ESBON From No-Till on The Plains to the Kansas Grazing Lands Coalition, farmers and ranchers in Kansas are practicing and learning about soil health. The newly formed Kansas Soil Health Alliance is a non-profit organization that will serve as a digital library and education repository. We re kind of a database/library, said board member Cade Rensink, a fifth-generation rancher in Minneapolis.
Rensink, who also works for K-State Research & Extension as the director of the Central Kansas District in Saline and Ottawa counties, said board members of the newly formed non-profit will also offer knowledge and mentoring. Soil health is important for a number of reasons, Rensink said. Society, in general, is paying more attention to how food is grown.
