Get Your Hands Dirty: The Science of Soil Judging
Soil judging has long been an essential field technique that many have utilized to determine best uses for their their land. As soil judgers, we enter soil pits to analyze soils and reach conclusions for agricultural, construction, and conservation purposes. Soil judging communities exist throughout the nation in collegiate teams, and throughout the world in international teams. Being able to read and interpret the land can provide a connection with nature, a network of people who appreciate the science, and a great skill.
