National Learn About Compost Day is May 29, 2023 (which is also Memorial Day, so we’re sharing this in advance of the holiday weekend) and CDFA is celebrating with this video about the department’s work with Glenn County grower Mike Schager to add compost to his walnut orchard.
Thanks to Mike for his cooperation, and to Dana Yount, an environmental scientist specializing in compost and organic waste with CDFA’s Office of Environmental Farming and Innovation, for her work on this project.
