A forward-looking webinar series is set to tackle one of agriculture’s most precious resources: soil. By combining insights from both industry and academia, organizers aim to help farmers, gardeners, and others pursue healthier, more sustainable land management.

A $569,993 state grant is fueling a vital project at a Minden beef farm, aiming to bolster soil health and protect local water quality. The initiative, backed by the Montgomery County Soil and Water Conservation District, sets out to safeguard the Mohawk River watershed and improve agricultural sustainability.

This fall, a special workshop at the Bedford Garden Park Community Garden will guide attendees through crucial soil health tips and gardening tasks. Participants will learn how to take soil samples and prepare their beds for a thriving season ahead.
