Dynamic Farming System to cultivate a living soil
We treat our farm as one whole organism working in harmony.
In biology this is known as homeostasis.
In mathematics John Nash's equilibrium, otherwise known as Governing Dynamics is a principle I believe works with nature as with people. The game theory states that if each player cannot improve their situation given the other players keep their's constant then a Nash Equilibrium exists. This means that it is important not just what is best for the current crop, for the best total outcome one has to take into account the whole farm. It may seem like common sense.
Our farm rotation is over six years allowing for diversity to prevent weed establishment and resilience of crops to disease and pests.
Resilience to changing climate is an essential element to the longevity/sustainability of the overall farming system.
The farm is closed to all inputs (excepting, pasture seeds, new cereal and bean variety seeds, new bulls, essential trace minerals for cattle and fuels for tractors and sometimes grain drying).
