Full disclosure, I work with a few soil scientists and I now understand how critical it is that we know the potential of the land if we're relying on it to produce ag or to be used as rangeland.

A monty python meme, in which a man pretends to be a burglar so he can sell something to a woman. Panel 1: - Burglar, madam - What do you want? - I want to come in an steal a few things, madam Panel 2: - I think you're a soil scientist - Oh, I'm not, open the door, let me in please - If I let you in you'll sell me soil analysis Panel 3: - I wont madam, I just want to come in and ransack the flat. Honestly. Panel 4: - Promise. No soil analysis? - none at all. - you'd better come in then Panel 5: - Mind you, I dknot know whether you've really considered the advantages of measuring the texture, color, rock frgments and other key soil properties to identify your soil and ecological site Panel 6: Man is falling from a building

Soil science is dope as hell and extremely underappreciated.

Back in the day (1999?) I loosely helped with some basic stuff on the NSCSS website on a volunteer basis. I didn't realize they rolled into the larger SSSA in 2011.
