Soil Properties & Web Soil Survey

New this fall, Lucas SWCD is hosting a series of classes aimed at providing information to help you improve your soil in the garden or on your farm! All classes are free to attend and will be held at our office in Toledo, Ohio.

On November 12th, during Ohio Soil Health Week, we will
welcome Derrick Freshcorn from USDA NRCS as our guest speaker. Derrick is a Wetland/Soil Conservationist Compliance Specialist for the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS). During his class, he will walk through a soil analysis using Web Soil Survey and other visual demonstrations using soil samples.

Derrick is originally from Hardin County, where he grew up around agriculture. He earned a Bachelor of Science from The Ohio State University, majoring in plant pathology and minoring in soil. He presently works on Farm Bill Compliance for NRCS and was formerly a soil scientist at the state office.
