| MSU workshop trains on hydroponic farming | |
 | According to an MSU press release, a limited number of people with an interest in hydroponic farming are invited to a free workshop Oct. 13 hosted by Mississippi State University. Registration will be open to the public July 31, with just seven spots available for the workshop, although those added to a waiting list may have an opportunity to join the workshop. There is no charge to attend, and participants will receive lunch and take home fresh, live hydroponic harvests of leafy greens and microgreens. Qianwen "Megan" Zhang, MSU Extension horticulturist and Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station researcher, said the workshop is designed for those professionals who support hydroponic farmers and those in the business or seeking to get into hydroponic farming. The Truck Crops Branch Experiment Station, part of the Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station, is located at 2024 Experiment Station Road in Crystal Springs. The event is sponsored by MSU Extension and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture through the Southern Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education program. |
