- We talked with Douglas Poole who farms 7,000 acres in central Washington. Compost extract helps him revitalize his soil biology and save money in spite of arid conditions and a short growing season. Douglas uses the Hiwassee products Bio-Extractor to make his extract.

Loved every bit of this and clearly he is making strides in a direction that can only be better than the past...and very applicable to us in africa too! thanks for sharing!
What a genuinely warm and wonderful presentation. Love these kind of fireside chats with folks that know their stuff and are making it work so much better than the industrial reductionist model being pushed for a century. Thanks fir sharing. Wish you the best!
Congratulations!!!Finally a video of really short rainfall success ..I get so tired of "it won't work here" that's from an NRCS person in a 12" rain area south of you in Oregon wheat country! Thank you ,greatest video I have seen on regen farming in 3 years.
What a great video. Thank you for sharing your story. My mentor is john kempf with advancing eco agriculture. Really enjoy his free course on redox in the soil. May GOD bless you and yours!
Love this guy … Just wish we could bottle his approach on life and hand it out to people!
Looks like our field in the foothills of Ozarks lots of rocks!!
This is a great Video! Thank for sharing your story Doug!
re your crops just "looking better"...... I would be willing to bet that along with improved crop production that your crops are more nutrient dense as well. Keep up the great work!!
Try a refractometer to check your BRIX levels from one season tot he next.
You don't hear that worm castings are part of a system from people who manage large areas. Congrats on that one 👏
What was the biosolids material, was the sludge scraped out from the city waste water lagoons?
Will they allow you to grow hemp? Great soil remediator
There is an argument to keeping the same crops in the same plot.
The fungi and other biological organisms unique to that plant will continue to thrive.
%100 correct 👍
I'm a retired engineer born and raised on a rural farm in dairy, I'm currently doing a degree in soil biology and applying the methodology techniques I've garnered along the way whilst engineering with stringent formats and flow charts to follow data results whilst learning the soil biology strata, the results speak for themselves once the overdoses of commercial inputs are reduced in soils and the natural biomes have a real chance at forming a whole complete biome biosphere in vicinity.
Natural supercedes commercial hands down which data results prove time and time again.
The way in which ( whom ever created this process is not replicable via mankinds manipulation).
We call what comes from inputs grown to harvest utilising commercial products
"ghost food" ,it's not the plants fault it has low nutritional value the plant does its best to grow to full yield to fallow and seed so it can survive naturally, the commercial inputs are hollow like building a paper mach'e child and expecting after much nurturing that it's going to function according to rules you and no-one fully comprehends.
🖕It does not work nor suffice anything in endurance.
Thankyou my dear friend for posting honest insight to which many can now see!
Loved the part about chemistry vs biology "...No wonder they continue to sell me crap, because all they gotta do is snow me with the Mulder's Chart... if you just get outta the way of the soil biology and it'll do it for me -- I'm in!" ...and banking "...It's somethin somebody's gonna do somethin for me and I don't have to write a check for it... again, to plagiarize Gabe Brown: he'd rather sign the back of the check than the front of the check." :-)
