During this session, our guest speaker, Dr. Timothy Bradford, Jr., Director of Strategic Partnerships at Vayda, uncovered soil health’s emerging role in agricultural production and how cover crops can unlock your field’s potential. This session also explored the science behind how regenerative agriculture influences healthy soils while addressing common challenges like compaction, nutrient management, cover cropping, and erosion. We also discovered practical strategies for implementing cover crops and other conservation practices to improve soil structure, increase organic matter, and decrease inputs.
