• Commercial soil has 1% or less

LOSS OF SOIL

We lost 2 inches of topsoil in Kansas cropland during the winter of 95-96. This

is equivalent to 263 tons of topsoil per acre. To give you perspective this is six

(6) semi-truck loads per acre.

We’ve lost 9 million acres across the United States just in the last two (2) years.
