Hi, will this workshop be beneficial for small diversified farmers? Or is the focus aimed toward larger scale production. Thanks.
The workshop is valuable for all acreages of growers with examples of production practices for small diversified growers as well as commercial growers. The general production as well as insect and pest sections are relevant to all growers.
