MN Soil Health Coalition

Waseca Soil Health Tour
2021-04-01 - 2021-06-01 | Waseca County
Beginning April 1, 2021 running
until approximately June 1, 2021
​ We have put together several locations where the landowners have graciously allowed access to their fields for soil health education. These are the same locations as last fall. Check out the soil differences after spring planting and throughout the early growing season. Pick a day that fits your schedule and when the weather suits you. Tour will remain open until crop canopy stage. This may differ per location. Visit one or visit all. An informational page will be provided at each location. Look for these signs.
You can expect to see sweet corn, pea, soybean, and corn fields; a variety of cover crop mixes; and a variety of conservation tillage practices.
​
Things to consider bringing with you:
Camera
Shovel/trowel to examine soil structure and rooting
Tape Measure
Cover Crop ID Book
Thermometer
