USDA-ARS Soil scientist evaluating management linked to the soil microbial component, organic matter dynamics and overall soil health and productivity.
I just learned this Monday was the National Soil Health Day (June 23) to recognize the role of healthy soils on food production, clean air & water, and plant-environment-animal- human health. It’s never late to thank colleagues, farmers/growers for your soil conservation efforts!

Few years trying no-till and a winter wheat cover crop are showing already many improvements in the soil biological component in this soil in TX! Thanks to producers trying so hard to improve soil health…Lacy Vardeman look at this beautiful cotton you had!!Happy World Soil Day!
