Sustainable Farming in Extreme Conditions (Stiefvater 2/3)

Even if a farmer does everything right, Mother Nature doesn't always cooperate.

When we farm conventionally, these extreme weather conditions can often lead to a complete crop failure. But when we incorporate soil health principles, we start to conserve available nutrients and water and protect our soils against erosion. All of this leads to a more sustainable way of growing crops —  despite what Mother Nature hands us.
