Farmers, researchers, and ag professionals building soil knowledge together
“This is also why community-oriented platforms matter. Spaces like Soil Health Exchange can help create the kind of environment where farmers, engineers, and researchers are not working in separate silos, but instead building around shared questions and shared needs.”
“This is an awesome review and assessment of the continuum of this project over the course of these various publications and research efforts. I think another key point to highlight is the ability to formulate the Hierarchy of Land Use and Management associated with various quantifications of the dynamic properties and soil functions.”
“Our best cotton in 2025 was where we had a cover crop plus chicken litter that was applied in the fall. It is difficult to get chicken litter where we farm, and wet weather hampers our efforts. But the drought we are in at the moment has allowed us to get much needed chicken litter spread.”
“Soil Health Exchange is one of my favorite resources to turn to right now — doing awesome work as it relates to soil. More and more people are recognizing how reshaping agriculture is vital to our longevity on this planet.”
