I truly believe there is no one way, one-size-fits-all way to farm. I don't get hung up on any of the latest buzz words associated with agriculture. But I am open to whatever regenerative agriculture has to offer. This is an interesting look at nutrient exports from the field. Growing food is all about change and innovation. "This brings us to the inevitable tradeoffs we face in agriculture. There is a basic tradeoff between crop yield and inputs. Because of the economics, this tradeoff will most likely take place in lower value annual crops (feed, biofuel, etc.) and not in staple, vegetable, or fruit crops. If this is the case, it can be a good strategy for farmers and the soil. For the individual farmer, increased profits may tip the scales in favor of reduced yield and reduced inputs, or increased soil health but less yield. Farmers should do what they need to do to stay in business. However, regenerative agriculture in this form may not be a good strategy for reducing inputs in staple food-crop production, at least not until our population stops growing." Anything that works better for an individual farmer is always worth a look.
