This resource offers valuable insights and tools for farmers and researchers to enhance agricultural practices, improve crop yields, and promote sustainable farming methods, ultimately contributing to food security and environmental stewardship.

Southern region organic producers face tremendous challenges from weeds, pests, diseases, increasing weather extremes, and rising production costs. This webinar explores the potential of soil restoration and improvement to reduce these risks, stabilize yields, and build resilience. We will focus on three key soil health issues: cover cropping, reducing tillage intensity, and frugal use of nutrient-bearing amendments.

Join Chris Blanchard's webinar to learn 12 essential steps for ensuring safe food production. Discover practical food safety measures tailored for organic produce farmers to enhance microbiological safety and meet rising consumer expectations.

Discover the health benefits of grazing cows on spring grass, known as 'Dr. Green.' Explore how barley fodder provides nutrient density without starch drawbacks, enhancing rumen function even during winter months for optimal dairy farming.

Join Dr. Joji Muramoto and Carol Shennan from the University of California, Santa Cruz, for a discussion on the findings from a four-year study assessing organic strawberry/vegetable crop rotations. The study compared 2- and 4-year rotations with either broccoli or lettuce grown between strawberry crops. Data on yields, disease incidence, soil nitrogen dynamics and preliminary economic analysis will be presented.

Join our webinar to explore the financial benefits of using high-energy grasses and birdsfoot trefoil in organic dairy heifer operations, comparing it to conventional methods. Understand the economic implications for sustainable farming practices.

This webinar shares findings from a three-year USDA-funded study on improving organic melon production in Maryland, focusing on yield, quality, and food safety, offering valuable insights for farmers and researchers to enhance profitability.

Join Dr. Brad Heins, Assistant Professor at the University of Minnesota, for a webinar focusing on pasture management and forage species selection in organic dairy production systems. Dr. Heins will discuss forage quality of cool-season and warm-season grasses and present findings from a recent study on the performance of dairy cows grazing in these pasture systems.

Join Dr. Darrell Emmick's webinar to learn about behavior-based grazing management, enhancing plant-herbivore interactions for improved animal well-being, ecosystem health, and sustainable farming practices. Don't miss this opportunity to optimize your grazing strategies!

Join Dr. Jennifer MacAdam's webinar on a USDA-funded study assessing birdsfoot trefoil's impact on organic dairy production, exploring milk quality, soil health, and economic implications for transitioning from grass pastures to BFT.

Join Dr. Donald Rutz and Keith Waldron in this informative webinar on managing horn, face, and stable flies on organic dairy farms using Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to safeguard animal health and improve pest control.

Join Brad Heins, Assistant Professor at the University of Minnesota, for a webinar focusing on organic dairy production and out-wintering. Out-wintering involves keeping livestock outside for some or all of the winter. Learn about a study that evaluated the effect of two winter housing systems on organic dairy production, somatic cell counts (SCC), body weight, body condition scores (BCS), and dry matter intake (DMI).

Join Fay Benson, project manager of New York's Organic Dairy Initiative, for a discussion about incorporating radishes and brassicas into organic pastures. Radishes can provide two benefits to the organic dairy pasture: 1) to extend the grazing season with a high energy feedstock, and 2) to provide “bio-drills” by utilizing the tap roots of these plants to address soil compaction.

Discover dry farming techniques for the Pacific Northwest, covering site selection, tools, and seed-saving. Join experts from OSU and seasoned farmers to learn how to grow crops sustainably in arid conditions.

Join Giuseppe Colla, Associate Professor and Vegetable Physiologist at Tuscia University (Viterbo, Italy) for a webinar on biofungicides, biostimulants, and biofertilizers. Topics will include a discussion on the type of products available, an overview of recent studies evaluating product efficacy, and strategies for effective application.

Discover how mustard cover crops with high glucosinolate levels can serve as effective biofumigants, reducing pests and pathogens in crops like potatoes, peppers, and strawberries.

Discover effective strategies for managing cucurbit downy mildew on organic farms in this video. Learn about the disease caused by Pseudoperonospora cubensis and its impact on cucurbit crops.

Join corn breeders Margaret Smith and Richard Pratt in a webinar discussing various corn varieties, their characteristics, and their pros and cons.

This webinar provides an overview of practices to produce quality organic tomato seed. Key topics include varietal considerations, isolation and management practices, and fermentation, storage and treatment practices that will maintain seed integrity.
