It's All About The Soil
Your soil is the most important asset to your farm and business. Healthy soils are alive with a buzzing network of soil microbes, organisms and bacteria. All these organisms work together to help your plants absorb the nutrients and water they need for healthy growth. Healthy soils not only benefit the plants and your crop, stock benefit from healthy plants, as does the planet – living soils help sequester carbon from the atmosphere into the soil.
One of the most important relationships in improving the health of your soil, your crop and therefore your farm production system, is the symbiotic relationship between Mycorrhizal fungi and plants.
This fungi lives in the soil and helps the plant access nutrients which it may not be able to on its own. Not only does this relationship improve plant health, in addition, stock which feed on healthy crops put on weight faster and more efficiently.
