  • Hey that's super cool!

    We looked at using a paratill that injected manure pellets behind it for the same thing, with the idea that the manure would encourage deeper rooting/long term break up. It kind of worked, but not really. It was also really labour intensive and expensive.

    Throwing something like this into your rotation would probably work a lot better given that an article I read (Raper et al 2001, I think?) found that while subsoil tillage works, you need to do it at least every 3 years; not a one time treatment like we were doing.

  • Good question. Let's have a lingerie boxing match episode between dax and 7 of 9 to find out.

  • Don't kid yourself, there is still an assload of convention tillage and monocropping going on, at least in my neck of the woods.

    I've surveyed large swaths of agricultural land; hundreds of inspection points, and the B horizon has been completely lost due to annual tillage. In one case I had two pits 200 m away from each other. One was in the field and one was in a stand of trees they didn't clear. The field profile had maybe 15 cm of A horizon with no structure over a calcareous C. The bush profile had 50 cm of well structured A horizon, and another 20 cm of B overtop of the same calcareous C. It was beautiful.

    In another field, a guy was moldboarding... This is just one of the surveys I've been on.

    There's a lot of guys out there who know what they are doing, and they do it well, but at least in my opinion, regenerative Ag needs to catch on more. From my perspective, there seems to be resistance, though, and I'm not sure if it's from economics, generational practices, or a combination of factors.
