In a world where being prepared is more than just a motto; it’s a way of life, knowing how to grow your food is a game-changer.
Whether you’re a seasoned prepper, an avid gardener, or just dipping your toes into survivalist waters, creating a garden that can sustain you and your family in tough times is a smart move.
Because it’s not just about having a green thumb; it’s about security, independence, and peace of mind.
And a strong sense of accomplishment.
A Survivalist Garden is a self-sustaining agricultural space for long-term food production and resilience, focusing on hardy, nutrient-rich crops, efficient water use, and adaptable growing methods.
This guide will explain everything from choosing suitable crops to innovative gardening techniques that maximize your yield, even in limited spaces.
So, roll up your sleeves, and let’s get prepping.
Introduction to Survival Gardening: The Foundation of Self-Reliance
Survival gardening isn’t just planting a few veggies; it is cultivating a garden designed to provide food security in times of scarcity or crisis.
Unlike traditional horticulture, it emphasizes sustainability, resilience, and self-sufficiency, ensuring a dependable food supply under adverse conditions. Its importance cannot be overstated in our contemporary context, where unpredictability reigns supreme.
Merging practicality with preparedness, survival gardening offers a bulwark against the vicissitudes of disrupted supply chains and natural calamities.
Planning Your Survivalist Garden: Laying the Groundwork
Choosing the right spot for your garden is like picking a base camp in the wild.
You want a location that gets plenty of sun, has good drainage, and is safe from strong winds.
Think about your local climate and soil type. Is it warm and wet, or dry and cold? Your garden’s layout matters, too.
Plan for easy access and efficient use of space—think raised beds and vertical gardening.
The Top 10 Edible Plants Every Survivalist Needs in Their Garden
Essential and easy-to-grow plants, like kale, beans, and sweet potatoes, offer high nutritional value.
You should prioritize these hardy, easy-to-grow crops, such as tomatoes, carrots, and herbs, that have various uses.
Also, consider adding plants with multiple yields, like fruit trees and berry bushes.
Let’s start underground with the humble potato. Potatoes are high in calories and nutrition and can be abundant and stored easily. Plus, there are so many ways to cook them – fried, mashed, baked – you name it!
Beans are a powerhouse of protein and essential nutrients. They’re easy to grow and can be dried or canned for long-term storage, making them a survivalist’s dream.
Kale is a nutrient-dense leafy green that’s resilient to different climates. It’s packed with vitamins and can be eaten raw or cooked. Plus, it grows back quickly, providing a continuous source of greens.
Nothing beats the taste of a fresh, home-grown tomato. Rich in vitamins and versatile for cooking, tomatoes can also be canned or dried for off-season use.
Carrots are not just good for your eyesight; they’re great for your garden, too. Easy to grow, they store well in the ground or when harvested, making them a practical choice for any survivalist.
Squash, including zucchini and pumpkins, offers high yields and diverse uses. They have a long storage life and can be used in various recipes, from soups to pies.
Herbs (Basil, Rosemary, Thyme)
Don’t overlook herbs! Basil, rosemary, and thyme are not only great for adding flavor to your dishes but also have medicinal properties. Plus, they can be quickly dried for long-term storage.
Spinach is a fast-growing leafy green rich in iron and vitamins. It’s a great addition to any garden for a quick and healthy harvest.
Peas are another high-protein plant that’s easy to grow. They can be eaten fresh, frozen, or dried, making them versatile for long-term survival plans.
Sweet potatoes are a nutritious and delicious root vegetable that can be grown in a variety of soils. They’re high in vitamins and can be stored for months.
Cultivation Techniques for Resilience: Growing Against the Odds
The bedrock of a robust survival garden lies in its soil. Enriching the soil with organic matter and compost with regular aeration enhances its fertility and structure.
Water Conservation Techniques: Implement rainwater harvesting systems and use drip irrigation for efficient water use. Consider mulching heavily to retain soil moisture. Also, consider planting drought-resistant varieties and using water-conserving gardening methods like xeriscaping.
Natural Pest and Disease Protection: Employ companion planting to deter pests, attract beneficial insects, and improve plant health. Use organic methods like neem oil or insecticidal soap. Regularly rotate crops and practice good garden hygiene to prevent disease spread.
Adapting to Changing Conditions: In an era of climate unpredictability, survival gardening must be adaptable. Anticipating and responding to climate anomalies – unseasonal temperature fluctuations or aberrant precipitation patterns – is a testament to a gardener’s foresight and flexibility.
Adapting garden plans to accommodate these changes should not be overlooked but considered a necessity for your survival gardening.
Harvesting and Preserving Your Survival Garden Produce
Harvest time is like the grand finale of your gardening efforts. The culmination of a gardener’s toil is the harvest.
To get the most out of your crops, timing is key. Harvest in the morning for peak freshness, and be gentle – you’ve nurtured these plants.
Use the right tools: sharp scissors for herbs a sturdy knife for veggies. Remember, how you pick your produce can affect the plant’s ongoing productivity, so be mindful and respectful.
Techniques for Preserving Food for Long-Term Storage
Once you’ve gathered your bounty, it’s time to think long-term.
Preserving your produce ensures you can enjoy the fruits (and veggies!) of your labor all year round. There are many routes to preservation: canning, drying, freezing, and pickling. Each method has its own charm and utility.
Canning is great for sauces and jams, drying works wonders for herbs and some fruits, freezing is perfect for most veggies, and who doesn’t love a good pickle?
It’s all about extending the life of your harvest while locking in those nutrients.
The Psychological Benefits of Gardening
Gardening isn’t just about growing food; it’s about growing happiness too.
There’s something deeply satisfying about tending to a garden. It reduces stress, improves mood, and even boosts self-esteem. In the midst of survival planning, your garden becomes a sanctuary of peace and positivity.
It’s a reminder of the beauty and resilience
How a Survivalist Garden Fits into a Broader Survival Preparedness Plan
In the grand scheme of survival preparedness, your garden is a key player.
It’s a sustainable food source, a skill-building exercise, and a resilience test rolled into one. Integrating your garden into your overall survival plan means considering it alongside your other preparedness strategies – like water storage, energy solutions, and emergency planning.
It’s not just a garden; it’s a cornerstone of self-reliance.
Cultivating Confidence and Self-Sufficiency
Your journey to a resilient future starts in your own backyard.
Imagine the satisfaction of plucking fresh, sun-kissed tomatoes from your Survivalist Garden, the peace of mind of knowing you’re prepared.
This isn’t just about growing plants but cultivating confidence and self-sufficiency. You’ve got the tools, the knowledge, and the power to make this dream a reality.
So, dig in, get your hands dirty, and watch as your garden and sense of security flourish. Ready to turn your garden into a lifeline?
Let your Survivalist Garden be the cornerstone of your preparedness plan.

In particular, the Saudis are after alfalfa to feed their cows – setting up shop in Blythe, California – home to roughly 21,000 people (6,000 of whom live in prison) about four hours east of Los Angeles. Fondomonte Farms is a subsidiary of Saudi-based Almarai, one of the largest food production companies in the world. Every month, Fondomonte ships boat-loads of alfalfa to a massive port stationed on the Red Sea, just outside Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah City.
The state of the Colorado river can be traced, in part, to a water claim approved by the federal government all the way back in the 1800s when a British gold rush-era prospector named Thomas Blythe first laid eyes on the desert expanse adjacent to the rushing Colorado river and submitted a water claim application to the federal government.
That 1877 water claim, now owned by the Palo Verde Irrigation District, ensures that Blythe has “unquantified water rights for beneficial use”; in other words, as much water as those living and farming within the district could possibly need in this water-scarce region, and for free.
With the Saudi Arabian landscape there being mostly desert and alfalfa being a water-intensive crop, growing it there has always been expensive and draining on scarce water resources, to the point that the Saudi government finally outlawed the practice in 2016. In the wake of the ban, Almarai decided to purchase land wherever it is cheap and has favorable water conditions to produce enough feed for its 93,000 cows. –The Guardian
The system to move water to Blythe is “really unique,” according to JR Echard – assistant manager of the Palo Verde Irrigation District. “We’re in the desert, but we live next to a massive river and have rights to it.“
One thing that’s apparently not making the Saudis happy are “fallowing contracts,” in which farmers are paid not to plant a portion of their fields so that water can be diverted into the cities such as Los Angeles and San Diego. The Palo Verde Irrigation District is currently three years into a 30 year contract for this, which – to the Saudis – “drives the company mad” according to an employee, as “alfalfa-hungry Fondomonte would prefer to plant every inch.”
Despite the poverty affecting 23% of Blythe residents (vs. 12% nationally), the Fondomonte has been a boon. “Everyone wants to be working here,” the employee, “Jim,” told The Guardian.
Not only does the company employ more than 100 locals full-time – as compared with the part-time or seasonal labor found on most farms – and with 401ks, vacation and health insurance, but they also support local farmers by purchasing their alfalfa to add to their bales and ship overseas.
“There are a lot of exporters here,” Jim said of US farmers and farm operations selling their crops to overseas markets. “They have been exporting from here for 30 or 40 years. I don’t see how this farm is any different.”
“The Saudis, they’re here buying up at a good price,” Echard explained. “They’re just the same as everyone else. They buy local. It’s a shot in the arm for the economy.” –The Guardian
When Almarai embarked on its ambitious land grab in the western US, environmentalists and average citizens alike were outraged. “Saudi Hay Farm in Arizona Tests State’s Supply of Groundwater,” read the headline from one NPR article from November 2015. “Saudi Arabia is Outsourcing its Drought to California,” penned Gizmodo.
That said – UC Davis professor and alfalfa expert Dan Putnam wonders why there’s little to no outrage over crops which are far more water intensive, such as almonds, which California ships 70% of overseas. “Or oranges? Or lettuce?”
Putnam, along with many farmers I spoke to, urges people to consider how much water crisscrosses the globe in the current supply chain. It’s not just alfalfa, and it’s not just agriculture. People will find goods at the cheapest prices, and companies in areas with unstable resources will relocate elsewhere.
On our way back from the dam to the district offices, Echard drove me up along the access roads to get a panorama of the canals, and past some bright fields of alfalfa. We then drove to a part of valley where, in partnership with various environmental organizations, the Palo Verde Irrigation District had planted a large grove of trees to revive some of the habitat that once stretched so abundantly along this part of the Colorado. In August, he told me, it can be 115F (46C) outside, but under this canopy of trees, it might be 20 degrees cooler.
And while Almarai’s loophole doesn’t seem to be raising many pitchforks right now, one has to wonder how the Saudi takeover of Californian alfalfa land – using free water – will go over during the next drought.

The harvest in Bordeaux, or le vendage, is one of the most critical parts of the entire wine making process. It’s the time when the winemaker feels they’ve achieved the perfect balance in the vineyard.
The vineyards are suddenly full of vendanguers (literally grape pickers) and getting stuck behind tractors puttering along is inevitable along Bordeaux’s roads. It’s the busiest time of the entire wine making year for the châteaux. Wondering if the harvest is a good time to visit Bordeaux and what to expect? Let’s take a look inside the Bordeaux wine harvest.
When are Bordeaux Grapes Harvested?
The exact timing of the wine harvest is determined by the ripeness of the grapes. Generally in Bordeaux, the grape harvest is in September. The grape harvest season can run from late August through October depending on the varietal.
Bordeaux does have white wine grapes and these are ready for harvesting first. The grape harvest for Bordeaux’s white wine grapes can begin as early as the end of August.
Of Bordeaux’s grape varietals, Merlot grapes are ready to harvest before the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. These two main grape varietals found in Bordeaux blends do not grow or ripen at the same rate, even when they’re planted on the same wine estate. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon always have separate harvest dates.
The very last grapes to be harvest in the Bordeaux wine region are the botrytis affected grapes for Sauternes wine. Typically botrytis doesn’t start occurring until in September and can last well in to October. Just the right conditions are needed and the botrytis grapes will be harvested multiple times to achieve the perfect levels.
Le Vendage: The Wine Harvest in Bordeaux
Once the winemaker decides the date that they’ll start their harvest, teams that have been hired seasonally for fruit picking jobs in the vineyards are notified. It’s labor intensive work done by expert grape pickers known in French as vendanguers.
While some machine harvesting does happen in Bordeaux, the majority of Bordeaux grapes are picked by hand. It’s backbreaking work as the vendanguers squat or kneel to get close down to the ground with the grapes. Each bunch is meticulously inspected, and even individual grapes that aren’t of the highest quality will be cut off the bunches and left on the ground.
The bunches are placed in small baskets or bushels by the pickers. Then the grapes are collected by porters that continuously makes the rounds wearing a sort of backpack called a hotte. Every couple of minutes the pickers empty their small baskets in to the hotte.
Les porteurs transport the grapes down the rows and to the awaiting truck. They’ll climb up and down a ladder countless times during the harvest. And they use their entire body to be able to toss the hotte full of grapes into the truck.
Once the truck is full, it is transported immediately to the winery. It’s crucial to maintain the freshness of the grapes and they are immediately emptied into the destemmer machine.
The grapes travel on a conveyor belt into the destemmer machine. The machine separates the grapes from the stems.
The separated grapes come out one side of the machine and empty onto another conveyor belt. The stems and leaves shoot out the other side of the machine and are collected typically to be used as fertilizer in the vineyard.
The grapes are inspected by the winemaker as any leaves and stems that made it through the destemmer are quickly plucked out.
The grapes travel directly into the vats where they are crushed. The fermentation will take place over several months in the vats, which can be wood, stainless steel, concrete or a combination of these.
Punching down will take place over the fermentation and eventually the wine is ready to be transferred to the barrels to age for up to 24 months.
Of course, once the wine has been pumped into the barrels, the vats must be cleaned. The pomace, or the solid remains from the grapes that includes the skins, seeds and any stems that went in to the vat, is shoveled out and often used as fertilizer.
What to Expect When Visiting Bordeaux Châteaux During Harvest
Bordeaux during harvest is a magical time, but you should also realize that it is also when châteaux are at their busiest. It’s a labor intensive process that can last from a few days to several weeks depending on how many hectares of vines the château has. It’s also a stressful time when the entire year’s work depends on the success of the harvest in order to produce a quality vintage.
For these reasons, many Bordeaux châteaux do not accept visits during the harvest period. However, times have been changing and as Bordeaux continues to develop wine tourism within its châteaux, many now have a dedicated individual or teams that work exclusively to welcome guests for visits and tastings.
If you do book a visit at a Bordeaux château during harvest, you might be lucky enough to be offered a taste of the freshly crushed grape juice. For the first 2-3 hours after crushing Merlot grapes, the juice actually more closely resembles watermelon juice in color. The deeper color will develop over the fermentation process while the skins lend their color to the wine.
If you want to take part in the harvest as a picker, realize that it is a labor intensive job sure to leave every bit of your body sore at the end of the day. Grape harvesting is not a touristic activity, and you definitely will not find anywhere to stomp grapes a la that episode of I Love Lucy.
You can find grape picking jobs by keeping an eye on social media. Many châteaux post on their Facebook and Instagram pages toward the end of July and beginning of August when they are looking to hire vendangeurs. There are also tons of listings in the classifieds sections of regional papers like the Sudouest. | agronomy |

Below are a few key care tips for maintaining a vibrant and healthy garden:
- Check the health of your plants. Whether you’re transplanting plants from nurseries or growing your own from seeds, fully inspect your garden plants to make sure they are pest and rot free. Bringing in infected or diseased plants can harm the whole garden. Aside from plant disease, destructive bugs like aphids, gnats, and whiteflies should be eliminated using the appropriate pesticides or other effective extermination methods.
- Water properly. Overwatering can lead to fungi growth, leaf spots, and unhealthy plants. Only water as often as necessary during the growing season for your specific plant species, and let the soil dry between waterings to keep from oversaturating. The trick is to keep your garden well-watered but not soaking, and avoid wetting the foliage. Water directly onto the soil instead. This is easy to do when watering by hand, but if you want to automate things, opt for a drip irrigation system rather than sprinklers.
- Treat your soil. Soil degrades over time and needs to be refreshed every so often. You can buy new soil from a local garden center, so make sure to check the quality of your garden soil and replace when necessary. Adding mulch is also useful for retaining the soil moisture of your garden. Mulching material will keep weeds down while also supplying organic matter to your soil when it begins to degrade. Fertilizing your garden is another method to keeping it healthy. Depending on the type of plant species you’re growing, use the right amount of fertilizer and apply appropriately to make sure you don’t overstress your plants.
- Clean your gardening tools. Garden tools should be cleaned to control disease and prevent transferring any bacteria or dangerous elements into your garden. In addition to the other methods of garden care, clean tools can help keep your garden healthy longer.
- Perform plant maintenance. Deadhead, prune, and cull your plants as needed. Deadheading removes old flower blooms to encourage new growth. Pruning is cutting back the branches of your plants to control growth and make room for more. Culling your plants will clean up the unhealthy bits and also create more space for your garden to flourish. These gardening methods can all promote growth, clearing out any possible hidden pests or undesirable parts, increasing room for your flower or vegetable garden to flourish. | agronomy |

It really is becoming a lush oasis of green, and of food! The fruit trees we planted six years ago are producing more and more, and the vege patch my man tends gets bigger and bigger! It is very satisfying to be sustained and fed by this place, by this home.
It struck me yesterday that these photos are a visual metaphor for our soul work. We feel the call to growth, we plant the seeds, we try something new, we fail, we rest and hibernate, we rearrange, we remove dead wood and bury dead parts of ourselves to turn them into compost.
We spread this compost on the ground, we plant more seeds, we try something else new, we relish the light of Sun and Moon, we water ourselves, we find what feeds us, we stretch and blossom, we taste some first fruits, we are inspired by other gardens, get an inkling of what’s possible in ten, twenty, thirty years’ time. We rest.
We plant more seeds. Some work, some don’t. And on and on, season after season, cycle after cycle. Our growth is inevitable. Over time, every landscape changes; we will never stay the same.
But we have the opportunity to curate our soul garden, rather than live with wild seeds blown in from elsewhere that offer us little nourishment. We can plant the fruit trees that are our favourites, faithfully pull the weeds that are our constant companions, build our stamina and systems for preserving the harvest, hone the art of decay and letting go.
We can come to accept the ecosystem and requirements of our particular good ground and let go of the need to change ourselves so much. We discover, slowly over time, what THRIVES within us, and what such thriving requires. Increasingly we are sustained and fed by this place, by this home, within.
And what it takes is to keep showing up. To commit to this patch of inner ground. To listen to what it needs. And to keep showing up. | agronomy |

Angie and David Waters, Tarrangower Merinos at Hillgrove near Armidale have culled their flock by half to survive drought but their efforts in producing super fine wool keep winning high praise from Ermenegildo Zegna.
Fifth and sixth generation wool producers David and Angie Waters, Tarrangower Merinos, have survived seven years of below normal rainfall at Hillgrove east of Armidale.
The Waters have been able to retain the integrity of their super fine Merino flock, selecting genetics for what they feel is the right sort of bright and stylish spinners' type fleece.
However, they have drastically reduced the stocking rate on their property Eastview by 50 per cent, selling their Charolais cross beef breeding and prime lamb enterprises, plus some surplus merinos.
Tarrangower Merinos wins Ermenegildo Zegna super fine wool award for the third time
"Our future is in wool," Mr Waters said. "By retaining as many ewes as possible it will see us rebuild more quickly when this is over."
The reduction has not come at a cost to quality. If anything, consistency is improving all the time - just ask Paolo Zegna, president of the Ermenegildo Zegna group and manufacturers of fine Italian wool fashion.
Last week the Waters family, which includes daughters, Sarah and Bella, were awarded first place in the Zegna competition for the third year in a row.
Tarrangower's winning bale from their commercial mob recorded a micron average of 15.2, with 74.8 yield, a tensile strength of 53 with an 82 millimetre staple length.
For the first time, 70 specialty wool wethers were retained for their ability to produce the stylish wool Zegna desires.
"We have a passion for this," Ms Waters said. "We know what we want and we want to retain those characteristics."
Normally reliable summer rainfall in the New England, which contributes to a sound clip, failed the district badly last year so the win comes as something of a surprise - until you look deeper into the family's management practices.
"Despite drought our flock is fit and healthy," Mr Waters said. "While there is a green pick and still some paddock roughage at the moment, it is expected that the bulk of energy and protein requirements will come from barley and faba beans as we approach winter."
"We are in survival mode," Ms Waters said, whose parents Don and Fay Tully used to trade under the Tarrangower banner some 15 years ago with bloodlines going back 100 years - as long as the Zegna brand. | agronomy |

When to plant peppers in South Africa.
The planting and growing season for peppers is August to December.
Where to get pepper seeds
You can either purchase seed from your local nursery but if you eat peppers regularly you can collect the seed from them . Cut them out of your pepper and dry them in a container on a window sill. Once dry they are ready to be planted.
Young pepper- still green in colour
Preparation of soil.
You can plant peppers in pots or in the ground. If you are planting them in the ground ensure that you have a nice sunny spot and are not planting them where peppers have grown recently.
Germinating the seeds.
Seeds should be spread out around the pot so that they are have space when they start shooting. It does not matter if they are too close because once they are large enough you can transplant them into the ground or into other pots where you can give them the space they need to grow. Depending on the variety of pepper you can space them between 20 and 30cm apart . The larger the variety the more space the plant requires.
Plants should get about 3cm of water per week and if it is very hot and dry add a layer of mulch around each plant. This will help to keep the roots damp and the soil cool. Don't allow the plants to dry out.
As the plants grow larger and start bearing fruit it is a good idea to stake them. This will stop the stems breaking under the load of fruit.
There is no exact science to harvesting your peppers. They can be harvested when they are green or purple or you can wait until they change colour to red, yellow or orange. The only rule here is not to pick the pepper by hand but to rather use a pair of pruning sheers and clip it off the plant. This will stop you damaging the plant and allow other fruit to mature on the same stalk.
Glasshouse red spider or two spotted mite:
To avoid these pests which thrive in hot , dry conditions spray your plants regularly with organic sprays based on soft soaps such as dishwashing liquid, plant oils or extracts.
Greenfly colonies form on the tips and soft shoots of pepper plants. They damage the plant by sucking the sap out of it and then excreting a sticky honeydew which encourages black sooty moulds to form.

https://www.taylors-tobacconists.co.uk/zimbabwe-cigar-maker-dreams-big/ | 2024-02-26T02:12:41 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474649.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240225234904-20240226024904-00621.warc.gz | 0.967721 | 1,026 | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-10__0__196663271 | en | Its founder, Shepherd Mafundikwa, who returned from the United States in early 2020 to start the business, says that they were set on their goals to produce a world class cigar, consolidate their women empowerment model, and for their product to reach all corners of the globe.
Talking of the progress the company has made since they rolled their first cigar in March 2020, he says they were close to producing 1,500 cigars daily and their target was 10% local sales and 90% exports. They have sent some of their stock and samples to Romania, Kenya, South Africa, Namibia, Zambia, Malawi, USA, the United Kingdom, Germany, the United Arab Emirates and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Mafundikwa says that their first year has been a rollercoaster and that they have focused much of their attention on training. We have successfully managed the skills transferred, we feel proud that our cigars have been accepted at home and abroad.
Mafundikwa does not smoke but got the idea to start the investment after he had a discussion with a friend, While in the United States in 2019. Returning to Zimbabwe months later, he set about turning the discussion into practice. He chose Harare, the capital of Africa’s biggest tobacco growing nation, to set up the project.
The city is also ideal as it sits at the centre of four leaf growing regions. Three auctions and dozens of contract floors where hundreds of thousands of growers yearly sell their crop are situated in the city.
Before building the factory, he travelled to the Dominican Republic and Cuba, not only to learn more about cigar rolling but also to recruit skilled rollers. He returned with several rollers, among them Elias Lopez from the Dominican Republic. Although some soon flew back home, Lopez, a veteran of more than 30 years remained and is head of training. The training targeted women, who Mafundikwa says are good with their hands.
Eight were recruited at first and have recently been joined by two men. Cigar-smoking Lopez has worked in the home country of Panama, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua for Davidoff as well as Arturo Fuente. Most Oa Tunya’s operations have, however, suffered the ravages of Covid-19, with their supply chain and sales adversely affected because of the global restrictions.
We are hoping the covid situation will stabilise, Mafundikwa says, and this will allow us to access more markets. We are going to be aggressively marketing our cigars on the continent. He knows that cigars made in the Americas rule the market in terms of quality, quantity and brand strength. Most Oa Tunya, he insists, will leverage Zimbabwe’s position as Africa’s top leaf producer and among the top six globally.
Zimbabwe is renowned for its high-quality tobacco and we are confident that our cigars can compete with any other cigars in the world. Ninety five percent of the burley tobacco his company rolls is grown locally, 100 percent of the wrapper it uses is imported.
However, the company has teamed up with the Tobacco Research Board to experiment on growing different wrapper varieties in a bid to produce a 100% local cigar in the not too distant future. Mafundikwa says that even before the completion of the experimental production of the wrapper, he believes Zimbabwe has the proper conditions which just need to be managed.
Zimbabwe grew 200 million kilograms of tobacco in 2020, 95% being Virginia flue cured leaf, the remainder being Oriental and burley grown in Burma Valley in eastern Zimbabwe. TRB general manager tells that Burma Valley is good for the cultivation of thin, soft, elastic and supple wrappers that are on demand worldwide. TRB started researching suitable cigar wrapper varieties in the 2017/18 season and expects to register the first batch of cigar wrapper tobacco hybrid in 2023.
The current research efforts are focused on agronomic research and the development of new varieties with improved yields, enhanced foliar-disease resistance as well as excellent cigar wrapper cured leaf and smoking quality.
Research into cigar wrapper varieties is ongoing, but the main thrust on varietal development is centred on developing and releasing varieties that produce a blemish free leaf, good curing and fermentation and acceptable smoking attributes.
The new hybrids were developed/bred to incorporate multi resistance to foliar diseases, producing the much sought after, blemish free cured leaf. Additionally, the cured leaves of these new hybrids have excellent smoking quality and can therefore also be used as fillers in cigars, giving them a dual purpose.
The findings are pleasing. Up to four promising cigar wrapper varieties are producing good leaf yields, good cured quality as well as acceptable smoking quality. Our findings also note that with improved/prolonged fermentation and raging of the leaf, the smoking quality also improves. Zimbabwe has the potential to produce quality cigar wrappers that have acceptable smoking attributes. Above all, the nutty-spicy sweetness of the tobacco makes it perfect. | agronomy |

Coffee, one of the world's most beloved beverages, is not only a morning ritual for millions but also a global industry that touches the lives of millions more. However, behind every cup of coffee lies a complex journey that spans continents and involves numerous stakeholders. In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the environmental and social impact of coffee production and consumption. This has led to a greater focus on sustainability throughout the coffee supply chain, from the farms where the beans are grown to the cafes where they are brewed. In this blog post, we will explore the journey of coffee from farm to cup, and the efforts being made to ensure that it is a sustainable one.
The Origins of Coffee:
Coffee has a rich and storied history that dates back centuries. Legend has it that coffee was first discovered by an Ethiopian goat herder named Kaldi, who noticed that his goats became more energetic after eating the berries from a certain tree. The practice of roasting and brewing the beans spread to the Arabian Peninsula, where it became an integral part of Islamic culture. From there, coffee made its way to Europe and eventually to the Americas, where it flourished in countries like Brazil and Colombia.
Coffee Farming Practices:
Today, coffee is grown in over 70 countries around the world, with each region producing beans with unique flavors and characteristics. However, coffee farming is not without its challenges. Many coffee-growing regions are located in developing countries with fragile ecosystems and vulnerable communities. In recent years, climate change has posed a significant threat to coffee production, with rising temperatures and unpredictable weather patterns affecting yields and quality.
To address these challenges, many coffee farmers are adopting sustainable farming practices that prioritize environmental conservation and social equity. This includes practices such as shade-grown coffee, which preserves biodiversity and reduces the need for chemical inputs, as well as agroforestry, which integrates trees and other crops into coffee farms to improve soil health and water retention.
Certifications such as Fair Trade and Organic have also played a significant role in promoting sustainability in the coffee industry. Fair Trade ensures that farmers receive a fair price for their beans and invests in community development projects, while Organic certification prohibits the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, promoting soil health and biodiversity.
The Coffee Supply Chain:
Once the coffee cherries are harvested, they undergo a series of processing steps to remove the outer layers and extract the beans inside. This can be done using either the dry or wet method, depending on the region and the desired flavor profile. The beans are then dried, sorted, and shipped to coffee roasters around the world.
Coffee roasting is both an art and a science, as roasters carefully control factors such as temperature and time to unlock the flavors inherent in the beans. However, roasting also requires a significant amount of energy, which can have environmental implications if not managed responsibly.
In recent years, there has been a growing movement towards carbon-neutral and even carbon-negative coffee roasting. This involves offsetting the carbon emissions associated with roasting through measures such as tree planting and investing in renewable energy sources.
The Role of Cafes and Consumers:
Finally, the journey of coffee culminates in the cafes and homes where it is brewed and enjoyed. As consumers become more aware of the environmental and social impact of their purchasing decisions, there has been a growing demand for sustainably sourced and ethically produced coffee.
Cafes play a crucial role in meeting this demand by sourcing beans from reputable suppliers and implementing sustainable practices such as composting coffee grounds and using reusable cups and utensils. Many cafes also engage in community outreach and education efforts to raise awareness about the importance of sustainability in the coffee industry.
As consumers, we also have a responsibility to make informed choices about the coffee we drink. By choosing coffee that is certified organic, fair trade, or shade-grown, we can support farmers who are committed to sustainability and help ensure a brighter future for the coffee industry.
Coffee is more than just a beverage; it is a symbol of culture, community, and connection. However, the journey of coffee from farm to cup is not without its challenges. Climate change, deforestation, and poverty continue to threaten the sustainability of the coffee industry.
Yet, there is hope. Across the globe, coffee farmers, roasters, cafes, and consumers are coming together to build a more sustainable future for coffee. By adopting practices that prioritize environmental stewardship and social equity, we can ensure that future generations will continue to enjoy the rich and complex flavors of coffee for years to come. So the next time you take a sip of your favorite brew, remember the journey it took to get to your cup, and savor it all the more. | agronomy |

With earlies, wait until the flowers open or the buds drop; the tubers are ready to harvest when they are the size of hens’ eggs.
With maincrops for storage wait until the foliage turns yellow, then cut it and remove it.
Leave for 10 days before harvesting the tubers, leaving them to dry for a few hours before storing..
How long can you leave potatoes in the ground?
Store the harvested potatoes in a dark, airy place at a temperature between 60 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 to 14 days. Transfer the potatoes to an airy, humid place at a temperature between 40 and 50 degrees F, where they will keep for about eight months.
Can you eat potatoes as soon as you dig them up?
You can remove several tubers without hurting the plant and sacrificing your later harvest. Early potatoes have very thin skins and don’t store well. It’s best to harvest what you need and wash and eat them immediately after harvesting. … They will fall off as your potatoes dry.
How do you know when to dig up red potatoes?
The usual time to harvest red potatoes is when most of the potato vine has died, sometime around 100 to 110 days after planting. Harvesting can be done early, around 90 days or slightly earlier, if you want your potatoes to be smaller.
What happens if I don’t harvest my potatoes?
Potato Facts Once the plant reaches maturity, it ceases to be useful to the potatoes and dies. Tubers left in the ground experience no further growth, but their skins continue to thicken and harden, which extends the life of potatoes destined for storage.
How many potatoes do you get from one plant?
If all conditions are ideal, you may harvest about five to 10 potatoes per plant for your gardening efforts. Yields are based on both the care your give your plants during the growing season and the variety of potatoes you choose to grow. | agronomy |

But more recently this concept has been re-evaluated and the term 'oxidative signaling' was coined (Foyer and Noctor, 2005). This means that ROS generation is also an important component of the signaling network of plants. Results obtained during the last decade have highlighted that ROS are key regulators of plant metabolism, morphology and development which are also used by plants to respond to environmental challenges. The role of ROS as signals for gene expression has been established, and ROS also modulate the activity of key signaling compounds such as MAP kinases. The volume of research into the roles of ROS in plants is currently growing and the purpose of this book is to present recent advances in this field. | agronomy |

MUFI’s mission is to use urban agriculture as a platform to promote education, sustainability, and community in an effort to empower urban communities, solve many social problems facing Detroit, and potentially develop a broader model for redevelopment for other urban communities. Co-founders Darin McLeskey and Tyson Gersh developed the idea for MUFI through the optiMize Social Innovation Challenge at U-M, and were awarded seed funding to kick start the summer 2012 harvest season.
Since then, the initiative has brought together more than 8,000 volunteers from all over the world who have given upwards of 80,000 working hours and harvested 50,000 pounds of 500 varieties of organic produce, approximately 80% of which went to over 2,000 individual households and/or food pantries within two-square miles of the farm.

It has been briefly prepared by the Global Panel on Agriculture and Food Nutrition in cooperation with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
The report states that foods such as fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, dairy products, meat and fish are rich in nutrients, but are also very perishable and therefore vulnerable to losses throughout the food system. To address all forms of malnutrition and promote healthy eating, panel member and FAO General Director, José Graziano da Silva, notes: "We need to implement food systems that increase the availability, availability and consumption of fresh food and rich nutrients for everyone By taking specific a measure to reduce waste and waste fresh food and nutrition is a fundamental part of this effort. "It briefly suggests a series of political actions throughout the food system: education of interested parties; pay attention to the detestable food; improve public and private infrastructure; stimulate innovation; and overcome the lack of data and lack of knowledge about waste and food waste.
Panelist and President of the Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI), Srinath K. Reddy, greeted the informative remarks and said: "The global activities of the global group show that reducing food waste and waste can play a key role in improving poor and inadequate diets of about 3 billion people and often responsible for permanent sub-nutrition as well as increasing excessive body weight and obesity with the consequent increase in non-communicable diseases ".
FAO data show that in low-income countries food is largely lost during harvesting, storage, processing and transportation, while in high-income countries, the problem is waste in terms of retail and consumption. Together they have a direct impact on the number of calories and nutrients that are actually available for consumption. Micronutrient losses and waste are particularly concerned about their direct impact on well-being, learning ability and productivity. Globally, agriculture produces 22% more vitamins than we need. However, after the loss and waste, the amount available to human consumption is 11% lower than needed.
"Reducing food waste and wastes," FAO said, "could therefore produce significant health benefits and could also provide economic returns, as the value of lost or consumed food is estimated annually at $ 1 billion, but the food already produced will also avoid the waste of water , land and energy used for their production ".

Plant-based diets are all the rage, and with reason. Many studies have stated the health benefits of following a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle. But a plant-based diet has added benefits beyond health. This post will explore the related benefits of following a plant-based diet and some of its drawbacks.
Plant-Based Diet at a Glance
Any dietary approach that involves eating most of your food from plant sources is a plant-based diet. Many people think plant-based is a single diet, but a whole range of diets are based on plant sources, including vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, and flexitarian.
The health benefits of eating most of your meals from plant-based sources are widely known. We all know plants are full of vitamins and minerals necessary to be healthy. It lowers cholesterol levels and increases fiber intake, among other benefits.
Less-Known Benefits of Eating Plant-Based
Eating more plants is not only good for you, it benefits your wallet and the environment too.
1. It benefits the environment.
Recent research showed that the meat production industry is the most environmentally harmful. There are economic, environmental and sustainability reasons.
So, why is eating meat bad for the environment?,
In 2020, a report from IDTechEx showed raising livestock is unsustainable, as the percentage of land used is out of proportion with the caloric value extracted from the production.
Meat is very inefficient, nutritionally speaking. It takes nine calories of energy to produce one calorie of meat. Contrarily, current agriculture techniques make planting crops much more efficient.
What are the benefits of plant-based food for the environment?
- More food yield with less land
Growing crops yields more food per acre of land compared with raising cattle. According to the United Nations panel on Climate Change, if the majority of humanity cut down on meat consumption, plant-based foods will feed more people with less land.
- Reduces carbon footprint
More than a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions are caused by the food production industry. Meat production accounts for the majority of that percentage. Following a vegetarian or vegan diet significantly reduces your carbon print.
- More biodiversity
The Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, extensive livestock farming uses a 77% of all agricultural land, taking from natural forests and habitats.Cattle farming is the main driver of habitat loss and deforestation. Contrarily, plant crops can reduce global land use for agriculture by 75%, saving forests and habitats that otherwise would be grass.
2. It increases animal welfare.
It is no secret that the meat industry is often cruel to animals. Even dairy and egg production is known for cruel practices that don’t consider animals as sentient beings capable of suffering.
Many people switch to plant-based meat alternatives to avoid causing harm to animals.
Eating more plant-based foods will logically decrease the number of animals raised in factory farms. By switching to plant based products you increase the demand for those and reduces the demand for factory-farmed animals. Even stopping eating meat once a week can save millions of animals from cruelty.
3. It is good for your wallet, too
There is a myth that going plant-based is actually an expensive lifestyle. A study of the FAO showed the opposite. The study focused on whole foods and didn’t take into account eating at restaurants or takeaways.
They found that for high-income countries, a vegan diet reduces food costs up to one third. Vegetarian and flexitarian diets reduce a bit less, but still saw reduced costs at least a 14%. Pescatarian diets, however, increase costs.
What you can eat on a plant-based diet?
If you want to start with a plant-based diet, don’t worry, there are many simple and nutritious foods you can integrate into your diet. Some food groups you should add to your diet include:
- Grains: Think about whole grain pasta, whole rice and oats. Think also about non traditional grains such as farro, and quinoa which are full of vegetable protein and nutrients.
- Nuts: Almonds, walnuts, peanuts, cashews, pistachios, you name it, the possibilities are almost endless. Don’t forget the seeds, sunflower and pumpkin seeds for example.
- Legumes: Lentils, and beans are packed with protein and iron. Think also about chickpeas, black beans, and kidney beans.
- Vegetables: You can use the whole range of nature here. Don’t forget your leafy greens. Especially those full of iron and vitamins such as spinach and kale.
- Fruit: Same as vegetables, have as many fruits as you want.
- Plant based meat, egg and dairy alternatives: You won’t miss meat with the massive amount of vegan products available. A good quality plant based burger tastes the same as animal based with added benefits.
Adopting a plant-based diet like lungs tea and mushroom powder can have a lot of benefits for your health, while also helping the environment and your finances too. All in all, the benefits of a plant-based diet outweigh its potential drawbacks, and it is worth a try. | agronomy |

It’s important to know which products are organic and which are not. They are usually packaged differently and often are marked up considerably. Follow the advice given here, and learn exactly how to grow organic produce at home.
Avoid chemicals for pest control. Chemicals are effective but can also damage your plants. You should look for natural methods instead. For instance, you can buy jars of ladybugs and release them on your plants. Ladybugs are natural predators for a variety of smaller insects that eat flowers and other plants.
Don’t grow food no one will eat. Just because you can grow something, doesn’t mean you should. If your kids don’t like spinach now, fresh spinach from the garden isn’t going to change that and much will go to waste. Consider what you and your family like to eat and then determine your garden accordingly.
Don’t forget to fertilize your garden! Water isn’t enough when it comes to growing delicious, healthy vegetables. Choose the fertilizer that you best like. Some people prefer manure, while others can’t get around the thought of it. There are many fertilizer options available at your local gardening store, so there is certainly, a right one for you.
Learn how to trim your plants. Not all plants require trimming, but if you notice unhealthy stems, trimming a plant can help you get rid of a disease or at least slow it down long enough for you to cure your plant. Do not cut too many stems and leaves: cut only the unhealthy parts.
Make sure you read the labels on any weedkillers or pesticides that you use in your garden. Follow the directions closely. Using too much of a chemical can be dangerous to your health and the health of your garden. Failing to read the label might also mean that you get the wrong chemical for the problem that you’re having, polluting the ground around your garden for no reason.
Pay attention to the time of year that your plants bloom before you start pruning them. If you prune your flowering shrubs and trees while they have buds on them, that plant won’t flower that year. The best time to prune is just after the last season’s blooms have faded.
Don’t plant large shade trees in your yard between the curb and the sidewalk. Large trees have powerful root systems. These roots will crawl under the sidewalk, lifting and breaking the sidewalk pavers. The sidewalk can’t be repaired properly without removing the tree roots, which would damage the tree. Smaller ornamental trees will do less damage.
Growing your garden at home might not be the most convenient thing for you, but you will save a lot of money and always have the confidence that what you’re eating and feeding your family is as fresh and as healthy as possible. Use the tips you’ve learned here and get started on your garden today. | agronomy |

“We grow pretty much every fruit, vegetable and nut known to man here in Northern Michigan,” explains Epicure Catering chef Andy Schudlich. “We have all kinds of nuts, fresh oils, every vegetable and almost every tree fruit – every color of the rainbow. It’s easy to cook for vegans when you have all that, and September is the perfect time of year to get it.”
Andy says that much of the food for the dinner will come from the Farmer’s Market on Wednesday, a hallmark of Epicure’s cooking. “We’re harvesting lettuce 75 feet from our kitchen, and that matters. A watermelon that was picked yesterday is a totally different fruit than one that was picked in Mexico two weeks ago and ripened on a train the way here. Like everything else we do, all the produce we’ll use for the dinner will come from the area.”
“I wanted to this vegan dinner because I feel it’s so relevant and it’s where people’s eating habits are heading these days,” shares Little Fleet owner Gary Jonas. “This dinner is not only for people who eat vegan, it’s for anyone who cares about what they eat. Food doesn’t have to be meat and cheese. There’s so much you can do with fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains. I’m really excited for it!”
The four course menu looks delicious and will include a vegan tureen with lobster mushrooms & winter squash wrapped in kale and a dessert of peaches flamed with with bourbon and a Pressmeister hazelnut cake with cashew cream. | agronomy |

The best time to start mulching in Ontario would be in the mid to late spring; when temperatures are above freezing and the soil is warming up.
Mulching garden beds is a quick and easy way to make any garden more attractive while adding numerous benefits to the plant material and soil. Let’s explore the 5 key benefits of mulching!
The use of mulch inhibits weed germination, slowing the development of weeds throughout your garden by preventing sunlight from reaching the soil surface.
Improves Water Retention
Mulch reduces water loss from the soil surface, which helps maintain soil moisture and protects your plants from drying out in the summer months. It can also help reduce soil erosion during winters and heavy rains.
Moderates Temperature Fluctuations
Mulch can moderate temperature fluctuations, protecting plant roots from heat damage as well as frost and cold damage. Mulch acts as an insulant; keeping the soil warm on cold nights and cool on hot days.
Adds Vital Nutrients
Mulch, when done correctly, returns about 4% nitrogen, 2% potassium, and 1% phosphorus to the soil, these are all vital nutrients to healthy plant growth.
Enhances Curb Appeal
Mulch dramatically enhances the look of your property by making your plants pop and creating a beautiful contrast between your turf and gardens.
At TLC Landscaping, we use pine bark mulch that is a natural brown colour and is completely free of additives or dyes. This makes it completely safe for soil, plants, pets, and children.
We recommend that mulch be applied in a 3-inch layer throughout the garden and re-applied every 1-2 years; any thicker and it makes it difficult for oxygen to reach the soil and as a result, your plants suffer.
If you’re looking to breathe new life into your gardens this spring, mulch is your best solution. Still not convinced? Get in touch with our Client Care Team to learn more about the benefits of mulching for your condominium and commercial properties. | agronomy |

Needless to say it is our many and varied soils that (literally) provide the whole foundation of our philosophy and the way we work our vineyards.
During the winter, vines go into a state of vegetative repose, sap ceases to circulate within the plants, and so this is when we choose to prune. At Menade, prior to pruning manually, we carry out a useful, mechanized pre-prune which makes our subsequent labours a little easier.
We also use this time of year to further our investigative efforts and get to grips with the state and necessities of our soils so that we’re as prepared as possible for the challenges of the next cycle and harvest.
For four years now, each winter, we’ve therefore dug a series of trial pits in a number of different parcels in order to study our vines’ root systems and how they develop, analysing the composition of the soil at different strata (40, 80, and 100 centimetres) given that it is not unusual for roots to travel down to depths of more than a metre and a half.
The many samples that we extract reveal the varying levels of nutrients, pH and acidity present, and from these we can ascertain the effectiveness of the preventative treatments that we apply throughout the vegetative cycle.
Given the diversity of soils in our different parcels – which are composed of differing percentages of clay, limestone, sand, and pebbles – we run our checks over a spread of quite distinct sites.
Combatting maladies that affect the wood of vines
One the deadliest afflictions that can plague vines is Tinder – also known as Apoplexy Parasite. This, as implied in the name, is a parasitic disease caused by fungi that penetrate the wood through major pruning wounds and winds up completely desiccating and ultimately killing the plant. Once present, its onset is especially rapid in clay soils, which are deep and fresh; and once upon a time – in more brutalistic times – it was controlled by the truly radical application of sodium arsenic, the use of which has been prohibited for some years.
Menade, however, is one of a very few wineries to effectively fight this scourge in a natural way.
This basically consists of combatting pathogens biologically, which may sound rather drastic, but boils down to fighting one series of fungi with another – in this case trichoderma, a genus of the family Hypocreaceae, present in all soils, where they are the most prevalent culturable fungi .
The procedure is quite simply to coat the cuts/lacerations that result from each new pruning with a specially prepared liquid solution which works well during the low winter temperatures and quickly colonizes the plant to create a sealant that impedes invasion from the opposing forces.
It’s a slow process that needs repeating every year, but, after three years, it’s gradually doing the trick and we are not only grateful to those like-minded producers in France and Portugal who spurred us on; but delighted too that it fits our on-going ‘eco-logical’ philosophy. | agronomy |

KING BERRY FARM
Steve Scheller has been growing King Berry Farm since 1983. It began with a small patch of red and purple raspberries sold at a roadside picnic table. Having gained much experience as a former employee of Turner's Farm Market, Steve set off to grow his own business. As more customers came, requests for a variety of produce such as corn, tomatoes, and melons were sold from a simplistic rugged shack in years to come.
Steve purchased land from his parents Henry and Dorothy Scheller to develop King Berry Farm. Dorothy established the flower business, and Henry was Mr. Fix-it. There were endless projects on the farm. In 1996, Steve and Patti were married, and over the next 25 years, the Farm Market has expanded to include a gift shop, additional greenhouses and extensive raspberry patch. Steve's mom still works in the greenhouse each spring transplanting and creating our spectacular baskets and potted planters for sale in the Greenhouse.
The Raspberry Connection opened in 2010. Steve and Patti felt we wanted to express our faith in what we do daily and to share with the community our faith as well. We have expanded to feature Christian gifts, jams, wall art, home decor, books, greeting cards, fudge, candles, and patio serving dishes. We added a new entrance to the greenhouse in 2021.
Dan and Becca Kolonick are working side by side, helping to transition us through our path to retirement. | agronomy |

“Agriculture and food production produce food for almost 8 billion people and have a huge impact on resources, including water, soil, air, and energy,” Baker says. “For our food system to continue to feed the world, we must maintain and improve the productivity of these resources.”
French-Arnold points to studies showing that the best way to make an impact on climate change is to improve the food system. While SCU already offers a sustainability minor, the new Sustainable Food Systems minor focuses more specifically on food, agriculture, and the food system’s impact on climate change. French-Arnold helps teach this in her fall quarter Sustainable Food Systems class.
“I wanted to bring together all the classes around the University focusing on food and climate change and sustainability—the three pillars of sustainability: social, cultural, and environmental—and make that a minor,” French-Arnold says. “[This way], students who are interested in the food system can learn more about [it] as well as how they might look at jobs and careers in the industry, so they can make a difference in the future.”
Environmental Studies major Daniela Serrano ’23 says the minor has given her a place to explore her environmental interests in a more specific, concrete way. Course requirements for the minor have also provided her with real world experience, and given her hope that actual, tangible solutions exist to human-caused climate change.
“I feel like it’s really important to see that and then move on to other things,” Serrano says. “Hopefully one to one day, I’ll be able to work at one of those startups that’s trying to change the way we see food and the way that we throw away food. There are just so many opportunities in that space.” | agronomy |

Restricted travel has reacquainted them with the spaces, places and people on their doorstep, they’ve come to rely on a local shop or service and to value much more the availability of local fresh food and essential day-to-day provisions.
Recently we joined the Country Landowners Association, Happerley Kitchen Gardens and Fordhall Community Farm to discuss the growing demand for local fresh food and how farms and landowners can benefit from collaborating with their local communities.
At Plunkett we believe there’s an untapped opportunity for community groups to work with farmers and landowners to create community-owned farms, kitchen gardens and orchards to supply fresh produce to their local communities.
We want to create partnerships between local food producers and local shops and pubs – so that everyone has access to high quality, locally produced food.
As the national experts in rural community business we work with communities every day to tackle the challenges they face and to meet their communities’ needs. Our expertise in establishing and supporting community businesses could help create community-owned farms across the UK that would make a real difference to the local supply of food.
Working together we think we could help in three ways:
- Connecting local farmers to our network of over 1,000 community-owned shops and pubs
- Helping farmers with redundant land generate an income stream by subletting to food growing community groups
- Helping landowners who no longer wish to farm, but who wish their farm to remain a farm sell to a community farming group
Fordhall Organic Farm – a small farm with a big heart
Fordhall Organic Farm, in Market Drayton, north Shropshire, is England’s first community-owned farm following a high profile campaign in 2006. At the time over 8,000 people across the world supported the Hollins family to save their farm. Now owned by the community and still farmed by the family, Fordhall is a wonderful example of community spirit and organic farming – that demonstrates how small-scale farming, connected to the local community, offers a viable way of life for generations to come. Charlotte Hollins of Fordhall Farm explains: “We are incredibly proud to be community owned. We hope that our experience can inspire others to consider community- ownership and the benefits of working much more closely with your local community.”
At Plunkett we’d love to see rural communities benefit from having access to or producing their own fresh farm food. If you’re a landowner or community group thinking about producing local fresh food and need help and advice about setting up a rural community business we’d love to hear from you – email us at [email protected].

I made a small "X" on each tomato with a pairing knife and dropped them into salted simmering water until the skins just began to peel back. I removed the tomatoes and placed them in an ice water bath before carefully removing the skins.
If you're interested in how the ricotta was made just refer to a previous post from this summer. I won't bore you with it again.
The tomatoes were tossed in olive oil before being arranged on the plate. The ricotta came next. And then the basil leaves and flowers along with the lemon balm. The dish was finished with some sea salt and olive oil.

We have explained that there are several laws which apply to fruits and vegetables grown during the Shemitta year.
Elimination of Shevi’it Produce, In Israel and Abroad
Let us now discuss the laws of elimination of Shevi’it produce. We should point out that this law applies to both the residents of Israel and abroad; many people transgress this law due to a lack of knowledge. Additionally, some people have wine at home from the previous Shemitta year (5768 or even from the one before that, 5761) and they must be informed about how to treat such wine.
The following laws apply to the entire Shemitta year as well as to the eighth year, the year following Shevi’it. We must therefore be fluent in them, especially during this time.
To Which Fruits the Laws of Elimination of Shevi’it Produce Apply
Firstly, the laws of elimination of Shevi’it produce apply only to fruits which retain the sanctity of Shevi’it, i.e. fruits which grew on the land of a Jew in Israel during Shevi’it. However, fruits of the sixth year (even if they were harvested during Shemitta), fruits of non-Jewish fields, fruits from outside of Israel, or fruits of “Heter Mechira” do not retain the sanctity of Shevi’it and need not be eliminated.
Elimination of Shevi’it Produce
The Torah states regarding Shevi’it produce, “And the Shabbat of the land shall be for you to eat, for you, your servant, and your maidservant; and for your hired worker and your resident who dwell among you. And for your domesticated animal and for the beast in the field shall its produce be for food.” Our Sages (Pesachim 52b) that since the verse uses the words “and for your domesticated animal and the beast,” this means that the Torah wanted their law to be similar in that as long as the beast still eats in the field, one may feed his domesticated animal at home and if it ceases for the beast in the field, one must cease feeding it to one’s animal at home as well.
This means that the Torah teaches us that one may only eatShevi’it produce when this specific fruit is still available for the beast in the field as well. However, as soon as this species of fruit is no longer available in the field, it must be eliminated from one’s possession as well and it may not be eaten.
For example, figs that grow during the Shevi’it year are no longer available in orchards in the field beginning from Chanukah of the eighth year (approximately one year from now). Thus, if one has figs at home, one may eat them as much as he wishes. However, once Chanukah of the eighth year arrives when figs are no longer available in the field, one may no longer eat them at home either even if one has taken them several days before Chanukah, for from the time animals in the field can no longer eat this species of fruit, one may not eat this fruit at home either.
Every kind of fruit has its own special time for when it must be eliminated by. (There are likewise fruits and vegetables about which there is a doubt when they must be eliminated by.) We shall discuss this matter at length in following Halachot, G-d-willing.
The time when most fruits must be eliminated by is during the eighth year, i.e. next year, 5776. There are fruits, however, that must be eliminated by this year, 5775, such as the loquat fruit (a kind of orange plum grown in Israel known as “Shesek” in Hebrew) whose season is very short and requires elimination by approximately Sivan of 5775.
Regarding vegetables, in previous years, each vegetable’s time of elimination was based on its season at various times during theShemitta year. However, nowadays, there are vegetables which grow all year round, such as tomatoes, and therefore do not require elimination at all.
In the next Halacha we shall broaden this topic further and discuss the proper method of eliminating Shevi’it produce. | agronomy |

In times like these, when too many people are closing down their activities, someone decided to open for free an historic building
where the basic products for the survival of our territory were once produced: flour, oil and wine
In the heart of Le Marche
, in one of Corinaldo's hamlets, Madonna del Piano, there is a piece of cultural/historic heritage that is only waiting to be discovered by curious visitors.
They will be brought back in time in an era when life was ceirtanly harder but also less chaotic and maybe more peaceful.
The Patregnani and Sabbatini families that inherited the complex, recently decided to dust down the mill and the olive-press, abandoned for many years but that once were a reference point for the surrounding territory
First of all to do justice
to the farmers world which we all come from and towards which we should feel grateful. And also, to create a precious opportunity for young people
to get to know a world that also represents their own roots.
In the collection rooms you will be able to admire those grindstones
, dating back as far as the Middle Ages
, that transformed the rural products into wheat flour, maize flour and barley flour, thanks to the strength of the water drifted from the Cesano river.
And you will have the chance to discover how the cold pressing of olives
Another room is dedicated to show how the equipment to turn grapes into wine worked.
And at the end of this time trip, the quiet of the countryside awaits the visitors for a nice walk to the river, a bike tour or a simple nap on the green grass.
In the video below, images from the very first guided tour inside he collection, right after the press conference that inaugurated the place, on the 1st of May 2013 (subtitles hopefully coming soon).

We start in the vineyard, and actually prune our blocks differently than the rest of the vineyard. Here we use the cordon method, which gives us more even shoot growth, which in turn gives us more evenly ripened fruit. The only problem is that our yield per acre is about half of what the rest of the vineyard bears, and since we pay for the fruit by the acre, these sauvignon blanc grapes are always among the most expensive in the state. We also have our blocks grown organically for us. Beyond the health reasons for doing so, we think this gives us fruit of higher quality. Our careful growing allows us to harvest fruit with great natural balance. The juice was fermented and aged in older French oak barrels and the wine was bottled after seven months of sur lie aging (aged on the yeast lees). This vintage gave us a gentle wine with a beguiling spicy, smoky aroma. It is soft, floral and quite pretty. This light-bodied, accessible Sauvignon is an excellent aperitif-style white to enjoy over the next few years. | agronomy |

We supply high quality Compost delivered to your door.
Lawn dressing helps a lawn back to health. Its function is to add nutrients and organic materials to the soil. Lawn dressing restores the natural balance of the soil structure as well as aiding in the treatment and prevention of diseases and pests. We supply high quality Lawn dressing delivered to your door.
Let our experts help you in choosing the right lawn for your garden.
Types of grass we supply and plant:
Kikuyu The most affordable and hardy grass for domestic use, Kikuyu is a fast grower which requires sunlight. Kikuyu must be mowed every week to ensure it stays in tip-top condition because you don’t want to wait until it is too long.
LM grass LM grass can be planted in the semi-shade and sunny side of your garden but is very sensitive to frost if it is planted in the open. LM Grass is great for planting under trees where nothing will grow.
Evergreen All Seasons Evergreen. Evergreen is a mixture of summer and winter growing grasses to maintain a better cover all year round.
Edging is the perfect finishing touch to your garden beds. Edging also serves a practical use – it’s an effective way of keeping grass and weeds from growing into your flower beds and it will help keep the soil and mulch in your garden from washing away.

Usually we enjoy warmer days come mid-March, and the longer, sunnier days provide the opportunity for an increasing range of gardening tasks. It’s time to prep seed beds, sow seed, cut back winter shrubs and generally tidying up around the garden.
TOP 10 JOBS TO DO IN MARCH
- Protect new spring shoots from slugs
- Plant shallots, onion sets and early potatoes
- Plant summer-flowering bulbs including lilies, gladioli, nerines and freesias
- Lift and divide overgrown clumps of perennials. Good candidates include Agapanthus, Aster, Crocosmia, Delphinium, Euphorbia, Geranium, Helianthus, Hemerocallis (daylily), Salvia and Verbena.
- Top dress containers with fresh compost. Remove 5cm (2in) of old compost from the top of the pot and replacing with fresh compost.
- Mow the lawn on dry days (if needed)
- Cut back Cornus (dogwood) and Salix (willow) grown for colourful winter stems – they will then have plenty of time to put on new growth
- Hoe and mulch weeds to keep them under control early
- Start feeding fish and using the pond fountain; remove pond heaters
- Prune bush and climbing roses | agronomy |

Personally, I wish whole heartedly that politicians would come to their senses and begin to make decisions based on the good of the people as the people see it instead of thinking that because a particular company head or corporation has made millions or billions of dollars that they are the most qualified to direct our lives as they see fit. They don’t want to make all inclusive food labeling mandatory because big ag doesn’t want to be held accountable for the way they process our food. They want to ship oil by train and move it by pipeline regardless of the threat it poses to our land and our people living in the regions it will travel. They do want to regulate the smaller farmers to ensure they don’t cut into any of the profits of the huge agricultural giants.
If you are reading this you are literate, so you know the meaning of purpose. The reasons for indoor farming are vast. I read this morning where a county in Hawaii voted to restrict some of the farming practices by Monsanto concerning GMO produced seeds. Their main concern was the use of pesticides, which of course can be carried by the wind to crops grown by other farmers. When Monsanto took them to court, the judge found, not surprisingly, in favor of Monsanto saying that the county over reached their authority. Here is a county trying to oversee their own health and a member of the federal government tells them uh-uh, no way that you have control of yourself. So, in my opinion, they need to grow indoors. That way no matter what Monsanto does or some judges say, they would have almost complete control over their food.
I’ve also read recently people are upset that food companies don’t put more in depth labels on the items they produce, such as where it was grown, or whether it is GMO. Grow your own food at home or eat locally grown food and you won’t have to worry about it. A 250 mile radius is generally considered local when it comes to eating local. That seems a bit too far to me. I think I can get just about everything I would normally eat within 50 miles of where I live. If you can’t, maybe that is your call to action. Perhaps you should start growing big enough to feed yourself and your neighbors. If not you, maybe someone near you could be convinced to do so. Eventually, if you help to make big ag and the federal government obsolete, they’ll go away, in theory.
Some may want to grow food in their garage, or carport, or maybe even clean out a garden shed real well and grow there. Lots of people grow herbs in their kitchen, and growing vegetables is just an extension of that practice. There may be some folks not too far away raising chickens, and if so you might could trade some fresh lettuce or spinach for your weekly allotment of eggs.
It’s possible you just need a challenging hobby, and believe me, the bigger your farm or garden, the more challenging it will be. Just because you grow indoors doesn’t mean you can’t grow in soil. Raised garden beds can be utilized inside as well as outside. I prefer container gardening, buckets and grow towers, but for melons I find it’s easier to grow them in compost and soil in a much larger bed.
Whatever your reason or purpose for farming under the roof, it can be a great experience and provide a feeling of accomplishment. It’s pretty cool to invite friends and family over for dinner and be able to serve them a meal raised by your own hands at your own house. Of course if they get sick, that’s your fault too. So be sure to clean everything twice at least.
One last consideration would be to feed your down trodden. There is a fellow up in Virginia that built all his own greenhouses (2 I think), but they’re big,
and he seems to have the magic touch when it comes to growing. A couple of years ago he came up with a watermelon that weighed 50 lbs. and he grew it inside his greenhouse. On youtube, he’s known as MHP. He eats his own homegrown food but he doesn’t sell any of it, although he certainly could. He gives it away, to his church I believe, so it can find it’s way to the folks who truly need it. Can you imagine if this happened all over the country or even the world? I think there would be much less hungry people. Food for thought, eh? | agronomy |

You can read this post about apple seed germination there without the Amazon ads below. Any updates will only appear in the new blog. Thanks for your understanding!
If you want to grow your own lemon tree, come join the Lemon tree give-away!
In this post I'll teach you the procedure I followed to easily germinate apple seeds at home. This is a simple way to get your organic apple tree, if the apple you use is organic the seeds you will use will also be organic seeds! You can also try strawberry seed germination, pineapple seed germination, tomato seed germination, cotton seed germination, finally lemon seed germination and now ginger germination. More to come next spring!
- The first tree died, I think because its root system was too weak. I had 4 small apple trees, all in the same place, and watered at the same time but when I came back from the weekend only the first (which had the smallest set of roots, as the others had been kept longer to grow them) had died, I think excess heat and lack of water.
- Do not remove the seed cover until it is not completely necessary, by that time it will fall just touching it. Also if you keep them longer in the bag, they will grow longer and break it.
- For the first days after planting, water just a little every day (one or two teaspoons). After that, wait for the soil to dry completely before watering it again.
- By the way, the first leaves to appear (which have the shape of the seed, more or less) are called cotyledons, and will eventually fall. Real leaves of the tree don't look like them (take a look at the last picture).
If you enjoyed this post, or was lucky and got a nice and cute apple tree, leave a comment or picture, digg, stumble, share with friends or whatever you feel like doing. Thanks a lot!

Start by pruning the dead leaves to create room for new growth. Poinsettias can be tricky to maintain indoors even for a few weeks. How To Care For Poinsettias Indoors • How long can you keep a poinsettia alive?Laura S. Harris (2020, December 12.) How to Keep a Poinsettia Going After Christmas. But with a few tips and tricks up our sleeve, your poinsettias can stay fresh long after the ball drops on New Year's Eve. Moving it to fresh soil rich in phosphate fertilizer will help the poinsettia in the regrowth process. Damp potting soil should be placed at the bottom of the larger container. I was always told that if you wanted to save them after Christmas It might not last as long but it should recover. Consider these tips to keep your poinsettia looking bright. 1 – 2 days after watering, remove the poinsettia from its current planter by turning it upside down while keeping one hand on the soil to hold the soil in place. Although they can cause a few discomforting issues when the leaves are consumed by pets or children, they are not quite as deadly as some believe. Here is keeping your poinsettia plants blooming happily year after year! Poinsettias are “short-day” plants and need to receive less than 12 hours of sunlight for eight to 10 weeks.

You can take your pick from many local Mercados, a cooperative market or even the very modern SuperMaxi supermarkets. If you are indeed looking for organic food then you are better off visiting a cooperative market in your area. The one featured in this page is in San Joaquin, Cuenca.
This store is owned and managed by the cooperative. There are several of these stores in the Azuay Province (Cuenca is the capital) and also in the Guayas Province (Guayaquil being the capital)
No chemicals or artificial fertilizers are used in the farming at the cooperative. In some garden beds they use“companion planting”practices. This is where the natural insect repelling and nitrogen fixing crops (and other beneficial plants) are grown immediately next to lettuces etc. Crops are rotated between different beds to minimize any risks of damage from soil-born pathogens. Fresh organic material is also continually bought in to make new beds and freshen used ones.
This array of food cost a total of $12.00. Prices are unbelievably affordable whereas back home you would think twice before buying everything organic. To give you an idea here are some prices of produce in the Cooperative Market.
Red Pepper – $1.61 per kilo
Tomatoes – $1.00
Limes – 0.81 cents per kilo
Mangoes 0.94 cents per kilo
Purple cauliflower – 0.79 cents per kilo
Potatoes 0.62 cents per kilo
Hot Chillies 0.90 cents kilo
Carrots – 0.95 cents per kiloper kilo
Spinanch – 0.80 cents per kilo

Did you know that there are over 4,000 different varieties of potatoes grown in the Andes area. Many of these never go to market as they are traded amongst highland and lowland communities and even used as gifts for special occassions such as a wedding.

The photo above are of many different varieties that are available at the local Feria Libre Mercado in Cuenca.

Leveraging farmers’ knowledge for healthy farm management
Farmers use antibiotics to keep their herds healthy. But what happens when these antibiotics end up in manure? Transporting antibiotic-ridden waste can lead to increased antimicrobial resistance genes in the environment, affecting human and livestock health as well as soil and water microbiomes. In this project, Christine Georgakakos is analyzing how New York dairy farmers make antibiotic-related decisions and how farmers think about residues moving around their farms. Using interviews and focus groups on both conventional and organic farms, this project connects farmers’ knowledge with laboratory experiments to make better management suggestions and inform researchers, policy makers and farmers alike.

- Introduction to Apple Farms:
Apple farms are agricultural establishments specifically dedicated to the cultivation and production of apple trees and their fruits. These farms can range in size from small family-owned orchards to large commercial operations. Apple farms are typically located in regions with suitable climates for apple cultivation, and they play a significant role in meeting the global demand for apples.
Cultivation Methods in Apple Farms:
Apple farms employ various cultivation methods to ensure healthy and productive apple trees. Some common cultivation techniques include:
- Orchard Establishment: Apple orchards are carefully planned and established, taking into account factors such as soil type, drainage, sunlight exposure, and wind protection. Proper orchard layout and spacing are essential for optimal tree growth and fruit production.
- Tree Pruning: Regular pruning is crucial for maintaining the shape, size, and overall health of apple trees. Pruning helps improve light penetration, air circulation, and fruit quality, while also preventing disease and pest infestations.
- Pest and Disease Management: Apple farms employ integrated pest management (IPM) strategies to control pests and diseases effectively. This approach combines cultural, biological, and chemical control methods to minimize the use of pesticides and maintain a healthy ecosystem within the orchard.
- Irrigation: Adequate irrigation is essential for apple tree growth and fruit development. Apple farms utilize irrigation systems to provide the necessary water requirements, especially during dry periods, while avoiding excessive moisture that can lead to root rot or fungal diseases.
Popular Apple Varieties:
Apple farms cultivate a wide range of apple varieties, each with its unique flavor, texture, and uses. Some popular apple varieties grown on apple farms include:
- Red Delicious: Known for its iconic deep red color and sweet flavor, the Red Delicious apple is one of the most widely recognized apple varieties.
- Granny Smith: With its bright green skin and tart flavor, Granny Smith apples are popular for their crispness and suitability for baking and salads.
- Gala: Gala apples are characterized by their yellow or orange-red skin and sweet, aromatic flavor. They are often enjoyed fresh but can also be used in cooking and baking.
- Honeycrisp: Honeycrisp apples are known for their exceptional crispness, juiciness, and sweet-tart flavor. They are a popular choice for snacking and are often used in salads and desserts.
Apple Farming Techniques and Practices:
Apple farms employ various techniques and practices to ensure successful cultivation and high-quality apple production. These include:
- Thinning: Thinning is the process of removing excess apples from the tree to improve fruit size, quality, and overall tree health. Thinning allows the remaining apples to receive sufficient nutrients and sunlight, resulting in better flavor and color development.
- Harvesting: Apples are typically harvested when they have reached their desired level of maturity. The timing of apple harvest varies depending on the variety and intended use. Proper handling and storage after harvest are crucial to maintain apple quality and extend shelf life.
- Storage and Packaging: Apple farms often have specialized storage facilities equipped with controlled temperature and humidity to prolong the shelf life of harvested apples. Packaging techniques, such as waxing or using breathable bags, help preserve freshness and prevent moisture loss.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Q1: How long does it take for an apple tree to bear fruit? A: Apple trees generally take two to five years to bear fruit, depending on the apple variety and cultivation practices.
Q2: What are the optimal growing conditions for apple trees? A: Apple trees thrive in temperate climates with well-drained soil and full sun exposure. They require a certain number of chilling hours during winter for proper flower and fruit development.
Q3: Are apple farms environmentally friendly? A: Many apple farms employ sustainable and eco-friendly practices, such as integrated pest management and soil conservation techniques, to minimize environmental impact and promote biodiversity.
Q4: Can I visit apple farms for apple picking or tours? A: Yes, many apple farms offer apple picking experiences and farm tours, especially during the harvest season. It’s a great opportunity to learn about apple cultivation and enjoy the farm atmosphere.
Apple farms are vital contributors to the global apple supply chain, cultivating a wide variety of apples using specialized cultivation techniques and practices. From orchard establishment and pruning to pest management and harvesting, apple farms employ a range of strategies to ensure healthy tree growth and high-quality fruit production. Understanding the cultivation methods, popular apple varieties, and sustainable practices of apple farms helps consumers appreciate the effort and dedication behind the apples they enjoy. | agronomy |

Welcome to our website where you can find general information about living on a smallholding.
Over the last 10+ years we have developed our vegetable garden, planted an orchard and kept lots of different livestock. We have sheep to graze our paddocks, chickens and ducks to lay us eggs, a couple of geese as 'guard geese' and a few quail to lay us eggs, which are always welcome for those special occasions!
We grow our vegetables organically, making our own composts, liquid vegetable feed and try to follow organic methods. We are also very selective about the seeds we buy and also harvest our own seed where we can for use the following seasons. We grow flowers to decorate our house and give as gifts to friends, and generally be as self sufficient as we can.
We periodically run courses on; poultry keeping, vegetable growing, how to run a smallholding

Not just do these troublesome pets ruin the looks of your garden, however, the health of its plants. Moles largely eat earthworms, who transform small rocks as well as raw material into healthy humus, enhancing vastly the fertility of your soil.
Its feces is abundant in potash, nitrogen, and also phosphates, nutrients that greatly benefit the growth of your flora as well as animals. Along with enhancing the nutritional value of the soil, earthworms make it less complicated for plants to obtain water, by creating water drainage passages throughout the soil. Favor floricultural buddy over foe by taking control of the scenario with pest control.
Moles are a pest to farmers along with garden enthusiasts. They pollute the soil to feed livestock with dirt particles, cause soil to the surface area of pasture, leaving less room for the grazing of animals as well as consequently affecting their wellness, and damages farm machinery by bringing stones to the top of the dirt.
If you are sick of an irregular lawn as well as a diminished supply of those locals you do want in your yard, or sick of pastoral palaver, hence pest control is the answer. Online pest management services both stop and control mole populations by an array of techniques. | agronomy |

The low-falling number test was developed to test for starch activity. If the starch has been damaged by pre-harvest sprout or temperature shock during kernel filling (late-maturity alpha-amalase or LMA), the functionality of the wheat is compromised and millers and end-users will not buy the wheat.
Why is a low-falling number score of 300 seconds used as the measure of acceptable wheat?
The USDA – Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS) uses the following measures for starch activity in wheat:
Falling Number (sec.)
Indication of Starch Damage
No damage to starch
Some sprouting and other starch damage
Severe starch damage
What causes low-falling number wheat?
The two most common causes of low-falling number wheat are pre-harvest sprout and temperature shock during kernel filling (LMA). There are other causes, as well, which are being researched. This includes low protein content and smaller starch granules.
My wheat was not rained on, so why do I have low-falling number wheat?
Wheat is very sensitive to wide variations in temperature when starch is being laid down in the kernel, particularly 25-30 days past flowering. Record low temperatures in Nez Perce, Lewis, Latah, and Idaho counties between June 12 and 19, 2016 may have impacted the quality of starch as the kernel was filling. On June 12, the reported high temperature in Lewiston was 80 degrees and the low temperature was 44 degrees. A record low of 42 degrees was reached on June 15. Another day with wide fluctuations was June 17 with a high of 80 degrees and a low of 47 degrees.
How long has the low-falling number test been used? How come I have never heard of it before?
After receiving inferior quality wheat in 1994, complaints by Asian customers led to the implementation of the low-falling number scores as one of the export specifications and FGIS grading standards. The exporters in Portland have been using low-falling number equipment since that time. For the past 20 years, wheat being exported has been held to the 300 minimum low-falling number standard. On the domestic side, however, use of low-falling number equipment and scores did not become widely used until the pre-harvest sprouting that occurred in eastern Idaho in 2014.
In most years there are scattered low-falling number anomalies which are frequently handled by the elevator without any impact on the grower. However, this year the amount of wheat affected is so large that the elevators are having trouble assembling shippable quantities of wheat with a falling number score above 300 seconds, causing elevators to discount growers more widely than before.
Information on low-falling number wheat and the low falling number test can be found at the following link:
Can my wheat be blended?
Tests conducted by University of Idaho researchers have demonstrated that just one kernel of highly-sprouted wheat added to 2500 kernels of sound wheat reduced the falling number score by 100 seconds and turned the sample into “feed grade.” Unlike protein differences, which can be blended in a 1:1 ration to get an average value, LMA and sprout-damaged wheat caused by enzyme activity is a logarithmic relationship making it very difficult to blend. Growers who blend damaged grain with sound grain are taking a risk of making it all feed grade.
Will my falling number score be higher if I store the wheat and wait to market it?
Growers often ask about how storage affects falling number values. The scientific evidence is mixed with some experiments suggesting falling number may be altered after storage but it isn’t consistently higher than when the wheat went into storage.
Is the falling number test accurate?
There is a significant variation in the test scores. This is due primarily to the way the operator handles the sample and it may swing by as much as 30 points. The Wheat Commission suggests growers have their wheat re-tested if is lower than 300 but higher than 270. A re-test may move it high enough to make commercial grade. FGIS testing offers the least variation due to consistent handling by the operator. The FGIS test score is most credible because of the volume of tests and their consistency in handling.
Are some varieties of wheat more susceptible to low-falling number scores than other varieties?
This is being studied but no clear pattern has been determined. Nearly all varieties are affected this year, indicating climate and not variety, is responsible for the current low-falling number concern.
What market options do I have for my low-falling number wheat this year?
Growers should work with their elevator to find the best market. If the falling number score is below 200, it should be segregated into feed channels immediately to avoid contaminating commercial grade supplies. Feed channels are saturated due to abundant supplies of wheat on the world market so persistence is advised.
Elevators may be able to work with growers of wheat with falling number scores above 275. How far each elevator is willing to dip below 300 for commercial channels depends on their contract with the exporter and the customer’s end product use.
Wheat between 200 and 270 will have the most variability in market channel. Some may have to go into feed channels and some may find an export market where falling number scores are not an issue. Flatbread markets in the Middle East are possibilities. U.S. Wheat Associates is looking into Yemen and Bangladesh on behalf of PNW wheat growers.
Time, patience, and coming to terms with possible discounts are advised.
What research is being done to help work through this problem?
There are different causes of low-falling number wheat, and growers are being discounted for all causes, whether it affects end-use or not. Idaho, Oregon and Washington have committed grower funds toward a milling stream study to find out if the end product changes depending upon the cause of low-falling number. The hope is that a way to blend more wheat can be found, depending on the level of starch degradation.
In addition, the Idaho Wheat Commission has funded Dr. Amy Lin, a starch chemist, at the University of Idaho to pursue research into how starch quality is impacted by climate as it is being laid down in the kernel. Her preliminary findings indicate that in some situations a low falling number occurs when starch is not degraded and therefore end-use quality is not diminished.
What are the prospects for disaster declarations and emergency assistance from appropriate agencies?
IGPA met with the Director of the Idaho State Department of Agriculture and staff from Governor Otter’s office on August 9 and briefed them on the developing low falling numbers situation in Nez Perce, Lewis, Latah, and Idaho counties. IGPA also had conversations with members of our federal congressional delegation. While sympathetic, the sense is that little that can be done at this time to provide emergency assistance. IGPA has been asked to keep these partners up to date throughout harvest, and will do so – and we will follow up immediately if any opportunities arise to offer relief.
Will crop insurance cover my loss for low-falling number wheat?
Falling number below 300 could result in a crop insurance claim. Since the 2011 crop year, the Risk Management Agency implemented a Falling Number Discount Factor Table as an allowable quality adjustment for crop insurance. Falling number between 200 and 299 have discount factors ranging from 5.2% to 15.7%. The applicable discount factor is applied to bushels harvested and reduce the Production to Count for claims purposes.
Falling Numbers less than 200 fall into a Reduction in Value (RIV) procedure. If the wheat is sold to a disinterested third party within 60 days of the end of the insurance period (prior to December 31), the discount factor will be the sum of RIVs (cash discounts applied by the buyer) divided by the local market price. If unsold on December 31 or later, or sold to other than a disinterested third party, then the discount factor is 50%. Discount factors for multiple covered quality deficiencies can be combined except sprout damage and falling numbers discounts. | agronomy |

Since 2012, when the official farm-to-fork movement began, the Sacramento community has highlighted many of its diverse and wide-ranging offerings including rice, almonds, tomatoes and more with weekly farmers’ markets and of course, Farm-to-Fork week in September!
The Sacramento Zoo is no stranger to the farm-to-fork movement and has increased its sustainability and offerings of local fare right alongside the regional movement. From the browse fed to the animals that comes right from the zoo’s own backyard (and our neighbors’ backyards!) to the delectable treats served at Kampala Café and Savannah Snacks, the food consumed at the zoo is locally sourced from less than 300 miles.
Even the zoo’s fundraising events feature locally sourced food! Wild Affair, the zoo’s annual gala fundraiser being held on September 16, features a farm-to-fork dinner presented by Supper Club.
Take a stroll behind Kampala Café and you’ll notice a seasonal garden planted by the zoo’s horticulturalists, featuring eggplant, rosemary and some edible wildflowers for the zoo’s animals.
Along with copious amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables, the animals at the zoo require bushels of browse (non-toxic leaves and branches) every day. While browse grows throughout the zoo, there is also a browse garden specifically planted with many treats for various animals that are cut fresh to order. The zoo also accepts donations of fresh plant clippings from Sacramento residents; it cannot get more fresh and local than that! If you meander toward the gibbon exhibit, you’ll notice a browse garden featuring some of the zoo animals’ favorite treats including camellia for the primates, acacia for the giraffes and plenty of bamboo throughout the zoo for the adorable red pandas!
Hopefully the next time you visit the zoo, you’ll notice all the ways in which the animals and our guests experience farm-to-fork, just as you can at home and in your local restaurants.
There are several ways that you can be involved in the Sacramento Zoo’s farm-to-fork movement. Donate your locally grown tree trimmings to be used as edible treats for the animals through our Browse Program, eat at the Kampala Café, or purchase a ticket to Wild Affair. Even just visiting the zoo helps us continue to care for the animals and provide them with locally sourced food! | agronomy |

It was a fantastic, eye-opening experience of a farm brimming with activity and innovation.
Tim’s approach is one that recognises the sheer complexity of nature, in a world in which people, plants and animals co-exist on the land. Where possible, the idea is to create harmony within the ecology. By introducing circularity into the system, rotating animals as they graze and fertilise the land, Tim aims to nurture the soil, restore the land and create fantastic produce in a truly sustainable manner. I’d heartily recommend his excellent website for more information on regenerative farming and much else.
There are lots of ways in which Tim embeds these regenerative approaches into his farming, and walking around with him is like spending time with a farming encyclopaedia. His mind flits from crafty inventions he’s introduced at Kingsclere, to sharing technical insights into companion cropping or soil texture – all the while trying to cast light on some of the little pieces of nature’s jigsaw that he is putting back together on his land.
The mobile dairy station, where our visit began, is one such ingenious idea. Tim’s cows are milked on a platform that can be transported around the farm at will. This allows him to move the cows around the fields on different days, ensuring all the land is fed with fresh, organic nutrients and avoiding ‘hotspots’ of over-fertilisation. Even the little details matter to him, like encouraging the animals to traipse back up hills and across fields after milking to get their feed, recreating as much as possible the natural relationship between animals and the land.
A mobile chicken coop on the farm works off a similar principle, helping the birds to peck at the land and the bugs that inhabit it. They are the most free-range of chickens. In turn, they offer another dimension of fertilisation and different minerals to enrich the land. Once again, variety, diversity and complexity are at the heart of everything. It’s a life-affirming way of managing the land.
And that’s what I loved about meeting Tim: watching his joy at nature and passion for the land and its produce. Where the naked eye sees just a field of grass, Tim spies a vast, outdoor salad bar full of peppery herbs, bitter chicory and sweet edible flowers. There is a Willy Wonka-like delight in seeing him pulling up sugar beets the size of your head, which contain so much sucrose they are too sour for us to eat, but make an excellent treat for the cows during winter, stored in nature’s pantry, the ground itself.
I also greatly admire Tim’s willingness to collaborate. He knows that there are countless ways to use the land and none of us has the time to do everything.
So he opens up the land to work with others, who can bring new uses to it. That gives Tim the chance to concentrate on managing the whole show and all the moving parts involved in the production – while also making time for his family and the local community.
Because that’s the other thing in farming: people matter, communities matter. Although farming ought to be an immensely fulfilling career, it can also be an extremely challenging one. It was particularly poignant meeting Tim shortly before World Mental Health Day. Rates of suicide among farmers in the UK are some of the highest of any occupational group. As much as we talk about looking after nature and the land, we can’t forget to look after ourselves. Regenerative farming must ensure that people are part of the equation.
In the coming weeks, I hope to have more news for you about my own plans to start off in the world of farming. I’ll be taking Tim as an inspiration when I do and I want to thank him greatly for his generosity in sharing so much of his time with a newcomer like me. The future of our farming must be sustainable and regenerative; it’s time we gave more credit to some of the people making that a reality.

The Historic Westside Gardens (HWG) is equipping Westside residents with the tools and resources to grow their own food, and the Garden Angels — fellow Westside residents who serve as leaders, teachers, coaches, community activists, surveyors and advocates — offer just one of a handful of current programs that assist residents in the community with gaining more access to fresh, healthy and affordable food.
Founded in 2008, HWG has grown from its initial training gardens to include providing garden plots for individuals and families, operating the Westside Growers’ Market that allows the public to buy fresh local produce, and supporting the Urban Fresh Community Garden that supplies the Westside Growers’ Market and hosts additional space for small plots.
The Westside Growers’ Market was started in 2016 as a test initiative of HWG and the Atlanta Food Bank/Food Oasis, operating at the corner of Lindsay Street and North Avenue. Since then, it has grown and relocated to its current location at the corner of Boone and Lowery Boulevards in the heart of the community, operating on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Food Oasis remains committed to the Westside Growers’ Market by providing access to the Wholesome Wave, “double-your-EBT” capacity and a small amount to purchase fruits.
Visitors to the Market this spring can find some combination of kale, collard greens, arugula, Swiss chard, snap peas and spinach, as well as okra, tomatoes, squash and peppers that are likely to come in the summer.
According to Garden Angel Rosario Hernandez, a community resident and the lead organizer of the Market, “It’s a real asset to the community because it’s the only affordable fresh produce market in the neighborhood that’s operated by the residents.” She continues, “The reason why I started growing fruits and vegetables is because I could not find anywhere to buy them.”
In addition to assisting with access to affordable fresh food, the Market also provides nutritional information and classes where residents can learn more about making healthier choices.
Just up the road from the Market sits the Urban Fresh Community Garden at 1211 Joseph E. Boone Boulevard with an expanding footprint of farming space and resources. In the front of the property, a few dozen box gardens are being tended to and managed by individuals and families. Around back there is dedicated land for growing vegetables that ultimately end up in the Growers’ Market. Garden Angels help maintain the property, assisting families with their individual boxes as well as tending to the larger communal garden.
Garden Angel Arthur Hines grew up in the Westside neighborhoods adjacent to the Urban Fresh Farm before embarking on a music career, and he split much of his young adult life between Atlanta and farming with his friends in California. After some time, he noticed a huge disparity in the amount of fresh food available to his friends and family on the Westside and the effects of poor dietary habits, particularly among the senior residents of the community.
“I watched about five seniors die from diabetes, heart attack, stroke, etc.,” says Hines. “So, I started to grow and help them grow…[M]ost of the seniors in the beginning of our Urban Fresh Garden Club, they would walk over and water the plants and pick a few vegetables, and from there we just started to build on that.”
Historic Westside Gardens eventually formed a partnership with Hines and Urban Fresh to further support its programming. Currently, it is free for Westside residents to participate in the gardening program, either at the farm or in their homes. As a Garden Angel, Hines will visit residents’ homes for a consultation and to talk about what crops they’d like to grow. From there, he can have a raised garden bed box in place within a week.
The mission and success of the program have begun attracting more support from the community with an eye to help Historic Westside Gardens expand its impact.
“I believe that gardens in people’s houses are the best solution for urban gardening,” says new HWG board member Laurene Hill. “It brings it back home, and it gives everyone a feel for nature, the environment and the planet.”
According to Historic Westside Gardens lead organizer Gil Frank, hopefully all of their efforts are leading to an increase in the number of gardeners and Garden Angels so that fresh local food can be part of the identity of the community and its current residents. That starts with a collaborative effort to fight displacement in the communities.
“When we displace people, we displace food, and it is already happening with some of our gardeners,” says Frank. “We have to address the issue of land urban agriculture to stabilize the displacement. We also have to reconnect people with food.”
Short term goals for the Historic Westside Gardens also include the formation of an advisory committee of residents and stakeholders, the possible addition of a cafe and an increased access to tools and gardening projects. By the end of the year, they will have empowered 200 gardeners; by 2021 the goal is to have 500.
According to Frank, “Five years from now we will have leadership made of people who are successfully demonstrating the capacity to take care of their lives.”

Greetings from Trescott, Maine … and thanks for trying Heidi’s Plant Pep™ – an organic plant food for every plant. You probably are interested in this fertilizer for the some of the same reasons I developed it – you want healthy plants. You are no longer comfortable using chemicals in your garden (or you never were...), but still need something to enhance the productivity of your soil. I was in the same position in 1987 when I became an avid composter. My friends accused me of gardening just to have a great compost pile. Composting should always be an important part of gardening. Yet, having gardened in many States, I can honestly say, that I have not met a soil, which did not need some adjustment. I want to be sure that my plants are provided with all the nutrients they need to grow optimally.
The “herbal brew for plants” idea came to me while nursing a winter cold with a cup of herbal tea. If the herbs speed the healing process in us, could they have enhancing properties for the soil?
After researching the chemical profiles of many herbs, the final blend is made from 21 herbs, granulated kelp, and greensand, providing the soil with 32 micro-nutrients.
As the herbalist and landscape curator at the Canterbury Shaker Village Museum, I had a three acre testing site for the fertilizer at my fingertips. The testing results could not have been better. The plants looked and felt strong, developed a robust green color, an excellent bloom cycle and were very flavorful. In 1991 - after three seasons of testing, this totally organic fertilizer was marketed under the name of “Earthminder” in bulk form. Since then I continued to make adjustments to the formula and to make it user-friendly for container and houseplants. “Heidi’s Plant Pep™”, the final product, is sold in boxes containing 5 brew bags and complete instructions. It is as easy to use as brewing tea! It is thrilling that one box weighing only 5 ounces, makes 20 gallons of organic fertilizer! Gone are the days when you need help lugging the 50 pound fertilizer bags! The purple box, with its attractive label, can stay right in the house as a reminder that your plants need food every 2 to 3 weeks.

Thursday / 21 NOV
17:00 - 18:30
Christiane Diehl (Executive Director of the European Academies Science Advisory Council, EASAC) opened the session by briefly introducing EASAC and its major aims along with InterAcademy Partnership (IAP). She then gave the floor to Ervin Balázs (member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and organiser of this event), who shared some facts, thoughts and questions about whether we can one day reach sustainable development goals in agriculture. The first speaker, Sheryl Hendriks (University of Pretoria, South Africa), critically reviewed the most important areas and challenges for sustainable agriculture, with an emphasis on examples and problems in Africa. She referenced the reports of EASAC and IAP and outlined the globalisation of diet (increased demand for non-local and non-seasonal agricultural products, leading to increased processing and transportation), climate change (extreme drought periods as well as flooding, potentially leading to food insecurity, starvation and migration) and food safety and food waste issues as major threats to sustainable agriculture. As for solutions, among others, she proposed providing more information both to policy makers and farmers on the overuse of agrochemicals, on better and more dynamic seed distribution methods, on aquaculture (to link plant cultivation and, for example, fish cultures), as well as on food safety regulations and methods to prevent plant diseases in developing countries. The second speaker, Paulo Artaxo (University of São Paulo, Brazil), started his presentation with the biggest question in sustainable agriculture: How can we feed 10 billion people and at the same time keep the average global temperature increase below 2°C? He recalled that the 2°C value represents only an average temperature rise, but several continental regions of tropical countries are expected to see a much higher increase (4-5°C), which would have a strong negative impact on their agricultural productivity, further increasing global economic differences. In addition, agriculture is responsible for 37% of global CO2 emissions, which cannot be fully minimised. He emphasised that deforestation should be stopped and replaced by reforestation and afforestation. The production of sustainable bioenergy or crops with better photosynthetic performance and thus yield are challenges to be solved. Due to limited soil and water resources, humans also should probably change their eating habits (for example, by decreasing meat consumption in developed countries). József Popp (Szent István University, Hungary) agreed with the previous speaker in that we should eat less, especially dairy and meat products. He also underlined that 1.3 billion people are overweight worldwide, while 800 million people are undernourished (that is, are not able to satisfy their daily necessary calorie intake needs), and 2 billion people are affected by hidden hunger (that is, eating calorie-rich food lacking essential ions and nutrients). In his opinion high water, energy and food losses from agriculture may also be regarded as technological challenges, while food waste is also a personal choice. After these interesting and inspiring presentations, a very active discussion started amongst the lecturers and audience (researchers from different countries including Romania, India, Serbia and Hungary) on the potential use, regulation and deregulation of genetically modified organisms as well as on precision farming to achieve sustainable development goals in agriculture. Closing remarks and a summary of the session were provided briefly by Robin Fears (Biosciences Programme Director, EASAC).

She is a rice farmer and lives in the central region of Malawi, a few miles from Lake Malawi. We’ve been supporting Masida for the last two years with farming loans and farming-specific training and mentoring. Masida has invested the loans in seeds and fertilizers which have considerably increased her yields: she now farms 0.5 hectares, while previously she only had 0.1 hectares.
Masida uses the rice she farms to feed her growing family. She sells the surplus. With the profits, Masida has extended her house, and pays for school fees for her three children, two of which are at secondary school.
In the future, Masida hopes to pay for iron sheets for the roof of her house, a cement floor and proper window pains to keep the rain out during the heavy rains | agronomy |

A few weeks back I asked Ralph (Caveman) for a garden fence. The fence idea was originally to keep critters out, but evolved to keep littles out too. Gummy Bear can’t help himself in that fresh dirt!
This is a hard post for me
I believe strongly in the power of hard work, so I push myself, usually to the limit. But it’s no longer just about me. I can work myself to the bone, push my body farther than I should and I’m usually ok with that. I mean yes, it does wear me thin. Yes, it does get exhausting and I do have break downs. I’m not super human or anything. But the problem comes when the list of things to do is longer than I can handle at a comfortable pace, so I push.
Since the end of March and practically all of April I was locked out of my blog in a seemingly endless password battle, I’m just going to lump April’s garden update in here with May. Be prepared for lots of pictures.
I think with all the brush we’ve been clearing, and all the yard clippings, the best thing to do is build a hugelkultur mound. I’ve never built one, never mind grown in one, so this will be interesting.
New house, new garden
Well, we moved and bought a house. Yay! That also means we have to start fresh with the garden. All the hard work I put into my perennial herbs, and berry patches, left behind. But it’s ok.

There are many different types of seeds to choose from. The following article will help you get started in growing an organic horticulture success.
This boosts the chance that your plants can survive to adulthood. This method also helps tighten time between planting cycles. Your seedlings will be ready to go in as soon as you remove your old mature plants.
Plants require a good amount of CO2 grow well.Most plants grow better with more CO2. A greenhouse will provide plants with an environment rich in CO2.
Using natural materials in your garden is a good way to keep pests away. Planting marigolds or onions around the border of your vegetable garden will repel slugs.These methods remove the need for harsh chemicals.
Purchase a wheelbarrow, as well as a wheelbarrow or wagon. Spending time on the ground is rough on the knees, that is why it is important to have a portable and lightweight garden stool that you can use for comfort. Gardening also requires transporting heavy objects and lots of dirt, so a wheelbarrow makes for a wise investment.
Don’t use broad-spectrum pesticidal products anywhere in your garden. These kinds of pesticides kill useful insects that eat your pests. Beneficial insects are more susceptible to toxic pesticides than their annoying counterparts, so if the good bugs are eliminated, the bad pest population may grow. This may then lead to using more pesticides to eliminate this new problem.
Use care when you are watering your garden. Use a hose with a soaker attachment to save you time, or a watering can that needs to be refilled repeatedly. Keep the water pressure on your hose low so you don’t harm fragile plants. Let it water the plants for a few hours while you do other things.
Using plants that all grow to the same height result in a flat and uniform looking bed.
It is essential to keep your knees protected as you are horticulture. Many people can not bend over for extended periods of time when standing up.

A Lesson for Kindergarten, First, and Second Grade
by Ann Carlyle
Ann Carlyle, a Math Solutions Inservice consultant, has been an elementary teacher in Goleta, California, for more than 30 years. She is the 1993 Presidential Award winner for Excellence in Mathematics Teaching and the 2000 recipient of the George Polya Memorial Award from the California Mathematics Council. Farmer’s Math grew out of her work in her kindergarten classroom.
Gardening provides young children with rich mathematical opportunities. Not only do students engage in counting, measuring, and collecting data when gardening, but they also have a wonderful time.
The gardening project in my kindergarten classroom began with a simple seed. We passed around a fava bean, which is similar to a lima bean, and imagined what kind of plant it would become. The children recorded their thinking in their journals. Then a child “started” the seed by wrapping it in a paper towel, keeping it moist in a plastic cup, and placing it in a sunny spot in the classroom.
Once the seed sprouted, which took about three days, we transplanted it in some soil and began to watch it grow and flourish. (If a classroom doesn’t have access to some soil outside, the seedling can be put in a planting cup.)
We took note of the seedling regularly, and the children recorded its progress in their journals. We first measured the height of the seedling with Unifix® cubes and recorded the progress of the sprout. We saved an original unsprouted seed, which was about one inch in length, and compared it to the length of the new seedling. Later we dug up the seedling, washed off the roots, took a total measurement of the roots, the seed, and the length of the shoot, and compared it to the unsprouted seed. We replanted the seedling and, once they appeared, counted the leaves. Eventually we counted the blossoms on the plant and the number of beans in a pod.
As we watched the seedling grow, we read children’s books with a gardening theme to support the students’ understanding and interest. In Eve Bunting’s Sunflower House (San Diego: Harcourt Brace & Co, 1996), the characters are inspired to plant seeds in a rectangular arrangement, hoping that they will grow into a garden structure. Eventually the characters are able to go inside this house, a special place that came about through the careful tending of the seedlings by the children.
Janet Stevens’s book Tops and Bottoms (San Diego: Harcourt Brace & Co, 1995), inspired the creation of a bar graph of the students’ favorite vegetables.
Graphing their preferences was an opportunity to collect data about “bottom” vegetables (such as carrots, potatoes, and onions), “middle” vegetables (such as lettuce, broccoli, and celery), and “top” vegetables (such as corn).
After our experience with the fava bean, we planted sunflower seeds and measured these dramatic plants as they grew. After a while, we found the Unifix® cubes to be too small for measuring, so we instead used Popsicle sticks. We cut a strip of adding machine tape the same height of the sunflower, placed it on a horizontal surface, and placed Popsicle sticks end-to-end along the paper tape. Also, we picked a large sunflower leaf and measured how many cubes fit around the perimeter. Then we counted how many cubes filled the area of the leaf outline.
Using a sample spoonful from a collection of seeds (a commercial packet of 15-bean soup works well here), we made a bar graph of the various kinds of beans. We compared one spoon sample to another sample to see how different or similar they were.
We compared plants and garden animals for likenesses and differences and recorded our thinking on a class Venn diagram.
We like to think of our classroom as a farm, where we grow plants and ideas. Our children are growing as well, and our gardening experience helps to nurture their growth.

It’s not cold weather, hurricanes, or drought that threatens Florida’s citrus crops, but the Asian Citrus Psyllid that carries the deadly citrus disease Huanglongbing.
The insect, which spread into the state from Latin America, has already reduced crop forecasts by 9-percent. Some speculate Florida’s US$9 billion orange crop, the second-largest in the world after Brazil’s, may not survive the incurable disease. Groves throughout the United States are threatened.
“You travel to Florida, and you talk to the producers there, and you come back and you have lumps in your throat,” president of grower group California Citrus Mutual, Joel Nelson, told the Australian Broadcast Company. “Each grower tells a different story as to what impressed them and distressed them from a Florida situation.”
There’s no known cure for the “citrus greening”, despite the best efforts of numerous research labs. Will a spinach gene save America’s orange trees? Or will the California’s farmers importing of a Pakistan wasp, known by the scientific nom de gurerre Tamarixia eradicate the menace?
The Pakistan wasp “is going to be our number one weapon to control the Asian Citrus Pysllid,” said Mark Hoddle, an invasive species expert at UC Riverside. “We have no other choice except to use this natural enemy or do nothing, and the “do nothing” potion is unacceptable.”
As researchers continue to find ways to eradicate citrus greening, Coca-Cola, which owns Minute Maid, has announced it will invest US$2 billion to plant 25,000 acres of new Florida orange groves. | agronomy |

The portal is available to all agricultural producers in Serbia, majority of which small or family producers, who due to the pandemics cannot sell goods on the green markets.
Specific issues addressed and anticipated impact
The registration of buyers, sellers and distributors is very simple. On the map, the buyer can easily identify a food producer in his area, check through the offering, select products and ask for delivery. Organic food is specially marked. On the first day of work, the portal was visited by more than 19,000 people, while 771 food producers were registered. In the first hour of work, a farm from Trstenik sold a ton of carrots through the portal. The solution is used not only by the individual buyers, but also by companies that supply retail chains and cooperatives. Every citizen can directly order goods from "e-greenmarket" by searching for desired products or contacting the manufacturer by phone or email. The delivery is done directly to the home address, or through courier services.
Expectations that even when green markets open again, the retail chains will continue to use the portal to procuring goods from domestic producers proved to be true. Three weeks after the state of emergency has been canceled, there are 1200+ producers active on the portal.

It’s also quite a bit of work, but if you’re willing to put in the time and effort, you can enjoy some excellent results with this method.
Hydroponic gardening is basically the same as traditional gardening, except that it uses water-based fertilizers instead of soil. The roots of the plant are suspended in a nutrient-rich solution that allows them to absorb all the nutrients they need from the water.
Choosing hydroponics equipment is not as simple as going to your local hardware store and buying what you need. There are many considerations to keep in mind when choosing your hydroponics system.
When you have decided to grow your own plants and vegetables, you may wonder how you can go about it. The best way to start with is to decide what kind of plant you want to grow. You need to consider the space available in your house, because some plants are taller than others. Also, if you want to grow vegetables like tomatoes or cucumbers for example, then you must know that these plants need a lot of space and light.
The next thing that you need to consider is whether or not you want your plants to be indoors or outdoors. If they are going to be indoors, then it is best if they have their own room where they can receive sunlight from one side only or from above all the time. This makes it easier for you as well as them, because they will not have trouble getting enough sunlight when they need it most during the day.
The size of your hydroponic system will depend on the number of plants you want to grow and how much space you have available. Smaller systems are easier to maintain than larger ones, but they also require more frequent adjustments to keep them operating correctly.
There are two main types of hydroponic systems – ebb and flow and drip systems. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages. Drip systems are more efficient at delivering nutrients, but they require more maintenance than ebb and flow systems do. Ebb and flow systems deliver nutrients through a pump that recirculates water back into the reservoir, which reduces evaporation from the root system but also means that you have to check the water level regularly so that it doesn’t overflow from the trough onto your countertop or floor. | agronomy |

Let me tell you a secret. I do magic.
In my hand I hold charcoal colored seeds, no bigger than mouse droppings. A friend collected them when they fell from his morning glories and has now shared them with countless others. The back of my neighbor’s garage, which butts up to my driveway, will be their playground once I erect a chicken wire trellis for them to climb. Imagine a whole wall of violet blue flowers unfurling with early morning sun then raveling closed at night. They promise to draw bees, butterflies and hummingbirds, guests I am eager to host. Morning glory flowers are edible. The seeds serve as a laxative and can be used as a hallucinogenic. The leaves heal insect bites and stings. Dry those leaves to make tea in winter and the liquid relieves frostbite and chilblains.
All this magic from nascent seeds.
They will go in an area of ground being readied especially for them. My retired neighbor has been helping in the preparations. With the attentive precision of a scientist-midwife, she monitors the compost pile; adds layers of leaves and grass clipping from her yard, dutifully spreads grounds from a coffee shop. Many others help. Worms, mice, creeping crawlies and whatever else turn our apple cores, eggshells, onion skins and so on into dirt. Into this dark richness I’ve mixed chicken poop from the community garden center. In a world where we categorize smell as good or bad based on appeal or lack thereof, I pause and inhale happily.
It is the scent of time and place consecrated; redeeming what was discarded as foul, worthless refuse into new life. It is fragrant hope borne out of a communion of living things bent on shared purpose. Together we make soil so plants can thrive. | agronomy |

…………………….Yes, a Pinot Noir from Spain, a contradiction in terms perhaps, but this wine is exceptional! Utiel-Requena is in Valencia. It is a DO (Denominación de Origen) which was created in 1957 and is literally between the towns of Utiel and Requena. Grape growing and wine production in the area dates back to 7th Century BC.
The area has a continental climate which sounds great for a holiday, but due to the frequent hailstones and frost, it is considered one of the most severe grape growing climates in Spain. The temperature can rise to 40⁰C and drop to -10⁰C. The unbearable heat is moderated by a cool wind known as the Solano which blows in from the sea, 70kms away (as the crow flies). The anticipation leading up to harvest must be “nail-biting”.
The winery was built in 1905 and restored recently in 2009… Rafaela, Pablo and Marc are responsible for this outstanding operation. Their Pinot Noir vines are planted on chalky clay soil at 4000 vines per hectare which is low compared to some vineyards in Burgundy where 7500 to 10 000 is common. Harvest is carried out by hand, carefully choosing only the best bunches, and placed into plastic containers which can hold up to 15kgs. Harvest is done first thing in the morning to ensure the grapes are kept at optimal temperatures. The grapes are kept in a cold storage room for three days before being sorted and de-stalked.
The “three wise men” have chosen new 400 litre American oak barrels which always influence a distinguished vanilla characteristic. The preference here is cold maceration, so the lids of the barrels have been removed and the use of an ingenious system of “radiators” ensures the maceration temperature is maintained at 8⁰C for a period of 4 days.
The Cap is punched daily and as soon fermentation begins the cold water which runs through the radiators is turned off to allow the temperature to rise to 26⁰C.
It is impossible to stay calm when the first hit of aroma bounds out of the glass and awakens the senses. A bouquet of violets laced with cinnamon and black pepper. On entry the full but soft tannins seem sweet and velvety.
My pairing for this wine is Monkfish wrapped in Pancetta served with St Enodoc Asparagus and a sophisticated curry sauce.
The pancetta softens the tannins, which allows the intensely flavoured wine to flourish. The body matches that of the monkfish. The cassis, dark cherry and pepper marries well with the curry sauce, enhancing the crunchy asparagus, leaving a long finish of violets and red fruit on the satisfied palate. | agronomy |

The wine region of the Douro Valley is a region that goes beyond the production of good wines and with incredible landscapes – it is also a place full of fascinating curiosities.
In 2001 it was classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, due to its particular characteristics!
First, we must talk about the climate: it is an extremely hot region in the summer (sometimes 50ºC, as I myself experienced during the heat wave in 2018) and cold in the winter (it can reach temperatures of -5ºC and have ice formation and snow, as I also confirmed in the past winters, in the mornings). This is due to the mountains surrounding the valley: Serra do Marão. At an altitude of 1900 meters, these mountains are large enough to prevent wind and humidity from the Atlantic Ocean from passing into the Valley, which creates extreme climates.
The heat during the summer is ideal to be able to produce grapes with the quality and desirable characteristics to make Port wine. The more sun they get, the more sweet the grapes become!
Another important factor is also the type of stone that exists in this region. Schist is all over the valley: it is where the fruit trees are set, with a layer of soil between the plant and the stone. This very special stone has microscopic pores that retain liquids and even allow fuels to form, like oil! By retaining rain and river water, all the plant has to do is grow its roots to the point where it can water itself. This means that the human being has little or nothing to interfere in the irrigation process. Shale is also used in decorative pieces and to make walls or walls.
Those who visit the Valley can also observe that the vineyards are distributed in an organized way, in rows, along the mountain. This distribution has to do with: the best position for the tree to have access to shale or other irrigation systems more effectively; so that all trees are exposed to the sun evenly; and to create a kind of “step ladder” that helps workers pick the grapes manually on a flat surface, rather than on a sloping surface.
Better than reading this information, just visiting the Douro Valley! It is impressive to be able to observe nature doing its job so perfectly, almost to encourage man to produce some of the best products in Portugal.
We are waiting for you to take you on one of our tours and be able to show you what I just told you, live!

Spring radiation frost costs Australian grain growers alone an estimated $360 million in annual direct and indirect losses, according to research.
Descartes Head of North Asia & Australia Ben Qin says many growers, particularly of grain crops, are currently extending plantings because prices are high.
“Big investments mean larger losses if a spring frost hits, so growers need to talk to their insurance brokers about the potential for parametric cover to buffer them against costly crop failures,” Mr Qin says.
“Traditional insurance is expensive or unavailable for growers, so many bear the cost themselves when radiation frost – the most common in Australia – occurs. With high crop yields expected, this is not the year to carry the burden alone.”
Parametric insurance, unlike traditional cover, provides pre-specified payouts based on trigger events – for example, when ground temperatures drop to specific levels.
Descartes designs trigger points in partnership with brokers and their clients, customising them to suit locations, long-term regional climate trends, and growers’ anticipated losses.
Mr Qin says growers considering parametric insurance need to plan early.
“The lead-up time is vital. If we’re to consider offering a policy starting in August, we need to be approached in June/July to enable us to underwrite the risk and lock in the parameters well before the season starts.”
Descartes says it uses non-traditional underwriting methods with state-of-the-art technology, including data from Internet of Things (IoT) devices installed at insured properties, combined with information on climate patterns, to individually price risks.
“Many growers already have weather stations with IoT capability,” Mr Qin says.
“Descartes can analyse the risk of temperature fluctuations and cold spells during critical points in growing seasons.
“Payments are made when pre-determined thresholds are triggered, for example, if the ground temperature drops to -2C, that could trigger a starting payment of say 25% of the indemnity limit, ranging up to 100% if the temperature reaches -4C.”
With parametric insurance, there is no requirement for onsite loss adjusters to assess the cost of damaged crops, no policy excess amounts, and coverage can be targeted to specific locations on a grower’s property, given low-lying ground is potentially more susceptible to frost.
Descartes says frost is hard to predict because of the combination of factors required to create it.
“Icy Antarctic blasts that have already hit most parts of Australia’s east coast early this winter are a portent of growers’ expectations for spring,” Mr Qin says.
Descartes, headquartered in Paris, has been writing parametric insurance globally since 2018. Its initial product was frost insurance for French wine producers.

As a result of historical land uses, large areas previously dominated by longleaf pine now support different forest types, especially on wetter, more productive sites, and active forest management is required to restore them. Restoring longleaf pine on poorly drained sites where there is no remaining natural seed source, and doing so without further losses of any remaining native herbaceous vegetation, is arguably one of the most difficult challenges to restoration ecologists.
The objectives of this project were to investigate (1) the effects of selected site preparation methods on ground layer vegetation and on longleaf pine establishment and early growth and (2) the persistent effects of past plantation establishment on the structure and composition of the ground layer vegetation on sites that historically supported longleaf pine.
A replicated field experiment was installed and data were collected from established plantations and compared to mostly undisturbed longleaf pine reference sites. All work was conducted on Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. A randomized block designed experiment with eight low- to moderate-intensity site preparation treatments used or likely to be used at Camp Lejeune was replicated on 5 blocks, for a total of 40 experimental units. Eight site preparation treatments were applied and consisted of a check (no treatment applied), six combinations of two initial vegetation control treatments (chopping or herbicide) with three planting site conditions (flat [no additional treatment], mounding, or bedding), and a more intense treatment of chopping, herbicide, and bedding. The treatments are referenced as follows: flat or check (F), chopping and flat (CF), herbicide and flat (HF), chopping and mounding (CM), herbicide and mounding (HM), chopping and bedding (CB), herbicide and bedding (HB), and chopping, herbicide, and bedding (CHB). Pine seedlings were monitored for survival and growth and ground layer vegetation and species richness were measured. Results of pine seedling growth were combined with existing longleaf pine growth models to investigate possible site preparation effects on the production of stand structure (longleaf pine size and stem density) suitable for red-cockaded woodpecker foraging. Additionally, plantation sites at least 18 years old were sampled using standardized methods and archived data was acquired for reference sites sampled in the same way. Species composition, environmental characteristics, and measure of species diversity were compared for these two groups.
Longleaf seedling survival, about 70% after 2 years, did not vary among site preparation treatments. In contrast, both the competition control method and planting site conditions showed treatment differences. Compared to chopping, herbicide treatments resulted in greater seedling root collar diameter and height. Similarly, raising the planting surface by bedding or mounding enhanced seedling growth relative to growth in flat-planted sites. Analysis of environmental conditions adjacent to individual seedlings indicated that the benefits were likely related to better control of competing vegetation associated with herbicide treatments, bedding, and mounding. Also, results indicated that excess moisture on poorly drained sites is an important limiting factor for root collar growth. Site preparation treatments that improve drainage, as well as reduce competition for light and other resources, can be expected to maximize longleaf pine seedling growth.
With respect to changes in ground layer vegetation, two main patterns emerged: (1) the effects of chemical application persisted through the study but effects of bedding or mounding diminished, and (2) the patterns of treatment effects on total vegetation abundance and to a lesser degree species richness tracked treatment effects on the woody component or the shrub functional group. Both of these observations are related to the facts that shrubs were the most abundant vegetation group on the sites and that the herbicide treatment formulated to control the shrubs was very effective. Overall, results were consistent with previous studies on flatwoods sites, including the finding that 3 years after site preparation there was no significant treatment effect on species richness and, except for two treatments (HB and HM), vegetation cover was not different from the flat planted plots. Measurement of prescribed fire behavior in the study plots 2 years after planting indicated that site preparation treatments can affect how much of the site burns, how hot the fires burn, and how much fuel remains after burning, all factors related to the effectiveness of prescribed fire for maintaining ground layer diversity. Bedding and mounding tended to reduce temperatures and percent of the area burned, while chopped sites had more uniformly distributed higher maximum temperatures.
Key messages to land managers include: (1) bedding or mounding as applied in this study should have no short-term adverse effect on ground layer vegetation cover, richness, or composition; (2) the herbicide formulation used in this study (imazapyr and triclopyr) broadcast before planting longleaf pine seedlings effectively reduced woody plant cover and had no lasting effects on other plant groups; (3) there was a tendency for all herbaceous groups to benefit from the herbicide effect of reducing the shrubby dominance, shrubs were not eliminated by this treatment, but herbaceous cover tended to increase by the third year after site preparation; (4) prescribed burning appears to be critical for maintaining any benefits to the herbaceous community, and prescriptions for management burns may have to be modified to ensure effective burning in site-prepared locations; and (5) although the plant community richness or abundance was not changed much by site preparation in the first 3 years after treatment, the beds and troughs produced by bedding are expected to persist throughout the age of the plantation and to change the microhabitats within the flatwoods by creating both drier and wetter than average conditions that are likely to favor different vegetation.
Models of plantation development based on seedling growth data and previously published longleaf pine growth models indicated that there can be substantial differences (>20 years) in the time needed to achieve the size and density of trees required for red-cockaded woodpecker foraging. On landscapes where foraging habitat is extremely limited, site preparation choices that promote early growth may be necessary, but managers must balance the negative effects of plantation management on the ground layer foraging habitat standard (40% herbaceous cover) that was not achieved in maturing plantations.
Plantations on average showed lower species richness measured at small spatial scales, but at the scale of 0.1 ha, species richness was not affected by plantation management. In plantations, no species were totally lost or added, but the relative abundance of some characteristic species (Aristida stricta and Gaylussacia dumosa) was significantly reduced in plantations. On average, plantation sites had about 20% herbaceous cover in the ground layer vegetation, about half of the standard established for red-cockaded woodpecker foraging habitat. Reference vegetation averaged 43% herbaceous cover overall. The lack of difference in species richness except at the smallest scales indicates that reasonably diverse communities are maintained in plantations and suggests the potential for restoring a diverse groundcover without adding species. However, a few dominant species apparently are sensitive to habitat modifications created during establishment and growth of plantations. Although thinning the canopy and prescribed burning may invigorate the groundcover, researchers predict that the effectiveness of prescribed burning may be limited by the lack of fine fuels resulting from the significantly reduced herbaceous cover in plantations.
Site preparation potentially may affect TER-S habitat management in the short-term by direct impacts on ground layer and prescribed fire behavior and over a longer time by accelerating the rate of plantation development with its associated loss of herbaceous cover in general and of fine fuel producing grasses specifically. Site preparation choices must balance the need to grow trees quickly with the possible adverse effects on fire behavior in particular. The successful establishment of longleaf pine stands that furnish habitat for TER-S on wet, poorly drained sites will give managers flexibility in simultaneously maintaining defense-oriented training and fulfilling stewardship responsibilities. | agronomy |

As one of the largest sellers of used heavy equipment, Ritchie Bros. has its finger on the pulse of multiple equipment industries – construction, transportation, and agriculture, just to name a few. Here’s a roundup of recent news from the farming sector.
Rising inflation not linked to grain prices
Industry experts are saying the rising prices of grain like corn and soybean are not impacting inflated food prices in grocery stores. As reported in the Western Producer, corn and soybean futures prices increased 70 to 80 percent between August 2020 and May 2021, as short crops decreased supply and the COVID pandemic increased demand for the commodities.
Consumer food trends set to shift says study
A research group called MotivBase has discovered three consumer interests – food miles, hydroponic vertical farms, and cultured meats – that they expect to gain traction in the coming years. The website agriculture.com is examining the trajectory of these consumer food trends.
Declining loan demand shows strength in ag sector
Agricultural production loan demand declined 6.7% during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a report in AgWeb Farm Journal. For 2020, total farm lending was $98.6 billion in the US, a slight decrease from 2019. Government payments also enabled producers to pay down existing loan balances, according to the report.
World Ag Expo slated to be live in 2022
The International Agri-Center showgrounds in Tulare, Calif., will be the site of the 2022 World Ag Expo. The event will be live, as opposed to the digital format of the 2021 show due to COVID-19. Farm Equipment has the full press release here.
Tractor sales continue to soar
A report from April shows tractor sales were up almost 23% year over year. According to a Tractor and Combine retail report, the tractor retail market is led by sales of units 40 horsepower and under.

And purple mountain spinach, to boot. Ort di Ras is located 1,500 m asl at the foot of the rocky cliffs of the Dolomites of Marebbe, and yields those and many more delicious vegetables. After years studying meteorology, George decided to create a project unique in nature: give life to a mountain vegetable garden by using select, organic seeds without any chemical additives. Like Mother Nature intended. The entire kitchen staff and our sommeliers went to visit him. We were swept away by his manners and approach to everything. George is a kind soul, hasn’t got a care in the world, and gladly showed us his three gardens explaining what he does here. The mountain breeze seems to do the vegetables a world of good, and the softspoken music blowing across the gardens is the perfect counterbalance to this contemporary farmer’s voice. He’s travelled the world and decided to come back to his home to take care of the land, giving it all he can. He uses nettles as fertilisers, and he only uses cow and chicken manure.
We wanted to see what George did up close, as our relationship started a good year ago. In our Casa we believe suppliers should become our trusted partners. If you happen to order a dish, dear guests, and taste some delicious aubergine, just know it’s not the result of intensive farming but the result of hard, patient work carried out by a man who came back home to protect his land. And we’re happy to share part of his harvest. | agronomy |

Klinotoksyl is an adsorbent mixture, the action of which is based on irreversible binding to the molecular structure of mycotoxins, which ensures the chemical reaction of restoration of toxins and their re-exposure to the body.
Klinotoksyl absorbs mycotoxins in grains and feeds, ensures optimal quality of feeds, improves their digestion by regulating the microflora of the digestive tract, which increases the productivity of animals and poultry. Restores the function of the liver. The advantage of the feed additive Klinotoksyl is that its components do not affect the development of intestinal microflora and allow you to maintain a normal composition during use.
Klinotoksyl reduces the amount of ammonia in the digestive organs and feces, which reduces aggression and agitation of animals (prevents cannibalism in animals and poultry). Due to its properties to absorb ammonia particles, the detoxifying function of the liver is enhanced, which leads to a decrease of somatic cells in cow’s milk.
Klinotoksyl binds heavy metals and harmful gases, regulates acidity. The adsorbent is a source of microelements for animals and poultry, increases the strength of the poultry egg shells. Natural aluminosilicates have good adsorption and ion-exchange properties. The specificity of their action is due to the structure of the aluminosilicate framework and the presence of micro-cavities and cavities in the crystal, which contain a complex of exchangeable cations and water molecules. Unique combination of aluminosilicates, selected from four quarries located in Germany, allows to achieve unique results in cattle breeding. The acidification of the aluminosilicates with organic acids results in the removal of metal cations from the surface (decationization) and conversion to the H+ form. By increasing the volume of internal canals Klinotoksyl effectively sorbs excess moisture in the body, gases, endotoxins, thereby effectively preventing diarrhoeal disease. Due to the presence of organic acids, desorption of bicarboxylic acid from the pores of the aluminosilicate into the stomach of the animal, while sorbing excessive moisture in the body, gases, endotoxins and degradation of toxic substances. Fumaric acid is a component of the tricarboxylic acid cycle or Krebs cycle, which is the main metabolic link corresponding to the main source of energy in chemical transformation. Therefore, even if poor quality feed is consumed, fumaric acid increases the nutritional value of the feed and ensures rapid digestion of these products in order to prevent intoxication of the body.
1 kg contains:
- fumaric acid
- acidum citricum
- succinic acid
Usage and Dosage
Klinotoksyl has the advantage of the absence of contraindications to the use of milk and meat when using the adsorbent.
Klinotoksyl used for farm animals and poultry for the prevention and treatment of acute and chronic myco-, bacterio- and phytotoxicosis accompanied by diarrhoeal disease (especially among growing stock), in the complex treatment of liver cirrhosis, renal-liver failure, hemorrhagic syndrome, immunosuppression, breeding disorders (spermatogenesis, changes in the tissues of reproductive organs, frequent abortions, etc.). Adsorbent is recommended before routine vaccination and dehelminthization, during fattening animals with feed that may be contaminated with mycotoxins, bacteriotoxins or phytotoxins, also in premises with insufficient ventilation.
Klinotoksyl is added to the feedstuffs by the method of multistage mixing:
- poultry – 0.5-1.5 kg/t feed;
- sows and boars – 1.0-3.0 kg/t feed;
- suckling piglets – 1.5-2.5 kg/t feed;
- weaned piglets – 1.5-3.0 kg/t feed;
- fattening pigs – 1.0-3.0 kg/t feed;
- cattle – 0.05-0.06 g/1 kg live weight.
Adsorbent is eliminated from the body of animals within 36 hours.
Livestock products after using the adsorbent can be used without restriction, the adsorbent is used together with feed according to the recommended scheme (Table 1).
|Animal species||Preventive dose||Therapeutic dose|
|Sows and boars||1 kg/t continuously with feed||2-3 kg/t of complete feed for 5 days,
then a preventive dose
|Suckling piglets||1.5 – 1.7 kg/t until weaning||2 – 2.5 kg/t 5 days|
|Weaned piglets||1.5 – 2*kg/t continuously with feed||3 days before weaning and
5-7 days after weaning
2-3 kg/t of complete feed
|Fattening pigs||1-2 kg/t continuously with feed||2-3 kg/t feed 5-7 days|
|Cattle||0.05 g/1 kg live weight||0.06 g/1 kg live weight|
|Poultry||1 kg/t continuously with feed||up to 3 kg/t 5 days
then a preventive dose
Precautions for use
All work with the preparation should be carried out in accordance with generally accepted sanitation and hygiene standards.
Dry, dark, ventilated premise at a temperature of 0 °С to 25 °C. | agronomy |

Agricultural commodities are products which are raised on farms or plantations. The majority of agriculture such as grains, livestocks and dairy are a source of food for people and animals.
However, some agricultural commodities are used just for industrial reasons. For example, the building and furniture industries use different parts of trees to produce their final products.
Also, the clothing industry uses agriculture like wool from sheep. Lanolin is used in the production of skin and hair care products. Some agricultural commodities are used both for food and industrial purposes.
MAIN AGRICULTURE COMMODITIES
Since wheat, as many other commodities, is priced in US dollars, the performance of this currency plays a crucial role in the wheat price. Wheat has many advantages when it comes to growing, it doesn’t require much water or labor. So, it is grown in developing countries also.
Coffee is a soft commodity and it is considered as the most sold commodity in the world. There are two main types of coffee: Arabica and Robusta. All the parties included in the chain of coffee growing, roasting, packing and manufacturing are influenced by the supply and demand for coffee. The outside factors which influence coffee supply are: geopolitics factors, climate changes, transportation fees or restrictions, oil prices and health issues. Top 6 coffee producing countries are:
• Brazil – 2,595,000 Metric Tons per Year
• Vietnam – 1,650,000 Metric Tons per Year
• Colombia – 810,000Metric Tons per Year
• Indonesia – 660,000 Metric Tons per Year
• Ethiopia – 384,000 Metric Tons per Year
• Honduras – 348,000 Metric Tons per Year
Wheat is one of the most important food crops, grown on every continent except Antarctica. Depending on the location where the wheat is growing, it has different specifications, growing conditions and selling prices. Wheat’s price is highly correlated with corn price, because it is often used as a substitution of wheat. Supply and demand, US dollar stability, weather conditions, the production of its substitutes are the major factors which influence wheat price. Top 6 wheat producing countries are:
• China – 126 million Annual Production (tons)
• India – 95 million Annual Production (tons)
• Russia – 60 million Annual Production (tons)
• USA – 55 million Annual Production (tons)
• France – 39 million Annual Production (tons)
• Canada – 29 million Annual Production (tons) | agronomy |

This year we're having a great finish to the season, with some of the best drying conditions ever seen.
While this means less time spent dehydrating, it's a great opportunity for growers to get together and discuss their dehydration systems.
All dried grape growers are invited to attend a block walk next week in Merbein, where we will look at some dehydration systems and share information about what works best. A barbecue will be held after the session.
The date for the session is Wednesday April 18 2018 at 5.30pm at Tony Martin’s property – 229 Main Avenue, Merbein | agronomy |

With spring in full swing, summer just around the corner and the Chelsea Flower Show just passed, gardening season has well and truly started.
In order to have a lovely looking garden throughout summer, you need to be fairly organised and willing to spend a chunk of your free time in maintaining it. For those who would rather spend their time off in a chair admiring their garden than working in it, here are some of the latest innovations that will help to get your garden looking its best, without too much hard work.
If you’re lucky enough to have a lawn, but hate cutting it, you should definitely invest in a robotic lawn mower! Gone are the days of an aching back as these mowers automatically keep your lawn looking spic and span, before parking themselves away in a designated area. They operate autonomously, but can be controlled or activated through a smart phone. Be warned, they do come with a rather hefty price tag, so if you really hate mowing the lawn, you might want to consider cancelling your summer holiday to foot the bill.
Recommended by Alan Titchmarsh himself, Robomow has a large selection of mowers
In this country, we’re used to getting lot of rain over the summer, so watering plants isn’t as much of a concern for us as it is for other parts of the world. However, if you happen to live in a micro climate, or we have a rare dry summer, you might be interested in Droplets Robotic Sprinkler. Droplet is a smart sprinkler system that combines the latest technology in robotics, cloud computing and connected services. It claims to keep your plants healthy without wasting water by drawing upon a vast system of data to intelligently determine how best to care for your plants.
Available to buy on Amazon
If you’re new to gardening, or you’ve recently moved into a new property, the Garden Plan Pro iPad app is for you. It’s main purpose is to help you design your garden through its handy drawing tool that has an extensive database of plants, herbs, fruit and veg, and helps you plan the perfect garden layout and track progress. It then sends you email reminders twice a month telling you what needs to be done, and how, based on your individual plans. On top of this, the app takes data from more than 6,500 weather stations in 20 countries in order to adapt to your climate and give recommended planting and harvesting dates for your area.
The app is free to download from the App Store
If you’re terrible at remembering to water your potted plants both inside and outside, Parrot Flower Powers wireless plant monitor is here to help. This handy gadget simply goes into one of your plant pots and lets you know when they need attention. As well as water, the device also monitors and alerts you to the levels of sunlight, temperature and fertiliser so you have no excuses for unhealthy plants!

There are significant stresses on water-supplies throughout much of England south of the Humber Estuary, particularly in the relatively dry and highly populated areas to the East of the country and around London.
These stresses are predicted to intensify over coming decades, as population growth increases demand, and anticipated changes to rainfall patterns causing a greater incidence of winter floods and summer droughts.
This is well-illustrated by Environment Agency projections of deteriorating growing conditions for the agricultural sector.
Twin benefits of rainwater harvesting …
Progressive adoption of rainwater harvesting systems in new-build and renovated homes, and in existing and new-build commercial premises, helps to offset the increasing flood risks by storing some rainfall on-site, rather than letting it flow down-stream.
Typically domestic systems are likely to reduce mains-water consumption by around 40%, rising to potentially more than 80% in commercial premises, thus substantially reducing the demand for increasingly scarce mains-water. | agronomy |
