NORTH WEBSTER — The Watershed Foundation (TWF) invites local landowners, farmers and other agricultural professionals to an informative agriculture breakfast: “Water Problems: What Every Farm and Landowner Should Know About Water Movement.”
The event will feature a presentation from Dr. Jerry Sweeten, professor emeritus of biology and director of environmental studies at Manchester University and founder of the EcoSystems Connections Institute. Sweeten brings practical insight from decades of experience in ecology and waterway restoration throughout Indiana, according to a news release from TWF.
At this free breakfast roundtable, participants will explore how water behaves on agricultural land, common challenges producers face and strategies to work with natural systems to protect soil, crops and waterways.
In addition to the presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to connect with members of the Warsaw Community High School Envirothon Team.
The event will be at the North Webster Community Center, 301 N. Main St., North Webster, on Feb. 19 from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. Registration and breakfast begin at 7:30 a.m. Program and roundtable are 8:15 to 10:30 a.m.
TWF extends special thanks to the local organizations, farms and businesses whose sponsorships make this event possible.
The Watershed Foundation is hosting this agriculture breakfast as part of its ongoing commitment to supporting and partnering with the agricultural community — those who work tirelessly to produce food, fiber and fuel while caring for the land and water that sustain us all, the release states.
