SUMMARY:Compost Conference Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:The CT Compost Conference scheduled for March 2020\, which had been postponed has been restructured into a series of 5 free webinars. While we won’t have the opportunities to network\, this event continues to play a critical role in Connecticut’s ability to better manage food scraps through composting. \nThis CT Compost Webinar series provides information and resources for farmers and municipalities to expand their leaf and/or manure composting operation to include food scraps. The focus of workshops will include the benefits to soil health\, conservation\, food waste management\, and climate adaptation. Compost manufacturing and compost utilization are vital to producing healthy soils\, clean air and water\, and sustainable society. \n\nWEBINAR 1 – August 26th from 4-6 pm\n“Different Scales of Composting: From Municipalities to Farms”\nRobert Isner (CT DEEP)\, James McSweeney (Compost Technical Services\, Arlington\, MA)\, Coreyanne Mansell (CET\, MA) \n \n  \nWEBINAR 2 | September 9th from 4-6 pm\n“Municipal Composting; Case Studies/Updates”\nCoryanne Mansell\, CET\, MA \nAthena Lee Bradley\, Windham Solid Waste Management District\, Brattleboro\, VT \nDoug Colter\, City of West Haven \nJennifer Heaton-Jones\, HRRA \nDave Aldridge\, SCRRRA \n \n  \nWEBINAR 3 | September 23rd from 4-6 pm\n“Advanced Composting: Building Quality with Recipes\, Testing\, Nutrient Management & Environmental Planning”\nDomingo Medina (CT NOFA)\, Dawn Pettinelli (UCONN)\, James Hyde (USDA NRCS) \n \n  \nWEBINAR 4 | October 7th from 4-6 pm\n“Composting: Feedstocks\, Equipment\, Siting\, Infrastructure & Management”\nAndrew Carpenter (Northern Tilth\, Maine)\, Peter Moon (O2Compost) \n \n  \nWEBINAR 5 | October 28th from 4-6 pm\n“Farm Composting: Case Studies/Updates”\nMike Carrigan\, Agresource\n \nJack Collins\, Collins Compost \nBrian Jerose\, Agrilab Technologies \nDr. Candace Benyei\, Whimsy Brook Farm \n \n

SUMMARY:Online Soil Health Field Day at Red Shirt Farm - Lanesboro MA
DESCRIPTION:Join NOFA MASS for a virtual tour of Red Shirt Farm in Lanesboro\, MA to learn from farm manager Jim Schultz and guest presenter Dan Kittredge of the Bionutrient Food Association to learn how their no-till farming practices are improving soil health and the nutritional density of their produce.  We will have video clips of Red Shirt Farm that show Jim discussing certain aspects of the farm\, including: BCS tillage reduction equipment set up and systems\,  Johnson-Su Bioreactor\, and permanent bed systems.  Jim will give a demonstration of his BCS-powered transferred mulch system\, including mower\, rake and mini-baler. This system is used to convert cover crops to mulch that can be used elsewhere on the farm. Dan will talk about the results of the Real Food Campaign work so far and how they are collecting data to link the value of healthy soils and nutritious food to overall human health. Dan will share his insight into how management practices affect nutrient density in crops. We will show how the Bionutrient Meter can be used in the field to assess the crops in real time.
