The Horse chestnut apparently spread across Europe by straight-tusked elephant (Palaeoloxodon antiquus) about 500,000 years ago
Catching up on Profi magazine reading @mervyn_bailey this evening. The @lelyrobotman Sphere adds further weight to my theory that dairy farms are fertilizer plants that produce milk as a byproduct @CallansCows @DarraghScott

Irish grown tillage crops have been shown to have significantly lower carbon footprints than many imported feed ingredients. Yet Bord Bia’s flagship sustainability programme, Origin Green, still seems unable to meaningfully reward farmers for using them. How does that make sense?
I may have to adjust my calculations. On the other hand, cut 1.2m cube of wood (sawed and blocked) in about an hour yesterday.
Another 1.1 cubic m in the bag (or box). Mix of blackthorn, hawthorn, sally and ash. Will be like coal when it’s dry. #firewood

No evidence of tillage now. More proof of a great autumn for growth than anything
Hard to spot right now which got tillage and which didn’t.
@agronomistag getting that legume plus another (brassica and rye in this case) cover crop pumping
