Farm workshop in Greenville

[Dolomite`s Breezy]

The production of fruits and vegetables on small acreage has been increasing over the past few years. While a lot of information is out there, research and production information is constantly being updated and changed. The Profit & Production on Small Acreage Workshop, conducted by the University of Tennessee Extension, is designed for farmers with limited land resources who strive to maximize their production potential. The classes in this workshop series will focus on maximizing land usage through increased knowledge in production and marketing practices for crops suitable on small acreage.

Topics for the program will include: Small Fruit Production, Vegetable Production, Using Irrigation, Beekeeping, Plant Pathology & Entomology, Marketing, Budgeting and Pricing, Season Extension Concepts, and Companion Plants.

The program will be held at UT Extension Office in Greeneville, Tennessee. The series of meetings will begin on October 25, 2012 and continue for 6 nights including Oct 30, Nov. 1, 6, 13 and 15. All meetings will begin at 6:30 pm.

Pre-registration is required by October 12, 2012 along with the registration fee of $50.00 which includes the six classes, free soil test, nightly refreshments and a resource guide.
