Official State Soil: Antigo
February 29th

Francis D. Hole, professor of soil science and geography at the University of Wisconsin, wrote many songs about soil including this one:

Darkle, Darkle
Darkle, darkle little grain.
I wonder how you entertain
A thousand creatures microscopic.
Grains like you from pole to tropic
Support land life upon this planet.
I marvel at you, crumb of granite!
