3 MIN WATCH: “One of the first opportunities I saw after joining Olsen Custom Farms was to stretch our rotation out,” says agronomist Kurt Dagel “To take that power of diversity and make it work for us because it’s free. I look for many benefits to come out of it.” Check out our interview…

What Our Underwear Have to Tell Us
The past few videos, we’ve been unpacking what this ‘tighty whities’ experiment is all about. In this video, we get another farmer and district conservationist’s take on the process and what they learned along the way!
The Power of Diversity (Tighty Whities Results) 3/3
The Power of Diversity (Why is the Tighty Whities Experiment Relevant?) 2/3
If you’ve spent any time around the soil health movement, you’ve probably stumbled onto an odd video or two of farmers out in their fields burying underwear. Created by Canadian researchers, this “Tighty Whities Experiment” is a great visual demonstration of the benefits of regenerative agriculture… But what does it actually demonstrate? What’s the point?…
The Power of Diversity (Tighty Whities Experiment) 1/3
Diversity is one of the leading principles of the soil health movement. But can the affects of incorporating diversity into an operation be quantified? Research Microbiologist Dr. Mike Lehman (ARS) set out to find out in this 16 year field experiment… and man, are the numbers impressive!
Unpacking the Benefits of Soil Health w/ Steve Reimer: Increasing Available Moisture Availability (3/3)
We hear about soil health being a tool for things such as sustainability, reduced input costs, and more consistent yields… but how exactly do these benefits unfold? One way that is often overlooked is through reducing runoff and increasing soil moisture availability. As SD farmer Steve Reimer says, “As we started rotational grazing and no-till…
Unpacking the Benefits of Soil Health w/ Steve Reimer: Grazing Multispecies Cover Crops (2/3)
Cover crops have been on the rise for quite some time now, but the benefits of livestock integration cannot be underestimated. Fortunately, this subject has recently been receiving a lot of attention! Hear Chamberlain, SD farmer and soil health advocate Steve Reimer discuss how these two tools (cover crops and livestock) go hand in hand.. and…
Unpacking the Benefits of Soil Health w/ Steve Reimer (1/3)
A farmer can do everything right and still not get the crops he worked for. If it doesn’t rain enough or if it rains too much, it’ll show up in his bottom line. If it gets too hot or too cold, he’ll feel the affects in his wallet. We can’t control the weather. Nobody knows this…
