Ray Archuleta will be presenting a real-life case study demonstrating the efficacy of regenerative farming. Learn how farmers have successfully made the transition to regenerative agriculture, and get inspired!!
Ray Archuleta is a Certified Professional Soil Scientist with the Soil Science Society of America and has over 30 years experience as a Soil Conservationist, Water Quality Specialist, and Conservation Agronomist with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)
Also on this webinar will be: Dr. Elaine Ingham, Dr. Adam Cobb, and our host, Brian Vagg.

The Soil Food Web School’s mission is to empower individuals and organizations to regenerate the soils in their communities. The Soil Food Web Approach can dramatically accelerate soil regeneration projects by focussing on the soil biome. This can boost the productivity of farms, provide super-nutritious foods, protect and purify waterways, and reduce the effects of Climate Change. No background in farming or biology is required for our Foundation Courses. Classes are online & self-paced, and students are supported by highly-trained Soil Food Web School mentors.
Over the last four decades, Dr. Elaine Ingham has advanced our knowledge of the Soil Food Web. An internationally-recognized leader in soil microbiology, Dr. Ingham has collaborated with other scientists and with farmers around the world to further our understanding of how soil organisms work together and with plants. Dr. Ingham is an author of the USDA’s Soil Biology Primer and a founder of the Soil Food Web School.

Thank you Thank you Thank you ..
i started breeding worms for my own soil ..
and i have Now found my Tribe …
Hola saludos desde Panamá no o hablo inglés pero te Vi por primera vez en un programa, besa el suelo muy bien programa y todo lo que explicaste y los demás personajes duros y que sigan creciendo está forma de pensar y trabajar
I'm shocked to see cows grazing in land intended to grow crops for human consumption.
My question would be how do you avoid infecting the soil and subsequent crops with salmonella, listeria, e.coli, et al?
Are the animals tested for disease? I would think that if the crops are tested, that's too late. You want to prevent the introduction of malevolent viruses and bacteria from gaining a foothold rather than dealing with a discovered problem later.
In a controlled environment like a worm bin, you're raising predators that feed on all bacteria including malevolent so the problem is less likely to occur given enough time for the worm population to process all the material in the bin. But in an open field, I don't know that you'd have a natural population sufficient to process material to ensure all harmful bacteria have been consumed leaving only naturally occurring bacteria which are generally all beneficial.
I'm speculating but perhaps in fields where there are also farmed animals, maybe only specific crops low in water content would be grown that would be less likely to support colonies of malevolent bacteria?
Good Morning! We are farmers from North India. We would surely want to join the course, but it should be affordable, your currency is 80+ times more expensive. I would appretiate, if you could find a way out. Thanks.

…..THANKS, VERY MUCH, FOR ALL OF THIS INCREDIBLY COMPELLING, INFORMATION, BASED ON THE LATEST, CUTTING EDGE SOIL-BIOLOGY RESEARCH, AND PRACTICAL, REAL WORLD EXAMPLES!!…I'LL BUYMYSELF A MICROSCOPE, AND START LEARNING WHATEVER I CAN!!!… THIS IS THE MOST AWESOME "LIFE-SCIENCE"!!!!
"Northwest Kansas, whoof" as a North-Central KS resident I completely understand that reaction from a soil food-web scholar.
Dr. Elaine Ingham is a straight-up gangsta!
I’m in NM, on severely, dead, until recently, abused geological dirt. I’m wanting to make soil. I’m on 1.25 acres. I have a LOT of work to do. I’m desert, 5000’ elevation, 200’ above the Rio Grande, zone 7a.
In a world of academics, it becomes apparent that spiritual mindsets are required for understanding the web of life beneath our feet, that sustains us.
Seems they are both right. Soil microbiology is essential, plant cover crops essential. I recently learned, from the SFW team, that AM fungi requires roots to stay present in the soil, so therefore something growing in the soil at all times is essential to maintain certain types of fungi. So much to learn.

God it's so refreshing to hear you say these things ray. All life is conected from the biologyies smallest to the largest lifeforms. One doesnt survive longtetm without the other. its a shame the state of education these days. I agree with every aproach you state and discuss. Nature's archetypes are always going to be the right path. Thank you to all like minded peoples
God has the last say on how things will turn out! Of course we should research science, but The Creator is in charge
Around 1:03:45 Ray says something like "I take an infiltration ring and a sosal jar" What is this jar?
Hi I'm jun of Philippines what arenecessary needs to regen soil
from
the Philippines here! 🙂
Bingo! the mixed cover pic says it 99%
🤯
Fabulous information…Enjoyed the tutorial, I am employing these techniques.
Who would of thot of comparing today's dust to dust bowl days dust"
24:58 requires management knowledge, experience, and more .I been trying to use your method since i heard you at holton and elsewhere. Todays info is ost informative yet.. THANKS FOR YOUR CONTINUING EDUCATION AND INFORMATION ON/THIS TOPIC OF REGENERATIVE FARMING, IF I MAY DESCRIBE IT THAT WAY. SEEMS EASY TO MAKE MISTAKES INSTEAD OF SUCCESS. THANKS AGAIN FOR TODAY'S IN DEPTH UPDATE.
Simply and more informative think of carbon compounds not elemental carbon.A bit more to scratch your head about!
Im 77 yrs old ,i had to sell my farm because i was ignorant of all this wonderfull new soil biology, Damn i wish i was joung again and could have farmed with this revelation. I gave up farming when my soils and bank manager said enough is enough, to the next generation god speed go get em like Gabriel
