Benchmarking and Integrating Soil Health, Water Quality and Climate-Smart Footprints of Illinois Soybeans
This multi-year project will identify soil health, water quality and climate footprint best practices and metrics across regions and cropping systems (soy and double-cropped wheat, soy rotated with corn). Findings will inform practice-based recommendations that protect soil health and water quality, as well as provide insights farmers can use as they navigate carbon markets.
