🎉 Already 10 years and counting, I work for IBMA - International Biocontrol Manufacturers Association to make the voice of the Biocontrol industry stronger and stronger. For more biocontrol solutions for farmers as soon as possible, for a sustainable resilient and productive agriculture. Challenges are clear, we need to continue to work on them together to make more products available on the market via a proportionate regulatory framework. The future is biocontrol and that is why IBMA also brings people ''boots-on-the-ground'' for them to see it and listen to farmers' unvaluable experiences. #biocontrol #biocontrolmatters #workingwithnature

ITM truly is the central foundation of all turf management. Never has it been more important to meet the challenges the world faces and the part sport has to play in this big picture. Where there are challenges, there are opportunities to not only produce the best possible sports surfaces, but to do so in a way that enhances ecosystems and the environment.

Green River Regenerative Farm is hosting TWO Soil Health Academy(ies) in 2025! The first is during the week of June 17, 2025 and will cover stacked enterprises in orchards; grazing sheep, hogs, and laying hens at different times of the year to enhance orchard performance in low input systems while adding different, but synergistic revenue streams. The second is October 1-3, 2025 and is a joint education event with Regenified™ specifically for consumers, with an emphasis on the direct corollation between soil health and human health by virtue of enhanced nutrient density of foods produced regeneratively. Check out soilhealthacademy.org for more info. Eric Fuchs Chuck Schembre, CPSS Leah Bischof Gabe Brown Allen Williams

New publication🐄 A happy cow is a more productive cow and cow comfort during the milking process is an important part of the happiness/productivity equation. Milking rates, however, need to be optimised and the balance between optimised rates and optimal cow comfort is an important factor in farming efficiency. VistaMilk-funded researchers have been involved in a project to measure cow comfort (specifically focused on cluster removal settings) by measuring the cow’s leg movements during the milking process.
