    What field ended up with the best yield?

  • @b_uppy
    @b_uppyАй бұрын

    In the picture at 0:45 the field on the right looks more flooded, because of the water levels on the road. Is this a real example? Typically conventionally plowed fields have lower water permeability and you're just saying it's conventionally managed because you confused the pics?? Good management means avoiding bare soil/fallow field practices that decrease air and water permeability...

    The field on the left has standing water (which looks white from the reflection of the sky in this photo). The field on the right with living plants and covered soil does not have standing water, illustrating the impact of management practices.

    @b_uppyАй бұрын

    If you look along the road on the right where the road converges in the distance it still looks like it's flooded, it's just with plantings too. It's the lighter areas where the plant life is lower to the ground that the water looks present. Looks more like the water is sheeting over the road from a higher area on the right to the lower area on the left, which would explain why it's is less brown, (a big positive) thus less erosion because the greenery retained soil, AND slowed water speed. Think the picture does tell a positive story, but a different one than narrated. I do believe in the positive impact of avoiding by soilby always having them covered with living plants.. Still think photos got mixed up.

    I've been farming since i was 17...41 now. All this is great. cover crops...organic matter. very important. what's not talked about is re-mineralization. If you've been farming an area for more then 5+ years and not putting those major macro and micro nutrients back....back more living compost isn't gonna help. The biology is crucial but if the minerals arnt there for them to chelate and turn those minerals into a bioavailable forms that thevplants can't take up. The clay sand and silt should have enough minerals to sustain plant growth with enough organic material. but if you keep farming out all those minerals year after year without putting it back....all the organic matter in the world isn't gonna help. organic matter , keeping living roots in the ground using cover crops but adding back the minerals is the other part that's needed.

    Traditional farming communities in Korea developed a system called JADAM, which has been proven to be used to make the land more alive. Namely maximizing the use of plants that have certain ingredients that are adapted to local conditions, livestock manure, mineral salt water, and other materials that are easily available nearby, then connected and integrated with the food chain system between plants, animals and humans, including the use of microorganisms. . I have started applying it to several areas of land that have been damaged, because the humus has been lost due to mining activities on the island of Kalimantan, where the condition of the soil is very similar to the condition of dry desert soil and is almost rocky. This effort is showing very good results and if this is tried to be applied on the African continent and other desert lands, it seems that it will slowly improve naturally and bring benefits that move very quickly. Greetings from me in Indonesia and it would be very good if the JADAM system which was pioneered by agricultural experts in Korea is implemented. Please see this method which has been widely broadcast on many KZread channels, as a reference. Good luck and greetings to a healthy and green earth.

    I saw the most interesting video, the farmer was planting lemon grass in clumps between his sapling fruit trees then cutting it down for mulch. Brilliant supply of mulch that can be applied anywhere. Lemon grass is a lovely commercial crop in some countries.

    It’s odd to see the mass production of wheat when that’s what causes our own “living soil” (gut microbiome) to go haywire and cause so many diseases that are killing us. Go against nature and you pay.

    the farming on land also has a direct impact on the health of the oceans that surround the area...as an oyster farmer you fight with the health of your animals and water quality issues your entire career.by cleaning up land farming practices you will also help fisherman increase their productivity, with less disease and mortality issues.

    there has a country it has 25 tv channels and 25 FM radio's s. and 60% of population in that country are farmers .(records says) but no body making a documentary like this . but they have teledramas.. comedy programs. political fights every night . useless gossip talks in every morning. and Tamil and Sinhala dance films in every evening for school kids. super stars... fake news(ISIS drama) etc. and some advertisements targeted (humiliating ) majority low cost domestic things and outside things. And alternatives in minds . its a very sad situation 90% of tv FM frequency's owned and controlling by out siders using inside frog mentality frogs. saddest situation going on everywhere.... but they are so scientific modern society lovers and guys only front t of majority and domestic culture and low cost sustainable stable alternative's.. ..
