2022/03/02

#RealisticRegenAg |We’re all tired of hearing the phrase “supply chain issues.” But we need to be ready. What do we do if we cannot get what is essential for our farm? In this episode I cover how to work through this. Key points: Soil tests will be critical for helping to allocate fertilizer. Crop plans may need to altered to grow crops that are less dependent on seasonal applications. If you have built your soil over the past 5-10 years you may be able mine the lower priced nutrients this

022 Potatoes, Tillage, & Soil Health

Plants Dig Soil™ ·

2021/09/01

#RealisticRegenAg | Given this new idea that tillage does not cause organic matter loss and my idea that cover crops are basically just putting carbon in its proper place, it follows that potatoes are not inherently bad for the soil. Their problem is they disturb this layering of organic matter that protects the surface. The goal, then, is to do what we can to keep as much organic matter in place as possible while growing the potatoes. Episode link:

Plants Dig Soil™ ·

2021/08/04

#RealisticRegenAg Now that we have a way to maximize the ground cover with green plants and having living roots growing as much as the heat and the moisture will allow, we can look at ways to supercharge the system. In this episode I’ll cover ways with and without animals to increase the capacity of the system.

020 Relay Seeding Cover Crops

Plants Dig Soil™ ·

2021/07/04

#RealisticRegenAg Relay cover cropping is simply deciding what we want to grow on the land rather than letting nature decide for us. Join me on this episode where I explain why I am convinced this is the best way to make cover cropping work in short growing seasons. To end the episode I'll go through an example rotation to help you get started while using existing equipment and inexpensive seed.

018 Three Pillars Propping Regen Ag

Plants Dig Soil™ ·

2021/05/09

#RealisticRegenAg The soil particles can only produce a small amount of the nutrients that we export in a year. The legacy nutrients can prop you up for a little while, but eventually you need nutrients brought back into the system. The dust bowl of the 1930s showed that tillage was not a source of inexhaustible nutrients. In this episode I will be arguing that we will be seeing the same thing show up in the 2030s – Only this time we will not be seeing soil blowing, we will be seeing crops fail as
