A U-S Department of Agriculture grant of $95 million was recently awarded to the Farmers for Soil Health initiative.  The funding comes from USDA’s new Partnerships for Climate Smart Commodities program.  Jack Cornell, United Soybean Board Director of Sustainable Supply, explains.  Farmers for Soil Health is a joint effort by the United Soybean Board, National Corn Growers Association and the National Pork Board.  Cornell calls the partnership an exciting collaboration.  Cornell says the grant could also support other conservation and marketing programs benefitting farmers through their soybean checkoff.  More information about the USDA grant is available on the United Soybean Board website at unitedsoybean.org.
