When nothing is consistent about growing season weather these days, one thing that helps with consistency and stability is no-till. Over the 30 years of the @KBSLTER experiment, no-till has, on average, out-performed conventional tillage.

This time of year we can see clear differences between the @kbsltar tilled plots and the regeneratively managed plots with year round living roots. The yellowish plots are winter canola at peak flower! Thanks Ruben Ulbrich @BassoLabMSU for the great picture.

Practices we’re researching @kbsltar and @KBSLTER including cover crops and perennial field barriers offer a significant opportunity for carbon capture. Thanks @Jeffinerca for sharing the #roadstoremoval report with us @GLBioenergy conference! Check out roads2removal.org!

@BrookKBSFarm & Christine Charles shared stories about our @kbsltar transition to a #regenerativeagriculture system. Success: noticeable resilience to drought in corn grown w/ more soil health practices! Challenge: slugs are a struggle for canola in a transitioning system.

Our friends and colleagues with @MiAgAdvance & @KBSLTER are hosting a great meeting for Michigan farmers to connect and share knowledge about new and innovative practices they’re trying! Save the date! We hope to be there too!
Mark your calendars, and don't miss early-bird registration for Underground Innovations, hosted by our partners, @MiAgAdvance! In this networking event we will hear from farmers how they've come to adopt new practices and what they have planned!

So proud of #ethan weinrich - Longterm experiments allow exploring soil-plant-VAM interactions for phosporus cycling through organic farming management and cover crop species- students taking it the farmer with practical soil health @kbsltar #savesoil #biodiversity

Great talk by @kbsltar and @KBSLTER scientist @Sprunger_PhD! Soil nematode communities respond rapidly to changes in land management and also correlate with other indicators of #soilhealth (POXC, soil protein). “How can we build a soil food web database across @USLTAR” #ACSmtg

@kbsltar and @kbslter PhD student Grant Falvo presents @GLBioenergy data about long-term greenhouse gas emissions from variable land use types. Results suggest that replacing annual row crops with perennials has positive impacts on carbon sequestration. #ACSmtg
