Benefits of Copper in Soil

Darren and Brian Hefty explain the benefits that copper has for soil and how it can improve yields over time on your farm.

I use pieces of cut copper wire pushed in the ground around my pecan trees. Less disease.

[@RoseRootsGarden]

All your videos are extremely helpful. THANK YOU!

[@dilpreetsingh737]

Excellent information. Thank you

I have used copper for decades, mostly for wheat, oats and if I grow flax. They are high response crops. I built up soil levels with Cusulphate, broadcast or spray. It will scorch plants so if I do foliar, it is a chelate. I have a lot less disease headaches in my wheat.

I'm on it growmie! This is more than interesting, it's a weapon of defense at this point!

[@ramakantamalik1874]

Thanks❤❤❤

Can you address glyphosate and it’s nasty tendency to chelate cations like copper, zinc, magnesium etc. Our copper levels are going up. We don’t add any unless it’s in chicken litter. I’d really love to hear some opinions thanks.

Glysophate is pure cancer poison No wonder the whole GLUTIN free craze aligns perfect with the full on commercialization of glysophate

[@RadoHudran]

Really cool stuff, although my garden is something like 20m squared

[@albertbas2837]

thanks for adding copper to our food!

Great. Do you still use copper nowadays?

[@leslielucci3182]

How much do you add for a backyard garden? Is there a soil test for these minerals? Will natural fertilizers like manure be balanced in minerals?

We have some fields with abnormally high copper in the soil. Can that affect our yields in a negative way?

If I were to take a Copper Penny and put it at the base of a tree how long does it break down to the point of benefitting the tree?

[@TarkMcCoy]

Pennies are no longer really made of copper. They are currently about 97.5% zinc / 2.5% copper.

[@newfreenayshaun6651]

Electroculture farming...- copper wire attracts electrons in the air, stuck in the ground it energizes the soil and the 20k plus species that haven't been killed yet by Monsanto! Look this one up, gaining traction, government discouraged this idea in the 20s, said it would produce too much food and cause inflation. People are definitely dumb for listening to this government about anything AG. If we listen to this government anymore we will starve. They like that.. also, this weeks topic in 2023; cloud seeding and admission from officials of the truth about jet wash and silver ion along with other material to block sunlight , another bill gates of hell project.

Our pasture grass has very high iron and somewhat low copper. This leaves our horses and goats with iron overload that leave the animals deficient in copper. (Iron removes copper) Would adding copper sulfate to soil increase the copper content in the pasture grass sufficiently to balance out the iron?

@@AgPhD @AgPhD Thank you for addressing my question on your podcast. It just so happens I will get a soil test soon. You presented me with another option as well: binding up the iron with lime, I believe it was. Which may address the heart of the problem. Will get back to you with lab results.
