No one size fits all solution to protect farm soil healthGrain farmers know soil health is important. Ottawa—There is no one size fits all approach to protecting soil health that will work on all farms across the country, says Jason Lenz, Chairman of the Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Crops (CRSC). Farmers know the importance of soil health and have adopted practices and invested in technology to improve it while reducing greenhouse gas emissions, Lenz told the Senate agriculture committee. There are many ways to achieve soil health and “certain practices should not be arbitrarily dismissed as inadequate or a specific practice selected as the only solution,” he said. No-till contributes significantly to carbon sequestration and soil health and helps producers’ financial viability and risk management goals.
