Appalachian farmers need to be thinking about diversification of their operations, whether livestock or crops. Eastern Kentuckians are locavores, and for good reason. Our small and mid-size farms should be producing as many different commodities as they possibly (and profitably) can to accommodate our neighbors, who thankfully prefer to buy local, while maintaining the focus on the one or two things that are their main source of income. Example: cow-calf operation adds some hair ewes to the farm to increase grazing efficiency and to generate income before or after calves have been sold. #KentuckyFarmers #ProfessionalAgriculture

This is Cattle rearing without herdsmen doing illegal grazing on farmers crops and fighting farmers with AK47. It's still open grazing but controlled. There's still space for the cows to exercise without walking for miles. The range can be shared into parts, one part is used to grow feed and the other part keeps the cows. The following year it is rotated and the previous part is enriched enough by cow dung and is used to grow feed. This is a smart way to farm Cattle. #thesmartbusinessradio #worksmartgrowfast

Beautiful illustration What about introduction of biocontrol factors such as Podisus ( predator stink bug). GrowLiv Biologicals can make it available for trial purposes.

Pastoralists… 🌍 are found in 3/4 of the world's countries, 🐏raise livestock where no crops can grow, 🌱are guardians of the environment, and much more Here are 7 reasons why pastoralism supports a better future👉🏾 https://lnkd.in/dr4mbCCD #SustainableLivestock

Soil loves what we call Imperfection so let's change it to (In)perfection. 👨🌾 Cover crop 🌱🌾🌿🌻 summer mix with 30 days. No till ✅ No sintétic fertilizer ✅ Monoculture ❌ Done by a good management with livestock a row seeder and the perfect humidity in the soil. Seeds from @montesilveirabio which helped a lot, I have no doubt. #integritysoils #regenerativeagriculture #regenerativefarm #regenerativegrazing

Different crops differ in many ways, however they often face the same adversities, such as abiotic stress from heat or drought 🥵 We've taken a deeper dive with Pop Vriend Seeds / KWS senior plant breeder Gerthon vandeBunt into how we focus on resistance breeding for vegetables such as beans, whilst still maintaining their delicious, sweet taste that the whole family can enjoy 😋🫛 Stay tuned for more information in our next World of Farming story, coming soon! #WorldofFarming #VegetableBreeding #VegetableSquad

Culling doesn't and won't work to control bTB in cattle. All that badger culling does is kill badgers. We discuss government plans to continue badger culling indefinitely on BBC Farming Today (16/3/24) >> Starts 17m 07s Badger Trust 21m 32s 94% of bTB disease is spread from cattle to cattle. Current testing methods do not show the direction of travel of the disease. A recent study found cattle are 800 TIMES more likely to spread bTB to badgers than the other way around. If there was a 56% reduction in cattle bTB in cattle, we'd also see this in the percentage of cattle prematurely slaughtered due to bTB. We haven't; it's remained at around 0.5% since before the cull began. Birch study authors point out they cannot distinguish the effect of culling from other measures. To pinpoint culling as an effective bTB control method is impossible. That's because, alongside culling, farmers have to implement more stringent cattle measures, especially in High Risk Areas #EndtheCull
