Laying Plastic Mulch in Your Operation
Saturday, April 22, 2023 • 10 am – noon
Have you ever wanted to use plastic mulch in your farming operation, but you didn’t have the proper equipment? This on‑site demonstration of the plastic mulch layer will show you how to lay black plastic and install drip irrigation tape all at once. The plastic mulch layer is one of the best risk management tools a grower can use when planting a new crop.
