Soil microbes create glues that build this ecosystem near the roots of plants.
This month, we took Ray Archuleta (Kiss The Ground, Common Ground Film) to South Carolina.
It’s not every day you get to walk a soil health pioneer into a rare living experiment: two fields, side by side, the same soil type, but managed in completely different ways.
On one side: tilled ground, low diversity, weeds charging ahead.
On the other: years of no-till, cover crops, and livestock integration — soil alive with cover and resilience.
The difference wasn’t theory. It was visible.
And the conversation that followed hit every tough question farmers are asking right now: compaction, disease, costs, livestock, rotations, chemistry.
