Misfortune had ambushed their family farm just a month prior, and the young couple stood together at the doorstep of a big decision.
This is a story about how individual commitment helps to cultivate a movement. Our protagonists are two pig farming families, one in Germany and the other in the United States. Although they have never met, the Mays and Agers have so much in common. They wake up early to feed the pigs. They watch the weather closely. And they share a common vision.
The Special Responsibility of Farmers
There is agriculture and then there are farmers. Agriculture is the practice of growing crops and raising animals, creating the food that sustains us all. Farmers are the people who do the work!
A farmer’s expertise spans an impressive array of disciplines from science to business management and from marketing to finance. But most of all, farmers understand people’s relationship with the land. Farmers are not just direct stewards of their own farms. Their great gift to humanity is that they link anyone who eats (in other words all of us!) to the earth by putting food on the table of people in every country in every corner of the world. Whether they are running a family farm or a corporate agriculture business, farmers play a unique role in cultivating environmental stewardship.
A Tale of Two Farms – The First in Germany
Christian and Rebekka May loved farms but didn’t intend to be farmers, even though Christian was raised on one, Biohof May. He grew up in the beautiful and bucolic rolling hills of Junkershausen, a farming village of 100 people in central Germany. The fertile soil of Junkershausen has not only grown wheat, spelt, and einkorn, but it also seeded an environmental ethic into Christian’s family.
Christian’s parents, Dietmar and Klara, were on the cutting edge when 30 years ago they challenged community norms by putting chemical fertilizers and pesticides away. The Mays become early adopters in the organic farm movement.
As a young boy, Christian was mentored by his father, and the unspoken expectation or at least hope was that Christian would take over the farm one day, just like his father before him. But Christian did not believe his destiny was to stay in his tiny rural community. He went off to university in Vienna where he met his future wife, Rebekka, through a twist of fate when she bought his old mattress. Then the young couple secured impressive jobs in a big city, Stuttgart Germany. They had no burning desire to return to the family farm back in Junkershausen.
A Tale of Two Farms – The Second in the United States
Meanwhile, across the Atlantic Ocean, another young couple was making a different decision. Jamie and Amy Ager also met at university, but unlike the Mays, they embraced the opportunity to return to Jamie’s family farm, which otherwise might have languished. The Ager’s farm is in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains in the Southeast of the United States. With idealism in their hearts, Jamie and Amy envisioned agriculture that would connect farmers to their community and grow food in harmony with the environment.
When they learned that most grass-fed meat in the United States is imported from New Zealand, the young couple became farmer-entrepreneurs by launching an organic, grass-fed meat brand called Hickory Nut Gap Meats. Instead of limiting production to what they could farm on their own land, the Ager’s innovation was to develop an ever-expanding network of farmers to be their supply chain of grass-fed meat.
From the beginning, their business model provided their customers with healthy meat, satisfying a growing demand for sustainably raised food products. Equally important, Hickory Nut Gap Meats gave its supply-chain farmers more market channels for their products, enabling family farms to stay in business in a sector of the economy that is increasingly dominated by big agribusiness companies.
While the Agers were growing their brand and sending organic meat products to markets further and further away, the May family was struggling with succession. After one especially intense family meeting, it became clear to the parents, Dietmar and Klara, that the destiny of their children laid elsewhere, not on the farm.
The May family’s struggle turned from difficult to true misfortune. During a quiet summer night, the pig barn caught fire. Even though the more than 100 firefighters outnumbered the pigs in the barns, the buildings and pigs could not be saved. The hard labor of generations was lost in the blaze of a single night and the May family was broken.
As Christian and Rebekka stood together at that doorstep of a big decision, they asked themselves questions like: How do we balance our career aspirations with responsibility to family? What is the best way we can serve and make a difference? Can the dreams of two different generations of a family become one?
One can never wish for tragedy, but out of ashes, Phoenixes do rise. Christian and Rebekka made their decision. They stepped forward to embrace their destiny and returned home. Combining the life-long farming experience of the parents with the passion of the younger generation created new energy on the May farm. In just two years, Christian, Rebekka, Dietmar, and Klara rebuilt the farm. Starting from a clean slate, the May family designed pig barns and granaries that are among the most energy-efficient, sustainable, and healthy for pigs in Germany and perhaps the world.
Growing a Sustainability Movement
Like so many sectors of our economy, farmers are facing one of their greatest challenges in the history of agriculture: a warming planet. Along with energy production and transportation, agriculture is one of the biggest contributors to climate change. Animal waste management, chemical fertilizer use, soil tilling, and poor harvesting practices can all contribute to increased carbon concentrations in the air. The leadership of farmers is needed more than ever, and we can all draw courage from the new generation of farmer-entrepreneurs that are emerging.
The May’s and Ager’s paths have not yet crossed. However, I look forward to introducing them since both are dear friends to me. I want to listen to their conversation when they share their visions of sustainability. As Jamie says, “We started Hickory Nut Gap Meats as idealistic young farmers, and we are still idealistic today.”
Perhaps what fascinates me most about my farming friends is their power to influence the mass market. Through my work, I espouse ideas on how humanity can solve climate change or advise sustainable entrepreneurs on their journeys, but the Mays and Agers are putting food on the table of thousands of families. By providing people with their most basic needs, they are connecting us to the land. With every new customer, the Mays and Agers are seeding the sustainability movement.
Here at the Heart of Waraba, we call it “pride building”, which is the process of bringing more lion-hearted people into the global effort to solve climate change. Pride building is the opposite of tribe building or “tribalism” which sometimes dominates political discourse in the United States, the European Union, and across the globe. Tribalism attempts to wield any issue, including environmental stewardship, as a wedge to divide people. Pride building, in contrast, is inclusive and welcomes everyone to participate, each with our unique gifts in the global campaign to create a healthy planet for today and future generations.
By its very nature of being a global problem, solving climate change will occur through the accumulated actions of billions of people across the planet. For this reason, the greatest challenge of our generation could become the biggest unifying force the world has ever seen as people across the globe work in their own ways to solve climate change. Pride building welcomes 7.7 billion people to be part of the solution. Heroes for the planet, your seeds of sustainability are ready to be planted.
Even though the Mays and Agers have never met, they are tilling the same soil. Both families recognize that as farmers they are the master link that connects people to the earth. Regardless of the twists of fate and thoughtful decisions that brought Rebekka and Christian, Amy and Jamie to dedicate themselves to lives as farmers, we all benefit from their commitment. Every customer is another link, and every connection brings more lions into the pride.
Before you know it, we will have cultivated an unstoppable movement. | agronomy |
http://www.bamboo-rugs.com/why-is-bamboo-sustainable/ | 2019-01-22T14:13:14 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-04/segments/1547583857913.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20190122140606-20190122162606-00201.warc.gz | 0.9447 | 533 | CC-MAIN-2019-04 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2019-04__0__130143775 | en | Considered a “woody grass,” not a tree, bamboo can be used in the production of furniture, décor, kitchenware — even clothing and food — with sustainability in mind.
To understand the process of harvesting this versatile material, think about mowing a lawn. You can cut it down fairly short, wait a week or two, and find that it has already grown back to its original height. Bamboo grows in a similar way — except, instead of blades, the vertical shoots (the parts that resemble tree trunks) are called culms. When the culms are harvested, the plant’s system of roots remains underground, ready to regenerate by sending up new shoots. These can be harvested as well, allowing the cycle to repeat — unlike hardwood trees, which die, of course, when cut down.
By properly maintaining a bamboo forest and removing stalks at full maturity (and decaying ones as needed) the overall productivity of that bamboo is increased, allowing it to generate more stalks than the plants would in the wild and thereby promoting new, healthy growth. Individual culms reach maturity in about five years — signified in part by the appearance of leaves and branches at the top. When harvested at this point, the finished bamboo lumber is maximally durable.
This production cycle contrasts with that of traditional hardwood lumber. Trees such as oak and cedar can take ten to forty years to mature, and some companies that harvest these types of wood do not replant after depleting a forest’s resources — they “clear cut” the forest new balance 996. Clearcutting has a devastating impact on the local environment because native species of birds, reptiles, and mammals are left with a large part of their habitat destroyed. The sudden removal of trees en masse can also lead to warmer river temperatures, which is harmful to fish populations.
It isn’t too difficult to find sustainable lumber that has been certified by the non-profit Forest Stewardship Council, but bamboo holds another advantage over traditional wood in its special ability to reduce carbon emissions. Because it grows at such a fast pace, bamboo consumes a substantially greater amount of carbon dioxide than an equal-sized grouping of trees — 62 tons of carbon dioxide in one hectare over one year compared to 15 tons. It also produces up to 35% more oxygen than hardwood trees.
Lastly, while it’s a known staple of the Great Panda’s diet, no panda will go hungry for want of the Moso bamboo used in our products — the Anji mountain region is not their home! | agronomy |

Mr. Brown, our tour guide, is a master gardener. After introductions were made Mr. Brown asked each student what they were looking forward to. Mr. Brown also used that time at the gazebo to explain the expectations of the day. We would take a tour of the garden, plant food and stay far away from the ants. He also let us sample some asparagus and strawberries picked that morning from the Stone Mountain Community Garden (SMCG). Our tour began: Growing on the Garden's peripheral are wild flowers. Just inside the wild flower area, as Mr. Brown, explained are food and herbs growing for the Stone Mountain Food Pantry. Each child got a chance to snip a piece of buckwheat. Buckwheat. The herb garden was our favorite place to be. We got to smell rosemary. Tasting mint, oregano and lemon thyme. We observed budding blueberry and blackberry bushes. The watermelon patch was not prepared yet for planting so we moved past the patch and talked about the buckwheat garden and learned about how flour is made. There were people coming in and out of the Garden while we were there. Mr. Brown explained that the interior garden plots were for individual gardeners. He showed us what was growing in his garden. Sampling lettuce from Mr Brown's garden. Mr. Brown's lavender garden is tied for the best place we liked to be. Our students love the lavender smells. SMCG gardeners do not use pesticides and control some beetles using grits. Mr Brown told us that grits were dropped so certain beetles would eat the grits instead of the plants. Touring the outer rim of the SMCG Mr. Brown displayed rows of tomatoes that were near the rows of potatoes. We observed the similarities and differences. Planting sweet potato plants for the Pantry. Adding, spreading and smoothing new soil in the garden. | agronomy |

can be developed to make these items. New Words: Horticultural crops, field crops. Introduction and economic importance
We have come to know about horticultural crops in the previous lesson. We will know about field crop in this lesson. Field crops are divided into six types on the basis of their use, such as:
- Cereal crop: Paddy, wheat, maize, etc. 2. Pulse crop: Lentil, green-gram, chickpea, pigeon-pea kesari, etc. 3. Oil crop: Mustard, sesame, sunflower, etc. 4. Fibre crop: Jute, cotton, kenaf, etc. 5. Sugar crop: Sugar-cane, sugar-beet, etc. 6. Cattle Feed (Fodder crops): Cow pea (Felon), guinea, para and napier grass, etc.
Figure: Carpus cotton Figure: Sugar-beet Figure: Napier Grass Field crops have some special characteristics that make them separate from horticultural crops. Field crops are cultivated at a large scale. It does not require intensive cultivation like that of horticultural crops. These are cultivated as human and animal feed. It is quickly perishable. As we are introduced to field crops, we can certainly assume their economic importance. Cereal, pulse and oil crops are our food crops. Paddy, wheat, maize are used as the main human foods among cereal crops. Pulse crops meet the demands of our protein. We get edible oil from different oil crops. Wheat, maize and pulses are used as foods for animal and feed for birds and fishes. Para, guinea, napier, pigeon-pea are cultivated as cattle feed. These are fed in green condition. As a result, animal and bird raising, and fish cultivation have commercially expanded.
Sugar is made from sugar-cane and sugar-beet. Sugar-cane cultivators in our country earn ready cash by supplying sugar-cane to sugar mills. Thread, cloth, rope, sack, carpet etc. are made from fibre crops. Among the fibre crops jute is one of the greatest ones in our country. Jute and jute-made products have huge demand at home and abroad. We earn a lot of foreign currency by exporting jute and jute-made products.
Task : Write down the name of some field crops that have not been mentioned here and explain their uses. New Words: Cereal or grain crop, fibre crop, fodder crop. Red amaranth (Lalsakh or red herb) cultivation method
Red amaranth is a popular vegetable in our country. Red amaranth is cultivated more or less almost everywhere in Bangladesh. It contains a lot of vitamins. Soil : Red amaranth is cultivated in almost all types of soil all the year round. However, loamy and sandy-loamy soil is best for its cultivation. The production of red am aranth in our country is abundant at the outset of inter. E Red amaranth can be cultivated in high land during Figure : Red Amaranth summer Variety : There are many varieties of red amaranth. However two improved varietis are Altapati and BARI Lalsakh-1. The leaves and stem of Altapati variety are vermilion red. The leaves and stem of BARI Lalsakh are red. The flower of this amaranth is red and its seed is round in shape. Land preparation : The seed of red amaranth is very small. So the land is prepared loose by ploughing 4-5 times and laddering. Red amaranth is a short duration crop. So 40 kg of cow-dung, 400 gm of Urea, 300 gm of TSP and 250 gm of MOP fertilizers have to be applied per decimal land. After seven days of seed germination, an amount of 400 gm extra urea fertilizer per decimal land will be top dressed and mixed with the soil. Seed Sowing: The seeds of red amaranth are sown by broadcasting and in lines. If sown in lines, nursing is convenient and there is more yield. A lm wide and 15 cm high seed-bed is prepared to sow seeds in the rainy season. A 30 cm irrigation drain is to be kept between two seed-beds. There may be an equal distribution of seeds everywhere, if seeds are mixed with sand at the time of sowing. 10 gm of seeds is enough per decimal land. If sown in lines, with the help of stick making 1.5-2.0 cm deep line having 20 cm distance then seed should be broadcast in lines and the soil should be levelled.
Inter cultural operation : The nursing that is taken from seed-sowing or seedling-planting to crop-harvesting is called inter cultural operation. No irrigation is necessary, if there is sufficient moisture in the soil at the time of sowing. But if there is not sufficient moisture in the soil, irrigation is necessary. When seeds germinate, seedlings should be kept 5 cm apart in the rows and other plants must be lifted as thinning out within a week. The weed must be cleaned out by weeder and the soil should be mulche after irrigation. Crop harvesting : Red amaranth can be collected after 20-25 days of sowing seeds. Firstly tall plants need to be lifted. Thus amaranth can be lifted after two or three days of interval. The plants of red amaranth is lifted with roots. Then they are washed away, tied in bundles and marketed. Crop harvesting should be complete for leafy vegetable before the stem becomes hard. Yield : 45-55 kg red amaranth is obtained from per decimal of land if improved method of cultivation is applied.
Task : Make a list of agricultural materials needed for cultivating red amaranth in five decimal land.
New Words : Top dressing, cultivation in bed, soil moisture availability, inter
Lesson 4: Pepper cultivation method Pepper is a spice crop in Bangladesh. Green and red pepers are used for hot taste or pungency. Green chilli contains more vitamin C. Now-a-days a kind of pepper is found which is less hot. This is called capsicum. This pepper is used as salad. Variety : There are many breeds of peppers existing in different areas of Bangladesh; such as Bindu, Challissa, Dhani, Ubda, Chittagong, Comilla, Bogra, etc. Moreover, an einen besondere approved variety named Bangla Lanka (Bari Pepper-1) is Figure: Hot nenner suitable for cultivation round the year. | agronomy |

On Monday, February 7, 2022 members of the Rotary Club of Windsor gathered at the North Bay Met Academy to watch the installation of a “Blue Barrel Water Catchment System” by the students of North Bay Met. The project was funded by our Windsor Rotary Community Foundation, and guided by friends from Daily Acts.
The North Bay Met Academy school garden is watered by long hoses from potable water. In our current drought, and as a more sustainable practice, the students installed a demonstration rainwater collection system to water their garden. Using rainwater slows down storm water, saves potable water, and offers others in the community an opportunity to see what we can do to preserve our water resources.
The project consists of an 8 barrel rainwater collection and storage system. It will collect rainwater from the roof of one of the Windsor Oaks Academy portable classrooms and store it for use in the dry season for the school garden. Here’s what the project can accomplish:
- Provide irrigation water for the school garden (which had lovely lettuce plants growing and flourishing on Monday during our visit)
- Present an example of sustainable water use for the Windsor community
- Demonstrate sustainable design principles in a changing climate
- Promote healthy lifestyles and environmental design principles at school
- Offer a hands-on learning opportunity for students to connect to the real world
- Create math and science lesson opportunities
Our Club members watched as the students handled the 8 barrels, drilled the holes for connecting them together, and planned how to connect the PVC piping that completes the system. | agronomy |

Once your window film is installed, until your plants become acclimated to the new lighting environment there may be some slower growth and flowering. Fruit bearing trees may also slowdown in producing fruit as well, until they acclimate to the new conditions.
Some of your plants might appreciate the extra help. Plants, like people who sunburn, are at risk of damage caused by UV radiation.
The majority of all plants will do wonderful, and typically even thrive after a short time in the more favorable climate.

While marijuana and marijuana-derived products remain illegal on a federal level, the bill states that hemp-derived products with less than 0.3% THC are now legal to cultivate and sell in all 50 States. CBD cultivated from Hemp is now under the jurisdiction of the FDA and regulatory guidelines are still in the formative stages. Consequently, each of the 50 States are left to interpret federal guidelines and legalization remains in different phases of implementation depending on the State.
Notably, the form in which one consumes CBD is becoming more important, from micro-dosing a tincture, to a consuming a gelcap, edibles, vaping and sprays. In the case of hemp flower, now cultivated with botanical seed strains of higher potency and quality, the “smokeable” category is of growing interest by consumers seeking fast relief from stress, and anxiety without the impairments associated with a marijuana “high”.
In the case of New York State, Hemp flower, meaning flower containing less than .3% THC, is legal under current New York state law. New York State is still in the process of approving state hemp regulations and awaiting the approval for a new proposed hemp state bill that regulates the use of hemp as an agricultural commodity. New York favors farms with hemp processing licenses who are cultivating CBD Hemp and developing a market within the state.
What to Be Aware of When Purchasing Hemp Flower
- Be sure that the flower is labeled clearly with type of strain, potency, and source
- Look for organic, quality hemp flower grown by licensed growers.
- Be discreet when smoking hemp, and avoid doing so in public (marijuana is still illegal in New York, and New York is still in the process of creating rules and regulations around smoking).
A reminder: although CBD and hemp flower is legal, CBD is still banned as a food and drink additive in cafes and restaurants due to concerns about regulation and quality.

In recent years Panama has gained fame and international recognition for the quality of its specialty coffee, participating in renowned competitions among coffee experts worldwide. This boom led the Tourism Authority of Panama (ATP) to work on a new documentary about coffee that bears the name “Geisha, a story of height”. This documentary was recently released in the province of Chiriqui during the International Fair of San Jose de David, which annually receives more than 300 thousand people.
For Enrique Sanchez, marketing director of the ATP, the launch of this documentary comes at the right time in which Panama is recognized as one of the best coffee producing countries. In the same way, this documentary was also presented during the International Film Festival of Panama having a great receptivity among movie lovers and is expected to be screened at international tourism fairs and gastronomic encounters.
The documentary highlights the great value of Geisha coffee and tells, in voice of the producing families of Tierras Altas and Boquete, the story of how this type of coffee arrived into the region, how it became popular, why it is considered number one worldwide and what is Panama doing to stay among the top producers. Filming was carried out for seven days in the main coffee farms and with the most prominent producers from Boquete and Volcan, such as Ricardo Koyner from Finca Kotowa; Wilford Lamastus from Finca Elida; Francisco Serracín de Don Pachi Estate; Michael Janzon of Janson Coffee Farm; Daniel Peterson from Hacienda La Esmeralda; and Abdiel Lara of Finca Nueva Suiza Hermanos Lara.
In December 2018, the ATP in partnership with MiAmbiente, the Chamber of Tourism of Chiriqui and the Center for Competitiveness of the Western Region of Panama (CeComRo), created the Coffee Circuit, made up of 18 farms located in the districts of Boquete, Tierras Altas and Renacimiento. The starting point of this circuit is the Coffee Exploration Center located in Boquete, where you can learn about the history of the bean, its varieties and the work of coffee farmers in the region. | agronomy |

A more open mindset from farmers about where their water comes from has meant that some of the greatest technological gains in reuse are being made in the agricultural industry.
To that end, reuse advocates the WaterReuse Association and Water Environment & Reuse Foundation (WE&RF) have teamed with Pentair, an industrial company with a water technology division, to highlight new ways that water recycling can be utilized to improve agricultural practices.
“Our three organizations are in a unique position to make farmers, lawmakers, and the public aware of the value of water and reuse in agriculture,” said Melissa Meeker, executive director of WateReuse and chief executive officer of WE&RF. “Pentair and WE&RF partner on research projects designed to help advance sustainable agricultural practices and the WateReuse Association uses the research to advocate for laws, policy, and funding to support this effort.”
The partners released an online video highlighting two projects utilizing sustainable agricultural practices, where the system for food production is based on local conditions and will last over the long term.

The combination of the deep alluvial sandy loam and mild climate provides ideal growing conditions.
The value of planting cover crops between the vines, depends on whether you get enough rain.
The crop is used as mulch adding goodness to the soil.
We have endeavored to set the vineyard up in such a way that we use minimum water and increase the organic matter in the soil, to assist with the reduction of soil moisture by evaporation to ensure the vines are nurtured and grow in balance.
This enables us to grow grapes which can mature to peak fruit ripeness to ensure full flavoured wines can be produced.

As trees grow, grass and other shrubs interfere with the width of the golf course surface. John Deere golf course equipment can be invaluable to reduce the waste of the surface, these elements that make up most of the course must be maintained in an adequate and orderly manner, thus increasing the efficiency of the course itself.
Well-maintained golf courses offer many of the ecological and community benefits. Not only does it provide recreation, but act as a safe recluse for plants and animals where they can thrive . Pesticides and fertilizers need to be used prudently, but sparingly throughout the golf course to maintain a healthy lawn.
Trees are also an important and vital part of any golf course. They cool the temperature, create shade and filter the dust. It is necessary to keep them at the helm of health. It is necessary to maintain sufficient distance with other plants because they may interfere with their growth and nutrition. Branches should be trimmed as part of the tree maintenance program. Slopes should be cut by hand with line trimmers or using special cutting equipment. The softer slopes are more profitable and have less maintenance compared to steep slopes. Cutting work is the most difficult and crucial part of maintaining the golf course. It requires high labor, especially during the growing season. Raking, adding and replacement of sand is necessary to keep the sand bunkers in good condition. If you find that after a heavy rain the sand bunkers are stiff, then do not hesitate to replace it.
The maintenance of golf mowers, which are usually gasoline or electric, is also very important. These require a minimum of 2 services per year. Battery terminals and water levels should be checked every fifteen days if you are using electric cars. If the weather is dusty, it is good to water the car with specific attention to the motor of the car, the interiors and also under the seat. Following these simple steps will greatly reduce the general problems associated with the regular use of golf carts.
You can make it a rule if possible to use soft spikes instead of hard metallic spike to reduce the damage inflicted on the grass covering. Using golf clubs with new metal woods is also useful since their heads are smaller and shallower. Irrigation system needs carking care too so that it can deliver the best performance repeatedly. Proper maintenance of the irrigation system will ensure a reduction in overall water waste and improve the appearance and quality of the greens considerably. Following a few simple steps, you can keep your golf course looking beautiful and well cared for, thus ensuring a quality experience for the players.
Rotor maintenance: It is necessary to adjust the rotor arches regularly and the nozzles and seals requires replacement at regular intervals. Cracked cases and clogged screens require repairing as soon as it is observed. The rotor should also be checked periodically to determine the accumulation of straw and incorrect rotation.
Anticipate changes in the climate and increase or decrease the use of water accordingly. It will help to keep at bay any risk of under-watering or over watering the course. Set the irrigation program to increase or decrease the operating time of the station by a certain percentage according to the temperature increase. This will reduce the stress of the lawn and will have a good effect or areas of shrubs and grass. | agronomy |

Begonia produces one of the smallest types of seeds in the world. Miniature seed resemble dust. One ounce of begonia seed is enough for the production of 3 million seedlings. Seed starts to germinate 2 or 3 weeks after planting. Begonia can be propagated via seed, leaf- and stem-cuttings or via tuberous root. All species of begonia are divided in three major groups: tuberous, semperflorens, and the uncommon perennials. Tuberous begonias produce beautiful flowers, but they undergo period of dormancy during the winter when their foliage and flowers wilt and die.

Cooking and food are about coming together. At Kalsec we are family. We have strong values, passion and a belief that we should simply treat people right. We believe in dedication and tradition, which is why our family has been cultivating chili pepper plants from a small group of farmers for over 30 years.
As the leading global supplier of capsicum products to the food and beverage industry, we wanted to share our story. We have two locations to ensure the supply for our customers in case of fire, crop failure or inclement weather. Kalsec has growing areas in both Oklahoma and Texas, meaning all of the chili peppers that we grow for capsicum are grown in the U.S. and are under our control.
What Makes Kalsec’s Capsicum Unique?
We do a natural selection during our seed and breeding process to guarantee our seeds are pure. Kalsec farmers know the land well. We know what went into the soil and what will come out of it, allowing for full traceability.
At Kalsec we are able to monitor the plants to ensure pesticides from our neighbor’s crops do not find their way into our extracts. We are then able to harvest in a way to not include those peppers in our processing. This is a challenge for competitors that get their chilies from many other sources because of the number of small, individual fields and because pesticides can be systemic in the soil and enter the plant.
What is Vertical Integration?
Vertical integration is about assuring the growing conditions and quality of our chili peppers. We use a natural selection process on our seeds and work with a select group of farmers to grow these peppers.
This is advantageous to our customers because they know exactly where their capsicum is sourced. They can be confident that it is safe from pesticides, is not genetically modified and that they are receiving the hottest commercially available chili pepper. This also means our capsaicin is highly concentrated so less can be used for the same effect. This provides a convenient and economic benefit to the customer and impacts the environment more positively.

Outdoor Activities - Gardening With Preschoolers
Preschoolers love to help with all types of activities, and gardening is no exception. Young children love to dig in the dirt and water the plants. Provide the opportunity for your preschooler to get involved with the gardening and watch their excitement for Mother Nature grow! Whether you are gardening with flowers or veggies and fruits, there are some helpful things to remember to make your preschooler's gardening time the most fun.1. Tools - Provide your child with age appropriate tools to work with in the garden. If you can't find or don't want to purchase the kid sized gardening tools, use old kitchen utensils such as a large serving spoon.2. Plant selection - Allow your child to select one special plant or seed packet for the garden when you are purchasing your flowers or veggies for the season. This will help your child learn to take ownership when caring for their own special plant.3. Planting - Kids can help in the planting process by digging holes and gently patting around newly placed plants. Always demonstrate first and talk them through the step-by-step process of planting a new plant.4. Watering - Water new plants yourself first and then allow your child to add a second round of watering. This will allow you to make sure you get all the new plants the water they need, dampen the surrounding soil and prevent any missed spots or overly harsh watering. Your child can then come right behind you watering a second time. If you have a hose attachment for spraying, the "mist" option is a great second round water choice, but "shower" works well too.5. Continued care - Ask your child to help with continued care of the garden. Allow them to help water, add mulch or otherwise tend to the successful growth and health of the plants.Garden safety tips:1. Avoid allowing children to use heavy or sharp tools.2. Do not allow children to trim or otherwise cut the plants. Garden clippers are very sharp!3. Although vegetable gardens are edible, make sure to explain to your child that not all plants are safe to eat.4. Do not allow children to help use any kind of chemical treatments when gardening, including plant food.5. Always make sure to put all gardening tools and supplies away and out of reach when not in use.Bonus Tip: find a little bucket to store your preschooler's garden tools separate from your own. This will encourage your child to feel like they have ownership in the caring for the garden on their own as well. | agronomy |

Unfortunately, many tomato gardeners overlook the wonders of mulching. In this article, we will explore the benefits of mulching and introduce you to the five best organic mulches for your tomato plants, ensuring a thriving garden this season.
Why Mulch Your Tomato Plants?
When it comes to growing thirsty tomato plants, mulch becomes your best friend. Its main purpose is to retain moisture in the soil by keeping it cool and protected from direct sunlight. By retaining more water and preventing quick evaporation, mulching provides your plants with consistent access to the water they need, reducing the frequency of watering.
But moisture retention is just one benefit of mulching. Many gardeners choose to mulch to avoid the hassle of weeding. A thick layer of mulch prevents weed seeds from germinating and makes it easier to pull out any weeds that manage to make their way through.
Mulching also acts as a soil insulator, regulating the soil temperature on extremely hot days and during fluctuations in temperature throughout the season. This regulation helps prevent negative reactions from your tomato plants and creates a more stable environment for their growth.
Moreover, mulching offers many additional benefits, such as reducing soil erosion, keeping water off leaves to prevent disease, keeping fallen fruits clean and limiting rot, improving soil structure, preventing soil compaction, and enhancing the overall appearance of your garden.
5 Best Mulches for Tomato Plants
Shredded leaves are an excellent mulching material that can benefit your garden while utilizing dead leaves. They provide protection for the soil as the plants grow and gradually break down, improving soil health over time. However, it is crucial to shred the leaves before applying them as mulch to avoid water and air deprivation.
Straw is a popular choice for mulching tomato plants due to its lightweight nature and ability to break down easily, improving soil structure. Rice straw and wheat straw are two common types of straw used for mulching. Avoid using hay as it often contains weed seeds that can spread to unwanted parts of your garden.
Compost, whether homemade or store-bought, not only improves soil structure as a soil amendment but also serves as an effective mulch. It blends with the soil more quickly than other mulches, requiring more frequent replenishment. However, the faster breakdown of compost also means it will enhance soil quality faster than other organic mulches.
4. Grass Clippings
If you have a lawn, grass clippings can provide an abundant supply of mulch for your tomato plants. However, ensure that the clippings are dried before use to prevent the formation of a dense layer that hinders water and air penetration. Also, avoid using chemically treated grass clippings that may negatively affect your tomato plants.
5. Bark Chips
Bark chips are an attractive choice for design-conscious gardeners. They break down slowly, reducing the need for frequent mulch replacement. However, wood-based mulches like bark chips can alter the soil’s composition as they break down, requiring careful monitoring of pH levels and the use of nitrogen-rich fertilizer to replace lost nutrients.
While other organic mulches like coffee grounds, shredded newspaper, or cardboard exist, they may pose potential problems for your tomato plants if not properly installed and monitored. The five materials mentioned above are tried and tested mulches that are less likely to cause issues in the long run.
How to Mulch Tomato Plants
To mulch tomato plants effectively, spread a layer of your chosen mulch around the plants, ensuring a thickness of approximately 2 inches. If weed suppression is your goal, you can extend the mulch layer to cover the entire bed rather than just around the plants.
Leave some space around the stems of the tomato plants to prevent the mulch from contacting the base. Excessive moisture trapped near the stem can cause rotting. Additionally, keep any trailing leaves and branches off the mulch layer to minimize the risk of rot and disease.
Water thoroughly once you have applied the mulch layer, ensuring the soil underneath is adequately soaked. As the old mulch breaks down, add fresh layers accordingly. The timing of adding new mulch will depend on the chosen material and its rate of decay. If needed, you can work the old layer into the soil before applying a new one to provide a boost of organic materials for your plants.
Mulching your tomato garden is a cost-effective and essential practice that offers numerous benefits. With these five organic mulches, you can provide the optimal conditions for your tomato plants without much effort. Enjoy a bountiful harvest at the end of the season while maintaining a healthy and thriving garden. | agronomy |

Several insect species attack stored grain, resulting in both direct and indirect losses. Direct losses from insect feeding result in reduced grain weight, loss of nutrients and decreased germination.
Indirectly, the presence of insects causes a deterioration and contamination of grain. ˜ is results in a poorer grade of grain and lower. Stored grains and milled cereal products are subject to attack by insects that cause enormous losses annually. Of the many insects that have adapted themselves to a diet of dried vegetable material, a few are primary pests of grain in that they are able to bore into the sound : Richard Thomas Cotton.

It should be removed and discarded (sold, fed, buried, or spread on open ground in winter) to prevent the emerging adult moths from flying back to re-infest the newly stored grain. If leftover grain must be retained, it should be properly fumigated. Identifying insect pests in stored grain In a deregulated grain market, the popularity of on-farm storage continues to increase and markets are now more likely to request nil chemical residues.
This reduces the tools available to control pests, so good storage hygiene, well-managed aeration and regular monitoring (at least monthly) are essential. A food grain storage system is an artificial ecological system in which deterioration of the stored product results from interactions among physical (e.g.
temperature, moisture, storage structure), chemical (e.g. carbon dioxide, oxygen) and biological (e.g. grain characteristics, microorganisms, insects, mites, rodents, birds) factors (Jayas and White, ). Protecting any grain stored from insect attack makes economic sense, because even feed grain can lose value though loss of protein or palatability, affecting livestock growth rates.

However, over the past few decades, they are dying at an alarming rate, posing a serious problem and challenge of ensuring the sustainability of our food production systems, avoiding additional economic impacts on the agricultural sector, and protecting the health of the environment.
Researchers at the MIT Media Lab are studying how building and material design affect the health and activity of honey bees. Responding to the colony collapse epidemic, they hope to shape how the buildings of the future are designed to promote bee health and possibly have beehives integrated directly into the building infrastructure.
The MIT Media Lab's research requires constant monitoring of bee activity that posed a challenge as the team planned to scale the project.
"Our research group were fortunate enough to work with TetraScience in a recent project involving honeybee hives. Bees are particularly susceptible to temperature and humidity, and these were two variables we needed to record over several months to observe behavioral changes in the natural outdoor environment."
The team turned to TetraScience to install webcams and sensors on all their beehives to capture real-time video and temperature information from the hives.
"Using the TetraScience system, we were able to accurately collect data as well as images to inform our experimentation. In addition, we could tune the system as needed for a variety of conditions, and the TetraScience team was extremely responsive and came up with creative solutions for us."
With TetraScience installed on their hives, researchers can monitor key experimental parameters remotely—removing the need to suit up and take these measurements themselves.
The TetraScience live feed has also become a valuable source of community education. The MIT Media Lab is now displaying the TetraScience dashboard in their lobby—using the visualized data as a powering promotional tool to drive community awareness of their efforts.
Thanks to TetraScience technology, over hundreds of hours have been saved to date and 686 bee stings averted.
As a company, Best Bees oversees the complete lifecycle of home beekeeping, from hive building and installation to honey harvesting. As the company grew, the executive team knew that they need a scalable way to remotely manage and monitor their growing network of hives.
Having heard of the work TetraScience had done with MIT Media Labs, the team chose TetraScience to install both sensors and webcams across their beehives.
Through the TetraScience dashboard, Best Bees staff and their clients can view real-time video and monitor temperature information from the hives—anytime, anywhere. TetraScience has drastically reduced costs of physical checks by staff and has enabled the team to support a wider geographic base for their home-based hives.
Starting in 2016, Best Bees will be embedding a TetraScience Link with every hive they ship to their customers.

"We really think we can feed the world" with a system called vertical farming, said Milan Kluko, an engineer who launched Green Spirit Farms, making a $3 million investment in the former Plastics Masters factory on U.S. 12.
Vertical farming employs rotating cylinders that circulate plants around an energy-efficient light source, using 90 percent less water than traditional and hydroponic agriculture and taking up much less space.
Tomatoes that would occupy an acre of ground outside take up only 345 square feet with a vertical farm.
Because it's all indoors, plants can be grown year-round, safe from such unpredictable elements as extremes in the weather. Because there are no pests inside, no pesticides or herbicides are needed.
"We're influencing things that have never been influenced before," said Kluko, by sheltering crops from extremes of heat, rain and the frost that devastated the state's fruit crop in April.
And because items are grown and marketed locally, the expense and pollution associated with long-distance transportation is eliminated.
Their produce can be picked in the morning and be on the shelf by noon, Kluko said. All of Green Spirit's packaging will be compostable.
The motto at Green Spirit Farm is "quicker, better, faster."
The growing cylinders themselves are produced by Omega Farm, a Canadian company, and have mostly been used by home gardeners.
Kluko said he believes his is the first commercial operation to use Omega's cylinders in the United States, and probably in the Western Hemisphere.
He recently returned from London, where they set up a demonstration garden near the Olympic Village, which will grow vegetables to feed athletes.
There is a lot of excitement about the possibilities in the United Kingdom, which has to import a lot of its produce, Kluko said.
They have been sending data from their research to a company in India, a country which has tens of millions of children to feed, said Ben Wiggins, site manager at Green Spirit Farm.
A vertical farm can operate "in a cold climate, a really hot climate, and anything in between," Kluko said. All you need is a building with a 22-foot ceiling that doesn't leak, and a little wind or sun as an energy source.
But before branching out, Kluko wants to take root in the local market.
After a year of research, Green Spirit Farm took possession of a portion of the Plastics Masters factory, which has been vacant for 10 years. The 40,000- square-foot building sits on 27 acres.
The first plantings took place in January, including "Fred," a cucumber plant named by Kluko's daughter.
This is definitely a family operation, with his son Dan handling the computer and other technology, and wife Vida Kluko, a glass artisan, taking on design and marketing duties.
Another business was to have occupied part of the building, but went bankrupt and had to move out its equipment, delaying full implementation of the Green Spirit Farm operation.
They hope to be fully operational by September, with 123 growing stations in one room and 70 in another.
Each cylinder holds 80 plants, and six cylinders are stacked together about 20 feet high at each station. That's 480 plants growing in the space of a bathroom, instead of 1,000 acres of farm land.
Omega Garden's founder didn't exactly re-invent the wheel, but found another application for it, Kluko acknowledged.
In fact, much of the project uses what he calls "old-new technology."
After experimenting with several different light sources, Kluko and co. settled on an induction lamp, which Dan Kluko points out was invented by Nikola Tesla in 1891.
The light uses an electro-magnet to excite argon gas as its light source, instead of a filament. For this reason they use much less energy and can last up to 100,000 hours, twice as long as an LED light.
They are the first commercial farm to use the induction lamp, Milan Kluko said.
Because the light burns at a much lower temperature than lights used in hydroponics, it can be kept closer to the plant, reducing energy loss, Kluko said as he laid his hand on the illuminated lamp that burns at 140 degrees - compared to a metal halide light that radiates at 750 degrees.
The cylinders rotate once every 50 minutes using a low-horsepower motor. The farm will install wind turbines and solar panels as its energy source.
Rain water will be captured and distilled. Even water is recycled from a humidifier.
"We're actually harvesting humidity," Kluko boasted of another unique feature of Green Spirit Farms. "I don't know of anyone else doing that."
They are seeing some impressive results.
Plants, which take root in a material called rock wool, grow faster and can be harvested more often than in traditional farming because of the controlled conditions.
Basil plants can be harvested every 21 days, Kluko said. They have already collected three crops of the herb by picking only the leaves.
Heirloom greens, including a spicy leaf called rocket arugula, are being grown for local restaurants.
They are growing cherry tomatoes "the size of cue balls," Kluko said. Lettuce leaves are gargantuan compared to typical plants.
People who have tasted some of the produce are surprised to find that it has been grown indoors.
"Tasting is believing, I guess," Kluko said. "We grow tomatoes that taste like tomatoes, not cardboard."
Most produce can be grown in a vertical farm except items such as corn, potatoes and soybeans.
A lot of organic produce sold in this area comes from California and Arizona and has to be picked early and shipped 2,000 miles, Kluko said.
He is concentrating on getting goods to the local markets, including Chicago, only 65 miles away, or what he calls the "super-local" market within 50 miles of the farm. He is further planning a retail outlet at the site.
In addition to restaurants such as New Buffalo's Stray Dog, Kluko is interesting neighborhood supermarkets in carrying his crops.
They will participate in the Farm to Table Festival at the Round Barn Winery in Baroda in September.
The big obstacle to having this industry take off is investment capital, which has become even more difficult to secure since the 2008 economic downturn, Kluko said.
But Kluko, who calls himself the "big idea" guy and the fundraiser for the farm, stresses that the revenue per square foot and the yield per square foot of a vertical garden is unmatched by anything else in agriculture.
"With four or five of these operations, we could feed Chicago," Kluko said.
Kluko is not only interested in the next crop of tomatoes or cilantro, but the next generation of consumers.
Last Earth Day he invited in students from New Buffalo schools to learn about the operation and participate. They planted trees on the property as a "mini reforestation" project, and they planted basil inside, learning about chemistry, biology and botany first-hand. They used the Internet to calculate how much petroleum it takes to package and ship produce from the West Coast.
Kluko said he wants to turn some of the grounds into what he calls The Earth Campus, where students can learn where their food comes from and what they can do to use resources more efficiently.
Green Spirit Farm has submitted a proposal to the Pokagon Fund, which grants money from casino revenue for community projects, for support for The Earth Campus.
He is working with Michigan Works on job training for future "green collar" employment.
The London project came about following a speaking engagement by Kluko, a well-known expert on sustainability in business and erosion control. Coincidentally, the theme of the event is "Farm Olympics," designed by filmmaker Danny Boyle.
He has donated one of the growing stations to a London-area school, and would like to see a sister school relationship established with New Buffalo students, who could share their growing expertise.
"We think this is the future of farming," said Ben Wiggins, site manager at Green Spirit Farm.

Goodwell, Okla. — The Oklahoma Panhandle State University Agronomy Department made a great showing at the annual North American Colleges and Teachers of Agriculture (NACTA) Judging Conference. The event was held at Murray State University in Murray, Ky. April 10-13, 2019.
Agronomy Department Chair and Coach Dr. Curtis Bensch along with Assistant Coach Daren Stephens accompanied a group of five students to the event. The students including John Paul Kain, Coleman Sintas, Kierra Smartt, Ross Brown, and Allison Jones competed in three different contests.
The first of which was the Precision Agriculture competition and Kain, Brown, Sintas, and Jones finished as the third high team overall. The students excelled individually as well with Kain finishing second in the Harvesting section, Brown finishing third in the Planting section, Sintas finishing fifth high overall in the UAS section, and Jones finishing seventh in the Spraying category.
The Precision Agriculture contest was made up of three sections. In the component ID sections, students identified equipment used for data collection and variable rate application on a combine, planter, sprayer and drone. In the written exam section, students answered questions relating to precision ag management, hardware requirements, and precision irrigation. A third section involved analysis and interpretation of precision maps and/or data.
The students also competed in the Crops Judging Contest. The team of Kain, Brown, Smartt, and Jones finished a commending fourth overall out of 15 universities. Kain earned an impressive sixth place individual finish.
The crops judging competition is an intensive examination of agronomic skills and knowledge designed around the American Society of Agronomy (ASA) Certified Crop Adviser (CCA) program. The contest consists of four sections: laboratory practical, agronomic exam, math practical and plant and seed identification. In the laboratory practical, competitors identify insects, diseases, equipment, and crop products, plus determine crop growth stages, interpret pesticide labels or seed tags, name plant structures, identify nutrient deficiencies, and evaluate various crop production problems. The agronomic exam evaluated knowledge of crop production and management, crop physiology and breeding, soil properties, soil fertility, tillage, crop harvesting and storage, weeds, insects and diseases. The math practical included equipment calibration, pesticide application and other mathematical calculations. Plant and seed identification requires contestants to identify over 150 plant and seed specimens in vegetative and reproductive growth stages.
Panhandle State was also represented in the Knowledge Bowl contest consisting of questions focusing on agribusiness and farm management, ag mechanics, precision agriculture, animal science, crops and soils, horticulture, and current agricultural events. The team did well winning several rounds.
During the trip to Kentucky, the group had the opportunity to work out at the teaching facilities at Kansas State University in preparation for the Crops Judging contest. The students also got additional preparation for the Precision Agriculture contest at Lakelands Community College in Mattoon, Illinois. Sightseeing took place in St. Louis with a visit to the Budweiser Brewery and the St. Louis Arch. During their time at Murray State University, the team took a fascinating apiary (honeybee) tour.
Coach Curtis Bensch was extremely proud of the students and their finishes at the NACTA contests. “The students put in a lot of hard work in preparation for these events and in turn get a great deal of practical hands-on experience which is great for them as they prepare to start their careers as professional agronomists. I am already looking forward to next year and the upcoming group of what I feel will be another great group of young agronomists.”

A hybrid turf is the combination of natural grass with synthetic turf.
EZ Hybrid Turfs revolutionary design allows for natural grass to grow right on up and blend in with the synthetic turf to create a natural look and feel. It helps to combine the positives of natural grass and artificial turf rather than having to compromise by using one or the other.
EZ Hybrid Turf is a new concept in the synthetic turf industry that has never been seen before. It is constructed on a honeycomb type backing which allows natural grass to grow and combine with EZ Hybrid Turf. Areas that suffer from heavy traffic, areas that don’t receive sunlight, areas that have trouble getting rainfall all could benefit from the hybrid turf. | agronomy |

There was a bit of mist in the morning, but by the time we got to Monster (that is the actual name of the place) it was warm and playing on the beach was a nice reward for cycling the 18 miles through the cities and towns between Delft and the sea. It was quite a bit different for me than last year because the kids weren't with us on the ride. We had great weather (we couldnt say that last year) and the visit to the Greenhouse was enjoyable.
A few takeaways from the Greenhouse:
In the winter months they do quite a bit of warming, so energy consumption was a cost of doing business
Burning kerosene was the old way and plants that were near the burner grew faster (due to CO2
Now that CO2 is piped in to increase production, plants eat it up!
Tiny roots are still started by hand (mechanical processes have been developed in the past three years but the costs of the equipment are very high)
There are royalties for the creation of plant species of $0.06 cents (is that Euros?)
The greenhouse produces 3 million plants a year
The plants are now designed to be ready in les than 8 weeks (7 plantings a year)
Greenhouses in the Electricity Production Role
The greenhouse makes as much money on power generation (depending on prices and peak demands) as they do on their original core business.
The Dutch energy system is more robust because of all these local farmers burning CNG to provide power or using thermal sources. We asked about brown outs and they sort of shrugged it off as something they are unfamiliar with.
The biggest takeaways for me was the power production that they are involved in. A fascinating development and diversification of their business
Future considerations could be whether they will incorporate solar (they obviously use it naturally in the greenhouse) and storing energy in battery systems to address peak demands.
They do a bit of shipping from the facility and they have rucks thaf do this. Taking a look at the vehicles I noticed they have guards on the wheels to reduce the likelihood of cyclists getting pulled under a wheel. | agronomy |

When grown according to nature’s timetable, and not forced to crop too early in spring, or otherwise out of season, strawberries are naturally fully of sweetness and juice. That is because when grown naturally, they will ripen during the longest days of summer, and these long days allow the leaves of the plants to produce lots of sugar and flavour, and this makes these berries much better than any you might buy at Christmas or in springtime. Indeed, the cool Irish summers, combined with long days make for great-flavoured strawberries, especially if they are grown on soil in the open field.
At The Apple Farm we grow a range of varieties; we like to call them our Tipperary strawberries. Among the popular ones are Honeyoye, Eros, Elsanta, Darselect, Vima Tarda and Korona. They are ready for harvest in June, July and August, and on our farm we offer both ready-picked and pick-your-own fruits (not always available).
While they all have different characteristics, all are good for their own reasons, and we have many customers who ask for specific kinds. All are perfect for fresh consumption, but if you have the restraint to put some aside, you can also make great jams and desserts. | agronomy |

Intensive Market Garden
Our two acre garden produces over 100 varieties of 33 different vegetables.
Organic, biodynamic, and permaculture methods are in place. Permanent fruit trees, shrubs, flowers and vines are throughout our vegetable fields. The hardwood forest and pond lying on the borders of the farm add to its existing ecosystems. Moon cycles are analysed. Plant and animal activities are planned around lunar periods. We put great efforts towards building long term life into our soils to sustain the land we make use of.
The seasonal life cycle of our garden is March through to the end of October. A portion of the garden is started inside our wood heated greenhouse in early March and then shifted to our cold frames before being transplanted into the garden. Our greenhouse is also used for producing hardy greens throughout the winter in an unheated environment.
Cover cropping, compost tea and a variety of foliar applications are incorporated in our garden practices. The garden soil is nourished with green manure rotations and cow manure compost applications from our cattle that roam the farmland. Row covers, mulches, companion planting and homeopathic preparations are used for pest control and disease pressure.
Our vegetables are processed and packed in our outdoor farmyard washing facility. It’s nothing to fancy! We take care of the excess dirt and leave the details up to you. Keeping in mind that a little soil holds millions of healthy bacteria, as well as helps preserve the shelf life freshness of the vegetables. | agronomy |

Metal structures have emerged as a vital component in elevating cannabis cultivation practices, offering numerous advantages over traditional cultivation methods. From greenhouse environments to indoor grow facilities, metal structures provide growers with the versatility, durability, and control needed to optimize yield, quality, and efficiency. In this article, you explore how metal farm buildings are transforming cannabis cultivation and propelling the industry forward.
Metal structures, such as greenhouses and indoor grow facilities, give cannabis growers precise control over environmental variables crucial for plant growth. Temperature, humidity, light intensity, and air circulation can all be monitored and adjusted carefully to create optimal growing conditions year-round. By maintaining stable and controlled environments, metal structures help minimize stress on cannabis plants, resulting in healthier growth, higher yields, and superior cannabinoid profiles.
Metal structures offer superior protection against external elements that negatively impact cannabis cultivation. With durable frames and weather-resistant materials, metal structures can bear harsh weather conditions, including extreme temperatures, high winds, and heavy precipitation. This protection ensures the safety and security of cannabis crops, reducing the risk of damage or loss due to adverse weather events and environmental hazards.
Proper light management is essential for maximizing cannabis growth and yield. Metal structures with advanced lighting systems allow growers to optimize light exposure and distribution throughout the cultivation space. By strategically positioning grow lights and utilizing reflective surfaces, metal structures ensure that cannabis plants receive uniform light coverage, promoting consistent growth and bud development. This enhanced light management contributes to higher yields and improved quality in cannabis cultivation.
Metal structures offer efficient use of space, allowing cannabis growers to maximize cultivation capacity and productivity. Vertical farming techniques, such as stacking grow trays or utilizing tiered shelving systems, optimize floor space within metal structures, enabling growers to cultivate more plants in a smaller footprint. This efficient space utilization is particularly advantageous for indoor grow facilities where space may be limited, allowing growers to scale production and increase yields without expanding their physical footprint.
Metal structures promote sustainability and resource efficiency in cannabis cultivation practices. Greenhouses with energy-efficient heating, cooling, and lighting systems reduce energy consumption and minimize environmental impact. Additionally, metal structures can incorporate water-saving technologies, such as drip irrigation and recirculating hydroponic systems, to conserve water and minimize waste. By implementing sustainable cultivation practices within metal structures, cannabis growers can decrease their carbon footprint and operate more eco-friendly facilities.
Metal structures offer growers adaptability and scalability to meet evolving demands and market trends in the cannabis industry. Modular construction allows for easy expansion or reconfiguration of cultivation facilities as needed. Whether scaling up production to meet increased demand or diversifying cultivation methods to incorporate new strains or products, metal structures allow growers to adapt their operations quickly and efficiently. This adaptability ensures that cannabis cultivation facilities remain competitive and responsive to changing market dynamics.
Metal structures have revolutionized cannabis cultivation practices, offering growers unparalleled control, protection, efficiency, and sustainability. By providing controlled environments, protection from external elements, enhanced light management, efficient space utilization, sustainability, and adaptability, metal farm buildings elevate cannabis cultivation to new heights of productivity and quality. As the cannabis industry evolves and expands, metal structures will remain essential tools for growers seeking to maximize yield, quality, and efficiency in their cultivation operations. By harnessing the benefits of metal structures, cannabis growers can cultivate premium-quality cannabis products that meet the demands of an increasingly discerning market. | agronomy |

90 Cases produced
Planted on deep growing and drought tolerant special rootstock, our Old Vine Primitivo grows on a steep hillside at a 2,000-foot altitude in Amador County’s Shenandoah Valley of the Sierra Foothills. It thrives in warm daytime breezes from the Central Valley and cool Sierra evenings, a 30 degree swing in temperature.
The 2016 season was an “El Nino” year characterized by normal rainfall in California which officially ended the five year drought. There was a warm sunny spell in February which forced us to prune about 2 weeks early and then heavy rains and cooler weather from March into May which was nice because it delayed bud break on the grapevines. Harvest came two weeks later than usual but right on target at 25.4 Brix and 3.6 pH. Overall the harvest was still down 30% versus normal yield, a lingering effect of the drought.
Our Primitivo Seta is made by taking the “free run” juice right after fermentation, before pressing the remaining solids, making for a silky and lighter but full-bodied Primitivo wine. After crushing the grapes we removed the stems to minimize tannins and herbal flavors, fermented and punched down the wine manually over two weeks, and then gently bladder-pressed it with an infusion of American medium toasted oak. Secondary malolactic fermentation was done over six months during the winter and the wine was aged for 2 years prior to bottling. It is light on tannins and dances on your tongue with characteristics of plum, dried cherries, black pepper, vanilla and licorice. A very balanced structure and mineral taste due to our Sierra granite soil. Due to its light tannins, it pairs well with anything tomato based, such as spaghetti Bolognese, veal parmigiana, or chicken cacciatore. It is also great with earthy vegetables like mushrooms, onion and eggplant, or dry and firm cheeses.

Author: Kathryn Steed
We all know that eating vegetables is an essential part of getting key nutrients and keeping our bodies performing at their highest levels. There are so many ways to obtain vegetables: canned, frozen, the produce aisle at a supermarket, farmer's market or even growing your own. So are all these ways of consuming vegetables equally healthy or should we try and avoid anything that's not fresh?
There is no doubt that growing your own vegetables is the most nutritious and arguably the tastiest way to eat veggies. With a vegetable garden, you are in control of how they are planted, cared for and harvested, which means that you can grow organic vegetables for much cheaper than buying them at the grocery store. Also, you have the option of planting a greater variety of vegetables. If you have yard space and some spare time, you should try starting a vegetable garden. It's a cheap and environmentally-friendly way to get the most out of your vegetables!
While many of us would love to be able plant and harvest our own produce, it's not always feasible. There are days when we are in a hurry and must quickly dump a can of green beans or frozen spinach into the microwave if vegetables are going to make it on the menu. Are canned and frozen vegetables less healthy than fresh vegetables? Well, there a lot of points to consider: nutrition, cost, shelf-life and taste.
Though not fresh, frozen and canned vegetables have their benefits. In 1998, the FDA confirmed that frozen vegetables are just as healthy (if not more so) than purchasing vegetables from the produce section at your local grocery store. Vegetables are packed with the most nutrients right after they are harvested. The longer the time between harvest and transportation to the grocery store shelf, the more the nutrient level decreases. Since frozen vegetables are picked, blanched and frozen within hours of harvest, they're processed when they are freshest and have the highest amount of nutrients. So don't worry about picking up bags of frozen peas and broccoli; they are still benefiting you and your family's health.
Are canned and frozen vegetables equally healthy? Usually not, although many people prefer their taste because of the added salt and preservatives. When purchasing canned vegetables, added salt is an additional concern, especially if you have or are predisposed to high blood pressure. There are usually reduced sodium or no salt added options, however. Canned veggies also tend to lose a lot of their nutrients during the preservation process, with the exception of tomatoes and pumpkin.
If you don't want to grow your own vegetable garden, the next best thing is to support a local farmer's market. Produce at a farmer's market is fresher than produce at the grocery store. It's also nice to be able to ask how the crop was grown (were pesticides used?) and support your local economy at the same time.
The way produce is prepared also affects the nutrient levels. For example, boiling vegetables in a pot of boiling water can cause vitamins and minerals to leach into the water. The healthiest way to prepare vegetables is to lightly steam them. Since Americans typically only eat about one-third of their daily serving of vegetables, any vegetables are better than none at all. While you should strive to get the most nutrient-packed vegetables on your plate, it's more important to strive to eat a full serving of vegetables each day, no matter where they come from.

With almost 50% of Aotearoa's emissions coming from the agricultural industry, it is vital that we radically change our farming practices from intensive to extensive, from entropic to syntropic, from degenerative to regenerative. While the way we farm has had a significant negative impact on the environment, we can change the way we do things and start to sequester carbon, diversify production, reforest many parts of the region and ensure that the social, environmental and economic spheres start to align again.
We have been trialing various regenerative techniques at the Parihaka Community Garden and our small-scale market garden here in South Taranaki. Every week, we sell veggies at the local market on the coast. | agronomy |

Almost 18 days ago, he planted the bulbs that will produce this spice. It marks his first experience with saffron farming.
Afghanistan is the world’s largest grower of opium poppies, producing more than 90 percent of the world’s supply. In September, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) released results of a survey which showed 6,900 tons of opium were produced in Afghanistan in 2008. The average opium farmer’s gross income was $1,786 in 2008, compared with the average Afghan income of $426.
World organizations have been encouraging Afghan farmers to grow pomegranates, saffron, pistachios, and other crops instead, and a number of farmers in Farah – the second-largest opium producing province – are making the switch to saffron.
About a year ago, Abdurrahman voluntarily started planting legal crops. “We grow saffron to prevent poppy farming in Farah, because it is illegal under Islam, and as Muslims, we should follow what Islam tell us,” he said. An Afghan saffron company provided all the
equipment and saffron bulbs for farmers to grow saffron.
Mohammad Nader Malaki, a spokesman from the Afghan company, said, “We are covering half the acreage of each farm. We distributed 220 kilograms of saffron bulbs for each farmer and about 100 farmers joined with us. For three years, we will buy all the saffron the farmers produce.”
Saffron is easy to grow and needs very little care and water, which is important in the dry provinces of Afghanistan. The bulbs are planted late in October and will harvest in January.
“Farah is notorious for opium cultivation, but now we want to make it famous for saffron. The weather is warm in Farah and the saffron project will be success,” said the head of the Farah Province agricultural department, Mohammad Aslam Dana. The farmers are hopeful for the saffron harvest in Farah, as they believe that this would be a good alternative to poppies. In one year, one kilogram of saffron fetches more than 150000 Afghanis in Afghanistan’s main bazaar.
“This morning I looked out over my farm and I saw it (the saffron) growing normally,” said Asaf, a farmer in Yazdi village.
“I do believe that the international community will help us more if we abandon poppies,” said Abdurrahman, who knows that growing saffron or a legal crop, rather than opium poppies, is the way to go, especially if Farah residents want to see more development projects. | agronomy |

But while it’s less detailed and riper than many of Bergström’s other wines, it’s delicious, a tension between savory notes and broad-shouldered red fruit, texturally seductive and lavished with oak-derived spice."
WS 91 pts: Floral and expressive raspberry and violet aromas open to polished and delicately layered pomegranate, anise and spice flavors that finish with refined tannins. Drink now through 2023.
WE 90 pts: Cranberry and raspberry hold down the center of this blend, which serves as the entry point to the winery's extensive single vineyard portfolio. Citrus and herb flavors are well integrated, with just a hint of stem in the finishing tannins.
Winemaker Notes: Dark ruby in color with bright crunchy fresh fruit, earthy intensity, a reductive flintiness, mushroom-laden and an almost Barbaresco-esque aromatic profile with dried herbs, flowers, meat, and pipe tobacco. It has succulent acidity and really fine tannins.
“1000 Days of Effort”
"The Bergström Wines’ work ethic is rooted in this family and team mantra.
It takes us three years to farm, ferment, age, and finish every single bottle before we can bring the wine to market.
Bergström Wines believes that the greatest source of new world Pinot Noir and Chardonnay is Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Our hand-crafted products do not come from large-scale industrial manufacturing, but from a natural, smaller, and simpler process, marrying artisan to agriculture. Being consumers ourselves, and aware of the importance of value and authenticity, only the finest wines, worthy of donning our family’s crest and label, are hand-bottled for your consideration.
Our dedicated farming team stewards 70 acres of ecosystem across 5 unique estate vineyard properties in the Dundee Hills, Chehalem Mountains, and Ribbon Ridge American Viticultural Areas (AVA’s) in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. From the inception of our vineyards in 1999, our estates have been farmed without the use of herbicides, pesticides, insecticides, or systemic chemicals. We also prefer composting and treating with homeopathic herbal and mineral teas, rather than using synthetic fertilizers. Each year, we build hundreds of tons of our own compost piles with local and organic cow manure, local and organic straw and grasses, all of our previous harvest’s fermented grape skins, seeds, stems and winter vine-prunings, as well as curative herbs like chamomile, yarrow, valerian, dandelion and stinging nettle. When added back to our vineyards each spring, this compost helps build rich, fertile complex soils with better structure, water holding capacity, and vitality.
We believe in attention to detail, respect for the land, and products of purity and place. Our wines pair best with local, fresh foods, drink well in their youth, but also age and develop magnificently for years in the cellar. These wines are a vinous road map to the different marine sedimentary and volcanic hillsides where we grow Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Our wines’ regional expression has juicy, natural acidity, fresh fruit aromas and flavors, a tensile and saline mineral core, as well as rich earth and spice characters from our ancient weathered soils and bedrocks.
Being from Oregon, it is important to us that we take care of Oregon’s green landscapes. Our pastures, forests, streams, rivers, and most importantly the fields, vineyards, and orchards that give our people food and nourishment are what make this great western state so unique and worth protecting. Take comfort in knowing that when drinking and sharing Bergström Wines with your family and friends that ours is a natural practice in purity, positivity, and vitality." www.bergstromwines.com | agronomy |

A flock of sheep in Thessaly, Greece, consumed 100 kg of cannabis. After that, the herd of sheep started behaving abnormally. The herd of sheep is jumping and running.
In Greece, life is disrupted by severe floods, and the sheep arrive at a cannabis farm in a village in search of food. This flock of sheep ate about 100 kg of cannabis, seeing the green leaves there, mistaking them for food.
The owner of the farm told the local media, “I can’t understand how this happened.” Thinking that sheep have eaten ganja brings laughter and tears come when thinking about the loss of 100 kg of ganja.
Many crops were destroyed due to the heat wave. Then came the flood. I lost almost everything. The sheep got into the greenhouse and cleaned it all unpathed owner of the farm said that the flock of sheep was jumping a lot due to intoxication. It was difficult to handle them. | agronomy |

Despite hemp’s growing popularity, and the recent Farm Bill legislation that now permits hemp to be grown for research in states with hemp farming laws in place, the Federal policy for hemp farming – created in the 1930’s is outdated and currently prevents U.S. farmers from widely growing this nutritious, versatile, and eco-friendly crop.

Seven households in each community received a sheep each which is expected to reproduce and help in improving the livelihood of its owner.
The initiative is part of the project’s aim of cutting down poverty levels in communities in rural northern Ghana by providing sustainable livelihood ventures.
Each household is expected to rear the sheep and get it to multiply, and then give back two young ones after two years, these would be given to other households so as to ensure that the distribution chain continues.
To ensure the animals remain in good health always, there are veterinary officers, trained and stationed in the communities to extend services to all the households.
Officer in charge of the Farm Promoting Urban Waste for Livelihood and Food security Project, Mr. John Adams said the reason for the recovery of two sheep is to gauge and improve the seriousness of the farmers in taking care of the animals.
He added that as part of moves to make the production process streamlined, plans are underway to give the communities a ram each which will be going round the households from time to time mating the sheep.
Programmes Manager for WUZDA Ghana, Mr. Abdul Karim Ziblim offered the households some tips on how to feed the animals well to ensure they grow well and healthy to get them produce well.
The beneficiaries expressed their gratitude to WUZDA and pledged not to let the laudable initiative down by ensuring the animals are taken care of very well and kept under proper monitoring condition so they do not get lost or die.
The Farm Promoting Urban Waste for Livelihood and Food security is a two year pilot project expected to help in alleviating poverty in the six target communities through advanced practices of vegetable gardening with the use of the bucket drip irrigation system.
The other component of the Farm Promoting Urban Waste for Livelihood and Food security Project is the distribution of small ruminants (sheep) to the households in the target communities.
The project is being funded by the Bread For The World, a charity organization based in Germany. | agronomy |

It has been cultivated for over 4000 years. Today, rice is the most widely grown cereal in the world. It is a daily part of the diet for half of the people on this planet. One reason for the popularity of rice is that it can be stored for a long period of time. A property that is also very important in the eye pillow.
Occurrence: Rice is grown worldwide between 50° North and 40° South. Contrary to popular belief that rice can only be grown in warm, water-rich regions, it also thrives at high altitudes with low temperatures (Himalayas), in nutrient-poor soils (Africa) or in areas with little water (on the edge of the desert). Rice is also grown in Europe, especially in Italy in the Po Valley.
For the eye pillows is Round grain rice is the best choice. Due to its shape, round grain rice spreads evenly. In addition, there is little friction among the rice grains. Other additions to the eye pillow such as lavender or Swiss stone pine flakes are also spared and last longer.
Attention: The rice must not be exposed to moisture or great heat. Therefore, do not wash the inlay. Never put the inlay in the oven or microwave to heat it up.

It helps in nurturing the roots of your plants. However, homeowners have different garden sizes, which can be very tricky when it comes to hydrating their flowers and plants.
Now, the retractable pressure washer hose reel deal is, why not use a retractable hose reel to make all the work easier?
No need to use a watering can that can be a waste of time and energy. With a retractable one, you can just wander in your garden while ensuring that all your plants receive all the water that they need.
When it comes to durability, you don’t need to worry. This self-retractable hose reel is not only convenient, but it offers competitive pricing, which is just fair to its function and quality. So, why not put a little bit of an upgrade to your gardening area?
How To Acquire The Most Suitable Garden Hose?
When you are in the stage where you need to choose the best retractable hose reel, rest assured that it can be tough. Firstly, you need to consider the garden size, convenience, price, durability, and quality.
Secondly, you need to identify if it is also easy to use to avoid any hassle while using it. To ease this aspect, Giraffe tools got everything covered.
A retractable hose reel consists of an intensified polypropylene casing that never fades or deforms despite rain or sun exposure. Every connection is made of brass which is obviously more durable than aluminum alloy. Whereas the hybrid hose is surely abrasion-resistant, durable, and got no memory.
One thing also that contributes to the convenience of this hose is that it locks and unlocks from whichever part you are in the garden, as they have a very usable hose locker. As long as you are finished watering the grass and plants, you can just lock it–eliminating the hassle of pulling off a certain hose length just to do it.
It also has an auto-rewind system which prevents cable breakage, especially during its utilization and extension. The 9-mode hose nozzle also helps in watering a huge portion of the garden area. This retractable hose also has a 180-degree with swivel bracket, which is also going to allow you to move it in any motion you desire.
Also, some features that make retractable hoses reels stand out from any other hoses are Reel(PP), Hose(PVC), Bracket(PP) screws, (metal)plugs (plastic) which were assembled by experts to ensure that any other type of pulling and water pressure will not be a hindrance when being used.
When it comes to water temperature, it can endure up to 104 °F and is UV-Resistant which is helpful since it is highly exposed to sunlight during the day. Universal Dimensions usually fall into 5.19″*3.85″*8.5″ and can be installed at any time upon assembly. Additionally, it can also hold up to 1.2 MPA maximum pressure which makes the user worry-free while using it.
It is natural for homeowners to think that the longer the hose, is more likely it is to reach any portion of your garden. Plus, it is extremely convenient for you not to need to come back and forth to fetch a pail of water or fill your watering can. For example, a 100 ft retractable garden hose reel is perfect for garden use.
Yes, it can be reasonable to purchase the longest retractable hose reel available on the market, but the thing is, you always have to consider the pricing since it can be costly because of its features.
Aside from competitive pricing, longer hoses may pose some challenges, especially when it comes to moving, storing, and draining. Sometimes, it can also hinder water pressure if it intertwines with small vines or maybe because of your excessive pulling.
Whereas a retractable pressure washer hose reel can give you less hassle and worry because there are no cables, wires, or hose cords to trip over. Usually, retractable hoses are 3-5 feet in length, but they can be extended to 130 feet which is ideal for an extensive garden.
When it comes to installation, you do not have to worry that much; retractable hoses have pre-installed 130 feet hybrid hoses, which are going to definitely lock any sort of length to cover every garden portion. Once installed on any walls.
The retractable hose reel can initially automatically be retracted by pulling them after usage. To also save space, a 180-degree swivel bracket can help fold it to the wall.
A retractable hose reel is ideal for homeowners who would like to make sure that every part of the garden is being watered at any time. No need to spend too much time on your garden since everyone has got something to do during the day.
The convenience that these hoses provide is undeniably great. Yes, it can be costly, but why not spend some money on something that could save your time and energy? Now is the time to get one and see for yourself! | agronomy |

Getting to the Root of It at Landscape Garden Centers
It’s Spring! The grass is starting to green, the trees are beginning to bud and you’re planning your flower beds and patio pots.
Every year, I look forward to the Spring Open House at Landscape Garden Centers. It’s my first chance to walk through the greenhouse and pick out my flowers for my patio pots and flower beds. My favorite flowers include zinnias, snapdragons, double impatiens – I like them all! Your options are endless when it comes to creating a stunning garden. There’s a fountain of color, from impatiens and petunias to coleus and geraniums.
If you’ve been to Landscape Garden Centers in the spring, you’ve seen these HUGE hanging baskets chocked full of blooms, and you wonder, how is that possible? How can you have massive baskets overflowing with flowers in April? I had to know the secret.
I know that Landscape Garden Centers grows a lot of their flowers on site, but how do you grow flowers in our winter, especially the winter we just suffered through?
I called Betty, the garden center manager at Landscape Garden Centers, and she told me all of their secrets.
Betty said they order their plants in the fall and the plugs are delivered in February. They unpack the flowers, put them hanging baskets and other pots and water them in pH balanced soil. The plugs grow in their temperature-controlled greenhouses behind the main store.
You’d think you could just sit back, water the plugs and watch them grown, but there is so much more to growing the perfect flower. The staff fertilizes the plants, scouts for pests and disease and they trim and prune the flowers so they bloom at the right time. Not only do they take care of their plugs in this manner, they do this for all of their plants including the ones they buy-in that are ready for sale. You know you’ll be taking home healthy plants.
A lot of work goes in to making sure you have healthy looking flowers all season long. You can be assured you’re getting high quality plants that have been cared for like their own children.
The containers will finally make their way to the main store in late April where they’ll be ready for you to take home and nurture. This is a look at the store last May. Look at these beautiful hanging baskets.
Landscape Garden Centers is located just south of 69th on Minnesota Avenue. The Spring Open House is May 3 and 4. | agronomy |

The rose itself is very popular with gardeners of all ability as it is easy to grow and stays in bloom for a considerable amount of time. In addition, it also a stunning asset in any garden. Speaking to Asif Ali Gohar on his new creation he said; ‘It took me a long time. I had to do a lot of research and test different roses to get what I wanted. Discover more information on mr asif Ali Gohar.
While the Gohar rose can mainly be found in Lahore, Pakistan – Asif Ali Gohar has been in talks with multiple gardening and botany organizations to have the roses widespread across the country, and eventually across the world. There have already been inquiries from several neighboring countries to have the Gohar rose grown there, but Pakistan is the first priority for Asif. He has also attempted to conduct workshops to guide gardeners of the best practices in rose growing that he has learned over the years in his career.
While veganism is a niche market, it is on the rise in Pakistan. That is especially true among the youth as they are becoming more conscious of their choices. People are switching to vegan alternatives for everything to create a better world for the coming generations. One such pioneer in the vegan world is Asif Ali Gohar. He is trying to transform the vegan leather industry through his research and ideas. We interviewed him to understand more about his ventures. So, keep reading for an in-depth look into the vegan leather industry in Pakistan.
Using An Affordable Material: Vegan leather is expensive because other companies are using costly materials to make vegan leather items. On the other hand, rice is a staple item, and it is readily available everywhere, which means it is much cheaper. Using rice as a vegan alternative will allow Asif to offer affordable prices to his customers, which will mean more people will shift to this substitute. Staying True To His Roots: Since he was twelve, Asif has been in Germany, but he is using rice to stay true to his Pakistani roots. That is because Pakistan is the tenth biggest rice exporter worldwide, and it produces 8% of the world’s total rice trade. So, Asif wants to use the knowledge of the best rice producers and ensure quality vegan leather. | agronomy |

C3 plants close their stomata on hot, dry days to limit water loss. In doing this, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the leaf air space falls, which causes the Calvin cycle to slow down
Examples of C3 plants: (Rice, Wheat, Soybean)
C4 plants open their stomata during the day. In C4 plants, carbon dioxide is added to a 3-carbon compound, known as PEP, with the aid of PEP carboxylase, which has a high affinity for carbon dioxide. The resulting four-carbon compound is formed in the mesophyll cells of a leaf and is transported to the bundlesheath cells tightly packed around the veins inside of a leaf. This compound is then broken down to release the carbon dioxide, creating concentrations high enough that rubisco will accept the carbon dioxide and initiate the Calvin cycle.

Through the said program, a concept of strategic independence is created. Though assuring the community’s food security is one of the goals of this program, it goes beyond that. It aims to serve as a melting pot of individuals and communities that are independent, empowered and dignified to produce agents of change for the community itself.
KABUNA AND MANLETEN AS PILOT COMMUNITIES
Two villages from the Belu Regency, NTT – Kabuna and Manleten, were chosen as pilot communities for the ‘Raising a Village’ Program due to the readiness of the human capital and natural resources available. The newly-formed community (ex East Timor) with its unique characteristics seemed perfect as a pilot project despite the existence of a myriad of challenges.
TRICKLE/DRIP SYSTEM AS AN ALTERNATIVE
The unforgiving heat and arid condition, in itself, served as a big challenge for the people in the community in developing their agricultural work. For this community, water is expensive and considered a luxury. Water supply for their daily needs is scarce enough so what more for agricultural purposes. Despite all these challenges, their drive to assure food security could not be hindered.
USED PLASTIC BOTTLES, VEGETABLES IN POLYBAGS
A simple innovation of water irrigation using “Trickle or Drip system” was introduced by Ibu Dian Luan (Head of RWD Belu), Ibu Fatimah Luan, Oktavina/Oka Ramos (Head of RWK Weliurai) and other friends from Belu back in 2017. It proved to be really effective then, that it became an alternative choice for use.
Now, with the implementation of the “Raising A Village” program, water irrigation remains to be a challenge that would surely demotivate those who are weak, lazy and pessimistic. This is where the “Trickle/Drip irrigation system” can be utilized and developed once again.
As the name suggests, the ‘trickle/drip irrigation’ makes use of water bottles punctured at the bottom with a sharp object like a needle, just enough to let water trickle down from the hole. The bottle is then tied securely to a pole placed near the plant and allowed to irrigate the plant as needed. The volume flow of the water can be adjusted accordingly by loosening or tightening the bottle cap.
REDUCING PLASTIC WASTE
This ‘trickle irrigation’ is a simple yet wise solution to combat the challenges presented by the dry soil and at the same time, it helps reduce plastic waste that contribute to the pollution.
Not only was this innovation utilized for irrigation but it also became a strategy to reduce plastic waste pollution. As stated by Ibu Dian, “One of our programs is reducing plastic waste. Reducing does not mean eliminating but creatively repurposing it. In addition, this innovation is directed to help farm in dry land as well as to break the mentality of the community: “since there is no water, we cannot farm.”
PLANTING OF PAPAYA AND CHILI, A COMMUNITY ACTIVITY
With the trickle/drip irrigation system in place, 120 seedlings of Californian papaya and red pepper have been planted via multi-cropping on a 1,100 m/sq land owned by Mr. Abito Ramos, Oka Ramos’ father with the help of the whole community through gotong royong.
Like most people who are accustomed to social assistance, especially from large NGOs, the Wadah-assisted community in Weilurai, Kabuna village, Belu, is also difficult to mobilize. But the friends of the Wadah warriors did not give up. They encouraged teachers, volunteers, parents of students, youth, etc. to take part in cultivating the land, and to take part in planting.
Everyone was given some Californian papaya seedlings to plant. Every person also had to collect used bottles to be used for the ‘drip system irrigation.’ Each row of plant bears the name of the person who planted it (marked with a sign card) thus, making that person responsible for caring for the said plant and making sure that the drip bottle is filled with water once or twice a day (depending on the size of the bottle).
EDUCATING THE YOUTH
This activity also aims to teach the youth not to be too obsessed with technology and the worldly life, where children think everything can be bought easily. This program also aims to help build character through creative and innovative ways by encouraging people to live peacefully with nature through recycling used items and repurposing them. This is where non-consumptive behavior is being nurtured.
Through this program, the community is being made aware that we are living in a world where there is strong interdependence. Everything we do has consequences and may affect others. Thus, if we are irresponsible, we are putting the burden on the larger ecosystem. Our society’s consumptive behavior and habit of littering, therefore, not only affect our lives in this moment but most especially it is a grave threat to the lives of the future generation.
ENCOURAGING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT In all of the activities being done, Wadah is working towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals: ’Sustainable Consumption and Production” (SDG #12), ‘Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss (SDG #15), as well as taking part and immediately taking action, however small, to combat climate change and its effects (SDG #13). All of this is done effectively through simple agricultural innovations like the drip/trickle irrigation system in dry and barren land. This is the role carried out by Wadah Foundation as an organization with Special Consultative Status in ECOSOC since 2016, which is taking part in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. | agronomy |

What is the Agricultural and Working Lands Conservation Plan?
Mariposa County applied for and won the Sustainable Agricultural Lands Conservation (SALC) Planning Grant to fund the creation of a County Agricultural and Working Landscape Conservation Plan (AWLCP). The AWLCP is key to the implementation of specific General Plan tasks, while reinforcing established County policies for the protection and longevity of the County’s long-cherished Ag lands and achieving the State's Greenhouse Gas reduction and climate goals.
With roughly half of the County’s 1,463 square miles designated as Agricultural/Working Land Use under the County’s General Plan, Agriculture is an essential element to the identity of rural Mariposa County. Preserving, nurturing, and enhancing that character is at the heart of the community’s General Plan. While Mariposa County has established policies for conservation of Agriculture and Open Space, agricultural lands are still likely to face conversion risks in the future. The AWLCP reinforces these policies by prescribing a value to agricultural and working lands and demonstrating the importance of conservation planning and related programs (Land Conservation Act).
Additionally, there are fundamental, yet not fully understood, impacts of climate change on all of Mariposa County’s landscapes, including its agricultural ones. As warmer temperatures, changing wildlife behaviors, and catastrophic events like wildfire, drought, and flooding continue to reshape the environment, the sustainability and viability of current agricultural practices becomes increasingly uncertain. Through the SALC project and AWLCP development, the hope is to better understand the critical contributions that Mariposa County’s agricultural lands both currently make, and could make later, to our economic and ecological future.
Who is creating the AWLCP?
The Mariposa County SALC project partners and core team include the Mariposa County Resource Conservation District, California Cattlemen’s Association, University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources Cooperative Extension, Sierra Foothill Conservancy, Mariposa Future Farmers of America, and the County Agricultural Commissioner’s Office. The team is playing an important and active role in creating the AWLCP alongside the selected consultant, Cultivate LLC, in order to fulfill the project objectives and tasks for the plan’s creation and adoption.
Who is funding this project?
This project is being funded by the California Department of Conservation’s SALC Program which protects at-risk agricultural lands from sprawl development in order to promote growth within existing jurisdictions, ensure open space remains available, and support a healthy agricultural economy. To learn more about the State of California's SALC Program, follow this link. The resolution to apply for the SALC Program grant was unanimously approved by the Board of Supervisors on September 10, 2019.
What are the next steps for this project?
The second draft of the AWLCP was completed in July 2023. The Core Team will collect community input on the draft during Fall 2023. Following the community input period, the consultants will incorporate the feedback in to the third draft of the AWLCP. Once the Core Team agrees on the final draft, the AWLCP will go to the Board of Supervisors for adoption.

The Right Ingredients for Your Lawn’s Fertilizer Services
You may already know that lawn fertilizer can come in all kinds of combinations and mixtures, and it can definitely be a little daunting sorting through all the different options out there. We take our fertilizer mixes very seriously and plan the right mix for each lawn we deal with. In any lawn fertilizer you’re bound to find three major elements: nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium.
Nitrogen provides a healthy green look for your lawn as it grows.
Phosphorus prods that growth and develops your new grass seed.
Potassium strengthens your lawn against disease and helps water retention.
Typically you’ll see these ingredients listed on any bag of fertilizer in a series of three numbers indicating the percentage of each in the mix.
The Proper Amount Of Fertilizer For Your Lawn
You may have found the right fertilizer for your lawn, and even the right schedule, but without the proper amount of fertilizer for your treatments, your lawn will not succeed. The biggest factor in determining your treatment size is the square footage of your lawn. It’s critical to have the right amount of fertilizer for your square footage.
The Right Schedule For An Amazing Lawn
The timing for your fertlizer services is just as important as the first two steps of this process. Timing is critical to get your lawn to a healthy state. At Ranger Lawn Care, we carefully consider the schedule of treatments based on the rate that nitrogen releases from the specific fertilizer mix that your lawn needs. Lawn grass needs a steady, consistent feeding of nitrogen to produce a lucious green lawn. Time-released fertilzers deliver the right amounts of nitrogen to produce a great lawn in a minimal amount of time.

11 June 2019 | Written by Alberto Laratro
Increasing quantities of land are used to feed a growing population, eroding the quantity of forests and green areas, CO2 deposits that, once cut, end up in the atmosphere. Being able to restore CO2 to the ground is essential to combat climate change. We interviewed Danilo Alaimo of Nerabiochar, an Italian company that found a way to do it.
More than 37% of our planet’s soil is used for agriculture, while only 31% is covered by forests. And these two percentages are destined to spread apart more and more: an increasing number of trees, in fact, is cut down to make space for crops, often high yield monocultures such as soy and rice, which have the unpleasant side effect of exhausting the soil resources. The problem is two times serious when we consider that each tree cut contributes to the amount of carbon dioxide, CO2, present in the atmosphere, a value that we cannot afford to grow. Different realities are looking for solutions and one of these could be biochar.
Plants, CO2 stores. Plants have the ability to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere, bringing it into the ground and at the same time releasing oxygen into the atmosphere. This phenomenon, which is called “carbon sequestration”, is good for the environment, at least until the plants are in the ground. If they are cut and then burned or left to macerate, they release the CO2 they have accumulated in their lives back into the atmosphere, contributing to the amount of greenhouse gases in the air and aggravating the climate crisis.
Finding more effective and innovative ways to sequester carbon from the atmosphere to reinsert it into the soil is essential to address the ever-increasing amount of land taken from forests and used for cultivation. While on the one hand efforts are increasingly being made towards reforestation, on the other it is important that substantial seizures of carbon are also carried out in the cultivated fields. This need was met by an Italian company, Nerabiochar, which, through the production of biochar, has developed an efficient and effective method to do so.
The Biochar. Biochar is obtained from wood through a high temperature and low oxygen thermal process, it is a material with many uses and that could help in the fight against the climate crisis, even in almost unexpected ways: “we all know that one good percentage of greenhouse gas emissions is caused by intensive farming – explained the head of research and development of Nerabiochar Stefano Caro – biochar, can be taken by animals and therefore, if used on farms, there is an improvement in the welfare of the animal and a reduction in its gas emissions since it acts as a sponge ”.
To learn more about this material, we asked President Danilo Alaimo to tell us about the Nerabiochar.
What is biochar?
Biochar, also called vegetable carbon, is a matrix that derives from wood chips, wood processing waste. Charcoal has a number of benefits and special purposes. Through our technology, we have succeeded in obtaining a very pure material, which has no pollutants, unlike classic coal.
How is biochar used and what are its benefits?
Biochar has many uses, but first of all, it is born as an agricultural soil conditioner: fertilizers are divided into fertilizers and soil conditioners, fertilizers are those that you put into the soil to supply it with nutrients, the soil improver is what fix its structure. The biochar, once placed in the soil, has a particular porosity, so it allows a high bacterial settlement: it can be called a home for bacteria. In addition, it retains water and releases it slowly along with a series of minerals of which it is composed. In the growth tests, we have seen that on average the plants grow 100% faster, so a very important result. Obviously, the data changes from crop to crop, it is not a panacea for all ills but offers this possibility.
What role does biochar play in the fight against climate change?
Since the industrial age was born, human beings do nothing but take carbon from underground and put it into the environment, with consequent pollution. What is it that holds carbon back? Plants, which are real carbon batteries. Only that if plants are cut and burned or left to decompose, they release this carbon again in the form of CO2 or other greenhouse gases in the air. Biochar, to be used for agricultural purposes, is put underground: at the moment when it is returned to the ground, the carbon is physically returned to the ground.
You mentioned that there are other uses besides agriculture, what are they?
Biochar can also be used for water filtration. Furthermore, we are exploring two very interesting sectors, the pharmaceutical and the food sectors. We are not yet structured to attack this market, we still need to understand what the parameters for the ASL are: even if we already respect the chemical parameters we do not know what the production parameters are. What we do know is that at the European level for the food purpose you must have a maximum content of PAHs, which are the hydrocarbons contained within the biochar, below 4 parts per million, we are below 0.500.
Therefore, ours is a very pure product: we have developed a specific technology to produce biochar that is giving excellent results.
What is this new technology?
We started with a rotary kiln, an instrument that is on the market to dry wood chips, and we perfected it by studying a production cycle that allows us to have a purer product. We succeeded through the experience we developed thanks to Solara energy, another company that is part of our group that has been investing in the biomass sector for 5 years. Furthermore, the contribution of our research and development manager, engineer Stefano Caro, a brain returned to Italy, who specialized in the sector in Norway and Finland, who learned the secrets of this material by studying and using it for years.
All this today allows us to have an Italian product, obtained from certified wood, with very high purity, obtained from the processing waste of those who produce quality chips for cogenerators. We gave these scraps, which would otherwise be merely burned in boilers along with the rest of the biomass, a second life, turning them into a primary asset. A single product brings together many qualities, it is a virtuous project. | agronomy |

Inflation is all over the news, with gasoline prices rising, stocks falling into bearish territory, the war in Ukraine cutting off resources and the pandemic continuing to squeeze the supply chain. But there’s one place where consumers don’t see prices going up: the cannabis store.
The weed industry has not entirely escaped inflation. The cost of materials needed to grow cannabis has increased dramatically. On the contrary, stable prices at dispensaries indicate a high supply of weed and intense competition. There are so many products on the market that stores are reluctant to raise prices for fear of losing customers to the corner store. Farmers too.
The start of the pandemic saw a surge in cannabis sales, as people stocked up on weed and other goods to help them through the lockdown. There was more demand for weed than supply at first, and not enough to satisfy people’s appetites.
Now the opposite is true. Due to inflation, people are tightening their belts and hoarding extra money to buy gas, food and other goods. This has led to an oversupply of cannabis products, with customers suddenly having less money to spend.

There’s too much weed on the market
Competition for customers between cannabis stores is high at the moment as there is an abundance of products on the market. With the price of most other goods in the economy rising, cannabis stores kept their prices the same, just to attract customers.
“Any of the stores that raise their prices on their own, [it] would be a bit of a death sentence at this point. Customers know they have plenty of options,” said Jason McKee, managing director and buyer at Ganja Goddess in Seattle, Washington. “It’s a dangerous game to raise prices.”
An indicator of the market as a whole, sales appear to have fallen slightly at the Seattle store, but there is no cause for alarm. The store has not had to cut staff or hours.
“There’s definitely been a small percentage drop in sales, especially as it drags on; gasoline prices continue to rise. So while that’s the case, I think we’re going to see a downturn,” McKee said. “Usually we just try to keep the customer interested and keep them coming back.”
The same is true for winegrowers. They have to compete with other producers and cannot afford to raise prices when selling to dispensaries because there are so many products on the market. Growers and retailers currently seem locked into current price levels, fearful of raising prices even as their spending increases.
McKee said he buys product from about 60 growers and sellers and only two have raised prices, and one has even lowered prices.
The US cannabis industry now supports 321,000 full-time jobs
Producers feel the pressure
The global supply chain is still in a mess due to the pandemic and shipments are curtailed all over the world. All goods from overseas face long waits and backing up at the dock, driving up the prices of even the simplest materials, including those needed to grow and sell cannabis.
“Like almost every industry, we’re really feeling the pressure when it comes to the supply chain,” said Matt Gaboury, co-founder of House of Cultivar, a grower in Seattle. “We’ve had to switch suppliers for some things just to be able to get the packaging materials or some of the supplies we need… Everything is more expensive than three years ago.”
But as the prices of materials for growing cannabis rise, the amount of money growers can get for their crop when selling to dispensaries is not. Again, the abundance of weeds on the market has also created strong competition among growers. Producers keep prices low simply to sell their products, forcing them to bear the additional costs of materials.
“I think where our industry feels the problem is because the cost of all of this has gone up, so obviously our cost of production is going up and the price remains static; that means our margins are shrinking,” Gaboury said. “If anything, they trended down, not up, to match inflation.”
Supply chain issues have also affected the availability of basic materials. “Things that would usually take 60 days [is now taking] double the time, easy. We had a packing container that was in port for probably almost six months,” Gaboury said.
Even the war in Ukraine affects the cannabis industry. Ukraine and Russia export 28% of the world’s fertilizers (those containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium). Trade disruptions and wartime economic sanctions have drastically reduced these supplies, sometimes doubling the price of fertilizers, including those needed to grow cannabis.
“I can get most fertilizers, but the one I want for the summer isn’t available,” said Joe Poulter, owner of Fire Flower, an Oregon grower. He estimates that the cost of fertilizers and other materials purchased from agricultural suppliers has increased by about 25% in recent months.
Also, items that you may not think much of, but are essential for growing plants, have gone up in price. For its outdoor grow, Poulter estimates that 20-gallon pots have gone from around $6 a pot to around $9.
Gaboury from House of Cultivar mentioned that their coir, a medium used to grow plants instead of soil, has doubled or even tripled in price because it is sourced overseas.
Multiply those seemingly small increases by hundreds or even thousands of plants for some crops, and that’s a significant additional cost.

What will the weed market do next?
The stock market’s plunge into bearish territory this week is not a good sign for the US economy, and the Federal Reserve took a huge step in tackling inflation last week, dramatically raising interest rates to calm the economy.
For now, retail prices at cannabis stores seem stable, but consumers aren’t buying weed as much as more of their budget is eaten up by gas, food and other items. goods whose cost has increased due to inflation.
At this point, it is the cannabis growers who feel the most pressure. Eventually, producers may have to raise prices to make ends meet or face bankruptcy. Higher wholesale prices would likely result in higher retail prices at the dispensary.
But unless all producers can collectively raise prices, some producers could be driven out of business by others who can still afford to sell at low wholesale prices.
Besides the difficulties of the US economy, another variable in this equation is that the cannabis industry itself is volatile, constantly expanding and contracting. It’s a highly competitive industry with operators coming up and going bust all the time. The nascent market is still growing, even in states that have been selling legal cannabis for several years.
“We haven’t really reached stabilization,” said Gaboury of House of Cultivar. “In a state like Washington, we’re a bit more of a mature industry…so I think our roller coaster ride is starting to flatten out. Our troughs and peaks aren’t as important as they used to be. It’s always variable, but it becomes less and less, and more and more coherent.
The full effects of inflation on weed prices are yet to be seen, but the market has proven resilient and able to rebound. In the meantime, support your local cannabis store and grower. | agronomy |

We’ll be releasing new videos and we’ll be making some major changes to the way we work.
In the meantime, here’s what to expect: The world’s largest cannabis farm will be moving its operations to the new premises at Lismore, Queensland.
The company, which has more than 500 hectares of cannabis growing capacity, announced that it had completed the final piece of its move from Australia to Queensland.
It’s been three years since the company announced the closure of its operations in Queensland and its future there remains uncertain.
But it’s not the end of the story, as we will be updating you as we progress.
What you need to know about the Lismores Lismours new site.
The first phase of the company’s move will see the company move to its new facilities at Lisman Road in Lismor, which is about four kilometres away from the Listedro facility.
Lismorio Farms has more facilities in Queensland than any other licensed grower, including a growing centre in the northern Queensland town of Nudgee.
Its operations have been based at Listedros Lismoria for more than a decade.
The Lismorpion facility is the second-largest licensed grow facility in Australia, according to the Cannabis Control Commission.
As part of the move, the Listores Listorio Farms will relocate its production to Lismoro, a farming community in south-west Queensland.
This new location will allow the company to better meet growing demand for its product, which it describes as a ‘natural, cannabis-based, cannabis product’.
The Listoros Listoro Farms will also become the second licensed grow operation to expand its operations, following on from the other Lismorestor facility.
The new facilities will bring a total of about 600 hectares of production capacity to the Lists farm, which currently has around 300 hectares of land and approximately 4,500 employees.
The Australian Food Safety Authority is reviewing the Lismanores Listicorio Farms move to ensure the safety of the products that it produces.
‘It’s a bit of a surprise’ The Australian Government is reviewing all existing licences in the country to ensure that they can continue to supply the Australian public with safe and legal cannabis products.
The move comes just a few weeks after the government announced that the Liscoror Cannabis Board would be reviewing its licence.
Liscorpion Farms announced in March 2017 that it would be moving production to a new facility in the Northern Territory.
The farm will have about 1,000 hectares of grown cannabis, which will make it Australia’s third largest cannabis producer.
The announcement came after it was revealed that there was a lack of supply of the drug in the state, and a shortage of the product itself.
The closure of Lismori Farms has seen the company grow into the largest licensed cannabis grower in Australia and is expected to create at least 10,000 jobs.
The Government is considering several options to deal with the closure, including transferring the operation to a third party or transferring the farm to a private company.
The Department of Agriculture is also considering an additional 10,400 jobs at Liscorio Farms. | agronomy |

Farmers can use this sort of finance to:
- Buy equipment
- Grow crops
- Help bring products to market
This is where agricultural finance institutions step in to provide mechanisms that allow farmers to keep their farms operational. These mechanisms are specifically tailored to the financial needs of farmers.
Agricultural finance is a crucial component of the economy, especially in countries with large portions of arable land like South Africa.
South Africas carried climate, which encompasses subtropical and Mediterranean elements, offers a variety of farming opportunities. Due to its high quality, South Africa's biodiversity means that goods like grains, fruit and wine are exported.
To increase their revenues, many farmers understand that they must diversify. Farmers may not only raise a single commodity or one kind of livestock to achieve this. They might need to consider alternatives to their current crops. To help farmers reach their financial objectives, alternative financial institutions can provide the financing they need.
CorpFin provides a variety of financing options, some of our common finance mechanisms are explained below:
Crop Loan / Retail Agri Loan
This loan is the best alternative for farmers looking for short-term financing to cover expenses like crop-related costs, prost-harvest costs, equipment maintenance costs, etc.
Farm Mechanization Loan
The money from these loans can be used to buy new machinery, fix or replace old ones, and buy tractors, harvesters, or other agricultural machines.
Solar Pump Loan
A solar pumping system can be purchased with this agricultural loan for use in small to medium-sized irrigation projects.
This agricultural loan is provided for land development, including the planting of orchards or vegetable farms, the removal of weeds/veld, the installation of boundary walls or fencing, and other farming purposes.
This loan for agriculture is provided for the cultivation of tree-grown crops. Like horticulture loans, they can be used to cultivate barren land, put up irrigation systems, and do other similar tasks.
If you find yourself or your business in a situation where you need a fast and effective way to receive a loan, consider applying for a loan through CorpFin. | agronomy |

The green distinctively seeking leaves of the pine, wealthy structure of the good fresh fruit and sturdy quality get this good fresh fruit amazing to many. One problem though, is that the tree doesn't tolerate the cold -low conditions - very well, like the majority of other varieties. They are prone to stops all through the wintertime months in Florida. You receive decrease produces compared to Hamlin's or Valencia oranges. Before, blight episodes were annoying and during major plant years the woods collapsed at a quick rate. The good fresh fruit dropped down the pine prematurely. To suppress this hindrance, growers had to spray the trees with 2, 4-D using numerous treating techniques. "Pineapple pitting," is the word used where the lime remove creased and caused pressure to the pine as well.
These blueberry orange woods were selectively planted because of these adverse conditions and so the harvested plant wasn't plentifully available. You could actually buy them in stores in January and February. In addition, because of the large number of seeds they include, growers refrained from over planting blueberry oranges. But, which was then. Now, the problems are licked. The USDA Agricultural Study Support presented that new range - seedless -thanks to some serious research with this variety.

This past weekend I got to visit Beth’s family farm. We had been on a marriage retreat in the area with our husbands, and dropped in to visit her grandmother on our way home. Here are some pictures I took (and one Beth took of me), with Beth’s own words about Phoenix Farm.
“The opportunity to start Phoenix Farm was something beautiful born out of the ashes of a challenging situation. Friends of ours sadly lost their house on a 30 acre property when it caught fire over a year ago. We asked to rent the property for recreational outdoor activities including hunting, but a large swath of cleared land among the woods caught our attention, and got us thinking about how we could also use the land to serve the community.”
“I grew up with a large garden and growing a lot of the vegetables. The flavor of fresh picked vegetables grown in your own garden is hard to beat. This year I have gone back to my roots have begun trying to grow the vegetables we need for our family. Along with a desire to grow vegetables for my own family, my desire for everyone to have fresh local vegetables has developed. We learned this year that hunger is not a distant, theoretical problem but food insecurity affects one out of three people in Midland County who have trouble affording fresh produce. It is sad that the best food for our bodies is often considered a luxury, one that not all can afford.”
“So we teamed up with Midland Fresh--a mobile produce truck program that was started in 2017 to help distribute fresh healthy produce to high need areas in Midland County. As of now we have prepared and planted about 1/2 an acre area to help provide delicious, local, healthful, fresh vegetables and fruits to share with neighbors through Midland Fresh mobile farm stand.” | agronomy |

Farmers in Yunnan Province said that in addition to the floods, the ongoing locust plague and rodent infestation have damaged nearly all the crops.
According to a report by South China Morning Post on Aug. 30, “the swarms of yellow-spined bamboo locusts crossed the border in late June and have since made their way northwards. … As of August 17, 11 counties in the province had been hit with 106 square kilometers (41 square miles) affected.”
According to a July 10 report by the regime’s mouthpiece Xinhua News, the Chinese experts claimed that the locust plague in the southern region of China is “under control.”
Pu’er city, in southern Yunnan, was reported to have had more than 28 square miles (73 square kilometers) of farming areas covered by invading locusts by the evening of July 9.
Ms. Ni from Tongguan town, Mojiang county in Pu’er told The Epoch Times that on July 29, a large group of locusts migrated to the local area and left two or three days later. The bamboo was seriously affected. “A group of locusts flew past (here), resting on bamboo. There were more than 3,000 locusts on a cluster of bamboos (about 20 bamboos) and it looked like a nest. Later, it was wiped out with pesticide to prevent it from laying eggs there,” she told the publication on Aug. 30.
Ms. Ni said that the locust mainly harms bamboo and corn. Since the local area is far from the border of Laos, where the locusts migrated from, the corn is not yet affected.
But she is worried about the corn field. She explained that in mild scenarios, the corn leaves would be gone, and in the most serious case, there would be zero corn harvest. Ms. Li said that the situation in Jiangcheng county in Pu’er is more serious due to its close proximity to Laos.
An employee of a courier company in Jiangcheng county told The Epoch Times that some local crops have been completely destroyed by the invading locusts. “Swarms of locusts attacked the grain field, and munched on the ears of rice. It looks like a grasshopper, five… | agronomy |

The winery is located in the peaceful Istrian village of Kaldir, overlooking Motovun, and the vineyards are planted with three indigenous varieties - Malvasia Istrian, Teran and Muscat.
On this basis, the Benvenuti family produces their wines in which the variety reflects all the richness of the vineyards, located on a number of specific micro-locations. One of them, San Salvatore, with its terraced configuration and white soil, with special microclimatic conditions, gives the grapes a character that will be reflected in the wine in its emphasized minerality, freshness and full expression of all the characteristics of the varieties. These qualities are present in all Benvenuti wines, from basic and aged malvasia, through fresh and harmonious teran, to intense and pleasant acidity of rich sweet wines.
Thanks to its focus on micro-locations and the cultivation of Istrian autochthonous varieties, Benvenuti wines soon became recognizable in the market, as well as by the profession itself. | agronomy |

Pickering, chief executive officer of the California State Fair. "His leadership on critical policy issues facing California's farmers, his passion to inspire the next generation of farmers, and his tireless dedication to responsible land stewardship, are samples of how he has positively impacted our great State for generations to come. California is a better place because of leaders like Craig McNamara."
"Craig is a uniquely visionary leader – someone who is highly deserving of this prestigious award. Beyond his deep commitment as a farmer and as president of the California State Board of Food and Agriculture, Craig has a passion to bring disparate parties together to focus on the big challenges of our time. He has demonstrated his understanding of the need to reach our next generation through the great work of his groundbreaking Center for Land Based Learning in Winters, which connects students to nature and agriculture and, in the process, helps to groom our future farmers and leaders. Again, my heartfelt congratulations to Craig. He’s an agriculturist for all-time." ~ Karen Ross
As the son of one of the most controversial figures in American history, Craig McNamara grew up in the presence of presidents and others who helped shape our world. Now, from his organic walnut farm in Winters, he’s shaping the future of our state by trying to feed the millions of Californians who don’t have enough to eat, and by nurturing the next generation of farmers. Oh, and by helping his son grow hops for really cool Sacramento craft beer.
"Farm Academy," a story about a training program for new farmers at the Center for Land Based Learning in Winters, California.
As president of the California State Board of Food and Agriculture, Craig McNamara is devoted to keeping the state's $37.5 billion farming industry alive. But with farmland rapidly disappearing and the average age of a farmer inching past middle age, it's an endangered profession.
In an effort to preserve California's leadership role as a global food producer, McNamara and his wife, Julie, in 1993 founded the Center for Land-Based Learning in Winters (Yolo County). The walnut grower took 40 of his own acres and converted it into a farm incubator, where students can get hands-on experience learning about sustainable agriculture and conservation.
We talked with McNamara about what he sees as the most important issues - from the next U.S. farm bill to genetically engineered foods - facing farmers and consumers in 2013. This conversation has been edited for length and clarity. | agronomy |

Drones belong to the remedy, in addition to closer cooperation between federal governments, innovation leaders, and also market.
Drone innovation certainly provides the farming sector a high-technology remodeling, with preparation and also approach based upon real-time information celebration as well as handling. Here are 6 methods ground-based as well as airborne drones will certainly be utilized throughout the plant cycle.
Dirt as well as area evaluation: Drones can be important at the beginning of the plant cycle. They create exact 3-D maps for very early dirt evaluation, helpful in intending seed growing patterns.
Growing: Start-ups have produced drone-planting systems that attain an uptake price of 75 percent and also reduce growing expenses by 85 percent. These systems fire shucks with seeds as well as plant nutrients right into the dirt, supplying the plant all the nutrients essential to maintaining life.
Plant splashing: Distance-measuring devices- ultrasonic resembling as well as lasers such as those made use of in the light-detection and also varying, or LiDAR, approach- makes it possible for a drone to readjust elevation as the topography as well as location differ, and also, therefore, stay clear of accidents. Professionals approximate that airborne splashing can be finished up to 5 times much faster with drones than with typical equipment.
Plant tracking: Huge areas as well as a reduced performance in plant tracking with each other produce farming’s biggest challenge. Keeping track of obstacles are aggravated by progressively uncertain climate problems, which drive danger as well as area upkeep expenses. Today, time-series computer animations can reveal the exact growth of a plant as well as disclose manufacturing ineffectiveness, allowing far better plant monitoring.
Watering: Drones with hyperspectral, multispectral, or thermal sensing units can recognize which components of an area are completely dry or require enhancements. Furthermore, once the plant is expanding, drones permit the estimation of the plant life index, which defines the family member thickness and also wellness of the plant, as well as reveal the warm trademark, the quantity of power or warm the plant gives off.
Wellness evaluation: It’s crucial to evaluate plant health and wellness and also place fungal or microbial infections on trees. By checking a plant utilizing both near-infrared and also noticeable light, drone-carried gadgets can recognize which plants show various quantities of eco-friendly light as well as NIR light. As well as in the situation of plant failing, the farmer will certainly be able to record losses a lot more successfully for insurance coverage cases. | agronomy |

Interestingly, these new techniques also offer new opportunities to temporarily adapt the greenhouse climate for other purposes, such as optimizing pest control with microbials. For example, increasing greenhouse humidity levels significantly increased pest control with B.
Download Manipulative Tenants Bacteria Associated With Arthropods Frontiers In Microbiology 2011
Such decisions obviously need to be considered carefully, as some climatic benefits for microbials may have detrimental effects on crop growth, arthropod natural enemies or may favour some plant diseases. Also, it needs to be mentioned that the relative humidity in the microclimate can be significantly different to the ambient conditions. For example, high humidity levels at the leaf surface may be sufficient for infection by entomopathogenic fungi, even when the ambient relative humidity levels are lower.
Experiments showed that an extra benefit of this regime could be a reduced influx of thrips from outside into the greenhouse, because vents are opened less frequently than when traditional climate management is used Jakobsen et al.

The lower temperatures at night and in the early hours of the morning may also increase efficacy of Entomophthorales Milner et al. Potential negative effects on arthropod natural enemies also require further evaluation. For example, lower night temperatures might be detrimental for arthropod natural enemies that are night active, such as the aphid predatory midge Aphidoletes aphidimyza Rondani, which requires a minimum temperature to be flight-active Markkula et al.
Overall it is a huge advantage to have the opportunity to adapt the greenhouse climate in order to optimize microbial efficacy, particularly when the potential damage by the target pest is larger than the potential crop losses that may occur due to less favourable climatic conditions, plant diseases or reduced efficacy of some arthropod natural enemies. Not only temperature and humidity, but also artificial light in greenhouses might influence pest control Johansen et al.
Hence, there are several methods now available to adapt the greenhouse environment and these warrant further study. For example, which combinations of artificial light and greenhouse climatic conditions are optimal for pest control with microbials and arthropod natural enemies? It is not only the direct environmental effects on microbials, but also the indirect effects through changes in pest behaviour that could affect these results Johansen et al.
A relatively new field of research in pest control with microorganisms aims to make use of fungal species that act as endophytes. The term endophyte refers to fungi and bacteria that develop within plant tissues without causing any conspicuous symptoms of disease in the plant Wilson Besides the class II fungal endophytes sensu Rodriguez et al. So far several studies provided evidence that entomopathogenic fungi are able to confer at least partial resistance to their host plants when colonizing plant tissues. Other examples include control of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella Linnaeus , on cabbage inoculated with an endophytic strain of A.
The underlying mechanisms mediating the effects on herbivorous insects remain, however, to be investigated in detail. The effects were hypothesized to be due to metabolic products produced by the endophytic fungi or by plant metabolites induced by their presence. Compounds produced by Class II fungal endophytes are mainly extracellular enzymes like proteases, lipases and cellulases, and metabolites like beauvericin, oosporein, fumonisin, harzianolide, butenolide and fusaric acid Gurulingappa et al.
However, some natural enemies also feed on the plants harbouring endophytic fungi and could attack herbivorous insects that may be experiencing negative effects due to fungal endophytes. This appeared to be the case for the omnivorous predatory bug M. Surprisingly, this endophyte still enhanced pest control by deterring the predator from feeding on the plant, thereby increasing its feeding activity on the prey. The parasitoid Bracon hebetor Say, when parasitizing larvae of Spodoptera litura Fabricius feeding on cauliflower inoculated by Aspergillus spp.
Thus, the use of Class II endophytic fungi for control of herbivorous pests in greenhouses needs to be tested on a case by case basis for each plant-herbivore-natural enemy-interaction. One of the most striking recent discoveries with regard to endophytic fungi is that several, if not all, isolates of entomopathogenic fungi can also act as endophytes. Most research on entomopathogenic fungi has focused on their virulence and the mechanisms they use to infect the host directly through the cuticle Vega et al. However, endophytic isolates of B. Bacterial endophytes have been studied mainly for their potential as plant growth promoters and for their ability to induce systemic resistance to plant pathogens Kavino et al.
Direct control of pests has not been reported for bacterial endophytes. Indirect effects caused by the induction of systemic resistance and by changes to the chemical profile of plants have been suggested as having the potential to influence the performance of some pests Kloepper and Ryu ; Valenzuela-Soto et al. The fact that bacterial and fungal endophytes might prime plants for resistance to both pests and diseases makes them formidable as biological control agents.
For example, endophytic isolates of F. The use of endophytes that decrease performance by extending pest developmental time might also provide an opportunity to increase the impact of arthropod natural enemies in greenhouses. Irrespective of the mechanism, the longer it takes the pest to develop and complete its life cycles, the more exposed it is to parasitoids and predators.
Finally, the use of endophytes introduced at an early stage of plant development such as seeds coated with endophytes circumvents the intrinsic problems of microbial use such as exposure to detrimental environmental factors, competition with other microorganisms and the challenge of synchronizing microbials with herbivore presence.
However, entomopathogenic fungi are obviously not able to fully colonize all tissues of fast growing plants Behie et al.
Climate regimes in greenhouses may be beneficial for most fungi because they provide specific environmental conditions constant higher temperatures and humidity , and most probably are also favourable for endophytic establishment in plants. However, isolates specifically adapted to these conditions also need to be selected to increase colonization rates of plant tissues. Thus, a screening process to find the optimal combination of the different agents is mandatory for the implementation of this strategy.
The use of endophytic organisms as biological control agents might become even more complicated as a result of the findings of Yan et al. Endophytes are known for their complex metabolic capabilities Gutierrez et al.
My Shopping Bag
Thus, the method and timing of the inoculation of the crop plant, and the previous history of microbial colonization events, plays an important role in the potential for success with this strategy. Some of these problems may be addressed by the development of specific formulations for endophytes that enhance colonization rates and provide a headstart for these organisms within seedlings. However, these aspects need to be rigorously tested to gain a better understanding of the potential of microorganisms as biological control agents. In recent years, it has been increasingly recognized that microbial symbionts affect the ecology, life history and evolution of their arthropod hosts in many different ways Zchori-Fein and Bourtzis A lot of the key greenhouse pests are exclusively sap feeders, and like other insects with limited diets, harbour a wide range of microbial associates Zchori-Fein and Bourtzis Werren et al.
Furthermore, sap-feeders are usually associated with extracellular gut microbes, which may have nutritional or metabolic functions Kikuchi et al. Although studies on host-microbial symbionts in insects have focused on bacteria, archaeal and fungal symbioses have also been reported Gibson and Hunter Zindel et al. For example, symbiotic bacteria may induce cytoplasmic incompatibility, resulting in sterile eggs when a symbiont-infected female mates with an uninfected male.
A mixed population of symbiont-infected and noninfected individuals would thus reproduce more slowly than one in which all members carried the symbiont or where all members were symbiont-free. In addition, symbiotic microorganisms can increase or decrease the survivorship of an insect host under extreme environmental conditions or influence the transmission capacity of disease-vectoring arthropods Zindel et al.
The pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum , has four different symbionts belonging to the bacterial genera Regiella, Rickettsia, Rickettsiella and Spiroplasma , which induce defences against the entomopathogenic fungus P. The presence of these distantly related symbionts in aphids reduces both their susceptibility to P. Although information on the symbionts of aphid species that are greenhouse pests is rather scarce, bacteria such as Rickettsia have been reported from the cotton aphid, A. Recently Hendry et al. There is every reason to assume that similar symbiotic interactions may occur in other insects colonizing greenhouse crops, and this needs to be taken into account when microbials are produced and applied for pest control in greenhouses and other crop systems.
Symbionts are, so far, not deliberately added to biological control systems, but this might be a field for future research. For example, aphid biotypes that contain particular symbionts might be used to select for parasitoids that are adapted to these symbionts, in order to enhance their performance in the field. Although greenhouse crop production seems ideal for the use of biological control agents, experience has taught us that there are a range of interactions that must be considered when incorporating organisms into a closed system.
For decades, research focussed on understanding the tritrophic interactions between plants, herbivores and their arthropod natural enemies Kennedy ; Price et al. However, it is now clear that tritrophic interactions are influenced by all the other components of the ecosystem, and as a result, research has shifted into understanding crop-pest management from the perspective of multitrophic interactions Van der Putten et al. As we have shown here, the combined use of microbial biological control with the use of arthropod natural enemies must take into account direct and indirect effects on each side.

Understanding the complexity of ecological interactions between different types of biological control agents is itself a subject that requires further research. In terms of biological control, studies need to focus on unveiling direct and indirect effects of the application of microbial biological control agents and microbial communities within insects symbionts and plants endophytes on arthropod natural enemies. Although most cases show evidence of compatibility between different types of agents, it is necessary to pinpoint the essential conditions that ensure the success of their combination.
We consider that the following research areas should be prioritized: 1 optimizing the efficacy of the existing and new microbial products and 2 determining how to combine both microbial and arthropod natural enemies with available technologies. Optimization of microbial efficacy is an ongoing goal achieved by new formulation and conservation techniques and by selection of specific and virulent isolates with the most desirable characteristics to be effective and persist under greenhouse conditions.
Combining microbials with the existing and new technologies is already promising since greenhouse climate control and new delivery methods are already available. The use of endophytes and manipulation of symbionts to improve control of pests could also represent elegant solutions to many of the current problems with microbials, but further research is required. Understanding of the ecological consequences of using microbials in combination with other biological control agents needs closer examination, especially for organic greenhouse cropping systems that have evolved into complex ecosystems with persistent populations of multiple arthropod natural enemy species.
To our surprise, there are only a limited number of studies involving microbials and arthropod natural enemies under greenhouse conditions, confirming that this area is fertile ground for research. In our opinion, such studies deserve more attention as they may help to identify complementary and synergistic interactions between microbials and arthropod natural that increase the opportunities to enhance and further develop biological pest control.
