An increasing number of farmers and Scientists believe the foundational ideas of mainstream Agronomy are incomplete and unsound.
Their remarkable insights will challenge you, encourage you, and inspire gratitude and joy for the rewards of working with natural systems..
In Quality Agriculture, John interviews a group of growers, consultants, and Scientists who describe how to think and farm differently in order to produce exceptional results in the field.
As a leading agronomist and teacher, John Kempf has implemented Regenerative agricultural systems on millions of acres across many different crop types and growing regions with his team at Advancing Eco Agriculture.
Using these principles, Growers are able to decrease fertilizer applications, reduce disease and insect pressure, hold more water in the soil, improve soil health, and grow crops that are more resilient to climatic extremes, increasing farm profitability immediately.
They have developed practices that regenerate soil and plant health and that deliver much better results than mainstream methods.
However, Innovative Growers and researchers are beginning to think differently about production agriculture systems.
Fertilizer recommendations keep going up, pest pressure becomes more intense, pesticide applications are needed more often, and soil health continues to degrade.
Conventional crop production ignores biology in favor of chemical interventions, leading farmers to buy inputs they don\'t need.
