Description
Soil stewardship is an essential topic! It’s crucial for students to know why soil is important and what they can do to be good stewards of the environment. They may not be in agriculture, or plan to be, but it’s great to know what steps are being taken to protect our soil and crops for our generation and generations to come. It’s also important for them to know their part in all of this!
