As the farm economy becomes tighter and the environmental pressure greater on farmers, understanding your soil fertility and nutrient needs becomes ever so important. The Darke Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) will again be hosting the Soil Fertility & Nutrient Management Workshop Series beginning in November. This is a four-part workshop that begins with the basics and ends with a farm plan for up to 50 acres on your farm. For a mere $20.00, you can register, but space is limited. Register early to guarantee your spot in this workshop geared toward helping farmers better understand soil needs and efficient nutrient use. The Darke SWCD along with its partners at Shelby SWCD, OSU Extension, Otte Ag LLC, Second National Bank, and Wright State-Lake Campus are excited to announce another round of this workshop series.
SPACE IS LIMITED. Call 937.548.1752 or email jared.coppess@darkeswcd.com to reserve your spot today!
