Workshop aims to give farmers food for thought
Sask Organics is hosting a series of workshops across the province this month, for the purpose of reaching out to farmers who may be interested in making the switch to organic production.
“The business case is very strong for organics in terms of net returns per acre, and that’s what ultimately counts for farmers,” Workshops Committee Chair Will Oddie said.
The next scheduled workshop takes place Monday, Feb. 29 in Tisdale at the CanAlta Hotel.
Topics will include certification and legal requirements, and what the standards are for growers in terms of what they are and are not allowed to grow.
