Farmers frequently battle less than perfect weather, but 2022 provided extra challenges in many regions.  Whether it was too hot, dry, cold or wet, many crops were stressed in the past year. As a result, abiotic stress defense has become an even bigger topic of discussion in agriculture. The good news is, success is possible through thoughtful planning that strengths your soil, promotes healthy roots, efficient nutrient uptake and better defends plants against stress.  Darin Moon, founder, owner and CEO of Redox Bio-Nutrients has been passionately working to help farmers succeed for decades. He said understanding and implementing a strategy centered on regenerative agriculture is key to success during climate volatility.  “Yes, it is very possible,”he said. “Even with the daunting task of environmental conditions and water quality, lack of water, and all of these changes that agriculture is going through right now. That simply means that we have to understand the system better. That simply means that no longer can we just put out a whole bunch of fertilizer, a whole bunch of product, and then just hope for the result in the end. We have to be more laser focused in what we do and how we do it. We have to be understand the types of soil we’re farming. The type of water of water we’re using. The type of crop we’re planting in that soil, and view that system as a whole and not as individual parts.”
