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.
Join Northern Plains Resource Council for Digging Deeper: Cultivating Lessons Learned and New Ideas in Soil Health. At this event, we’ll look back over the last seven years of soil crawls, and dig into a conversation on the future of Montana’s soil health.
Join us this summer on a Montana farm or ranch for a soil crawl! Come learn from innovative producers showcasing the practices and principles that help them generate healthy soil, resilient crops and animals, and good food!
