Western Colorado Soil Health

Health Begins in the Soil

Soil health is critical to the future of agricultural production on the Western Slope of Colorado. With a contingent of concerned farmers as well as community groups and government officials the Western Slope has been able to take soil health education and implement techniques and specifically adjust them for the local area. As pressure on agricultural production increase, soil health practices can insure that the Western Slopes agricultural needs are met with sustainable production, quality and economic viability.

The 2017 Western Slope Soil Health Conference is the premier education event which is designed for the unique challenges that our region includes and provides a range of topics from the basics to advanced applications.
