This fall, the USA Regenerative Agricultural Alliance invites you to dig beneath the surface at Soil Health CSI: What is Your Soil Trying to Tell You? This hands-on workshop will explore the clues hidden in our soil and what they can tell us about the health of the land.

Attendees will have the opportunity to take part in hands-on soil testing led by Jessi Linkous of NRCS and Dr. Forbes Walker of the UT Institute of Agriculture. Using soil samples from our Farm Campus, locations across Greene County, and even samples brought by participants, they will demonstrate what to look for when evaluating soil health. The workshop will help participants understand what different soil conditions can reveal, recognize signs that their soil may need attention, and learn how those insights can guide better soil management.

Stan Pace of CaluSolv will also share his experience with soil health and the role calcium can play in improving soil structure. He will discuss how CaluSolv is used to help address soil compaction, improve water infiltration, and create better conditions for healthy soil and plant growth.

Mike McElroy of Timeless Fence System will also be on hand to share his knowledge and offer practical insight into how fencing and grazing management can support better soil health. He will be available to answer questions and discuss ways producers can use their fencing systems to better manage livestock and the land.

Join us Saturday, November 7 from 8:30 AM - 12:30 PM at 203 Wilson Hill Rd, Greeneville, TN (next to the airport). Lunch will follow at 12:30 PM. Registration is $50 and attendance is limited to 50 participants.

Whether you manage a farm, tend a garden, or simply want to better understand the ground beneath your feet, Soil Health CSI offers an opportunity to learn what healthy soil looks like and what your soil may be trying to tell you.
