I am proud to work in agriculture.

Higher yields saved land.
Higher yields fed billions.

How? Science.

→ Better seeds.
→ Better fertilisers.
→ Better farming techniques.

People who say “go back to nature” actually want “go back to hunger”.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

No, Trump has destroyed America in the eyes of the world.

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

Il y a un agresseur : la Russie.

Il y a un peuple agressé : l'Ukraine.

Nous avons tous eu raison d'aider l'Ukraine et de sanctionner la Russie il y a trois ans et de continuer à le faire.

Nous, c’est les Américains, les Européens, Canadiens, Japonais et plusieurs autres.

Merci à tous ceux qui ont aidé et continuent. Et respect à ceux qui, depuis le début, se battent. Parce qu'ils se battent pour leur dignité, leur indépendance, pour leurs enfants et pour la sécurité de l'Europe.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.

Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

[Friedrich Merz @_FriedrichMerz]

Dear Volodymyr @zelenskyyua, we stand with #Ukraine in good and in testing times. We must never confuse aggressor and victim in this terrible war. (FM)

[Brian J. Karem @BrianKarem]

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US.

[Food and Agriculture Organization @FAO]

🌱 Soil is much more than just dirt beneath our feet.

It is a living and breathing ecosystem that supports agriculture, biodiversity, water cycles and even our climate.

Nutrient Use Efficiency in Responsible Plant Nutrition https://t.co/WTrlk9nuyn

[Tom Bruulsema @Science4RPN]

Excellent progress! Losses of reactive forms of nitrogen from Canadian cropland decreased from 20% to 13% of total N inputs from 2001 to 2016--while crop nitrogen removal increased very substantially, even ignoring the drought years 2001 and 2002. https://t.co/pwchrD7rWy

[Intl Fertiliser Soc @FertiliserSoc]

The 2024 Brian Chambers award is now open for entries - for early career researchers in crop nutrition all around the world, and not just in universities. Now in its 10th year, entry involves just a 1 page form, + a poster for finalists. Info & entry form: https://t.co/aWXGlUmQ36

Did you know that magnesium plays a special role in enhancing the quality of potatoes? Find out how... https://t.co/Oh4Rp8oypK

Pure madness.

[Cyclone Farms @CycloneFarms]

#organic flamed yesterday , cultivate today , corn is already recovering from the burn #farming

[Andrew Margenot @ajmargenot]

A lot of N going on as MAP/DAP in the fall months in the Corn Belt, with very high loss risk. Example: if half of Illinois acres going into corn receive 200 lb DAP/ac, that is 198 million lb N, which is +11% than the state's nitrate-N reduction target. We need TSP.

@FertiliserSoc @PowlsonDavid I’m honoured to be asked, but this work was focused on North America, and I don’t really specialize that much in sulphur. I’d suggest asking Ron Olson with TSI for webinar suggestions.

[Tom Bruulsema @Science4RPN]

There are many reasons to pay attention to sulfur nutritiion.
