Fundamentals of Soil Health 
​Learn to improve your soil and water management, implement cover crops and build soil health through four self-paced online soil health courses for farmers and agricultural professionals. These self-paced, online courses are available at no charge, and can be taken stand-alone or in conjunction with the in-field soil health training.
  • Introduction to Soil Health: The online Introduction to Soil Health course provides an overview of the importance of soil health to crop production and dives into the three primary characteristics of soil – physical, chemical and biological. This course also demonstrates easy-to-use field tests to identify current soil conditions and highlights the common practices that a farmer may choose to implement in order to improve soil health.
  • Cover Crops and Soil Health: The Cover Crops and Soil Health course discusses cover crops, the benefits of using cover crops to improve soil health, common barriers to utilizing cover crops and potential alternatives. The course explains proper selection, establishment, management and termination of cover crops in diverse production systems and recommends site specific cover crops conducive with producer goals and farming systems.
  • Soil Water Management: Building on the basics from the Introduction to Soil Health course, Soil Water Management delves deeper into the topics of soil-water and soil moisture management. Learners gain an understanding of soil-water properties related to water quality and quantity, benefits of improving water infiltration and soil moisture holding capacity, common challenges to adoption of practices that improve soil-water balance and how to overcome those challenges. Real-farm examples are used to reinforce course concepts.
  • Soil Health Management Systems: Soil Health Management Systems focuses on the challenge of implementing soil health practices in a farming system. The course guides participants through the process of selecting appropriate soil health management practices to meet farm-specific management requirements and goals. Course materials explore the key agronomic management principles to improve soil health, including: reduced tillage, cover crops, crop rotations and mulching, with an emphasis on understanding the benefits and challenges of implementing various soil health management practices within diverse agricultural production systems.
