While a low pH can reduce corn or soybean yields by 40% or more, theres a surprising shortage of recent research about how lime is tested and graded and what impact it actually has on soil pH and crop yield. These were among the issues raised at a recent conference of lime-industry representatives and USDA-ARS and Iowa State University (ISU) soil researchers. The answers could impact input costs and yields as well as nutrient-management effectiveness. read more

Is it a good idea to pay farmers to store carbon in soil?

Grist: Climate protection is getting down and dirty Down Under. Soil serves as a great reservoir for carbon, yet it`s often overlooked in climate protection efforts. That`s changing in Australia, where farmers will soon be able to earn cash for projects that store carbon in the soil - such as tree plantings, dung beetle releases, and composting. Aussie farmers are already eligible to make money by reducing greenhouse gas pollution from livestock, manure, and rice fields. Australia`s environment minister...
