WaSHI: Making Soils Data Actionable
March 13 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
REGISTER for free: wasoilhealth.org
More soil tests and data are available to farmers than ever. While this can be empowering, it can also be confusing. New information on soil chemistry, biology, and physics can sometimes be difficult to translate into action.
In this webinar series, we highlight projects across Washington that are using soil data to inform real, on-farm management decisions.
WEBINAR 1:
Speaker: Adam Peterson, Senior GIS and Science Specialist, Thurston Conservation District
Come learn how technical service providers can demystify soil test results and translate them into accessible and actionable recommendations for on-farm nutrient management. Using Thurston Conservation District’s soil testing program as an example, Adam will share efficient strategies for interpreting a large volume of tests while accounting for farm scale, fertilizer preferences, and crop-specific needs.
