Answer
The digging done by earthworms leads to aeration and drainage of the soil. In addition, plant nutrients are released from harvest residues that have passed through the earthworms' intestines. Farmers can encourage earthworms by supplying large amounts of organic material and by using less disruptive soil tillage.
