This Season’s Real Question: What Are You Doing For Your Soil?

What are you actually doing this season, in your own bioregion, to help your soils thrive?

Because if the soil’s tired, the farm’s tired. And if the farm’s tired… well, so is your bank account.

@Australia

You’re farming in a place where the sun shows no mercy and the soils have seen everything from boom to bust. So what’s the move this season?

More cover crops instead of bare baked paddocks?
Resting country instead of flogging it?
Keeping ground cover on so your topsoil doesn’t just pack its bags and leave with the next windstorm?

What are you changing on your place to build carbon, hold more water, and leave the paddock a bit better than you found it?

@NorthAmerica

You’ve got everything from frozen prairies to 40°C dust bowls, sometimes in the same year. So what’s the plan on your operation?

Cutting back on heavy tillage and letting structure rebuild?
Using diverse rotations or grazing plans instead of “corn–corn–pray”?
Getting more biology into the system with manure, compost, or living roots in the ground longer?

On your farm, in your bioregion, this season:👉 What’s one concrete thing you’re doing to help your soils come back stronger, not weaker?
