Session: Session 2A

Start / End: 08:00 AM - 08:50 AM Sat


Over 30 years of growing organic vegetable crops herbicide drift has been a persistent challenge on our farm. As weeds and insects develop resistance our conventional neighbors chemical cocktails get stronger. Drift can travel and it can be impossible to prove where it
came from. This problem is not going away. What can organic growers do to mitigate losses to drift? This workshop is a time for sharing hard lessons learned, recognizing damage, tactics to reduce losses, how to report drift and what to expect when you do.
