If you don't do herbicides, one of the better ways to choke out weeds is just lay a tarp on the ground for a few weeks.

Also, it's warm, humid, & full of crickets under there. AKA the perfect hospitality for snakes.

This one was living her best life. Until we rudely picked the tarp up

Remember that 21,000+ acre farm here in NC where workers keep dying?

You'd think they're doing that "to make a profit."

LOL no. If that were true, they probably wouldn't have gotten FORTY MILLION DOLLARS in arrears with their bank.

Irene did not, in fact, do any of that.

The only reason this has worked so far is the NC state board of elections is GOP-dominated. So partisan attacks get a pass there.

So she's bringing the legal battle to court. That will force the local GOP to bring their case into the open & that the accusations are bogus.)

What farm workers ask for is WORKER PROTECTION LAWS.

Not "Hey, could you guys argue some more over what the definition of a farmer is?"

Arguing over "who's the real farmer" is just.... so far removed from the actual point.

I have never, once in my LIFE, seen or heard a farm worker say "Actually, WE'RE the real farmers."

Or engage in a pissing match over who "counts" as a "real farmer." If they're hiring farm workers, that's a farmer!

Look bud. If they're hiring farm workers... it doesn't matter what virtue-signalling-based filter we use for "real farmer."

That's a farmer!

Since farming in the US is kind of an upper-class pursuit at this point, you'd be amazed how many farmers.......don't really understand working in the heat that well.

Which makes it hard to supervise a crew responsibly! 🙃

Fancy word of the day: pollenkitt

An oily, waxy, sticky goo that plants that are pollinated by insects, bats, & birds put on top of their pollen

so that it
-sticks to pollinators
-doesn't blow away in the wind (hypoallergenic!!)
-has extra tasty calories for the pollinators maybe

In any case, there aren't GM raspberries as far as I'm aware. GM fruit in general is pretty rare.

Genetic modification expensive to do & even more expensive to do regulatory compliance for. So the only crops that get it are bulk commodities like corn that get planted on millions of acres every year.
