SUMMARY:NOFA/Mass Physical Soil Health: Our Critical Soil Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:Register Here \nJoin us for this full-day workshop about the physical component of soil health where we’ll explore the essential principles that shape soil structure and vitality. This intensive will mix classroom-based learning with hands-on demonstrations and activities assessing soil structure. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of soil physical properties\, including texture\, structure\, porosity\, and compaction. \nEquipped with tools such as penetrometers\, shovels\, and infiltration rings\, attendees will learn how to assess and evaluate these critical aspects of soil health directly on the farm. We will also explore the synergies between the physical component of soil health and the chemical and biological components. Whether you’re a seasoned agricultural professional or a curious novice\, this workshop offers valuable insights and practical skills to enhance your understanding of soil and optimize farm management practices. \nThroughout the day\, you’ll learn: \n\nSoil compaction mitigation and remediation strategies\nThe importance of soil physical properties for water and gas management\nThe inherent and dynamic properties of soils\nHow to use tools for evaluating soil structure\nThe impact of different forms of soil disturbance on soil physical properties\nThe role of organic matter in soil structure\nHow to use cover crops to improve soil structure
