Get Your Hands Dirty: The Science of Soil Judging
Soil judging has long been an essential field technique that many have utilized for interpreting what the land can best be used for. As soil judgers, we enter into soil pits to analyze the vast qualities that our soils have within them and with this delineation we can reach conclusions for uses such as agriculture, construction, and conservation. Soil judging communities exist all throughout the nation in our collegiate teams and throughout the world in our international teams. Being able to read and interpret the land can provide a connection with nature, a network of people who appreciate the science, and a great skill.
