Soil Health Experts Gather in Mankato

The  Premier Soil Health Event will be Tuesday and Wednesday in Mankato. “We have a great lineup of soil health educators, both national and regional and local, and that gives farmers an option to pick the topics they’re interested in,” said Mark Gutierrez, executive director, Minnesota Soil Health Coalition. A prestigious award will be announced for the first time in Minnesota. “The Leopold Award focuses on landowners and farmers who demonstrate outstanding conservation practices. The winner is selected by a panel of farmers and ag professionals.” The Leopold Conservation Award is named after renowned conservationist Aldo Leopold.
