The Minnesota Agroforestry Institute is a two-and-a-half-day training that includes classroom workshops and on-farm visits. It will provide all participants with the opportunity to network together and integrate the concepts learned into practical farm plans. The five Agroforestry practices will be discussed in depth and possible state and federal funding sources for each. The five Agroforestry practices include: Windbreaks, Silvopasture, Riparian Buffers, Alley Cropping and Forest Farming. The target audience is SWCD, NRCS and DNR staff but farmers, landowners, agriculture and natural resource professionals are welcome and would benefit from this training.
The event organizers hope participants can attend all two and a half days of the event. Registration includes room, bus, and speaker hotel expenses. Institute sponsors will cover meal expenses which include: three light breakfasts, three lunches, two dinners, and refreshments. Participants are responsible for their own lodging and transportation costs.
There are 2.5 CEUs available for registrants who attend this event.
