Two Minnesota #farmers 🧑🌾 are offering veterans afflicted with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) an outlet for healing their mind and bodies through #farm work. It’s been found that being outside ☀️ and working with animals 🐮 on the farm have a positive effect on those with PTSD. Having something that needs you every day – the farm and the animals – is a strong motivating factor for those suffering from PTSD.

Like many other parts of the U.S., records 📝 show that #Idaho has been losing #farmland to competing interests, especially developers. Despite the lost land, modern #farming 🚜 practices including reduced tillage, precision technology and improved water 💦 management are allowing the Idaho farm 🧑🌾 industry to produce more #food 🌽 🥕 🥦 than ever.

Cucurbit downy mildew, a #cucumber 🥒 disease that devastated once-resistant cucumber varieties, is a tricky one to tackle. The amount of fungicide sprays required for efficacy can be cost-prohibitive 💸 and the pathogen can quickly develop resistance. N.C. State 🐺 researchers devised spore traps in hopes of detecting the downy mildew pathogen 🦠 before plants 🌱 exhibit physical symptoms. When field testing the traps, researchers 🔎 encountered issues with traps getting caught on cucumber vines so they’re now piloting a spider-shaped 🕷️ robot that can effectively navigate the spore trap through the fields, much like an insect would travel the field. While still in the prototype stage, the hope is that the spore traps will improve timing ⏲️ and efficacy of fungicide sprays to keep cucumber farming 🧑🌾 sustainable for years to come.

Get your #watermelon ready – tomorrow, August 3 is National Watermelon Day! 🍉 🎉 Watermelon contains more #lycopene (a health-promoting compound) per serving than any other fresh #fruit or #vegetable. Lycopene gives watermelons and tomatoes their red 🔴 color and is credited as a powerful 💪 antioxidant that may help reduce the risk of certain age-related diseases. 🍉 👏 🍉

There are designer purses 👛, clothes 👖, shoes 👠… and now #designerfruit has been gracing produce departments across the country. Designer fruits 🍊 are bred to be sweet and delicious, and they require more intensive care to grow. For example, Sumo Citrus Fruit, a designer mandarin, is treated with sunscreen in the fields, handpicked and transported 🚚 to the packaging house in an air ride trailer to ensure the ride is not too bumpy.

Peach 🍑 season is here and thanks to N.C. State’s 🐺 now-retired #peach breeder, there are varieties available specifically suited to North Carolina’s climate. Chilling hours, the number of total hours that a fruit tree must spend in temperatures below 40 degrees 🥶 during the dormant (winter) season, are a key factor in determining where certain peaches can grow. North Carolina peaches require approximately 1,000 or more chilling hours which is on the higher ⬆️ end of chilling requirements compared to South Carolina peaches that require 850 hours or less.

🎶 “Shoo fly, don’t bother me…” 🎶 says the age-old tune. Cows 🐮 don’t have the luxury of “shooing” flies 🪰 and one cow can house up to 1,000 flies in a day. Just 200 flies can cause about 0.4 pint of blood lost each day. Beyond that, flies can spread a blood-transmitted disease called anaplasmosis which can cause severe anemia in cattle.
Flies do more than annoy
