A Very Merry Un-Mother's Day to YOU!

So in case you haven't noticed, I haven't written a blog post in over a year. And on the off chance you didn't know why, it's mostly because of how busy I've been since taking my company in more of an independent direction, both in terms of consulting, and in developing my own product . The cannabis consulting thing has probably taken up the biggest portion of that time. In short, I've been so busy learning, that I haven't had time to share much. Not all of what I've earned has much applicability to the world of commercial ag. Some of it has, to be sure. For example, I can't wait to start sharing and teaching about what I've learned about Vapor Pressure Deficit (or VPD). I'm fairly certain that explains why wheat works SO well in places that are particularly hot and dry and far less successful in places with greater humidity like most of the Midwest. Some of what I've learned though has to do with indoor agriculture that won'...

Moisture Matters: Do you know how it impacts your N?

Guys! Guys... seriously. It's like they're listening to me! Ok, sorry. Let me back up and explain. You remember how like 6 weeks I wrote this article called Agronomy Theory: 101 ? Ok, well it turns out that there are a few options here: #1. I'm actually right and someone from 360 Yield Center saw my post and was like "Wow, that makes sense." #2. They figured this out on their own, and I deserve zero credit, but at least I was right. #3. I'm totally wrong and so is 360 Yield Center. I mean I'm SURE that it's #1, because, I mean hey... why not? BUT... either way, there's a 2 out of 3 chance that I was right and as that great sage of wisdom, Meat Loaf, reminds us, So yeah... like I said, I'll take it. Now, in case you're like, "WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT?!" allow me to explain. I just got the email from 360 Yield Center with their new sales sheet. CHECK IT OUT: In all seriousness though, I am absolutely thri...

How to kill a Werewolf and what that has to do with farming

Everybody knows that in order to kill a werewolf you have to have a magical silver bullet. Well, I have good news and I have bad news. The good news is that werewolves aren't real (which, sadly, means that there probably aren't vampires that look like Kate Beckinsale, either). The bad news is that magical silver bullets don't really exist either-- not for killing werewolves, and not in farming. In all seriousness, here's how the Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines, "Silver Bullet" : "Something that acts as a magical weapon; especially : one that instantly solves a long-standing problem." Don't get me wrong, we've a few things that we've treated as though they were silver bullets. For example, a 2008 article published in a peer-reviewed, scientific journal called, Pest Management Science , called glyphosate "A once-in-a-century herbicide. " However, you might recall this article on glyphosate published in ...
