Soil Scientist Christine Jones will spend a good deal of time explaining how we can build new top soil. She’ll explain the amazing power of diversity. She’ll also talk about how Pasture Cropping can benefit the soil and producer. Pasture Cropping is seeding annual crops into former cropland seeded to grasses. This includes CRP, Soil Bank, or go back lands.
