My opinions and perspectives may differ from the information provided on the product label. The product label should be considered the primary and authoritative source of information. It includes important instructions, warnings, ingredients, and usage guidelines that should be followed for safe and effective use of the product.

Clos Du Val Winery was a first time user of Agrostim™ on its vines in 2009. According to Al Wagner, Vineyard Manager, “the vines going into harvest looked very good where Agrostim™ was used and not washed out as did other blocks.” In addition, he stated, “this ranch has areas that have shown severe potassium deficiency but in the blocks where we used the product there was very little detectable. In the other blocks it remains very prevalent. Also quality was very good even with a bit of excessive yields. We had some good results and will plan to use more of the product next season.”

Wherefore Art Thou Carbon?

There is lots of talk these days about carbon and how to manage it, especially when it comes to carbon in our atmosphere. Over the centuries, humans have expanded their carbon emissions as societies have advanced, resulting in more carbon in the atmosphere which leads to climate change.

Supporting Plant Adaptation

It’s important to think about plants as being incredibly adroit at adapting to changing conditions and consider how we can best support them as they try to function efficiently.

Helping Plants Sequester Carbon

The definition of regenerative agricultural practices is evolving. In the beginning, my definition was simple: engage in agricultural practices that work to maximize carbon sequestration in your soils and do it in a manner that minimizes your carbon footprint. Recently, I read a definition of regenerative agriculture as a “toolkit of principles/practices to restore and preserve biodiversity and soil health by creating a functional ecosystem that reduces external inputs while producing nourishing farm products.” This definition begins to consider how carbon is cycling through the system, emphasizing supporting microbial activity and nutrient cycling. All good in my thinking, but how do we get there?
