Let's flip the farm subsidy program for the good of the land and the good of the farmer and the good of the eater.
I am keeping my eye on these developments with the intention that the SHI Framework for Soil Health will be a tool for efficient allocation of these financial resources to support producers in adoption of regenerative ag. #soilhealth #farmpolicy zcu.io/lRnl

I did the math: a full battery of coronavirus testing costs at minimum $1,331.
I also did the legal research: the Administration has the authority to make testing free for every American TODAY.
I secured a commitment from a high-level Trump official that they’d actually do it.
I just saw a great talk from Vanessa Bailey from #PNNL while at #AGU2019 What do we know about soil carbon destabilization? doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/ab… via @IOPscience

Just heard a great presentation from Christine Morgan of @soil_institute at the @SSSA_soils meeting. Tying research to landowner adoption is often the missing link in #soilhealth. Thank you SHI for all you do. – at San Antonio, TX

From @STCmicrobeblog: Lichens are said to occupy an astounding 6% of the surface of Earth’s land mass, so pay attention.
As you are well aware, lichens arise by the symbiotic interaction of fungi and algae (or sometimes cyanobacteria)... ow.ly/R5GH50vPLsx

"[Soil] represents the difference between life and lifelessness in the earth system, and it can also help us combat climate change -- if we can only stop treating it like dirt."

I love to consider how biofilms can help to explain data that used to seem like an anomaly. This blog by Jon Lieff M.D. has many interesting lessons we can take from medical research to consider in relation to soil systems. zcu.io/RozV #biofilms #soilhealth #farmers

Fall is in the air, so it's a relief our >2000 #NAPESHM samples are all collected. But now it's time to hunker down, look at data graphs and figures & try to find the best tool in our toolbox for measuring differences in #farming on #soilhealth- @cplayswithdirt project scientist
