The 2020 Organic No-Till Intensive will provide two full days of intensive instruction on organic no-till farming methods and science, taught by Rodale Institute CEO Jeff Moyer and his team of farmers and researchers.

This course is designed for innovative farmers who want to improve soil structure, maximize soil biology and minimize synthetic inputs through reduced tillage, as well as turn cover crops into a source of fertility and a tool for weed management.

Intensive course: July 15-16, 2020
Rodale Farm in Kutztown, Pennsylvania
