As a consevationist I feel less John Dunbar and more Dance's with wolves these days.

Soil compaction is the #1 symptom of dysfunctional soil. Living roots are the only long term solution. Check out this Strip Till farmer article for tips on addressing compaction. striptillfarmer.com/articles…

We don’t get headaches because we have an aspirin deficiency, and plants don’t get diseases because they have a pesticide deficiency.

Video showing soil "creep". Heavier particles will creep across fields to ditches & neighboring fields. Lighter particles like clay can easily become airborne and can move 1,000 of miles away. #covercrops and residue prevent the loss of your best soil #soilhealth @UMNExt

There’s a line in Wendell Berry’s book unsettling America about supporting the people who practice conservation. I have taken that to heart in the last few years. @Ndfarmgirl1

I have to wake up super early to feed them so they can go back to sleep on the couch. #labradorretriever

Drill versus #drone fall seeded cereal rye #covercrop
Drone: more advanced cereal rye in the spring (seeded earlier in the fall)
Drill: more uniform cereal rye stand
The drone seeded cereal rye onto corn looks promising @badgerbean

Rice and wheat, two of the most crucial food staples worldwide, have experienced a significant decline in nutritional quality over the past 50 years.
The essential mineral concentration in rice has decreased by 36%, while in wheat, it has dropped by 57%.
At the same time, toxic elements like aluminum have increased by as much as 78%.
This deficiency in nutritional quality, coupled with elevated concentrations of toxic elements, lies at the heart of the overfed yet undernourished paradox.

I've been the laughingstock. I also feel like my ground is finally at the stage where weather problems no longer have the outsized effect they used to. Bring on weather volatility, I've learned a lot since the floods of 17,18,19 and the horrible droughts of 21,22,23.

I’ll leave this here.
The fear of looking like an idiot trumps to value of striving towards innovation.
I like the bruises personally, but I think my mom dropped me and didn’t tell me or anyone else.

I don't ascribe to the "carbon is the enemy" narrative. However I do believe our living planet is in peril. We must act, and move others to action. There's no more time for shadow boxing invisible foe.
To begin we must ask: what happened here?
