Join this webinar to learn about challenges and opportunities in implementing tillage and residue management practices on organic farms.
Decreasing tillage and maximizing plant residue are important practices to improve soil health and reduce erosion. In many organic farming systems these practices can be challenging to implement due to the use of tillage for weed control. Several Iowa organic producers will be interviewed about their management practices to maximize soil health and reduce erosion. Join this webinar for a discussion of these challenges and opportunities in the context of organic farms in Central states. This three-part series features different regions.
In the Understanding Organic Agriculture series, this webinar is presented by USDA NRCS Science and Technology.
