It is National Soil Health Day, and we are digging into the undie-cover work of soil microbes! That’s right it is time to Soil Your Undies. We know... we just had to go and make learning about soil weird, but we promise it is fun. Here's how to do it:

One thing hasn't changed since 1935: the key to conservation success is meeting producers one-on-one to develop a conservation plan. In this Dust Bowl era photo, a county agent and farmer plan on a farm in Dewitt County, TX. https://t.co/SA89JLDdC8 #NRCS90 📸 @USNatArchives.

Small farms, big impact. Through EQIP and CSP, NRCS helps small producers implement sustainable practices that improve soil health and increase long-term productivity. Let’s grow with conservation in mind. https://t.co/TKMZfqg65c

Since our founding on April 27, 1935, as the Soil Conservation Service, we've committed to helping people help the land. Today and into the future, we're committed to continuing that legacy by helping farmers, ranchers and forest landowners conserve air, water, soil, and habitat.

Yesterday, we celebrated the Father of Soil Conservation. Born in 1881, Hugh Hammond Bennett’s passion for healthy soil led to the creation of NRCS and a nationwide movement to protect our most valuable resource – our land.
