What is Your Soil Wearing?

They have also implemented over 50 acres of conservation practices including water ways, filter strips and quail buffers. Frank Gibbs, owner of Wetland and Soil Consulting Services and former NRCS Soil Scientist will talk about soil structure and health. Hosts Tom and Nancy Smith have a small plot where attendees will be able to see different mixes of cover crops. Todd Dallas, Dallas Ag, will talk about soil testing methods and share results from the farm.
