And just like that we go from solubilizing urea yesterday to applying it on our fields today. 5 gal of solution with 5 water for a 10gal ride. Herbicide plus full nutrition pkg. applied at the 3 leaf stage for max yield potential. Oh yeah, no up front N...none.

In Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment-Review of Amino Acid Foliar Application as a Stress Mitigation Strategy: Unraveling the Protective Mechanisms Against Abiotic Stress - Ma - 2026 - onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Real interesting review paper on the role a wide array of root exudates play in shaping soil microbial communities and mitigating plant stress. Root exudates include a lot more than "cookies and cakes."

Interesting new open source paper on MAOM-N, Mineral-associated organic nitrogen pool size, composition, and accessibility mediated by agricultural management and soil geochemical characteristics. Link to full paper here: tinyurl.com/mnv5ntb9 Below are some excerpts: "...Organic matter can provide a relatively slow-cycling source of bioavailable N that may be better matched to plant demand than mineral N fertilizers (Franklin et al., 2017, Yang et al., 2020)..." "...However, in many soils, the majority of SOM-N is held within mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM).." "....Agricultural management practices could also exert a significant influence on MAOM-N stocks (Villarino et al., 2023). On average, soils maintained under long-term cropping systems contain 37 % less MAOM-N compared to grasslands (Lugato et al., 2021). Tillage practices are likely partly responsible for this observed decline: soils maintained under conventional tillage may contain 9–20 % less MAOM-N compared to soils maintained under reduced tillage practices (Jilling et al., 2020, St. Luce et al., 2022). Mineral N fertilizers applied to agricultural soils can accelerate MAOM-N loss by stimulating microbial decomposition or through pH changes that disrupt mineral-organic associations (Ren et al., 2024). Agricultural management may also reduce the quantity of new organic N inputs available to form MAOM-N. A decrease in the amount and diversity of root exudates and other rhizodeposits under annual monocropping systems has been linked to a decline in SOM stocks and mean residence time compared to soils maintained under perennial grasslands and mixed croplands (Cotrufo et al., 2022, Domeignoz-Horta et al., 2024, Eisenhauer et al., 2017, Ma et al., 2022, Poeplau et al., 2021, Seitz et al., 2023)...." cc. @Johnkempf @IntegratedSoils @samdknowlton @UnderstandingAg @CSUChicoRegenAg @MattPowersSoil @SusFoodTrust @ffinlocostain

A selection of upcoming webinars for the new year, I'll be taking part in the biochar discussion... see you there. linkedin.com/posts/food4sust…

🪱🐜 Happy #WorldSoilDay!! 🕷️🪲 Although we celebrate soil everyday, today is a great reminder to appreciate the breadth of diversity beneath our feet. Check out the GSBI atlas to explore the organisms that call soil home! globalsoilbiodiversity.org/a…

Foliar feeding PAYS, but we were told it does NOT! How far is ag BEHIND because we were told something did NOT work and we did not push back and or do our own research? From the best treatment to the check is just under 25 bushels better. Second guess standard ag, and continue to look for answers. This is what we focus on. How to become more efficient. This is also why we build our own data and don’t rely on everyone else’s data and a bunch of outdated information!

Looking forward to this tour of Saskatchewan in November- talking Nitrogen and Cover Crops

🌾#SaskAg, let’s talk nitrogen! From Nov 12–19, join a workshop with @IntegratedSoils designed to help you optimize inputs, improve #soilhealth, & build resilient cropping systems. Find a workshop near you: sasksoil.ca/event #SustainableFarming #SaskAg

Learn how #covercrops can improve your bottom line from an internationally recognized soil educator. Dig into the types & timing of adding cover crops to your rotation at one of our fall workshops with @IntegratedSoils. 🎫 sasksoil.ca/event #SustainableFarming #SaskAg
