As a land owner all I can think of is; I wonder what the unforseen outcomes of this might be?

Will it turn my soil acidic? Will it kill off bacteria? Will reduce drainage or will my soil suddenly be unable to hold water? Will it harm the nematodes, will it create a nutrient imbalance that is only corrected by some monsanto/bayer patented soil amendment?

These are the same questions I raised in an earlier comment. They are pertinent.

Peculiar as to why this is pitched at farmers. Maybe there could be a question of ulterior motives.
