SUMMARY:Organic Research Record Keeping Strategies & Questions for Transition
DESCRIPTION:Join the NDSU Carrington Research Center for their 2026 field day for their insightful tour on their current research programs in organic and regenerative agriculture as well as afternoon informational session with NPSAS. Check out the various organic research plots and learn the value and importance of this research and how it benefits the industry. Come and here what is NDSU doing to impact the organic food world.   \nStay for the afternoon session where you’ll hear about record keeping strategies and ideas that can help ease your record keeping fears and burdens and aid in the decision making of your operation. In addition to helping with certification\, such data can be useful in increasing income\, decreasing expenses\, aiding in yield\, input\, crop rotation strategies\, and more.  Closing out the day NPSAS Farm Breeder Network (FBN) will meet and talk about the current NPSAS Farmer Bred Devyatka Buckwheat Project and other potential research and development of NPSAS and answer some of the most frequently asked questions when transitioning to organic production.  \nSchedule for the Day \n9:00 am to 12:00 pm – NDSU Carrington Organic Research Field Day & NPSAS Organic Research \n12:00 pm – 1:00 pm – Lunch  \n1:00 pm – 2:00 pm – Record Keeping Strategies with Q & A \n2:00 pm – 3:00 pm – Farm Breeder Network and the Devyatka Research  \nPlease register below so we can plan appropriately for the day. \n \nThis is a USDA Transition to Organic Farm Production (TOPP) event of the Plains Region .\n \n\n\n\n                \n                        \n                            Carrington Research & Record Keeping\n                            We look forward to seeing you in Carrington. \n                        \n                        Name(Required)\n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    First\n                                                \n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    Last\n                                                \n                            \n                        Email\n                            \n                        Cell phone # (in case circumstances change on the day of the event)Do you have any questions you would like answered about organic transition or strategies and insight record keeping?Are you a farmer interested in organic farming?(Required)I am a farmer interested in new technology.I am already a certified organic organic farm.I am a farmer interested in more information on transitioning to organic farming.I am not a farmer\, I just think ag tech is cool.How did you hear about this event?Social MediaAdvertisementWord of MouthNewspaperOrganizational NewsletterOtherWant to keep up-to-date with our latest news and announcements?
