    I don’t know if this is the best place to share this talk, but I’m trying to follow through with the renewed commitment to using this site!

    Hi Folks, I look forward to joining this group. I’ve been reading on my own for a while now and working on a couple of related projects: The Climate Adaptation Committee of the Environmental Management Council and the Climate-Wise Gardening group and Fair. I also try my hand at gardening for birds and pollinators, among others. Regi

      Hi, Regi! Your name came up in a very positive way at tonight's MOF meeting. Can you call me sometime this week, and I'll give you an idea of where we're at in our process? 607-216-7441 Looking forward to talking! Merrill

    Nice little article in this week's Tompkins Weekly. Kind of says it all: in order to increase the practice of regenerative farming, we need to support the movement by buying locally and organically!

    Hello, all. Go to https://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.cce.cornell.edu/attachments/1172/fa... to read what Cornell Extension has to say about carbon sequestration. Unfortunately, written a while ago. I have a call in to connect with someone. Will try again before our meeting. *** Is everyone available to zoom at 7:00 on Thursday, July 30? If technology is on our side, we should get plenty of time for our conversation. Merrill

    Wow. The minutes look really strange. Any suggestions?
  • Merrill Hurst June 25, 2020 at 9:54pm
    I posted the minutes under Forum.

    Great chat tonight! Sorry we lost you at the end, Marie. Before I forget, when I signed out of the meeting, they offered us another free extension for our next meeting if I scheduled right away! So I did! Obviously we can change the date I picked, or just go with Dave's account next time, but pencil this date on your calendars: Thursday, July 30, 7PM. Now I'll get to the minutes.

Tompkins Food Policy Council - intro

Have attended two meetings to date with the Tompkins Food Policy Council's environment team.  Although you may not be able to join in yourselves, there's much that is being discussed that the MOF Regenerative Farming group would be interested in.  Wish I could carry you all in my pocket! There are numerous juicy local ag data points in the draft "Production" document that the Food Council enviro team is reviewing currently.  There's also qualitative data at the end of the Production doc that…
