#Pueblo grinding refers to the ancient and ongoing practice by Pueblo people (Ancestral Puebloans) of using a mano (a hand-held stone) against a metate (a larger stone slab with a depression) to grind food like #corn and

#Irrigation’s next upgrade may be chemistry—not hardware. Loveland’s AQUA FORCE targets the root zone: IRF’s 2024 irrigated corn work showed ~+9 bu/acre on average. The bigger story is verification—yield per inch, pump hours, moisture curves

Scientist pleaded guilty to smuggling #Fusarium #graminearum into #US. But what is it?
It causes a disease in #barley and #wheat called Fusarium head blight, or scab. It can also damage #rice and rot #corn ears and stalks. In severe cases, scab could cut a farm’s yield by 45%!
Its responsible for some of greatest annual crop losses in US. In 2024 extension & research plant pathologists suggested scab reduced US wheat crop by approximately 31 million bushels or roughly 2%.

#Farmers will get more money from #Trump.
When Trump promised new #tariffs while running for office, Gene Stehly worried that #trade disputes would jeopardize his international #sales of #corn, #soybeans & #wheat.
A little more than a year later, Stehly said his fears have become a reality, & Trump’s latest promise of #FederalAssistance is insufficient to cover #US farmers’ losses.

A Month After #Trump Doubles Down on #Atrazine, #WHO Dubs It ‘Probably #Carcinogenic to Humans’
“It is outrageously irresponsible that we still allow use of this dangerous #poison in the United States,” said the Center for Biological Diversity’s environmental health science director.

"Just a month after the Trump administration doubled down on the alleged safety of atrazine, a United Nations agency said on Friday that the pesticide—which is banned by dozens of countries but commonly used on #corn, #sugarcane, and #sorghum in the United States—probably causes #cancer.
" 'It is outrageously irresponsible that we still allow use of this dangerous poison in the United States,' said Nathan Donley, the Center for Biological Diversity’s environmental health science director, in a Friday statement. 'This finding is just the latest indictment of the industry-controlled US #pesticide oversight process that is failing to protect people and #wildlife from chemicals linked to numerous health harms.'

#GMOCorn & #Glyphosate: New evidence for precaution from Mexican scientists
March 4, 2025
"Most #corn grown in the U.S. is #GeneticallyModified to tolerate the spraying of #glyphosate-based herbicides. These #herbicides are linked to cancer, endocrine disruption and other health concerns.
"#Mexico banned genetically modified (#GM) corn from use in tortillas in 2023. The #US challenged the policy as an unfair trade practice, claiming Mexico’s precautionary policies were not based on science. In response, Mexico’s national science agency compiled one of the most comprehensive and thorough reviews to date of current scientific evidence showing #HealthRisks associated with production and consumption of the most widely grown crop in the U.S.
"In this webinar, the former director of Mexico’s National Council for Humanities, Science and Technology and the agency’s lead researcher on the topic presented Mexico’s recently released scientific review document. The evidence draws on recent literature to make the case that there are unacceptable health risks from GM corn and glyphosate for Mexican people who consume large quantities of minimally processed corn in food products such as tortillas.
"Dr. #ElenaÁlvarezBuylla, who directed the national science agency for six years, outlined the research carried out to underpin Mexico’s 2023 decree to restrict the use of GM corn in tortillas and other minimally processed corn products, and to phase out the use of glyphosate.
"Erica Hagman Aguilar presented the key findings from the well-referenced 200-page science dossier, which was recently translated into English.
"This webinar was moderated by researcher and writer Timothy A. Wise.
"The discussion was co-hosted with #USRightToKnow, a nonprofit public health research group. It was presented with simultaneous English/Spanish interpretation. "
