Join us for an inspiring session in the Conversations on Soil Health series, where Indiana NRCS leaders share their journey in implementing a statewide soil health strategy. Learn how targeted outreach, strategic partnerships, and a strong support network helped drive adoption and innovation in conservation practices. Discover lessons that can be applied in your own region to strengthen soil health efforts!

Discover how Indiana transformed its commitment to soil health into a statewide conservation success story. This webinar highlights Indiana NRCS’s strategic efforts to promote soil health through innovative partnerships, targeted investments, and a strong culture of collaboration. Learn about Indiana’s early adoption of conservation tillage and cover cropping, and how the state built lasting momentum through data tracking, farmer networks, and a dedicated team of technical experts. Speakers share how the soil health strategy evolved over time, why farmer involvement was key to success, and how cross-agency partnerships fueled statewide impact. Explore the foundational role of farmer-led innovation, on-the-ground training, and state-level leadership in supporting resilient conservation systems. Hear firsthand from agency staff who helped develop Indiana’s approach—from field testing BMPs to scaling adoption through cost-share programs and peer-to-peer learning. Whether you're a soil health specialist, district conservationist, or partner organization, this webinar offers a powerful case study in how intentional strategy and grassroots energy can drive meaningful conservation outcomes on working lands.
