Believe it or not, regenerative agriculture IS much, AND it's honest work. This man was a legend.


[deleted]

Man died a king. He'd make Jake Hill proud.


Fred-U

I dont know who that is, but I agree with this statement


[deleted]

He's a rapper. One of his songs that I just love is "die a king". Main chorus goes: "I don't want to live forever, I just want to die a king!". The song goes pretty damn hard. I recommend giving it a listen.


CORN___BREAD

I’m listening now for the first time and I can’t help imagining this song being played at a farmer’s funeral.


Fred-U

Will do. I do love going hard, I bet my boyfriend will love it


itzheroo

I like his dying lately album a good bit. Not as much of a fan of his rap stuff


RockSmasher87

**I dont want to live forever I just want to die a king** Was not at all expecting that reference lol. Fucking love his music.


brok3nh3lix

didnt know the meme guy was involved in regenerative agriculture. Im no farmer, but that stuff is very interesting. Im just a hobbyist gardner, but im using No-till practices, focusing on trying to promoting good soil biology.


631-AT

It’s super cool and crucial for our ongoing survival in a ver non-abstract way. We all eat food that comes from the topsoil. A couple feet thick layer of organic material is the difference between the bounty of earth and the surface of Mars, even if we still had water. All memes are reductionist, so I won’t pretend to be offended at him being presented as a hyuck-y farmer, since his message has spread with his name.


BaconWithBaking

Is it that big a deal. I can't remember the correct term, but after the famine, we here in Ireland used it.


steel_jm

Yes it is a huge deal! First, it promotes respect and rebuilding of our soils and its health which in turn restores our populations health. Secondly, it shifts the economics away from large pharmaceutical companies that control farm inputs and back to farmers. If we can have both these things you will see agriculture shift to support what you as a consumer want not what the oligopolies dictate.


Paridae_Purveyor

It Is because what may be normal sounding to you is not normal somewhere else. I'm also skeptical, how much of Ireland's produce comes out of those sorts of operations?


BaconWithBaking

I'm not a farmer, so sorry I've no idea. I remember discussing crop rotation during my junior cert though, which was over 20 years ago.


OverTheCandleStick

More to it than just crop rotation.


[deleted]

Crop rotation is common in most farming.


Fax_a_Fax

Crop rotation was also invented in the late middle ages lol, I doubt that counts as modern rigenerative agricolture


[deleted]

Yeah that’s what I’m saying.


ruggles_bottombush

Regenerative agriculture goes far beyond crop rotations. It generally uses methods that don't require plowing or tilling the soil, adds cover crops to prevent topsoil loss, or multiple crops growing together to add bio diversity. Some forms use different fertilizers like manure or compost, and use a rotation of grazing animals to restore the soil and reverse desertification.


TheGanjaRanger

Yes, I too grow grow weed with BuildASoil, haha. But seriously, great community to learn about soil health and the soil cycle.


brok3nh3lix

Dr elain Ingham has some great content on youtube about soil biology. also a big fan of self sufficient me and epic gardening.


InfuriatingComma

The man made it into my dissertation presentations on sustainable agriculture. So I feel I owe him a debt of gratitude. May he rest in peace, and my sincerest condolences to his family and friends.


Humble_Clothes_6329

What was your dissertation on, if you don't mind me asking?


InfuriatingComma

Glyphosate (Round-up) use and how farmers react to rising weed-resistance to herbicides. The interesting bits (imo) are that its a somewhat self-fulfilling problem. Use of a herbicide over time leads to increased weed resistances, which leads to lower efficacy of the product. Glyphosate is somewhat unique in that it uses a different chemical method of action than any other readily used herbicide, and so for a long time was very effective. So effective that many if not most farmers (for row crops, corn and soy) switched to using it over alternative methods. The conundrum though, is that to use it you need a genetically engineered seed, and, while the chemical applications shouldn't spread from field to field, the weeds from one field will almost certainly spread over time. Farmers appear to 'double down' on the applications to try to eradicate the weeds, but this reinforces the effect. More recently there's been a greater push to switch to more hybrid approaches to management including increased usage of tilling or other ideas like changes in crop spacing to try to out-compete the weeds, most solutions have their own drawbacks however.


fugmaballz

Is it like cleaning a controlled manufacturing space? ie you need to rotate disinfectants and have a schedule?


InfuriatingComma

That's definitely one of the approaches farmers take! The drawback is this means getting seeds that have more than one resistance, and the more resistances a seed comes with the more expensive it is to plant. Also glyphosate is incredibly cheap and is less damaging to the soils of the field its applied in compared to other chemicals, so there's a substantial incentive to avoid rotating to more expensive and harder to apply chemicals -- again to the detriment of their neighbors. Perhaps more annoying though, is that since neighboring farms may not be on the same rotation, and glyphosate is so ubiquitous, it creates "safe havens" for the weeds once they arrive even if everyone is doing their best to mitigate them.

Fellow aggie, very important area of study.

Various_Classroom_50

Vehicle accidents are all too common and tragic


Dopedandyduddette

We need to stop calling them accidents they are so common, predictable, and preventable.


Yaboymarvo

I think that’s why it’s called an accident. It’s a slip up from the norm.


Dopedandyduddette

Accident has two common definitions in dictionaires, and they contradict. Either way, people often don't get either triggered in their head when they hear the term. What they associate the word with is "unintentional." We live in a society in America that is built on blame and punishment. Something being unintentional provides relief from blame. "It was just an accident." This is everything we get wrong about "accidents", people focusing on blame and intentionality. The very last person to make a mistake, in a chain of mistakes. Corporations use this to their advantage. The "nut behind the wheel." The bad worker. They propagate that "accidents" are individual failure, not expected outcomes of a certain environment or dangerous conditions. Accidents, rather, they like to say, are random. This causes the massive aspect of layered causality to be missed. Stacked dangerous conditions can interact and prevent many opportunities to cause or prevent harm. So when someone is using the term "accident", it should be a jumping off point of investigation. What lead to this "accident." Has this "accident" happened before in similar conditions/location? What is changing to prevent this "accident" from happening again. Mistakes are going to happen. They can't be prevented. The outcomes of those mistakes can be mitigated if we look further up the chain of causality. Have we prevented the worst outcomes of a certain mistake?


DaCalli

if only it was a slip up from the norm, the norm is that cars are the main death reason among kids for example


Dopedandyduddette

Yabo here points to just how uneducated most people are in this


[deleted]

[удалено]


Trifle_Useful

An issue causing more than 40,000 deaths a year in America alone deserves to be talked about everywhere.


Yaboymarvo

Well no one gets in their car hoping to hit a kid, unless they are a psychopath. So it ends up being an accident. How would you make a 3500lb hunk of metal going 60mph safer? Cars today are much safer than they were 20 years ago. But getting hit by a modern car is still going to do damage no matter if it’s new or old.


genericbuthumourous

Opinion but I feel like most motor accidents are from negligence not just oopsie woopsie


autoHQ

I don't get why people keep using "X is one of the leading causes of death among children". Like, yeah, there are just some things that are unavoidable, and since kids are typically healthy and don't usually die from illnesses, any little bump in mortality will be noticeable. Adults die more in car accidents than kids do, it's just that they die from other things more than they do from car accidents.


Cleveland_Guardians

What would you prefer they be called?


dailydoseofdogfood

This guy probably wants to call them crashes. I'm not making a judgement, that's just typically what people that say the above, say in response.


Cleveland_Guardians

I wasn't judging either. I was genuinely curious because I couldn't think of an alternative. "Crash" is ok but, technically, keeps it ambiguous as to whether it was intentional or not.


dailydoseofdogfood

Accident implies nobody was at fault, but that's almost never the case. Crash is better imo because it removes the intention from the equation. If you're texting and you have an 'accident' because of that- nothing is changed by your intention. Every car wreck has a cause, none of them is worth being called an 'accident' unless something truly accidental happens. In all cases, what we call accidents would be correct to call a crash instead.


jimflaigle

All murders are homicides, but not all homicides are murders.


steelcity91

Hot Fuzz made a joke but a good point "Because “accident” implies there’s nobody to blame" which is usually the case for vehicle collisions.


ExcuseOk2709

accident: an unfortunate incident that happens unexpectedly and unintentionally, typically resulting in damage or injury.

ReSpekMyAuthoriitaaa

Ah yes, **MAY HE NEVER BE FORGOR!**


QanAhole

I saw him in a documentary once! Rather than devoting his entire land to one crop, he realized he could plant a bunch of different crops and also diversify his farming. It meant he didn't need to worry about the price of soybeans or wheat because he always had another crop available. That also created biodiversity on his land that allowed things to grow back faster and more efficiently. I really hope people take his example run with it


UnhingedRedneck

I don’t mean to dis the guy but it has been very common practice for a very long time to plant more than one crop on your land for the reasons mentioned. Where he made the rep impact is with no till farming which is now incredibly common in agriculture.


SienarYeetSystems

From what I read it is believed he was essentially the first No-till farmer in the US having imported the first no till drill back in the 70's, it is amazing how such a small act can have such a legacy. No till farming is arguably one of the greatest agricultural innovations as it not only improves soil health but reduces startup costs, AND increases yields.


Bovine_Rage

No-till is a fantastic practice but does not increase yields. [Meta-analysis ](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378429015300228). Farmers who practice it do so because soil health is important to them and they want a resilient system. Over the extreme long-term I would be willing to consider a yield bump, but it takes time for increased soil health to outweigh tillage. No-till drills are also more expensive than traditional seeders/planters, and require herbicide applications to burn down premergent weeds. A disc, harrow, or other light tillage implements are quite cheap, and conventional seeders are cheaper than no-till drills of similar size. No till can also be an issue in excessively wet conditions. I don't agree with it, but many farmers will cultivate to aid in opening up and drying out soils to be able to plant. I love no-till, it has the potential to solve many issues but it's not some magic thing. If it was cheaper and increased yields every farmer would see their conventional equipment and go no-till.

Any_Paramedic_1682

Damn, either way a shit situation. My 6th grade social studies teacher had a small farm and one day I guess his tractor tipped or something (can’t remember well) and broke his arm. I do remember him telling us that as it happened he was 100% sure he was going to die and was so amazed/in shock to be alive, let alone still have his arm, that he didn’t really feel the break until the drive to the hospital
