DATCP, UW-Extension, and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) are collaborating to offer a series of free soil testing and soil health workshops. Attendees will learn:
-how soil biology and cover crops can increase soil fertility and boost yields.
-how to take soil samples, submit a soil test, and understand a soil report.
-how to determine what soil amendments to add to a field based on a soil report.
-how to apply for USDA EQIP funding to receive cost share to buy cover crop seed.
Open to all producers, these workshops are designed for growers who manage small to mid-scale diversified farm operations with a particular focus on supporting beginning and/or underserved farmers. Beginning, historically underserved and veteran farmers will receive a free soil test and a $50 stipend to cover their time and travel costs for attending.
