On the advice of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/animalscience.ucdavis.edu\/FarmAdvisors\/Nader\/\">Glenn Nader, a UC Cooperative Extension farm advisor<\/a>\u00a0based in Yuba City, Thompson took the initiative to research wood ash on his own, going as far as to establish a connection with an Oroville-based energy plant 20 minutes away, which was paying millions to deliver wood ash to the landfill.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the difference in growth from that wood ash can be seen in two adjoining pastures on Thompson\u2019s foothill ranch. One layered in ash three years ago has chest-high grass despite the drought, while the untreated pasture has considerably shorter ground cover.<\/p>\n<p>While the benefits of supplementing crops with ash have long been known, the UC Davis researchers were interested in specifically how it was altering the soil composition to promote plant growth and how it could help other ranchers in this Northern California region.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">\u201cIt has improved our feed production significantly,\u201d says Thompson. \u201cWith that, in conjunction with fencing and the rotational grazing, we seem to be doing OK through this drought period.\u201d<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Ken Tate, a plant sciences professor and a Cooperative Extension rangeland watershed specialist, recently<a href=\"http:\/\/news.ucdavis.edu\/search\/news_detail.lasso?id=10817\">surveyed more than 500 ranchers<\/a>\u00a0and says Thompson falls into the roughly 5 percent of California ranchers practicing these types of strategies in hopes of gaining more productivity from their land.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMel is what we call an early adopter, someone who has a large toolbox and a lot of information that he makes use of,\u201d Tate says. \u201cHe\u2019s an innovator and experimenter in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ucdavis.edu\/ucdavis-today\/2014\/august\/20-sheep-rancher.html\">Link to item on UC Davis web site<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Brad Hooker While a severe drought continues to devastate California agriculture, one sheep rancher in Oroville has found a centuries-old solution at the bottom of his wood stove \u2014 and researchers at UC Davis are paying attention.
