Dry Farmed Melon Field Day

Join us outside for an evening focused on dry farmed melons and learning from farmers and researchers who dry farm in the Willamette Valley!

We will be touring the melon research plot at the NWREC Learning Farm, observing five melon varieties that have been managed with four different irrigation strategies: dry farmed, strong deficit, slight deficit, and grower standard. There will also be a hands-on activity with soil moisture sensors.

This event is for all farmers growing small-scale vegetables but is specifically designed to benefit farmers with at least three years of experience.

We look forward to new connections and reconnections during this evening of learning!
