In the warmer regions of our continent, the combines have already started working in the fields and the barley harvest has begun. However, a large part of Europe is still waiting for the harvest to start. During this last calm period, it is worth rethinking the follow-up actions after the harvest, specifically the long-term optimization of soil productivity, which means building organic matter in the soil. More specifically, about introducing cover crops. The goal of this short article is to answer four key questions regarding the practical application of cover crops this year and in the coming years: What? How? Where? When?

Our good partners from Paul-Tech and their soil stations have monitored the impact of different cultivation methods on the plant-growing environment in a trial we organised. With Paul-Tech's kind permission, we are republishing an overview of the effects of different agro-techniques on plant-growing conditions, which was first published on their blog. The trial was carried out on a field in Tartumaa, Rannu Seemne OÜ, where field peas were in the crop rotation in 2024, preceded by a diverse cover crop.

The project strengthens the accuracy of eAgronom’s carbon credit system, benefiting farmers across Europe and beyond

This article examines how drones are revolutionizing cover crop sowing at Snåttsta Farm in Sweden, showcasing their role in enhancing soil health, crop rotation efficiency, and sustainable agriculture. It highlights farmer Emil Jansson's experiences and NordLuft’s innovations, exploring the benefits, challenges, and global potential of this technology.

On August 29, eAgronom organized its second Direct Drill Demo Day, held in the fields of Mäe Teravili OÜ in Kautjala village, Harju County. This year's event gathered many farmers and experts to discuss and experience the possibilities and challenges of direct drilling. While the previous demo day focused on simpler conditions, in 2024, drilling techniques were tested in complex soil conditions and on fields covered with higher biomass—challenges familiar to many farmers.

Autumn has arrived, and with it, the time to take stock of last year's Direct Drill Demo Day. It was a valuable experience both for us and for all the participants, who were able to take a closer look at direct sowing technology and see how the different seeders work in real life.

The field pea that has sprouted in eAgronom's demo farm has been damaged by weevils. The situation varies on plots where we test and compare tillage intensity. Read more about this and other updates from our demofarm in this blog post!

Winter wheat that was sown by 16 different seeding machines has survived the winter and is growing rapidly - it's time for a spring review from our Direct Drilling Demo Day field!

What happened to the winter oilseed rape sown in August 2023, how do the winter-killed cover crops help control weeds, and what will we analyse from the soil samples taken from the field?

In 1999 Benito Cortines purchased a Brazilian made drill, a Semeato TDNG 420, a small grain no-till seeder for sowing his cereal crops on the home farm near Jerez in Southern Spain, which at the time was 300 hectares.

Changing conventional practices to more sustainable ones requires a deep knowledge of regenerative agriculture. eAgronom's agronomical advisor Piibe Vaher is a person who works with farmers daily to help them adopt these practices. We invited Piibe for an interview to tell us more about her experience working with farmers.

Is regenerative agriculture profitable? Agronomic consultant Ed Brown believes so. At Northern Roots Forum, we had the opportunity to ask him about his experiences with regen ag.

One single and a mix of different cover crops was grown on our Estonian trial field in autumn 2023. This article gives an overview of their biomass analysis results and the carbon sequestration potential.

In recent months, there's a term that is increasingly talked about: Carbon Agriculture.

The fact that earthworms in the soil are desirable organisms is probably known to everyone. Their importance in shaping soil fertility and health is discussed in agricultural press, spoken about in podcasts, and presented in lectures on topics related to organic matter and soil biological life.

Through its carbon credit program, soil testing projects, and sustainability-increasing measures, eAgronom is improving the livelihoods and soil health of farms across Africa.

Our mission at eAgronom is clear – to champion the widespread adoption of regenerative practices among farmers by revitalising our precious soil and combating climate change.

First results from the eAgronom's Direct Drilling Demo Day's field - get an overview of the field's situation in autumn by descriptions, graphs and pictures!

At the event, we will share field test results of 24 different species and mixtures, talk about the importance of earthworms in the soil - presentation by Dr. David Jones from UK, conduct a field walk and much more!

Agriculture continues to evolve in practice and purpose. Carbon offset farming or the practice of sequestering carbon in agricultural soils is on the rise due to multiple factors related to the environment and farm profit.

Managing the soil is a big part of farming. In recent years there’s been a rapid shift to low-carbon agriculture. This is an opportunity for farmers to focus on practices and innovations that help soils become more sustainable for farmers and the environment, particularly in storing carbon to manage rising greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.

Farmers everywhere look for ways to keep the farm productive for generations to come. As the reality of climate change and global instabilities shake the agriculture industry, alternative solutions are becoming more viable than ever before.

As food demands and farming methods develop, more farmers are understanding that crop production requires balancing resources to maintain productivity over the years to come.

Carbon is a major component of soil organic matter yet it often goes unnoticed in farming. Meanwhile, managing nutrients like N:P:K and other micronutrients for crop production is standard agriculture knowledge.

Farmers face unique challenges from the fields to the industry level. In recent years, sustainable agricultural practices have been put into focus as governments and consumers call for solutions to reach net-zero global carbon emissions. In agriculture, this is where carbon farming comes in.

Crop rotation is one of the oldest methods used in farming. Today combined with modern technologies, is capable of producing even more substantial yield
