We planted a test plot with 14 varieties. Most of which were from @PSI1985 Plant Sciences. Hopefully something works in Ohio’s Climate

The story of the spring of 26. We get one day to a week’s worth of work, then it rains.

My least favorite question people ask me in the spring - “Are the strawberries planted yet?” I then have to try and politely explain that they were planted the previous year (how the fuck don’t you know this?) without being condescending (which is tough for me)

America's farmers are hurting—they need every bit of help Congress can deliver. Republican leadership had a chance to authorize year round E15—a commonsense blend of ethanol and gasoline—but they all walked away. What America makes and grows, makes and grows America. Time to shake a leg Mr. Speaker.

As a candidate for President, I pledged to support our ethanol industry and to fight for the American farmer like no President has ever fought before. - Donald Trump, June 11, 2019
In multiple interviews, stakeholders told me that the White House did not exert any political pressure on lawmakers to pass year-round E15. If WH did, the bill would've likely passed.
