Cover Cropping in Orchards Webinar - CAFF (California Alliance of Family Farmers) is hosting another session on cover cropping in orchards, discussing N management, biosolarization, and water dynamics.
- CAFF and the Sacramento Valley Technical Assistance Hub welcome you to a free discussion on cover crop management in orchard systems. We’ll hear from North Sac Valley almond and walnut grower Rory Crowley and UC Cooperative Specialist Jeff Mitchell on cover crop management in relation to nitrogen and impacts on water balance, in addition to biosolarization for nematode suppression. Practical management considerations and research trial findings will be discussed. Register here: Link

4-H Camp: Educating on Local Ecology |
|
|
Beginning the week of June 28th and spread across 4 days, 4-H students enjoyed outdoor adventures and learning about water, air, ecology, and soil. The 4-H organization bands together students from across Merced County annually every summer in Pine Crest. Due to COVID-19 this year, they had to improvise by separating the group into 2 reduced cohorts each having a 2-day excursion. About 45 4th-8th graders were taught by trained high school students on different environmental topics. |
