How can there be both too much and too little of something?

Phosphorus is a tricky element for agriculture. It's a key nutrient that's in critically limited supply in our nation, yet it can build up in soils from fertilizer applications and can become a pollutant in water. This week, ATTRA Weekly Harvest reports on scientists who have been studying ways to capture phosphorus from places where we don't need it and reapply it where we want it.

This National Dog Day, a salute to dogs working with livestock! 🐶 🐏

Listen to our podcast "What Your Stockdog Can Teach You About Livestock" to learn from Indiana shepherd and dog trainer Denice Rackley about using herding dogs to handle livestock. She shares a wealth of information useful to listeners wondering whether a stockdog might be right for their farm or ranch. https://buff.ly/ucbMQ5q

Meanwhile, our podcast series "She's Raising Sheep" shares the wisdom of women shepherds from across the country (and beyond), and it's worth noting how working dogs are valued partners in many of their sheep operations. Celebrate sheep dogs and the shepherds they work for by listening to episodes in this fascinating podcast series. Link to the first five episodes at https://buff.ly/XDEDcdZ

Don't go it alone! 👨‍🌾 🤝 🌱

Even though farmers and ranchers often work by themselves, they don't have to feel isolated. In the middle of a busy, stressful growing season, it's hard to take time to take care of yourself. Farmers and ranchers often put their well-being last on their long to-do lists, but maybe it's time to put your physical and mental health first.

Andy Pressman, NCAT's Director of Agriculture Programs, and Mike Lewis, Director of Veteran Programs, talk about the importance of mental health for farmers and ranchers in this ATTRA blog: https://buff.ly/O18sNpx

Both livestock and crops benefit from improving soil health. Your bottom line can benefit, too!

In the latest issue of ATTRA Weekly Harvest, we shared a feature on how Nebraska farmer and cattle producer Daryl Obermeyer has improved the health of his soils so much that he's been able to reduce or eliminate costly inputs for his crops and his livestock. https://buff.ly/b166LzH

That's just one of the many inspiring soil health success stories we've collected. You can hear about some of the others in our in-depth workshop video "Demystifying Regenerative Grazing and Soil Health with Dr. Allen Williams" at https://buff.ly/PtoRWUK

This time of year, shade can be a lifesaver! 🌱 ⛱️

Full sun isn't always a good thing for crops. In July and August, it can result in partial or even total crop loss in some parts of the U.S. Investing in shade structures can pay for itself quickly when the temperatures climb and cause even warm-season crops to struggle.

Learn how to install your own basic, low-tech shade structures in this ATTRA blog: https://buff.ly/CZFtufV
