Water Quality from a Produce Safety Perspective, Wendy Johnecheck, UNH Extension
Tuesday, February 25, 12-1:00
Managing water on your produce farm involves many different considerations. During this lunch and learn we will discuss how pre-harvest water use on your farm can impact produce safety. We will then show how to utilize this information to meet FSMA’s agriculture water assessment requirements. The topic will be presented with the goal of leaving growers with tools for integrating produce safety risk into broader decisions about water management on the farm.

Twilight Meetings
Twilight Meetings give agronomic crop growers an opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas and information to improve their crop operations. The concept is to provide support and education to experienced crop growers by touring a local farm. Typically, these meetings are in person and University or Industry professionals may attend meetings to help facilitate or structure the programming.
