National Strip-Tillage Conference Special Offer
It’s been said, “You can’t manage what you can’t measure.” For strip-tillers, getting an accurate read on soil health is key to prescribing the right remedy for nutrient-deficient areas. Dr. Kristen Veum, research soil scientist with the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) in Columbia, Mo., has studied assessment of soil quality in agro-ecosystems, development and refinement of soil quality indicators and application of sensor technology for soil quality assessment.
On a national level, she is collaborating with the new Soil Health Institute, the NRCS Soil Health Division and other ARS scientists on measurements and standards for a nationwide soil health assessment.
Veum shares ongoing research and initiatives to include ways to enhance soil microbiology and a forecast on future opportunities and obstacles to increasing soil health in conservation tillage systems.
The 2017 National Strip-Tillage Conference Video Replay is brought to you by Ingersoll Tillage Group.
