Research updates
Nine 10 minute presentations update growers with progress reports and outcomes of current research. The varied topics will interest and inform while providing an excellent overview of what is happening in the industry. Visit the CGC website for full details.
Organic greenhouse production
Herbs, vegetables, and edible ornamentals are clearly the hottest segment of commercial growing and retail action anywhere, increasing by double digit percentages annually. Lloyd Traven, owner of Peace Tree Farms, will look at techniques, terms, protocols, advantages and downsides of organic farming. Norm Hansen shares what he has learned and unlearned when it comes to organic production and certification. If you choose to go the route of certification, retired OMAFRA specialist, Hugh Martin, provides helpful information.
