Agriculture is important. Alfafa is important as it feeds most of the animals grown for food and anlso horses etc.

90% of American alfafa is used domestically and only around 3-5% of it is exported.

The problem is California. 31% of California alfafa is exported and this is a state that has declared drought many times before. It’s a water thirsty state with grandfathered Ag water for farmers who essentially export water.

California Ag is the problem. We need agriculture. We need alfalfa. We need to fix CA.

I created everything here.. music and composition and the video with AI on my phone:

Suno extracts stems but I would love it if they have an ancillary app that would do the scoresheet and give me the notes…

While AI music is fine by me(it’s here to stay), I would like to tweak some of the chord progression of the orchestration .. would certainly like to see how it would play out live.

I am loving it. I am not a musician and I am learning from this.. by doing and music theory one song at a time.. It is making music learning fun for me.

It’s not a cultural thing. It happens here too. Someone created something like this to track strawberry pickers and their ‘productivity’.

Remember they are not even paid minimum wage by the hour. They are paid by how many punnets they pick. And this founder thought it was a great idea.

American Ag is more exploitative than any third world/developing country because the really desperate work here. It is sorely in need of automation.

Nobody wants to actually invest in Ag automation..not really…there is a lot of BS floating but everything grown locally and on our shelves relies on low paid manual labour.

I wish.. so very much..that Americans see how their food is grown.

Why is using AI something to be ‘declared’?
