As the disconnect between urban and rural lives widens, so does the chasm in our understanding of where our food and fibre originate 🌾🌱🥩 The crux of the problem is multifaceted: an aging agricultural workforce, a burgeoning urban population, and an onslaught of misinformation about farming practices – and these issues underline the urgent need for programs to engage students and teachers with the agriculture industry.

Here's what you can expect in this week's issue of The Scottish Farmer

Precision application of fertilizers and chemicals is so important right now. The margin of error for farmers in the U.S. is basically zero to keep yields profitable! Fertigation and chemigation applications require constant adjustment to seeds of different crops, soil types, pivot speed and/or position, corner swing arms, and seeding rates. So it's crucial that you achieve accurate application by using a system that can automatically adjust to these changing conditions. Listen to Gary and Kyle Kroenke talk about how they use Agri-Inject equipment on their corners to ensure precise, uniform application. #agriinject #fertigation #chemigation #cornplantingseason #usfamers #irrigation #soybeanfarm #fertigationpump #agtech #agriculture #farmlife #aglife https://lnkd.in/gbpXayw5

Story By: David Moto The County Government of Taita Taveta in partnership with Micro Enterprise Support Program has hinted on plans to export 700MT of organic bananas to Denmark, a deal that makes Taita Taveta county the first in the country to export the organic produce. According to Micro Enterprises Support Programme Trust (MESPT), the joint project has identified 500 small holder farmers for the organic banana farming, with an aim of improving the market for produce hence reducing poverty levels in the county while promoting environmental conservation. Through MESPT, a total of 126,000 organic tissue culture banana seedlings will be planted in the county, out of which 30,000 seedlings have already been issued to targeted farmers. MESPT Danida Green Business Partnerships / Danida Market Development Partnerships Programme Manager Kuria Kung'u said, “𝑨𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕 500 𝒇𝒂𝒓𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒅𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒄 𝒃𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝒇𝒂𝒓𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒈, 𝒘𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒔𝒐 𝒔𝒖𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 1,500 𝒇𝒂𝒓𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒅𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝒃𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝒇𝒂𝒓𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏 𝑻𝒂𝒊𝒕𝒂 𝑻𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒕𝒂 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒚 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒘𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒖𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 600,000 𝒕𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒖𝒆 𝒄𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒃𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝒔𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔.
