Organic Matter Can Improve Soil Structure
Organic matter provides binding compounds that create soil aggregates, reducing crusting and improving water and air entry. It increases pore openings and encourages soil organisms to decay residues into nitrate nitrogen, benefiting both large farms and small plots. Farmers commonly return crop residues to the soil by leaving them in the fields.

Lord Fairfax Community College students explain how farms maintain soil organic matter. Fertilizers, crop residues, reduced tillage, and animal wastes help prevent loss, while large residue inputs raise levels only in small areas and composting aids soil health.
