The program, “A History of Ozark Soils and the Conversion to Farmland: Lessons That Help Us in Today’s Forage Production,” takes a deep look at how Ozark landscapes functioned prior to settlement, how land conversion altered soil-building processes, and how today’s soil test data can guide better forage and fertility decisions.
Through historical photographs, ecological research, and more than ten years of regional soil test data, participants learn strategies they can use to improve both forage yield and sustainability.
