I haven’t been on Twitter for like a year but I came back to say this: recyclable containers should have a perforated tear down the side of the label so the label can be easily removed for recycling. To this day I don’t understand why that’s not a thing yet
No-till is a great option for farmers looking into increase conservation practices on their farm! It helps to reduce topsoil erosion as well as create a soil environment that’s better at holding moisture and nutrients in place!

First time no-tillers should keep it simple. Make sure to plant the right crop for your first year. Learn more important tips on https://t.co/avMwKdoFhD. https://t.co/qKbkXVSYQa #NoTillNovember
CRP is a great conservation incentive that any farmer can use to their benefit! Farmers can be paid for setting aside farmland for conservation purposes.

- it holds moisture well
- it creates a good environment for many soil-dwelling organisms
- it helps to grow healthy, thriving crops

Red clover is an important part of a farmer’s rotation. It’s often used as a cover crop and/or a forage crop. It’s a legume that fixes nitrogen in the soil for future crops, and it’s hardy. It can either be sown by itself or with a mixture.

How is ag going greener? Some ways have been:
- increased use of cover crops
- use of prairie strips
- movement towards reduced pesticide use
- crop rotations that benefit pollinators

In 2016, when Trump won PA, MI, and WI by a handful of votes, the election system worked just great. Now that he's losing, it's a "fraud" and they're "stealing the election." This is how demagogues destroy faith in democracy and move us toward authoritarianism. Count every vote!
