The OSU Extension Sustainable Agriculture Team is attempting to promote awareness, discussion, and experimentation on concepts related to soil health. In addition to Extension members, the Team also includes members from NRCS, farm organizations, and OSU agricultural scientists. Workshops, distribution of educational materials and work with two assessment tools is underway. An Ohio Soil Health Scorecard is being developed with a farmer advisory group and a Soil Quality Test Kit first developed in Nebraska will be made available at locations throughout the state. Hopefully, this program will stimulate development and adoption of agricultural practices that continue to maintain our soil-resource base.
