Join NRCS Soil Health Specialist Marlon Winger and Barry Fisher for an insightful webinar on how to design and apply practical, effective soil health management systems. Drawing from decades of agronomic experience across the Intermountain West, Winger outlines core soil health principles and explores how conservation practices can be strategically combined to enhance long-term soil function and productivity. Participants will learn to recognize the synergistic effects of integrating multiple practices, explore barriers to adoption, and examine real-world case studies featuring entry-level strategies, precision techniques, and innovations like no-till and cover cropping. With a mix of technical insight, storytelling, and field-based examples, this session offers both inspiration and actionable knowledge for ag professionals, educators, and producers working toward resilient, regenerative farming systems.
Healthy soils are the foundation of resilient, productive farms—and creating lasting change takes more than just adopting a single practice. In this dynamic and practical webinar, NRCS Soil Health Specialist Marlon Winger and, NRCS USDA Retired employee, Barry Fisher walk participants through the essential steps for strategizing and implementing a comprehensive soil health management system. With decades of on-the-ground experience across Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and Utah, Winger shares both the science and stories behind successful approaches to improving soil function. Attendees will learn how to combine conservation practices like no-till, strip-till, cover cropping, precision nutrient management, and livestock integration into synergistic systems that mimic natural processes. Through real-world examples, field photos, and lessons learned from years of working with producers, Winger highlights entry-level strategies, common challenges, and key principles that lead to long-term success. Whether you're a farmer, conservation planner, educator, or ag professional, this webinar will give you tangible tools and new perspectives to help you support healthy, thriving soils—and move from theory to implementation.
