The “pothole corn” was winning on the drainage project before this snow

We’ve been towing around our corn planter after everything is seeded each year and seeding the potholes to grazing corn to promote roots for drainage and reclaim some of these areas over time. Will see in 2 weeks if it goes down. @MaizexWest

Elon Musk thinks the entire education system is built on a broken assumption. That every student should learn the same thing. At the same speed. In the same order. At the same time. Musk: “Everyone goes through from like 5th grade to 6th grade to 7th grade like it’s an assembly line. But people are not objects on an assembly line.” The model was designed for a factory economy. Standardized inputs. Predictable outputs. That economy is gone. The assembly line is gone. But the education system still runs on its logic. A student who masters algebra in two weeks sits through eight more weeks because the calendar says so. A student who struggles gets dragged forward because the schedule doesn’t wait. Neither is being served. Both are being processed. Musk: “Allow people to progress at the fastest pace that they can or are interested in, in each subject.” AI doesn’t teach a classroom. It teaches a student. One at a time. Every time. It skips what a student already knows. It finds where they’re stuck and approaches it from a different angle. It adjusts in real time. Not at the end of a semester when the damage is already done. A student obsessed with basketball learns fractions through shooting percentages. A student who builds in Minecraft learns geometry through architecture. The subject doesn’t change. The entry point does. No teacher with thirty students can do this. Not because they lack skill. Because the math doesn’t work. AI doesn’t have that constraint. Musk: “You do not need to tell your kid to play video games. They will play video games on autopilot all day. So if you can make it interactive and engaging, then you can make education far more compelling.” The brain isn’t broken. The format is. Kids learn complex systems and strategic thinking for hours voluntarily. Then walk into a classroom and can’t focus for twenty minutes. That’s not a discipline problem. That’s a design problem. Musk: “A university education is often unnecessary. You probably learn the vast majority of what you’re going to learn there in the first two years. And most of it is from your classmates.” Four years. Six figures of debt. And the real value comes from the people sitting next to you. Not the institution charging you. The degree doesn’t certify knowledge. It certifies endurance. Musk: “If the goal is to start a company, I would say no point in finishing college.” The system was built to train employees. If you’re not trying to be one, it has nothing left to offer you. Every lecture. Every textbook. Every curriculum. Now available instantly. Personalized to any learner. Adapted to any pace. The question isn’t whether the old model survives. It’s how long we keep forcing students through it while the replacement already exists.

@CRToney2 @liberal_party Stripper stubble and tall stubble in general gives predators the advantage and gophers the disadvantage.

@Wiserfool2 @CRToney2 @liberal_party Secondary kills can be an issue but I’m a believer that if we leave control measures in place we typically can get numbers to a manageable level which means we use less and secondary kills become very low. Down the hole every time is a great way to keep secondary kills down.

@CRToney2 @TroyLaForge @liberal_party Last year on my gopher control trip, I watched a pair of beautiful Turkey Vultures eventually land and feast on the gopher carcasses I left in a field near Frontier, Sask. My first thought on reading this news was, "Oh, those birds were just starting to make a comeback.".........

Encouragement for any potential flax growers out there. After many dry seasons this field hit a home run last fall.I’ve seen this kind of flax yield a few times in SW Sk. Great yield potential from CDC Rowland. We have a good supply of certified seed left. @SeCan @SeCanLauren

@Joe_Widdup @SaskParty @PremierScottMoe I didn’t. But I asked if I should when they haven’t balanced a budget in a long time and their guiding documents say to balance the budget. I asked why they didn’t answer the question re getting an opportunity for a referendum and if I should donate when they aren’t doing this.

Just had a call from @SaskParty looking for a donation after buying a membership and attending the party convention where we asked @PremierScottMoe how we get to a referendum vote on our sovereignty. The answer was how he’d fought off the carbon tax. Do I send another donation?

@JLinvilleFert In the big picture what percent of acres could go to pulses in the world without tanking pulse markets to make a notable decrease in n prices or needs?

Long nitrogen fertilizer post: Lot of folks asking "how do we solve this crisis quickly?". Short answer...you don't. The damage is done. We CAN alleviate some of the problems and we CAN help put the market in a better place for the next generation: Very short-term: consider another government farmer payout - I am not a fan of gov't subsidy payments, but when gov't action destroys the farmer markets, I can justify them. This helps the average farmer survive the year. Short-term: do away with DEF requirements - talk to most people who have to use DEF and they will be more than happy to share why it sucks. Removing requirements puts a lot of tons back in farmers hands. Medium-term: look into enticing existing production into debottleneck projects/production expansions - yes, I know this just makes the big companies bigger but the problem is not the number of companies but rather the lack of supply. We need an injection of supply sooner than later. Long-term: finance package for a new company to build a new world scale nitrogen production facility - this checks the box for more competition and more supply in the market. This would take years...again, we are thinking of the next generation. This is just my personal two-cents and honestly, my personal POV is rarely worth that much!
