knowledge and of agricultural plant material agricultural implements. this this image here of what's called general washington's -- hardly seems like the start of a new era of enlightened exchange. but in fact it was that this is this is a documentation of washington's first improvement project after the revolutionary war he decided that he wanted to breed mules and that amules were supposed to be superior to all other draft animals in their endurance in their longevity and also in the cost of their upkeep and he um decides he wants to procure a spanish -- which was considered the best animal from which to breed mules, but they were prohibited from export from spain and when he sends out some letters trying to find out how he might get one. it sets in play a whole network of highest level of diplomatic circles in in europe and it also attracts the attention of the king of spain charles king charles the third recognizes that um, this is a new way of supporting their ally in the revolutionary war and he orders that one of our two of the prize animals woul

overtime, washington's ideas on agriculture and agricultural labor changed, based on his own experiences in applications of modern farming techniques. in today's program we will hear from author, bruce ragsdale, whose new book, washington at the plow, discusses these changes. explains how washington's passion for farming led him to question the reliance on slave labor. bruce rag dale served for 20 years as director of the federal judiciary at the federal judicial center. the author of a planters republic with urge for independents in revolutionary virginia, he has been a fellow at the washington library, mount vernon, and the international center for jefferson studies. now let's hear from bruce ragsdale, thank you for joining us today. >> thank you, i am delighted to have this opportunity to speak to the audience that the national archives. i rely so heavily on founders online, it is a wonderful resource that has all of the public correspondence of washington and other founders. making it so accessible to make this research. the book is an attempt to write a full history of washington's

the agriculture we are about is agriculture from around the country that we benefit them. yuma arizona, other places right along the mainline that produced fruits and vegetables that everyone in the country enjoys. let us that people eat from november to april. 90% comes from yuma arizona. were talking about agricultural production. host: in 2021, there was an investigation. here's what they want. making a bad situation worst means that we have a lot of wasteful practices to add to the threat of the region. the majority of water goes to growing non-essential crops like other grasses that feed cattle for meat production. much of those grasses are exported in the middle east and asia. which crops are allowed, and which authorities may not have the authority to do that. it may fall to consumers to drive change, and the data suggests that if americans avoid meat, they could save an amount of water equivalent to the entire flow of the colorado each year, more than enough water to alleviate the recent shortages. what is your reaction? guest: it is certainly the case that putting

naturally. uh, agriculture suffered.h, so the coronavirus is number two, but the response, uh, to the pandemic that has been taken in western countries. they affected the whole world. uh, let's say uh, as uh, measures to stimulate domestic demand in the west, they began to print non- stop money that was essentially not backed by anything the united states printed five and six billion dollars japan 2 billion and the european union a billion all this money was in the press well, the international system, of course, the demand for themselves. uh, western countries delayed, but thus created a deficit in other countries unleashed inflation, therefore, here are the mistakes in planning currencies for the financial system. they are on the face. and, by the way, recently, uh, the us treasury secretary recognized the euro, another factor no less important is attempts to switch to accelerated green energy and carbonization. er, of course it's necessary, er, the planet can't be destroyed. eh, thoughtless attitudes towards nature, b

there is no agriculture, but how effectively is agriculture using the precious resource and what is it being used for? to grow feed crops for example. this here is off alpha hay, which is used for cattle and what we're coming up on is couple fields of alfalfa. and what we see here is the sprinkler irrigation system for the imperial irrigation district is right at the end of the colorado river. but it is 1st in line for the water, right? it has the senior water, right? so it has access to a tremendous amount of water to grow alfalfa in the middle of the desert. this is to me a growth misuse of this, of this great, right? that they have this great unfettered access to a tremendous amount of water and about 75 percent of the alpha that is grown in the imperial irrigation district is exported to china. so that is like taking colorado river water and shipping it to china is the agriculture industry, even aware of the situation, the enormous agricultural sector is keenly aware of how scarce it is because they fight to the death for it, and they lobby for it. you know, in state houses and in

d agricultural association. the idea knows the value of its water without water, so everything here would disappear. i these main concern is the protection of its water rights, and these have been argued or for the years, but we, we still have these water right. that for, for this water, for mainly, for agriculture purposes. yes, sir, in this appellate industry, but it's really important that we keep that because we are providing food and fiber for the nation. without water, there is no agriculture, but how effectively is agriculture using the precious resource and what is it being used for? to grow feed crops, for example, this here is alpha hay which is used for cattle. and what we're coming up on is couple fields of alfalfa. and what we see here is the sprinkler irrigation system for the imperial irrigation district is right at the end of the colorado river. but it is 1st in line for the water, right? it has the senior water, right? so it has access to a tremendous amount of water to grow alfalfa in the middl

this doesn't wash with agricultural expert. i'm on navy and he says the farming lobby, and marcia is so powerful that hardly any one is afraid. please. all the authorities and that alleys supposedly high standards are a foss i little. but if, if he has been in the big food chains dominate the market, a lot they own more than 95 percent. he normal bargain, but they pay next to nothing but they try to get everything cheaper. even buy one sent to pull them out. sometimes they pay the corners, nothing was done by a lady, so farmers produce gets worse and worse because they can't afford to improve anything. that is all about one thing that being cheap or get stuck in this one i meant to get it. but up the mom, i know it's likely a victim of this business model. in the summer time cleaners are deployed to reach the beaches of audi. but environmental if say the effect is purely metric pager lou ingo is afraid of the mom in all his in such a poor state that soon it may be beyond rescue. the war and ukraine has intensified existing pres

this is, of course, the order of our agricultural producers.t of all , what they need is what we give more priority to, of course, hmm, attention is also paid to how the agricultural prospects will develop in the next 2-3 years and there will be no order for a certain crop, but the breeding process is very long from 7 up to 12 years old. and if we do not start work now, then in 12 years we will not have a new variety. and therefore it is necessary to work on all cultures, and to allocate priority already. before the release of the variety, there is a bank at the production center genetic resources, unique throughout the cis, why is it considered so unique that it contains? as it is replenished, it is impossible to say that it is absolutely unique. still. this genetic bank is, as it were, a clone from the great all-union institute of plant industry, which is located in st. petersburg, its foundation was laid by the great soviet scientist vavilov, and in that bank there were and are, so to speak, those sources from which our bank went there is a

this doesn't wash with agricultural expert. i'm on nevada, he says to farming lobby, and marcia is so powerful that hardly any one is afraid of police or the authorities. and that alleys supposedly high standards, are a foss, magland little bit, if you can, and the big food chains dominate the market. holla, they own more than 95 percent, a normal bargain, but they pay next to nothing. but they tried to get everything cheaper even by one sent to pull them up. sometimes they pay the farmers. nothing weakens not tunnel by aligning. so farmers produce gets worse and worse because they can't afford to improve anything. that is all about one thing that being cheap or get stuck in this one i meant to get it brought up. the mom in law is likely a victim of this business model. in the summer time cleaners are deployed to rid the beaches of audi, but environmental if say, the effect is purely cosmetic pager, lorenzo is afraid that the mom and all is in such a poor state that soon it may be beyond rescue. the war in ukraine has intensifi

are a critical foundation of agriculture. they are indispensable him and without bees there would be no fruit at please 75 percent of what we eat, drink, and where was pollinated by b y baccha. drilling into nicea be keep is like las chevy also collect data from beehives. the early warning system, smart b, since live updates on temperature and humidity, chop rises or drops in either can harm the bees. and there's more like a set of halleck, eroni, india, and as you metallic the, the, the information we received from this electronic device. i recommend, it shows us the best hives we own denying will not definite listing. i mean, we can use these hives for selective breeding, ma'am. and them emily kit this way, eliana can identify which queen bee is most resilient against diseases and can produce the most honey. he says this technology has increased his yield by about 30 to 40 percent. oh, what if you could pick tappers and harvest corns simply by swipe be on your phone in nigeria, computer science graduate. rebecca, a move has

one of the most promising approaches to get there is data, data driven agriculture. that is, if you could use data and e i along with and copied with the bombers knowledge about the farm. you have a good shot at increasing food production. this acro farm in malaysia uses the smart farming system. smart tani senses in the water collect data that are important for the growth and health of the lobsters. bread here, such as ph and oxygen levels, as well as the water temperature. we can see her temperature, her i this, or me delivered. previously we do everything manually. we have to use it which is a very expensive and we have to wait again again. so now we adult earth energy, we can use it. we bake one time any. i can help us to collect all the data and then tell us to edit every single issue here. placing the phone on the app pharma farhana of ozzy's can access the dashboard where daughter is analyzed whenever problems arise, the absence notifications which allow farhana and her colleagues to react quickly. this way they can keep a constant eye and water quality withou

agricultural enterprise.ble to take them for the production and processing of agricultural raw materials and also for the purchase of refrigerated containers. that will allow timely delivery of perishable products over long distances, preferential investment loans, agricultural producers will be able to receive at a rate of up to five percent for livestock, 2 up to 15 years and take a short term loan at the same rate. at the same time , floating duties on grain exports remain effective in maintaining a balance in the market, and the ministry of agriculture is not considering their abolition, but if necessary , a calculation mechanism. maybe adjusted so the duties have already been converted into rubles. this reduced the impact of world prices on and the dynamics of exchange rates for the formula, the base cost of a ton is set at 15,000 rubles. for wheat about 14 for barley and corn, if export prices reach this level, the duty will automatically become zero. the mechanism allows you to successfully meet the ne

save our, our agricultural industry here and dave, our ecosystems in our fish. he'll our communities like that's ultimately we are all just trying to survive. can thrive. guess i, i offered up this conversation to audience on youtube as well as watching on tv. copper thought said this very quickly. let's make this a speed route. this is stella, doro, dela doors says the native indigenous peoples are not the ones who contributed heavily to pollution for climate change, let alone misuse the land instant reaction from you, emma. i think that's largely true. i think it's also true that we're in a unique situation in the climate based on that, that our own soil is so rich and nutrients that it's polluting the lake, just the volcanic soil around here. so it's wetland restoration that's going to save us in the upper basin. another one, this one i'm going to put to you, been cutting edge best practices, inefficient irrigation and land quote, management of the lease that's required and greatly appreciate it by your thoughts of the farmer. my my thoughts as a farmer is th

weaving is the oldest of the crafts, it is known to many agricultural peoples, from the very earliest ancient times. people used all the grains in their daily lives. straw insulated the peasant's house. helped him in lean years was a parcel for pets, who played a very important role in his life the cultivation of cereal plants formed a source of raw material straw, and it was widely used, which today is woven from straw and straw. today, you can create a great variety of a wide variety of products, thanks to the global network. internet exchange of experience of masters of near and far abroad is carried out such a constant enrichment. and you can choose the direction for each master to their liking. well, what is more difficult today is to prepare the material or directly work with the product all these stages, it is very important to stock up on good quality material to collect with a sickle to manually press the straw uh, cereal plants. best of all, it is rye or triticales, but other cereals, wheat, oats are also used, and it is very important to imagine the stages of its manufactur

but when you think about it, agriculture as a whole. i 98 percent of america's farm land is owned by european americans by white people. so only 2 percent of americans farm land are owned by people of color that in and of itself. sort of example buys a problem. when i see you nodding, just very briefly as we wrap up the show, oh no i i, i agree with that. um, you know, that's, that's of that. and i don't think that we should hide from our history and the things around in the past. oh, they said that, you know, i've heard talked about for, i'm waiting till i'm charged. you know, there's, yeah, there's huge problems in the past. and i think that we need to acknowledge that so that we can work from it. so really don't repeat those same mistakes in the future . i really appreciate you having us very candid conversation and a very role on right here on the stream. joey and ben and emma, thank you so much, i q on you too, for your comments. no questions have a look here on my laptop. the reason we started this conversation was because of a fo

i looked at what seems to be 10% of gdp in principle forms the agricultural sector according to last what figures do you have that you can recall? well, about 10% of gdp, about 40% of exports, again, we need to look at it from 7, that is, if we are talking about 14-15 years, when world prices were quite low and therefore there, the share of the agricultural sector was insignificant, if we are talking about 20-21 years, then the share of agricultural exports was really significant, that is, it can be conditionally multiplied. i would say $500, 100 tons, this is the weighted average price of wheat, corn and sunflower oil. they are possible a little more, but they can be counted and multiplied by 7 million per month , that is, we are talking about huge sums. what has changed after the russian invasion, uh, how have our export capabilities changed , and uh, they have changed radically, that is, it is no secret to anyone that the sea ports were blocked and we became to export e-e grain through the western borders, but there are a lot of different barriers , it is low e-e throughput capaci

at the age of 33, the deputy minister of agriculture of poland has finally adorned trust at the age of3. the deputy minister of agriculture of poland has not become famous for anything, if you do not read the corruption scandal. however, the minute of glory has come norbert, the nightmare played a wedding the other day, where he invited 1,500 guests, and a festive cortege. later, this equipment was headed by a brand new tractor, we saw the deputy minister at the compound. journalists are interested. who gave the official a gift worth 300,000 euros. after all, in the declaration of kochmarchik, the tractor, before figured. after a long silence, the official published a press release in which he said that john deere had been given to him by his brother. however, it turned out that he was not so rich, such gifts could not afford him, he was suspected of lobbying the interests of an agricultural corporation. only these structures can easily afford to present tractors. belarusian agrarians continue to replenish the country's food supply, work does not stop and in peklo karavay weighs almost

nope, liberated ecosystem to create agriculture at the expense of our tribes. that's the way it's been since time get the strong pay good away from the wing outlines, investigate how climate change his pissing an oregon town to breaking point. we will fight because it's in a blood. we are literally to the point that people are going to start seeing each other. when the water fell on al jazeera, johnny asked to talk about the water conflicts that you just saw that joey from the trailer. and i ren hello, emma. it's a nice have you all on the string to day joey. introduce yourself to our international audience. tell them who you are. what you do. hi, my name is joey gentry and i am a member of the klamath tribe. i am not on our official tribal government and i am not an official spokesperson. i just care deeply about my community, my homeland, my home town, and i just want us to heal. hello bad. welcome to the stream. introduce yourself to our global audience. my name is ben duval, and i'm a former or south o 2, a california along with my wife and 2 daughters, reg

it is obvious that the minister of agriculture and food is like a squirrel in a wheel. you. in every bad deed, there is something good and positive. and perhaps only the president fully able to assess the degree of success of their tasks. we do n't see much from the outside. we do not know, we estimate only the tip of the iceberg, for example, in russia it was customary to scold the head of the national bank, nabiullina. people read the news about the fact that in europe they blocked, but, in fact, stole the money of the russian central bank and were indignant. well, how did elvira let this happen backwards? this is a crime, and at that time putin extends nabiullina's contract, praises her and rewards her, because elvira, with such a task, brilliantly fulfilled the set task returned from europe the prevailing part of russian money. so europe and the united states did not guess that they had thought of something, namely to break the dollar, understand that this is brussels, london and washington before russian financial losses would have been much greater, and the entire

i hope that you will finish the current year with a growth rate of agricultural products of at least%. we must not fall behind these indicators, the republic has every chance to get to this level, the second, as a number of management organizations report to me, finished the first half of the year with a loss, nevertheless, white art ceramics, slutsk belts, a hotel. planet furniture. the interior center of such a year-end should not really be inefficient work. it is necessary to eliminate in the shortest possible time no unprofitable organizations should not be the third. topics of exports are kept almost at the level of the previous year . i know the reasons. this is bitumen to ukraine, the country's lumber export the european union needs to step up. this is just the task of solving these problems. diversification of the supply of such products is a topical issue. it is good that almost all the falling volumes are covered by food exports. however, this was not enough. it is necessary to look for markets in the south asian region and other directions. do not wait. offer it to victor

i hope that you will finish the current years with a growth rate agricultural products by at least 104%. it is necessary no to become from these indicators, the republic has every chance to reach this level, the second, as i am informed by a number of management organizations, ended the first half of the year with a loss, however. belkhudozh ceramics slutsk belts hotel planet furniture interior center such a year should not really be inefficient work should be eliminated as soon as possible no unprofitable organizations should not exist, the third volume of exports is kept almost at the level of the past year did not reach slightly more than one percent. i am aware of the reason. this is bitumen. in ukraine , the export of sawn timber from the countries of the european union, it is necessary to intensify. this is just the task of solving these problems. diversification of the supply of such products is a topical issue. it is good that almost all the falling volumes are covered by food exports. however, this was not enough. it is necessary to look for markets in the south asian region in

this, of course, is the order of our agricultural producers.n that we pay more the priority, of course, is also hmm, attention is also paid to how the agricultural perspective will develop in the next 2-3 years and will not be ordered for a specific crop, but the selection process is very long from 7 to 12 years. and if we start working now, then in 12 years we will not have a new variety. and therefore it is necessary to work on all cultures, and to allocate priority already. before the release of a variety for production, there is a bank of genetic resources, unique throughout the cis , which is why it is considered so unique that does it contain? as it is replenished , it is impossible to say that it is absolutely unique. still. this genetic bank is, as it were, a clone from the great all-union institute of plant industry, which is located in st. petersburg, its foundation was laid by the great soviet scientist vavilov, and in that bank there were and are, so to speak , those sources from which our bank went there is a worldwide collection.

it's easy, but they don't have enough agriculture land to produce widths. for example, that is right crease for dickens. europe has imported a lot of grain from ukraine. now they are growing campaigns to free up more land for ugly culture. for example, on the italian island of sicily. but it's not that simple. the war in ukraine has created demand on open space for other purposes. energy production, the area around connie and western sicily is so rich in wind and sun, it's bulking a wave of gold rush, beaver architect and nino mazata says it's an older radi for renewables to in the city or event. everyone's landing under the sky on the french, german americans, not just italians, not going to go to a national companies want to invest in the production of electricity, which is generated by our wind down when the wind turbines are turning, that means business is booming for the sicilian mazata broke his licenses for wind and solar parks. that includes fields where grain, one screw saw the tortoise and angelo still farms his land. here in eastern sicily, his f

we have our own structure of agricultural production, its key issue is obviously that if the big ownerslay by the rules, if they pay taxes if production is organized well and let them work, what is the problem and besides grain, what else do we export, what are our main export groups of goods and if possible, where do we export who are our trading partners." we also manage to export them, and this is very good from my point of view, about 14.8% of our exports are ferrous metals . 9.4% machinery, somewhere around 6.5% electric machines, that is, speaking ukrainian export, on the one hand, has several such specializations, this is agriculture, ferrous metals, some types of chemical products, some types of mechanical engineering, and a wide range of different types of products, different types of products in different sectors of the economy, but at the same time, we must forget that these figures are based on the current volumes and unfortunately, in connection with the war and the problems that we are currently experiencing, ukrainian exports decreased in january, may, it was only about 8

the agricultural board offers training course is lasting several weeks. they run by a government initiative called greening gorenca. the farmers towards which grasses are especially nutritious, like the thin roads grass stored in crates. it will keep for almost 3 years. another conventional option is napier grass, which can be stored in the ground from either quarter mom or your prefer. we have just compressed the fodder and covered the last part with a tarpaulin. that way the ground will be covered and we will create go, used to prevent water from penetrating the grass and worked out for $33.00 to $4.00 in the store. this way, napier grass will also keep for up to 3 years. it allows farmers to keep feeding their herds through several dry seasons, which usually last for 3 to 4 months of the year. the kid, along with that, what's new for me is that i now know how to adapt to any changes in the climate. i'll be able to feed my cattle and i don't have to worry any more of what is happening. nissan. rebellion hungary zane has had his livestock inside now for

unlike artificial sweeteners, such proteins are obtained, including agricultural products, this yeary harvest 55 cents in total plans to get 3.5 million tons of crops vitamins, that is , we had a lot at the beginning of the problem , 3.3 billion rubles helped a lot in the ministry of agriculture of the russian federation. we received very quickly for 23 years. we see that there are certain risks, we will turn to the ministry of agriculture if our resources are not enough. vyacheslav gladkov noted that the economy of the belgorod region today rests on two pillars, metallurgy and agriculture. and i would like a third small and medium-sized business, there is development, but it is important to become more sustainable changes, the volume of business support. this year, more than one and a half billion rubles. these are federal and regional funds. went to experiment. conducted a competition of new possible. even they were surprised by the results. we following the results of the competition, as they said, who wants, who has an idea, come to us. we will teach started to teach people with

according to him , the water blockade of crimea led to the decline of agriculture here in kherson, if2013 year. eh, the kherson region has grown almost 2 million tons of vegetables there. the figure was already 600,000 there. the area was swept by a wave of protests, farmers simply threw their crops into the nearest ravine, but the problem of agrarians in kiev was of little interest to the supervisory regulatory agencies. instead of helping farmers , they engaged in racketeering. i want to say that here his work, that is, specifically necessary. this is what you want to get. do you want, uh, the technician to receive the amount there. what percentage, let's say , allocates 10 million there, that is, a million should give 10% minimum. this is the case and up to twenty percent. this is what i don't agree with. here, nothing worked in the field of environmental control. after the liberation of kherson, he did not run away, as many officials estimated by the organization of the work of the agricultural inspection. now the main task is to create a reference center that will work on rospotr

agricultural enterprises will be able to take them for production and processing of agricultural raw the purchase of refrigerated containers. in order to allow timely delivery of perishable products over long distances, preferential investment loans, agricultural producers will be able to receive loans at a rate of up to 5%, for a period of 2 to 15 years and at the same rate, take a loan for a short period of time, the relevant resolution was signed. and now the footage from estonia , the territory where the soviet memorial tank t-34 stood the day before, now the area looks like this razed to the ground and chaotically planted with trees. well, no matter how hard the official tallinn tries to cancel everything connected with our country, the memory of the feat of soviet soldiers. it is impossible to erase, the inhabitants of narva all day all last night carried flowers and candles to the place of the memorial. let me remind you the day before, only seven monuments with soviet symbols were dismantled in this city. in total, it was decided across the country to demolish several hundred
