Cotton Soil Health Project
Inspired by the potential of emerging science and technology, Wrangler formed a coalition of industry, academic and nonprofit partners to assist and encourage U.S. cotton growers to adopt best practices for soil health. Conservation tillage, crop rotation and cover cropping, when used together, improve yield, while decreasing the need for inputs such as water, energy, and chemicals. Launched in 2017, with one large, family farm, the Wrangler Soil Health Project now works with five farmers across five states.

Engagement Targets
Notes: (1) I Minor fluctuations in the number of retained growers is expected from year to year. These fluctuations may be due to year-over-year crop rotation effects or other factors beyond the control of the project. Enrolled acres represent the total number of acres on an individual farm in a specific year. The ability to report enrolled acres is based on the Fieldprint Project Standard requirement that individual growers enrolled in projects enter at least 10% of the acres managed for a specific crop. (2) Entered acres represent the actual number of enrolled acres for which data is entered in the Fieldprint Platform for analysis.
