SUMMARY:Field Day: Soil Health for Small Farm Organic Regenerative Operations
DESCRIPTION:OFRF is excited to join the S.D. Specialty Producers Association (SDSPA) and Northern Plains Sustainable Ag (NPSAS) for a field day in Vermillion\, S.D to discuss soil health and conservation strategies for transitioning to small scale organic regenerative agriculture. This event includes practical demonstrations\, networking opportunities\, and a free lunch for attendees. \nParticipants will tour Genesis Gardens\, a faith-based urban-agriculture project\, which is part of Pulse of Life Church. This regenerative urban farm is transitioning from conventional to organic production under an NRCS OM-823 interim conservation practice contract. Participants will explore practical steps to build soil health\, reduce inputs\, and meet organic standards in smaller\, community-based production systems. \nSpeakers from Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS)\, BioFlora\, SDSPA\, and NPSAS TOPP Plains will discuss soil health\, conservation practices\, and organic transition strategies. \nPre-registration is required for this free event. \nRegister for Field Day\nThis program is funded under a Conservation Collaboration Cooperative Agreement between the NRCS and SDSPA to promote sustainable agriculture practices and environmental stewardship. Additionally\, this program is supported through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP). TOPP is a program of the USDA Organic Transition Initiative and is administered by the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) National Organic Program (NOP).
