There have been a lot of advancements in soil health building practices in recent years, but skeptics are still asking “can it scale� There is certainly evidence that it can, but for starters, it’s going to take the right equipment. Dr. Jeff Mitchell, Vegetable Crops Specialist with the UC Cooperative Extension and the Director of the Conservation Agriculture Systems Innovation Center, says farmers he is working with are modifying equipment borrowed from Midwest row crop farming systems. He is encouraged that a few small scale equipment manufacturers are starting to pop up to meet this growing need.
