Thank you so much. #savetheplanet 1 farmer at a time.
The experiment in the tubes of water, theres a incomplete picture here, when looking at a soil profile you have sand silt and clay with minerals like magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, potassium, how much carbonates are there? Depleted soils usually are depleted on the top 6 inches +/- an inch, below that there is usually an abundance of minerals and carbonates, what is the potential hydrogen of this soil? How much Co2 and oxygen is in that soil? How much CO is in the soil? What kind of profile are you trying to achieve? What kind of crops are you planning on planting? Cover crops stop erosion, cattle help build soil, radiation from the sun sterilizes bare soil, everybody should know that, but what most farmers are having problems with is air in the soil/permeability and water retention, the mineral profile of soil gives a picture of these potentials, it would be helpful to have given some more analysis of the soil for this experiment.
A good synopsis of everything Illinois farmers-don’t do.
Excellent,well explained. Thank you.
nobody took any crop off the hedge row for years and it probably got fert to boot
I am a mechanic of many years ... not high end but have customers... don't trust people with health if they have a big stomach .........
Weird assumption some people have about having or not having soil health expertise.
@@k-c As someone who has studied psychology for 37 years, I would argue that assumption is not unfounded. In my experience, it is more often the case than not.
He eats good 👍 that's a good sign
Where do we find the green lacewing mix?
Crop plants maintain a "rhizosphere", or a concentrated area of microbial activity close to the root. The rhizosphere is the most active part of the soil ecosystem because it is where the most readily available food is, and where peak nutrient and water cycling occurs. Microbial food is exuded by crop roots to attract and feed microbes that in turn provide nutrients (and other compounds) to the plant at the root-soil interface where the plants can take them up. Since living roots provide the easiest source of food for soil microbes, growing long lived roots that feed the foundation species of the soil food web as much as possible during the growing season should be a goal of farmers seeking a productive and profitable crop. Roots associated with SWRT membranes have been shown to last all season long, contributing greatly to the improvement of soil quality because they have the nutrients and moisture they need.
Good explanation. But how a farmer will be keeping living roots in commercial orchards without digging soil...?? Also please can you explain how water cycle is high in rhizosphere. Thanks
Why no till and use toxic chemicals? GO ORGANIC please!
WOW, man some good stuff
Thank you for sharing excellent information. From Punjab India.
Please come and attend our 5th Annual Soil Health Workshop on Feb 18th in Richfield Utah or Feb 19th in Brigham City Utah. The workshop is open to the public and registration is free. Come listen to national and local farmer and experts using soil health toimrpove their soils and their bottom line, a free lunch will be provided. Register online at www.utahsoilhealth.org/2019-workshops.
