Check the SFI website for places I will be talking in the near future.

I give a seminar at ACRES meeting in December, each year. Great conference,
lots of new ideas, elucidations of old ones too. www.ACRES.org if I recall
correctly

Usually once a year I give a class for/with New Era Farm Services. They are
in Fresno if I recall correctly. Doug Graham is the contact (DpityDog_at_aol.com)

I have spoken to the Central Coast Wine Grape growers in the past, and would
love to speak to them again. See if you can't encourage them to invite me
again.

I often talk at Bioneers, but I don't think I'm going this year, I think I'll
be in Australia.

I would love to give another talk at EcoFarm, but they have to invite me, and
oh yeah, pay me for my time. Dang, I have to make money in order to keep
doing what I'm doing, so I can't give talks for free anymore.

We give talks two or three times a year at SFI, and try to keep the cost down
for people. We did a compost followed by a compost tea class a couple weeks
ago, but that didn't work too well. I think I'll give compost OR compost tea
classes from now on, since everyone wants to know about tea.

Of course the full fledged course is a three day thing, where we get into the
chemistry of soil, as well as the biology of soil. And we talk compost and
tea, because you have to get the critters back into soil in order to stop with
the chemicals.
