The Emporia, Kansas, farmer is convinced he’s found a better way to farm—one
that’s in nature’s image, rebuilding and regenerating soil that’s been degraded
over the past several decades. “We’ve got to get our soil back to the state it
was in when buffalo roamed the prairies,” he says. “In order to do that we’ve
got to rebuild organic matter, we’ve got to improve water infiltration, we’ve
got to get soils back into the balance where they supply their own fertility,
and we’ve got to rebuild microbial communities.” |
