Low rainfall or drought will cause low yields, and heavy rain will damage or wipe out your crops. Cost of production: it depends on the input cost and yield, making it highly variable. Combining input cost and yield variations makes the cost of producing a source of farming risk. High demand will affect the price positively.

This approach is gaining popularity due to increasing fertilizer and pesticide costs, fragile ecosystems that provide essential water and air quality services, and increased attention for local and regional food systems. However, the long-term potential and total quantity of carbon storage is still very much up for debate.

In a sea of conventional (read ‘intensive’) farms, what made these farmers turn their backs on the practices which they know work well to produce high yields? We met with four inspiring farmers who are going against the grain (pun intended – Nebraska’s main crop is corn) and adopting regenerative agriculture practices.

I had to admit, although I was managing the finances, the milking herd, and the crops, it probably wasnt me or anyone else in the family. When I later became an Extension ag engineer, I became even more painfully aware of how the more yield and greater efficiency approach to commodity production was affecting the people I was trying to help.

While these breeding programs furthered the base of scientific knowledge around plant breeding and led to significant increases in yields, farmers were slowly pushed out of their historical role as the primary stakeholders in seed saving and development. A better system would allow farmers to diversify the range of species they produce.

Evidence shows there are no significant yield losses from planting seeds without neonic coatings. While the agrichemical industry claims farmers “carefully select the right pesticide for each pest and crop at issue” and “only use pesticides as a last resort,” when it comes to neonics, that is false in most cases. This is true.
