A good drinking game would be taking a drink everytime Devin says "hold on folks".... except this year it's always early the morning!
Keep up the great work, Devin. Appreciated.
Yeah... she's all kinds of nasty.
File that one away for the war crimes tribunal...
Spudchat is back with new episodes! Our first new episode of this season is with Dr. Julie Pasche of NDSU, talking about Alternaria diseases in potatoes, including some PEI-specific survey work to assess fungicide resistance and genetic diversity of pathogens @potatoamerica.bsky.social
Canada looked absolutely gassed at the end. They showed up and worked so hard, but USA the better team. Canadian women should be very proud.
They allowed a Czech goal with 6 Czech players not only on the ice but in the play. Bad officiating that breaks both ways, brother.
Canada had a legit shot at 4 gold meals today.... and got none. Short track is so unpredictable though... tough stuff. We also need to get better at cross country and downhill skiing... that's a lot of medals we don't come close to. #Olympics #teamcanada
Is there any more damning indictment of American health care that James Van der Beek's family had to start a GoFundMe and sell memorabilia to pay his medical bills? If Hollywood actors can't afford their health care, how are ordinary people supposed to? Insane country.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Brett Gallant counts as from PEI for me!
This is one hell of speech by Carney. Calls out the actions of America without naming them. Does the same to "appeasing" countries like the UK. Will be interesting to see if it results in any actual change.
I'm signed up for the beta-test on this made in Canada social media platform. Check it out:

Now we know why the UK is in fiscal trouble... they spent it all on NYE fireworks. Geez Louise!
Thoughtfully sourced = we put a lot of thought into what frozen chicken fingers, French fries and nachos we ordered from the wholesaler.
Great plan (got mine too) but be prepared to feel like crap for a day or two.
I can think of a really good reason.
You're right, ag isn't on Bluesky. But I can't justify contributing content to X... it's become a toxic hellhole and I'm not going to drive traffic there.
At an interesting extension conf today and recent data shows that social media in ag drives adoption much less than other tools. Food 4 thought
To my mind... it doesn't matter how much of a nutrient bank a field has if there a lack of water to bring it into the plant. If you have access to irrigation and good soil structure, you can definitely grow crops with low OM...but that is very region specific. PNW has gift of near limitless H20
I would struggle to find a farmer that would label a low OM sandy field as "fertile" unless they had irrigation. That very much hit home here this year, where much of PEI got less than 4 in of rain from July 1 to mid Sept.
I agree in part... but the large majority of acres can't be irrigated today. So having resilient soils that can feed plants during periods of drought has value in most farming areas.
2nd pitch of the at bat should have been a strike. Evens out
Way to go, PEI.
38.4 mm at Kensington, PE (PEI Dept of Ag station). Rest of PEI looks like 15-25 mm
It does my soul good in this mad world to watch the Jays put the wood to the Yankees. Let's go Blue Jays!
This piece highlights one of the farms I'm working with exploring the opportunity to include rotational grazing ahead of potatoes in PEI.
Cover crop mixture research, 5 states, 17 site-years, concludes that CC mixture diversity and seeding rate did not consistently improve CC performance, measured soil parameters, or cash crop yields.
But they cost more.

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining
Beautiful Colomba potatoes, straight from the field to the packing line this morning. Was out wiring with the farm to ID potential for bruise using a SmartSpud sensor
