NRCS Answers Students' Questions About Soil

S.K.Worm teaches soils
It's a dirty job but someone has to do it -- S.K.Worm, the official annelid, or worm, of the Natural Resources Conservation Service answers students' questions about soil. Even their teachers can't wiggle their way out of this one! Slither your way through these soiled questions and earn a very special diploma. You might even get hooked on Soil!
