Some farmers are employing mobile cover crop terminators that vacuum up the most recent plant cycle,
composts them, and then adding to the farm nutrient cycling, automatically deposits the finished product on living soil where it is reincorporated.
These wonderful semi autonomous self-replicating farm management tools also give meat and dairy by-products!?

I LOVE what I have been learning about the rotational-grazing aspects of regenerative agriculture. Have read Gabe Brown's "Dirt to Soil" three times and it just never gets old. It's amusing to me that agriculture today is pioneering by rediscovering what humans have always done forever until now, but hey--there's no wrong time to dig in and begin to regenerate everything!

While I love animals for nutrient cycling, feeding them through grazing can lead to soil compaction.
 
So you made a portal in time and started grabbing people. This tiny ad thinks that's rude:
