Slake demo from the @NationalFFA Convention tour.
Soils are from field across the road from each other. Both HAD been farmed regeneratively for years. One field was 'lost' when it was rented to another farmer who began heavy tillage without winter cover. It only took 2 years..
Another pic from the field. This was taken 10/15 near Crown Point by @CCSI_IN NW Program Manager Sheila Schroeder.
Wheat is being seeded. Small grains for harvest or #covercrops, it protects and feds the soil all winter.
Some pics taken last week (15 Oct) near the Owen County SWCD office by @CCSI_IN Lead Program Mgr Jessica Hoehn while on site helping to plan their Dec 10th workshop
The field is farmed by SWCD Supervisor Steve Fox. A Cereal Rye #CoverCrop was aerially seeded end of Sept

They’re s at it again! This year @LongLiveTheSoil is helping out in his role w/ @TrustInFoodFJ’s #ACAM program and on 8/17 @bigdogmills will be one of the guest speakers.
Stay tuned for more info!
One of the great things about events like this #ACAM event at @akrueger128’s is the partnership behind the scenes: @PurdueExtension’s sound system, coolers from Gibson Co SWCD, @Nature_Indiana’s Carrie Parmenter helping with set-up, and a host of others who pitch in!
A great display by Randolph SWCD at their County Fair! They borrowed some of our banners as a full-scale backdrop.
Special thanks to @Cargill's Success from the Ground Up grant program for supporting #TheRootProject!
