NEBRASKA | Sugar is instant energy for microbes, no different than for humans. However they also feed on more complex forms of carbon which takes longer to breakdown. Without healthy microbes we can't have healthy soils.
At the end of the day we are all carbon farmers. We just have gotten caught up in what we can see and think we can control above ground with "treatments" yet neglect how the plants are rooted and what we can do about maximizing what healthy soil can do for a plant.
It is crazy that someone will spend $20-30 an acre on a treatment/ chemical above ground and yet afraid to spent a fraction of that under their feet. | |
