Internationally known as the “Father of Biological Agriculture,” Gary Zimmer is a big believer in strip-till. “It’s like putting a flowerpot under every plant,” he says. “It allows you to concentrate your nutrients in a row, but you’ll need a better source of nutrients as salts may make things worse.”
The owner of Otter Creek Organic Farm in Lone Rock, Wis., brings 50 years’ worth of biological farming experience to the National Strip-Tillage Conference stage to help strip-tillers improve their nutrient distribution. Zimmer deep dives into various biological products, fertilizer types, N sources, fall vs. spring application timing and much more!
You’ll Learn: The positive & negative impacts different nutrient sources have on your “soil livestock,” & how to improve soil health & structure, which in turn helps maximize crop performance & profitability.
