Illinois farmers interested in soil health will soon have a
larger voice in policy discussions.
Liz Rupel with the Illinois Stewardship Alliance tells Brownfield they are starting a new Soil Health Champion Caucus comprised mainly of farmers.
“We felt that decisions have always been made maybe without farmers present at the table. We wanted to change that and invite farmers to be a part of the conversation.”
She says they want to show that there is a soil health
community that can create change.
