A Vegetable Fertility Considerations for Season Extension workshop will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 8 at the Frank Bratt Agricultural Center, 3542 Turner Rd., Jamestown.
It is presented by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County’s Agriculture Program as part of their 2017-2018 L.E.A.F. (Learn. Empower. Achieve. Farm.) Workshop Series.
This workshop is for farmers interested in pushing their fruits and vegetables further with season extension techniques. Mulch, low tunnels, high tunnels and greenhouses all can increase yield and harvest window, but require a different fertility approach. In this session, we will discuss how to provide adequate nutrients to your crops without overloading the soil. By taking a balanced approach we can assure long-term, high yielding soils. Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and more.
Judson Reid, Extension Vegetable Specialist with the Cornell Vegetable Program, will be the leader of this interactive workshop. He has worked for Cornell Cooperative Extension for several years and focuses on cultural practices, small farm operations and season extension techniques through his work.
The cost is $5 per family.
Pre-registration is required prior to the workshop to allow for adequate time to prepare printed resources and materials.
