Join us for a regional conversation on soil health innovations in cotton systems. Learn how producers are overcoming drought, weed pressure, and soil degradation with cover crops, no-till, and reduced input strategies. Hear practical insights from cotton growers and university experts on implementing regenerative practices that boost resilience and profitability in the Southeastern U.S.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 cotton producers in the Southeastern U.S. are transforming their soil health management strategies to meet the unique challenges of cotton systems. This webinar kicks off a new regional series focused on system-specific innovations and resource concerns in soil health. Learn about the pressures facing cotton growers—from drought and herbicide-resistant weeds to degraded soils—and the strategies producers are using to overcome them. NRCS staff and university partners introduce the series and explain its goal: to equip agency field staff with regionally relevant, practical ideas for advancing soil health in local systems. Dive into firsthand accounts from three cotton experts: Tennessee farmer Matt Griggs, University of Tennessee Extension specialist Dr. Tyson Raper, and Arkansas grower Adam Chappell. Hear how these producers have successfully integrated cover crops, reduced inputs, and implemented no-till practices to improve soil resilience and profitability. Topics include cover crop termination techniques, planting equipment modifications, and critical decision-making strategies for working in high-biomass systems. Explore how cotton production can shift from conventional approaches to regenerative systems using practical, field-tested methods. Speakers share yield outcomes, input savings, and real-world lessons learned—offering a compelling blueprint for conservation-minded cotton growers. Whether you're a conservation planner, agronomist, or extension professional, this webinar offers regionally grounded insights into sustainable cotton production and soil health innovation across the Mid-South.
