Wrapping Up in Richland County

By: David Lamm, Healthy Soils for Sustainable Cotton at the Soil Health Institute, & Dr. Robin Kloot, Research Associate Professor, Environmental Health Sciences/Arnold School of Public Health at the University of South Carolina

Mr. David Lamm, Project Manager, Healthy Soils for Sustainable Cotton at the Soil Health Institute, and Dr. Buz Kloot, Research Associate Professor, Environmental Health Sciences/Arnold School of Public Health at the University of South Carolina, summarize the various soil health measurements and discussions that have taken place during the virtual soil health field day. Soil Health Institute Virtual Field Days are a production of the Healthy Soils for Sustainable Cotton project of the Soil Health Institute. Healthy Soils for Sustainable Cotton seeks to expand adoption of soil health management systems on producers’ farms through farmer-focused education and training events delivered by Soil Health Institute scientists, partnering soil health technical specialists and farmer mentors producing cotton using soil health promoting practices. The project aims to improve soil health and expand sustainable cotton production. Additionally, the project seeks to quantify, expand, and verify the productivity and environmental benefits of the soil health management practices used by cotton producers. Healthy Soils for Sustainable Cotton is supported through the generosity of the Wrangler® brand, the VF Corporation Foundation, and the Walmart Foundation.​
