Soil Health

 

Dirt is not soil.

"Dirt" is a word that can often be mistaken for soil. Soil is living, dirt may be dead.

Good in, Good out.

Practicing good conservation habits, results in good output from the soil, ultimately creating higher yields.

Cover cropping is one of many good conservation habits that can be the highest cost-benefit factor. What goes in, comes back out. When planting cover crops, we need to think of not only what it's benefiting as far as soil health, but what else can we use a cover crop for. Are you grazing in the winter, or would like to try grazing in the winter? Are you using it for deer hunting in the winter months? Are you planning to get haylage from it in the spring? These are questions that our experts here at Pine Creek Seed farm can help you find the answer to!

Soil organisms make healthy soils.

The concept of the health of the soil and the health of the human being is not much different. Each uses organisms to break down different matter and give an output. Good practices like cover cropping can be the best and easiest way to keep your organisms alive. It can be looked at and thought of as a vitamin that we take. However, it's more than that. It's not only a vitamin but it's a producer. Cover crops not only help organisms to stay healthy and remain within the soil (along with good practice), but can produce high yields for whatever type of crop is needed.
