🌱 We’re thrilled to expand our National Soil Health Demonstration Trial Network with nearly $5 million from @USDA_NRCS over the next five years!
Working with 35 trial host farms across 14 states in five regions, and more than 20 partners, the project will demonstrate and ation and its performance when integrated with complementary soil health practices on working farms.
Through farmer-led trials, technical and financial assistance, decision-support tools, and peer networks, the project will help farmers and ranchers adopt systems that fit their operations, while generating regionally relevant soil, water, economic, and social data.
This expansion wouldn't be possible without the collaboration of our partners. We're looking forward to working together to bring practical, tested soil health solutions to more producers nationwide!
