Putting Farmers First: The Farmers for Soil Health Approach
In this episode of The Grow Down on Soil Health, we sit down with Jack Cornell, Director of Supply Chain Resilience at the United Soybean Board (USB), to explore how farmer stewardship and sustainable supply chains are at the heart of Farmers for Soil Health. Jack shares how his personal journey, from Ohio to Hawaii and back, shaped his passion for conservation, and even how his tradition of “Hawaiian Shirt Fridays” reflects a bigger story about connection, community, and stewardship.
Jack and host Ben West, Executive Director of Farmers for Soil Health, dive into what sets the program apart from other initiatives, how it directly supports farmers across regions, and the resources available to help producers adopt or expand practices like cover crops.
