SUMMARY:Digging into Soil Health: The Role of Soil Microbes
DESCRIPTION:Looking to maximize the health of your soil? Are you interested in leveraging soil microbes to improve soil health and yield? It’s no secret that soil health is important. Healthy soils can affect a number of results from crop yield\, to disease suppression\, nutrient availability\, and more. This webinar will discuss:\n\nBest practices for building soil health\nThe role of soil microbes in soil health\, crop performance\, and nutrient efficiency\nHow soil health can lead to improved profit per acre for the farm\nInsights and data from university studies and Holganix studies on incorporating soil health practices\n\nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Standard Measurements of Soil Health
DESCRIPTION:Measuring and assessing soil health are critical for understanding how changes in agronomic management practices affect the capability of soil to support cropping systems. In this presentation\, the Soil Health Institute will highlight how the Institute is using data from the North American Project to Evaluate Soil Health Measurements to develop a standard set of measurements for both monitoring and evaluating soil health. The Institute has collected over 30 measurements across 124 long-term agricultural research plots resulting in the analysis of over 2\,000 soil samples. This presentation will focus on how the Institute is classifying soil functioning\, associating specific soil functions with soil health measurements\, and using this new data set to inform measurement selection. \nLearn more here.

SUMMARY:Lessons Learned from Indiana Conservation Cropping Systems On-Farm Soil Health Research/Demonstration Sites
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will discuss the lessons learned by the Indiana Conservation Cropping Systems Initiative (CCSI) in a statewide program to establish soil health demonstration plots on farmers’ fields. In 2012 the CCSI started establishing on-farm trials to test different soil health practices and to use commercial soil health tests to document changes in soil health with time. The farmer cooperators were also a key part of the education/outreach team for field days\, workshops\, and small group interactions with other farmers not yet using soil health practices. This webinar will discuss some of the challenges of this project and some recommendations for future projects with similar goals. \nLearn more here.

SUMMARY:Soil Health Management Summit
DESCRIPTION:The Soil Management Summit planning committee wants to ensure the health and wellbeing of our participants\, vendors\, and everyone else involved in the summit’s production while maintaining the high standard of programmatic content the event has provided over the years. As the COVID-19 situation has evolved\, we have made the difficult decision that this event will be offered online only. \nThis summit (formerly Conservation Tillage Conference) emphasizes proven farmer experience and applied science. Straight from the fields\, learn how heavier\, colder soils aren’t necessarily the challenge they’re made out to be. Hear from long-time no-till\, reduced tillage\, and cover crop farmers as they share their experiences\, so you can be spared the same hard-learned lessons. \nThe Summit features presentations and Q&A with researchers\, farmers and agricultural advisors\,  information from sponsors\, and conversations with farmers experienced in different soil health practices. \nAttendees who attend the entire conference will be offered CCA continuing education units (CEUs). \nLearn more here.

SUMMARY:Just-in-Time Soil Health
DESCRIPTION:There is a lot of focus on soil organic matter levels\, but what if the flow of carbon through the soil is just as important for soil health? What if this flow is more important? Building and maintaining soil organic matter levels can be a long\, slow process. Similarly\, maintaining large warehouse inventory is expensive. In manufacturing\, a cost-cutting concept called just-in-time production allows smaller inventory levels and has been widely adopted. Could the same concept be applied to soil management for just-in-time soil health? \nRegister here.
