Peach 🍑 season is here and thanks to N.C. State’s 🐺 now-retired #peach breeder, there are varieties available specifically suited to North Carolina’s climate. Chilling hours, the number of total hours that a fruit tree must spend in temperatures below 40 degrees 🥶 during the dormant (winter) season, are a key factor in determining where certain peaches can grow. North Carolina peaches require approximately 1,000 or more chilling hours which is on the higher ⬆️ end of chilling requirements compared to South Carolina peaches that require 850 hours or less.

🎶 “Shoo fly, don’t bother me…” 🎶 says the age-old tune. Cows 🐮 don’t have the luxury of “shooing” flies 🪰 and one cow can house up to 1,000 flies in a day. Just 200 flies can cause about 0.4 pint of blood lost each day. Beyond that, flies can spread a blood-transmitted disease called anaplasmosis which can cause severe anemia in cattle.

Pre-agriculture populations dating back 15,000 years ago were found to have eaten more plants 🌿 than experts once thought. Examinations of bones 🦴 and teeth from a group of seven Moroccan people helped researchers 🔎 learn that diets consisted of sweet acorns, pine nuts, pistachio, oats and legumes called pulses. https://buff.ly/3UA4iiN #ag #agriculture
