Gary Zimmer Audio: Using Soil Tests to Manage a Healthy Operation
Gary Zimmer
Recorded live at the 2021 Eco-Ag Conference & Trade Show in Covington, Kentucky, Dec. 6-9, 2021.
Nobody teaches biological farming systems quite like Gary Zimmer, whose electric style will leave your notebook full and your energy levels on high. Soil nutrient tests are a piece of the puzzle — not the whole. They give us clues to the best starting point on the path to soil resilience and producing nutrient-rich high yielding crops. Soil health tests, plant tissue tests, and sap tests also have their place. They help inform management decisions, as well as help determine which practices are needed, including controlled tillage, cover crops and using carbon-based fertilizer, etc. Come and learn about an extreme soil management system we are following on our own farm; the results are unbelievable.
