Mighty hard to get either unless you look.

No. Change happens from asking questions, and not limiting ones view point to the status quo.

Wow! Who would have thought? Hard to imagine accepted science changing because of new information. I wonder how that new information came to be known?

It's not worth reading about anyway, Jim, just some fringe groups trying to change the accepted science that is obviously correct. I mean, why else would everyone be doing it?

The PDF that you linked was excellent, Steve! Colin definitely has a handle on how things work. It is nice that he named the specific species and their attributes that have been successful for the land that he works. Global diversity will necessitate that each area will require an...

It is a good roll though. Impressive actually.

Sorry buddy, my mind is way too full.

Cory, really?

Excellent post, Jim!

Justin, I made the above statement way back in the beginning of this thread. Keep it in mind because there is still far too many misconceptions in ag. Even though many producers have farmed with tillage and fertilisers for generations, even exceptional soil will eventually become a depleted...

Very common for start up. It might be your best bet. You are doing the right thing though by looking at your alternatives.

Common thinking is that mechanical manipulation creates light good rooting soil and it does but at a cost of continually degrading the soil. Soil life will also create good rooting soil by chemical and mechanical manipulation with the big plus of it being eminently sustainable. The power...

Justin, I get a bit uncomfortable making recommendations on ag basically because I know so little about it. However, I do understand soil and what goes into maintaining the biological components and therefore the soil itself. So take anything I say with the understanding that I'm just shooting...

Justin, did this meeting ever take place? With your land having been in irrigated, undisturbed, multi species pasture for so many years, it should have built an excellent soil. I am curious as to what you find and what others will recommend.

Jim, try contacting Jay Fuhrer. He should be easier to get hold of. Those are good questions and he should be able to answer them or get hold of Gabe for you.

He is a salesman, Steve. Says some good things and lots of partial truths but for the wrong reasons. The good news is he will sell you what is needed to fix it all. :|:

Yes, lots of soil poking and prodding, charts and graphs being created. They need to accept the premise that nitrogen is not a growth "limiting" factor but instead a growth "regulating" system. That may seem like semantics, but understanding that the soil in its entirety will only produce as...

Soil testing for N is a funny deal and the results can be extremely misleading. They test for available N, typically nitrate, that is in the sample at the time of testing. Tests are also performed at a specific depth. None of this will give a true picture of what N will become available...

Haha! Good read, Jim. Let 'er buck!!!

Jim, who is the NRCS guy and who is the extension person?
