Great plan (got mine too) but be prepared to feel like crap for a day or two.

I can think of a really good reason.

You're right, ag isn't on Bluesky. But I can't justify contributing content to X... it's become a toxic hellhole and I'm not going to drive traffic there.

At an interesting extension conf today and recent data shows that social media in ag drives adoption much less than other tools. Food 4 thought

To my mind... it doesn't matter how much of a nutrient bank a field has if there a lack of water to bring it into the plant. If you have access to irrigation and good soil structure, you can definitely grow crops with low OM...but that is very region specific. PNW has gift of near limitless H20

I would struggle to find a farmer that would label a low OM sandy field as "fertile" unless they had irrigation. That very much hit home here this year, where much of PEI got less than 4 in of rain from July 1 to mid Sept.

I agree in part... but the large majority of acres can't be irrigated today. So having resilient soils that can feed plants during periods of drought has value in most farming areas.

2nd pitch of the at bat should have been a strike. Evens out

38.4 mm at Kensington, PE (PEI Dept of Ag station). Rest of PEI looks like 15-25 mm

Oh how I wish we could have actually got something here in PEI. Crops are desperate for water.
