If you take care of the soil, it will take care of you, explained fourth-generation Wessington Springs farmer, Dick Kolousek.
“The more we can do to keep the soil productive, the more the soil will produce – even in dry years,” Dick said during a Soil Health Tour held on his family farm and hosted by South Dakota Farmers Union and South Dakota Soil Health Coalition.
