Ask Us Anything: Preparing Your Soil Health for 2027

Summer harvest is in full swing, but the decisions you make now can have a major impact on your soil next season and beyond. Join us for an informal Ask Us Anything panel focused on preparing your fields for strong soil health in 2027. 

Bring your questions about:

• Cover cropping
• Mulching
• Soil amendments
• Tarping
• Bed preparation
• Other fall soil management decisions

This panel of soil health experts are here to help you think things through from both a practical and research perspective. This is a farmer-driven conversation. There will be no presentations or prepared remarks. Moderators will help get the discussion started, but participant questions will be the priority.Join for the full session or drop in to ask a question and head back to the farm.
