The soil is your farm’s most precious natural resource. Soil testing is the first step to unlocking your soil’s full potential. Tammy Holler, Nutrient Management Specialist with the Small Farm Outreach Program, will discuss the importance of having soil testing done to determine the necessary amendments needed for a successful growing season. She will discuss reading and understanding the test results and what steps are needed in order to improve your soil and have a productive yield.

Space is limited to 20 participants.
