Happy New Year to you all! The growing season is just around the corner and most of you are eagerly awaiting seed deliveries. Although the weather outside may be frightful at times, high tunnel and field planting dates are right around the corner. Get organized and be prepared to make this new growing season a success. We’ve got a new resource to help. Check out our High Tunnel Micro-Irrigation Guide and an expert tip on what you need to consider when installing your irrigation system in this month’s Grower’s Toolbox.

And, for more great resources, be sure to check out upcoming CFSA events, like the Organic Commodities and Livestock Conference happening March 6 in Mount Olive, NC.

Cheers,

Karen McSwain, CFSA’s Director of Farm Services and Food Systems
