Happy World Soil Day!! Soils are the basis of life on earth and are central to solving some of the most critical societal challenges! Let's marvel at their natural beauty and acknowledge their importance. (I am not using Twitter ('x') much, but I can make an exception...)

We had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Gregorio Gonzalez last week. Dr. Gonzalez is the #NRCS program manager for our #climatesmart project with @PVAMU. We are targeting enhanced #weathering through #rockpowder application as a climatesmart strategy. @feaburto @tamusoilcrop

Celebrating 125 years of soil survey! In 1899, Congress funded USDA to investigate U.S. soil in the field and laboratory & the first soil surveys began. We continue to provide soil data to inform, protect & sustain future generations. Read more: bit.ly/3XWfERR @USDA_NRCS
