Through the help of Truterra, you can receive a FREE soil health assessment (funded by Nestle). This is a great place to start to find your baseline data and explore ways to create a healthier soil. If you are interested in aggregate stability, organic carbon, soil compaction, nutrient mineralization potential, and or plant water availability this is a great opportunity for you. There isn’t any requirements of having done conservation practices, we only ask that you share one year worth of baseline data (things like crop type, harvest, yield, applications down to the field level). This will help farmers be set up for possible future opportunities like payment for changing practices and storing carbon.
