Soil Health
I recently had the opportunity to attend a fascinating workshop on soil health with some colleagues in OSU Extension. There is a lot happening in the arena, and there is a real concerted effort toward developing useful soil health tests that can be meaningful to a producer. I am always amazed at how many competing factors influence our decision making. More to come later, but for now, here is video featuring Ohio State University Extension Educator Alan Sundermeier (Wood County).
