@@darthvader5300 Agriculture is destroying the planet. It is very frustrating how much miss information there is on this topic. Grazing can actually sequester far more carbon than forests at a much, much faster rate. If we grazed animals on a large enough scale, we could actually mitigate all human emissions. Growing plants can not do this. Plant agriculture uses massive amounts of fossil fuels and unlike grazing cattle, it doesn't mitigate its own emissions. The soil microbiome is killed with chemicals and that dead soil is lost rapidly, causing complete land infertility and desertification. Grazing animals is the fastest way to replenish these lands, bring the microbes back, give nutrients back, rehydrate, break up impaction, and build soil faster than any other process. It would take nature decades to build the amount of soil made in a couple of yrs of Grazing.

Many years ago, I worked for a nursery, and they had several greenhouses that were built in WWII, to save money heating them. This was in New Jersey. They were basically dug into the ground, with glass roofs. We grew citrus and bananas in one. No additional heat was used, and in the Summer white wash was sprayed on the glass roof to prevent it from getting too hot in them. Everything old is new again, I suppose.
@darthvader53002 жыл бұрын
They add a very thick layer of titanium dioxide on top of a newly formed EMERGING sheet of glass emerging from a float glass furnace while it is still in the process of slowly solidifying so that the titanium dioxide will diffuse sunlight in sufficient amounts so as to prevent the other side in the interior from overheating or becoming too hot.

We have an older gentleman, in our area who is about 90, or so,. He owns and operates a decent sized fertilizer business. He has a big old farm, cattle, and runs a bible study type of group during the week! He is a huge inspiration to all who lives in our little town. He drove his tractor down to our land one afternoon, when we were having our telephone poles put in. Sadly, a big, beautiful cedar tree was coming down, and he asked for it, which we, OF COURSE, told him he was free to take. He told us that he had his eye on it to build a big cedar cross for his chapel! So he is still doing beautiful carpentry work, as well! I love older farmers, they're a wealth of knowledge.

What a precious elderly gentleman. We need to stop and learn to listen, once again, to the wisdom of the elderly. So much value in the old and wise. God bless this smart elderly and his family. May God continue to protect him and keep him strong.
