The benefits of "armor" on soil are numerous: beyond moderating the effects of peak temperatures in both hot and cold seasons, armor enables greater moisture retention, curbs wind and water erosion, suppresses the germination of weeds, and provides habitat for animal life above and below the surface. Imagine what a difference we could make just by keeping the soil covered. #BurroughsFamilyFarms #Regenified #RegenerativeAg #RegenerativeFarming #SoilHealth #RegenerativeAgriculture
Why do regenerative farmers and ranchers want to keep “armor” on their soil at all times? Especially in the hotter months, it's about shielding the bare ground from heating up and drying out under direct sun. Armor can take the form of cover crops, livestock-trampled or roller-crimped grass, or decaying plants—serving as a protective layer to protect microbial life when temperatures rise. Ideal soil temperature to support microbial growth is in the 70° F range, but on a hot day, without armor between the ground and the sun to slow down evaporation, surface soil temps can quickly get above ~140° F, at which point they become essentially pasteurized. The soil microbiome can’t survive in that hot and dry of an environment. To illustrate the principle of armor in practice, take a look at these images shared with us by Benina Burroughs Montes of Burroughs Family Farms. On a recent summer day in Denair, California, Montes used an infrared thermometer to measure the surface temperature of the armor bearing the brunt of the sun’s rays (see image on the left). The armor temp read 131.9°. But underneath the armor, her soil was only 92.7° (see image on the right). That’s a remarkable 39.2° difference due to the presence of armor shielding the ground from the direct sun. The benefits of armor on soil are numerous: beyond moderating the effects of peak temperatures in both hot and cold seasons, armor enables greater moisture retention, curbs wind and water erosion, suppresses the germination of weeds, and provides habitat for animal life above and below the surface. Building and using armor is one of the soil health principles we evaluate within our verification standards to help farmers and ranchers measure progress on their regenerative path—and help consumers trust that certified regenerative products trace back to verified practices and outcomes that improve soil health.

Once our regenerative organic almonds are harvested, we use a jackrunner to collect and deliver them to the elevator. 🌳🚜 Every part of the almond can be used — the hulls can be repurposed for livestock feed and the shells for gardening or animal bedding. ♻️ More questions about harvest?

Happy Birthday Heriberto Montes! 🎉🎂🎈 Heriberto, who goes by Heri or Eddie, is an 'acts of service' type of guy. Though he is on the quiet side, his actions speak loudly. He loves fiercely and would do anything for the family. He works very hard but always makes time for the kids. He loves being outdoors and his smile is contagious. 😉 He never says I told you so and is always kind and caring. Heriberto is a behind-the-scenes type of guy who has a big impact on those around him. We couldn’t do what we do without him. 💕 #burroughsfamilyfarms #regenerativefarming #regenerativeag #covercrops #knowyourfarmer #regenerativealmonds #certifiedregenerative #centralvalley #regenerativeorganic #farmliketheworlddependsonit

We’re thankful to American Farmland Trust for including Burroughs Family Farms in their project about the San Joaquin Valley’s importance to food production and the critical need to protect it. An agricultural powerhouse, the San Joaquin Valley is responsible for much of the country’s nut, citrus, veggie and dairy production.🚜🌱 We had a blast hosting Oliver English, Chance Foreman and Simon English of team Common Table Creative last week! 🙏 💚 Get a peek BTS! #burroughsfamilyfarms #regenerativeorganic #regenerativefarming #regenerativealmonds #certifiedregenerative #regenerative #farmliketheworlddependsonit #regenified #soilhealth #sanjoaquinvalley
