About Myself
I have been farming since the late 60s with my father. I have come to see many farming changes. My father loved to farm and he said to work with the land always, and it will take care of you for life.
Years ago, farmers worked with the land by summer fallow (green manure) every few years – to let the land recover from constant farming. This gives the land time to rest and prepare itself for crops again. They were working with, and closer to nature. We all were organic farmers in some way, but as the years went by, the farmers changed, and the farming practices changed also. A lot of farmers in the 70s, 80s and 90s added more chemicals and fertilizers to the land. In the 21st century (today), farmers are using less chemicals and fertilizers. Now farmers are starting to think about what has happened to the land, and are trying to add more micro nutrients and organic matter to their soil to have it become more alive again. Soil bacteria has become more popular and brings more nutrients to the soil. This is getting to be more of a subject – keeping crops healthier is beginning to be more in our thoughts because of the amount of crops we eat. Chemicals that go into our crops go into our food. So why are we getting sick more often – think about it.
Healthier crops produce healthier food, and healthier food produces healthier people.
Since the mid-90’s, I have changed my ways of farming for a different way of life. It is a more beneficial way of farming. It is better for the soil, more profitable, and a healthier way of doing things. This is not a way to expand large quantities of land, but is a more successful way for working with the land you have.
Farming is a tough way of life for many, but is an excellent way to raise your families. Let’s preserve it, for our future, and for the children of tomorrow.
Products for farming, providing healthier crops, more microbiology, nutrients for the land with better root development while improving soil quality. Increasing plant nutrient uptake, and enhancing microbial activity for the remediation of soil problems.
Mother Nature provides us with good soils. Do we mine it out until all nutrients and minerals are gone? alternatively, do we try to provide the best nutrients for the soils and give it life for all of us? Providing life to the soils gives us better crops, water and health. It makes all of us healthy in life with fewer diseases to our crops and people.
Our goal in life is to provide better soils for the next generation than what we started with. Life is short; make the most of it by providing better nutrients for the land. Make it come alive with better micronutrients and life.
