Awesome project in MN. The nutrient sequestration abilities of cover crops are revealing themselves to be way above expectation. Such a great in field learning opportunity.

👨‍🌾💡 Curious about corn following #covercrops? Join consultant Ailts Agronomy, Daniel H Smith Dan Smith, and others for practical insights during our free webinar. Thursday, Feb. 13, 12 PM CT. Sign up here: bit.ly/CornCoversWebi… @FarmersForSoil

Agronomists/crop consultants working in WI…get paid to participate in a virtual focus group on cover crops.

On the podcast, @RealJohnKempf talks to Ailts Agronomy, an agronomist and regenerative farmer in northwest Wisconsin. Through his company, Ailts Agronomy, Joe works with row crop farmers to integrate soil health practices into their operations, bridging the gap between regenerative

Regen/soil health journal club anyone? I am certain there are pragmatic, on-farm take aways from publications like these. But is there a forum where insatiably curious, open minded adventurers can discuss insights from this dense scientific work? @realJohnKempf Jason Mauck

Highly recommend, great episode. Looking forward to having this tool in my hands.

Following inspiration from Tyler Zimmerman I sampled soil in ditch from spring runoff. No-till & CC rye for last 5 yrs. Field ave P: ~25ppm, K ~120ppm. Test shows sediment is remarkably concentrated in plant groceries. I suspect a more robust stand of rye woulda slowed this

Honored to be a guest on The Regenaissance podcast. We covered a lot of ground and went a few places I didn’t expect to go!

More worm studies plz.

Plz read this awesome piece of prose describing the antifreeze character of young soybeans. It will help you sleep better at night.

There is absolutely nothing that comes close to simply putting in the work.

“Should I apply nitrogen to these poorly nodulating soybeans, and if so, how much? My general answer is no and none.” Agree.

What an honor to have this discussion, and to receive an “N/A” score from Vance Crowe on my contrarian take on the Haney soil health test for managing nitrogen.

Here’s another plant math problem: Giant pumpkins put out adventitious roots at every leaf node. 800 leaves in 800sq ft area = 800 unique root systems. Bury the nodes with compost to stimulate = 60lbs fruit growth/day = 3000+lb 🎃

Pumpkins and sweet corn pay for the diesel, but it’s everything in between and below these crops that make the system productive. Carbon, soil microbes, and species diversity are the real drivers of upside here.
