A recent SoilSmart conference presented a case for the practice of farming wither fewer inputs and the positive fact on the family farm.
The Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario says farming with fewer chemical inputs on the farm can achieve improvements to soil health and resiliency, biodiversity, profitability and family life.
At a recent SoilSmart conference, presenters made a good case for the practice of farming with fewer inputs.
One producer from Ohio explained to the audience how by eliminating much, if not all of the chemical product that is used in conventional farming through the use of cover crops, animal manure and good rotation practices, he has been able to increase soil health, increase yields and increase profits per acre.
The CFFO says there are other examples of farmers who have eliminated virtually all chemical inputs by making changes to their cropping practices.
