In this video, hear from farmers Mike Phillips of Valley View Farms and Amy Hicks of Amy's Organic Garden on the importance of soil health as we kickoff the 4 The Soil Awareness Initiative on National Soil Health Day. 4 The Soil emphasizes four soil health principles that Natural Resources Conservation Service and state partners have promoted to conservation and farming communities for nearly ten years. These are keeping soil covered, minimize soil disturbance, maximize living roots, and energize with diversity.
