Tuesday, December 8, 2020; 3:00PM ET | 2:00PM CT | 1:00PM MT | 12:00 noon PT

Top soil, along with sunlight and water, is fundamental to agriculture. But, the United States Department of Agriculture estimates that we lose an average of 2.7 tons of top soil per acre to water erosion and 2.1 tons to wind erosion every year.
