The economics of soil health systems is regularly identified as information critical to farmers and those who work with farmers. You have a chance to attend special training designed not only to explore annual returns on investments in soil health practices, but also to uncover the longer-term ramifications on economic resiliency and potential economic opportunities.
Circle Nov. 30 on your calendar, and set aside 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. EST to attend this one-of-a-kind meeting looking at the dollars and cents of conservation farming. It will be held at the Hendricks County Fairgrounds in Danville, Ind. Sponsored by the Conservation Cropping Systems Initiative, the meeting is geared toward bankers, farm managers, financial planners and farmers who want to look at the true bottom line of conservation farming.
