Gary Zimmer: The Death of NPK | Why Modern Agronomy Failed | Soil Talks™ Podcast

What if everything we’ve been taught about soil fertility is wrong? In this groundbreaking episode of Soil Talks™, we sit down with Gary Zimmer, founder of Midwestern BioAg and one of the original pioneers of biological agriculture. Together, we dismantle the outdated NPK mindset and explore how soil biology, not chemistry, drives true fertility, resilience, and profitability. This is the end of input addiction. Topics we cover: Why modern agronomy failed the farmer How minerals and microbes build living soil systems The six rules of biological farming How to earn the right to reduce fertilizers Why calcium is the “trucker of nutrients” Soil microbes as livestock The path from soil correction to soil freedom This is not a podcast. It’s a belief shift. ——— Learn more: 🌿 https://rockymountainbioag.com Follow RMBA on: 🔗 LinkedIn: Rocky Mountain BioAg® 🎧 Spotify: Soil Talks™ Podcast 📺 YouTube: @RockyMountainBioAg Biological…Beyond Organic® #SoilTalksPodcast #BiologicalAgriculture #RegenerativeFarming #GaryZimmer #SoilHealth #RMBA #BiologicalBeyondOrganic Time Stamp 00:00 - Intro: Why NPK Is Dying 01:12 - Gary Zimmer’s Organic Awakening 03:40 - The Myth of Modern Agronomy 05:28 - Soils Are Like Cows: Biological Systems 07:32 - Compost, Carbon & the Missing Link 09:04 - Regenerative vs. Biological: The Truth 10:41 - The Six Rules of Biological Farming 14:22 - Calcium: The Trucker of All Nutrients 17:40 - Why “Perfect Numbers” Break Soil 21:00 - Soil Microbes as Livestock 25:15 - The Nutrient Exchange Revolution 28:30 - Tillage with a Purpose 33:05 - Feeding Soil Life Without Inputs 37:00 - How to Read a Soil Test (Biologically) 41:00 - The Future of Otter Creek Farm 45:20 - Nutrient Density: The Next Revolution 48:30 - First Step for Conventional Farmers 50:45 - The Carbon Credit Bubble 54:16 - Investing in Soil vs Paying the Bills 59:00 - Commodity vs Community Farming 01:01:44 - The Biggest Myth in Modern Agriculture 01:03:47 - Gary’s Final Message: Biology Over Chemistry
