Well, all that carbon would only get in the way of being "efficient" anyway
"Gives you a clean entry for the next crop"
"The soil works better after a good burn"
How far off biochar would the remaining ash be....probably too far gone.Well, all that carbon would only get in the way of being "efficient" anyway

What else does farmer of the year get up to?

It's been a while since I've seen burning stubble - usually it's a result of a burning baler!Well, all that carbon would only get in the way of being "efficient" anyway

Heard one bloke on the radio who had lost 60,000 breeders . . .
There was another story of an AA Co place that had spent millions in the last few years on earth works building banks & high refuges for cattle in times of flood - they all went a metre under water
They reckon the cold killed as many cattle as the water did - unbelievable to die of cold in the Gulf Country in February

Poor bästards .
We don't know how lucky we are, being so compact - never far from the flats to high ground.

Yes. CAN you turn straw into biochar? I thought biochar was part burnt then left to "cook" in the absence of oxygen. Straw burns so fast I'd think that would be impossible in the field.How far off biochar would the remaining ash be....probably too far gone.
It's going good thanks. A couple of weeks left in the first course, should go and pick the second one soon. Maybe it won't have so much equipment in it
There's quite a few ecosystems that have evolved to require a burn to give things a boost."The soil works better after a good burn"
