Training
From administrative assistants to technicians to educators and conservationists, every person who comes in contact with a farmer or landowner is important. Those first moments of contact provide information to set someone on a path toward implementing conservation-minded practices.
Researchers from both Purdue University and Ohio State University show that consistent messages are pivotal to adoption of conservation practices, including soil health.
​
CCSI’s soil health curriculum was developed by Indiana partners to ensure a consistent farmer-proven, science-based training on soil health systems across all partners.
​
The Curriculum is tiered to experience level:
Introductory
Foundational
Core Soil Health Systems
Core Cover Crops
3-Day Soil Health Trainings
Advanced
Advanced Soil Health Systems
Advanced Cover Crops
These advanced trainings are adapted annually based upon farmer input, cropping season issues, or identified staff needs.
