Dreaming of a front porch fit enough for banjo plucking. Specializing in forestry and agriculture for over a decade.

The depression people are experiencing right now is pretty brutal. Bitcoin is imposing itself and many are getting rapidly poorer in Bitcoin terms.

Food costs should go up. But so should our connection to where that food comes from.

I run between four. I'm well aware of the patience required.

Primal has repeatedly disappointed me with their in app performance.

Is this widely known? Been a reoccurring issue for me.

Ok wtf is with Primal?

It's unusable.

I'm not a fan of dogmatic avoidance of chemical inputs into a farm. I am a fan of low time preference management trending towards systems that can maintain themselves, but that's a long road.

I figure Bitcoin node + Nostr relay could use up a significant amount of space.

How spam resistant are plug and play relay solutions?

It's a hard problem.

Food production is low margin, dirty work.

The answer is making farming profitable again.

Cows in trees is a cute description I've heard of misguidedly agroforestry systems.

Cows in trees.

Management intensive rotational grazing has benefits..and requires work..but the operations I see are failing.

They are failing businesses, being kept alive by a hope and a prayer. Not thriving, that's for sure.

OUR FARMS ARE BROKEN.

Shake your ranchers hand all you want, it's not going to fix their business model using broken money. We need more Bitcoiners working in the food system, on the ground with the farmers.

Bitcoin on balance sheet --> Bitcoin being accepted for goods --> Bitcoin unit of account for farm management --> ecological health.

Just the man I was hoping to talk to.

I'm looking to get a start9.. would like to run a relay.

2tb SSD or 4 tb?

Well then, carry on calling them posts.

Your ace trumps my 3.

I want to create a set of events around oak decline. Might explore highlighter to publish some of these.

Need more tree content on this ostrich protocol.

yes. this is normal.

people that don't care the weird ones.

Agricultural soils are so fragile. When I look across the modern farm landscape I see insane risk in how our food is grown.

Soil is easy to build, we just need to advertise the incentives.
