Visit to an Immaculate Demo Farm
The Dirt Warriors of the Iowa National Guard’s 734th Agri-Business Development Team got a paradigm-shifting surprise when they visited the Salar Bagh Research and Demonstration Farm near Asadabad, in Kunar province, Afghanistan. The farm, built 20 years ago by the Chinese after the Soviets left Afghanistan, was in great shape. And the farm manager was an expert on local agronomics, soils and cropping techniques. The experience highlighted the fact that one of our key missions is to facilitate the transfer of knowledge from ag-savvy Afghans like the farm manager to ordinary Afghan farmers.

Living Mulch Sustainable Farming near Missoula
http://www.permies.com
Helen Atthowe, Missoula County Horticulturist (1995-2010) http://www.veganicpermaculture.com speaks about a variety of experiments with living mulch. She covers minimum till, no till and full till.
Helen talks about creating beneficial insect habitats: bees, parasitic wasps, (in april she was experiencing a 1-to-1 ratio of parasitized aphids to non parasitized aphids), spiders, ground beetles …
Broccoli, brussel sprouts and cabbage yields are explored. Using three foot wide raised beds.
The minimum till was done with a single shank chisel plow followed by a light tilling with a tiller/rotovator.
Living mulches experimented with include clover which contributes nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, but also competes with the production crop. The trick is to find the balance and get the best of all worlds.
