Happy Wednesday everyone! While we’re always about soil here at Acres U.S.A., today is a particularly soil-centric day because it is the first day of the 3rd annual Healthy Soil Summit!
While we’d love it if you joined us – we also want to point out that we have many other ways to learn about soil. So take a look at this list and pick the option that works best for you. Because learning about soil is a win for everyone!
1 – Join our virtual Healthy Soil Summit event
If you’re a farmer or grower looking to create a real ROI for your soil health management system, then the Healthy Soil Summit is the place you need to be! Learn how balancing the chemistry, biology and physical properties of your soil can drive long-term ecological and economic success for your operation.
Our instructors are real farmers who practice what they teach, including detailed tactics to build soil resilience, increase water storage capacity and decrease costly inputs and programs.
The event is starting today, Aug. 25th, and runs through tomorrow, Aug. 26th. Luckily, you can join at any time! Sign up here and join the event when you can! Plus – all attendees will have access to the recording, whether or not they attend the event itself. So even if you can’t make it for the live Q&As, it will still be worth your while to register! Go ahead and sign up here.
