New research shows vermicomposting can significantly reduce antibiotic resistance genes in manure by reshaping microbial communities and blocking gene transfer.

Not just waste treatment. This is microbiome engineering for One Health.

Test your soil's pH! Is it acidic or alkaline? Veggies like spinach & beans prefer neutral to alkaline soil, while blueberries & potatoes love acidic conditions. Knowing your soil's pH helps you understand what grows happily & which plants need some help to be at their best! #gardening #soilhealth

Rotational grazing pilot fails to secure majority in committee and is laid over after tie House File 4388, a rotational grazing pilot program, was promoted by Representative Nelson with testimony from producers and farm groups; a division produced a 7-7 tie and the motion did not prevail, so the bill was laid over for future consideration.

A proposed rotational grazing pilot program in Minnesota faced a tie vote and was laid over, leaving farmers and advocates eager for its potential benefits to soil health and sustainability.
