Welcome to episode 467 of Growers Daily! We cover: Today we are talking about Low Key Farm Tools that Work Hard in the Market Garden (starting with important pocket-size tools) and we're talking BATS! We are a Non-Profit!
In this presentation, we take a deep dive into the 300-year history of mobile surgery supporting land campaigns — from Dominique Larrey's ambulance volantes through the Letterman system, Arnhem, the Falklands, Mali, and the current Russia-Ukraine war. Drawing on rare surgical memoirs, battle maps, and personal accounts, the discussion extracts the recurring problems that technology has never fully solved: logistics drag, extended timelines, signature management, and the tension between mobility and capability.We then turn to the horizon. In an era of mosaic warfare and large-scale combat operations, medicine cannot remain a drag factor. The talk explores contractile and expandable surgical systems, single-surgeon reach, austere armored resuscitation teams, underground and containerized facilities, emissions control, and how we expand the surgical workforce under resource constraints while still doing the most for the most.Whether you are preparing for LSCO, SOF support, or prolonged field care in denied environments, the hard-won lessons of the past remain the best preparation for the fight ahead.Key TakeawaysMobile surgery is not new — Larrey, Guthrie, Pirogov, and Letterman already solved (and documented) many of the mobility and triage problems we still face.Institutional memory fades fast. Rare single-edition war surgery texts must be digitized and pushed into training pipelines before the lessons are watered down.In mosaic warfare the linear Role 1–4 model is insufficient. Surgical capability must become a mesh: dispersed, diggable, low-signature, and able to expand or contract with the fight.Big fixed facilities and large tented Role 2/3s become high-value targets. Single-surgeon or small polyvalent teams, pre-dug containers, underground sites, and armored austere teams offer greater survivability and shorter wounding-to-surgery times.Blood, sterilizing capacity, anesthetic volume, and outflow remain the greatest logistic constraints. Expectation management and robust triage (including expectant) will be non-negotiable.Capability can be extended by bringing registrars, ODPs/CRNA-equivalents, and well-trained medics further forward earlier — but this requires deliberate peacetime training and wartime derogations.Command and control, decision-making loops, and the ability to cache or hand off casualties must be rehearsed now, not improvised under fire.Chapters00:00 – Introduction & Scope: 300 Years of Mobile Surgery02:00 – Institutional Memory, Rare Texts & the Risk of Forgetting05:25 – Dominique Larrey & the Birth of the Ambulance Volante07:00 – Guthrie, Napoleonic Lessons & Early British Mobility07:40 – Crimea, Pirogov's Forward Teams & Brunel's Prefabs08:15 – The Letterman System & the American Civil War08:50 – World War I: Auto-Chir, Operating Cars & the Limits of Static Warfare11:15 – Spanish Civil War: Civilian Surgeons & Fluid Fronts12:00 – World War II Desert, SAS & the Reality of Extreme Isolation13:40 – Arnhem, Market Garden & Improvised Care Under Fire16:00 – Varsity, Chindits & the Logistics Drag of Jungle Warfare18:00 – Falklands, Gulf War, Mali & Modern Mobility Challenges19:50 – Ukraine: Extended Timelines, Targeting of Medical Assets & Aged Injuries20:50 – Horizon Scan: Mosaic Warfare & Contractile Surgical Systems22:00 – Dispersion, Digging In, Underground Facilities & Signature Management24:00 – Capability Extenders, Team Composition & Decision-Making Under Constraint25:30 – Logistics, Blood, Sterilization & the Middle Ground Between Fixed and Tiny Teams27:00 – Closing Thoughts & QuestionsFollow @prolonged_field_care and visit prolongedfieldcare.org for more austere and prolonged field care education.

New research shows campylobacter - which causes gastro-intestinal illness in humans - is becoming more resistant to antibiotics as the number of intensive chicken farms increases. The research, led by scientists at Oxford University, found the number of strains of the bacterium was growing globally, with evolution advancing the most effective of them.This week we're celebrating Farmwatch, where our BBC Local Radio stations in England are highlighting farming stories in their communities. Lush Greens is a Community Market Garden situated in Bristol and surrounded by houses, that each week provides 60 families with fresh food grown on the two-acre site. It's part of a community supported agricultural scheme, which allows people to pay what they can afford.And we celebrate 50 years of the National Wildlife Management Centre in Gloucestershire. It traps and tests wild badgers to build up a picture of habits and populations, to help understand the devastating disease Bovine TB, which affects both wildlife and livestock.

Wyobraźcie sobie armię, która miała być nie do zatrzymania… a poddaje się po kilku dniach. 80 tysięcy żołnierzy składa broń, bo ktoś „na górze” kompletnie zignorował mapy i raporty wywiadu. To nie jest opowieść o słabych państwach – to wstydliwa historia największych potęg świata.W tym odcinku analizuję 5 największych katastrof aliantów w II wojnie światowej. Od dżungli Filipin, przez „niezdobytą” twierdzę Singapur, aż po krwawe plaże Dieppe i tragiczny finał operacji Market Garden. Dowiesz się, dlaczego nowoczesne czołgi ugrzęzły w zwykłym żwirze i jak rowery pokonały imperium, nad którym nigdy nie zachodziło słońce.To historia o tym, że na wojnie arogancja bywa groźniejsza od kul wroga.PARTNER ODCINKA: Odcinek powstał we współpracy z Wydawnictwem Bellona, nakładem którego ukazuje się kultowa i fenomenalna seria „Żółty Tygrys”.

Welcome to episode 364 of Growers Daily! We cover: what the next month looks like on my farm and some related topics from episodes from other months on my farm. We are a Non-Profit!
After the success of the D-Day landings in France and the break out from the Normandy area, momentum was on the side of the Allies. The German Army was being pushed back across a wide front and had yet to put up a resistance capable of halting the advance. Confidence was sky-high and the Allies thought ending the war by Christmas of 1945 was a real possibility. All that was needed was a corridor into Germany itself. The Siegfried Line limited the routes available to move armor so any and all options were being considered. Bernard Montgomery had an idea to Uno reverse card Hitler and march back along the route through Belgium the Nazi's had used to invade France. The problem with this plan's success was completely contingent on the capture of 8 or 9 bridges along the route...all currently in enemy hands. The two most crucial bridges across the largest waterways just happened to be the furthest behind enemy lines. You'd think with so many things that could go wrong this plan would be scrapped right....right? Well instead more than 41,000 airborne troops were dropped via plane or glider behind enemy lines to capture key bridges while a ground forces would race to through the area those men captured. Everything relied on timing. Towns had to be captured and secured before the armored convoy could pass through so any delays meant that Allied troops dropped further away would be on their own against what turned out to be a much stronger German force than anticipated. Market Garden was not destined to succeed but that didn't stop the men of the Airborne from giving everything they had trying to make it. Support the show

Text me a message!Today's episode comes to you from Charlotte Vermont where we visit with Katie Rase Seward from Head Over Fields Farm. Katie Rose has been farming for 10 years and half of those are here on her home farm. She sells organic veg from about 5 acres in production with several high tunnels through a retail year round farm stand, CSA, wholesale, and farmers markets. We start off with a winter tour of the farm after some fresh January snow where she shares about growing winter greens, getting water on the farm, and growing in varying soil conditions across the sloping landscape. We then pull up a stool in the wash pack and talk about how she got into ag, the challenges of starting a diversified veg farm in the 2020's and how friends and mentors helped her through the growing pains she experienced while building up this farm business.

Text me a message!Today's episode comes to you from Shrewsbury Vermont where we visit with Jess and Connor of Stones Throw Farmstead. They are young farmers who are in their third season after moving to Vermont and focused on building up a 1 acre market garden to be part of the community and support the local farmers markets. We start off by looking at the farm stand, microgreens set-up, and how they've laid out their farm. They utilize several cat tunnels, inter cropping, and managing it with hand tools. We then sit down and learn a bit more about where they got their farming backgrounds, why they got into agriculture and why they chose to settle in Vermont.

La operación Market Garden (17 al 25 de septiembre de 1944) fue una operación militar de las Fuerzas Aliadas durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, involucrando a 100 000 soldados. Fue la mayor operación aerotransportada aliada, cuyo objetivo táctico era capturar una serie de puentes sobre los principales ríos de los Países Bajos (bajo ocupación alemana). La Operación fue también el mayor fracaso militar de los Aliados en la contienda con Alemania. Se planeaba ocupar los puentes con fuerzas aerotransportadas combinadas con unidades blindadas terrestres. Una vez ocupados estos puentes, se crearía un corredor a través del cual las fuerzas aliadas podrían cruzar el río Rin, la última barrera natural antes de entrar en Alemania. El alcance de la Operación Market Garden la hace comparable con el desembarco de Normandía. La Operación estaba planeada para dar el golpe definitivo a Alemania, que pusiera fin a la guerra en 1944. Los Aliados consiguieron tomar exitosamente los primeros puentes, pero el resultado global de la Operación fue un rotundo fracaso, al no poder ocupar el puente final en Arnhem. La contraofensiva alemana destruyó la 1ª División Aerotransportada británica, además de causar más bajas a los Aliados que las que tuvieron durante la invasión de Normandía. La derrota aliada es considerada la última de las grandes victorias tácticas del Tercer Reich en la campaña occidental y la guerra en Europa finalizó siete meses después.
Winter Combat at Geilenkirchen: Mud, Mines, and Psychological Toll — James Holland — Following the failed Market Garden airborne operation, Holland describes the Sherwood Rangers' grueling winter battle at Geilenkirchensupporting the inexperienced U.S. 84th Division in harsh operational conditions. Holland emphasizes the brutal physical environment wherein mud and saturated terrain severely limited tank maneuverability and operational effectiveness, while psychological stress accumulated among commanders like John Semken, who survived multiple mine explosions and witnessed repeated traumatic losses. Holland documents the compounding physical and psychological exhaustion characterizing winter combat operations and the systematic attrition afflicting both personnel and equipment.

When 35,000 Allied paratroopers dropped into Holland in September 1944, four Australians from opposite corners of the continent found themselves at the heart of one of World War Two's most catastrophic operations.In this remarkable episode, Mat McLachlan reveals the forgotten Australian stories of Operation Market Garden. Through authentic accounts and personal testimonies, we follow Keith Prowd from Gympie as his burning bomber falls from the sky at 550 feet; Alan Wood from Sydney, typing dispatches while German mortars explode around him; John Hackett from Perth, leading bayonet charges before being hidden by three Dutch sisters who risk everything to save him; and Tom Hall from Melbourne, whose Typhoon rockets try desperately to keep Hell's Highway open.From Prowd's Death March through frozen Poland to Hackett's months in hiding during the Hunger Winter, these four men experienced Market Garden from every angle - in the air, on the ground, and through the typewriter keys that would preserve its history. Their stories capture not just the military disaster, but the extraordinary humanity that emerged from catastrophe.Why did the de Nooij sisters risk execution to hide a stranger? How did Alan Wood keep typing as the battle raged? What drove Keith Prowd's mates to carry him through freezing temperatures when dropping him would save their own lives? Mat explores these questions through the actual words of the men who were there.A powerful testament to the Australians who fought at Arnhem - and the Dutch civilians who saved them."If in years to come any man says to you, 'I fought with the Arnhem airborne force,' take your hat off to him and buy him a drink." - Alan Wood, September 1944Episode Length: 24 minutesFeatures: First-hand accounts from Keith Prowd's 2003 interview, excerpts from personal memoirs and on-location insights from Arnhem and OosterbeekPresenter: Mat McLachlanProducer: Jess StebnickiReady to walk in the footsteps of heroes?
