[QUOTE="agmantoo, post: 758001, member: 8973"] Jogeephus The following article is by 2 of the most noted dung beetle researchers in Texas and Pat is the lady that gets most of the credit. Being a thinking person, I believe you will read with interest the water retention improvement created by the beetles, particularly the Gazella ones. [url=http://www.managingwholes.com/dung-beetles.htm]http://www.managingwholes.com/dung-beetles.htm[/url] My farm was much as you describe yours when I purchased it 20 years ago. It sat on the market so long the listing contracts expired. My purchase was directly from the owner who was relieved to have found an idiot, me, and took his offer. Today it is not the same place but I am still wanting to improve the place. Like yourself I have learned to work with nature rather than oppose. That is why my interest which started in 2007 on dung beetles is again renewed. I am wanting the water retention enhancing first and the manure dispensing second. I was dismayed when I mentioned here a few weeks ago about preserving the earthworms and the willingness of many to sacrifice or ignore the impact of their activities on the worm population on their places. Ten years ago I could not find an earthworm when I turned the soil. Now I can short my fence charger to wet soil and see numerous earthworms emerge. [/QUOTE]
