Welcome to the Russell Ranch/SAFS Project, Summer 2008, Vol. 8/No. 3 newsletter, which presents research results from the UC Davis Russell Ranch Sustainable Agriculture Facility. The articles here continue our efforts to provide useful information on economically and ecologically sustainable research and management practices for California growers. The research described is based on experiments with the Sustainable Agriculture Farming Systems (SAFS) project, which is funded through 2009 by CalFed. Note: Please join us for our annual field day Tuesday, June 17, 2008 at the Russell Ranch facility in Davis. The editor of California Farmer Magazine, Len Richardson, will be the keynote speaker. Stay tuned.
