SUMMARY:Seeds of Success: Pest and Disease Management for Organic Farms in the Northwest
DESCRIPTION:Join the Organic Farming Research Foundation (OFRF) on Thursday\, August 27\, at 12:00 pm PT for a webinar designed for organic and transitioning farmers across the Northwest. \nManaging pests and disease organically isn’t easy. The Northwest throws a lot at growers\, from crop-specific insect pressure to diseases that can wreck a harvest fast. Having the right tools and knowledge on hand can make all the difference. \nThe session will open with an overview of OFRF’s organic farming resources\, followed by a panel discussion featuring experienced organic farmers and researchers: \n\nEllie Costello\, Trust Land Farm (MT)\nSarahlee Lawrence\, Rainshadow Organics (OR)\nRobert Orpet\, OSU Assistant Professor of Entomology\n\nPanelists will share field-tested strategies for managing pests and disease within organic systems\, informed by both direct farming experience and current research. The discussion will address real challenges facing growers today\, alongside approaches that align with organic production standards. \nA facilitated Q&A will follow\, giving you the opportunity to ask questions directly of the panel. \nSign up at https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_cnt3P5TRSji-8DvU0VwFLw#/registration.

SUMMARY:Cover Cropping Strategies for Organic Systems in the West
DESCRIPTION:Cover crops are one of the most powerful tools available to organic and transitioning farmers\, but getting them right in western growing conditions takes knowledge and experience. This webinar brings together researchers and practitioners to share what the science says and what is working on the ground. \nOFRF Conservation Scientist Rebecca Champagne\, PhD\, will present current research on cover crops for western organic systems\, covering soil health\, nutrient and weed management\, pollinator support\, and grazing integration. Shannon Cappellazzi\, PhD\, Soil Health Extension Specialist with Oregon State University\, and Anthony Reyes\, Director of Agriculture at Oxbow Farm and Conservation Center\, will join the panel to offer research and on-farm perspectives from real-world experience in the region. \nAttendees will leave with practical strategies for cover crop selection and management\, an introduction to the Western Cover Crops Council selection tool\, and NOP compliance context. This webinar is ideal for: extension agents\, technical service providers\, crop advisors\, and organic and transitioning farmers. Certified Crop Advisors: 1.0 CEU in Crop Management. Credit instructions provided at the close of the session. \nREGISTER HERE.
