About this listen

Ready to dig into the college sport you may have never heard of? Join Megan and Bailey as they dive into the competitive world of soil judging with two recent University of Minnesota soil judgers, Amital Shaver and Anna Windels. This episode unearths the surprisingly thrilling practice of evaluating soil profiles and interpreting various soil characteristics to make better land use management decisions. From digging deep into the properties of soils to the fascinating bond formed in a team activity (how many people do you know that can get so excited about exploring holes underground?), learn what makes soil judging not just a science, but an art. Get set for the landscape journey through a soil judger's eyes and personal stories that will make you see the ground beneath you in a whole new light.
