    As I said none of their ideas are bad

    And a couple are new to me and very interesting

    Perennial grain crops would be awsome

    It would save the farmers time and money if they only had to plant corn once and then harvest it every year

    But that dream is not a reality yet

    Sub-spil plowing aka keyline plowing is also interesting even though I saw rerports where the results were disappointing

    But I must point out that many parts being touted under the name « regenerative agriculture » is not new or unique

    I cant think of any patents monsanto or bayer could buy that would prevent anyone from starting a hydroponic garden indoors or on their rooftop

    Cover crops and no-till methods are a big part of conservation ag. Another emerging practice is pasture cropping.

    I have been adding lemon to my water for about five years. And, now, I have little to no enamel left on my teeth. Going forward, I have to drink from a straw...but a metal one, as I am trying to reduce the world's use of plastic straws.

    That's because hydroponics isn't big enough yet.
    One thing for sure, if and when hydro or any other form of food growing that doesn't include them, they are going to find ways to make it as difficult or expensive as possible. And they have the government well on their side to pass legislation to make it both hard and expensive. It will be in the name of "consumer safety" just like how they have fought VERY successfully against regional meat producers. There are horror stories everywhere where Monsanto has used the courts and law enforcement to literally confiscate goods and equipment and destroy small players. People who have gone to jail, have had their property seized.
    Hydroponics will fall into that trap if it ever gets large enough to hurt their monopolies.

    There are variations of no-till but it often involves the use of chemical herbicides

    So that innovation is still a work in progress

    Hydroponic is already very large

    And what we might call open source

    I think you are worried about nothing

    Hydroponics is infinitesimal when considering the size of traditional agriculture. 1,000's of a single percent.

    Looks like it is local to Kansas and in Ohio to me.

    We have excellent water here where I live.

    It's very true.. I'm in the same boat as Pant, when I visit my momz I bring home 2 cases of lemons, squish um, fill ice tray and put the frozen cubes of juice in big ol bucket in my chest freezer...

    My teeth are sensitive now too, but I just brush with Sensodyne solves that problem!

    That is the way I feel when you try your hardest to frighten people about climate.

    I hope you and I are able to agree more.

    Chemtrails is not a danger to any of us.

    The vapor as you told her is water vapor.

    No, it is not exhaust from the engine.

    If you do more checking, my guess is that the dew point at that track or tracks is why this happens.

    If you are not a pilot, you probably never heard of wingtip vortices. Normally the problems with them are on the large "heavy" jet airplanes. And it happens above a particular speed and conditions.

    Small aircraft are always warned to stay well behind the heavy jets on landing since the vortices can flip small planes around and cause them to crash. Apparently autos racing with wings on them suffer the problem also, but not as severe as to cause the trailing cars to crash. With a dew point at a particular point vapor shows up on the racing cars. On large aircraft the vortices off the wing tips are worse than tornadoes I believe.

    Wingtip Vortices in Formula One - why are they formed?

    Many of us would have wondered what those thin white streams are which come out of the rear endplates when the Formula One cars run down the straights, and which are specially seen when the conditions are damp.

    Wingtip vortices formed on Luca Badoer’s Ferrari

    These thin white streams are nothing but vortices of air produced when the rear wing generates downforce. The air moves at a higher velocity beneath the surface of the rear wing and at a lesser velocity above it. This generates lower pressure beneath the surface and hence a downward force is generated. As gases have a natural tendency to flow from high pressure to low pressure, the air tries to spill over the endplates, but cannot due to airspeed. Because of this spilling over effect, a spiralling effect is created. The high pressure air is directed along the top end of the endplates and rearwards outward from the car in the form of very high energy regions, called vortices. After travelling some distance behind the car, these vortices level out in the normal flow of air behind the car.

    Start using a straw Butter! You cannot replace enamel. Sensodyne will make them feel better, but won't repair the damage.

    Me neither - but once I started looking online, I found countless sources. If only I'd checked before...

    I use a combination of Sensodyne, Wild Turkey 101 and sometimes a dab-dab... Seems to help me.

    Organic grains are not easy to grow on a large scale

    They are easier to grow than new planets.
