The Critical Role Of Calcium, Brix, And Other Measurable Indicators | FarmingSecrets.com

calcium. We've talked about that many times and I said in many of those cases like this grass out here that we're on yesterday, we need a calcium. We've got to address the calcium. And the problem is that calcium is one of the more ignored components in our soil system today because conventional agriculture wants to fertilize per pH. tissue testing. And all of the aronomy approaches are based upon the approach that maximizes the current cash flow. [clears throat] And the current cash flow is in salt fertilizers and pesticides. That's where they make their money. Those that those are the things that have the highest margins for the industry. So if you're in that industry, you want to maximize your volume. So you look at the universities, the agriculture universities today, the majority of the research money comes from the pesticide industry. So if you are the pesticide industry, you are not going to fund research that eliminates your product. That's just simple business. So, you're not going to see a lot of research coming out of the standard agriculture industry that talks about geological succession of biology and why weeds are present. You're not going to see a lot of research that talks about bricks readings and the nutrition necessary to raise your bricks reading because that eliminates diseases and insects. And if you eliminate diseases and wi insects, you don't need to buy their product. fungicide. You don't need to buy their insecticide. So, they're going to be out of business. That's just the business of politics or the politics of business, however you want to put it. That's why you won't see a lot of documentation from the agricultural universities. What you'll see is documentation from science schools, biology, chemistry, physics, biochemistry, geology, and the geocsciences. So calcium is the foundation of changing our programs, changing the mindset of both how you think about fertilization and crop growth and changing the dynamics in the soil itself. Because right now all of our programs are nitrogen and potassium driven. And nitrogen and potassium driven systems are great for insects because you cannot produce complete proteins. You cannot get the bricks readings high. You cannot maximize photosynthesis with a nitrogen potassi driven system. It doesn't work because that isn't how nature was designed. We have a calciumdriven system. When we understand that, all the other things then start to fall into place. Our folure sprays start to work. Our biological inoculants start to work, our tillage programs animal feed and our profitability begins to return. Calcium is not a real expensive component or input, relatively speaking.
