The first step is focused on opening the soil and creating soil structure. We are building an aerobic environment to host the aerobic microbes in the soil. The mineral that has the highest flocculating value (or the ability to structure the soil) is calcium.
The second step is focused on Biology. Once we have the soil structured for them to exist, grow, eat, reproduce, and die, we start adding microbes from Microbe teas and other inoculants, to ensure there is food year-round. It is also important to start adopting practices that will ensure the microbes can grow and diversify. Each type of biology in the soil has a specific job to the function and efficiency of the soil.
Once we have the environment and the soil life alive and well, we focus on building carbon. The carbon cycle is explained further on this website. Essentially, it is the corner post of life, and needed for quality in the plant, food for microbes, and resilience in the soil.
Our mission is to provide producers with access to environmentally friendly products that address soil problems and facilitate sustainable farming practices. With focus on proper soil analysis and evaluation, our goal is to assist producers to identify the underlying causes of the soil problems and develop understanding to correct these problems.
That’s a Wrap!
Our 2023 Producer’s Conference was a Huge Success!!! Thank you to all of the speakers, the Western Development Museum staff, BTYR staff, and all that attended and made the 2023 Conference the best one yet!
We will keep our speaker Bios online for awhile longer, click here...
