Season 1 Episode 2 - Soil Health and Water Quality

Understanding how soil health impacts water qualtiy starts with understanding where and how water flows across the landscape - where and water can pick up pollutants - has an impact on surface water quality.

Past American Soybean Association Conservation Legacy Award winner Mark Legan understands this concept.

“I look out the window at our office, and we are 100-yards from two watersheds. On our main sow barn, the east side of the roof flows into the Mill Creek watershed, and the west side of the roof flows into the Big Walnut here in Putnam County. There’s not a doubt in my mind that we can impact those watersheds and there are things we can do to improve the water that comes off both sides of that roof – through technology, through implementing various conservation practices we work to do that." - Mark Legan
