Brad kicks off a solo episode (recorded before a trip to Germany) and turns the mic to rangeland scientist Anna Clare for a deep dive into “the solar savanna”—treating solar arrays on grasslands as functioning grazing ecosystems. She shares early results from Silicon Ranch's Cattle Tracker research on integrating cattle (not just sheep) with PV systems. Brad follows with University of Minnesota's on-farm demos: panel heights that work for cattle, heat-stress reductions, forage performance under panels, and a mobile, battery-equipped shade/solar rig. If you're curious how and when cattle can safely graze under solar, this one's packed with data and practical design tips.Key takeawaysSolar as savanna: Think of arrays as shade “canopies” over grasslands—manage them as grazing systems with soils, roots, pollinators, and large herbivores in mind.Cattle can work under PV: Moving from sheep to cattle is feasible when arrays are designed with animal size/behavior in mind.Panel height matters: In controlled mockups, animal interactions dropped 43% from 2.0→2.5 m and 59% at 3.0 m. Cattle never touched panels; most curiosity was with dampers—a design hotspot.Ecosystem wins: Under-panel zones showed higher soil moisture and lower soil temperatures, favoring cool-season grasses and legumes; regrowth dynamics can improve after grazing passes.Animal welfare benefits: UMN trials showed lower respiration rates and 0.5–1.0 °F lower internal body temperatures during hot afternoons for shaded cows—meaningfully less heat stress.Forage production holds up (or improves): Certain mixes (e.g., orchardgrass, meadow fescue; grass-legume combos) produced equal or greater biomass under panels with no drop in nutritive value.Design for cattle, not fear: After a decade of on-farm experience, Brad's team hasn't seen cattle damage panels; people and tractors are more likely risks than cows.Practical layouts: Keep inverters outside fences, route wiring high/inside racking, and allow equipment lanes; rotational grazing and (potentially) virtual fencing fit well.Innovation on wheels: A 20 kW mobile bifacial shade rig with onboard batteries can power irrigation, fencing, and even an electric tractor—bringing agrivoltaics to wherever cattle need relief.Research & projects mentionedSilicon Ranch – Cattle Tracker: multi-year cattle-PV integration study; Phase 2 is a 4.5 MW Tennessee “outdoor test lab” comparing array vs. open pasture for behavior, space use, health/performance, plus mirrored ecosystem monitoring.Comprehensive literature review (AGU Earth's Future – in press): Maps intersections among livestock–solar–land, identifies six research gaps (integration, layered ecology, modeling, best practices, social dimensions, collaborative science).UMN Morris agrivoltaics demos: Fixed-tilt arrays at 6–8 ft (1.8–2.4 m) leading edge; 0.5 MW pasture array powering campus; vertical bifacial and crop-under-PV pilots coming; EV fast charger powered by cow-shade solar.Who it's forDevelopers, ranchers, extension pros, and policy folks exploring dual-use solar that keeps grasslands working and cattle comfortable.Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory

Telepathic Fish co-founder DJ Food, aka one part of Openmind, takes us on a trip into the world of 90s chill out. Strictly Kev likes the company of plants whilst working on music so that's handy for us isn't it?! We're assuming he's talking about a beautiful Calathea sitting in the corner for inspiration, tho his dream plant setup - a conservatory packed with Romanesco broccoli, trippy Caladiums, and Persian Shields - is something we'd be well on board with too. Enough of the plant talk for a second and back to the music, ambient music to be clear. For those that weren't squatting in South London back in the early 90s, Openmind were the four-piece behind the mighty Telepathic Fish - the legendary ambient afterparty that transformed chill-out rooms from dub-playing afterthoughts into proper destinations. Kev, along with Chantal Passamonte (Mira Calix, RIP), David Vallade, and Mario Aguera, started in a shared house above a shop with no neighbours to complain/bash the door down. What began as art school parties quickly grew into Sunday afternoon sessions in squatted venues - a former dole office in Brixton and even the derelict Roundhouse on New Year's Day. They hosted everyone from Aphex Twin to Mixmaster Morris among wall-to-wall mattresses, UV installations, and  Coldcut's Matt Black with his boundary pushing video projections. The idea was simple: recreate that post-clubbing comedown vibe but on a massive scale, as an "aural and visual blanket" for club-rattled minds. They even published a fanzine called Mindfood and worked at the scene's hub, Ambient Soho record shop, helping shape what Simon Reynolds called a "wombeldelic sound-and-light bath" in contrast to the current trend of hardcore and it's relentless assault. Thirty years on, that spirit's having a comeback. Events like London's A Loose Ting are bringing back the bedding and the hushed reverence, while Berlin's Overflow is going full sensory overload with vibrating mattresses, fountains, and harpists. New York's Planetarium gatherings have people mostly horizontal, inspired by psychedelic therapy sessions. There's even and ambient sauna in South London you might have come across via the wonder of Music To Watch Seeds Grow By's recent takeover.  Our very own Watching Trees dabbled in said chill out space this year, pairing the abstract and the ambient with projected dappled sunlight visuals from the mighty Jamie House. Turns out people still need those little havens away from the madness, especially in this day and age! Also handily 30 years on the Openmind crew have just compiled the first-ever Telepathic Fish retrospective for Fundamental Frequencies - a double vinyl love letter to those hazy early-90s mornings when the music finally slowed down. For this Seeds Mix, Kev has leaned into his love of minimalism and systems music - repetition built from layers of loops offset against each other to form subtle polyrhythms. There's a deliberate avoidance of drum machines here in favour of organic percussion, and around the eight-minute mark, a section from Psychick Warriors Ov Gaia that captures the feeling of being deep in the forest, phone abandoned, discovering that paradise was just a forage away.

Les contrôles chinois sur les exportations de tungstène depuis février ont fait grimper les prix. Or ce métal est utilisé pour sa dureté, sa résistance à l'abrasion qui sont des qualités précieuses pour l'industrie. Parmi les secteurs touchés par cette flambée des prix, il y a celui du pétrole aux États-Unis, et plus précisément les entreprises de forage pétrolier, celles qui mettent en œuvre indirectement la doctrine de Donald Trump « Drill baby drill ». Les exportations de Chine ne sont pas interdites, mais elles se font au ralenti. Résultat, le prix du tungstène a presque doublé entre le 4 février, date des restrictions imposées par Pékin et aujourd'hui. Cette hausse se répercute directement sur le coût de production des outils de forage de haute qualité, et notamment ceux en carbure de tungstène. Selon la taille des forêts utilisées, il faut compter entre 3 000 et 25 000 dollars de plus, selon l'agence Reuters. Les entreprises qui produisent ces outils ont de quoi s'inquiéter pour leur clientèle. Certaines comme R.S.Rock Drilling Tools, se sont d'ailleurs lancées dans des opérations de communication pour convaincre que la qualité, même plus chère, restait un bon investissement. Cette hausse réduit un peu plus les marges d'un secteur soumis aussi à l'augmentation des prix de l'acier et pourrait compliquer un peu plus les ambitions pétrolières de la Maison Blanche. L'industrie mondiale du forage n'est pas la seule à être affectée : les produits semi-finis de tungstène alimentent tous les procédés industriels, précise l'Observatoire français des ressources minérales pour les filières industrielles (Ofremi). La demande en tungstène pour les secteurs de l'énergie et de la défense va être exponentielle d'ici à 7 ans (75% et plus) selon l'organisme qui précise que l'augmentation concerne aussi le secteur de la construction, des produits de grande consommation et le secteur médical. Quelle alternative pour les États-Unis ? Les États-Unis n'ont pas vraiment d'alternative pour s'approvisionner, car la Chine contrôle près de 80% de la production minière de tungstène et plus de 80 % des opérations de raffinage. En 2024, plus d'un quart de l'approvisionnement américain provenait de Chine, selon les services géologiques américains (USGS). Troisième importateur mondial de tungstène, les États-Unis ne produisent pas de minerai de tungstène sur leur sol. Ils misent sur le recyclage, et la transformation locale, comme l'illustre la subvention accordée à une société texane, Melt Technologies, pour soutenir l'installation pilote de production de matériaux en carbure de tungstène.  Suite au renforcement des liens commerciaux entre Washington et Kigali, les États-Unis viennent aussi de recevoir ce mois d'octobre leur première cargaison de concentré de tungstène rwandais issu de la mine de Nyakabingo exploitée par Trinity Metals. Le Rwanda produit moins de 2% du tungstène mondial, mais dans la crise actuelle, chaque tonne commercialisée, hors du circuit chinois, devient précieuse. L'Europe mieux lotie ? À la différence des États-Unis, l'Europe produit du minerai en Autriche, au Portugal et en Espagne, mais elle ne maîtrise pas suffisamment les étapes de raffinage et de traitement, ce qui l'oblige à importer 80% du tungstène raffiné dont elle a besoin.  Les restrictions à l'exportation imposées par la Chine ont eu un impact sur les importations nettes européennes : elles ont baissé de 60% sur les oxydes sur le premier semestre 2025 par rapport à 2024, de 45% sur les carbures de tungstène et de 20% sur le ferrotungstène, selon des données d'Eurostat.  Tout l'enjeu pour l'Europe est de recycler plus. Sa marge de progrès est encore grande, relève l'Ofremi, à condition qu'elle arrive à freiner l'appétit de la Chine qui a intensifié ses importations de concentrés et de déchets métalliques pour faire tourner son industrie manufacturière et pour capter des parts de marché de la fabrication des produits semi-finis. 70% des produits en fin de vie ne sont pas recyclés – par exemple, les pièces d'usure et de coupe intégrés aux outils industriels –, « pourtant le tungstène se recycle très bien et l'Europe détient des capacités performantes » relève l'Ofremi.
