Arkansas Soil & Water Conservation Virtual Field Trip Series
The Soil & Water Conservation Virtual Field Trips (VFTs) Series focuses on the conservation
benefits our researchers have developed with respect to water quality, irrigation
water use, climate change, soil health, profitability and sustainability through their
partnership with selected farms, including some farmers involved in the Arkansas Discovery
Farms Program.
The goal of these virtual field trips was to educate a statewide network of participants through a series of no-cost virtual research-based, interactive demonstrations and educational experiences.
The live series has ended, however video recordings and lesson plans are still available.
