Organic Friends' E‑zine: July 2015

Photo of the Month, by Andy Hammermeister
Optimal agronomy and weed management for the production of organic flax is being explored in an Organic Science Cluster II Research Activity led by Dr. Steve Shirtliffe. For more information about Dr. Shirtliffe's organic weed management work, please read our new Q&A article, The People Behind the Research: An Interview with Dr. Steve Shirtliffe. Ìý

In this issue:

Organic Science Cluster II

This month we continue the series of Question & Answer style articles with the lead researchers of Organic Science Cluster II. These articles capture conversations with the researchers about themselves, their research, and the potential impacts of their work.

As well, we also begin a series of similarly-styled articles with Organic Science Cluster II partners. These articles capture conversations with partners about their organizations, their support of OSCII research, and the potential impacts of the work that they are supporting.
