Basic Soil Fertility for Farmers
Wednesday, March 4, 2026 • 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM
9432 North James Madison Highway Rapidan, VA, 22733
March is the perfect time to learn about soil fertility! In this workshop, we will learn about the 18 essential elements that are necessary for healthy plant growth. Farmers and growers will learn about the macronutrients and the micronutrients and the effect that they have upon the plant you are trying to grow, and how they are utilized in the plants. We will learn about the symptoms a plant exhibits when one of the nutrients is deficient. Farmers will also learn about how the soil can effect the availability to these nutrients, and the effect lime has to improve soil health.
