The short course will consist of two classes, each one having different topics, so an individual should come to both classes to benefit from all the topics discussed. It will be held at the Granville County Extension Center, 208 Wall Street, in Oxford, on Thursday, October 23 and Thursday, October 30 from 7-9 P.M. The topics planned for the two classes are as follows: Growing Specialty Crops on a Small Scale Getting Started in Vegetable Production Know Your Costs of Production to Realize a Profit Growing the Cool Season Vegetables Growing the Warm Season Vegetables Vegetable Insect and Disease Identification and Control Growing Strawberries, Blackberries, Blueberries, and Grapes Marketing Options for Fruit and Vegetable Growers The time spent on each topic will vary, depending on the interest of the class; however, all the topics will be covered by the end of the second class. There will be a $10.00 fee to cover the cost of a notebook that will be filled with the materials used in the class. A couple may register for $10.00 and will receive one notebook. It is recommended that you pre-register so that we will know how many notebooks to make. Make your check payable to Granville County and mail to: Granville County Extension, P.O. Box 926, Oxford, NC 27565. You can also pre-register over the phone by calling 919-603-1350 and pay at the door if you wish.
