Bringing in Spring, despite higher than average temperatures, we've made significant progress.
Provider green beans, potatoes, butternut squash, loofa plants, yellow clover, johnsongrass and native grasses are all growing quite well, and I'm optimistic we may have something to harvest at the end of the season.
The chicks we brooded are thriving, and happy, shaded by our biggest mesquite tree.
Bats hang out in the evenings, as does a single owl occasionally.
It's a lot of work, but it feels hopeful.
I'm looking to #getfedihired for freelance writing and editing services and find my people. (UTC -4)

"Farmers are caught in a political brawl over climate and DEI language"
This one is a rare irony.
After years of greenwashing the animal farming industry with claims of #regenerative #grazing and similar pseudoscience, all sorts of #greenwashing funds beneficiaries have been caught in the crossfire of the new US "fossilphile" regime's war on anything "green" and or attempting to not turn the climate into a #hothouse #Earth state.
It's probably going to be a one off. In the article, the ranchers admit that it's "branding" trick to get more free money or to help charge more for sales. They will dump the "regenerative grazing" and "climate friendly beef" grift soon enough, as it doesn't really fit their business model. Well, these ones specifically may not change, but the ones who buy their lands and feed lots will change.

Bullshitting protects the status quo.
