Agriculture is technology

So what are some of the best ways to increase crop yields? I'm currently a farm like pic related and I've been having issues with my corn. I barely have enough to sell AND feed big ol' Bessie.

Does Bessie really need to be corn fed?

GMO crops GMO pollinators

well yeah, its the only crop cheap enough to feed the bitch. and the cows also eat it.

but then i lose out on the organic croud

>corn shit
Found your problem.

whats a good alternative then?

Hemp

Can I grow hemp legally in Kentucky?

I was joking, but serious at the same time. We grow some stuff out in the back yard. This year was terrible. We had an early start in February then it got cold again fucking up everything, then hot over the summer. A three day heatwave of 110F killed the potatoes. After the heat was driven out, we've had massive flooding. Our tomato and strawberry plants have produced almost no fruit all year. Some of the potatoes have begun growing again, but I think they are hosed for the year. I feel bad for people who have to do this shit for a living.
