Biological farming was around long before researchers and entrepreneurs began their search for the best biologicals. The biological farming system developed decades ago by Gary Zimmer doesn t manipulate soil life or sell it; it instead creates the conditions where soil life flourishes. His system feeds soil microbes, balances soil minerals, promotes tillage with a purpose, and relies on both cover crops and diverse rotations. Gary Zimmer and Leilani Zimmer-Durand have created a thoughtful road map for farmers looking to learn more about how their soils work, improve their current operations, build resilience against both natural and financial challenges, and leave a lasting legacy in healthy & productive soils.
The results...
- Higher yields & profits for growers
- Better forage & increased productivity for dairy and beef cattle
- More nutritious food for consumers
- Reduced greenhouse gas emissions
- More soil organic matter
- Improved soil health
In this greatly revised and expanded edition of the modern classic the authors take the art and science of biological agriculture to new levels.
