Soil Health Tooth Fairy?

Twenty-five lucky conservation districts across Washington received a special soil health bucket from the Washington State Conservation Commission.

Acting like a soil health fairy, the commission purchased and organized partial soil health testing kits to share with conservation district staff doing boots-on-the-ground soil sampling. The Washington State Department of Agriculture, which coordinated the State of the Soils Assessment, helped to ensure the delivered kits were equipped with the necessary tools and materials.

While these weren’t delivered in the middle of the night, the tooth fairy’s usual MO, they still brought useful tools to staff who can now better collect soil samples and provide technical support for Washington producers.
