    Understanding Business Grants and Business Loans

    STRUCTURED & PROJECT FINANCE

    By REAL BRIDGING

    Published Nov 14 

    Real Bridging Finance Limited provides both structured and project finance. Structured finance allow us to securitized assets, to leverage asset values to the value or the assets and amount of the needed capital. Whereas Project Finance encompasses all off-balance sheet sources of funding, not only securitized sources. As an example we broadly categorize the sources of finance for new assets into balance sheet financing and project financing. We have used both structured and project financing projects in energy, minerals, and technology...

    Often some of the best research is hidden behind a pay wall. This is no fault of the researcher who is forced to publish in a system that doesn't have their best interests (or ours) in mind. Here's a link to an open-source site sharing research and data from across the country. Includes on-farm data.

    Hi Pat;

    One of the purposes of cover crop rolling is the intended reduction or elimination of burn down herbicides. Most studies I have read showed great promise with rolling and crimping. Now for the hard truth: burn down herbicides have actually shown faster increases in traditional measurable soil organic matter than even the best of organic methods, but the assumption is that these herbicides have the negative consequence of destroying much of the beneficial bacteria and other necessary micro-organisms creating an overall net-negative effect (the biological aspect that is difficult or expensive to measure). The fact of the matter is that there aren't enough studies to validate this because we have looked at soil incorrectly (in my humble opinion) for centuries, generally from a geological perspective. There is so much we don't know about soil, and so many assumptions we have made regarding soil that the Soil Science Society has redefined the term ‘soil science'. This corrected definition was made in large part to include the biological aspect of soil as we now it. We often fail to realize that science is ever evolving, instead working from an assumption that we have reached the ‘pinnacle' of a specific area of study. In fact, the soil lab I interned at was conducting a study on this very aspect. My internship was completed before the study was (and I was under a confidentiality agreement) but highly recommend utilizing the information from the attached link. Best of luck my friend!

    If you are using a cover crop roller prior to planting, should you burn down before or after rolling the cover crops?

    Often some of the best research is hidden behind a pay wall. This is no fault of the researcher who is forced to publish in a system that doesn't have their best interests (or ours) in mind. Here's a link to an open-source site sharing research and data from across the country. Includes on-farm data.

    Hi Pat;

    One of the purposes of cover crop rolling is the intended reduction or elimination of burn down herbicides. Most studies I have read showed great promise with rolling and crimping. Now for the hard truth: burn down herbicides have actually shown faster increases in traditional measurable soil organic matter than even the best of organic methods, but the assumption is that these herbicides have the negative consequence of destroying much of the beneficial bacteria and other necessary micro-organisms creating an overall net-negative effect (the biological aspect that is difficult or expensive to measure). The fact of the matter is that there aren't enough studies to validate this because we have looked at soil incorrectly (in my humble opinion) for centuries, generally from a geological perspective. There is so much we don't know about soil, and so many assumptions we have made regarding soil that the Soil Science Society has redefined the term ‘soil science'. This corrected definition was made in large part to include the biological aspect of soil as we now it. We often fail to realize that science is ever evolving, instead working from an assumption that we have reached the ‘pinnacle' of a specific area of study. In fact, the soil lab I interned at was conducting a study on this very aspect. My internship was completed before the study was (and I was under a confidentiality agreement) but highly recommend utilizing the information from the attached link. Best of luck my friend!
