No cropping system is drought proof, but there are things that farmers can do to mitigate the effects of a dry year. North Carolina State University's Dr. Chris Reberg-Horton discusses how cover crops affect water dynamics through the life-cycle of the cash crop.
In our “germ-phobic” society today, the role of soil microorganisms is often grossly misunderstood. To many of us, the only good bug is a dead bug. But in this “Science of Soil Health” video vignette, Dr. Kris Nichols, USDA-ARS in Mandan, North Dakota, discusses why—when it comes to soil health—we need to change our thinking about microorganisms. Watch the short video.
The Science of Soil Health video: Measuring the impact of improving soil health
There’s an old adage that says “What you cannot measure, you cannot manage.” But, what if you could accurately measure all of the nitrogen in your soils? In this first in a series of “The Science of Soil Health” videos, film maker and researcher Buz Kloot visits Dr. Rick Haney in Temple, TX to talk about his breakthrough research in this area. Watch the video.
