Feb. 10 (Bloomberg) — India’s government rejected the nation’s first genetically modified food after protests by farmers, hampering the expansion of seed makers including Monsanto Co. in the world’s second-most populous nation.
“There is no overriding food security argument for Bt brinjal,” or genetically modified eggplant, Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh said at a press conference in the capital, New Delhi, yesterday. “Our objective is to restore public confidence and trust in Bt brinjal.” A moratorium will be imposed until safety studies are carried out “to the satisfaction of the scientific community,” he said.
Ramesh, 55, had to balance the technology’s promise to help feed a nation growing by 18 million people a year, more than the population of the Netherlands, and concern that food safety and threats to biodiversity haven’t been investigated. Monsanto, the world’s largest seed maker, supplied the gene for the vegetable and introduced genetically modified cotton in India in 2002.
“This will delay the government’s plan to tackle food security,” said M. Khadi Basavaraj, dean at the University of Agricultural Science in the southern city of Dharwad, who advised an independent panel which passed transgenic brinjal as safe in October. “It now feels there were not enough tests to prove it’s safe. The government has taken the right decision.”
To gauge the nation’s mood, Ramesh held seven public meetings in major cities. “I cannot ignore public opinion and I can’t ignore science,” the minister said after four hours of debate with farmers, scientists and environmental activists in Bangalore on Feb. 6.
The brinjal, or aubergine, had been genetically modified by the Maharashtra Hybrid Seed Company Ltd., known as Mahyco, in which St. Louis-based Monsanto has a 26 percent stake. Shares of Monsanto India Ltd. fell as much as 7.5 percent today in Mumbai, and traded down 4.3 percent at 10.12 a.m.
A gene known as cry1Ac from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis, or Bt, and sourced from Monsanto has been introduced to help it fend off common borer pests.
Monsanto spokesman Christopher Samuel yesterday referred calls to the Mumbai-based seed maker. Maharashtra Hybrid said in a statement it respected Ramesh’s decision and will follow the government’s directives. “Mahyco is confident that sound science based on evidence obtained over nine years of rigorous testing will prevail,” the company said.
Brinjal is a staple that India also exports to the U.K., France, Germany, Hong Kong, and Canada, according to the National Horticulture Board.
“While we feel relieved that Bt Brinjal will not be on our plates right away we feel that we also lost a chance to change the paradigm of agriculture in this country,” Rajesh Krishnan, who campaigns against genetic engineering for pressure group Greenpeace said in an interview from Bangalore.
India’s farm ministry wants GM technology to be part of efforts to raise production of staple foods, following the success of transgenic cotton introduced in 2002.
GM cotton, including that of Monsanto’s Bollgard varieties, now accounts for 80 percent of planting and had doubled yields by 2008. India moved from a net importer to the world’s No. 2 producer and exporter.
The success of Bt cotton shows Indian farmers “are not opposed to new technologies,” M.K. Sharma, Maharashtra Hybrid’s general manager, said in Feb. 3 interview.
With existing varieties of brinjal, Indian farmers have to spray pesticide on as many as 80 days in the six-month crop cycle, Sharma, said in Mumbai. Larvae that bore into plants wipe out as much as 70 percent of yield, he said.
“Alongside these losses, there is also the problem of health risks as farmers use pesticides without precautions or masks,” said Sharma.
Farm Secretary T. Nanda Kumar said before the announcement that GM is just one technology that India can apply to increase food security. “It could be the technology of better seeds, it could be the technology of using less water,” he said in interview in New Delhi. “Ultimately it’s going to be combination of all these.”
GM plants “are studied much more extensively than any other plant product in the world, and provide equal or greater assurance of safety,” Gyanendra Shukla, Monsanto’s India director, said in a statement before the decision.
While the U.S. and Canada have grown genetically modified crops like corn and soybean for years, resistance remains strong in Europe, where some countries rejected the use of crops changed to increase resistance to drought, pests or specific herbicides. Germany’s BASF SE has had a GM starch potato stuck in the European Union’s approval process for 14 years.
By 2015 there may be 120 different “transgenic events” in commercial crops worldwide, from 30 in 2008, said a report by the European Commission’s Seville, Spain-based Institute for Prospective Technological Studies. As many as 33 may be developed in India, the report said.
While 456 million Indians live on less than $1.25 a day, according to a 2008 World Bank report, as a nation they are eating more than ever. Twenty Indian cities are projected to see household income grow 10 percent annually up to 2016, New Delhi’s National Council of Applied Economic Research said.
Whether India can meet demand for food worries Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. There’s a “false sense of security” that availability of food has ceased to be a concern for the South Asian nation, he said on Feb. 1.
Rising food costs accounted for 80 percent of December’s inflation when wholesale prices rose an annual 7.3 percent, the fastest pace since November 2008, after the weakest monsoon rains since 1972 pushed up prices.

It has been used for paper, textiles, building, and cordage for thousands of years. The Columbia History of the World states that the oldest relic of human industry is a scrap of hemp fabric dating back to approximately 8,000 BC.
So what exactly is hemp, and how is it different from the psychoactive form of cannabis that we consume medicinally and recreationally?
There are many different varieties of the cannabis plant. Hemp, also called industrial hemp, refers to the non-psychoactive (less than 1% THC) varieties of Cannabis Sativa. Both hemp and marijuana come from the same cannabis species, but are genetically distinct and are further distinguished by use, chemical makeup, and cultivation methods.
Hemp can be grown as a renewable source for raw materials that can be incorporated into thousands of products. Its seeds and flowers are used in health foods, organic body care, and other nutraceuticals.
The fibers and stalks are used in hemp clothing, construction materials, paper, biofuel, plastic composites, and more.
Hemp is an attractive rotation crop for farmers. As it grows, hemp breathes in CO2, detoxifies the soil, and prevents soil erosion. What’s left after harvest breaks down into the soil, providing valuable nutrients. Hemp requires much less water to grow, and no pesticides, so it is much more environmentally-friendly than traditional crops.
Hemp is the Answer to EVERY Health, Environmental & Economic Issue the World Faces Today!

Experts attribute this phenomenon mainly to the lifelong consumption of a typical Mediterranean diet (fruits, vegetables, red wine, olive oil, marine products). Let’s take a closer look on the typical product of this area – olive tree. The largest producers of olives are currently Spain and Italy, which supply about 50% of the global harvest. For centuries, olive products (olive oil) have played the most important role in the development of the individual countries – these products served not only as food but were also used in medicine, religion, cosmetics and even sports.
There are many types of olive trees, their fruit is harvested either ripe or unripe – therefore in stores, we can find black or green olives. Olives are being prepared before consumption, because in the raw state, they are bitter and astringent. They are hence being immersed into saline, or being salted and marinated in olive oil.
The most famous product of the olive tree is of course oil – pitted fruit is crushed to a pulp from which the juice is obtained by pressing. This juice is then separated into water and oil in the centrifuge. The particular importance of olive oil lies in the content of imporant nutrients. Cold-pressed olive oil contains approximately 80% of unsaturated fatty acids – the most important of them being oleic acid (belongs to the category of omega-9 acids). About 12% to 15% are saturated fats and very small amount of free fatty acids, which are decisive sign of quality of olive oil. In a quality olive oil, we can also find lecithin, wide range of vitamins (E, A), minerals and phytochemical compounds.
How to recognize a quality olive oil?
The legislation defines several categories of olive oil:
- Extra virgin cold pressed – the best quality product is produced from the first pressing. Does not undergo any chemical treatment. Only this oil can be entitled as “extra virgin”. The content of free fatty acids should not exceed 1%.
- Virgin olive oil – a lower quality alternative to the former category, obtained from olives by mechanical pushing and pressing without the use of other technologies or chemical additives. The content of free fatty acids ranges from 1% to 2%.
- Refined olive oil – obtained by pressing at high pressure and heat, then goes through a chemical treatment.
- Olive oil – a mixture of virgin (25%) and refined oil.
- Grape olive oil – made from the last pressing of olive skins and pips. It’s the residual oil of worst quality, which is mainly used for technical purposes.
Olive oil is valued not only for it’s taste properties, but primarily for the substances that may significantly affect our health. There is evidence that regular consumption of unsaturated fatty acids (in this case oleic acid) reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases and may even prevent tumor diseases. In addition, not only that olive oil contains no cholesterol, but the omega-9 fatty acids interestingly reduce the LDL cholesterol too. A significant content of antioxidants (mostly vitamin E) supports the effects of fatty acids, increases vitality and overall antioxidant capacity of our body. For young and adolescents, the regular consumption of olive oil may positively affect growth and bone development.
The extra virgin olive oil also contains various phytochemicals that have been demonstrated to contain a high antioxidant effect (mainly because phenolic compounds), which means positive effect on tumors (skin, breast, lung or colon).
Olive oil nutrition
Olive oil has a wide and diverse range of applicatioins – the most famous is in cold dishes (salads). Many people still believe that the thermal treatment of cold-pressed oils damages them. Decomposition point of extra virgin olive oil is in the range 180-210 °C (around 380 – 400 °F), so don’t be afraid to use it for hot dishes too. If you are not exceeding this temperatures, you will not damage the oil and will not destroy the vital nutrients (due to the fact that every quality olive oil is characterized by its aroma and flavor, which is caused by aromatic substances, these substances will gradually disappear during heat treatment, but the overall nutritional value will not decrease).
When selecting an olive oil, carefully read the label – there must be explicitly stated, what kind of oil it is (extra virgin, virgin, …), the content of monounsaturated (oleic acid) fatty acids should be higher than 71% (7-8% of polyunsaturated), the amount of saturated fats should not exceed 13%. The manufacturer is required to provide all this important information on the product label – if you don’t find it there, don’t buy the product.
The color of oil is a sign of its quality (depending on the color of fruits). If you see some “dirt” at the bottom of the bottle, it’s precipitated lecithins (which is not a sign of poor quality).
During the storage, protect the oil from direct sun and high temperatures – in optimal conditions, the extra virgin oil should last approximately 18 months. Because light reduces the quality of olive oil, it should be filled to dark, preferably green bottles.
And finally, one simple rule: in the case of olive oils, higher price usually does mean higher quality. | agronomy |

Higher Brazilian Ethanol Prices Stalls Domestic Demand In November
Brazilian hydrous fuel ethanol demand in November plunged 19% from October to 1.547 billion liters, only the second monthly decrease this year, National Petroleum Agency data showed Tuesday.
November's total was still 21% higher from the year-ago month, according to the ANP data.
This brings the cumulative consumption of hydrous fuel ethanol from January-November to 16.27 billion liters, up 40% compared to same period in 2014 and already surpassing the total demand seen last year by 4.66 billion liters.
Hydrous ethanol is used as a standalone biofuel (E100) in flex-fuel vehicles. To be competitive with gasoline in Brazil, the E100 price has to be at most, 70% of the gasoline price.
A recent domestic price surge has eroded the competitiveness of the biofuel against gasoline at the pumps.
In November, the price of hydrous ethanol at the pump in the six largest consuming states averaged 71% of the gasoline price, up from 67% in October, 64% in September and 68% in November 2014, the ANP data showed. The six states represent about 84% of national demand.
Domestic ethanol prices have surged recently for several reasons: a 6% increase in gasoline prices in late September; fewer offers on the spot market; with mills storing ethanol for the inter-crop period that starts in December; and heavy rain disrupting the sugarcane harvest.
Since late September, the Platts hydrous ethanol ex-mill Ribeirao Preto assessment has risen 20% from Real 1,560/cu m at the time to Real 1,960/cu m on Monday.
The Platts ex-mill hydrous assessment hit a record high of Real 2,000/cu m November 10. Between the start and the end of the Center-South Brazil harvest season, which runs from April 1 to December 21, ex-mill hydrous prices averaged Real 1,552/cu m, 11% higher than the year-ago period.
With higher ethanol prices in November the decline was in hydrous demand anticipated, according to Kingsman, the agricultural analysis unit of Platts. December however, is usually a month of higher consumption in Brazil due to the end-of-year holidays. Looking at the average over the past five years (2009-2014) a 10% increase was observed compared to the previous month.
If the 10% growth average is applied to the latest ANP data for November, that would mean we could see almost 1.55 billion liters in demand for December.
This would bring total demand in 2015 to 17.82 billion liters, an increase of 37% year on year and a new record for hydrous consumption in the country.
Although hydrous demand decreased in November, the gasoline C and consequently anhydrous ethanol consumption mixed at a 27% ratio also declined but a lower rate.
Anhydrous consumption in November reached 877 million liters, down 6% from previous month, but down 1% year on year even though at the time the blend mix was at 25%. Gasoline C consumption in November totaled 3.25 billion liters, down 6% from October and 8% year on year.
January-through-November anhydrous demand in Brazil totaled 9.86 billion liters, down 2% year on year, the ANP data show.

Our vineyards cover seven hectares and are mostly planted with typical Styrian white wine varieties. Location of the vineyards provide optimum exposure to the sun while our hands take care of the health and beauty of the vines. All the grapes are hand picked and with careful selection at the harvest we guarantee the best quality of the grapes for our wines. This uncompromised approach requires perfectly riped and healthy grapes, only this way individual varieties can show their potential and their particularities. In the winecellar, therefore, it is only to preserve what was hidden in the grapes. The fresh wines are matured in steel tanks, wines of special locations and special vintages mature in oak barrels or amphoras.
Not what is currently modern, but only the wines, we like to drink ourselves, find their way to the bottle. The bottles of our wines with its sophisticated design also reflect our interest in aesthetics .
Our wine values: no insecticides, no herbicides, no glyphosates, regional quality, minimal intervention! | agronomy |

The Complete Grape Growing System by Danie Wium is by far the best book I have ever read on growing grapes. Danie has a ‘grape farm’ and this is what she does for a living. It has 40 permanent workers and in its peak harvest season it hires another 30 workers. He knows grapes!
Danie’s book offers information about the best way to grow grapes that I have never read before. It even gives you information about the origin of the grapes!
There are many images to guide you. It is simply written for everyone to understand. So clear, that I now understand how to prune vines, that I just didn’t understand before!
Detailed information on the complete structure of the grape so there are no misunderstandings from ‘Canes’ to ‘Spurs’ to ‘water shoots’. There’s even a diagram of where to take cuttings from the vines. It includes ways to start your own grape cuttings to produce more vines, so you can start with a single vine if you like.
Danie includes detailed instructions on how to build fences or trellises and how to train vines to grow on them. There is no room for confusion about how to build a fence or trellis.
Watering the grapes is no longer a mystery because Danie makes it very clear what is needed. Danie finishes the book on pest and disease control. It offers some natural ways to get rid of pesky animals that eat grapes!
Danie closes her book with a way to contact him if she has questions, or reads something in the book she doesn’t understand, a little ‘tech support’ for grapes!
The book is true to its title, it is complete in every way. This is a book that is extremely valuable to me and it is the only book on grape growing that I have. I have searched for the best book I could find that would give me everything I need to know in order to successfully grow grapes in my backyard. Although I don’t want to own a grape farm, I want to grow my own grapes to eat fresh and make jelly. This book exceeds any expectation I was looking for.
I highly recommend this book, The Complete Grape Growing System, to anyone who wants to successfully grow grapes. | agronomy |

But it should be noted, it was probably the most rewarding. Here’s the video if you prefer content in that way:
These chickens mature in about 8 weeks, so this process is quite quick. I purchased 77 Color Yield chicks from Freedom Ranger Farms.
I also built a 10’x12′ chicken tractor to house my chickens for the 6 weeks they grew while in the woods/field to mature. I moved the “tractor” every other day or so to get them off their own poo and get them fresh forage to eat. I invested in a plucker (below) to help get feathers off, and I would recommend it for sure.
I vacuum sealed and froze 60 chickens after it was all said and done, and that should last me the year. I considered selling the chicken but don’t have the market at this time. My goal in this is to be more self-sufficient, and I knew I had no plans for be a vegetarian… so this was a skill I wanted to learn and experience first hand.
I discuss some of the other tools and techniques in the video, so check that out if you want to learn more. Thanks for being here! | agronomy |

I am learning how to not scare a herd of cattle. I walk by cows that are settled eating pasture grass and laying down, frequently. I could literally make them run! Now, I just stop and look at them and let them check me out and they usually stay where they are now.
I am looking forward to September and the energy of harvest is almost starting in our family. My brother-in-law is on his last year of farming and he is getting anxious to start the combines. The rains come off and on and is preventing harvest to take off. My husband is anxious to get out there and do his part on the grain cart.
September brings a season of new beginnings and start-ups!

Domesticated originally in the Near East, it has been cultivated since prehistoric times. After the harvest in the late spring, wheat was prepared for domestic use as flour by threshing, winnowing, parching, and grinding or milling. The finely ground flour was preferred for baking breads and cakes and was therefore a major dietary component (Exod 29:2; Lev 2:1). Wheat is less hardy than barley and is more susceptible to drought, frost, and poor soil conditions. Dependence on wheat as the staff of life often led to famine in times of environmental stress (Gen 43:1-2). In good years, however, production was so great that it was an item of export from Palestine. Solomon is said to have sent twenty thousand measures of wheat to Hiram of Tyre in payment for the cedars and cypress sent for the construction of the Temple and palace of Jerusalem (1Kgs 5:10-11).

Our partner farms provide us with premium specialty coffee beans and we like to share that happiness with others! Let us know if you are interested in becoming our partner, and getting specialty coffee beans for your own business.
Ebel Coffee sells green coffee beans from a Santa Barbara (Honduras) farm, Finca Jerusalén. They are one of the few in Honduras to cultivate premium specialty Geisha coffee beans in the forest, among other plants, flowers, trees, and wildlife, instead of isolating them to a single plantation.
HArvest: Cherry picking
Finca Jerusalén coffee is only harvested when it starts to turn a beautiful deep red color. All of the cherries are manually picked, which makes them perfect for later roasting. Our beans are gradually exposed to the sun, and acquire their sweet taste over the span of a number of months. The harvesting season takes place multiple times during a year because our farmers only want to pick the ripest cherries, for the sweetest experience in a cup.
Roasting takes place once a week to make sure our coffee is always fresh. We like medium or light roasts to maintain the richness and fruitiness of our coffee.
Roasting process . . .
We roast in the Northern Czech Republic. From the many coffee beans we roast on a weekly basis, our selection changes frequently. The selection may include coffees such as Ethiopia, Cameroun, Indonesia Java, Jamaica, Salvador, Honduras, Cuba, Brasil and many others.
Coffee tasting and quaLity control
Our partner farmer José Fracisco Cuellar Fajardo, from Finca Jerusalén, has been cultivating coffee for many years and he takes great pleasure in nurturing his coffee plantations. From the bush all the way to the cup, his farm produces specialty coffee beans and their taste truly illuminates any coffee shop. | agronomy |

Likewise, GIS applications have a huge significance in the agriculture industry, which is the backbone of the Indian economy. As we are in the digital era and every industry relies on technology, agriculture is the only industry lagging behind, which could be a serious problem in coming years. New forms of agriculture must be based on the latest technologies like GIS, as it can help in tackling major issues like climate change, the minimum scope of arable land expansion, dwindling water resources etc.
GIS applications along with other technologies can create a revolution in agriculture, which has already been proven for decades, yet there are many parts of our nation where traditional methods of agriculture are followed, which has been OK for a long time. To explain the significance of GIS applications in agriculture, we need to have basic information about this technology, and then we can understand how vital it is. You can take the help of a GIS application development company or platform to get the necessary information in detail.
- Role of GIS in agriculture:
The basic role of GIS in agriculture is to analyse the farming land and put that data into a map that can be utilised by farmers. Along with GIS and other technologies like remote sensing, GPS, etc., crop productivity is increased through precision farming as farmers have required information like crop position, soil type, topography, etc. as GIS tools take images through drones and satellites and visualise them on maps using various data capturing techniques. This helps farmers to make use of every acre of the farming land without damaging it. Over the past few years, GIS applications have increased as farmers prefer new ways of farming, i.e., digital farming, with the rise and advancements of technology. This created various opportunities in the GIS application development industry as developers wanted to contribute to building apps that help with precision farming.
Significance of GIS technology in agriculture applications :
Let us focus on a few applications which are built using GIS technology and others to help farmers produce more crop yield with less effort and less investment.
- Crop health monitoring applications:
It is very difficult to manually calculate the health of a crop, but GIS technology, along with remote sensing, came to the aid and solved this issue. Because applications built with these technologies assist farmers in focusing on crops that can reduce farm yield,This is possible as environmental conditions like humidity, air temperature, etc. across the fields are assessed using satellite images and the input information. Both are paired together through GIS tools, which improve precision farming. Building these applications is not easy, but more companies or businesses prefer experts and professionals from the GIS application development industry to build quality and effective apps.
- Insects, pest, and bugs control applications:
Insects, pests, bugs, etc. play a negative role in agriculture as they damage acres of farming land. Farmers use pesticides and other preventive measures to protect their farms, but there are many cases where crops are damaged. This is because it is impossible to identify every bug or pest with the human eye, and even farmers can be late to react. That is when technology can help farmers resolve this issue. One way to use technology effectively is to build applications using GIS and remote sensing, as it helps in identifying bugs before infestation. This is possible because plants react to an infestation when the temperature is high. These updates can be received on smartphones and farmers can take the necessary actions to ensure the crops or plants are free from insects, pests, etc.
- Land assessment and land use planning applications:
The major challenge in agriculture is to assess the perfect land to farm in today’s era as fertile land is shrinking and there is major construction of heavy buildings. The best way to tackle this challenge is to make use of GIS technology to assess the quality of land using various applications. Please use this Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach in GIS to effectively plan land usage.Many researchers use this approach and different features of GIS like soil fertility distribution, soil type, satellite data, climatic conditions, etc. for assessment of land sustainability, which can increase crop productivity. But most companies or organisations lack experience in this technology to implement this approach successfully. But they make smart decisions by tying up with some of the top and experienced GIS application development companies or platforms, as they will help in building apps to assess land sustainability with ease.
- Precision Farming:
It is a concept of improvising farming by increasing the crop yield in which the latest technologies are used to replace the traditional methodology of farming. In precision farming, the sensors play a role in collecting the data from the field. The best way to collect the data from satellites and sensors is to use GIS as it helps in shaping the collected data into viable information through data capturing techniques. This helps farmers interpret and manage the data easily. Along with GIS, the other important technologies are GPS, VRS, etc., which play a role in precision farming. This way, farmers can make informed decisions, which is good for crop yielding and productivity.
- Advantages of using GIS in Agriculture:
- Crop sown area estimation, a major factor of agriculture, becomes easy with GIS and remote sensing.
- Crop damage assessment becomes easy with the implementation of drone image analysis using GIS and its tools.
- GIS aids in the prediction of real-time risk assessment forecasts, which aids farmers and researchers in crop protection.This is done by NAT CAT(natural catastrophe) modelling.
To sum up, GIS plays a very crucial role in agriculture, and GIS application development experts or professionals are very important to guide in implementing GIS tools and features effectively to build applications that take agriculture to new standards.

A foot or two of unused space at the end of your garden? A patch of soil next to the sidewalk in front of your house? Pop in a handful of bush beans. With their deep green, tropical-looking foliage, these plants look like they belong in any ornamental planting. I keep an extra bag of bush bean seeds and regularly scatter them in the garden every couple of weeks during the spring and summer. Remember that they fix nitrogen in the soil, which nearby plants will use, so planting bush beans around the garden is not only a selfish thing to do; it can help your other plants as well.
Place them outdoors on a dry day or in a room with low humidity. In a few days, they should be dry enough to store. Store bean seeds in a cool, dry, dark place, preferably in a tight container. Some good bets for containers include lidded Mason jars, a double locking zipper bags, or a plastic food storage containers with a tight lids. ). For extra insurance against moisture, you can add small packs of silica gel (like the kind in vitamin containers), a teaspoon or two of powdered milk, or a few kernels of brown rice in your container.
Peas: Peas can provide a cool-season source of vegetables and seed protein. In most climates, you can grow peas in the springtime and often get a second crop in the fall. Wild peas are native to the Eastern Mediterranean, and archaeological evidence indicates they probably were domesticated in this region that includes Turkey, Syria, and Jordan. Peas are grown for their delicious young pea pods (Sugar Snap Peas, Snow Peas) or allowed to mature for shelling or dry peas. Sprouted peas and young pea shoots are enjoyable as well. | agronomy |

Abstract: Mohamed Ali collected the taxes on wheat in the years 1810, 1811 and 1812, and began trading in it. Then, in 1812, the Pasha monopolized the wheat that exceeded the consumption of its owners, and he did not let anyone sell anything of it to others, or transport it in boats, and took this crop. And he deducted its price from the taxes on the land for the following year (1813), then transferred it on his ships that he built and prepared for that, and from there to the ships of foreigners, where he sold the ardeb to them for a hundred piasters. Any quantities of them are sold to others.
Therefore, it was necessary to present a study on the problem of famine for several years during the rule of Muhammad Ali Pasha, with his application of the monopoly system on grain, and what measures he took to limit the spread of famine in the country by presenting a set of themes and answering their questions.

Stocking rate is a vital compromise between utilising the feed that’s grown and coping with the very significant year-to-year variation in rainfall and pasture production that many locations experience.
That may seem unachievable, but stocking rate has to be set somewhere. Knowing what stocking rate you actually have is always important as it enables comparison and informed adjustment. Looking across years, contrasting stocking rate and the productivity it yields with an assessment of the season can help guide changes in overall stocking rate policy.
Adjusting to achieve a sustainable stocking rate or carrying capacity is specific to the farm, its feed resources and what risks will be experienced or accepted. Carrying capacity can be optimised if there are tactics in place to quickly respond to threats or opportunities.
To be most useful, stocking rate should be seen as more than just a head count. This is because what we are really interested in is the need for feed, and livestock are not all the same, or the same all the time.
This is why stocking rate is usually measured in DSE’s (dry sheep equivalents), where the DSE simply provides us with a standard for energy requirement. In essence, we use stocking rate to describe the feed demand that we are running in total DSE. Or we might use DSE as an indication of what feed demand a pasture can supply: ‘This pasture will run 10 DSE per hectare’, for example.
A DSE does not necessarily equal one sheep, but specifically uses the feed requirement of a two-year-old 50 kg merino wether that is maintaining its weight, as a standard basis for comparison. Other livestock classes and breeds can be rated in terms of DSE and this enables an effective feed demand comparison to be made across years, enterprises, properties and regions.
DSE can be used in a couple of ways:
Both DSE calculations are valuable. You just need to be sure which one you’ve made to interpret your comparisons of stocking rates from season to season and year to year.
DSE is a handy way of measuring and comparing your feed demand.
Calculating your farm stocking rate
Farm stocking rate (DSE/ha) = number of stock of each class x DSE per head, all added up and the total divided by the number of hectares on the farm. | agronomy |

I’d love for you to join the conversation. Please share your thoughts in the comments section under each entry.
The first time I planted garlic was the same year that we built our raised beds. One of my high school teachers, the teacher who transitioned our school and community from typewriters to computers, and her well-respected city council member husband were generous to share a bounty of bulbs with locals who wanted to start their own garlic. I was enthused. We typically eat 10-40 cloves each week, so growing our own sounded perfect.
Bought soil won’t have the same nutrient quality as built soil. Bought soil can be packaged as many things, and for what it is, it’s great. But don’t buy a goose expecting a duck. Bought soil is a quick fix to get you started, but it is lacking nutrients that take time to build by amending and working the soil. Many crops including garlic need nutrient-dense soil in order to make a good harvest.
But you have to start somewhere, so we built the garden frames from materials we already had and filled them using the hugelkultur principle of compiling compostable biomass materials. We topped limbs and larger debris with top soil and compost we bought and added smaller, compostable materials such as dead leaves from our own yard along with a stingy amount of expensive, pelleted, organic fertilizer.
Within a week of planting the cloves in our new beds, fresh, green garlic shoots lined the sides, and I expected a good harvest based on that initial growth. After a few weeks of appeared to be stunted growth, I added more of the organic fertilizer.. After two more weeks of unsatisfactory growth, I added some commercial standard triple 13 fertilizer, the magic tonic of much commercially grown vegetation. Nearing time for harvest, I noticed that the blades on my garlic weren’t tall and thick but were somewhat flimsy. It just wasn’t growing like I wanted it to. After the blades died, I pulled up the smallest cloves I’ve ever seen.
A few months after my sad lack of harvest, my former teacher asked how my garlic did. I was so embarrassed to admit my failure. Her husband then gave me a short gardening lesson, informing me of how nutrient-needy garlic is.
Now I realize that I cannot take shortcuts to growing good garlic. These master gardeners shared their secret to success—having good built soil that they continually feed and amend.
I thought of this principle of built versus bought soil in growing relationships. The built being something that takes a lot of consistent effort over time and the bought being convenient, quick fix we often try in efforts to save a marriage, friendship, or other relationship. Often we want a quick turnaround, especially in new relationships. We think, “Well, I was nice to him, so now he should respect me.” We want to quickly build a relationship using materials we already have. Then we throw in some dirt we already own and venture to pour in something flashy fad that promises quick results. We may even add some expensive fertilizer like flashy cars or expensive vacations to ensure good results. Then when harvest time rolls around, we reap weak results. Our relationship hasn’t grown strong in unity and the ability to weather the storms of life.
Some of us continue adding fertilizer late in the season, desperately hoping for a harvest, but then one day we realize the frost killed the plants before any fruit was produced.
The guiding principle I taught as a parent and educator was, “Do what you should when you should how you should, and you’ll be happy with the result.” And depending on the individual and level of understanding, sometimes I would add, “why you should” after the how. I believe this is true for all of us in every aspect of life. There are right and wrong steps, and there is a right and wrong order to things, and there are right and wrong motivations for doing things.
Only the original Gardener can create the timetable from breaking ground to reaping harvest. Whether you plant garlic, pumpkins, or radishes, these all will take a certain number of days to grow. We can do a few things to jumpstart growth like heat lamps or seed blankets, but we have very little control over the length of time God ordained for each fruit to grow to its full potential.
Sometimes in a relationship we exhaust of making contributions to the soil and grow impatient for a harvest. We decide that the six months, six years, or six decades we have labored is more than enough for a harvest. Part of being human seems to be impatience in one way or another.
But some things take longer to grow. According to Penn State Extension, seeds “wake up” and germinate when conditions are right. They lie dormant until then. Instead of seeking God’s wisdom and love for the relationship, adding new amendments and working the relationship so it will breathe healthy, we often give up.
When my husband and I married, we envisioned a wonderful unity of our ministry work as a large part of our marriage. We both felt strongly led by God to minister together.
Even before our nuptials, things seem to start unraveling. A week or so before our wedding, I was in the hospital severely dehydrated and with a couple of infections. This seemed to start a new trend in my health that I kept trying to bolster despite continuing weakness.
My health and our ability to minister together unraveled. Confused and trying to make sense of the drastic contrast from our reality to what we envisioned, my husband started his own downward spiral.
After ten years of nonstop attacks on our marriage, we didn’t even discuss plans to minister together. At the time, we had no plans but trying to figure out how to navigate our individual lives. Ministering together was all but off our radars.
Feeling numb and abandoned, I began praying for my marriage, my husband, my feelings toward my husband, and for our purpose I remembered feeling led to. After many months of doing nothing but hanging on and praying for these things several times every day, something changed. I changed, he changed, and our relationship changed. We started getting closer than ever before. Our passion for one another and our passion to live our purpose together was not just smoldering but on fire completely.
After a few months of growing closer and thanking God for our rekindled romance, we realized that we needed to nurture the relationship for it to grow stronger and fully blossom. We had to fan the flames to keep the fire going. We added in some new priorities and practices. My husband made Friday night date nights a priority in his tight schedule. I studied up to be a good masseuse. Together we planned fun meals and played old board games. We made time for one another every day, no matter how busy or tired we were.
It wasn’t just the new habits that fanned the flames. It was the attitudes behind the habits. We took an honest look at our lives, remembering the vision God gave us, and recommitted to doing our part—something we didn’t quite fully grasp when we started this journey over twelve years ago. We had a long engagement, did pre-marital counseling, discussed our objectives, but then along the way in all the busyness and attacks on our marriage and purpose, we lost focus. We hadn’t prepared realistically against the attacks guaranteed to come our way.
Just as the healthy built soil that gives a good harvest isn’t left alone without additions and amendments, a healthy relationship isn’t left alone, either. It needs good things added in, it needs to be worked so it breathes, and it needs the weeds picked out. Sometimes we expect a good harvest in a relationship just because it has been a part of our life for so long. But a garden left untended only grows weeds. The same is true in relationships. Weeds deplete healthy soil of nutrients, and weeds in our relationships deplete our energy, desires, focus, and efforts so there isn’t anything left to nurture the relationship. We must continually work on our relationships, just like building soil for a productive garden.
I'm tired of running from God and am trying to learn to run to Him instead. | agronomy |

High energy value (oil content 48-50%, carbohydrate about 20%) – contains mostly unsaturated (50% mono and 30% poly) fats. These are the good fats, the ones that help to
Remove cholesterol from blood. One hundred grams of groundnut seed contributes 585
Calories. Why peanut is high energy food? Because it contains oil (Chemically Lipid). One gram of carbohydrate and protein can provide about 4 Kcal energy but one gram of oil/fat provides 9 Kcal energy. This is because oil molecule contains high proportion of Hydrogen in its molecular structure. Where as carbohydrate and protein has more oxygen content. This reduced form of molecule, when burns (oxidised) liberates more energy.
Peanut plant does not die after achieving reproductive phase.
Botanically, peanut is having indeterminate growth habit. In biology and botany, indeterminate growth is growth that is not terminated in contrast to determinate growth that stops once a genetically pre-determined structure has completely formed.
This means that the peanut plant is producing new leaves and stems at the same time that it is flowering, pegging and developing pods. Consequently, developing pods compete with vegetative components for carbohydrates and nutrients. Once a heavy pod-set has been established, the appearance of flowers is greatly reduced. Bloom About 30 days after emergence, peanut plants begin to produce flowers. Flower numbers will continue to increase until the plant reaches peak bloom at about 60 to 70 days after emergence, and then flower development will begin to decline. However, if nutrition and moisture id assured, plant keep producing new branches on which flowering and hence pod setting takes place.
Peanut is having dashing personality in establishing in new soil and environmental conditions.
As the peanut plant grows, the root develops very rapidly in comparison to the shoot. By 10 days after planting, root growth can reach 12 inches. By 60 days, roots can extend 35 to 40 inches deep. Roots grow at a rate of about 1 inch per day as long as soil moisture is adequate. This makes plant easy to aquire more nutrition from surroundings. The roots pf peanut is location of nitrogen fixation. Large amount of atmospheric nitrogen is converted into the form in which plant can utilize. This is peculiar characteristic because peanut has to store large amount of oil and protein which are high input demanding biochemicals. Peanut has powerfull desire to come out from soil crust after germination. The hypocotyl pushes the plumule upward causing "ground cracking." After emergence, the plumule is called a shoot and consists of a main stem and two cotyledonary lateral branches.
Peanut is NUTRITIONALLY at par with major dry fruits like cashew nut, almond and walnut. The proten quality, vitamin nd mineral content is comparable.
Peanut: ECONOMIALLY Oilseed crop (India).
Peanut is consumed for its oil content in India. It is one of the major source of edible oil in Indian market.
Legume is type of plant having capacity to use nitrogen from air and fix it in its system. Thereby needs less fertilizers. | agronomy |
https://halifaxlandscapingpros.ca/everything-you-need-to-know-about-mulch/ | 2023-12-02T14:42:05 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100427.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20231202140407-20231202170407-00363.warc.gz | 0.958373 | 1,428 | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-50__0__308145623 | en | What is Mulch?
Simply put, mulch is a layer of material that is applied to the surface of the soil, so that moisture can be retained, helping your grass grow even healthier than before. While the soil provides the necessary base and nutrients for your grass to grow thicker, healthier and more beautiful, it can’t do its job if there is no moisture in the soil. So, in order to retain that moisture in the soil, and make your grass healthier in the process, mulch is spread over the surface.
There are other added benefits to using mulch. It helps improve soil life and, depending on the type of mulch you use, the fertility of the soil. It also helps suppress weeds, deters pests, improves soil texture, and protects roots from extreme temperatures. If you’re using decorative mulch, then it will not only give an aesthetic feel to your garden but could also help in improving the life and quality of your garden.
Mulch is mainly divided into two different categories, organic mulch, and inorganic mulch. Organic mulch is made up of organic living material such as chopped leaves, straw, grass clippings, wood chips, shredded bark, sawdust, and pine needles. Because it is made up of organic matter, organic mulch decomposes and, as such, has a shorter life span compared to inorganic mulch. Therefore, you need to replace organic mulch with a lot more frequency than you would inorganic mulch.
The Different kinds of Mulch
However, organic mulch is worth the extra effort as it not only helps avoid weeds from germinating, it also saves on water as the moisture retained in the organic mulch can be used for the soil. Also, considering that organic mulch is made up of organic matter which decomposes directly on top of the soil, it helps improve soil fertility significantly.
Then there is inorganic mulch. Although it doesn’t improve the fertility of the soil like organic mulch, it does help retain moisture in the soil and prevents weeds from germinating. Made up of rock, plastic sheeting, landscape fabric and rubber, inorganic mulch doesn’t decompose, so you won’t have to replace it as often as organic mulch. Your garden will also look a lot more accessorized as you can choose to add gravel and other decorative rock fixtures. The initial cost of inorganic mulch is a lot more than organic mulch, but since you won’t be replacing it as often as organic mulch, the costs work out in the end.
There are some drawbacks to inorganic mulch. It doesn’t provide as much fertility to the soil as organic mulch and, if you’re using plastic, then you’re also harming the environment even more. Also, materials such as rock and plastic would retain heat from the sun, exposing your grass to increased temperatures for long periods of time. They also do not provide much protection in the winter and many homeowners have to sprinkle organic mulch over their inorganic one during the colder months.
How much does mulch cost?
A common question is how much does mulch cost, and the answer is never really that simple. In nutshell, the cost of mulch would depend on the type of mulch you want to get, the area that you have to cover, and the thickness of the layer of mulch you want to put on the soil. Organic mulch, on its own, would usually fall in the $60-$100 range. Wood chips are the cheapest, while hemlock mulch is the most expensive organic mulch in the market. The price of inorganic mulch would depend on the materials that are being used and their quality.
Labor costs for mulching are seasonal but usually fall in the $150-$300 per square yard range. Labor is cheapest usually in late fall or early winter as the business is slow during this time.
If you are interested in learning more about the expenses you might occur on your next project, check out our blog “Landscaping Costs” for more details.
However, if you are inexperienced and have never attempted mulch installation before, then just decide when you want to hire a professional so as to save money. Don’t attempt to mulch the yard yourself as you could end up doing it wrong and damage your lawn in the process. If you are looking for mulching services in Halifax, you should contact the Halifax Landscaping Pros.
How much mulch do I need?
This is a question that is best answered by a professional, hence the recommendation above to hire one. However, we’ve come up with a general guide which can give you an idea of how much mulch to use.
First and foremost, you need to decide the depth to which you want to mulch your lawn. There isn’t a standard depth as it depends on the type of mulch you are using. Sometimes a deep layer of inorganic mulch causes roots to suffocate and cause water to shed off the top layer of mulch, which means no water gets to the roots.
For finely textured mulch, like shredded hardwood or shredded forest mulch, a 2-inch depth would be sufficient. You can consider going to a 3-inch depth if your lawn has had time to firm its roots. For a coarse texture mulch such as pine bark nuggets, that allows more air and water movement, you can go as deep as 4 inches.
You need to note that mulch is always sold in the cubic yard and, therefore, you need to convert that area into a square yard to estimate the amount of mulch you’ll need. As a general rule of thumb, 1 cubic yard of mulch covers a 324 square foot area, allowing for a depth of one inch. So, for example, if your area is 648 square feet and you want a depth of 3 inches.

You can find local Landscaper designers on Google search by searching “Landscape Designers near me”, “Landscape Company near me”, “Landscape Design company near me”, and reading reviews on their business listings. Make sure and call around for general price estimates as the first place you call doesn’t always offer the best solution for you.

Sacramento’s breweries are find creative uses for spent beer grain
Sacramento’s boom in microbreweries has meant the boom of something else: spent beer grain. Mostly made up of barley, but also containing wheat, rye, rice, and corn, this beer byproduct is being turned into everything from dog biscuits and crackers to compost and animal feed.
The grain is processed before fermentation, so it’s not alcoholic. But because it’s wet, it spoils very quickly, especially during Sacramento’s scorching summers. And there’s now a lot of it: New Helvetia Brewing Company uses about 600 pounds of dry grain per batch of beer, which translates into about 1,000 pounds of spent beer grain. Track 7 Brewing Co. produces about 40,000 pounds of grain per week. As a result, breweries have to find creative uses for the grain.

"Joel Salatin: How to prepare for a future increasingly defined by localized food & energy"
an interview of Joel Salatin, a farmer who uses sustainable practices.
"...we live in strange days when Coca Cola, Twinkies and Coco Puffs are considered safe but raw milk, compost-grown tomatoes and Aunt Matilda's pickles are considered hazardous substances."
Joel Salatin states that modern farming methods that use unnatural methods contribute to human disease. Natural methods recyle plant nutrients into the soil. The soil is enriched without manufactured ferilizers which do not contain trace nutrients and which are not sustainable.
"... everything that we see is completely and utterly dependant on an unseen world of beings in the soil that never make it to the page of a business plan or a bank statement."
"We don't think about it in the shower in the morning when we are getting ready to go to work "Let's see, how are my activities today going to impact this soil web, this miraculous, mystical, awesome, unseen world that runs all the plants, all the animals, all the water cycle, all the nutrient cycling? What are my activities today going to do to that?"
Grass fed herbivores such as beef cattle, goats, and sheep can be part of a no-till system that enriches the soil, provides human nutrition, and is sustainable and ecologically sound.
Advocates buying locally produced food which encourages use of less energy and promotes a more sustainable system of food production and distribution.
Unsustainable practices will necessarily someday create disruptions that will force changes.
"... there are warning signs abundantly strewn about the landscape for anybody who cares to look. A lot of people are, that's the good news.
"And the other good news ... is that integrated approaches and integrated understandings of how these pieces fit together are well within our grasp."

Wheat contributions in agricultural & country GDP are impressive. Wheat is a major ingredient in foods such as bread, porridge, crackers, biscuits, Muesli, pancakes, pies, pastries, cakes, cookies, muffins, rolls, doughnuts, gravy, boza (a fermented beverage), and breakfast cereals (e.g., Wheaten, Cream of Wheat, Shredded Wheat, and Wheaties). If the raw wheat is broken into parts at the mill, as is usually done, the outer husk or bran can be used several ways.
Wheat is the most widely grown crop in the world. Wheat is one of the first domesticated food crops and has been the basic staple food of the major civilizations of Europe, West Asia and North Africa for last 8000 years. Approximately one sixth of the total arable land in the world is under wheat. It is most demanded food grain and its production leads all crops, including rice, maize and potatoes. Wheat, as a human food is prized for its taste and as source of calories, protein, and certain vitamins and minerals, is the world most important crop. Wheat is grown on about more than 300 million ha, larger than for any other crop, and world trade is greater than for all other crops combined.

Although we hire someone to till the soil and remake the beds, once that is completed it is up to us. Eileen does the hard labor of planting, mulching in the fall, weeding in the spring and pulling the garlic when its ready in July. Jane’s contribution is trimming the bulbs, drying the crop and storing the garlic.
Our goal is to provide the most natural, great tasting garlic available. To achieve that goal the natural rich soil of the Flathead Valley is mixed with compost made from the manure of local dairy farm cows. That’s it. No chemicals, no artificial additives.
Our heirloom garlic consists of both hard neck and soft neck varieties, and after the bulbs are planted we load the beds up with straw mulch from local farms. Crystal clear water from the Glacier National Park area 50 miles to the north east flows into Flathead Lake, the largest fresh water lake west of the Great Lakes. From the lake it is pumped up the hill to water the crop. It is pure liquid gold.

Rose petals are lovely made into a glycerite or added to a tea blend. Now is a great time to plant roses that will settle in for the season. The berries (or hips) full of vitamin C can be harvested in the fall.
Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.)
Soon we will have the delicate hawthorn flowers blooming in the northeast. Later in the season we can harvest the berries as well. Hawthorn supports cardiovascular functioning as well as the emotional heart. It is in the same botanical family, Rosaceae, as Rose.
Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca)
Motherwort is also an early spring riser. It is in the mint family and has a sturdy square stem with super sharp sepals that surround the flower. This plant is also called Lion-Hearted herb and reminds us to connect to our heart as a source of power and comfort. It can calm anxiety and heart palpitations related to stress. For new mothers it can be a wonderful postpartum plant ally.
Peachtree (Prunus persica)
Peach tree buds are sprouting and the leaves are a remedy to aid the heart with grief. Offering a subtle, lovely flavor, an infusion, glycerite or tincture can be made.
All these beautiful flowers, trees and plants are available for your heart space. Can you grow or wildcraft these or other plants to nurture yourself this growing season? These plants can be formulated together or added to other blends to support the heart energetically and physically.
Be well and happy planting! | agronomy |

Every plant produces auxins to root and to elongate the plant parts above the soil. Auxin molecules are transported from cell to cell throughout the plant body using the polar auxin transport system. This active transport system relies on energy supplied by the plant. Depending on the conditions, the plant can transport the auxin to the lower parts, the roots, or to the plant parts above the soil. The ratio auxin/cytokinin in the lower part of the stem determines if the plant should root.
Rhizopon products with idolylbutyric acid are used for vegetative propagation of ornamentals. The IBA product is added to the cutting to enhance the quality and quantity of the rooting.
Rhizopon supplies indolylbutyric acid products in two formulation types: powder and tablet.
RHIZOPON® AA and CHRYZO powder series
The cuttings are dipped into the ready-to-use, undiluted powder. Each powder has a fixed concentration. The properties of the formulation ensure that the active ingredient adheres firmly to the cuttings. By dipping the lower end of the cuttings into the powder, the indolylbutyric acid reaches the location where it is needed for the root formation. Dip the base of the cuttings 1 to 1.5 cm deep into the powder. Tap off the excess powder and place the cuttings in the cutting medium. Information on the right powder concentration for your crop can be found in the Rooting Guide.
RHIZOPON® AA TABLETS
A solution can be prepared with the RHIZOPON® AA TABLETS which can be applied to the cuttings in various ways. For many plants, the Rooting Guide on this website indicates which method and concentration are most suitable.
The registered application methods with the RHIZOPON® AA TABLETS are:
- The total immersion dipping method - This method is used especially for cuttings which are too small for the powder dipping method. The cuttings are completely immersed in the RHIZOPON® AA TABLETS solution for 5 seconds.
- The long soak method - Suitable for leafless winter cuttings, but also for cuttings with leaves such as the Cupressaceae species. The base (1 to 2 cm) of these cuttings is placed in a RHIZOPON® AA TABLETS solution for at least 12 hours.
Further information on the use of Rhizopon products, including the latest version of the Rooting Guide, can be found on this website. The suppliers of the products in UK are also listed on this site.

Chairman Caroline Havers said: "The African agriculture market remains an area of growth potential, with Mozambique having particularly strong prospects because of the eagerly anticipated establishment of a liquefied natural gas industry in the north of the country.
"As and when this industry gains sufficient development and production traction in Mozambique, it is expected to significantly change the economy of the entire country, which we believe will translate into consequential growth in our revenue potential.
"In the shorter term however, it must be acknowledged that the first six months of FY-2017 have been very challenging in our primary grain and beef markets in Mozambique.
"In the immediate future there is also a potentially significant agricultural risk arising from an outbreak of fall armyworm (in combination with the African armyworm) in the Sub-Saharan Africa region, which poses a risk to various staple food crops, including maize.
"The outbreak is moving in a general North to South trajectory, and to date the most affected countries have been Zimbabwe and Zambia; there have been no confirmed outbreaks in Mozambique.
"Regional Governments are implementing measures to control the infestation, and the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation is assisting in a region wide response to this risk.
"We are therefore optimistic that the effect of this outbreak will be mitigated to the maximum extent possible."

A coalition of Nebraska agricultural groups has announced it will no longer pursue a constitutional “right to farm” proposal in that state.
“We are united in our belief that protecting our members’ interests and the future of agriculture isn’t about a single ballot measure or initiative,” Steve Nelson, Nebraska Farm Bureau president, said in a news release.
He added that his organization would be working to ensure “high property tax burdens aren’t the reason families are pushed out of agriculture.”
Farmer Paul Muegge, a former state senator and co-chair of the Oklahoma Stewardship Council, applauded the Nebraska Farm Bureau for its decision to work in the interests of its members who are family farmers, rather than carry water for the corporate interests who want state questions like 777 to pass in agriculture-producing states.
“SQ 777 takes away the power of the legislature and municipal governments to regulate agricultural practices to protect water and other natural resources and individuals’ property rights,” Muegge said. “In this world of industrial agriculture, it is large corporations who will benefit from the unprecedented blank check that SQ 777 gives them, not generational farmers who have always protected water, land and livestock. I can understand why the corporations want to be free from scrutiny and regulation, but I cannot understand why Oklahoma should let them. Voters should not be fooled by this proposal.”
Numerous liberal organizations and individuals, including many farmers, are against State Question 777. Those opposing the proposal include Save the Illinois River, Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Civilized Tribes, Oklahoma Municipal League, League of Women Voters, Edmond City Council, Conservation Coalition of Oklahoma, Humane Society of the United States, Humane Society Legislative Fund, Bella Foundation, Oklahomans for Food, Farm and Family, Oklahoma Food Cooperative, Sierra Club, Oklahoma Welfare League, Oklahoma Alliance for Animals and Oklahoma Coalition of Animal Rescuers.
The proposed ballot question is as follows:
“This measure adds a new section of law to the State Constitution. It adds Section 38 to Article 2. It protects the rights of farmers and ranchers to engage in farming and ranching practices. It prohibits the Legislature from passing laws that would take away the right to employ agricultural technology and livestock production without a compelling state interest. It provides for interpretation of the section.”
The Oklahoma Stewardship Council is a coalition of family farmers, community leaders and citizens opposing State Question 777.
Oklahoma Agri-Women has officially announced its support for State Question 777, Oklahoma’s Right to Farm, a proposed amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution that will protect farming and ranching practices for farmers large and small across Oklahoma.
Oklahoma Agri-Women is a state affiliate of American Agri-Women, which is the nation’s largest coalition of farm, ranch and agribusiness women with more than 50 state, commodity and agribusiness affiliate organizations throughout the country.
“Our members are college students, wives, mothers, consumers and agricultural producers,” said Kristi Bishop, Oklahoma Agri-Women president. “We recognize the importance of passing SQ 777 to protect farmers, ranchers and consumers in our state. Passing SQ 777 will ensure that farmers and ranchers in Oklahoma can continue to provide safe, healthy and affordable food choices for all Oklahomans.”
The mission of Oklahoma Agri-Women is to unite women in all segments of the Oklahoma food, fiber and agriculture industry having mutual concerns; to keep Oklahoma Agri-Women members informed of legislation that is of concern to Oklahoma’s agriculture industry while remaining nonpartisan; and to educate consumers, elected officials and the general public about the importance of agriculture to Oklahoma’s economy and environment.
Oklahoma Agri-Women unites women’s agricultural organizations and individuals to communicate with one another and with other consumers to promote agriculture. It is a state affiliate of American Agri-Women, the nation’s largest coalition of farm, ranch and agribusiness women.
In Oklahoma, there are 80,000 farms and ranches, 98 percent of which are family owned and operated. Oklahoma’s farmers contribute more than $8 billion to the state’s economy and support tens of thousands of jobs. | agronomy |

Conversely, vegetation in lighter soil want watering continually. Keep in mind to area an organic and natural mulch on the floor, which will quit the area from baking in the summertime.
You ought to check out your gardening instruments on a typical basis to make positive that they are still in excellent condition. Sheers, pruners and garden mower blades all grow to be uninteresting soon after a lot of makes use of. You can simply sharpen the blades oneself or have a specialist sharpen them. By sharpening the blades you will not have to exchange the tools altogether.
It is essential to treat roses ahead of they are attracted by bugs. There are pesticides that you can buy at any backyard garden offer shop that need to get rid of or deter bugs from attacking your rose bushes. It is very best to handle the bushes just before there are any symptoms of a bug difficulty.
Do not get rid of weeds by pulling them. This takes you a whole lot of time and they may increase again. If you observe an area with a great deal of weeds, take a shovel and dig below it. Turn the soil more than so that the weeds feed your seeds like manure would.
If you have the space, developing a compost bin can be a wonderful way to preserve funds and constantly have compost at the ready. When planning your bin, think about a a few-sided bin rather than a four-sided bin. A three-sided bin allows you to easily accessibility the heap for standard turning with out achieving over a wall or making use of a gate.
Organic gardening indicates making an attempt to increase crops as by natural means as possible without the use of substances. So when the time comes to destroy damaging, plant-consuming bugs, try planting a handful of flowers in your vegetable yard. The flowers will attract advantageous bugs that by natural means destroy the hazardous types. These advantageous insects carry out other useful solutions like pollination as effectively as pest handle.
Try to get a excellent composition of healthy soil in your backyard garden. Healthy soil is typically more resistant to pests and other negative influences. How can you explain to when a soil is "healthful?" Generally a healthier soil consists of a very good mix of earth worms, helpful microbes, and a very good deal of mulch and compost on the surface spot.
When starting up your personal organic and natural yard, a excellent idea is to preserve your instruments as close to your backyard as you perhaps can. This will decrease the amount of trips you have to make to your get rid of. Consider putting on a resource belt or have a massive bucket with you when you are out in your garden.
Gardening, if carried out correctly, can help supplement you or your company. Whilst the vegetation may possibly not be human, they even now have life and should have to be properly-cared for. So, do yourself a favor and do your investigation, work difficult in the dirt, and have a bunch of endurance to assist increase and just take treatment of your garden. | agronomy |

Industrial hemp farming and production was once a source of economic vitality within the United States and across.the globe. This industry has been dormant for over 60 years, until now. Ryan whole heatedly believes that industrial hemp will save the American family farm. Industrial hemp will give the family farmer another option when choosing what crops to produce. Hemp is an extremely useful tool that farmer's can pull out of the toolbox and make an impact on the farm. Hemp will allow to farmers to further diversify the farm and increase annual revenues. The key word is "Less". less fertilizer, less water consumption, less chemical inputs and less competition. This in the end means MORE profit . One other thing that hemp brings to the farm that no other crop can bring is HOPE! Which in many cases on today's family farm hope has been an emotion form the past. "Hemp is the single most import crop I will see in my lifetime." Ryan Loflin
It is important to note that the hemp plant has a natural defense built in for combating insects. In a nutshell, this defense system comes from the chemical compounds THC and CBD and the many other cannabinoids. So little pesticides are needed. Organic fungicides, or herbicides and pesticides are available to help control insects, powder mildew and weeds. Hemp also uses much less water and fertilization then many other crops.
Working the same farm as my Grandfather.
Rocky Mountain Hemp's farming and ranching operations are located on the family farm in Springfield, CO that the Loflins have farmed for over 75 years. Ryan has tapped into the countless of benefits that the hemp plant has to offer and implemented this back on this historical farm. The world economy, and the population of the entire planet will reap the rewards of hemp farming.
Further Benefits of Hemp Farming
When used in crop rotation, hemp revitalizes the soil that it is grown in by releasing carbon dioxide, while introducing oxygen and the decomposing roots place organic matter into the soil. Crops almost always have increased yields when they follow an industrial hemp crop. Another very useful attribute of the hemp plant is the a healthy canopy. The hemp canopy grows so rapidly, there is less weed control necessary when farming hemp. The hemp root system also makes huge impact in the soil. The tap root can reach lengths over two feet long, this helps break up compacted soil. Then after the hemp crops are harvested, the root stays in the ground then breaks down over the winter introducing nutrients into the soil. | agronomy |

Bees and the Cheyenne Urban Environment
Terrance Booth, Cheyenne Honey LLC
U.S. honey bees are still dying at unacceptable rates. Indications are that is true also for our native bumblebees. For the year ending 31 March 2018, beekeepers reported 40% of their colonies died unexpectedly during the year (Project Apis m. survey). That’s up from 33% a year earlier and is double or more the 15 to 20% that beekeepers report as acceptable (i.e., economically sustainable). Many of these losses are from urban beekeepers such as we have in Cheyenne.
Two prominent problems for urban beekeepers are the lack of a continuous and abundant growing-season supply of nectars and high-protein pollens and, improper use of insecticides—primarily the neonicotinoids and pyrethroids—by area residents. The “high-protein” qualifier on pollen leaves out much of the abundant pollens from grasses, conifers, and other wind-pollinated species. Thus, pollen (percent protein in brackets) from junipers (9%) and pines (9 to 16%) are usually not collected by honey bees, especially if they have access to birch or maple (44%); oak, pear, or rose (38 to 44%), or other pollens with similar protein levels. Bee colonies with adequate nutrition are much more likely to survive the stresses of weather, disease, and other environmental challenges than are colonies weakened by inadequate diet. If you will be planting new trees and shrubs in Cheyenne, please consider it as an opportunity to enhance the foraging opportunities for our local pollinators. Fortunately, many of the trees that Rooted in Cheyenne will be planting this spring are good pollen sources for bees, including the American Linden, Littleleaf Linden, Norway maple, Russian hawthorne and flowering crabapple.
Neonicotinoids are the most widely used group of insecticides in the world. They were developed as alternatives to organophosphates and carbamates and are less toxic to vertebrates than these older insecticides. However, because neonicotinoids are systemics they are absorbed into plants and can have a long-lasting presence in sap, pollen, and nectar whether applied to the seed, the plant, or to the soil accessed by a growing plant. Citing the critical risk neonicotinoids pose to bee populations, the European Union banned their use in 2018.
Pyrethroids are insecticides derived from the Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium plant. Though a natural product, like castor beans and rattlesnakes, pyrethroids should to be handled with wisdom and care as it is toxic to mammals, fish, and insects—and is particularly toxic for honey and bumble bees (i.e., regardless of advertising implications to the contrary, “natural” doesn’t equal safe). As a contact insecticide it can be used at dawn or dusk when bees are less active. Experts favor using liquid formulations rather than dusts, and advise against spraying flowering plants any time if bees will be visiting.
Both chemicals are common in stores that carry pesticides. Homeowners can easily check for their presence by reading the front label on the bottle.
Besides nectar and pollen, plants also provide bees with resinous exudates that they use to make propolis—a caulking material used as a hive sealant. If the collected exudates contain insecticide the colony will be exposed to the toxic substance.
It is highly likely given the area a colony of bees may explore, that both neonicotinoids and pyrethroids will be encountered. The interaction of the two is double trouble for pollinators (see Pollinator Network @ Cornell). It should be noted that these insecticides may not kill outright, but may shorten the lives of the workers or cause disorientation so that the bees don’t return to the colony—or, field bees may return with toxic pollen which is then fed to the larvae whose loss can greatly weaken the colony as the older bees die off. Education is the key to reducing the unwise use of insecticides and sharing honey is a great way to open a conversation that might present educational opportunities. Notwithstanding the challenges presented by these insecticides and forage limitations, Cheyenne beekeepers can look forward to an improving situation through the educational efforts and community action of Rooted in Cheyenne. | agronomy |

Disc harrow is used to till the soil where crops are to be planted. It is also used to chop up unwanted weeds or crop remainders. The discs are also offset so that they are not parallel with the overall direction of the implement. This arrangement ensures that the discs will repeatedly slice any ground to which they are applied, in order to optimize the result. The concavity of the discs as well as their offset angle causes them to loosen and lift the soil that they cut.

Moringa is one of the most nutrient-dense plants on the planet. It contains 6 of the 7 essential minerals, as well as various vitamins, antioxidants, and amino acids- which is why it carries the name “Tree of life”! The synergetic functions and high bioavailability of all those nutrients make Moringa a superior alternative to synthetic multivitamin or mineral supplements. For our product we use only high-quality moringa powder from controlled organic cultivation in Sri Lanka. The Moringa trees are grown there on a small plantation near Colombo. The nutritious Moringa leaves are carefully harvested and dried before being gently ground into powder to keep all the precious phytonutrients intact.
In addition, we have our Moringa Tablets tested regularly by an independent laboratory for heavy metals, pesticides, and microbial contaminants. As always, we do not add any artificial additives like microcrystalline cellulose, which are commonly found in moringa supplements. Finally, we offer one of the highest dosed Moringa on the market: each tablet contains 1000 mg Moringa Powder!
- As a natural alternative to synthetic multivitamin supplements.
- For a natural energy boost.
- As a nutritious addition to shakes or smoothies.
- As an alternative to matcha or coffee in the morning.
GOOD TO KNOW
- We recommend taking the supplement in the morning because of its energising effect.
- Moringa trees grow very fast and need only little water. They grow up to six metres a year and produce up to 5,000 seeds.
- Moringa is a special plant as every part of it is suitable for human consumption. Nevertheless, the leaves are the most nutrient dense parts.
- In India, Moringa has been used as a medicinal plant for over 5000 years. Already the Vedas, the ancient Indian scriptures, mentioned Moringa.

Earlier, it was Handy Dandy Grocery (late 50’s to mid 60’s), Lil’ General Retailer (mid 60’s to early 70’s) and Bee Ridge Meats (early 70’s to mid-to-late 80’s). Fundamental preparation: Deglet Noor dates might have a bit of their thick stem present. Dates are a single of the oldest cultivated fruits in the world.
Plants grown from cuttings will fruit 2-3 years earlier than seedling plants. In addition to that nutrient content material (K and Ca) was discovered greater and reduce at diverse remedies in dates fruit. With no pollination, palm trees would not bear fruits,” Al Mansouri mentioned.
In the indoor nursery trade, two varieties of Phoenix palms are typically noticed: the pygmy date palm and the wild date palm. Adult female date palms produce from 5 – 20 spathes in early spring. Due to reputation of date fruits around the globe, individuals started to use also date syrup, which is created from grind dried dates.
Dried dates have double the amount of carbohydrates than fresh dates. 5116 – This utilised to be Café Raul Kurma Mariami Restaurant from late 1978 to about the late 90’s. Date palms and their fruit are extremely helpful. The most classical Phoenix species is Phoenix Canariensis, identified as the Canary Island Date Palm.

As a result, the Tamils had in the ancient days itself possessed intense expertise about the behavior of the plants and the fields and the require of human touch.
In: A. Zaid and E. J.

Honey dates are a soft, creamy-textured and sweet-tasting species. In order to have high good quality yield of date palm, it is extremely crucial to select suitable male palm for pollination due to the metaxenic effect of date palm pollen on fruit top quality & maturity (Swingle 1928). | agronomy |

In mid-July 2023, Russia pulled out of the Black Sea grain deal, which had allowed Ukraine to export grain via Turkey’s Bosphorus Strait to reach global markets.
This was significant, because developing countries rely on Ukrainian exports and its wheat stabilized global food prices, noted CNN:
“According to the European Commission, Ukraine accounts for 10% of the world wheat market, 15% of the corn market, and 13% of the barley market. It is also a key global player in the market of sunflower oil. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), an UN body, warned at the time (the deal was established) that as many as 47 million people could be pushed into ‘acute food insecurity’ because of the war.”
This was followed by a port attack this week (early August). Foreign Policy captured the severity of this move:
“Moscow dealt a devastating blow to global food supplies on Wednesday when Russian drones attacked Ukraine’s Izmail port along the Danube River. Nearly 40,000 metric tons of grain earmarked for Africa, China, and Israel were damaged, wrote Ukrainian Infrastructure Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov. Fires raged across the port’s facilities, and local officials have suspended operations indefinitely.”
This blog post will highlight insights generated by Windward’s Maritime AI™ platform, which can help quantify and contextualize the expected impact of these moves on the region, port congestion, and the global supply chain.
The Grain Deal Worked Well
First, let’s establish a data baseline. During 2021 and the early months of 2022 before the war (January 2021-February 2022), the average monthly number of cargo vessel port calls to the West Coast ports in Ukraine was 717. The monthly average number of port calls to the Danube ports was 131.
At the beginning of the war in March-July 2022, that monthly average decreased by 93% in the West Coast, with Russia aggression hampering those ports, while it increased by 240% in the Danube ports
Once the grain deal was signed in July 2022, port calls in both areas dramatically increased:
- The monthly average increased by 155% in the West Coast ports
- The monthly average increased by 85% in the Danube ports
Diving into the subclass details for the same timeframe shows that since the grain deal was signed, operations in the Danube ports increased by:
- 124% for bulk carriers
- 136% for container vessels
- 117% for general cargo vessels
These are obviously the main types of vessels carrying grain and the numbers are a clear indication of how beneficial the grain deal was for the area and how it helped keep global grain trade flowing.
What Has Happened to the Danube Ports?
Windward’s maritime insights show activity at the West Coast ports – Odessa, Ilichevsk, and Yuzhny – increased with the announcement on the grain deal in July 2022. It has been decreasing since the autumn months, amid fears the deal would collapse.
The two main Danube ports, Izmail and Reni, have proven adaptable to the changing landscape throughout the war and have stepped up to keep the grain trade flowing.
Izmail port had a monthly average of 43 port calls by cargo vessels during January 2021-February 2022. The monthly average increased to 93 in the first months of the war (March-July 2022), and again to 221 after the grain deal was signed – an increase of 414% from pre-war numbers!
Having this much traffic diverted to a smaller than average port definitely created port congestion and slowed the supply chain for grain:
Izmail port congestion (Source: Planet Labs)
After Izmail’s bombing, plus Ukraine’s subsequent threat to target shipping out of Russian ports, we can expect many vessels to be idling and awaiting instructions. Unfortunately, dire predictions about the world’s grain supply may be realized.
Unsurprisingly, insurance has become an issue. Before the recent port bombing, a cargo insurance facility providing cover for Ukraine grain shipments via a safe sea corridor was suspended following Russia’s withdrawal from the grain deal, some insurers withdrew coverage, and others significantly increased rates.

A mutual business agreement ceremony was held at the Jeollanam-do Office in Muan County, Jeollanam-do on Sept. 30 to enhance the status of the international agricultural fair, with Jeollanam-do Gov. Kim Young-rok and Genesis BBQ Chairman Yoon Hong-keun in attendance.
Through the agreement, Genesis BBQ will participate as a co-organizer of the international agricultural fair. During the event, BBQ plans to run a BBQ booth at the fair's venue and enrich the exhibition's visitors with a variety of food offerings.
In the future, BBQ national franchises and direct-run stores will help host the fair's success in many ways, posting posters on international agricultural fairs and promoting them to customers who use them. It will also contribute some of the proceeds from the booth operating during the fair for agricultural development.
Marking its fourth anniversary this year, the international agricultural fair has been reborn as an international event, with three previous hosting sessions in 2012, 2015 and 2017.
Various groups and companies from 33 countries participated in the past three sessions, recording about 518.1 billion won in promotional revenue and an average of 314.3 billion won in production inducements.
This year's fair will feature eco-friendly agriculture, cutting-edge agricultural technologies using smart farms and drones. It also plans to expand exchanges between producers and consumers for young farmers and launch local food campaigns to provide job creation opportunities.
"Farming is an industry that is the root of the nation's economy, and in particular, agriculture in Jeollanam-do boasts the best in Korea, both in size and quality," said Chairman Yoon. "BBQ will contribute to the economic development of Jeollanam-do and provide support for the development of domestic farming households through the joint initiative of this international agricultural fair." | agronomy |

There are many plants that root easily in water and some take days while others may take a month. A lot depends upon the season (spring is best when the days start to get longer and this stimulates the plants to grow). I cannot forget to mention that some plants just love to root in water too. There are several plants that easily root in water fast-
- Wandering Jew
- Purple Heart Plant
- Philodendron- the trailing philodendrons are the easiest
- most plants that have visible nodes (on their stems)
Here are some plants that are slower to grow roots and require a softwood cutting. It takes much longer for many softwood cuttings to root so be patient.
- Schefflera (I have successfully rooted)
- Hydrangea (I have successfully rooted)
- Forsythia (I have successfully rooted)
- in spring you can try your hand at most plants as long as you can tell what softwood (a green, newer growth stem)
I am going to explain what to look for and where to cut to get the best results. The plants do best about 3-6″ long depending upon the plant- the key is to cut the stem the length that looks healthy and full. What you will need to start-
- a vase or jar filled 3/4 of the way with water (click to see what water I use and why)
- clean sharp scissors or pruners
In the pictures you will that I cut just above a leaf or below visible nodes I find along the stem. These nodes will develop into roots in water or if placed on top of the soil too. Before cutting up your plant, look for any signs of nodes at the sections where the plant comes off the main trunk or where the leaves emerge. In vine or hanging plants these nodes are near the leaves where you can see the divisions on the stem.
Clean sharp scissors for trailing plants such Wandering Jew or Philodendron are all you need. However, for tougher stem cuttings you should use pruners to make a clean cut. Whatever plant you are rooting, do not let the stem cuttings sit out for more than a couple minutes. Try to immediately place the new cuttings in the vase as you are cutting them and removing the bottom leaves.
- Hint: you do not want leaves in the water or they will rot
There is nothing fancy you need to root plants in water. You do have to check the plants every few days to see how much water is evaporating from the vase or jar. Once I see roots emerging in the water I add a diluted mixture of fertilizer water. I wait until the jar is filled with roots before I transplant to my pots or containers in the garden.
There are many plants that need regular trimming to keep full and healthy such as Wandering Jew, Purple heart, and most of the trailing philodendrons. For my container gardening this year (and for this post) I went through and cut up a bunch of Wandering Jew and Purple Heart to use in my potted Arborvitae containers to trail out. Today I am going to take the chance and cut a few stems off my Schefflera plants that I have had for over 17 years because they have become quite leggy and out of control. These are sentimental to me so I will only do a couple off each plant to make sure I do not cause any shock to the plant (and to my emotions).
Now is the time to start rooting plants for spring time container gardening. For most of you May is when you start planting your annuals in baskets and containers so you have plenty of time to root many plants. If you do not have any to root now, I would go buy a small hanging basket from the store and start cuttings of your own. Happy gardening and thanks for stopping by!
Creating. Inspiring. Gardening without the rules!

Planting the bulbs meant clearing out the bed directly in front of the house, which I have done exactly…never.
Anyway, I raked up the soggy leaf litter under the holly bush and the overgrown roses, and look what I found! Daffodils!
I think they are daffodils, anyway, since I recall that there were a few randomly placed daffodils in that front bed the last two springs. If all of these sprouts flower, though, there will be many more daffodils here than there were last year. I guess they like it there.
At least there will be some flowers this spring. I’m not so convinced that our new bulbs are going to do well at all. Most of them had already sprouted by the time we got them. We planted them anyway of course, because, hi, free plants!
I also found some mint just starting to grow. I hear it is a weed around here, but I am loath to pull it out because I love all things mint. Mojito’s anyone?
And, speaking of culinary weeds. I also discovered yesterday just how much chive is growing in my front lawn. I reached down to pull up some “grass” growing through the mulch at the base of my hibiscus bush, and the chives came up bulbs and all.
I think there are least a few types of Allium growing in my grass because I can smell them when I mow the lawn, but I never realized just how many chives I had. Right now you can see them springing up everywhere since they are growing happily while the grass is still pretty much dormant.
And, the chives I actually planted last year are sprouting in their window box container. Surviving in that thing is no mean feat since it bakes in summer, floods in heavy rains and freezes solid in winter (unlike the ground around here). I hope it’s not too late to divide them. The soil in the box was frozen solid up until a few weeks ago, so I thought I had a bit more time. Wrong again. | agronomy |

The dam stores and provides sustainable water sources to meet the country’s irrigation demands and develop the agricultural sector in Jordan.
Built across the Zarqa River, the dam has made a significant contribution to agricultural development in the areas adjacent to the river. The stored water is regulated through gates that help manage irrigation and provide necessary water supply to plant large areas of uncultivated lands. The dam has also helped increase agricultural production and contributed to generating electricity.
The King Talal Dam is 92 meters high and 330 meters wide. It can discharge 86 million cubic meters of water annually, and can hold 55 million cubic meters of water. | agronomy |

Watch the Seeds Grow – roots, stalk & leaves!
This is a brilliant way to actually watch seeds sprout & grow roots. The pots are free as you can use empty plastic bottles &, apart from cutting the bottles to size, your child can do everything else with you.
WHAT YOU NEED:
- Runner bean, broad bean &/or pea seeds;
- Empty plastic bottles;
- Craft knife &/or scissors;
- Kitchen roll;
You need to decide how many ‘see-through’ planters you are making & will need 2 or 3 seeds for each.
Wash out then swill your empty plastic bottle with clean water
Taking great care use scissors or a craft knife & cut off the top third of the bottle.
The bottom part of the bottle makes your see-through planter – make as many as you want. We made 4 planters with 3 seeds to each.
HOW TO PLANT:
- Fill the planter with damp kitchen roll about ⅔ up.
- Place a seed between the planter’s side & the kitchen roll about half way up.
- Repeat this ensuring the seeds are well spaced in each planter to allow for growth. We put runner beans in 2 pots & peas in the other 2 pots.
- Make sure the kitchen roll is damp with just a very small amount of water in the bottom of the planter.
We put our planters in a window sill & topped up the water each day with Sophie’s help – it’s really important to keep the paper damp. Also it reminded her that ‘something’ was going on!
It will take a few days before the seeds start to germinate. Once the seeds start to sprout roots, stalks & leaves your child’s interest should really pick up. Sophie was fascinated.
Once the seedlings are growing well you can carefully plant them outside in large pots or straight into the garden if you wish (check it’s the right time of year – read the seed packet info.).
Check & water plants each day & talk about how much taller they are growing. Point out when the plants start to flower & the pods begin to grow.
When ready it will be great to pick the beans/peas. What could be better than to get your child to help prepare the beans/peas they’ve grown for cooking & then eating them with their dinner?
You could also …
We made pots from drink cartons by cutting the cartons in half & using the bottom part as the pot. After washing them thoroughly we made small holes in the bottom for drainage, filled with compost & planted pea/runner bean & sunflower seeds. They also grew really well & were all planted outside in the garden .
A quick & easy planting activity to set up & only a few days wait until the carrots start growing new greenery!
- Kitchen roll or cotton wool;
- Small plastic container or old saucer/dish
Cut the tops off a few fresh carrots (our carrots had been stored in the fridge, but the tops still grew!)
- With your little one place some wet kitchen roll or cotton wool into a small plastic container. Put the carrot tops in.
- Each day make sure to keep the paper/cotton wool moist, but don’t overfill.
- Wait a few days & you should see the tops begin to sprout & then grow taller
This is a fun & practical activity, if a little messy. It helps little ones to follow instructions, learn about plants’ needs & can give the additional sensory experiences of smell, touch & taste.
WHAT YOU NEED:
- Different herb plants – we used lavender, lime mint, oregano & marjoram from the local Garden Centre
- Larger/patio pots for transplanting separately or together to make a herb garden
- Suitable compost
- Trowel or similar to transfer compost. Sophie used her child-sized garden tools set (& insisted on using her gardening gloves despite them being way too big!)
- With your little one partially fill pots with compost (we also put some pieces of broken terracotta pot in the base to help with drainage before adding compost)
- Gently transfer each herb plant to the pot & fill around with more compost carefully pressing around plant so there are no gaps. Ensure pot is filled to 1 to 2 cm below the rim (don’t overfill) & that the plant is stable
- When finished water the plants well
If all goes to plan you can use some of the herbs in your little one’s meal e.g. we prepared a simple pizza after picking some of our herbs with Sophie. We gave the leaves a good wash, carefully chopped the leaves with a plastic knife & then added them to the topping. Yum!!!
What are you helping your little one to do?
- Begin to understand action & “doing” words
- Talk about what they can see when outside
- Begin to notice changes in things
- Know that I can use tools to do different things
Safety note: herbs, peas, beans etc. are obviously edible & safe for your child to help you grow, pick & eat. However we constantly reinforced with Sophie that she could only smell, touch or pick plants if we said it was okay. She was closely supervised all the time, particularly in the garden centre, where there were many ‘pretty’, but potentially hazardous plants. We also ensured she had her hands thoroughly washed after each planting activity. | agronomy |

I drink maybe a pot a day, and as a writer that probably means that I drink much less than other people do… but it’s still a lot. I have an addiction to coffee of sorts, and I’m OK with that, but recently I’ve started to look more into what it takes to grow this stuff. What I found was that it’s much more involved than I had imagined.
Now, I’ve been buying organic coffee for years. I buy organic everything because I don’t want to eat GMO products and eating organic is literally the only way to avoid them. Recently, I stumbled upon some coffee at the store that I had never used (named Javatopia), that carried the moniker “Bird Friendly”. My first instinct was to ask “What the hell does bird friendly mean?”
Well, here’s what it means.
Traditionally, coffee was grown as an understory crop. It was grown beneath a canopy of trees using sustainable growing/harvesting methods, and was part of a full “food forest” model. It was a self-replenishing cycle that basically allowed the coffee to grow itself. This older method created huge tracts of habitat for many different bird species, however it did not produce uniform crops. As the industry developed into an international sensation, big agricultural interests took over and changed the entire way coffee is produced. They cut down all the trees and converted these “shade grown” and “bird friendly” coffees into “sun grown” coffee plantations. They turned it into monoculture farming.
This monoculture in coffee farming has had the same overall negative effects that monoculture farming has had in all types of agriculture. It turns this once thriving habitat into a genetic wasteland– creating inferior crops and making the land unlivable for any of the birds that once thrived here. Companies like Javatopia are going back to that older way of farming, producing a much more complex product that is much better for the environment.
Who knew growing coffee was such an involved process? It’s just one more example of how we can all make better choices in our purchases. Often, these are choices that we would have never thought of until someone told us about them. | agronomy |

There are a lot of "back roads," all of which are unpaved gravel. We live on a gravel road off the main highway.
When it's hot and dry, dust gets kicked up when you drive down a gravel road. Harvest also creates dust. Combines stir up tons of it as they chop through the wheat and then spit chopped straw and chaff out the back end, having sifted the wheat from the chaff. | agronomy |

Last year was my first visit to the Nowakowski Sweet Corn Farm and although it has been a completely insane summer I could not and simply would not miss this yearly opportunity to stock my freezer with fresh sweet corn.
The Nowakowski’s great grand parents originally started in Mcloud, OK in 1948, built a barn in 1951, and were officially established at their current location in 1962. In 1978 they began experimenting with different corn varieties in their garden until they found a favored seed type.
Often called “The Sweet Corn Man”, Greg Nowakowski, is shown with his son Josh and his two grandsons. They help run the family farm from everything to sweet corn, wheat, soy bean, hay, and even a small patch of pumpkins and gords!
The Nowakowski’s own and rent more farm land then they can keep track of. It’s hard to believe that some of the land they have been renting for the past 67 years! Still to this day their “contract” remains the same… an honest word and a good handshake.
Harvested and sacked the day you pick it up, it doesn’t get any “fresher” than this! The Nowakowski’s enlist local helpers looking for extra firework money and avoiding summer boredom.
Even the tiniest of helpers have an important role to play.
And their guard dog, Gunther, well… he’s making sure the fan remains on. Yep, it’s still working!
So I’ve stocked up on my corn have you? I swear it’s the best corn I’ve had and growing up in the Midwest, I’ve had a lot of corn! If you are near OKC you’ll want to make a special visit VERY soon! It’s looking like they may only have enough corn to last until THIS Wednesday, and that is IF they do not sale out before then! So take the night off and enjoy a leisurely drive out into the country. For $10.00 a bag it’s definitely worth it AND the corn can be eaten right away or frozen for the winter.
Get the latest hours and location on the Nowakowski’s Sweet Corn by visiting them on facebook. And tell Tammy we said hello!

However, just adapting these common practices on your farm is not enough.
You also need to know how to change and alter then according to the different nutritional needs of your animals, the climate of your area and even the changes of livestock management technology. Take a look at the tips below to see some of the practices that you can follow in order to have a more efficient management.
A nutritional Diet
When you select feedstuffs, always make sure they are high in nutritional value. To make sure you only provide the best food, provide them with less human food and focus more on letting them graze pastures that are high in fibre content. A highly nutritional diet can keep your livestock safe and resistant to diseases and a diet rich in fibre will improve the overall nutrition ingestion. Good food will always allow your cattle provide a better production.
Choose the Right Supplements
Just giving your cattle the right food is not enough sometimes. In order to improve their health and allow the best production, you also need to provide them with the right supplements. Supplements are known to both to be good on the animal health and encourage their growth.
For example, red clover is known to encourage and improve the milk production and increase the apatite of the cattle. Tar brush is known for reducing the release of greenhouse gases. While a good nutritional diet can encourage a good production, adding supplements can take your production level a bit further.
Get in Touch with the New Technology
For better cattle management, you need to get in touch with the latest livestock management practices and trends. This means using the technology and new products that have come into the market to make management of livestock better.
This includes using livestock management software for tasks such as checking animal health or assessing their feed so you can have a better and more accurate evaluation. You can also try shop for cattle prods online, install a watering system for your pastures or purchase better health care equipment.
Take Precautions When Necessary
Certain precautions need to be taken in order to have a better livestock. For example, if you have animals that were imported from moderate climates, they are not resistant to certain climate conditions or parasites.
So, keep them in clean stalls where they are not prone to heat, humidity or ticks and other disease-causing agents. Imported cattle will also need to be given imported feed to suit their needs sometimes. Therefore, it is necessary that you know exactly what to feed and how to manage different breeds of animals.
The purpose of livestock farming is to ensure better production and as time goes it is also necessary to have an increased production. To achieve this, you need to adapt the right practices into your farm; ones that allow good management and care of your animals. | agronomy |

For years, he trained at the New England Culinary Institute and worked alongside top-notch chefs in the Boston area. After nearly eight years, he got back to his southern roots at the Capitol Hotel in Little Rock before landing in his current residence, Northwest Arkansas. Now he’s the executive chef of The Hive, a southern cuisine restaurant located in the 21c hotel in Bentonville. As an award-winning chef, he understands that commitment and nourishment are key ingredients in the THRIVE lifestyle, and this week he gave us some insight into how these factors affect his work in the kitchen.
Question No. 01: What is High South Cuisine?
A: High South embodies a group of local growers/producers that supply the community with food that has the uniqueness that this region provides. The soil the climate and the varieties of food grown here give it this specific personality. The chef’s role in this style adds another layer of dimension, by pulling inspiration from their experience as well as the more recent immigrants to the area we are able to evolve our style of cooking. Each chef has their own story to tell through the food but the foundation of that food is the ingredients and part of the story is our WHOLE community.
No. 02: How does your food fit within this new Culinary Technique?
I work directly with farmers to grow different vegetables or pig varieties to use. I have always been inspired by local immigrants from flavor combinations to cooking techniques. I want my menu to be a snapshot of food right now in the high south. Local, seasonal, creative, handled with finesse and care. I have a butcher plate to showcase the craft of charcuterie, with flavors inspire by our community. I am a huge fan of the vegetables that grow here and I celebrate them as well.
“We are surrounded by world-class businesses, museums and dining...trying to accompany that keeps us on our toes.”
No. 03: How is the Bentonville culinary scene going to be able to lead/participate in High South Cuisine?
We have talented chefs, a thriving farmers market and an incredibly supportive community. We are all working for a similar goal. I have never experienced this kind of positive energy and excitement for food and pride of place.
No. 04: Does the James Beard Foundation recognize this as a Culinary scene and are they a part of it?
I believe the James Beard Foundation has acknowledged that there is something very special happening in Bentonville. We have a great story to tell about American Cookery, geographically speaking, we ARE middle America. We are collectively pushing our philosophy on food in America from the inside out. The JBF has been very supportive of us as a community.
No. 05: One of the big themes of the THRIVE life is, “nourish.” Do you feel it’s important to keep that fresh, farm-to-table aspect when it comes to your cuisine?
Yes! I feel it is very important to develop and nourish relationships with growers and producers to get the food they have. In turn, I deliver a unique Arkansas culinary experience.
No. 06: And lastly, how do you THRIVE?
Cook, serve, listen, love and lead. Have passion in whatever you do, you will be happier and those around will be too!

This means that, in order to be able to make use of this official quality recognition, some very demanding quality levels and very strict controls must be achieved, which guarantees that all Denominations recognised at the European level achieve the same standards and quality levels, regardless of the country where this product is manufactured.
The Official Journal of the European Communities of December 29, 2001 enacted the 260/2001 Regulation, by which the European Commission granted the Salchichón de Vic and its Regulating Council the European distinction of Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), a reason by which the distinctive community mark that thus credits it is incorporated in its labelling.
As a consequence, the denomination “Llonganissa de Vic” or that of Salchichón de Vic remain protected, and only those companies which strictly observe the above mentioned Community Regulation can make use of it.
The protection in the use of the name Salchichón de Vic / “Llonganissa de Vic” is gathered at all levels. Thus, we find that, at the level of the autonomous region of Catalonia, the Official Journal of the Generalitat of Catalonia (DOGC) published, in June 5, 2000, the Order of the Agriculture, Cattle Raising, and Fishing, by which the PGI Salchichón de Vic was approved.
Subsequently, the Official Estate Bulletin (BOE) enacted, in April 17, 2001, the Order of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fishing and Food, by which the Regulation of the PGI Salchichón de Vic is ratified.
Finally, this process of recognition and protection of the product culminated with a first publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities (OJEC), in March 27, 2001, where the conditions of manufacturing of the product were gathered and, finally, in December 29, 2001, the Regulation 2601/2001 was enacted that granted this recognition and protection to the Salchichón de Vic in all the scope of the European Union, including this product among those that enjoy the consideration of Protected Geographical Indication within the scope of the European Union.
On the other hand, the Official Gazette of the Generalitat (DOGC), dated September 10, published the announcement announcing the request for modification of the Protected Geographical Indication of Llonganissa de Vic or Salchichón de Vic, and its updated single document. Later, on October 1, the Official State Gazette (BOE) published the announcement of modification of the IGP Salchichón de Vic.
In 2016, the Official Gazette of the Generalitat de Catalunya (DOGC) publishes, on February 25, Resolution ARP/415/2016, of February 9, which adopts the decision favorable to the request to modify the Geographic Indication Protected Salchichón de Vic and subsequently, the Official State Gazette (BOE) of April 14, publishes this announcement of the Dept. of Agriculture, Livestock, Fishing and Food of the Generalitat.
The Official Gazette of the European Union (DOUE) has published on February 27, 2018, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/287 of February 15, 2018, which approves a modification that is not of minor importance of the specifications of a name registered in the Register of Protected Denominations of Origin and Protected Geographical Indications [«Salchichón de Vic» / «Llonganissa de Vic» (PGI)].
In 2019, the Official Gazette of the Generalitat de Cataluña published, on May 24, Order ARP/105/2019, of May 20, which modifies the Regulation of the Protected Geographical Indication of Salchichón de Vic or Salchichón de Vic, approved by Order AAM / 311/2013. With this Order, the regulation that had to be amended was modified as a result of the modification of the terms and conditions that had to be published in 2018.
The Official Gazette of the Government of Catalonia of 29 July 2020 has published Resolution ARP/1851/2020, adopting a favourable decision on the request for minor amendments to the Salchichón de Vic Protected Geographical Indication.
Also, the Official Estate Bulletin (BOE), of 5 August, published the Notice from the Department of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Food of the Generalitat of Catalonia, publicising the Resolution adopting a favourable decision on the application for a minor amendment to the Protected Geographical Indication Salchichón de Vic.
On February 26, 2021, the modification of the logo of the PGI Salchichón de Vic was published in the DOUE, through the publication of the single document modified as a result of the approval of a minor modification in accordance with article 53, paragraph 2, second paragraph, of Regulation (EU) No. 1151/2012. | agronomy |

I want to lose (kill is too strong a word) all the grass–the messy, deep rooted (or is it rhizomed?) grass that relentless invades the berm I built next to the neighbor’s driveway in which I futilely planted lots and lots of plants (flowers or vegetable or fruit) year after year only to see them overtaken by the grass. Blue Flax. Purple Coneflower. Melons. Eggplant. Summer squash. Pumpkin. And eventually an entire row of earthy-scented lavender–all to no avail.
In any case. I want to get rid of all that relentless grass and plant an orchard. One plum. A pear. Maybe a nectarine. Possible a small apple, but only if I think I can devote the time to keep it pest free. And not one. Not two. But three peach trees. The idea is simple. I have a catalog recommended to me from Allred’s Orchards. After carefully getting rid of the pesky grass I want to amend the soil and prepare the ground (looking for something that is easy maintenance, will remain grass and weed free, and yet will be easy to tidy up after the inevitable fruit dropping), I want to plant an early peach. A mid-season peach. And a late season peach. Yep. Three peaches. Peaches for days. And as many fresh peaches as I can manage in one hot Utah summer.
The trick to orchards, or so I dream, is to manage the pruning so the trees do not get too big for their britches. Or the spraying (hopefully I could mostly get by with an appropriately timed dormant oil spray). And the proper picking.
I would also grow a small forest in my backyard. Or at least as much of one one can grow in the hot desert that is Utah. But I’d like to give it a go. Lush, green, breeze-rustled, shade-giving, trees.

Collect & Divide in August
|Divide your peonies in late summer/early fall.|
For example, August is a great time to divide certain perennials and collect seeds.
Spring is the best time to divide most perennials, but poppies, peonies, and iris have fleshy roots and are best divided in late summer. If the plant has had a weak flowering season and or has a dead center portion, it should be divided. Another sign is if the plant is spreading rapidly and beginning to invade other plants' growth areas.
To divide your plant, dig up the clump and use a sharp spade or knife to break it apart. Keep the divisions moist while you prepare new planting spots. Make sure the newly planted divisions are well-hydrated.
For seed collection, follow these steps:
-Identify the plants you will be collecting from and research their needs and habits.
-Collect the seeds before they are shed from the parent plant.
-Loosely tie a paper bag around seedheads to collect seeds as they are shed.
-Separate the seeds from other plant parts before putting them in storage.
-Store seeds in airtight containers in a cool location that will not freeze.
-DO NOT collect wild seeds. This will deplete the wild population. Collection of wild seeds is illegal for many plants.
Share the seeds or divisions of your favorite plants with friends and family! Enjoy the rest of the summer!

By knowing when the blueberry season is in Florida, you can ensure that you are getting the freshest and most flavorful berries.
- Evaluate the growing conditions: Florida blueberries thrive in acidic soil with good drainage and full sun exposure.

Factors such as weather patterns, rainfall, and temperature can greatly impact the quality and taste of the berries. Ensure that the blueberries you are considering have been grown in optimal conditions.
- Check for pesticides and organic certifications: Another factor to consider before indulging in Florida blueberries is the use of pesticides.

This way, you can enjoy the flavor that best suits your taste buds.
- Look for freshness and plumpness: When purchasing Florida blueberries, it is important to look for berries that are fresh and plump. Fresh berries will have a vibrant color and a firm texture. Avoid berries that appear dull or wrinkled, as this may indicate that they are past their prime. The plumpness of the berries is a good indication of juiciness and sweetness.
- Consider the source: Before indulging in Florida blueberries, consider the source from where you are purchasing them. Look for reputable growers or farmers markets known for their high-quality produce. Buying directly from local farmers can ensure that you are getting fresh, in-season berries that are picked at their peak flavor.
- Take storage and transport into account: It is important to consider how the blueberries will be stored and transported before indulging in them. Blueberries are delicate fruits that require careful handling to maintain their freshness. Ensure that proper storage and transportation methods have been employed to preserve the quality and taste of the berries.
- Consider the nutritional benefits: Blueberries are known for their numerous health benefits, including being rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber.

Tips for making the most of blueberry season in Florida
Blueberry season in Florida is typically from April to June, although it can vary slightly depending on the weather and the specific region. This is the time when you can savor nature’s sweetest treat and enjoy an abundance of fresh, juicy blueberries straight from the farm.
- Visit a local blueberry farm: One of the best ways to experience the blueberry season is to visit a local farm and pick your own blueberries. This not only allows you to enjoy the freshest berries but also supports local farmers. Many farms offer a family-friendly atmosphere and provide buckets for collecting the berries, making it a fun activity for everyone.
- Choose the ripest berries: When picking blueberries, look for berries that are firm and plump, with a deep blue or purple color. Avoid berries that are red or green, as they are not yet fully ripe. The ripest berries are the sweetest and most flavorful, so take your time and select only the best.
- Store them properly: To keep your blueberries fresh for longer, it’s important to store them properly. After picking or purchasing, transfer the berries to a covered container and keep them in the refrigerator. Avoid washing the berries until you’re ready to use them, as excess moisture can cause them to spoil more quickly.
- Enjoy them in a variety of ways: Blueberries are incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed in a variety of dishes. Whether you prefer them in smoothies, pies, pancakes, or simply fresh, there are countless ways to incorporate blueberries into your favorite recipes. You can also freeze any excess blueberries to enjoy them throughout the year.
- Support local businesses: While indulging in blueberries, don’t forget to support local businesses. Look for farmers markets or farm stands in your area that sell fresh blueberries. By purchasing from these local vendors, you not only get the freshest blueberries but also contribute to the local economy.
Making the most of blueberry season in Florida is a delicious and rewarding experience. Follow these tips to ensure you enjoy the best of what nature has to offer and have a fruitful blueberry season. So, grab your bucket, head to a local farm, and savor the sweet taste of these delightful berries straight from the source.

Grown in New Zealand
The barley grain is covered by a tough, protective hull or husk and has an outer seed coat that covers the bran layer, a large starchy endosperm, and an oil-containing germ. The hull and bran are removed by a process called pearling.
Barley is one of the oldest domesticated crops grown in prehistoric times. It is still the fourth-ranking cereal food crop in the world. It is grown for human food, as fodder for animals, and as a source of enzymes and carbohydrate for brewing.
Health and Barley:
Barley has been shown to lower cholesterol. It contains three compounds which may be responsible.
Barley is a rich source of beta-glucans which are associated with decreased cholesterol levels. Beta-glucans may achieve this by increasing thickness (viscosity) of intestinal contents.
The bran also contains tocotrienol, a form a vitamin E and is also rich in insoluble fibre, which may bind the cholesterol in the intestine and prevents its reabsorption.
Nutritional Information per cup, cooked (in grams):
Like all our products our barley is grown on farms certified by the N.Z. Biological Producers Council or equivalent overseas Organisations.
In try conditions it can be stored for years without loosing its high quality. | agronomy |

Aquaponics is the marriage of aquaculture (raising fish) and hydroponics (the soil-less growing of plants) that grows fish and plants together in one integrated system. The fish waste provides an organic food source for the growing plants and the plants provide a natural filter for the water the fish live in.
Breakdown of the Aquaponics Cycle
Granger Plastics Company was integral in the rotomolding design and implementation of a custom rotationally molded Aquaponics System. This system, consisting of a grow bed, a fish tank is the perfect first time Aquaponics enthusiast or the long term aquaponics expert. When coupled with the steel grow bed stand with casters for a neat but flexible arrangement that allows an indoor or outdoor aquaponics experience.
Rotational Molding and polyethylene is a safe and perfect durable option for the molded construction of the aquaponics sets. Offered in Granite stone-like finishes, the systems are beautiful enough to complement indoor decor while capable of withstanding some of nature’s toughest outdoor elements including freezing temps, UV from the sun and more! Thanks to the ultra-resilient polyethylene construction of the Aquaponics sets, the material is capable of expanding and contracting with temperature changes without cracking.
Purchasing a high quality complete system takes the guesswork out of this type of gardening. The many benefits of growing your own food quickly return any investment into setting up a system. While many types of containers can be used to make an Aquaponics system, rotationally molded polyethylene is the preference of many experienced gardeners due to the durability and compatibility of the material with the plants and fish. Systems can be set up small then expanded by adding additional grow beds or fish tanks.
- Food Grade Material
- In-house manufactured grow bed stand
- No soil needed
- Durable material means no cracking
- Safe for indoor or outdoor use

White grubs are a common pest in Ontario lawns. These grubs are the larvae stage of the Scarab beetle that feed on the roots of grasses and other plants.
This results in the wilting and death of grass in patches on the lawn. Wilted grass can be pulled free easily due to the devastation of the root system. Another indicator of grubs is damage done by animals such as skunks, raccoons and other animals digging up the lawn to eat the grubs.
To get rid of or prevent white grubs, nematodes are available in Ontario as a biological control. Nematodes are a parasite of white grubs that come in several strains. The fastest acting strain is Stienernema, which usually kills insects within 16-24 hours. Nematodes kill host larvae and within 2 or 3 weeks, will reproduce a new generation of up to 200,000 more Nematodes.
Nematodes help control more than 250 insects including Cutworm, Root Weevils, Wire Worms, Fungus Gnat Larvae, Corn Borers and of course, Japanese Beetle Grubs. They seek out insects by sensing an increase in temperature or by smelling Methane Gas. They work by releasing a bacteria in the grub which causes it to die.
Nematodes are harmless to people, pets and other wildlife. Children and pets can play on the lawn immediately after application.
Nematodes should not be applied until the ground temperature is at least 10 degrees C. To avoid the effects of solar radiation and temperature extremes, application in early morning or early evening is recommended. For the best protection against grubs, Nematodes should be applied in mid-May to mid-June and again in mid-August to mid-October.
Nematodes should be kept in the fridge until you are ready to apply them. It is best to release them on a cooler, cloudy or rainy day. Place the Nematode sponge into 1 gallon/ 4 litres of water, creating a concentrated solution of Nematodes. After discarding the sponge, the concentrate will need to be diluted with water using a fertilizer applicator, a dial sprayer, a pressure sprayer (Nematodes can withstand 300 psi) or a watering can. Fill the dial sprayer with the Nematode solution and attach the garden hose, ensuring that there is no screen attached to the hose inside the applicator for the Nematodes to get stuck in. The Nematode solution must be kept agitated while being applied as it will settle. After applying Nematodes, keep the lawn moist for 3-5 days to ensure effectiveness. | agronomy |

Strauch’s closing remarks referenced what he believes to be the biggest problem, finding federal and state funding to repair aging waterway structures. “Every system is old and some of them are not doing very well, we have to think about how we are going to be able to maintain these systems.”
Scott Schaneman, acting general manager of the North Platte Natural Resources District (NPNRD), spoke to the group about the state of groundwater irrigation. He discussed water planning and management, current allocation and allocation period rules and regulations.
“We are a sponge,” Schaneman said, adding that his concern was not about groundwater scarcity, but surface water drought.
Bean Day attendees heard experts from the Panhandle Research and Extension Center provide an update on on-farm research. A roundtable was held with researchers and producers to answer questions and receive feedback from the public as well as online participants. Topics included western bean cutworm, heat-tolerant dry bean varieties, nitrogen management for dry bean production, weed control, sensor-based irrigation management and testing new chemical alternatives to copper for disease management. The roundtable ended after researchers heard feedback from producers regarding future studies and how best for researchers to communicate their work. | agronomy |

True or false?
The answer is false! Winter is a great season to visit nurseries, to see what’s in flower. Aloes, succulents and winter annuals are all in their prime, and July is also a month of maintenance. So, dress up in warm layers and tackle your garden!
Plant masses of Osteopermum (Cape daisy) and Gazania, so colourful in winter, in the pavement garden, the rock garden, in retaining walls and in pots.
Hydrangeas, deciduous fruit trees, roses and other plants that need shaping. Feed all the pruned plants with a general fertiliser, water them well and renew the layer of mulch around them.
Moss can be very dangerous on pathways or garden steps in rainy weather. Kill it off with boiling water, copper sulphate or moss killer, or blast it off with a pressure spray.
Water azaleas, camellias and magnolias regularly or they will drop their flower buds.
Do not forget to keep spring bulbs moist and to feed them with bulb fertiliser.
Roses, fruit trees and shrubs that are not about to flower in spring. Take care to stake plants and check and replace ties. Ties can do a lot of damage to plant tissue if they become too tight. Prune back ornamental grasses that have become brown.
Good herbs to grow in winter are thyme, orginanum, chervil, parsley, sage, hyssop and yarrow. Also plant peas, onion seedlings, beans, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries.
After reshaping old beds, fill them with osteospermums, pelargoniums, lavenders and gazanias.
Watering and feeding are vital to keep flowering plants in pristine condition, and deadheading is as important as ever to stretch their flower power. Petunias still perform well if planted out now. They are especially suited to window boxes, pots and hanging baskets.
Sow the last crops of peas and broad beans. Feed mint to encourage new growth and plant out parsley seedlings for a bumper spring crop. Prune deciduous fruit trees and spray with lime sulphur to control fungal diseases and insect eggs. Buy new lime sulphur each season, as it does not keep from year to year. Make sure that trees with crops on are watered during dry spells. This will prevent the fruit from dropping due to stress. Apply magnesium sulphate to citrus trees.
Grevillea ‘Canberra Pink’ and the dwarf G. lanigera ‘Mount Tamboritha’, both autumn to winter-flowering, are perfect to plant now. Protect them from severe frost while they are still young.
Leeks grow in the cooler months and are less daunting to grow than onions. Plant them in a trench about 8 cm deep (they like being deep!) and feed every 2-3 weeks with a liquid fertiliser.
Encourage lichen growth on raw brick walls or stone garden ornaments like urns by painting them with liquid seaweed fertiliser or yoghurt.
Ordinary, large-leaved ivy is frost resistant, cheap, very versatile and can be used to great effect in any garden. Plant it as a fast-growing, weed-smothering groundcovering under large trees – the shallow ivy roots will not mind the competition from deeper tree roots if you water it regularly.
Plant Eriocephalus africanus (wild rosemary or snow bush) as a low-growing hedge around your herb garden or as a border for a sunny, indigenous bed. These aromatic plants produce a mass of small white flowers, followed by little puffs of cottony seeds (hence the common name), which the birds need to line their nests.
Dig over the soil around your fruit trees in the backyard about 2-3 times during winter to expose any overwintering insects and fungi spores to frost. The last dig is also your opportunity to create neat basins around each tree, which makes deep watering with a hosepipe to get the moisture close to the roots easier and less wasteful.
You can break up heavy clay soil by digging in a dressing of agricultural lime. Add a light dose of agricultural lime to irises and stocks too, to promote good flowering in spring. Ailing lavenders and Clematis also benefit from a small dose of lime in winter.
Plant up your baskets with all kinds of little trailing titbits that will either produce lots of flowers or showy foliage in early spring. Also give tired old window boxes a lick of paint. Designing a new look and planting up these type of containers is one of the greatest gardening pleasures one can do on a wintry day. Consider these possibilities: herbs, groundcover roses, mixed annuals, vegetables like different coloured lettuces, ferns, succulents and dainty climbers like jasmine and trailing pelargoniums.
Anything that is actively growing or in season, like winter vegetables, citrus, bulbs, annuals and small flowering succulents and azaleas, must be fed with a liquid or specific fertiliser in winter.
Roses can be pruned, but do not be too hasty to remove frost-damaged parts of other plants. Give lavenders a trim – this will encourage new growth and flowers for August and September.
In frost-free areas, begin sowing summer veggies like tomatoes, brinjals, baby marrows and butternut.
Buy ‘colour bags’ of annuals if you want an instant flower garden or do not have the patience to wait for baby stuff to grow. It is not a waste of money as these plants are not ‘blown’ or on their ‘last legs’, they will just supply flower power and pleasure much faster for you to enjoy.
If you are bored with traditional potted plants or need a cheap trick to supply greenery for a party, sow some lawn seed in clay pots or wooden boxes. You will end up with a miniature and portable green lawn into which you can arrange small garden flowers in glass tubes – ain’t that a cute idea!
The small fruit of Citrus aurantifolia (West Indian lime or key lime) can be used from green to yellow (when it is ripe), and is a flavoursome little fruit to add to any sundowner. The aromatic, compact and bushy shrub is an ideal candidate for large pots on a sunny patio. | agronomy |

An appellation of origin is a protected designation that identifies the geographical origin of a product and how that product was produced. The most well-known examples include Bordeaux (wine made from grapes grown in Bordeaux, France), Champagne (made from grapes grown in Champagne, France), and Tequila (made from blue agave grown in Jalisco, Mexico).
CDFA’s mission with the Cannabis Appellations Program is to promote regional cannabis products and local businesses, prevent the misrepresentation of a cannabis product’s origin, and support consumer confidence about a cannabis product’s origin and characteristics.

Mainly at ground level,but as they can FLY very very well some are ending up on the plants and having a go!
The issue is, we are using insecticides once a fortnight at the moment and these guys are coming in daily. I would advise a Cararyl spray to coat the leaves to take them out, but there just isnt enough of the critters to allocate the time to spray. Oh well a few munched leaves here and there for customers to complain about.
Most of the damage is randum, chew and move on type damage. You can hear therm chiping everywhere!

Black field crickets
Black field crickets (Teleogryllus commodus) are an occasional pest in the winter rainfall zones of southern New South Wales, Victoria and parts of South Australia and Tasmania. They can cause significant damage to newly sown pastures and crops. Last season there were significant issues in early autumn in several areas of western Victoria.
This year, we have again received reports of large numbers of black field crickets in numerous paddocks. Agronomy Consultant, Lee Connor (AGRIvision), reports that isolated paddocks in the southern Mallee (Victoria) are experiencing issues with crickets. There is concern for canola crops sown into paddocks while crickets are still active. Agronomist, Sarah Heazlewood (Gorst Rural Supplies), has also observed black field crickets across several paddocks surrounding Lake Bolac, in the Western district of Victoria. Cricket numbers will begin to decline in response to cooler/wetter conditions in late autumn and early winter.
Black field crickets are usually black or brown in colour. They have wings, long antennae and grow up to 30 mm in length. Crickets normally hide during the day, underneath clods of dirt or in soil cracks, and then become active at night. A good method for monitoring is to place hessian bags or something similar on the ground overnight, then check the next morning for crickets underneath. Several other species of crickets may be encountered in crops however black field crickets are the most common.
Damage to crops will most likely depend on the availability of food sources. The black field cricket can feed on a wide range of crop plants. Pasture grasses and legumes are very susceptible to cricket damage. In addition to pastures, crickets also have a preference for emerging cereal crops, sunflowers and soybeans.
Using insecticide-treated grain baits is a common control method for field crickets and is most effective when few alternative food sources are available. Spraying of broad-spectrum insecticides is less effective than baiting due to the crickets spending the majority of their time underground. | agronomy |

Today’s debate in ET is a very good read. Recommend it strongly, in spite of our having covered the subject earlier in our blogs. Do so here. Some excerpts worth our noting:
It is incorrect to say that derivatives trading are fuelling price inflation. Futures trading provides vital clues to the state of demand-supply mismatches which was evident in case of wheat in 2006, tur in 2007 and even in this year in case of mustard, where lower output has been forecast by the government. Hence, futures trading mirrors economic fundamentals and if they are weak, the same will be reflected and one needs to address the fundamentals rather than the image.
A ban on futures trading cannot hence change the fundamentals. We banned futures trading in wheat, urad, tur and rice last year. Prices of tur went up during the entire year due to a shortfall in production. Wheat prices reacted to global influences and continued to rise, and last week’s inflation data shows that rice prices have also gone up sharply. Hence, banning futures will simply remove a powerful signalling tool which can otherwise be used by the government to plan the supplies.
Prices of fruits, vegetables, milk, coarse cereals, pulses like urad, tur and masoor, which are not traded on the exchanges have registered very high increases.
Another example is edible oils. The hardening of edible oil prices is basically due to the rising crude price as well as due to the obsession of various countries with the production of biofuels. With crude holding above $110 more and more countries are willing to use their mustard, soya, maize, and palm oil for producing biofuels. This has led to extra demand for the food grains and edible oils, something that was not there before the advent commexes in India.
So the government, instead of making a scapegoat of the commexes, should take concrete steps to help farmers grow more food. It should help them by developing infrastructure like irrigation canals and warehouses. India’s current warehousing capacity for farm produce stands at around one million tonnes — too little for accommodating the demands of farmers. Enhanced warehousing capacity will empower farmers and save them from distress sale, thus providing them with better incomes, which will only spur them to grow more food. We are currently witnessing the scenario in West Bengal where a bumper crop of potatoes has not resulted in bumper profits for the farmers, since the warehouses are already full and the farmers are forced to sell their produce at a ridiculously low price(Rs 150/quintal.) To sum up, the commexes don’t invent the price, they just help people discover it. | agronomy |

Gardening as a hobby:
Gardening is one of the most popular hobbies of a large number of people especially those who are fond of falling in line with nature. Making friends with flowers, plants, trees, vegetables in the garden is also a useful way for people to relax, reduce stress and recover energy.
You are a person who always loves gardening, you are passionate about planting a plant properly and interested to take care of your our garden then along with your physical effort, soil, manure and gardening tools will help you to maintain your garden.
- Plants do the best if they are well suited to your growing area.
- Take some time to understand existing environmental conditions and choose the suitable plant.
- Grow plants using organic methods.
- To prevent accumulating dirt under your fingernails while you work in the garden, draw your fingernails across a bar of soap and you will effectively seal the undersides of your nails so dirt cannot collect beneath them. Then, after you have finished in the garden, use a nailbrush to remove the soap and your nails will be sparkling clean.
- Plant pungent herbs such as rosemary and sage, to keep cats out of garden.
- Companion planting is an excellent way to improve your garden
- The mixture of Soil, Coco-peat and Vermi-compost are the plant medium for planting. Proportion should be 3:1:1.
- Pot size should be convenient for the plants growth, if it’s a container gardening. Or if it’s a ground gardening pit-hole should be minimal of 1:1:1 feet.
- Drainage hole should be checked throughly, if it’s a container gardening.
- While replanting the plants should be carefully uprooted with the mother-roots of the plants.
- After planting of the plants watering is a mandatory as soon as planting is done.
- Pruning of dried and infected leaves helps the plant to grow up fast.
- Insects can’t stand plants such as garlic, onions, chives and Chrysanthemums. Grow these plants around your garden to help insects.
- Healthy soil means healthy plants that are better able to resist pests and disease, reducing the need for harmful pesticides.
- A simple five percent increase in organic material (compost) quadruples the soil ability to store water.
- Over watering is worse than under-watering. It is easy to revive a dry plant than try to dry out drowned roots.
- Keep garden vegetables from getting dirty by spreading a 1-2 inch layer of mulch around each plant | agronomy |

Almost 60% of European rice is produced in Italy. This important goal is also achieved thanks to the research and the innovation that have been taking place locally, in all compartments of the rice production chain. Strengthening of the sustainability of the productive system in its economic, social, environmental, cultural and industrial aspects is being realized through a transdisciplinary commitment. Scientific and technological research, from basic molecular biology to the systemic level are involved in this process. In this context, research groups at the University of Milan have been collaborating locally and with national and international institutions, as well as with enterprises in the sector. The Rice Days Workshop is dedicated to rice research at the University of Milan and is promoted to define an updated portfolio of the activities carried out and to delineate prerequisites for new synergies and collaborations. National institutions and enterprises dedicated to rice will also be present. During the Rice Days Workshop, local research groups will be able to present their activities and to take part of discussion tables with the aim to examine relevant issues and perspectives of the rice sector in a multidisciplinary manner. Reports by national and international experts will also take place. | agronomy |

The clients are deeply invested in making sustainable decisions for their organic farm. Their sustainable imperative, coupled with the design teams’ efforts to respect the local agricultural tradition, create a new model for a small scale farm. The project expresses how residential development can preserve and enhance an agricultural landscape, in fact augmenting a connection to the existing land.
Located in Sebastapol, CA, this fifteen acre property is situated amongst rolling hills, vineyards, orchards, and oak woodlands. On a hillside, overlain with Gold Ridge sandy loamy soil, the site offers ideal vineyard growing conditions for the client, a winemaker. The clients’ dedication to environmental stewardship extends to every aspect of their property— from materials selection, to implementation of solar energy, to a firm commitment to organic production methods.
For this project, new structures were planned to nestle within existing farm buildings and a remnant Gravenstein apple orchard, an endangered variety of fruit that once defined the local growing tradition. The design team sited a new barn, guest house, greenhouse, vegetable garden and main residence within the orchard, preserving existing trees. Borrowing proportions and materials from an agricultural language, the project strives to resonate with its productive context. | agronomy |

Rather than just tell us how environmentally friendly and responsibly sourced their products are, Woolworths’ latest TV ad shows us by sharing the behind-the-scenes realities of where their food comes from.
Moving away from typical commercial production, Woolworths made use of GoPro action cameras by giving them to the farmers, farm workers, fishermen and baristas who grow, produce, catch, roast and make their food products. The camera technology captures the unadulterated action of Fairtrade coffee farmers farming on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, Woolworths Farming for the Future vegetable farms, Ayrshire dairy farms and farms that produce their free range eggs, as well as the Marine Stewardship Council-approved fishing boats on the high seas and sustainable fish farming projects in Franschhoek and Lesotho.
Watch the ‘making of’ above, the final product below, and look out for a 2nd TVC launching this month. | agronomy |

Robin Mercer, owner of Hillmount in Ards, Bangor and Belfast, said: “We are helping the local community with take away food options, by sourcing hand sanitisers and offering customers the opportunity to order their gardening products over the phone for collection. We are changing how we manage our business in line with government advice on an almost hourly basis for the safety of our staff and customers. It is important though that we look after our mental health at times such as this too and gardening can be therapeutic for all ages, while providing a gentle form of exercise.”
Robin has shared some top tips for preparing your garden for spring and entertaining the next generation. You can introduce children to gardening from an early age, encouraging them to water plants, sow seeds and watch the plants and flowers they’ve planted grow.
If the weather is kind and you are feeling healthy, getting out into your garden and spending a few hours attacking the weeds with the kids is a great way of taking in some fresh air whilst giving your garden a spring facelift.
Known as ‘earlies’, seed potatoes can be planted now and they will be ready for eating in around 12 weeks. Little ones will enjoy learning about the potato growth cycle.
The birds are still singing and are in need of food and water for drinking and bathing in. Keep your bird table topped up with seeds and if it’s extremely cold, you could fill the bird bath with luke warm water. You can also take a few moments to watch the birds visit the garden and teach the children about the different varieties and species.
It’s never too early to introduce children to the joy of planting seeds and the excitement of growing plants and flowers. It’s also great for encouraging them to eat fruit and vegetables. You don’t need to sow lettuce outdoors, if it’s raining you can sow around 50 lettuce seeds per pot into fresh compost and place on the kitchen window ledge.
You could try growing multi coloured popcorn. You can buy the multi coloured corn in any good garden centre or online and when you settle down to watch a movie on the television you can eat your own home grown popcorn!
Treat your children to a packet of sunflower seeds and experience the excitement on their faces as they watch the progress of the sunflowers growing. This is a super inexpensive way of entertaining children while encouraging a love of gardening.
If you’re feeling energetic you could spend a few hours alone time while social distancing and wash the patio, clean the decking or free your garden from winter moss. Spring cleaning outside is just as important as spring cleaning inside and there’s a real sense of satisfaction when your efforts free your garden of moss and weeds. The children will love getting a bit of fresh air. | agronomy |
