Farmers Take Advantage of Soil Health Programs to Increase Productivity and Profitability of Crops

Thu, 19 Jan 2017 18:06:07 CST

Farmers Take Advantage of Soil Health Programs to Increase Productivity and Profitability of Crops Today, the USDA Southern Plains Climate Hub, in cooperation with Redlands Community College and the Oklahoma Association of Conservation Districts, hosted their fifth seminar in the Central Oklahoma Soil Health series, at Redland's Darlington Chapel just outside of El Reno. This educational series was designed to expose interested producers to conservation practices that can be implemented on their operations to help increase the overall productivity and profitability on their land. Radio Oklahoma Ag Network Associate Farm Director Carson Horn was on the scene and spoke with the event's organizer, Clay Pope, who works as a conservation consultant, about the day's program.


"We're talking a little more today about tools and technology that are available to producers that are looking into these strategies," Pope said, citing several of the presenters in attendance slated to speak on some of the latest innovations and research being done today on soil health. "We're just trying to get more information to folks that are trying to do some things to help their bottom line and also harden the farming and ranching operations to droughts and floods and other extreme weather events."


One of the main focuses on the day's agenda, were guest speakers there to discuss the many financial programs offered by the government that producers can take advantage of to help them improve their lands and secure their streams of income.


"If we can help folks like that - help their bottom line while at the same time help the environment, too," Pope said, "I think it's win-win for everybody."
