#RealisticRegenAg | I fell in love with the Prairies as soon as I moved out here nearly two decades ago. When I saw this book, it immediately called to me. She goes back to geological history to set the stage for who lives here now and what the future of this area is. Join me in this episode where I review this book and hopefully encourage you to read it yourself.

#RealisticRegenAg | Disease suppressive soils are ones that would fend off diseases before they even had a chance to get into your crop plants. I think this is a worthwhile goal to work towards in regenerative agriculture. But of course, it's not going to be simple and it's not going to cover everything. In this episode, I'm going to go over all of the different ideas that I have seen come up over the years and talk about the plausibility of them. Stay tuned. I will cover this all in this episode

#RealisticRegenAg | Braiding Sweetgrass is a book that covers two very different views of the world: The European way and the Indigenous way. Robin Wall Kimmerer applies her scientific understanding of the world with the indigenous teachings to bring them both together in a very interesting way in this book. Stay tuned to this episode where I'll cover some of the things that I have learned from this.

#RealisticRegenAg | There is money out there for the taking for things like seeding cover crops, the cost of the cover crop seed, soil mapping, soil testing, splitting your nitrogen applications using inhibitors and even for hauling and applying manure, compost and digestate. You can also get money to establish perennials or top up legumes in your perennial stands. And if you want to get into rotational grazing, you can get your internal fencing and water supplies covered. Stay tuned to the rest of this episode for more details as I cover this and the other interesting things that are happening in my world.
