Neal Kinsey Soil & Fertility Seminar
February 25th – 27th

The Neal Kinsey Soil & Fertility Seminar is an event you won’t want to miss. This three-day course covers soils tests and recommendations, but also goes in-depth on individual nutrients and how to fix soil excesses and shortages. Neal has great stories from his 50-year career to illustrate how and why his recommendations work, especially over a long period of time. Additional speakers, including Kyle Long, will be presenting throughout the event, which will add a lot of new things compared to any Neal Kinsey seminar you may have attended in the past
