Our program features Sjoerd Duiker, a no-till and cover crop researcher from Penn State University. This presentation is part one of a two-part series and is brought to you by Montag Manufacturing.
Continuing our conversation with Sjoerd, we’ll discuss questions and comments that were made in response to an article No-Till Farmer published earlier this year on the subject of increasing organic matter. That is, how much of a yearly percentage increase in soil organic matter would be a reasonable expectation in a high-yield, no-till environment.
In our first part of this interview, Sjoerd covered assumptions he’s made in order to calculate growth of soil organic matter in a no-till environment, how soil microbial activity plays into his calculations and some of his thoughts on increasing soil organic matter in sandy soil and arid regions.
