Oliver Moore: Skillet delivers top organic courses

November is often a time when some farmers and growers can get around to some of the tasks they have put off. With the harvest in, thoughts can turn to other areas.

NOTS — the national organic training skillnets — runs numerous courses throughout the year. Though targeted at the organic producer, these can be done by both organic and conventional farmers. And many of the offerings suit both anyway.

November sees an increased number of courses, including bovine scanning, the business of catering, organic production principles, future growers, cheese making and snail farming.
