Sep 13, 2011

(Wines & Vines)- California farms and vineyards have been planting and maintaining more hedgerows in recent years as a result of increased interest in sustainable farming operations; available expertise and financial assistance from conservation agencies, and better knowledge about hedgerow uses and benefits. A workshop Sept. 8 in Yolo County focused on insectary hedgerows for pollinators and beneficial insects. The 80 attendees, representing a wide range of farming operations and products, learned that hedgerows provide multiple agricultural and environmental benefits.
