I wouldn’t make a dent in what we have in the grainstore but it seems a cheaper feed source...

    The urge to grow

    Warning: some elements of this post are a bit of a rant. I think many if not all farmers assume that they need to grow their business. The mentality is that if you are not expanding, then you are standing still or even going backwards. Where does this notion come from? Take it to the logical...

    Should we be worried about pesticides on food?

    Should we worry both as consumers and producers? Glyphosate on oats is the obvious one.Recently highlighted by tim Spector on one of his zoe podcasts. Do we know if glyphosate is toxic in any way. Is it messing with our microbiome? Also as a strawberry grower I am well aware of the very short...
