Thank you to all the speakers, partner organizations, host farms, and more than 570 individuals who participated in and made our 2022 Soil Health & Climate Resiliency Field Day series possible! The New York Soil Health Team traveled to all corners of the state to engage with farmers, educators, technical service providers, researchers, industry professionals, and others.

We had numerous presentations, farmer panels, and demonstrations across a wide range of environments and cropping systems, including urban agriculture, field crops, dairy, vegetables, orchards, and organic systems. Cover crops, reduced & no-till, microbial amendments, biochar, precision agriculture, weed management, and planting green were just some of the many topics discussed.

While we received many positive comments and suggestions for future field day topics, please contact us with any further thoughts.
