Starting at around 0:31, the soldier seems to be pointing to something at a lower altitude than the alleged UFO. even more, he does not seem very thrilled by whatever he is trying to record.

Relative?

 

This could be interesting if it really pans out. (Having done agronomic research myself, I'm mildly skeptical.)

Very interesting ... it's probably generating ozone, and that somehow is helping the plants.

That's part of my skepticism. They could just be making nitrates from atmospheric nitrogen and not controlling for that with the experimental design. Of course it works, but commercially produced fertilizer would likely be more cost-effective. So this is all interesting but I'd want to see a lot more study and data before getting too excited about it. A 30% improvement in a crop study is nothing - unless you have huge amounts of data to show statistical significance.

Right ... and electricity cost is another thing that I can't recall if the article addresses.

Well they did mention 15 kWh per day per hectare.

Here's a back-of-the-napkin.

A lot of people see an electricity cost of 10¢ per kWh. That equates to $1.50 per hectare day or about 61¢ per acre-day. Corn requires about 100 days to mature, so that's $61 per acre to apply electricity to the field for the season.

A really good corn crop is 170 bushels per acre. At $3.50/bu, that's a crop value of $595. So you'd need to increase the yield at least about 10% just to break even. This doesn't include getting a payback on your installation costs.

The economics should support application to high-value crops IF the yield increase is real and over-and-above current best practices. That's where my skepticism lies.

ooppss... I missed that detail ... those are pretty interesting numbers ... another thing that came to mind would be EMI problems, I wonder if that would be a serious issue

 

Just do it.

Nah. Kaepernick would have been on his knees.

Tariffs will take care of it.

I cannot figure out how many metric tons is it. Could you please

56 lbs per bushel, so 9,520 lbs = 4,318 kg per acre = 10.67 mt per hectare.

kg/acre ... there's a combination of units you don't see often ...

"Inside Edition" said the man eventually left the speaker, and they later moved on to track the stolen purse, which was found in a garbage can.

While the crew was interviewing the man captured on camera in the initial theft, their actual crew car was broken into via the "smash and grab" method, leaving "thousands of dollars worth of equipment" stolen.

A Malaysian professor was sentenced to life imprisonment on Wednesday for killing his wife and daughter using a gas-filled yoga ball as his murder weapon in a “premeditated and calculated” plot to get his hands on properties the couple jointly owned.
...
During the trial, Khaw never disputed taking the dangerous gas home in a yoga ball but claimed he planned only to use it on rats that were infesting his home.
