Certified Crop Adviser Program to Offer Soil Health Seminar

The Certified Crop Adviser program will offer a seminar on soil health Tuesday, March 8, 2016, from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. ET.

Dr. Jerry Hatfield will present on “Why is Soil Health Important?” Hatfield is the Laboratory Director and Supervisory Plant Physiologist at the National Laboratory for Agriculture and the Environment.

Soils with high quality are a reservoir of water and nutrients for optimum plant growth and larger yields. Poor quality soils do not support optimum plant growth and are especially vulnerable to weather variations throughout the growing season.  Improving our soil health improves the efficiency of water and nutrient use, resulting in enhanced profitability.  It begins with a soil microclimate that fosters and maintains soil biology.  Seminar attendees will learn how improved soil health expands agricultural production.

The course may be watched live or streamed online within 30 days of the seminar date.

Cost is $25 for members/certified professionals and $40 for non-members. Media may qualify for a waived registration by emailing [email protected].
