What is Organic Farming? | Agriculture | Biology | FuseSchool
Rating
0.0 stars

An alternative to conventional farming is organic farming.
Organic farming currently accounts for about 1% of agricultural land worldwide. It focuses on sustainability and is thought to have less detrimental effects on the environment than conventional farming. This has led to it being proposed as an alternative to conventional agriculture for helping to overcome the climate change crisis we are currently experiencing. The debate continues, as it is not a perfect solution.
This video outlines some of the basic principles of organic farming.

What is PTO? (and how it could kill you!)
Rating
0.0 stars

If you're a total tractor "newbie", you'll hear the term PTO or "Power Take Off" used often when talking about tractors. It's one of the most dangerous parts of any farm tractor and something that needs to be respected by the operator. In this video we discuss the different types of PTO and how they work.

The PTO is the spinning shaft on the back of the tractor that attaches to a shaft to power a variety of implements, brush hogs, finish mowers, tillers and most post hole diggers.
PTO's haven't been redesigned since early farm tractors, it's a splined shaft that spins, turning a long driveshaft that leads to a gearbox to make blades spin, tines turn, or augers dig.

Problem is, if you get any part of your body parts, hair or clothing stuck in a spinning PTO, you'll likely be killed in a horrific manner, or maimed for life. Don't want to scare you here, but NEVER get off the tractor and go back near a spinning PTO. EVER!!!!

PTO entanglement one of the reasons why farming is either the most dangerous, or second most dangerous occupation , and especially if you're new to tractors you need to stay way from them with the tractor running. A human can't stop a PTO from turning.

What is Vertical and Horizontal Movement?
Rating
0.0 stars

What is Vertical and Horizontal Movement?

Every pitch in baseball has what's called Vertical and Horizontal movement as it approaches the plate. Vertical and Horizontal movement is defined as the magnitude of “break” a pitch has, either up or down (vertical), or laterally (horizontal). Essentially, both movements indicate the pitch's trajectory deviating from a straight line as it crosses the plate.

Vertical and Horizontal movement is measured in inches and can be recorded through ball tracking technology like Trackman, Rapsodo, Hawkeye, and PITCHf/x. It’s important to note that these technologies can track movement in different ways.
