Join us for our first virtual Sunday Forum, with presenter Dr. Anna Cates, speaking on the topic, “Why soil matters, and how agriculture can get it right.” We will meet on the ZOOM platform. Email the church to get the link. Forum will begin at 9am and wrap up at about 9:50 so you have time for a stretch break, coffee break, get dressed break, or whatever break before 10am worship on YouTube.  We anticipate a lively and information discussion, as always.

Anna Cates is Minnesota’s first State Soil Health Specialist in the MN Office for Soil Health (MOSH). MOSH is dedicated to improving soil health in Minnesota by working with farmers and conservation professionals. Anna’s research focuses on soil organic matter cycling and storage in a variety of cropping systems. She received a PhD in Agronomy and an MS in Soil Science from University of Wisconsin-Madison.
