  • Optimizing fertilizer use is one of the most effective steps growers can take. Regular soil and tissue testing helps match fertilizer rates to crop needs, reducing excess application and saving input costs. Split fertilizer applications timed to crop growth can further improve nutrient uptake and reduce losses.

    “Real progress comes from collaboration. When growers, researchers and industry work together, we see solutions that are practical, effective and scalable,” Morris said.

    Sanders praised Local Land Services for its pursuit of more effective bioreactors combined with better farm practices.

    “With appropriate design, regular monitoring and adjustments to match farm wastewater volumes, bioreactors can achieve high levels of nitrogen removal and provide a strong safeguard against nutrient pollution entering local waterways,” Sanders said. “However, they are most effective when used alongside best-practice fertilizer and irrigation management, rather than as a replacement for reducing nitrogen inputs at the source.”


  • Literally laughed. Perhaps it depends on the model and training methodology.

    How it seems to me is that capitalists want to claim an idea, whether it’s theirs or not, and rush some model to production, without deep, thorough investigation of

    • Desired goal of the product or service (beyond extract wealth from as many people as possible)
    • A wider range of desirable and undesirable potentialities from the target consumers’ perspectives
    • Necessarily following, potential implications, beyond immediate and obvious cost-risk liability assessments

    Which obviously leads to unforseen or improperly assessed risks for the targeted consumers. As long as insurance will cover the costs of liability, without too much of a premium increase or cancellation, they really don’t care about damage mitigation to consumers.



  • For two months, the allegation that Cuba was hosting a major Russian spy base was largely ignored by U.S. media outlets. Then, on March 24, The New York Times published an article by Michael Crowley claiming not only that the Russian spy base exists, but that it “bristles with antennas and other eavesdropping equipment” capable of spying on the U.S. Central Command, the satellite launchpads of Cape Canaveral and Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence.

    Crowley pinpointed the location: a former Soviet base on the outskirts of Havana called Lourdes that was “temporarily shut” by Vladimir Putin in 2001 but was reopened in 2014, according to The Times.

    There is just one problem with this story: the base isn’t there.

    The State Department did not respond to a request for comment. Belly of the Beast also sent requests to The New York Times and to Michael Crowley but received no response…

    “They can say we’re a failed state if they want…but no one can ignore or deny the impact of the blockade,” said Luque. “A country like this little island, which has virtually no natural resources — we’re not a major oil-producing island or a country with abundant resources — if you don’t let oil in, naturally everything starts to fall apart. That’s what’s happening to us. But here we are. We keep going.”









  • According to Puerto Rico’s water agency, more than 50 percent of the island’s drinking water supply has been lost over the past 19 years due to leaks, breaks, and spills in the aging system. In a 2019 report card, the American Society of Civil Engineers gave Puerto Rico’s drinking water infrastructure a D grade, estimating the territory needs $3.9 billion in improvements to modernize its public utilities…

    San Juan’s mayor, Miguel Romero, sued Puerto Rico’s Aqueducts and Sewer Authority in late May over the outages, signaling growing official frustration with the utility’s response. The governor said repairs to the major pipeline crack were completed by mid-June, but residents remain skeptical. One San Juan resident reported that as repairs progressed, crews discovered additional leaks they said they could not fix without halting other repairs, suggesting the problem extends far beyond the initial rupture.
