This bill would create new ways for the government to measure and track soil health on farms and ranches across the country. It would require the Department of Agriculture to develop standard methods for measuring carbon in soil, set up a national network to monitor these changes, and build tools to predict how different farming practices affect soil carbon and greenhouse gases. This means farmers, ranchers, and researchers would have better information to improve soil health.
