🌱 Everything begins with the soil. Soil is alive!

We often look at the fields, the crops, the animals, and the harvest β€” but underneath it all is the quiet force that makes life possible: the soil.

Healthy soil is so much more than dirt. It is a living ecosystem that stores water, cycles nutrients, supports roots, captures carbon, and helps create the food that sustains every one of us.

The quality of our soil shapes the quality of our farms, our food, and our future. When we care for the ground beneath us, we are caring for generations we may never meet.

Farmers have always understood this truth: you cannot take from the land forever without giving something back. The soil remembers how it is treated.

Protecting soil isn’t just an agricultural issue β€” it’s an Earth issue. Because when the soil thrives, life thrives. 🌎🌱

How regenerative agriculture is quietly transforming the way we grow food β€” and why a billion acres might be the tipping point.

We are thrilled to announce that our 2026-2027 Today’s Youth in Agriculture Ambassador applications are now open. We are even more excited to share that our positions are expanding!

After a successful pilot year, we made the decision to expand the number of national ambassadors we have, adding the llama/alpaca and soil and water categories, as well as splitting goats into market and dairy.

In addition, we will add an overall Agriculture Ambassador for every state! This will raise our total number of youth advocating for agriculture from 15 to as many as 65!!

We cannot wait to see what incredible teens apply for these positions.
