Agricultural researchers with expertise in organic production are recruiting collaborating farmers for a on-farm sampling network across Northern Georgia and the Carolinas. We're a group of soil, insect and weed ecologists, and we're excited to learn about your most frustrating weed and insect management challenges!  We're gearing up to gather data to address them soon, and we're specifically trying to understand how to refine organic fertility management strategies to promote natural pest suppression.  If you volunteer to participate in our sampling network, you'll see a member of our team once or twice a year on-site at your farm. We'll collect soil samples and pay for them to be processed, then we'll do some visual pest scouting, break out our bug vacuums, and evaluate weed pressure.  And of course, we'll share all this information with you and help you interpret what we learned with data from your farm. We expect to begin large-scale sampling in summer 2020, but we plan to visit a small subset of farms once this season.  Please join us!
