Urban Ag Hour
The Urban Ag Hour is a new monthly initiative hosted by the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension's Urban Agriculture, Small-Scale, and Beginning Farmer Program in collaboration with the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Our series launch will feature a talk by Dr. Edward Martin on irrigation for urban farms, followed by State Outreach Coordinator Paul Cattelino's presentation on the NRCS conservation mission and the broad range of financial and technical assistance programs NRCS has available to help farmers and ranchers including urban and beginning farmers. Participants will gain knowledge specific to small-scale and urban farming, while having an opportunity to connect with service providers, Extension expertise and other farmers in attendance!
