Farmers Soil Health Field Workshop
Tuesday, May 13, 2025 · 10:00 am– 12:00 pm
2446 Alliance Road, Surry, VA 23883
A Field Demonstration is being held at Winfield Farms in Surry VA for farmers to learn about Healthy Soil, which in its turn means Healthy Plants. During this tour, farmers will learn how to begin the spiral of creating healthy soils in order for plants to better access root nutrients which are essential for plants to: better resist drought, uptake vital nutrients needed for highest growth potential, and to retain topsoil by reducing erosion. Attendees will also learn how healthy soil sustains the future of agriculture and our ability to provide food for the future.
Please take the time to learn how to have the best crops and gardens possible! Register today!
