At the age of 17, Franck visited Iowa and developed an affinity for the country,<br>later working on farms in northwest Iowa but finding limited opportunities. In 2003, Franck and his spouse purchased a farm near Edgeley, Saskatchewan, expanding it to 6,500 acres using zero-till<br>conventional methods before selling it in 2019. The couple acquired their current farm in Montana<br>in 2018, which initially spanned 15,000 acres but was reduced to 11,400 acres by dropping some<br>rented land subject to development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Context<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Farm Size and Soil<\/strong><br>Frank\u2019s farm is 11,400 acres of primarily silt loam and some sandy clay with 3-4 feet of soil depth,<br>though some higher areas are rocky. Organic matter was 2% in 2019, with a goal of reaching 3%<br>by 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Crops and Rotation<\/strong><br>Franck grows a variety of crops: spring and winter wheat, chickpeas, flax, mustard, yellow peas,<br>safflower, buckwheat, and Laos. He is continuously experimenting with crop rotations to enhance<br>system diversity and resilience. This is in stark contrast to the normalized wheat\/fallow rotation in<br>the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Climate and Challenges<\/strong><br>The average precipitation per year is about 11.66 inches (8.6 inches rain, 3.1 inches snow<br>equivalent) since 2011, which is lower compared to their previous farm in Saskatchewan. The soil<br>has low porosity, poor gas exchange, and limited water infiltration, which makes it challenging for<br>crops to thrive without proper management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Farm History and Goals<\/strong><br>Historically, Franck instituted a wheat-fallow rotation with 50 bushels per acre yield. When Franck<br>bought the farm in 2019, it was transitioning to a two-thirds wheat-chickpea-fallow rotation.<br>Franck aims to shift to continuous cropping, phase out synthetic fertilizers by 2026, and increase<br>organic matter to 3% by 2032. They have a target yield goal of 35 bushels of wheat per acre (70<br>bushels over two years).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Minimize Soil Disturbance<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>No-Till Farming<\/strong><br>No-till farming, particularly in their dry climate, helps conserve moisture. This method is vital for<br>preserving every drop of water in the soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Seeding Rig and Biological Inputs<\/strong><br>Franck uses a <a href=\"https:\/\/khartindustries.com\/k-hart-double-disc-openers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">disk drill with K-hart openers<\/a> to seed directly into wheat stubble, avoiding soil<br>disruption. He has also replaced chemical insecticides and fungicides with biological treatments,<br>including compost extracts, biostimulants, and <em>Beauveria bassiana<\/em> (a fungus) to control pests like<br>wireworms and cutworms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Insect Control through Brix Levels<\/strong><br>Increasing the sugar content (Brix levels) in plants helps deter smaller pests like aphids. However,<br>higher Brix levels can attract larger pests, like deer, which presents a balancing challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Herbicide and Fertilizer Reduction<\/strong><br>Franck is moving away from eradicating weeds entirely, opting to keep them at an economic<br>threshold instead. He is reducing the use of herbicides and improving fertilizer efficiency through<br>better application methods and water quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fertilizer Use and Soil Health<\/strong><br>Franck is working toward phasing out synthetic fertilizers by 2026, having already eliminated<br>phosphate and potash since 2022. Through soil tests, he discovered significant levels of nutrients,<br>such as phosphorus, already present in the soil, which can be unlocked by enhancing soil biology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Results<\/strong><br>By cutting nitrogen use by 75%, Franck has significantly reduced synthetic fertilizer, insecticide,<br>and fungicide use. He now only uses chemical inputs as a last resort when necessary and<br>economically justified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maintain Living Roots in the Soil<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Photosynthesis and Root Exudates<\/strong><br>Photosynthesis captures solar energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, which is<br>then exuded through the roots as carbohydrates and sugars. These sugars nourish soil<br>microorganisms, which in turn break down parent material like phosphorus, making it available for<br>plant uptake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rhizosphere and Soil Biology<\/strong><br>A healthy rhizosphere is critical &#8212; this is the area around the roots where soil biology thrives. In<br>fields where biological activity is high, such as Franck\u2019s farm, soil aggregates form more readily,<br>improving soil structure and aeration. In contrast, conventional farming systems with high chemical<br>use show poorer root-soil interactions and less biological activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Challenges with Full-Season Cover Crops<br><\/strong>Due to Franck\u2019s farm\u2019s dry climate, full-season cover crops are challenging to implement. With an<br>average annual rainfall of just 8.6 inches, cover crops would consume moisture that could<br>otherwise be used for the main crop. He favours a continuous cropping system that admittedly has<br>less diversity than a cover crop but is an improvement over a monocrop\/fallow situation and is<br>more economically viable. Franck also noted that without livestock to make cover crops more<br>economically viable, the utility of full season covers remains limited in a grain-focused operation.<br>Despite this, he continues to seek ways to incorporate living roots through continuous cropping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Moisture Efficiency and Crop Yield<br><\/strong>Franck shared a formula from Elston Solberg on the water required to grow crops: it takes about 4<br>inches of water for a crop to grow from seed to the reproductive stage. The remaining moisture<br>can be used to produce grain. With his average rainfall, Franck calculates potential wheat yields of<br>34-35 bushels per acre, based on the available water. His farm has closely met these theoretical<br>yield numbers, providing confidence in his approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Continuous Cropping and Photosynthesis<br><\/strong>By practicing continuous cropping, Franck ensures that the soil always has living roots, thus<br>doubling photosynthesis compared to conventional fallow systems. This increased photosynthesis<br>feeds soil biology, helping to improve soil health over time. However, the challenge lies in managing moisture levels to ensure consistent crop production<br>without depleting the soil&rsquo;s water reserves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep Soil Covered<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Importance of Soil Coverage<br><\/strong>Keeping soil covered is critical for reducing evaporation, maintaining cooler soil temperatures,<br>preserving soil biology, and mitigating the impact of rainfall. A heavy rainstorm in summer can<br>cause soil erosion and compaction, but a covered soil surface can significantly reduce that impact,<br>protecting soil structure and health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Providing Food for Microorganisms and Reducing Erosion<br><\/strong>Covering the soil helps feed microorganisms by providing organic matter (like crop residues), and<br>it also reduces soil erosion. This is important for long-term soil fertility and for reducing the loss of<br>valuable topsoil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Snow Coverage in Winter<br><\/strong>Similar to other regions, Franck\u2019s farm experiences winter snow that naturally covers the soil for<br>several months. During this time, no crops are growing, but the snow acts as a protective cover,<br>preserving soil moisture and controlling pests. This is an advantage that farms in warmer regions<br>like Texas do not have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Straw Management with Stripper Headers<br><\/strong>To maintain soil coverage during the growing season, Franck uses stripper headers on his<br>combines, which leave straw tall and intact rather than chopping it. This practice offers multiple<br>benefits: it reduces fuel usage by 30%, increases the capacity of the combines (since the straw<br>doesn\u2019t need to be processed), and creates a microclimate that helps trap snow in the winter,<br>reducing evaporation and providing protection against wind in the spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Microclimate Creation<br><\/strong>Franck\u2019s use of tall straw, like in flax or wheat stubble, helps create a microclimate around the<br>plants by reducing wind exposure and minimizing evaporation. This also helps retain moisture in<br>the soil for the crops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Disking for Residue Management<br><\/strong>Franck uses a disk drill to manage straw after harvest, ensuring that some of the straw stays on<br>the surface while other parts are incorporated into the soil. This combination of maintaining residue<br>on top and incorporating some into the soil creates a protective cover that reduces evaporation<br>and supports soil life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Integrate Livestock<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Challenges of Integrating Livestock<br><\/strong>Franck\u2019s farm has very little fence and water access, which makes livestock integration difficult.<br>He is not as experienced with livestock management but is working to find solutions to integrate<br>them effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why Integrate Livestock?<br><\/strong>Franck referenced the natural systems of the past, particularly bison herds, which played a<br>significant role in maintaining healthy ecosystems by grazing, trampling, and depositing manure.<br>The bison were constantly on the move in large groups, surrounded by predators, and their<br>grazing had a profound impact on the grasslands and soil. Unless managed adaptively, modern<br>cattle do not replicate this effect due to reduced grazing intensity and the use of pesticides and<br>insecticides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Challenges with Current Livestock and Manure<br><\/strong>Limited livestock on the farm means that the natural benefits of grazing and manure deposition are<br>not fully realized. While Franck uses manure from local cattle producers, he points out that the use<br>of insecticides and the lack of dung beetles means the manure is not as effective for improving soil<br>biology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mimicking Livestock Benefits: Microbial Composting (Johnson Su Bioreactor)<br><\/strong>Franck is focusing on creating high-quality microbial compost to mimic the benefits of livestock.<br>He is using the Johnson-Su Bioreactor method, which involves large totes with a false floor and<br>PVC pipes for aeration to maintain the right conditions for composting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Composting Process<br><\/strong>Franck\u2019s compost mix consists of hay, sawdust, dairy manure, and water, with the goal of<br>maintaining 70% humidity. The mixture is aerated and heated to around 65.6-71.1\u00b0C (150-160\u00b0F)<br>to kill pathogens and weeds. The balance of nitrogen (manure) and carbon (hay and sawdust) is<br>critical to achieving optimal composting conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Enhancing Microbial Activity with Earthworms<br><\/strong>After the compost reaches 26.7\u00b0C (80\u00b0F) (around 4 weeks post-fill), Franck introduces earthworms<br>to further break down the material. Adding them sooner, when the compost is too hot, would result<br>in worm death due to the high temperatures. The presence of earthworms helps promote the right<br>biology in the compost, including fungi, nematodes, and protozoa, which are key to soil fertility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Compost Tea Production and Application<br><\/strong>After about 12 months, the compost is ready for use. Franck places the compost in large tea bags<br>and uses air bubblers to extract beneficial biology, creating a nutrient-rich compost tea. The tea is<br>enhanced with fish hydrolysate, molasses, and trace elements (like boron). The compost tea is<br>applied to the fields using a sprayer at 10 gallons per acre. Important Note: The compost tea is most effective when used within 12 hours of brewing, as it begins to lose its potency shortly after (i.e., the microorganisms begin to die off).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biodiversity<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Transition to Continuous Cropping<br><\/strong>Franck moved from a wheat and fallow rotation to continuous cropping with a mix of diverse crops,<br>including chickpeas, flax, and mustard. While yield advantages have been variable, this transition<br>has had positive impacts on biodiversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Intercropping for Increased Biodiversity<br><\/strong>He has experimented with intercropping flax and chickpeas. While the dry environment limits the<br>yield advantage, this practice has helped reduce the need for fungicides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key Benefits of Intercropping<br><\/strong>Flax and chickpeas together improve the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, slowing the decomposition<br>of cover crops and supporting better soil health. The diversity of crops encourages different microbial communities, benefiting the soil and ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alternative Fungicide Use<br><\/strong>Franck has avoided traditional fungicides and instead used biological products like chitosan and<br>yucca to combat diseases such as Ascochyta blight. This practice helps preserve soil biology while<br>managing plant health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Winter Canola and Mustard<br><\/strong>Franck has worked with winter canola and mustard, crops that are uncommon in his region. These crops have generated local interest, particularly when planted near highways, enhancing the<br>farm&rsquo;s biodiversity. The visibility of these crops has sparked curiosity and appreciation from<br>passersby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Soil Health and Organic Matter<br><\/strong>Franck uses soil infiltration tests to monitor water retention. Organic matter has increased from 2%<br>in 2019 to 2.6% in 2024, remaining on track to reach 3% by 2032, reflecting positive progress in<br>soil health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Use of Plant Sap Analysis<br><\/strong>Franck utilizes plant sap analysis to monitor crop health and adjust practices when necessary.<br>Despite consistently low boron levels in tests, he is addressing this by adding boron where needed<br>to correct deficiencies and optimize crop health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Soil Test and Microbial Health<br><\/strong>Franck uses various soil tests, including the Total Nutrition Digestion Test and microscopy, to<br>assess soil microbial diversity. While some tests (e.g., Haney Test for respiration) haven&rsquo;t yet met<br>expectations, overall microbial diversity is improving, indicating positive soil changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Biodiversity Indicators \u2013 Earthworms and Predators<br><\/strong>Earthworm populations have increased on the farm, a key sign of improving soil health and biodiversity. Although earthworms are still sparse in some areas, their presence is a good sign.<br>Franck has also seen more braconid wasps, which are beneficial predators of pests like sawfly<br>larvae. The stripper header has supported these natural predators by enabling them to parasitize<br>sawfly larvae effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Power of Observation<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Continuous observation and adapting to local conditions is crucial when practicing regenerative<br>methods. Franck stressed that it is imperative to use the \u201cshovel test\u201d for regular field assessments, noting that understanding soil health isn&rsquo;t just about hard data but about engaging with the land through sensory observation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Important Quote<br><\/strong>\u00ab\u00a0<em>When I started looking into regenerative agriculture, I wanted hard numbers. I didn\u2019t want just to<br>feel the dirt. But now I go to the field with a shovel anytime I can. It\u2019s the shovel, the feel test, the<br>nose test\u2014that&rsquo;s really what tells you what&rsquo;s going on. Constant observation is key. I feel like I\u2019m<br>about sixty to seventy percent of what I need to know by just using a shovel.<\/em>\u201d &#8211; Franck Groeneweg<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/cog.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/COG_Regenerative-Agriculture-in-Montana-Dry-Land-Farming_Curated-Notes_Regenerative-Organic-Hub-3.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click here to access the \u00ab\u00a0easy print\u00a0\u00bb version<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join Franck Groeneweg as he shares his life in Three Forks, Montana at Living Sky Grains.
