All farmers need to know that growing soil is their number one priority.

I wish that all would study up on what life really is and in agriculture it is soil biology and plant life is what turns bed rock into fertile soil using the sun and carbon cycle. In order to be successful at regenerative Ag this must be understood.

[timshirk]

The limiting factor in expanding life is how bio available nutrition is available which of course is produced by soil biology, plants and above ground insects and animals. This also applies to what humans consume and the health of them comes down to one big word. BIO AVAILABLE NUTRIENTS that can be absorbed by anything that is alive and eats which includes plants. It is all one big cycle and circle of life

Thanks for another great discussion! I am horrible at writing resumes but am also interested in working for AEA.

I wish all farmers understood the Carbon Cycle.

We need more of AEA type exposure to Ag everywhere to save the world and mankind. The answer is not solar panels & etc. it is biology. The world needs reminded we are a bacteria people. I have been financially blessed and wish I could help

Thank for sharing these valuable information with us. Quick question. My field will take a bit more time to be ready as I get the biology right. In the mean time I plant to my seedlings in small plastic-type biodegradable bags important from China that are to be planted with the plant together without removing the bag, will these bags be an issue for my soil biology? I am a rose plant grower

I'm building/growing a unique resume. I would love to work for AEA.
