@Priotero Couple of very quick shots between rain showers (naff day here). Handy this is the view from across the road at home 😀
These are at 50mm and 230mm on the Fujifilm XC50-230 mm Lens f4.5-6.7, hope they help Pedro 😀

Hmmm... so what do we make of #RachelReeves commitment not to scrap #inheritancetax relief on #farmland?
On one side; this should help #farmers keep family farms going across generations... which I'm sure will be popular with the rural community;
But, on the other when we know a third of farmland is bought by private investors (often to avoid IHT) we might have pause for thought.
However, as a mechanism of encouraging rural #Tories not to vote against Labour it has its attractions...
Few test shots from the new Ttartisan lens, very quick grabs as out working.
Very responsive auto focus even in the dark, and low light seems really nice for blacks and light sources. Really pleased for £159.

Christina Larson and Nicky Forster of AP examine growing population and land required to feed all the people. A map shows spreading #farmland over the centuries and at some point there won’t be enough land to grow food if we continue what we’ve been doing:

261 Sunset
Found a spot to drive a little off of highway 261, just south of Ritzville, WA, for a bit of an early sunset shot. Still managed to catch some colors in the sky and the rolling fields were never ending it seemed like. (10/28/23)

"As #hurricanes get stronger, #StormSurges are bringing #saltwater to #farmland—and leaving salt there once waters evaporate.
#SoilSalinization occurs when seawater from floods eventually evaporates but leaves behind its salt content, which accumulates over years in the soil. With enough flooding, the soil on farms could become so salinized that crops can no longer be grown on that land."

A new tool in the fight to save the planet?
Many democracies do, in theory, guarantee their citizens the #right to clean #air, #water, #farmland, #forests and other #natural #resources.
The idea of getting #judges to enforce this guarantee in more places is not unreasonable. Governments would merely be held to promises they’ve already made.
The Montana ruling, for instance, rests on an explicit promise in the state’s constitution
(And a 6th-century Roman doctrine.)

Unfortunately, the public comment period for this project has passed. But this editorial has good information in it.
EDITORIAL: Keep #PFAS out of recycled sewage sludge
By Gazette Editorial Board | June 9, 2023
"PFAS chemicals have recently been at the heart of health and environmental issues in Hoosick Falls, Petersburgh and other areas around the state, leading to legal action, tougher regulations and cleanup efforts.
"The chemicals have been linked to a variety of health issues, including kidney and testicular cancer, thyroid disease, colitis and high blood pressure.
"In most cases, the environmental contamination comes from the discharge of the compounds into the soil from manufacturers of products that use PFAS chemicals, such as #nonStick cooking material, #firefighting foam and stain-resistant #carpet.
"But those same dangerous chemicals may also be finding their way in greater amounts into our #soil, #groundwater and even #FoodSupply through their use in #fertilizers made from #sewage #sludge.
"It’s imperative that [#NewYorkState] do all it can to reduce PFAS chemicals into the environment, not add to them.
"That’s why groups like the #SierraClub and the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York are among those concerned about an element of the state Department of Environmental Conservation’s draft Solid Waste Management plan that could nearly triple the amount of recycled sewage sludge used in fertilizer and applied to #farmland and home #gardens.
"According to an article in the Altamont Enterprise, the DEC projects that 425,585 tons of sewage sludge is expected to be recycled this year. In 2018, the amount recycled was just over 300,000 tons. By 2050, the amount of recycled sludge is expected to rise to 782,527 tons, the newspaper reported.
"The potential for that sludge to contain PFAS chemicals means that there could be an increase in PFAS’s making their way into the environment.
"DEC officials said they recognize the potential for PFAS chemicals to re-enter the environment through sludge and they’re taking steps to address it, including proposing sampling requirements for so-called biosolids recycled in New York state, a comprehensive risk assessment to determine a limit for biosolids recycling, and efforts to identify potential commercial and industrial sources of PFAS chemicals in biosolids.
"The public really needs to keep an eye on this effort to ensure that the state is doing all it can to avoid contributing to more of these chemicals entering the environment."

Here's @bloombergbusiness connecting the dots right in the headline
"Not long ago, #Canada was seen by some as a potential winner from #GlobalWarming, with vast stretches of frozen tundra thawing into fertile #farmland. Now it’s on fire. Cranking up the heat in a system as complex as a planetary #climate has complex effects, it turns out.
And the notion that some people can be sheltered indefinitely from those effects is just as silly."
I feel like I’ve been head-down in work and just consuming, not sharing anything out. So here’s a photo from the Palouse several years ago. It’s hard to convey not only the serenity of an early morning like this, but also the sense of shared creativity to be on top of Steptoe Butte with a bunch of other photographers looking for magic.

Why are Saudi farmers pumping Arizona groundwater?
In 2015 a deal between the #Saudi agribusiness company Fondomonte and the #Arizona State Land Department allowed Fondomonte to lease desert #farmland west of Phoenix at one-sixth its market value and pump groundwater from Phoenix’s water reserves.
