Getting Started in Produce Farming
Specialty crop production offers opportunities for farmers of all scales and persuasions. The class will help prospective specialty crop producers inventory personal and farm resources, determine the appropriate cropping system based on their realities, answer questions related to producing the selected crop(s), and guide farmers to effective and sustainable marketing of these crops. The instructor is Patrick Byers (MU Extension).
Maximizing Productivity

This class will emphasize practices that maximize yield – selection of the best cultivars, selecting a good site, using irrigation effectively, fertility management, using good cultural practices, and good harvest and postharvest handling practices. The instructor is Patrick Byers (MU Extension).
