Making Soils Data Actionable Webinar Series
2024-04-03 12:00 - 13:00 | Zoom
More soil tests and data are available to farmers than ever. While this can be empowering, it can also be confusing. New information on soil chemistry, biology, and physics can sometimes be difficult to translate into action. In this webinar series, we highlight projects across Washington that are using soil data to inform real, on-farm management decisions.
If you’ve been hit with soil data overload, this 4 part series is for you. Farmers, agricultural advisors, extension staff, and decision makers are welcome. Come hear about how to take action on soil data, learn about available resources, and meet other Washington soil enthusiasts.
Soil Health Report Generator (Webinar #4) – Jadey Ryan, Data Scientist, Washington State Department of Agriculture
Join our webinar for a demo of the {soils} R package, designed for comprehensive soil health data visualization and reporting. See how we use R and Quarto to create customized, interactive reports to empower each participant in the State of the Soils Assessment to explore and understand their soil data. {soils} will be released to the public in March!
