Do you have biology in your fields? The importance of #SoilMicroorganisms can’t be overstated. A healthy soil microbiome leads to healthy plants and a good #CropYield.
A strong microbiome with a complete #SoilFoodWeb increases the nutritional profile of your crop. It also creates richer soil so you leave a legacy to your grandchildren.
How to Get and Keep Healthy Soil Food Web
There are a number of steps a new regenerative farmer takes to get that food web complete.
1. It is increased with no-till or conservation tillage.
2. #CoverCrops and cash crops go together, the soil is covered 365 days a year.
3. Native flowers added to borders, buffers, and any edges attract pollinators and beneficial insects.
4. Mimic nature as much as possible. Nature doesn’t plant monocrops.
5. Rotate crops and add livestock to your rotation. Sowing a cornfield to pasture for a couple years in your rotation adds nutrients from manure, creates a more diverse microbiome, and gives you a second revenue stream.
Does this Sound overwhelming?
It is the farming of the future. Why?
In long- running field trials at Rodale regen corn outperformed conventional by 28-34% in drought years. Is more drought coming?
Mob grazing cattle and chicken tractors create fertile soil and keep livestock on pasture longer, less hay. Better ROI.
Regenerative ag is socially responsible. That’s important for the market because 82% of all consumers believe your product is higher quality (and it is!).
Simply put, regenerative farming is where the money’s at. It doesn’t matter what you produce, consumers want the sources of their clothes, footwear, bed linens, and cosmetics to be free of synthetic chemicals.
Cotton fields, #IndustrialHemp fields, vegetable and fruit production, commodities, and livestock are all under scrutiny by the Millenials and GenZ generations.
