The registration for IBI 2023 Biochar Field Days on agricultural uses of biochar is now open!

Interest in biochar continues to grow among the agriculture community but many questions remain. In collaboration with NY Soil Health and Cornell University, we are excited to organize these field days that will provide guidelines for using biochar in agriculture and share practical insights for farmers when it comes to applying biochar to crops.

 

This session will be held on June 22 – 23, 2023, and participants will hear from representatives from the USDA, American Farmland Trust, Cornell University, local farmers and other biochar experts!

 

Spots are limited so we encourage you to register ASAP.

 

Cost to attend:

    • $300 for Non New York State (NYS) residents
    • $125 for NYS residents and $50 for NYS students

 

Key topics that will be covered include:

 

  • Biochar and guidelines for agricultural applications.
  • National biochar and climate initiatives.
  • CPS 336 and WSS dynamic soil properties response to biochar tool.
  • Biochar application for manure management and uses in horticultural mixes.
  • Biochar Atlas Decision Support Tool to learn about different biochars for different applications.

 

Additionally, this 2-day session will provide a biochar production demo and a visit to Cornell University along with other biochar projects in the region. A reception will be held on June 22 to provide an opportunity to all attendees to get to know each other and build their network
