Happy #WorldSoilDay! Today, we’re excited to share how we’re taking our first steps toward deeply understanding and improving the soil at our Mount St. Helens farm. Soil is a powerful ally, and healthy, carbon-rich soils are the bedrock of sustainable agriculture and thriving ecosystems.
We’ve partnered with the forward-thinking team at EarthOptics to measure our soil’s current carbon levels and overall health. With EarthOptics trusted accuracy in measuring, reporting, and verifying soil carbon content, we’re gaining the insights needed to help ensure our soil is capturing and storing carbon for years to come.
Why does this matter?
Healthier Soil & Ecosystems: Carbon-rich soils support biodiversity, improve soil structure, enhance nutrient cycling, and increase water retention—key benefits for long-term sustainability.
Economic and Market Opportunities: With accurate soil data, growers and ranchers can access premiums, participate in carbon credit programs, and supply low-carbon feedstocks, ultimately encouraging the growth of climate-smart commodities and products.
But this is just the beginning. Our journey doesn’t end with a single measurement. We’ll be monitoring our soil health over the years to come, ensuring that we’re making informed decisions that lead to healthier land, thriving biodiversity, and positive contributions to the earth.
Join us in celebrating #WorldSoilDay. It’s not only about what’s beneath our feet—it’s about what we can build for future generations.
