Continue Learning

I have always said that one of my favorite things about farming is the continual opportunities to learn. Learn not just about dirt or pesticides, but also tax planning, land use, water resources, immigration and labor. The list goes on and on, especially today. Today I’m attending the Dunn Carney Ag Summit.

The morning has started out with Oregon Department of Agriculture Director Katy Coba and continues into the afternoon with more great speakers.

I always look forward to these kinds of opportunities and since it is pouring rain outside it gives me a break from my own office!! Have a great Friday everyone!

The PowerPoint Slide…

The PowerPoint slide doesn’t say, “just go out and spray chemicals to take care of the problem!”

I saw this slide during a presentation from Oregon State University at this years Seed Growers League and just thought it was so interesting because I get so many questions about why we spray “so much”.
So here is a bit of reality about what we are taught, what tools we use, and how yes, we continue to strive to be true stewards of the land.
