🌱 Why Soil Health Matters
“The top six inches of soil sustain nearly all life on earth.”
Modern farming techniques have stripped the soil of many vital nutrients, disrupting natural ecosystems and weakening the nutritional quality of vegetation. This decline doesn’t just affect crops—it impacts the entire food chain, including the wildlife that relies on those plants for sustenance.
Healthy soil leads to healthier deer and, ultimately, a more balanced environment for all. Pointers Specialty Deer Mineral was developed to help restore this natural balance by replenishing key minerals in the soil and supporting long-term herd vitality.
