VIDEO: High Bionutrient Crop Production with Dan Kittredge Part 2


Dan Kittredge and the Bionutrient Food Association are on a mission to increase quality in the food supply through educating growers, raising awareness among consumers and conducting research on the nature of crop quality and the correlation between soil health, plant health and human health. In part 2 of this journey of discovery, we continue rethinking how we do things and embracing the possibilities of new horizons in higher quality food.

  1. i am a big dear hunter and a guy said to take redmond mineral which is same as trophy rock. i spread 60 lbs on a half acer with 50 lbs of azomite clay. i am in northern michigan and i already have mature wheat and rye from last year as of june 8th.

  2. Loving this, But I have to ask regarding the sea water and sea salts. with the rising micro plastics in the oceans, how safe is using sea water/sea salts now.

  3. A low PH means that after harvest the plants have used up the other elements and filled the missing spaces with H (Hydrogen). An analysis from Logan Labs (Ohio) will give you how much you need. But he has a max absorption rate of minerals to be added. Slow and steady wins the race. Microbes can eat and digest toxins like lead, radiation, glyphosates and PCBs.
    Michael Astera (Author). Rock Dust is a great source of silica. Adding rock Dust. Less disturbance is better. He goes outside at night to observe earthworms having an orgy. earthworms per square yard equals your soil being tilled 6 times per year and 40,000 pounds od worm castings per year. He broadcasts on the soil because he lets the worms and microbes do the work. If you have compost add minerals to the compost. Add minerals in the fall when you do cover crops to give it time to build in the soil. Fertilizer is like putting plants on an IV drip and makes the plant lazy so it does not need soil biology. He never adds nitrogen.

  4. A basalt quarry is the best local source for rock dust. 75 pounds of sea salt per acre. adds flavor and nutrients.He uses Kansas salt at $100 a ton.

  5. On rock dust – Since your soil contains rocks, (some very, very small), and there are more rocks in the subsoil… why would you ad rock dust? Dr. Elaine Ingham, PhD, states that ALL soils in the USA contain sufficient minerals in adequate amounts for plants to thrive, and cites the US Geological Survey. Much of this mineral content, as Kittredge says, is not available to the plants – but that is the job of the soil food web. She says that we can unlock those minerals through a combination of compost to re-introduce the soil life, and something to feed the soil life – mulch and cover crops.

    Properly managed livestock can also do this. Allan Savory has been doing it in Africa for 40 years. Through the Savory Institute and Holistic Management people all over the world have been learning how to do this – even reclaiming mines and other totally barren soils by feeding livestock hay on these sites. Most places only need the right kind of management of livestock to RESTORE the natural relationship between the plants, livestock, and soil life and recovery can be amazingly swift.

  6. i LOVE this series! this brother here is so on spot, ways ahead, bringing the essential information. much practical advice to take home, act and reflect on! great its a whole serie, so you really can get a bigger picture out of it, not just a small piece of the puzzle. its great you share this so valuable information to the world. sharing is caring. its highly appreciated! this is yt and internet at its best. im learning alot! 🙂

  7. For everyone concerned about radioactive isotopes, the United States and Russia have patents on radioactive enrichment using theobacillus a sulphur reducing bacteria, iron reducing bacteria also enrich and reduce radioactive elements.

  8. Am I missing something or shouldn't the equation of ppm of element into weight/area take the elemental mass into account? I mean Mo kinda doubles the weight of Mn. And there surely are other factors to take into account that make this x2 this a really rough estimate.
