  1. That is also nothing new - public money via USDA & land grant universities has been going into the aims of corporations and big growers for a while. There is some work to help smaller growers & home gardeners, but it's less and happening at fewer places.

    Because I love tree fruit, of course I find it sad those trees are being grubbed up. And those are just the processing peaches. The fresh eating peach growing acreage in CA had already reduced for market reasons.

  6. "100s of acres of bulldozed trees, 70 cancelled contracts and an estimated $550M lost later, some former Del Monte peach growers are betting on almond trees as their next move...

    The almond trees are a newer self-pollinating (USDA) variety called Yorizane, which require less labor and costs. While industry uncertainty still looms large, the growers hope these benefits, on top of a more stable almond market, will lead to returns."

  11. Seeing all the yellow lawns in the UK via vloggers right now, it gets across to me that now would be a perfect time to sheet mulch them or solarize them and do some soil building, but people would probably complained about how it looked (as if dead turf grass is much better...)

  16. How greed is turning Spain into a desert

    It's good that DW points out early that this is not just a thing in Spain. It's happening in many places.

    The profits go to rich growers, the costs offshored and borne by poorly paid immigrant workers, the environment, and the general public.

    Eat the rich, not out-of-season produce.

  21. Nepenthes progressions 2021-2026

    Nepenthes are carnivorous plants under the order of Caryophyllales, making them loosely related to cacti and carnations, but also the other common carnivorous plants like Venus fly traps and sundews. There are many other plants that have learned to eat insects that aren't related though. When this happens, we call the process convergent evolution. Two different species, with the same selective pressures, ended up evolving similar systems to overcome those pressures. Think of bats and birds […]

  22. This is a very long shot (and has nothing to do with history & co :sadness: ), but does anyone know of a database/book/compehensive list, or someone who might know one, about crop responses to deficit irrigation?

    Also: accessible without academic affiliation.
