Amish farmers pioneer organic agriculture focusing on crop nutrition to boost plant immune systems naturally

His intense study revealed that plants create a number of compounds that naturally repel intruders. By studying the sap of his plants, Kempf went on to discover plants' individual nutrient deficiencies. This helped him understand what a plant was lacking, allowing him to introduce necessary trace minerals into the soil. He said that modern agriculture only focuses on large yields, using fertilizer that is high in some nutrients but lacking in many other trace minerals. Without the availability of full-spectrum trace minerals in the soil, the plants lack the tools needed to naturally ward off pests. Kempf now shares his methods with farms in North America, Europe, Africa, Hawaii and South America, promising higher-quality crops that taste much better and go beyond just being organic
