In this episode, Nina Prater, a soil specialist with NCAT’s ATTRA sustainable agriculture program, sits down for a conversation with NCAT Southeast Regional Director Margo Hale to talk about the basic principles of soil health and to go over the five soil health principles that farmers and ranchers can follow to regenerate soil to a healthy, productive condition. Margo is a livestock specialist, and she earned two degrees in Animal Science without a single soil class. Nina tries to remedy this around the office on a regular basis, so they decided to record one of these conversations. Margo and Nina both work out of NCAT’s regional office in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

For more information about the principles of soil health, you can contact Nina Prater directly at ninap@ncat.org and Margo Hale at margoh@ncat.org.
