Recent studies suggest planting strips of wildflowers alongside crops boosts pollination and promotes higher yields. But these aren’t the only benefits. Adding wildflowers to your farm stabilizes the ground and preserves top soil. Wildflower strips sequester carbon, too. Taller shrubs act as a hedge, keeping destructive wildlife within their bounds, rather than in your grain crops.

Standard soil sampling protocols typically focus on the top 0-20 cm (0-0.8 inch) layer, where the majority of nutrient applications and root initiation occur. However, this conventional approach overlooks a critical zone – the subsoil, particularly the 30-60 cm depth. This soil layer often plays a decisive role in determining root development, nutrient uptake, and ultimately, crop yield potential.
