Converting Marginal Grainland to Forages with Joel Williams
Join internationally recognized soil and plant health educator Joel Williams for an in-depth workshop exploring how forages can transform underperforming grain acres into resilient, productive, and profitable land.
Drawing on extensive experience across Australia, the UK, and Canada, Joel specializes in soil biology, plant nutrition, and regenerative farming systems that improve soil function and long-term productivity. Through practical, science-based insights, he will examine why some grainlands become marginal, how forage systems can restore soil health and suppress salinity, and how strategic grazing management can accelerate recovery while reducing input costs.
Whether you're considering converting marginal acres to perennial forage or integrating forages into an annual crop rotation, this workshop and guided field tour will provide strategic tools for forage selection, establishment, and management to help build healthier soils and more resilient farming systems.
