Jessie Fleisher, Athena’s Harvest

Saturday, December 6th, 9:00 AM

This session will cover the reasons for choosing low-till/no-till techniques, provide an overview of the equipment and production methods used on our farm, and offer a detailed look at the decision tree we use to determine when and in what order to apply these techniques to maximize production, efficiency, and soil health. We'll use the decision tree to illustrate why there is no one-technique-fits-all solution for every scenario on a diversified fruit and vegetable operation.
