American Farmland Trust has shared their Soil Health Case Study Tool Kit, which is a downloadable folder of documents that provides everything you need to produce your own soil health economic and environmental case study featuring a “soil health successful” producer. The toolkit includes the R-SHEC Tool, questionnaire, training videos, guidance on how to conduct water quality and greenhouse gas outcomes analysis, guidance on how to write a case study, and so much more. This September 2022 update to the Tool Kit reflects updated prices in both the almond and row crop R-SHEC tools and the addition of barley, corn silage, grain sorghum, and oats to the row crop R-SHEC Tool. New tips have also been added to better assist users. Gain access to the toolkit.
