@DrLizaMD @simonmaechling Lysenkonisme is showing its face again, here in Denmark. Just claim what you like, regarding ". Natural Farming" , as long as its sounds beautiful.

This is the most important thread you will read all day. Trofim Lysenko was Stalin’s minister of agriculture. He didn’t believe in genetics. His fraudulent science shaped Soviet agriculture. Nikolai Vavilov - arguably the most important plant scientist in the 20th century after Norman Borlaug - disagreed with Lysenko. And was sent to the gulag for his trouble. He died of starvation - as did 100 million other nameless souls. Every single one of them as important as you & I are individually. Because of bad agricultural policy. Lysenkoism is on the rise. It needs to be buried in the dustbin of history👇🏽

The world's greatest botanist died of starvation in a Soviet prison. His crime: refusing to say plants worked the way Stalin needed them to. 🧵

@agronomistag Isn't the main argument for biochar to store carbon? At least it is here in Denmark The production of biochar on a large scale doesn't work particularly well here In addition to achieve carbonization it causes major problems with air pollution in relation to the neighbors

@TerryDaynard The authorities do not contribute anything in terms of improvements, other than making demands. However, support is provided for research in the area. The story of Bovaer will go down in history as a disgrace

@BayKbs Will government do this better than farmers, especially for N efficiency. I recognize incentives likely needed for non-profit-affecting items like N2O reduction? Danish experience with Boever is seen as an example, in Canada, of what can happen with excessive govt intervention.

Lots of concerns about N fertilizer in Europe too. However the EU focus seems to be primarily about regulation. Ours in Canada is more about increased use efficiency (and N2O release too).
COPA-COGECA@COPACOGECA

When it comes to fertilisers, the 🇪🇺 has the tools to act! Decisive measures are urgently needed to safeguard farm viability and Europe’s food security in an increasingly turbulent geopolitical context. Following the mobilisation of thousands of farmers in Brussels last December calling for urgent action on fertiliser prices, the Praesidia of @COPACOGECA has approved the farming sector’s common position on a comprehensive set of immediate, medium- and long-term measures to deliver relief and restore market stability ahead of the long-awaited Fertiliser Action Plan by @EU_Commission Among other actions, @COPACOGECA calls for: 📛 Suspending the CBAM for fertilisers and mitigating its cost impact 📛Suspending MFN tariffs and anti-dumping measures on fertiliser imports ✅Amending the Nitrates Directive without delay to allow greater flexibility in the use of manure where agronomically justified ✅Authorising the use of digestate above current thresholds 📐Harmonised rules to scale up organic and recycled nutrients that can substitute synthetic nitrogen 📏Aligning RENURE criteria with the Joint Research Centre’s recommendations to ensure full technological neutrality 🔎Reinforcing the Fertiliser Market Observatory and strictly enforcing competition rules 🧐 Closely monitoring the market to provide farmers with reliable information on fertiliser availability and fair pricing The upcoming Fertiliser Action Plan must reflect the agronomic and economic realities on the ground, deliver immediate relief, and set a credible pathway towards sustainable nutrient management. These measures represent the minimum response needed to address a crisis that farmers have been warning about for years, one whose consequences could extend far beyond agriculture and impact the European Union as a whole.

@TerryDaynard I would say its totally opposite. Here is, from the authorities, a huges focus on N efficiency and N2O emissions.

@BayKbs But I do think there is a notable difference between the EU and Canada/US in comparative use of government regs to deal with needs like this.

⚠️#CBAM enforcement sparks 80% drop in fertiliser imports: another farming crisis looms? 🚨The latest figures from the @EU_Commission confirm a dramatic and unprecedented collapse in 🇪🇺 nitrogen fertiliser imports following the entry into force of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. ➡️In January 2026, the 🇪🇺 imported only 179,877 tonnes of nitrogen fertilisers, compared with 1,183,728 tonnes in January 2025 🚜These figures validate the repeated warnings from @COPACOGECA and the December and January protests calls for the postponing of CBAM implementation for fertilisers. A harsh reality is now knocking at the EU’s door ! 📢We are now calling for the immediate suspension of CBAM on fertilisers to prevent further disruption and safeguard European agriculture. ⏳Structural measures are also needed to ensure the long-term availability and affordability of fertilisers within the EU. Copa and Cogeca stand ready to contribute concrete proposals to the forthcoming Fertilisers Action Plan. However, without immediate short-term actions, the sector risks sliding into a major crisis. 🔗Read full press release >>>>> copa-cogeca.eu/press-releases

@Gerashchenko_en The point is that Europeans are ready to put troops on the ground against the United States for Greenland but won't do that for Ukraine ? Why ?

With the Venezuela issue still unresolved, President Trump shifted attention to a new direction - Greenland. He reiterated the claim that "the United States needs Greenland" for defense purposes, citing Russian and Chinese presence. The response from Nuuk and Copenhagen was firm: the island is not an object of trade, and any form of engagement is possible only with the participation of Denmark and Greenland’s autonomous government. The key nuance is that Greenland has long been embedded in U.S. defense architecture. A U.S.-Denmark defense agreement has been in force since 1951; the former Thule Air Base became part of the missile early-warning system in the late 1960s. Today, Pituffik Space Base (since 2023), operated by the U.S. Space Force, is a component of the Arctic "sensor belt" alongside Alaska and Northern Canada. It monitors the shortest missile and air routes between Russia and the United States and is integrated into the U.S./NATO missile defense architecture. Thus, the added value of "ownership" lies not in presence per se, but in sovereignty: minimal political constraints, direct control over infrastructure, regulation, and third-party access. Although the U.S. National Security Strategy (December 2025) does not single out the Arctic as a separate priority, it does register a shift: the Western Hemisphere becomes the primary arena for establishing U.S. influence - which in practical terms includes both Canada and Greenland. These declarations are backed by organizational steps: on December 22, 2025, President Trump announced the appointment of a U.S. Special Envoy for Greenland. The United States’ "real interest" in Greenland is not an "island for the island’s sake," but a bundle of advantages. ◾️ First, military-strategic: consolidating control over the Arctic "northern arc" of early warning/missile defense and the space domain along the shortest route between Russia and North America. ◾️ Second, geoeconomic: critical minerals and resource potential as a means of reducing supply-chain vulnerabilities in high-tech industries and defense. ◾️ Third, logistical: Greenland’s potential role as an infrastructure hub at the junction of the Arctic and the North Atlantic as northern routes gain importance. ◾️ Fourth, political-strategic: denying competitors access to infrastructure, data, and resource projects, while maximizing U.S. freedom of action without allied constraints. President Trump’s rhetoric about Russian and Chinese threats is largely a political manipulation. The Chinese track has already been largely neutralized: Denmark previously blocked strategic Chinese investments on the island, taking U.S. concerns into account. Russia’s interest in the western sector of the Arctic follows a different geometry. The key node there is Svalbard, with critical infrastructure such as SvalSat, which controls the "gateway" between the Western Arctic and the North Atlantic. In a broader political framework, this reflects the continued normalization of the logic of spheres of influence. Control over Greenland would strengthen U.S. positions in the North Atlantic and increase leverage over Canada, but it would not automatically confer dominance in the Western Arctic. Hence the dilemma: either broaden pressure further (including along the Norwegian vector), or de facto accept the strengthening of Russia’s Arctic claims.

Great to see our customer Maximilian Best is out in perfect conditions near Frankfurt, creating over-winter strips for his sugarbeet with his Horizon SPX Strip-Till Cultivator. The cover crop mix was established directly into the wheat stubble in August
