wondering for a moment how we became so shortsighted
before promptly lulling ourselves into a false sense of security, believing we’ve outgrown whatever causes this blatant insanity

One area of ag inputs I’ve never really been involved in is equipment 🚜
#Agsky, how do relative $/ac equipment costs vary by crop & region?
How do you treat it as a variable cost, compared to other inputs?

Anyone got any good reading recommendations on the history of regenerative agriculture/organic agriculture?
I'm curious why the idea of organic rose to the top early, and why regenerative ag received the spotlight recently despite its roots also running deep into the 20th century
