Come join UVM and UNH Extension and the Connecticut River Watershed Farmers Alliance for a field demonstration of equipment used for farm viability, soil health, and water quality. Steven Stocking, farmer and Connecticut River Watershed Farmers Alliance board member, will show us his converted no-till corn planter in action. We will be using the planter to drill into sod ground. He’ll share considerations made to convert his planter to no-till and how to make equipment adjustments for successful planting. And we’ll also talk about the no-till grain drill available for use by the Connecticut River Watershed Farmers Alliance. COST: Free.
