SUMMARY:Cover Crop Field Tour
DESCRIPTION:Cover Crop Field Tour\nWe will hear from OSU researchers about preliminary results of new research on the impacts of cover crops on soil and orchard health. Speakers include: farmers Jeff Newton and Zach Christensen\, Dragomira Zheleva\, whose research focuses on water availability and water retention in the soil both with and without cover crops; Chris Lessey\, whose research is related to moderating soil temperature with cover crops; Matt Tippet-Vannini\, whose research investigates the relationship between cover crops and water infiltration. OSU Professor Shannon Cappellazzi will touch on cover crop effects on soil health and Natalie Edward with NRCS will demonstrate differences in management practices on water infiltration and erosion with a rain simulation system. \nAnyone with an interest in cover crops should attend! While we will be in a hazelnut orchard\, and learning about research conducted primarily in hazelnuts\, cover crops can be used in a wide variety of agricultural and even home garden contexts. We hope to see you there! \nDetailed directions and parking instructions will be provided to attendees one week prior to the event. \nThis is a free event organized by Polk SWCD\, Yamhill SWCD\, Oregon State University\, and NRCS. Coffee and snacks will be provided. Registration is required.

The event will highlight early results from the first four years of the experiment\, including findings about yield\, profitability and soil health. The LTAR cropping system experiment compares “business-as-usual” farming (corn/soy rotation with conventional tillage) to an “aspirational” system with a five-crop rotation\, stacked conservation practices and precision technologies. The field day will also feature new innovations and information on cover crops\, nitrification inhibitors\, short corn\, pest management\, precision technology and resources to support the adoption of these practices on-farm. \nRespondNow \nFor more information about this event\, contact Christine Charles: \nEmail: charl122Wmsu.edu \nPhone: 973-255-6097

SUMMARY:Soil Stewardship - 2 Part Series
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this two-part series on the science behind soil health and how to put that knowledge into practice with reverence. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSoil Stewardship – 2-Part Series\nSundays November 2nd and November 9th\, 2025\n10 AM – 1 PM at Alemany Farm\nDAY 1: Novmber 2nd: Foundations of Soil Science\nDAY 2: November 9th: Land-based Soil Health Stewardship\nInstructors: Cole Rainey and Zai Wang\nThe health of our soils is critical to maintaining healthy crops and a flourishing ecosystem\, both above and underground. Yet the costs can be significant\, and barriers to knowledge prevent us from acting with dignity and reverence for the lands we tend. In this 2-part series of workshops\, we hope to demystify soil science\, discuss the physical\, chemical and biological aspects of soil health\, and share easy and accessible strategies for gardeners and landworkers to improve soil and plant health! \nAttending to the soil is foundational to the liberation and sovereignty of all our peoples as we struggle for self-determination and a dignified food system. Together\, we can increase autonomy in our care for the soils that we depend on for our livelihoods! \nIn Part 1\, Foundations of Soil Science\, we will learn the basics of soil science\, understanding how physical\, biological and chemical properties affect soil health. We will run field tests together to get hands-on experience with different soil properties. \nIn Part 2\, Land-based Soil Health Stewardship\, we will discuss how to steward our soils\, including planting cover crop at the farm\, understanding the principles of soil health\, and how to work with the soil microbiome. \nTICKETS: Please register for each day that you plan to attend.\nSuggested Donation: $32 for one day ($64 for both days) – no one turned away for lack of funds. Our workshops are donation-based and support the growing and distribution of free produce at Alemany Farm. We encourage everyone to make an offering commensurate with your means\, and in an amount that feels powerful to you – such gifts make workshops like these possible. We also do not want money to be a barrier to entry. Please reach out if you would like to attend but are unable to donate. If you can afford to make a bigger donation\, your contribution will support the work of Alemany Farm and the opportunity for others with more limited funds to attend this class. \nINSTRUCTORS:\ncole rainey (all pronouns) Cole is a seed keeper\, agroecologist\, artist\, organizer\, and educator. As a 5th-generation Californian and a descendent of early settlers\, Cole is committed to a lifelong practice of rematriation and reparations. They believe in the radical power of Earth stewardship to heal communities\, reclaim ancestral traditions\, and lead us towards collective liberation. Cole earned a PhD from UC Berkeley in 2024 at the intersections of soil science and agroecology. Cole’s study of seed\, soil\, and liberative practice have taken many forms: conducting soil ecology surveys\, conspiring with monarch butterflies to re-imagine the commons\, creating land-based educational programs\, conducting performance art pieces with seedlings\, and supporting mutual aid efforts across the Bay Area. \nzai wang (they/she) is an interdisciplinary naturalist whose background is in Soil and Watershed Sciences. Formerly a USDA-NRCS Soil Scientist\, zai has worked with farmers and land conservancies to survey land and map soil types to support conservation land stewardship practices. They have gained a wide breadth of ecologic knowledge from mapping Anza Borrego Desert State Park\, working with soil microbial reduction in subaqueous soils with the Wetland Pedology lab of the University of Maryland\, and surveying permafrost soils in the remote Copper River Basin\, AK. zai is excited to increase equitable access to knowledge of land by supporting soil sampling and site surveys for farmers\, community projects\, and home gardeners. \n\nFAQs \nWhat do I do if I cannot afford the suggested donation? \nWe encourage everyone to make an offering commensurate with your means\, and in an amount that feels powerful to you – such gifts make workshops like these possible. We also do not want money to be a barrier to entry. Therefore our workshop is offered freely: please select the “Equity Admission” option if it applies to you. If you can afford to make a bigger donation\, your contribution will support this opportunity for those with more limited available funds. We also do not want money to be a barrier to entry. Please contact us if you are not able to make a donation at this time. \nWhat happens if it rains? \nRain will likely cancel and we will try to reschedule. If rain is in the forecast\, we will be in touch with you a few days before the workshop with more information. \nCan I get there with public transportation? \nYes\, please see the Get Involved page on our website. Note if you are taking BART\, please use the walking directions provided here (google can lead you astray). \nIs there parking? \nYes there is limited parking on the farm (on the gravel drive inside the fence). There is also street parking on Alemany Blvd and Ellsworth streets.
