Glad you finally got out from under that rock!! Farming is and has been “soil conservation”.
soil and moisture field day postponed by rain..kind of ironic, dont you think
Nice to see the ag community finally jumping onboard with soil conservation. It will be vital to future generations that we practice conservation now.
