There is no better place to understand soil health than seeing it first hand. Walk with Glen Rabenberg as he visits Mikkonen Organic Farms in north central South Dakota. Mikkonen Farms produces oats, barley and edible beans and has been certified organic since 1989. In this video Glen Rabenberg discusses and shows in the field the importance of soil gas exchange and the symptoms a deficiency in oxygen can cause. Topics covered included organic weed control, nutrient density, calcium, excess salts, and more. Take the concepts to the field with this one of a kind look into soil health.

Green manure, my grandad swore by it in the 60s. The science is proving him right in the 2000s. Produce, fallow, produce.

When are you going to start selling biochar pellets for cows to eat and drop on the field?

@hanzketchup859 23 дня назад

Yes, the professors are very well educated, and withhold information, but that’s only half of it, they can’t speak plain English and they don’t or can’t offer a wide spectrum of solutions. What I’d like to see from the colleges is to match the time they spend talking about agriculture with action, not just a test plot, but actually go help farmers in the field, farmers might appreciate it, if they ask politely first and present a comprehensive proposal in writing.

Check your soil PH / NPK levels and get a penetrometer...If you have little compaction get a rear tine tiller if it's really compacted run a tractor with a subsoiler through your garden (or get a smaller ATV hitch sub soiler / ripper)

@robertfulton7118 2 месяца назад

So how do I fix my pasture and grazing land?

@moogman5 29 дней назад

Buy a penetrometer, take measurements, and break up your compacted soil with a chisel point subsoiler / ripper (as many points as your tractor can handle (about 70hp per deep chisel))...take more measurements with penetrometer....wait

I’m no till organic, cover crop, and controlled traffic. After 22 years of it, SOM is over 10%, and like potting soil. Even after grazing it with Dexters and sheep. Tillage is not the answer. Organic farming is proving to be an environmental disaster due to all the tillage most are choosing to do. Not all my ground is that good. I have new land I acquired along the way that has a ways to go. But it’s going in the right direction. Take a little more ground every year and put it in no till. Don’t bet the farm by being a fanatics by doing it all at once. But it will work long term
