A recent report by the Union of Concerned Scientists indicates that outdoor workers, particularly farmworkers, are 20 times more likely to die of heat-related illnesses than other workers. With increasingly extreme weather, the number of unsafe outdoor workdays is likely to climb. The Biden administration recently announced an effort to protect workers from heat stress, […]
Introduction of weeds is often a major concern for farmers that are considering manure application to their fields. Fortunately, there are several methods that reduce weed seed viability both before and after animal digestion. In this webinar we'll take a look at a few studies that show what works and what doesn't for minimizing introduction […]
Land is foundational to food production, and access to land is a critical issue for the next generation of farmers. Yet ownership of farmland in the United States is vastly unequal, with White people owning 98%. This webinar – the first of two on the topic of land justice – will explore how present day […]
