How poor internet access is holding rural America back

By


Description given on Youtube:
In rural America, broadband internet infrastructure can be overpriced and difficult to access. It’s not just an inconvenience — it’s an issue of equality. Poor rural communities in America’s South are falling behind in the digital age. But one man is trying to change that.

The genetically modified food debate

By


Description given on Youtube:
The world’s population will reach 9.6 billion in 2050. But do we have enough food for this bulging population? Is genetically modified food the answer to this problem because of its higher yield? Or as claimed by food policy experts that the problem of hunger is due to distribution and not due to a decrease in the yield? Is genetically modified food safe for consumption? If not, then what is the harm in conducting field trials to ascertain the safety of foodgrain? On this week’s The Big Fight, we discuss the very contentious issue of GM food and the fact and fiction behind the story.

Why Scientists Disagree About Global Warming: Joseph Bast

By


Description given on Youtube:
“Probably the most widely repeated claim in the debate over global warming is that ‘97% of scientists agree’ that climate change is man-made and dangerous,” the authors write. “This claim is not only false, but its presence in the debate is an insult to science.”

With these words, the authors begin a detailed analysis of one of the most controversial topics of the day. The authors make a compelling case against claims of a scientific consensus. The purported proof of such a consensus consists of sloppy research by nonscientists, college students, and a highly partisan Australian blogger. Surveys of climate scientists, even those heavily biased in favor of climate alarmism, find extensive disagreement on the underlying science and doubts about its reliability.

Crop Production Technology for Post Rainyseason Sorghum

By


Description given on Youtube:
Postrainy sorghum(Rabi season): Unlike rainy season sorghum, the area under postrainy sorghum has remained stable in the last two decades. Because of its good quality, almost entire grains produced in postrainy season are used as human food. Similarly the stover (dry fodder) is an important source of fodder for livestock in the dry seasons where no other fodder is available . The current level of productivity of postrainy sorghum in farmers’ fields is far from satisfactory. While almost entire postrainy sorghum is grown on residual soil moisture, landrace varieties predominates (about 80%) the cultivar base. The available improved varieties and hybrids have limited acceptance by farmers, as they lack the grain quality traits and resistance to shoot fly and aphids and terminal drought tolerance that match with the popular cultivar, M 35-1(Maldhandi). Production and availability of improved varieties to the farmers is a major constraint, where private sector seed companies are not showing interest in the production and marketing because of economic reasons. The development of high grain and fodder yielding hybrid parents and cultivars with these farmers preferred traits (tolerance to shoot fly, and aphids and drought) is desirable for enhanced adoption of improved cultivars and thereby for increasing the productivity.

It is frustrating when you get off work a little early and rush home to finish brush hogging and you have a flat tire on the tractor. That’s common where I am because we have the luxury of having an ample supply of honey locust trees that help folks who fix tires stay busy. They’re not the thornless kind that you have in your yard, they have giant thorns on them that are awfully tough on tires.

There’s good news though. If you’ll invest in a product that I use called Multi-Seal (and this is not a paid endorsement, I used to sell the stuff and I use it and I can tell you it works) you can get back in the field about as quickly as I did this video.

You also don’t have to go drag a jack out of a machine shed to get the tire up in the air. If the tractor is equipped with a front end loader, you have a built in jack right there. Just put your bucket (or in my case, pallet forks) down flat and push down on the joystick. The tractor front end should come right off the ground and you’re ready to fix the tire.

Now, as I say in the video, if I was going to take the tire off I would definitely put jack stands under the front end. I never trust tractor hydraulics to hold weight up over a period of time. They usually do, but if there’s a leak in the system or a hose ruptures, it could lose pressure and come down. But, in this case, I’m just lifting everything up to make sure the tire isn’t off the rim. You can tell it’s been flat for a while.

Once I’ve determined that the tire isn’t off the rim (if it is you may have to take it off and visit the tire shop), I’m pretty sure Multi-Seal will do it’s job. I remove the little valve seal with the tool provided with the Multi-Seal bottle, squirt in a bunch of the product, put the stem back together, air the tire up and spin it around and it’s repaired.

Multi-Seal will enable you to prevent flats before they happen if you prefer. Just fill the tire to the recommended level and you shouldn’t have a flat unless you cut a huge hole in it. I use it on my lawn mower and in the tractor tires, unfortunately it’s not cleared for highway use so you’re not supposed to put it in the pickup tires.

I keep a bottle of Multi-Seal on the shelf at all times just in case a tire goes down. It’s not cheap but when you figure your time to take a tire off and go get it repaired, it’s worth every penny. I especially recommend it for industrial application, like skid loaders.
