Web Site of Interest
The New Agriculture Network -- Three universities, Michigan State University, Purdue University, and the University of Illinois, are joining resources to bring seasonal advice to field crop and vegetable growers interested in organic agriculture. New information will be posted twice a month during the growing season and less frequently during winter. Our on-line newsletter features crop updates from organic growers and articles from university specialists about a variety of practices and new findings useful for organic growers. This site will serve those interested in transitioning to organic as well as those currently practicing low-input or organic agriculture. Available at: www.ipm.msu.edu/new-ag.htm
