Listen to What Your Soil Is Telling You

As you put your farm to bed for winter, there's one important step many small-scale farmers skip: post-harvest soil testing. Your soil has a story to tell about what this season took out of it and what it needs for next year. Testing now gives you months to make informed decisions about amendments and crop rotation before spring planting rushes in. Our latest article shows you how to read what your fields are saying and use that information to set yourself up for stronger yields next season.
