[15:16:07]<mstenta>andygraybeal: hey!
[15:16:17]<mstenta>i just released farmOS beta 2 :-)
[15:16:22]<andygraybeal>mstenta, greetings. nice, i saw!
[15:16:42]<andygraybeal>i want to pilot this with two of my buddies. and people are interested in this software, i talked about it at mother earth news in asheville
[15:17:01]<andygraybeal>congrats on beta2
[15:17:15]<andygraybeal>i got a goat farmer and a chicken farmer
[15:17:23]<mstenta>wow awesome!
[15:17:26]<andygraybeal>i wonder if you are thinking about how to handle cover crops also?
[15:17:51]<andygraybeal>the same way as crop planning but a bit different
[15:17:53]<mstenta>i am, actually, because i will be cover cropping my fields this fall :-)
[15:18:10]<mstenta>yea, it's easy enough right now to just add them as normal plantings
[15:18:27]<mstenta>but i'd like to think about if there's anything cover-crop-specific that might be useful
[15:18:27]<andygraybeal>there is a book that is a good guide, my friend told me but i dont remember, i'm asking her again.
[15:18:46]<andygraybeal>yea, i can probably find the pdf or something for this book and forward it your way
[15:21:55]<mstenta>that would be cool
[15:23:44]<mstenta>how was the mother earth news conference?
[15:30:05]<andygraybeal>it was fun, very busy
[15:30:25]<andygraybeal>lots of people, we're going to be doing every one this side of the mississippi i believe
[15:30:56]<andygraybeal>also igc, mants and pants and more... gardening, and forestry
[15:41:27]<mstenta>awesome!
[15:46:22]<andygraybeal>yea, my car did well too. it went 300 on about 7 gallons of gas no prob
[15:50:04]<mstenta> nice!
[15:50:08]<mstenta>that's some good mpg
[15:55:50]<andygraybeal>mstenta, here looks like a good manual on cover: http://www.mccc.msu.edu/documents/ManagingCCProfitably.pdf
[15:56:13]<mstenta>thanks!
[15:56:39]<andygraybeal>yea, the whole timing and rotation thing i assume will be hard to program
[16:31:15]<mstenta>dang. drupal.org packaged the wrong version of one of the farm modules in the beta2
[16:31:57]<mstenta>i created an issue with the infrastructure team: https://www.drupal.org/node/2472743
[16:49:18]<mstenta>oh well... need to tag a new release it seems
[16:49:25]<mstenta>i guess i'll have to release beta3
[16:49:38]<mstenta>:-/
