Farmer participants in groups A, B & C will receive a free comprehensive soil health test report. Farmer participants in groups B & C will receive annual $200 honorarium for each field enrolled in the study and a carbon intensity report for their two selected fields. Farmers in groups B & C will have the opportunity to network with other farmers, members from various commodity groups in Michigan, and researchers.
What indicators will the soil health test report include
A routine nutrient test report, pH, texture, soil respiration (similar to the Solvita test), permanganate oxidizable carbon (active carbon), autoclaved-citrate extractable protein (organically bound pool of nitrogen) and enzymatic activity (indicative of microbial activity and nutrient cycling).
