Woop, woop!.........I’m recertified to burn!

So back to the prairie dirt…….So take this more as me just me thinking out loud…….But I just cant see how you can look at that picture and say that its “just the norm”……I feel like if you took that same plot and changed techniques then you would get a much different outcome…..For example lets say that during the summer months we either planted or allowed a diverse summer cover crop to grow. That would put down a diverse root system of several root types and depths from very fine fibrous shallow roots to bigger and deeper running tap roots……all of which help to give “structure” to the soil around it…….And if we don’t disrupt that structure and allow it to build year after year then we also develop “tilth”……..where the rotting of these roots puts OM deep into the soil profile where on a molecular level it gets in between the clay molecules like your disks between your vertebrae……..Maintaining this soil ecosystem intact is far different than a situation of a house foundation
