#11 grass that is laid out like freaking carpet off of a roll does not belong where it's being put and is an invasive species and detrimental to the plant, insect and wildlife population.

I remember one piece of weird seating equipment my uncle had on his farm that I had to put together a just and figure out how it worked when I wanted to plant some hard corn for silage for a steer. I think it was called a vibrotine or something

#19 That machine is not for agricultural work. It's built for competition, tractor pulls specifically.

As soon as I saw the roll cage I knew exactly what that was. Sure have come along way since the Case 1066 pullers.

2 months ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Those things are amazing, and guys dump ridiculous amounts of money into them. I still prefer the antique pulls, though.

I was wondering why all the special care for the tire treads and the ramp - I'd've expected an actual working machine to be generally more durable than that.

#21 uh, I'd throw those oranges away.. but I know moldy grapes are a thing and it makes them sweeter. Still

That's not mould. It's called albedo and is just part of the peel that's left behind sometimes. It doesn't taste great (a bit bitter) but no point removing it if you're just gonna squeeze the juice out.

2 months ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 2

No, albedo is the pith, between the outer layer and the pulp. This is clearly while mould on the outside. You can see it also on the ones in the background still hanging

2 months ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

The shiny outer layer is the flavedo (rind/zest). The peel consists of both this and the albedo (pith). But it's not that anyway. I wasn't looking close enough, you're right, it's mould. Eww.

2 months ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

It's not fuzzy like a mold would be, after some brief research there's apparently a kaolin clay called Surround WP that's put on orchard fruits to deter sucking insects. You can see how the white layer has some cracks that fungus wouldn't have.

Interesting, thanks. I know of covering stems in whitewash for temperature control and pests, but didn't know they use a similar thing on fruit

#18 is at Dysons strawberry glasshouse in the UK. Many futuristic growing approaches are done here, viable even in winter. Many UK growers just want to get their previous growing bed approach, then they showcased this!

I'm wondering about the investment, that looks expensive as HELL- not to mention the acres of greenhouse around it. Like- absolutely YES, this is exactly one of the things I think we'll need to help in the climate apocalypse, but it means nothing if farmers can't afford it or worse won't buy it because it's "Woke". (I wish that was sarcasm, but I gotta admit: the bar's so low it's a tripping hazard in hell, and yet here we are with folks just limbo dancing with the devil.)

It’s a different kind of farming. Sundrop Farms in Australia spent $200m building a farm which grows tomatoes in a self-contained soil-free greenhouse in the desert running on solar power and desalinated water. It’s not something a farmer could do, but also they don’t need to because traditional farmers have land and water.

#10. My whole lawn would be one scorched mess.

I’m in Southern California, so I’d end up torching 4,000+ homes. I’ll stick with my Spruce. But I’m also not growing crops in my front yard so that’s all right

#17 the kicker (the thing that "kicks" the bale) is actually an accessory part that can be removed if you don't need it (or in our case, the tractor can't power it ^.^;). It was a bit "too modern" for the old 1950 Super C.

That said, my dad and I do miss the old 14-T baler we had. It was my favorite machine <3

#7 is a MUCH fancier version of the tobacco setter I grew up with.

2 months ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I did some field work for the neighbors as a kid. The peppers we had to hand shove into the wet mud hole punched into the black tarp. They got a big fancy planter for strawberries where we had to pull apart somewhat still frozen young plants, shove them into a rubber pocket quickly, and then it would slice then into the ground. I hated those days.

#11 That's incredible. I laid a lot of sod in my yooth. A lot of back aches and shoulder issues I'm still dealing with. Of course with this machine available I wouldn't have been hired in the first place.

Is it just me, but that doesn't look like sod. It looks like artificial turf.

2 months ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 3

You can see the dirt fall out. It's sod alright

2 months ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Of course this one is only good for large scale jobs. If you're just doing a small Turf in on somebody's lawn where you just replacing some damage part of a fairway it still has to be done by hand

The company I worked for did a lot of corporate properties, schools, city parks, etc. For new or renovated properties we'd do all the landscaping, including large swaths of grass.

2 months ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

For large areas I didn't use Turf I would use grass seed water and fertilizer I usually got better results too

Laying sod is so tough! I had to do it to 800sf and I was done for a week. I'm sorry you have chronic health issues due to it..blue collar jobs need more protection and care in our society. Also, sod is fucking stupid. Growing grass is stupid. It is a completely unnecessary part of life. Stupid people started the trend when moving west. Idiots. And now, my HOA won't shut up so I'm stuck otherwise I'd native garden all day

2 months ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 1

We're very lucky that the concept of HOA hasn't really become a thing here. I've reluctantly mowed my lawn once this year, never rake it. We have an oak forest on the backside so we get a ton of leaves and acorns plus everything from all the other trees. I run the mower over them in the fall but no raking. Despite my neglect and abuse the lawn remains pretty lush.

Lawns are a much older thing than western expansion. They make a decent amount of sense as a defensive measure around a fortification or to keep predators away from homes/livestock but as a status symbol thing for normal families to maintain it’s ridiculous.

2 months ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

False equivalency, bud. Also where were lawns used as a defense barrier? Sounds made up so provide source.

Lawn grass is natural in some eastern regions, especially in the Appalachia. It's where the obsession and social status began, iirc
