SDSU Extension is set to host the insightful "Managing Soil: Maximizing Profit" conference this December at the Taopi Community Hall. It's a day-long event starting with morning registration, including lunch, and wrapping up with the Southeast Research Farm's yearly business review.
This conference serves as a platform for crop growers and agricultural professionals to gain knowledge on soil management without a commercial focus. Valuable education credits await certified crop advisors who attend.
A lineup of eminent speakers will share expertise on topics like regenerative farming, pest control strategies, and the latest in plant health.
Among the notable presenters are Anthony Bly, discussing soil conservation; Adam Varenhorst, talking about soybean pest management; Peter Sexton, explaining crop ecosystems; and experts Connie Strunk and Madalyn Shires, delving into plant disease. A special segment by Lee Briese will cover agronomic advice and soil health practices.
An interactive session will highlight real-world applications of crop interseeding, discussing the integration of cover crops into regular farming routines. This open exchange will provide practical insights, particularly the seeding techniques beneficial for soil vitality and farm productivity.
Pre-registration is necessary, with free admission for Southeast Research Farm members and a $25 fee for others. For registration and more information, interested individuals are encouraged to visit the SDSU Extension Events page and look for "soil."
This event promises to be a resourceful gathering for the farming community, paving the way for better crop yields and sustainable agriculture.
