The Soil Your Undies Challenge is a national event that has been brought to Montana! Northern Plains is challenging farmers, ranchers, and soil health enthusiasts across Montana to bury a pair of cotton underwear to promote soil health awareness. It’s a quick and dirty way to test the microbial activity in your soil. The more the underwear has deteriorated, the healthier your soil! Together, we’ll get curious about what is happening underground.
SJ 9 is a joint resolution introduced at the 2023 Montana Legislature that would designate the first week of April as “Montana Soil Health Week” and the Wednesday of that week as “Montana Soil Health Day”. The resolution intends to raise awareness of the importance of soil health, celebrate Montana’s agricultural producers, uplift Montana’s culture and legacy as an agricultural state, and promote the stewardship of Montana’s soils.
