For over forty years, these cosmic designs have sparked fevered debate: alien messages, dimensional portals, or human hoaxes? Tonight, we plunge into the heart of this mystery with Citizen D, a former circle-maker whose explosive revelations challenge everything you thought you knew. From eerie compulsions to time-warping synchronicities and ghostly apparitions, he claims the truth lies not in the skies but in the human hands guided by unseen forces. Is it art? Possession? A cosmic conspiracy? Join us as we unravel a phenomenon that blurs the line between creator and creation, where the fields of Wessex whisper secrets of the unknown. Buckle up—this is crop circles like you've never heard before.     GUEST: Citizen D is the pseudonym of a former crop circle maker who spent years crafting intricate designs in the fields of Wessex before retiring a decade ago. Now an enigmatic writer, he explores the paranormal undercurrents of the phenomenon through his provocative Substack and forthcoming book, It Can't Be People. Drawing on interviews with fellow circle-makers, he reveals unsettling accounts of reality-bending experiences, suggesting humans may be conduits for unknown forces. Operating from an undisclosed location to protect his identity, Citizen D combines firsthand expertise with a relentless pursuit of the mystery's deeper truths, challenging both skeptics and believers to rethink the nature of crop circles and human consciousness itself.   SUBSTACK: https://itcantbepeople.substack.com Learn more about your ad choices.

In this explosive episode of Talk Dirt to Me, we break down the latest in the U.S.–China tariff war and what it means for American farmers. Will China's retaliation cripple ag exports, or is U.S. grain still a global necessity? We unpack the facts and share where we stand. Then we tackle the bombshell news that Bayer may drop Roundup if the government doesn't grant them litigation protection. Could this shake the entire ag industry? We explore the real-world ramifications, whether Roundup truly causes cancer, and what farmers could be forced to use instead.

In a year marked by a lot of uncertainties, many Wisconsin farmers are wondering what’s next. Behind the scenes, agricultural lenders are working closely with producers—not just to manage risk, but to help guide long-term success. One of those voices is Nicholas Felder, vice chair of the ag bankers section board, who’s seeing both concern and quiet confidence among his clients in Southwest Wisconsin. Lenders are watching for key traits in borrowers. “The farms with an executive mindset—handling HR, finances, equipment choices—those are the ones that survive long term,” he emphasized. Some sectors are faring better than others. “Dairy had an average year in 2024. But 2025 will be tougher. Crop farmers will face another rough season,” Felder shared. “Cattle producers are doing okay—if the math adds up.” Across the board, producers are feeling uncertain. “There’s a lot of pessimism in agriculture right now,” Felder said. “No one knows what’s coming next—six weeks or six months out.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We;;, after a weekend of college basketball madness, we have to talk about this Final Four. Like Dylan told us last week, this was four of the top rated teams from the last few years, and the games didn't disappoint. Between the defensive play of the teams, epic comebacks and frenetic play, there was something for everyone to watch. Then we talk briefly about golf. Hope your Tuesday is good.

If you've been in our community for a while, you've probably seen the name Viktor Schauberger pop up.Whenever we post about him—engagement spikes—comments flood in.It's no wonder.He's a legend in electroculture circles.Dubbed the Water Wizard, Schauberger spent his life studying the hidden intelligence of nature.He built spiral flumes that floated timber uphill. Machines that mimicked trout swimming upstream.His belief? That life flows in spirals, not straight lines—and that true innovation comes from observing and cooperating with those patterns.But his work didn't stop at water.Schauberger also turned his attention to agriculture.And he noticed something that most people overlooked:Steel and iron tools, when overused or misapplied, disturb the soil.He saw it firsthand—fields cultivated with iron implements often showed signs of fatigue. Crops weakened. The land grew less responsive.It wasn't that steel was inherently “bad”—in fact, in the right hands and placed with intention, ferromagnetic materials can amplify the Earth's magnetic field.That's the basis of magnetoculture.But left unchecked, iron particulates introduced into the soil from constant tilling or rust can:* Dry out the top layer* Disrupt soil magnetism* Interfere with microbial and energetic balanceSchauberger's solution?Copper.Together with engineer Franz Rosenberger, he designed a series of copper and zinc plows—some modeled on natural patterns, including one that mimicked the digging action of a mole.Yes a mole.The result?Yields increased by 30%.No chemicals. No inputs. Just better tools, aligned with nature's own intelligence.Why Copper Tools Work With Nature, Not Against ItSo—why does it work?Schauberger believed the answer was diamagnetism.Diamagnetic materials like copper, carbon, and water don't hold or distort magnetic fields.Instead, they create a gentle repelling effect—preserving the integrity of the Earth's energetic flow.In other words: copper doesn't interfere. It harmonizes.Ready to upgrade your garden for spring? View the collection → OJ ToolsCopper Tools & Soil Health: What the Research ShowsThis Isn't Just Theory—The Results Show ItIn a 2017 study from Maribor University in Slovenia, researchers compared a traditional steel hoe and a copper (bronze) hoe—handcrafted by OJ Tools—on two identical garden beds.Here's what they found:* ✅ Better water retention* ✅ Improved soil structure* ✅ Higher pH values* ✅ Stronger, more vigorous plant growthLeft = Copper / Right = SteelThe soil that had been worked with copper simply performed better.More hydrated, more alive, and more productive.Creator Spotlight: OJ ToolsThat's why this week, we're shining a light on OJ Tools—a brilliant independent maker crafting hand-forged copper garden tools, rooted in these very principles.Built with care. Designed for harmony.And just in time for spring planting.With a 12 year warranty — they currently ship to the UK and mainland Europe (apologies to our international folks—we're working on options).And just a heads-up: We do receive a small commission if you purchase through our link. But as always—we only recommend what we believe in. These tools aren't just beautiful—they work. And they support a maker doing something deeply aligned with our community's values.Why Copper Tools Make a Difference—for You✅ No Rust = No Soil ContaminationCopper doesn't oxidize like steel, so your soil stays clean and balanced.✅ Supports a Thriving MicrobiomeCopper used sparingly helps beneficial microbes flourish—without disrupting the life underground.✅ Improves Water RetentionCopper may indirectly enhance soil structure and hydration—especially useful in dry spells.✅ Energetically HarmonizedCopper, water, and carbon are all diamagnetic—meaning they work together without interference.✅ Feels Beautiful to UseGardeners often describe copper tools as smoother, more precise, and simply more enjoyable to work with.Let's bring Schauberger's vision to life—one garden at a time.And hey—do you know an incredible maker, toolsmith, or earth-aligned innovator we should feature next?We're always on the lookout for creators doing meaningful work in harmony with nature. Maybe that applies to you!?

Do dairy farms have to go big to survive? The Marcoot Family started a creamery and no longer have liquid milk to sell. ....Also the best Smoked Gouda I have ever tasted 

On the Tuesday, April 8 edition of Georgia Today: OSHA says improperly stored chemicals sparked last year's fire at the BioLab facility in Conyers; the Georgia Chamber of Commerce tells its members to prepare for the effects of new tariffs enacted by the Trump administration; and a cold snap delays the start of this year's peanut crop in Georgia.

One thing I am often asked by beginning gardeners is, “what is the easiest thing for me to grow?” Some of us just dive right in to gardening headfirst, attempting to grow whatever our favorite veggies are, regardless of how easy or difficult it is. Or without even considering that one might be more difficult than others. That was me and ignorance is definitely bliss until you are unsuccessful, and then it's just frustrating.So, today on Just Grow Something I'm going to cover some of the easiest things for a brand-new gardener to grow, whether it's in garden beds, raised planters or pots. We'll take about which growing zones they are appropriate for, what type of light requirements they have, and any specific requirements they prefer like temperature or how they germinate. Just because they're easy doesn't mean they won't appreciate a little attention to their preferences and that will only make them easier for you to get them to maturity.
