Premier Soil Health School Focuses on Building Soil Health

Harnessing the power of life in your soil to drive production

The Premier Soil Health School will provide a valuable opportunity for farmers who want to strengthen the health of their soils and the resilience of their farms on July 29 and 30.

The school offers a unique chance to learn from leading experts in soil science, regenerative farming, and practical agriculture techniques. Participants will gain in-depth knowledge about soil testing, nutrient cycling, biomimicry, and even emerging fields like epigenetics (changing gene expression without altering DNS sequence).

These topics will help farmers understand how to manage their land better and improve soil productivity for long-term success. The program features hands-on sessions, making it more interactive and beneficial for all attendees.

Farmers and agronomists will also learn about new living biological input technology such as green microalgae, Chlorella vulgaris , Latin for “common green” which improves soil function, promotes plant health, boosts yield potential, and helps produce more nutrient-dense food.

“Algae has been around since life began on this planet, but we’re talking about it in a new way,” said Tucker Garrigan, director of sales and partner development for Enlightened Soil Corp, which is teaming up with ProfitProAG to distribute EnSoil Algae™. “It’s all about harnessing the power of life in your soil to drive production.”

The school also serves as a platform for networking with like-minded farmers and industry leaders. Attendees will have opportunities to connect with experienced mentors and share insights on sustainable farming practices. This blend of knowledge-sharing and real-world application helps build a strong farming community focused on soil health.

Crop management consultants like Dennis Klockenga of PropfitProAG will be on hand to discuss how biologicals like EnSoil Algae™ area key part of customizing strategies. “Creating a recipe for success is about tailoring to a farmer’s acres whether their growing forages, small grains, soybeans, cover crops or corn.” Klockenga says.

Key speakers include Lance Gunderson, President of Regen Ag Lab; Ray Archuleta, a renowned soil scientist; and Rick Bieber, a successful no-till farmer. Their experience and expertise provide valuable guidance for farmers looking to adopt regenerative practices on their farms.

“Farming this way requires a change in your mindset, but it’s worth it,” says Bob Henderson who farms with his two sons Adam and Andy hear Albia, Iowa. “I look for ways to focus on soil biology and plant health first.”

Henderson and his sons have been exploring some non-traditional options, like live green algae to help them get more nutrient-dense forage from their acres.

The event will be held at the farm of Grant and Dawn Breitkreutz, located at 38270 Kenwood Ave., Redwood Falls, Minnesota. For those needing accommodations, rooms are available at the Redwood Lodge, 1382 East Bridge Street, Redwood Falls, with a special room block under the name Premier Soil Health School.

By attending this event, farmers invest in the future of their land and adopt practices that build healthy, sustainable farms. The Premier Soil Health School is not just an event — it’s a step toward creating a resilient farming future.

Video: CHP Talks: Paul Bootsma—Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario #farmers #agriculture

My guest this week is Mr. Paul Bootsma, Policy Coordinator for the Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario (CFFO). We discuss his policy work at the CFFO and how the organization advocates for farmers with both the federal and provincial governments. We also discuss the current issue of waste at some small abbatoirs (slaughter facilities) in Ontario where there seems to be a pattern of excessive condemnation of animal carcasses by provincial inspectors, raising cost for both farmers and abbatoir owners.
