To all,

An excellent popular article published in the Minneapolis Star Tribune on Sunday, December 17, 2017 on agricultural sustainability and soil health. It highlights the importance of the farmers using minimum soil disturbance and cover crop mixes, emphasis on input from the consumer, emphasis on collaboration with the “food giants”, and shows the importance of educating the policy folks on the benefits of soil health.
