broadcaster-picture-e1443112899347The January/February issue of the Organic Broadcaster is out. this publication comes from MOSES,  the Midwest Organic and Sustainable Education Service.

This issue includes articles about the state of Organics in 2016, food safety rules and the relatively new USDA Whole Farm Revenue Protection (crop insurance for the rest of us). Previously crop insurance did not cover unusual crops (which we might not consider that unusual – vegetable seed crops, medicinal herbs. . . ) Other articles cover organic cropland in Illinois, a book review of Marketing Organic Grain by John Bobbe, research on labor efficiencies on organic diversified vegetable farms, preparing livestock for a healthy birthing season, supplying methionine in organic poultry rations, setting goals for successfully transferring your farm to new farmers and a new publication on keeping children safe on farms .


Meanwhile, here at Twin Oaks, I’m bracing for really cold weather for a couple of days and the possibility of large amounts of snow on Friday and Saturday. And I’m getting ready for my trip to Lexington, Kentucky for my presentation on Intensive Vegetable Production on a Small Scale at the SSAWG Conference.
