Welcome to "ON Organic"

Welcome to the January 2010 issue of ON Organic. Another year and a new decade. Winter is definitely the time for meetings and conferences and this issue outlines many of those learning opportunities. From the major conferences such as the Guelph Organic Conference or Eco-Farm Day to the many local meetings for each of the associations and production and clubs Go to the ones that fit your schedule and farm information needs. Do not be too busy to go learn how to do things better. Make sure you enjoy each day and use these opportunities to their maximum, get your questions answered. At the end of each day write down What did I learn today that I can use at home? Next, use that information to plan your farm activities for 2010. If you learn one new thing every day it will be a great 2010!
