Triway Case Study

“Drainage patterns, the hilliness of the ground, the range of soils, the nature of the bedrock,

For at least one hundred miles inland, flat land and swamps were all around. Stated in Document B “It is remarkable for the diversity of its soil; that near the coast is generally sandy, but not therefore unfruitful; in other parts there is clay, loam, and marl; I have seen of the soil some high bluffs, near the sides of the rivers, that exactly resembles castile soap, and is not less variegated with red and blue veins, nor less clammy.” Basically, this quote is saying that near the swamps it was harder to grow their crops because of the different types of soil, like clay for example. Also back then it would be harder to identify the different kinds of

You are getting hands on experience working with farmers and helping with conservation practices. When you go on a farm and take soil samples for a farmer or check out a waste management units or cross fencing, you are getting to see how a farmer is trying to keep waste area to a minimum or increase the ton per acre for forage, even how they are trying to increase the amount of nutrients for their amount.

A full time educator, Torguson works during the summer for the Medford Opportunity Program. An in-house school for at risk youth in Medford, Oregon. As he was to work with students studying biology, Torguson decided to do more than just have the students plant seeds and watch them grow while making note of environmental conditions. A social studies professional, Torguson designed curricula around history and geography as well as science. A major component was to reach out to “famous” places around the country asking for “dirt” samples.

I watched a Ted Talk on YouTube called Ted x Huntsville, it was presented by Karen Wynne and was published October 1st, 2014. The topic that Wynne talked about was the concept of stopping treating soil like dirt. She started by stating a quote by Leonardo Da Vinci that said: “We know more about the celestial bodies than the soil under our feet”. This was an interesting way of introducing her talk since after saying we near nothing about earth she begun to tell us the difference between soil and dirt introducing the topic at hand. For soil she gave the basic definition that it was a mixture of sand, silt, and clay plus air holes, water, and organic matter and as for dirt she just simply washed her hands on her shirt as if it was nothing after playing with the soil. So, already she was hands on and showed that we humans don’t really care about our soil.

The soil is mostly known in Wisconsin for the characteristics of being productive, well-drained, and a soil with a

The state of Texas is home to over a variety of different types of soil. There are over 1,300 different kinds of soil in Texas alone. Due to the fact that most of our land is used for farming, our soil is one of the most important resources. Texas is known for its diverse climate and landscape, so each part of the state has a particular soil to mirror what is needed. Texas has over twenty one divisions of major land reasource areas that have similar or related uses. Here are some examples of the different types of soils.

The soft soil, which crumbles in your hand, is the deepest shade of ruddy red and will smell like the fresh scent of life producing earth beneath your feet. This nutrient dense soil contrasts so starkly against the nearby heavy green clover fields and emerald forests that lie between. As you gaze upon this scenic landscape and fruitful soil you will be reminded of how she lends herself to the seasoned farmers that rely so heavily upon her to yield a plenteous harvest in the coming

The town of Putney is situated in the south eastern corner of Vermont, in the Connecticut River Valley. Although the town occupies just 26.8 square miles, the diversity of its soils is remarkable. The variation of Putney’s soils has led to a wide range of land uses depending on the soil type, and its position on the landscape. By exploring the factors that contributed to the formation of Putney’s soils, and by discussing the characteristics of those soils, this paper will explain the significance of the town’s land use.

Look around you; do you think that we need soil in our everyday lives? Sure we do. Natural flowing water is filtered through the soil thus making it drinkable. We breathe the air that is produced by plants that grow in soil. Our clothes wouldn’t be made if the cotton plant had no soil to grow in.
