Coalition plans additional Soil Health School
Since 2016, the South Dakota Soil Health Coalition has held an annual Soil Health School to offer an intensive educational experience that combines classroom instruction with hands-on field exercises.
However, those schools have been held east of the Missouri River, and producers west of the river face a different set of agricultural challenges due to the drier climate and the predominance of livestock operations.
To help address issues important to West River producers, this year the coalition is holding an additional school. The West River Soil Health School will be held June 26 to 27 at Shawn and Kristy Freeland’s Dry Creek Farm and Ranch near Caputa, South Dakota.
