There is no joy in a post like this. Zero. It isn't about one way of farming vs another.

An off duty NWS employee sent us this video of significantly reduced visibility from blowing dust on the northern end of Grand Forks, ND.
If traveling in open country this afternoon, be prepared for sudden reductions in visibility. #ndwx#mnwx

Coprinopsis pulchricaerulea was first described in 2012 in northern NSW. Its blue fruiting body is short-lived, sometimes liquefying and disappearing.
