The Mizzou Center for Agroforestry just launched a program to breed melons adapted to grow under the shade of tree crops, and I can't get over how cute these promotional photos are

Yesterday I visited a chicken-hazelnut agroforestry system. One of the issues with “free range” chickens is that the birds don't feel safe in open pasture, as they evolved to hide from sky-dwelling predators. The cover provided by shrubby hazelnuts allows them a sense of safety.

On the one hand, I love this idea of including a playlist in a book. On the other hand, I just know if it becomes popular it'll immediately be used by media conglomerates for cross-promotion and not actually be crafted by the author.

No shade to the author, but this strikes me as a deeply coastal problem. Come to the Midwest! The land where you can get a seat at the best restaurants just by walking in! www.eater.com/trends/97251...

Screenshot of the linked article reading "That reminds me: A similar email appeared in my inbox last week from the Italian restaurant Swoony’s. “Book a table through our website or Google Reserve,” it told me, both options of which appear to also be powered by SevenRooms. As if reservations weren’t already hard enough to get based on availability alone, we must now seemingly keep track of several apps simultaneously and have a mental index of which one each restaurant uses — woof! When did the very act of making a reservation or finding one get so tedious, requiring all this cross-referencing and Google searching and the downloading of so many separate apps?"

As we approach the nation's 250th, agriculture has been a mainstay, especially at the Great American State Fair. Which raises the question, how was agriculture celebrated during the Bicentennial? On the eve of our 200th birthday, a pillar of agrarian recognition was established: the Century Farm

Entirely predictable. Skimp out on ingredients for years and just when consumers begin to notice release a nebulous “new and improved” version
