The Farm System Reform Act was introduced by Democrat Representative Ro Khanna in the House and Democratic Senator Cory Booker in the Senate.

Vice President of Government Affairs at the National Cattleman’s Beef Association Ethan Lane has been vocal about his opposition to the Farm System Reform Act... The Act would prohibit the construction of new large feedlots, the expansion of those currently operating, would require all large feedlots to cease operating by 2040, but also it establishes a voluntary debt forgiveness program that provides feedlot owners with grants to pay off their debts & transition to raising pasture-based beef...

Hebe or veronica is a shrub with an extraordinary inflorescence, which due to its ease of care is an excellent candidate for low-maintenance gardens. Its ornamental appeal lies not only in its curious flowers, but also in its leaves, which can be green or variegated. The origin of this precious shrub is New Zealand, it is evergreen and can reach 50 cm in height and the same width dimension. It is a good plant to be used as a path delimiter, to form small fences or to have in a pot decorating the balcony or patio. Let's see below what are the most important care you should have to keep your veronica bushes strong and beautiful...

Sacrifice patches coupled with hunting permits could be a promising way to attract nuisance deer to an easy to dispatch location on a farm, similar to how hunters plant plots of crops for deer or use feeders to keep their interest in a particular spot strong...

If someone asked you, “How do plants take up the water and nutrients they need?” you’d probably tell them through the roots. But did you know that for many crops, those roots aren’t working alone?That’s because most plant species associate with mycorrhizal fungi. What is mycorrhizal fungi? University of Alberta biological scientist JC Cahill says that mycorrhizas are actually the interaction between a fungus and a plant. Although there are many different types of mycorrhizae, the only one crop farmers need to be concerned about is arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), as 65% of plant species associate with it... He adds that it also helps ensure there will be something available to feed the mycorrhizae...

In Gaston, Ind. , Jason Mauck is farming a little differently from his neighbors. Unlike the typical corn-and-soybean monocropping system, for the last 5 years Mauck has been doing low population, wide-row relay intercropping. So far he has seen success with soybeans into wheat, but he’s also working on corn intercropped with a legume... “I know the big companies say ‘feed the world,’ but eventually we only get so much water, so much sunlight and so many nutrients...
