Registration has begun for two farm workshops

Registration has begun for two workshops on February 26th presented by the Winneshiek County Women, Land & Legacy committee.

Winneshiek County District Conservationist Todd Duncan will present a workshop on "Cover Crops and Their Benefits," while financial planner Myron Friesen of Osage will present a workshop on "Leaving Your Legacy."

The two workshops will; run from 1:00 p.m. until 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, February 26th, in the lower level of the Winneshiek County Farm Bureau Building at 214 Winnebago Street in Decorah.  Light refreshments will be served.

The first workshop is for individuals who want to learn more about cover crops and their benefits.  Land that is highly erodible that does not have a heavy cover over the winter months may benefit greatly from this practice. 

The second workshop is for individuals who want to know how to protect and pass on their inheritance; where to start and what resources are available.

To reserve your spot, please RSVP by calling the Winneshiek County FSA Office at 563-382-8777, or email:  julie.vulk@ia.usda.gov by February 24th.

This workshop is sponsored in part by WL&L Committee, IA State Ext Service, FSA, NRCS Winneshiek SWCD, Viking State Bank, Farm Bureau, NICC, Security State Bank and Bank of the West
