On October 6th and 13th the Community Alliance with Family Farmers (CAFF) is
putting on training designed for agriculture professionals on the BIOS
approach to orchard management and technology transfer. They have put
together a program designed to expand one's working knowledge on the
implementation of biological farming practices in almonds, wine grapes and
other crops. This training will be appropriate for the novice and the
veteran extension/conservationist/environmentalist. To register for the
Workshop contact Mark Cady at the CAFF Office (530) 756-8518 extension 20.
