This quoate came from the Corn and Soybean digest link above..... "When we were conventional, our soils were in the low 1% organic matter," he recalls. "In the past 10 years we have increased those soils up to 3% to 4.5% We've seen huge increases in our cation exchange capacity, and our earthworm population is exploding I didn't think CEC could be changed much in a soil and going from 1% organic matter to 3 - 4.5% in 10 years is totally amazing ! |
