This is such an excellent overview with enough substance & background references. The Q&A session felt like you were all in same room and wonderfully complementary to & building off each other.
Stay in touch and we will definitely keep you posted on future course discounts. In the meantime, perhaps you’d like to subscribe to our UA-cam so you can continue to enjoy the free content we are producing! We also put out blogs and are working on a newsletter!
As a current student almost finished with the course, I can say it is definitely worth it! Dr. Elaine does a wonderful job teaching the material, there’s a tremendous amount of information, and I would say it is college level at less than half the price! I will be making a career out of it and feel well supported! Good luck!
40:15 I've never come across any scientific literature supporting the assertion that high brix makes plants immune or directly affects insect herbivory and parasitism so I find this topic very interesting because it is talked about often. I agree with the idea that more photosynthate is almost always a good thing and that it powers primary and secondary metabolism but when I have looked for examples I mainly found studies like, "Leaf sap brix and leafhoppers in vineyards" from the Organic Farming Research Foundation in 1996 saying: "Results compiled during this rigorous two-year empirical study of eight San Joaquin Valley vineyards (including five organic operations) provide no consistent support for the alleged predictive Brix / leafhopper relationship as it has been widely promoted in recent years. In only two of the eight vineyard field sites were data patterns even moderately similar to those expected from the story. More importantly, data patterns for the other six vineyard sites were either in direct opposition or essentially neutral with respect to the alleged Brix / leafhopper relationship." I couldn't find any sources for this in the video Dr. Cole mentions but if anyone has some I would be interested to read them. 1:50:42 I am only familiar with literature showing a positive correlation between sugar content and aphid abundance. In my insect physiology courses I learned from researchers like Dr. Angela Douglas that aphids can sustain more than 30% brix according to research like "Honeydew sugars and osmoregulation in the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum". I wonder what other factors influence this relationship to brix level. Thanks for investigating further!
It was through Why insects do not (and cannot) attack healthy plants | Dr. Thomas Dykstra | Regenerative Ag which talked about Brix that lead me recently to the "Soil Food Web". Weekends are my time for watching UA-cam. In small ways I am implementing bits into the garden where I am living. It is a rental, so I am limited. Will be implementing on the one acre in Central Queensland block that we own. Good to hear from, Graham Lancaster, as I grew up on the North Coast of NSW.
Yes & no. It is a narrow shank that does minimal disturbance and can be used as deep as subsoiler. Fascinating history invented and widely used in Australia to help water retention in soil & distribution across a landscape.
I'm just wondering how to do cover crops because if you chop them then they turn into putrifying anaerobic slime that you can't plant in, then what are you supposed to do???? Put the clippings in the compost pile? But the soil needs to be mulched by the clippings, right, but it turns bad and not good to plant seeds in? Confused. Put the clippings in the compost pile then cover the soil with compost as the mulch and plant the seeds in the compost?
Tax breaks for farmers to sell their farm into small tracts less than 250 acres to beginning farmers. Help transfer land tax free to heirs who want to farm, beginning, or small farmers before the older farmer dies. The younger generations are more likely to change how land is farmed. Don't allow investors who have not previously farmed, don't currently farm, and won't farm to buy farm land. Helps keep farm land affordable for people who want to farm.

Thank you very much for your effort to teach us on the wonders of soil.
Hoping to get the money to take the course someday. Would love to know more

Is the yeoman plough different than a subsoiler ?
Yes & no. It is a narrow shank that does minimal disturbance and can be used as deep as subsoiler. Fascinating history invented and widely used in Australia to help water retention in soil & distribution across a landscape.

What legislation is needed for healthy Soil in mane stream agriculture
Tax breaks for farmers to sell their farm into small tracts less than 250 acres to beginning farmers. Help transfer land tax free to heirs who want to farm, beginning, or small farmers before the older farmer dies. The younger generations are more likely to change how land is farmed.
Don't allow investors who have not previously farmed, don't currently farm, and won't farm to buy farm land. Helps keep farm land affordable for people who want to farm.
Dr. Elaine and Dr. Godschlax went to D.C. to discuss regen ag last year, here is a blog post about their trip: www.soilfoodweb.com/dr-elaine-dc2021/
According to transcript at 39:12, Dr Thomas “Desicca”. Could you please verify spelling? Cant find the UA-cams referenced. Thanks!

Does this biology help with freezing points as well? In other words, help plants and trees survive a few degrees less than without the biology.

Question: how do you manage slugs and snails?
same concept of biodiversity, predators like larvae of Lampyridae. Use plants that repel them. Work with a healthy soil with microorganisms that kill them.
I would say by having birds,ducks,chickens stuff like that
@@wenareconchetumare and where earthworms will go?
@@dalbirbeniwal4057 well u dont need 1000 birds, a few will do the job without crating imbalance just like u need insects
A tuna can filled with beer! They love it, but the get drunk and drown in it.

really dont need to see speaker talking, would rather see larger charts and papers. only trying to help not criticizing.
I do need, cant focus only in a paper without watching the person thats talking

I learned about microbes 🦠 from Jeff Lowenfels
😊
Yes, Jeff Lowenfel's books are a great place to start learning about microbes!
