A soil scientist based in north-central Missouri says precision grid sampling is one way farmers along the Missouri River address soil health.
Meagan Kaiser, the chair of the United Soybean Board, tells Brownfield this tool helps better manage nutrients.
“That really helps us see where the river has made deposits in the past and manage the farm at a micro level.”
Kaiser says implementing other soil health management tools, like cover crops, gets tricky along the river.
