June 21, 2019 Longtime CASI member, Ron Jones of J & J Farms in Firebaugh, CA, brought his nephew and farming partner, Darcy Villere, out to the NRI Project study site as part of CASI's Friday morning soil tour program on June 21, 2019.

June 19, 2019 Lindsey Moore, a science photographer with KQED, visited the NRI Project field site on June 19th to shoot photos of the long-term study for conservation agriculture in California's San Joaquin Valley.

Renowned soil ecologist, Gwen Grelet, who works as a researcher with LandCareResearch in New Zealand, visited the NRI Project field and had a very interesting and mutually-enriching conversation with CASI hosts, Tom Willey and Jeff Mitchell on June 12, 2019.

June 7, 2019 CASI hosted a group of newly-hired UC ANR and NRCS soil health experts for an introduction to the study site in Five Points, CA, demonstrations, and discussions related to what the project has learned since its beginning back in 1999.
