How Farmers and Ranchers Fix Water Quality Issues (WCP 436) | Working Cows - Regenerative... YouTube video by Working Cows Podcast - a Regenerative Ranching Pod

Enjoyed discussing how agriculture can be a solution to water quality problems rather than a cause on the Working Cows Podcast. youtu.be/tfsRX1erLgA?...

We can fix water quality problems at scale by addressing the underlying cause, which is dysfunctional soil, rather than treating symptoms. Biological approaches to nutrient management can help drive positive change. #soilhealth #waterquality #regenerativeagriculture

Replace U.K. with U.S. and this is still spot on.

Happy to join, thanks!

I'm home, but not many ag folks from X are joining the party.

Rhizophagy Cycle with Dr. James White YouTube video by Green Cover Seed

This took me down a rabbit hole. Now I look at the soil in awe and with humility. There’s still so much I don’t know, but this presentation opened not only a door but a whole building.

I created a new starter pack for farmers, agronomists, researchers, and supporters of #soilhealth and #regenerativeagriculture, from small farms to watersheds to global scale adoption. Let's all collaborate and learn from each other. Let me know if you'd like to be added. go.bsky.app/SWVwnSi

Funny how the climate changes at the Iowa border 😁

I'm looking to put together a starter pack for #regenerativeagriculture and #soilhealth folks geared towards broadacre agriculture but I don't know who to connect with here. Who wants in?

Please add me, thanks!

Thanks, this is what I've been looking for. Would love to join.

I'm working on a 'food and agriculture' starter pack. This is an area that seemed pretty active on Twitter that I still haven't found similar engagement here. Let me know if you have any folks that should be added here (I'm certain to be missing many, still). go.bsky.app/GaFEGwk

What's the best field method for determining seed viability? Know a producer that just mowed a diverse mix with mustard in it because he was worried about it going to seed before frost kill.

Hi all, I'm new to Bluesky. Looking to connect and learn from folks interested in #soilhealth #regenerativeagriculture #agroecology
