Michigan-based Christie Apple is an agronomy and soil health specialist at Timac Agro USA. A self-proclaimed ‘soil nerd’, Christie loves everything to do with soil health and plant nutrition, and she has worked with hemp as a valuable crop in regenerating soil health. She works with clients, trains farmers and other agronomists, and in her free time, she and her husband (also an agronomist!) and family farm their own land. In this seminar, Christie will identify what measures she uses to characterize soil health and how hemp fits in a strategy to recover and restore the soil because of its specific attributes.
