LSP Blog: "It’s become clear that if we are successful in making [oats] a key part of our rotation, it could serve as a three-legged stool that supports economic, agronomic, and environmental sustainability." #soilhealth#oats https://t.co/hnmZG7X1UC
I thoroughly enjoyed this LSP podcast interview with Jon Stevens. His positive, good-humored attitude, even in the face of what he calls "massive, massive failures" is infectious. We need more happy warriors out there like Jon. #soilhealth https://t.co/JGgYCIvVMb
LSP Ear to the Ground podcast: SW MN farmer Jerry Ackermann makes it clear he does not see profitability and building soil health utilizing no-till and cover crops as mutually exclusive. In fact, for him they go hand-in-hand. #notillfarming#SoilHealth https://t.co/ONehbpCDWx
Shea-Lynn Ramthun, LSP FB grad, farmer & LSP Soil Health staffer: “Oats are a less input-heavy crop...when you follow with corn, you don’t need as much nitrogen. So now we’re not leaching nitrogen, which means cleaner water, healthier soils.” #soilhealth https://t.co/W4hvBWGDXu
"If I can fix something with a bale of hay, a cow, or a bag of seed, I'd rather do that than fertilize and haul in a bunch of costly inputs," says grazier Langdon Collom on LSP's Ear to the Ground podcast. #soilhealth#rotationalgrazing#regenerativeag https://t.co/gvgJpDZYGq
On LSP's latest Ear to the Ground podcast, grazier Rachelle Meyer says: "We ask ourselves, 'Is this enterprise the woman in the red dress? Is it like the shiny object syndrome?' " https://t.co/PeoMcTG9xO #soilhealth#holisticfarming#beginningfarmers#rotationalgrazing

@StribOpinion makes a critical point about the flooding we've suffered from recently: #soilhealth holds the key to managing water. "If we're serious about changing agriculture and making rural America more climate resilient, these programs need a boost." https://t.co/ryLurDB1Mf
The Star Tribune editorial board has been doing its homework on #SoilHealth : "If we're serious about changing agriculture and making rural America more climate resilient, these programs need a boost," the board says of state & federal soil programs. "https://t.co/n6TFSCRUL6
