4 Soil Scientists.
10 Days.
4400 acres of western high desert to map and sample.
No problem.
Here's some @WenckTeam soil scientists profiling and sampling alluvial floodplain soils (yes, deserts have floodplain soils, they just form sloooowly). #wedoitforthedata

Proud to be improving the watershed to the might Mississippi, using no glyphosate, no herbicide, no neonics, no Petro synthetic fertilizers; only holistic lifetime grazed diverse grasslands. Stop the dead zone. Regenerate instead. #thousandhills

#CoverCrops have proven benefits for #SoilHealth. Additionally, a recent Iowa Soybean Association study shows that #CoverCrops can also reduce the input costs associated with growing crops.

Just a bit off the top! This is how the #RelayCrop should look after harvest. Hopefully we can finish #Harvest2020 at this plot today. #SoilHealth 🤘🌱

We are pleased to announce that the agenda for our 5th Annual Meeting, Soil Health: The Foundation for Regenerative Agriculture, is now available on our event webpage: soilhealthinstitute.org/annu…
This 2-day, virtual event is free, but registration is required.
Back in the day, one thing that made small local abattoirs viable was selling hides to regional tanners. Now that market is nearly non-existent. Tanning is done overseas and hide values are minimal. Congrats to @ThousandHillsLG and @SavoryInstitute for trying to do better.
BIG NEWS —
@Timberland has officially partnered with Thousand Hills Lifetime Grazed and @SavoryInstitute to create a new collection of boots sourced from verified regenerative farms coming Fall 2020. 🐮👢

What if #Farmers were paid based on #CropQuality, meat quality, and environmental impact instead of just yeield...? What if the fertilizer industry was paid based on driving quality and environmental impact also...? Take the reward away from tons of fertilizer and bushels only.

Regenerative= ground cover, cattle grazing year round, frost seeding w/o tilling, more green days and a whole lot more!
