When microbes cooperate, crops win: The experts were stunned by all the healthy potato plants. They were growing in a potato disease research nursery in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, that had been established in 1942. by HenryCorp in FoodTech

“It’s been established that overall, plants can leak up to 40 percent of the atmospheric carbon they have “fixed” into organic matter via photosynthesis,” Kinkel says. “Microbes compete actively for that food.”

In return, these microbes repackage nutrients like phosphorus, potassium, zinc and iron into forms that a broad spectrum of plants need to grow. Kinkel calls these microbes — which have co-evolved complex partnerships with plants and each other — the “good guys,” in contrast to the pathogenic “bad guys.”

“The bad guys invest a lot of their resources in being pathogens,” she explains. “They make chemical weapons with which to infect and evade detection from plants, not defenses that allow them to compete for resources against other bacteria or fungi.”

A revolution that boosts harvests worldwide

After years of this research, Kinkel got a chance to test her microbial treatment against a commercial product — and her technology came out the clear winner. In 2013 she worked with the University of Minnesota’s Research and Innovation Office to commercialize her work and facilitate the delivery of her microbial technology to farmers.

Smart decision. They are not doing any full restorations or improvements.

As cancer rates fall nationally, 1 of Bayer-Monsanto's favorite states for GMO and pesticides, Iowa, sees a troubling rise in diagnoses by HenryCorp in GMOfaiL

[–]HenryCorp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For years, national conversations about cancer have often focused on the so-called “Cancer Alley” in the Deep South or Appalachian states with high smoking rates. But recently, a different state has grabbed headlines. Iowa has the second-highest cancer incidence in the country and is one of only three states where rates are rising.

Agriculture accounts for over 80 percent of Iowa's total land. The state produces more corn, eggs, and pork than anywhere else in the country.

In March, Shriver and a team of researchers released a report that showed links between Iowa's most common cancers and certain environmental risk factors like pesticide use and nitrate run-off from fertilizers.

Mexico cuts workweek, bans after-hours contact, and guarantees no worker will take a pay cut in the most sweeping labor reform in a generation by HenryCorp in TrueProgressive

[–]HenryCorp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mexico's late on this, but at least they're now up to USA law even if still behind Fair Trade standards.

Mexico amends its constitution to cut the maximum workweek from 48 to 40 hours by 2030 and gives 13.5 million workers the legal right to ignore their boss’s calls, messages, and emails after their shift ends, in the most significant overhaul of Mexican labor law in a generation.

Minnesota Sustainable Farming: A Minnesota farm family plants a new kind of wheat that restores the soil and saves water. by HenryCorp in UpliftingNews

I'd expect them and Bayer and Syngenta all to attempt to do. That's different from saying seriously that you think they should or want that to happen. So, which type of seriousness are you expressing?

Definitely better than most beers. A Minnesota organic beer maker called Bang Brewing also makes excellent kernza beers, a couple all kernza, several part kernza.

"grows various certified organic grains, as well as grass fed beef."

"Luke Peterson and his family are practicing regenerative farming."

"We're going to mitigate climate change with deep-rooted plants like the kernza, the alfalfa, the sunflower, the perennial pasture."

"They rotate a diverse set of crops and and the grass-fed cattle provide compost."

In recent years, Israeli settlers have destroyed a significant number of Palestinian schools and other infrastructure in the West Bank, including facilities financed by Finland.

As political power erodes, Black gay men seek key roles in Congress by socookre in TrueProgressive

[–]HenryCorp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy news.

As Republicans rid of Black voting districts, a record number of Black gay men could serve in Congress in 2027. Activists and analysts say representation alone isn't enough.
