My Austrian country bread, österreichisches Landbrot. A variation on how I normally make it.. It is a rye and wheat sourdough bread.
#CRISPR can improve disease resistance in #wheat by giving access to a broader range of solutions beyond random #mutagenesis or intraspecific variation. #Geneediting can unlock new ways to improve crops & speed up #plantbreeding for resistance to crop diseases: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/genome-editing/articles/10.3389/fgeed.2025.1542487/

ANXIETY FOR GRAIN CROPS
TOO MUCH DRY WEATHER
(BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
ASHBURTON, This Day.
Anxiety is felt for the #grain #crops owing to the recent dry, hot spell. Unless the #weather breaks soon, #oats will be ready to harvest before Christmas, with a light crop; while #wheat, of which much is spring sown and backward, promises to ripen off with only a 60 per cent. average yield. Pastures are also affected. One live stock man stated that a day’s soaking rain would benefit him a hundred sterling [£100 = ca. $12,000 today].
