Two weeks ago, we invited local farmers and ranchers in the Southern Alberta area to celebrate the first ever dryland Bio-Agtive corn crop in this area (plant population +/- 19,000 and with 3 varieties of seed, right on highway 6). This land is now 25 years fertilizer-free. It doesn't end there; this land will also now aggregate along with all the other emissions method farms into a first-ever carbon project to procure a payment for stored carbon, reduced methane and nitrous oxide, as well as improved biodiversity.
Among those who came, we walked the fields, and enjoyed a corn shuck lunch with these industry collaborators who shared:
- great ag insights from the local Pincher Creek COOP
- a hands-on presentation from the Razor Grazer team
- a fantastic overview from NorthStar seeds on corn varieties for silage, harvest and point capture grazing
The takeaway was simple. You don’t have to buy nitrogen for corn. With a vigorous soil microbiome, Bio-Agtive proves you can fix more than sufficient nitrogen naturally to grow heavy, nutrient-dense crops that enable faster finishing of healthier animals. We hear it more and more across the growing Bio-Agtive farming cohort from those who raise animals.
Any crop. Any soil. Any farm. Any farmer. That's the claim and we stand by it.
A huge thanks to everyone who joined us! We'll continue to share once the cows hit these fields for the point capture event over Fall - Winter.
