Scott Day, our Director of Agronomy, will participate in Digital Agriculture Week 2024. As a supporting partner, we invite AgTech startups to apply. 15 will be selected to participate in person with all expenses paid. For more: drive.google.com/file/d/1TkoKvL…

In the Mississippi Delta, aerial herbicide applications face challenges like off-target drift, exposing non-target plants, and promoting resistant weeds. This limits crop selection, as farmers avoid planting susceptible crops near treated fields. From: @chalaoliverio

Soil analysis provides valuable insights such us nutrient levels, pH, and soil microbiology, which impact nutrient cycle dynamics and soil-borne disease risk. We use it to establish a baseline when acquiring farms and to track the impact of our practices. From: @chalaoliverio

Frequent aftermath of rain causing significant soil erosion despite its flat terrain. As managers, we focus on practices such as cover crops to counter this issue. With our farmers, we customize mixes for each field to protect soil and ensure productivity. From: @chalaoliverio

Following potato harvest in the fall, triticale was seeded on this Columbia River Basin farm. Its winter hardiness allowed robust growth through the initial winter period, and it now lies beneath a snow blanket until the spring thaw. From: Joel Edmonds & Baptiste Tellier

We are pleased to announce @chalaoliverio's promotion to Director of Farm Acquisition and Management! Joaquin will lead our efforts in farm acquisition and management. For opportunities related to farming, purchasing, or selling farms, contact him at joaquin@fall-line-cap.com

Congratulations to the @guardian_ag team on becoming the first eVTOL manufacturer to begin commercial operations! axios.com/2023/12/04/cro…

In this Field Note episode, Chris Seifert, Co-Founder of @acrevalue, discusses building software systems to measure #FarmLand value and climate change’s impact on #AgTech innovations. music.amazon.com/podcasts/5fa34…

In this Field Note, @vivzhong97 explores the complex regulatory landscape of novel #agricultural products through a detailed case study. It sheds light on the nuances of product registration and the interplay between the @EPA, @USDA, and @US_FDA. fall-line-capital.com/fieldnotes/ind…

Congratulations to the @bonsai_robotics team! We are thrilled to have participated in the round. techcrunch.com/2023/10/02/eye…

In Part 2 of this Field Notes podcast, @tjarkoleifer, CEO of @FarmWiseLabs, talks about the entrepreneurial side of acquisitions and creating scalability through #agtech branding strategies. music.amazon.com/podcasts/5fa34…

The most visible heat and drought tolerance mechanism in #soybeans is leaf inversion. This boosts surface light reflectance, safeguarding the photosystems from excess light, reducing transpiration, and mitigating temperature stress. From: Baptiste Tellier & @Doroney

At Fall Line, we aim to promote economic viability and environmental stewardship in #agriculture by adopting conservation practices like cover cropping and no-till techniques, particularly in rotations involving low-residue #crops. From: @chalaoliverio & Baptiste Tellier

Our #canola in northern #Wisconsin is currently in the seed development stage. We have supported its inclusion in the rotation for several years, reaping agronomical, workload, and risk management benefits for both the land and the farmer. From: B. Tellier, F. D'Cruz & S. Day

Farmers in northwestern Wisconsin have consistently outpaced national crop yield growth averages in recent years. We track crop rotations as part of our impact program, as longer and more diverse rotations bring multiple agronomic benefits. From: Baptiste Tellier & Thiago Lima

Geocarpy is a phenomenon observed in peanuts and a few other crops. Following pollination, a "peg" emerges from the ovary and extends downward into the soil. The peanut embryo forms at the tip of the peg and matures into a peanut underground. From: B. Tellier & @chalaoliverio

In today's Field Notes podcast, Cole Pestorius, 6th generation farmer and pioneer seed dealer at Frontier Family Farms, discusses the processes and business implications of organic farming. music.amazon.com/podcasts/5fa34…
