The use of clover in grassland to replace fertiliser nitrogen (N) can substantially lower greenhouse gas (GHG) and ammonia emissions from pasture-based production.
James Humphreys, a Teagasc researcher and Dan Barrett, farm manager at Teagasc Solohead farm, outlined clover sward fertiliser management from the 12 years of research at Teagasc Solohead farm.
Using Clover to replace fertiliser N
Averaged over 12 years at Solohead, research found similar pasture production from grass-clover swards receiving 95kg/ha of fertiliser N applied in spring compared with swards receiving 245kg/ha applied across the growing season.
Clover has a higher temperature requirement than grass for growth and therefore chemical N was applied in February, March and April to compensate for this.
The flag says, “F - Biden” and, in smaller text below, “And f - you for voting for him!”

Resident Steven Gilbert, who identifies as a Republican, told WILX that he called the Jackson Police Department about the flag, calling it “just so offensive.”
“It’s the word itself,” he said. “It’s not the statement that it’s making. It’s that word.”
Jackson is a city of about 35,000 that sits in the center of Michigan, to the west of Detroit and Ann Arbor.
Gilbert told WILX that police said they could not require the homeowner to take the flag down.

Oak View Group, the Los Angeles-based company hoping to build a $250 million arena in the Coachella Valley with private financing, is touting an economic impact of hundreds of millions initially. But at least one local mayor is skeptical, saying sports arena projects are notorious for over-promising and under-delivering.
The proposed arena that could break ground near Palm Desert this spring is expected to host as many as 180 events per year. That kind of activity has the potential for an annual attendance of more than 1 million, and some believe it could have a significant economic impact in the valley.
Biden Administration Withdraws Support for Connecticut Anti-Trans Athlete Lawsuit and Reaffirms Trans Rights
By Dirk Smith, MSc, SDL (He/Him)
Last year a lawsuit was filed by several cisgender athletes from a Connecticut high school who argue that they were deprived of wins, titles and scholarship opportunities after two transgender sprinters were allowed to compete in the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference in accordance with state law. The initial lawsuit seeks to ban transgender athletes from participating in any and all girls’ high school sports and was openly supported by the Trump administration, specifically by Betsy Devos’ Department of Education who tried to cut off federal funding to certain school districts who continued following state law that allowed trans athletes to participate.
