Understand better body mechanics and movement patterns in order to increase productivity and help decrease on-farm injuries. Time will be spent in an interactive atmosphere moving through four basic movement patterns: hinge, squat, push and pull, along with the importance of core stability. Each participant will leave with tips focused on ways to improve their overall movement patterns and work-related well-being.
Housing developments, libraries and similar locations provide vacant land for community gardens. This webinar will share the journey of the Tapley Garden and review the key ingredients to soil health development, food access, and youth leadership.

Join Gideon Porth of Atlas Farm and Julie Fine of American Farmland Trust for a field walk exploring an innovative approach to tillage reduction for organic vegetables. Gideon will showcase the initial results of a trial utilizing multiple cover crops, including oats and peas, followed by buckwheat, to prepare for no-till transplanting fall kale. This strategy reduces tractor passes by 75% and requires no tillage during the cropping season. Gideon will share the background of the trials, the equipment, and the operations involved, and participants will be able to compare each treatment with its standard tillage control.
