Join John Kempf, Chief Vision Officer and Founder of Advancing Eco Agriculture, as he dives into the relationship between soil biology and no-till farm management. Moving beyond the buzzwords, John will share the value of biological inputs and the changes they can bring to your soil.
University of Minnesota Extension explains the nitrogen cycle, how nitrogen can transform and end up leaving the soil through the atmosphere or local waterways.
No-tillers wanting to break a yield plateau with soybeans should study the nitrogen cycle and identify environments where additional applications makes sense.
Shifting from conventional tillage to no-till often requires a lot of physical change in your operation. Just as importantly, adopting this new way of farming demands a strong dose of faith during a transition period that might take several years. I like to joke it’s the same kind of devotion it takes to make a good marriage work.
Virginia “never-tiller” Paul Davis sees a faster increase in soil organic matter, a reduction in applied nitrogen and improved yields from cover crops.
The higher the cost of the input, the more important it becomes to maximize efficiencies and make sure that input pays dividends. High fertilizer prices paired with potential environmental impact makes managing nutrient inputs doubly important.
