PIERRE â Just in time for the holidays, the South Dakota Soil Health Coalition (SDSHC) has released the perfect stocking stuffer for kids â a fun, educational and agriculturally accurate childrenâs book titled, âThe Soil Quilt.â
Geared for third graders, âThe Soil Quiltâ uses the metaphor of a patchwork quilt that layers the planet to explain how a healthy soil covers the landscape.
âSDSHC did a survey with vocational ag teachers and students, and one of the takeaways was that the earlier we start teaching students about soil health, the greater impact it will have,â SDSHC Coordinator Cindy Zenk said. âSo we decided to create a book to help children learn about the importance of soil to our lives and our communities. We hope children will learn that what happens in the soil not only produces our food but also creates the diverse landscape we enjoy, strengthens our families and builds our communities.â

Doing what is right, even when it’s hard, is the cowboy code, and that’s always been the focus of the BEEF Daily blog.
Warning this blog post may “trigger” some folks, and if it does, I’m probably not going to be the blogger you’ll want to read regularly, and that’s okay.
In 13 years of writing for BEEF, I’ve made countless friends across the country, but opining on the beef industry has also earned me a long list of haters. I guess that’s what happens when you spend your entire adult career asking hard questions and pushing back against the popular narrative being pushed in today’s culture.
