  Thank you, friends, for the offer to assist.

  I'm back in my office where I have a copy. At the
  time of my request, I was working at home.

  Here is the text:

  "I am proud to introduce the Soil Biology Primer. The
  Soil Biology Primer represents a new era in our agency's
  soil science contributions to natural resource conservation.
  In the past we have focused primarily on the chemical
  and physical properties of soil. This publication highlights
  another integral component of soil, its biological features.
  The Primer explains the importance of biological functions
  for productive and healthy agricultural systems, rangelands,
  and forest lands."

  "The Soil Biology Primer is intended for farmers, ranchers,
  agricultural professionals, resource specialists, students,
  teachers, and NRCS conservationists, specialists, and soil
  scientists as a reference for enhanced understanding of the
  critical functions performed by soil life. I hope you enjoy
  reading about the fascinating diversity of soil life under
  our feet and gain a deeper appreciation of the intrinsic
  value of soil organisms to sustainable civilizations.
  Protecting our Nation's soil for future generations is of
  great importance."

  Pearlie S. Reed
  Chief
  Natural Resources Conservation Service
