🚨 Devastating news for PA agriculture, but relief is on the way. 🌾👇

A severe late-spring freeze in April has caused an estimated $150M–$200M in damages, wiping out up to 75% of fruit blossoms and specialty crops across Pennsylvania.

🍎To help our local farmers recover, a federal Secretarial Disaster Declaration has officially been signed for 17 primary PA counties—including Adams, Lancaster, York, and Luzerne.

🌾What this means for impacted farmers:
🌾Access to low-interest emergency loans via the USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA).
🌾Options to refinance debt or replace vital equipment and livestock.
Eligibility to defer existing FSA loan payments.

⏳ Deadline to apply: January 26, 2027.

Head to Farmers.gov or contact your local FSA office to check your county’s eligibility and start your application.

Let’s support our local growers through this tough season! 🚜❤️

Healthy soil doesn’t act like a bucket.

It acts like a sponge.
Reposted from

When fungi, roots, worms, and organic matter build structure, the soil creates pore spaces that capture and store water.

“I didn’t go through all that work to make my field into a TikTok haven or a parking lot for TikTok,” Todd Brown said.

🌾 Brown has owned his Utah farm for over 20 years where he grows alfalfa and oats and has 60 cattle.

Last week, 22-year-old TikTok user Emerson Nix posted a video of his truck parked on Brown’s crops.

The next few nights, more trucks returned wanting the same photo that Nix took, driving onto the farm and ruining more crop.

“Everywhere they drove their trucks, mashing down the crop is all crop-loss,” Brown told KSL4. “It’s all dead and won’t come back. I can’t harvest that.”

🌱 Farm land is not a backdrop, it is someone’s livelihood that directly feeds American families.

What would you do if this happened on your farm?

Cousins, the seed store is moving. 🌱

We are moving because the current setup was not giving us the shipping speed and consistency y’all deserve.

Seeds are food access, and people need their food-growing supplies quickly.

We are moving into a better shipping flow and welcoming Senethia aka Melanated Gardener back to the team.

She was one of the original employees at Plant And Heal Seeds, and having her back is a blessing.

Thank y’all for growing with us while we get this system stronger.

is turning their spent grain — one the biggest byproduct of beer production — into barley mash to fuel their pigs and farm animals.

🍺The beer making process leaves behind a large amount of solid organic waste, and requires large amounts of energy and water.

When organic waste is trashed and breaks down in landfills, it produces methane.

🌾 Rather than create waste, this system creates a win-win for the farmer, customer, and environment — all while the pigs and other farm animals get a delicious (and low cost) meal.

The Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry has announced $3 million in new research grants aimed at helping farms affected by PFAS.

🔬 State officials are providing testing, financial assistance, research and technical support to 127 farms of all sizes to help farmers make informed decisions and continue operating safely.

Did you know — most contamination stems from the historic use of wastewater sludge as an abundant, low-cost fertilizer, a practice banned in Maine in 2022.

Amanda Beal, commissioner of the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry said, “The results will help impacted farmers in Maine and across the country make informed decisions so they can continue to operate and thrive.”
