Mung beans are known for being an easily digestible and nutritious legume but they also make for a great cover crop! Excellent drought and heat tolerance make this nitrogen fixer ideal for summer plantings in low rainfall and extreme environments. When comparing price per pound to cowpeas, mung beans will cost more but their small seed size means you get many more seeds per pound. This plant is quick to grow and is a big biomass producer, making it ideal for weed suppression and high palatability makes it a great addition to any summer grazing mix. Plant mung beans with at least 60 days before frost to get the best bang for your buck! https://zurl.co/KJRl

Frosty Berseem, the world's most cold tolerant berseem clover, turned in an outstanding performance in Louisiana State University trials. Frosty is able to withstand temperatures as low as 5 degrees Fahrenheit with no snow cover and into minus temperatures with snow cover. Berseem Clover is considered a non-bloating clover. Foliage is similar to alfalfa but the stems are less fibrous, ensuring excellent feed quality. Crude Protein runs between 18 - 24%. Nitrogen content is 2.9 - 3.2% of dry biomass. Whether used for forage or as a cover crop, Frosty Berseem delivers.

Winter wheat density refers to the number of wheat plants per unit area, typically measured in plants per square meter. The ideal density depends on various factors like variety’s, sowing time, soil type, climate, and desired yield. Generally, a density of 300-450 plants per square meter is recommended for OP winter wheat. The root system of winter wheat is crucial for its growth and development. It consists of both shallow and deep roots, with the shallow roots mainly responsible for nutrient uptake and water absorption from the topsoil, while the deep roots penetrate deeper into the soil, accessing moisture and nutrients from lower layers. A well-developed root system is essential for anchoring the plant, supporting its above-ground biomass, and ensuring optimal nutrient and water uptake, ultimately contributing to better yields and stress tolerance.

The #superorganism we have created for ourselves is industrial, technological, stable and efficient. Backed by a 45-years-long orthodoxy of #productivity-driven #economicgrowth and #marketrationality, it promises an ever-more comfortable world for the middle class in the oxygen tent of #consumerism, with everything on tap whenever we want it. Outside the oxygen tent are the people who interface with the #naturalworld that actually sustains us: the #farmers, #miners, #foresters and #fishers for example. This article describes their experience of having to transform their approach from efficient to #agile, to cope with the collapsing stability of their operating context. It also describes the small margins on which they are expected to make that shift, and the deep motivation that sustains them. The divergence of these paths should alarm us. I think there is an imperative to understand what resilience means. Increasingly our oxygen tent depends on it, and we need to divert a lot of capital from efficiency to resilience, starting with the front line that we currently think of as #commodities.

Soil or growing media which is low in sulphur can be rectified with the right fertiliser. Fertiliser high in sulphur, including ammonium sulfate and elemental sulphur, should be applied according to the recommended rates and timing.
