Agricultural science and practice


The Agriculture Reddit

Agriculture, also called farming or husbandry, is the cultivation of animals, plants, fungi, and other life forms for food, fiber, biofuel and other products used to sustain human life. Agriculture was the key development in the rise of sedentary human civilization, whereby farming of domesticated species created food surpluses that nurtured the development of civilization.

Ways to transfer/move bulk bedding

Looking for a way to move bulk pine shavings from trailer to storage facility other than shoveling. Trailer is not a dump trailer and that's not an option.

Thinking about converting a leaf vacuum to move the shavings. Thoughts??

Yanmar sa221 hydraulic filter

Has anyone had problems with tree limbs or sticks banging into the hydraulic filter, denting or poking holes in it so it drains out the 2 gallons of hydraulic fluid. The filter is really exposed and easily destroyed. This has happened to me three times, and I'm wondering if I should weld a plate underneath the filter to protect it. Anyone else had this problem?

Help needed: a quick survey on climate change and agriculture in California

Hello there!

My name is Rafaela and I am a Greek university student majoring in Economics. For my sociology class we were tasked with creating a project focused on climate change, inequality and crises around the world. I chose tp focus on California and how farmers and agriculture are being affected by natural disasters. I have created a questionnaire with 19 questions that will help me gather valuable data for my project. The questionnaire takes about 5 minutes and I would greatly appreciate if you could participate.

Please feel free to share this with other farmers across the state to help me gather a clearer picture.

All the responses are completely anonymous.

Here is the link:

What Trump’s Election Win Means: Here’s the Rundown.

What Trump’s Election Win Means: Here’s the Rundown.

Trump's convincing victory grants the new administration a clear mandate for broad policy changes. His cabinet and appointees are expected to include high-profile figures such as Elon Musk, Robert Kennedy Jr., and Tulsi Gabbard.

A decisive win was seen as the best outcome for "election integrity," especially after weeks of social media coverage fueling concerns about potential fraud or a contested result.

Key policy shifts expected include:

Tariffs: Potential new tariffs on all countries, with rates as high as 60% on China, 25% on Mexico, and 10% on allies.

Protectionism: An emphasis on protecting U.S. interests in trade, with possible impacts on commodities and currency markets.

Tax Reforms: Lower corporate taxes, with the possibility of eliminating income taxes.

Energy and Manufacturing: A strong focus on energy independence, domestic manufacturing, and reinforcing critical industries.

Border and Immigration: Stricter immigration policies, potentially requiring countries like Mexico and Venezuela to play more active roles.

A path to a new Farm Bill will provide policy clarity for biofuels and insurance support for the agricultural sector.

The emphasis on protectionism for critical industries suggests that agricultural markets could face heightened risks of foreign governments retaliating at US farmers, reminiscent of 2017-2020 when low prices required direct subsidies to farmers.

A crucial question remains: Can this team of high-profile appointees bring the continuity that was missing during Trump's first term?

Financial markets have responded with a surge in equity values and rising interest rates. The 10-year yield hit 4.45%, its highest since early July, which will be a challenge for Jerome Powell and central banks that began the rate-cutting cycle in September. Meanwhile, as expected, the dollar is climbing (up 1%), and soybeans fell 15 cents. Bitcoin has surged back to $75,000.

Now that the election is over, analysts will focus on the geopolitical risks and the international response. Is a negotiated peace in either Ukraine or Lebanon more likely? Will uncertainty lead to risk-off for emerging markets? Will China or other foreign central change monetary course before Trump's inauguration in early 2025?

What would make alternative crops worth the switch?

For those sticking with traditional crops - what would it take to convince you to try something new? For those who've made the switch - what support or conditions made it possible? Trying to understand the practical barriers to crop diversification.

I want to pursue ag biotechnology for my bachelor degree, what level of biology, math, physics should I expect from it?

Asking this because unfortunately during my high school years I pursued art so I didn't really pay attention to physics and biology and now it's gonna bite back at me...

Tho I have enough point for the entrance exam and I'm able to choose ag biotechnology, I'm worried about the depth of subjects that I will be studying.

AgTech

Hello guys! I’m a software development student in Argentina wondering what do you all think about AgTech. I would love to keep studying to implement software technologies in the agriculture field.

I can’t seem to find enough resources about careers or courses. I also don’t really know anyone who actually does this for a living.

Maybe you can help me out! Thanks!

I’m about to start my first business and I’m only 20 years old

Hello reader, i need 1. Advice 2. A mentor in Durban South Africa

I am a student at a college and i have a goat, cattle and plants business in writing and in mind. I’m currently studying tourism to get good marks and use those marks to enter a university and study agricultural studies so that i can study about my business and have already started somewhere.

I have written everything down from the land I have (I’m still going to add more information about land), money I need to start up and prepare space for everything. I have been educating myself on how to prepare land, how to take care of cattle and on how to start. I have no job(by choice) and i get an allowance from school which covers toiletries and food.

Reason I’m writing is to get advice from other people or business owners (entrepreneurs) on what should i do next with no (zero) monthly income and a board of ideas about this project.

Bayer blockbusters in the future

The upcoming crop science products from Bayer, such as the Icafolin herbicide, HT4 soybean trait, biological insecticide for arable crops, and CRW4, are not expected to create a new customer segment.

  1. Why are these 'new' products valuable for current end-users, and why are they unlikely to attract a new customer segment within crop science?

Bayer (Crop Science): Preceon Smart Corn System

  1. Why will this product of Bayer be on the market in 2027 and not earlier or later?

  2. Do the enduser (farmers, distributors, Agri business etc.) really need this product? If yes, why?

What do you think?

I‘d really appreciate your thoughts about 😊

Cars and soil fertility

Hey everyone, I came to ask if anyone has experience with fertility in soil and using it as a road.
Context: I have some land that we use to grow crops. There is a drought right now and we're not going to get water for over a year. We won't be using the land for the whole time. I'm also a car enthusiast in a town with no tracks. So I was thinking I'd draw a short circuit in my lot and drive around it in a merry fashion, but the question arose, how much damage would this cause to production when we get water again? I'm not planning on running an F1 race, there won't be any material added, but still, cars tend to leak fluids in general, there definitely be some brake dust and tire material left behind, and that's not even talking about compaction.

So, does anyone know how much damage I'd be doing to the land's fertility by driving around in a merry fashion?

Thanks :)
