SOIL HEALTH U & TRADE SHOW WILL GO VIRTUAL JAN. 21

DODGE CITY, KS—Due to local ongoing health and safety concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic
in the state, High Plains Journal and primary partners Prairie Foods and Exapta Solutions have decided to
transition the upcoming Soil Health U & Trade Show into a virtual event the morning of Jan. 21.

Learn practical ways to increase soil health and maximize profits on every acre at Soil Health U 2021. Attendee registration covers access to:

• 1 Full Day – Attendees will be able to choose, on the registration page, which day they would like to attend.

The new virtual Soil Health U will feature our three keynote speakers during morning webinar sessions on
Jan. 21. Jimmy Emmons, third-generation farmer and rancher, regional coordinator for the Southern Plains
Region- FPAC within USDA, will lead off with a state of the state of soil health address. Kris Nichols, Ph.D.,
soil microbiologist and founder and principal scientist of KRIS Systems Education & Consultation and Rick
Clark, fifth-generation farmer and owner of Farm Green, will follow. There will be plenty of time allotted for
questions and answers from the audience during the live webinar sessions, and the sessions will be recorded
for registered attendees to access after the event.
New this year, we plan to offer virtual breakout sessions so that attendees can have more time for idea exchanges
and further explore topics with their fellow attendees, speakers and other soil health notables in
the field.
