🌱 Why Healthy Soil Matters on the Prairies
Healthy soil isn’t a buzzword — it’s a yield and profit stabilizer in Western Canadian agriculture.
✔️ More consistent yields in wet and dry years
✔️ Improved moisture infiltration and storage
✔️ Better fertilizer efficiency
✔️ Stronger roots and active soil biology
✔️ Reduced wind and water erosion
✔️ Lower long-term input costs
💧 Research shows that even small increases in soil organic matter can significantly improve water-holding capacity, often cited in the range of 15,000–25,000 gallons per acre, depending on soil type.
Bottom line:
Healthy soils help crops handle stress, make inputs work harder, and protect long-term productivity in Prairie conditions.
