There's a new approach to the Soil Health Café Talk program in 2020. Don't worry, it will be the same style of meeting to encourage idea sharing amongst farmers, consultants, Extension, researchers and industry, but it will now reach more locations across North Dakota with more events.
We're making this happen by hosting several of the Café Talks through the Carrington and Langdon Research Extension Centers and the county Extension agents. Below are North Dakota State University folks who will be there for each date/location listed on the schedule. Check for any changes that may inevitably happen because of scheduling or weather on the NDSU soil health webpage (ndsu.edu/soilhealth), Twitter or Instagram (@NDSUsoilhealth).
We look forward to sharing ideas this coming year!
