La Grange hosts first holiday parade of the year
LA GRANGE � On a day when temperatures barely made it above 45 degrees, Lenoir County residents bundled up to enjoy the annual La Grange Christmas parade.
La Grange Chamber of Commerce Director Lavaron Howell said this year�s parade was the largest ever, with 162 organizations signing up to participate. She said it�s a great event for all involved.
�It brings the community together. People of all ages really enjoy coming to the parade,� she said.
For some residents, like Iris Best of La Grange, the parade has become an annual event. Best said she always enjoys coming out to the parade.
�It�s just so beautiful with all of the different colors, parade floats and kids smiling,� she said.
For others, like Hunter Stanley, 4, Sunday�s parade marked a first-time experience. He said he enjoyed the event, especially when Santa Clause made an appearance.
�I liked seeing Santa because he�s very nice,� he said
In addition to the man in the red suit, organizations from across the area marched, road on floats or in cars. Bands from E.B. Frink Middle School, Kinston High School and North Lenoir High School played Christmas songs as they marched.
The Grinch and mascots from Piggly Wiggly and Chick-fil-A greeted kids and adults alike along the parade route. Representatives from various government entities around the county drove by in a variety of vehicles.
Also on display was a gigantic shopping cart, brought to the parade by Got To Be N.C., and mini-rigs driven by members of the Wayne Shrine Club.
Debbie Chriswell said for her, the parade is a sign the holidays are approaching.
�It�s the kickoff to the holiday season,� she said.
Payton Malone, 5, said she enjoyed the festivities.
�I liked seeing the cheerleaders. I also like getting candy that people threw from the floats,� she said.

Currently Core Library (from v1.4) uses GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library (GMP) as its low level big number package. GMP is a free library for arbitrary precision arithmetic, operating on signed integers, rational numbers, and floating point numbers. As GMP was originally designed to work under Unix platform, there is few information about how to compile and install under Windows platform. I wrote this page to help you simplify installation.
While there are many C/C++ compilers available under Windows Platform, I will only focus on the following 4 compilers/environments: Cygwin GCC, MinGW GCC, Visual C++ 6.0 and .Net which are freely available or widely used. If you have experiences on other compilers, please let me know.
To help your development, GMP 4.1 source distribution and pre-compiled libraries for these environments are provided here for download. It should work for Pentium III or above.
In the following, I assume that you want to download GMP to ${gmp_download}, build GMP at ${gmp_build}, and install GMP to ${gmp_install}
cd ${gmp_build} tar xzvf ${gmp_download}/gmp-x.x.x.tar.gz
cd gmp-x.x.x ./configure --prefix=${gmp_install}
make install
cd ${gmp_build} tar xzvf ${gmp_download}/gmp-x.x.x.tar.gz
cd gmp-x.x.x ./configure --prefix=${gmp_install}
make install
export PATH=${mingw}/bin:$PATH (for bash, sh)or
setenv PATH ${mingw}/bin:$PATH (for csh, tcsh)
cd ${gmp_build} tar xzvf ${gmp_download}/gmp-x.x.x.tar.gz
# Make a symlink if possible; otherwise try a hard link. ln -s $ac_rel_source $ac_dest 2>/dev/null || ln $srcdir/$ac_source $ac_dest ||to
# Make a symlink if possible; otherwise try a hard link. #ln -s $ac_rel_source $ac_dest 2>/dev/null || ln $srcdir/$ac_source $ac_dest ||(Add a comment on first "ln -s" so hard link are created instead of symbolic link)
cd gmp-x.x.x ./configure --build=pentium3-pc-mingw32 --prefix=${gmp_install}(replace "pentium3-pc" by your CPU type)
make install
As I mentioned above, GMP cannot build static and shared libraries at the
same time and it will only build static library by default. To use dynamic
library, i.e DLL under windows platform, you need to add the options
--disable-static --enable-shared" when you configure GMP,
i.e. run this command:
./configure --prefix=${gmp_install} --disable-static --enable-sharedA windows DLL "cyggmp-3.dll" (Cygwin) or "libgmp-3.dll" (MinGW) will be generated and you can link it with your executable programs as usual under Cygwin & MinGW except that when you run them, you have put these DLLs in some path which is listed in environment variable $PATH.
To ensure that these DLLs can be called by a Microsoft Visual C++ program, you must generate an import library (.lib) for them, using Microsoft LIB tool:
cd gmp-x.x.x/.libs lib /machine:i386 /def:cyggmp-3.dll-def (for Cygwin)or
lib /machine:i386 /def:libgmp-3.dll-def (for MinGW)
In Core Library distribution, we provide patch files for building GMP library under Visual C++:
patches/4.1-static (or
patches/4.1-dynamic for building DLL) to ${gmp_build}
gmp.dsw (
gmp.vcproj for VC++.Net) to build GMP
lib/gmpDebug.lib to build your GMP application. (If you build GMP DLL, then you need
gmp.dll or
gmpDebug.dll for runing your application.)

We are a local forum-based car club, serving Asheville and the surrounding areas, and welcome all types of car, truck, or bike enthusiasts!
Can't believe I have been living under a rock for years! I have debated on buying a $200 camber measuring tool for years and promised I will get one for my following birthday. Well, today I have stumbled upon a gem, a 99¢ camber measuring tool!
The tool is an iPhone app call CamberMeas and it costs only 99¢. You can calibrate the app to your surface which then lets you measure the camber on uneven surfaces. It is surprising accurate from my testing. My brother has had alignment done on his E36 M3 recently and camber was set at 1.5 degrees negative, this tool measured the camber at 1.51 negative camber! I will not trust the tool for an alignment job but it is good enough to ballpark a camber change for an autocross or just to test various settings on a car before the final alignment is done at a professional shop.

Women 2.0 Conference – The Rest Of The Story
May 16 2008
So here's the rest of my Women 2.0 Conference story. If you want to see tons of pictures (which sadly I and my deep pink Banana Republic shirt don't appear) please check out the official Women 2.0 Conference Wrap Up post. You can also see Sophia Perl's (another semi-finalist) post on it here.
Friday – May 9, 2008
I took my rented yellow car and drove around the Palo Alto/Menlo Park area to meet some people. I met Jeff Nolan, who was one of the venture investors in my first company, for lunch at a place called Buck's. We only just got to know each other while at my last company before I left, but he seemed to be one of the good guys. I mentioned him in a post I did about angels and venture capitalists a while back. We might get to work together again and this time in hopefully a more creative and collaborative way.
I tried to meet up with Guy Kawasaki later that afternoon but he had something mildly important to do like make some sort of silly book submission deadline, so we traded tweets and emails instead. Then I went to the Stanford mall. I'm not a big shopper, but since I had a few hours to kill, and my husband wanted me to get him a Stanford t-shirt (It's one of his alma-maters) I wandered around a bit and read The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, but was not feeling in the "now" at the time so didn't make much progress. So I got some hot chocolate, my rings cleaned, and happened to find a couple of light-weight jackets at really good sale prices to protect me from the Bay Area cool evenings!
Later I had the pleasure of meeting up with Maryam Scoble for wine and fabulous brie with a flakey crust. Yum! Maryam and I met through our blogs. I initially heard about her and her husband Robert Scoble from our very own Austin based Connie Reece. Robert even did a Qik video of me at SXSW but I don't think that many pregnant moms or parents with newborn babies, preemies or twins are watching those videos. Go figure!
Saturday – May 10, 2008 (conference day)
You can see the agenda for the conference here. It was an interesting day in a tent near the Stanford golf course. Walking in grass was a challenge for many of us who were wearing heels. Those wearing pointed heels especially suffered by sinking into the grass/dirt, but since I would trip and fall on my face in pointed heels, I wear more flat ones.
The most interesting sound bites, in my opinion, came from the Power Panel: "Igniting the spark through strategies taught and lessons learned"
Terri Ghio, Unique Solutions and TBS Connect said: Make sure you have an audience, a secret sauce, strategic alliances, and ability to build the blocks and barriers for success.
Amy Love, Protégé Performance Group said: Build an inner circle, share your dream, think big, and have the confidence & energy to move forward.
Dr. Jwala Karnik, JwalaCo said: Be open to inspiration, tell people what you want to do, and just take the first step!
Dr. Maggie Haertsch, VOICEMAP said: Have passion and be totally committed, focused, and fearless!
Pat McEntee, AuxoGlobal said: Women entrepreneurs are different and that's OK. Women look at things they want to spend their time on differently. Women build different companies. The fact that many retail companies are currently dominated by men is not going to last long, but women should build companies that men feel comfortable in. By the way, Pat is a guy!
I mentioned the winners of the napkin business plan challenge in my yellow car post, so I won't mention it here again, but I did want to mention one company and founder who was on one of the panels: Erica Estrada of d.light design. She is impressive and her company is very cool! They make affordable, small, solar power lighting units for people in third world countries who have no access to electricity. So the kids in who live in shacks can study/read after dark and parents can cook or work after dark without having to use a kerosene lamp that not only stinks and has to be bad for your lungs, but also doesn't last very long. I really do wish her and her company great luck, good partners, fabulous investors and perfect timing!
I ended the day by eating sushi with the friends I was staying with. They even took a picture of me (see below) drinking this huge cup of sake! The waitress finished the bottle on me, so the sake overflowed into its holding bowl. I was glad I wasn't the one driving us home in my rented yellow car. 😀
Coming soon I'll post an update on my SEO experiences, so you might want to subscribe to read more about the birth pains of a web business. It's not pretty.

Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton has edged former U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge in the Democratic primary for North Carolina governor, setting up a general election race with Republican Pat McCrory.
Dalton had 46 percent of the vote compared to 38 percent for Etheridge with about two-thirds of the precincts reporting unofficial results in the six-candidate primary. Dalton had enough to avoid a runoff -- the threshold is above 40 percent. State Rep. Bill Faison was a distant third at 6 percent.
Dalton is a Rutherfordton attorney and former state senator who was elected lieutenant governor in 2008. He got in the governor's race when incumbent Beverly Perdue decided not to seek re-election.
McCrory lapped the field of five other candidates in Tuesday's Republican primary, receiving 84 percent in incomplete returns

KATS Soldier of the Week
Delta Company 1-161 is an Infantry Battalion in the 81st Brigade that trains outside of Yakima. It is composed a citizen soldiers -- men and women who are students, electricians, doctors and more when not on duty. Not long ago Delta Company was in Baghdad, Iraq. They are trained to fight tank warfare, but also perform other duties of infantry soldiers. If Eastern Washington experienced a wild fire, flood, volcano or an earthquake these men and women would be called on to rescue us.
This week's soldier is T.J. Gaia.

Google's Privacy Changes Mean You Need to Clear Your Web History
If you use any of Google's many products (the ubiquitous search engine, Gmail, Google Plus, YouTube, etc.) you've probably seen all the notices about upcoming changes to the company's privacy policy. So what does it mean to you, and how can you put up a few necessary roadblocks?
In a nutshell, the new policy states that any data Google's search engine has collected about you prior to March 1st (and any data it collects on you in the future) will be shared with its other products. Privacy advocates have raised the alarm about this because your search queries can reveal particularly sensitive personal information — your location, interests, age, sexual orientation, religion and health concerns, to name only a few.
If that sounds a little Big Brotherish and you'd rather keep Google from combining your web history with all the data it's collected about you while you're using its other products, here's how to clean out your history and stop it from being recorded in the days to come:
Sign into your Google account, and then go to https://www.google.com/history. Click the button marked Remove All Web History at the top.
On the confirmation screen that follows, click OK.
You'll see a notice saying your web history is paused — and it'll stay off unless you choose to enable it later on.
One important caveat: disabling your Google Web history won't prevent the company from gathering and storing your information for internal purposes, and it won't stop that information from being shared with law enforcement if you go off and do something stupid. (So, you know, don't do that.)


text: After nine years away, Jason Bourne is returning to the big screen in the fifth installment in the Bourne series. The new film is simply titled Jason Bourne and reunites original lead Matt Damon (Good Will Hunting, The Departed) with Bourne Ultimatum director Paul Greengrass (United 93, Captain Phillips). Julia Stiles (10 Things I Hate About You, Silver Linings Playbook) is also rejoining the cast as CIA operative Nicky Parsons. She and Damon will be joined on screen by an all-star cast, including Oscar winners Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina, The Danish Girl) and Tommy Lee Jones (The Fugitive, No Country For Old Men). Actors Riz Ahmed (The Reluctant Fundamentalist, Nightcrawler), Ato Essandoh (Blood Diamond, Django Unchained), and Scott Sheperd (Side Effects, Bridge of Spies) are also starring in the new adventure that seeks to uncover the true history behind Bourne's (aka David Webb) mysterious past.

Where the Birds Are
Oklahoma's Winter Bird Atlas
Birds in Oklahoma have been studied over the years by a variety of professional and amateur ornithologists. Recently, volunteers have conducted comprehensive breeding season surveys that culminated in the publication of the Oklahoma Breeding Bird Atlas, published in 2004 by the University of Oklahoma Press and available online or through your favorite bookstore. Hundreds of people participate in the roughly 20 Christmas Bird Counts conducted each year in Oklahoma. What has never happened, however, is a comprehensive, statewide study of winter bird distributions in our state. Thanks in part to funding from the State Wildlife Grants program, such a survey is nearing completion.
Once all of the surveys are completed early next year, the information will be compiled, mapped, and analyzed to produce the Oklahoma Winter Bird Atlas, a book summarizing current winter bird distributions in the state. Project such as the breeding and winter bird atlases provide a current and comprehensive summary of bird distributions, but are also meant to be repeated at 15 or 20 year intervals, and thus serve as a valuable benchmark to monitor range and population changes over time.
For more information, please visit the Oklahoma Winter Bird Atlas webpage through the Sutton Avian Research Center.
The State Wildlife Grants Program provides federal cost-share money to every state and territory for cost-effective conservation aimed at preventing wildlife from becoming endangered. This program is administered by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation and continues the long history of cooperation between the federal government and the states for managing and conserving wildlife species. For more information, visit www.teaming.com.

Loop #2: Playa Lakes
Playa lakes are round shallow basins that only hold water after rainfall or runoff from the surrounding prairie. Having such a vital function, playa lakes are one of the most important and unique wetlands around. They have a natural wet-dry cycle that supports a diverse plant community as well as specialized plankton and aquatic insects.
Because of the high productivity of playa lakes, they are an essential wintering and stop over place for migrating waterfowl and shorebirds. Some of the shorebirds that can be found around playa lakes are long-billed curlews, greater yellowlegs, black-necked stilts and American avocets.
When you travel along the Playa Lake Loop you will be experiencing a type of wetland that is very unique; approximately 95% of the world's playa lakes are found in the western Great Plains.
There is much more to see on the Playa Lakes Loop than just the playa lakes themselves. This area is home to a great variety of plant and animal life. As you travel you will want to keep your eyes open for a chance to spot prairie dog towns, burrowing owls, badgers, swift foxes, ferruginous hawks, orioles, woodpeckers, red-tailed hawks, horned lizards, white-tailed deer, coyotes, Rio Grande turkeys, peregrine falcons, black-tailed jackrabbits and porcupines to name a few.
Whether you're interested in just taking a daytime drive, going on a birding expedition or an extended trip, it is sure to be an experience you won't soon forget.

Take Part in the Hummingbird Survey
On April 1st the hummingbird feeders were hung outside and the wonderful neotropical migrant started moving into Oklahoma from Central America and Mexico. Hopefully you have seen many Ruby-throated and Black-chinned as well as the rare Rufous and Broad-tailed Hummingbirds at your feeders! I personally had several at my feeders this season. After November 1st you can take the feeders down, clean them with warm soapy water, and put them away until next spring. Remember that leaving the feeders up until November 1st will not slow the hummingbird's migration.
By taking part in the annual Hummingbird Survey, you can help the Wildlife Department in assessing the actual population of hummingbirds that come through Oklahoma. The survey will help biologists learn more about our state's hummingbird population and how long they reside in our state each year. Some of the questions you will be asked are when you put up and took down your feeder, how many and what species were observed, and the plants you may have that attract hummingbirds. The book, Landscaping for Wildlife: A Guide to the Southern Great Plains by Jeremy Garrett, is a great resource for plants that attract wildlife.
Please click here to submit your hummingbird survey observations.
Thank you for your help!

Almost 40 years after the Arab oil embargo that nearly brought this country to a standstill, and following a week in which prices at the gas pump surged 20 cents or more despite a world petroleum glut, it appears steps are finally being taken to loosen the stranglehold of foreign suppliers.
While it's pathetic that it took last year's $4-plus per gallon gas prices and U.S. automobile manufacturers facing bankruptcy (or worse) to finally get attention focused on the need for alternative power vehicles, the industry may at last be headed, however tentatively, down that road, with 2010 the year when these new models begin hitting showrooms.
New electric and electric/gasoline hybrid models now in development promise to offer buyers vehicles that either use no gasoline, or much less gasoline, with mileage that far surpasses anything now available. And these aren't small, weird-shaped vehicles that are little more than glorified golf carts or modified motorcycles — they're comparable to conventional cars in terms of passenger room/comfort. (Some of the all-electric models offer astounding acceleration, zero to 60 mph in 6 seconds or so, because power is directly transmitted to the drive train.)
General Motors, now on government life support, is in intensive final testing of its Chevrolet Volt, which is supposed to be in dealer showrooms by November 2010. A high tech lithium ion battery pack is said to deliver a 40-mile driving range, more than the average daily commute, on electric power alone. Beyond that, a small gasoline engine kicks in to charge the batteries and keep the car running.
GM says the miles per gallon equivalent will be around 100. Expected cost: $35,000 to $40,000, but there will be a $7,500 federal electric car credit to help ease sticker shock.
Ford, though not in the government bailout program (only because it had borrowed a boatload of money before the economy tanked), hasn't been setting the woods afire sales-wise, and is pinning part of its survival hopes on hybrid and electric models.
It is spending $550 million revamping a Michigan plant that once made gas-guzzling Expedition and Navigator SUVs, so it can produce an all-electric Ford Focus in 2011. Unlike the Volt, Focus won't have a supplemental gasoline engine, but will have a driving range of 100 miles before needing to recharge batteries.
Although it remains to be seen whether Chrysler, the weaker of the Big Three auto companies, will survive its financial difficulties, it apparently is also well into the process of bringing electric and electric/gasoline hybrid vehicles to market, with an all-electric 120 mph, 200-mile range, Dodge sports car scheduled in 2010. Other products planned in that time period include Jeep Wrangler and Town and Country plug-in hybrids touted to provide a 40-mile range on electric power alone and 400 miles on 8 to 10 gallons of gasoline.
Nissan is planning a 100-mile range all-electric vehicle for fleets in 2010 and retail buyers in 2012, with a price of around $20,000 after the federal credit.
Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi, and others, have all-electric and advanced hybrids coming down the pike, and China and India are gearing up to crank out millions of electric cars.
Consumer acceptance for these new vehicles is likely to be slow until prices come down and reliability and serviceability become better known.
It may well take another decade, but this could finally be the turning point in starting to meaningfully loosen the noose of imported oil.

Mitt hits Obama on welfare reform
CHICAGO — As the battle for middle-class voters heats up, Mitt Romney made the case this week that President Barack Obama is dismantling a crown jewel of the Clinton administration: bipartisan welfare reform.
Stumping in Obama's home state on Tuesday, Romney hit the president for the removal of some work requirements from federal welfare regulations. And he once again tried to drive a wedge between Obama and former President Bill Clinton, who is stumping on behalf of Obama and will introduce the president at the Democratic National Convention in September.
Story Continued Below
"One of the things that happened in the last couple of decades was one of the greatest bipartisan successes we've seen, and that was President Bill Clinton and Republicans coming together to reform welfare," Romney said during a visit to ACME Industries. "They reformed welfare not just to save money, more importantly, they reformed welfare to encourage people to work."
The reform, the presumptive GOP nominee argued, "put work back into welfare," slashing the case load "in half" and decreasing poverty rates.
"That was a great accomplishment," Romney stated. "I hope you understand that President Obama in just the last few days has tried to reverse that accomplishment by taking the work requirement out of welfare. That is wrong. If I'm president, I'll put work back in welfare."
Romney was referring to an executive action by Obama last month making changes to the requirements for states to get federal welfare funds, a move the White House argued gives states more flexibility and reduces paperwork while keeping incentives to help people find jobs. Republicans called foul, saying it will simply allow states to cut welfare checks to people who aren't working.
Obama's camp argued that the new regulations still require work for recipients, but give states more flexibility in a bad economy.
"Mitt Romney continues to make statements that he knows are both untrue and hypocritical," Obama spokeswoman Lis Smith said. "The Obama administration, working with the Republican governors of states like Nevada and Utah, is giving states additional flexibility only if they move more people from welfare to work — not fewer."
The Obama campaign also accused Romney of doing the same thing when he was governor.
"Mitt Romney petitioned the federal government for waivers that would have let people stay on welfare for an indefinite period, ending welfare reform as we know it, and even created a program that handed out free cars to welfare recipients," Smith said.
The newest charge comes as Romney tries to get his campaign back on track after his trip to Europe left it on the defensive and responding to a series of gaffes and missteps. The welfare reform push will be a central message when the presumptive GOP nominee embarks on a bus tour through Virginia, North Carolina, Florida and Ohio this weekend.

Subscribe To Men In Black III Director Barry Sonnenfeld In Talks For Lore With Dwayne Johnson Updates
I've already subscribed
Given that Barry Sonnenfeld has made three movies about a secret organization that protects the world from otherworldly attacks, you'd think he be kind of sick of the premise by now, but judging by the new project that he is negotiating for that doesn't seem to be the case. The filmmaker is now in talks to helm Lore, a new movie based on the graphic novel by Ashley Wood that centers on a secret organization that that protects the world from mythological creatures. Seems kind of similar, no?
Deadline says that Warner Bros. met with a number of top-notch directors for the project, which has been in development since the spec script was acquired in April after a four studio bidding war. Dwayne Johnson is already attached to star in the movie, which the site describes as "tonally similar to Men in Black." The adaptation was written by Cory Goodman (who previously wrote the vampire action thriller Priest) and Jeremy Lott. There is no word on when the studio is aiming to start production on the project.
This is actually the second title that Sonnenfeld has landed since Men in Black III arrived in theaters this past May. In June it was reported that the filmmaker has been hired to direct another comic book adaptation, namely the 60s series The Metal Men. As for Johnson, the actor has a big year coming up, with Snitch, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, Pain and Gain, Fast Six and Empire State all due out in 2013.

Open With Long-Click
by spadija
This is an extended version of Lex1's open-in-background-with-long-press extension. It opens links in the background when you click and hold the mouse button for a short time.
Additions from Lex1's extension:
- The amount of time required to trigger a long click can be configured.
- Links can be configured to open in the foreground.
- The extension can be configured to not open duplicate tabs.
- Tabs opened from private tabs will be opened as private. Due to Opera's pop-up blocker, long-clicks in private tabs will activate upon releasing the mouse button instead of immediately like in normal tabs. A small circle will appear around the mouse to indicate that a long-click is triggered and releasing the mouse button will open the link.
Known Issues: (Ignore these for Opera 12.00+)
- Private tab detection currently relies on a bug in Opera, so future updates to Opera may make the extension unable to detect private tabs.
- Opening tabs in the background from private tabs requires opera:config#UserPrefs|Allowscripttoraisewindow to be checked.
- This extension can modify or add functionality to one or more websites.
Feedback from users
Reviews and ratings
Simplemente genial y útil
Will you bring this extension to Opera 15?
This is one of the most useful extensions for me and for a lot of users, please consider it ;)
Thanks very much ;)
Не поддерживает 15 версию, исправьте пожалуйста
I really like the extension. But is there any chance to get it updated for Opera Next?
Does what it says, opens LINKS in backgroud tab, very usefull for Laptops or for mice with a bit hard middle click...
This is the best extention ever made!
This probably works on normal links, but does it work on buttons?
Buttons can't be right clicked, thus Shift-click and Ctrl-Shift-click don't open them in new tabs.
THAT is where an extension like this is needed, but the description fails to say.

Don Hartman is a proud, frugal farmer who runs his pickup truck for about 10 years before turning the keys over to a hired man for additional farm chores. Major purchases are intricately scrutinized before purchase orders are ever generated.
Seven years ago, Hartman and his wife Cheryl, green chile pepper, upland cotton, and grain sorghum farmers in southwestern New Mexico, made the weighty decision to transition the farm's water delivery system from furrow irrigation to subsurface drip irrigation. Cost containment was viewed as the best strategy to economically survive.
This spring, the Hartmans, owners and operators of Don Hartman Farms, Deming, installed subsurface drip on the second of their three farms, a 165-acre parcel on their owned and rented 400-acre operation in the gorgeous Mimbres Valley in Luna County. The couple's long-term commitment to drip has shaved costs and tempered some long-term economic concerns.
"I probably wouldn't be farming now if I hadn't converted to drip," said Hartman as he peered across his truck bed to a green chile field near maturity. "Drip irrigation saves so much. If you can afford the initial investment, it's a no-brainer."
Stories like the Hartman's are increasing as farmers search for ways to weather drought and skyrocketing input costs in the Southwest and West. The Deming area receives 7 to 9 inches of rain annually, most during the summer monsoon season.
Hartman, 42, and the parcel's landowner paid about $2,500 per acre for this year's drip expansion which includes a mid-level system from Netafim. The landowner qualified for cost-share dollars through the Natural Resources Conservation Service's environmental quality incentives program or EQIP. Hartman signed a 10-year lease on the parcel to ensure the landowner would recoup the expenses.
"The cost of the system depends on the bells and whistles," Hartman said. "It's like a car – you can buy an economy model or a Mercedes Benz depending on the preferred features. The basic controller cost was about $1,200. We installed a $2,600 controller for the additional capabilities."
Hartman's drip system is hardwired to his home computer and can be accessed on the road with the software pcAnywhere.
Hartman said, "I can sit at home and monitor the drip system and apply fertilizer or go on vacation with my laptop and check on the water."
His projection to recoup the drip system capital costs is about five years.
Hartman's drip system includes 13 mil drip tape buried 8 to 10 inches under the flat field surface with 38-inch centers. The emitters are 12 inches apart. In the case of chile, the crop is planted above the tape. Chile is the No. 1 cash crop in Luna County.
Water from wells enters the filter station building which houses six, bright red colored, round-shaped sand media filters where garnet sand snags dirt and other small particles from the water.
Hartman uses varying drip flow rates depending on the need. In extremely hot weather, about one-quarter inch of water per hour is emitted for eight hours daily every fourth day.
Water tops cost-saving list
Hartman continues to bank the savings rendered from the drip system. Water tops his cost-saving list at about $25,000 to $30,000 annually. With drip, water use in the chile crop has declined from 36 inches to 30 inches per season. In the upland cotton crop, drip sliced the water requirements in half from 36 inches to 18 inches with similar reductions in grain sorghum.
Spoon-feeding fertilizers through the drip tape, including UN-32 liquid nitrogen and phosphoric acid, has cut fertilizer use by about 50 percent. Hartman adds about 2 pounds of boron/acre in the drip per season to make up for low levels in the soil. An independent soil laboratory monitors fertility levels.
"When using a high-tech system, the available tools should be utilized to maximize efficiency," Hartman said. "Drip applies the product to the root zone. Previously we sidedressed the fertilizer and moved it with surface water. That's not very efficient."
Most herbicides, including Treflan and Prowl, are soil applied. Most insecticides are drip applied providing a 40-day window of pest control.
Soil types on the Hartman farm range from heavy clay to pure gravel streaks in the same field. Hartman has higher flow tape in the gravel areas to provide adequate water and fertilizer.
Drip also reduces tractor hours in the field. Not wetting the soil surface germinates fewer weed seeds. The fields are cleaner with less cultivation, time, labor, and diesel required.
"You don't have to sit on top of a sprayer and smell it all day," noted the second-generation farmer.
Hartman shared his drip irrigation experiences this fall with pepper researchers from around the world during a farm tour held in conjunction with the International Pepper Conference in Las Cruces.
"My chile pepper yields with furrow irrigation totaled about 15 tons based on two crop pickings. I now get 20 to 30 tons from two pickings with drip," Hartman told the chile crowd. "My cotton yields increased from 2.5 bales/acre to 3.5 to 4 bales/acre."
Chile quality has also improved, Marvin Clary told the crowd. Clary is an agronomist with Border Foods in Deming. Hartman grows chile under contract for Border Foods.
"Growing chile under drip develops a thicker wall in the pepper which improves fruit quality," Clary said.
Daytime soil temperatures in a drip taped-field are 10 to 15 degrees higher than a furrow-irrigated field. This increases heat units earlier in the season which allows the plant to mature faster, says Clary.
A second chile picking is difficult under furrow irrigation since wet fields tend to reduce chile quality. Drip-applied water containing fertilizer allows growers to extend the growing season. This can increase total tonnage/acre by at least 4 to 5 tons and increase quality in second-picked fruit, Clary says.
"With drip, I harvest chile and irrigate at the same time," Hartman said. "This makes for fresher fruit, a better crop, and improved quality grades."
Maintenance is required with all equipment. After harvest, Hartman runs sulfuric acid and chlorine through the tape to reduce water blockages. Rodents occasionally chew holes in the tape that require repair.
Hartman estimates irrigation in Luna County at about 90 percent drip and 10 percent furrow.
Agriculture's switch to drip has helped raise the water table in the area, he says.
Stephanie Walker, New Mexico State University Extension vegetable specialist, says about 70 percent of the state's chile pepper acreage is under drip.
The single drawback to drip, Hartman says, is related to the practice of minimum tillage in drip fields. Since the topsoil texture is smooth, high winds in the spring can create dust capable of "burning" the crop.
Looking to the future, what are the top issues needed for the chile industry to remain profitable? Hartman believes the development of verticillium wilt disease-resistant varieties and mechanical harvesters are the key components to survival; and the sooner the better.
