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.”
