Dr. Abbey Wick spent 11-plus years as an Extension soil specialist at North Dakota State University before joining Syngenta as its global soil health outreach program manager a year ago. In this podcast, Wick said the issue of soil health is becoming mainstream. “People are realizing that to do soil health you don’t have to adopt all five principles that are out there. You can just make steps in the right direction, if you’re considering that soil and protecting that resource while continuing to farm and support your business. I think that everybody a big sigh of relief that the expectation doesn’t have to be for this golden system that works for some farms and there is a variation that works for every farm.” Watch the interview or listen to the podcast.
