Soil Health Week: ISAP’s Introduction to Soil Health Practices Guidebook

The Illinois Sustainable Ag Partnership’s recent publication, “An Introduction to Soil Health Practices,” clearly communicates the role of soil health practices in addressing agronomic challenges and resource concerns. Join co-authors Torey Colburn, Conservation Agronomist with American Farmland Trust, and Frank Rademacher, Conservation Agronomist with The Nature Conservancy and Champaign County Farmer, as they provide an overview of the practical agronomic information included in the guidebook, including how practices like cover crops and no-till, when managed correctly, can build soil health in the field, suppress weed pressure, and limit nutrient loss. Frank and Torey will also be joined by three farmers whose stories are shared in the guidebook as real-world examples of how farmers are finding success with these practices.
