If all goes well, usually around the 1st of April. Keep in mind the Highline Canal (GVWUA) fills first and takes about a week to fill. Once it fills water is turned into the Price Ditch (PID) which takes a couple of days to fill. Then the “pump” is started and water is lifted into the Stub Ditch (MCID) so MCID usually has water to users about April 10th
Around the 31st of October depending on the weather. Please remember the canals were established for the use of watering crops years ago. If the weather has been dry late summer /early fall water is left in the canal system to allow growers to water one more time before winter.
Water is allotted by the acres of land owned, about 5 gpm per acre, which isn’t a lot. When land is developed, the total number of acres for that particular subdivision is allowed the 5 gpm per acre IE if the subdivision included 10 acres it has 50 gpm to be divided among all the lots within the original acres of land.
There is a map of Mesa County Irrigation District’s (MCID) boundaries attached to this website but may not accurately show the boundaries because of mapping overlays. Irrigation water is delivered to the “original point of diversion” for that property. If you have any questions please call 970-260-3920 and we’ll be happy to discuss the area in question with you. Please keep in mind only part of a piece of property may have irrigation water and the rest may not depending on elevations.
At the present time MCID water rates are two tiered structured. For property 1 acre or less it’s $34. For property over an acre it’s $34 for the 1st acre and $28 for every acre or part of over the 1st acre.
If you own property with a dedicated easement attached to it, MCID has the right to maintain that that canal/ lateral as need as needed. That may require daily access or very little depending the on the importance of the structures or valves in the area. Please keep this in mind when installing landscaping, fences, or structures. If you have any questions please call us. | agronomy |

Sunflowers are a fantastic easy to grow plant. Just like the monarch's - sunflowers have rapid growth and they stand out in their surroundings. Their large and brightly coloured flower heads are instantly recognisable and bring much joy to the garden. They come in a range of sizes and colours.
Sunflowers make a fantastic first gardening project for children (either at home or in the school environment). I am excited to share seeds and growing information (thanks to Kings Seeds) alongside my children's book: Trixie - Protector of the Bees. Planting sunflowers assists the pollinators by providing a rich nectar and pollen source.
Scroll down to download sunflower growing tips and a fun fact.
Comment below and let me know if you will you be growing sunflowers this year?
Each flower head on a sunflower is made up of thousands of individual flowers. Always notice the little things!

That included the knowledge that good soil preparation was the key to having a productive garden. Because we only farm about an acre and don’t tend to rotate the crops during our five growing “seasons” I know to take my soil samples over to Rick Applegate at Precision Farming Solutions on a regular basis to find out what the soil needed.
Precision Farming Solutions (www.precisionfarmingsolutions.net) was founded by Rick Applegate and they specialize in providing the cutting edge Ag solutions for farmers throughout Indiana and neighboring Kentucky. They use real science to evaluate every aspect of your farm and growing conditions and provide you with comprehensive reports that identify problems . . . then they offer you specific solutions to improve your productivity and your bottom line!
Precision Farming Solutions also advises me when conditions in my region raise up different kinds of pests and plant diseases. They usually advise me what to look out for and how to deal with it should I have problems.
Regular readers of my blog know that a couple of years ago, I contracted Lyme disease, which is thought to come from the bite of the deer tick (Ixodes scapularis) which harbors the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi.
I hadn’t given much thought to the deer we would see passing through our land back then. After my diagnosis, I was concerned about having the children out tending the crops for fear the same fate that had befallen me might get them.
One day when I was visiting Precision Farming Solutions I casually brought up the subject of deer and I was not expecting to hear that deer are actually real pests in some gardens. It would seem that when they take a particular fancy to something you’re growing like fruits or vegetables, they can wipe out a small crop in a day or two.
One thing Precision Farming Solutions knows about is pest control. We don’t like to use too many pesticides on our crops but we do recognize that they are needed because without them, we wouldn’t have any crops at all.
Precision Farming Solutions always worked with us suggesting the best ways to minimize the use of pesticide products and maximize the effect. When it came to suggestions about discouraging deer, they did not disappoint!
As it turns out there are over a dozen ways to minimize deer on your property, some very natural and a few that are a wee bit more industrial, so this week, we’re going to go over them for you!
WAYS TO STOP DEER
The first time-honored way to prevent encroachment on your land is with a fence. For discouraging deer, a fence needs to be much higher than a horse fence. The good folks at Precision Farming Solutions told me that deer will jump over horse fences all day when they are after something tasty to eat in your garden. It really takes a blockade about 8′ high to stop deer. You can create one with the low cost, plastic mesh webbing available and long stakes. For me, this was just impractical. There was too much land to cover and unless I had a very high gate put in at the driveway, they could have just entered that way.
Scent Marking is a technique that many swear by. The Coyote and wolves are the natural predators of deer. Believe it or not, you can buy a concoction of coyote urine bottled and meant to be sprinkled around the perimeter of your property. You family pet’s urine is also a deterrent as is your own. Deer have an evolutionary predilection for avoiding areas where their predators have marked the territory. It is a survival instinct that may overwhelm their hunger for your crops and make them move on.
The Family Pet
For the most part, the family pet would be the dog. Aside from the aforementioned scent marking scenario, the dog has the ability to run out and confront the deer directly, something the deer don’t like.
Deer are skittish. Many of you may have water sprinklers on timers to irrigate your crops. Creating a parallel valve system triggered with a motion sensor will make the water spray out when the deer trigger it and it does scare them off.
Most soaps have some kind of scent mixed in with them and when it comes to scented soaps and candles, even more so. Some folks have successfully sprinkled soap powder, ground up scented soap, even ground up scented candles on the trail where the deer come in and it serves them well to deter them.
Yes, just sprinkle your favorite spice around the perimeter of your crops and watch the deer shy away. One dose teaches them a lesson, fast!
In general, if you enjoy eating it, so will the deer. This goes for pretty much everything . . . every fruit, vegetable or spice you might plant for human consumption. To make matters worse, they are also OK eating things you wouldn’t eat . . . like your ornamental plants, at least the ones they find tasty. The deer want high moisture content and easy chewing, (think lettuce!) They shy away from plants with barbs and thorns which is why you often find such things on certain berry plants as nature’s way of dissuading the animals. Planting a few scented crops like garlic, chives or mint can often serve to mask the smell of the more delicious crops around them and confuse the deer.
If you perform even the most cursory Internet search, you will find dozens of home brew recipes for deer deterrence. They typically have a slop of eggs, garlic, any and all things pungent and unpleasant and many swear by such concoctions. All folks considering such a tactic must weigh the logistics of their own situation. Personally, the perimeter of my property was so large that whipping up a 55 gallon drum of the smelly brew did not seem practical or cost effective.
Commercial Deer Deterrents
When you don’t have the time to experiment with all the aforementioned ways to keep the deer away, you may just want to consult with the good folks at Precision Farming Solutions, (www.precisionfarmingsolutions.net) and they’ll be happy to discuss some of the high-powered remedies available to solve your problem.
I hope this list has been helpful for you. Trust me, you really want to be proactive and avoid either you or your family ever catching Lyme disease! | agronomy |

Few of us know about or have eaten a Hawaiian banana or enjoyed bananas in a savory dish. The Waimea Valley Banana Festival is a fun exploration of Hawaiian banana: its botanical and culinary history, as well as how to successfully grow and use bananas.
Banana varieties brought as canoe plants to Hawaiʻi by Polynesian voyagers include many varieties that have disappeared or are very difficult to find. These rare banana varieties include Iholenas, Maolis, Popoulus, and Fei bananas. In particular, Iholena and Maoli plants have been found growing in our forests, believed to have been planted by ancient Hawaiians and/or recently by workers building irrigation canals. Effort has been underway to collect and preserve these unique varieties.
The free Banana Festival was created to expand our notions of what a banana is and what it can become in our diet. Noted island chefs will be on hand to provide samples and recipes for banana dishes. Banana-based lunches and desserts will be available for purchase. There will be opportunities to taste different kinds of honey, learn about pollinators at the Hanai Hives booth, find out how to support the Hawai’i Tropical Fruit Growers—and what they offer to both farmers and backyard fruit fans.
2023 Mai‘a ‘Ho‘olaule‘a (Banana Festival) at Waimea Valley

CANNOVA plants tolerate temperatures between 5°C and 35°C. Sudden major fluctuations in temperature, however, should be prevented.
When the flowers fade or turn pale, they can easily be removed. This makes the plants look more attractive and stimulates the initiation of new buds and flowering.
CANNOVA plants prefer a somewhat moist soil, so do not let the pots dry out and provide water regularly.
Place your CANNOVA in a sunny to semi-shaded and sheltered place. Cannas have large leaves; if subjected to wind, their leaves can become damaged and turn black.
When a flower stem no longer has any buds, the stem can be trimmed back to the next shoot from which a new flower will soon develop. Shoots can be cut whenever the plants become too large or too wide.
Canna CANNOVA is a powerful plant that needs enough space to grow. Therefore repot your canna if it is about to outgrow its pot. | agronomy |

“Probiotics aren’t just for humans,” said Gregor Reid, a Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry professor and Endowed Chair in Human Microbiome and Probiotics at Lawson. “Our idea was that if you could use beneficial microbes to stimulate the immune response or attack the pathogens that are infecting the hives, then maybe we can help save the bees.”
The study, Novel probiotic approach to counter Paenibacillus larvae infection in honey bees, was published Tuesday in The ISME Journal.
Honey bees are an important part of the cultural and economic landscape because of their role in food production both through pollination of crops and honey production. However, the world’s bee population is being threatened by the spread of viruses and bacteria that infect the hives.
The team’s previous work in a fruit-fly model suggested that the wide-use of pesticides reduces bees’ immunity and their ability to fight back against these harmful pathogens.
With that in mind, Western and Lawson researchers combined their expertise in probiotics and bee biology to supplement honey bee food with probiotics in the form a BioPatty, in their experimental apiaries. The aim was to see what effect probiotics would have on honey bee health.
During their experiment, the hives became inadvertently infected with American Foulbrood, a common hive disease produced by the bacteria P. larvae, which would typically cause the bees to die.
“Bee colonies are really interesting little microcosms of biology. There are lots of individuals bees, but they are all genetically related and they are living in a close confined space,” Biology professor Graham Thompson said. “They are all very susceptible to contagious disease and they are demographically disposed to outbreaks.”
The team found that in the bee hives treated with probiotics, the pathogen load was reduced by 99 per cent, and the survival-rate of the bees increased significantly. When they examined the bees in the lab, they also found that there was increased immunity against the bacteria that causes American Foulbrood in the bees treated with the probiotics.
“The results from our study demonstrated that probiotic supplementation could increase the expression of a gene called Defensin-1 – a key antimicrobial peptide shown to play a pivotal role in honey bee defense against P. larvae infection,” said Schulich PhD Candidate Brendan Daisley, who served as lead author on the paper. “Alongside these findings, we also observed an increase in pathogen clearance and overall survival of honey bee larvae.”
Additionally, the bees given BioPatty but no probiotic were the most susceptible, even more so than bees given nothing at all. The research team says this suggests there may be a negative outcome to the common practise of supplementing bee colonies with extra food as it could stimulate the pathogens to proliferate.
“Long term, we hope to add a viable, practical and available treatment alternative to chemicals and antibiotics that beekeepers can readily adopt into their bee-keeping habits to help prevent colony collapse,” Thompson said.
Through funding from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) and the Weston Foundation, the group are currently testing the BioPatties in hives in both California, where the multi-billion dollar almond industry relies on honey bees, and on rooftops in downtown Detroit. | agronomy |

Caryn Rickel is a passionate advocate for designating yellow groove bamboo, or Phyllostachys, as an invasive species. She has been working around the clock to bring recognition of the devastation she believes this strain of bamboo is causing to the area.
According to Rickel, “Phyllostachys is not allowed in the ground in Tokyo. In China, it is only used for building. When it cures, it is as strong as steel. The rhizomes (roots with shoots) damage sewers, septics, foundations, chokes all native plants and release a natural herbicide. Nothing else grows in a bamboo forest. There are costs to owners, damages to the ecosystem, and it wipes out forests.”
“We need laws,” Rickel said. “The rest of the world already knows.”
In fact, several towns and cities in New York and Pennsylvania, among others, have created ordinances regulating the use of the species Rickel calls invasive. In Smithtown, NY, an ordinance bans planting bamboo within 10 feet of another’s property.
On a tour of Bethel and Newtown areas where bamboo appears to be growing unabated, Rickel showed how one single plant became dense acres of bamboo in less than two decades time.
“One 10 inch piece creates a whole forest. Each plant creates rhizomes that extend 20 feet around, and each rhizome creates more trees,” Rickel said, holding a piece of root that held shoots every six inches apart. “In May, the shoots come up from the ground almost two feet a day. This grows faster than anything in the world.”
Chief Scientist Jeffrey Ward, Department of Forestry and Horticultural is also part of the CT Agricultural Experiment Station. Ward does not dispute Rickel’s claims. In a letter included in the annual report for The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, Ward writes, “I have never seen a species so thoroughly dominate a site and form a mono-culture that completely excludes other plant species.”
Rickel has working hard to push House Bill 5122, which would deem the bamboo an invasive species in need of regulation. But Ward is still not so sure.
“It isn’t technically invasive,” Ward said, “because it is not producing seeds. If this produced seeds, it would be quite a problem.”
The lack of seeds is what keeps the bill from falling under the category of invasive. Ward thinks the lack of seeds may be that they cannot cross pollinate because they are not indigenous to the area. “They are sold sterile, they can’t pollinate with themselves.”
Rickel said seeding is only a matter of time.
“Invasive Species of Concern in Maryland” named Phyllostachys, Invasive Species of the Month, and stated that there are two kinds of bamboo. One is a clumping sort that grows very slowly. The other, Phyllostachys, is called running bamboo because of the way the roots spread. It is known to seed only once every 30 to 150 years, and the articles also said that the only natural enemy of the bamboo is hard to find in Connecticut. Pandas.
Once the bamboo in Maryland area seeded, it died. Because it does not appear to have seeded in CT, it is only of concern where it is planted, so invasive is a hard designation to come by for this grass-based plant. It is also less hardy in shaded areas and cannot tolerate water or swampy conditions, Ward said.
However, Ward added, “I would be really irritated if my neighbors planted it.”
One of the local growers and a lot of people like the way it looks. Mike Johnson, owner of the Summerhill Nursery in Madison, is working with Ward to develop controlled areas of bamboo to determine the manageability of the grass shoots.
“If it’s in a happy place, and soil conditions are right, over time it could spread,” Johnson said, adding his simple solution. “Spray it with Round Up towards the end of July. The plants in the spring are taking nutrients up from the root and that’s where you get the growth. By the end of July that stops and nutrients are beginning to be sent down to the root for next year. That’s the time to spray because the herbicide goes down to the root and kills it.”
Johnson said they sprayed one area in late July and again in August and the next year it was dead. “I had eight different varieties that were sprayed, and they were all Phyllostachys.”
“It’s a runner, so in the early summer, I go around the edge of it with Round Up, and that controls the spreading of it.”
Rickel disputed the theory and said that removing the rhizomes would take nothing less than a backhoe and four years of chemicals.
Johnson said that there are advantages to using bamboo, it just has to be handled properly. “We sell barriers, and 36 “ deep and 60 mil thick polyethylene sheeting. Bamboo is just a matter of using good sense and planting it in the right way. Deer don’t eat them, and that’s one of the advantages for a barrier.”
“I look at the highway,” Johnson said. “A lot of people get killed, but you don’t ban the highway.” | agronomy |

The college is planting two orchards.
One is located at the Commerce Court Campus while the other is at the College Drive lower residence.
“As part of our food security project, this community orchard will foster intergenerational collaboration and help to nourish and inspire for years to come,” said Jesse Russell, Sustainable Development Project Leader.
The orchard was made possible through community partnerships with Clean, Green, Beautiful (CGB) North Bay and Trees for Nipissing.
CGB North Bay founder Hariett Madigan says they’re grateful to Canadore for its commitment to planting and maintaining two orchards. “The apple, pear and plum trees will contribute to our urban canopy, provide fresh food for our community, create learning opportunities for students, beautify the chosen locations, and further Canadore’s work towards sustainable practices,” she says.
The college says the orchards are helping Canadore create living labs to increase student learning and applied research opportunities.
CGB North Bay and Trees for Nipissing have already planted six orchards around the community including Canadore’s groves.
The college is also one of the partners supporting a third orchard at Nipissing Serenity Hospice.

In the spring and summer, you may dream of having friends over to barbeque or swim in the pool, but biting bugs can spoil the party. Before you plan your next fete indoors, here are a few garden ideas that can help you keep bugs at bay. And you can even add some plants to the menu!
Plants that help flavor other vegetables make ideal companion plants, and many also serve as insect deterrents. Basil is an effective herb that, when planted next to tomatoes, helps the tomato plant produce a fuller, more delectable yield, and basil is also known to repel mosquitos and flies. It’s delicious when added to many foods that may also include tomato, lemon or other vegetables and fruits.
Mint keeps fleas and other insects away from cabbage, squash and tomatoes. It attracts beneficial insects to your garden and works especially well in repelling ants. Mint can be highly invasive, so it’s best to contain it in pots. Take fresh mint directly from your garden to put in your iced tea.
Lemon Balm is a mint that contains citronella which is useful against mosquitoes when you crush the leaves on your skin. It’s also a remedy for bloating and can help with indigestion as well, but consult your physician before consuming. Lemon Balm also attracts bees to help pollinate your other vegetables and flowers.
Garlic is an age-old weapon in the fight against mosquitoes, and it deters other pests as well. Garlic works because its leaves contain a chemical called allicin which is released whenever the leaves are damaged or broken. Garlic works great when planted next to lettuce, cabbage and beets but should be kept away from potatoes, peas and legumes like beans.
Cats aren’t the only ones who like catnip – it’s great for repelling mosquitoes. We don’t know why catnip affects mosquitoes the way that it does, the plant “is ten times more effective at repelling mosquitoes as DEET, which is used in most commercial insect repellants,” according to ScienceDaily.com. But before you plant catnip, here is a caveat - catnip can self-seed, meaning it can take over an area if not maintained. It can also grow to about 4 feet tall and drives neighborhood cats crazy, so plant it where you can control it.
Add colorful yellows and oranges to your garden by planting marigold, another tried-and-true mosquito repellant. The marigold is also useful when planted as a companion to crops like tomatoes, cucumbers and squash because they also repel parasitic aphids and nematodes.
Another favorite of gardeners is lavender, which is among the most versatile and useful of all garden plants. Not only does it discourage fleas and mosquitoes, but it also attracts bees and butterflies, and it protects your clothing from moths. Lavender flowers beautifully smells divine and can also be used as an
herb. A good lavender plant takes about three years to root, but once it does, it’s virtually drought resistant.
There are many more plants that help deter stinging, biting bugs. Basil is a good companion to plant with tomatoes. It improves the flavor of the tomatoes while repelling flies and mosquitoes.
By planting any of these biting bug battlers, you’ll be taking huge steps to make your time spent outdoors each year much more enjoyable. | agronomy |

Climate change is impacting more than just the individual weather patterns across the planet. Global warming is also threatening coffee crops, especially the vulnerable arabica variety. The good news for coffee lovers is that Starbucks is stepping up to develop coffee varieties that are more resistant to the impacts of climate change. Read on for all of the details of what Starbucks is doing to find new solutions to this growing problem.
How Climate Change is Putting Coffee Crops at Risk
Coffee is a crop that is highly susceptible to temperature variations, changes in humidity levels, and light. Without the specific conditions needed to cultivate these beans, the coffee crops are in danger of failing to meet consumer demand.
The Inter-American Development Bank is warning that the environmental conditions needed to support ideal coffee crop growing conditions may not be met in the coming years across an area known as the coffee belt in Latin America. The bank recently detailed that an increase in temperatures in this corner of the world will reduce the land area needed to grow coffee by up to 50% by the year 2050.
This is clearly a concern for Starbucks, a global coffee chain responsible for purchasing approximately 3% of the planet’s coffee beans. With such a vested interest in the future of the crop, the company is working to develop new arabica varietals that are engineered to thrive under rising temperatures. Agronomists employed by Starbucks have been working for over a decade to cultivate these unique types of coffee trees to determine which varieties will produce the greatest amount of usable beans in a short amount of time.
After years of research, the experts at Starbucks have determined six specific varieties that meet the criteria for state and flavor. These flavor profiles encompasses a number of notes, including sugar, honey, citrus, herbal, and melon. The specific varieties also meet set standards of size, structure, and survivability.
Starbucks estimates that it purchases its beans from approximately 400,000 farmers spanning 30 different countries. The crops are used to supply coffee for nearly 36,000 storefronts.
Solutions to Beating Coffee Leaf Rust
One of the biggest problems facing coffee crop farmers is the issue of coffee leaf rust. This disease targets coffee trees and is worsened by the effects of climate change. Arabica coffee varietals are especially susceptible to the dangers of coffee leaf rust, necessitating the urgency to develop trees that are more resistant to the negative impacts of global warming.
Coffee leaf rust is most prevalent in areas experiencing unseasonably warm temperatures. Developing a coffee crop that is resistant to coffee leaf rust has been a key initiative for Starbucks and other companies with a notable interest in this product.
Environmentalists are also advocating for the coffee industry to move way from the large and industrialized coffee farm model that has been dominating the landscape in recent years. Experts largely agree that moving the crops back to the forest will naturally align the needs with the current status of the ecosystem. This is because nature is able to adapt to a changing climate faster than scientists can make these changes in a lab.
Recognizing this need, Starbucks launched a new initiative to invest money in forest protection and restoration in 2021. The company also said that it plans on continuing to test new varietals that may be able to withstand the impacts of climate change.
For example, Starbucks has found that varieties such as liberica and robusta are able to better withstand challenging weather patterns when compared to sensitive plants such as arabica. However, coffee farmers prefer to grow arabica because of consumer preferences. As such, Starbucks is trying to develop varietals that respond like robusta and liberica but taste like arabica.
Starbucks has listed securing the coffee supply chain as one of its primary goals in the coming years. Noting that disruptions to this supply chain will adversely affect the company’s business model, Starbucks has made it a priority to protect this chain.
The company has also definitively listed climate change as one of its most pressing concerns when it comes to guarding the company’s supply chain and keeping prices down. Starbucks asserts that it will remain focused on developing new ways to protect the future of coffee crops while also providing farmers with the tools that they need to assist in this effort on their end.

Glutinous seems like an inappropriate description as there is no gluten in rice (it’s a bread thing) but what it describes really is a “sticky†rice as opposed to say Jasmine or Basmati that has rather dry and separate grains when cooked. The stickiness of rice is driven by a certain type of starch and the higher the percentage of this starch, the “stickier the rice.†Malagkit has a very high percentage of this sticky starch. Malagkit grains are generally short and rounded and look a little similar to Italian Arborio or other risotto suitable grains. They absorb liquid (water or in the case of many sweet Filipino rice cakes, coconut milk) in a different manner resulting in a unique texture of the finished product.
I was intrigued by three different varieties of sticky rice on offer. The first was a red malagkit variety that was grown in Bontoc, Mt. Province and differs from the regular non-sticky red rice I wrote about in the earlier post. At PHP85 a kilo, this was nose-bleed material but I got just half a kilo to try it out and to experience something new. Second was a deep purple tapol from Mindoro that I have used several times before for a stunning deep purple suman we make here at home. At PHP80 a kilo it is also wickedly expensive. Finally, my suki had a white malagkit variety from Calamba, Laguna that was a good basic rice for a white suman or other similar rice cakes. This was the most reasonably priced variety at PHP45 a kilo. When I want to extend my purple suman and reduce its intensity, I mix half white malagkit with the purple malagkit. However, you have to be careful to cook the grains enough as the purple rice takes longer to cook. The outcome is still a stunning purple suman that is fragrant and delicious.
Because most rice vendors carry mostly white plain rice varieties, the more unique or artisanal and organic varieties are rarely seen by most Filipinos. I really strongly encourage all of you to sample some of the more unusual or less common types of rice as they are not only delicious but you will be supporting farmers that have put their heart and soul into raising varieties that are truly extraordinary. | agronomy |

What is with the tomato this year?
Saturday, as usual, I got my bag of veggies from the farm. And there were three tomatoes in the bag. One was completely green. Another was a kind of greenish yellow. A third was red, but it was hard like a baseball.
The rest of the bag was no great shakes either, I have to say. One tiny yellow squash, one tiny zucchini. Two cantaloupes that the newsletter warned us about, saying in effect that they were use-them-or-lose-them, and that some disease had shown up that had taken care of the rest of the melons, so we'd better not expect any more.
Four leeks, that was the major score. (Howard jumped right on that one. "I'm going to take a leek," he said. AHAHAHAHAHA!)
But back to the tomato situation. The newsletter went on and on about how the farm is shipping onions to Whole Foods, how one of the farm girls just graduated from Cornell, and then there was the bad news about the cantaloupe crop. There is always bad news in this newsletter. That is what organic farming is all about. You share the luck, good or bad.
Which is well and good, but what about the tomatoes?
How can they not write about that?
At the Clinton-Bailey Market the tomatoes are not only lackluster, they're expensive. Even the cherry tomatoes and grape tomatoes, generally your fallback, are not that great this year.
Major bummer! Allow me to kvetch. It just feels so good. Ahem. We wait all year for a windfall of tomatoes, we suffer starting in May from cooking magazines that seem to assume we have them already, we anticipate September, and this is what we get? And then the nerve -- the nerve! -- of this newsletter, giving me a recipe for tomato salad. Corkscrew and Tomato Salad.
With these tomatoes?
On what planet? | agronomy |

4 x 4 - K. Lair
"4 x 4" was installed on the east side of the WAS barn over the summer of 2006. Plots 4' x 4' and spaced 4' apart were installed in rows of 10 and planted to a mix of native grasses. Some of the plots were transplanted from other parts of WAS and other were seeded (seed mixes from Allendan Seed Company). 4' x 4' was intended to be an open-ended installation in which the native prairie grasses slowly would extend in plots across the open field. The plots were left for several years and one of the columns was lost. In the summer of 2013 the line was reestablished with a new mix of native seed including forbs. Despite being planted late in the year the plots appear viable. | agronomy |

Fertilizer appliances and blenders are essential for producing custom fertilizer blends tailored to the precise vitamin needs of different crops and soil types. These machines help the thorough pairing of numerous fertilizer parts, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and micronutrients, to make a well-balanced mixture that stimulates optimal seed development and development. The ability to create custom combinations guarantees that crops receive the complete combination of vitamins necessary for healthy and robust development, leading to improved produces and overall crop quality.
Additionally, developments in fertilizer unit engineering have led to the progress of detail request gear that integrates with worldwide positioning programs (GPS). These products allow farmers to apply fertilizers with large detail, lowering the chance of over-fertilization and minimizing environmental impact. By properly targeting the areas that want vitamins, farmers can improve fertilizer use, minimize expenses, and minimize the chance of nutrient runoff, thereby causing sustainable agricultural practices and environmental conservation.
Along with detail program, the automation of fertilizer machines has changed the performance and productivity of fertilizer software processes. Automated methods may monitor and adjust fertilizer application charges in real-time, centered on specificfertilizer granulator machine earth problems, temperature habits, and plant requirements. This level of automation not only streamlines the fertilization process but also minimizes human problem and guarantees consistent and exact software, leading to improved crop wellness and yield.
More over, the integration of digital systems and data analytics in fertilizer machines has allowed farmers to get and analyze valuable information related to land wellness, plant efficiency, and fertilizer usage. By leveraging that knowledge, farmers can make knowledgeable conclusions about the sort and level of fertilizers to utilize, along with the moment of application, ultimately causing optimized crop manufacturing and resource utilization. Data-driven ideas also aid the implementation of sustainable farming techniques that decrease environmental impact and promote long-term earth health.
Over all, the evolution of fertilizer models has significantly contributed to the improvement of contemporary agriculture, empowering farmers to undertake detail farming methods and sustainable agricultural practices. These models not merely improve the efficiency and usefulness of fertilizer software but in addition enjoy an essential position in ensuring food safety, selling environmental sustainability, and promoting the global agricultural ecosystem. | agronomy |
https://www.bl228.net/6-reasons-to-start-a-garden-in-your-backyard/ | 2023-09-22T04:50:26 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506329.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922034112-20230922064112-00331.warc.gz | 0.944755 | 952 | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-40__0__83521628 | en | Have you ever looked out at your backyard and thought, ‘This could be so much more?’ Well, you’re not alone. In fact, many homeowners feel the same way. But where do you start? How do you turn your boring backyard into something more interesting? The answer is simple: start a garden. And there are plenty of reasons to do this. Here are six of them.
1. It’s a Great Way to Get Exercise
When you garden, you get to enjoy the outdoors while getting some much-needed exercise. And it’s not just your arms and legs that get a workout. Gardening also requires you to bend, stoop, and squat – all of which are great for toning your muscles. In fact, according to the CDC, you can burn up to 300 calories in half an hour by doing activities like digging, weeding, and raking. And it’s a low-impact form of exercise, so it’s easy on your joints. So, if you’re looking for a way to get fit and have some fun at the same time, gardening is a great option.
2. It’s a Great Way to Relax
It can be hard to find time to relax in today’s fast-paced world. But when you’re in your garden, all of your worries seem to disappear. That’s because gardening is a form of mindfulness, which has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety. So, if you’re looking for a way to unwind after a long day, gardening is a great option.
Gardening is also a great way to connect with nature and appreciate the simple things in life. When you’re surrounded by the beauty of your garden, it’s hard not to feel grateful for what you have.
3. It’s a Great Way to Save Money
If you’re like most people, you probably spend a lot of money on fresh fruits and vegetables. But what if I told you that you could grow your own for a fraction of the cost? It’s true. When you grow your own fruits and veggies, you not only save money but also get to enjoy fresher, tastier food. And, you can grow whatever you want, so you’re never limited by what’s in season.
This has been made especially possible by biotechnology, where the four major biotech crops, i.e., soybean, oilseed rape, maize, and cotton, account for 99% of the total biotech crops planted globally. As a result, it has helped reduce the production costs and increased the shelf life of these crops.
4. It’s a Great Way to Teach Kids About Nature
It’s no secret that kids today spend more time indoors than ever before. And while there’s nothing wrong with some screen time, it’s also important for kids to get outside and connect with nature. And what better way to do this than through gardening?
When you garden with your kids, you get to teach them about the importance of taking care of the earth. They’ll also learn where food comes from and how it’s grown. Plus, they’ll get to enjoy some quality time with you.
5. It’s Increases the Value of Your Home
If you’re looking for a way to increase the value of your home, gardening is a great option. In fact, according to industry statistics, landscaping which can include gardening can increase the value of your home by up to 14%. So, if you’re thinking about selling your home in the future, it’s a good idea to start a garden now.
Even if you do not plan on selling your home, it is still a good idea to increase its value. This is because private lenders, including hard money lenders, make property loans based on the value of the property and not the borrower’s creditworthiness.
6. It’s a Great Conversation Starter
Backyard gardens are great conversation starters. If you have a garden, chances are that your neighbors will take notice and want to chat with you about it. And even if they don’t have a green thumb, they’ll still be impressed by your handiwork.
There are many reasons to start a garden, but these six should be enough to get you started. So what are you waiting for? Get outside and start planting. Your body, mind, and wallet will thank you. | agronomy |

In Urdiain, groups of women walked to the wheat fields at midnight on Saint John’s Eve and proclaimed: “Orain arte belar, hemendik aurrera gari!” (Grass until now, wheat from now on!). Previous to that they stood in a circle and sang this song in the small square by Saint John’s hermitage. Likewise, the song used to be sung at bonfires.

Cake is widely consumed in modern people's daily life, it is deeply loved by the public. The quality and shelf life of cakes are the main factors that directly affect their market sales. The quality of the cake mainly depends on factors such as color, taste, flavor, shape, etc. The length of the shelf life depends on the microbial contamination of the product.
At present, baked cakes are usually cooled by natural cooling method, but there is inevitably a problem of microbial contamination during the natural cooling process, and the cake temperature will remain in a temperature range (30~70℃) suitable for microorganisms to multiply within a certain period of time.
Rotary vane vacuum pump play a role of vacuum cooling in cake products.
Vacuum cooling is to use a rotary vane vacuum pump to evacuate the cake products in the vacuum chamber into a heat preservation vacuum chamber. Vacuum cooling is a rapid evaporation cooling technology, which has the advantages of fast cooling speed, high energy utilization coefficient, uniform temperature drop of each part of the cooled product, and the cooling process is guaranteed to be carried out in a sterile state and is not limited by packaging containers and materials.
Due to the different places used, vacuum cooling is now called: vacuum pre-cooling, vacuum rapid cooling, vacuum freezing, vacuum pre-cooling and preservation, etc.
At first, vacuum cooling was only used for the first link of the fresh-keeping chain of agricultural products in the field. Pre-cooling and rapid cooling to reach the required low temperature can inhibit the growth of spoilage microorganisms in agricultural products, inhibit the function of enzymes and respiration, and reduce the alcohol in agricultural products.
The cooling speed of vacuum cooling is faster and uniform than directly placed in the cold storage, and the color, aroma, taste and nutritional content of the original product can be maintained. Vacuum cooling is the most ideal refrigeration technology with the fastest cooling speed at present.
It can make vegetables, fruits and flowers and other agricultural products, as well as meat, fish, bakery, cooked food and other foods in a vacuum state quickly and evenly so that the quality, freshness and nutritional value of the product are effectively and safely guaranteed. Therefore, this technology has been widely used in many food processing fields.
What is the difference between cooling in a cold room and using a rotary vane vacuum pump for vacuum cooling?
It takes 3-4 hours to cool down in the cold storage, and vacuum cooling: 0.3-0.5 hours.
The traditional cold storage cooling requires a large delivery room, and the space is large enough to completely cool the cooked food. Vacuum cooling greatly saves space. Cooked food cooling is divided into hot area and cold area. The cooling process of hot area entering and cold area exiting is adopted to avoid bacterial crossover. It also saves a lot of manpower, material resources and costs.
Food safety and hygiene
Due to the long cooling time, bacteria are easy to breed during the cooling process, causing secondary pollution. The entire cooling process of vacuum cooling is carried out in a vacuum-tight state, and the cooling time is short, which successfully avoids the secondary pollution of the food during the cooling process.
The temperature inside and outside of the food after cooling in the cold storage is inconsistent, and the taste is also lost to the original taste. The temperature inside and outside of the food after vacuum cooling is the same, which not only ensures the taste of the food, but also basically does not change in appearance from that before cooling.
The application of rotary vane vacuum pump in cake products realizes that the temperature of the cake is uniform and clean during the cooling process, and it will not be polluted, so that the quality of the food can be well guaranteed. Moreover, due to the short treatment time, local drying and dehydration will not occur.
At the same time, due to the short pre-cooling process time, the operating energy consumption and cost of the corresponding equipment are significantly lower than those of traditional refrigeration equipment, and the load caused by the heat infiltrating the surrounding environment due to the long pre-cooling time can also be greatly reduced.
Vacuum cooling is not limited by the material, size and structure of the food packaging carrier, and its cooling speed is almost the same as that of unpackaged products, which is extremely convenient and fast in production.

Nice landscaping gives your home not just prettier aesthetics but increases its value as well. Despite the fact it is a full-time job to maintain the good looks of your home, it will certainly give you the results you wanted. Maintaining your garden is not a brainer nowadays thanks to the Internet and all of the information available at the specialized websites. In order to make your life easier, here are some useful tips on how to take proper care of your garden.
A neat lawn will change the appearance of the entire household. Starting from mowing to edging, your lawn needs to be well-defined without problems typical for lawns. Patches in the lawn, for instance, can look quite bad, so consider getting grass turfs instead of planting grass seeds. This will give you instant results. On the other hand, you are not obliged to use real grass turfs, there are also artificial grass turfs that will give you almost the same results without problems like grassless spots, and patches made by your naughty pets. Whatever is your choice, make sure that your lawn has defined edges. This will give your lawn a restrained and tamed appearance. Creating defined edges is not so demanding, everything you will need is a sharp spade to cut a defined line between your line and path or fence. Alternatively, if you want your garden to stand out, you can use a physical barrier such as bricks, timber, or metal.
Defining a lawn edge is just one step to a perfect lawn. If you have decided to make your perfect natural lawn, there are some things you should know about regular mowing, watering, and fertilization. Mowing your lawn at least once a week during the spring and summer seasons is a regular procedure for lawn maintenance, depending on the region and whether you will need to adjust mowing. The period of the day is also very important about mowing and it is recommended to mow your lawn in the early evening so that grass remains moisturized.
Additionally, you should bear in mind to cut one-third of grass every time you mow. When it comes to watering, it is one of the most important factors and you should not water your lawn every day unless you are growing new seeds. It is smart to water your lawn two or three times a week. Speaking of fertilization, you can add fertilizer to your regular routine by using a high-quality lawn fertilizer and a lawn spreader. This will make your lawn greener and more vibrant.
Make Your Plants Work For You
Once you have decided on the theme you want to have in your yard then it is high time to switch to planning the next step, and it is the project realization. If you are in doubt about where to start, you can find a whole bunch of useful advice at Urban Organic Yield that will make your life easier on your journey of creating a perfect garden. In the earliest stages of your garden, you need to understand how you can make your plants work for you, and this can be performed in various ways.
Plants can provide you with their fruits as vegetables and fruit do; flowers and bushes can make a beautiful scenery, and these can make your entire space smell beautifully due to aromas produced by flowers and plants. Besides this, plants can be used as a barrier to your property and give you some privacy. Plants will not only create a physical barrier to your property but can also reduce noise. Taller trees, bushes, and shrubs will block loud noises and will reduce wind impact. All the plants and well-maintained lawn will make your garden look neat.
Structure Your Plants
The easiest way before you start purchasing plants for your garden is to sketch how you would like your garden to look and start acting accordingly. Consider various visual patterns when you start selecting plants. Think of your garden as if it is made of layers. Start with the overhead layer and this will include tall trees and archways. Once you have decided on the top layer, you should move to the vertical lining and see which plants would be positioned here and the amount of space that will be put between the plants. General advice is that larger plants should be positioned behind some smaller plants. Lastly, there is also a ground where some smaller plants are usually picked as the right option. By repeating similar shapes and forms, you will create a unified and defined look for your garden.
Small details give your garden a special charm. Consider getting a small bench under the tallest tree for some romantic moments and making beautiful memories. If there are small areas planted with small flowers, you can define edges with some white stones. Garden ornaments like small figures, hanging vases, or fountains will only improve the aesthetics of your garden.
You need to think about how these details will complement the atmosphere in your garden for creating a captivating landscape. Not only the appearance of the plants should be considered, think of the fragrances and details as well. By planting fragrant flowers, you will enhance your blooming flowers, but think how these fragrances will complement together.
Taking care of the garden is a full-time job and demands your full devotion, but it is worth it. Your garden’s gorgeous landscape will not only make you happy but will also significantly raise the value of your home and offer you a pleasant and calm area to spend time with your family. | agronomy |

Initially the challenge was to propagate seed and cuttings in an extremely hot climate. Through collaboration with horticulturists from Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE) and with botanic gardens from Australia, successful protocols were developed and we continue to conduct research projects to experiment with new propagation methods for the native plants – many of which have never been propagated before.
Plants are propagated by seed or through cuttings, division and air layering. Seeds are collected in the wild by the Botany and Conservation team, and after they have been identified and cleaned, the seeds are given to the propagation team for sowing. The number of seeds collected and the number of plants grown corresponds with the planting designs for the garden.
Prior to sowing, a propagation number is created in a plant data base table where all relevant information about each seed is recorded. The optimum treatment for seed germination is investigated, and various pre-sowing treatments are considered – including, for example, soaking in water, scarification, putting the seed in a fridge to break dormancy. After pre-sowing treatments, the seeds are sown into seed trays with a seedling mix that suits the individual needs of the plant. Each pot has a unique label that contains the lineage of the plant. Seed trays are kept in a propagation house and, once the seed has germinated, the seedlings are planted in small pots and moved to glasshouses and polytunnels.
An important horticultural practice is the cultivation of plants from cuttings. Fresh cutting material, either collected in the field or from the nursery, is received in the propagation house. Pre-cutting preparation includes sterilising plants with a mild bleach solution and removal of dead and diseased tissue. Only healthy cuttings are prepared. To induce root growth, heat from underneath is used, and intermittent mist from above prevents the plants from drying out.
There is no horticultural manual on how to propagate native Omani species. Some of the propagation is trial and error. To date, 358 species from 73 families have been successfully propagated. | agronomy |

Our history begins in 1930 when granddad Benvenuto Morando arrived and settled here with his large family, as he was attracted by a favourably positioned and sun-kissed land. In the 1960s, through great sacrifices and tenacity his son Giuseppe bought the land and started the cultivation of the vine.
In the following years we strengthen our tradition and passion for wines, that now moves Adriano in taking care of the vineyard and producing the best wine. Through a great deal of experience and professional growth, an important step was taken into the future as he built a new winery in 2010. The investment was designed to welcome and adopt innovative wine-making technologies, in order to get the best from the grapes in a natural way.
Our cellar offers the direct sale of the wine we produce. We have typical products of the Lake Garda, such as Bardolino, Chiaretto and Custoza, but many others: more structured red wines, sparkling wines and moreover!
“Il vino, specialmente in Italia, è la poesia della terra.”
The farm vineyards are located on the gentle slopes of a morainal hill, about 210m above sea level, which has a clayey-silty soil containing calcareous elements. Thanks to these features our wines stand out for their marvellous nose and minerality. Our vineyards are located in the DOC area for Custoza, Bardolino and Chiaretto.
VINE TRAINING SYSTEMS
About half of the vineyards (8 hectares) is over 15 years old, and the traditional training system is Trentino pergola, which entails a larger use of manual labour.
For the other more recent half of the vineyards the Guyot training system has been adopted. It has helped improving the quality of all grape varieties as it enables the mechanization of green pruning and defoliation especially. We choose hand-picked grape harvest, in order to secure the best selection of the yield. | agronomy |

Agricultural exports increased by 13% between September 2017 and April 2018 to reach around 3 million tons. However, restricted water supply and arable lands resulted in lower production, which makes the country dependent on imported food, according to Food Africa Expo.
Business Forward looks into what the food production industry looks like and how the country’s economic reform program affected the sector.
What does the market look like?
Despite the country’s LE217 billion sustainable development plan for agricultural lands, food production in Egypt does not meet local demand amid the growing population.
Over 7,000 local food processing and manufacturing companies generated sales worth $22.2 billion in 2018, with retail food sales expected to reach $98 billion by 2020, according to a report released by the Global Agriculture Information Network (GAIN).
Domestic food production is mainly dominated by family-owned businesses such as Edita, Juhayna and Arabian Food Industries.
The overall effects of inflation and devaluation on consumers
In 2016, the Egyptian government kicked off its economic reform program, starting with the floatation and devaluation of the Egyptian pound and the reduction of subsidies. Accordingly, annual food inflation rates skyrocketed from 14% in January 2016 to 40% in 2017.
Consequently, Egyptians spent 45% of their income on food by the end of 2016 compared with 40% in 2012, according to data by the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS). Notably, food consumption doubled and sometimes tripled during the month of Ramadan each year.
Consumer prices went up by 60% between 2016 and 2017, according to member of the Food Industries Chamber at the Federation of Egyptian Industries Ashraf al Gazayerli.
How were businesses in the sector affected?
Economics professor at Alexandria University Zeinab Awad-Allah previously told the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) that the industry would not have been negatively impacted had the sector not been heavily subsidized.
Due to the reforms, production costs increased, thus raising prices. Companies are tackling this issue by lowering their break-even point through increasing profit margins to compensate for shrinking sales volumes, according to chairman of Faragallah Food Industries Mohamed Amer, as quoted by AmCham.
Other challenges facing the food industry
Other challenges in the industry include the sector’s non-compliance with Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), lack of a food safety system, shortage of irrigation water, reclaimed land allocation and pricing issues and a lack of investments targeted to research and development, according to a report released by the Federation of Egyptian Industries (FEI).
The FEI adds that a lack of monitoring and regulation of agricultural activities, weak supply chains and ineffective farming methods contribute to an estimated 30%-loss in agriculture production.
Some of the proposed solutions by the federation include linking agricultural policies to industrial and export policies, reviewing customs duties on raw materials, increasing funding for agricultural research and establishing logistics centers nationwide to improve supply chains. Furthermore, the inspection of animal-based products, accreditation of farms through a new system to export and sell products to the local market and facilitation of import procedures should be considered in order to enhance the industry.
Amid the challenges fronting the food sector in Egypt, world food prices have been increasing for the fifth consecutive month, the United Nations’ (UN) Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reported earlier this month. The food price index averaged 172.4 points in May, up from 170.3 points in April – its highest level since 2018.
Despite global rising food prices, Egypt still owns promising potential on the agriculture front, according to Food Africa. Market size is expected to average $11.3 million by 2023, growing 3.6% between 2014 and 2023. | agronomy |

"The kitchen garden is the essential American garden," and "heirloom vegetables will never be safe from extinction unless we use them." These two statements from Weaver, a food historian and organic gardener, form the philosophical framework for his detailed treatise on vegetables from America's past. The history of the kitchen garden in America, the use of heirloom vegetables in today's gardens, and the heirloom seed-saving movement are a few of the topics covered, but most of this book is devoted to detailed profiles of approximately 280 heirloom vegetables. These profiles contain historical background, general growing and seed-saving information, and descriptions of specific heirloom varieties with an occasional old-fashioned recipe included. The section on tomatoes, for example, covers 20 different varieties, from the Acme to the Yellow Peach. A short appendix identifies commercial sources for seed and plant stock as well as some useful periodicals. The author's enthusiasm for and knowledge of his subject will inspire gardeners to begin including heirloom vegetables in their own yards.

Technical grade urea is a chemical compound with the formula CO(NH2)2. It is a solid, crystalline substance that is widely used in various industries for its unique properties and applications. Technical grade urea is primarily distinguished from agricultural or fertilizer-grade urea by its purity and specific manufacturing standards.
The production of technical-grade urea involves the synthesis of urea from ammonia and carbon dioxide in a high-pressure and high-temperature process known as the Haber-Bosch process. This results in the formation of pure urea crystals, which are then further processed to meet the required specifications for technical applications.
One of the main applications of technical grade urea is as a raw material in the production of resins, plastics, and adhesives. Urea-formaldehyde resins, for example, are widely used in the manufacturing of plywood, particleboards, laminates, and moulded products. These resins offer excellent bonding properties, high strength, and water resistance, making them suitable for various industrial and construction applications.
Technical grade urea is also utilized in the production of melamine, which is an important component in the manufacturing of laminates, coatings, and flame-retardant materials. Melamine-formaldehyde resins are known for their high heat resistance, hardness, and durability. They find applications in the automotive, electrical, and construction industries.
Another significant application of technical grade urea is in the production of nitrogen-based fertilizers. Urea fertilizer is widely used in agriculture for its high nitrogen content, which is essential for plant growth and development. It provides a readily available source of nitrogen that can be easily absorbed by plants. Urea is often combined with other nutrients and micronutrients to create balanced fertilizer formulations suitable for various crops and soil conditions.
In addition to its applications in resins, plastics, adhesives, and fertilizers, technical-grade urea finds use in the pharmaceutical industry. It serves as a starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of certain pharmaceutical compounds. Urea has also been used in dermatological treatments for its moisturizing and exfoliating properties.
In conclusion, technical grade urea is a versatile chemical compound with a wide range of applications in various industries. Its role in the production of resins, plastics, adhesives, fertilizers, and livestock feed supplements highlights its importance in manufacturing and agriculture. | agronomy |

A wonderful story appeared on ABC Rural on 7 February. On a trip to France about eight years ago, NSW South Coast oyster grower Steve Feletti tried some oysters in a fish market along with a glass of piquepoul blanc.
“When I tried piquepoul blanc at the markets I was struck by the sensory thunderbolt of how sweetly the two flavours went together,” he said.
Mainly grown in the Rhone Valley and Languedoc regions of France, piquepoul blanc can also be found over the border in Catalonia, Spain.
It’s a grape that wasn’t grown in Australia at the time. As Feletti also has a farm in Cowra it occurred to him he could grow the grape that made the wine that went so well with oysters.
The long possess of quarantine, planting and growing started, and almost a decade later there is a wine. Windowrie Estate is the winemaker. | agronomy |

I love being outside, getting dirty, and working with my hands. So I feel like my kids should also help in the family garden.
This goes back to teaching life skills. In case of a deep recession or, God forbid, another depression, our youth need to know how to grow their own food. I know it’s also a great way to save money, but sometimes you have to look at the BIG picture. No economy is recession-proof.
The weather was perfect last Tuesday and hubby took the day off. I was supposed to use that time to rest, but I am solar powered and needed the sunshine. I decided to use that time to get my little box garden ready. Auggie was thrilled to help. Not pictured was my oldest, who got paid to weed the garden for me.
It’s a modest little garden, but it’s what I can manage right now. We are going to add a little bit of height to it with a dirt and compost mix. I’ve been working on my compost since we first moved in three years ago. I think it’s time to add it to the garden. Right now we are planning on string beans, tomatoes, and carrots. I picked the first two and Auggie picked the last.
Last year I had intended to add a second box, but my back wouldn’t let me. Our backyard is really rocky so it takes a lot of effort to get a plot ready for gardening. I’m going to work a little on it this year and hope to have it completely ready for next year. I would also like to add some cold boxes, but am not brave enough to just yet. | agronomy |

With enough NPK plants grow to maturity, fruit, and provide bountiful harvests. In the case of any deficiency in aquatic plants, you should first consider carbon dioxide intake before dealing with the other nutrient factors. Diagnosis: To diagnose potassium deficiency, many large-scale farmers use indicator crops such as banana, cotton, and potato. Soil exchangeable potassium measurements are frequently used to predict the potassium status of crops, but they do not reflect the soil’s reserves of potentially available potassium, which may be released over a period of time. Potassium deficiency occurs when your body suddenly loses a lot of fluid. Even soils which are naturally high in potassium may become depleted after several successive crops. Landon, R.J. 1991) (ed.) Leaves turn yellow from the edge in the direction of the veins and rusty-coloured dead spots appear in the leaves. Recommendations for fertiliser additions range from 80 to 200 kg K/ha. What are the sign of potassium deficiency: Potassium deficiency will create a plant to grow extra poorly typical than it should. Typical symptoms of potassium deficiency in plants include brown scorching and curling of leaf tips as well as chlorosis (yellowing) between leaf veins. Therefore, correction of an apparently mild deficiency may result in large yield increases. Organic fertilizer trials. In acidic soils, you can add potassium bicarbonate or potassium hydroxide (5ml in 10 litres of water). Evaporation is reduced if there is a shortage of potassium. Hence, the deficiency of such essential minerals, namely – iron, nitrogen, manganese, potassium, magnesium, zinc, calcium, results in deficiency symptoms Here are 8 signs and symptoms of a potassium deficiency. You can also run into Potassium Lockout. In some cases, the interveinal tissue may become necrotic, either remaining as isolated spots or coalescing to form small, irregular lesions. Proceedings of the Sixth Triennial Symposium of the International Society for Tropical Root Crops – Africa Branch, Lilongwe Malawi, October 1995. International Institute for Tropical Agriculture. Effect of sodium in the nutrient medium on the incidence of potassium deficiency symptoms in tomato plants. In: Plucknett, D.L. I, pp II- 20-33. and D’Souza, E.J. In contrast to nitrogen or phosphorus deficiencies, potassium deficiency tends to have a much greater effect on storage root yield than on the growth of the tops. Deficiency symptoms: Potassium deficiency causes the following symptoms: Potassium deficiency usually begins with a characteristic mottled chlorosis of older leaves that gradually spreads to younger leaves. PRO TIP: A little potassium in the fall helps plants to be stronger in winter. As with other major nutrients, potassium deficiency can cause substantial growth reduction before specific symptoms develop. Small brown necrotic spots following interveinal yellowing in a mature leaf ( J. O’Sullivan). 1988. Potassium deficient crops tend to produce small, thin storage roots of poor quality. Too little, or the wrong type of fertiliser. On the oldest leaves, yellowing occurs in marginal and interveinal zones. Field Crops Research 19, 1-25. Fertilizer Guide for Tropical and Subtropical Farming. It has been suggested that ploughing in potassium fertiliser to a depth of 40 cm may increase its efficiency, noting that it is the deeper roots which most actively provide potassium for storage root growth in the late stages of crop development. Read attentively and make yourself a good agriculturist and work for the nation. Of course, there are other reasons your potassium can be low. Old leaves are affected first. The absence of symptoms on the youngest leaves, and the occurrence of necrotic lesions on the oldest leaves indicate potassium deficiency. Considered as one of the first and most noticeable signs of potassium deficiency is the yellowing of the tips of the leaves on your marijuana plants. D’Souza, E. and Bourke, R.M. Crop responses to potassium fertilisation are generally expected at exchangeable potassium values in the range 0.2 – 0.6 cmol(+)/kg soil, although this relationship depends on the soil texture and total cation exchange capacity (CEC): sandy soils may respond only in the range 0.05 – 0.25 cmol(+)/kg. The leaf symptoms appear somewhat similar to an iron deficiency in that they can turn bright yellow, but the tips of the leaves curl as the edges turn brown, burn and die. The plants show rosette or … Potassium can be added to the soil either in the form of inorganic fertiliser or in organic mulches and composts. See more ideas about plant nutrients, potassium deficiency, nutrient. Potassium stress is typically seen on the leaf tips and margins of older leaves, which turn from green to yellow, eventually becoming brown and necrotic. Many other factors can influence plant K uptake and hence expression of K deficiency. Potassium deficiency occurs most commonly on sandy soils, which have a low capacity to bind cations such as potassium, and on highly weathered soils with low cation status. Tips of the younger leaves show grey edges. Fujise, K. and Tsuno, Y. I'm studying plant pathology. In case the EC in the substrate or soil is high, you can rinse with water. A consequence is that the temperature in the leaves will increase and the cells will burn. A 20 t/ha sweetpotato crop removes approximately 100 kg K/ha in the storage roots, and considerably more is removed if both roots and vines are harvested. Reasons Potassium … Cause – Nitrogen promotes green, leafy growth and deficiency effects in yellowing and stunted growth. The appearance of an interveinal chlorotic mottle or small necrotic pits in interveinal tissue of leaves of intermediate age may resemble symptoms of manganese deficiency. A 20 t/ha sweetpotato crop removes approximately 100 kg K/ha in the storage roots, and considerably more is removed if both roots and vines are harvested. General introduction and inorganic fertilizer trials. Causes of abnormal seedlings 1. Examples of interveinal chlorosis on mature leaves, with minor veins retaining a green margin (J. O’Sullivan). Field Crops Research, 12, 363-375. de Geus, J.G. Influence of nitrogen and potassium fertiliser on growth of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) in Papua New Guinea. 18(6): 762-767. Potassium Toxicity . Today on Lex’s World, my guide on identifying, diagnosing and fixing K-deficiency in your plants. Floyd, C.N., Lefroy, R.D.B. These symptoms of potassium deficiency sound pretty bad, and that’s because they are. In some, spreading is predominantly from the margins to interveinal zones, in others lesions are initiated in interveinal regions nearer the midrib, and some may spread with relatively little regard for veinal distribution. Potassium deficiency (plants) Last updated July 24, 2019 Potassium-deficiency symptoms on a tomato leaf A potassium-deficient maize plant. 1986b. and Asher, C.J. Lack of Potassium in Soil. Magnesium-deficient crops are generally pale all over, and the pattern of interveinal chlorosis is usually more regular, with the major veins remaining green for their entire length. Without them plants are stunted, take longer to fruit, and reduce or eliminate yield. Plant growth slows. This may be the earliest, or only sign of potassium deficiency, but depending on cultivar and conditions, it may not develop. Luckily, both of these are easy to fix if you act quickly. Potassium plays an essential role in the transport of water, the firmness of tissues and the exchange of gases with the atmosphere. The most notable symptoms of potassium deficiency in plants are browning, drying and curling of the tips and edges of the recently matured leaves. I have completed my Bachelor of Science in Agriculture degree. However, the most common visual symptom of potassium deficiency is scorching and yellowing of leaf edges, while the inner side of the leaf remains green. Therefore, a critical concentration of 2.6% would apply in most field situations. Potassium deficiency is one of the most common marijuana deficiencies. Although plants can suffer from nitrogen and phosphorus toxicity, interestingly enough, potassium toxicity is exceedingly rare. Excessive application of potassium may lead to magnesium or calcium deficiency, due to depression of the uptake of these elements. It can also be caused by a magnesium deficiency. Canadian J. The tip and margins of the leaf may die. “Detecting Mineral Nutrient Deficiencies in Tropical and Temperate Crops.” Westview Tropical Agriculture Series, No. Elements like nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, sulfur, and magnesium are considered macronutrients. 48, Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, Canberra, 136 p. O’Sullivan, J.N., Asher, C.J., Halavatau, S., Blamey, F.P.C. Potassium deficiency symptoms in plants. If you think you’re deficient, be sure to visit your doctor, as potassium deficiency can have serious health consequences. Browning or yellowing on leaf edges of newly matured leaves. A 20 t/ha. Most cases of potassium deficiency depend upon soil type, or rather the water retention capacity of a particular soil type. This should be permanently monitored with a drop checker. In the field, symptoms often develop after two to three months, when the expanding storage roots begin to place increased demand on potassium supplies. Causes of Potassium Deficiency in Plants. Light brown and whitish, necrotic dots develop within the chlorotic areas. Extracts of the grape family also contain a lot of potassium. Certain plants such as anubias or java fern need lots of potassium to survive. The tips of the leaves curl up radically and whole sections of the leaves begin to rot. Characteristic symptoms of K deficiency in monocots is brown-scorching of leaves along the margins. Define seed in various points of view Definition of seed …, Causes of abnormal seedling. Causes of Potassium Deficiency. ... deficiency-related symptoms include. O’Sullivan, J.N., Asher, C.J. Edmond, J.B. and Sefick, H.J. Certain medications such as diuretics, laxatives, aspirin, certain types of antibiotics, blood pressure lowering drugs, bronchodilators, and steroids can lower potassium levels. MAgrSc thesis, The University of Queensland, Australia. Proceedings of the American Society for Horticultural Science 36, 544-549. In the presence of sufficient sodium, a critical concentration of 2.6% K has been determined in the 7th to 9th youngest leaf blades. Role of Potassium. Brown necrotic lesions develop within the yellow parts and eventually spread to cover the entire leaf blade. 1938. In a hydroponic system results get visible within several days. This practice is most advisable on light-textured soils which may lose a lot of potassium by leaching. Bernier, B. and Brazeau, M. 1988. In heavier soils, a positive correlation between sweetpotato yield and exchangeable potassium has been reported over a range of 0.2 – 1.0 cmol(+)/kg soil. Organic mulches are much more bulky than inorganic fertilisers, therefore requiring more labour, but the efficiency of nutrient use by the crop may be higher. As a gardener, you do not need to know the why and how in order to be hurt by a potassium deficiency in plants. In root crops like sugar-beet, sweet potato, the roots become slender and they are poorly developed. 7, pp 179-188, Westview Press, USA. The first sign of potassium deficiency is usually yellowing of the leaf margins. On sandy soils in particular, magnesium and calcium applications may be necessary in addition to potassium to maintain a favourable balance. Necrosis of the leaf margin is most severe on the oldest leaves. Soil fertility and sweet potato production on volcanic ash soils in the highlands of Papua New Guinea. Such deep placement is rarely practised, other than by the burial of compost under mounds in some traditional production systems. Like most nutrient problems, growers have found multiple solutions for how to fix potassium deficiency in plants. May 17, 2014 - Potash is a major plant nutrient and is associated with vigour for flower and fruit production. 50(2): 427-432. So, what are the causes of these symptoms? Let’s get right into that. (ed.) Potassium takes care of the strength and the quality of the plant. Typical symptoms of potassium deficiency in plants include brown scorching and curling of leaf tips as well as chlorosis (yellowing) between leaf veins. Yellowing and brown necrosis spreading from margins between veins of older leaves ( J. O’Sullivan). Symptoms of K deficiency induced in a plant in solution culture, showing fine interveinal mottle on mid leaves, and yellowing and necrosis in an interveinal to irregular pattern on oldest leaves (J. O’Sullivan). Common signs and symptoms of potassium deficiency include weakness and fatigue, muscle cramps, muscle aches and stiffness, tingles and numbness, heart palpitations, breathing difficulties, digestive symptoms and mood changes. Plant and Soil. Intensification of subsistence agriculture on the Nembi Plateau, Papua New Guinea 1. 1997a. You shouldn’t worry if you only see one or two leaves with yellowing. Minor veins retain their green colour, dividing the pale tissue into small areas. At severe deficiency, the intercostal areas of the leaves may become chlorotic, too. Interactions between potassium, calcium and magnesium. The determination of a critical concentration for potassium in sweetpotato leaves is complicated by the fact that sweetpotato has some capacity to substitute sodium for part of its potassium requirement. The causes of potassium deficiency in cannabis can be some factors, such as the buildup of salts in your growing medium (soil or coco coir). Most of the damage patterns listed below, such as yellow leaves or crippled growth, can also be caused by a carbon deficiency. Nitrogen is soluble, so easily washed out of the soil in winter rains, just when the plants … Effect of potassium on the dry matter production of sweet potato. Symptoms of potassium deficiency show differently at … Soils that have a low clay content – such as sandy, chalky or peaty soil – are unable to hold moisture, and water drains away very quickly from these types of soil. Often, potassium deficiency symptoms first appear on older (lower) leaves because potassium is a mobile nutrient, meaning that a plant can allocate potassium to y… However, in the case of manganese deficiency, the green zones around veins are broader and more diffuse. D’Souza, E. and Bourke, R.M. In solution culture experiments with very low sodium concentrations, the critical concentration for K was found to be approximately 4.0%. It is very difficult for plants to access too much potassium. Centre d’Etude de l’Azote, Zurich. Plants and potassium is actually a mystery to even modern science. Cultivars vary in the pattern in which lesions spread. Hill, W.A. This appears to be consistent with field measurements from crops which responded to potassium fertiliser. Potassium accompanies nitrate, as a counter-ion, as it translocates within the plant. Potassium deficiency, also known as potash deficiency, is a plant disorder … Nitrogen (N) Symptoms – General yellowing of older leaves at bottom of the plant and the rest of the plant is often light green. Nutrient disorders of sweet potato and taro: advances in diagnosis and correction in the Pacific. This is a blog is about basic agricultural study. Nutrient deficiency symptoms associated with sugar maple dieback and decline in the Quebec Appalachians. Potassium-deficiency symptoms in beans A potassium-deficient grape leaf. An excess of sodium (kitchen salt) in the root environment, as sodium slows down potassium intake. The effects of potassium on plants is well known in that it improves how well a plant grows and produces but exactly why and how is not known. (eds.) Plant growth, root development, and seed and fruit development are usually reduced in potassium-deficient plants. This phenomenon is referred to as 'False potassium deficiency' or 'Spring fever'. Add potassium yourself, either in inorganic form: dissolve 5 – 10 grams of potassium nitrate in 10 litres of water. Plant growth, root development, and seed and fruit development are usually reduced in potassium-deficient plants. Ivahupa, S. 1997. Most Common Plant Nutrient Deficiency Symptoms – N, P, K. Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K) represent the most common nutrients given to plants as fertilizer. The chlorosis in potassium deficiency is irreversible even if potassium is given to plants. Necrosis associated with K deficiency is usually dark in colour, and the necrotic areas become dry and brittle. The yellowing and necrosis may be preceded by a light green interveinal mottle affecting mature to older leaves, and often most obvious on the leaves of axillary shoots. Sweet Potato. Deficiency symptoms: Leaf edge chlorosis on new matured leaves followed by interveinal scorching and necrosis from leaf edge to the midrib as deficiency increases. If, however, you see the problem progressing, take a look at some of the solutions listed below. When the leaf symptoms are both present, it’s a good sign you have a potassium deficiency in your leaves. Goodbody, S. and Humphreys, G.S. III. Potassium supplementation by leaf fertilization is not recommended. Papua New Guinea Journal of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, 34, 29-39. Response of cassava, sunflower and maize to potassium concentration in solution. These are needed in large amounts so that plants can perform various tasks including creating essential biological molecules, seed germination, forming … Our website is made possible by displaying online advertisements to our visitors. These symptoms could be caused due to the lack of both micronutrients and macronutrients in plants. In dicots yellowing occurs between the veins. Plants may stretch and stems may become weak, but leaf symptoms are more noticeable. Root crops have a high requirement for potassium (K) compared with cereals, as the content of potassium in the harvested roots is high. Papua New Guinea Journal of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, 34, 19-28. For more information, check out my article on how to do a soil test. It is known as a luxuriant nutrient as plants uptake it in huge quantities. Potassium is absorbed quickly and easily by the plant. Orange-fleshed varieties usually have a paler-than-normal flesh colour. Please consider supporting us by disabling your ad blocker. Since sweetpotato crops remove a considerable amount of potassium from the soil (approximately 8 kg potassium in storage roots plus vines per 1 tonne of roots), continuous cropping without fertilisation can lead to the exhaustion of soil potassium reserves. Forest Res. This is perhaps the simplest explanation of potassium deficiency in plants, but it is not always the correct one. 1997. 1986a. This occurs mostly on the edges of the leaves, where normally, evaporation is highest. and Spence, H.B. Soil chemical status and the prediction of sweet potato yields. This blog helps those students who are want to achieve proper knowledge of basic agriculture degree B.Sc.Ag (Hons.). Sodium substitution of potassium in tropical root crops. Potassium deficiency symptoms in plants Root crops have a high requirement for potassium (K) compared with cereals, as the content of potassium in the harvested roots is high. Also, older leaves can turn reddish and curl upward if a plant doesn’t get enough potassium. Manganese Plants that are deficient in Manganese will have yellow to white reticulated patches on the leaves. The maximum substitution effect seems to be achieved at relatively low sodium concentrations, which would be found in most soils. Causes of Potassium Deficiency in Plants. and Yapa, L.G.G. While potassium toxicity usually won’t cause direct problems in plants, it can cause deficiencies in other nutrients, like calcium and magnesium. Field Crops Research 1, 347-361. and Blamey, F.P.C. Magnesium (Mg) 1989. 1985b. In a more densely planted aquarium, the CO2 content should be at a level of about 20 to 30 mg/l. If young leaves are normally purple, this pigmentation may be reduced in K deficient plants. Luckily, these symptoms are temporary, and no K-deficiency symptoms follow later in the season. Booker Tate Ltd; Longman, London. Potassium deficiency in tomato plants causes disintegration of pith cells and results in an increase in the differentiation of secondary phloem parenchyma into sieve tubes and companion cells. Initially, leaves of intermediate age may be more affected than the older leaves. An extreme shortage produces meagre, unhealthy-looking plants with strongly reduced flowering. Symptoms generally appear when the plant enters its flowering stage. Interveinal yellowing of older leaves in a K-deficient crop (C. Asher). Potassium deficiency in plants: ... we summarize the main of these adaptive responses evolved by plants to cope with K+ deficiency in the rhizosphere. Root crops have a high requirement for potassium (K) compared with cereals, as the content of potassium in the harvested roots is high. POTASSIUM DEFICIENCY IN PLANTS. Because of this, it can be challenging to see unique signs and symptoms of potassium deficiency in plants. Tropical Agriculture (Trinidad) 63, 209-211. In general, most potassium deficiencies are caused by one of two culprits: pH issues and low-grade nutrients. Bourke, R.M. Intensification of subsistence agriculture on the Nembi Plateau, Papua New Guinea 2. Mulches of fresh plant material have a higher potassium content than animal manures. In: Akoroda, M.O. The leaves keep on curling and ultimately fall off. 1967. Deficiency symptoms may vary among crops. In: Proceedings of the International Symposium on Tropical Root Crops, Trinidad, Vol. Plants, much like humans, need a certain mix of nutrients to grow healthy and strong. 1978. Symptoms The older leaves become chlorotic, later necrotic, starting from the leaf edges. CO2 fertilization is essential for healthy plant growth. Two applications of potassium are often used, one before planting and one after four weeks of growth, with the fertiliser banded along the row. ACIAR Monograph No. Potassium insufficiency markedly reduces both carbohydrates production in the leaves and their flow into the fruit. Potassium deficiency symptoms are often termed “Hidden Hunger” as plants fail to thrive. 1986. Treatment for potassium deficiency can easily be fixed by dosing your tank with an all-in-one fertilizer. Too much potassium will cause salt damage, calcium and magnesium deficiencies and acidification of the root environment! On older leaves, interveinal patches of necrosis surrounded by yellow areas are also symptomatic of magnesium deficiency. Add potassium in organic form: add a water solution of wood ash, chicken manure or slurry of manure (be careful not to burn the roots). If using hydroponic tubs or bins, this is far less likely to occur but is known to happen on occasion. …, Potassium in plants: Function and Deficiency symptoms, Definition of seed in various points of view, Cucurbitaceae, Gramineae, Solanaceae: General features and economic importance, External Morphology of Tea, Rice, Wheat, Sugarcane, Plant Adaptations: Definition and Classification.

The 2012 Turfgrass and Landscape Research Field Day will start at 7 a.m.
One of the featured tour stops will be a research plot in which 18 plant species grown as landscape groundcovers are being evaluated for their ability to perform with low amounts of water. Dennis Pittenger, UC Cooperative Extension advisor for California’s Central Coast and South Region, and UC Cooperative Extension specialist Donald Merhaut, both based in the Department of Botany & Plant Sciences at UC Riverside, are conducting this study.
“Currently the plant materials are receiving about one-half the amount of water normally required by a tall fescue lawn, and all but three or four species appear to perform acceptably with this limited amount of water,” says Pittenger. “However, we will continue this treatment for another year to gain a full evaluation of these species' response to long-term limited irrigation.”
Residential water use totaled 5.9 million acre feet in 2005. California Assembly Bill 1881 resulted in California enacting an ordinance on January 1, 2010, reducing the evapotranspiration adjustment factor (ETAF) from 0.8 to 0.7 in new landscapes over 2,500 square feet.
David Fujino, executive director of the California Center for Urban Horticulture at UC Davis, Janet Hartin, UC Cooperative Extension advisor for San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties, and Loren Oki, UC Cooperative Extension specialist in the Department of Plant Sciences at UC Davis, received $450,000 from the California Department of Water Resources to reduce water waste and increase the landscape industry’s adoption of the new standard.
With the field assistance of William Baker and Associates, Fujino, Hartin and Oki, along with UC Cooperative Extension advisors Karrie Reid, Chuck Ingels, Mary Bianchi, and Darren Haver are setting up 30 large demonstration sites at publicly and commercially maintained landscape locations throughout the state that exemplify research-based best management practices. A variety of ornamental plants with varying evapotranspiration rates growing under a wide array of plant densities and microclimates are growing at the sites.
Demonstration sites can be seen at the following locations:
- Intel, Folsom
- Franchise Tax Board, Capitol Park, Sacramento,
- Stockton Golf and Country Club
- Woodbridge Golf and Country Club
- Fair Oaks Horticulture Center, Sacramento,
- Mission Oaks Parks and Recreation District, Sacramento
- City of Tracey
- University of California Santa Barbara
- City of Lakewood
- City of Murrieta
- City of Palm Desert
- Thunderbird Country Club, Rancho Mirage
- California Baptist University
- City of Santa Barbara
- City of Lompoc
At the field day, Hartin, an environmental horticulture expert, will talk about best management practices that large public and private landscape and irrigation managers can implement to meet the 0.7 ETAF for landscapes over 2,500 square feet.
Specific practices that she will discuss include hydrozoning (placing plants with similar water needs together), irrigation scheduling based on water requirements of the various zones, optimizing sprinkler system distribution uniformity, drip irrigation when appropriate, weed control and proper use of soil amendments and mulch.
The event will be held at the university’s Turfgrass Research Facility at 1060 Martin Luther King Blvd. in Riverside.
“With the addition of new research areas, UCR now has a state-of-the-art, second-to-none facility to study irrigation and salinity effects on turfgrass and landscape plants,” says James Baird, a UC Cooperative Extension specialist in the Department of Botany and Plant Sciences at UC Riverside, who is leading the field day. “UCR is addressing the challenges of maintaining turf and landscape plants with diminishing water resources by identifying: drought tolerance among new and existing germplasm; commercial products that help save water; and best management practices using recycled and alternate water sources for irrigation.”
Registration for the field day costs $100, which includes lunch. To register, view the agenda or get directions for tomorrow’s field day, go to http://ucanr.org/sites/turfgrassfieldday. | agronomy |

If you want to facilitate or inconvenient gardening work, you can become a close partner with this tool.
What is the garden knee chair?
If you have difficulty lying on the ground to weed, pick strawberries, or perform other gardening tasks, a kneeling chair may be the perfect solution. What are the underground seats in the courtyard? This helps the body descend to the ground and provides cushioning for the knees. In this way, no matter what kind of low tasks can be very comfortable, keep the pants away from stains. There are several types of garden knee pads, but the main purpose is the same. Design, color, and size are the main differences.
If you want a kneeling chair in the garden, you don’t have to be old or disabled. These are lightweight folding benches that can provide very low seating space and can also provide cushioning positions for the knees. The most important thing is that the legs of the stool double as handrails when turning over, helping it rise and fall from the kneeling position.
Some types of gardening chairs provide auxiliary appliances and support to make gardening more comfortable. Another big advantage of these products is that they have extra seats around the campfire, a habitat for the children to bathe, and a footrest for changing the utensils for feeding the birds.
You can get the tools you want at 5startool(www.5startool.com) at the best price.

The tomatoes never made it into the house for the picture—but they tasted great!
Unfortunately, my veggie patch will be fairly sparse this year, but you bet that I have some tomato plants from the King County Master Gardener Plant Sale in May. And I finally got them planted during Memorial Day weekend.
A few years ago I learned to plant my tomatoes by pretty much burying them up to the top leaves. I don’t even prune the lower ones off before covering them with soil. All of the plant that is covered with soil will sprout more root growth, which will help nourish and strengthen the plant. Stronger plant, better produce. Yum.
This year I’m trying a few different types that I hope will do well. The only repeat is the ‘sungold’ cherry tomato. They are incredibly sweet, juicy, and such a pretty golden orange when they are ripe. We liked them so much that I’ve got 2 plants so that some of the fruit that is harvested actually makes it to the salad this year!
Here is a picture of a sungold tomato plant with some fruit on it.
(Do you call it a ‘fruit’ or a ‘vegetable’? That is another topic for another time!)
Another type of indeterminate tomato I’ve chosen to grow this year is the ‘green zebra’. I’m told it has a nice sweet-tart taste, and is a lovely green with yellow stripes when it ripens.
Of course I had to plant a ‘big beef’, a winner when it comes to size and taste. It’s an indeterminate plant that produces a tomato that can’t be beat.
The last type of tomato I’ve planted is ‘northern exposure’. It is a determinate tomato, which ripens in less than 70 days. It is perfect for the short growing season in the PNW.
All of these tomatoes are disease resistant, an important quality for any grown in this cool, damp climate. I’ve planted them in containers (cages will go up later) so I will have added flexibility for changing their location. Right now they are on the south side of the house under the eaves, so they will have the benefit of the warmest spot, most sun, and least moisture on their foliage.
And now, we wait, as Dr Frank-N-Furter/Tim Curry would say, with... | agronomy |

Garlic As An Organic Pesticide
When you think of garlic, you would never think that it is a natural garden pesticide. While many of us cook with garlic, many people have found a multitude of uses, such as a pesticide that is natural and organic and won't put toxins in you and your family, harm the environment, is easy and inexpensive to make.
Yes, it works and No your vegetables won't taste like garlic.
Garlic is a great organic garden pesticide, garlic is actually called an Allium, a bulb type plant that smells. Just as onion is a Allium. There are a few different ways that you can prepare garlic to use as a pesticide.
One way is to chop about 3 - ounces of garlic and soak in mineral oil for one day. You then add 1 teaspoon of fish emulsion, which is great for your plants, mix with 1 pint of water and add it to the garlic mix. Stir and strain, remix with the liquid with 1 part solution to 20 parts water. You have now made your own home made natural garlic pesticide.
Spray your plants at least once a week or more if needed for infestation. Using garlic as an organic pesticide will help ants, aphids, army worms, caterpillars, Colorado beetle, diamondback moth, pulse beetle, whitefly, wireworm, false codling moth, imported cabbage worm, khapra beetle, mice, mites, moles, Mexican bean beetle, peach borers and termites as well as fungi and bacteria.
Since garlic is a broad spectrum natural insecticide . This means that it will kill beneficial insects as well as pests. Try to spray only the affected areas where pests are doing most damage. | agronomy |

Have you ever wondered why the “regular” apple is bigger than the “organic” apple? Or what existed before grocery stores?
Waking up at the crack of dawn, planting tiny seeds smaller than your fingernail and layering compost like lasagna are a few things your local farmer does to provide you with fresh produce. From farm to table, nowadays local growers are making a bigger impact in communities around the world.
When we think of organic foods we usually think of a fruit, grain or vegetable grown without pesticides or any harmful chemicals, but who exactly is growing these types of crops?
Organic products are now available in nearly 20,000 natural food stores and nearly 3 out of 4 conventional grocery stores, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.
With many articles popping up with headlines such as “10 Ways to Eat Healthier,” and “The Truth about Organic Foods” we are sure to see a shift in societies eating habits along with awareness of naturally grown food vs. conventional food.
With the help of local farmers, communities around the world are able to choose their produce and poultry without chemicals that harm both themselves and the environment.
When you go to your local grocery store do you check your labels? Your ingredients? Do you look for tags that say things like “locally grown,” or “grown without antibiotics.”
If not, next time you’re at the store take a quick glance at the random tomato sauce on the self. You may discover the jar with the pretty label is full of everything but tomatoes.
Conventional food follows a standard model here in the United States and unfortunately the food you’re eating might be sprayed with certain herbicides, fungicides or pesticides unless otherwise stated on the package. That’s why your local garden is one of the most sacred places in your community.
For generations our ancestors have grown their own crops and raised their own cattle and more recently we have been getting back to our old traditional ways, with a great uprising of gardens and urban farms popping up in some of the most unexpected places. One of those places is the city of Detroit, the city known for their poverty, violence and bankruptcy. But more recently Detroit has been making a major shift in the food justice community.
Ever since farms like Earthworks Urban Farm, founded in the late 90s and Dtown Farms, which is one of the biggest gardens in the city we have seen an increase in farmland.
Detroit communities are working together to bring food equality to the people. In many ways than one, an urban garden is one way to uplift any community that lacks food equality and passion. Not only is a farm a nice way to learn how to grow food but it also brings people together, in a unified way to spread one common goal.
There is not just one person behind the development of the gardens in Detroit, there are hundreds of people that grace the land and lend a helping hand from all around the world.
There is something about dipping your hands in warm soil that you cultivated through the compost process. Turning your scraps from last night’s dinner into fertilizer for the soil your plants grow in. | agronomy |

The Sierra Norte Story
The Sierra Norte Mountains of Oaxaca Mexico, with their profuse flora, abundant wildlife, and crystal clear, flowing waters, support some of the world’s most treasured biodiversity. More than any crop, corn embodies the life-giving relationship between these ancient mountains and their inhabitants. Descendants of the region’s first farmers continue replanting the best seeds from each harvest, as they and their ancestors have done for over 7,000 years.
Sierra Norte distilling started with Master Distiller Douglas French’s passion to use different varieties of this ancient, flavorful Oaxacan corn to make a series of unique, outstanding whiskies. Each variety is distilled separately and matured in French Oak casks, so as to showcase its individual character and nuance.
Oaxaca’s indigenous people have a long history. Their civilization is thousands of years old.
There are 8 regions in Oaxaca and they all join together in the capital, Oaxaca City. Doug French’s distillery is in San Agustin de las Juntas in the outskirts of the capital. This is where Sierra Norte Whiskey is distilled and matured into fine whiskey.
Doug coordinates with traditional farmers from various regions to plant and harvest the ancestral corn. Unfortunately for the traditional farmers in today’s world, the dedication to sustaining the ancestral corns and farming is not competitive with GMO farming. So, the traditional heirloom corn, the people, and their culture are dying because they are not economically viable.
The ancestral corn is sold locally in the villages for making tortillas and tamales. As people leave the villages to immigrate north looking for jobs, the market for heirloom corn shrinks and the farmers also immigrate north looking for jobs.
Doug has developed a great corn whiskey recipe and production system. He buys the heirloom corn from the farmers at a fair price, so that they can earn a good wage and continue to live on their farms.
Doug sells the whiskey in the Global market, where it competes with all the other fine and outstanding whiskies of the world. Ultimately, this income comes back to Oaxaca and the life cycle of sustainability is complete. | agronomy |

WAITAKI VALLEY - NORTH OTAGO
Otago’s early Scottish settlers used scarecrows or “tattyboglers” as they called them, to protect their precious crops from the hungry and unfamiliar New Zealand birdlife. Today, that success is celebrated in the raffish image of our own Tattybogler, whose spirit still guards the vineyards of the region.
Cocooned by mountains on all sides, the Waitaki Valley wine-growing region lies 40km inland from the Pacific Ocean on the southern flanks of the Waitaki River. Our warm north west sloping vineyard consists of ancient white limestone soils, inter-layered with river gravels, allowing grapes to truly ripen in this southerly latitude.
Pale straw in colour, the wine shows subtle floral aromas, honeysuckle and fresh ground nutmeg, while Turkish apricot, pear and quince carry through to the palate. The wine has great texture, demonstrating the rich limestone soils famous in this region -its crisp, chalky mineral palate, fleshed out by a creamy oaty oak barrel component. Just delicious. | agronomy |

AbstractSummary: The aim of this study was to analyse the associations among the K232A polymorphism in the diacylglycerol acyltransferase1 (DGAT1) gene and L127V polymorphism in the bovine growth hormone (GH1) gene and milk yield in Holstein cows. A total of 281 first and second lactation Holstein cows from three different dairy cattle farms in the Burdur and Kayseri provinces of Turkey were included in this study. The PCR-RFLP method was used for DGAT1 and GH1 genotyping. The frequencies of genotypes and alleles of GH1 gene were found to be 0.78 for LL, 0.18 for LV and 0.04 for VV; 0.87 for the L allele and 0.13 for the V allele. The frequencies of genotypes and alleles of the DGAT1 gene were to be 0.61 for AA, 0.30 for KA and 0.09 for KK; 0.76 for the A allele and 0.24 for the K allele. No relations were found between DGAT1-K232A genotypes and the average milk yield in the first three lactations. However, an association between GH1-L127V polymorphism and the average milk yield of Holstein cows was found in the first three lactations. Cows with LL genotype had higher milk yield compared to LV and VV cows (P<0.05).

Active investment in agriculture is the main lever for the development of this industry. The object of research in the work is agriculture of the Transbaikal Region. The subject of the research is the features and socio-economic conditions of investment activity in agriculture of the Transbaikal Region. The development of agriculture in the regions is determined by a number of factors, including increasing the investment attractiveness of the industry. Therefore, the purpose of the research is to assess the investment support for the development of agriculture in the Transbaikal Region, identify the main problems and develop proposals to improve the efficiency of the investments’ use. The objectives of the research are to study the dynamics of the development of agriculture in the region; to identify the main dynamic trends of investment in the industry; determining the impact of investments on the economic dynamics (growth) of agriculture, as well as determining the main problems and features of investment processes in the industry. The paper reveals that the agriculture of the region is not very attractive for private investors, and the low profitability and unprofitability of agricultural organizations does not allow financing investments at the expense of profit. Therefore, state support today remains the main source of survival of agricultural organizations in the Transbaikal Region. However, there are grounds to assume that state support is ineffective. Currently, subsidies and compensations represent a kind of lever by which the state attempts to keep unprofitable farms \"afloat\", but their number continues to grow. With such a nature of state support, low production efficiency is preserved, and there are no hopes for the creation of modern agriculture. The methodology and methods of the research are based on the application of economic and statistical research methods, official data of the Federal State Statistics Service

Having embraced a vegan way of life for over ten years, she utilizes her experiences to enlighten others. Sabrina enjoys the challenge of crafting plant-based meals and shares her culinary innovations with the members of Lonely Vegan community.
Absolutely not! As a vegan, you have the power to take control of your own food choices and create a sustainable and compassionate lifestyle. While farmers and grocery store chains play a role in providing vegan options, there are plenty of ways to source your food independently and support local businesses.
One of the beautiful aspects of being vegan is the abundance of plant-based foods available to us. Fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds are all staples of a vegan diet and can be found at farmers' markets, community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs, and even in your own backyard if you have a green thumb. By purchasing directly from local farmers or growing your own produce, you can reduce your reliance on grocery store chains and support sustainable agriculture practices.
Additionally, many grocery store chains now offer a wide variety of vegan products, making it easier than ever to find plant-based alternatives to your favorite foods. From dairy-free milks and cheeses to plant-based meats and desserts, these options can be a convenient part of a vegan lifestyle. However, it's important to remember that relying solely on processed vegan products may not be the healthiest choice. Incorporating whole, unprocessed foods into your diet is key to maintaining a balanced and nutritious vegan lifestyle.
To stay vegan without relying solely on farmers and grocery store chains, here are a few tips:
1. Explore local farmers' markets: Visit your nearest farmers' market to discover fresh, seasonal produce and support local farmers. Not only will you find a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, but you may also come across unique plant-based products like homemade vegan cheeses or artisanal breads.
2. Join a CSA: Community-supported agriculture programs allow you to purchase a share of a local farm's harvest. Each week or month, you'll receive a box of fresh, organic produce directly from the farm. This not only supports local farmers but also ensures you have a steady supply of fresh, seasonal vegetables.
3. Grow your own food: If you have the space and time, consider starting your own garden. Growing your own fruits, vegetables, and herbs is not only rewarding but also allows you to have complete control over the quality and sustainability of your food.
4. Get creative in the kitchen: Experiment with homemade vegan recipes using simple, whole ingredients. There are countless online resources, including Lonely Vegan, where you can find delicious and nutritious vegan recipes. From mouthwatering desserts to hearty main dishes, you'll discover a world of culinary possibilities that don't rely on store-bought products.
Remember, being vegan is about more than just the food we eat. It's a lifestyle that promotes compassion, sustainability, and conscious choices. By exploring alternative food sources and supporting local farmers, you can take charge of your vegan journey and make a positive impact on the world around you. | agronomy |

The term was coined in 1957 by Goldberg and Davis. It includes agrichemicals, breeding, crop production (farming and contract farming), distribution, farm machinery, processing, and seed supply, as well as marketing and retail sales. All agents of the food and fiber value chain and those institutions that influence it are part of the agribusiness system.
Within the agriculture industry, "agribusiness" is used simply as a portmanteau of agriculture and business, referring to the range of activities and disciplines encompassed by modern food production. There are academic degrees in and departments of agribusiness, agribusiness trade associations, agribusiness publications, and so forth, worldwide.
In the context of agribusiness management in academia, each individual element of agriculture production and distribution may be described as agribusinesses. However, the term "agribusiness" most often emphasizes the "interdependence" of these various sectors within the production chain.
Among critics of large-scale, industrialized, vertically integrated food production, the term agribusiness is used negatively, synonymous with corporate farming. As such, it is often contrasted with smaller family-owned farms. Although recent trends have seen Agribusiness firms with an ethical drive, such as Caspian Farming who's goal is to push towards low impact farming and sustainable development. | agronomy |

A range of commonly discarded waste products can work wonders in the garden and some can even help to repel pests.
Cacao husks can help trap heat and moisture in the soil, while delivering phosphorus and nitrogen for strength and fast growth. Tomatoes love them but remember that your dog won’t.
Banana Peels help repel aphids, which hate the taste of them. Sections of peel should be buried around an inch below the soil surface. Whole peels shouldn’t be used as these are likely to attract rats and other large pests.
Crushed eggshells sprinkled onto the soil can deter slugs and other insects, which dislike crawling over their serrated edges. They can also be added to a compost heap where they quickly release calcium and break down.
Peanut and pistachio nut shells are useful in compost as they can vary its thickness which will assist in aerating the soil. They should be washed to remove salt, which is toxic to plants. Walnuts should also not be used as they contain juglone, which is also harmful to plants.

Build a Terrarium to Bring The Outdoors In, Without the Pollen Allergies
What do you do if you have a green thumb and a red nose from plant allergies? Try making a terrarium. They’re easy to maintain, require little maintenance and, best of all, they provide beautiful greenery indoors through the colder months.
Terrariums fall into two general categories:
1. Open: can tolerate some direct sunlight. However, too much sun may burn leaves that are in direct contact with the sides of the container.
2. Closed: A closed terrarium can also be an open terrarium to which a cover has been added. Closed terrariums should be placed where they will receive bright light, but no direct sunlight. If placed in direct sunlight, the temperature inside the container rises considerably and literally cooks the plants.
Pick Your Plants
Finding the right plants for your terrarium takes a bit of planning. Make sure you pick plants that all thrive in the same environment. Slow growing plants work best. A ground cover will complete the picture.
Select a Container
Choosing the right container for your closed terrarium can be great fun. Use an old glass vase or go thrift shopping for some charming and relatively inexpensive options. There are some basic requirements to keep in mind; a terrarium must be made of glass or some material that lets light. If you have light loving plants, pick an open container. If you have plants that like a more humid environment, choose something with a lid. Makes sure you clean the container thoroughly to prevent contamination and mold from growing.
A terrarium does not have drainage hole so you’ll need to create a drainage layer to prevent damage to the plant roots. Use river gravel, stones or broken pottery to form a layer that is 1 to 4 inches, depending upon the size of your container. Then add a thin coating of charcoal on top to help keep the soil fresh.
Try to use plenty of soil that is rich in nutrients. It should be deep enough to dig a hole that easily fits a plant’s root ball. Plant in order of largest to smallest, with ground cover being last. Add cute figurines or decorations for some personality.
Live Long and Prosper
Terrariums typically require little to no maintenance but there are a few things to be aware of.
Heat – A terrarium traps heat. Make sure you don’t put yours on a radiator or in direct sunlight.
Light – Diffused or filtered light works best. Keep an eye on your plants. If the leaves are developing burn spots, they’re getting too much direct sunlight. If their stems are thin and no longer supporting leaves, you should move your terrarium into a brighter room.
If you suffer from allergies, choose hypoallergenic plants with bright flowers for your terrarium or garden – they’ll have the biggest visual impact and they also have low allergy ratings. | agronomy |

And thy medicine shall be thy food - Hippocrates
WHY MILLET FOOD PRODUCTS?
Millet foods are called as “Healthiest food”, “Next generation smart food” or “super-foods”. Traditionally, millets have been major staple food in Indian society for centuries. Millets are rich in protein, fiber, antioxidants, vitamin-B and micronutrients
(calcium, iron, potassium, zinc and magnesium). Millet foods were part of our grandparents diet. The common millets are:
The protein content of most millet is equivalent to protein content of Quinoa, a popular plant protein-rich grain that cost around Rs 1000/kg. More importantly, millets have highest content of fiber among the cereals grains. Based on the fiber
content, Dr Khadar Valli, a scientist cum nutritionist and also known as “Millet man” has classified the millets as positive, neutral and negative based on the health benefits. Five millets namely Foxtail, Kodo, Barnyard, Little millet and Brown top, which are known as “Siridhanya (Miracle grains)” were grouped as positive millets because of higher fiber content (>10) and low-glycemic index. Whereas polished rice and wheat were grouped as negative millets because of very low fiber and high glycemic index; and others millets were grouped as neutral millets. Dr Khadar Valli has delivered several public health lectures on the health benefits of millets on youtube
Millets are grown organically and helps in agriculture sustainability
Besides nutritional value, millets are resilient (less sensitive) to climate
change (e.g., high temperatures and low monsoon rainfall) and thereby help
in sustaining agriculture. Rice farming requires 2.5 times more water than
millet farming (siridhyana). This immensely helps the farmer in dry regions
with scanty rainfall to sustain millet farming. More importantly, millet farming
is totally organic because no pesticides and fumigants are applied.
As per Indian Institute of Millet research, India and other researchers, the
following are proven health benefits of millet foods- | agronomy |

Buying and preserving wines in the right way
Identify the different wine distribution and buying and selling channels. Become familiar with the main wine-related information channels and know the ideal conditions in which wines should be stored in order to keep them in a perfect state of conservation.
In the Diploma in Viticulture and Wine Tasting you will learn how to choose a bottle correctly. We recommend that you select correctly with questions such as: do you want to venture into new horizons or do you want a wine that is familiar to you? is it for a special occasion or for everyday consumption? or is it a wine for personal consumption or to sell in a restaurant? Yes, it is.you keep the above in mind, you will be able to make appropriate purchases for special occasions.
Learn about viticulture
Organic viticulture promotes respect for the crop allowing a symbiosis with its environment, favoring the enrichment of biodiversity. Generate self-sustainable ecosystems through recycling, use and development of their own agro-inputs, in addition to the incorporation of biological controls of pests and diseases.
In the diploma course you will learn all about viticulture, identifying the basics of organic farming, work in the vineyard and its objectives. as well as an understanding of organic and biodynamic trends in wine grape production.
Discover the function of ampelography and how it describes the varieties
From the Greek "ampelos"-vine and "grafos"-classification, ampelography is the science that deals with the study, description and identification of the vine, its varieties and fruits. Studying it in the Diploma in Viticulture and Wine Tasting has advantages such as being able to classify and identify each variety that, although it is called differently according to the country, it is possible to identify it.An experienced ampelographer is able to recognize each variety of vine by the characteristics of the lobes and veins of each one. In a complementary way, it is supported by observing the characteristics in size and shape of buds, clusters and berries.
Meet the new technology: the wine cellar
Previously, in Roman times, wooden barrels were used to store wines and facilitate their transport. Although little was understood about their chemical changes, the contribution of wood in the organoleptic characteristics of wine and its clear evolution was evident the longer it spent inside a barrel.
These empirical observations gave birth to the technique of aging wine in wooden barrels, a practice that is considered relatively modern. Over time, a clearer understanding of the interaction between wine and wood has been achieved. With the diploma course you will be able to recognize the current panorama of new oenological technologies and the way in which they are being applied in the wine industry.From this, research continues on the maturation processes and how they affect the sensory characteristics of the wine, the contact with oxygen and the changes that this beverage undergoes with time and ageing.
Enter the world of wine and wine tasting
Wine is an alcoholic beverage obtained by fermentation, a natural process of chemical transformation of sugar into alcohol by microorganisms called yeasts. It can be obtained from any fruit, however the main species for its production is the Vitis vinifera, whose domestic use began some ten thousand years ago. Wine tasting is the science and art oftaste, judge and enjoy the wine.
Find out about international wine tasting competitions
Learn how to identify the different scoring systems used to assess wine quality by analyzing the current landscape of the industry's most important international competitions. There are different ways to professionally and objectively score wines. If you want to be a wine taster, you need to understand what judges see in a competition:must look beyond a hedonic judgment, which requires a comprehensive preparation in the processes of elaboration, sensory evaluation and the different scoring scales determined by each system according to the weighting in its different stages and characteristics.
Cocktails and wine: the perfect combination
Wines play an important role in international cocktails. In this course we teach you how to generate the best combinations from their classification and all the terminology and technicalities related to oenology, from glassware, equipment, utensils, accessories, to the types of alcoholic drinks and creams that you can mix with wines.
Learn about the wines of the world:
Identify the characteristics of each of the wine regions of the country, considering the type of wine they produce and the legal framework that regulates this activity.
The wines that come from France contain a historical world that you will learn about in the Diploma to understand how they have determined the legislation and the oenological production of the country.
The key to wine production in Italy lies in the variety of grapes, according to the wine growing regions throughout the country. In this module you will learn about their classification, the producing regions, the legislation, their history, among other general characteristics of Italian winemaking.
As in Italy and France, Spanish wines have a history that has determined the development of the industry. In this module of the Diploma in Viticulture and Wine Tasting you will learn about the main wine producing regions and the way in which wine is produced and elaborated; geographical factors that intervene in this process: soil and climate; plus the human factors like theexperience and workforce.
Wines of Mexico
Mexico has been one of the Latin American countries that has consistently won international awards, which makes its history enchanting. In this module you will learn about the country's history and how it has influenced important people to excel in the industry.
Get to know the vine and its characteristics
In the diploma course you will be able to identify the morphology, biological cycle of the vine and the grape, as well as the main grape varieties and their descriptors in relation to wine, and the factors that influence its maturation, quantity and quality to offer an excellent service in wine tasting, and you will also learn through tasting, the characteristics of some of the most emblematic grape varieties.
Wine is made from the vine, a woody, climbing shrub of temperate climate, in particular the species Vitis vinifera, domesticated eight millennia ago. It is considered that there are about 10,000 varieties of this plant, called vines, scattered throughout much of the world, especially the lands between 30° and 50° latitude. It is important that you know how wine is made,to understand, later on, the reason for their flavours, how the grapes ripen, what factors can alter their taste, quantity and quality of the harvest.

Outdoor storage shed – Exit the buildings of character. Badly arranged, too complicated. It’s time to find the right place to store your garden tools so they are in top shape for spring. Although it often rains in the summer, you can easily have tools and planting tables outside as long as they are sheltered. But in the winter, when it is more cold, rainy and windy, it is a good idea to pack your things away from the garden and place them in a shed, garage or utility room so that they can stand dry and frost-free during the cold time .
One of the best solutions for storing garden tools is a shed for the purpose – you can either build it yourself, use a room in the garage or buy a finished shed in a building market. When your tools have enough space, they can hang up.
It’s good for them, and you can easily see what you have and what condition the tools are in. In a shed you can hang gear on the walls and place cleaned jars on shelves, and the mower and wheelbarrow can stay on the floor. If you like space and space, you can make a cozy corner where you can sit and plant in shelter for wind and weather when it is spring. | agronomy |

here's how you can make them last forever
plant your first batch of seeds, and water away.
let these little beauties grow, bloom, and at the end of the season the tops will dry out into little alien looking flowers. harvest all of those curly dried seeds, and plant again, or store for a later date.
...and the cycle continues.
these flowers would be great surrounding a garden bed, in our very own FREE HOUSE planter boxes, or anywhere you need a pop of color. this could also be a great garden project for the kids.
plant, water, and harvest some very hardy flowers that will keep on giving.

The dramatic increase in the price of fuel in recent years has succeeded where many environmental groups have failed: It convinced many firms around the world to seek alternative sources of energy. One of the cheapest alternatives, already commercially available, is the production of fuel from a variety of agricultural produce, mostly corn.
However, the increase in the demand for corn has also caused a significant price hike and developing nations’ populations are experiencing difficulties obtaining corn for consumption.
It is now possible that new technology may offer a solution to the problem, which Israeli firm Seambiotic Ltd. revealed earlier this week. The technology allows the production of commercial quantities of fuel from a surprising source, one that will not undermine global food sources: seaweed. CONTINUE | agronomy |

The agriculture sector extends beyond the bounds of business, it is a way of life. In addition to facing the challenges and pressures faced by other sectors, there are external, uncontrollable factors that are unique to agricultural businesses.
MHA conducted a survey at the recent LAMMA 2016 show which identified the issues currently facing the agricultural sector. This report builds on similar surveys carried out at Lamma and Cereals over the last two years and is based on over 80 responses from farmers about their concerns for the coming year. The findings will no doubt prove insightful, identifying the key expectations and concerns of those in the agriculture sector as we move further away from the effects of the recession.
Key trends consistent with last years results include:
Continued desire for growth and diversification, but less optimism than in 2015.
A slight decrease in the number of those undertaking cooperative farming arrangements.
A growing concern about succession planning and handing down the business.
Continued confidence among respondents in approaching their accountant as their main source of guidance and support.
At MHA our knowledge of the sector is second to none. We have significant years of experience of acting for agricultural businesses of all sizes. Collectively, we act for over 1,600 agriculture clients. Our team of specialists take the time to understand the challenges facing the sector and apply this understanding in order to cater to the unique case of each client.

Over the first week or so in July, we will be thinning out the plots and getting rid of those plants which are at their end or nearing their end. Although the plots provided well, one of the lessons learnt was to maybe not plant as much in each plot, and the best place for ground crops is at ground level or they will take over. The rest of the space which is at present not used will be evaluated and decisions made on what to do with them. If you have a particular plant or want to just experiment and not have a plot, we have 7 and 15 gallon planters which can house a number of plants. Just let me know and we can get them ready for you. There are a number of wonderful documents available at The University of Florida website which help out with gardens. Thanks for pointing us in that direction, Janet Troxell. Florida Vegetable Gardening Guide http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/vh021 This document makes for great reading in all aspects of maintaining a garden. It also gives a Planting Guide for Florida Vegetables which we will be consulting for our new crop rotation in the fall. Take care and see you in the Garden……..soon.Okra We are presently in that ‘in between time’ in the garden whereby some of the plots have been cleared out for the next planting; some are holding on to the last vestiges of the first crops. Progressively over the month of August, all the plots will be cleared and the Fall crop will be planted for those plots growing vegetables. Flowers/shrubs We still have a number of flowering plants that catch the attention of insects and butterflies passing overhead. It’s great to simply sit on the nearby picnic table and quietly contemplate under the shade of the magnolia tree, disturbed by nothing more than the flash of color of a butterfly. Olive Tree On the west side of the garden area, we have planted two Arbequina olive trees as we look to create a space for common plants and trees between Florida and the Middle East. Look for scriptural references in the near future linking the flora with the Bible. Better still, bring your suggestions of scripture that might be distributed around the garden space that would add to the ambience, as well as the edification of those who walk and work there. I know it is hard to believe, but cooler weather does seem to have arrived and with it comes a different ‘season’ in the garden. Fall crops have now been planted in many of the plots, a couple of them are lying fallow and two are flower focused and are producing a blaze of color and attracting pollinators. If you have been up to the garden recently, you may have noticed that the Passion Vines, which had set up home on the east fence between the school and the garden have gone. They had to be taken down, as the weight of them began to impact the fence and it simply became a safety issue regarding the integrity of the fence. Our lesson learned is to not do that again, but instead to provision trellises and have the vines grow on them, as they are great fall food for the butterflies. As mentioned last month, we did sustain a little damage from the hurricane, but other than that, the garden stood up very well. It meant a fair amount of cleanup, which continued last week with a team raking, weeding, and moving the large amount of potted plants we had along the fence lines. If you haven’t already been up there, go take a look. This month we solicit the congregation’s input. We would like you to share scriptures which come to mind with your memories about being in your own garden. We would like to place scriptures around the garden so those who work in there can call them to mind as they toil. Grace and peace to one and all…….. | agronomy |

The ultimate goal is to improve a nonprofit’s facility to minimize environmental impact and increase the cost-efficiency of operations, making the financial savings available to be put back into the nonprofit’s mission.
The SAE School applied for, and received, an Energy and Water Assessment from Grants to Green. Our Assessment Award was not a cash grant, rather, a service performed by Southface– an organization that conducts assessments for existing or planned facilities and recommends opportunities to optimize operations, particularly related to energy and water use.
This gardening and outdoor project is shaped around engaging fourth grade students in inquiry-based education. Fourth graders have an opportunity to learn how to design and maintain an outdoor garden. Speakers such as a Forest Service Soil Scientist discuss soil water relationships and water conservation measures with students. Students learn the components of soil and about how water flows through various soil types. Pollinators will be introduced. Additionally, students will research and learn about composting and other waste reduction approaches associated with gardening. Students will also explore various types of gardening irrigation systems and opportunities to use renewable resources as they implement this project. Finally, students will learn from a local pediatrician how gardening and practicing healthy eating will ultimately improve quality of life. During the various stages of the project, The SAE Students will document their journey and use social media and other technology to share their knowledge with their peers in underserved communities. Students will develop documentaries and digital presentations that reteach concepts learned from presentations on soil degradation, water harvesting or conservation, moisture retention, the importance of remaining active and the positive impact on health, academic achievement and weight management. They will engage Pre-K and other grade level students at The SAE School in side-by-side gardening and plant maintenance. | agronomy |

We also wish you, on behalf of the management and the back office, a healthy and happy 2018.
Change of name
On 1 January 2018, a name change took place. DTRF was changed into TURF (Turfgrass University Research Foundation).
Appointment of Professor
With the appointment of Professor Bernd R. Leinauer as Professor by special appointment for Turfgrass Ecology at Wageningen University, a significant step was taken by involving science in the research and development towards sustainable management and the construction of sports fields. Wageningen University searched worldwide for a suitable candidate who would meet the strict requirements in the fields of education and research. This was not easy. It is therefore really fortunate that Professor Leinauer (email: [email protected]) is both eminently capable and also willing to fill this exceptional position in Europe. Read more >>>
The first (DTRF) Knowledge day took place on 8 December in the Maitland theatre at Landgoed De Baak in Driebergen-Rijsenburg. It was a day in which knowledge and experiences were shared. The link between theory and practice also provided inspiration. ‘It is good that science has reached out towards practice today, as it were’, says Pieters Aalders, Chairman of DTRF and one of the people who made the appointment of the Professor possible. The presentations of the four speakers can be downloaded via this link.
The National Golf & Green Symposium, which took place on 7 December, has developed into an annually recurring day in which knowledge and experiences are shared. The good mix of theory and practice also provided considerable inspiration this year, too. With over 250 participants, the fifth edition of this symposium, a joint initiative by the NGF, NVG, NGA and DTRF, attracted more visitors than last year. Proof that the golf market has a strong need to exchange knowledge and experience in a time of transition. The report can be downloaded here.
The scientific literature study ‘To identify alternatives for the use of chemical amenities on turfgrass systems' from Wageningen University is the first sub-study of the project: ‘Guidelines for Chemistry-free Turfgrass Sports Fields’ and for the Green Deal. The research will analyse which pests, diseases and weeds are common in turfgrass sports fields in the Netherlands, under what specific conditions they develop into unmanageable problems, under what conditions there are few, if any, problems, and what package of measures is available to deter, suppress and, where necessary, control them using fewer chemicals. The literature study and the summary can be downloaded via this link.
Appointment of PhD student Daniel Hahn to research weed control
On 1 September, Daniel Hahn MSc (GE) started doctoral research into the formation, prevention and sustainable control of weeds. On the one hand, the research focuses on allelopathy. This concerns research into inhibitory substances against weeds. In addition, the research focuses on the development of management strategies for improving plant health and increasing the allelopathic capacity of desired grasses. The investigation is expected to take four years, with progress and the stage of investigation being published regularly. The research will take place in the WUR laboratories and on sports fields and golf courses. Supervisors are, among others, Professor Bernd Leinauer and Professor Struik. The description of the research can be downloaded here.
Doctoral research Ian Ouwerkerk MSc and Daniel van der Kraats MSc, the influence of salinisation on golfcourses
IIn the autumn, research started on salinisation on golf courses and its impact on soil, water management and plant growth. Daniel van der Kraats will focus on soil and water management and Ian Ouwerkerk on the influence on grass species. A start has now been made on the construction of an extensive trial field at the International Golf Club. The study also includes the possible soil structures and soil composition of greens. The University of Twenthe is also involved in the study. Supervisors are, among others, Professor Coen Ritsema and Professor Bernd Leinauer. The investigation is expected to take at least four years. We will keep you informed of the progress and, in due course, will give interested parties an opportunity to visit the trial field.
This year, a change took place in the DTRF's Board. Vice-Chairman Ms Marieke van Rhijn has resigned. She has been replaced by Maarten Delfortrie MSc. As a member of the Greens Committee at the Noordwijk GC, Maarten has carried out a great deal of research into the improvement of greens. Furthermore, at the end of February 2018, Pieter Aalders will hand over his Chairman’s gavel to Geert Ensing MSc (see photo). Geert graduated in Wageningen and was a Member and Chairman of the Rozenstein Golf Club in Wassenaar. Finally, emeritus Professor (Pierre) J.G.M.de Wit (WUR) will play an advisory role within the DTRF. Among other things, he carried out research into molecular phytopatholgia, molecular communication between phytopathogenic fungi and their host plants and immune reactions in plants against fungi. He is also a member of the Greens Committee of Golfclub Heelsum.

Hi I am starting a project of trying to protect wild seedling apple trees or ones that may be growing that don’t get any attention and trying to protect our heritage varieties around the Hawke’s bay. If anyone knows of any apple trees that they have been found on walks or farms or properties or old orchards that are neglected that could be grafted and helped to keep going. Please I would really like to know and try to protect these. I would appreciate any help. And if you could pass on to friends and others around our district that would be great. Thanks lots.

Your first questions is likely “what are gourmet strawberries”. If you conduct a search online for those terms you will see many “hits” with chocolate covered strawberries. I have to admit that such strawberries are decadent and too sweet for my diabetic body. It’s a shame that hybrid strawberries have to be dipped in chocolate or smothered in sugar to make them palatable. The gourmet strawberries we are talking about and selling here are a completely different species from those you typically buy in the produce market or grocery store. There are several species that we consider gourmet but the main one is Fragaria vesca. This is also known as the alpine strawberry, fraises des bois or woodland strawberry.
We feature a number of cultivars of alpine strawberries. Our favorite is Fragaria vesca ‘Pineapple Crush’. Here’s a photo of a handful of fruit of this cultivar:
Recently, we had an offshore customer tell us this: “It’s no wonder there are pineapple crush groupies as the flavour is incredible. Everyone who samples the alpines in my patch (i grow 8 different varieties) is astonished by the superior flavour of pineapple crush”.
We have descriptions of all of our cultivars at other sites. We will bring those descriptions to this site asap. Suffice it to say, alpine strawberries have incredible flavor and aroma.
We should point out that alpines have very unique growing habits. They produce few to no runners. Rather, they produce a clump of stolons (growing points) that form the clump. Each stolon has the potential to produce a bloom stalk with flowers that when pollinated will produce a berry. The older the plant the more stolons. The more stolons the more berries.
For years we have been trying to locate an purchase packaging that will secure plugs or plants during transit to our customers. One of the criteria for selecting packaging was also efficiency in packaging. This is important because labor is a major expense in packaging and one that increase the cost to you the customer. We recently located such packaging for what we call 51 plugs. These plugs are small plants grown in a tray of 51, thus its name. The packaging allows us to ship six plants per blisterpak as it’s called. Packaging 6 plants per pak gives you more flexibility in the cultivars that you will purchase since alpines are available in red, white and yellow fruiting types. | agronomy |

Tyndis offers best Wayanad tour that features ‘a day with farmer in Kerala‘. Read this blog to know more about Tyndis Wayanad Village Tour.
Cheruvayal is a serene village situated near Mananthavady in Wayanad. The village is caressed by the Kabani River. Cheruvayal is today famous in the name of Cheruvayal Raman, a farmer from the village. Cheruvayal is not just a beautiful village but is gifted with hardworking farmers and skilled artisans. Visiting Cheruvayal is one of the best Wayanad Tour features by Wayanad Tourism.
The village features long stretches of lush green paddy fields. To understand the life of a native farmer; Ayush, Sohan and I (Ayush is a videographer, Sohal – a translator and I was the interviewer) representing Tyndis Heritage decided to visit Cheruvayal Raman’s 150-year-old farmhouse in Wayanad. We had the Wayanad Village Tour named ‘a day with farmer in Kerala‘, featured by Wayanad Tourism. It is one of the best Responsible Tourism initiatives in Wayanad.
When we reached Cheruvaya Raman’s home, he was engaged in his daily chores. Seeing us, he took a break from all the work and greeted us with a pleasant smile. He led us inside his farmhouse. A day with farmer in Kerala is a complete farmhouse Wayanad Tourism Village Tour. It is regarded to be the best Wayanad Tour for experiential travel under Wayanad Tourism.
A Cheruvayal Raman’s farm, we saw dry fodder for the cattle that stood tall as it was heaped into a conical shape. To save water, a trail was designed for dispersing water to all the plants. This method of watering also ensures that the soil receives less pressure reducing the chances of a mudslide. We walked past his farm towards his home.
The walkway in front of the house was made of cow dung-coated mud floors. The floor coated with cow dung and mud has several benefits. Cow dung acts as a natural insect repellant. The anti-bacterial property in it prevents us from many diseases and the floor remains warm in winters and cold in summers.
His family welcomed us in with great pleasure. We were overwhelmed with joy just by the thought that we were standing in a 150-year-old home, a house built in those times when the British were foot marching on our soil. The architecture of the mud house with bronze roofing was quite popular in those times. In the same compound, there was another house (slightly smaller) for his daughter and family.
Bang opposite his house was the cowshed and the storehouse for stocking timber to use for firewood. It is here that he stores the seeds too. Over the years, Raman has developed over 50 varieties of paddy in Wayanad. He preserves the seeds in special shelters and gives it to villagers nearby. The seeds are stored in a pine-like structure made of cattle fodder and soil. There were about six of them put together. Raman showed us the token of recognition that he received from various associations for his contribution to farming.
After showing us his farm and house he took us to the green paddy fields where a variety of them are growing strong swaying with the wind. Finally, we sat together in his home and he began describing his family background. He belonged to the ‘Kurichiya Tribe’, a prominent tribe in the Wayanad district. The tribe takes pride in preserving their ethnicity as they were successors of ‘Thalackal Chanthu’, the tribe leader who led the guerilla warfare against the British alongside Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja. They were a tribe known for their expertise in weaponry and archery.
In this Wayanad Tourism Village Experience, we spent more than 3 hours talking with Cheruvayal Raman. He enjoyed sharing his experiences with us as much as we enjoyed listening to him. Thereafter, we had lunch together – a typical lunch had by the farming community of watery rice gruel, tapioca and spicy pickle.
Finally, as we bid him goodbye, Raman was smiling with a sense of gratitude for hearing him out and for recognizing his efforts. He hopes his story may inspire younger people to take up farming as a serious profession and respect their job. Without a doubt, ‘a day with farmer in Kerala‘ Wayanad Tourism Village Tour is one of the best avenues to people looking for Wayanad Tourism Experiences. Check out a similar experience of ‘a day with farmer in Kerala‘ in Kasaragod. | agronomy |

To plant a perfect kitchen garden, you must have the right kind of tools to care for it. Similar to nurturing a baby, farming, by all means, requires the same level of patience and care, with each stage desiring different degrees of care. Only now, are people more conscious and eager to understand where their food comes from: was it treated right? Was it washed with pesticides causing it to lose all nutritional value? So on and so forth. As a substitute to this fear, there is a tremendous increase in people turning to their patio, backyards, and garden areas to grow thriving produce of fruits and vegetables. ShopWise lists 10 of the best available options to enhance the farmer in you.
Kitchen gardens can be set up anywhere, with pots, bottles, cans, boxes and crates. What is important, however, is that the plant must have the right light exposure, ventilation and soil. In case you don’t have enough space at your home to create a kitchen garden check out these smart rectangular pots available on Amazon. This product has great depth for the roots to flourish, and also harbour more than two or three varieties at a time.
Additionally, you can drill nails and create space for a vertical hanging garden; and yes, you can plant vegetables and fruits in a hanging pot! They’re just as pretty as flower pots, but will quite ideally, and literally, meet the “fruit of labour” clause. You can purchase the hanging pots and vertical garden pots on Amazon.com
- Right soil
Only if your soil is fertilized, will the plant grow to its fullest potential. Having the right kind of soil is the foundation of farming. Check out the Ugaooo Brand vermicompost that is a rich supplement for the soil.
- Plant Seeds
Once you have the right space and soil ready, it’s essential you promptly study what kind of garden you require. Do you need fast growing vegetables? Or perhaps an organic variety of vegetables? Ensure to research the kind of fruit you wish to grow, and check to see it’s compatible to grow in the climate of your region – and check for alternatives!

This is done to ensure the seedlings have an uninterrupted initial growth of sprouting and rooting. These saplings are maintained in seedlings trays. Each tray provides 30 to 50 small pots where the seeds are kept for gemination. Once they have a solid root length and stronger stem, they are transferred to bigger pots. You can purchase these seedling trays on Amazon. Click here for more details.

Farmers in nearly half of Alabama’s counties will be eligible for low-interest federal loans as a result of a drought emergency declaration by U.S. Agriculture Secretary Thomas Vilsack.
Another 12 counties, included Marengo, are also eligible for assistance.
“While much of the state has received rain this week, it is not enough to eliminate the severe and extreme drought conditions that many places are experiencing,” said Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley. “Farmers across Alabama are suffering through what has been extended drought from last year. We appreciate Secretary Vilsack’s response to this critical situation that affects so many Alabama families.”
The following counties were designated “primary natural disaster areas” suffering from severe or extreme drought: Autauga, Baldwin, Barbour, Bibb, Bullock, Butler, Chambers, Chilton, Clay, Cleburne, Coffee, Conecuh, Coosa, Covington, Crenshaw, Dale, Dallas, Elmore, Escambia, Geneva, Henry, Houston, Lee, Lowndes, Macon, Montgomery, Perry, Pike, Randolph, Russell, Talladega, Tallapoosa and Wilcox.
An additional 12 counties were named as “contiguous disaster counties.” Those are also eligible for federal low-interest loans and include: Calhoun,Cherokee, Clarke, Hale, Jefferson, Marengo, Mobile, Monroe, St. Clair, Shelby, Tuscaloosa and Washington.
“There are many growers of commodity crops such as corn, soybeans, cotton and peanuts, who have suffered damage from the drought,” said Commissioner McMillan of the Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries. “Farmers should contact their local office of the Farm Service Agency (FSA) to determine their eligibility and begin the process for loan application.”
Additional counties could be added to the declaration in the coming weeks as the USDA Drought Monitor (http://droughtmonitor.unl.edu) provides weekly reports on drought conditions. The counties declared as primary natural disaster areas this week have faced severe drought conditions for at least eight consecutive weeks or extreme drought conditions at any time during the growing season.
McMillan noted that farmers in eligible counties have eight months from the date of a secretarial disaster declaration to apply for emergency loan assistance. FSA will consider each emergency loan application based on objective standards with regard to production losses, security available and repayment ability. | agronomy |

In the sports hall renovation project at Tilburg, with 1 000 m² wall, this could lead to higher costs and performance than required.
An Austrian farmer (Sonnenklee) was making modifications to an existing baling machine that would produce straw bales at the required size. This could be the solution to building a wall of the correct thickness. However, when informed about the bale sizes, we also learned they were producing straw to be blown in. With blown-in straw the wall dimensions are much freer and more customisable than with bales.
We visited Sonnenklee to learn about the customised baling machine and the blown-in straw.

He stated this in a statement made available to Journalist in Abuja yesterday.
The Federal government described the attempts by unscrupulous individual to tarnish the image of its goverment and that of Aliko Dangote by alleging that there are plans to flood the country with genetically modified rice( GMO)
“ In real terms, the Federal Government in 2014 signed a $1billion Memorandum of Understanding, (MoU) for investment in integrated rice project with Dangote Industries Ltd. Further to this agreement, Dangote Industries Limited this year cultivated over 8,000 hectares in Hadejia, Jigawa state, creating over 10,000 direct and indirect jobs for farmers who are the major beneficiaries of the scheme.
In consolidation of the rice project of the Federal Government, President Muhammadu Buhari administration is also in partnership with the African Development Bank (AfDB) and other reputable companies to tap into the vast potentials in the private sector and broadening the economic base of the country.
The gains of the diversification drive especially in the Agriculture sector are already yielding dividends as shown by the recent statistics in the sector as published by the National Bureau of Statistics.
These engagements will continue until the present administration has laid a solid foundation for the economic development of the nation.
It is therefore ridiculous that a government that is wholly devoted to the generation of employment for Nigerians especially through Agriculture will turn around to get involved in an activity that will reverse the gains of the same partnership.
President Muhammadu Buhari has said it repeatedly that, ‘’we have the capacity to feed ourselves in Nigeria and even export from what we produce in the country.” He has also said that through the provision of N200 billion by the CBN for small holder farmers and processors involved in local production of rice and other grains, rice importation will hopefully stop in the next three years.
It is unfortunate that while the Buhari administration is working assiduously with well-meaning Nigerians to bring the country out of the current economic situation it has found itself, a few self-serving individuals are bent on distracting the administration from the avowed focus to reflate the fortunes of the country through the diversification of the economy which, very soon, Nigerians will begin to see and experience the results.

At Apeel Sciences, James and his team increase the shelf life of produce without the need for refrigeration using purely organic solutions, drastically reducing food loss and waste while maintaining natural agricultural integrity by eliminating the need for pesticides. According to the Apeel Sciences website, “in the developing world, between 70-90% of produce is lost to spoilage before it can be consumed.” In the United States, and other developed countries, the number is closer to 40%. Given that in the U.S. 80% of all fresh water is used for irrigation, Americans are “throwing away 32% of the available freshwater supply” due to wasted food.
At Apeel Sciences, James and his team create products from natural plant extracts that protect fruits and vegetables from bacteria, fungi, and insects, as well as from oxidation, water loss, and bruising. By reducing spoilage, James’ company can effectively reduce water use, lower energy costs, increase produce quality and crop yield, and help preserve natural ecosystems. By doing so, James continues to exhibit the spirit of Materials at UCSB by being a leader today for the future of tomorrow.
James graduated from UCSB Materials in 2012 after conducting research to direct the self-assembly of highly-efficient and inexpensive plastic solar cells under the tutelage of Professors Guillermo Bazan and Ed Kramer. Also in 2012, James earned his M.A. in Economics and a certificate of completion from the Technology Management Program (TMP) at UCSB, received the Frank J. Padden Jr. award for “excellence in polymer physics research" from the American Physical Society, was awarded first place in TMP's New Venture Competition, and won a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Before coming to USCB, James received his B.S. from Carnegie Mellon University, double majoring in Materials Science and Engineering and Biomedical Engineering in 2007. His ability to lead a winning team was exhibited as captain of Carnegie Mellon’s 2006 football team, which earned distinction as the winningest team in the university's history. | agronomy |

> Economic Impact Briefs > Sustaining Agricultural Production through Education. 75, Texas farmers used the web-based decision aid for the Farm Bill, developed by the Agricultural & Food Policy Center (AFPC), with an estimated impact of improved decision making valued at . The overall economic impact at the producer level in the Texas High Plains of improved profitability through the use of precision agricultural practices in corn, grain sorghum, peanut and cotton production is estimated to be anywhere from 30 to 50 million dollars annually. Economic Impact of the Texas Poultry Industry Page: 2 2 p.: ill, charts. ; 28 cm. This book is part of the collection entitled: Texas State Publications and was provided to The Portal to Texas History by the UNT Libraries Government Documents : Craig D. Coufal. Nearly half of Texas jobs in machinery manufacturing are in the Houston area, with significant activity in oil and gas field machinery, air and gas compressors and air conditioning and heating equipment. Its real economic impact in Texas rose by percent from to , to $19 billion.
USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service Information. NASS publications cover a wide range of subjects, from traditional crops, such as corn and wheat, to specialties, such as mushrooms and flowers; from calves born to hogs slaughtered; from agricultural prices to land in farms. The agency has the distinction of being known as The Fact Finders of U.S. Agriculture due to the abundance of. The economic, social, and racial issues of late nineteenth-century Texas shaped state politics in conjunction with political parties. The Democratic party dominated Texas politics after Reconstruction, under leaders who generally had been Confederate soldiers or their sons. Party members were primarily Protestant, white (usually Anglo) farmers.

The Food and Fiber System and Production Agriculture’s Contributions to the Texas Economy Production Agriculture Production agriculture in Texas is third among all states in cash receipts and is one component of the larger food and fiber system that serves Texas’ million consumers as well as millions of consumers beyond the state.
A new report released by the Center for North American Studies at Texas A&M University shows the total economic impact of Texas agricultural exports. According to the study, Texas agricultural export trade to Canada and Mexico totaled more than $ billion and suppor jobs in While Texas’ manufacturing employment has diminished, its economic output has increased. From through , Texas’ manufacturing job count fell by 19 percent, but its real GDP rose by 94 percent, more than double the U.S. manufacturing gains of 40 percent. This divergence is largely due to productivity gains. The impacts of an enforcement only approach to immigration would be detrimental to the agricultural industry. If agriculture were to lose access to all undocumented workers, agricultural output would fall by $30 to $60 billion. The enforcement only option would increase food prices by percent. Growth of U.S. Dairy Exports From to , the value of U.S. dairy product exports more than quadrupled, and the United States became the world’s third-largest dairy product exporter, behind New Zealand and the European Union. In , as global conditions changed, the value of U.S. dairy exports fell by almost 30 percent. | agronomy |

Not only has Texas had a prolonged drought with devastating wildfires on top of that, but also we’ve had a spike in fuel and grain prices that are having a real effect on cattle ranchers everywhere, not just in Texas. We’re seeing that effect every time we go to the grocery store as the price of beef goes up and up.
Surprisingly enough, however, the price of beef at the retail level has surpassed the high price of pork, according to a CNN Money piece, “Beef Prices Soar” by Parija Kavilanz.
In February, the average retail price per pound for beef was $3.87, up 12.4% versus a year ago, according to market research firm FreshLook Data.
The average retail price for a pound of chicken was up 3.9% in February versus a year ago, turkey was up 5.4%, veal up 6.7% and pork up 10%.
According to Texas A&M’s Department of Animal Science, Texas cattle herds typically number 14 million, making it the top-producing state in the nation. (Although I read somewhere recently that Kansas has more cattle than Texas. If anyone knows for sure, please advise.) I’m wondering if that 14 million number for Texas is down since the drought began. I can’t seem to find current numbers for the state, but I’ll keep looking.
No doubt, the prolonged drought is affecting feed costs for all livestock, but I have a feeling that our biggest problem is that we’re subsidizing farmers in Iowa and elsewhere with our tax money to produce corn to make ethanol to add to gasoline. In effect, we’re putting corn in our cars and trucks instead of into the animals we need for food! And no matter how you cut it, ethanol is NOT helping drive down the cost of a gallon of gas. Even if we processed all of the corn we grow in this country into ethanol, it would only amount to 3% of our fuel needs. What are we doing, and above all, why?
The fact that we’re putting “corn in our cars” is driving up food prices across the board and around the world. I don’t know if you’ve been paying attention lately, but most of the unrest in the Arab countries has been over soaring food prices.
My apologies to all the nice corn farmers in Iowa and to the soybean farmers who are growing crops for biodiesel, but this is just another one of those things that “seemed like a good idea at the time.” Let’s produce more corn and soybeans for our livestock (and ourselves) and less to add to our gasoline. It’s time for this craziness to stop. | agronomy |

“People are joined to the land by work.”
— Wendell Berry
Jackson Hole, Wyoming
Did your family farm or ranch?
My grandfather had a hobby ranch. Where I’m from, you’re always around cattle and ranching.
Which came first for you: an interest in food or farming?
I worked on a vegetable CSA [community-supported agriculture] farm in Idaho, and that inspired me to start a farm-to-table pizza joint in Jackson Hole.
Why did you come East?
After the restaurant went bust, I wanted a complete fresh start. I missed out on a chance for a Stone Barns apprenticeship because I was in the Grand Canyon for a month on the river. So, I just showed up and volunteered anyway. Four years ago, Craig [Haney] offered me a job.
What have you learned from sheep?
Patience. Doing by not doing. Less is more.
What’s the best thing about working with sheep?
What’s the worst thing about working with sheep?
Cleaning up after them—the barns in winter, and shearing time.
Is this the first time you’ve worked on invasive species management?
Yes. The thing about invasives is, it’s one of the things you can’t unsee after you’ve seen it. Once you recognize them, you see them everywhere.
