Soil health testing is an important tool for farmers and ranchers who want better information about what is happening beneath the surface. USDA’s CEMA 216 Soil Health Testing provides financial assistance through NRCS programs for evaluating the biological, chemical and physical characteristics of soil.

Regular testing can help producers track changes over time and better understand how management practices affect water infiltration, nutrient cycling, biological activity, erosion and overall soil function. The goal is to turn soil health measurements into useful information that can support better management decisions and more resilient agricultural operations.

A good reminder that you can't manage what you don't measure and healthy soil is one of a farm or ranch's most valuable resources. Read more:

USDA is funding soil health testing through CEMA 216 as part of a $700 million push to measure regenerative agriculture results on U.S. farms.
