It may not make its way on to many calendars this season, but World Soil Day is a holiday we can get behind. In honor of the day, we’ve rounded up a few ways you can celebrate by learning about the many benefits of soil health.
Adopting practices such as cover crops and reduced tillage can improve the health of farmers’ soil, their bottom line, and ultimately the planet. Whether you’re a farmer interested in adopting more beneficial practices or a supporter interested in sponsoring this transition, learn more about what's possible with healthier soil.
