In the early days of the microscope Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, first described bacteria, those "animalcules" (tiny animals) in 1676.
Interesting now with the recent discovery of rhizophagy cycling, plants essentially ranching bacteria.
Winter and Holidays season.
Consider a longtime friend of mine.

Birthday wishes to Allan Savory 9/15/1935
Founder of Holistic Management grazing.
Brought a more holistic view of earlier rotational grazing work of those like Andre Voisin and others.
As Darwin did for Evolution Hans Jenny did for Living Soil Formation.
"A pedologist's concept of soil is not that of a mere mass of inorganic and organic material, rather it takes cognizance of a certain element of organization that persistently presents itself in every soil"1941
Here is a just released season results summery from the cherry producer. Management details, changes and observations all the way to packing.
Give it an honest listen. Farmers are in challenging times, need to work together to not only survive but thrive.

For the COP31 Climate Summit this year in Turkey it appears the past global ag. industry approach "Climate Smart Ag" has failed.
While farmer driven Regenerative Ag Is rapidly gaining popularity worldwide.
Now being co-opted by COP31 without its founding farmers or scientists.
Did a deep query utilizing AI abilities
Tested with both Grok and Claude
Could it find the term "rhizophagy cycling" anywhere in UN FAO materials.
Came up 0 with both.
So behind, it's 10+yo breakthrough fundamental plant science.
Been highly utilized in advancing RegenerativeAg
Dr. Jonathan Lundgren, speaks at Groundswells, UK
Top entomologist/risk assessment scientist at USDA until he left and joined the farmer driven Regenerative Ag movement 10 yrs ago
Recently the largest farm biodiversity study ever attempted
Inspiring watch!

WW2 and canned mutton fed to troops was a reminder of war to our soldiers. That changed our focus from lamb to beef in US.
While lamb overall is more nutrious do to their grazing habits.
Plus lambs mature during the grazing season.
Polyester shortcomings vs wool benefits too.
Why do the major butter brands now use Added Flavorings in manufacturing their butter?
Flavor depends on what the 🐮gets to eat. Limited in nutrient spectrum junk feed diets, bland results.
You are what your food ate
Choose truly Regenerative diverse grazing for max flavor/health
Sociatal pattern recognition failure, the understanding that enables state narrative control. AI mimics this, an example, AI gives the state narrative on WHCD a 90+ odds it's true. But with pushing it to do deeper missing evidence analysis it comes up with the below.
Eggs explained.
A good explanation of the realities of egg production. What is quality and what is just marketing and perception.

Don't just check your crop plants for brix level. Check the plants/weeds nature is using in the field. The ones that are high or low brix are telling you important information.
Because trad. org. or syn. only focused on chem. and physics.
Regen. added a strong focus on the microbiology that now for the first time in history can be deeply studied. While also adding new understandings of soil biological chem and physics. Different principles and practices
Yes but Borlaug also later recognized the shortcomings of his early work. Topsoil loss, dead soils, pest resistance, input costs. As he became aware of pioneer soil health farmers of RegenerativeAg movement such as Dave Brandt, soil health, no-till, covers. The rest of the story
The passing of Dr. Elaine Ingham 2/18/2026.
A pioneer of soil microbiolgy and soil health. Taught many farmers/gardeners the use of a microscope to explore the life in the soil. Created the Soil Primer booklet distributed by USDA. Inspired many in the early days of RegenerativeAg
The little gold box from the 60s-70s.
Best tasting cereal without being sweet.
Just didn't fit in with the big brands increasingly ultra-processed, high sugar, high profit and gimmick cereals that now dominate the cereal aisle.

Regenerative Agriculture
Breed: Corriedale ewe lambswool
Ray Epp grew up on a family farm in Nebraska US. Then began farming in Japan and introducing Regenerative Agriculture to farmers in Japan.
Keith Berns of @GreenCoverSeed talks with Ray about his Regenerative Ag. work in Japan.
Link to the podcast in the comments.
Better late than never!
📢USDA announces Regenerative Ag. initiative.
Education has been farmer to farmer.
Now the need to bring USDA/NRCS up to speed on the newest farmer driven science, practices, tech and fitting into overall food system.
