"We met with Research Microbiologist Dr. Mike Lehman (ARS) on the research station in Brookings South Dakota. Dr. Lehman isn’t just a well-respected scientist, it turns out that he’s also a great communicator. In this and the next two videos, Dr. Lehman Mike takes a shovelful of soil and talks about it, the number of microbes you are likely to find (15 trillion) in the shovelful as well as their diversity, their roles and how they all work together as a community. What is really interesting is how Dr. Lehman uses human society, specifically the labor force and its diversity as a metaphor for soil microbial life and how microbes can work for us. Dr. Lehman does a masterful job at communicating why soil microbes are relevant to any farming operation, and why we, as farmers need to be paying attention.
We feel that this short series of three videos is the ideal segue into the rest of Merit or Myth’s second season where we try to step back and look at the big picture, as farmers and scientists grapple with the idea of integrating soil health principles into their systems."
