Benefits of Mycorrhiza Biofertilizer in Gardening and Agriculture
The Mycorrhizal bio fertilizer fungus has existed since the first vegetation appeared on dry land 450 million years ago. They form a close symbiotic relationship with the roots of plants. They are called mycorrhiza, the Greek "mucus" means fungus and "riza" means roots.
Recently, we are seeing a huge enthusiasm for urban gardening and those who practice it are looking for the benefits of healthy soil. However, due to the heat island and wind elements on the roofs of buildings, growing conditions can be stressful for plants. 
Tumblr media
There are many challenges, but they can be alleviated by using Mycorrhizal bio fertilizer fungal inoculants and / or other beneficial soil bacteria (bacteria). Beneficial nematodes, earthworms etc.) To increase the resistance of plants to these difficult environmental conditions.
Mycorrhizal bio fertilizer
Mycorrhizal bio fertilizer form a network of fibers that attach to plant roots and extract nutrients from the soil into which the root system cannot otherwise enter. This fungus-plant combination promotes plant growth and accelerates root growth. 
Plants grown in one-liter pots can be planted up to a kilometer from the hyphae and they can get water and nutrients in small holes in the soil. It also reduces the number of trees
Sensitive to soil-borne pathogens and other environmental stresses such as drought and salinity. In turn, the plant provides the fungus with carbohydrates and other nutrients. They use these carbohydrates for their growth and for the synthesis and excretion of molecules like glomalin (glycoproteins). Release of glomalin into the soil environment improves soil texture and increases the amount of organic matter. 
However, in soils disturbed by human activity, the amount of mycorrhiza is greatly reduced, which is not sufficient to provide significant benefits for plant growth and health, so it is important to make up for this deficiency.
Nutrients and water
Mycorrhiza is essential in places where the soil lacks water and some nutrients - such as those found in deserts. Although nutrients are abundant, they are not readily available to plants. Due to the dramatically large root system (or mycorrhizae) the plant can get extra moisture and nutrients. This is especially important in the absorption of phosphorus, which is one of the major nutrients that plants need. 
Potential benefits of mycorrhizae fertilizer
It is a Mycorrhiza-based bio-fertilizer containing Mycorrhiza fungus spores (Glomus spp.). 
It is a beneficial fungus that adds symbiosis to plant roots and enhances the absorption of phosphorus, other nutrients and soil water which aids in plant growth and development and increases their productivity. 
Mycorrhizal fungi can absorb, store and transport large amounts of phosphate in their hyphae and release it into plant root tissues.
The use of Mycorrhizal bio fertilizer results in a 30% reduction in chemical fertilizers, especially phosphorus fertilizers.
It provides an excellent ability to withstand a variety of soil stresses such as metal toxicity, soil temperature, salinity, etc., thereby increasing the survival rate of the plant.
It improves water absorption by the developed root mass and thus retains moisture in and around the roots. 
It is used in cereals, millets, pulses, oilseeds, fiber crops, sugar crops, cultivated crops, vegetables, fruits, spices, flowers, medicinal crops, aromatic crops, orchards and ornamental crops.
A majority of plant species will benefit from mycorrhizal fungi
Most plant species used in urban gardening will benefit from the presence of Mycorrhizal bio fertilizer fungi. Inoculants like Myke Pro Nursery or Pro-Mix Pur Mycorrhiza zeolite can be planted or pre-mixed in soilless growing medium like Pro-Mix Mycorrhiza production line. They are readily available to help plant roots in contact with the mycorrhizal fungus establish their new soil environment.
Urban Vegetable Crops in Soil or Tray: Onion, Garlic, Carrot, Potato, Tomato, Pepper, Cooker Beets, Asparagus, Herbaceous and Lettuce
Annual in planters or flower beds: salvia, ornamental grass, cane, fern, aloe, gerbera
Perennials in container or flower bed: host, rose bush, lavender, thyme, purple conflower, bee bomb and nepta
Trees and shrubs in the landscape: fruit trees, gladiators, junipers, thuja, maple, lilacs and elms
Anand Agro Care, Nashik (India) established in the year 2009 is one of the well-known enterprises highly engrossed in Mycorrhizal bio fertilizer suppliers and supplying Biofertilizers, and Biopesticides, Bio fungicides, Bio nematicides, Herbal extracts, Micronutrients and plant growth promoters etc. We are emerging as an agriculture company dedicated to research & development, production and commercialization of environment friendly certified organic products for the growth and sustainability of agriculture.

Benefits of Using Advance Mycorrhizal Fungi
Summary: The following blog explains about the benefits of mycorrhizal fungi products. Mycorrhizal fungi is based on the inter-relation of the fungal hyphae and plant root cells. Mycorrhizal fungi are critical members of the plant microbiome, forming a symbiosis with the roots of most plants on Earth.
Tumblr media
Mycorrhizal fungi have existed for the reason that first plants appeared on dry land greater than 450 million years ago. They shape a near symbiotic courting with plant roots. They may be called mycorrhizae from the Greek “mukés”, which means fungus, and “rhiza,” which means roots.
Mycorrhizal fungi is associate with plant roots and draw nutrients from the soil that the basis device would not be capable of get entry to otherwise. This fungus-plant alliance stimulates plant boom and speeds up root improvement.
One kilometer of hypae (high-quality filaments) may be associated with a plant growing in a one-liter pot and it may get admission to water and vitamins in the smallest pores within the soil. It also makes the plant less prone to soil-borne pathogens and to different environmental stresses including drought and salinity.In return the plant presents carbohydrates and other nutrients to the fungi. They utilize these carbohydrates for their increase and to synthesize and excrete molecules like glomalin (glycoprotein). The discharge of glomalin inside the soil surroundings results in better soil structure and better organic count content.
But, in soil that has been disturbed through human pastime, the quantity of mycorrhizae decreases notably so that there are not sufficient of them to supply a considerable advantage on plant growth and health, for this reason the significance to atone for this lack.
Mycorrhizal fungi products allow lowers to draw extra vitamins and water from the soil. In addition they growth plant tolerance to special environmental stresses. Moreover, these fungi play a chief role in soil aggregation manner and stimulate microbial pastime. Consistent with the plant species and to the growing practices and conditions, mycorrhizae offer exclusive benefits to the flora and to the surroundings:
Produce more full of life and healthful flora
Increase plant established order and survival at seeding or transplanting
Boom yields and crop nice
Improve drought tolerance, permitting watering discount
Flowering and fruiting
Optimize fertilizers use, particularly phosphorus
Increase tolerance to soil salinity
Reduce sickness incidence
Make a contribution to maintain soil nice and nutrient cycling
Contribute to manipulate soil erosion
They form a community of high-quality filaments that accomplice with plant roots and draw vitamins and water from the soil that the basis gadget might no longer be able to get entry to in any other case. Mycorrhizae are shaped with greater than ninety% of plant species. Mycorrhizal fungi powder colonize the plant’s root device and expand a symbiotic association known as “mycorrhiza”. The products are used in agriculture and horticulture comprised of multiple species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. It has incredible ability to connect to plant roots, the microscopic fungal fibres vastly extend the root system.

Natter # 30  10/18/2015
Subject: Fwd: MI MG Natter # 30 Date: October 18, 2015 at 11:49:47 PM PDT Hello you lot, Where to start with no clinic to give me an intro? What to do at this time of year? You know you should be planting or have planted your Spring bulbs - right? Garlic all in and Lettuce, Chard, Spinach, Onions ditto? Okay then, now is probably a great time to think about cosseting your ground. Actually any time is good for that, but after our rather warm Summer, lots of the compost will have been used and sort of 'burned away'. Not that you can see much of that, but here in the PNW there needs to be good cover over the ground, especially in areas where the ground is bare of plants. Something must be done to help the top surface resist the scouring effects of rain, frost and wind and enable plants to survive the Winter and get away to a flying start in the Spring. Given that  the generally prevailing soil type in the PNW is largely clay with an admixture of glacial till, it should always be one's aim to improve it's structure by adding compost and mulches. To make a good job of this, it is always a good first step to get your soil analysed, which can be accomplished free of charge via King County for the first five different samples. We have the forms available just in case you forgot! However this isn't the only thing that can be done to assist in this process. What is needed is something that opens the structure allowing roots, water and air to penetrate . Humus will assist in achieving this end, with worms helping out, pulling down bits of leaf and other plant litter, forming tunnels which allow air and rainwater to penetrate. This is the way it is done in nature and  works well  -  given time. However this process can be accelerated somewhat by encouraging worms, bacteria, insects, mites, protozoa and amoeba to smaller friendly and microscopic beneficial fungi. These soil microorganisms are the hidden magic that allow a healthy soil to flourish,  producing many different compounds, some of which help to bind the aggregates together and improve the soil structure. One way in which beneficial bacteria can promote the creation of soil aggregates is by producing organic compounds called 'slime' or 'bio-film', which surround and protect the bacterial colony that attaches to mineral soil particles, organic litter and roots. Bio-films are glue-like in the way that they bind soil aggregates together. Plus, polysaccharides in the bacterial bio-film are more stable than plant polysaccharides, resisting decomposition long enough to be successful in holding soil particles together in aggregate. Friendly fungi also are important in the developing of soil aggregates. There are two ways that fungi can be involved in this development :- The first is mechanical. Fungi grow in long, threadlike structures called hyphae. The fungi help to form aggregates in the soil by physically enmeshing soil particles with their hyphae and forming a net among soil particles. Mycorrhizal fungi and fungi that colonize fresh organic matter are believed to be most important for assisting with stabilization of soil particles into aggregates. This fungal mycelial growth has been shown to bind soil particles together more effectively than smaller organisms such as bacteria. The second way fungi can form soil aggregates is similar to the bacterial method. A bio-glue called Glomalin acts as a super glue, sticking nutrient-rich soil aggregates to the hyphae. Glomalin  is formed by mycorrhizal fungi and is found in all soils. It is produced in large amounts and is extremely "tough" in that it does not dissolve in water and is resistant to decay. It functions to coat and protect the mycorrhizal hyphae from nutrient loss by gluing together soil particles and stabilizing them. Conclusion The effects of aggregation are beneficial to crop plants because they promote good soil structure, reduce wind and water erosion, increase air infiltration into the soil horizon and increase water retention near roots. Further, aggregation reduces compaction, which makes for vigorous root systems. Decreased fertilizer and water inputs are necessary with a well aggregated soil.
In conclusion, the production of excellent soil structure through the development of soil aggregates can be encouraged and maintained by enriching the normal flora and fauna of the soil with the inoculation of friendly fungi and beneficial bacteria. One way this can be achieved is by adding compost, as mentioned above, thus increasing the percentage of organic matter and resulting in an increase in soil life. However, for most of us, compost is rarely available in decent enough   quantities. An even easier method  is by  adding an easy to use, non-toxic, non-pathogenic and environmentally safe Seed Root Treatment (SRT). One company manufacturing this type of compound is AgVerra who wrote most of the above description ( I can take no credit.) This is an advanced, broad spectrum mycorrhizal and bacterial root inoculum with beneficial soil biology that jump starts and/or restores the beneficial biology leading to great soil structure. One final note at this time of year, now is a good time to sow a cover crop on any open and un-planted soil you have. This will give you double insurance against soil erosion over the winter, with the added benefit of lashings of soft green stuff to turn under in the Spring where your burgeoning soil flora & fauna will have a field day - if you will pardon the pun. They will think it is their birthday! Just think - all those little buggers beavering away all Winter on your behalf!   Kind of humbling isn't it? All sorts of interesting things on the horizon now. Seed catalogues to look forward to. The Annual bunfight on Wednesday - I wonder how many faces I will recognize?  The clock ticking down to the first Plant Sale meeting. Halloween, Thanksgiving and the not to be forgotten  - only 61 shopping days 'till Christmas! You fearless and optimistic leader. Gordon

Why Can’t We Get Minerals From Our Food?
Tumblr media
There are many reasons we can not obtain enough minerals from our food. The two greatest factors are the start of huge scale industrial agriculture which makes use of dirt depleting approaches as well as agricultural chemicals, primarily fertilizers and pesticides.
100 years back, farmers used to put rich compost back into the dirt as plant foods. They used to turn plants and allow areas remainder as well as recover. However because our food production system has actually become so commercialized, it's no more feasible for farmers to put back nutrients right into the soil on such a huge scale. It's also not economically possible.
Humic Acid: The Science of Humus and How it Benefits Soil
Humic acid is a group of particles that bind to, and also help plant origins obtain, water as well as nutrients. High humic acid levels can drastically raise returns. The humic acid shortage can prevent farmers and also garden enthusiasts from expanding plants with optimal nutrition. Conventional wisdom today ignores humic acids, though, holding that it is impossible to expand and also keep an urban landscape such as a park, golf links, or lawn without high-analysis NPK plant foods.
This write-up will certainly drill down into the details on humus. We can adjust our dirt biology as well as chemistry and also accomplish much better yields if we comprehend its qualities.
The Physics of Humic Acid
Humic acids are very essential as a medium for moving nutrients from the soil to the plant since they can keep ionized nutrients, avoiding them from seeping away. Humic acids are additionally brought in to the exhaustion area of the plant root. When they come to the origins, they bring along water and nutrients the plant needs.
The deficiency area is the location near to the origin of a plant from which the root draws (diminishes) nutrients. This zone can end up being specifically diminished if there is a lack of either humic acid or mycorrhizal fungus. When plants are mycorrhizal, the depletion zone is of much less significance. Mycorrhizae have hyphae micro-tubes that can extend a lot even more right into the dirt than the host plant can get to. They can collect mineral nutrition for the benefit of the host plant from outside the exhaustion zone. Humus is a lot more crucial for plant nutrient schedule as well as uptake if there aren't healthy and balanced mycorrhizal connections in the dirt.
Positive ions are a lot more quickly taken in by a plant's root since the root has a negative fee. In other words, the positive (cation) is attracted to the adverse (the living root). Humic acids hold cations (positive ions) in a way they can be much more easily soaked up by a plant's root, improving micronutrient transfer to the plant's circulation system. This functions because humic acids (ulmic, humic, and also fulvic) pick up favourable ions and are then drawn into the root depletion zone as well as to the hyphae micro-tubes of mycorrhizae.
Given that the root's adverse charge is higher than humic acid biomolecules' unfavourable charge, researchers suppose that the micronutrients are taken up by the plant's root and are soaked up by the plant's circulation system. Several of the trace elements are released from the humic acid particle as they get in the root membrane layer, yet we are now realizing that the plant will certainly additionally uptake some of the lighter molecular-weight humic acids as well. Fundamentally, the humic materials are chelating such cations as magnesium (Mg2+), calcium (Ca2+), and also iron (Fe2+). Via chelation, humic compounds increase the accessibility of these cations to plants.
How to Build Humic Acid Levels
Garden compost and also other sources of decomposing raw material are not a reliable method to construct soil humus levels. Garden compost swiftly disintegrates and leaves its minerals behind, releasing carbon into the atmosphere as CO2. Humic substances, on the other hand, are steady, durable biomolecules. Elements of humus have a mean house time (based on radiocarbon dating, utilizing extracts from non-disturbed soils) of 1,140 to 1,235 years, relying on the molecular weight of the humic acid.
If you actually want to take care of or rehabilitate a soil, raise its CEC, boost its tilth and porosity, improve water accessibility for conservation, as well as a result,  make a soil a healthier earthbound biosphere for all plants, roots, microorganisms, you have to rely on humus. Humus is a product of soil chemistry and is dependent upon a source of its precursor chemicals: amino acids.
Amino acids are the foundation of healthy protein. The best resource of the amino acids in an all-natural ecotone are produced by the Glomus types of mycorrhizae. These are associated with any yard in a natural, uninterrupted site. The tallgrass grassy fields of the Midwest exhibit this soil-building process far better than any ecotone in the world due to the fact that yards utilize a Glomus-mycorrhizal partnership. This is why there is was a lot humus-rich topsoil in the Tall Yard Prairies. Glomus makes a soil healthy protein called glomalin, a substance that is abundant in amino acids. Combined with humus, they create a huge carbon sequestering as well as banking aspect.
Scientists can determine the portion of calories in compost that originates from proteins (the amino acids), carbohydrates, as well as fats. This allows them to gauge the lack of humus-making potential of garden compost. Even in supreme-quality garden compost, the portion of calories coming from amino acids (healthy protein) is less than 5 per cent. Considering that it is tough to rely upon the best amino acid ratio in garden compost as a result of differing producing quality controls and also component uniformity, we can not predict a 100 per cent efficient conversion of all these amino acids right into humic compounds. Garden compost or other soil modifications of organic matter are as a result not a reliable means of increasing soil humic compounds.
Benefits of High Humic Acid Levels
One noticeable benefit of humus we have actually seen at our Arboretum in Los Lunas, New Mexico, has actually been the gathering of clay. This aggregation has actually made the claymore permeable, soft, and aerobic, with better water drainage, resulting in much deeper origin growth of all plants. The site was purchased in 1986 with clay soil 12 feet deep and a pH varying from 8.3 to 9.2-- so alkaline that in the winter season the site would transform white.
Today we have among the largest oak types collections of the Quercus category in the United States, and the biggest collection of indigenous oaks of the Chihuahuan Desert Area in The United States And Canada. Also on the site are a number of sorts of redwoods, maples, dogwoods and huge hardwood bamboo. None of these plants needs to be able to expand on dirt with the problems we started with, however with the power (or magic) of humic acids, we have restored the dirt to an efficient and also healthy and balanced level.
Lastly, "Humic Acids: Magnificent Products of Dirt Chemistry" (The Journal of Chemical Education, December 2001) states, "Humic acids are amazing brownish to black products of dirt chemistry that are vital for healthy and balanced and efficient soils. They are functionalized molecules that can function as photosensitizers, maintain water, bind to clays, act as plant development energizers, and also scavenge poisonous toxins. No artificial product can match humic acid's physical as well as chemical flexibility."
The Top 5 Benefits of Humic Acid
For centuries, humic acids have actually confirmed to be highly advantageous for farmers. The checklist of benefits is long, as well as at times it can be complicated. So here's our easy list of the leading 5 advantages of humic acid.
1. Increased Nutrient Uptake
One of the most prominent and also well-known advantage of humic (and also fulvic) acids are how they enhance nutrient uptake in plants. This is why they make such an excellent dirt change, as well as it's why they match so splendidly with plant foods. Without humic acids present, a few of the nutrients supplied by plant foods end up being unattainable to plants, so cash is shed and also plant wellness experiences. Thus, humic acids are vital for both the wellness of plants and for growers' economic well-being.
There are two methods by which humic acids enhance nutrition uptake-- with foliar as well as soil applications.
In Soil Applications:
Humic acids make nutrients a lot more offered in soil that could not otherwise be available. Exactly how precisely? It begins with the organic structure of the acids. Humic acids are normally oxidized, which provides a web negative cost. Hence, favourable ions, additionally known as "cations", are attracted to these huge particles and bind to them. This "cation exchange capability" is one-of-a-kind and very valuable attribute of humic acids. And a number of the nutrients that plants need-- such as Magnesium, Calcium, Iron, and other trace minerals-- are positively billed. So in the presence of humic acids, these nutrients unlock from the soil and also bind to humic acids. After that, they can then be moved next to the root system of the plant.
The origin systems are additionally negatively billed, at a stronger negative charge than the humic acid. So the favourable ions bound to the humic acid release for uptake right into the plant. Without this crucial system, numerous nutrients would certainly stay locked in the dirt and not available to plants they're suggested to fertilize.
In Foliar Applications:
Humic acids aren't just beneficial in soil applications. They're additionally beneficial in foliar applications, coupled with fulvic acids, which are shorter chain natural molecules. Humic acids are essential for boosting cell wall surface permeability in plants. When cell membranes become extra permeable, nutrients can more easily get in via the plant (frequently carried by fulvic acids, which are especially good chelators.).
2. Decreased Toxins
Humic acids don't simply make nutrients a lot more available. They likewise chelate hazardous toxins in the dirt, preventing them from entering the plant. This advantage is particularly vital in today's dirt atmospheres, where countless toxic substances have actually been introduced over many years, namely chemicals and heavy metals. These contaminants break down the soil top quality, as well as without proper remediation, they continue to weaken crop health and wellness and quantity. These toxic molecules are recorded by humic particles as well as locked up. Unlike nutrients, they're not uptaken by the plants, and at some point, they have actually purged away. This essential process maintains plants healthier today's increasingly tough growing atmospheres.
3. Increased Water Retention
Humic acids have a very one-of-a-kind capacity to raise water retention in the dirt. Worldwide's changing environment, this is becoming more crucial as ecological communities become strained. It's also essential for sandy, dry, and low-clay dirt.
Exactly how does it happen? The unfavourable charge of humic acids draws in favourable ions, or cations, which adhere to the humic particle. These cations, in the existence of water particles, relocate somewhat away from the humic particle and attach freely to the oxygen end of water molecules. The hydrogen finishes of those water particles after that attach to the hydrogen ends of various other water molecules. This effect lowers water evaporation by up to 30%.
4. Improved Microbial Growth
Among the most recognizable and impactful benefits of humic acids is their effect on microbial populaces on the soil. Researchers are progressively realizing just how crucial a healthy microbiome is to soil settings. And also several microorganisms populations have actually been decimated by inadequate dirt and chemicals, so it's essential that they are recovered. Humic acids help the development of microbial populaces in 2 primary methods. Initially, they provide a source of carbon which acts as a food resource for microbes. Secondly, as a result of their plus size, they give a resource for microflora to conquer. So basically humic acids give food and also a sanctuary to beneficial germs, which clarifies why microbial populaces grow in the presence of humic acids.
5. Better Overall Soil Structure
Although humic acid has a web adverse fee, it brings both positive and adverse charges. And also it has a large molecular size. Because of these homes, humic acids have the ability to bond to all dirt bits, which creates the required area for microbes and healthy origin growth. This is particularly obvious in high-clay and compacted soils, where dirt fragments are bound securely with each other. Humic molecules are even with the ability to stand clay bits on end, which permits more room and water penetration. Even more, they get rid of salts from clay, which recovers an adverse charge from the clay particles, forcing them apart.
These five main benefits bring about all kind of favourable effects in plants, consisting of far better wellness, more resistance to stress, larger size and also volume, as well as greater fruit manufacturing. Simply put, growers can't manage to proceed with a fertility program that does not include humic acids. Required more info regarding our premium humic acid items? Get in touch!

œ ... The Best Ways To Draw In Ladies Super Swift.
By far, Mario needs to be among the best identifiable and loved computer game personalities from perpetuity. If the man could learn to appreciate the female's style and the female could permit the man's way of being actually, you may possess communication. The most impressive historical monolith is without an uncertainty the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, which is actually the only one from the 7 Miracles from the Early Planet which continues to be intact. Create an adjustment, discover the sturdy, self-assured man you know you have constantly been destined to be. Besides, this is actually better to be along with a man that wants you back, in the same way that you desire them. You performed not give it to him even if you possessed an added dollar, you might've actually had an additional buck, you gave it to him due to the fact that you really felt bad for him, and you might unknown this.

Stop Subsidizing the Wrong Food Crops Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola As farming has transitioned from a once localized industry to an international one, it's brought with it a new set of challenges for U.S. farmers. Spurred in part by a growing demand for biofuel, along with federal subsidy programs, about 180 million additional acres of corn and soybeans have been planted around the world over the last decade. In the U.S., this two-crop cycle of corn and soybeans has become the dominant model in the Midwest, thanks to the federal farm policy that subsidizes these crops, with devastating consequences to human health and the environment. Rotating between these two genetically engineered (GE) crops is problematic for many reasons. By leaving fields bare for much of the nongrowing season, erosion levels are high, as is pollution from fertilizer and pesticides, which are applied heavily. Pollution runoff from Midwest farms is so bad that it contributes to the "dead zone" of oxygen-depleted water that's killing marine life in the Gulf of Mexico. Even the farmers, who experienced record-high harvests in 2016, according to a report by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), are in trouble. The abundance has led to an oversupply that has driven down prices, such that "U.S. farm incomes are expected to drop to their lowest levels since 2002."1 In October 2016, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced it would be making more than $7 billion in payments to bail out farmers due to market downturns that occurred during the 2015 crop year.2 The payments were intended to "provide reassurance to Americans' farm families" affected by low commodity prices and unfavorable growing conditions. But further bail outs and subsidizing of the problematic two-crop system are only going to worsen the problem. Instead of subsidizing this unsustainable model, federal farm policy should provide incentives for farmers to diversify their crops, which UCS found could lead to remarkable benefits all-around. Crop Diversification Benefits Farmers and the Environment The UCS report highlighted modified cropping systems being studied by Iowa State University researchers. They've compared the typical two-year corn-soybean rotation system with two more diversified systems: a three-year program that adds in oats with a cover crop of red clover in the cool season and a four-year system that adds in oats with an alfalfa cover crop followed by another year of alfalfa for harvest. Cover crops more than double carbon inputs into the soil,3 and when you add carbon back into the soil the carbon feeds mycorrhizal fungi that eventually produce glomalin, which may be even better than humic acid at retaining water. This means you naturally limit your irrigation needs and make your garden or fields more resilient during droughts. Cover crops also improve soil structure and reduce erosion. So, not surprisingly, the Iowa State research found the longer, more diversified crop rotations led to improved yields and profits with less chemical usage and pollution. Specifically, UCS reported that, compared to the corn-soy rotation, the more diversified systems:4 Increased average corn yields by 2 percent to 4 percent, and average soybean yields by 10 percent to 17 percent Were just as profitable Reduced herbicide use by 25 percent to 51 percent Reduced herbicide runoff in water by 81 percent to 96 percent Reduced nitrogen fertilizer application by 43 percent to 57 percent This is impressive, but it doesn't end there. UCS then analyzed what would happen if diverse crop rotations and no tillage (plowing) were adopted in the 25 Iowa counties with the most erodible soils. This relatively simple swap led to dramatic improvements, including:5 Reducing soil erosion by 91 percent compared with tilled corn-soy Saving taxpayers and downstream communities $196 million to $198 million per year in surface water cleanup costs Net reductions in heat-trapping gases valued at $74 million to $78 million per year The report found that diverse crop rotations could eventually be adopted on 20 percent to 40 percent of Iowa's farmland, without changing crop prices, and would reduce soil erosion by 88 percent compared with the current predominant tilled corn-soy model. "Taxpayers would gain a total of $241 million to $505 million in environmental benefits every year," UCS noted.6 The Des Moines Register reported on one farmer, Seth Watkins, who has already transitioned to crop diversification, grazing cattle on pasture and even restoring hundreds of his acres to natural prairie and wildlife reserves — with improved profits. "My job as a farmer is not to produce; my job is to care for the land," Watkins said. "And when I do this properly, this provides for all of us."7 Federal Farm Policies Created the Disastrous Corn-Soybean Cropping System While it would seem that farmers would be scrambling to adopt a more diversified cropping approach, many barriers stand in their way. There can be significant costs in the short term to stray from their usual rotation, for instance, and markets for oats and other grains are not as developed as those for corn and soy. Further, many farmers lack the practical know-how to convert to more complex crop rotations, as well access to research showing that doing so would be beneficial. Public funding for such initiatives is scarce, according to UCS, which also pointed to major crop insurance and credit constraints:8 "Until recently, federal crop insurance programs have discouraged complex rotations. In 2014, Congress extended coverage to diversified farmers with a new Whole Farm Revenue Protection program. But many county insurance agents lack training on this program and may not recommend it to farmers who could benefit from it. And lenders unfamiliar with the potential profitability of longer rotation systems may be unwilling to make the loans that farmers need in order to adopt them." Farmers may also receive premium discounts and higher premium subsidies when they plant corn and soybean acres.9 Unfortunately, only 2.6 percent of U.S. croplands are planted with cover crops.10 Food & Environment Reporting Network noted that nearly half of farmers who say they're interested in trying cover crops hold back because of concerns about crop insurance, and a 2015 National Wildlife Federation survey found "over one-third reported that they'd been told by an agent or adjuster that using cover crops could put a claim at risk of denial."11,12 Kansas regenerative farmer Gail Fuller experienced this firsthand, when his federally funded crop insurance company denied his six-figure claim for compensation during the 2012 drought. Their basis was Fuller's use of cover crops, which the company requires be killed off before the cash-crop is planted. High winds prevented Fuller from doing so. He took the case to court and was eventually given the payment, but there's still a perception among farmers that using cover crops could put their insurance payments at risk. Since federal farm policies helped create the problem, they should also be part of the solution, which is why the UCS report suggested policymakers should expand incentives and strengthen up front financial support to encourage farmers to shift to diverse crop rotations. They also advise strengthening crop insurance coverage for diversified farms while increasing public support for research and demonstration projects on diverse rotations.13 "I don't know that I need to be subsidized for doing the right thing. I just want us to stop subsidizing the wrong things," Watkins told The Des Moines Register.14 Grass Fed Beef, Bison Are Part of the Solution By mimicking the natural behavior of migratory herds of wild grazing animals — meaning allowing livestock to graze freely, and moving the herd around in specific patterns — farmers can support nature's efforts to regenerate and thrive. This kind of land management system promotes the reduction of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) by sequestering it back into the soil where it can do a lot of good. Once in the earth, the CO2 can be safely stored for hundreds of years and adds to the soil's fertility. While still thought of as a niche market, the Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture in New York released a report showing that grass fed systems could be expanded — enough so to compete with the polluting and inhumane concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) currently supplying the majority of U.S. beef.15 Two major hurdles stand in their way, the first being CAFOs, which have access to more efficient supply chains and slaughterhouses. For instance, farmers must use USDA-approved slaughterhouses, and laws place special restrictions on grass fed slaughtering. If a grass fed rancher doesn't have access to a slaughterhouse, he cannot stay in business. This shrewd strategy effectively maintains the CAFO status quo because grass fed farmers are often forced to ship their animals hundreds of miles for "processing" — a move that's both costly and stressful. Imports of grass fed beef, which make up 75 percent to 80 percent of U.S. grass fed beef sales by value, are another hurdle. Australia and Brazil can produce grass fed beef at a lower cost, as their climate allows for year-round grazing. U.S. consumers may not know the grass fed beef they purchase isn't from the U.S., however, because as long as a piece of imported beef passes through a USDA-inspected plant, it can be labeled as a "Product of the USA." These hurdles, and others, are not insurmountable. The report found that the U.S. grass fed beef market could grow from niche to mainstream if the following actions are taken:16 The grass fed industry should focus on producing high-quality, grass fed beef year-round Stronger standards for the grass fed label, accompanied by consumer education about grass fed beef Utilize existing infrastructure used for conventional beef to "unlock supply chain inefficiencies" Establish well-managed, scaled-up finishing systems to produce grass fed beef at low cost Although not addressed in the report, bison could also be part of the solution. The National Bison Association, which recently launched a "Bison Hump Day" campaign to encourage people to eat bison meat on Wednesdays and increase the bison population in North America to 1 million in the next decade. As with grass fed beef, free-ranging bison also have the potential to increase natural grasslands and reduce pollution in the U.S. Dave Cater, executive director of the National Bison Association, told Delicious Living:17 "We think that more bison on the land is a good thing, not only for people that love to eat bison and people who love to raise bison, but for the land itself. This is the animal that helped shape the ecosystem of North America. We think that bringing more bison back helps restore acres of native grasslands and range lands." Grass Fed Dairy Is Also an Expanding Market What goes hand in hand with crop diversification and grass fed meat? Grass fed dairy. There are a number of reasons to seek out grass fed dairy products. Milk from cows raised primarily on pasture has been shown to be higher in many nutrients, including vitamin E, beta-carotene and the healthy fats omega-3 and CLA.18 And on an environmental level, grass fed dairy has a considerably reduced footprint compared to the way most dairy is produced on CAFOs. Farms producing grass fed dairy products are able to naturally regenerate the soil and maintain ecological balance without relying on chemical fertilizers and pesticides. And on an ethical level, cows are designed to eat grass. When they eat corn and grain, not only does the quality of their milk degrade but they live in a state of chronic inflammation, which increases their risk of infection and disease. While all organic dairy is supposed to be grass fed, not all organic dairy is created equal. While some are offering truly superior milk that comes from grass fed cows raised on pasture, others are passing off industrially produced milk as organic — and pocketing the increased profits while small family farms struggle to survive. As noted by the Cornucopia Institute, an organic industry watchdog whose core constituencies are family farmers across the U.S. and consumers concerned about the availability and quality of organic foods:19 "Despite the benefits of grass-based dairying, it is still important for consumers to know their product suppliers. Buyers should beware of a grass-fed label that does not take into account how grazing practices impact the environment. A grass-fed label reflects what animals are fed and doesn't necessarily distinguish whether the milk product was produced on well-managed, environmentally friendly farms that are not overgrazed." The solution is to either get to know a local farmer who is producing grass fed milk the right way, or look for the American Grassfed Association (AGA) certification. AGA-approved producers are certified according to strict standards that include being raised on a diet of 100 percent forage; raised on pasture and never confined to a feedlot; never treated with antibiotics or hormones; and born and raised on American family farms. You can also check out Cornucopia's Organic Dairy Scorecard.20 Their goal is to empower you to make informed purchasing decisions. You might be surprised to see many big-name organic brands that rank near the bottom of the list, even receiving a "zero" rating. In this case, it's not worth your money to pay for an "organic" product that's likely no better than conventional. You'd be better served by supporting the ethical farms that received a 4- or 5-cow rating instead (meaning their farming practices are either excellent or outstanding). Where You Get Your Food Matters Sourcing your foods from a local farmer is one of your best bets to ensure you're getting something wholesome. And, you'll be supporting the small farms — not the mega-farming corporations — in your area. Ideally, support farmers who are using diverse cropping methods, such as planting of cover crops, raising animals on pasture and other methods of regenerative agriculture. Another option is to join a community supported agriculture (CSA) program. Doing so can make a big difference in how well a small family farm can survive and thrive. As a CSA member, you buy a "share" of the vegetables the farm produces, and each week during growing season (usually May through October) you receive a weekly delivery of fresh food. Joining a CSA is a powerful investment not only in your own health, but in that of your local community and economy as well. If you live in the U.S., the following organizations can help you locate CSAs and other farm-fresh foods in your area: ✓ EatWild.com EatWild.com provides lists of certified organic farmers known to produce safe, wholesome raw dairy products as well as grass-fed beef and other organic produce.
