@WiscWeeds You need to know about the blacks for linen revival. I honestly do want to run cotton, there is a young farmer in Illinois who's had some sustained results.

@MattHintz3 And also does not mean that my practical upbringing should exclude others from wanting the same extreme practical foundations. Yes it is lofty; I argue is more sustainable than rampant, blind consumption. I hope the urbanite can discern between the two.

@MattHintz3 I've been thinking about this a lot. We don't need to "ground truth" art. It is okay to be whimsical, it is okay to be forlorn. I can bust balls with the greatest curmudgeons, I can be exceptionally practical and frugal. This does not exclude me from wanting simplicity.

@JoeatDawn Suppose even 1/10 of the prediction about AI comes true, I think the only way we recover from that is heading back into manufacturing.

I love the smell of diesel fuel in the morning. It smells like victory. Someday this project is going to end.

@MattHintz3 We eat need either Draconian punishments or gofundme links for the asparagus pickers.

@JasonHanson2028 Would it really kill everyone to plant some God damn trees?

@BenRiensche I'm willing to guess I have ripped out more trees than most average farmers, but I've also planted more. It's active management, and you have to prune the roots.

@BenRiensche Old Experimentation primarily on evapotranspiration. As with anything these are difficult to do randomized, prospective. Regarding the original article, there's no chance I believe the claim regarding integrated agroforestry. I do believe trees can make more money than annuals

@BenRiensche If your yields are water restricted, the infield areas have reduced evapotranspiration allowing for yield gains. There is also measurable effects on reduced wind erosion. Yield penalty by the tree, yield gain infield.

@BenRiensche The rest of the field. Transvaporation effects on the leeward side (typically quoted as 10x the treeline height). There is no free lunch, though. You need to deep rip by the trees to keep the roots pruned.
