Come join us for a Winter Get-Away in beautiful Fort Worth, Texas, January 13th & 14th, 2015. Green Cover Seed will be hosting the Southern Soil Health Conference, an Educational Opportunity for Producers and Land Owners, at the newly renovated Best Western Plus. The Southern Soil Health Conference is sponsored in part by the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation, Texas Grazing Land Conservation Initiative, No-Till on the Plains, Dixon Water Foundation, and Sand County Foundation. This conference will be very unique for three main reasons:
1. This conference will focus solely on the Five Keys to Soil Health:
(1) Keep the Soil Covered
(2) Minimize Soil Disturbance
(3) Crop Diversity
(4) Living Roots in Soil at all times
(5) Integration of Livestock with the Land
2. This conference is for producers and land owners, 75% of the registration slots will be reserved for people directly involved with the land - production agriculture (crops and/or livestock) and land owners. This conference will also be producer driven with almost all the speakers and presenters being farmers. Keynote speakers will include; Gabe Brown, Scott Ravenkamp, Robin and Kelly Griffeth, and Paul Jasa.
In addition, we will have 8-10 Texas and Oklahoma producers sharing about their individual experiences with Soil Health and how it has affected their farming operations. Some of these speakers are Todd Kimbrell, Terry McAllister, Jonathan Cobb, Lisa Bellows and more...
3. This conference is about knowledge and learning and not selling products. We will not be having a commercial trade show to promote individual companies or products.
