Soil Quality Network 2012 is the first of two workshops planned for agricultural professionals and land managers. Workshop participants will gain an appreciation for the role soil quality plays in crop productivity and the viability of agriculture operations. The workshop will help agriculture consultants and planners develop strategies and actions to support farmers interested in improving soil quality.
On day one, participants will attend a general session plus farm tours and special presentations. Day two includes concurrent sessions where attendees will discover current research, hands-on methods, and state of the art techniques to assess soil quality. Breakout sessions will engage attendees through interactive discussions with researchers, technical specialists and educators, demonstrations of soil assessment methods and experiences with various outreach techniques.
The workshop will include a half-day tour to farm fields where soil management techniques will be viewed and discussed.
