“Start small, get your feet wet, and make your mistakes at a small scale.” Shelby County farmer Aaron Heilers shared this advice on integrating soil conservation practices during the year’s first OSUE Soil Health webinar on January 6. The webinar featured a panel of Ohio farmers, including Heilers, Jason Sneed, (Clinton County), and Jack Sommers (Champaign County). The three discussed their soil health resolutions for 2022 in a session moderated by Extension educators Tony Nye and Taylor Dill. View it online at
