It's a bug vacuum! For real. One of the challenges of Organic alfalfa seed production is Lygus bug control. Our Organic seed grower in MB uses this giant vacuum to suck the bugs off the growing alfalfa plants.

Checked up on some previously forward and leafy Extase yesterday, which we have had a go at grazing - hopefully we can reduce fungicide and PGR inputs here! 🤞🐑🌾

Winter wheat, Mykolaiv, Ukraine, this morning. Farmers considering applying fertiliser, along with the usual agronomic decision they also need to factor in if it will be safe to do so.

Would anybody like to be our 2 ic? My wife Anna and I run 350 spring calving cross bred cows on a grass based system, also rearing our heifers on the same grass paddock system. We are looking for someone/or a couple to take on the bulk of the milking and some stock work.
