SUMMARY:MPF Webinar- Opening the Black Box: Soil Microbial Complexity- Part 1: Foundations of Soil Microbial Ecology in Prairies (VIRTUAL)
DESCRIPTION:Soil is far more than a growing medium; it is a living system filled with unseen organisms that quietly regulate how ecosystems function. Join Dr. Sam Lord\, soil ecologist and Assistant Research Professor at the University of Missouri Center for Agroforestry\, for a two-part webinar series where we will explore how diverse soil microbes\, most of which are still unknown to science\, interact with plants and their environment to move nutrients\, store carbon\, and help ecosystems remain stable through change. \n\n\n\nBy comparing native prairies with managed agricultural soils and using modern tools that let us see both who is there and what they are doing\, this work opens the “black box” of soil life. Together\, these talks show that soil is not a static backdrop for plants\, but an active\, dynamic frontier where biological interactions belowground shape the health and resilience of landscapes above ground. \n\n\n\nThis free webinar\, to be held via Zoom\, will include a presentation and a live question-and-answer session. The webinar will be recorded\, and a link to the recording will be sent to all registrants and posted to the MPF YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Brew Your Own Fertility: Practical Biofertilizers for Farms and Gardens (VIRTUAL)
DESCRIPTION:Join Gabriella Soto-Velez and Leah Philips of ECHO Global for an in-depth training on making your own biofertilizers to reduce reliance on purchased inputs and shrink the carbon footprint of your fertility program. \n\n\n\nWe will walk through several low-tech\, farm-friendly fermentation methods and “biological brews\,” explain what each one is best used for\, and share simple recipes\, materials lists\, timelines\, and storage tips. You will learn how to choose feedstocks from what you already have on hand\, match biofertilizers to crop stage and soil needs\, and apply them safely and effectively. \n\n\n\nWe will also cover common mistakes\, troubleshooting\, and practical considerations for growers aiming to align with organic systems. Bring your questions! We will leave plenty of time for Q&A.

SUMMARY:Soil Health Master Class Presented by Dr. Liz Haney
DESCRIPTION:This intensive masterclass will provide an in-depth exploration of the revolutionary Haney Soil Health Test\, developed by soil chemist and microbiologist Rick Haney. Unlike traditional soil tests that rely on statistics from labs or single geographic areas\, the Haney Test treats each field as a dynamic\, living system\, examining soil from a holistic and biological perspective rather than the typical physical and chemical approach.What You’ll Learn:– How the Haney Test uses H3A extraction to assess individual field variables– Understanding soil health data collection and interpretation– Real-world applications for improving soil health and farm productivity– Strategies for implementing soil health practices that rebuild rather than deplete soil function– How to read and apply test results to make meaningful improvements on your own farm \n\n\n\nSoil_Health_Masterclass_Press_Release_FINALDownload
