@CoverCropCoach What a precious image, Steve! Ohio? Pennsylvania? Much negative might be said about these people, but they definitely live close to the land. And if they turn up in such numbers for a cover crop demonstration it must convey a loud message.

I did 5 local #covercrop and no-till meetings for the Amish community the past 3 days. Here is a planting demo.

This good news and a step in the right direction - now some places in Africa....

Nothing makes you lose faith in your government than the loss of simple services like failing to keep the lights on. Load shedding is not a natural disaster; it is mismanagement of the country on a grand scale

@WandileSihlobo We have the capability, we are ready. Although government is not supporting us we will do this independently.

This is a friendly reminder there are still no known arrests in connection with the #VBSBank fraud, theft and money laundering as yet. Advocate Terry Motau’s report was release six weeks ago. What is taking the authorities so long? @SAReserveBank @SAPoliceService @GovernmentZA

Six things to remember about medicine; 1. Vaccines dont cause autism. 2. Vitamin pills are usually just end up as expensive urine. 3. Antibiotics don't work on colds. 4. CPR doesn't work like on TV. 5. Homeopathy is not medicine. 6. Treatment may take time to work.

Een jaar se proewe en twee jaar se dekgewasaanplantings waarmee mnr. Izak Dreyer sowat R4 300 wins per hektaar behaal het, het hom oortuig dekgewasse kan ’n integrale en winsgewende deel van sy #saaiboerdery word. Lees meer hier: goo.gl/zY6aNw #GraanSA

Thank you for your presence today @theresa_may. Our people fought together on those lands. We are bound by the memory we owe to those in so many of our families who gave their lives one century ago.

Imagine if the ANC and EFF fought to fix primary- and secondary education as hard as they're fighting to save VBS Mutual Bank.

The true test of integrity is what you do when no one is watching or you’re unlikely to be found out #IntegrityMatters

New CA trial in the sandy area of the Swartland had an amazing first season. Wheat ave 3.6 t/ha. Best 4.3t/ha. Barley 4.3 t/ha. Best part: the canola on canola 1.7 ton/ha. Cereal rye 2.8t. Triticale 4.1t/ha. 3 sytems. 2 seeders and 3 reps

I can't wait for this one. RT: Public protector investigates Pravin Gordhan businesslive.co.za/bd/national/20… via @BDliveSA

@ZakesMda @RomanCabanac Agreed. But where is the alternative? I'll vote tomorrow for Mosioua and his party, but why do they still lack financial backing? And the infighting in the DA is, to say the least, onsmaaklik en onnodig.

This is not the government we deserve! (On second thought more than 62.1% South African voters -including me - voted them into power. We deserve all the shame and embarrassment. It is the government we deserve!)

@CoetzeeBertie Appelkose, vye en suurlemoene is my voorstel.

@MarleenSmith Pekans, amandels, appels en pere, nog baie ander volgende jaar

Our food forest / kosbos / agroforestry / alley-cropping experiment coming along. Double irrigation system designed to manage trees and annuals separately. Swales dropping approx 0.5 m and 10m apart ~ 3m road and work area, 4m cash crops and 3m food forest.

“H” is for hawk. A beautiful hawk crossed my path this morning! Happy Halloween!
