The Lunatic Farmer

Since I've been on a bit of a streak with foreign information the last couple of days, I'll share another one from a former Polyface apprentice who lives in Austria. He was here some 20 years ago and now operates a Texas Longhorn breeding program near Vienna. And pastured poultry and other things. He just emailed me the following (I've taken the liberty to clean up some grammatical issues due to German-English idiomatic differences): I follow your blog and liked your blog article about the poult

Aneuploidy, Types, Causes and Aneuploid Series

Agric4profits

Aneuploidy is a numerical variation that affects a particular chromosome and not the whole set as is the case with euploidy. Aneuploidy is the second major category of chromosome mutations in which chromosome number is abnormal.

Minnesota Grants to Support Continuous Living Cover Crop Development

ATTRA

The Minnesota Department of Agriculture announced 10 grant recipients under its Developing Markets for Continuous Living Cover Grant. These grants help develop enterprises, supply chains, and markets for continuous living cover crops and cropping systems in the early stage of commercial development. Continuous living cover refers to agricultural systems in which there are living plants and roots in the ground throughout the entire year.
