PROFILES IN SOIL HEALTH
Cain Creek Project, Beadle Conservation District
“The part that excites me most about what the district has with their land out here, is that we can use this as an opportunity to show producers that this stuff really works.” –-Kent Vlieger, USDA-NRCS State Soil Quality Specialist
The Beadle Conservation District’s 400-acre property, known as the Cain Creek Project, has in recent years become a demonstration resource showcasing grazing management and soil health practices. Watch and learn how the affects of different management is analyzed and data collected to help show producers what does and what may not work.
This Soil Story was produced as a result of an agreement with the USDA NRCS SD and the University of South Carolina in cooperation with the SD Soil Health Coalition, and SD Conservation Districts.
