US (CT): Growers Supply to host controlled environment workshop

Growers Supply, a division of FarmTek, will host a three-day workshop discussing techniques in controlled environment agriculture (CEA). The CEA School will be held from October 22 to October 24, 2014 from 9 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at FarmTek’s Technology Center East in South Windsor, Conn., and will teach attendees how to maximize business and production potential by utilizing proven CEA techniques.

Discover new tips and secrets from industry professionals on how to grow beautiful, profitable vegetables with hydroponic systems, provide livestock with a nutritious, cost-effective feed with fodder systems, use an aquaponic system to produce marketable fish and lush plants and much more. Attendees will have the opportunity to network with others in the agricultural community and gain hands-on experience with FarmTek’s comprehensive grow and fodder production rooms.

“This class was great! I got much more information out of FarmTek’s CEA School than I expected. The wealth of information and helpfulness of everyone was amazing. The personal stories are also a great asset to someone starting a new system,” said Bill S., a previous CEA School attendee.
