Direct seeders meet next week

Palouse Direct Seeders will hold another breakfast meeting next Wednesday, Jan. 12, at 7 a.m. in the Methodist Church in Colfax.

Speaking will be Steve Swannack, a Lamont-area farmer, who will present his direct seed farming system and share his experience growing rotation crops.

Also speaking will be Dan Harwood, coordinator of the Palouse Rock Lake Conservation District. Harwood will speak about the direct seed mentoring program run by the Rock Lake and Spokane conservation districts and the state Department of Ecology. The program pays farmers with direct seed systems to plant ground to show how the systems perform.

The breakfast will be hosted by the Colfax Grange Supply’s Agronomy plant.
