Cucurbita maxima, aka Hubbard squash, from our farm, originated as a species in South America from the wild Cucurbita andreana over 4000 years ago. A welcome meal of #soilhealth #carbon!
IRTH worked great for this study of the dynamics of microbial response!
IRTH is perfectly designed for studies like to this comparing efficacy of organic soil amendments. Study by @MidwestBio

These Bourbon Reds are currently listed as “threatened”. Wonderful old breed from Kentucky, my neighbor raises them so “counter-intuitively, by eating we contribute to their conservation “

The microbes decaying this ear are working very hard -- Solvita IRTH shows over 12,000 ppm CO2. Mold on the kernels shows they are decaying and not germinating.
Displaying the new Solvita IRTH sensor at the Peoria Farm Show. The jar contains a decaying ear of corn, and the initial CO2 level is quite good.
These radishes were sown just before Labor Day, and I dug them out last week. Pretty impressive growth for a relatively cool and wet fall.
We are at the Hawkeye Farm Show at Cedar Falls, IA this week. Midwest Bio-Tech has been at this show every year for 32 years.
Cover crop mix under snow in December. Not much foliage above ground due to late seeding, but there is 4-5 inches of thick root growth below.
