🌱🔬 Hands-On Learning in Soil Science! 🔬🌱
Students in the Agribusiness Technology Program at Randolph Community College are getting their boots dirty and learning the importance of proper soil sampling!
Soil sampling is the first step to smart nutrient management. Our students practiced:
✅ Collecting representative soil cores
✅ Proper sampling depth and technique
✅ Creating composite samples
✅ Understanding soil test reports
✅ Making fertilizer and lime recommendations
Why does it matter? Because accurate soil sampling leads to better crop yields, improved soil health, and cost-effective fertilizer use. 🌾💧
In agriculture, everything starts from the ground up — and our students are learning how to manage it the right way!

🌱 Soil Science in Action at Randolph Community College! 🌱
Students in the Agribusiness Technology program have been digging into soil science—literally and figuratively! This week we explored soil profiles and how water and nutrients move through the soil, along with key concepts like porosity and permeability and why they matter for crop production and soil health.
Hands-on learning like this helps students understand what’s happening below the surface and how it impacts real-world agriculture every day. 🚜🌾
