Hi! I work for a small veggie farm in Salt Lake City and this fall we are planning a "farmer trivia night" at a local brewery. We are currently trying to put together the trivia questions and I'm wondering if anyone here might have ideas for categories and or fun facts that might make for good questions.

Being in Utah we are especially looking to write questions that are relevant to farming and gardening locally or at least in the great basin/desert SW generally. We want the questions to feel fun, creative and intellectually stimulating without getting too 'academic'. Ideally some of the questions will reflect knowledge one would gain from the actual practice of farming or gardening. A few of ideas we have had for categories are Farm Records (like current world records for the biggest zucchini), Smelling Bee (smell a blinded jar and spell what's inside correctly) and Utah/SLC Agricultural History.

Please please please share anything that comes to mind! This is brainstorm phase so I'm looking to cast a wide net. If you have any thoughts on fun categories or have a favorite vegetable fact or piece of farming history, drop it here!!!

Just out of curiosity, how do you guys feel about the fact that a significant proportion of crop agriculture relies on animal-derived fertilisers or other animal inputs, such as manure, bone meal and blood meal?
It seems to me that the idea of completely animal-free agriculture becomes much more complicated when you consider where the nutrients removed from agricultural soils actually come from. Synthetic fertilisers can replace some of those nutrients, but relying on them alone isn’t necessarily a complete or sustainable substitute for maintaining soil organic matter, structure and biological health.

*EDIT*

What am I doing here? This was supposed to be posted in the debate a vegan subreddit… my bad, sorry I am getting old. It is written for a vegan to try and justify their “non animal use” diet. My bad ….. do you understand though how ludicrous this whole idea of agriculture without animal derived input at least?

His approach focuses on what happens to rain after it reaches the ground. Rather than allowing water to quickly run off or disappear, his farming practices aim to help the soil capture and store it.

Hey all I’m in TX for work and was hoping to spend some of my time off getting footage while I’m here and was hoping to find some regenerative farms that would be willing to let me get some photos and videos of their land. Thanks in advance for any help or insight for a stranger 🙏

Imagine living this sustainably 💪🏾👏🏾

Can regenerative farming make supply chains more resilient?

So , I have a simple question ❓.....

A student pursuing BSc Agriculture from a reputed university in India . Do they really have good career options?

I am asking this because we don't get much information about Agriculture sector jobs .

Even today , after hearing agriculture people will think it's just on the fields but tbh This is modern era and Agriculture has expanded and even using AI .

But I want advice and get exposure to different possibilities.....

So please answer of you can .. THANKS .
