The local newspaper has a add for a farm for sale, I copied & pasted part of add about the soil organic matter.
"The real magic however is in the soil underneath all those hooves. One can't tell from looking at the lush green fields but this farm hasn't used fertilizer in years. The nutrient needed for growth is derived from compost inoculated with a special blend of organic microbes selected for this particular type of soil. The result is huge savings in fertilizer costs and soil with well over 6% organic matter. (see pics for test results) The higher the soils organic content the more water it can hold. For every 1% increase in organic content an acre can hold an additional 125,000 gallons of water drastically increasing drought resistance. In addition, the microbes in the soil create natural fertilizer for the fields and make them more resistant to weeds and disease. This results in healthier crops and livestock with higher nutritional content while greatly reducing overall production costs."
If anyone wants to read the whole add here is the link:
