Rotational Grazing Can Build Soil Carbon, but Drought Changes the Story
A decade-long grazing study shows that management can improve soil carbon and nutrient dynamics, but drought and year-to-year weather remain major drivers of soil health.

The Problem with “More Is Better”
Drainage can increase some soil health indicators while reducing pasture productivity, showing why higher values are not always better.

The Hidden Timeline of Soil Health Profitability
Soil health practices may not improve farm profitability immediately. A study of eight Georgia cotton farms shows how financial benefits can emerge gradually as growers adapt management, reduce input costs, and move beyond the initial expenses of adopting cover crops and reduced tillage.

Dairy Soil Health Depends on Management and Environment
Soil health improves with better management, but climate, texture, irrigation, and manure history shape the response.
