The guy in the green polo looks familiar! 😉 Grateful for the opportunity to give these talks to farmers about sustainable agriculture practices! https://t.co/JYNFsqWq9G via @FabFarmBabe

Spoke to attendees of the ACE Twilight meeting last night about soil health, water quality, and farm sustainability. Lots of farmers and community members in attendance! Note the results from the rainfall simulation (~2" of rain). Thanks to @dairypdpw for inviting me!

Demonstrating how we use the Cornell Infilrometer to measure one aspect of soil health and how that relate to perrenial ground cover and erosion protection.

@DrManure I got mine from my local NRCS field office. I think all offices should have a kit.

[Josh Bendorf @joshbendorf95]

@DrManure Literally did the same demo at a talk Mondat night!

The days are getting shorter. The nights are getting cooler. The first signs of fall are here, including some of these early beauties 🍁

Calling a plant a weed is only a matter of perspective! #plants

Weeds are amazing & beautiful sometimes! @LynnSosnoskie

@ESpolyar A moth buzzing around a light bulb will do the same thing to me lol!

#Harvest2022 began yesterday in the #wheat fields at the farm. Wheat has worked quite well in our rotation and is great for the soil!Early indications are that this will be a good crop! 🌾

Heavy rains have fallen across Southern/Central WI this morning. Be aware of minor flooding in the areas in brighter colors (1-3" of rain). #wiwx

@EthanSmidt32 @Soil_Plant_IXNs @prairiestrips @isuagronomy I'd like to read more about the findings as well!

[Josh Bendorf @joshbendorf95]

The patio herb garden project is going well! The basil and cilantro are coming up nicely! Going to try dehydrating and grinding some up next week. #gardening

Map shows daily high temperature 🌡️ records broken or tied across the Midwest from 6/1 through this morning (6/16). Over 500 records were for warm overnight temps. Many of these records were set just within the last few days. #heatwave

I took another stab at becoming the next great American DJ this afternoon! 😆 Just kidding, I was actually a part of a conservation panel on WBEV in Beaver Dam. I feel humbled to be asked to be a part of things like this. I guess I'm doing something right! #conservation #radio

[Josh Bendorf @joshbendorf95]

An interesting idea! #PrecisionAg is an important tool in achieving maximum ROI in cropping systems. It'd be cool if this becomes a thing!

[Josh Bendorf @joshbendorf95]

@agronomistruth Sounds like a cool project! I have a few monarch CRP projects going right now here in WI.

[Josh Bendorf @joshbendorf95]

I put on a nice shirt and attended the @cleanlakes annual meeting in Madison. So cool to see stakeholders from all industries coming together for clean water! As a conservation professional and outdoor enthusiast, this is great! #sustainability
