#Solar and #RenewableEnergy on #Farms - #UMassAmherst

Excerpt: "What Works Under Solar Panels

Sheep and Poultry: #SheepGrazing is well-established at solar sites, they benefit from shade, don't damage equipment, and manage vegetation. #Poultry also do well. Larger animals require reinforced racking; goats and pigs may interfere with wiring.

#Hay and #Pasture: Shading reduces yields, but shade-tolerant species (#orchardgrass, #WhiteClover) maintain reasonable productivity.

#Vegetables: #LeafyGreens, #brassicas, and some #herbs tolerate #PartialShade. Sun-loving crops should be planted between panel rows.

Fruit: Most fruit crops need full sun. Currants and gooseberries are more tolerant. Start small to observe actual impacts." [Raspberries do well in partial sun]."

A new #introduction as I make a major life change. After 30 years as a faculty member at #UMassAmherst, I am becoming emeritus this fall. I look forward to having more time to write speculative fiction & devote to service. I'm the author of several books of science fiction & fantasy. I serve as Secretary of @SFWA, as creator of @wss366, & on the program committee of the Straw Dog Writers Guild. I also speak #Esperanto & have won awards for my poetry, stories, & essays. https://stevendbrewer.com/

I was doing my #UMass #UMassAmherst #IT setup and... what's that? #P2P doesn't invented for #piracy, and, as a CS person, I cannot just uninstall #torrent clients, #IPFS, #Blockchain and other P2P systems because they can be abused. It's like banning #AI because @[email protected]'s #Mythos exist.

All of the faculty in my department at #UMassAmherst got some of the sycophantic AI-generated phishing spam. I've been seeing this stuff for so long, I didn't think much about it. But for most of the faculty it's something new. Ugh.

The #UMassAmherst campus has delayed opening until 11am this morning, presumably due to ice accumulation overnight. Not that it would matter for me, as I work remotely and, further, it's my period of non-responsibility. I'll just have to see how non-responsible I can be this morning. #WesternMass

The Town of #Amherst on Sunday mornings is littered with trash and garbage when #UMassAmherst is in session. It's a challenge to walk a boxer dog with chicken bones scattered everywhere. Forrest would not be amused. #WesternMass

The #UMassAmherst Associate Provost for Faculty Development came to my house to bring me lunch and deliver a plaque for my Delphi Leadership Award. We had a nice chat in my tent over Indian food. I was very gratified to receive this award in recognition of my service to non-tenure-track faculty.

I always love to see the scarlet pimpernel every year. https://wandering.shop/@stevendbrewer/112575874387878794 But this year #UMassAmherst sprayed it with glyphosphate. 😢

I finally found time to visit the #UMassAmherst Orchard Hill Pavilion which was created to honor service workers. It's nice — better than I expected. https://www.umass.edu/news/article/pavilion-project-orchard-hill-area-projected-open-spring-2024 #WesternMass

After a marathon 4.25 hour meeting, the #UMassAmherst faculty voted to express no confidence in the Chancellor. He has expressed his recognition that he needs to work to rebuild trust. There's no easy path forward, but this seems like a positive start.

There has been a General Faculty Meeting only one other time in my memory during my 28-year career at #UMassAmherst which was when Jack Wilson, the President of the UMass system, fired John Lombardi, the Chancellor at UMass Amherst, and then tried to establish himself as both President AND Chancellor to advance his wackadoodle "One University" plan, that would have tried to pretend that all of the UMass campuses were just one entity, as a way to game the university rankings. He backed down.

The faculty of #UMassAmherst have called an Emergency General Faculty Meeting for Monday, May 20 to consider a vote of no confidence in the Chancellor resulting from the police action on May 7 to disperse anti-war protesters. https://www.umass.edu/senate/events/general-faculty-meeting-may-20th-2024 #WesternMass

Whew. I just remotely presided over a Special Meeting of the #UMassAmherst Faculty Senate with questions for the Chancellor and administration regarding the events of May 7. It was tense, but productive. Now I think I'll go decompress for a few minutes. 💦

#Westhampton #Massachusetts, is that near you?

A friend is somewhat desperate for a new, temporary housing situation, post-break-up, ideally for now through the next 3-4 months.

Do you know of a potential low-cost living space (roommates? Spare room? sublet?) while they get back on their feet? They're good people, employed at a community-focused non-profit org, non-smoker, and are a member of a marginalized group.

@ me for details.

The Name Game, by Sally Pirie, at #UMassAmherst: "There is so much to say about women, about names, about cis-heteronormativity, history, tradition and patriarchy, about children and bodies and personhood, lots more than I could squeeze into a little comic, but it’s a start." https://sallypirie.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/TheNameGame.pdf
