Soils and Spuds: There's no single prescription for soil health
Kate VanderZaag and her husband both had degrees in crop science; they knew a lot about crop nutrition and pest management, and they knew how to grow great potatoes. And then, Kate had an epiphany about soil: It's alive! It's complex! And there's no single prescription for improving the soil in every field, every year! This awareness now fuels her passion for protecting the land, their most precious resource, so they can keep growing potatoes for generations to come.

Soils and Spuds: Trying new tools to preserve soil biology
Переглядів 4824 місяці тому
It can be hard to build soil health while fighting aggressive pests and diseases. But thanks to a McCain Innovation Hub on his farm, Brett Reynolds is finding that new potato varieties may allow him to swap out fumigation for chemistries that aren't so hard on soil microbes. Resistant varieties are one more tool that's allowing him to build soil health so he can grow the best potato. The Soil H...
Soils and Spuds: Unfamiliar territory with cover crops

Cover crops had been part of Austin Poulson's potato operation for over a decade. But bringing livestock into the mix? That was uncharted territory. Thanks to a McCain Innovation Hub on his farm, Poulson has seen that reducing tillage and integrating livestock can improve water infiltration, soil structure, and grow a better potato crop. The Soil Health Institute thanks McCain Foods for the fin...
Soils and Spuds: Exploring alternatives to fumigation

Pests and disease make it a challenge to keep the potato crop alive. But with support from McCain, Kiley Stucker has been growing green manures for biofumigation to improve soil health while avoiding fumigants that hurt the soil microbiome. The results are promising, and these kinds of partnerships ensure that both growers and processors can learn and benefit while reducing risk. The Soil Healt...

    I've been farming since i was 17...41 now. All this is great. cover crops...organic matter. very important. what's not talked about is re-mineralization. If you've been farming an area for more then 5+ years and not putting those major macro and micro nutrients back....back more living compost isn't gonna help. The biology is crucial but if the minerals arnt there for them to chelate and turn those minerals into a bioavailable forms that thevplants can't take up. The clay sand and silt should have enough minerals to sustain plant growth with enough organic material. but if you keep farming out all those minerals year after year without putting it back....all the organic matter in the world isn't gonna help. organic matter , keeping living roots in the ground using cover crops but adding back the minerals is the other part that's needed.

    Traditional farming communities in Korea developed a system called JADAM, which has been proven to be used to make the land more alive. Namely maximizing the use of plants that have certain ingredients that are adapted to local conditions, livestock manure, mineral salt water, and other materials that are easily available nearby, then connected and integrated with the food chain system between plants, animals and humans, including the use of microorganisms. . I have started applying it to several areas of land that have been damaged, because the humus has been lost due to mining activities on the island of Kalimantan, where the condition of the soil is very similar to the condition of dry desert soil and is almost rocky. This effort is showing very good results and if this is tried to be applied on the African continent and other desert lands, it seems that it will slowly improve naturally and bring benefits that move very quickly. Greetings from me in Indonesia and it would be very good if the JADAM system which was pioneered by agricultural experts in Korea is implemented. Please see this method which has been widely broadcast on many UA-cam channels, as a reference. Good luck and greetings to a healthy and green earth.

    the farming on land also has a direct impact on the health of the oceans that surround the area...as an oyster farmer you fight with the health of your animals and water quality issues your entire career.by cleaning up land farming practices you will also help fisherman increase their productivity, with less disease and mortality issues.

And alternatives in minds . its a very sad situation 90% of tv FM frequency's owned and controlling by out siders using inside frog mentality frogs. saddest situation going on everywhere.... but they are so scientific modern society lovers and guys only front t of majority and domestic culture and low cost sustainable stable alternative's.. ..

    It is high time people begin to understand the cognitive dissonance associated with Animal Agriculture. Animal Agriculture is energy intensive and the single largest form of oppression man has ever used. A new scientific paper is out explains in great detail about how animal fat, plug cells, arteries, and digestion causing all forms of inulin resistance (DIABETES). This also leads to most chronic disease, heart disease, high blood pressure, planet degradation, water destruction, and eco system imbalance. These tests were first used in lab rats in 1922. Drinking another mammals lactations is weird when any rational is applied. Worse is the level of antibiotics and hormones' used in the animals you consume. Do you support Animal Abuse? Animal Agriculture is responsible for at least 80% of our climate issues!
