Reflecting on the lived experience over a couple beers. Starting to think intelligence isn’t a bell curve but a horseshoe. Meaning, there’s a certain amount of high intelligence that can be attained to where it’s indistinguishable from being retarded. Much to consider.

The largest underground #water supply in the United States — the Ogallala Aquifer, which is responsible for sustaining a vast share of the nation’s #farming — is steadily running dry, raising concerns about future food production and price volatility.

@hjosh00 The I state mind cannot comprehend the concept of dragging an IH Cyclo Air out of a windbreak in June to plant corn into failed wheat simply because “we got a nice rain”

The high plains corn farmer should start including the free real estate he takes up in the minds of the corn belt farmer on his balance sheet.

Maybe we can no longer afford to grow $4 corn in the west ??

In case you missed the biggest news that was lost to the circus that is our government, the USGS has released data showing that America's underground aquifer storing water is officially drying up.

Spanning approximately 174,000 square miles across eight states from South Dakota to Texas, the Ogallala Aquifer (High Plains Aquifer) is the lifeblood of American agriculture, providing roughly 30% of all groundwater used for U.S. irrigation.

However, the aquifer faces an existential crisis as massive agricultural extraction severely outpaces natural replenishment from rainfall. In some heavily farmed regions like the Texas High Plains, water levels have plunged by up to 80 meters (262 feet), leaving parts of the reservoir entirely depleted and threatening the long-term viability of the region's farming communities.

The consequences of this groundwater collapse extend far beyond localized dry wells.

The Ogallala sustains a massive $35+ billion agricultural economy, and as the water table drops, farmers are hit with skyrocketing extraction costs and dwindling crop yields.

This critical situation is not isolated; California’s Central Valley Aquifer, another vital agricultural engine, is suffering from similar severe, long-term depletion. Without aggressive water management and a shift toward sustainable farming practices, the depletion of these non-renewable resources risks destabilizing the nation's food supply and transforming once-fertile plains back into arid dust bowls.

@travishermanson @KKoolyk You would get low warn alerts before that happened depending on where your thresholds were at. After all that, ground speed sensor, VR solenoid, hex shaft seed sensor etc

[Evan @SLCC_1]

@travishermanson @KKoolyk If that doesn’t fix it, look for wires pinched or weather pack pins bent. Does that section have its own VR drive? If there is a bind somewhere on the hex shaft that only occurs on flex it could lower shaft speed RPM to a point where it shuts off. Look everywhere else first

@SiekerSales Randomly remembered planting Milo while that was going on. Wild times

RIP George Floyd on the timeline. It’s time to plant Milo

The 2,700 year history of the United States begins with Romulus killing Remus on the banks of the Tiber; China was still ruled by steppe nomads when the Wright Brothers invented the airplane.

If you’ve played attention to the OpenAI farm commercial it gives the lady a Deere part number (2 letters 6 or more numbers) instead of a Macdon part number( one letter 5 numbers)

Professors?

[TFTC @TFTC21]

A peer-reviewed paper published last year in the journal Bioethics by two professors at Western Michigan University School of Medicine argues that it is "morally obligatory" to genetically engineer ticks to spread alpha-gal syndrome, a permanent condition that makes you violently allergic to red meat.

The paper is called "Beneficial Bloodsucking."

Their argument: if eating meat is morally wrong, then preventing the spread of a disease that forces people to stop eating meat is also morally wrong. Scientists should gene-edit lone star ticks to enhance their ability to carry alpha-gal syndrome and expand their range into urban environments to infect more people.

They call this a "moral bioenhancer." They frame releasing genetically modified disease-carrying ticks as a "vaccination" that only "infringes" on your bodily autonomy rather than "violating" it. The distinction, apparently, is that a tick bit you instead of a government official holding you down.

Alpha-gal syndrome is not mild. The CDC estimates up to 450,000 Americans are already affected. Cases have surged 100-fold in the last decade. Symptoms include anaphylaxis. There is no cure.

Alpha-gal cases are exploding across the United States. The lone star tick's range is expanding far beyond its historical territory. And two academics at a medical school published a paper arguing this is a good thing that should be accelerated.

At what point do we stop treating papers like this as fringe academic exercises and start asking whether anyone is already acting on them?
