We're losing soil organic matter.

[Sunsettommy]

The "Dust Bowl" was losing grasslands out of the front door. What is happening now is like losing them out of the back door.

Just as I expected you didn't learn anything as you came back with a whole new issue over mostly non farmland losses.

The topic is about organic matter in food cropping practices which you started with in post #1 while I posted a variety of information you keep deflecting which is an indication you are working from ignorance on a subject you clearly lack knowledge in.

Not going to follow your dishonest deflection here.

There is nothing on earth more important than healthy soils for growing our food, however, thanks to the brainiacs that run our agricultural systems we are depleting our soils of needed organic matter. This despite obvious ways to increase it.

I need my ponds dredged. Farmers are welcome to the sediments.

You are so ignorant that you are not aware of far off the mark you are.

I'm not addressing the past.

So, you don't believe that the agriculture industry is aware of this problem? I guess you never heard of the Dust Bowl?

Where did you get your Ag degree from?

Yes, you are right, the brainiacs that feed the billions of people and livestock on earth, are depleting the soil.

We should do as the democrats dictate, save the soil and starve billions on earth.

Ancient farmers knew all about organics

Then science came along and replaced manure with chemicals, assisted by machines, because it involved less physical labor and needed less manpower

Modern regenerative farming combines the old with the new for the best of both worlds

Perhaps you don't know money is earned. Let me help you-- growing something that nobody will buy at your cost of growing it puts a big old "-" on your books. "-" means you lost more money than you spent, for which you earn nothing. Growing soy and selling it at a loss isn't going to pay a thing toward your precious combine. It will, however, make your combine worth less because you put another year's wear and tear on it. Do it again next year, and you will have a bigger loss and a less valuable combine.
Tobacco farmers learned the hardway you can pout and pout but that doesn't pay a single bill. Change crops or go belly up.


You're welcome.

Aww ... you don't know now money is accounted for ... we use parentheses to indicate losses ... as in ($6.03) ...

As far as switching crops ... what crops will cows and pigs eat? ... ha ha ha ha ha ha ... or do you think all this corn and soy production is for human consumption ... HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW ... go ahead and grow 1,000 acres of tomatoes in Missouri ... all the ******* canneries are in California ... cityslicking flatlanders don't know how food is made ...

Americans eat meat ... so farmers produce beef and pork ... which come from cows and pigs ... who eat corn and soybeans ... stupid ... that's why farmers keep growing corn and soy beans ... any other crop earns less money ... especially after hiring illegal immigrants from Mexico to pick the crops the cows and pigs won't eat ...

Compare the entire Upper Midwest to any county in California's Central Valley or Imperial Valley ... see the problem now? ... we can't grow our own vegetables cheaper than just buying California food ... try it yourself, and maybe learn how food is made ...

Best of both worlds:

Agricultural workers replaced by chemicals and machines.
Industrial workers now being replaced by computerized robotic production.
Next, architects and other planners replaced by A.I.
What's coming is the obsolescence of humans in agriculture, business, and industry. Katy bar the door.

MAGA signs will be auctioned at the bankruptcy sale either way. Guess what, Americans don't like tofu and China ain't buying their crap any more. Grow something else or go tits up. Trump screwed farmers.

As our manufacturing base was given away to china the US became more dependent on agriculture to balance our trade deficit

We can easily feed ourselves, china cant

And we can make stuff in America again

And force china to eat the cheap trade goods they used to export to America

The pig's ass is waiting for you, Cletus. Have your fun, weirdo.

You call someone a dope and then post something dopey ... isn't that asking for it? ...

The sheer amount of chemicals being dumped onto our soils should reveal that our soils are depleted.

Modern farming is destroying our soils, and much more. Our waterways are a mess because of polluting runoff from "modern agriculture".

Never said everything was alright a LIE you are promoting to bolster your ignorant replies.

I already told you they have been posting that stuff for decades saw this back in 1980 when I was studying Soils Agronomy meanwhile crop yields continue to increase to this day as stated back at Post #15 LINK

I studied Soils Agronomy for 3 years did field tests of soils from Pasco to Walla Walla and help build a giant Irrigation circle and visited farms in Idaho and Washington in how they used their soils, the Farmer in Idaho made sure and I saw it firsthand that NO irrigation water left his fields a great way to keep all of his soils.

There will always be some soil erosion as nature does that naturally what matters is the process of rebuilding soils is allowed to process which farmer have learned much over the decades as they continue to reduce the waste of irrigation water, reduce tilling, to spread out the nitrogen to safeguard the soil microbes and more.

I have been to more than 20 seminars with academics, farmers and scientists teaching on Soil health and productivity which is why I know you are being misled.

You really should stop with your ignorant postings.

Soil agronomy involves the study of soil properties, management practices, and their impact on crop production. It integrates knowledge from various disciplines, including soil science, plant biology, and environmental science, to optimize agricultural practices while conserving natural resources.

Here is the home organization of professional Agronomists who have a vested interest in keeping our farmlands healthy and sustainable.

American Society of Agronomy (ASA)

Agronomy feeds the world​

The American Society of Agronomy is a leading scientific and professional organization dedicated to advancing agronomy and sustainable agricultural practices.

Yawn, this has been going on for over 100 years now, they have learned much over time which is why they long ago stopped injecting soils with many bad chemicals and with numerous colleges training farmers and more to better husband their soils have been injecting weed killers, elements and seeds all in a single pass to reduce negative impacts on soils.

You are a pseudo environmentalists who push misleading crap because you don't understand shit.
