University of Illinois Extension once again will host the Small Farms Winter Webinar Series featuring practical lunch-hour presentations to give small farm producers a look at how leading practices in production, management and marketing can improve profitability and sustainability.
Viewers can tune in right from their desk at noon every Thursday through April 4. Each webinar will be presented by an Extension educator, timed to fit within your lunch hour, and recorded for future viewing if you have to miss the live session.
It’s easy and free to register for the Small Farms Winter Webinars. Sign up for as many as you want at http://go.aces.illinois.edu/SmallFarmWinterWebinar. A webinar reminder will be sent as well as log-on instructions and how to access the archived recording.
