I am guessing my residue counts will be lower this week than last. #fulltillage #soilerosionkills #SoilHealth

I like the look of a green field in the spring.😉

[Sarah Ham @soildork]

Got it a little late but pretty proud of this piece of paper. It's not just a job when you are passionate about what you do. One of my best decisions was coming to work for @IowaNRCS! #helpingpeoplehelptheland

[NRCS_Iowa @IowaNRCS]

We need 46 soil conservationists to fill positions across IA! Position locations r negotiable after selection. Must have graduated within past 2 yrs or a Spring 2023 grad. https://t.co/nB8AZqq6ix @iastate_cals @IADeptAg @NWMOSTATE

Buffers are cool and classic! Honestly, they are my favorite conservation practice.

Keep the tillage equipment in the machine shed this fall. #Keepthestubble #NoTillNovember #DoNotdisturb #SoilHealth @NoTillFarmr @isuextension @ialearningfarms

@farmerdoug93 Early harvest and no rain has caused an outbreak of Restless Tillage Syndrome down here in SE IA.

Iowa doesn’t have an @MLB team yet we are blacked out of 6 different markets. ⚾️

[Sarah Ham @soildork]

Happy 4/20…ya hippies

[Sarah Ham @soildork]

@IowaAggie10 Not even a native and I had a perfect score!!! Although after this many years, Iowa has to claim me.

[Brandon Freel @IowaAggie10]

If your score is over one and you live in Iowa, I would ask you politely but firmly to leave.

@Vittetoe761 I personally think it's brilliant! Zip ties?? I think you meant bailing wire.

@farmerdoug93 Mine would be dictator and somewhere with a lake.

[Sarah Ham @soildork]

20 years ago today I started as an intern for @IowaNRCS! I had no idea back then that an internship would turn into a career I am passionate about, that Iowa would become home to me, and that I would make amazing lifelong friendships. Glad they took a chance on this Illini girl.

@JeanEells Carpet farming is rough these days. Might need to have a farm safety meeting!

[Sarah Ham @soildork]

Wonder Woman borrowed Barbie's tractor yesterday to farm. I need to have a chat with her about compaction and soil health. Time for a new conservation plan.
