    Principles of Regenerative Agriculture Many current agricultural practices exploit the native fertility of our soils, creating an unsustainable system unable to support healthy soils and crops. Truly sustainable agricultural systems must utilize regenerative models which allow soil and plant health to improve, not degrade, over time.

    Join John Kempf of Advancing Eco-Agriculture to learn the principles which support re-generative farming systems and what’s possible when plant health is approached from a fundamentally different perspective. Discover the differences between healthy and unhealthy plants and find out how you can produce disease- and pest-resistant crops, which are healthier and more nutritious for the animals and people who eat them.

    Udder Health and Mastitis Control in Organic Dairies

    Practical management and mastitis control practices can improve milk quality and farm profitability for organic dairy producers.

    Join veterinarians Dr. Päivi Rajala-Schultz and Dr. Luciana da Costa from the OSU College of Veterinary Medicine and Organic Valley Cooperative staff veterinarian Dr. Guy Jodarski to learn the basic requirements for good udder health, strategies for managing clinical mastitis, and more.
