A Farmer's Guide to Measuring Soil Organic Carbon

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is one of the clearest indicators of long-term soil health. It affects water retention, nutrient availability, and how resilient your farm is to drought.

Through the SOC Program, farmers get access to zoning, field mapping, and monitoring tools that make it possible to track carbon levels across every plot — not just estimate them.

Regular monitoring, paired with practices like cover cropping and reduced tillage, is the fastest path to measurable improvement season over season.
