A new study finds implementing soil health systems on farms has both economic and environmental benefits.
Wayne Honeycutt is president and CEO of the Soil Health Initiative. “Eighty-five percent of the farmers who were growing corn and eighty-eight percent of farmers growing soybeans increased their net farm income from using these soil health systems,” he says.
He tells Brownfield there were several factors that contributed to the rise in net farm income, including a big reduction in input costs.
