We focused on WINE HISTORY in my #envhist #aghist class this week. The scholarship is so new, and so good! I am particularly impressed with how attentive it is to the intersection of viticulture, settler colonialism, and white supremacy. Short thread follows 🍷📖

Today Sept 29 is Michaelmas (the Feast of St Michael) which means that in the medieval agricultural calendar, it's the first day of pannage. This is the practice of letting pigs go out to woodlands to eat acorns, beechmast, and other forest goodies to fatten them up before winter. #aghist #envhist

"There’s another insect with the potential to tell us about the 1930s and about the ongoing process of reconciling the prairie environment and large-scale agriculture – the wheat stem sawfly." - @stundenbower.bsky.social niche-canada.org/2020/04/09/s... #envhist #aghist #cdnhist

Strip Farming and the Wheat Stem Sawfly on the Canadian Prairies, 1930s-1940s

Dust and grasshoppers dominated 1930s prairie agriculture, but wheat stem sawflies also impacted farming, complicating soil conservation and pest control efforts.
