Measuring soil health properties represents a great opportunity to better understand how farm management practices impact key soil functions. Soil health testing builds on our current methods of soil testing to provide additional information to farmers. Rather than focusing solely on soil chemistry, additional biological and physical components of soil are incorporated into a common framework. Building and maintaining high functioning soils require that all three key components (chemistry, biology and physical structure) to be consciously managed and optimized. A team of researchers and educators will launch an eFields (OSU Extension on-farm research) study to evaluate how soil health indicators varied by depth of sampling and by past management practices such as no-till and cover cropping.
