WSDA has continued its work with WSU on the State of the Soils Assessment.
To date, the project team has trained over 100 agricultural professionals from conservation districts and industry, to take nearly 700 soil samples in nearly 50 cropping systems. Data are being used to understand broad trends in soil health and carbon sequestration due to differences in climate, soil type, and soil and crop management. Participating producers are each given an individualized soil health report. For results available to the public, check back for an upcoming web tool. In the meantime, visit the WSDA Soil Health Youtube Channel to watch our soil sampling training videos, visit the WSDA Soil Health webpage, or contact WaSHI@agr.wa.gov for more information.
