*Conservation Agriculture is an ecosystem approach to regenerative
sustainable agriculture and land management based on the practical
application of context-specific and locally adapted three interlinked
principles of: (i) Continuous no or minimum mechanical soil disturbance
(no-till seeding/planting and weeding, and minimum soil disturbance with
all other farm operations including harvesting); (ii) permanent
maintenance of soil mulch cover (crop biomass, stubble and cover crops);
and (iii) diversification of cropping system (economically, environmentally
and socially adapted rotations and/or sequences and/or associations
involving annuals and/or perennials, including legumes and cover crops),
along with other complementary good agricultural production and land
management practices. Conservation Agriculture systems are present in all
continents, involving rainfed and irrigated systems including annual
cropland systems, perennial systems, orchards and plantation systems,
agroforestry systems, crop-livestock systems, pasture and rangeland
systems, organic production systems and rice-based systems. Conservation
Tillage, Reduced Tillage and Minimum Tillage are not Conservation
Agriculture, and nor is No-Till on its own* (more at:

[image: I'm an image]
<http://email.no-tillfarmer.com/portal/wts/ugmcnc-%7C7jaq--2efPBavg%5Ev6LvDGr2FqA1tl8a>
*Courting the Two 'Ms' that Make or Break Your Soil's Biological System*
with James Hoorman
*January 7, 2:00 – 5:00 p.m.*
In this special workshop, the former NRCS educator and owner of Hoorman
Soil Health Services will introduce metarhizium fungi and define its role
as a soil health parasite to over 200 insect species and recycler of soil
nitrogen.
Hoorman will also outline the importance of mycorrhizal fungi functions,
report on what mycorrhizae species are present in the soil and which ones
are needed to improve agricultural production, as well as discuss ag
products that are harmful or helpful to establishment of these fungi in
no-till systems.

*How No-Tilling Hemp Could add to Your Operation's Bottom Line*
with Steve Groff
*January 7, 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.*
Legal changes in the most recent Farm Bill approved by Congress created a
burgeoning market in the U.S. for hemp, which can be grown for both fiber
and CBD products.
In this special workshop, no-tiller Steve Groff will share his early
experiences raising 70 acres hemp for the CBD market and provide attendees
with an understanding of what’s required to break into this market and what
mistakes to avoid. He’ll even share how cover crops can be incorporated
with hemp plants to facilitate soil health for optimal growth.
*These can't-miss workshops are each an additional $99 to attend. Seating
is limited so sign up today when you register
