Nibbles: Illicit ag, Illicit stats, Irish folk meds, Medieval farming, Zoo methods, Date collection, Apple breeding, Ancient cannabis, Old yeast

Sorry about slow blogging lately. Life caught up with us. Slowly getting back in the saddle…
ISIS benefitting from agricultural production as much as oil.
Why we should drop “statistically significant.”
Irish folk medicine being used. Again. Or still.
Back to the future of farms, medieval edition: it’s the faldage, stupid.
Botanical art in history.
Applying zoo methods to plant conservation. Maybe should be the other way too?
The future of dates is in the US?
History of the Honeycrisp apple, for all you Red Delicious haters out there.
Ancient stash found. Down to seeds and stems.
Keep warm with some nice Latin American drinks.
Or beer made from old yeast from a shipwreck.
