Farming and ranching involve the fields of biology, ecology, chemistry, botany, physics, geology, meteorology, politics, economics, psychology and mechanics, just to name a few. In fact, from 2008-2016, croplands expanded at a rate of over one million acres per year, with the eastern half of the Dakotas leading the charge.

farmers are using a new solution to treat soil compaction – a problem that affects over 68 million acres of farmland and significantly reduces crop yields. Unpac® , developed by Locus Agriculture, is an innovative biosurfactant soil amendment that successfully breaks up soil compaction through fermentation-derived technology.

For me, well, I was taking an introductory soil science class in a two-year horticulture degree program at Farmingdale State College on Long Island, NY. In that soil science class, I learned all about soil horizons, particle size ranges that comprise sand, loam, and clay, pH, N,P,K, and the fact soil compaction inhibits plant growth.

Our disruptions must be planned and purposeful, built around an understanding as to how they impact the soil resource and its ability to not only recover but to restore vital ecosystem functions, such as the ability to capture and store water from precipitation and cycle nutrients. We want to mix things up.
