Super Soil - Why is Soil So Important?

Why is soil so important and how do farmers test the quality of the soil on their farm?
This resource provides an introduction to soil plus 7 on farm activities that allow students to assess the quality and type of the soil on a farm. Using the information from the 7 activities students can look at how the soil could be improved and what crops are best grown on the farm.
