| | Going Organic - or GO is hosting two-day seminars in four regions across the province between November 2009 and February 2010. In each region there will be a full day of workshops covering soil management, current applicable organic research and speed dating with experts on topics such as livestock, crop production and marketing. In Leduc, Grande Prairie and Lethbridge there will also be an organic beef sector development meeting at the end of the day. The second day of the workshops will differ from region to region. In Leduc, market gardeners can look forward to Daniel Brisebois from Quebec presenting a full-day course on crop planning. In Grande Prairie, there will be a full day course on transition to organic livestock production and in La Crete and Lethbridge, the course will focus on transition to organic crop production. The workshops will be held:
- November 17 and 18, 2009 - Leduc
- November 30 and December 1, 2009 - Grande Prairie
- December 3 and 4, 2009 - La Crete
- February 25 and 26, 2010 - Lethbridge
The workshops will be of interest for producers already involved in, those currently transitioning to and for those generally interested in organic production. The cost of the workshop is $75 for both days. One-day registration and student pricing is available.
