(1/2) Did you know that mining bees nest underground and dig intricate tunnel systems to lay their eggs in? These underground tunnel systems lead to slightly larger chambers known as brood cells, where a female mining bee will provide just enough pollen and nectar for the egg.

When my grandpa was young, corn might not be back in the same field for 7 years. One thing I took away from the was the need to build a diverse rotation. That broke up disease and insect problems.

A couple observations listening to @CoverCropNC at the 2022 Soil Health Expo in Princeton, IN

1) His soils are kind of tough - like a lot of S IN soils.
2) When he puts up Agronomic and ROI slides up, so do phones in the audience.

Jewelweed blooms from July to the first frost in September or October and has beautiful orange flowers that are pouch-shaped with red spots. The nectar found in the bright and showy flowers are highly attractive to hummingbirds, butterflies, and a variety of native bee species!
