The event offers a day of in- formational sessions and demonstrations from preci- sion ag experts. "Today's technology is al- lowing farmers and ranch- ers to farm more efficient- ly by saving them valuable time and inputs while reduc- ing potential negative im- pacts to the environment. The 2014 Soil Health Expo will increase their knowl- edge in several different farming aspects, includ- ing the growing interest of using drones for scouting fields. Technology tools, such as drones, may save a farmer thousands of dollars by locating a problem that they didn't realize existed in their fields. It's nearly im- possible to solve a problem if you don't know that one ex- ists," said Travis Gogle, the Gibson-Pike County NRCS District Conservationist. Among the featured speakers is Dr. Randal Reed- er, of Ohio State University. Dr. Reeder is considered one of the leading research and education advocates for conservation tillage and no- till. Other speakers include CCSI farmer Mike Shuter, a past president of the Indi- ana Corn Marketing Coun- cil with 30 years of no-till experience, and Paul Gor- don, an agricultural and environmental consultant and founder of Gordon Ag Group. The day's presentations will include: • Variable Rate Nutrient Applications With High- Clearance Sprayer Modifi- cations • Development and Use of Management Zones in Soil Health Systems • Use of Precision Ag Tools for On-Farm Trials • Using Technology to Avoid Soil Compaction • Drone Use in Field Scouting "I started work with pre- cision ag a decade ago and I can tell you that the line- up for this workshop reflects the advancements of those technologies. The real beau- ty is the fact that precision ag can readily be adapted to help improve soil health - no matter what your farm size or comfort with tech- nology," said Lisa Holscher of CCSI. The cost to attend the 2014 Soil Health Expo is $10. CCA Credits have been requested. PARP cred- its are also available. Pri- vate applicators interest- ed in PARP recertification should bring an additional $10 and their applicator card the day of the event. Numerous agricultur- al vendors will be in atten- dance too - many specializ- ing in precision ag equip- ment. NTM Ag Equipment, Precision Farming Solu- tions, Vincennes Tractor, Kotter & Smith, Inc., Day- light Farm Supply, Beck's, Cisco Seed and many more will be on hand with various demonstrations and repre- sentatives to help you de- cide the best course for your farming operation to adapt to precision agriculture. Registration is required by July 31 and may be com- pleted online or by calling the Pike County Soil & Wa- ter Conservation District at 812-354-6120 ex.3. Late reg- istrations and walk-ins will be taken too. The field day is present- ed as a project of the Con- servation Cropping Sys- tems Initiative.
