About this event
This year’s tour features guest speaker Rick Strait, New Mexico State Soil Scientist. Using dye tests at each of the soil pits on the tour, Rick will demonstrate water infiltration variations in soils ranging from conventional tillage, mixed-till, no-till, and rangeland pastures. We will also identify layers in the soil, hardpan, cover crop roots, and more to demonstrate the benefits of healthy soil principles.
The tour bus will depart from the Montrose County Fairgrounds parking lot located on the backside of Friendship Hall (north of the goat barns) at 9:00am. Please arrive by 8:45am so the bus can leave on time.
This free event is part of the Colorado Department of Agriculture’s STAR+ Program. The Colorado STAR and STAR Plus (Saving Tomorrow’s Agricultural Resources) Programs make up the Colorado Soil Health Program.
This regional soil health event is organized with support from the Western Colorado Soil Health Team and the Colorado State Conservation Board’s Matching Grants Program. CSCB provides matching state funds to conservation districts for implementing private lands on-the-ground conservation projects and educational conservation activities.
