Vegetables on Trial: May Organic Farmer Researcher Network Meeting

Six years, 40 counties, 175 gardeners, 750 trials--impressive numbers for a variety trial program! Ed Brown, OSU Extension educator in Athens county, will join us on Thursday, May 2 to talk about the variety trial he coordinates with home gardeners around the state. Ed will share insight into how participants, varieties, and results are managed in this trial. As our network investigates starting an organic variety trials for commercial growers, we hope to learn from the experience of others.
