Nutrients and irrigation speed up crop development, increase crop yield and prevent contamination. Adding the right amount of fertilizer is an essential practice for nutrient management based on your farm's goals and soil conditions. One way we see farms overspending is through the overuse of fertilizers.

Importing expensive chemical fertilizer, insisting on farming practices unsuited for local conditions, and prioritizing crop yield to maximize profit are some of the blanket agricultural prescriptions that have created unintended and lasting challenges. Food and Agriculture Organization.

Last year (2019) was the first year we started using fields that had so much time out of production, and it was amazing how much more fertility those areas had. When we build soil or trap carbon as small farmers, a lot of these costs are almost considered worthless in economic terms (except for their crop yield increases).

Pre-cultivation, the region owed the healthy pH of its soils to the lucky coincidence of sitting atop a volcanic bed. However, the topsoil is powerless to counteract the acidifying effect of ammonia-based fertilizers. Some years, it’s 9 to 12 inches, but lately, it’s more like 6 to 9. That optimizes nutrient availability.

Trackable events include plowing, minimum-till cultivation, crop rotation, crop type, cover crop presence, irrigation events, harvest date, and crop residue presence.

A 2020-21 survey conducted by DFWT recorded greater use of the uncropped fields for habitat and hunting by raptors and the endangered Great Blue Pacific Heron, compared to cultivated fields. One farmer noted to me recently that the potato crop is grown after a GLSA always has a substantial increase in yield for his fields,” says Schmalz.

The repeated application of biochar over many years turned these nutrient-poor soils into fertile agricultural land. Sonoma county encompasses many environments: wet and foggy coastal redwoods, agriculturally fertile valleys, interior coast range oak woodland, densely populated cities, rural communities, and thriving tribal groups.
