Dear Soil Scientists,

Greetings from Columbus, Ohio. I am writing to highlight the need for reversing the trends of declining enrollment, dwindling faculty position, and lack of funding support for research and outreach in soil science. We must raise the stature and prestige of the soil science profession and attract the brightest and the best into the profession.

With best regards

Rattan Lal
