Iola, Kansas · a working trial

Farming with the biology already in the field

Metabolic Agriculture reads the weeds a field grows, cultures a preparation from plants rooted in that same soil, and applies it at the moment the crop can use it. No imported strains, no proprietary formulation. This is an attempt to make it work on dryland corn, soybeans and wheat in south-east Kansas, and to find out honestly whether it does.

Read the method What it is, why the local plants matter, what the four phases do, and what we still do not know. Open the field tool Walk a field, photograph what grows, plan a season. Works with no signal. Sign in to keep it across devices.

Where this stands

One farm near Iola. Fields mapped from public data, zones drawn from lidar and eight years of satellite imagery, a fall plant inventory before first frost, then a winter of design with Anscari Fuentes, whose book this follows, and first applications in spring 2027.

Everything here is in the open, including what has gone wrong. If it does not work in Kansas, that will be written down too.
