	Putting Small Acreage to Work Workshop November 14th, 2009 @ 8:15 AM - 3:30 PM Asheboro, NC
	Are you looking for new options for your farm or garden? Are you new to farming and interested in knowing more about the “tools of the trade”? Dr. Jonathan Schultheis of North Carolina State University will talk about “Growing and Marketing Specialty Melons.” Cary Rivard, also of NC State University, will speak about “Grafting Tomatoes for Disease Resistance and Vigor.” He will then demonstrate this exciting technique that can be used to manage soilborne diseases or to increase tomato production on low-vigor varieties. During lunch (provided), Extension Agent Mary Helen Ferguson will talk about “Integrating Produce and Livestock.” Afterward, we will travel to Walker Farms in Franklinville to learn from Extension Agent Troy Coggins and farmer Bill Walker about “Equipment for the Small Farm.” Pre-registration and a fee of $8 (lunch included) are due by Nov. 12. Checks, made out to NC Cooperative Extension – Randolph County, can be sent to 112 W. Walker Ave., Asheboro, NC, 27203. For accommodations for persons with disabilities or limited English proficiency, contact Mary Helen Ferguson at 336-318-6000 (phone), 336-318-6011 (FAX), maryhelen_ferguson@ncsu.edu, or in person, no later than five business days before the event.
