Having Chicken has led Kris Lotzer to the discovery of how beneficial they are to gardening and good soil health. This path has also led us to to the understanding of how good nutrition, and natural remedies, lead to a healthier flock. What goes in one side and comes out the back side. A truly organic way of life. As our story continues to unfold, we are now in a position to get some of these great products into the hands of Alaskans. From https://thorvin.com/ to https://www.fertrell.com/ to https://www.concentratesnw.com/ There are many ways to feed and create a healthy Biome within your animals or garden. I am happy this event today to learn more of the ways kelp and bio-char can improve animal and soil health health.

The weather is looking delightful for Field Days in Palmer tomorrow (Thursday)!

Come on down to the Matanuska Experiment Farm and Extension Center and learn from our researchers about their work. The afternoon kicks off at 2 p.m., with a welcome, then presentations run from 2:30 to 5:00 p.m. We'll finish the afternoon with some light refreshments. Stop by when you can, stay for an hour or all afternoon!

Topics include:
Using biochar to mitigate herbicides in soils

Using nematodes to manage root maggots

Establishing mixed perennial plant communities

Land use, permafrost and our soils

Using kelp as a soil amendment

Feeding livestock in Alaska

Small grain breeding research
