SUMMARY:Farming with Data
DESCRIPTION:Participants will hear first-hand about what it takes to transition a farming operation. Fairly new to the organic farming industry\, Blake Burggraff will share his experience transitioning land to certified regenerative organic practices while the family farm where he grew up remains in conventional farming practices. Blake and other speakers will also share innovations in equipment\, crop rotation\, soil health strategies\, and data collection used for vital decision-making. \nThis event is a USDA Transition to Organic Partnership Program Event \n \nRegistration Coming Soon!

SUMMARY:Farm Breeder Network
DESCRIPTION:The Farm Breeding Network (FBN) brings farmers\, chefs\, processors\, and eaters together to share knowledge and seed stock for seed saving\, crop breeding and fellowship. This NPSAS committee gives farmers the information and discussion group they need in order to participate as partners in public plant breeding and to take on their own breeding projects at home. This committee seeks to support public plant breeding and to revive a long tradition of seed saving and on farm breeding to ensure the availability of adapted and productive varieties. The FBN also seeks to maintain breeding and seed saving rights for farmers\, the original plant breeders. \nCommittee members determine FBN projects and goals. Farmers are connecting with one another and with researchers to actively improve\, save and share seeds. We are also linking with groups and individuals worldwide to build farmer-centric plant breeding and seed networks. \nThe zoom link for these meetings is sent via email each month to those interested in attending. If you’d like to participate in this event and be notified of this monthly event moving forward\, send an email to the NPSAS director at this address. \nIf you’d like to learn more about the Farm Breeder Network check out this page on our website.

This NPSAS committee gives farmers the information and discussion group they need in order to participate as partners in public plant breeding and to take on their own breeding projects at home. This committee seeks to support public plant breeding and to revive a long tradition of seed saving and on farm breeding to ensure the availability of adapted and productive varieties. The FBN also seeks to maintain breeding and seed saving rights for farmers\, the original plant breeders. \nCommittee members determine FBN projects and goals. Farmers are connecting with one another and with researchers to actively improve\, save and share seeds. We are also linking with groups and individuals worldwide to build farmer-centric plant breeding and seed networks. \nThe zoom link for these meetings is sent via email each month to those interested in attending. If you’d like to participate in this event and be notified of this monthly event moving forward\, send an email to the NPSAS director at this address. \nIf you’d like to learn more about the Farm Breeder Network check out this page on our website.

SUMMARY:Farm Breeder Network
DESCRIPTION:The Farm Breeding Network (FBN) brings farmers\, chefs\, processors\, and eaters together to share knowledge and seed stock for seed saving\, crop breeding and fellowship. This NPSAS committee gives farmers the information and discussion group they need in order to participate as partners in public plant breeding and to take on their own breeding projects at home. This committee seeks to support public plant breeding and to revive a long tradition of seed saving and on farm breeding to ensure the availability of adapted and productive varieties. The FBN also seeks to maintain breeding and seed saving rights for farmers\, the original plant breeders. \nCommittee members determine FBN projects and goals. Farmers are connecting with one another and with researchers to actively improve\, save and share seeds.
