“What we’re doing is reinoculating the soil. We’ve killed off a lot of the soil organisms with tillage, heavy chemical use, single cropping and by leaving it fallow. Basically we’re putting a huge microbiome back out there for them to reproduce.”
— Ryan Gibbs, Hopkinton, Iowa, No-Tiller & Owner of Gibbsfield Ag
