Last month, I blogged about the lavender fields in Sequim, Washington; about how they weren’t quite ready for prime time even though the annual Lavender Festival was at hand. I was up in Sequim the past several days for the annual Becker family campout, held this year at Sequim Bay State Park. Being so close to the lavender fields again, I decided to make a second visit to see what another month had brought. There was definitely much more lavender blooming than a month earlier. However, it appeared that all the farms have started harvesting the blooms, some more than others. Some fields are completely flowerless. Others are in full bloom. Still there were many good photo opportunities to be had. The Purple Haze farm we visited in July had many cut fields, but did have other fields in bloom, as well as many other flowers. We were not able to visit the Jardin du Soleil farm, the other farm we visited in July, as it was temporarily closed. However, from the road, its fields looked in good shape. By just driving around north of town, we found and stopped at four or five other farms as well. Many of the farms are currently distilling lavender oil. At the Port Williams farm, Tanya and I learned about lavender farming, how the oil is distilled, what products are made from it, as well as other interesting facts. For example, we learned the lavender is not irrigated, because it creates more oil when it is water stressed, and that humans are the only animals to eat lavender. Overall, it was definitely worth doing the lavender redux. You might try it as well if you find yourself in the Sequim area.

Alright so i finally had some time to go and mess around. I took my dog for his walk and decided to bring along a note book, pen, and my GPS. I wrote down the degrees at my shooting range and then walked down to the bottom of it and marked that down. Checked out some areas on the GPS where my Food plot will be, my water station as well as my tree ladder stand. Its pretty awesome to see this stuff on the GPS map as well as google earth. Red = Ladder Stand Yellow line = food plot area Small light blue spot = Water tank Larger blue spot by the water tank is my pond Big clearing is my shooting range which will also be a food plot with Crimson Clover. Now pictured most, the area thats really thinned out a great deal, this is my main food plot which will grow Deer Greens once i get enough Fertilizer in the ground next spring. I just thought it was really cool to finally be able to see where my areas were and mark them and see how i could use that to my advantage with food plots and later tree cutting. A muzzleloader muley hunt may be in the near future if the plots start bringing animals in and holding them.

Spade & Spoon craft quality Ontario jams, pickles, chutneys, maple syrups and many other culinary creations using fruits and vegetables grown by them and their network of growers around the family farm. Grower/producer arrangement, and their homemade approach ensures the freshest tastes while reviving the lost art of seasonal food preservation. They use pots + spoons, not vats and conveyor belts. You can taste the difference! They strive to grow as many of the ingredients as possible and let the Ontario climate and garden selection shape and influence recipes/menus. In fact, many of the products are prepared and canned the same day they are picked from the garden. Unlike commercial canneries, who use the left-overs from the food terminal or discounted undesirables (seconds), they grow their own and source very fresh ingredients to ensure the best taste and quality. They have a love of food, and a love of farming and our products are a testimony to this.

Morgavi et al. (7) demonstrated the synergism between exogenous and endogenous rumen enzymes such that the net combined hydrolytic effect in the rumen was much higher than that estimated from individual enzyme activities. Exogenous enzymes may be applied during ensiling or directly fed to animals during feeding (1). Enzyme application during ensiling gives an economical benefit to farmers by increasing the feed intake (i.e. palatability) and digestion rate (1,9). Direct addition of enzymes to animal feeds just before feeding is much easier and more applicable in terms of agronomic practices. This study assessed the effects of cellulase, xylanase, and their mixture (1:1, v/v) on in vitro rumen fermentation of five mixed rations with different maize silage (F) to concentrate (C) ratios (0F:100C, 25F:75C, 50F:50C, 75F:25C, 100F:0C). Samples were incubated using rumen inoculum from Brown Swiss cows fed ad libitum a total mixed ration of concentrate and alfalfa hay (1:1). Gas production (GP) was recorded after 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72 h of incubation. Interaction effects (P < 0.0001) were observed between type of ration and enzyme for discrete lag time prior to GP. Ration type affected asymptotic GP (linear and quadratic, P < 0.0001) and in vitro GP at 24 h onward. Moreover, rations affected pH (linear and quadratic, P < 0.0001), dry matter degradability (quadratic, P = 0.05), metabolizable energy (linear, P = 0.038), short-chain fatty acids (linear, P = 0.0005), gas yield from truly digested dry matter at 24 h (linear, P = 0.0026), and microbial crude protein yield (linear, P = 0.0264). The most effective rations for in vitro GP during different times differed between different measured parameters. Enzyme administration was more effective when the ratio of maize silage was increased. |Appears in Collections:||Producción| Show full item record Items in DSpace are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated.

The paper, titled The Sheep’s Back, paints a positive picture for sheep farming but reveals improved productivity gains – supported by the growth of the national flock number from its near record low – are critical to realising the 21 per cent increase in global demand for meat and nine per cent rise for wool by 2040. ANZ Head of Agribusiness Mark Bennett said: “Economic growth in developing nations and consumption patterns give rise to optimism for sheep farming, with forecasts showing the total value of sheep meat produced could increase by 30 per cent by 2040. “But in order to be competitive and take advantage of this growth opportunity, sheep farmers will need to improve productivity through increased farm size, flock size and better on-farm processes. Farm management efficiencies include better land use, improved lambing and weaning rates, reduced fattening times and more intensive management,” Mr Bennett said. The paper suggests that while demand for lamb and mutton is not expected to grow at the same volume and value as beef, the percentage growth in value of global demand for sheep meat is expected to outstrip both pork and poultry. “The modelling in the report shows greater demand coming from Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Conversely, we’re expecting demand in other markets like America and Europe to cool,” Mr Bennett said. Asia will also continue to be the number one destination for Australian wool, and with China transitioning towards a service-based economy it’s expected Vietnam and Indonesia will increase their processing capabilities. “Overall demand for wool is only expected to increase slightly, but the value of global demand could also increase by as much as $1 billion by 2040,” Mr Bennett said. The report also highlights the role sheep production can play in risk management for mixed farm operations. Almost 30 per cent of farmers across the nation farm sheep, primarily as part of a mixed farming operation. Mr Bennett says sheep farming is a low cost and low volatility enterprise, which is less exposed to an international price than cropping, beef or dairy. “While we’re unlikely to reach the flock numbers and outputs of the 1970s, sheep and wool production still accounts for approximately 11 per cent of Australia’s agricultural production and 14 per cent of agricultural exports. Therefore the opportunity for expansion is there for sheep farmers with a focus on efficiencies, innovation and value-adding.” The report concludes that the sheep industry will continue to play an important role in the mix of Australian agriculture. “While we may not return to ‘riding on the sheep’s back’, Australia should take confidence from these future demand forecasts. The case for greater investment in the industry is strong,” Mr Bennett said. To download the report visit: http://anz.co/A19L304mPxa.

University of Iowa grad student creates simulation to decrease the number of farming fatalities Submitted by Madison Walzcak University of Iowa graduate Kayla Faust created a simulation to decrease the number of farming fatalities. Pictured, she operates the miniSim, one of only two such driving simulators in the world, at the National Advanced Driving Simulator in Coralville, Iowa. Designed to puts farmers on virtual roads and fields, the miniSim uses steering, pedals, shifters, and a seat from an actual tractor to replicate potentially dangerous driving situations. Faust hopes to find changes that need to be made in farming equipment to avoid accidents.

The last several years we have had as a part of the worship the last Sunday of April a “Blessing of the Crops” for our farmers and gardeners. The roots of such a service go all the way back in Europe in 470 AD. In this country such services started in 1929 as many churches began observing “Rogation Sunday”, “Rural Life Sunday”, or “Soil Stewardship Sunday”. “Earth Day” was also set around this time of year. God’s creation is wonderful gift! Life for Adam and Eve began in a Garden. God promised the Hebrews that if they obeyed God then they could expect God’s blessings upon their land and their crops. In much of life we “reap what we sow”. On April 29, bring some seeds from your farm or garden and we will ask God’s blessings on the seed, soil and water and on all who grow food and fiber.

The Dust Bowl has estimated about over 70,000 people dead. Bad Agricultural practices were more responsible for this ecological disaster than were weather conditions, although the lack of rain certainly played a role. Need an essay customized under your requirements? On top of this, a drought struck the Great Plains from 1934-1937. Learn more about the Black Sunday storm through the voice of man who lived through it: Woody Guthrie. The maize threshed the air current and made a dry, hotfooting sound. He explained the background of the dust bowl, who could have ownership in California, and the highway that leads from Oklahoma to California. One of them, Great Dust Storm, describes the events of Black Sunday. The result was dry air and high temperatures in the Midwest from about 1931 to 1939. Farmers throughout the Midwest stripped the prairie-lands to make more farms. Approximately 200,000 farmers left the Dust Bowl area and relocated to California. The wall is as tall as a mountain and covers the horizon. The Dust Bowl began with drought of 1930 and lasted a decade throughout the 1930s until the last drought of 1940. Car-loads, trains, homeless and hungry ; twenty thousand and 50 1000 and a hundred thousand and two hundred 1000s. The American farmers takes out loans to purchase new equipment. A post- recession led farmers to try new mechanized farming techniques as a way to increase profits. John Steinbeck wanted to get a better emotional. After drought preservation patterns and irrigation increased, farm sizes grew larger, harvest diverseness increased, federal harvest insurance was established, and the regional economic system was diversified. President Roosevelt initiated the Shelterbelt Project in March 1937 to protect the land from further erosion by planting trees across the Great Plains, everywhere from northern Texas to Canada. When winds blew, soil was picked up and blew about. . . But these 200,000 migrants represented only a small proportion of all the people who were forced to find a new home. Continue on to the Got It? Soil erosion is the main trigger of dust storms as long as the loose soil lies in the path of strong winds. Sustainable agriculture and soil conservation practices could help avoid another dust bowl, but experts aren't sure that such measures will be enough if extended and severe drought revisits the Great Plains. The Dust Bowl was caused by several different factors that all seemed to come together at the same time. Some of the social consequences of the Dust Bowl can be found in. Facts about the Dust Bowl for kids Dust Bowl Fact 1: There were 4 distinct droughts that hit the United States in the 1930s - 1930-1931, 1934, 1936, and 1939-1940 which all contributed to the disaster. Florence Owens Thompson was aged 32 years old when the photo was taken. The Great Plains were no longer grasslands so there were no roots to hold the soil in place. Small by small the sky was darkened by the commixture dust, and carried off. Cold sea surface temperatures reduced the sum of wet come ining the jet watercourse and directed it south to U. Who caused this enormous calamity? The core of the Dust Bowl was located in Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Nebraska and New Mexico see Dust Bowl Map below. The drouth plan which was started by U. . Todd and Robert Sonkin made an expedition to migrant cantonments in California to detect more about how was it to populate in those rough conditions, to detect effects of dust bowl. Dust Bowl gave birth to many first-class American art which included literature picture taking and music. . The first lasted from 1930 to 1931, the second occurred in 1934, the third in 1936, and the last period of drought lasted from 1939 to 1940. More than two-thirds were farmers. The Dust Bowl And Its Role In The Great Depression Note: Overtilling the soil caused the Dust Bowl. The Black Blizzards were the massive, dark dust storms that ripped up the topsoil sweeping thousands of tons of dirt across the whole region. During early European and American exploration of the Great Plains, the region in which the Dust Bowl occurred was thought unsuitable for European-style agriculture; indeed, the region was known as the Great American Desert. Between 1909 and 1932 more so 30 million estates of land were plowed. Nowadays, it is also used to describe the period in the 1930s. By 1890 there are 900 manufacturers of farm machinery. The National Guard was also called to help with the grasshoppers — they crushed them with tractors and burnt infected fields. The Great Plains was a region of the United States that witnessed 100 million acres of topsoil being stripped from over used farmland. People died in the Dust Bowl because many droughts and lack of food. No matter how families tried to seal their homes, the dust still got everywhere. The farmers who worked the Great Plains had been breaking up the sod and soil on the plain states since the time of the Homestead Act. Houses were covered by dust, animals died and a lot of people developed pneumonia. When the wind arose, it blew the top layer of soil into the air. Europe did not have the time for growing crops so they bought food from the united states. Catastrophe caused people change their agriculture ways, leave their places and suffer. In 1930s drouth worsened the economic status.

All this warm weather we are having is making want to plant our garden! We will be planting towards the end of April, to make sure we don't get any freezes. Last year we planted 27 tomato plants and harvested over 500 tomatoes! I canned and froze most of them! I also canned pickles (which were gone before summer was even over, they were too yummy!!) I used the water bath method last year. This year I am thinking about using a pressure cooker. All be known....I have a FEAR of pressure cookers. I have never used one. My mother and mother-in-law and both grandmothers have used them, but I have never used one. I am terrified of them. Not sure why, maybe because its the metal pot being under so mush pressure not to mention the heat it is containing and that at any moment it can literally blow its lid! But...I am determined to try it this year! It will, by no doubt, save me canning time! Here is what we are for sure having in the garden this year: 30 Tomato plants (all heirloom) Corn (we are growing this for our chickens to eat) Bell Peppers (any color) I have yet to try an herb garden but I am wanting to try these this year" Last year we attempted to grow lettuce and in years past we have tried Okra, Brussels Sprouts, Broccoli and Cauliflower. Oh and not to mention the Green Beans have failed because of pesky Rabbits. But, this year, I purchased 2 ducks. Mallords to be exact. I have read up on them. As long as you get the plants past the very beginning stages of growing, and onto the producing stage, you can let your ducks roam in your garden and they will eat all the bugs off your plants without eating your harvest. We are fencing in the garden this year and are going to let the ducks roam. If they start to eat my harvest then it is back to the Chicken Coop for them. We have already began to fertilize the garden soil with chicken droppings. Hubby will go over the soil a couple of more rounds with the tiller and then we are set to plant! Every year we have success in growing something.... I think it might have something to do with the fact that every fall, when the harvest is over and gone, we have a bonfire in our garden, burning all that is left over from the stems and roots of the plants. No only does this purify the soil but it helps get rid of the leftover Tomato stems. I am looking forward to planting this year!! Just wish my back was as excited as my heart is! What are you going to be planting this year?? ~Remember to put God first, and everything else will follow~

Charlie Dimmock has divulged her top gardening tips ahead of her trip to Cumbria. Charlie will offer her expert advice and top tips to amateur gardeners and visitors when she appears as a celebrity guest for the 24th annual Holker Garden Festival next Saturday (June 4). Here, she gives a few tips ahead of the festival for Cumbrian gardeners who are making the most of the beautiful May weather. "For any guests who want to get a bit more involved this Spring and want to start planting more flowers, I would recommend starting with hardy annuals such as poppies, marigolds and corn flowers.” Photo by Janet Queen "Another thing I would recommend this season is planting your own vegetables and helping your children to plant too. Children are much more willing to eat vegetables if they have grown them themselves and you don't need much space at all to grow the basic ones.” "Start with tomatoes because they taste so great, but there are plenty of salad vegetables you can integrate in to your flower borders. "Kale is hugely trendy at the moment and it's one of the easiest members of the cabbage family to grow. Plus it looks quite pretty nestled in among the flowers because it has quite curly leaves." The Holker Garden Festival, run by Choose Cumbria partner Holker Group, takes place from Friday, June 3 – Sunday, June 5 at Holker Hall and Gardens.

|The trusty zone map| It's time to start having those extravagant dreams of your gorgeously planned and meticulously executed vegetable garden accompanied by your fantastically colorful and splendidly fragrant flower patio garden. For most of us this dream also includes the acres of rich dark soil that you also don't have. But anyplace can be a garden. And now is the time to get started ( even in those cold zones you may have some seeds to start indoors...). This is one dream herb garden complete with dream soil. But in reality, all you actually need to grow the amount of herbs used by a normal sized family is this window box: I have been noticing lots of creative vertical gardens out there and really want to try some of these ideas. Great space savers, but also good for certain crops that normally end up lying on the ground. Like these berries! You don't even need a backyard for this. And it's so pretty! This is the kind of garden you dream about, waking up, pouring a cup of coffee, going out to check on your babies, see what's new. You can be the very proud gardener in here! Along with the vertical garden, one more thing I am obsessing about is what is affectionately referred to as 'zombie gardening'. If you're like me you're thinking 'you had me at zombie' but it gets even more awesome in that it refers to sprouting and growing your table scraps. Celery, potatoes, avocado pits, garlic cloves etc... There are so many helpful gardeners out there spreading their great tips and tricks... Here are a couple I found that seem very useful: Start your seedlings in toilet paper rolls and when you're ready to plant you put the whole thing in the ground and the cardboard will eventually decompose. Using plastic bottle tops and plastic bags for mini greenhouse effect. Well, there is much work to be done. Lots of trial and error. And hopefully, lots of success! Dream big, plant some food and flowers and feel good ; )

Troia and Montepulciano grapes, typical of our area, combined with Aglianico grapes, grown on a fertile hilly land facing south, in a favorable microclimate, gives rise to a wine of intense ruby color, impenetrable and complex on the nose, with flavour of large fruit jam and cherries, supported by hints of vanilla and cocoa wood aging. The taste is persistent and large, very pleasant-based sweet tannins, well integrated into the complexity of the wine. Served at a temperature of 18 ° C. reveals a wide range of match, but especially in homemade pasta with sauces based on meat, or grilled and braised. San Domenico and Zagaria, the two estates of the Azienda Agricola Conte Spagnoletti Zeuli, occupy about 1,000 acres in the countryside of Andria, in northern part of the province of Bari. While most of the land is dedicated to olive groves, the slopes of the outlying hills are planted with rows of Nero di Troia, Montepulciano, Aglianico e Bombino Nero, native grapes from which Castel del Monte, glory of the local wine culture, is born. Blessed by calcareous soil and a dry, mild climate, warmed by the sun even in the winter, this is ideal olive country. The trees themselves are cultivated in accordance with the socalled “Barese chalice ” method, each plant from 9 to 15 feet in height and hollowed out at the center, as dictated by centuries of local tradition. The farm cultivates the Coratina variety, pride of the northern part of Bari province, which, thanks to expert processing techniques, give to the olive oil an exceptional richness and density, as well as excellent organoleptic qualities such as flavor, fragrance and color. All of the groves are outfitted with drip irrigation systems capable of providing each plant with up to 4 gallons of water per hour. The Spagnoletti Zeuli family’s love for the earth has ancient roots. It is in the heart of this countryside that Onofrio Spagnoletti Zeuli, Count of Andria, combines traditional wisdom with entrepreunerial drive and investments in modern technology and research. In this way, he perpetuates the legacy of a family whose centuries-old relationship with the olive and the grape can only be described as one of genuine veneration. Today the farm “Conte Spagnoletti Zeuli” produces DOCG and DOC wines like “Castel del Monte” (Nero di Troia, Montepulciano, Aglianico, Bombino Nero, Bombino Bianco and Pampanuto etc.) and IGT Murgia (FIANO), extra virgin olive oil DOP “Terra di Bari” sub the famous location of “Castel del Monte”, we produce only extra virgin olive oil of 100% Italian olive.

Managed by Multilog, the dry port benefited from the heated market in Paraguay, registering an increase in exports of cement, iron, fertilizers and automobiles. Due to the drought, the import of grain via road transport is also on the rise, as barges cannot move because of the low volume of water in the rivers. Multilog registered an increase of 86.25% in the volume of traffic at Porto Seco de Foz do Iguaçu in April. The growth percentage is compared to April 2020, when the volume was severely reduced by the beginning of the pandemic. The scenario is now different and exports were driven by the heated Paraguayan market, in particular civil construction, with demand for cement and iron, and agribusiness, with fertilizers. The export of vehicles and automotive parts has also been intense. Imports are also on the rise between the two countries because the harvest was very good and, in addition, the barges cannot navigate due to the low volume of water in the rivers, so that grain production is basically transported through road transport. From January to April, 80,779 trucks passed through Porto Seco in Foz do Iguaçu. Last year, a survey carried out by the Federal Revenue Service revealed that Porto Seco de Foz do Iguaçu, managed by Multilog, registered record growth rates in the last four months of 2020, consolidating itself as the largest in Latin America in terms of cargo volume.

A history in potatoes Swancote started with potatoes and today is still all about potatoes. The Davies family had a long history of potato growing in Shropshire before deciding to add value – the pioneers of farm diversification. In 1995 the family established Swancote Foods, having identified an opportunity for the manufacture of cooked potato ingredients. The initial premise of the business was to produce both freshly cooked and pasteurised potato and we continue to do this today. The family built on their understanding of the raw ingredient to build a strong business based in Telford – in a 35,000sq ft facility on 3.5 acres. In 2007 Greenvale acquired Swancote – completing their vertically integrated supply chain. A fully integrated business Established over 40 years ago, Greenvale is now one of the UK’s leading suppliers of fresh potatoes. The business operates from three fresh packing sites, a dedicated seed facility, and our Swancote processing factory, all strategically located across the country in key potato growing regions. Greenvale invests significantly in research and development, including the breeding and selection of new improved potato varieties, then moves through to the growing and management of the crops, before the packing and processing at it’s various sites – meeting a diverse range of customer requirements. Customers include retailers, processors, food manufacturers and caterers – supplying both fresh and processed product. As part of the Produce Investments group, Greenvale’s success is built on strong, collaborative relationships with our many partners – from our extensive customer base right back down the supply chain to growers, seed breeders and suppliers, as well as research organisations. And as a company, Greenvale aims to be market leaders through linking outstanding consumer insight, sustainable procurement, technical innovation and operational efficiency to provide our many customers with good quality products at great value.

Did you know that 81% of American homeowners have a lawn or green space in their yard? Keeping your yard looking great is all about good lawn maintenance. A lush, well-kept lawn is the ideal green backdrop for colorful floral borders, a lovely setting for summer get-togethers, plus an excellent habitat for birds and other wildlife. We’ve put this guide together to show you how to keep your lawn looking its best no matter what time of year. Read on for our top four lawn care maintenance tips. 1. Mow Regularly: In the summer, cut your grass at least once a week, and every two weeks in the spring, autumn, and warm winters. Regular cutting stimulates root growth, which helps give your lawn volume and keeps weeds at bay. Raise the height of your lawnmower blade in the summer to keep the lawn trimmed to around 10 cm. This makes it less prone to browning in dry conditions. Remember to maintain your mower regularly and keep the blades sharp. 2. Don’t Neglect Watering: You wouldn’t go months without watering your border or house plants, so why should your lawn be any different? Water young lawns frequently, but not excessively, as this might lead to shallow roots and poor coverage. Sprinklers are great for keeping lawns watered, but try to use rainwater or wastewater from your bath or sink whenever you can. Don’t be too concerned if a mature lawn turns brown; it’s not dead. When the rains fall, it will sprout new growth and go green again. 3. Weed Your Lawn: Many common lawn weeds have broad leaves that can suffocate the grass and restrict development. However, they are simple to remove using a hand trowel. Yellow medick, clover, buttercups, and other weeds can also overtake a lawn, but using a rake can help thin them out and make them lift easier when you mow your lawn. Avoid applying weed killers if possible. Chemical weed killers can be costly and do not address poor grass health, allowing weeds to flourish. If you must use one, try using a natural weed killer instead. 4. Hire a Professional Lawn Maintenance Service: While lawn maintenance is essential, it is also time-consuming and can be frustrating. If you are having problems with your lawn maintenance, or would simply prefer to spend your time doing something else, a professional lawn maintenance service can help. Check out this excellent lawn care provider for a range of lawn maintenance options and solutions. Lawn Maintenance Made Easy: So, that’s our rundown on how you can keep your lawn or green space in great shape all year round. The lawn is the heart of your garden, and our lawn maintenance tips will help you keep it looking its best. Did you find this article helpful? If so, be sure to check out the rest of our blog for everything you need to know about gardening, lifestyle, business, and more.

The content and theme of this book in point of fact will lie alongside . 2 days ago This publication has been prepared to acquaint growers, packers, and shippers with the most current information and recommendations for proper postharvest handling of sweetpotatoes. Sweet potato originated from tropical Central America. Botanically, the un-derground part is classifi ed as a storage root, rather than a tuber, as is the white (“Irish”) potato (Solanum tuberosum). The most common type of sweet potato found in US markets is the . animal feeds. potato starch can find numerous uses in manufacturing of foods and other products. This manual is a guide in the production of potatoes in Kenya, focusing on ware production. In general, however, any advice that relates to high yield and quality tuber production is applicable to seed potato seed production too. Sweet potatoes are not tolerant of frost. This results in the production of cuttings for spring plantings being limited to frost-free areas or in tunnels. Build-up of viruses in sweet potato plants can severely limit production. It is essential to use virus free material and not use the same material year in and year out.

Biofit feeds is the first company in Kenya to harness water hyacinth and convert it into animal feeds. Lake Victoria produces 400,000 tonnes of freshwater hyacinth annually and this large volume has become a menace on the water surface. We are doing value addition to water hyacinth, turning the weed into high-quality livestock feed products. In 2016, biotechnologist Jack Oyugi was trying to devise affordable, alternative types of animal feed. He noted that during dry spells, when other greens were exhausted, animals would turn to water hyacinth. However, animals like cows cannot feed on water hyacinth for long because of an irritant in the leaves. After research and development, Oyugi was able to make a product that was appealing and safe for animals. Upon testing it both at the University of Nairobi and the Netherlands, and then doing a pilot study on animals in the Homa Bay region, he discovered that the feed increased milk production by 20% while costing half as much as traditional feeds. Oyugi was able to obtain a partnership with SNV Netherlands Development Organisation which helped him upscale to reach a thousand dairy farmers in Meru - and hence Biofit was born. Oyugi brought on three partners: a veterinarian, a livestock nutritionist, and a crop scientist. Since launching in 2018 We have partnered with government institutions, Parastatals, and Non-governmental organizations in Kenya and across the world. Dealing with the water hyacinth menace had become a seemingly insurmountable challenge for communities living near Lake Victoria. The water hyacinth infestation has cut off vital income sources by smothering other aquatic life like fish, rendering fishing grounds inaccessible, damaging fishing equipment and hindering transport by boat. Prior strategies to manage and control the proliferation of water hyacinth have failed. Biofit offers a possible solution to eliminating the weed while helping the community in the following ways: Conventional animal feed prices have shot up to new highs, with manufacturers warning of further increases. Biofit has come to the rescue of farmers in the region by offering feed that's both cheap and nutritious. Biofit feeds can boost the yields of meat, milk, eggs and other animal products by at least 15 percent. Biofit has created employment for 8 full-time and 4 casual employees. The team consists of 4 highly skilled individuals with a background of research and entrepreneurship. Since water hyacinth impedes fishing activities, Biofit has contracted 20 fishermen to harvest the weed, creating a new source of income for them. The enterprise also boosts women's incomes by hiring them to do sun-drying of the plant.

Oxford PhD selling veggies online, a fair intermediary directly delivering fresh flavour. Enterprise/business philosophy and objectives of the founder Taiwan’s agriculture is dominated by small-scale farmers, with low production yields and diversified crops. Wholesalers often lack quality assurance, and prices tend to fluctuate. Farm Direct aims to improve the lives of small-scale farmers by running an online platform for the purchase of fresh produce, implementing the concept of “low food miles” in a decentralised supply chain, providing reasonable returns to producers, and reducing carbon emissions from food deliveries. It supports food being produced and sold locally in a smallholder economy, while at the same time values food safety. History of development/business model Farm Direct provides an intermediary platform for fair trade between farmers and consumers by cooperating with local farmers. As soon as crops are harvested, farmers take their goods to the collection point and log online. Consumers can then go online to order their fresh produce, which is first packaged by staff, before being delivered by scooter or courier on the same day as the order is placed. Farm Direct only services people within a 30 km range, and never transfers or sells imported products. In addition to fruit and vegetables, it also offers fresh and processed products. The production environments and planting or fishing methods of all goods are first determined in order to confirm that pesticides or additives have not been used and to ensure health and safety before cooperation begins. Creating social value/mitigating social problems Farm Direct reminds people to respect the natural environment, as well as promotes the sustainable development of agriculture. For farmers, Farm Direct provides a safe and stable channel and reasonable prices, so that livelihoods are guaranteed. For consumers, a variety of agricultural products from different professional farmers who have grown and taken responsibility for their goods, and Farm Direct’s checks for pesticides or other food additives, means that food health and safety is guaranteed. At the same time, consumers can use the simple act of purchasing goods to support a smallholder economy and reduce carbon emissions.

Busy days. Many things needs to happen at the same time. Seeds and seedlings nursed to give veggies later on, the greenhouse cleaned up after the winter, preparations for the first tour of the house, continuing with building stuff! Also a very rewarding time, as soon as the sun is out we have summer temperatures. The wines and other shrubs have started to get leafs which is very nice, soon we’ll disapear in greenery 🙂 The upper balcony/terrace is mostly finshed, now it’s more smaller touches left to go, a cool space. Once we have built a stairs from the ground up, the house will become and even more confusing 3D puzzle, awesome! We got some nice documents from the local council, the permanent occupancy permit, no more interim permit! Very nice, thanks Vallentuna! We also sent water samples to the lab for testing. The drinking water has become better than the test done shortly after the well was drilled, quite normal. Slightly harder (more Ca) which would explain the calcium buildup we have in the sink etc. A de-hardening filter would be good. The other water sample was from the cleaned/treated waste water after the growing beds. VERY nice result! The beds are only 1 year old though so the values might increase a bit further on. But the echoli, BOD7 and phosforous values was extremely low. Lower than the big treatment plant north of Stockholm. Drinking water quality. The nitrogen is slightly higher but that is due to no plants growing in the winter, it will be nice to compare with a new sample after the summer. Anders Solvarm http://www.ecorelief.se stopped by one evening as he passed by Stockholm. Great to catch up, have a look around and do even more measurements on the beds. Anders designed and built the whole treatment system. This time he brought a measuring probe that could sample pH and ammonium nitrogen. I.E. sample before and after the beds to see how efficient they really are. Yucky to take the pre-bed samples but great to see the results, the nitrogen was reduced ~100 times by the beds. PH rose in the bed, probably due to the different types of salts that goes hand in hand with the nitrogen if I understood correctly. Results and more exact numbers from the tests are published under the ”data” page to the left. Also on the data page are the data from the heat recovery pumps first year. I expect the numbers to become even better next winter when the greenhouse is finished and will keep the temperature higher around the house + more filling material around the slab + house logs sinking/compacting making the walls tighter + tuning of the heat system + using the wood stove more. Only a few days left now before the first open tour of the house, lots to do, little time. Hopefully people will be happy afterwards at least. More dates for the summer has been added too, book your tour now! 🙂 Time for some pictures! A bumble bee that needed some sugar (amazing little straw it has to suck up nectar), finishing some of the facade, washing the windows (everyone seems very intrigued how we wash the windows), big tulips flowering like crazy, wine leafs, more tulips and finally the solar sails that makes the balcony not too hot during the day. Way too nice to sit in the shade and work from home on the computer. Last pic of our road that got a sping cleaning too, a good grating/planing to get rid of potholes. Making the road grate again!

Hydroponic vegetables are grown in a nutrient solution (a mix of water and minerals that plants require to thrive) instead of using soil. They are produced in a controlled environment, which means there is better protection against severe weather conditions, plagues and pests. Why are hydroponic vegetables better? – Hydroponic vegetables have the advantage in nutrition and taste in comparison with their counterparts produced by other methods. – In hydroponic, no soil is needed, therefore, soil erosion is not a problem. – Water and nutrients are conserved, greatly reducing the resources necessary to grow food. – It is possible to control the nutrition levels in its entirety. – No nutrition pollution is released into the environment because of the controlled system. – Pest and disease problems are reduced. At Hydro Veggies we care about both you and the environment. That is why we are working on producing the best quality vegetables to provide you with great nutrition while reducing the effects on the environment. We have carefully selected the varieties we are growing. Bureau of Agricultural Research (BAR).

Nearly 80% of Tanzanians are subsistence farmers who rely on the weather for their livelihoods. Farmers traditionally grow the same crops - maize and pigeon peas, and, in the Babati area, some also grow sunflowers. Prices fluctuate massively, subject to harvests - which are entirely dependent on when and how much it rains. This means farming is a precarious lifestyle with little income security. Many farming techniques in Tanzania are outdated too; most farmers learnt from their parents and neighbours, and are fearful of change, The majority of Babati's children suffer from stunted growth due to poor diet - a direct result of their parents' farming activities. This poor diet leaves the body undernourished and less likely to be able to fight off diseases. If we want to tackle a child's health and wellbeing, we need to address their diet, as well as their understanding of the relationship between diet and wellbeing. We also need to demonstrate how farmers can farm fruit and vegetables for themselves without huge risk. With improved family diet and greater income security, householders can meet more of their priorities - and essentially farm themselves out of poverty.

Cornyn, Luján Introduce Bill to Combat Cattle Fever Tick Infestations WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) yesterday introduced the Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program Enhancement Act, which would help combat cattle fever tick infestations across the country: “Cattle fever tick infestations can cause devastating losses for ranchers across Texas and the nation,” said Sen. Cornyn. “This legislation would kickstart improvements to the Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program and help mitigate losses caused by these parasites, and I urge my colleagues to support it.” “Cattle fever ticks are a major risk for livestock across the Southwest, including in eastern and southern New Mexico. As New Mexico becomes a major hub for cattle imports from Mexico, it’s critical that Congress addresses the risk of cattle fever ticks,” said Sen. Luján. “I’m proud to introduce this bipartisan legislation to support New Mexico farmers, ranchers, and producers, and keep livestock safe.” Companion legislation was introduced in the House by Representative Monica De La Cruz (TX-15). In recent years, cattle fever tick infestations have skyrocketed, threatening the cattle industry across Texas and the nation. This legislation would direct the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to enter into a contract with a land-grant college or university or a non-land-grant college of agriculture to study the effectiveness of the USDA’s Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program and would require a report on any suggestions for improvements to the program. This legislation is endorsed by the Texas Farm Bureau and the Texas Cattle Feeders Association.

I told you about the sweet corn and cantaloupe that my neighbor gave me. But I don't think I mentioned that she has also given me green beans. 41 quarts of green beans. AND two heads of Napa cabbage that made the best salads. My neighbors mom, who also is my neighbor, has given me just about more zucchini than we can eat. Now, I am not a total mooch. We had LOTS of sweet corn. And we shared with 3 other families. We are currently enjoying new potatoes and tomatoes from our own garden. And the peaches I canned, well I purchased those myself. And if any of you would like to make home-made ice cream, give us a call. We would be more than happy to share our bounty of milk. As long as you let us taste the fruits...of your labors!

The primary purpose of a grain auger is to move grain at a consistent rate from a grain storage vessel into a grain mill for cracking. In general, grain augers employ a rotating helical screw blade to move the grain through a tube. Portland Kettle Works’ Flexible Auger Assembly conveys up to 50 pounds of grain per minute, and integrates seamlessly into our MaltMaster Grain Crusher.

You are watching: Which is an example of the beneficial application of plants in human society? National Research Council (US) Committee on Examination of Plant Science Research Programs in the USA. Plant Biology Research and also Training for the 21st Century. Washington (DC): National Academies Press (US); 1992. National Research Council (US) Committee on Examination of Plant Science Research Programs in the USA. Throughout humale history, plants have actually been the object of pervasive and also at times leading artistic and intellectual interest. Plants were important subjects from the earliest examine of life processes, and they were central to clinical study in the nineteenth and also early twentieth centuries. Good factors remain to study the basic life procedures of plants. Research on plants enwide range our intellectual life and also adds to our knowledge around other life procedures. The outcomes of study on plant units additionally deserve to teach us exactly how to approach difficulties in farming, health, and also the environment. Plants, Human being Health, and also Civilization Our expertise of plant life underpins a huge selection of tasks and also touches essentially every aspect of human life. From their origins, huguy people have depfinished for their development and prosperity on their ability to regulate plants and also have periodically fallen bereason of their faiattract to perform so. Throughout background, plants have actually been collected, traded, selectively adapted for new settings, and bred for new combicountries of traits. Plants have actually been manipulated for use as food and also fiber, and for many type of other, particularly aesthetic, functions. Modern human being rests on the successful and continual cultivation of plants and on the wise use of the biologic and also physical reresource base on which their cultivation counts. Our knowledge about the human being around us is incomplete if we carry out not encompass plants in our discoveries, and it is distorted if we carry out not place adequate emphasis on plant life. Tbelow are many type of compelling useful factors likewise for society to invest in study around plants and to educate its citizens for careers in which expertise about plants is essential. From standard discoveries around plant life arise modern technologies and capabilities in a large variety of valuable applications (Figure 2). Potential applications of plan-biology research study. Plants and the Environment Only greater plants and a few microorganisms can transform light energy from the sun right into chemical power. Photoman-made organisms are at the center of the earth"s hospitality to other life. Plants and photoartificial bacteria offered rise to the earth"s environment. They are necessary in regulating climate and the chemical and also biologic problems of the soil and also water. Photosynthetic plants are the resource of the fossil fuels we are depleting this particular day, and they provide the many easily harvested resource of renewable energy for tomorrow. The main atmospheric gas incorporated by plants in photosynthesis, carbon dioxide, is just one of the major ""greenhouse"" gases. Plants regulate the carbon cycle of the biosphere. Plants, in part via their distinctive symbiotic relationships via microorganisms, additionally play a major function in regulating the partitioning of nitrogen between atmospheric and life procedures. We will certainly never fully understand the worldwide environment—or have actually a serious hope of efficiently controlling it in the confront of explosive populace growth—till we have actually a much more in-depth understanding of plants, their cellular processes, and also their ecology and population biology. Plants are important in keeping a healthy environment, for instance, by controlling erosion and also water pollution, and also by helping to mitigate air pollution. They enhance the setting for humale tasks everywhere—from indoor spaces to vast wilderness areas. The function of terrestrial plants and also marine phytoplankton in preserving an environment suitable for huguy habitation is inadequately appreciated, but there is a flourishing recognition of the urgent should illuminate the function of plants. The accumulated results of more than a century of commercial activity, explosive populace growth, severe shifts in land usage, and also various other impacts of human usage of the earth display that humale tasks can overpower the buffering effects of the organic procedures that regulate international climate. The health and also wellbeing of the huguy race can well remainder on our achieving a far better knowledge on which to base an extra reasoned exploitation of plant life. Unique and also Scientifically Interesting Properties of Plants Plants differ from animals in a number of crucial means. Advancement. The growth of a plant from an undistinguished cell right into a complete and also mature organism needs only a few hormones. Additionally, plant cells are totipotent: It is possible to regeneprice a entirety plant from a single leaf or root cell. In comparison, specific cells (the germ line) of an animal in early advancement form the germ cells. Plants have no germ line in this sense and also create sexual organs and gametes from somatic tconcern late in their advance. Biochemistry. Plants are virtually the single resource of new oxygen and also carbohydprices on the world. Light is harvested by distinctive organelles, the chloroplasts. Plants synthedimension the 20 amino acids compelled for proteins, consisting of the 10 amino acids that people are unable to produce. Moreover, in a distinctive symbiotic partnership via some plants, microorganisms can settle atmospheric nitrogen for plant usage in the synthesis of amino acids, proteins, and also various other compounds. Physiology. Plants lack the significant organ systems current in animals. Yet, their physiology permits them to respond to their environment. Instead of an immune device, they have inducible condition resistance mechanisms that permit them to make herbal toxins versus fungal and also bacterial pathogens. Instead of a nervous device, they have a collection of receptors and also pigments that permit them to respond to their setting. Instead of a muscular and also skeletal device, they have a novel collection of fibers for support. They are attached to their substrates, and they can move only by thriving or by gaining or shedding water. Plants and Global Warming Atmospheric modelers are trying to evaluate the results of transforms in carbon dioxide concentration on international weather trends and temperature. Models that predict carbon dioxide uptake and also water loss by leaves grown under different eco-friendly conditions deserve to make an essential contribution to elucidating international climate change. Other plant study is required to build sensitive ways to recognize how a lot of the light energy soaked up by a leaf is used for photosynthesis (for metabolism and growth) and how a lot is ssuggest reradiated as heat. The performance via which plants usage light have the right to vary enormously in response to environmental variables, such as water tension, temperature, condition or insect damage, or fluctuations in the supply of nitrogen or phosphorus. Theoretical models are being rigorously tested, with a fair degree of success. In enhancement, remote-sensing methods are being occurred to evaluate the photoartificial performance of totality plant neighborhoods in response to stress. Modeling and speculative researches promise the quantitative information forced to put predictions of atmospheric adjust (or lack of it) on a sound basis. Plants in Agriculture, Medicine, and Industry Macroscopic and microscopic plants form the first attach in the terrestrial and aquatic food chains. Plants are thus at the heart of agriculture. With Each Other with microorganisms and also trained animals, plants carry out the raw materials for our food and also drink. Plants additionally provide many of the materials provided in garments and also buildings. The application of standard knowledge around plants has made modern-day farming possible. For instance, researches of the nutrient requirements of plants led to soil fertility administration. The Green Radvancement was founded on fundamental knowledge gleaned from research study in genetics and plant nutrition. Genetic manipulation is an effective, prstove method for improving the efficiency, top quality, and also illness resistance of plants. Basic knowledge of hereditary inheritance, defense responses, pathogen genes, and populace genetics will certainly continue to yield improvements in the innovation required to secure a steady food supply. Plants are important to huguy health and wellness. They are the sole resource of some of the essential amino acids, vitamins, and various other nutrients in our diet. Research with plants was central to elucidating the function of vitamins in huguy health and wellness and disease: Plants high in ascorbic acid, such as peppers and citrus, prevent scurvy. Grains in the diet carry out B vitamins. Many kind of drugs were first found as plant commodities before methods for their synthesis were arisen. Research on plants succumbed cardiac glycosides (such as digitalis), a large variety of advantageous alkaloids (such as scopolamine, atropine, quinine, and also ephedrine), dicoumarol, and also many kind of other drugs. Research on lower plants and agricultural soils succumbed many type of antibiotics. Even today, more than 20 percent of all prescription drugs are derived from plants. The chemical sector developed from the work-related of Gerguy scientists that learned to synthedimension dyes from coal tar, a derivative of fossil plants, to rearea the commonly used dyes acquired from wild and grew plants. Now, the search has actually been reversed and also plant-obtained products are smust replace harmful coal tar dyes. Modern sector and also society continue to depend in many ways on chemical commodities acquired from plants, such as soaps, detergents, rubber, paints, resins, plastics, adsorbents, and also adhesives. Plants and also the Origins of Modern Biology Research via plants has actually strongly affected the advancement of biology and also has contributed to many necessary clinical breakthroughs. It was research through plants that led to the discovery of the rules of genetic inheritance (Gregor Mendel"s peas), of the function of light in regulating the physiologic responses of better organisms (phytochromes), of transposition of genetic elements (regulating elements in maize), and of the protein nature of enzymes (urease). Research through a plant virus contributed to the elucidation of the framework of DNA itself (X-ray diffractivity through tobacco mosaic virus) and of the function of nucleic acids in the genetic product of all life creates. These examples show how the study of plants has actually affected biologic research for numerous generations. But exactly how well equipped are we to deal with the methods and obstacles that lie ahead? The methods of modern biology, and also in specific modern genes, make many kind of tough problems in plant biology approachable. Before the era of recombinant DNA, the devices easily accessible for genetic researches of plants" advance, metabolism, and also ecological responsiveness were fairly crude. Now contemporary genes provides new promise to the plant scientific researches. In some areas of modern biology, plants market the preferred version system for standard and also exploratory science with application of molecular hereditary techniques. Scientists now deserve to deliver genes easily among plant species, and bereason the genomes of some plant species are fairly tiny they have the right to be stupassed away readily. Plants can be used to answer many general concerns in biology in such diverse subself-controls as development, metabolism, gene regulation, symbiosis, and chromosome framework. It is not within the scope of this report to define a research study agenda for plant sciences. Other National Research Council reports have included pertinent study agendas, for example, Investing in Research (NRC, 1989a), Opportunities in Biology (NRC, 1989b), and also Forestry Research: A Mandate for Change (NRC, 1990). In current years, the clinical area has actually presented considerably boosted interemainder in research study via plants. The power of modern-day techniques to answer vital inquiries in plant biology has actually engendered the interemainder of researchers in leading colleges and other research establishments in the United States and abroad. Well-funded plant-biology laboratories here and also elsewhere are making research contributions at the cutting edge of biology. This heightened interemainder has created more worthy research proposals than public agencies can fund. An informal survey of the exclusive sector in agricultural biomodern technology shows that in the late 1980s about $250 million (exclusive of advance costs) annually was being spent on standard plant-biology research study by suppliers whose occupational was primarily or exclusively with plants. See more: Problem 13: A Hammer In An Out-Of-Tune Piano Tuning, Answered: A Hammer In An Out The fertility of contemporary plant-biology research is demonstrated in one-of-a-kind concerns of Science (November 16, 1990) and Cell (January 27, 1989). Developmental biology, cell-to-cell recognition, signal transduction, the molecular basis of disease, plant-microbe interactions, gene regulation, transposition, and photosynthesis are some of the areas covered in these issues. Several new plant journals have actually been released recently; three leading examples are: The Plant Cell, The Plant Journal, and also Plant Molecular Biology.

Dianthus Seeds and Flowers Dianthus flowers come in a wide variety of brilliance and beauty. There are about 300 species of this colorful flower. This flower is mainly a perennial herb but some are annual or biennial with some being subshrubs with woody basal stems. The flower has five petals which are usually frilled or pinked margin. The larvae of some lepidoptera species such as the cabbage moth, double striped pug and the lychins use the Dianthus as food. A few of the species of Coleophora case bearers also feed exclusively on the Dianthus. It’s possible the color pink was named after this flower. The Dianthus flower is first referenced in Greek and Roman times. The plant has been grown in Europe then in England and then made it's way to America. It has been used in fragrances, wines, soups, jams and sauces. Below is the scientific classification Dianthus Amurensis “Siberian Blues” which can be seen above grows to about 12 - 15” and has mauve blue flowers. It does best in normal to sandy conditions. It thrives throughout the continental United States. This flower has a very long blooming season and is drought tolerant after it is established. Its blooms appear from spring thru fall. It is good to sow from February to June or from September to October. It's best to sow the seeds on top of a lightly firmed moist compost of pots or in trays and cover them with a very light sprinkling of compost. Then seal the container inside a polythene bag keeping the temperature approximately 59 to 68 degrees fahrenheit. Light helps with germination so do not exclude light. Make sure the surface is moist but not waterlogged. The germination process usually lasts around 14 to 30 days. When large enough move to small pots or trays and plant after risk of frost with plants 12 inches apart. This Dianthus does well in a ordinary well drained soil. With an average amount of water. It likes full sunlight. Dianthus Zing Rose is also perennial. These Dianthus flowers are a shorter flower than the Siberian Blues and they grow to about a height of 6 inches. It is a brilliant rose mauve colored flower. It’s mature spread is about 12 to 18 inches. It blooms from summer to fall. It also likes a sunny location that is well drained but some shade is ok in the afternoon. Does well along walk paths or rock gardens. Thrivesl thoughtout the continental United States. This Dianthus Zing Rose produces dozens of blooms at a time. It likes a pH of 6.5 to 7.0. Do not mulch this plant or it may rot around the stems. These do tend to attract butterflies. Plant these about 10 inches apart. It has a clove like fragrance.

Make The Back garden Organic With One Of These Some TipsHorticulture making you capable of harvest refreshing vegatables and fruits proper in your own backyard. There exists practically nothing much better than clean tomato plants on greens or perhaps an overall greens starting from your own personal garden. The next article offers you http://www.isa-arbor.com/faca/findArborist.aspx suggestions to help make your horticulture project. Shift your chosen plants on the inside so they survive the winter months frosts. You just might save your most funds on or high-priced plants and flowers. Dig across the beginnings very carefully prior to transferring to some cooking pot. Don't mow your lawn straight down from the earth once you run the mower. When you abandon a number of the grass whenever you mow, the roots grow additional into the ground, that makes for a more powerful yard and definately will use a increased effectiveness against drying out out. Simple grass is much more prone to his explanation drying out out. Lamps are the best strategy to get blooms in summer and spring blossoms. Different types of light bulbs blossom at diverse times, so deciding on correctly, you can have blossoms from early on spring season to delayed summer season. Try out "boiling" weeds inside your garden with boiling hot water to eliminate them.Boiling water inside a harmless herbicide which won't damage your garden or maybe your physique. Boiling drinking water damage the weed roots of weeds and can slow down upcoming development. You can keep pests from penetrating your garden by making use of other plants and flowers and organic materials. Slugs are repelled by bordering your veggie backyard with possibly red onion or pungent greens. These techniques take away the need for tough chemical compounds. You must break down your irises.You may boost the volume of irises by splitting sections which can be overgrown.The lamps need to split up usually within the palm, and definately will probably flower the entire year soon after simply being replanted.It is possible to separate rhizomes using a knife. Cut the fundamental stalk and dispose off of each and every rhizome but preserve the lifeless center. Every new piece you cut must have a minimum of one healthier offshoot. Replant your new rhizome items the instant you have concluded ideal results. Use treatment when watering the garden. Use a variety of soaker hose in order that you don't need to do specific waterings with the garden hose nozzle, or perhaps a watering can that should be filled consistently. Use a lower drinking water pressure for your hose so you will not cause problems for the tender people in your backyard.Allow your soaker hose operate for a couple time while when you do other items. During the best several hours of every time, your greens grow to be as well soft, meaning even choosing them delicately can cause them harm. Utilizing plant life which increase the same length or size can make your your bed seem standard. Find more worth out of your land. Landscaping design gives one of the better redecorating results. Some good plants can improve your home importance by 20Percent or even more. Find more importance through your land. Landscaping design your house's curb appeal and provide you an effective profit for the investment devoted. Particular vegetation could increase the worth by approximately 20Percent or possibly a lot more! Organic and natural food products tend not to have got any chemical substance bug sprays. This is perfect for your health, but you must make sure for pest infestations. Study nearby botanical insecticides which can be valuable in deterring the insect inhabitants straight down. These are often more efficient than synthetically designed counterparts. Even so, due to their biological cosmetics, rendering them vanish faster. Horticulture, as you can see, is undoubtedly an awesome strategy to improve your very own delightful foods. You may be proud which you employed veggies and fruits which you became in your meals. Horticulture ought to be an entertaining, soothing and pleasurable interest you could present to other people.

We planted our lemon tree when we first bought our house, over the past 3 years I’ve been carefully watering, fertilising and caring for it. Each year when the buds and small lemons have appeared I’ve diligently removed all of them so the tree could focus its energy on growing rather than producing fruit. But this year I thought I’d see how it went with fruit. So I didn’t remove any buds and slowly over the last few months I’ve seen little lemons grow and turn yellow! I’m so excited as I’ve just picked and used my first lemons off the tree in a delicious salad dressing! They taste fantastic, they’re quite small but pack a sharp lemony punch. Hopefully many more lemons in the years to come!

Monday, 17 August, 2015 So we don’t need to list the one way that termites make your life worse, we all know that a termite infestation in a building can be a death sentence, turning an asset into a financial liability. But what can we mean about termites making life better, how on earth can a creature that costs our country more than all the storms, fires and floods each and every year have one thing that makes our life better let alone three! Well, you are in for a surprise. Here goes. Let us start with the most important and obvious (at least once we have told you). Termites are one of the most important decomposers on the planet. They are responsible for breaking down all the dead plant matter, which can unfortunately include your family home. While other animals do this job as well, none do it to the extent that the termite does. Termites are one of the most successful species on the planet and this can be seen in their numbers, for every human on the planet they believe that there are 3-5 times your body weight in termites! They spend all their lives breaking down old plant matter and without them the entire planet’s ecosystem would virtually grind to a halt, with dead plants just piling up all over the place. Even without the others on this list, this alone makes termites a net gain to our lives. Another amazing thing that termites do is improve the soil. With so many termites living underground they actually have been found to improve soil around the world. One thing they do is that they are able to ‘fix’ nitrogen into the soil, which is essential for plants to be able to grow. Without termites, and their enemies the ants, scientists believe we would lose two to three times as much nitrogen from the soil, which would make it very difficult for many plants to grow. They also move all the nutrients around in the soil, making it as rich as possible for plants to grow in. Scientists have spent many years studying soil to see if they can replicate it and they have realised that termites are a critical component in the manufacture of soil. A third way termites make our lives better is that they are an amazing source of future potential inventions. Possibly the most important is harnessing the microbes that live in their guts to make biofuel efficiently but there are also loads of other potential gains including new antibiotics, passive energy systems and swarm intelligence. In fact, the termite is one of the richest sources of possible future innovations. As they have been around for almost 300 million years they have developed a number of incredible abilities that if we can learn to mimic will truly enrich our society. While you may curse termites they do actually have a lot of good points so protect your home but thank them over all. Posted in termites

In a press release submitted by the Michigan Farm Bureau, the MFB is now asking members and supporters to tell legislators and the state agriculture department that we need their help telling Gov. Whitmer to clarify plant sales are essential agriculture! Act now by texting the phrase MIGREEN to the number 52886 or visiting https://bit.ly/ Unfortunately, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s EO 2020-42 announced Thursday not only extended the previous order, but actually expanded previous restrictions, explicitly prohibiting plant sales. Under a new section of the EO, Whitmer imposed additional restrictions, “Large stores must also close areas of the store that are dedicated to carpeting, flooring, furniture, garden centers, plant nurseries, or paint.” Michigan Farm Bureau (MFB) is stepping up its efforts, encouraging members and supporters to contact their state representatives, senators, and department of agriculture, urging them to tell Whitmer to issue a clarification to include the retail sale of plants as essential infrastructure, according to MFB President Carl Bednarski. “Gov. Whitmer’s insistence for continued and expanded restrictions on plant sales runs counter to similar EOs in countless other states, including Illinois, New York, North Carolina, and most recently, nearby Ohio where retail sales of plants are deemed essential agriculture,” Bednarski said. MFB is now asking members and supporters to tell legislators and the state agriculture department that greenhouse growers need their help in telling Gov. Whitmer to clarify plant sales are essential agriculture! Members and consumers can act now by texting the phrase MIGREEN to the number 52886 or visiting https://bit.ly/ Bednarski said the heightened restrictions within the new EO will devastate an important sector of Michigan agriculture that generates annual sales of $580 million to $700 million in retail sales, and employs more than 9,000 workers. “If these farms and garden centers miss their primary opportunity to sell nursery stock, flowers and vegetable plants to consumers who are requesting it, growers and their employees could face an entire year without income,” he said. The new focus toward the Michigan Legislature and the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) is expected to help build awareness of the industry’s concerns. MFB had launched a similar effort in the days leading up to Whitmer’s extended EO, which generated more than 26,000 messages from farmers and consumers. In nearby Ohio, which just extended a similar stay-at-home EO on April 2, Gov. Mike DeWine announced the new order specifically included a “Clarification that retail garden centers can remain open but should determine and enforce a reduced capacity to keep customers and employees safe.” Michigan Greenhouse Growers Council (MGGC) Executive Director Goeff Hansen said the industry is concerned about how the new EO will affect Michigan growers, currently the third-largest production greenhouse industry in the nation. “The governor’s EO has already had a devastating effect on the Easter plant sales and now there is concern that people will not be able to plant their gardens to be self-sufficient and take pressure off of the retail produce market,” he said. According to Hansen, MGGC members’ phones are “ringing off the hook” with people wanting to work in their vegetable gardens and getting ready for the growing season. MGGC has been advocating for curbside pickup and delivery options available to the garden centers through MDARD, which unfortunately appears to have fallen on deaf ears. According to Hansen, MGGC never received a response from MDARD Director Gary McDowell or anyone else within the Whitmer administration to a March 25, two-page letter formally requesting plant sales be allowed. MGGC had, at the request of McDowell, submitted the letter outlining specific procedures from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state and local health authorities that would be followed by growers and retail garden centers, if plant sales were allowed. “Many of the products carried by garden retailers are agricultural, like seeds and edible plants. Others are necessary tools and supplies,” MGGC wrote. “Together they are essential to maintaining a healthy living environment. In many communities, the garden retailer may be the only outlet where consumers have access to essential supplies for growing, gardening, maintaining or repairing their residences.” MGGC’s letter to McDowell also noted that New York, one of the hardest-hit state’s in the COVID-19 crisis, specifically spelled out that the care and sales of plants are essential, noting: “Horticultural Operations: For purposes of Executive Order 202.6/PAUSE Executive Order, “Essential Production, movement, maintenance, and sale of vegetable plants, nursery stock, trees, plants, and flowers at greenhouse and nursery operations. • Tree and shrub trimming and removal for disease, safety, and public health purposes. • The placement and ground maintenance of sod, landscaping plants, flowers, ornamentals, and trees on residential and commercial grounds. • Transportation necessary to meet any of the above functions. “Because of these considerations, the Michigan Greenhouse Growers Council urges the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development to consider garden retailers among those operations determined to be ‘essential’ retail outlets that can exercise the option to remain open to support their communities during these trying times,” MGGC wrote. If you’d like to take action, Michigan Farm Bureau is asking members and supporters to tell legislators and the state agriculture department that we need their help telling Gov. Whitmer to clarify plant sales are essential agriculture! Act now by texting the phrase MIGREEN to the number 52886 or visiting https://bit.ly/ Submitted by the Michigan Farm Bureau

Just a few years ago, the ground that now houses a thriving organic garden on the school’s campus was more of a curiosity than a passion for Jorge and scores of other students. He explains, “When I got to the school I saw this empty field, and then out of nowhere I saw how it was starting to be built up. I had Mrs. Galleher in another class, so I asked her and she told me about the garden class and explained it. At first I was just curious. Then I started learning and I fell in love with it.” When asked if what he’s learned in gardening class has changed the way he eats, Chula Vista High School senior Jorge Sanchez responds emphatically. “Totally!” he exclaims. “Every time I take a bite out of anything I start thinking, ‘how much sugar does this have?' or ‘where did this come from - from a tree or a bush or from a machine and it has a wrapper on it with nutrition facts?’ Good food doesn’t have nutrition facts on labels.” Jorge also explains that as a result of what he’s learned in class, he has cut sugary drinks like soda out of his diet, and is working to cut out sugar in general as much as possible. Mrs. Maria Galleher is a teacher at Chula Vista High School, who was honored as the school’s Teacher Of The Year in 2018, in no small part due to her efforts to build the garden and its associated classes. Maria Galleher, and the Chula Vista High School Garden Chula Vista High School teacher Maria Galleher (second from right) with students in the school garden. Most mornings, Maria Galleher and a couple dozen students can be found in the school garden. She gently calls out instructions to groups of students, though midway through the year most of them don’t need direction. Everyone has a job: some use shovels to turn the compost, some clean tools and buckets, some wash the day’s harvest, and others rake the soil. A wide variety of edible plants thrive in the organic garden, from kale and rainbow chard to green and red lettuce to an abundance of herbs. Jorge Sanchez, Chula Vista High School Senior With so many flourishing greens, it’s surprising to learn that the garden was a patch of mud and dirt a little more than two years ago. At first the dirt couldn’t keep anything alive, and it took a labor of love to turn it into the productive garden it is today. But Mrs. Galleher was not without help: every day her students worked the dirt, learning to turn it into healthy soil. She also enlisted help from outside organizations to donate supplies and provide science-based lessons in gardening. A $20,000 grant from CHIP, as part of the CDC-funded REACH Chula Vista initiative, got the garden started, and community support soon followed. The City of Chula Vista donated compost bins and recycling bins, Common Vision helped with a fruit tree orchard, and other groups have provided financial and volunteer resources each year. Jorge remembers an early lesson about soil and the relationship that develops between gardener and earth. “Mrs Galleher began teaching us that dirt is very different from soil, so we turned this place from dirt into soil and we started getting stuff from it. it’s like us giving to the earth and getting something back.” Mrs. Galleher uses the garden to teach her students about symbiotic relationships and organic pest control. “Everything is organic, which means there are no pesticides here,” she says. Planting companion species together, such as tomato and basil, reduces the need for pesticides. When pests do become a problem, natural solutions are introduced. Ladybugs control aphids, native birds gobble up tomato hornworms, and spiders eat up just about everything else. Students also lend a hand by washing aphids and whiteflies off leaves with water and a drop of peppermint soap and embark on worm gathering expeditions. It starts with Taste, then goes Deeper Companion planting helps the garden at Chula Vista High School thrive. Many students remember the first thing they tasted that they had grown themselves in the garden. For fellow senior Briana Lua, “It was tomatoes, because we had so many of them, and they were so sweet! I’d never eaten a tomato straight from the plant. It was weird for me, but it was so good. And now I’m always cooking with them. Briana explains that the lessons from the class go far beyond soil and how to tend a garden. “It’s really changed my mindset. Before I wouldn’t be outside in nature, and now [Mrs. Galleher] tells us to take deep breaths outside. Now I always have my window open or I’m hanging outside with my little nephew - we’re always playing outside instead of being inside and trapped.” In addition to her expanded appreciation of the outdoors, Briana has gained other insights from the class. “I’ve really learned mindfulness and to be more patient, and to know when I can’t change things. It’s not only about gardening, it’s about other stuff. I think it’s really life changing for everyone.” Briana Lua in the Chula Vista High School Garden Beyond the Classroom Both Briana and Jorge say that what they’ve learned in Mrs. Galleher’s class will be something they take with them throughout life. Briana has already started a sunflower garden at home. “They look so cute. Seeing that I could grow them, I got really inspired to do my own things at home. I even asked another teacher, Ms. Nash, about what I should do to keep my soil healthy. She gave me some fertilizer, and I bought my own shovel and my own pick. My dad’s like, ‘Why are you so in to it now?’ because that wasn’t me. And I told him and he thought it was really great - that I’m not just in the classroom but outside getting clean air during school, so he really liked it.” Students in the Chula Vista High School garden class tend to a raised planter growing cilantro and cabbage. Jorge explained that his grandmother has a garden at her home, and, “I bring my notebook from the class every time I go to her house, and I show her what I’ve learned. And in the future, I would like to have a space to make a garden and grow my own food. I’m so interested in it. And I’m going to teach my kids - and whoever I can, that we don’t need sugar - we just don’t.” This is only first step Even though the Chula Vista High School garden is flourishing, Mrs. Galleher says this is only the first step. Eventually she wants the garden to be able to supply a year-round fresh, and organic salad bar for the school cafeteria. Ideally, she’ll be able to supply fresh produce for more than just Chula Vista High School. Sweetwater Union HSD already purchases food from schools in the district, including eggs from a chicken farm at Sweetwater High School. Could Mrs. Galleher’s garden be the next student-run farm to supply the district with fresh food? There are plans in the works to expand the garden, transforming other areas of unproductive dirt into an orchard, a pollinator garden, and (fingers crossed) a chicken farm. If Mrs. Galleher and her students continue to see this level of success, all of Sweetwater Union HSD students might be enjoying a CVHS-grown salad bar. Chula Vista High School gardening students learn about growing their food.

By: Brad Priest, Designer at DG2 Design Landscape Architecture “What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson A “Wild Lawn” is exactly what it sounds like – a lawn that has been allowed to go…well, wild! It is a lawn that embraces bio-diversity and the natural processes of nature rather than fighting against them. Equally important, it is a lawn filled with aesthetic interest – textures, colors and seasonal evolution that could never be found in a traditional ‘pristine’ lawn. Last but not least, it is of course a lawn that provides one the perfect opportunity to discover the virtues of the villainized weed. The concept of a wild lawn should actually be considered more of a maintenance philosophy than a particular type of planting. More specifically, the maintenance philosophy behind wild lawns is to do very little maintenance at all. It is a choice to allow nature to take the wheel while you, the landowner, sit back with a tall glass of ice cold lemonade and enjoy the scenery. Aside from the benefit of the extra free time not spent laboring diligently, the choice of keeping a wild lawn has important benefits to the environment. Eliminating the unnecessary overuse of the earth’s precious natural resources (e.g. water and gasoline) as well as the man-made ecologically degrading chemicals so many millions dump onto their lawns and into the atmosphere and the waterways (e.g. fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, etc.) is critical to promoting healthy ecosystems not only locally but globally. Endless scientific studies have made obvious the importance of this last point. So what exactly does one do to start a wild lawn? The basic answer is nothing at all. Stop cutting the grass every weekend. Stop applying fertilizer every spring and fall. Stop watering every time the sun comes out. Keeping a wild lawn is making a choice to allow weeds to take over, and learning to appreciate a non-traditional lawn look. And what exactly does a wild lawn look like? The beauty of wild lawns lies in their ever-changing aesthetic. An established wild lawn contains a multi-colored, multi-textured mixture of weeds such as Dandelion, Clover, Plantain, Selfheal, and Wild Violet to name a few. Previously existing turf grass is less dominant, ceding space to the weeds, and as temperature and moisture levels fluctuate throughout the year so do the prominent species. The varying leaf textures, green hues and vibrant colored flowers all work in concert as nature sees fit. Moreover, the lawn is more active with life, as many types of beneficial insects and pollinators like bees and butterflies begin visiting to take advantage of the new habitat and food sources. While a wild lawn may not be for everyone, it is certainly worth consideration for those who find themselves bored with the typical traditional lawn, or those who find themselves weak and weary from the grind of constant maintenance. And for those not convinced of making the switch – take a walk outside and consider the virtues of your enemies, those pesky weeds…you may just find them friendlier than you thought!

If you like to garden you can grow your own edamame with ease. The plants are hardy and grow well in many gardening zones. This year we planted Schillinger Edamame in a 10 ft. row and yielded 15 quarts of steamed in-the-pod edamame. With a little weeding and watering to get the row started they did great. The plants can get the usual pests like japanese beetles but do pretty well with just mechanical removal of the bugs. Once harvested we washed the pods in a sink of cold water: Blanched them for 1 minute: Rinsed them in cold water: Placed in quart size Glad freezer bags to freeze for the winter. Planting Depth: 1" Plant 3" apart Row Spacing: 20-36" Once sprouted thin plants to 6" apart and provide nitrogen fertilizer if needed. Harvest in late summer when pods are 80-90% full and/or when leaves start to yellow. Follow instructions above to freeze or just steam and enjoy right away. I wish you enough!

He particularly visited the saline lands allocated for cultivating highly saline wheat and other crops by using agricultural wastewater. The experiment is being conducted on an area of 15 feddan which has previously suffered from a rise in the level of groundwater and an increase in the concentration of salts, which amounted to 7000 to 10,000 parts per million. Medium saline agricultural drainage water, which reaches 1339 parts per million is being used for agriculture in the saline land.

So moving up here is a lifestyle choice – which means that instead of going away for the bank holiday weekend we were desperately finishing the new pig pen and doing lots of gardening. But it was all great fun! Our 3 new Berkshire Weaners are happily installed in their huge pen. They are so tiny it is really easy to lose them in the pen/pig hutch, so I keep thinking they have escaped… only they haven’t, they are just tiny. After that it was back to more vegetable gardening. I have planted out all the squashes now (6 butternut and 1 blue banana), a couple of cabbages (Duncan) and the only 3 sweetcorn that made it. I think sweetcorn in the North will be a bit of a pipe dream from now on but we will see. The rest of the cabbage and about 5-6 cavelo nero need hardening off over the next week before they go in. I also caught a couple of beans which had germinated which I missed the first time and chucked them in where I could. The other big job was banking up the potatoes. Since we have clay soil here I’m trying a new technique of using grass clipping, they rot down over time so you have to bank them up more regularly but it is a million times easier than trying to hill up our soil. Josh worked hard on mowing the lawn so I’d have enough grass clippings for the job. So far so good. The win/lose tally is dipping into nature’s favour though: Lost 1/2 the last salad planting, 1/2 the purslane and the best looking courgette plant to the slugs. Pass the beer traps please. I’ve also had cat trouble – my lovely permaculture circle beds are purrfect litter trays. I’ll be bringing out the rubber snakes soon! In the meantime I lost a good chuck of carrot seedling. Maybe I’ll replace with a couple of radishes? We did get our first tiny pea pod of the year – very exciting!

Taking action to increase student access to healthy, locally-grown foods, Acting Governor Kim Guadagno today signed five bills at Terhune Orchards in Mercer County that support and streamline New Jersey’s “Farm to School” program. “Children who live in the Garden State should have ready access to the more than 100 varieties of produce grown by our state’s 9,000-plus farms,” said Acting Governor Kim Guadagno. “By signing these bipartisan bills, we are nurturing a program that puts more of these healthy, locally-grown foods directly into the hands of our kids while supporting New Jersey’s third-largest industry: agriculture.” The package of unanimously passed bills supporting the “Farm to School” program raise awareness of the program, create potential revenue streams for continued development and create a clearinghouse web portal to allow farmers to better connect with schools and food banks. The bills that were signed today include: · A-156 (Space, McHose, Andrzejczak, Riley/Barnes, Oroho) – Requires the Department of Agriculture to post on its website certain information regarding the state’s Farm to School program · A-2641 (Space, Andrzejczak, Dancer, Wilson/Barnes) – Provides for voluntary contributions on gross income tax returns to support Farm to School and School Gardens programs · A-2642 (Andrzejczak, Riley, Space, Dancer/Barnes, Oroho) – Allows contributions to the New Jersey Farm to School program · A-2643 (Space, Riley, Dancer, Wilson, Andrzejczak/Barnes, Oroho) – Establishes “Best in New Jersey ‘Farm to School’ Awards Program” to annually recognize the best Farm to School programs implemented by a school or school district · A-2644 (Dancer, Andrzejczak, Space, Wilson/Beach, Beck) – Directs the Department of Agriculture to establish a clearinghouse website for farmers to offer produce and dairy products for use by school breakfast programs, school lunch programs and food banks “I’m proud to sign these bills, which fuel a program that fuels our kids,” added Acting Governor Guadagno. More than 250 New Jersey schools participate in a “Farm to School” program, connecting school nutrition with local farms, improving the quality of school meals and strengthening relationships in the community. The program also helps children understand where their food comes from through the integration of food-related education into the curriculum and hands-on learning activities such as school gardening, farm visits and culinary classes. "The Farm Bureau has been a steadfast supporter of the Farm to School and recent School Gardens programs,” said Ryck Suydam, President of the New Jersey Farm Bureau. “We think they substantially improve the understanding of food nutrition among the student population and also provide the potential for an expansion of our great Jersey Fresh produce onto the menus of school lunches and other meals provided by school districts. It's a win-win for nutrition and local farmers. We applaud Acting Governor Guadagno for signing these bills." Following the bill signing, the Acting Governor toured Terhune Orchards, which provides produce to more than a dozen schools in the area, adding great local and fresh food choices to the cafeteria offerings. Since 1975, the Mount Family has owned and operated the Orchards. Terhune grows more than 35 crops on 200 acres, including about 30 varieties of apples, 28 varieties of peaches and 7 varieties of pears, and offers a “Pick-Your-Own” program for apples, berries, flowers and pumpkins. The farm is open to the public year-round and hosts seasonal festivals throughout the year. “We are so happy to welcome Acting Governor Guadagno to Terhune Orchards today,” said Pam Mount, owner of Terhune Orchards. “For the last forty years we have hosted educational tours and camps for school-aged children. Every year, more than 10,000 kids learn how to grow fruits and vegetables and how New Jersey farms work to provide them the healthy foods they eat.” In 2011, Governor Christie signed legislation to establish the last week of September as “Jersey Fresh Farm to School Week” in New Jersey to highlight and promote the value of New Jersey agriculture and fresh foods, as well as the value and importance of fresh farm foods for children, their health and success in school. Agriculture is New Jersey’s third largest industry. In 2012, the state’s 9,071 farms on 715,057 acres generated sales totaling $1.14 billion. The horticulture industry is one of New Jersey’s top agriculture commodities. The industry includes nursery, greenhouse, sod and Christmas trees and generated $444.8 million in sales in 2012. Acting Governor Guadagno was joined by, among others, Senator Steven V. Oroho (R-Morris, Sussex and Warren), Senator Shirley K. Turner (D-Hunterdon and Mercer), Assemblywoman Celeste Riley (D-Cumberland, Gloucester and Salem), Assemblywoman Donna Simon (R-Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex and Somerset), New Jersey Department of Agriculture Secretary Douglas Fisher and New Jersey Department of Education Acting Commissioner David Hespe.

ainfed Agriculture in India is characterized by marginal soils, undulating terrain, uncertainties of rains, poor access to credits and markets. According to Agricultural Census 2010-11, more than half (55%) of the country’s Gross Cropped Area (GCA) is rainfed which is also the poverty landscape of the country as 84 % of rural poor lives here. INDIA’S RAINFED AREAS AN UNTAPPED POTENTIAL 106 million hectares are rainfed in India Rainfed areas are significant in SCALE, PRODUCTION and LIVELIHOOD IMPACT Rainfed area, though it has been neglected in terms of PUBLIC INVESTMENT, contributes Having contributed significantly towards food grain production in the country, Rainfed Agriculture is more ecologically sustainable as it nurture diverse cropping system and integrated with livestock and fisheries, therefore, has potentiality to ensure food and nutritional securities among the vast extent of population in rural areas. The very design of agriculture policies and programs excludes much of the rainfed areas or where it is successful, extends the logic of intensive irrigation based systems to rainfed contexts Larger scale conversion of households in traditional rainfed areas from consumption of millets to rice/ wheat aided by public procurement and subsidized distribution of rice/ wheat through PDS - is a striking example of this anomaly. Inspite of obvious anamolies, substantial public investments promote intensive use of chemical fertilizers, hybrid seeds, pesticides and other inputs and price support system for paddy and wheat in rainfed areas. However, rainfed agriculture has been left out of mainstream agricultural development, as substantial public investments have gone into promoting irrigated agriculture with intensive use of chemical fertilizers, hybrid seeds, pesticides and other inputs and price support system for paddy and wheat. During 2003-04 to 2012-13, the government spent INR 540,000 crores on the procurement of rice and wheat while INR 3,200 crores was spent on the procurement of coarse cereals such as millets. Rainfed areas provide livelihood basis for millions of people and have geographically entrenched poverty. The natural resource base in these areas is fragile. Rainfed areas have varying and often low soil depths coupled with poor quality with undulations. Highly variable rainfall patterns and aquifers that may not sustain intensive exploitation are common feature of rainfed. They are also home to diverse extensive livestock systems well adapted to fluxes in fodder availability, numerous water bodies with varying seasonality of filling, diverse crop systems that integrate livestock systems and variability. Household consumption patterns are also diverse ranging from millets, pulses, meat so on and so forth.

The Farm Service Agency in Plummer has a new executive director. Chris Holt has been selected as the new executive director at the local FSA offices. Originally from Worley, Mr. Holt said that he is happy to be back in the area and on his family’s farm. “I grew up in the Worley area and went to high school there before it was consolidated,” Mr. Holt said. “My family farm is in the Worley-Fairfield area, and that was a big draw to come back as well.” Mr. Holt started at the Plummer office in December and has been working in the agency since 1989. He previously worked in Ritzville Washington. “I worked at the ASCS office at the beginning which that agency was the precursor to the FSA,” Mr. Holt said. “It was sort of my training spot.” Mr. Holt will be taking on the role of administrating USDA farm programs. He said some of the programs include the conservation reserve program, and production support programs that have historically supported growers who grow base commodities such as wheat and barley in the region. “There are a number of programs that Congress does to support growers in the region,” Mr. Holt said. “We also have a lot of more smaller and more targeted programs for growers in the area as well.” For more information contact the FSA offices at 208-987-4012.

In the picture above trainees are learning how to use Effective Microorganism in vegetable production. Since starting our organic Agricultural program about 15 years ago we have had over 6,000 farmers go through our trainings! That not only positively affects those farmers, and their families, but countless other farmers in the same village that, in turn, learn from them. These trainings include: Farmer Cooperative formation, organic pesticide preparation, raising domestic earthworms for compositing, bee keeping, produce preservation, growing mushrooms, spice crop production, as well as organic vegetable production. The Agricultural department also publishes an educational agriculture magazine that is distributed for free to the farmers. Please pray for these farmers as they strive to make a better living

Remember our lesson on Ancient Egypt-river valley civilization from the magnificent pyramids to the awesome mummification of the Egyptians kings? Intrigued by the extensive history of this great civilization and its rich culture, our group decided to dive deeper into the heart of the Egyptian culture - more specifically - the River Nile. The agriculture of Ancient Egypt was indebted to the River Nile. With its seasonal flooding and fertile soil, it allowed the Ancient Egyptians to build a river valley civilisation based on its abundant agricultural wealth. Due to the occurrence of frequent flooding, the river eventually became an increasingly essential natural source, to which the Ancient Egyptians took advantage of. Building a civilisation from scratch, they utilized a series of tools, engaged the use of animals, and developed systems of irrigation. In order to facilitate the agriculture process, like ploughing and seeding, agricultural tools such as the hoe were invented. As seen from the picture above, the hoe consisted of a wooden handle not much longer than the lower arm. Another wooden blade was connected to it, but could not be set immovably, unlike the ones we are accustomed to nowadays. With the invention of hoes, ancient Egyptians were able to shape the soil to enable irrigation (as we will touch on later), control weeds and ultimately harvest root crops. Beside static and inanimate tools, living animals were also used for agricultural purposes to reduce manual labour and effort. Some examples would be donkeys and oxen, which were responsible for plowing the fields and trampling seed into the soil as shown below. TYPES AND USES OF CROPS Barley and grapes are some of the main types of crops the ancient Egyptians consumed. Another interesting fact is that Egyptians use the agricultural food they harvest to ferment alcohol! The illustration below comes from an image engraved on the tombs of Egyptians, depicting scenes of the ancient Egyptian brewery and the process of alcohol production. Just like in present day, the ancient Egyptians also used alcohol in their celebrations - they even have a Festival of Drunkedness - a festival in reverence and fear to the Egyptian lion goddess, Hathor. In these festivals, they would excessively binge on alcohol till they pass out in their rituals to their deities; what started out as a festival for Hathor eventually spilled over into a festival for the ancient Egyptians to ask for well-being and protection. What made these rituals so widespread was that anyone could engage in them anywhere - be in in temples, to homes, and even in shrines out in the desert! They also did not need any religious priests or leader to intercede with the gods on behalf of them, and they could directly address their needs that way. However, these festivals would usually be frowned upon by many in society, possibly because of the lack of control these followers went into after overdosing, and that chaos would ensue shortly. Did we also mention that sex was rampant during these celebrations? In order to fully utilised the River nile and increase agricultural yield, basin irrigation was created by the Ancient Egyptians. Basin irrigation consisted of a system of dikes to retain the flood and encourage infiltration in the soil. Canals help led the water to areas that were impossible to inundate and was contained for more than a month. Its surplus is further drained to a lower level, returned to canals and emptied into the Nile. In conclusion, the River Nile played a major role in contributing to the success of ancient Egypt. Its geographical location and characteristics brought about great agricultural wealth, which in turn set the foundation of which an empire was built upon. However, none of these would have been possible if the Egyptians failed to innovate and appropriately utilise their natural resources, so kudos to them and their wisdom! :D Further Readings: Ancient Egypt's Agriculture - https://hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/pdfs/actahort582-2002.pdf Produced by: James Chia Kenneth Chan Ainsley Chew

- The losing liar needs to cry more! - Visible damage are dying trees! - Deconstructing Lies! - Ruthless criminals turn the facts upside down! 1. The losing liar needs to cry more! The dealer with the oldest tomatoes is the loudest on the market place! Why is the Geoengineering Mafia so stressing on the RISE of CO2 level. Why should it be important talk about slight share variation of a trace gas, with only 0.037% in the atmosphere. Obviously the Geoengineering Mafia is struggling to distract from its crime. It is trying to mind-control by fake-science and NLP, just to hide the theft of tropospheric water, sunlight, air & soil. Disclosing their method and exposing their scam is not so difficult. Their main tool of Geoengineering Lobby is the steady repetition of the propaganda lies by their presstitutes, maulhuren & scientiputas! Whatever they do, lies cannot replace the truth! - water in the soil, - CO2 in the air and The blocking of sunlight for Tropospheric Solar Radiation & Water Management reduces the photosynthesis activity of plants, which results in the increase of CO2 level and means the decrease of O2 level. As soon as the criminals are stopped polluting our sky the CO2 and fine dust level will sink to natural levels! The sky will become blue, the clouds white and the air and water fresh and healthy and the weather natural again. |Photo by Daria Volkova on Unsplash| 2. Visible damage are dying trees! If we are equipped with the background knowledge about Climate Geoengineering, the Scientiputas who write their propaganda "studies" for the Geoengineering Mafia, brazenly admit and threaten to kill plants, represented here by the dying conifers! Scientists say climate change could cause a ‘massive’ tree die-off in the U.S. Southwest Less visible is the diseases on flora and fauna, caused by missing sunlight ! Our skin cannot produce VitaminD under these polluted skies, by SRM dust. Facts about CO2! 24-Hour CO2 Concentration "In the summer months, the CO2 typically decreases during sunny, warm days as photosynthesis removes CO2 from the air. At night, the CO2 increases because the plants are giving off CO2 in respiration. It can take until late morning before CO2 removal by photosynthesis becomes apparent. Local CO2 levels also change with wind direction." Frequently asked questions about CO2! THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT HAS NEVER EXISTED AND WILL NEVER EXIST! IT IS A LIE! Let us learn more about real greenhouses! Carbon Dioxide In Greenhouses "The benefits of carbon dioxide supplementation on plant growth and production within the greenhouse environment have been well understood for many years." "For the majority of greenhouse crops, net photosynthesis increases as CO2 levels increase from 340–1,000 ppm (parts per million). Most crops show that for any given level of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), increasing the CO2level to 1,000 ppm will increase the photosynthesis by about 50% over ambient CO2 levels. For some crops the economics may not warrant supplementing to 1,000 ppm CO2 at low light levels." More about CO2 as nutrient! Altered night-time CO2 concentration affects the growth, physiology and biochemistry of soybean Carbonic Acid Gas to Fertilize the Air 3. Deconstructing Lies! Following paper is really worth reading, as it deconstructs all propaganda of Geoengineering Mafia about CO2 within a single page. Day-Night Temperatures and CO2 Enrichment "Carbon Dioxide is an odorless gas which makes up about 300 ppm of our atmosphere, yet dried plant material contains an average of 40% carbon which comes entirely from CO2. Therefore we need to consider CO2 to be a major plant nutrient, one that affects growth rate, yield and one that needs to be supplied in adequate quantities if crop growth is going to be maximized." "The main plant process a grower needs to consider is 'photosynthesis' as this is what drives growth, development and production. Photosynthesis is a reaction with occurs within the leaf tissue and requires light of the correct wavelength, water and carbon dioxide to produce assimilates (sugars) which are used for growth and development. As a by-product oxygen is released into the environment. When artificial lights are used to grow plants, the aim is to provide just the right intensity and wavelengths for optimal photosynthesis." Does the Geoengineering Mafia want to kill all plants by propagating "decarbonization" of the air? Are its priests crazy genocidal killers or are they just idiots? "Hydroponic plants also usually have more than sufficient water and nutrients, so the limiting factor in the process of photosynthesis in an enclosed environment, then becomes the availability of carbon dioxide (CO2). In a well sealed growing environment situation, CO2, under good lighting, begins to limit photosynthesis very rapidly. Since ambient CO2 levels in the air are around 360 ppm, which is relatively low, this can be used up by even a small population of actively photosynthesizing plants within a couple of hours. In fact CO2 can drop away to only a few ppm in well sealed growing environment and when this happens, if the CO2 is not replaced, photosynthesis and plant growth stops." Plants under direct sunlight use the blue waves, the ones under half shade the red waves of light for photosynthesis. The fine dust and the resulting aerosol clouds used for SRM are reducing the share of blue rays dramatically and that kills the trees. "Why does photosynthesis also work in red light? To do this, one must not only look at the spectral composition of sunlight, where the blue component clearly predominates, but also has to examine how the light is composed in the shade, in which many plants have to live. And here it turns out that shadow light contains a fairly high proportion of red. Plants with chlorophyll, which absorbs blue AND red and chemically utilizes it, have a clear survival advantage over plants whose chlorophyll only absorbs blue light. They can conduct photosynthesis both in the sun and in the shade. For this reason, over the course of millions of years, such plants have prevailed over plants without red absorption." Following article tries to distract from the crime of Geoengineering SRM, by brazenly blaming it on man made CO2! The Beetles: Eighty-Nine Million Acres of Abrupt Climate Change Is Tropsopheric Solar Radiation and Water Management for Nuclear Fracturing of Oil and Gas and Industrial Desert Farming worth that damage on the nature and the people?

Our vision is to produce world class products, based on sustainable agricultural practices, for the benefit of all its stakeholders. At Kleine Haaskraal we are passionate about our land, our people, our brand and our clients. The Pienaar family bought the farm Kleine Haaskraal on 21 July 2012. We are descendants of the first Pinard (Pienaar), that arrived in the Cape in 1683, as part of the French Huguenots. Jacques Pinard was given a farm next to the Berg river, in the Drakenstein Region, in August 1694, by the Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, Simon Van Der Stel. Although it is not the same farm, it is very meaningful to us as a family that, without planning it, 318 years later, we went back to our roots and bought a farm in the same region, also next to the Berg river. WHAT IS IN THE NAME? The heritage of our family and the farm is rooted in the history of the Cape and the Boland . We believe that a small part of the farm and the people involved in the farm is bottled in every product that leaves the farm. The name is part of this history which originates from the fact that the first owners that gave the farm a name, saw a lot of “ hase” (Afrikaans for hare) on the farm and therefor called it Haaskraal (hare bead). However, they confused hare with hyrax (“dassies” in Afrikaans) a small thickset herbivorous mammal, well-furred, with a short tail. Since this farm has been sub-devided from the original larger farm, we called it Kleine , meaning smaller, Haaskraal. This incorrect identification of the hyrax has taught us a valuable lesson: Do not jump to conclusions or apply unrelated past experiences to the farm. Rather appreciate the uniqueness of the farm and what it has to offer. The farm was in a serious state of neglect. However, truthfully, we would not have been able to afford the farm, if it was not in this condition. We started off with the building of a small farm house with a wine cellar and separate guest suite. Over the years, we have added further improvements and completed the farm warehouse in 2019. All infrastructure, such as the water pump and irrigation network had to be newly installed.

The drought sweeping swathes of South America’s prime farmland is really starting to bite in Argentina now as farmers count the cost of irrevocably lost crops. Farmers themselves are looking at losses of $2.5bn – or $94 per hectare for soya and $167 per hectare for corn, according to this report in La Nación newspaper. El Cronista Comercial business paper reckons losses in export revenue for Argentina, one of the world’s major farm export nations, could be as much as $6bn. Argentina typically sows a late corn and soya crop, but prospects for so-called “second corn” have been ruined by the lack of rain and “what there is now is all there will be,” Gastón Fernández Palma, president of the Argentine No-Till Farmers’ Association, told beyondbrics. Argentina maximised yields and slashed costs by the “no-till” method, in which crops are sown on top of the stumps of earlier ones, such as wheat. But with much of the prime producing zone in the northwest of the province of Buenos Aires, south of Santa Fé and southeast Córdoba still parched and gasping for rain, “we’re getting right to the limit (for sowing)” Fernández Palma said of “second soya”. Mind you, he said “some farmers will still sow out of desperation”. Farmers still have 1m hectares of second soya to sow, but “the longer they wait, the lower the yields will be,” echoed Armando Casalins, a technical advisor at the Grains Storage Federation. He reckoned Argentina’s corn harvest will now be 21m tonnes “and falling”, down from an estimated 28m, while soya production will be 3m to 4m tonnes lower than expected. Even the USDA’s latest soya estimate, 50.5m tonnes, may be hard to reach, farmers say. “February is critical – it’s the month when the yields are defined in Argentina,” said one executive at a major multinational agricultural grains and oil producer, who asked not to be named. Though rains last week were patchy and mostly disappointing, good rainfall from now on could still salvage some production. “We started the year expecting 52m to 53m tonnes of soya and now, if the rains are good, we could see production of 49m. But no more,” he said. Paraguay is also looking at production of 5m tonnes, down from 7.5m; Brazil less than 70m, compared with 72m to 73m, and Uruguay some 300,000 tonnes less than its expected 2m, he added. Drought is just the latest headache big producers are facing in one of the world’s top producers of agricultural commodities. Some large producers have come under the spotlight of Argentine tax investigators and many are reticent about speaking publicly, particularly since the Argentine government regularly restricts some farm exports. In short, there is a fear that too much emphasis on the dreadful effects of the drought could encourage the government to cut back on planned corn exports with the excuse of waiting to see how much corn will be produced in order to ensure the domestic market does not go short. Soya producers have less to worry about on that score – soya for domestic consumption, aside from biofuels, is minimal. The cash crop is taxed at a rate of 32 per cent on exports of soya oil and 35 per cent for soya beans – and it is the latter which will suffer the most from the fall in production, the multinational executive said. “Argentina is very uncompetitive with China (in soya beans themselves),” he said.Despite what he called “horrible, awful” margins on crushing for oil, the proliferation of biodiesel plants like this one means that all investors in the biodiesel sectors are desperate to recover their investment costs, so crushing will predominate. As a result, he said Argentina’s exports of soya bens are expected to fall to around 5m tonnes this season, from 10.3m tonnes in 2010-11. China, meanwhile, is buying beans to crush to produce its own oil, and though China used to be Argentina’s biggest soya oil market, “they’re not buying now,” said the executive, adding India had replaced it as the top soya oil export destination.

Coffee That Makes a Difference: illy's Sustainably Grown Coffee illy is committed to bringing coffee lovers around the world a cup of coffee that not only tastes good but does good. As a company founded on ethical values, sustainability is part of illy’s DNA. For us, coffee is only good when it’s good for everyone. What is Sustainable Coffee? When we talk about sustainable coffee, there is much more to it than coffee that is grown in a way that conserves the ecosystem. illy adopts the definition of sustainable development provided by the Brundtland Report: ‘Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.’ In this definition, the grower or the supply chain must meet various combinations of environmental, social and economic standards to be considered sustainable coffee. In other words, the wellbeing and livelihoods of farmers and those in the entire supply chain must also be considered and benefited. Sustainable Practices in Coffee Farming Sustainable farming practices entail techniques and practices that reduce environmental impact by leveraging the use of technologies and scientific research. These practices may include improved crop management, environmentally compatible farming practices, water consumption reduction, use of synthetic pheromones over pesticides and reforestation. As an example, coffee producers in Nicaragua and Honduras were able to implement a new wastewater treatment system that allows them to reduce water consumption by 35% with the support of illy. In Brazil, we promote the protection of biodiversity and environmental education with the “Viveiro de Atitude” program, where we built a nursery that houses over 100 plant species native to the Cerrado region. From 2013 to 2019, illy has helped reforest 70 hectares of land in Colombia and installed 76 wastewater treatment systems. Green Coffee Processing Once coffee cherries are harvested, there are two methods of producing green coffee. With the dry processing method, coffee is dried in the sun until the required humidity level of 9%-11% is reached. On the other hand, with the wet processing method, coffee cherries and large amounts of water are fed into depulping machinery where the seeds (the future coffee beans) are released. However, after wet processing, the seeds are still encased in mucilage and parchment, calling for an additional process to remove the slimy mucilage. This is where the semi-washed processing comes in. With the process lying somewhere between the wet and dry methods, semi-wash processing improves the processing method and reduces water waste. More Than Just the Environment illy’s pursuit of total quality led us to look beyond the coffee farms to include the livelihoods of people who produce and process it. Through knowledge-sharing, rewards and quality incentives, we encourage coffee farmers we work with to join us on the journey to delivering the best quality coffee the world has to offer to our consumers. L’Università del caffè was set up to encourage the transfer of the knowledge and experience illy has obtained in scientific research over the past decades. We are committed to nurturing the best agricultural practices in order to facilitate the production of the best quality coffee. Coffee growers are paid above-market rates as an incentive to supply better coffee. Introduced in 2016, the Ernesto Illy International Coffee Award was established to recognise and reward coffee farmers who produce the highest-quality beans among those in the illy blend whilst adhering in full to our principles of sustainable quality. Over time, the award has become one of the most important awards for coffee quality, celebrating the best sustainable coffee in the world. Each year, the illycaffè quality control laboratory in Trieste identifies the best three batches from the most sustainable crops in the nine countries where illy sources its green coffee beans. Through a series of blind tasting sessions by a jury of international experts, the 27 finalists are narrowed down to the single best batch from each country, and ultimately a winner emerges. These 9 finest coffees are then celebrated by and shared with coffee lovers at illy Caffès. The Pursuit of Total Quality illy manages its entire coffee supply chain with an eye to sustainability, encompassing the entire supply chain, starting with the people who grow our coffee. So next time you take a sip of our illy blend, you know it’s a cup of coffee that made a difference.

With our Innovation Center at our headquarter in Münster, we develop innovative and environmentally friendly fertilizers that support our customers in future climate challenges and environmental changes. Being a manufacturer with R&D capabilities enables us to customize products and bring them to market rapidly. With all our fertilizers, our focus is to develop highly efficient and environmentally friendly products based on natural ingredients. Reducing nutrient loss Using efficiency enhanced fertilizers greatly reduces the environmental impact because the nutrients are slowly released in a specific time-pattern matching the exact crop needs. As a result, plants are able to uptake all released nutrients and any leaching or volatilization of minerals into the environment is practically avoided. Given the fact that on average up to 75% of the minerals can be lost during traditional fertilization, both the economical and ecological impacts of EEF on plant nutrition are obvious.

Despite many programmes launched to increase the food grains production, the remote mountainous districts heavily rely on foodstuffs imported from other districts and face food shortage every year. A total of 2.35 million people of the districts would be benefited by the Agriculture and Food Security Programme.

There’s a reason why Idaho is known for its potato crop but with its significant size, many people wonder, where Idaho potatoes are grown? The majority of Idaho’s potatoes are grown on the south-eastern side of the state. The favorable conditions in this area of the state make it ideal for growing a large crop of potatoes. There may be other parts of the state that also grow potatoes but they may not produce the same yield. Why the South-Eastern Side? There are three reasons why the majority of potatoes in Idaho are grown in the south-eastern area of the state: climate, water, and soil. The climate on the eastern side is at an elevation of about 5000′. This is a high altitude and allows the temperatures to reach up to the 80s during the day while evenings are much cooler around 40 degrees. This large temperature variation is great for growing potatoes. The water availability in the area is also ideal. The potato-growing region in Eastern Idaho is located at the base of the Teton Mountains. These mountains will collect snow which gathers during the winter months. During the spring, the runoff fills reservoirs and fills the underground aquafer. This water is then used for potato irrigation throughout the season. Finally, the soil makes for good conditions as well. The Snake River Plain in Idaho was once covered in volcanic dust a few thousand years ago. This dust created a light soil that’s perfect for potatoes. Instead of hard, compact soil, the potatoes can expand and reach farther. The ash also contributed to the nutrient levels in the soil, contributing to optimal growth. Potatoes Grown in Idaho Idaho grows four main types of potato and each has its own characteristics and flavor profile. The four main types that are grown here include russet, red, fingerling, and gold. 1. Russet Potatoes Russet potatoes refer to two types of potatoes: Burbank and Norkotah. These are potatoes that have relatively thin and lighter-brown skin. They tend to be oval and flattened in shape. The inside of the potato is dense and it has a distinctive earthy potato flavor. The starch flavor is high. These varieties of potatoes are preferred for baking and frying. They will cook up dry and fluffy or crisp up to turn a golden brown. They’re often used for mashed potatoes as well and are great both fresh and frozen. 2. Red Potatoes Red potatoes refer to California Red, Red La Soda, and Norland. Regardless of the specific type though, all three varieties can be distinguished by their red skin. They tend to be round or slightly oval-shaped and have a slightly waxy texture. They’re used for baking and boiling but rarely fried. They tend to be optimal in dishes such as potato salads and retain their shape better than other varieties. They have a high taste-test ranking and are best used fresh and not frozen. Fingerling potatoes come in three main varieties: Russian Banana, French fingerling, and Purple Peruvian. The three colors of these potatoes are yellow, red, and purple. They tend to be very small as their name suggests. Their flavor profile varies slightly from potato to potato but they tend to have a buttery or nutty flavor. These potatoes are best enjoyed fresh and not frozen. 4. Gold Potatoes The two types of gold potatoes grown in Idaho are the Yukon gold and the Yukon gem. They are relatively light-yellow skinned potatoes with a moist, flesh interior. They have a buttery flavor and are one of the most versatile of the potato varieties. They can be enjoyed fresh, frozen, dehydrated, and are also known for being good in chips. Yukon gold potatoes can be used in almost any potato recipe and with good results. - Top 7 Things That Idaho Is Known & Famous For - The Ultimate Guide to Lake Coeur d’Alene: Everything You Need to Know - Fun in Sandpoint, Idaho: Activities for every season in our area! What is so special about Idaho potatoes? Idaho potatoes are a type of potato that is grown in the state of Idaho in the United States. Idaho potatoes are known for their Idaho-grown, russet-skinned potatoes. They are starchy, high-density potatoes and have a medium to high glycemic index. Idaho potatoes are predominately used for baking and frying. When fried, they result in a light and fluffy french fry. Baked Idaho potatoes have golden crispy skin on the outside with a moist and fluffy inside. Some say that the Idaho potato is the perfect all-purpose potato due to its versatility in recipes. Whether you are baking, boiling, mashing, roasting, or even grilling, Idaho potatoes are the perfect fit. So what makes Idaho potatoes so Frequently Asked Questions While most of Idaho is well known for its potatoes, that is by no means what Northern Idaho is known for. North Idaho is well known for lakes, mountains, and scenic views. However, the colder climate, shorter growing season, and more mountainous terrain are not well suited for the mass growing of potatoes. That would be Bingham County, where potato farming is a major industry. While potatoes are not the only crop grown in Bingham County, they are a major part of the local economy. So next time you’re enjoying some Idaho fries, be sure to thank the farmers of Bingham County for their hard work. Enjoying Idaho Potatoes While not all of Idaho is going to grow potatoes, the location where they grow then ensures that they end up with high-quality products which is then shipped around the world. Idaho farmers also have generations of experience and knowledge growing this root vegetable. They also dedicate research into potato growth and development so understanding how to optimize this crop is an ongoing process.

When you are serious about sustainability, farming becomes a primary focus. We are in countries like China, training farmers to use fewer chemicals, and in Costa Rica, where our agronomists work with – and we buy directly from – small- and mid-size farmers. And we are also in big cities in the U.S., supporting urban farms that are growing healthy, affordable food in sustainable ways. Growing Power is an inspiring example. Founder Will Allen – a former professional basketball player and MacArthur “genius” grant recipient – actually built the Chicago Lights Urban Farm on top of an old basketball court. Today, Growing Power is a national nonprofit that is training others around the country and the world in sustainable farming techniques that can be used in urban and rural areas: no synthetic chemicals, controlling pests with foliar compost tea and growing produce at or above organic standards. Will is passionate about healthy food and opportunity, and he has written a “good food” manifesto. Walmart has been working with Growing Power since 2010. Organic waste from 10 of our stores is trucked to one of Growing Power’s Milwaukee sites where it joins more than 40 million pounds of organic waste to be converted into rich compost. At the urban farms in Milwaukee and Chicago, worms enhance the compost into a nutrient-rich soil conditioner that Growing Power then sells to gardeners or uses in its own production and community gardens. But Walmart is sending more than just food waste to Growing Power. For the past couple of years, Southeastern Wisconsin Walmart stores have recruited countless groups of Walmart employees to volunteer at the Growing Power Community Food Center in Milwaukee. These volunteer groups have helped Growing Power accomplish large group projects and have also provided a small cushion of funding through Walmart’s Volunteerism Always Pays program. In September, we took the next step with Growing Power: the Walmart Foundation gave the nonprofit $1,010,000 to expand its outreach. Sixteen communities around the country are being trained in Growing Power’s techniques, and by the end of the grant period, four more will have joined. Communities like the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans are becoming Growing Power Regional Training Centers, at-risk youth are being empowered, and area residents will have fresh, affordable, sustainable produce. When we started this blog, I committed to a conversation with you, so it is important to note here that Walmart’s contribution to Growing Power triggered controversy and criticism of this very worthy nonprofit. How could Growing Power accept funding from a big corporation? Walmart’s critics wanted answers, and Will Allen responded on the Growing Power blog by saying: “We, as a society, can no longer refuse to invite big corporations to the table of the Good Food Revolution. Poverty, foodlessness, joblessness: these are problems we all face. They are not only the problems of the poor or of the urban – they are everyone’s problems. Walmart is the world’s largest distributor of food – there is no one better positioned to bring high-quality, locally grown food into urban food deserts and fast-food swamps.” Growing Power is working with several stores to stock locally grown food from the organization’s various production sites, including products from their Rainbow Farmers Cooperative, which supports small and family farmers in the Midwest. Environmental journalist Christopher Weber wrote, “It remains to be seen whether Walmart will be a good partner for the Good Food Revolution.” I’ll be direct and say: we will be a good partner. We are committed to sustainability. It is the right thing to do, and it makes good business sense. We intend to lead the way, and we celebrate every time another company discovers this, too. Later this week, you will hear directly from the New Orleans program I mentioned that is being trained through Growing Power. It is called Our School at Blair Grocery and is located in an area that was devastated by the floodwaters following Hurricane Katrina. Stay tuned!

Renmark is Australia's oldest irrigation town‚ settled in 1887 and pioneered by the Canadian Chaffey brothers who reached an agreement with the government for a grant of land on which to test their innovative irrigation scheme. The scheme proved very successful and to this day the town and district flourish using water pumped from the River Murray to irrigate the vineyards‚ orchards and other crops that line the river here. The Renmark Paringa Visitor Information Centre is a very good place to start when visiting town. Be sure also to see the fully restored 1911 paddlesteamer PS Industry‚ moored close to the centre.

Peace Lily is a beautiful indoor plant that is commonly found in homes, offices, and gardens. Although Peace Lily grows extremely well in low light conditions, some plants will do better in a more indirect light. Peace Lily likes direct sunlight, so placing your plant into direct sunlight is the best place to grow this type of flower. It will flower better if you can put it in a shaded area such as a patio or large window, but never in the direct sunlight of a porch or street. Peace Lily prefers indirect light but does not like direct sunlight, so placing your plant in direct sun is not advisable either. Do not put your plant into direct sunlight until it has bloomed one full year, as direct sunlight will stunt growth. If you must place your plant in direct sunlight, try to keep it in a shaded area and only put it on its preferred spot for a few hours during the day. Watering your Peace Lily is very easy as long as you follow the guidelines listed below. If you are not sure how much water to give your plant, test out how much water it needs in a small and dark area before putting the plant into the water. Remember to always water your plant thoroughly after the initial wetting off period, as excess water can cause root rot. When watering your Peace Lily, only water your plant for short periods, and make sure to avoid spraying the leaves. Spray your plant to avoid over-watering, and let the water drain naturally after every few watering. You may also want to consider using a plant fountain to give your plant a bit of extra nutrition. Peace Lily likes indirect light better than direct sunlight, so try to place your plant in a shaded area during the day or in the kitchen when the sun is shining on it. The Peace Lily prefers well drained soil, but it will do well in most any medium, with the exception of extremely clay-based soils. It is important to keep your plant healthy, and remove any brown or yellow leaves on the plant as soon as they appear. If left with bare leaves, the plant will also be unable to filter out waste products properly, so it will develop an unappealing and unhealthy appearance. Peace Lilies should be divided, preferably in the summer, because their roots can become tangled. Make sure that you separate each plant from its own container. If you wish to have the plants grow in your yard, be sure to prune them frequently in order to keep them healthy. You can pinch back any dead leaves that may have occurred to the plants, but don’t cut down any of the plants. Pruning your Peace Lily will help them grow more slowly and without many problems.

All around the area we stay in here in Umbria, you can see and hear the olive harvest going on. For the last two weeks or so, it's gotten busy. We watch trailers full of olives go by, on the way to the mill...we watch folks picking by hand or machine...young and old. It's fascinating! Here at The Nut, we had a long, hard day of picking ourselves. Fifteen trees in about seven hours. Carlo our landlord, Johnny and I worked our fannies off! There were moments when I wanted to call it a day and quit, but we just pushed on until sunset. First, you have to drag these massive nets and arrange them under the trees to catch all the olives... |Me on one end, Carlo on the other...| Once the nets are laid, we started picking. Johnny and Carlo took turns with the electric 'shaking machine'....I just picked by hand or with rastrello, the small stiff hand rake you comb through the branches. It was a lot of hard work, with some frustrating moments, but tons of fun, too. |Carlo with the shaking machine.| |Johnny with the rastrello. See all the olives in the net?| |Johnny taking his turn with the shaking machine.| I tried, but quickly realized it would not be good for my neck or shoulders! |Go, Johnny, GO!| |Watching the guys work from the terrace after lunch.| Then back to it for me, too. |In the end, we had ten or eleven crates full.| A couple of days later, we met Carlo at the local mill to watch the olives get mashed and turned into oil. I'm so glad we saw this part of the process! We were in line to have ours done at about eight o'clock at night. It's a busy time at the mill, and they run very late, trying to get everyone's oil done asap. |The mashing machine. It spins around, squishing the olives into a paste.| Then the paste is run through a machine that gets all the excess water out. Centrifuge, I am told. |Next, we watched as our oil slowly came out!| |Carlo was so happy to fill his beautiful container!| |It smelled so good in there!| |Pure 'Green Gold"!| |It was a pretty good haul, I think.| |2018 oil tucked away to be enjoyed for the next year.|

Loading soya beans in Brazil – practical guidance Our local correspondent Representacoes Proinde Ltda. has published a comprehensive guide on the soya bean trade in Brazil and we recommend it as a useful source of reference and practical information. The soya bean is the world’s most consumed oilseed and the most cultivated and profitable crop in Brazil, says Proinde on its website. The correspondent further explains that expansion of harvested areas and use of advanced technology to improve productivity have resulted in an almost two-fold increase in Brazil’s soya bean export over the last decade. Because of the ongoing US-China trade war, Brazil has also regained its position as the world’s largest producer and exporter of soya beans. Proinde’s comprehensive guide “Loading soya beans in Brazil” of November 2020 looks at the bean’s importance to the country today and in an historical perspective, describes the country’s domestic transport and port systems, explains how the national soya bean quality and grading standards work, and discusses risks associated with its stowage, loading and seaborne carriage. We believe Members and clients will find this guide both an interesting read and a useful source of reference. For additional information and loss prevention advice, see our insights “An expert’s view on the carriage of soya bean cargoes from Brazil to China“ and “Heat damage in soya bean cargoes - the importance of inspections”. - When working aloft – focus on your tasks but also on your safety - What is the cause of most bunker spills? - Having an abandon ship drill anytime soon?

Day 9 has been all about the plants, with a few construction bits to finish off too. Since our plants were kept overnight with us at the campsite, the first order of the day was renting a transit and ferrying them to site, which ended up taking nearly all day in 5 different trips! Ah well, they are on site now and happily awaiting their setting out tomorrow. We finalized the Carpinus hedge planting most of today as well. They took a fair amount of jiggery pokery to get level and lined up. With the geometry of the layout, they too had to be lined up along both the length of the garden, as well as the width. They’ve now created a brilliant, but subtle, frame to the garden. The breaks in the length of the hedge are offering lovely vistas across the garden, punctuating the geometry and softening the edges. The first section of wildflower turf was also laid today, and it looks fantastic!! We had the wildflower turf grown at Lindum turf in Yorkshire, and I couldn’t be happier. Some have said it’s the best they’ve ever seen! For a truly instant garden, I’d say this is the way to go. The way the wildflowers nestle around the apple tree is exactly the image I was trying to create. It transforms the garden into a very inviting and enticing space, and once the benches are brought in amongst the turf, the garden will transform into a space to spend time in, not just a space to view (though the view so far is spectacular!).

We show you our most important and recent visitors news details Minister of Culture: Saudi coffee agreement an economic window for an original local product in the following article Hind Al Soulia - Riyadh - Okaz/Saudi Gazette RIYADH — Minister of Culture Prince Badr Bin Abdullah Bin Farhan said that the signing of agreements between Saudi investors and owners of coffee farms has opened a new economic window for one of the Kingdom’s original national products. The minister made the remarks on the occasion of signing of the agreements in the framework of cooperation between the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture and the Saudi Center for Economic Business. A ceremony was held for signing agreements between investors from national companies and owners of Saudi coffee farms to enhance cooperation between them in well-known local coffee cultivating regions, including the famous Khawlani coffee farms. Cultivation of Khawlani coffee beans is considered as a highly respected vocation that gives cultural identity and status to the entire southern region of Jazan. The agreements aim to strengthen cooperation between Saudi companies and coffee farmers under which companies would purchase coffee crops to ensure the sustainability of production with a focus on improving productivity and adherence to quality specifications in accordance with international standards. The agreements also underscore the need to give special emphasis to at least three brands bearing the historical legacy of more than 300 years in coffee cultivation in the Kingdom, in addition to improving agricultural practices, developing standards for model farms, and linking them to the logistical supply chain. The agreements also aim to enhance the competency of coffee beans in the local and international markets so as to contribute to the growth of the Kingdom’s agricultural wealth, and raising the local production rate, in addition to linking producers, coffee farmers and investors on e-commerce platforms, markets and specialized events. These were the details of the news Minister of Culture: Saudi coffee agreement an economic window for an original local product for this day.

The relationship of corn silage harvest moisture and maturity to its quality and performance is often underestimated. Harvesting corn silage at moisture levels above 70 percent will not only reduce yield but may also result in seepage and undesirable clostridia fermentation. Some farmers are first harvesting any standing corn with a combine, then returning to the field to try to reclaim the corn on the ground through one of several routes. In addition to desirable average levels of grade factors, the 2016 U.S. corn crop is entering the market channel with higher average test weight, kernel volume, oil concentration, and whole kernels, and lower broken corn and foreign material and stress cracks relative to the 5YA. In a typical year, that 3% is equivalent to almost a week in harvest time. And that means a combine can harvest corn seeded at any row spacing, adding to cropping flexibility. It is the point where grain can be safely stored in a natural air bin over winter without the chance of the kernels freezing together. Monitor losses behind the combine and grain quality in the grain tank throughout the day. Grow sweetcorn in a sheltered, sunny position, protected from strong wind, on any fertile garden soil. Sweet corn varieties lose their sweetness soon after harvesting. Gathering loss includes ears missed or lost by the machine, kernels shelled and lost by the stalk rolls or cornhead, which is where most harvest loss occurs. Mother Nature is unpredictable and harvest seems to be a time when many farmers are at the mercy of her mood changes. This takes a little more effort but is well worth it when you consider the impact on your animal performance that feed containing corn silage harvested at the correct moisture will have. Ready-grown plants will establish quickly and provide cobs earlier than sowing seed directly into the soil. Grain moisture content showed a decrease from the Oct. That's why the long, crisp, sunny days of early fall produce the sweetest corn. This information combined with average whole plant dry-down rates can be used to roughly predict the proper time to harvest corn silage. If the juice is clear, you still have a ways to go. But if it white or milky, then its time to begin the harvest. As with corn silage, inoculants may be a valuable addition during harvest and ensiling. Home gardeners can harvest baby corn and mature sweet corn ears from the same plant, said Myers. Most combine injuries occur when clothing, fingers, hands, or legs are caught in a pinch point from exposed belts and gears. You'll want to cook freshly picked corn as soon as possible, because as soon as How To Make Corn you pick it, the sugar in the kernels begins to turn to starch. Unlike other grasses grown for hay or haylage, where high quality forage is achieved by harvesting before mature seedheads develop, with corn a fully developed ear with complete grain fill is necessary for maximum yield. Machines used for harvesting corn have gradually become more complex and more expensive. I've been growing Golden Harvest corn for about eight years. ‘Earlibird AGM:(Supersweet) Vigorous plants with good sized, uniform cobs. "That's why grain farming has been so viable on Delmarva for all these years," said Bounds. It is important to recognize the importance of harvesting corn silage at the correct moisture.

While community gardens are a great way for kids and their families to learn about healthy eating and grow their own food, a drive around Indianapolis will find many thriving community gardens and many other empty, vacated community gardens. Why? Because the volunteer managers leave or gardening is harder than they thought. My idea is for an App for Community Gardens – and for both the members and the manager of the community garden to use. It would provide step by step instructions and a database of plant information. It would also allow for individuals to sign up, and create a mini “social network” for the garden. You could post the weekly gatherings to work at the garden, questions, pictures, etc. If you stop by and see that someone has some ripe produce that needs to be picked, you can send them a note with a picture through the app. It could even work like the NextDoor app where you could see the conversations in the nearby community gardens, and post questions to the wider audience if needed. Why might this be a valuable idea for Indy? It would help support existing community gardening efforts.

Container Trees vs. B&B Trees If a 3″ (trunk width) container red oak tree and a 3″ (trunk width) dug red oak tree (also called harvested and B&B trees) are planted on the same day, the container tree will outgrow the dug tree for each of the following three years. The reason for this growth rate difference is because the container tree is planted with all its’ roots; however, the dug tree is planted with 40% of its roots. The other 60% of the roots were cut and left behind in the ground where the tree was dug. The container tree will grow 2′ (length of new branch growth) the first year and the dug tree will grow 1/2′. In year two, the container tree will grow 3′ and the dug tree 15″. In year three, the container tree will grow 3′ and the dug tree 2′. By the end of this three-year period the total branch growth on a container tree is 8′ and the total branch growth on the dug tree is 4′. The container red oak will also have a trunk width of 6″ and the dug red oak will have a trunk width of 5″ after that three-year period. With a container tree you are buying an extra inch of trunk growth over the next three years. The container tree is our best value because it is the faster growing tree. Comparing Container Trees vs Dug (B&B) Trees Replacing the 60% of the roots lost can take up to 3 years for slow-growing Oaks. Compare the growth differential over this three-year period. |% of Roots which come with tree |Red Oak Year I |Red Oak Year II

After all, it was only around years ago that farming in the US transitioned from animal power to combustion engines. Over the past 20 years the global positioning system GPS , electronic sensors and other new tools have moved farming even further into a technological wonderland. The ultimate purpose of all this high-tech gadgetry is optimization, from both an economic and an environmental standpoint. So farming machines with GPS receivers are able to recognize their position within a farm field and adjust operation to maximize productivity or efficiency at that location. Take the example of soil fertility. The farmer uses a GPS receiver to locate preselected field positions to collect soil samples. Then a lab analyzes the samples, and creates a fertility map in a geographic information system. Using the map, a farmer can then prescribe the amount of fertilizer for each field location that was sampled. Sugarcane Cultivar CL 61-620 Descriptive Fact Sheet Variable-rate technology VRT fertilizer applicators dispense just exactly the amount required across the field. Precision agriculture requires three things to be successful. It needs site-specific information, which the soil-fertility map satisfies. It requires the ability to understand and make decisions based on that site-specific information. Decision-making is often aided by computer models that mathematically and statistically analyze relationships between variables like soil fertility and the yield of the crop. Finally, the farmer must have the physical tools to apply the management decisions. In the example, the GPS-enabled VRT fertilizer applicator serves this purpose by automatically adjusting its rate as appropriate for each field position. Info, analysis, tools Other examples of precision agriculture involve varying the rate of planting seeds in the field according to soil type and using sensors to identify the presence of weeds, diseases, or insects so that pesticides can be applied only where needed. Site-specific information goes far beyond maps of soil conditions and yield to include even satellite pictures that can indicate crop health across the field. Such remotely sensed images are also commonly collected from aircraft. Now unmanned aerial vehicles UAVs, or drones can collect highly detailed images of crop and field characteristics. Sugarcane Cultivar CP 70-1133 Descriptive Fact Sheet These images, whether analyzed visually or by computer, show differences in the amount of reflected light that can then be related to plant health or soil type, for example. Clear crop-health differences in images — diseased areas appear much darker in this case — have been used to delineate the presence of cotton root rot, a devastating and persistent soilborne fungal disease. Once disease extent is identified in a field, future treatments can be applied only where the disease exists. Advantages of UAVs include relatively low cost per flight and high image detail, but the legal framework for their use in agriculture remains under development. Automatic guidance, whereby a GPS-based system steers the tractor in a much more precise pattern than the driver is capable of is a tremendous success story. Safety concerns currently limit completely driverless capability to smaller machines. Global positioning gives hyperlocal info Fully autonomous or robotic field machines have begun to be employed in small-scale high profit-margin agriculture such as wine grapes, nursery plants and some fruits and vegetables. Autonomous machines can replace people performing tedious tasks, such as hand-harvesting vegetables. They use sensor technologies, including machine vision that can detect things like location and size of stalks and leaves to inform their mechanical processes. Japan is a trend leader in this area. Typically, agriculture is performed on smaller fields and plots there, and the country is an innovator in robotics. The development of flying robots gives rise to the possibility that most field-crop scouting currently done by humans could be replaced by UAVs with machine vision and hand-like grippers. Many scouting tasks, such as for insect pests, require someone to walk to distant locations in a field, grasp plant leaves on representative plants and turn them over to see the presence or absence of insects. Researchers are developing technologies to enable such flying robots to do this without human involvement. High-throughput plant phenotyping HTPP is an up-and-coming precision agriculture technology at the intersection of genetics, sensors and robotics. HTPP employs multiple sensors to measure important physical characteristics of plants, such as height; leaf number, size, shape, angle, color, wilting; stalk thickness; number of fruiting positions. Scientists can compare these measurements to already-known genetic markers for a particular plant variety. close look to sugarcane planter The sensor combinations can very quickly measure phenotypic traits on thousands of plants on a regular basis, enabling breeders and geneticists to decide which varieties to include or exclude in further testing, tremendously speeding up further research to improve crops. But the pace of high-tech innovations in agriculture is only increasing. Sugarcane planting machine pdf viewer All with nary a human being in sight. Lest we forget?

The Mixedwood plains contain Canada’s most productive and fertile soils. The predominant soils in this ecozone include Luvisols, Brunisols, and Podzols. The use of these soils varies from one area to the next because of the diversity in climate and vegetation. Podzol and Brunisol soils are more dominant in the coarser textured soils of the northern fringe, and because of this, are not suitable for agriculture and farming. In fact, they are mostly used in forestry and recreation. Grey-brown Luvisol soils, on the other hand, are used in the south to grow agricultural crops like tobacco. Luvisol soils generally develop beneath the forest vegetation from glacial deposits. The image to the left is a photograph of some Brunisol soil. The image to the right is a photograph of some Podzol soil. A Joshua Liu and Timothy Yip Production 2003-2004
