To better understand the blockchain, and its potential impact on the agricultural industry, I sat down with Edwin Luk (Twitter: @EdwinLuk8175), a partner at Sysconverge and advisor to the Blockchain Advisory Council... Unlike the Internet, blockchain technology does not allow for participants to hide in obscurity, but actually brings greater transparency to each transaction... 21st Century Farmers Increase Revenues with Smart(er) ContractsUp until now, as Edwin explained, globalization has allowed massive corporations to leverage their economies of scale and “push the small and medium-scale producers and processors” out of local markets, both in the US and abroad... The resulting pressure from major food and agricultural corporations on small and medium-scale producers has led to a decrease from roughly 6 million family farms in 1935 to only 2 million surviving by 2012... The blockchain “provides them with better market accessibility, faster remittance from customers, and less susceptibility to fraud and corruption from middlemen that handle their product in the different steps in the supply chain,” said Edwin...

Jason made sure to offer the following caveat: “This advice certainly depends on what kind of operation, what scale, and perhaps what region of the country a beginning farmer might find themselves in... ”Joel has mentored scores of interns at Polyface Farms, and has found that “young people want what their mentor or other masters have acquired over a lifetime.

Every successful growing season begins (and often ends) with crop scouting... Use Mobile Innovation To Optimize Higher Yields And Higher RevenuesFor previous generations of farmers, scouting was a long, arduous, and sometimes highly inaccurate process... Modern growers no longer have to rely on manual tracking methods (as well as manual tracking mistakes) to manage scouting needs; there are several innovative, intuitive, and, most importantly, effective mobile apps designed specifically to streamline essential scouting responsibilities and outcomes... Benefits Of Using Mobile Scouting TechnologyUtilizing mobile scouting technology with your harvest can provide an impressive and diverse range of benefits to your entire operation. Whether you’re a farm manager or a consultant, the right crop scouting apps make a huge difference to a successful growing season...

At the center of the film are the farmers, young and old, who provide the spirit and energy to bring urban and rural America together over what both share in common: our food... After the film on Saturday evening, Meriwether will be present to facilitate a conversation with a panel of local farmers of all backgrounds- from small-scale niche production to large-scale commodity farmers...

Our program returns epigenetic memory to plants, enhances the ability to capture by the plants high-energy photons (significantly increases the photosynthetic efficiency), contributes to the growth rate of chemical processes in the cell at the nanoscale level, that in application plan increases the regeneration of oxygen (О2) and fresh water (Н2О) by plants and disposal of CO2, leads to the reduction of greenhouse effect, significantly increasing crop yields, restores humus and biota in the soil, promotes improvement and remediation of lands...

In the past few years, we have made a concerted effort to increase the usage of cover crops and other conservation practices on our farm. I have learned a lot of lessons from this experience but one stands out above the rest... How often do our soils approach the critical temperature state during the hot summer months in SC? The presence of a thick stand of cover crops can help ensure that soil moisture isn’t the limiting factor to your field crops... Cover crops help row crops access additional nutrients in the soil profile through four different biological processes: 1) The breakdown of carbon from decaying cover crop residue, 2) Roots from the cover crops produce “exudate acids” which convert minerals in the soil into plant available nutrients 3) The cover crops act as a host plant for arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, which are microbes that have a direct effect on plant health and nutrient storage capacity of the soil within the root zone of the plant and 4) By producing additional Nitrogen with leguminous cover crops... The best case scenario is to balance out your blend amongst each species but if costs are prohibitive it’s better to increase the rate of small grains than to just use a lower overall rate...

It's a fact: cover crops tend to make good farmers into great farmers and average farmers into bad farmers. Cover crops work. But, management is key and the learning curve can be steep... Here in SC, we begin seeding ours behind corn in the middle of August and will plant them up until the end of November... They also take longer to decompose, thus tying up scavenged nitrogen that we’d rather have available to our cash crops...

This Week in AgricultureA Mixed Bag of Information from the Week that Was: September 21, 2018· An interesting week of trade as it appears most of the bearishness that came from last week’s USDA updated supply and demand numbers has moved to the sidelines. Potential changes to Chinese trade policy across the board, ideas of soybean arbitrage on a global scale and talk of inflationary pressure were seen as mostly price supportive, or at the very least the desire to move to new lows has dissipated for now... However this week we have seen what could only be described as a softer, gentler China when it comes to trade policy... Some view this as a move to pre-emptively change how they do business before any discussions over a status change with the WTO even have to take place... · Next week we will continue to monitor trade discussions across the board as improved weather and cooler temps should allow harvest progress to advance in areas not flooded by extremely heavy rains seen in some locations this past week...
