Grass-finished black angus beef... outstanding flavour, good for you, good for the environment, good for the community and great for the soul.

30 years old, she cleans up pretty good, wish I could buy a new one ,14000hrs and never touched, $56000 new, great tractor, runs every day, 125white @peipotatoes@canadanbeef

Super cool paper by @GeorgiouKat et al! Top lines:
- Mineral type matters for understanding SOC saturation!
- Ag soils are way below SOC saturation capacity (<50%)
- Grazing lands (!!) are particularly undersaturated & are good SOC restoration targets

[Paige Stanley, PhD @grazing_paige]

Sequestration efficacy is highest on croplands bc they're in a greater SOC deficit, but this paper reiterates importance of sequestration efforts on grass/rangelands bc 1) they're still far from saturation, & 2) they cover SO much land. We won't reach climate goals without them.

[Paige Stanley, PhD @grazing_paige]

Finally, I think this paper puts to bed the classic argument that SOC sequestration isn't a worthwhile climate change mitigation strategy because of saturation. Most soils aren't even at 1/2 capacity according to this new analysis. Lots of room and opportunity to improve SOC!

And they’re off! A half a million potatoes are headed down University Ave to Grafton St and will be ending at the Charlottetown Event Grounds.

Dialed In Precision Ag doing some #SWAT mapping in PEI before soil sampling and prepping for the 2022 potato crop. Now is a good time to start thinking about next year! #variablerate #precisionag

[Cedric J MacLeod @localvalleybeef]

@KenSchaus Are Maritime yards an option Kena fair volume of high quality feed around

[Cedric J MacLeod @localvalleybeef]

@ryansnoddon You bet Ryan, we've moved the majority of our #Forage production over to silage. Mow day-1, bale day-2, wrap wet. Allows us to manage our harvest risk much more effectively

[Shift New Brunswick @ShiftNB]

We spoke with @localvalleybeef today about this year's hay crop! You can hear here: https://t.co/jhPki6XWGv

@VanessaVVCBC Sometimes it's hard to beat the view from the field. 122-bales down, another 100 to go

Thanks for the chat today @VanessaVVCBC. Chasing the rain away with @TreeHouseChick on the rake ahead of the baler

[Speare Seeds @speareseeds]

#haymaker oats in the #maritimes @localvalleybeef nice looking field my friend!

[Cedric J MacLeod @localvalleybeef]

It's really too bad @seguincbc that the NB Climate Change secretariat hearings last week were dominated by talks of #Glyphosate bans and not actual climate change mitigation to support the next generation. Let's start talking about strategic forest management practices instead

[Cedric J MacLeod @localvalleybeef]

@blake_vince Amidas all the way Blake, we see nice yield increases with it, minimal to zero burn. Using airflow boom spreaders

[Cedric J MacLeod @localvalleybeef]

This is how @localvalleybeef turns a #CoverCrop into profit. 2020 planted @BarenbrugUSA #GreenSpirit underseeded to oats, alfalfa and high performance grasses coming off as #Forage21

[PEI Potato Board @PEIPotatoBoard]

Out today on SpudChat...our June Grower Check-In with Bryan Maynard, Gordon McKenna and @macaulayfarms. Available now wherever good podcasts are found!
