This month, on Laura Flanders & Friends, we're taking a closer look at criminal justice—through the lens of abolition, accountability, and the power of the creative arts to tell fuller, truer stories.  This week we'll explore a new documentary, CYCLE, that's breaking the silence around police killings. Subscribe to Laura on Substack:  https://lauraflanders.substack.com/ Description: Would we know from our media that over 1,000 people are killed by police every year in the U.S.? The stories of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor are exceptions, but for the victims we don't hear about, there's CYCLE. The newly-released investigative feature documentary from LionArt Media focuses on the 2019 killing of Ty'rese West, an 18-year-old Black teenager from Racine, Wisconsin who was shot to death after being pulled over by a Mount Pleasant police officer for riding a bicycle with no headlights. No videos were taken, the details of West's death were withheld from the community and the subsequent police report. Made in close collaboration with West's mother, Monique West, the film follows the story of Ty'rese's death and the lawsuit that ensued. CYCLE is an invitation, “. . . to interrupt the silence that follows so many cases that never go viral — cases where there's no footage, no public pressure, and no accountability,” say director Laura Dyan Kezman and co-director William Howell, both Racine natives. Kezman is an award-winning director, DP, and editor, and the founder of LionArt Media committed to telling bold, socially driven stories that examine justice, culture, and civic engagement. Howell is a cinematographer, editor, and director based in Milwaukee. He was the cinematographer of ‘The Rise and Fall of Coo Coo Cal' and the director of the 2020 film ‘You Don't Know Me'. Join the CYCLE directors and Laura Flanders for this powerful conversation on police accountability and community action, plus a commentary on the media quiet about Trump's massive military build-up in the Caribbean. “. . . We started this film in 2019 with the intention of not making an angry film, but we didn't quite know what the film needed to be yet. Then COVID hit, Ahmaud Arbery was killed, and then Breonna Taylor was killed, and then George Floyd was killed . . . We felt it then, that this was something so much bigger than us in terms of us telling Tyrese's story in that moment.” - Laura Dyan Kezman “The call to action, that's when I see, more than anything, that we achieved our goal. People are not leaving these theaters angry . . . They're leaving and saying, what can we do? What can I do? What can we do together as people to help create this change?” - William Howell Guests: • William Howell: Co-Director, CYCLE • Laura Dyan Kezman: Director, Editor & Producer, CYCLE   Watch the special report on YouTube; PBS World Channel Sundays 11:30am ET, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Vitalize Seed, Grandpa Ray Outdoors, Northwoods Whitetail, Real World Wildlife Products This podcast episode delves into the intricacies of managing hunting properties, focusing on food plots, soil health, and the common mistakes landowners make. The host and guests share insights on the importance of soil testing, proper planting techniques, and the significance of timing and seed selection in achieving successful food plots. The conversation emphasizes the need for a holistic approach to land management, considering factors like soil temperature, depth, and the diversity of plant species to maximize hunting success. Takeaways Building relationships with clients enhances the consulting experience. Soil biology is crucial for seed germination and plant growth. Random seed distribution can be beneficial for food plots. Timing and depth of planting significantly affect crop success. Understanding seed quality is essential for effective planting. Soil tests are necessary to determine nutrient needs. Small plots require careful plant selection to avoid overgrazing. Diversity in plant species can improve food plot resilience. Avoiding blind fertilizer applications can prevent nutrient imbalances. Managing deer density is critical for food plot success.

TL;DRIn this episode of the Mama Earth Talk podcast, host Mariska Nell talks with Christy Wilhelmi, founder of Gardenerd and author of five books, who grows 50–70% of her family's produce in under 300 square feet using bio-intensive gardening. The big takeaway: healthy soil, not chemicals, gadgets, or acreage, is what makes growing your own food work.Have you ever wondered if you could actually grow your own food, even with a tiny backyard, a balcony, or barely any space at all? In this episode of the Mama Earth Talk podcast, host Mariska Nell talks with Christy Wilhelmi, founder of Gardenerd and author of five books, who grows 50-70% of her family's produce in under 300 square feet using bio-intensive gardening. The big takeaway: healthy soil - not chemicals, gadgets, or acreage - is what makes growing your own food work.IN THIS EPISODEMariska and Christy dig into how bio-intensive gardening grows serious amounts of food in tiny spaces, why you should lab-test your soil for heavy metals before planting in the ground, the truth about electric indoor "composters", and how community gardens build both food security and human connection. Christy also shares her journey from theatre graduate to top-ranked gardening podcaster, her Food Inc. 2 panel takeaways on fixing the food system, and her upcoming cozy mystery Bolting to Seed.KEY TAKEAWAYSBio-intensive gardening grows more food in less space with less water, land, and labour than conventional rows - it is how Christy grows 50-70% of her family's produce in under 300 square feet.- Before planting in the ground, get a lab soil test that includes heavy metals: beets, chard, and spinach can pull lead from contaminated soil into your food. A full test costs about $95 in the US, less near universities.- Electric indoor "composters" don't compost - they dehydrate scraps into "potpourri" with no microbial life, and rehydrating the output can attract pests.- Healthy, microbially rich soil prevents most pest and disease problems before they start - steward the soil and the garden largely takes care of itself.- The answer to "how do I kill this bug?" is an ecosystem: pollinator-friendly plants attract predator insects that control pests for you.- If you can't grow your own food, shopping at farmers markets and buying organic "puts your money where your mouth is" - demand shapes the food system.TIMESTAMPS[00:00] Could you grow your own food - even with barely any space?[02:45] Welcome, Christy Wilhelmi[03:01] Earth Day, 30+ years vegetarian, and how Christy's journey began[04:12] Building Gardenerd - and pitching a community-garden show to PBS SoCal[05:29] "One garden at a time": the antidote to climate hopelessness[07:15] Bio-intensive gardening: 50-70% of the family's produce in under 300 sq ft[09:15] Lead in the soil: why (and how) to test before you plant[11:21] "How do I kill this bug?" - building an ecosystem instead[13:30] Soil is your biggest investment[15:32] Food Inc. 2, the farm bill, and voting with your wallet[18:44] Can home gardens really move the needle?[20:06] 28 years in a community garden: what it teaches about people[21:37] The indoor composter myth ("it's potpourri, not compost")[25:02] Garden Variety and the new cozy mystery Bolting to Seed (out June 1)[29:42] The Final FiveABOUT CHRISTY WILHELMIChristy Wilhelmi is the founder of Gardenerd, the ultimate resource for garden nerds, and the author of five books including High-Yield Small-Space Organic Gardening and the novel Garden Variety. She grows 50-70% of her family's produce in less than 300 square feet, teaches organic gardening classes in California, and reaches gardeners worldwide through her top-ranked podcast and YouTube channel. Her new cozy mystery, Bolting to Seed, is out June 1 and available for pre-order.Website: gardenerd.com | Instagram & TikTok: @gardenerd1 | Facebook: gardenerd.comLINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONEDLiving Lighter - Mariska's free waste-reduction course: [INSERT LINK]- Gardenerd - blog, podcast, YouTube, classes: gardenerd.com- Bolting to Seed by Christy Wilhelmi (cozy mystery, out June 1 - pre-order at gardenerd.com)- Garden Variety by Christy Wilhelmi (novel)- Greg Peterson - Urban Farm U (fruit tree classes)- Kiss the Ground (Netflix documentary)- Food Inc. 2 (documentary)FAQCan you really grow your own food in a small space?Yes. According to Christy Wilhelmi on the Mama Earth Talk podcast, bio-intensive gardening - compact, efficient growing in raised beds - lets her grow 50-70% of her family's produce in under 300 square feet, using less water, land, and labour than conventional gardening.Should I test my soil before growing vegetables?If you're planting directly in the ground, yes. Lab soil tests reveal heavy metals like lead, which crops such as beets, chard, and spinach can draw into your food. A comprehensive test costs about $95 in the US. Raised beds with clean soil are the alternative.Do indoor electric composters actually work?No. They dehydrate food scraps rather than composting them - there is no microbial activity, and the dried output can attract ants and other pests when rehydrated. Real composting needs living microbes.What's the easiest way to start organic gardening?Focus on soil first. Healthy, nutrient-rich, microbially active soil prevents most pest and disease problems, reduces watering and feeding, and matters more than any product or gadget.QUOTE OF THE EPISODE"The one thing that's going extinct faster than anything else is our topsoil.

Since then, he's built the Anomalous America series, going state by state through old articles about buried cities, giant skeletons, canal systems lined with radium-impregnated ceramics, petrified forests, and mummies pulled from caves and mounds in the middle of the country.Our conversation moves through the collapse of the standard American narrative. The insane asylums that dwarfed every Capitol building. The tunnels dynamited during construction of the St. Louis bridge.

This month, on Laura Flanders & Friends, we turn to the state of journalism—at a moment of deep disruption, consolidation, and consequence.  But journalists aren't simply standing by—they're pushing back, reimagining their work, and, in many cases, taking matters into their own hands.   This week we'll hear from the long-running independent collective Third World Newsreel, still thriving in an era some are calling “media carnage,” showing what it looks like to endure—and to resist. This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description: It's almost unheard of for an independent media collective to survive as long as Third World Newsreel has. Since 1968, they have chronicled some of the most pivotal movements in human history and continue to expand on their collection of over 700 titles. There's lots to learn about how they've adapted through technological revolutions, political persecutions, philanthropic booms and busts — and how the oldest media arts collective in the U.S. is making do in today's “media carnage”, as Laura Flanders puts it. Joining us are JT Takagi, an independent filmmaker, sound recordist, and the longtime executive director of Third World Newsreel. Tami Gold is an artist and activist whose documentaries grapple with everything from imperialism to sex work. Her films include My Country Occupied, Another Brother and Land Rain Fire among many more. Puerto Rican-born Juan Carlos Dávila works in film as well as TV, where he reports on social movements around environmentalism, militarism and the struggles of the working class on the island. His films include The Stand-By Generation, Viequez: An Endless Battle and Drills of Liberation. Join us as we look at the past, present and future of Third World Newsreel and ask how film can be used as a tool for organizing. “I'd say we feel more urgent now than ever before. Every day there's something happening that makes it clear that our rights and liberties, and people's lives all over the world are at stake. Not being in touch with the history and media that shows the truth of what's going on is really decimating people's ability to, as Juan said, know what to follow and what to do.” - JT Takagi “We need to retake the theater, the physical space that is being ignored by the corporations. Perhaps now that is the opportunity that we have . . . A theater is being rented by people who are organizers, and they're using their collective spirit and know-how to organize huge, huge crowds to come.” - Tami Gold “People can shoot stuff with the phone . . . I see a lot in Puerto Rico that people are still wanting to produce with the corporate industry standards. Many young filmmakers like myself tend to think that we need so many personnel to be doing films. Right now we can actually make films with less.” - Juan Carlos Dávila Guests: •  Juan Carlos Dávila: Documentary Filmmaker, Multimedia Journalist, Puerto Rico Correspondent, Democracy Now! •  Tami Gold: Filmmaker, Artist, Activist •  JT Takagi: Executive Director, Third World Newsreel   Watch on YouTube this episode that includes video clips referenced in this episode from Third World Newsreel; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

The Midwest has long been a farming powerhouse, including productive corn and soybean fields as far as the eye can see. At the second annual XPRT Farm Field Day in Missouri Valley, Iowa, growers and industry members gathered to see crops powered by Redox and hear about the decades of science that backs this successful agronomy. “The difference that Redox is making in the Midwest is absolutely tremendous,” said Redox Agronomist Zach Carlson. “It has absolutely been adopted very, very quickly.”One attendee was Tom Haase with TN Ag in Nebraska, a grower, crop advisor and distributor. A top priority is increasing efficiency with nitrogen. “The more money we can save the farmer, the more return on investment he has on the field.”A key component to better optimizing nitrogen, which has multiple benefits, is the breakthrough product, RDX-N®, a patented and potent biostimulant that took years to perfect.  Grower Chris Duffy in New York also attended the field day. He said he has significantly increased his use of Redox products, and the results to date have been very promising.“Soil health starts with having a healthy plant,” remarked Kelly Roder of Green Key Ag in Iowa. Roder and Noah Fedders from Green Key were also on hand. “A healthier plant means the less fertilizer used, because we are mineralizing better. It's a spiral up verses a spiral down.”Find out more about the 500-acre XPRT Farm at redoxgrows.com/xprt/.

Vitalize Seed, Grandpa Ray Outdoors, Northwoods Whitetail, Real World Wildlife Products In this episode of Maximize Your Hunt, host Jon Teater and guest experts discuss the intricacies of managing hunting properties, focusing on food plots, plant diversity, and the importance of questioning conventional wisdom in hunting strategies. They emphasize the need for ecological food plots that attract deer throughout the season and the significance of understanding soil biology and plant interactions. This conversation delves into the intricacies of managing food plots for deer attraction, focusing on the use of perennial crops, liquid fertilizers, and the importance of soil health. The speakers share insights on specific plant traits that enhance deer attraction throughout the season, emphasizing the role of nutrient-rich soils and plant diversity in creating sustainable food sources for wildlife. The discussion also touches on innovative practices like compost teas and the synergistic relationships between different plant species. Takeaways Questioning everything is essential for growth. Food plots should function as ecosystems, not just attractive plants. Diversity in planting allows deer to select preferred food. Annual clovers provide high nutrition in early spring. Soil health is crucial for successful food plots. Seasonal attraction is key for effective hunting strategies. Understanding local deer behavior is vital for management. Planting blends can enhance food plot effectiveness. Monitoring deer activity helps assess food plot success. Long-lasting attraction requires strategic plant selection. Perennial crops like clover and chicory are effective for deer attraction. Liquid fertilizers can enhance plant growth even in drought conditions. Soil health is crucial for producing nutrient-rich plants. Diversity in plant species can lead to better wildlife management. Understanding plant maturity can extend attraction periods for deer. Compost teas can improve soil health and plant sugar content. Plants can complement each other in nutrient uptake and growth. Timing and method of fertilizer application are key to successful food plots. Deer are more attracted to nutrient-dense plants. Effective food plots require a holistic approach to soil and plant management.

This month, on Laura Flanders & Friends, we turn to the state of journalism—at a moment of deep disruption, consolidation, and consequence.  But journalists aren't simply standing by—they're pushing back, reimagining their work, and, in many cases, taking matters into their own hands.   This week we'll hear from the long-running independent collective Third World Newsreel, still thriving in an era some are calling “media carnage,” showing what it looks like to endure—and to resist. This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description: It's almost unheard of for an independent media collective to survive as long as Third World Newsreel has. Since 1968, they have chronicled some of the most pivotal movements in human history and continue to expand on their collection of over 700 titles. There's lots to learn about how they've adapted through technological revolutions, political persecutions, philanthropic booms and busts — and how the oldest media arts collective in the U.S. is making do in today's “media carnage”, as Laura Flanders puts it. Joining us are JT Takagi, an independent filmmaker, sound recordist, and the longtime executive director of Third World Newsreel. Tami Gold is an artist and activist whose documentaries grapple with everything from imperialism to sex work. Her films include My Country Occupied, Another Brother and Land Rain Fire among many more. Puerto Rican-born Juan Carlos Dávila works in film as well as TV, where he reports on social movements around environmentalism, militarism and the struggles of the working class on the island. His films include The Stand-By Generation, Viequez: An Endless Battle and Drills of Liberation. Join us as we look at the past, present and future of Third World Newsreel and ask how film can be used as a tool for organizing. “I'd say we feel more urgent now than ever before. Every day there's something happening that makes it clear that our rights and liberties, and people's lives all over the world are at stake. Not being in touch with the history and media that shows the truth of what's going on is really decimating people's ability to, as Juan said, know what to follow and what to do.” - JT Takagi “We need to retake the theater, the physical space that is being ignored by the corporations. Perhaps now that is the opportunity that we have . . . A theater is being rented by people who are organizers, and they're using their collective spirit and know-how to organize huge, huge crowds to come.” - Tami Gold “People can shoot stuff with the phone . . . I see a lot in Puerto Rico that people are still wanting to produce with the corporate industry standards. Many young filmmakers like myself tend to think that we need so many personnel to be doing films. Right now we can actually make films with less.” - Juan Carlos Dávila Guests: •  Juan Carlos Dávila: Documentary Filmmaker, Multimedia Journalist, Puerto Rico Correspondent, Democracy Now! •  Tami Gold: Filmmaker, Artist, Activist •  JT Takagi: Executive Director, Third World Newsreel   Watch on YouTube this episode that includes video clips referenced in this episode from Third World Newsreel; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

A century of conventional farming has left our planet with sick soil, accelerating the interlinked crises of food security, biodiversity loss, water pollution, and climate change. In his new book, ReGen: A New Future for Farming, Food, and Health, David R. Montgomery lays out a practical and productive vision for recovering soil health and safeguarding the future of food. The answer: soil-building regenerative farming. In exploring this much-needed turning point for agriculture, Montgomery marshals more than a decade of research, interviewing innovative farmers and seeing firsthand how they restored degraded farms around the world. Breaking down common myths around conventional and organic farming, animal agriculture, and plant-based diets, the book frames ten policy recommendations for sustainably nourishing the world. As Montgomery shows, reducing tillage, laying off synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, growing a diversity of crops, and getting livestock back on the land can reverse centuries of soil degradation and harvest nutrient-dense food. Succinct, accessible, and urgent, ReGen points the way to a healthier, more resilient world. David R. Montgomery is a professor at the University of Washington and a MacArthur Fellow. He is the author and coauthor of several previous books about soil and agriculture, including Dirt, Growing a Revolution, and What Your Food Ate.

Everyone teaches the parable of the sower wrong.They say three of the four soils failed. Three-quarters of the sowing came to nothing. That is not what happened.God said His Word never returns empty. This is the Son of God sowing the Word of God. Not one seed failed. The seed did its job every single time. The seed was never the variable.God said His Word never returns empty. This is the Son of God sowing the Word of God. Not one seed failed. The seed did its job every single time. The seed was never the variable.The dirt was.The seed isn't on trial in this parable. You are. Four men hear the exact same truth and get four completely different outcomes, because of what was already in the ground before the seed ever landed. That ground is your operating system. The root system installed in you long before you had a say.In this teaching I walk through:The four kinds of men in the parable, and how to tell which one is you.Why the careless man who shrugs off the Word isn't neutral. There's no neutral with Jesus.Why the thorn-choked man is the driven believer whose own ambition is quietly strangling the Word in his chest. Not sin. Success.Why even the good soil runs at thirty, sixty, or a hundredfold, and why you go all in everywhere else but run thirtyfold with God and call it balance.And the turn most preachers skip: your soil is not your sentence. Soil is dirt, and dirt can be worked.The seed was never the problem. The seed is perfect. It's time to deal with your dirt.FREE DOWNLOAD: Built to Dominate breaks down the 3 lies that keep good Christian men stuck and choked, and helps you spot which soil has been running you.

Key Takeaways & Highlights Mammoth P Relaunch & Product Updates The Return: After stepping away in late 2022 and spending three years working with the Microbial Mass Pro team, Colin bought back and officially relaunched the Mammoth brand. ~70% Price Reduction: Streamlined, scalable manufacturing allowed Colin to drop the price by roughly 70% compared to legacy pricing, making it significantly more accessible for all growers. 3-Year Shelf Life: A subtle reformulation extends the active, non-spore liquid shelf life out to three full years. Application Rate: Continuous weekly applications at 0.6 mL per gallon throughout veg and bloom yield the best results across all substrates (living soil, hydro, coco, and rockwool). Mammoth P vs. Microbial Mass Pro Mammoth P: Uses active (motile), non-spore-forming bacteria selected directly from natural soil samples to liberate phosphorus and trace metals like iron. It is carried in an organic, alfalfa-derived liquid medium. Microbial Mass Pro: Uses dormant Bacillus endospores suspended in a clean, synthetic-like solution. While Bacillus spores require 24–48 hours to germinate once applied, active motile strains start functioning immediately upon contact with the root zone. The Power of Consortia Microbes in nature do not work in isolation. Multi-species consortia offer synergistic functionality (1+1+1+1 = 5, 6, or 7) and greater ecological adaptability across changing pH, moisture levels, and soil micro-pores than single-species products. Addressing Common Grower Myths Brewing into Compost Tea: Discouraged. Tank brewing introduces unpredictable competitive dynamics, risks losing the intended consortia balance, and isn't necessary given the product's concentration and price point. The Triacontanol Myth: Alfalfa meal is used strictly as a carbon and nitrogen source to feed the bacteria, undergoing heavy boiling and filtration to sterilize the media. Independent testing confirmed triacontanol levels were untraceable or present in negligible parts-per-billion amounts—it is not the driver of performance. Pathogen Concerns: Colin debunked rumors regarding human pathogens, explaining strain specificity (the same way safe E. coli strains differ from harmful ones) and highlighting full regulatory approval across international agricultural departments.

Vitalize Seed, Grandpa Ray Outdoors, Northwoods Whitetail, Real World Wildlife Products In this episode of Maximize Your Hunt, host Jon Teater discusses the importance of land management and food plot strategies with various experts. The conversation emphasizes the significance of plant diversity and species interaction in creating effective food plots that attract deer. Experts share insights on the ideal blends of plants, the role of soil health, and the benefits of diverse plantings for both deer attraction and ecological balance. The episode provides practical advice for hunters and land managers looking to optimize their hunting properties. Takeaways The best time to consult on land management is before hunting season. Plant diversity enhances food plot effectiveness and deer attraction. Different plants can complement each other biologically in food plots. Soil health is crucial for maintaining productive food plots. Diverse blends can extend the attractiveness of food plots throughout the season. Understanding plant interactions is key to successful food plot management. Annual clovers can provide benefits similar to biennials in certain conditions. Healthy soil should always have something growing to support microbial life. Diversity in food plots can help balance deer diets and improve herd health. Using the right planting techniques is essential for maximizing germination rates.   Tags hunting, land management, food plots, plant diversity, deer attraction, habitat improvement, soil health, wildlife management, hunting strategies, agriculture   Social Links https://vitalizeseed.com https://grandparayoutdoors.com/ https://www.realworldwildlifeproducts.com/ https://www.northwoodswhitetails.com/ https://whitetaillandscapes.com/ https://www.facebook.com/whitetaillandscapes/ https://www.instagram.com/whitetail_landscapes/?hl=en Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

When Jesus talked about the four types of soil, was He directing that toward an unbeliever hearing the Word?  Or was He describing the place that the seed would be planted, the church family that a new believer would become part of?  Brian Higbee challenges us to see that we may have some work to do as the Lord prepares the abundant harvest.  

Cover crops can protect and improve garden soil during the time of year when our gardens are resting. In this episode, Erin talks with Twinflower Wilkie, a WSU Extension Master Gardener in Ferry County, about how cover crops help retain moisture, protect soil from erosion, cycle nutrients, and build healthier soil. Twinflower also shares why cover crops can benefit pollinators and other beneficial wildlife, and why allowing your garden to go a little wild can be good for the garden and the creatures that depend on it. They discuss choosing and using cover crops in the home garden and simple ways gardeners can get started. For gardeners in Washington's dry eastern climate and beyond, cover crops offer a practical way to keep soil protected and productive while creating a more welcoming garden for wildlife.

It's another Listener Mail episode, and this week we've got a great mix of practical growing questions, organic growing, plant biology and, naturally, some completely unnecessary but extremely important debates! We discuss the best ways to deal with a calcium issue in an organic grow, including which amendments can help and how to avoid throwing unnecessary nutrients at your soil. We also look at why some cannabis strains begin forming and stacking buds much earlier than others, and what genetics, flowering behaviour and plant structure have to do with it. There's also a great discussion about outdoor defoliation, with growers debating whether removing leaves throughout flower is beneficial for airflow or whether the plant should simply be left alone to make and use its own energy. We also tackle the question of how to reuse and re-amend super soil after a grow without constantly paying to have it professionally tested, and what growers can look for themselves when deciding what their soil needs. And because this is Listener Mail, we couldn't possibly finish without answering the really important questions. Is a Jaffa Cake actually a cake or a biscuit? Which fictional universe would the panel live in for a week? And, perhaps most importantly, who taught the first teacher? Another relaxed episode full of growing knowledge, community questions, questionable philosophy and the usual High on Home Grown nonsense.

Beneath the shattered villages and scorched fields of southern Lebanon lies a quieter aftermath of war - contaminated land. Israel's war against Hezbollah in south Lebanon has poisoned soil and destroyed valuable ecosystems for generations to come. Soil samples of the land show high levels of heavy metals, the herbicide Glyphosate, and white phosphorus.Support public media with NPR+ and enjoy perks for over 25 podcasts like this one.

Get in touch - leave me a messageSoil health is starting to look less like an environmental side issue and more like infrastructure. The real question is whether regenerative agriculture can improve resilience and economics without asking farmers to absorb years of financial pain.My guest is Tim Weaver of Holganix, working at the intersection of soil health, regenerative agriculture and measurable environmental outcomes. We look at the pressures farmers and companies already recognise: volatile fertiliser costs, water scarcity, supply-chain risk, and the growing demand for credible soil carbon claims rather than estimates and greenwash.We examine what changes when soil outcomes can be measured using cores, probes, farm equipment data and satellite imagery; why AI still depends on having enough reliable data underneath it; and whether water may ultimately matter more than carbon. We also challenge the assumption that regenerative agriculture necessarily means lower profitability before the benefits arrive.Listen now to understand why soil is moving from the sustainability conversation into the risk, finance and infrastructure conversation, and what that could mean for farmers, companies and investors.Sign up to Climate Confident+ for deep dive analysis of the major climate and energy stories of the day.Support the showPodcast subscribersI'd like to sincerely thank this podcast's amazing subscribers:Anita KrajncCecilia SkarupaBen GrossJerry SweeneyAndreas WernerStephen CarrollRoger ArnoldAnd remember you too can Subscribe to the Podcast  - it is really easy and hugely important as it will enable me to continue to create more excellent Climate Confident episodes like this one, as well as give you access to the entire back catalog of Climate Confident episodes.

This episode pulls back the curtain on how creativity gets stifled—both in our early lives and inside our organizations—and explores practical ways to reclaim it. We start with the extraordinary journey of Ruth Asawa, whose education as an artist began in the unlikely setting of an internment camp, not a prestigious institution. Her story dismantles the widespread myth that creativity is a resource problem and reframes creativity as a function of permission and ownership.We then talk with Andrew Dietz about the lasting impact of early messages about creativity—how black-and-white thinking and the expectation of practicality can drive us away from our essential talents, and how to rethink risk, reward, and the definitions of success in creative careers.The conversation then shifts with Phil Le-Brun and Jana Werner, co-authors of The Octopus Organization, exploring why most organizations are structurally designed to kill innovation. Drawing inspiration from the octopus—an organism built around distributed intelligence—they offer a framework for building organizations that favor ownership, clarity, and relentless curiosity over permission and bureaucracy.Whether you're a leader seeking to unleash creative potential or an individual battling ingrained resistance, this episode offers sharp, practical insights for creating environments where innovation actually stands a chance.Five Key LearningsCreativity Thrives on Ownership, Not Resources: It's not budgets or prestige that foster creative breakthroughs, but rather spaces that privilege ownership and self-permission over institutional legitimacy.Black-and-White Thinking Blocks Progress: Both individuals and organizations default to binary thinking for comfort, but true creativity—and competitive advantage—lives in the complex grey area.Most Organizations are Wired to Squelch Innovation: Governance, permission layers, and centralized decision-making are relics of another era that actively impede adaptability and speed.Metrics Should Teach, Not Just Track: Effective teams use measures to learn and adjust, not just to hit vanity goals or reward process over impact.Safe Curiosity is the Soil for Innovation: Organizations that foster psychological safety and model vulnerability—from leadership down—consistently outperform those that only reward certainty and compliance.Get full interviews and bonus content for free!

Drawing on decades of research and practical field experience, the panel begins by examining large laboratory datasets that reveal substantial variation in trace mineral concentrations across forages and total mixed rations. These observations highlight the importance of understanding real-world variability rather than relying solely on average values when making nutritional decisions. (00:00–03:16) The discussion quickly moves into one of dairy nutrition's most debated topics: the reliability of TMR testing. While many nutritionists use TMR analyses as a quality control measure, others remain skeptical due to the challenges associated with obtaining representative samples from inherently heterogeneous rations. The panel agrees that TMR testing can provide valuable information, but only when consistent sampling protocols and proper laboratory procedures are followed. (03:16–06:46) Building on this theme, the group discusses mixer studies as a powerful quality control tool. By evaluating nutrient variation within a load and across multiple batches, producers and nutritionists can better assess feeding consistency, identify operational issues, and improve ration delivery accuracy. These studies often provide a more complete picture of feeding performance than a single feed sample alone. (06:46–12:12) A significant portion of the conversation focuses on trace mineral supplementation practices. The panel notes that although average mineral concentrations may appear appropriate on paper, many diets still contain excessive levels of trace minerals. Overfeeding can increase costs, contribute to nutrient antagonisms, impair rumen function, and raise concerns about toxicity. The experts emphasize the importance of balancing supplementation programs based on actual dietary contributions rather than adding large safety margins. (12:13–16:46) The discussion then shifts to the impact of soil contamination on forage analysis and nutrient interpretation. Soil contamination can dramatically influence ash concentrations and artificially inflate measured trace mineral levels, creating challenges for nutritionists attempting to accurately evaluate feed value. The panel highlights emerging approaches, including the use of carbon measurements as a more precise indicator of contamination, which may improve how forage quality is assessed in the future. (16:47–25:47) Regional differences in feed composition also receive considerable attention. Factors such as irrigation practices, soil characteristics, and co-product feeding programs can contribute to elevated sulfur and trace mineral concentrations in certain areas, increasing the risk of mineral antagonisms and affecting nutrient availability. Understanding these local influences is essential for developing effective mineral nutrition programs that are tailored to specific production environments. Looking ahead, the panel explores innovations that could transform feed evaluation and ration formulation. Topics include amino acid profiling, the industry's gradual move beyond crude protein as a primary nutritional metric, and the potential for artificial intelligence to improve predictions of forage quality and nutrient composition. These advances may provide nutritionists with more accurate tools for optimizing dairy cow performance and feed efficiency. (35:16–41:10) The episode concludes with a practical takeaway for dairy producers, nutritionists, and consultants: laboratory analyses and advanced technologies are most valuable when paired with a thorough understanding of feed variability and strong on-farm quality control practices. Whether evaluating trace minerals, interpreting forage analyses, or implementing new technologies, success ultimately depends on consistently managing variation throughout the feeding system.

In this episode of Maximize Your Hunt, host Jon Teater introduces a series focused on food plot seed choices, featuring insights from industry experts. The conversation emphasizes the importance of consulting in hunting property management, the principles behind creating effective seed blends, and the journey of various seed companies in the hunting industry. Listeners gain valuable knowledge on habitat improvement, soil health, and deer attraction strategies. In this conversation, the speakers delve into the principles of creating effective food plots, focusing on seed selection, genetics, and the importance of weatherproofing plots. They discuss the unique methodologies employed by different companies, particularly emphasizing the need for comprehensive coverage and the role of genetics in enhancing forage quality. The conversation also highlights the significance of feedback and testing in developing successful seed blends, showcasing a commitment to quality and effectiveness in wildlife management practices. Takeaways This podcast explores land management and hunting strategies. Consulting leads to greater success in hunting property management. Food plots are essential for designing a hunting property. Seed blends should focus on objectives like nutrient cycling. Diversity in food plots attracts deer effectively. Soil health is crucial for successful food plots. Understanding the home of the animal is key to habitat improvement. Testing and feedback are vital for developing seed blends. The journey of creating a seed company can be fulfilling. Continuous improvement is necessary in food plotting. I look at things differently than most people. We want to have complete coverage. You want to weatherproof your plots as much as you can. Healthy plants, healthy soil, healthy forages, healthy deer. We want to hear everything, the good, the bad and the ugly. The deer have to hit it, then they have to hit it hard. It's not complicated, it's not rocket science. We want as much tonnage as we can per acre. The industry focuses on a lot of fall focus. Ninety-five percent of what we test never makes it.   Tags hunting, land management, food plots, seed blends, deer attraction, ecological services, habitat improvement, consulting, whitetail deer, soil health food plots, seed selection, genetics, wildlife management, deer hunting, agricultural practices, sustainable farming, crop management, food plot strategies, land stewardship   Social Links https://vitalizeseed.com https://grandparayoutdoors.com/ https://www.realworldwildlifeproducts.com/ https://www.northwoodswhitetails.com/ https://whitetaillandscapes.com/ https://www.facebook.com/whitetaillandscapes/ https://www.instagram.com/whitetail_landscapes/?hl=en Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Andrea Stricker, Deputy Director at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, outlines the proliferation risks associated with a proposed US-Saudi nuclear cooperation agreement. She expresses concern over uranium enrichment on Saudi soil, which could enable a nuclear weapons pathway. Stricker warns that granting enrichment rights would destroy the "gold standard" for non-proliferation and likely trigger a nuclear arms race involving Turkey and Egypt. Although President Trump has added caveats regarding the Abraham Accords, Saudi Arabia has threatened to turn to China for technology. Stricker notes the deal faces a difficult 90-day congressional review starting in September. (7)1956 SEMINOLE (13.6 KT)

Chris Winters can tell you the truth about all of them.Electroculture has become a buzzword on Instagram, but almost everything circulating about it misses the actual mechanism. The people teaching it have never grown a paying crop with it, but Chris Winters has, for over a decade, on a working organic vegetable farm in Tennessee.Chris is the founder of The Fertile Current and a medical qigong doctor who spent his first years farming fighting nature, using blood meal, bone meal, and every conventional organic input, until a crisis of conscience forced him to rebuild his soil fertility from scratch with rock minerals, biochar, and antenna systems that collect atmospheric charge.What he found broke the story that most organic farmers accept as fact. Bigger yields. Longer harvest windows. Pest pressure dropping by 85%. His farm is now fully transitioning to research mode because the production side has started to feel almost too easy.We also get into radionics, weather modification, why Japanese beetles use their wings as an inner ear, and why he thinks the real fertility crisis is a power supply problem, in the soil and in us.You'll Learn:[0:00] Introduction[9:24] Your energetic connection to heaven and earth, and what fourth phase water reveals about Hadza hydration[31:31] How Chris's Nashville and Jamaica upbringing shaped his faith, and the beach hostage ordeal that followed[1:02:06] USDA organic labels don't matter, and the mistake of farming built on blood sacrifice[1:23:57] What electroculture actually is, and why the Instagram version gets it wrong[1:46:50] Cutting off the Strait of Hormuz symbolically means cutting off divine intelligence[2:03:45] How the antenna systems collect cations 15 feet up to power soil fertility[2:39:37] Why Japanese beetles vanish from low-voltage fields, and how bugs only attack already-weakened plants[3:05:14] How radionic field broadcasters power weather modification and Chris's training as a blind dowser[3:26:14] Medical Qigong, and why Chris pivoted his farm from vegetables to researchRelated The Way Forward Episodes:The 4th Phase of Water: The Blueprint for Biological Energy with Dr. Gerald Pollack | PodcastThought, Light & The Liquid Language of God with Veda Austin | PodcastPolarity Therapy, Dead Soil & Ayahuasca with Topher Gardner | PodcastThe Lies Modern Science Told Us About  Alchemy, Consciousness, & Quantum with Dr. Steven A.

While Jesus walked this earth, he taught us the truths of God and the secrets of living well. In just 3 years of ministry he said everything he needed to say, and he said it perfectly. Now, over 2000 years later, his words are our perfect guide for life. Some of Jesus’ teachings were on deeply spiritual things that he knew we would struggle to understand. Not all things needed to be understood, but for some things we would need to understand so we could live well. For these things, Jesus often taught in parables. Parables are stories. The word parable means “to throw alongside”. So, Jesus is teaching using a story thrown alongside a truth. These are earthly stories with Heavenly meaning. Today, we begin our study of the parables of Jesus. We will read the stories he told, understand them, and apply them to our lives so we grow and get better. Through these parables we will see how a holy God speaks to ordinary people with everyday stories we can see, understand and remember. Some things God says are mysteries and simply cannot be figured out – but these are not. God essentially leaned down and brought his wisdom in a way we would actually get it. (Now you will notice with these parables, they are often found in a few of the gospels. Remember the 4 gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are the accounts of 4 of Jesus’ disciples as they walked with him. They are retelling everything they saw, experienced, heard and learned from Jesus. So, you may read the same parable in the gospels and that’s why. For simplicity, I’ll just be choosing one of the gospel accounts and reading it. You could also study the other books to see if there’s any special differences noted by the authors.) Ready to get it? Let’s dive in to the Parables of Jesus! —————— Part 1: The Parable of the Sower Scripture: Matthew 13: 1-23 Here’s the setting. Jesus is in his 3 years of actively teaching and preaching here on earth and more and more people are beginning to follow him. On this particular day Jesus was staying at a house near the sea and when he walks outside a large crowd starts gathering around him. So, Jesus gets in a boat, goes out a little on the water and sits down in the boat to start teaching. The crowd of people stood on the beach to listen. First, just knowing that the King of the Universe, the Savior of the world, the divine Creator in human form didn’t choose a fancy synagogue like all the other teachers. He didn’t choose a formal stage or a platform. No, he chose a boat floating on the sea, wearing his ordinary robe and sandals like everyone else there that day. We see through this example that Jesus really didn’t come to judge the world, he came to save it. In humility, he met us right where we are to teach us the highest of lessons. And here, in this boat, is where Jesus begins teaching in parables – again earthly stories with heavenly meaning. “A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them. Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil, but when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away. Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.” That was Jesus’ story. But what was the point in this? Was he giving a gardening lesson? For some listening, it would seem like nothing more than that – but for those God was calling to follow him and setting apart as his people, he was speaking in a way they could truly understand. Everyone in this day understood farming. Everyone had to grow crops to survive. Their survival depended on a successful harvest. They knew seeds, they knew soils. And for those who were called as followers of God, he was about to open their minds to how his word works in their lives through the example of the sower, the seed and the soils. The disciples heard Jesus’ story and came to him asking why he was speaking in such a different way, then Jesus explains the story. The seed is the word of God. This seed falls on 4 different types of soil, and it is the soil that makes all the difference. It’s the same seed. The same sower. Different soil. ————— Soil #1: The Path Verse 19, “When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path.” Do you ever read your Bible, skim the words, get through the whole chapter so you can check the box, but not actually understand it? Yip, that’s seed hitting the soil along the path. That’s seed that won’t grow. That’s knowledge that quickly gets snatched up by the evil one. He swoops in like a bird and takes the surface level seed. Growing in God’s word isn’t about speed reading and getting through chapters. That’s just the path – that’s where everyone is walking – that’s ground that can’t really grow anything. If it’s worn with traffic, fast moving ground, it’s not growing ground. Surface level knowledge of God’s word will get snatched up every time by the evil one. Satan knows the life changing power of the Bible even more than you do – that’s why he continually tries to hinder you from really diving into it. He’s perfectly fine with you keeping it on the surface, speed reading to check a box, and never have it actually grow in your life. Life doesn’t change on the soil of the busy path. The seed never changes. The Sower never changes. The harvest is determined by the soil. ————— Soil #2: The Rocky Ground Verses 20-21, “As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy, yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away.” Rocky soil is shallow dirt mixed in with rocks. This little bit of soil warms quickly with the sun and the rocks, creating fast growth of the new seed, but it simply won’t last. The rocks keep the seed from ever growing roots. While it sprouts up fast, the first hard rain will wash it right out. That can be us. We can get all excited about what God says to us, we can be all gung ho in the beginning, convinced we’re going to really do it this time, but as soon as life gets hard and the storms hit, we just get washed right out. Life hits and we’re out – why? Because our soil was rocky and allowed for no permanent growth. Everything was temporary and short lived. Have you noticed how you get excited fast but fizzle? That’s rocky ground. There’s ground work to be done. The seed never changes. The Sower never changes. The harvest is determined by the soil. ————— Soil #3: Thorns Verse 22, “As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful.” Notice something. The seed actually grows here. This isn’t the path where nothing happens. This isn’t the rocky soil where it dies immediately. The plant starts growing, it just never produces what it was created to produce. Why? Because something else is growing right beside it. Jesus says the thorns are “the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches.” I don’t know about you, but I don’t have to plant weeds. Have you ever noticed that? You can spend all weekend pulling weeds out of your flower beds, and two weeks later they’re back like they own the place. You never planted them. You never watered them. You never invited them. They just showed up. Our hearts work the same way. Nobody wakes up and says, “Today I’d really like to become anxious.” Nobody decides, “I’m going to slowly make my job my identity.” Nobody plans to let social media steal their contentment. The weeds just grow. The bills. The schedules. The kids. The comparisons. The endless to-do lists. The pursuit of more. The fear of not having enough. The pressure to keep everyone happy. None of these things may be sinful by themselves… But together they quietly choke what God is trying to grow. Notice Jesus didn’t say the thorns killed the believer. He said they made them unfruitful. You can know Jesus, love Jesus, go to church, read your Bible… And still have a life where God’s Word never reaches its full potential because everything else is competing for your attention. Maybe today isn’t about planting more seed. Maybe it’s about pulling weeds. Sometimes growth doesn’t require adding one more Bible study. Sometimes it requires removing what has been choking the life out of the one you’re already doing. The seed never changes. The Sower never changes. The harvest is determined by the soil. —————— Soil #4: The Good Soil Verse 23, “As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty.” This is beautiful. Notice Jesus doesn’t say good soil is perfect soil. He simply says it receives the seed. It welcomes it. It protects it. It gives it room. It lets it sink deep. It keeps coming back day after day. And eventually… Fruit. That’s God’s goal. Not information. Transformation. God isn’t trying to make you a Bible trivia champion. He’s trying to make you look more like Jesus. Fruit takes time. An apple tree doesn’t apologize because it didn’t produce apples the week after it was planted. Growth is slow. Roots grow before fruit shows. Sometimes you’ll wonder if anything is happening at all. Keep showing up. Keep reading. Keep praying. Keep obeying. The roots are growing even when you can’t see them. And one day the fruit everyone sees will simply be the evidence of what God has been growing underground all along. So today… Which soil are you? Actually… That’s the wrong question. The better question is… Which soil is your heart today? Maybe today you’ve been living on the busy path. God’s Word has stayed on the surface because you’ve been rushing from one thing to the next. Maybe today your heart is rocky. You love the excitement of following Jesus until life gets hard. Maybe today you’ve got weeds. Not terrible sins. Just too many things competing for your heart. Or maybe… By God’s grace… Your heart is becoming good soil. Not perfect. Just open. Soft. Hungry. Ready. Here’s the best news of this whole parable: Soil can change. A hard path can be broken up. Rocks can be removed. Thorns can be pulled. The condition of your heart today does not have to be the condition of your heart tomorrow. So before you close your Bible today, don’t just ask, “What did I learn?” Ask, “God, what kind of soil is my heart today… and what do You want to do with it?” Because the seed never changes. The Sower never changes. But when the soil changes… Everything changes. “Lord, soften whatever has become hard. Remove whatever is keeping me shallow. Pull whatever is choking my growth. Make my heart good soil so your word doesn’t just inform me – it transforms me.” Follow Pamela on Instagram – https://instagram.com/headmamapamela Or Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/pamela.crim Find out more about BIG Life – http://biglifehq.com
