Increasing soil organic matter is difficult. How difficult? Here are the numbers: To increase SOM 1%➡️1.1% (=11 tons in top 6"), with 1%/yr loss, requires ~6.7 tons/ac biomass = 223 corn or 239 bu/ac wheat crops. See my calculations, do your own...csanr.wsu.edu/putting-number…

Wow, I didn't realize that inter-seeding was a thing back then. Stumbling onto historical research on green manure crops is what got me interested in cover crops. I realized we left a lot of tools behind in the haste to scale up agriculture

Our West Point office came across this photo from 1960. The caption says, "... (farmer) drills in a cover crop of rye and vetch in late August each year. Drill was built in farm shop. This cropping system has been used for the past 7 years. Yields have increased each year.” #TBT

A lot of you are referring to the lack of insects in the UK this spring, and referring to a 'silent spring'. Let us turn back to Rachel Carson's 'Silent Spring', the 61 year old book that coined the phrase & brought public attention to the ecological impact of pesticides.

@GreenSquareAC @blonglet The tillage paradox! "Dad, why do we need to cultivate" "To soften the soil" "How does it get so hard?" "Too much cultivation!"

Wendell Berry sums up our current health predicament perfectly... “People are fed by the food industry, which pays no attention to health, and are treated by the health industry, which pays no attention to food.”

Attempting to hoard as much organic matter as possible in the soil, like a miser hoarding gold, is not the correct answer. Organic matter functions mainly as it is decayed and destroyed. Its value lies in its dynamic nature. —William Albrecht, 1938
