Farmer-Led Trial Program: November Ohio Organic Farmer Researcher Network Meeting

Farmer-Led Trial Program
Mary Hathaway, Organic Farming Research Foundation

Join us to learn about the OFRF Farmer-Led Trials program. Now in its second year of accepting proposals, this grant program puts farmers in the driver’s seat and recognizes their wisdom, experimentation, and problem-solving skills. The program provides organic farmers with technical assistance and a small amount of funding to investigate and learn about solutions to their most pressing production challenges. Please plan to join us and bring your questions.

Learn about the FLT program, last year’s recipients, and OFRF’s work at https://ofrf.org/research/farmer-led-research-trials/. Application deadline is December 1.
