MyLand hosts webinar to highlight the importance of soil health in optimal pistachio growing, featuring Justin Wylie of Wylie Farms and Amy Rial of MyLand
MyLand, a soil health company, today announced the release of an exclusive on-demand webinar titled “Soil Grows Success: Elevating Pistachio Farming through Improved Soil Health.” Insights from the webinar shed light on the powerful impact of prioritizing healthier soil on enhancing profitability for pistachio growers, while concurrently improving tree health and minimizing costly chemical inputs.
Webinar participants will gain valuable insights into:
- Sustainable Farming Practices: Methods to reduce dependencies on inputs, maintain crop quality and production, and avoid setbacks when modifying growing practices.
- Water Savings and Stress Reduction: How improved soil health reduces tree stress and saves water.
- Soil Health Secrets: The critical importance of microbial abundance and microalgae’s role in the soil food web.
- Overcoming Challenges: How Justin navigates challenges in production and quality while moving towards a more holistic approach to farming.
- Real-Life Experiences: Firsthand stories from Justin’s journey through flood impacts and tree recovery from phytophthora.
- Next Generation Farming: The parallels between human health and farming practices and the shift towards profitability and resilience embraced by the younger generation in farming.
The webinar brings together two industry experts to share their expertise and experiences in the field: Justin Wylie, with over 15 years of agriculture experience as a Pistachio Grower, Farm Manager of Wylie Farms, and American Pistachio Growers Board Vice Chair; and Amy Rial, who has 10 years of experience in agriculture as an agronomist, CCA, and MyLand’s Senior Agriculture Researcher. JCS’ MyAgLife co-hosts the free webinar alongside MyLand.
“When you start to increase soil health, your trees will need less water,” said Justin during the webinar. “My goal has been to not experience any sort of drop off in production and quality, and I think we’ve been pretty successful.” Justin shares more of his shift towards healthier soil and sustainable agriculture in the candid webinar.
MyLand is committed to providing resources and support to farmers worldwide, empowering them to improve their soil health, adopt sustainable farming practices, and drive profitability. With a focus on innovation and education, the company strives to build a more sustainable future for agriculture.
