Who tells the farmer?
Effective Immediately, all organizations using PHP for their systems are advised to be prepared for an update addressing two critical vulnerabilities. PHP is widely used for web applications. These vulnerabilities often provide a direct path to the server's file system or database. If an immediate update is not feasible, it is recommend that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. NSA will follow up shortly with more specific guidance.
A farm is infrastructure, as important as data centers, bridges, and roads.

We’re looking for farmers.
@Area2Farms is building a farm within 10 miles of most Americans—soil-grown, farmer-owned, direct to neighbors. Backed by 776. Interested? Start here: beafarmer.com

Every neighborhood has a gym, a coffee shop, and a pharmacy. I think it needs a farm, and a farmer.
If that's you, or someone you know, lmk.
The Farm Stand app greets neighbors when they walk into an Area 2 Farms location.

Where do you get your greens from?
Food costs are projected to increase 5% in the first half of 2027 because of distance.
- Fertilizer chokepoints.
- 14 extra days at sea.
- Reduced overseas production
Ask it at the grocery store. Ask it at dinner. Ask whoever is selling you a salad.

Building this family farm helped me realize how crazy it is for average Americans to afford fresh fruits + vegetables — why I funded @Area2Farms
What does the head farmer do every day?
Seeding schedule with the team.
Crop review at open.
Supporting a new customer down the street.
A school tour in the afternoon.

There are worthy debates as to what the best use for acres of Class A soil are.
Just a few years ago, the Fletcher family farm was traditional agricultural land before the county worked behind the scenes to buy out the family and surrounding smallholders to assemble the massive 600-acre mega-parcel that is now a data center.
Progress comes at a cost, and there are things, good things, that get left in the dust.

In the middle of Arlington, one farmer is trying to change the future of farming. Oren Falkowitz is working to bring indoor farming to big cities across the country. nbc4dc.com/u0xl2JG
Farming Sprouts in Arlington — @Area2Farms founder @orenfalkowitz , a former @NSAGov hacker, grows leafy greens and sells weekly produce boxes by membership.
“A core of our logistics is to move the farm and not move the food,” he said to @nbcwashington

“Our hope is to build these farms all over, so that everybody has a farm in their community and gets to know their neighbor by name,”

Ian toured @Area2Farms, went home, and rebuilt it in LEGO. Every neighborhood deserves a farm worth building twice.
Every generation builds the infrastructure that defines it. Railroads reshaped the 19th century. Highways and suburbs reshaped the 20th. Data centers are reshaping this one.
We are building farms as the 21st century infrastructure that is more durable, and beneficial to the future of our cities and the people who live in them.
Come build farm infrastructure with us. Buy land and never sell it.

It used to be that farmer who grew crops, shipped them to someone else who owned the brand, who shipped them to someone else owned the shelf space, who sold them to someone else owned the customer.
That changed when you move the farm, not the food.
We can now build a direct relationship with neighbors. It's not marketing, it's distribution, trust, and loyalty.
It's NOT just about farming. It's about being connected to your community through food. Prepare to learn how we're cultivating both crops and community, one surprisingly complex root vegetable at a time.
