Soil analysis provides valuable insights such us nutrient levels, pH, and soil microbiology, which impact nutrient cycle dynamics and soil-borne disease risk. We use it to establish a baseline when acquiring farms and to track the impact of our practices. From: @chalaoliverio

We are pleased to announce @chalaoliverio's promotion to Director of Farm Acquisition and Management! Joaquin will lead our efforts in farm acquisition and management. For opportunities related to farming, purchasing, or selling farms, contact him at [email protected]

In this Field Note episode, Chris Seifert, Co-Founder of @acrevalue, discusses building software systems to measure #FarmLand value and climate change’s impact on #AgTech innovations. music.amazon.com/podcasts/5f…

In this Field Note, @vivzhong97 explores the complex regulatory landscape of novel #agricultural products through a detailed case study. It sheds light on the nuances of product registration and the interplay between the @EPA, @USDA, and @US_FDA. fall-line-capital.com/fieldn…

The most visible heat and drought tolerance mechanism in #soybeans is leaf inversion. This boosts surface light reflectance, safeguarding the photosystems from excess light, reducing transpiration, and mitigating temperature stress. From: Baptiste Tellier & @Doroney

At Fall Line, we aim to promote economic viability and environmental stewardship in #agriculture by adopting conservation practices like cover cropping and no-till techniques, particularly in rotations involving low-residue #crops. From: @chalaoliverio & Baptiste Tellier

Farmers in northwestern Wisconsin have consistently outpaced national crop yield growth averages in recent years. We track crop rotations as part of our impact program, as longer and more diverse rotations bring multiple agronomic benefits. From: Baptiste Tellier & Thiago Lima

Geocarpy is a phenomenon observed in peanuts and a few other crops. Following pollination, a "peg" emerges from the ovary and extends downward into the soil. The peanut embryo forms at the tip of the peg and matures into a peanut underground. From: B. Tellier & @chalaoliverio

In today's Field Notes podcast, Cole Pestorius, 6th generation farmer and pioneer seed dealer at Frontier Family Farms, discusses the processes and business implications of organic farming. music.amazon.com/podcasts/5f…

Wet conditions in Eastern Mississippi prevent us from mowing our waterways, but they are sure looking good! From: @chalaoliverio

No-tilled cotton is coming along nicely through the fall cover crop our Eastern Mississippi farmers planted. From: @chalaoliverio

In our new Field Notes podcast, Travis Bayer, Co-founder and CTO at @Sound, explains the science behind epigenetics in sustainable agriculture and talks about how to scale a business. music.amazon.com/podcasts/5f…

This year, the corn on our Eastern Mississippi farms is thriving, completely unaffected by the pollination issues we encountered last year. From: @chalaoliverio

Double-cropped soybeans in V5. These were planted after a 90+ bu wheat crop. Take note of the “boombacks’” attached to the pivot system, which divert water from the wheel tracks. This minimizes rutting and reduces the risk of drive wheels getting stuck. From: @chalaoliverio

We are thrilled to lead @guardian_ag's Series A. Congratulations to @AdamBercu and the team on a successful round. Our team looks forward to seeding cover crops with the SC1 this fall! forbes.com/sites/edgarsten/2…

Congratulations to the @PlutonBio team! bizjournals.com/stlouis/inno…

The soybeans on our Delta farms are coming along nicely. This particular field is just emerging and benefits from optimal moisture levels. We have several other fields where the crop is more advanced, and we have already started irrigating. From: @chalaoliverio

We are doing corn root ball sampling for @PlutonBio in AR Delta. In the other picture, you can see that the corn is taking off nicely with these past rains and warm temperatures. From: @chalaoliverio

Our farmers in the Mississippi Black Belt are in the final days of corn planting. As seen in Thiago Lima's picture, the corn is being no-tilled, and the wheat in the back will be double-cropped with corn.

Congratulations @guardian_ag!
