Successful agriculture starts with the soil.
To grow nutritious, healthy and healthful crops, the soil is the foundation. Biological farmers find that with good soil conditions, they have fewer weed pests and diseases. That means they need less of the expensive and toxic chemicals that pollute the environment. After a few years, most biological farmers purchase less fertilizer because their crops make better use of nutrients from recycled organic matter, green manures, legumes, and microbial nutrient release. Biological farmers learn that feeding their animals forages and grains grown in balanced soils results in healthier animals that grow, produce, and reproduce with exceptional efficiency.
