Old Mc Donald had a farm - Part 2: hardly anybody knows this!

For roughly 100 years it was believed that plants could only absorb nitrogen in crude form as ammonium, urea and nitrate. In fact, when a plant takes in water, these salts are so readily absorbed that they may block the uptake of more complex nitrogen compounds. But plants exude complex sugars and amino acids into the soil, and as long as conditions permit, they can also absorb them.

Nitrate uptake makes plants salty and watery— they must convert crude nitrogen into amino acids before they can use it. Their cells, bloated with water and salt, are then susceptible to diseases. In general, flavor and nutrition suffer, and such crops fall short of their genetic potential.

And watch out, because now it comes:

Their chemistry is shifted to short-chain amino acids, which insects require, and which are therefore responsible for the use of insecticides!



And so you see how the applications of one chemical industry are responsible for the creation of another. The use of soluble fertilizers is therefore responsible for the use of pesticides. Even if we are very far away here from X7 and X8, or even from Kosyrev and Co, no farmer will believe you, even when in this case the chemistry involved under-standing this mechanism is very basic! You even don’t need to be an informational leader to find out, just a bit of questioning and chemistry in our material dimensions (X1 – X2 – X3) will give you this answer very rapidly. Just being a little contrary (do you remember?) and a “don’t follow the crowd” attitude is already enough to obtain such stunning results!

What about manure? Every managing-farmer will try to convince you that manure is so precious, but is that really true? Some quick X1 through X3 research teaches us the following:

Feeding carbon compounds to the soil’s teeming micro-ecology, plants ensure their nutrient uptake will be as near to the needs of their protoplasm as possible, (and now it comes!) raw manure is notorious for producing soluble phosphorus levels that are toxic to mycorrhizae, which really defeats the system. But even stable compost, when applied in large quantities, is everywhere, whether the desired crop has any roots there yet or not!

Also here, no farmer or gardener will believe you, because that is not what big institutions such as the chemical industry has been t(s)-elling him for many years! Try to find out from the farmer how he knows when he puts too much or not enough manure on his fields? I’m keen to hear the answer!

Now that we have shown the value of even some simple research, it’s time to show some “real” informational leadership.

There has been made some stunning informational research in agriculture, especially in the US and Australia. The rest of the world has may be reached a certain level of awareness regarding the so called bio-culture, but that’s it! They haven’t managed the step towards the informational level. Strange enough the way to informational farming has been shown by a German called Rudolf Steiner. 



We have experienced the validity of informational farming in Australia, where we gave some classes and workshop in the greater area of Wagga Wagga in 2010.
