Join us for the Annual Farming for the Future Field Day hosted by the Oceana Conservation District, Michigan State University Extension, and Oceana County Farm Bureau. This event is open to anyone interested to learn about practices they can implement to improve soil heath, profitability, and sustainability on their farms. The day will include equipment demonstrations and presentations such as drone seeding of cover crops in asparagus, mowers that provide regenerative benefits to fruit crops, an electric weeder, how to do your own soil health assessments, using biological methods to control pests. Local fruit buyers will provide information about their companies’ sustainability or regenerative programs and much more! Lunch, snacks, drinks, and door prizes will be included but pre-registration is required.

Oceana Conservation District is offering agricultural field events this summer with a focus on soil health. These events were made possible by a Regenerative Agriculture Education and Outreach Grant from the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.
