Colorado’s Saving Tomorrow’s Agricultural Resources (STAR) program provides a voluntary way for farmers and ranchers to assess their conservation efforts and impact on soil health. Creating a large-scale agroecosystem management comes with many funding and logistical tribulations. In this podcast, we talk to the founders of this program, Drs. Jim Ippolito and Steve Blecker, about what impacts soil health, how it’s measured, and the hope of a nationwide soil health rating scale.

Transcript

I think about the projects that we have where we're using meter group equipment. We were using them dominating the western United States, specifically Colorado. When you look at the soil health research that's been done across the US and if you look at the areas of the US where equipment is located, there is a big hole. And it's almost hovered over Colorado. So that's what we're trying to do with our projects is to fill that gap. We have METER sensors scattered over pretty large chunk of the state in all kinds of different agro ecosystems, irrigated and non irrigated branchland. Initially the idea is to, you know, let the producer understand what his practices are going to soil moisture. But also at the same time, we're kind of just inadvertently, I guess, building this network of soil moisture. monitoring stations across the state that might be able to help us answer some of these questions about you know how the different systems respond to drought. You know in the Western US we're drought prone. So anything we can do to increase water holding capacity of our soils is a benefit. So in terms of soil health, we're looking for systems that producers manage and subsequently utilizing METER Group's equipment. To take a look at the changes in moisture holding capacity over time.

Conservation, rewilding, and regenerative agriculture are, for me, all part of the same family of people who love nature. I am always shocked when I hear people talking about the choice between agriculture and nature because, for me, both are the same thing. That is why I was glad to explore this topic in my conversation with André Mader from the Case for Conservation podcast a few weeks ago. For those who want to learn more about it, I will leave you a teaser in the video below and a link to the full episode in the comments. Farmers love nature. It is up to us to enable them to protect her. #regenerativeagriculture #climatefarmers #natureprotection

On this "Y on Earth Podcast," Understanding Ag's Gabe Brown highlights the many on- and off-farm benefits of soil health-improving regenerative agriculture. He also the explores the fallacy of “feeding the world;” the incredible ‘magic’ of the rhizosphere; allowing a cow to “be a cow;” the notion of “good stress;” and the difference between profit and yield from a commercial farming perspective (the latter should be the focus, not the former!). Watch/listen. https://lnkd.in/g6SS4zUZ
