So I have been in AU for 3 days. I miss it when I go visit. Oh, to be a student again.....sorry, back to business. I was at a 3 day workshop on what it means to be USDA certified Organic. It was a very interesting training, though i am not sure many farmers will b e knocking on my door to become certified. We went through all of the ins and outs to become organic. It is NOT just replacing synthetic chemicals for naturals or nothing at all. It is much more involoved than that. I found it interesting on a personal sense - seeing that I am the consumer paying higher prices- I need to know what I am getting. If anyone is interested in having me do a talk for ya'll just ask. I can pass on what I learned. I am not interested in arguing the good, the bad, or the ugly about organic versus traditional farming methods-there is not enough science nor am I knowledgeable about everything you must know to make a great arguement either way. I am now, however pretty educated on what USDA ORganic means.
On other subjects- I will be working from home next week- I will be calling in a couple of times per day, checking messages and checking email. I am looking forward to tour rain barrel demo- hope we can help save some water and$ during this drought. I really think with the multiplier effect we can do some good.
I will be having a Hispanic Training in September so if any of you know any landscape company owners- please help me market to them.
I chatted with the Russell COunty agent about doing some cross programming-hopefully we can coordintate somthing this coming year-we want to re-do teh trip to Massee Lanes. Until Later!
