Blog #10  Hot News


REGENERATION AGRICULTURE  will likely become more of a household term as the term ORGANIC. Is is the newest news happening in the farming industry. It consists of minimizing tillage of the soil,  keeping  the land covered with plants at all times, rotating a diversity of crops and grazing livestock across the fields. I had always heard that rotating crops was a good idea, but I had not heard about not not tilling the soil. I lived in the San Joaquin Valley for over 40 years and I have seen some vineyards being pulled out and replaced by fruit trees in the last five years. This practice is supposed to get carbon out of the air and into the soil. I hope to learn more about this process and if it is going to help our environment then, let it be.
