@PatrickHeizer Wheat farming in the Palouse region

No, modern agriculture can't utilize terraces for slope farming. In order to achieve economies of scale, current machinery needs open, flat ground. Terrace agriculture requires exponentially more labor (the book cover). This might change w/ robotics (not necessarily humanoids)

@bartontool2 @Gamer_Kun77 @DocStrangelove2 It’s the kind of thing that a procurement program would love and people in the field hate. Republic of Elbonia levels of shenanigans @ForgotWeapons

@ArableSam @Gamer_Kun77 @DocStrangelove2 That would be great at reloading 🤣

I don't know who's getting the Tanzanian military the Double Barrel AR, but respect.

@Gamer_Kun77 @DocStrangelove2 Just to keep things interesting one barrel should be in 5.56 and the other in .300 Blackout or .50 Beowulf

@DocStrangelove2 Oh I know what that AR is, it’s a Kosher Rifle! The Gilboa Snake! It’s a Double Barreled AR-15 that originated from Israel. It’s actually a really cool fun gun.

@1901gennelm Your right. It’s house Martin’s we have

@ArableSam They look like House Martin boxes ?

Swallow nests put in place. Had some right over a doorway so have provided alternatives

@LeoForde @Smartheat Nothing like a gasoline water fight with friends at these trying times

@ArableSam @Smartheat Accurate representation

Simon Harris proposal to ease the pain of the cost of fuel…pump attendants so you don’t see yourself being screwed

@Smartheat @LeoForde

@LeoForde I was hoping 😜🤣

@amerpipedream Apparently most where steamrolled into the foundation of barracks

Irish army used to wear stahlhelms btw

@bryanjdaniels @rayofoghlu Squrrosum clover 11 of August. Got nailed by the heat wave. Headlands ok because they got rolled twice

@rayofoghlu @ArableSam When was it sown and what variety?

Oh clover in a cover crop, why are you so hard to grow? Will be interesting to keep an eye on this patch to see if it impacts the following spring crop #nitrogen #covercrops #arableireland

@garrettmalt It’s certainly increased the area of cover crops anyway. Expect it will take a few years for effects to kick in

Terminal for this Water EIP cover crop now! This has been one of the more pleasant schemes to take part in and hopefully it delivered the goods all round! 🌱💦

@John_Dunne_ @Goldcrop All the fertilizer on?

The @goldcrop winter barley trials receiving their T1 fungicide along with some CCC today. No problem finding Brown Rust across the varieties, I don’t recall seeing the disease present this early before 🌾🌞🌾

Well that's that then - Tennessee Distilling completes €6 million takeover of Waterford Whisky waterford-news.ie/news/tennessee… #Terroiressee

@Bill_Linnane Hopefully they will be back as a buyer of Irish malting barley

@lpearsemoran @bartjevandeven How big a boat are we talking here?

@ArableSam @bartjevandeven How much would a boat load set you back?

A 1st of many price updates I’m guessing…..🤙🏻🤙🏻

Is sunshine Prozac? Deadly buzz about the place

@Mupper41 Just for a moment think of the logistics nightmare of a war in Greenland while the Persian Gulf is kicking off. Winter parkas shipped to Qatar. Air conditioned tents to Greenland Winterized fuel to the desert Etc

It's wilder when you think Danish SF were training with US SF a few weeks later...

@TomOHanlon17 Ironically made by Vickers (a British company)

Irish Stahlhelm 🪖

Irish 🇮🇪 army officers in the 1930s wearing their M27 helmets modelled on the German WW1 design

@TrevorFarrell12 Put on the wide tires

@ArableSam Be grand around here but this is on out blocks, can be tricky in places at the best of times on some of it. Maybe at weekend 🤞

Me wondering should I get fertiliser onto the winter crops or is ground still too soft to travel on @ArableSam
