Remember reading an interesting book by a guy named Alfred Crosby, maybe a 200-300 level history class, that discusses how we altered North American disease, crops and everything else by simply walking with boots that had been on European soil and brining those farm animals over.

Great documentary Biggest Little Farm....all about creating a sustainable farm from a pile of dirt.
Indeed, it is a great little documentary
You give me a pile of dirt and I will give you a bushel basket of tomatoes. :D
Right. If you haven't seen it, I'd recommend. You of all people on here would appreciate it.
Working WITH nature, the way it should be. Not the cheapest approach, but in the long run, it's the best approach.

Cheap can get "expensive" quickly.

One might argue that the Great Plains, with the herds of ruminants both fertilizing and tilling the soil, coupled with prairie fires, were huge expanses of terra preta.

Of course, good old innovation like Deere’s “sod busting” plow, followed by successive applications of insecticides like lead and then sterilization via treats like MonSatan’s glyophosate have certainly fixed that...

Ain't it grand that white economic priviledge is alive and well in the Democratic party. My Bio teacher (tufts pre) working on soils, particle attachment, run off prevention etc. We had great talks about fish kills, in North Carolina at the time. Some in Buzzards Bay too.

sweet corn STILL needs to be hand picked for quality...........thank you illegals. Some clown in Colorado tried getting away with paying corn pickers by the bag.......no breaks, no food, for hours. And jerks like Steve Colbert cried "see....white people won't pick produce" nonsense

Dude........perhaps if sweet corn hand pickers were getting paid what Colbert is , just for reading a teleprompter and reading OTHER peoples lines...........we would see people of priviledge picking corn, no?

You would pick corn for, say $60 an hour? or, 50 cents per ear?

are any produce companies offered up for purchase on the exchanges ? any members of Congress own said offerings?
“Ain't it grand that white economic priviledge is alive and well in the Democratic party.”

Eh? Not sure what point you are making re soil management, but i would say that both parties embrace the Golden Rule: “he with the gold calls the tune.”
