Millsap Farms Walk: Fall Production
Weds. September 21st from 6:00 - 8:00 PM CST
(6593 N Emu Lane, Springfield, MO 65803)

Farming doesn’t need to stop as the temperature drops! Using season extension infrastructure, cold tolerant cultivars, and other methods, farmers can manage their production even as the weather gets cooler. Join us out at Millsap Farms to tour the farm and discuss how Curtis and his team manage their fall production.

 

No registration is necessary for this in person event, however selecting 'Going' on the Facebook event is helpful for planning purposes. Please be sure to bring a water bottle, comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, and bug repellent if you desire.

 

Thank you to our program partner University of Missouri Extension

for funding this workshop!

Think Ahead to Cover Cropping!

We've officially made it to fall in the Ozarks! There's still time to plant your cool weather crops, as well as think ahead to cover cropping options to help preserve and nourish your soil during the winter months.
