“It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine.”
Bible
“Fame is no plant that grows on mortal soil.”
John Milton
“When plants are growing, they sense how big a root system they have to produce to draw from the soil the nutrients and moisture they need to grow and reach maturity and reproduce. On a conventional farm where there are high levels of fertilizer nutrients in the soil, along with lots of water, there is little incentive for roots to penetrate far.”
Charles Benbrook
“Nitrogen levels in the soil are high after peas. When wheat is planted next, it gains the nitrogen left in the soil from the peas. When you increase the phosphorus in the peas, the nitrogen production increases, leaving more nitrogen in the soil.”
Dr. Jed Waddell
“Right now it's very clay-like soil that holds a lot of water and gets real spongy. The clay soil holds the water so the fields stay wet. We can't mow it and then it's unsafe to play on. It's a vicious cycle.”
Dan TerAvest
“We had good response to rain; that means the soils are saturated and primed.”
Ron Abramovich
“Healthy soil leads to healthy plants.”
Carl Grimm
