This week, we've learned a lot, and last week of course, we've learned about House Intelligence
Committee Chair Devin Nunes.
This guy is running it seems to be his own investigation into the Trump wiretapping Russian
investigations.
But man, this guy is wrong.
I mean, really, really wrong.
He's canceling public meetings, he's meeting in secret at the White House, outside of the
White House in secret rooms and bumbling that up.
This guy's got to go.
He does have to recuse himself from the investigations.
But one thing I found a little puzzling is that the Washington Post had a glaring, blaring
article against Nunes.
They were calling for an investigation, not into just his role in the investigation, but
into the leaks and how the leaks got in Nunes's hands.
There's a lot of irony in that, the Washington Post calling an investigation into leaks.
The Washington Post thrives on leaks.
Matter of fact, if it benefits their narrative, they're going to actively pursue leaks, whether
it's leaks from the Trump White House getting to them first, or even a State Department
memo that was about leaks leaking to the press and it got to the Washington Post first.
They've even got the entire content of Michael Flynn's conversation with a Russian diplomat.
But I don't see the Washington Post calling for a look into how those leaks got out.
But if the Washington Post themselves were involved, man, you'd better back up, because
they don't want you in the way of their cozy relationships with politicians.
For instance, John Podesta.
He was named in the Wikileaks scandal.
So were several of the Washington Post reporters.
But they ignored that, and they instead focused on the validity of the leaks.
So why are we calling into this Nunes looking for a smoking gun?
If you're the Washington Post, you need to do a lot better at being transparent about
how you feel about leaks on any given party.

Rebecca Solnit Reads from "The Mother of All Questions"; Discusses Hope & Resistance - Duration: 14:21.
AMY GOODMAN: This is Democracy Now!, democracynow.org, The War and Peace Report.
I'm Amy Goodman, as we bring you Part 2 of our conversation with Rebecca Solnit, the
writer, historian, the activist, author of more than 20 books, including, most recently,
The Mother of All Questions.
Let's start there.
We ended Part 1 of our conversation with "the mother of all questions," but if you can talk
again about what that means to you?
REBECCA SOLNIT: Yeah, "The Mother of All Questions" was, you know, sort of a joke title for those
questions that try and—that are really not questions.
They're statements that—you know, "Why don't you have children?" is saying, "You
should have children.
I'm going to harass you for not having children."
It happened to me in an interview that was supposed to be about a political book of mine.
The guy spent the first 15 minutes just sort of hounding me about my reproductive choices
and couldn't find any of the answers adequate.
And I know a lot of younger friends of mine are being harassed about those questions.
It's really—it's the kind of questions that attempt to reduce women to breeding units,
to assume that reproductive activity and personal life is public business, as women's bodies
often and even usually are.
It's part of the larger idea that there's a one-size-fits-all recipe for happiness we
should all conform to, despite the fact we know lots of people who have conformed to
it and aren't happy.
And, you know, it's a kind of punitive normalizing force against which I think we can raise subtler
questions about the nature of happiness or maybe question the idea that happiness is
what we're here for.
Maybe we're here for meaning and purpose and, you know, other things.
And somewhere in that essay, I say there are so many other things to love.
And I know the way you love your work, and you're passionate about democracy and social
justice, etc.
There's a lot of other kinds of love that we don't talk nearly enough about, I've
been trying really hard to talk about for 20 years.
AMY GOODMAN: I want to turn to chapter three of your book, "Silence: The Cages."
Talk about the silencing of people, good silence, bad silence, what quiet means.
REBECCA SOLNIT: Yeah, this is a big essay that's the big new part of the book.
Many of the other essays have been published in The Guardian and Harper's.
And I really set out thinking I was going to write about how women are silenced.
And there are innumerable ways, and with silence really standing in for powerlessness, because
to have a voice, which means not just being able to utter words, but to have them respected
when you say "no," which is what the campus consent laws are about, to have a voice in
the fate of your body, which is what reproductive rights mean, to have a voice in a society,
which is what voting rights mean, are all things that we're still struggling for in
different ways.
And, you know, so—but I realized, as I wrote it, that we needed to talk about how men are
silenced, as well, that there's a kind of reciprocity of silences in conventional roles,
which both men and women have revolted against, but, you know, in a revolution still underway.
And I distinguished silence from quiet for the sake of this essay, because we have so
many blurry overlapping words in English.
And quiet is the choice to be in tranquility, to withdraw, to be—maybe to look inward.
Silence, I wanted to use for that lack of voice enforced from outside.
AMY GOODMAN: You also talk about the issue of sexual assault and sexual violence, from
Roger Ailes to Bill Cosby.
Now you have a self-confessed sexual assaulter as the president of the United States.
You have women who have made charges against him, who have described what he—who have
alleged what he did to them.
He said he would sue them right after the election.
He has not.
He, himself, in a videotape so many people heard, talked about not being able to help
himself—
REBECCA SOLNIT: Yeah.
AMY GOODMAN: —as he went after women, just grabbing them.
What does this mean to you?
REBECCA SOLNIT: You know, it's appalling that that didn't stop him, that people were
willing to vote for him anyway, that people were willing to disbelieve the just—you
know, these women, or give their voice no weight, when they talked about somebody who
was committing felonious sexual assaults.
And—but more broadly, we are in this interesting moment where Cosby got away with it for half
a century, Roger Ailes got away with it for decades, we've seen a lot of people who
got away with these things for a long time, not getting away with them now.
I believe passionately that assaults on women, from domestic violence to street harassment
and stranger assault to campus rape and the other kinds of sexual violence we live in,
is an epidemic.
It's a war.
It's a crisis.
And I've tried for decades now, it feels like, to try and get people to see how profoundly
it limits women's ability to participate fully, to be free, to be equal.
And, you know, it's a crisis that's gone on so long that it's just become the norm.
And maybe we should just call it patriarchy.
But things are changing.
And the woman who finally spoke out against Roger Ailes was heard, and a lot of other
women came forward to support her, which is how it's often happened, with Cosby, with
many cases, of real solidarity and support in between women to testify, to reinforce
each other's voices, because women's voices are so often discredited as part of that silencing.
So, I think we're in a transformative time.
I also think we're in the midst of a huge backlash.
I think it could go either way.
When I speak hopefully, it's never like this—it's not optimism: "This will happen.
We can all kick back."
It's "There's room here for us, if we do—if we fight with all our might, to change
things for the better."
And feminism has changed things so profoundly in our lifetimes that I'm still hopeful
about it, despite having the pussy-grabber-in-chief in the White House, despite this sort of new
alt-right misogyny and this administration.
AMY GOODMAN: You helped popularize the word "mansplaining."
What does that mean to you?
REBECCA SOLNIT: Yeah, I wrote an essay in 2008 called "Men Explain Things to Me," and
some anonymous blogger, who I still wish would come forward, coined the word "mansplaining"
the next week, which now is in 34 languages.
It's in The Oxford English Dictionary.
It's a normal part of the vocabulary.
It's about that circumstance, which happened to me this week, in which a man assumes he
knows, and a woman doesn't, and when in fact the reverse is true.
And I met a woman last night who's a financial expert, who has a young man in her department
explaining to her something that he doesn't fully understand, and she's the—you know,
the departmental chair—expert on.
So, it's the assumption that knowledge is somehow inherent in the male condition, ignorance
in the female condition, you know, that kind of patronizing bullying, taking up too much
room in the conversation, you know.
And the example that I used in that essay, which has had quite a life, the first example
I used—there are many—is a man telling me about the very important book I should
know about, that turned out to be a book I wrote, but he wouldn't slow down long enough
to hear my friend Sally keep saying, "That's her book.
That's her book."
So a man told me I should read this book that—
AMY GOODMAN: That you had written.
REBECCA SOLNIT: That I had written, yes.
That's mansplaining at its finest.
AMY GOODMAN: Did you understand your book better once he explained it to you?
REBECCA SOLNIT: No.
AMY GOODMAN: How about reading a section—
REBECCA SOLNIT: OK.
AMY GOODMAN: —from The Mother of All Questions.
Again, we're speaking to Rebecca Solnit, writer, historian, activist.
She's author of 20 books, this her latest.
REBECCA SOLNIT: I'm going to read the last couple paragraphs from the "Short History
of Silence."
[reading] "There is always something unsaid and yet to be said, always someone struggling
to find the words and the will to tell her story.
Every day each of us invents the world and the self who meets that world, opens up or
closes down space for others within that.
Silence is forever being broken, and then like waves lapping over the footprints, the
sandcastles and washed-up shells and seaweed, silence rises again.
"We make ourselves in part out of our stories about ourselves and our world, separately
and together.
The great feminist experiment of remaking the world by remaking our ideas of gender
and challenging who has the right to break the silence has been wildly successful and
remains extremely incomplete.
Undoing the social frameworks of millennia is not the work of a generation or a few decades
but a process of creation and destruction that is epic in scope and often embattled
in execution.
It is work that involves the smallest everyday gestures and exchanges and the changing of
laws, beliefs, politics, and culture at the national and international scale.
"The task of calling things by their true names, of telling the truth to the best of
our abilities, of knowing how we got here, of listening particularly to those who have
been silenced in the past, of seeing how the myriad stories fit together and break apart,
of using any privilege we may have been handed to undo privilege or expand its scope is each
of our tasks.
It's how we make the world."
AMY GOODMAN: Rebecca Solnit, reading from her book The Mother of All Questions.
In this era of Trump, talk about what's gone on for you in your community, inside
yourself, once he was elected and once you see what has transpired since, in this period
which is far less than his first 100 days.
REBECCA SOLNIT: I'm—one of the things I talk about in the book is it's a misnomer
that a reaction to danger is fight or flight.
That was based on studying male rodents and male human beings.
There's a third sort of gather and tend and—tend and befriend, they call it.
And that's what I saw immediately after the election.
People reached out to say, "How are you?
I'm here with you.
We're in this together."
There's been this massive wave of sort of solidarity and people, I think, not being
nitpicky about small differences, because across huge differences—you know, your Catholic
friends, your Muslim friends, your secular friends, your anarchist friends, your Marxist
friends—are all opposed to this administration, in many cases.
And so, there's been this extraordinary expression and action of solidarity, people
standing up for each other, that's been beautiful.
It has been incredibly exciting.
I'm not nostalgic for who we would have been under a Hillary Clinton presidency, which
is who we were under a Barack Obama presidency—namely, insufficiently engaged and deeply divided
within ourselves on the left and—you know, and in the mainstream.
So I see tremendous possibility.
But I also see this can fizzle out.
I wrote a book about disasters, A Paradise Built in Hell, about the extraordinary way
people come together after disasters.
We're not social Darwinist barbarians.
We're not nature, red in tooth and claw.
We're beautifully, anarchistically resourceful, communitarian, full of mutual aid, in the
moments after a disaster.
And this confirms that the Trump administration is a huge disaster, like a war, like an earthquake,
like a hurricane, that people have come together from.
But do they understand their own power?
Can they exercise it, build on it, make something permanent out of it, hang on to it, do the
slow, painstaking work of rebuilding a society?
Because I think we need to do nothing less than that, and recognizing, as the radical
right has, that you need to work on local elections, in school boards.
You need to address, you know, how districts are drawn up.
You need to address who gets to vote in our elections.
Can we do that long, slow work of rebuilding?
I think it's possible, as it never has been before, to really shift radically the level
of participation, the set of ideals, the nature of the parties, and do something extraordinary,
but only if people believe it's possible, if they can stick together to some extent,
which doesn't mean smoothing over racism or sexism or, you know, or limiting what we
do in those ways, but means seeing—understanding what we have in common and articulating in
a way that's energized and inspiring, claiming that power and really doing what's possible
with it.
So that's what I'm hoping for.
And every day we see horrible and disgusting things coming from this administration.
But they're chaotic.
They're weak.
They don't know how to govern.
And the chaos and disarray, I think, is full of possibility for us.
I think that it's not a given, but there's real possibilities of just taking them apart
and watching them collapse.
AMY GOODMAN: Rebecca Solnit, I want to thank you for spending this time with us, writer,
historian, activist, author of 20 books, most recently, The Mother of All Questions.
She is a columnist at Harper's, as well.
Her most recent piece, we'll link to, at The Guardian, titled "Protest and persist:
why giving up hope is not an option."

MY JAPAN BOX - MUSIC BOX [Unboxing] (Eng subs) - Duration: 5:55.
Today in line with Music and Japan, let's discover:
My Japan box, Music special
Opening a box standing up is annoying and something might just jump out
Let's get comfy! Like...
here
If you don't know the concept, this is a subscription box, there are various types from different brands
You usually pay around 30-40€ and receive a box full of goodies
Usually there's a monthly theme, this one is a unique box I purchased, not a monthly one
and it's dedicated to Japanese music, so including both J-pop and more traditional music
Not sure what to expect, I reckon there are CDs inside!
That's the only box related to J-pop that I found
Let's go
AH! There's sweets!
First thing I focus on: food...
Very J-pop
What is this?
Cotton wool? Texture is like cotton candy
Yup, cotton candy!
Doesn't it look like a diaper?
Now that my diabete is up, next!
Let's see the first CD: Ayane Ikeda
No idea
We'll give it a listen, Next!
This one looks like a soundtrack for a game, it's written Konami on it
"original soundtrack, New Love Plus"
Never heard of it
As it says Konami, there's a chance it's from an idol game?
It looks cute, Next!
Oh, Bleach! "Bleach, The Best"
Too bad I'm not a big fan but that's a good idea
CD/DVD, let's open it to see
Now that it's here!
You're not helping, Ichigo
It's not opening, that's annoying
HA! Who's laughing now?
HAAA That was my finger!
The box is very pretty, I don't know if you can see but it's shimmery
Inside we have:
Bleach, The best Pinup which illustration cards
Nice, if that was Johnny's I'd have some pretty boys by now!
Well, that's pretty Anime boys
Take what you can, gurl
I like how it says Pin up but that doesn't look very pinup-ish to me
Typically this one: is that pinup or just creepy?
The book!
Lyrics I suppose? Yup, lyrics with illustrations
Bleach, the best CD!
with Orange Range, Beat Crusaders...
and finally: Bleach, the best DVD!
Aah, it's the openings and endings
It's a DVD with all the openings and endings from the series
It's a great idea, too bad I don't care about Bleach
I can make you win it though! If you'd like to get it let me know in the comments!
Soft
Back to the cheeky ladies
Pretty! Reminds me of the Ayumi Hamasaki logo, don't you think?
So I paid this box about 30 Euros? Dollars?
But the value of the CDs is above that
Best of Bleach cost... Wait Ayane, do you mind?
We'll get to you, ok!
Bleach costs 3,800Yens
Ayane Ikeda, 2,500 Yens
New Love Plus, 2,520 Yens
The CDs are almost triple the cost of the box
However I'd have like having stickers in there or random music goods
And idols stuff, like Johnny's, just saying
Even Sexy zone!
That's my desperation: "Even Sexy Zone!"
Anyway!
Ayane
Ballad, boring
"Dear friend", might not be very jolly
I was wrong!
Interesting, I like that
Very pop, the voice is suave-ish, I like it
So far so good!
Next, where's my knife?
Under the laptop
That's so safe!
Cooperate, Konami!
Double wrapping!
Over-wrapping is a Japanese specialty
How many CDs? Ah, 2
It does look like virtual idols, they even have the names
Like Idol Master type of thing? With Schoolgirls!
That's not pervy
I need to check
For the channel, not for me you know...
You're not helping, Konami!
Cute!
Is that instrumentals?
If you know it tell me, I'm a bit lost right now
Come on, drop it!
Yeah, Ok
That... is great for Christmas!
That catches you off-guard!
What's next?
Sounds like depression
That's not a great start
Next? Still no one singing, so it's probably only Instrus
BGM, you know
That's a shame, with that visual I was expecting more!
More of an Ambiance CD then
Let's put this away
before I cut my veins by accident
AAH my mic!
There you go! I hope it was interesting to discover the box together
Let me know if you know the artists or if you want to hear more about them
If there's a box you'd like to recommend to me, I'm still available on social medias: TW, FB, IG
Give this video a thumbs up to let me know you liked it
If you missed last week's video, it's right here!
And as usual, don't forget to subscribe, so you don't miss next week's video!
That's it for me this week, see you soon!
I'll take more diaper

Video: Some sun breaks through - Duration: 3:26.
THOUGH?
KELLY ANN: THAT IS DOWN THE
ROAD.
ANTOINETTE: SUNSHINE THOUGH.
KELLY ANN: POTENTIALLY.
IT'S BEEN SLOW TO MOV IN.
CLOUDS ARE STUCK IN PLACE
ESPECIALLY FOR 495 EASTWARD.
MOVING WESTWARD, WE HAVE SOME
SUN TRYING TO BREAK OUT.
WHERE THE CLOUDS ARE STUCK IN
PLACE COULD SEE PASSENGERS OF
FOR THIS AFTERNOON ESPECIALLY
ALONG OUR COASTLINE.
MAINLY DRY AS YOU HEAD O
TODAY.
INTO THE LATER AFTERNOON THINGS
STARTING TO BRIGHTEN AS WE ARE
SEEING THAT SUN START TO MOVE
OUT.
MOVING INTO SPRINGFIELD WHERE
TEMPERATURES ARE SPIKING TOWARD
50 DEGREES.
THAT SAME STORM SYSTEM WHICH
BROUGHT SEVERE WEATHER DOWN TO
THE SOUTH IS EVENTUALLY MOVING
AWAY.
YOU CAN SEE THE MOISTURE AND
ENERGY WITH THAT SYSTEM.
THAT'S THE MAIN CONCERN AS WE
MOVE INTO THE LATER PORTION OF
THE WO WEEK.
WITH THIS COOLER AIR WE HAVE
TRAPPED IN PLACE THAT
COMBINATION WILL MAKE FOR THAT
CHANCE OF THAT CHANGE OVER FROM
BRAIN TO T NEXT OF RAIN AND
SNOW.
WE STILL HAVE THOSE CLOUD LOCKED
IN PLACE SO WE ARE IN THE LOW
40'S FOR MOST SPOTS WITH BOSTON
AT 43 DEGREES.
WE HAVE NOT GIVEN UP HOPE FOR A
WARM-UP BECAUSE WE WILL SEE
THESE TEMPERATURES REACH MID TO
UPPER 40'S AS THE SUN BREAKS
OUT.
WE ARE SEEING THAT SIMCOE.
IT IS 49 DEGREES.
AS THAT CONTINUES TO PUSH
EASTWARD YOU'LL SEE TEMPERATURES
WARM FOR LATER TODAY.
IT'S A RELATIVELY MILD AFTERNOON
ESPECIALLY AS THINGS CONTINUE TO
DRIVE OUT.
WINDS GUSTING AT TIMES.
BLOWING BETWEEN 10 TO 20 MILES
PER HOUR IN FROM THE NORTH.
WE MOVE TOWARD THE MIDAFTERNOON,
PUSHING THE COASTLINE AND BY
LATE THIS EVENING YOU WILL SEE
THAT SUNSHINE BREAKTHROUGH RIGHT
BEFORE THE S SETS AND LEADS US
INTO CLEAR SKY TONIG.
THAT'S ALL BEFORE WE TREKKED THE
SYSTEM WHICH WE SAW IS DOWN TO
SOUTH AND WEST.
NOTICE HOW THIS IS ONE OF THE
MODELS.
INDICATING THAT WE COULD SEE
SOME OF THAT SNOW TREKKED INCH
TOWARD THE AREAS AT LEAST FRIDAY
MORNING.
AS THAT SYSTEM CONTINUES TO
TRACK SOUTH OF THE AREA WE
CHANGE TO RAIN FOR THE BO OF
FRIDAY.
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS LEADING INTO
SATURDAY MORNING.
THAT IS THE POTENTIAL OF SEEING
A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW THAT
COULD TRY TO ACCUMULATE FOR
HIGHER ELEVATIONS AND AREAS
NORTH OF ROUTE 2.
SOUTH OF MASS PIKE MAINLY
STAYING AS RAIN.
THAT IS GOING TO BE THE TREND.
IT'S A MESSY MIX WHERE WE SEE
THAT CHANGE OVER AND WE'RE
WATCHING THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME
GUSTY WINDS AS WELL.
BEST CHANCE OF SNOW ACCUMULATION
IN THE WORCESTER HELLS TOWARD
BERKSHIRES, MIX QUICKLY THROUGH
BOSTON GLOBE PIKE.
SOUTH MAINLY STAYING AS RAINFALL
FOR THAT FRIDAY NIGHT AT THE
SATURDAY SYSTEM.
AN IMPACT WHETHER DAY WITH THE
SYSTEM RUSHING THROUGH.
TEMPERATURES PROGRESSIVELY COOL.
30'S AS WE HEAD INTO FRIDAY.
WE ARE TRACKING TH SYSTEM
TREATED HERE'S A CLOSER LOOK AT
THE TIMING.
THAT'S NO PUSHI THROUGH,
CHANGING OVER TO THE MIX AND
RAIN AS WE HAD THE FRIDAY
AFTERNOON.
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY
MORNING, OUR BEST CANCE FOR ALL
LOCATIONS SEEING ANY SORT OF
SNOWFALL BUT THE PROBLEM IS WITH
THAT CHANGE OVER BACK TO RAIN,

TYLE STORM CENTERED OVER
OKLAHOMA, IT'S THE VERY STORM

THAT IS GOING TO GO OFF THE MID
ATLANTIC AND BRING SNOW US
READY INTO SATURDAY.
POSTED TO HOME RIGHT NOW, WE

ASSOCIATION WITH AN UPPER-LEVEL
DISTURBANCE.
AND ON RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS IN
NORTHERN PORTS -- PARTS OF THE

37 IN SAINT J, 34 AND
MONTPELIER, YOU CAN SEE WHY IT
IS RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS.
IT DEPENDS ON YOUR TEMPERATURE
RIGHT NOW.
IT IS OVERCAST IN BURLINGTON.
AT BURLINGTO INTERNATIONAL IT

THE SNOW FALLS HARD AT TIMES, IT
IS A WET SNOW, THE TYPE OF SNOW
THAT IS TOUGH TO SNUGGLE -- TO
SHOVEL.
A COASTAL LOW-PRESSURE SYSTEM
GETS CRANKING OFF THE COAST.
INITIALLY IT'S BECOME WARM AIR
MOVES IN A LOFT AND THEN THE
STORM TAKES OVER.
IT RESULTS IN A STORM BASICALLY
FRIDAY MORNING TO SATURDAY
MORNING.
THE CONSISTENCY IS A WETTER SNOW
.
SOME SLEET IS POSSIBLE AT TIMES,
ESPECIALLY IN THE BORDER WITH
MASSACHUSETTS, AND WE COULD ALSO
HAVE SOME RAIN IN THE VALLEYS AT
TIMES.
I THINK THAT PREDOMINA
PRECIPITATION TYPE IS WET SNOW.
THE HIGHEST TAKE YOU MALAYSIANS

THIS IS THE FIRST LOOK AT T --
THE HIGHEST ACCUMULATIONS IN
SOUTHERN VERMONT AND IN SOUTHERN
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
LOOKS LIKE MORE THAN .5 FOOT OF
SNOW FROM SOUTHERN VERMONT
POINTS EASED, ALSO THE FAR
SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS COULD BE
SIX TO 12 INCHES.
THIS IS ACCUMULATED FRIDAY,
FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY
MORNING.
IT IS A LONGDURATION AS WE GO
INTO THE FIRST WEEKEND OF APRIL.
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?
THAT'S WHY WE DON'T WANT TO
GLOSS OVER THE FACT THAT
TOMORROW IS A NICE DAY.
THE SNOW MOVES THEN FRIDAY
MORNING AFTER THE MORNING
COMMUTE, BUT THAT NEEDS TIME
TUNING, AND IT LASTS INTO
SATURDAY MORNING.
ONE OF THE REASON IT WILL
ACCUMULATE IS THAT THE BULK OF
THE STORM IS FRIDAY NIGHTS WHEN
THE SUN IS NOT OUT.
THIS TIME OF YEAR, THAT ALWAYS
HELPS ACCUMULATE SNOW.
IT DOESN'T HELP US.
IT I SUNNY ON SUNDAY AND
MONDAY.
IT WILL BE AT A REALLY NICE
FINISH TO THE WEEKEND AND START
TO THE FIRST WEEK OF APRIL, BUT
I DON'T KNOW IF THIS THING
EXISTS.

PROBABLY PARTS OF THOSE
QUESTIONS WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE
ABLE TO RESPOND TO.
>> CAN YOU TALK ABOUT HOW MY
STUDENTS WERE IDENTIFIED?
>> -- HOW MANY?
>> RIGHT NOW WE HAVE BEEN TOLD
THERE ARE NUMEROUS INDIVIDUALS.
WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY A
HANDFUL OF STUDENTS THAT WE KNOW
ARE ASSOCIATED WITH OUR SCHOOLS.
BUT AGAIN, WITH THE FBI
TYPICALLY WITH TECHNOLOGY, THERE
COULD BE PEOPLE HERE IN THIS
COUNTY AND IN ANOTHER STATE, WE
DON'T KNOW THAT.
[INAUDIBLE]
>> I CAN'T COMMENT ON THAT.
I CAN TELL YOU WE HAVE
IDENTIFIED STUDENTS THAT OUR
CURRENT PALM BEACH COUNTY SCHOOL
DISTRICT STUDENTS.
I'D PREFER NOT TO COMMENT ON
THAT.
>> WE HAVE AN ACTIVE
INVESTIGATION.
>> CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE AGE
RANGE OF THESE KIDS?
>> RIGHT NOW IT IS AN ACTIVE
INVESTIGATION.
WE KNOW THERE ARE STUDENTS THAT
ARE FROM OUR SCHOOL.
AT THIS POINT, WE ARE STILL
MOVING FORWARD IN THE
INVESTIGATION WITH THE FBI.
IT IS THEIR CASE.
THEY ARE WORKING WITH US TO
IDENTIFY IF THERE ARE OTHER
INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED.
>> YOU CAN MAKE SOME ASSUMPTIONS
GIVEN THE FACT IT IS CHILD
PORNOGRAPHY THAT THERE ARE
INDIVIDUALS UNDER THE AGE OF 18.
>> ANY OF THEM HERE TODAY?
>> CAN'T COMMENT ON THAT.
WE HAVE MADE ALL OF OUR ASSETS
AVAILABLE TO THEIR FAMILIES IN
TERMS OF COUNSELING AS WELL AS
OTHER STUDENTS AT THE SCHOOL AND
WILL CONTINUE TO WORK FOR THE
FBI SEE IF THERE ARE OTHERS.
>> YOU DON'T WANT TO VICTIMIZE
THE STUDENTS AGAIN.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE
PROTECTION FOR THEM AS WELL AND
NOT PUSH THEM TO ANOTHER
SITUATION.
>> WHAT WAS THE TIMELINE AND
WHEN YOU SPOKE TO THE PARENTS?
>> I CAN'T SPEAK TO THE EXACT
TIMELINE OF THE VICTIMS, BECAUSE
THE FBI HAS BEEN MAKING THOSE
POINTS OF CONTACT.
OUR PARENTS WERE NOTIFIED THIS
MORNING.
THE BROADER GROUP.
MEANING BOTH THE CURRENT
STUDENTS, THE CURRENT STUDENTS
AT THIS SCHOOL, BUT WE ALSO ARE
HAVING INDIVIDUAL MEETINGS WITH
PEOPLE AT THE SCHOOL AT SEVERAL
TIMES DURING THE DAY TODAY.
WE'LL PROVIDE ONGOING SUPPORT IS
NEEDED.
>> WHEN IS THE LAST TIME -- HE
WAS IN THE CLASSROOM?
>> I WILL HAVE TO FIND THAT OUT
FOR YOU.
>> HAVE THERE EVER BEEN ANY
OTHER COMPLAINTS?
>> WE'VE GOT A PERSONNEL FILE WE
ARE HAPPY TO SHARE WITH YOU.
YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.
TO MY KNOWLEDGE, I DO NOT KNOW
OF ANY, BUT WE WILL MAKE
AVAILABLE HIS DISCIPLINE
PERSONNEL FOLDER.
>> MAL FEMALE, BOTHE,?
>> AT THIS POINT, WE ARE SAFE TO
SAY THAT THERE ARE STUDENTS
UNDER THE AGE OF 18.
I PREFER NOT TO COMMENT ON THAT.
SO, HE TAUGHT SEVERAL DIFFERENT
SUBJECTS AT THE SCHOOL OVER THE
LAST SIX OR SEVEN YEARS, AS WELL
AS COACHED AS WAS INVOLVED IN
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES.
>> WHAT KIND OF ACTIVITIES?
>> THE ROBOTICS COMPONENT AS
WELL AS AFTERSCHOOL ATHLETIC
EVENTS.
>> DURING -- DID THAT INVOLVE
TRAVEL WITH STUDENTS?
>> THAT'S ALL PART OF THE ACTIVE
INVESTIGATION.
AS IT UNFOLDS, AND WE ARE ABLE
TO PROVIDEMORE INFORMATION, WE
WILL PROVIDE THAT.
BUT RIGHT NOW IT IS THE FBI'S
INVESTIGATION.
WE DO NOT WANT TO UNDERMINE
THEIR INVESTIGATION AND CAUSE
ANY CONFUSION -- OR ISSUES WITH
THAT.
>> AT THIS POINT, I'D PREFER NOT
TO COMMENT ON THAT.
>> WAS THERE A SPECIFIC SPORT HE
WAS INTO?
>> I PERSONALLY AM AWARE OF ONE,
WHICH IS BASKETBALL.
HOW LONG HAS HE BEEN WORKING
WITH --
>> YEAH, I'LL MAKE THE PERSONNEL
FILE AVAILABLE.
I BELIEVE IT IS SIX OR SEVEN
YEARS.
>> DOES HE HAVE ANY FAMILY
LOCALLY?
HAVE YOU BEEN IN CONTACT WITH
THEM?
>> ANY CONTACT WITH ANY MEMBERS
IS DONE THROUGH THE FBI.
WE WOULD PREFER NOT TO MAKE ANY
COMMENTS BECAUSE IT IS THEIR
INVESTIGATION.
>> I WILL SAY THIS.
THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO
LOCATE THE INDIVIDUAL.
IT IS IMPORTANT WE GET THE WORD
OUT.
AND ANY VIDEO YOU HAVE FOR
PICTURES OF THE INDIVIDUAL, I
WOULD HOPE THE MEDIA WOULD WORK
WITH US SO WE CAN BRING SOME
CLOSURE TO THIS AND MOVE ON TO
THE NEXT LEVEL.
ALL I AM AWARE OF IS THE
COACHING IS BASKETBALL.
AND AN AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAM OF
ROBOTICS.
THOSE ARE THE ONLY TWO I'M AWARE
OF.
THAT DOES NOT MEAN HE HAS NOT
COACHED OTHER THINGS.
ONE OF THE REASONS WHY IT IS
IMPORTANT WE COMMUNICATE QUICKLY
TO PARENTS IS TO MAKE SURE THAT
PARENTS DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN
WHEN THEY'RE WITH THEIR CHILDREN
TO TALK ABOUT THINGS LIKE
INTERNET SAFETY, LIKE THE USE OF
TECHNOLOGY, AND MAKING SURE THAT
THEY ARE CHECKING THEIR KIDS
TELEPHONES, ASKING THE
QUESTIONS, AND IF THEY HAVE ANY
INFORMATION AT ALL, THAT IN ANY
WAY MAKES THEM FEEL
UNCOMFORTABLE, THEY NEED TO TELL
AN ADULT.
YOU SEE SOMETHING, YOU SAY
SOMETHING.
AND THAT IS IMPORTANT.
>> IF YOU GO ON TO THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT WEBSITE, SCHOOL POLICE,
UNDER RESOURCES, THERE IS A
COMPONENT THERE FOR PARENTS AS
WELL CALLED NET SMARTS.
IT HAS A LOT OF TOOLS THAT
PARENTS CAN UTILIZE TO MAKE SURE
THEIR CHILD IS SAFE ON THE
INTERNET.

To till or Not to Till? That is the Question. - Duration: 36:43.
To till or not to till.
That's the tough question that I'm going to be addressing in this presentation.
It was the topic that I was asked to talk about
at the Ecological Farming Conference that was in California this past January
and also at this California Climate and Agriculture Summit
that was a UC Davis in February of this year.
It's important to keep in mind when I'm talking about this
that I actually have a lot of experience not in no- till systems
but in highly tilled systems. So in these two pictures here this is
more typical of what I work in.
This is a vegetable production system
and this system here's another one that I work in
which is strawberry production. And even in these we do a lot of tillage
so just keep that in mind as I go through his presentation that I actually have a lot more experience with highly
tilled systems than I do with no tilled systems.
I like this quote and I think it's an important one to kind of start a presentation like this because one of the reasons we're interested in reducing tillage
is because we want to make sure they were taking good care of our soil.
And I think it's important keep in mind that there really is just a thin layer on our planet that stands between us and starvation.
Now we also have to manage our water resources well.
This is a picture from California showing one of the reservoirs that was filled up with water this
past winter. So that's an important part of sustainability and preventing
major catastrophes in our agricultural systems. But also we need to keep in mind the
the climate. The thicker layer that surrounds our planet
which helps to allow us to farm productively. And we also need to acknowledge that us humans are having a
major effect on our climate. We're causing it to change and we need to carefully think about
that and figure ways so we can reduce our negative impacts on our climate.
I want to take you a little bit of a trip in his presentation, at least in the introduction. And what were going to do
is we're going to get onto this Hawaiian sailing canoe and sail over to Hawai'i.
This is actually a canoe which is on this voyage
and what the voyages is focused on is trying to set a course for a sustainable future.
This is something that I think is important for us to think about both in the water as well as on land.
And let's just assume that our canoe lands on this beach.
This is on the island of O'ahu.
It's a beach that I like quite a lot. It's over and the Kailua area. And you'll see these beautiful
scenes like this. But if you look carefully into the sand you'll see a lot of pieces of plastic
these are called micro plastics.
And they're clear evidence that us humans are having an effect on our environment.
And that's kind of an interesting analogy that I'd like to is draw on for this presentation.
What I'm going to do today is I'm going to show you little pieces of evidence to try to
get at this question of whether or not we should or should not be tilling in our agricultural systems.
So kind of keep that picture in your mind as we go through this.
Now an important thing that I often think of when I'm trying to understand a new area for
myself and I would consider
I wouldn't consider myself an expert and no-till at all. I would actually say that I'm pretty ignorant about it and so I went to the scientific
literature and here's a bunch of different titles that I read
and which I found helpful in understanding this. You might want to check these out as well.
One of the real interesting ones is this one is titled 'The soil carbon dilemma: shall we hoard it or use it?'
And it's kind of a neat idea because what the author Janzen
describes is thinking about soil carbon kind of like water in a dam. We can have that water be stored
or we can let that water out and it can actually generate some electricity, and some energy and do some work for us.
And the dilemma with soil carbon is that it's often most functional as it's being transformed
from solid carbon into...as it's decomposing really going back into CO2. And that's the dilemma we have is
should we hoard it or should we use it?
Well I think you may enjoy this paper where the author talks about that very eloquently.
Now before we talk about what may happen when we move from highly tilled systems like this in Salinas California into a
reduced tillage type system like this,
I think it's important to think about some of the benefits of tillage 'cause there are some benefits obviously.
It can reshape our landscape. These are two pictures one from Indonesia this is Bali Indonesia and this is Nepal.
And what you can notice in both of these is... people have put a lot of work into trying to transform these landscapes
to create these beautiful bench terraces which allowed them to reduce soil erosion and therefore farm those areas much more
sustainable than if it didn't have these structures.
So that's clearly a very intensive form of tillage and one which has allowed people to farm in
areas that they normally would not been able to farm.
Now another real important part of tillage is adding organic matter back to the soil and these three shots here show
some parts of that in Papua New Guinea where I grew up. So this man is making sweet potato mounds which will be filled with organic matter
like previous crop residue or weeds or different types of organic matter in the center of the mound.
And then as that material decomposes it will be releasing nutrients which are
helping subsequent crop like sweet potatoes to grow.
So incorporating organic matter into the soil allows that to decompose and then provide a lot of benefits for us.
Now another real obvious benefit of tillage is to reduce compaction
This picture down here shows a lettuce harvest in Salinas and you can see how we've got these big ruts left in the fields from the harvest operation.
And here's another example of this and a broccoli field. So after harvesting broccoli or lettuce we often have real rutted up fields
and we need to try to get rid of this compaction in these areas so that it doesn't create problems for our next crops.
Another reason that we would incorporate or use tillage in the systems would be.... say you have a crop failure.
For some reason this spinach crop wasn't harvested
It could be several reasons maybe it had disease in it that that wasn't... didn't make the crop marketable. And so they need to quickly
turn this field around and the easiest way to do that is to come in and till out this spinach so they
can get this field ready for the next crop of vegetables.
Now very obvious reason for tillage that I'm sure a lot of people think about is reducing weeds. What we don't to have is we don't want
a situation like this in romaine lettuce where we've got a lot of weeds. The weed here is burning nettle
and this is a real challenging weed to work with because it will actually sting you and your hands
or on any of your sensitive skin. And so we don't want situations like this and therefore we put a
lot of time and effort into tilling those systems with a
special cultivator like this and also using hoes to take out those weeds.
Those are forms of tillage that are very important in these vegetables systems.
Now there are many problems with tillage and these four pictures show some of those problems.
When we till the soil we can create a lot of dust and that
degrades the air quality. Also when we've got bare fields from tillage
we can have a lot of soil erosion, a lot of nutrient loss, and that's not very good. And that can lead to fields like this in Thailand where I
worked where you lost yields because so much of this topsoil had eroded off.
And of course when we till our agricultural soils
it takes a lot of energy and that actually can create problems
because we're actually letting a lot of CO2 backup into the air from the use of the fossil fuels, the excessive use of fossil fuels.
One of the publications that are listed on the reading list has is very nice figure that talks about some milestones in agriculture
and the development of different tillage tools and tillage practices over time. I think you might enjoy checking this out.
I've been interested in tillage tools for quite a long time and here's three that I've collected in
different parts of the world where I've either lived and traveled. The first one here this is a
hoe from Nepal. This would have been what they might have used to make some of those bench terraces. This over here is a
short handled hoe from Zambia. They also make longer handled versions of this. This is in Southern Africa.
And this center one this is a digging stick from Papua New Guinea where I grew up.
And this would have been used for harvesting sweet potatoes.
In general I think that when people were using these types of tillage tools where all the energy to make the tool work
came from food that they had eaten. It's unlikely that they were tilling excessively.
I generally think that when we started sitting on tractors and using fossil fuels
that's probably when the excessive tillage began. Just something to keep in mind as we think about tillage in different parts of the world
and whether or not we should or should not be tilling.
Let's look at a little bit of data here. So this is
a graph taken from a paper that describes changes in soil organic of carbon, on the Y axis
and how the changed over a period of intensive vegetable production. So you can see early on
before that field had been cultivated when it was just naturally
left on its own, the soil organic carbon levels were quite high and that over time they've dropped
especially during say the first 10 to 20 years... big drop there.
And they slowly start to kind of stabilize but
there's a big decline. And that just shows how intense vegetable production can be quite challenging or
have a real negative effect on soil organic carbon levels in these fields.
This is a very dramatic shot that shows that in a different way.
So this picture was taken from this publication here
and this pipe in the center, this white pipe was actually... the soil surface was up here
in about 1923 when this pipe was installed. The pipe goes right down to the bedrock and this soil in this farmed area
had been drained. So it was a very high organic matter soil and it had been drained and then put
into sugar cane cultivation. And you can see that about 1.5 m
several feet of topsoil had subsided here. So a lot of that subsidence has to do with the fact that
in this soil, carbon was being burned up through the drainage of the soil and then the
cultivation of the sugar cane that followed.
Okay so now that we've seen very clearly that intensive tillage as you can see in this graph here has a
major negative effect on soil carbon or soil organic matter,
I want to move on to talk and show you some data on how conventional tillage would compare with say no-till.
So to help to understand what I mean by no-till let me show you this nice graphic. This graphic I think provides a
very clear illustration of the differences between no-till agriculture
conservation tillage and then conventional tillage.
So the data that I'm going to show you is comparing
conventional tillage with no-till. So these are on opposite sides of this spectrum
with conservation tillage being somewhere in the middle. So in a conventional tillage system in this
case this would be an example with corn-soybean crop rotations
in the U.S. you can see there's many many different tillage passes, one with the moldboard plow then with a disc
then a field cultivator and then different harrows and things like that.
Whereas with a no-till system
the only real tillage that occurs, and there is a small amount of tillage that does occur,
and that's when you plant the seeds in just a small slot where the seed is drilled into the soil
that's the only
time that the soil is disturbed. Other than that you just apply an herbicide to kill the weeds, you
you plant the crop with a no-till seeder, you apply an herbicide
in this case this would be in a conventional situation to control weeds again
and then you come in and harvest.
So as you can imagine there's a lot more crop residue on the surface here in this no till system.
Now in a conservation tillage system there's generally about 30% or more surface residue
there still is tillage in it but it's far less than say in the conventionally tilled system.
So if you're interested in understanding these differences I suggest that you have a closer look
at this nice illustration because I think it really
it does a good job of, in a nutshell, showing the differences between these different systems.
Okay so what happens when you move from a convention tilled system like this
into a no-till or a reduced tillage system?
Well there's a lot of things that can change
Let's look a little bit at some more data.
So this shows long-term organic soil carbon level changes
as we go from say
taking an area into cultivation
and then going into some kind of an improved management practice.
So you can see this is the soil organic cabon level at the beginning
its natural level it would not have been changing very much
and then we start doing some kind of cultivation and right away just like I showed you on that previous slide it drops down.
This is because the input of carbon is less than the decomposition rate
so you're getting a quick loss of organic matter in these system.
And then eventually the levels of input of soil carbon and the decomposition rate kind of equal each other so that we get a steady state system.
And then we start some new practice, maybe its cover cropping
and we start to get an increase in soil organic carbon levels.
But notice it never really, kind of gets back up to this level here it stabilizes at some other level.
So keep in mind early on there is a quick decline or relatively quick decline and
before we get to another steady state it takes quite a bit of time
and the steady state that we reach generally does not usually go back to the original state when the system was not in agriculture.
Okay, now I'm going to show you several different graphs that provide some interesting data on what happens
in a conventionally tilled system versus a no-till system.
And all the graphs are going to look somewhat similar to this, so I need to explain a few things here.
So this paper that this comes from they conducted a meta-analysis which is where they've taken the results of many many
different studies and they've combined them to try to get a whole bunch of information that's very robust.
This is the average point right here in this error bar right here represents a 95% confidence interval.
So this means that we can essentially be 95% confident
that the real number falls within this range here.
So it's a good way to estimate where an effect is.
Also I should point out that this 'n' here this indicates the number of observations
that went in to make this mean or this average and it's 95% confidence interval.
Now in these graphs if the average like this falls on this side, then this would mean that conventional tillage is better
And if the average falls on this side than it would mean that no-till is better.
So this first one we're looking at the mean difference in soil organic carbon
in conventional versus no-tilled systems. And you can see that...
oh actually I should point out what the zero is. So the zero would indicate
no change, okay, so no change there. Let's look at what's happening in say the top of top say 5 centimeters of depth of the soil.
So at 5 cm it's very clear that there's an increase in the
mega grams of carbon per hectare. So we've got about 3 Mg of carbon per hectare more in the no-till system.
This makes sense because there's a lot of residue on the soil surface.
Now when you look say 25 centimeters down, the situations not that clear, well actually it's the opposite it is relatively clear here
in this data. So we can see further down actually the the conventionally tilled systems
have got more carbon stocks at that depth.
What I want you to just kind of take away from this graph is that the sampling depth at which you
measure the effects of a conventional tilled system or a no-till system has a huge effect on how you would interpret
the data. When were looking near the soil surface no-till looks better.
But when we go a little bit deeper, conventional till looks better.
And actually when we go really deep say 45 to 55 cm
it doesn't look like there's much of a difference.
So I hope this is helping to you to understand the complexity of this issue of soil carbon sequestration.
So I hope this is helping to you to understand the complexity of this issue of soil carbon sequestration.
If were interested in sequestering carbon in the soil we have to really look carefully at different depths within the soil
and this paper really helped me to understand that complexity.
In that reading this I also listed this paper which is another one that kind of opened up my eyes to a new
way of thinking about stabilizing soil organic carbon in the soil
So let me try to walk you through this a little bit and hopefully I'll be able to explain this kind of new way of thinking about
soil carbon sequestration.
So let's start with this middle section here
as you I'm sure are aware there's many different qualities of soil or of plant litter that one can add to the soil.
You can add say leaves of legumes, things that are very easily decomposed. And then you can also add, on the other end of the spectrum
things like wood chips or more lignified material
And my initial way of thinking about carbon additions to the soil was that this type of material that decomposed slowly
would tend to increase soil organic matter more than
this material that would decompose more quickly.
However, this paper talks about... sort of a different way of thinking about this.
When plant litter that decomposes easily which we call 'labile' organic matter
When that decomposition process is occurring
there's a lot of decomposition products that are being produced
and those decomposition products are actually what's leading then down to more stable forms of soil organic matter in certain situations.
And this is compared to say the more lignified or the more woody materials
those don't have as many decomposition products and therefore their ability to
build up stable forms of soil organic matter
is not as great as say this material here.
The other thing that's intriguing is that these more labile or easily decomposed forms of organic matter or plant litter also tend to cause
less carbon fluxes or releases compared with these materials.
So as you think about soil carbon sequestration
I want you to try to keep this model in mind, or this framework
and I encourage you to go and check out this paper. I found it very intriguing.
I want to now move on and talk a little bit about how
no-till versus conventional till systems affect yield.
Okay let's look at another one of these graphs from another meta-analysis.
So we're looking at the effects of conventional till versus no-till on yield.
And this is taken from a large number of studies .... so 678 studies and about 6000 observations.
within those studies were what's used to make up this first data point.
So overall, over a whole bunch of different crops
generally, you can see this this dot here indicates the average,
generally what the data is showing is that
averaged across many different crops
conventional tilled systems
have about say 5 percent greater yield then no tilled systems.
Now if you look down say for oilseed or cotton type systems
the difference doesn't seem to be very much.
Maybe a slight indication that no-till might be a little bit better but this average this middle point is pretty much right on zero.
With legumes there's pretty much a clear difference or indication that
conventional tilled systems are better than no-tilled systems.
With root crops it's very dramatic say about 20% yield loss or greater yield
in a conventional tilled system versus a no tilled system.
So this really does show that the type of crop that you're talking about responds differently to no-till or tilled systems.
Here's another graph. Now we're going to look at the duration of the effect on yield.
So we've got here some studies that went for 1 to 2 years,
3 to 4 years, 5 to 10 years and then more than 10 years.
Again this is the the number of studies and then the number of studies...
I'm sorry this is the number of studies here, and this is the number of observations.
So studies that happened for say 1 to 2 years only, conventional did better
but over time if a study goes on for a longer period of time
the differences between tilled and no-tilled systems start to become less obvious.
So this data, the fact that the average is relatively close to zero would suggest that over time
averaged over many different crops
no-till and conventionally tilled systems may not have very big differences in their in their yield.
Okay let's look at one more graph from this meta-analysis and how no-till affects yield.
So what were going to look at here is the effect of climate.
In this graph what they've got is they're showing
tropical latitudes in the world, subtropical ones and then temperate latitudes.
And it should be quite clear right away that in tropical latitudes
conventional tillage generally yields quite a bit better than no-till does.
Whereas in temperate latitudes the differences between
conventional till and no-till are closer to zero. They still are generally favoring conventional till
but not near as much as is occurring in tropical latitudes.
So this just shows very clearly that where the tillage practices are done can have a huge effect on how the yields respond.
So just to kind of summarize a little bit, I've talked about two different meta-analyses
this first one where looked at whether or not no-till can stimulate carbon sequestration.
So generally what it showed me was it's a lot more complicated than just saying 'yes no-till is sequestering carbon.'
It really depends on the depth, and we probably ought to be sampling our soils much more deeply
like down to a meter so to see if the overall difference between tilled systems and no-till systems
really is that big of a difference.
Now the other meta-analysis that I talked about was this one where we looked at the effect of yield. We looked it overall a bunch of different
crops and then the effect of duration of the tillage practices and then also climate.
And I also encourage you to go and look at that paper in more detail.
Hopefully what this has shown you is that this question 'To till or not to till?' is a little more complicated
once you really get into the scientific literature and start looking at the data.
Now what I really want to focus on for the rest of this presentation is
some experiences that I've had with trying to reduce tillage in vegetables systems.
It's something that I think is really worthwhile trying to do but it's also pretty challenging.
So I'm going to talk about some of our experience with a roller-crimper and then with a mowed type system.
I want to explain the roller-crimper type system that we've been trying out at the USDA.
On the front 3 point hitch we've got a standard roller-crimper.
We've got that mounted on the front, we can raise and lower this as we need to
and that does a really good job of
crimping cover crops as we drive across the beds, and it crimps the cover crop that falls in the same direction as we're traveling.
Now one challenge that we have had sometimes is that
sometimes the cover crop falls parallel to these crimper blades and therefore
that material is not crimped very well by the front crimper.
So what we've done is we've taken a
tow attachment that can be used for say a grain drill
and we mounted a toolbar on the back of that
and so right now the tow attachment wheels are lifted off the ground and all the pressure is on these
this toolbar, and toolbar's got a series of
coulters, flutted coulters that are attached to that which have dulled blades. So the blades of these coulters have been dulled
and we're just towing this. And this allows us to crimp any material that falls perpendicular to the direction of the tractor's travel.
So between the front crimper
and then this rear tow type crimping system we're able to pretty much crimp material that falls in any direction.
So the idea in the system was that we would grow cover crops on beds like you can see here
and then we'd come in with our roller crimper
and we would crimp that down and then ideally we'd get this beautiful layer of mulch
right over the soil surface which would be suppressing weeds
and doing a bunch of other good things. And then we would be able to transplant say a romaine lettuce crop
into that and have a beautiful system.
So let me describe that in a little bit more detail.
In our systems these beds from center of this furrow to the center of this one would be about 80 inches wide.
And because our crimper works very well on the bed top we actually had to plant
something a little bit different in the furrow. We planted mustard.
And the mustard variety that we use has hollow stems and when we drive our tractors
in these furrows to crimp the bed top, the wheels are very effective at crimping the furrow mustard.
So here's a picture that shows our cover crop with the mustard in the furrows.
This is in January, the cover crop would have been planted in the previous year in the fall.
And you can see the rye has grown up quite nicely and the the mustard is here in the furrows.
Now let me show you what happens when we get in there and we crimp it.
So here's the tractor.
We don't have the rear crimper on there right now but we do use that.
So we've got the front crimper that's pushing down the cover crops on the beds
and then the wheels are crimping in the furrows and crimping off the mustard plants.
So this looked pretty good when we crimped it down.
But this is where we started to get concerned. About 54 days after we crimped this cover crop
we had all this green in the field and that green is essentially regrowth of a cover crop.
So the mustard in the furrows died very nicely
but the rye on the bed top
didn't die very well. Even though it was flowering when we crimped it we still had lots and lots of regrowth of our rye cover crop.
This really kind of got us concerned during the first year of the trial.
Now when we went to the second year
we tried this again and we actually had even worse results.
This time we got not just regrowth of cover crop but a massive amount of weed growth on these bed tops.
So these two experiences, that is the regrowth of the cover crop on the bed top and then massive amounts of weed growth coming up
through the cover crop mulch
really made us realize that the roller crimper
may not be the best tool for us to try to do a reduced tillage system in our vegetable systems.
So what we're trying now is a different system where we're
focusing on killing or controlling a cover crop's growth using a mower and then trying to kill it with another tool.
Let me kind of describe that.
So I've been working with my good friend Jim Leap on this. Jim is very good at understanding how different tillage tools work
and great at trying to innovate different methods.
And what we've been doing is we've been planting the rye on the bed top, these are again those 80 inch wide beds
and this case we're actually cultivating the furrows of the cover crop
and once the rye gets up, you know a certain height
we then start mowing it repeatedly.
And this kind of keeps the biomass under control so that it never kind of gets out of hand.
So here we're mowing the rye cover crop.
And then the idea is after we've mowed it several times as it's been growing
we then come in with this tool which is.. it's got rippers here in the furrow
there's actually a residue manager to clean out some of the furrow area
and there's a large flat coulter which cuts through some of that residue and then there's a large ripper shank which
rips into the furrow bottom and that allows us to take this next tool which is an undercutter and undercut this entire bed so we're basically
cutting off the root systems of this rye cover crop on the bed using his undercutter.
The shanks of these under cutters extend down and then somewhere down into the soil here
about say 3 to 4 to 6 inches or so deep we've got our blade of the undercutter which extends underneath here
and basically cuts off the root systems of the rye.
I'm going to show you a little video clip of this working.
Okay so you can see the undercover is moving along very nicely and is undercutting
that residue or those rye cover crops on the surface
and leaving the rye right in place but undercutting it. So hopefully it we'll kill it.
Now in this situation this is rye planted on 40 inch beds, we had two lines on a 40 inch bed
but the same basic idea could also work potentially with rye planted on an 80 inch bed.
I'd like to conclude by answering the question to till or not to till in high value vegetable systems.
and I'd like to do that by bringing in a few more images. So at the beginning of the presentation
I talked about this need for us to set a course for sustainable future
We looked at some evidence from the scientific literature
and hopefully that's inspired you to go and look at some of that evidence for yourself.
I find this image to be one that I think is helpful to answer the question of whether or not we should or should not be tilling.
So this is a sailboat, I love sailing, and
if we turn the sailboat around what you'll see in the back of the sailboat is this
part of the sailboat right here which I'm holding in my right hand. This part of the boat is called the tiller.
And the tiller is one the most important parts of the sailboat because it controls the rudder.
And when I'm sailing a sailboat if I don't have access to the tiller, the boats completely out of control.
You have to very carefully use that tiller and by doing that you can set a course and get to where you want to efficiently.
Without a tiller the sailboat is pretty worthless.
I tend to think that in high value vegetable systems
we need to still need to be using tillage. I don't think we should be abandoning tillage.
But I think we do need to be careful with how we use it.
Make sure that we're using it in a thoughtful way.
And also move towards reducing tillage where possible.
I do however think that there's some real low hanging fruit in our vegetable systems
that we should focus more on then just completely eliminating tillage.
And probably the most obvious low hanging fruit that I can think of is
the need for us to increase cover cropping.
And that's true in both conventional as well as organic vegetable systems.
So this picture shows two different ways that we can add carbon
into these high-value, high-input vegetable systems.
One way to do it would be by bringing in carbon from an outside source such as using yard waste compost
that's a very convenient way to add carbon to our systems.
But the other way which is one that I think we actually should be focusing much more on
is on-farm carbon production.
The reason that I think we need to do that is that these on-farm sources of carbon
provide so many more benefits to maintain a healthy soil and these vegetables systems.
When we grow cover crops there's a whole bunch of other benefits and that's kind of
well described in this paper that was published in 2010.
And in that paper the authors talk about carbon friendly farming practices.
So when you grow a winter cover crop you are adding large amounts of carbon to the soil
but in addition to that you're also reducing nitrate leaching
You're increasing the infiltration of winter rainfall
and that will hopefully increase our groundwater recharge
and were also providing habitat for beneficial insects
so because of all these co-benefits from cover cropping
I think that cover cropping is such an obvious low hanging fruit, it's one that we really need
to focus more on in our agricultural systems.
And try to help farmers come up with ways that they can incorporate these as often as possible.
I think that will do a lot to improve the sustainability of these systems even if they have a fair bit of tillage in them.

IT IS STILL PRETTY MILD.
NOT STEAMY JUST YET.
ONE THING'S FOR SURE, WE ARE
LOOKING AT A SYSTEM OUT TO THE

LITTLE BIT OF SIGNS OF BREAKING
APART.
THERE IS AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
THAT IS FUELING THE UPPER LEVEL

DRIVING ACTIVITY.
CLOSER TO HOME, NOT MUCH GOING
ON.
YOU CAN SEE HOW MASSIVE THE
STORM SYSTEM IS.
IT EXTENDS ALL THE WAY FROM
PORTIONS OF THE DAKOTA DOWN INTO

SO THIS IS A BIG STORM SYSTEM
AND WE WILL DEAL WITH THIS
TOMORROW AS WE HEAD INTO THE
AFTERNOON.
TODAY, 80'S BY 12:00 AND WE
COULD HAVE A BRIEF SHOWER IN

AND WE SEE MORE THUNDERSTORMS BY
2:00 IN THE AFTERNOON.
STILL COMING UP FROM THE SOUTH.
BY 5:00 IN THE AFTERNOON,
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS BUT I DO
THINK THIS WILL BE A MIX.
WE WILL SEE MORE STORMS AGAIN
LATER IN THE EVENING IN THE
SOUTHERN COUNTIES.
THAT IS A LOOK AT AROUND 11:00
P.M. TOMORROW EVENING.
THE LINE WILL MOVE THROUGH.
I FRIDAY MORNING, EARLY IN THE
MORNING, IT WILL EXIT THE STATE
AND WE CAN DRY OUT IN TIME FOR
THE WEEKEND.
85 DEGREES IS THE FORECAST HIGH
TEMPERATURE TODAY WITH AN
ISOLATED SHOWER BUT WE ARE
MAINLY FEELING STEAMY.
I THINK WE CAN RETIRE THE COAT
BUT KEEP THE UMBRELLA ON
STANDBY.
TOMORROW, STORMS ARE LIKELY.
THEY WILL COOK UP -- THEY WILL
KICK UP.
