Protecting Crops from Heat Stress: 5 Pro Strategies

Careful timing ensures crops can handle a little heat. But recently, sudden heat waves and long-lasting ones in already warm regions have become more common, with predictions saying there’s more to come. For some crops, these shifts cross the line between stress and a fraction of normal yields. This is why adapting to the climate and employing heat protection strategies is crucial for farmers today. In most cases, all this takes is a little adj…Read Article

Integrated Pest Management on the Farm: An Overview

The industrial standard in agriculture involves heavy use of herbicides and pesticides to meet the bottom line of production. However, over time, it is increasingly apparent that these are not the best modes of control, due to their negative effects on plant nutrition, animals, humans, and the local environment. But this doesn’t mean we should abandon pesticides altogether. Instead, we should take an approach that includes all other methods of …Read Article

9 Indispensable Tools for the Small-Scale Farmer

Small farms have a pretty big advantage. They don’t need to ascribe to industrial means of growing. That means less tilling and fewer pesticides. The ability to have a regenerative operation is much easier without agricultural pressures, and the list of required tools is shorter. While giant tractor extensions aren’t really needed on a small farm, it’s good to know which small-scale farm tools increase production and make farming even a little m…United States · United States Read Article

Reduce Soil Erosion and Water Waste with Contour Planting

Contour planting involves tilling, discing, and otherwise preparing the land in line with its natural slope, then planting crops on this same line. When you look at a topographic map, the rows and/or strips of crops will be parallel to the contour lines. This practice isn’t more difficult than other types of planting, but it helps conserve valuable resources and protect the surrounding environment. History Slopes play nice when rows follow thei…Minnesota · Minnesota Read Article

Silvopasture: Why We Need Trees on Grazing Land

In a world facing climate shifts and higher costs, savvy farmers are rediscovering a long-standing practice. Silvopasture – the intentional integration of trees, forage, and livestock – offers a practical solution in semi-forested areas. Unlike conventional pasture systems that rely solely on grasses and other forage plants, silvopasture creates a three-pronged system that includes trees and tree products. Farmers who adopt silvopasture boost p…Canada · Canada Read Article

3 Ways to Create Value from Agricultural Waste

When we think about agriculture, we often focus on the end product: cotton for a t-shirt, hay destined to feed animals through the winter, or hamburgers for our summer barbecues. However, after we harvest the desired product, we’re left with agricultural waste like manure and plant debris. Producers often see this waste as an unwanted burden to deal with. Do we bury it? Burn it? Send it to a different facility to handle? Rather than spending tim…Agriculture · United States Read Article

In America, there are two famous vampires named Brian Johnson. Well, sort of. The first, who admittedly spells it “Bryan”, is the preternaturally ageless tech entrepreneur who charts his erections and uses infusions of his teenage son’s blood plasma in pursuit of eternal youth — and has ended up looking somewhere freakishly in between 38 and 80.

7 Perennial Crops to Plant in May

Annual crops, such as tomatoes, corn, and lettuce, cover a significant portion of our plates and farmland acres. However, the constant work of planting and harvesting can be time-consuming and tiring. Perennials allow you to plant once and enjoy multiple harvests in the following years. Although these plants often take multiple years to start producing their edible components and cost more upfront than annuals, they fill gaps in the ecosystem, …United States · United States Read Article

This Dreaded Agricultural Pest is Back: How Farmers Are Fighting It

The European corn borer is one of the most prevalent pests across the world. It feeds on multiple species of plants, with corn being the most prominent. Today, this pest is making its way back into larger numbers in North America, and farmers are working hard to adapt control strategies.
