Soil Health Field Day: Water Dynamics and Reducing Tillage

August 6, 5:30 – 7:30 p.m., Dooryard Farm in Camden

The community is invited to join Matt Boucher, State Soil Scientist with the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation, and Forestry, and Knox-Lincoln SWCD for the second of three Soil Health Field Days featuring the theme Water Dynamics and Reducing Tillage.

The Soil Health Field Day Series features hands-on soil health training to support farmers in implementing best practices. Workshops will cover not only how soil health practices improve soils from a scientific perspective, but also how to approach building these practices into general farming plans. Matt will discuss different strategies for implementing practices and host farmers will share their experiences establishing and maintaining soil health practices as part of their operation.

Thanks to support from Real Maine, this program is offered free of charge. Registration is required and a family-style meal will be provided.
