The Hancock County Soil and Water Conservation District is hosting its eighth annual Residue Management Conference Tuesday, July 14, at Sullivan and Son Auction and Events Center south of Carthage.

The conference has continued to evolve, and this year the focus will be on residue management, nutrient management, and soil health. The conference began as an outdoor event with different companies bringing in tillage tools for demonstrations. While that is still part of the day’s events, an emphasis has been placed on presentations and interactive panels indoors to help producers learn more about the changes involved with farming practices.
