Produced in honour of World Soils Day 2021, this short film features soil stewards Rhonda and Bill Daly from Milgadara and Graham Finlayson from Bokhara Plains. Since 2012 Soils for Life has worked tirelessly to support leading regenerative farmer innovators and soil stewards across the country. This film tells the story of how farmers thinking differently can regenerate even the most degraded soils, bringing life back to the land. These are the stories that give us so much hope for the future. Read more stories of soil and landscape regeneration, and find out more about regenerative farming at www.soilsforlife.org.au. Happy World Soil Day! The film was produced by Nviro Media (nviromedia.com.au) with support from Thankful for Farmers (www.thankful4farmers.com.au) #soilscience #regenerativeframing #worldsoilday #regenerativeagriculture #soilhealth

Support us in our mission As World Soil Day approaches on the 5th of December, we're launching an end-of-year appeal, inviting you to join us in our mission to regenerate Australia's soils and landscapes by providing a tax-deductible donation. With your help, we can expand our work with Australian farmers, helping to rapidly grow the movement for soil and landscape regeneration, to transform Australian agriculture, rebuild our biodiversity, produce healthier food, build resilience to drought, flood and fire, and help to mitigate climate change. Here's one of the incredible soil stewards we're working with about why you should consider supporting us. Matthew Evans, author of "Soil :The incredible story of what keeps the earth, and us, healthy", talks of the incredible and far reaching importance and benefits that healthy soil holds. Let's all get excited about soil and how good it is! Support our mission to save Australian soils. https://soilsforlife.org.au/about-soils-for-life/our_purpose/donate/

Hear from Rebecca Gorman about the practices they are using to repair the soils and landscapes at their farming property 'Yabtree West' and the positive outcomes as a result of implementing these practices.. Read the full case study at www.soilsforlife.org.au/yabtree-west/ Working as a journalist in Sydney, Rebecca Gorman became increasingly concerned about climate change and other big issues facing our society. Wanting to do something concrete to help, and remembering her rural childhood, Rebecca decided to return to the land. Rebecca and her partner John Sevior purchased 'Yabtree West', a property in Mundarlo, NSW, near where she grew up. With the support of the 8 families group, Rebecca studied Holistic Management and introduced and experimented with various methods of ecological improvement including Natural Sequence Farming. With manager Dean Hann, they have increased vegetation cover, are halting erosion and survived drought conditions in 2018 through a healthy functioning ecosystem. This case study shares the transformation experience of Rebecca Gorman and her family on Yabtree West.

This video explains how to collect a soil sample from your paddock. Managing soil fertility and conditions are essential for good pasture and crop growth. Testing soils regularly can help identify if there are components of the soil limiting production and can also identify soils that don't require inputs.

In this recorded webinar hosted by Tainio Biologicals with AEA founder John Kempf as the guest, John, along with Steve Becker and Dennis Warnecke from Tainio, engage in an informative discussion on soil health and effective methods to encourage healthy soil biology. They cover the specific roles of mycorrhizal fungi, how to deal with high salt concentrations, and the best soil-building practices for the fall. Visit the Tainio website at www.tainio.com to learn more about their biological products.

AEA founder John Kempf discusses how to manage soil nitrogen and carbon sequestration for abundant microbial communities, the roles of water, oxygen, and soluble carbon in soil, the limiting factor for building biology (soluble carbon, not water, as many people believe), why carbon sequestration is important to crop performance, and which elements are needed to stabilize nitrogen in the soil.

In this webinar, John Kempf reviews micronutrient and trace mineral function and how to address deficiencies of these minerals. He discusses the accuracy of testing measures, applications of nutrients, preferred nutrient form, and effective management practices.

Traditional soil testing relies on the concept that a certain balance of nutrients in the soil will create healthier, more productive soils. Growers have traditionally used these soil test results to make nutrient application decisions to improve the health of their soils. But while that strategy may have been effective decades ago, new work is showing that that may not be the case in today's microbially dead soils where nutrients cannot get absorbed properly. In this webinar, John Kempf will walk attendees through the connection between soil biology and nutrient absorption and explain why a different approach to testing and building healthier soils may be in order. This approach will not only help growers reduce input costs by cutting unnecessary fertilizer applications but it can also help bring your soil back to life and increase productivity.

AEA founder John Kempf discusses the value of soil biology in ensuring crops receive the necessary nutrients. Although cover crops are a useful tool in regenerative systems, and it is very important to keep soil covered, this video describes an alternative for dry environments in which water is scarce.

Most growers are familiar with the chart showing available nutrients according to soil pH. The problem is that the chart is so incomplete it borders on being inaccurate. Nutrient availability is not one dimensional, as the pH diagram makes it appear to be. Additional dimensions include redox and microbial activity. In this webinar, John will describe nutrient availability from a multi-dimensional chemistry based perspective, and how to develop more accurate perspectives on nutrient delivery.

Soil microbial populations can deliver more of the crop's nutrients than we expect. To do so, we need to have vigorous microbial populations established at germination. It can be challenging to sustain these populations on lighter soils with low organic matter, or where soil microbial populations have been severely degraded. These challenges and many others lead AEA to develop their Soil Primer and BioCoat Gold applications. In this webinar, John Kempf will sit down with Sales Consultant and AEA customer Ted Bruns to discuss the potential of our Soil Primer and BioCoat Gold application to deliver crop nutrition and improve soil health.

When soil biology has an oxidizing effect, the supply of bioavailable manganese, iron, copper, cobalt, and other minerals is greatly decreased. In this webinar, John describes why excessively oxidized soils lead to tied up manganese and other metals. He also describes how to change cultural management practices to shift soils to a more reduced state and release mineral metals that are unavailable to plants when the soil is oxidized.
