Save the date for Pope SWCD's annual Rosholt Field Day on August 12th from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Rosholt Research Farm in Westport, MN!
We are excited for this year’s line up of speakers including topics on soil health, nitrogen best management practices, irrigation, tillage, cover crops, soil sensor technologies and installation, and weather station network. New this year we will have a local farmer panel featuring producers implementing soil health practices. They will share what they are doing and how it works for them. This event features irrigation in addition to the other topics but all types of farms will gain valuable information that can apply to your farm.
Featured speakers include: Vasudha Sharma (University of Minnesota Extension), Fabian Fernandez (University of Minnesota), Stephan Bischof (Minnesota Department of Agriculture, Jeppe Kjaersjaard (Minnesota Department of Agriculture),
Mitchell Janson (East Otter Tail Soil and Water Conservation District and Wadena Soil & Water Conservation District), and local growers on the producer panel with Anna Cates (Minnesota Office for Soil Health and University of Minnesota Extension).
