SUMMARY:2019 HEALTHY SOIL SUMMIT
DESCRIPTION:Dates:  Wednesday\, August 21st – Thursday\, August 22nd\, 2019 \nTime:  Wednesday\, August 21st: 7:30am to 7:45pm; Thursday\, August 22nd: 7:30am to 5:00pm \nVenue:  UC Davis Conference Center\, 550 Alumni Ln\, Davis\, CA 95616 \nCost:  $335 per person. Includes one and a half days (Wednesday afternoon and all day Thursday) of premium content on successful farm strategies from real farm experts\, evening reception and keynote\, lunch on second day and breaks for networking.  Does not include tour \nAgenda: \nAugust 21: \n7:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. | Optional add-on farm walk and tour (SOLD OUT) \n1:30-1:45 p.m. | Welcome \n1:45-2:45 p.m. | Managing Soil for Mineral Health\nBill Brush\, B&B Ag Consulting\n \nSoil fertility expert Bill Brush will address strategies for building better soil by looking at nutrients the soil requires to be fertile. Balancing the minerals in your soil can address many of the challenges to that farmers often face. Don’t miss this opening presentation\, which will serve as the foundation for a deeper dive into soil biology and health throughout the remainder of the program. \n2:45-3:45 p.m. | Improving Water\, Nitrogen\, and Phosphorus Efficiency\nJohn Kempf\, Advancing Eco Agriculture \nIn this workshop AEA’s John Kempf will describe soil nitrogen and phosphorus cycles\, how to manage these interactions\, prevent nutrient leaching\, and enable the greatest plant response with the most efficient use of inputs. It is possible to supply all of a crop’s nitrogen and phosphorus requirements through biologically available nutrients while contributing no fertilizer runoff\, and by better managing nitrogen. Water use efficiency can also increase dramatically. Attend this workshop to learn the principles and techniques for best water\, nitrogen\, and phosphorus management. \n3:45-4:30 p.m. — NETWORKING COFFEE BREAK – sponsored by MARRONE BIO INNOVATIONS\n \n4:30-5:15 p.m. | Exploring Soil’s Microbiome\nAdrian Ferrero\, Biome Makers \nCombining the latest technology as DNA Sequencing and intelligent computing allows us to monitor soil health by using microbiome as a bioindicator of soil life. This session will dive into what we know about soil microbial life\, explore what measuring these communities can tell us about our soil\, and how this information can help us better manage for productivity. \n5:15-6:30 p.m. | KEYNOTE: Driving Productivity and Resilience with Good Soil Health\nGary Zimmer\, Midwestern BioAg \nIn this non-stop\, jam-packed keynote presentation\, soil health veteran Gary Zimmer will walk us down a comprehensive journey into farm productivity. From what we know about soil tests and minerals to the rules for getting the most out of your soil life\, he will share his decades of experience. He will explore the role of plant food and diversity and also the role of tillage to maximize healthy mineralized soil. You’ll walk away from this dynamic session with diverse tools to drive productivity and resilience in your farming system. \n6:30-7:45 p.m. | EVENING RECEPTION \nAugust 22: \n7:30-8 a.m. MORNING COFFEE \n8-10 a.m. | Managing Water\, Weeds and Disease with a Biotic Mindset\nBrendon Rockey\, Rockey Farms \nDrought. It brought a biotic mindset to Rockey Farms\, revealing options once dismissed for growing healthy\, steady yielding potatoes. Today\, the 500-irrigated acre specialty seed potato and quinoa operation has no place for toxic chemicals and synthetic inputs in its living\, profitable and resilient farm system. Cover crops\, livestock grazing and precise mechanical weeding improve the farm’s carbon cycle\, which results in maximized water efficiency and infiltration rates in addition to decreasing and manageable weed populations. Companion Crops and Flowering Strips build upon these fundamentals\, creating habitat that competes with weed populations and provides resources for beneficial insects to thrive\, providing a successful Integrated Pest Management tool when controlling vector viruses. \n10-10:45 a.m. — NETWORKING COFFEE BREAK \n10:45-11:45 a.m. | Regenerative Agriculture on a California Ranch: Live Podcast Interview\nJohn Kempf\, Advancing Eco Agriculture \nVernon Peterson\, Peterson Family Farm and Abundant Harvest Organics \nJoin John Kempf for a live version of the Regenerative Agriculture Podcast featuring Vernon Peterson of Peterson Family Farm and Abundant Harvest Organics. John and his guest will discuss effective approaches to pest and disease challenges as well as soil health in the context of California’s issues with weather and water. Attend to learn how growers are navigating California’s regulatory and labor challenges\, and the economic success of regenerative farming practices. \n11:45 a.m.-1 p.m. | How to Identify and Correct the Cause of the #1 Limiting Factor in Global Agricultural Production\nGlen Rabenberg\, Soil Works  \nWeeds\, disease\, and poor water penetration are symptoms of compacted unhealthy soil. Agricultural has become accustomed to reacting to these symptoms with chemicals\, micro-nutrients\, and tillage. Correcting the cause of soil compaction restarts the soil ecosystem allowing oxygen and water to penetrate the soil profile eliminating the dependency on reacting to symptoms. In his presentation\, Glen Rabenberg will show you how to identify soil compaction\, teach you what causes compaction\, and leave you with a five-step approach to restore soil health and correct the cause. \n1-2 p.m. — LUNCH \n2-3 p.m. | Bio-Based Solutions for Pest Management and Plant Health\nPamela Marrone\, Marrone Bio Innovations \nAs growers seek to increase pest resistance\, regulations on environmental and worker safety become more stringent\, and consumers demand safer\, more sustainable food\, biologicals (biopesticides and biostimulants) are enjoying an increasingly prominent role in crop protection programs. The evolution of biologicals as a more trusted and reliable tool in a grower’s toolbox\, however\, would not have been possible without advances in science\, technology and manufacturing processes that have made biologicals more effective. The majority of growers may have heard the terms “biopesticides” or “biologicals\,” but may be unclear on their modes of action and when and how to use them successfully in integrated pest management and crop production programs. This talk will outline the foundational concepts of the biologicals category\, discuss how and when to use them and illustrate some of the exciting new developments. \n3-4 p.m. |  PANEL: Ask the Experts \nIn this closing session\, we bring the Summit’s lessons all together with the help of our expert speakers and open it up for questions. You won’t want to miss this unique opportunity to capitalize on the tremendous expertise and experience of these agricultural leaders. \n4-5 p.m. — NETWORKING – CLOSING COFFEE & DRINKS \nTo Register\, please click here.

SUMMARY:CURRENT WINE AND WINEGRAPE RESEARCH COURSE
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, February 27th\, 2019 \nTime: 9:00 am to 5:00 pm \nVenue: UC Davis Conference Center 550 Alumni Lane\, Davis CA 95616 \nCost: $149.00 Includes lunch\, wine reception and course materials. \nDescription: Competitive grants have funded some of the most exciting new and broad-reaching research on issues relating to wine grapes and enology. Enjoy a full day of brief\, 20-minute presentations by researchers describing their current projects in this unique forum. \nThis is an exclusive opportunity to hear and discuss the latest research directly from these highly-regarded researchers. Topics include work on grapevine breeding and evaluation\, cultural practices\, disease and insect pest control\, and enology. The 20-minute report format allows for synopses of many projects in a single day. Each scientist will have 15 minutes to speak and an additional five minutes to answer questions from the audience. \nThe researchers competed successfully for grants from the American Vineyard Foundation\, a nonprofit corporation supporting research in viticulture and enology. To qualify for these grants\, researchers must submit yearly grant proposals and reports\, undergoing continuous scrutiny of their work from peer review panels. \nA wine reception\, co-sponsored by the American Vineyard Foundation and the National Grape and Wine Initiative\, during which you can meet the researchers\, will follow the presentations. \nNote: You must be 21 years of age or older to enroll and attend. \nRegister: For more information on the research course and to register please follow this link.
