I was taking with a couple guys the other day and mentioned my concerns with wheat. We just do not seem to be able to grow wheat like we should any more. I recently stumbled across Jim Martindale through an email a friend sent me The jury is still out on my opinion, but if he is correct we are in a world of hurt. I've found some articles by Jim, Don Huber and others and have just glanced through them and started back through reading it a bit more slowly. If it is real it is scary.
The starting place is http://www.soilcursebuster.com At first it looks like a page promoting some farm equipment.

If you click on the Soil Health News tab, at the bottom are links to articles titled Coming Home To Roost. It is a 3 part series of 4 articles (this guy sounds like me) I am still wondering through.
Another paper is Huber's on crop nutrient interaction. Click on this link to download the pdf file http://s230184898.onlinehome.us/CurseBuster/joomla/images/PDFs/Huber%20at%20Fluid%20Fert.%202-10.pdf
I realize Jim is promoting his own miracle tool.

I am looking at the information he is starting from and wondering if maybe, just maybe, he might be on to something? If he is it is really scary.
I guess it concerns me because it is starting to answer a question I asked 35 years ago I have yet to get a good answer for. In a discussion about herbicides in a college class the comment was made the chemicals broke down after so many days. When I asked "break down into what?" nobody could give me an answer. In asking a similar question for over 30 years I have never gotten what I consider a good answer. I'm not sure this is the answer ... and if it is true it is not good.
