Water Quality and Soil Health
Soil health and water quality are closely related. In terms of agricultural practices, nutrient cycling and soil structure are critical.
Grazing and Soil Health
Good grazing management practices can help to improve soil health in four important ways. Find out how cows help build healthy soil.
How to Build Up Soil
Most soil isn’t perfect. Learn how to build it up so that it’s healthier. The benefits go beyond plant life.
What is Soil and Why is It Important? Introducing the Soil Series
Soil is a loose surface material that provides a growth medium for plants. It is a source of nutrients and water that also provides structural support for a plant’s root system.
Do Cows Cause Water Pollution?
Agricultural run-off is a bigger problem that cow manure – and manure itself could be part of the solution.
Do Cows Cause Climate Change?
Do cows cause climate change? Yes, it’s true that cattle release methane. But when you look at the data, you can see things more clearly.
Fire and Carbon Dioxide: Grass vs. Trees
Fires can be tragic, catastrophic events for people and wildlife, but are they always and completely “bad” for the environment? Let’s consider and compare grass and trees.
Photosynthesis and Oxygen: Grass vs. Trees
Most plants – including trees and grasses – make their own food with photosynthesis. Yet not all plants produce the same amount of oxygen. Learn how grass and trees compare.
How Does Photosynthesis Work?
Photosynthesis is the most important chemical reaction on Earth. Read how it works and watch the short video.
Easter Eggs, Spring Chicks, and Blue Birds
Eggs have long been associated with Easter, but why are chicks sold in the springtime? And why are dyed chicks in Easter baskets?
