@agronomistag @regenranching That soil looks tilled and harrowed. But I suppose if growers are limited to hand implements, they will not be able to till (or farm) as much land.

@GeostatLark Great to see. I had lunch with Colin out in Bristol when I was researching Geoffrey Milne's work. He had some amazing stories.

@TimothyDSnyder Can you turn this into a podcast series? I’ve watched several lectures, but would love to binge on long drives.

Accepting and rejecting papers is an archaic practice that is terrible for science. It strips peer review of its value & institutionalizes the practice of judging scientists based on where, rather than what, they publish. It's time for this system to go.

@nucleifitness @TamarHaspel @HurstBlake @donpcarr 1) Do all of the folks directly or indirectly working for those large family farms not count as farmers? But the independent guy selling $1k of produce does (USDA minimum)?

2) Farm consolidation has been with us for a long time. Even for industries without much federal subsidy.

[Dave Brown @wapaDB]

@nucleifitness @TamarHaspel @HurstBlake @donpcarr Large family farm operations might account for a small % of operations as defined by the USDA but account for the vast bulk of production.

@RyanEasterling Top rusher, struggling backup QB, and a FG can win the game. A day later, still can’t see the logic. Just win baby. Phew.

A late Throwback Thursday entry. In honor of Chase McLauglin winning an NFL game all by himself (4-4 from 31, 48, 51, and 52 as the Colts win 12-9), let’s go all the way back to his freshman year when he was an unknown walkon making trick shot videos. https://t.co/k29b5MUnf3

This Colts-Broncos games brings up memories of the first college football game I watched in person: Illinois tied Northwestern 0-0. Field goal kicking has improved over the past 45 years.

Yes. We particularly lose spoons. And you can’t just buy replacement spoons to complete a set.

@donlemon @DonLemonTonight You need to find an exit from the sinking ship MAGAmedia.

Would the UK remain calm and show restraint if Scotland split itself from the UK?

[Dave Brown @wapaDB]

@NormOrnstein And Turley willfully misconstrued Garland’s statement on why DOJ resorted to such an intrusive action. This is embarrassing.

Voters like to see a sense of authenticity in candidates, especially in Texas. But cursing and vulgar language in front of children and the elderly more often than not crosses the line. https://t.co/wq2QvEF0mL

Just want to point out that the YouTube gun-enthusiast video ecosystem has demonstrations of people using nail guns to defeat ballistic glass designed to stop rifle rounds & that ballistic glass is a common feature in the entrances to secure locations such as FBI field offices.
