Did a quick video on how the "oh no fertilizer" headlines are clickbait. https://youtu.be/13gQAt7OzxE

literally took a break from hauling manure to make this video about how the fertilizer crisis is um not real This is where fertilizer prices are at. Lower than they were for most of 2025.

the sheer number of comments on this video saying "oh but you didn't think about THIS!" about a thing I definitely talked about 20 minutes after this video got posted (it's 36 min long) it really makes you think 🤔

RE: https://timeloop.cafe/@uep/116167831441379038 so here's the wrinkle with that, the title has "GETTING OLDER" in it & my understanding is the title generally ranks higher in the search than text in the thumbnails what if it was the MILF crowd all along (melons I'd like to farm)

RE: https://mastodon.online/@sarahtaber/116154581283445835 something weird is going on with this video 16% of the views are from Google searches. That's a lot? Normally it's under 1%. Adding to the mystery, I have no idea WHAT people are googling that sends them.... here. if anyone has any idea what's going on y'all let me know

Never mind the general public. I dropped some sources in the video description on YT, including links where relevant. There's a few but not a ton & they don't always spell it out as explicitly as I do here.

@orrickle@sfba.social Meanwhile, writers who take on rural labor usually focus on strikes done by miners & textile mills. Writers who talk about sharecropping & tenant farming tend to put it as a racial justice problem rather than an economic problem. (It absolutely WAS a racial justice problem. Folks just seem to have trouble understanding that racial justice problems do in fact impact the wider economy & aren't "just a Black folks' problem." Aaaaaaaaa)

But the period I'm talking about hasn't gotten much attention from the front-line academic historians, never mind the ones who present the info to lay readers. Folks who write about "agrarian populism" tend to act like it disappeared after 1896. But rural inequality started getting *more* extreme if anything from 1900 onward. Especially in the South where Reconstruction ended & Jim Crow really sunk its claws in.

Adventures In Posting: Doing a series of videos on 1 topic on YouTube gets hairy, bc each video has to stand on its own. If you call a video "Part X in a Series on Y" ... nobody clicks on that. So on Patreon it's "part 2 of How Farming Became Conservative." And on YT it's "Why Farmers Keep Getting Older"/"Stop Doing Young Farmers Dirty." Anyway once it's up on YT I'll post the link here as well.

aspberry time: I wanted to plant some more, so I looked up recommended varieties for North Carolina only to find the official recommendation for raspberries in this part of the South is "DO NOT ATTEMPT." Turns out I've been growing raspberries in defiance of natural law this whole time 🤷‍♀️

@trantion@masto.ai It's technically possible, sort of in the same sense that it's technically possible for people to survive a spacewalk in the nude. You'll never get to the same level of reliability as pasteurized. you can get it low enough that some people (who mostly know what they're doing) feel the risk is worth it for a gourmet product like certain raw milk cheeses Raw milk as a health food is a uniquely post industrial American concept on par with "graham crackers prevent blindness."

So true. Yeah we've only been farming for 10,000+ years. There's nobody they could have asked to find out how it works 💀 Stop making excuses for nepo babies. Yes, even when they make mistakes that you can relate to bc you also did not grow up on a farm. They can & should do better.

This video also gets into a wild habit I see people do: When billionaires & their nepo babies wreck the laws, space, cars, social media, etc, we know how to get mad about it. But when they mess up at raising food... people make excuses for them? "Oh farming is so hard, they couldn't have known." ...why are we doing this.

Followup on yesterday- Does anyone know how much $$ data centers tend to make?

Any metrics are useful- per square meter, per unit computing capacity, whatever.

The green line is how much $ farmers make from selling crops & livestock. Goes up in D administrations, down in R ones. The blue line is free money farmers get from the gov't. Goes down in D administrations, up in R ones. It ain't rocket science. Source article btw: https://www.agweb.com/news/policy/ag-economy/government-payments-drive-u-s-2025-farm-income-surge
