Hey everyone!
Just curious if anyone would be able to share some plans or advice on building a compost extractor?
Would like to be able to extract large batches.
Thank you in advance.

Conserving Soil Moisture During Dry Conditions
Dry conditions can create difficulties for agricultural producers. Using soil health principles can improve the resilience of agricultural systems to dry conditions.

Hello Hans, I am on the NE Soil Health Coalition Board. We are looking at options to work with our producers re: soil health benchmarking. Do you think that your MO contact would be interested in completing similar work in NE as they are beginning in SD?

Hi Mike,
I think that he may be interested in doing some benchmark soil collection in Nebraska. I think he may have already collected some samples from there already. I can give you his email address ages.kitchenn@gmail.com. His name is Newell Kitchen. I would just email him and ask if he is looking for some producers farms to sample…

Hi everyone, I was approached by Newell Kitchen who is a former USDA ARS scientist and faculty member at University of Missouri. He is working on a project called Probing our Countries Soil Health. He would like to measure soil health indicators on producers farms. He will have one of his helpers come the your farm and take the soil samples.…

I have never done anything like this but wonder if aeration would help or possibly grinding it. Another thought would be to use UAN 28%. I would think with both urea and uan it is going to burn the leaf because of the salt. I would also wonder if it is just going to evaporate into the air. Once again I have never tried this or have…
-
The claim is that it is a very efficient form of nitrogen, it gets readily taken up by the plant and is quickly converted to protein in the plant because urea n is tied to carbon. It is supposed to not burn the leaf, but it is also commonly recommended to include humic/fulvic acids, sugars etc. So those things probably help buffer it as…
