[QUOTE="soilbug, post: 7908772, member: 3925"] Elaine's food web - 2 main issues. The first is that building organic matter is essential in order to make a profit - you will buy less fertiliser because soil microbes will live off the OM and 'mine' the extra fertiliser from the soil materials - your agronomist won't tell you this! Crops will be healthier, need less pesticides and be easier to work or drill into as well. The second is that crops grown in high OM% soil will be more drought proof and nutrient rich, meaning healthier animals and humans. Try your worst field with a special soil test by Forageplus in Wales as the best way to exploit this. [/QUOTE]
