- Shows aerial and on the ground symptoms of crops grown on low pH soil including interviews with a farmer and a soil scientist on causes and solutions of this growing problem in semi-arid regions. For more information go to: landresources.montana.edu/soil...
One of the best presentation.
Very well done and informative.
Thank you so much for this very good information. We can now address pH acidity that limits soil fertility & crop potential.
I like this video, very informative.. How about this for a novel idea . No matter what sort of farmer you think you are, First and foremost believe your actually a SOIL Farmer.. Because If you don't look after the soil you'll have nothing sooner than later. Leave your environment much better than you found it. Just a thought..
Hi 👋
33 thumbs up and one thumb down I'd like to know what the one downvote guy didn't like about the info in the video.
? Why not fix the rotations and include forestry and stock animals? Use a more integrated approach. Do they use fermented B+B or fish meals there? Lime is not solving the problem or educating farmers into natural ways of producing those things and extending fertility to permanent answers... Sad to see, but removal of forestry causes these problems in deep till conventional agriculture, as does over tilling and continuously removing more than you can put back into the land yourself, meaning you constantly need large amounts of external inputs to keep fertility up, introducing disease and susceptibility to your farm or lifestyle property, and the desertification seen in this video. Even when I first started to learn Agriculture and farming this was a bad practice.
Rotations, especially with legume crops, is something we spend substantial time educating producers and their advisers on in workshops, webpages, and other Extension outlets. Here, they are mentioned at 7:30 into video. Fish meals are used on market gardens and some organic farms, but on 5,000 acre conventional farms are too expensive. The farms here were not deforested but were prairie. Animals can be a great addition, but some of these farms are too far above rivers and creeks for successful livestock operations. These are all no-till systems.
