As water travels through soil, it slows down, spreads out, and many impurities are removed, helping protect water quality before it reaches streams and rivers.

The healthier the soil, the more microorganisms it can support, along with greater diversity that helps cycle nutrients and support plant growth. In poor soils, both the number and variety of microorganisms drop, which weakens the soil system and reduces its ability to support healthy plants. 🪱🤎

Agricultural conservation practices, like planting cover crops and reducing soil disturbance, help keep soil in place, prevent erosion, increase farm productivity and profitability, and protect nearby habitats.🌾🚜🧑‍🌾

Conservation districts across the country work with local farmers and producers to implement soil health practices on their lands!
