SUMMARY:NY Soil Health & Climate Resiliency Field Day: Conversion of Cropland to Pasture & Soil Health
DESCRIPTION:As part of the 2025 New York Soil Health and Climate Resiliency Field Days\, American Farmland Trust will host a Western New York Soil Health Field Day on July 16 at Zeliff Farm in Middleport\, NY. The event runs from 9:00 AM to 3:15 PM and will feature sessions on pasture conversion\, soil health benchmarking\, biochar in grazing systems\, and best grazing practices. Attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in hands-on demonstrations featuring the New York Soil Health Trailer\, drone technology\, and cover crop strategies. \nDuring the field day\, we will share practical\, field-tested results of advanced soil regenerative practices targeted to livestock\, field and specialty crop farmers. Participants can expect to learn about: \n\nPastureland conversion in New York\nPasture soil Health benchmarking\nInsights on using biochar in grazing systems\nBest grazing practices in New York\n\nAdditionally\, there will be interactive stations with the New York Soil Health Trailer\, WNY Aerial Ag Drone Demo and a Cover Crop Demonstration. \nThere is no cost to attend\, and lunch will be provided. CCA Continuing Education Credits will be available. If more than one person from your farm or agency is considering attending\, please register each individual. \nZeliff Farm\, a regenerative beef operation\, is an AFT partner site supporting farmer outreach and education through learning circles and on-farm soil health research.

SUMMARY:NY Soil Health Field Day: Biochar\, Compost and Building Climate Resiliency
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by CCE Suffolk Agricultural Stewardship Program and CCE Suffolk Vegetable/Potato Program in coordination with Cornell Small Farms and NY Soil Health This soil health field day will include discussions and demonstrations of research on various soil amendments including biochar and compost in nursery\, vegetable\, and vineyard production systems. We will discuss how these soil amendments can improve soil properties and build climate resiliency on farms. Summer cover crops will also be discussed. \n\nA dialogue group will be hosted the following day\, attendees at the field day are invited to participate in a dialogue group from 6:15 pm -7:30 pm at LIHREC following the Soil Health Field Day. We will be providing stipends of $40 per participant\, and responses will remain confidential. Refreshments served! \nThe Rich Earth Institute\, based in Brattleboro\, Vermont\, in partnership with Cornell University and Cornell Cooperative Extension\, are interested in better understanding the perspectives of a range of farmers\, agricultural advisors and other land managers about the use of novel soil amendments – including human urine\, biochar made from biosolids\, and biochar made from other biomass such as wood pellets. \nPlease contact Rich Earth Social Research Director\, Tatiana Schreiber at tatiana@richearthinstitute.org (802) 387-2781 or Cornell PI Deborah Aller\, at da352@cornell.edu
