Project Background
Throughout the proposed 2-year establishment phase of this program, we will create 6 regional hubs that will evaluate impacts of conservation practices on soil health within regional contexts, host workshops, demonstrations, and information exchange activities related to soil health, provide opportunities for hands-on learning, one-on-one farmer-to-farmer communication and mentoring, and create an expanded network of regional farm trials that will compare a farmer's normal practices with an alternative soil health mgmt practice.
