“Compost production, usage, and benefits along with organic cropping systems from Hirzel Farms”
Brigette Burgess is going on her 11th year at Hirzel Farms and works in sales and purchasing. Over her time with Hirzel, she quickly fell in love with organic farming and the growers in the community. Her responsibilities shifted to reaching out and providing organic and conventional growers with cover crops, compost, and markets for their crops. This includes soil health studies with Hirzel’s compost and cover crops with Ohio State and private consultants.
Her presentation will cover Hirzel’s compost facility and their uses of compost, the grain cleaning facility that is FDA registered and soon to be FSMA certified, and their organic farm and rotation with the use of cover crops.
Ohio Farm Bureau is a sponsor of the Agribusiness Forum.
