Kathryn,
There is a good basic book based on
Albrecht's work- "Hands On Agronomy" by Neal Kinsey & Charles Walters.-
avail. from Acres. Kinsey is an ag consultant. There are anecdotes and such, but
good basic stuff on mineral balancing.
The best I know, education wise, was Steve
Rioch's "Soil Testing & Recommendations" course which incorporated
Albrecht's work and some new info. He started Timberleaf Soil Testing Service
and took 1 student a year (I took it in 1992). Bob Russo bought the company
around 1995 and spent 3 or 4 months, 8 hours a day, working with and
learning from Steve. I don't know if Bob teaches, but his soil test results
print-out is an education in itself, and he offers free consulting if you have
questions. He may know of some educational opportunities, too. Here's a link to
their web page:
Bob & Valerie are exceptionally nice
people. Tell them I sent you. We're friends (I taught in Steve's courses at Ohio
U while they were there learning the biz.) The top photo on the "About our
program" page is from my farm. They stopped for a few days on their way back to
California.
Hope you find something.
