Gary Zimmer: The Death of NPK | Why Modern Agronomy Failed | Soil Talks™ Podcast

Описание: What if everything we’ve been taught about soil fertility is wrong?

In this groundbreaking episode of Soil Talks™, we sit down with Gary Zimmer, founder of Midwestern BioAg and one of the original pioneers of biological agriculture. Together, we dismantle the outdated NPK mindset and explore how soil biology, not chemistry, drives true fertility, resilience, and profitability.

This is the end of input addiction.

Topics we cover:

Why modern agronomy failed the farmer

How minerals and microbes build living soil systems

The six rules of biological farming

How to earn the right to reduce fertilizers

Why calcium is the “trucker of nutrients”

Soil microbes as livestock

The path from soil correction to soil freedom

This is not a podcast. It’s a belief shift.
