@twostarfarmer Lots of ways to do it. This farmer used less synthetic fertilizer and also used a biological each year that was designed to build WEOC while freeing up NPK. Less salt load. More carbon.

[Danny Gardner @DannyGardnerJr]

Your agronomist will probably tell you change like this takes years of cover crops and no till.

Same soil type. Right across the line. Conventional tillage.

Left: untreated.
Right: 4 years of focusing on WEOC (available carbon).

this is why I believe in building WEOC so much

If you spray Boron, it's worth making sure you have enough plant available Calcium.

Without it, I expect you'll have a hard time getting the Boron levels you want into the plant.

fun fact of the day

Culver’s just told me “My pleasure.”

There goes Chick-fil-a’s moat

@ChrisK_Banded There are probably some benefits to giving dairy cows milk. Doesn’t mean it’s optimal.

If it’s to promote biology there are other options there too.

Idk, strikes me as weird

[Danny Gardner @DannyGardnerJr]

Why was there such a buzz about sugar last summer?

We don’t feed milk to dairy cows.

Why feed sugar to crops?

I’m not saying it won’t do *anything*, it just seems odd as a go to strategy.

If you want your plants to make more sugar, make them healthier.

[Danny Gardner @DannyGardnerJr]

@BrianMitchem3 @MasonClaude5 Not sure why sugar would be a go to source. A far bigger lever to pull would be increasing sugar production, don’t you think?

[Danny Gardner @DannyGardnerJr]

Humic acid.

If someone is starving, giving them some shelter might help them out…

But it doesn’t solve their hunger problem.

Humic acid isn’t a food source for microbes. It might provide a home, yeah. Not food though.

Had a good chat today with @MasonClaude5 about this

[Danny Gardner @DannyGardnerJr]

@PuddlesFrasier It’s such a shame, isn’t it?

[Danny Gardner @DannyGardnerJr]

The saturation level I am most concerned about isn’t base saturation potassium.

Not the ratio of calcium to magnesium.

Not hydrogen, even though it’s nice to have.

By far, the most valuable saturation to have in your soil is carbon saturation.

And it’s not even close.

with vibe coding getting so much better, “ChatGPT, make this” will be the new equivalent to screenshotting NFTs

@sungleeiq Done

[Danny Gardner @DannyGardnerJr]

@steeke7 Haha that’s right! Wheat is fantastic for WEOC.

@Johnkempf Thanks for the follow, John!

@Chickenomics1 Entrenched ideas of how things “should” be done hold Ag back so much it’s repulsive.

If this were human nutrition, it’s like the standard may as well have just discovered the calorie and guys like BJ McNeil are already testing vitamins, peptides, and biohacking

@IMJustinBrooke GCP

@MasonClaude5 @sean_nettleton @cropcastpod Great points! Idk if the best in the game even know 1%.

One example I wonder about:
How does management influence photosynthate partitioning, quality, and quantity? No clue. I’m not sure if anyone knows in true detail. Does it matter? Probably. Maybe big time

So much to learn

[Danny Gardner @DannyGardnerJr]

@tyromper Your posts have been a huge encouragement and inspiration to me on several occasions. I’m grateful for you man.
