  1. @soilfoodweb well I’d be happy if I had 10k accres of land. I would then afford taking 5k usd course to learn that much about the soil. However I don’t have such a luxury and I wonder how I can learn and then apply the same practice in small scale, having around 500 square meters of garden space.

  2. Thanks for the video its very inspiring. Im starting a small, local, food market in my area. I purchased 10 acres of typical western farm land which is very heavily compacted. $5K for a foundation class, as awesome as that would be take is out of reach for many small startups like myself. Is there a trimmed down version for hobby farmers that can help us do our part to repair soil?

  3. Not entirely on topic but I have noticed a trend, both in America, and Globally, since the late '80-90s and that is a change in attitudes. People have gone from competing against each other, to competing WITH each other to better the quality of life for everyone, and I truly think that is the way forward for us as a species.

    Humans need challenge, we just do. Like a lot of crops, if things are too easy, or "safe," we tend to become shallowly attached & rootless, but that doesn't mean we need to create strife, we can create opportunities for each other instead.

    Thanks for posting all of this information. I for one am too small, right now, to afford much and anything I can get for free is greatly appreciated and willingly shared and I tend to do business with like minded people and have a decent memory. Chees 🙂

  4. For compost tea, do you have a separate spray tank? Do you use the same as for the chemical sprays that you still use? If it's the same tank how do you clean it out to make sure the biology isn't killed for the compost tea?

  5. Fabulous Content, what was the ecology society that was mentioned around minute 30? I would love to get them involved to find some local natural plants to promote local healthy beneficial bugs!
    Thanks!

  6. 1:36:00 The corn doesn't have enough energy to fill the ear because when it turns reproductive it stops feeding the biology with root exudates, and starts pulling extra nutrients and water out of the profile. The biological side has more available nutrients and water up until the very end of season while the conventional has a corn plant that has neglected its root exudation opportunities because of abundant soluble nutrients in the early season. In furrow and fall applications of nitrogen and P-K stunt the early development of the microbial association to the crop and it shows in the late season the most.

  7. Good to see the huge commitment on a large scale to a biological approach. I wonder what the lard and productivity will be like after ten years of this approach compared to the neighbours. It's to bad that those that are moving to a biological approach take a hit from chemical drift from the neighbouring farms that are still running with lots of "iced's"

  8. I once spilt a dash of roundup concentrate on my hand/forearm and it gave be a chemical burn and or contact dermatitis that lasted for weeks….Monsanto is pure evil…..
