Acid rain falling downwind of industrial processes acidifies soils much quicker, as was observed during the 19 th and 20 th centuries. Page 397) Manmade Soil Acidification The processes listed above naturally take a long time to play out and find an equilibrium. Second, rain is naturally slightly acidic and adds H + to the soil.

Two neighbors, Farmer A and Farmer B: both farm 1,000 acres and use the same crop rotation schedule. Farmer A tills 30% of their fields, uses cover crops on 20%, and applies anhydrous ammonia. Farmer B tills 50% of their fields, uses cover crops on 40%, and uses stable nitrogen sources. Consider this scenario.

Of course, some of these processes are natural—but healthy soils have the resiliency to resist excess erosion, whereas degraded soils are more vulnerable to even natural climatic cycles. Farmers can use techniques like no-till growing, cover cropping, rotational grazing and planting, and implementing other buffers against erosion. “We

This includes recording weather patterns, soil conditions, irrigation practices, crop yields, and any other relevant metrics. As weather patterns become increasingly unpredictable, it's more challenging to plan crop rotations, planting, irrigation, and other tasks that depend heavily on the weather.

Each member typically has an equal say in the decision-making process, regardless of the size of their operation. When farmers pool their resources, they can invest in local infrastructure, such as processing facilities, distribution networks, equipment, and storage units. One issue is member engagement and participation.

Agricultural chemical products can also speed up natural processes that further deplete soil nutrients. According to the University of Tennessee’s Institute of Agriculture , soil testing should be done on all crop types anytime a nutrient deficiency is detected or at the start of crop rotation.
