More from the Field

Oct 24, 2014

More from the FieldWe went out to the field yesterday to check the plot and take samples since Carl needs to plant next week.  I spent a few minutes talking to him about why the cover in the first place, how things evolved to this experiment and how he prepared the experimental plots.

How much fertilizer do we really need?

University of South Carolina

We live in exciting times where commercial farmers are discovering the hope of healthy soils and they are using less commercial fertilizer than they would have imagined.

Our goal is to work with Carl Coleman, farmer from Dillon, SC to test how low we can go with commercial fertilizer as he grows a wheat crop this fall. This will be good for the farmer, his neighbors and for the environment.
