Organic Grain: Harvesting, Storage, and Processing Online Workshop Series
Three workshops
regarding the harvesting, handling, storage, and processing of grain crops.
It's the final year of our NE SARE grant lead by Elizabeth Dyck, the
coordinator of the Organic Growers' Research and Information-Sharing Network
(OGRIN). The training program will be a series of three intensive 75
minute online short courses with video field days/workshops that will largely
be taught by farmers and NE Grain Experts and located on farms and/or at
processing venues. Sponsored by NOFA-NJ (https://nofanj.org/
).
The emphasis is on smaller-scale systems, but all grain farmers can learn something useful.
