The North Central Region Soil Health Nexus is a multistate Extension-led team dedicated to increasing access to research-based soil health knowledge, extension and resources.
The team was created in 2015 and is structured around research, extension and outreach, and resources and communications with representatives from across the North Central Region. Join our mailing list to stay up to date on regional soil health trainings, webinars, and new soil health resources.
Digital Café Series
Applying Soil Health Management to Reduce Weather Risks
Wednesday, March 18th at 2pm CT
Join us and find out what happens underground when heavy rain hits your field – and why some soils bounce back while others don’t. Bailey Tangen, from the University of Minnesota, will discuss results from a study that tracked dynamic soil properties impacted by rainstorms on Minnesota farms to uncover the hidden structural differences that determine how management systems actually perform when it matters most.
Upcoming Events
Each year the Soil Health Nexus partners to host a multistate workshop for ag educators.
In 2025 the Soil Health Nexus joined Iowa State Outreach and Extension and educators from across the region for the Soil Health and Livestock: Above and Below Ground Benefits of Livestock on the Land Workshop on October 22nd and 23rd in Ames, Iowa.
