They need to have a problem, or no one would buy them.
‘Sustainable’ is the new buzz word. It doesn’t mean much as it is a grey word, how does it apply?
Even little farmers like me are using high tech to soil sample 2.5 or 5 acre grids of the fields and applying fertilizer (manure when we can get it, commercial to balance out what the next crop needs exactly) and so many other new/old ideas to raise the best crop with the least inputs.
Fertilizer is placed in bands often now, close to when and where the plant needs it. Too expensive to apply more than needed, we apply less and less fertilizer (commercial and manure) per bu than ever.
Cover crops are a very hot topic and being used on more and more acres. Some cover crops hold soil in place, some scavage and store nutrients over winter, and a few add N to the soil. And on and on.
Don’t want to overwhelm you, but there is nothing I do now like I did 20 years ago, and every 5 years I make enough changes it’s hard to remember them all.
Those books you are reading are many years out of date. They need to have a problem or they wouldn’t sell. In general, they use 49 year old info to show the ‘problem’ and then don’t show you a viable, realistic solution for today’s world.
Modern farming has already done much more than books like that show in the past decades.
‘Soil health’ is actually a very common buzz word at common Ag and farm meetings the past 5 years. It is what we farmers want. We are way ahead of your author.
