“Economics of strip cropping with autonomous machines” with James Lowenberg-DeBoer. With the growing global population, the demand for food continues to rise. However, increasing food production often depends on intensive farming practices and agricultural inputs that can negatively impact environmental health. To counter this, promoting crop diversity, improving soil health, and reducing disease and pest pressure are crucial. Mixed cropping presents a viable solution but poses challenges for mechanization and labor efficiency. In this context, customized autonomous machines and advanced technology can play a key role in facilitating mixed cropping while lowering production costs. In this episode, Dr. James Lowenberg-DeBoer shares insights from his research on the economics of strip cropping—the simplest form of mixed cropping—using autonomous machines. He explores the feasibility and profitability of this approach, along with the challenges and opportunities in restoring crop biodiversity and ecosystem services, ultimately fostering better environmental health and sustainable agriculture. Tune in to learn: What is mixed cropping? What makes a farm machine “autonomous”? How do autonomous machines contribute to environmentally friendly agriculture? What are the economic differences between automated strip farming and conventional strip farming? What are swarm robots in agriculture?

Colin Seis is a prominent figure in regenerative agriculture, renowned for his innovative pasture cropping solutions in Australia. His family's introduction to agriculture began when his four-times-great-grandparents were sent to Australia as convicts and eventually became successful farmers. Colin grew up on a farm held by his family for many generations in Australia, inheriting a wealth of agricultural knowledge from his father. However, after having witnessed the detrimental effects of conventional farming practices, he sought to find a better way. This led to the development of pasture cropping on the Seis operation, a method that integrates crops and pastures to restore and maintain soil health.  Today, Colin's 2,000-acre farm is a model of sustainable farming, carrying more sheep than ever before without relying on chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and boasting a diverse array of native grassland species. In this episode, Colin and John discuss the:  Development and success of pasture cropping on his farm Restoration of native grasslands Improvement of farm profitability and sustainability Critical role of grazing in balancing the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio Management of rainfall and moisture Benefits of using native grasses Additional Resources To learn more about the Colin's farm, please visit: https://winona.net.au/ To get a copy of Colin's book, Custodians Of The Grasslands, please visit: https://winona.net.au/product/custodians-of-the-grasslands-author-colin-seis/ About John Kempf John Kempf is the founder of Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA).

“Comparative productivity of six bioenergy cropping systems on marginal lands in the Great Lakes Region, USA” with Dileepa Jayawardena. Bioenergy crops present a promising source for biofuel production, offering a potential solution to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. However, they face criticism for potentially encroaching on arable land essential for food production to sustain growing populations. To address this issue, there is a growing focus on utilizing marginal lands for growing bioenergy crops, which are less suitable for crop production. Marginal lands typically suffer from poor soil health and low nutrient and water availability. Therefore, it is crucial to identify and develop bioenergy crops that can thrive in such conditions and produce biomass for biofuel production while also confirming which marginal lands are best suited to these uses.  In this episode, Dileepa Jayawardena, a Research Associate at The Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center, Michigan State University, sheds light on his research aimed at finding suitable bioenergy cropping systems for marginal lands in Michigan and Wisconsin for producing biomass for long-term bioenergy production while minimizing the competition of land for food crops.  Tune in to learn more about ·         What are bioenergy crops? ·         What is the importance of bioenergy crops? ·         Why marginal lands can be suitable for bioenergy crops? ·         Which cropping system is better for marginal lands? ·         How to make sustainable biofuel production?

For this latest episode in this series of Influencers & Innovators podcasts, brought to you by Source by Sound Agriculture, Roy Pfaltzgraff of Haxtum, Colorado, talks about his 30-year assessment of the costs of tillage, no-tillage with fallow and no-till with a soil health focus. Cropping 2,200 dryland acres in an area that receives less than 14 inches of average rainfall yearly, Roy shares his insights from a presentation at the thirty-second annual National No-Tillage Conference on how he's changed the operation's focus over the past 8 years while raising 12 or more different crops each year in this extremely dry aera of northeastern Colorado.

Zack Smith is a fifth-generation farmer from northern Iowa. He is the owner and operator of Smith Seed and Agronomy, LLC, and co-founder and CEO of Stock Cropper, Inc. Zack previously worked in seed production and chemical retail as a certified crop advisor and then as a seed rep while farming on the side. He eventually became interested in soil health and started experimenting with strip-tilling and using cover crops, which marked the beginning of his shift towards regenerative agricultural. Zack recently developed a system called “stock cropping,” a regenerative farming system that raises row crops in conjunction with multiple species of livestock simultaneously in the field. He and his business partners, Sheldon Stevermer and Lance Peterson, went on to develop the Cluster Cluck 5000, an autonomous, self-moving barn. In this episode, Zack and John discuss: The concept of stock cropping and its benefits to plant and soil health Developing barns for mobile grazing that integrate multiple species of livestock Implementing a rotational grazing system with frequent moves to optimize animal impact and pasture utilization Developing high-quality pasture mixes using cool-season and warm-season species The importance of innovation and collaboration in advancing regenerative agriculture practices Additional Resources To learn more about stock cropping and the Cluster Cluck 5000, visit https://thestockcropper.com/ About John Kempf John Kempf is the founder of Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA).

Farmers for Soil Health is both a collaboration amongst farmer groups and a program hoping to motivate a big change in the US ag landscape.  The group's mission– to advance the use of soil health practices like cover crops to help improve farmer profitability, as born out of an agreement between the National Corn Growers and the Soy and Pork checkoffs. Recently, the group won an unprecedented $95 million USDA grant to tackle their goal of achieving 30 million acres in cover crops by 2030, a significant increase over today's numbers. Today, we're talking to the executive director of Farmers for Soil Health, Ben West, about the details of the project, who's behind it, and how farmers can get involved. We'll learn about the different tracks available to farmers who have never tried cover crops, to those who have tried but given up, and even for those who are currently using cover crops but would like to see added benefits. We'll also dig into the role of consumer-facing companies in the project, and how USDA is involved. Then we'll tackle what the future of the collaboration might look like.

Nestled between Denmark and Albany on the south coast of Western Australia, these remarkable wetlands provide a unique opportunity to preserve endangered wildlife. In early 2022, a group of concerned citizens and conservation groups came together to buy farmland featuring a unique wetland, Eungedup Wetlands, containing several breeding endangered Australasian Bitterns. Eungedup Wetlands presents a unique opportunity to overcome many of the threats faced by wetland birds. Water levels in Eungedup can be managed using an existing network of channels to ensure they provide ongoing habitat for its inhabitants, including the endangered Australasian Bittern.

Being unashamed is sexy—and creating space for people to shed it is Mistress Luna's specialty. She shares how she quit everything to devote her life to being a Prodomme, how she grounds herself and clients through the five senses in deeply sensual, and psychological sessions where that might include (but are not limited to) bondage, impact play, feminization, EMDR-style flogging, canes, crops, paddles, and floggers of all sizes, using the frameworks of SSCE, RACK and CFNM to arouse and create shame-surrendering healing through erotic experiences. Mistress Luna shares insights on the art of tease and denial, the weird stuff she loves, the tenderness of humiliation and degradation, and how she loves devotion and creatively uses her submissives, deciding how to administer pain when it is needed. She tells Wyoh about the research she's done to become a Domme, childhood memories of being “in charge,” Domming and couples, guys who want phallic play, launching a BDSM/Kink immersive experience company, and what it feels like to come home to herself—and Wyoh talks about witnessing Mistress Luna doing an intense cock and ball torture scene at a sex party.
