I'm still enjoying my trip to Europe (more on that later), but back home on the farm #Harvest2024 has officially started! I can't wait to get back and join my brother in the cab (we'll, actually, I can, but you know 😂).
The UN prepares to hold a major meeting later this month about antimicrobial resistance. Normally I would be worried by what would come out of this meeting, but it looks like farmers are already on track to tackle this growing crisis. As I like to say, farmers are leaders in sustainability!

That is some serious misinformation! Enjoy your pesticide laden produce, and don't worry about the the coincident increases in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, autism, ADHD, etc that came with the use of modern pesticides and herbicides.
