From the Ground Up: Ohio farms lead new $10M soil health...
In the heart of Ohio’s dairy country, farmers like Greg Steffen and Scott Stoller are moving beyond guesswork to discover how intensive cropping affects their land’s future. Through a $10 million USDA-funded project called "From the Ground Up," these producers are collaborating with Ohio State University researchers to design real-world trials on their own acreage. By prioritizing farmer-led questions over lab-controlled experiments, the initiative aims to find actionable ways to balance high-yield production with lasting soil health.
