A soil test is more than a report card – it’s an opportunity to look at real data and science to see where you’re hitting your goals and which areas may need improvement. Consider your test results the best tool to teach you how to feed our soil so it feeds your crops in the most economical, efficient, and environmentally friendly way and join us next week to create a road map for your farm’s long-term soil health and productivity.
Join Future Harvest Tuesday, May 26th from 11:00 am – 1:00 pm for a step-by-step walkthrough on soil tests. Future Harvest’s soil scientist Lisa Garfield and farmer and Million Acre Challenge Project Director Amanda Cather will start with the basics before jumping into practical applications.
By the end of this two hour webinar, you’ll learn:
– How to choose a testing lab
– What to pay attention to first: N, P, K, micronutrients, and pH
-About the Million Acre Challenge and how to get involved
-And how to become a citizen scientist in our Soil Health Benchmark Study
We’ll take a look at some local soil test results and help you evaluate your own during the Q & A portion of the event.
