The HAT Soil Health Podcast- Fred Woods, Indiana Conservation Leader

“You can work really hard all day long and enjoy every minute of it.”

That is part of the legacy of Fred Woods, a leader in Indiana conservation. He mentored hundreds of conservation professionals as he worked for the Soil Conservation Service in Martin County. After he retired, he continued to serve the community by planting trees. 

On this episode, Barry Fisher, independent soil health consultant, and Chris Lee, with the Natural Resources Conservation Service, share memories of Fred Woods, a man who heard Hugh Hammond Bennett speak on his North Carolina farm, then went on to influence conservation in Indiana.

This episode of the HAT Soil Health Podcast is brought to you by the Conservation Cropping Systems Initiative. You can learn more about their efforts and see a schedule of events at ccsin.org.
