Iran, Fertilizer, Fuel and Food.

By
 I wanted to share this article regarding the impact of the conflict on fertilizer exports and farming: https://apnews.com/article/iran-war-fertilizer-exports-farming-3b7c92d58dba0817c3aa8f1db47464b7 It seems that any experts paying attention to the intersection of agriculture and the economy should have seen this coming. Too bad Donnie and his DOGE buddies fired as many experts as he could get away with. On the brighter side, this is the best example of why we must absolutely start moving as quickly as possible towards the organic and regenerative agriculture styles of production for food, fiber, fodder and even fuel to whatever degrees we can. We will have to have some fossil fuels and lubricants while we crank up the production of cleaner natural alternatives . I know the giant agro-industrial complex producers will say that we cannot produce enough food, fiber or fodder without billions of tons of chemicals and poisons. No matter what the commercial agriculture produces sa...

The SPEED Act and the Technocracy.

By
  The speed act is a disaster waiting to happen. It will dismantle many of the most important environmental regulations and guidelines that prevent the many unforeseen consequences of mining minerals ⛏️ and energy projects. To say nothing about the vast build out of AI data centers, crypto mining and more fossil fuel infrastructure. The Trumpster administration has shut down many of the renewable energy projects that were already paid for during Biden years. Whatever happened to all that money? Information on the SPEED Act proposed by Congressman Bruce Westerman . https://share.google/aimode/sjKFaN8rvowaHCLzk Are you ready to return to a theocratic, technocratic, totalitarian state?

Introduction Plan; Regenerative Agriculture Alternatives for Struggling Farmers.

By
  Regenerative agriculture is a holistic land management philosophy that rehabilitates ecosystem functions by focusing on soil health, biodiversity, and water quality. Unlike sustainable farming, which aims to maintain the status quo, this approach actively reverses degradation, increases carbon sequestration, reduces synthetic inputs, and strengthens climate resilience. Restoring humus to the soil .  One of the best and fastest ways to restore carbon to the soil where it belongs is to let the plants and animals that put it there in the first place, put it back. Humus is the foundation of the soil food web. Key Principles and Practices Minimal Soil Disturbance:  Reducing or eliminating tillage to prevent erosion and preserve soil structure. Cover Cropping & Living Roots:  Keeping the soil covered year-round to protect it and maintain a living root system, which feeds soil biology. Diversity: Restoring Carbon into the soil. The r...

T hi s can be dry leaves, grass clippings and spent garden plants or even dead weeds. Always save your leaves. Trees are deep rooted and have lots of trace minerals and carbon. Second is Nitrogen. Kitchen scraps or coffee grounds are a good source. Animal manures, like chicken, horse, cow or sheep are good. Green matter like grass clippings or green leaves, also h ave Nitrogen and are a good source. Bean or Pea vines and other legumes while still green are excellent. Third is Water.

These include fish amphibians, birds and people. What kind of unintended effect are known for the herbicide Atrazine in disrupting hormone functions in animals, including Amphibians, fish, Birds and mammals? Atrazine , an herbicide widely used in agriculture, has been studied for its potential effects on hormone function in various animals, including amphibians, fish, birds, and mammals. Here are some of the unintended effects that have been observed: Amphibians: Atrazine exposure has been linked to feminization of male frogs , leading to the development of female reproductive organs (gonadal intersex) and altered mating behaviors. It can also affect thyroid hormone levels, metamorphosis, and immune function in amphibians. Fish: Atrazine exposure in fish has been shown to disrupt the endocrine s...
