@NewsroomNZ @marcdaalder What's that thing about humans being the first species to drive itself to extinction because it wasn't cost effective to do otherwise?

[Dan Bloomer @danbloomer1]

Alex is up to something. We'll be showing what and explaining why at https://t.co/LjGvdln3SJ Annual Conference in Havelock North next week. Come along and find out!

@RichardWakelin1 @LandWISENZ It was a privilege as it is working with @AlexDickson_! It's important work, and it's a hard system to make work. Very grateful for all the folk contributing to this project, turning up to impromptu meetings as we grapple with issues. @mccainfoods @HeinzWatties

@waynepech Looks identical to mine, so nice to drive! 80+% of charging is at home. From 9pm to midnight is $0.00 and that's 120km. On big trips $0.40 - 0.90/kwh depending on region & charging speed. Can always find lunch while charging. To date, 23,500km averages < $0.03/km.

My graduate student is looking at cultivation, electrical weeding and both strategies used in combination for perennial weed control in an organic orchard. Here’s some preliminary results.

@GeezaColeman The more I learn about regenerative agriculture and soil ecology, the more important I think precision application is.

Can't claim Napier is any better, but at least we landed!
