Regenerative Agriculture in it's truest application isn't industrial extractive, controllable by scale, patentable, input products driven. Thus doesn't fit into the present investment economic system. Why the present agriculture system fights so hard against it.

"This year I will not buy one calf and take any more risk. I will try to see how much beef I can sell off the ranch directly to consumers and adjust how many cows we keep around. It is not our job as producers to take piles of risk to “grow the herd” when the government or cartel can vaporize it all in a news flash."

AI has some super abilities but that's different from the misleading claims it has super intelligence. By design, it lacks crucial abilities of a human brain.
AI like humans forgets. It often has the best up to date answer but is buried in the status quo volume of past best answers.
How can Super Intelligence be at the cutting edge of knowledge when it's foundationally driven by volume and noise with answering?
Merely sustaining control by status quo. Suppresses paradigm shifts.
Super Intelligence would be able to do missing evidence analysis to be sure it's giving the best most up to date answer. Instead volume and noise steers its answers requiring the user to fundamentally know more and bring attention to what it missed yet had access to.

As we get into harvest it is time to get cover crops planted. Call us for recommendations or availability! We have Gainer 154 Triticale and Elbon Cereal Rye available for early spring forage as well!
The rest of the story they don't tell you.
“… local producers have virtually no possibility of feeding our troops, schools, rest homes, hospitals, food pantries, or any government related entity.”

📢Important thread read for the future of honey bee health. 🍯 🐝
The EPA just approved RNAi-based pesticides for use in bee hives. They silence gene function of pests. But they also could silence genes in honey bees. And risk assessments would struggle to detect the effects. peerj.com/articles/4131/ Silencing human genes?
Fixing the food system starting with the soil biome is where health starts. And where AI is still inadequate. The medical system/AI has no chance in solving human health without that first step.
Will AI cure all diseases in 5–10 years? Denis Noble from Oxford University has doubts. When the human genome was sequenced, many expected cures to come. Didn’t happen. Noble says linking genes to diseases shows association, not causation. To establish causation, and ultimately to find cures, we need to study mechanical and chemical processes within cells and the body. AI can be very helpful to humans. But will it give us all the answers? Noble is not convinced.
While AI can beat the best Chess players, it's far behind the best Regenerative farmers.

“It’s not a food system; it’s an agribusiness financial complex.”
“If we want to transform the food system, we need to recognise that finance is at the heart of it.”
Powerful words from Jeff Conant on the financial interests behind Big Food & Big Ag.

The first flagship paper from the 1000 Farms Initiative was just published.
It changes....what most people think they know about farming.

@Croptix is coming for corn!
@Croptix stole the show at 2 field days last month—hosted by BASS Hybrids and Tailgate Nutrition—where Croptix CEO Perry Edwards gave the first-ever live demos of the sensor on corn.
Croptix will be available for corn, soy, and apples next year, and we've heard lots of interest from growers (AEA is a strategic partner of Croptix).
Having real-time plant nutrition data to be able to make same-day nutrient applications is a game-changer.
🌽 If you grow Corn, Soybeans, or Apples and want to use @Croptix next season, sign up here: loom.ly/IhQhvjo
