The term “economics of soil health” has been used frequently in an attempt to quantify and validate the value of improving soil health. The traditional thinking about assigning dollar values to soil health metrics, which are many, can be very challenging, and it is easier said than done.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2024&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=59380ff2af92d" class="gmail-m_-6798198375816352709ArticleLink" style="font-family:Myriad Pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

According to Washington State University’s Center for Sustaining Agriculture & Natural Resources, some of the most promising warming-friendly farming technologies and practices include conservation tillage (stirring up the soil less), precision agriculture (which employs information technology to monitor crop development, refine soil inputs and optimize growing conditions), improved cropping systems (refining the sequence of which crops follow each other on a given piece of land), and anaerobic digestion of organic wastes (via capturing methane waste and turning it into usable energy).  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2031&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=59380f8d84b55" class="gmail-m_-6798198375816352709ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Growing Produce
In 2015, we took some time to write a Specialty Crop Block Grant which funded a two-year project investigating the moisture retention capacity of a fall-planted rye mulch in butternut squash under no-till, strip-till, plasticulture, and bareground production methods. We repeated the trial in 2016, but focused more on nutrient management. What I would like to share with you here is a review of some of the knowledge gaps that we bridged running these trials on-farm.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2037&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=593810134c02e" class="gmail-m_-6798198375816352709ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Lombok farmers who practiced conservation agriculture were more resilient to the effects of El Nino, harvesting about 70 percent more than those using traditional methods, according to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2045&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=59380f9e143ed" class="gmail-m_-6798198375816352709ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

The only insurance against drought is a sound, scientifically based grazing management programme, coupled with a reasonable stocking rate even in times of plenty. So says Dr Mias van der Westhuizen, Free State rangeland specialist. Annelie Coleman spoke to him about the practical implications of good grazing management.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2051&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=59381036c0ad2" class="gmail-m_-6798198375816352709ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Precision agriculture and agricultural technology have come a long way in the past five to 10 years. According to Scott Shearer, chair of Ohio State’s College of Food, Agriculture and Biological Engineering, there are a lot of technologies that have made money for farmers, but every farm is different.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2058&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=593810234edc9" class="gmail-m_-6798198375816352709ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Wading through wheat, Justin Krick, a farmer in Frankenmuth, Mich., is looking at one of his best wheat crops yet, but it's what's going on below the ground that's so unique. Farmers and the Kellogg Company may have different backgrounds, but they all have the same goal: improving soil health.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2070&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=59380fadd4be4" class="gmail-m_-6798198375816352709ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE
