.@wrightmderek Did you even read it? Not about "plant breeding". About thinking breeding for taste is something shockingly novel, in @kevinfolta's own words
@kevinfolta On second thoughts, also a repudiation of your ultimate goal, which I guess is IPR.
@kevinfolta Absolutely not a validation. A repudiation of your methods, not your goals.
Doing the same thing? Not at all. Pursuing a similar goal, and doing it very differently. @kevinfolta
There's something very wrong with your economics when you need to double subsidies to get farmers to rotate crops
> BEIJING, June 20 (Reuters) - China will spend almost twice
as much this year on subsidies to encourage farmers in the
northeast to reduce corn plantings as it intensifies its push to
rebalance grain stocks.
> The country will issue 2.56 billion yuan ($374.95 million)
in funds to pay farmers subsidies to rotate their corn plantings
with other crops every other year as well as to leave some land
fallow, the Ministry of Finance said on Tuesday.
> The funds are 78 percent higher than last year, and the
acreage targeted by the subsidies is double last year's area at
around 800,000 hectares.
Giving myself a quick break by reading Lukas Rosenstock's monthly review, and coming away with a few thoughts. One is that Lukas is brave, as he recognises, to admit that some things aren't going to plan. Another is that he used six Pomodori to write the review; that seems like time well spent. Another is that he mentions a few tools that are new to me and that I ought to check out. But there's the rub. There's no point checking them out unless I plan to make some use of them.
I do my monthly reviews OK, although June is delayed until next weekend because I have paid work to finish. Should I publish them, and hold myself publicly accountable? Lots of #indieweb enthusiasts are driven by data-logging themselves and making the results available. I don't think I am, although I can see the benefits of tracking and setting specific goals.
Hmmm. First time opening micro.blog I get an Internal Server Error.
Maybe this means I've been signed out, but then why not say so?
