Is it possible to speed up the transition time from chemical farming to organic with SR?

Ken Hahn of K-IDA-AG in American Falls, Idaho has had more than twenty years experience in the formulation of a soil revitalization product made up of naturally mined, par amagnetic minerals highly charged with energies and combined with - bacteria.

Columbia Laboratories of Corbett, Oregon, an independent laboratory approved by the FDA to run agricultural tests, has reported that potatoes grown in soil treated with this product in southeastern Idaho were entirely free of toxic chemicals. Tested fields had been treated with pesticides for over 30 years and had become highly contaminated with them, and at least three pesticides had been applied to those very crops. On many farms, pesticides can be detected in produce years after their use on the fields has been discontinued. Yet when potato samples from the Idaho experiment were analyzed for some 50 pesticides, Columbia Laboratory director Steve Doane reported back that none could be detected.

Farmers in the experimental Idaho project got excited over the Columbia Laboratories report. "In our potatoes, said project director George Schuchard of Chino, California, the pesticides had all disintegrated. That'a a whole new category ..."

The southeastern Idaho project involved ten farms and a cattle ranch. For the test a safe, concentrated spray, one gallon to the acre was used made out of food grade minerals. The minerals are energized by various devices, including highly charged crystals. The fertilizer spray is edible!

The method produced crops that were not only free of toxic chemicals but showed an in crease in yield and higher nutritional values. The method also seemed to do a good job of controlling pests.

Hahn points out that we spend approximately ten times as much to heal ourselves we do to feed ourselves, and the stale and unwholesome food is causing most of the medical bills in the country. He says that it was twenty years ago when he started adding bacterial products to the soil and found he could increase yield. But, it has just been in the past 2-3 years that he discovered the remarkable ability of these bacteria to break down and get rid of the chemicals in the ground with the end result more chemically-free food.
The shift from chemical to certified organic takes a number of years with economic risks and uncertainty for the farmer that can make farmers reluctant to shift to organic. And merely switching to organic farming doesn't solve the problem of chemicals and pesticides residues of past chemical farming in the soil.
The results from this test are quite an achievement and point to the tremendous potential that soil remineralization has for bioremediation of chemically farmed soils and is an important consideration for rock dust soil amendments as more chemical farmers transition to sustainable agriculture. We are referring to a sophisticated blended product, but the results of this particular product suggest similar results with this type of testing could enhance a rock dust's value and marketability.
