The Global Agricultural Productivity Index, released annually at the World Food Prize Borlaug Dialogue, shows a spread between projected production and demand. Agricultural Total Factor Productivity, (TFP) is growing globally at a rate of 1.63% annually yet the growth needs to rise 1.73% annually to sustain the needs of a larger population at mid-century.
December corn is up 3 3/4 cents per bushel, November soybeans are up 8 cents, and December K.C. wheat is up 5 cents.
Limited interest thus far in cash cattle trade has kept markets sluggish and looking for potential end-of-the-week movement. The underlying support in live cattle futures continues to spark firm expectations in cash values. | agronomy |

Below are some of the key insights from my talk:
Food producers will have to do more with less
The global population is expected to reach nearly 10 billion people by 2050, which means that food production will have to increase by 50% to keep pace. This population growth will put pressure on the amount of arable land available, and each hectare will have to support more people with each year. At the same time, developing countries are expected to add 40 million hectares of irrigation in the years to 2030, which will put further pressure on global freshwater reserves.
Food waste is the most pressing problem to solve
Current global output is large enough to feed the existing population, but armed conflicts and climate-related events are disrupting supply chains in vulnerable countries. As a result the number of undernourished people worldwide, which had been declining until 2015, has started to creep up again. But waste isn’t just a problem in developing countries: farming in industrialized nations wastes around twice as much food, by value, as in developing nations.
Mobile networks are the best bet for Agri-IoT
Cellular technologies like 3G and 4G, as well as NB-IoT or LoRa, offer the ideal combination of range, data throughput, cost and battery life to support IoT activities in agriculture. The distances are greater than in use cases like smart home or smart building, and are more subject to change, meaning that even mesh technologies like Bluetooth Mesh, ZigBee or Z-Wave aren’t ideal. At the same time, most mobile operators (MNOs) are entering Agri-IoT in some way, so they will make good partners for startups seeking connectivity in this space.
Farmers need to make sense of their data
Food producers have been using data to drive their activities since the technology was available. However, their machinery and equipment is generating so much data that farmers need something to help them make sense of it all: whether by communicating crop prices or helping them to find dealers or marketplaces to buy and sell equipment or produce.
The big opportunities are in managing the supply chain
As stated, food waste is mainly a supply chain problem. For distributors, cold chain and logistics or fleet management will help to ensure that produce or inputs (e.g. seed) get to and from growers without spoiling. For retailers, blockchain can act as a certificate of authenticity to help them trace sources of foodborne illness.
The biggest opportunities for startups in the Agri-IoT sector are reducing waste and creating actionable insights out of farmers’ data. Mobile networks will be important partners in delivering connectivity, given relative lack of broadband coverage in rural areas and the limitations of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, et al. Agri-IoT comprises multiple technologies beyond connectivity, including computer vision to visualize crop or animal health, and artificial intelligence to spot trends. | agronomy |

You’ve heard about germinating wheat but sprouted nuts are 1,000 times more efficient.
Pour a kilogram of walnuts (with their shells) with cold water. They need to wallow in the water.
Then keep them in cold for two weeks and change the water every 2 days.
Stir the nuts at least twice.
For about two weeks the nuts will be ready for use.
You need to keep the nuts in the fridge in the water where they were sprouted.
Three cleaned walnuts in the morning and in the evening.
The recipe will rejuvenate and cleanse your body. | agronomy |

Hello my wonderful gardening chums, it’s Beatrix Potts your, “Organic Gardening Maven.” Our subject matter today is controversial and there are a variety of opinions. As Beatrix has reminded you, bad information about your organic fertilizer is just as dangerous as cutworms. We are here to set the record straight.
Many people have a misunderstanding about some of the things you can put into your organic gardening compost. Coffee grounds, teabags or even loose tea, and eggshells are quite acceptable to put into your organic compost. Beatrix has reminded you that these items are absolutely stellar in your compost, as long as you make them into very small bits. And the way to do that is to put them through a food processor. These items contained tremendous levels of nitrogen, and as you know nitrogen is one of the key elements that will feed our organic vegetables and make the ground absolutely fantastic for our organic gardening.
Some say that adding manure to your organic gardening compost is a positive. Beatrix has to disagree with this, as you well know and we have reminded you that there is a very real danger when putting raw manure into your organic gardening compost . You may be introducing undigested weed seeds into your organic garden, and this is just totally unacceptable.
When you can find manure that has been rendered inert and any weed seedlings in it have been rendered sterile then it might be acceptable to use this material. One thing you should keep in mind is if the seedlings have been rendered sterile than the rest of the manure is also probably inert, and that means there’s really not much alive and thriving and very little nutrient within this particular organic material.
Why Oh why would one think for a minute that it would be productive to plant weed seeds in our organic vegetable garden? As you well know Beatrix has a terrible vengeance concerning weeds. They are the parasites of the organic vegetable garden, with the possible exception of dandelions that can be made into wine they have very little use whatsoever. And even though some gardeners will tell you that pulling weeds and throwing them in your organic gardening compost is a positive thing to do, Beatrix would ask you, have they gone to seed yet? For if they have, once again you’re simply adding these nasty little weed seeds into your wonderful organic compost.
Some so-called organic compost experts will tell you that the heat from your compost will render any of these weed seeds infertile. That has not been our experience in the past and to save you the heartache of seeing your wonderful vegetables choked and assaulted by vicious weeds we urge you to think twice about adding raw manure to your organic garden fertilizer. You have been warned. (Beatrix apologizes for her stern tone and urges you to understand her loathing for these organic vegetable garden invaders.) | agronomy |

SOS Jersey weren’t invited, but will be there, at The Grand, covering both days.
Click for Sea Lettuce Report – where we are at and why and what we can do about it – October 2017 – by Jacqui Carrel of SOS Jersey (easy to read and in PDF format); Tony Legg’s paper SEA LETTUCE BLOOM MITIGATION – A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY USING ST AUBINS BAY JERSEY – OCTOBER 2017 – TONY LEGG; information about Glyn Mitchell’s soil regeneration project.
The first day and a half will comprise more science-orientated presentations from visiting speakers and Friday afternoon is a general information session. If you would like to speak with me, please do!
Because of also being contacted (and it was too late by the time Mr Legg contacted the States), aquaculture specialist Tony Legg (BSc (Hons) Applied Zoology (UCNW) CiBiol, MIBiol, MIFM) cannot speak at the event, as he will be speaking at a conference on Native Oyster restoration in Ireland and thereafter going to the EAS conference in Dubrovnik where he am chairing a session on Native Oysters.
We feel this is a great opportunity missed, both in terms of the States hearing Mr Legg’s proposition and in terms of peers being able to give their thoughts, feedback and suggestions to his ideas on controlling the effects of excess nitrates in the Bay to help prevent blooms.
We are also sorry to see our local soil ecologist Glyn Mitchell also sidelined. Why? He also has ideas about cutting nitrates, this time at source.

More on soil regeneration
Click here to see more about Glyn Mitchell’s work on soil regeneration. (Opens in new tab/window to Credible Food website).
The first study, “The Myth of Nitrogen Fertilization for Soil Carbon Sequestration” (Journal of Environmental Quality, 2007) found that synthetic nitrogen fertilizer use was rapidly depleting soil’s carbon sequestration abilities (e.g. rather than storing carbon, carbon stores are released into the atmosphere as CO2):
“Intensive use of N fertilizers in modern agriculture is motivated by the economic value of high grain yields and is generally perceived to sequester soil organic C by increasing the input of crop residues. This perception is at odds with a century of soil organic C data reported herein for the Morrow Plots, the world’s oldest experimental site under continuous corn (Zea maysL.).
After 40 to 50 yr of synthetic fertilization that exceeded grain N removal by 60 to 190%, a net decline occurred in soil C despite increasingly massive residue C incorporation… These findings implicate fertilizer N in promoting the decomposition of crop residues and soil organic matter and are consistent with data from numerous cropping experiments involving synthetic N fertilization in the USA Corn Belt and elsewhere, although not with the interpretation usually provided.
There are important implications for soil C sequestration because the yield-based input of fertilizer N has commonly exceeded grain N removal for corn production on fertile soils since the 1960s. To mitigate the ongoing consequences of soil deterioration, atmospheric CO2 enrichment, and NO3 − pollution of ground and surface waters, N fertilization should be managed by site-specific assessment of soil N availability.
Current fertilizer N management practices, if combined with corn stover removal for bioenergy production, exacerbate soil C loss.” The second study, “Synthetic Nitrogen Fertilizers Deplete Soil Nitrogen: A Global Dilemma for Sustainable Cereal Production”*16 (Journal of Environmental Quality, 2009) demonstrated that long-term use of synthetic nitrogen fertilizer was increasingly depleting the soil’s nitrogen storage capacities, and therefore making continued crop production on those soils impossible:
“This decline [in soil Nitrogen] is in agreement with numerous long-term baseline data sets from chemical-based cropping systems involving a wide variety of soils, geographic regions, and tillage practices. The loss of organic N decreases soil productivity and the agronomic efficiency (kg grain kg(-1) N) of fertilizer N and has been implicated in widespread reports of yield stagnation or even decline for grain production in Asia. A major global evaluation of current cereal production systems should be undertaken…”
In short: the conventional thinking of conventional agriculture in regards to synthetic nitrogen fertilizer use is not just wrong, it’s dangerously wrong. Synthetic nitrogen fertilizer is rapidly depleting the world’s soil fertility, burning out its carbon stores, and causing an increase in fertilizer use in order to continue getting a yield from the same land. This is why, in the past forty years, nitrogen fertilizer efficiency (the rate at which plants are able to use the nitrogen fertilizer applied on fields) has decreased by two-thirds while nitrogen fertilizer use per hectare of land has increased sevenfold. (Global average of 8.6 kg/ha in 1961 to 62.5 kg/ha in 2006.)*18 | agronomy |

Cannabis contains essential oils and vitamins. They also contain two active chemical compounds cannabidiol and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) which impact the brain and have the pain relieving properties.
Nowadays, weeds can be used for smoking and as edibles as well. Weed edibles are quite popular and they are added to brownies and cookies.
But during consumption of weed whether by smoking or eating, the quality of weed matter because it can greatly influence the overall consumption.
You should know the different qualities of weed and how to determine them because the quality is all matters.
Here are the different quality of your flower and their effectiveness –
Low quality –
Low-quality of cannabis is commonly referred as schwag. They are typically harsh and can inspire a coughing fit. They are the least expensive and their consumption can give you an unpleasant experience. Low quality of weed is older and has been not properly cured and dried. It provides a higher amount of cannabidiol compound.
- They contain seeds and are brown in color.
- They are dry and get easily crumbles.
- They are airy and not dense. It also contains few crystals like trichomes.
- They are harsh to smoke and causes chest pain.
- They have a poor, weak and musty smell.
Mid quality –
Mid quality is an average herb. They are moderately priced which is available in many dispensaries, and coffee shops. They typically provide an average amount of THC compound.
- They have small and tiny buds and has adequate trichome coverage.
- They are grown with decent genetics from clones or seeds.
- They have chopping trimming and manicuring.
- They burn smoothly and produces gray ash.
- They have an aroma that may be nice, not disgusted.
High quality –
The high quality of cannabis is the grand supreme quality in the cannabis world. They are usually referred as chronic. The high quality of weeds is either high in cannabidiol or THC.
- They are organic, dense and have a coating of trichomes.
- They are rare, craft and have superior genetics.
- They produce dense and fluffy buds which are large and substantial.
- They have a wide range of colors from green to purple, pink, black and blue.
- They burn very smoothly and produce a nice white ash.
- They are pesticides and pathogens free.
You need to know how to determine the different qualities of weed. The right consumption of weeds can only provide you beneficial effects. You can buy weed online to get the supreme qualities. | agronomy |

Direction to Sun (Aspect): Ideally, vineyards face south/southeast in the Northern Hemisphere to maximize exposure to the sun, while Southern Hemisphere vineyards are ideally north/northeast facing.
Hills/Slopes: Hills and slopes allow maximum sunlight exposure and provide the best drainage to ensure grapevine roots get enough water without sitting in standing water which can cause root rot.
Mountains: Foothills and mountains help protect vineyards by blocking rain, storms, excessive winds or other damaging forces while creating the ideal climate for vineyard success. Mountains along with lower hills provide higher elevations (altitudes) which lowers the temperature.
Waterways: Large bodies of water like oceans, lakes or rivers can cool vineyards during hot summer growing months, warm vineyards as temperatures cool in the fall, and reflect sun providing warmth and sunlight to vineyards.
These are just a few influences on vineyards to provide examples of how the specific terrain and physical location of a vineyard can dramatically impact how well a grapevine can grow and produce fruit as well as what types of grapes can survive and thrive. Let’s move on and explore the results of where a grape is grown on the type and style of wine a winemaker can achieve! | agronomy |

We want a large garden, which is in the works; we want homesteady-type animals, hence the chickens; we want to produce as much of our own food as we can, hence all the seeds that have or have not been sown. I love that the kids have places to run, play, and hide. I love the wild and unruly woods that our home resides in, just as much as I love the garden plot that we’ve cleared, and the adjacent three acre rolling pasture.
There are challenges. I miss Pittsburgh, our old church, our old friends. I miss having access to public transportation, good shopping (Whole Foods Market! Trader Joe’s! IKEA!), and good museums. The ticks are enough to drive me insane. But after being here about ten months, there is one challenge that stands out to me as the biggest:
It is hard to do this alone.
I feel like we were meant to live in community. In some cultures, that means intergenerational living; your whole extended family lives with you or nearby. There’s always someone to hold a baby or feed the chickens when you can’t. In more modern times and western cultures, cohousing has become a risingly popular option for those seeking community; folks with shared values live close to one another (usually in their own homes) with the intent of sharing life in some way.
I love the garden and chickens, and I really look forward to having goats and/or a cow someday. Maybe sheep, too. But the daily tasks involved with all of these ventures tend to tie us down more than we like. Eggs will need to be collected daily at some point; goats will need to be milked once or twice daily ten months of the year. There is little room for a weekend camping trip or a week up in the U.P. for my husband’s job. There’s a ton of state and national campgrounds I’d like to check out this summer, but many are too far for a day trip. When we have our baby in January, someone will still have to go out and feed the chickens the next morning. Right now, I’m even home, and the garden needs to be planted more, but I have little time to do it due to the ages of my children and lack of help with them.
Don’t get me wrong; I’m willing to do the work. I find great satisfaction in tending the chickens and weeding the garden. I long for more of this kind of work and more time to complete it. And I don’t think we deserve (or even want) to be gone every weekend all summer. We have wonderful neighbors who have offered to tend the chickens so we can do that week in the U.P. in August. We considered the whole picture when we dug into gardening and chicken ranching. We knew it would require daily chores, and we did it anyway. And, given the opportunity, I’d do it all again in a heartbeat.
The hard part is that we’re alone in this. I mean, we have each other, but that’s it. There are a lot of young families out there who, like us, want to expose their kids to this lifestyle, but unlike us, can’t imagine making the details work out. Wouldn’t it be beautiful if some of those families could get together and share the burden, attack the details as a team, reap the harvest in community, and give each other breaks? People say to me all the time, “I’d love to have chickens, but then we couldn’t do ______.” Or, “I’d love to have a goat, but I still want to go up to the cabin during the summer weekends.” For these folks, sharing the farm with others is the best way to still have those things.
If you live in an urban neighborhood that allows chickens, why not share a flock of chickens among like-minded neighbors? You share the work, share the eggs, and still go on your vacations. Similarly, why not share backyard gardens? One of you has shade, the other has sun; let the kids play in the shade, and do a double-size garden in the sunny lot. Twice the adults for weeding and watering, and less overzealous zucchinis and tomatoes to get rid of.
For us, we just pray and wait. We have a big garage that would make a nice apartment space someday. We dream about finishing it and renting it to another family who wants to garden and farm alongside us, even just occasionally. Or just renting out part of the lower level to a student or two who are interested in organic gardening and animals and would enjoy watching our little farm when we travel once in a while. It’s a long shot, but I can’t help but hope that we could start up a tiny little cohousing operation of our very own, not just to share the load, but to share life and friendship.

This is a scene from the Sichuan countryside.
Many years ago I went with Professor Tsai You and some other people to sketch Jiuzhai Gorge in Sichuan. We spent around half a day at a place called Yellow Dragon River near Chengdu, and sketched the countryside. It was indescribably beautiful.
Fall has come and the rice has ripened. Flat, differently-colored rice fields stretch out in front of us. The rice spikes sway in waves when the breeze blows. It is extraordinarily lovely.
The banks of the small creek over here are covered with tall wild grass (they are actually reeds). In the fall the grass flowers, and the grayish-white tufts lean in the wind. There is a palpable sense of autumn in the air.＠ | agronomy |

Smaller business’ ability to drive growth through a people-first strategy shows that in the scheme of things size doesn’t matter, but people do.
In America, bigger has always been better. We like our houses, sodas, and even our businesses supersized. In fact, the United States has the world’s most Fortune 500 companies, with over a quarter.
However, today we’ve seen a different trend, especially in the food-and-beverage world. We’re witnessing a modern-day David and Goliath where small businesses are starting to challenge the giants. Nielsen, a consultancy, reported that between 2011 and 2015 the 25 biggest food-and-beverage companies generated 45% of sales, but only drove 3% of industry growth. Who was driving the growth? 20,000 companies outside the top 100 were responsible.
Taking a look at various powerful micro-brands, there is a provocative fil rouge or guiding principle among them. All of these small companies have put people instead of profits at the center of their work. Instead of the traditional strategy of cutting costs, they looked for ways to build value by designing better business practices and elevating the quality of their products.
Intelligentsia is just one example of many small pioneers who dared to transform its industry by focusing on people before profits. The tiny powerhouse’s ability to drive growth shows that in the scheme of things size doesn’t matter, but people do. Doug Zell founded the company in 1997 when he saw a growing demand for better coffee. Quickly afterward he developed Direct Trade practices when he realized Intelligentsia should be working closer with the growers. With Direct Trade, Intelligentsia buys directly from farmers guaranteeing that the farmer instead of the exporter gets all the profit. Beyond paying farmers above the national fair trade level, Intelligentsia develops meaningful relationships with the farmers. The coffee roaster has a team dedicated to traveling to each farm every year to exchange knowledge with the growers.
This approach to the workers became foundational to the coffee roaster’s value proposition. The website states, “It is the ultimate paradigm of mutual advantage—better coffees for consumers, and better prices for growers.” When Intelligentsia focused on the farmers, their work got better. They became more passionate about growing better quality coffee and as a result Intelligentsia was better able to cater to the growing desire for fuller flavored drinks. While conventional coffee roasters burn their inferior quality Robusta beans to cover up any bad tastes, Intelligentsia roasts its coffee at low temperatures for a short time in order to preserve the natural flavors and aromas present in the superior quality Arabica beans. It’s coffee is a success. Today Intelligentsia roasts 3 million pounds of coffee for 700 restaurants and cafés in the US.
Since 1997, other coffee entrepreneurs have followed Zell and started companies focused on creating a better experience for all stakeholders. By focusing on ingredients, origins, and preparations, other small players like Blue Bottle, Stumptown, and Verve have changed how people drink coffee. Coffee consumption in the US is now 59% specialty according to the National Coffee Association. This was the first time it surpassed conventional coffee. It also reports that over the past 18 years, specialty coffee has seen the strongest growth in the sector. With this success, the small guys have been able to challenge the big guys.
As a result, the big players began implementing a people first strategy. Starbucks developed its Reserve brand that offers premium, single-origin Arabica coffee. Like its new competitors, Starbucks partners with small growers to help them boost the productivity and quality of their Arabica beans. McDonald's, the other major US coffee company, has also introduced sustainable practices in its McCafe line with the McCafe Sustainability Improvement Platform, which is a framework for sustainable sourcing and investment in coffee growing communities.
The coffee industry is not the only US industry being transformed by small companies who decided to be the best in the world while being the best for the world. The chocolate, beer, bread, and wine industry are just a few other examples where this dynamic developed. As more American businesses, both large and small, realize the power this strategy holds we can look forward not only to better products but a better world. | agronomy |

About a month ago I bought some avocados because they do not grow in my region. I had read that you can grow an avocado as a houseplant. It will not produce fruit because it is not hardy here, but it can make a beautiful tree, house plant in your home.
I simply took the seed out of the avocado I bought and soaked it in water for a week. I then planted it in potting soil. Two weeks later it finally sprouted! I gave it a good rinse and planted in back in potting soil. I am anxious to see it grow into a beautiful plant! | agronomy |

PBO is well known for its capability to act as an insecticides synergist by inhibiting the natural defences of the insects. PBO inhibits enzymes present in insects, most important of which are the mixed function oxidases (MFO), which are largely responsible for the metabolic detoxification of the insecticides in the insect’s body. By reducing the oxidative breakdown of other insecticides like pyrethrins and the synthetic pyrethroids (Casida, 1970), higher levels remain in the insect and are available to exercise their lethal effect on the insect. By enhancing the insecticidal activity of a given level of insecticide, less pesticide can be used to achieve the same result (Glynne-Jones, 1998). | agronomy |

A garden compost company can improve the overall health of your garden and lawn. This process eliminates both the important nutrients discovered in our breaking down waste or food scraps and bacteria break it down to be made use of in the soil. As a result, you will discover that your plants, vegetables, trees and flowers tend to grow more quickly and become more durable.
In addition to the advantages that it supplies the garden, organic composting helps to minimize the amount of garbage that winds up in landfills, making this method a particularly feasible option for those who are worried about the damage that our natural supplies are taking on our environment. Given that it is made from organic product, you can be particular that you are not adding to the damage of our environment when you utilize this technique.
What does an organic composting business do differently than the common backyard composting enthusiast?
There are a couple of various things, and among the most important is that they work towards an emphasis on being environmentally accountable - meaning that rather of using products that have actually been treated with chemicals to help with decay (often in the form of fertilizer, and even left in the soil for a longer time period), they compost their products with products that have been left out in the open and totally free of any additives.
There are a number of various places where you can discover a Composting Service in your community. Depending on the size and appeal of your neighborhood, you may need to locate a number of services prior to finding one that you desire to use. Prior to contacting any business though, you need to make sure that they follow good sanitation practices so that you will be able to recycle all of the waste that they produce. After all, it is not just your own individual health that is at risk but the health of others also.
What is the factor for composting? It is an approach of recycling the natural waste products that can otherwise end up as some kind of solid fertilizer in land fills, and is an all natural approach of decay that also includes the disintegrated plant and animal matter. The process of decomposition needs the breakdown of plant product, animal material, human waste products and other natural matter that can not be categorized as 'fertilizer'. This organic matter breaks down into humus (likewise understood as sludge), which is carried through the composting heap to the central composting chamber, from where it will be broken down further into nutrient-rich humus.
If you are looking for a new method to deal with your garden waste, choosing to begin composting is a terrific alternative. The composting procedure not only helps minimize landfill waste but likewise has a favorable environmental effect by reducing the quantity of natural resources such as wood, coal, and agricultural chemicals that are required to produce new gardens.
Throughout the basic composting procedure, waste product, such as vegetable peelings, yard clippings, coffee grounds, and eggshells, are broken down into nutrient-rich humus. The resulting garden compost is a completely natural, healthy product that can be used to enhance your garden, flower bed, backyard, and plants. Compost that is abundant in advantageous microbes and other microbes motivates the development of useful germs and fungi. These valuable organisms break down natural materials, producing the nutrient-rich garden compost that plants need to grow. | agronomy |

Because Nick hasn't been home much at all this year, and this summer he's staying at school.
When I realized this was going down in January, the tears came full force. "I didn't know I was sending him off for good!" I wailed to Liam. "I did," he said quietly. Then followed a long, cold, quiet winter punctuated by my daughter Emma turning 16 and getting her driver's license. As I handed over the car keys, I had to face facts - nobody in my house needed much mothering anymore. I felt adrift.
Last fall we'd given our unused trampoline away, and the sad patch of dirt out by our garage was just another reminder of my impending empty nest. But as spring slowly crept into the North Shore, an idea began to sprout. I would fill that barren, forlorn space with life! I would plant a vegetable garden!
I proudly shared my idea with my husband and kids.
"I don't really see you as the gardening type," said Nick, skeptically, over the phone.
"Well I'm going to be," I huffed. "You aren't coming home; Emma barely needs me. I need something to take care of around here!"
"Good idea, that will keep you busy" chirped Emma, then skipped off to her room to pursue her own personal hobby of throwing clothes on the floor.
Liam merely raised a dark Irish eyebrow at me and went back to polishing his bike.
It's true, I'm not really the gardening type. We have a beautiful yard, but it's all due to our dear friend and landscape architect, Jim O'Brien (check out his website, you will drool over his work.) There was no way I was getting into this gardening thing without his help. So O'Brien & Co did all the heavy lifting by transforming the trampoline patch into a beautiful plot of raised gardening beds. All I had to do was plant them!
After consulting with Jim and Liam, we decided that I would actually plant just two of the beds and O'Brien would plant the ones closest to the house. That way, there'd be a beautiful, flourishing display facing the yard, disguising the beds that I would experiment with.
Last week I eagerly tackled my beds. I decided to devote one to herbs and the other to vegetables. I bought herb plants - basil, thyme, tarragon, mint, rosemary and oregano, and planted rows of chives and parsley seeds. In the other bed I planted only seeds - carrots, beets, radishes, lettuce, and beans. I was amazed to discover that planting seeds takes about two seconds. Seriously, it's the easiest thing in the world - go stick some seeds in the ground right now! (Yes, I do realize that having professionally prepared beds teeming with richly fertilized and irrigated soil does ease the process a bit.)
It's only been a week and nothing has sprouted yet, but already my garden is deeply satisfying. As Emma squeals off in my car to the mall or soccer practice, I serenely wave to her from my garden as I spray a gentle mist of water lovingly over my beds. Those seeds need me! I just hope I can tell the difference between my emerging crop and the weeds.
Here are some pictures of the transformation. With any luck I'll be bringing you tomatoes in a month or two.

We started with removing English ivy and arborvitae, and by Fall 2008, we finally had also removed all of the grass, mostly by sheet-mulching. We now have over 100 species of plants, focusing on Willamette Valley natives, plants that attract beneficial insects, and some edibles. Our yard has been a Gold level Certified Backyard Habitat since July 2011.
The shady part is the mostly-native area, complete with a constructed dry creek bed which handles overflow from some of our rain barrels in Winter. We now have ten rain barrels scattered all around the house!
The small sunny part of our back yard has vegetable beds, plus a spiral herb mound. John and I enjoy gathering and eating food that we've grown ourselves.
Getting started with gardening in the front yard.
In Fall 2004, I started sheet-mulching by covering an area near our front steps. This was the beginning of the transformation from monoculture (grass) to diversity.
John called it my "crop circle". On the far right, a view of the same area in Fall 2006. The plants in this photo include lavendar, thyme, chard, burning bush, calendula, red osier dogwood, oxalis, yarrow, gingko, and arctic willow.
Collecting and using rainwater. In November 2004, we installed our first 50-gallon rain barrel next to the garage, shown here with our Tibetan terriers, Spike and Jones. As of March 2009, we have 10 barrels scattered around the house. For the first eight, we bought food-grade barrels from The Yoshida Group in Portland for $5.00 each, and installed fittings that we got from Division Hardware. The last two, in the front yard, are deluxe models from the Rainbarrel Man in Portland. We use the rainwater for watering vegetables during the summer, when it's hot and dry, and also occasionally for flushing the toilet during the rest of the year, when we have plenty of rain.
In 2009, I took the Master Gardener training in Portland. John and I made a video about our rain barrels to show on the last day of class. Click on the photo below to view the video.
Learning to grow our own food. In 2005, we took Connie van Dyke's "Introduction to Permaculture" at Luscher Farm, and then Connie's "Urban Farming" class at Portland Community College. Books we have been reading include Gaia's Garden, Square Foot Gardening, Growing Vegetables West of the Cascades, Gardening When it Counts, and The Maritime Northwest Garden Guide. (photo taken August 2005)
Building outdoor compost bins. In Summer 2005, a neighbor who was replacing her deck gave us enough cedar to build our three-section compost bin. John also built the flower cart! (photo taken June 2005)
Removing and replanting trees.
The hawthorne trees on our median strip were suffering from a chronic fungus, which left them almost leafless most of the year. The "before" photo was taken when we had them removed in December 2005. In January 2006 we planted a scarlet oak and a ginko. The "after" photo was taken in November 2011.
We also removed a row of arborvitate that had grown to over 15 feet tall along our property line in the back yard. I cut up the smaller branches of the arborviate and spread them out along a new walking path, and we sawed up the larger pieces for firewood.
Our first step in learning to change our bathroom habits was to follow the saying "if it's brown, flush it down; if it's yellow, let it mellow". Flushing with graywater was the next step. But now instead of flushing the yellow, I collect the free source of nitrogen and either put it in the compost, or dilute it 5:1 with rainwater and use it to water leafy plants.
The photo shows the water storage unit John made for water recycling. There is a grocery bag full of dried leaves and buckets for storing water. Beneath the containers is a towel, with a plastic liner underneath. When the lid of the storage unit is down, it makes a roomy place to put things while you're in the bathroom, and a good seat to use while putting on socks and shoes.
We were surprised when we saw our first water bill after we started using gray water -- it was about half the amount for the fall of 2004 when compared to the same period of time in 2003. Some of this decline is also due to our raised consciousness about water -- when you start collecting it, you notice how much you waste, and start making small changes to cut down. For example, just letting the water run while you wait for it to change from cold to hot can be as much as a gallon. We have far more than enough water in the winter -- the rain barrels are almost always full -- but the barrels didn't quite get us through the summer. We had to use tap water for the garden for about two weeks.
After I read The Humanure Handbook , I was convinced that I wanted to do humanure composting. But I was still afraid. I took a workshop from Ruby Bloom here in Portland, and went home with my own bucket toilet. Then my neighbor said he needed to get rid of a couple of composting bins, and suddenly I had everything I needed. So in May 2008, I started using the system. So far, so good.
Worm Composting. After 20 years of worm composting in two bins in our basement, we decided to give away most of our worms, and and put the rest of them in a Metro composting bin outside. We now add rough-chopped food scraps to this bin, and cover with shredded leaves. The worms are thriving there. Here's the story of our experience with worm composting in our basement.
We have always been good recyclers. In July 1999, we decreased our garbage pickup from weekly to once-a-month. I started worm composting simply as a way to help reduce garbage. Thousands of red wigglers lived in two bins in our basement. I gave away worms to many people so they could start their own composting bins.
This is the method I used for worm composting. I started out with a combination of leaves and dirt in the bins, which I guess is a little unusual, but has been very successful. I never had a problem with bugs or odor. It just smells like dirt. If you put an ear close to the bin, you could hear a lot of activity in there! I suppose this is a combination of the sounds of decomposition and the worms moving around.
I rough chop kitchen scraps and store them in open containers in the bottom drawer of the refrigerator.
About once a week, I put the scraps -- including torn-up coffee filters -- through my food processor and mix everything together into a big bowl. This takes about 10 minutes. The food processor is "on" less than a minute, and this effort speeds composting and keeps everything nice and tidy in the bins.
The worms lived in the basement in two plastic recycling bins. The bins have holes in the bottom, and are on wood blocks to allow for air circulation. I put half of the worm food in each bin, and then very gently use a hand rake to thoroughly cover the food with dirt and worm castings (some worms get moved around too). Each time, I put the food on the low side, and then mound the dirt up on that side, over the food.

The Australian Fresh Produce Alliance (AFPA) previously welcomed the announcement of a dedicated seasonal agricultural worker visa, which will reduce the industry’s reliance on working holidaymakers and enable the industry to better develop a productive and returning workforce.
âAs some of the largest employers in the industry, AFPA members have developed a 10-year perspective of their workforce needs. Long-term perspective reduces reliance on backpackers and focuses on better avenues for the employment of Australians, Pacific workers and new seasonal agricultural worker visa holders, âsaid Michael Rogers , CEO of AFPA.
AFPA calls on the government to implement a seasonal farm worker visa trial and focus on a group of registered employers, potential visa holders and countries of origin. A smaller-scale trial will also allow industry to work with relevant agencies to manage quarantine lanes for seasonal agricultural worker visa holders traveling to Australia.
Worker visa implementation
âIt is essential that we implement the seasonal agricultural worker visa this year to provide additional workers for the summer harvest and to support the structural workforce changes underway in the sector. A trial will quickly implement the government’s commitment while testing the parameters of the new visa program, âRogers said.
The closure of Australia’s international borders reduced the number of working holidaymakers in the country from more than 140,000 at the start of the pandemic to around 37,000. During the same period, more than 9,000 visa holders from the Seasonal Workers Program and the Pacific Pacific Work Program have addressed critical labor shortages in the horticulture, meat processing, manufacturing and accommodation sectors.
âRight now, there are more Seasonal Worker Program visa holders working in horticulture than ever before. This clearly demonstrates the changing direction of the industry towards a more reliable, productive and profitable workforce model. Going forward, the Seasonal Farm Worker Visa will be a key addition to Pacific workers and is essential in reducing overreliance on working vacationers.
Australia’s fresh produce industry is in the midst of a workforce restructuring and the adoption of new workforce planning and management. An increase in Pacific programs, along with the new seasonal farm worker visa, will form the backbone of the harvest workforce and lead to increases in productivity, compensation and long-term stability. . It’s good for the producers and good for the workers, âRogers said. | agronomy |

- Water early in the morning or later in the evening when temperatures are cooler. Save 25 gallons per day.
- Choose a water-efficient irrigation system, such as drip irrigation for your trees, flowers and shrubs. Save 15 gallons each time you water.
- Maintain your irrigation system. Check your sprinkler system frequently for leaks, and adjust nozzles so only your lawn is being watered and not the house, sidewalk or street. A well-functioning irrigation system can save 500 gallons per month.
- Water deeply, but less frequently to create healthier and stronger landscapes. Reduce water runoff onto sidewalk, streets, by watering as frequently as possible and for less time. For a free watering schedule, visit irwd.com. Save 12-15 gallons each time you water.
- Monitor the performance of your landscape and adjust the run times up or down accordingly. If your lawn does not spring back when stepped on, it’s time to water. Be sure to turn off your irrigation system when it rains, and depending on rainfall wait to restart. Save 1,100 gallons per irrigation cycle.
- Consider investing in a weather-based smart controller. These devices will automatically adjust the watering schedule based on soil moisture, rain, wind and evaporation and transpiration rates. Check with your local water agency to see if there is a rebate available for the purchase of a smart controller. Save 40 gallons per day.
- Replace your lawn with drought-resistant trees and plants. These plants are well suited for California’s mild winters and dry summers. They are low maintenance, use less water and don’t require soil preparation or fertilizing. Remember to contact your association and obtain prior architectural approval, if necessary. Save 30-60 gallons each time you water per 1,000 sq. ft.
- Plant the right plants for your climate. Use the Save Our Water-Wise Garden Tool to learn what plants and flowers will work best in your neighborhood. Or, download a free copy of A Homeowners Guide to a WaterSmart Landscape.
- Put a layer of mulch around trees and plants to reduce evaporation and keep the soil cool. Organic mulch also improves the soil and prevents weeds. Save 20-30 gallons each time you water per 1000 sq. ft.
- Avoid using water for outdoor clean-up. Use a broom to clean driveways, sidewalks, and patios. Wash cars with a bucket, sponge, and hose with self-closing nozzle. Save 8-18 gallons per minute.

Now he’s bringing that success back to his hometown by opening Floyd’s of Lancaster Cafe and stepping up to purchase Pennsylvania-grown hemp for use in Floyd’s of Leadville products.
The cafe will serve coffee and small plates, with the full range of Floyd’s of Leadville CBD products available for purchase. Additionally, the cafe will contain a mini-shop dedicated to the new Panasonic-powered eBike range from Van Dessel. The relationship with Van Dessel is an outgrowth of their sponsorship of Floyd’s Pro Cycling team, but Landis’ primary interest is in improving community access to sustainable transportation and low-impact exercise offered by eBikes.
Similarly focused on improving his hometown community is Landis’ announcement that Floyd’s of Leadville will be making significant purchases from the Pennsylvania hemp farming community. Pennsylvania is well known for farming but recent years have seen farmers falling on hard times. With the passage of the 2018 Federal Farm Bill legalizing hemp, farmers are quickly turning to hemp to as a more profitable crop than corn or dairy.
Transitioning to a new type of agriculture with complex new markets is a big undertaking for small farmers, but Landis and his business partners have deep roots in the Pennsylvania agricultural community and are intent on sharing their knowledge of the hemp economy and the stability offered by the purchasing power of Floyd’s of Leadville.
It’s Landis’ hope that Floyd’s of Lancaster cafe and his purchasing initiative will provide a positive economic force centering around hemp, cycling and a more sustainable agriculture for the Pennsylvania community.

oil is a humble yet vital part of the diet of millions of people
around the world, and especially is this so in the Mediterranean
region of which North Cyprus is a part. Many people see olives
and the rich oil extracted from them as some sort of wondrous
elixir that guarantees a long and healthy life. The amazing
qualities attributed to eating olives and drinking the oil
appear so beneficial, so important for health and strength that
for many people they are the difference between life an death!
This is the
time of the olive harvest in North Cyprus and all the figures
thus far suggest that the harvest this year has been
particularly good. Harvest time usually begins sometime in
October, when the early green olive first fruits are gathered
either by shaking the branches over sheets spread on the ground
around the tree, or by individually picking the olives by hand.
olives for oil or treating them for consumption as black or
green olives at the breakfast table usually lasts until around
the month of March. This year the harvest of "black
gold" as olives are sometimes described is unlikely to
reach the record crop of 1999, when 8,000 tonnes were harvested,
but growers are happy that despite poor rainfall during the
year, their trees have again produced well.
lack of proper marketing and sales technique reduces profits
have in part been dealt with by bringing in new pressing
equipment from Italy. This means that processing will go faster,
helping growers to reach their markets quicker. Most growers in
North Cyprus sell their olives to be pressed, feeling that there
is a better market for the oil rather than for the familiar
black or green olives that adorn the tables of most
So what is it
about olive oil that makes some people drink down a glass of it
with their breakfast every morning? The high consumption of
olive oil around the world makes it clear that for countless
consumers it has become more than an indispensable part of their
diet. Most food experts, dieticians and health-conscious agree
that olive oil contains elements that fight cholesterol, help to
reduce blood pressure and by reducing fats in the blood, lower
the risk of heart attacks. These almost miraculous qualities of
olive oil have long been recognised by people living in the
Mediterranean countries, and the diet they follow has come to be
seen as a vital contribution to health.

Olive oil is
also hugely versatile. In the past, the oil was used for
cooking, lubricating, medicinal purposes, cosmetics and fuel.
Often mixed with exotic perfumes, olive oil was frequently used
as a balm for the skin, applied after bathing or after long
hours spent under the sun. History tells us that being anointed
with the oil was an honour worthy of kings. In fact, olive oil
was once so valuable that it was used as a form of currency, or
given as an expensive gift. The soothing qualities of olive oil
eased the pain of minor wounds and the bruises of everyday life.
It was used in the embalming and preservation of the bodies of
the rich and the famous.
Even in this
modern era, olive oil has lost none of its usefulness. It is
still used in cosmetics and some lubricants. The residue after
processing is often used as cattle food. It is still a major
source of vital vitamins and other essential trace elements.
Further, olive oil is used in detergents and in the textile
industries. Its popularity has grown worldwide and is recognised
as a vital food in regions far beyond the Mediterranean
countries. Especially as its high vitamin E content is thought
to reduce the ravages of the passing years. Even the wood of the
tree is still valued as a high quality hard wood with a fine
grain that is ideal for turning, with cut-offs and small
branches used for fuel.
addicts are warned however that olive oil is not the total
answer to all their health problems. It is still one hundred
percent liquid fat and every tablespoonful contains about 125
calories. Whether "light" or not, olive oil can be
very fattening and is unlikely to have more than a fairly
limited role in maintaining the overall health of our bodies.
It seems that the
often gnarled and gray branches and trunks of the fairly small
olive tree were first cultivated for their olives about six
thousand years ago in areas of the Middle East. They have been
cultivated on the island of Cyprus for four thousand years or
so. This slow growing, but long living evergreen takes about ten
years to grow to maturity, but after that it yields olives for
perhaps hundreds of years.
maximum production the tree needs stringent pruning every ten
years or so, cutting right back to the main branches. This
rejuvenates the tree and crops can be expected to increase to
full capacity within three years.
Cyprus, as in other Mediterranean countries the olive tree can
be seen everywhere, in the wild and under cultivation. Usually
favouring well drained sunny hillsides, olive trees can nevertheless
thrive in backyards and flat plain lands.
The nurture and
care of olive trees is a matter of some skill. Although olive
trees can live and produce olives for hundreds of years, they do
need skilful pruning and without attention they can soon die
off. This has been the case in North Cyprus, but now that young
trees planted and have started to produce, growers are hoping
once again North Cyprus region will be a serious Mediterranean
producer. Some estimates suggest that there are about 800
million olive trees under cultivation around the world, and
nearly all of them are in the Mediterranean countries.
The first light
pressing of the olive yields the best oil, high quality
"virgin" oil. "Extra virgin" oil has a very
low acid content and is eagerly sought after. Apart from the
growers, people in North Cyprus who have their own trees also
like to process their own olives. The traditional ways are still
followed. Sometimes, the olives are individually nicked with a
knife to help in the soaking process before salting the olives
to preserve them. Often the olives are given a sharp blow
with a stone and these crushed olives (called
Chakistes) take on
a special flavour of their own mixed with olive oil lemon juice,
garlic cloves and coriander seeds. Other methods produce the
familiar salty black olives that add so much flavour to meals
Black and crushed Chakistes olives at a market stall
olives have enjoyed a never failing popularity, one that
continues to grow as more and more people come to appreciate
this source of `black gold' and come to enjoy the richness that
olives bring to their diet. Olives have long been recognised as
a symbol of good living and their miraculous oil can indeed
restore us in some measure that elusive good health which we are
all searching for.

Types of Solar Pumps
When it comes to solar water pump solutions, there are two main types that are commonly used: surface pumps and submersible pumps.
Surface pumps are installed above ground and are well-suited for moving large quantities of water at a slow pace. These pumps are commonly used in agricultural and irrigation systems, where they can efficiently distribute water across expansive fields. Surface pumps are designed to be durable and capable of handling the demands of continuous operation.
Submersible pumps, on the other hand, are installed underground with the solar panels connected above ground. These pumps are typically used to extract water from wells or ponds and bring it to the surface for various purposes. Submersible solar water pumps offer the advantage of being more discreet, as they are hidden underground and, therefore, do not disrupt the visual landscape.
A solar pumping system consists of several components, including solar panels, a controller, and the pump itself. Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into electricity, which is then used to power the pump. The controller regulates the power flow and ensures the system operates efficiently. The pump is responsible for moving the water and has various impeller designs to suit different applications.
The solar drive is an integral part of the system, as it converts the direct current (DC) voltage input from the solar panels into a three-phase alternating current (AC) output. This conversion is necessary to control the speed of the motor and adjust the pump’s impeller speed. The size of the photovoltaic (PV) system is directly dependent on factors such as the size of the pump, the water requirement, and the available solar irradiance.
Now, let’s take a look at a comparison table of the main features and advantages of surface pumps and submersible pumps:
|Well and pond extraction
|Visible above ground
|Slow pace, large water quantities
|Efficient water extraction
As you can see, both surface pumps and submersible pumps have their unique advantages and are suitable for different applications. The choice between the two depends on factors such as the specific water requirements, installation location, and visibility considerations.
Economic Advantages of Solar Water Pump Solutions
Solar water pump solutions offer compelling economic benefits beyond their initial installation costs. These systems minimize operational expenses, reduce dependence on traditional power sources, and contribute to long-term financial savings.

The Quinta dos Murças olive grove is located at the edge of the vineyards near the Douro River, at lower elevation, with slopes so high that access becomes difficult. Although having unique characteristics, the traditional, non-mechanised and rainfed olive grove, which boasts trees over 50 years old, offers low levels of productivity. The olive grove is certified for organic production, and therefore no phytosanitary treatment is given and the harvest is carried out manually.
This crop year was characterised by a dry summer with high temperatures, weather conditions that lasted until mid-autumn, leading to a weak development of the olive fly. These abnormally high temperatures, along with some humidity in the early harvest, created optimum conditions for the development of anthracnose, a disease that is highly detrimental to the quality of the olive, and to which these two varieties are highly sensitive.
The speed of the harvest was crucial for obtaining high quality olive oils, so picking began in early November 2015.
The olives were transported in crates and received in the oil mill after the harvest, and were processed immediately. Extraction begins with the rapid milling of the fruit in stone mills.
Following milling, the resulting pulp is subjected to a short threshing at low temperatures so as to permit the release of the oil from the pulp cells and to preserve the characteristic flavours.
The pulp continues to the decanter, where the olive oil is separated from the olive press-cake and water, resulting in an olive oil that still contains some moisture and impurities. The oil is cleaned by centrifugation, and is thus ready to be filtered and packaged. Filtration is light in order to retain all its aromas and flavours.
Green fruit, complex, with hints of herbs, freshly cut grass, tomato vine, green almond shell and lavender.
Ripe, green fruit, not very spicy and very sweet with an aftertaste of dried fruit – nuts – very harmonious and complex.
A very elegant olive oil, with soft organoleptic characteristics. It should be used cold, ideal to finish a dish, a starter or even a dessert, such as a chocolate mousse or orange with honey.
To better preserve the characteristics of this natural olive oil, storage in a cool place protected from light is recommended.

My parents allotted me a patch of land in the back yard to grow my own garden. My father enjoyed taking photos of me as I tilled, and I enjoyed working with a rake.
To this day, I garden. I may have some ability at tilling, but that is a secondary consideration. To be outdoors smoothing the dark earth is to be almost without stress.
My wife also enjoys gardening. This year we have a big garden out back by our garage. We’ve planted lettuce, zucchini, tomatoes, garlic and radishes. I am probably one of the few people who like radishes. And I am still assigned the task of smoothing the dirt, this year purchased from Home Depot, with a rake.
Besides gardening, my wife likes travelling on vacation. Seven years ago we went to Jamaica. On the white sands of Jamaica I read the Georgics of the Roman poet Virgil. The Georgics is one of those hard to define works. Unlike Aristotle, I think that didactic works can be poetry, provided they are written in well-crafted imaginative verse. Following the lead of his older contemporary Lucretius, whose De Rerum Natura discoursed on philosophy and science, Virgil wrote a treatise on farming in the Georgics.
There has been much conjecture on why Virgil wrote this work. Some have speculated that Virgil’s patron the emperor Augustus wanted people go out from crowded Rome to the farms. But Virgil in person was said to have been somewhat countrified and awkward. He might have been something like the characters that Jimmy Stewart so often played in film. The eloquence that was his on papyrus eluded him in person.
But Virgil had come from the country, and was intimately familiar with the rigors and rituals of farming. He wrote in classic Latin of the seasons of the year, of the different crops and the rewards of a farmer’s life.
We, as a society, have gotten away from the basics. Farming is looked down upon. The farmer’s life is still hard physically, and heartbreakingly difficult economically. The Federal Farming Administration has been reduced to the F.F.A. because of the government’s alarming perception of farming’s stigma.
But of late a home-grown agricultural movement has cropped up. It appears in unexpected places. People grow vegetables on urban rooftops. In Brooklyn, a large number of people raise chickens in order to have their own eggs.
There are a number of reasons for this trend. The first, and most obvious one, is economic. In tough times, it is cheaper to grow your own food than to buy it. The second stems from health. The processed foods of stores and restaurants have caused us to become large and unhealthy. To eat home-grown vegetables is to receive nutrition without the fats, sodium and other additives offered us by the middlemen.
We may have become too urban or suburban, too tethered to technology to wholly return to the agricultural way of life. But to return to it even in small ways is to become healthier. Agriculture connects us with the cycle of life, and with our deepest roots. As a nation, we have gotten away also from work. A return to farming would again teach us the dignity of labor, and convince us of our inherent worth.
I hope the best for this year’s garden. We had a light winter, so we need rain. With enough rain, I will be able to eat tomatoes in August and zucchini bread in September.
So I hope for the rain, and for the rain of public awareness that will come to the new agricultural movement. The ground is ripe for it. | agronomy |

For example, poplar trees are farmed sustainably to yield energy harvests every 3 to 6 years. Poplar requires less water and other inputs than crops such as corn. After harvest, the tree re-sprouts from the same root stalk, a very efficient way to produce biomass.
Especially on marginal lands, energy crops that are not deemed invasive and do not require water may be an economical and a productive use of the ground to produce biofuel feedstock for torrefaction. | agronomy |

PONT published a call in May 2019 to address the first gap, inviting proposals by environmental actors that are active in the Wider Prespa Area in Albania, North Macedonia, or in both countries, and have interest in the cultivation, production, processing and marketing of NTFPs.
Following a rigid selection process, PONT awarded a grant to the Connecting Natural Values and People (CNVP) for a project concerning sustainable cultivation of medicinal and aromatic plants in the Wider Prespa Area to serve as a model of decoupling local economic development from harvesting of wild resources in the protected areas. The CNVP offices in Albania and North Macedonia will help local producers to establish new or build upon existing associations to advance the production and marketing of medicinal and aromatic plants.
Local women will be one of the most important beneficiaries of the project due to their successful involvement in producing and marketing NTFPs and other local produce in the past. The project furthers the achievements of previous initiatives in the Albanian part of the region, in particular the cultivation and marketing of the endemic mountain tea.
The ongoing Local Economic Development project, supported by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, will provide co-financing of the activities in the Albanian part, whereas PONT’s contribution will be used to replicate best practice in North Macedonia and to enable cooperation and transboundary exchange of knowledge. CNVP will open a local office in Resen to ensure the project is implemented effectively over a period of 15 months, starting from September 2019. | agronomy |

People’s Institute of Rural Development (PIRD), a not for profit organization registered under the Society Registration Act 1860 and Bombay Public (Charitable) Trust 1950, has been working in the Marathwada region of Maharashtra state in India since 1986. PIRD has, since inception, focused on women empowerment, child development, agriculture development and labor issues in the rural areas.
Share and Care Foundation, USA supported PIRD for INR 90,000/- as part of a project focusing on enhancing participation of women in agriculture. This grant support was to be utilized by PIRD within a period of 5 months.
Rationale of PIRD for initiating this project is the following issue analysis:
Agriculture still forms the backbone of Indian economy and is the source of livelihood for 65 % of India’s populace of all the people depending upon agriculture as their principal source of livelihood, 80 % are small and medium landowners. This results in-
Non-availability of economies of scale in agriculture for this category.
Dependence upon family members to fulfill the agriculture labor requirement.
of traditional agricultural practices along with “half-cooked” use of technological developments not only due to lack of appropriate information and training but also lack of knowledge regarding successful innovations and experiments related to agriculture.
Unavailability of inputs either on time or of desired quality.
Increasing population resulting in diminishing land holding for agriculture.
Subsistence agriculture along with some cash crop to generate cash income is still practiced by the majority. Even today the majority does not take up agriculture as a business.
A taken for granted aspect in Indian agriculture is compulsion for women family members to work as agriculture labor in the family farms (or as a daily wage earner in other farms to supplement family income) without having any say or role in decision making concerning the family farms or agriculture.
PIRD thus focused on enhancing women’s participation in agriculture by improving their information base regarding agriculture and motivating them to increase their participation in decision making regarding their family agriculture.
The grant worth INR 90,000/- from Share and Care Foundation, USA was received by PIRD on May 2007. PIRD started an informal work with the farmers from 2 clusters in Latur district of Maharashtra state. Kharif season is the most important agriculture season in Maharashtra as well as most of India. PIRD thus focused on informal dialogue and rapport building with farming families, especially women, during these 4 months. It was decided to take up formal training and information dissemination workshops after this busy agriculture season gets over.
This report thus focuses on the activities undertaken by PIRD during January to May 2008.
Informal dialogue with farmers, especially women members from family, during May to December 2007 in order to establish rapport.
Following formal activities undertaken during January to June 2008:
Village level information dissemination workshops in 6 villages with on an average 30 participants in each workshop.
Focus group meetings with women for organizing them into self interest groups in 6 villages.
105 women participating in agriculture and 30 farmers from 10 villages participated in the cluster level training workshops.
Learning tours to observe first hand and understand technological developments in agriculture and market farming practices.
Demonstration plots on production of organic fertilizers and manure in 7 villages.
Linkage with local agriculture department and subject experts.
A team of 2 field animators worked full time for a period of 5 months for this project. External subject experts and PIRD experienced team members supported them whenever the need arose.
Report in detail
May to December 2007:
PIRD on receipt of grant from Share and care Foundation, USA initiated informal dialogue with farmers and women members of families practicing agriculture from 2 clusters in Chakur tehsil of Latur district in Maharashtra state in India. This dialogue and understanding of concerns of women from farming families was undertaken during the months of May to December 2007. This dialogue was initiated with saving and credit societies formed by women; farmer interest groups; agriculture department local officials and agriculture experimenters from the region. This informal dialogue with diverse stakeholders resulted in:
Rapport building with women and farmers in 6 villages.
Sharing of purpose of project with diverse stakeholders.
Participation of diverse stakeholders in the project.
Clarity and refinement in training and information requirements of the project target group.
Effective planning of formal training and information dissemination workshops apart from learning tours and demonstration plots.
January to June 2008:
After the culmination of the main agriculture season following activities were undertaken as part of this project by PIRD-
Focus group meetings with women for organizing them into self interest groups in 6 villages. Main focus is women working on farms, hence special focus groups meetings were held with women from these villages. These meetings were conducted with women members of saving and credit societies as well as other village women. The purpose of conducting these meetings was to encourage the women to participate in information dissemination and training workshops apart from learning tours. These meetings also identified the specific information and training requirements of women regarding agriculture. PIRD promoted the organization of women into self interest groups so that in future these women could participate in decision making related to agriculture using the information and training obtained as part of this project.
Village level information dissemination workshops in 6 villages with on an average 30 participants in each workshop.
Based on the informal dialogue undertaken with the farmers and women, information dissemination workshops were undertaken in 6 villages on the following topics:
i. Realities of agriculture in the 21st century.-->Problem analysis of indebtedness in agriculture and ways to overcome the same.
Enhancing productivity and efficiency of agriculture.
Basics of agriculture as a business and not only subsistence.
Ways and means to enhance participation of women family members in decision making related to family farms.
Information was disseminated in the form of half-day workshops on these topics in 6 villages. Subject experts (external) and experienced team members of PIRD acted as resource persons in these workshops at the village level.
The participants shared the utility of these workshops for them and expressed their desire for further training on few subjects explored during the information dissemination workshops.
2 Cluster level training workshops. Based on the need expressed by the farmers and more importantly women participating in agriculture, 2 cluster level training workshops were organized. Each training workshop was for one working day. Training on following subjects was undertaken during the workshops:
Developments in agriculture inputs and methods of using them effectively.
Organic farming techniques.
Conservation of top fertile layer of soil.
Increasing agriculture productivity.
Methods and crop selection for market farming.
Techniques of marketing agriculture produce.
Off-farm activities to supplement agriculture income.
Processing at village level of agriculture produce.
Vilas Shete, TAA (tehsil agriculture assistant) of the local government; Shrirang Rokade (Agriculture expert); Khune; Chandrakant Katale (Organic Farming expert) and Prof. Badgire worked as external resource persons in these training workshops.
105 women participating in agriculture and 30 farmers from 10 villages participated in these training workshops.
Training on kitchen gardening for women. A 1-day training workshop on kitchen gardening was organized by PIRD for interested women and men from the project village. Mr. Rameshwar Kalwale, regional in charge of AFARM (one of the most experienced organization in Maharashtra on farming), trained the participants on importance, practicability, utility and techniques of kitchen gardening. In this workshop, conducted on 5th June 2008 at Chakur, 39 women and 19 men from 8 villages participated for the entire day and have promised to initiate kitchen gardening from this Kharif season. Vegetable seeds distributed to 105 families after the training programme to start kitchen gardening activity.
Learning tours to observe first hand and understand technological developments in agriculture and market farming practices. These learning tours were conducted in two phases. To enhance the impact of information and training workshops conducted, PIRD organized collective learning tours for farmers and women participating in agriculture.
In the first phase learning tours were taken to:
Mixed crop farming undertaken by Shesherao Mokashe in Anjansonda (Kh) village to understand various techniques of and results from mixed crop farming.
Vermi-compost production unit developed by agriculture department at Chakur tehsil to understand techniques of vermi-composting.
Satyasai horticulture farming site near Chakur tehsil to understand techniques of and profits from horticulture
Organic farming done by Maharashtra government award winner Bharat Yerme in order to understand the practical techniques, relevance and utility of organic farming.
20 women and 5 farmers of 5 villages from the project area participated in these learning tours.
In the second phase learning tours were taken to:
Mixed crop farming undertaken by Balaji Chetalbone in Chakur village to understand various techniques of and results from mixed crop farming.
Horticulture and market farming undertaken by the Bhalke couple in Shelgaon village to understand practical utility and ways of undertaking vegetable and fruit farming for market.
Nursery and vegetable farming undertaken on the drainage water of Chakur town by Ashatai Waghmare to understand involvement of and practical difficulties faced by woman farmer and micro-entrepreneur.
75 women and 20 male farmers from 7 villages of the project area participated in these learning tours.
Demonstration plots on production of organic fertilizers and manure in 7 villages. To promote organic farming and substitute chemical based fertilizers, PIRD demonstrated production of organic fertilizers and manure in 7 villages using latest scientific techniques developed by agriculture universities in Maharashtra. In these demonstrations, PIRD encouraged women to participate more since this (production of organic fertilizers) can be a source of livelihood for them in future. 129 women and 78 male farmers participated in these demonstrations on organic fertilizers. PIRD requested Mr. Chandrakant Katale (an authority on organic farming) to demonstrate the basics and nuances of organic farming, especially production of organic fertilizers. He participated in all the seven villages and answered all the queries of the participants.
Based on this experience gained by PIRD while undertaking this project, PIRD concludes that information dissemination and training workshops is a start… The information and knowledge received by farmers and women has equipped them with options to existing patterns of agriculture. However, PIRD feels that these project participants would need handholding support in future to bring into practice the knowledge gained as part of this project.
PIRD would concentrate on:
Making agriculture efficient and productive.
Developing women initiated and managed agriculture produce processing units at village / cluster level.
Increasing crop diversity in order to achieve food security at household level.
Promote organic farming.

HIGHEST COMMODITY ARRIVALS OF INDIA (NIZAMABAD MANDI)
The Agricultural Market Committee, Nizamabad came into existence under Hyderabad Market Act on 29-01-1938. As per the A.P. Markets Rule 1966, the Notified area of Agricultural Market Committee, Nizamabad comprises on the following (06) mandals, notified market area is 20 km radius around the Agril. Market Committee, Nizamabad. It has 68.00 Acres of land where all the required amenities are provided for the use of stakeholders i.e., Farmers, Commission Agents, Traders, and other market functionaries.read more
Crop Arrivals: Major commodities notified by the Market committee are Paddy, Maize, Turmeric, Soyabean, Onion, Pulses, Oil Seeds, Amchur & Others.
Implementation of eNAM: For the start of eNAM, awareness and farmer orientation programmes were organized at all administrative levels. Widespread publicity was given through conduct of meetings, gram sabhas, distribution of pamphlets and information brochures, audio-visual aids and through print, electronic media.
Teams of officers drawn from agriculture, marketing and revenue were formed at all functional levels with the active involvement of public representatives. Three district level, six divisional level, and 30 Tahsil level training programs were organized for farmers on the availability of facility at the market yard.
District administration has taken up several brains storming interactive sessions with stakeholders of the market yard. During these sessions concerns raised by the stakeholders have been listed out and a three-phased action plan involving several reforms was evolved. While making surprise visits to the market and interacting with farmers, traders and officials.
A NEVER BEFORE TRADE EXPERIENCE
MuskuVidyasagar, Resident of the velkatoor village, Balkonda Mandal, Aged 45 years old. He owns Seven (7) acres of land and is having 20 years of experience in agriculture and agriculture marketing. He cultivates Paddy, Maize, and Soybean cropsread more
Sri. Vidyasagar has been a seller in the market yard Nizamabad for last 15 years and all through, he was made to perform sale activity through Commission Agents. He has been a witness to open manual auction, Electronic, eNAM, and e NAM (Direct Purchase) modes of selling in the market yard. He witnessed weighment of produce on beam scales to automatic electronic weighing machines.
Further, as he narrated that “he never had access to prices of commodities of other markets” and he used to stay back in the market yard for two to three days till completion weighment and wait 20 to 30 days for receiving his payment as there was total lack of transparency in price realization and deductions made by commission agents.
It was understandable that he was made to sell his produce at the rate offered by the local purchaser, never offered clarity on deductions made and the purchasers have been offering lower rates showing the reason of the presence of high moisture content in the Agriculture produce brought by him.
Vidyasagar sold 26.16 quintals of soya white in eNAM (Direct Purchase center) saved an amount of Rs.1427.00 through additional commission and Rs.1501.00 by way of reduced hamali charges. On a quantity of 26.16 quintals, he received a benefit of an amount of Rs.2929.00 in a single transaction of produce worth Rs 70,000.00(approx). Thus, by selling away his 270 quintals of Soya Vidyasagar has become richer by more than Rs 30,000.00 off his agri produce in 2016, which otherwise would have gone to fill coffers of Commission agents. Further, he received the payment for the produce within 24 hours of selling through online transaction.
Vidyasagar expressed his happiness and gratitude in delightfully stating that “it was a never before market experience walking away home with more money than the expected in a hassle free transaction on the same day of selling, which I never even dared to dream of. He further expressed that he realized the importance of producing quality produce and adopting better post-harvest practices for discovering higher price per produce. Thanks to eNAM and District administration”. | agronomy |

This has allowed us to increase the variety of products we offer in our produce department on a year round basis, and our ‘Organic Select’ produce is carried at all Pete’s locations.
People comment that organic produce has more flavour. However, organic produce often spoils quicker because there is no use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers or preservatives that extend shelf life.
Why is organic food more expensive?
The cultivation process is more laborious and products often have a shorter shelf-life, leading to higher prices in many organic foods. | agronomy |

Because Our Clients Come First, RESCOMIND has developed a list of FAQ’S to make your Sod Installation Experience more Enjoyable.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
1. Is a sod lawn less work?
Yes. A professional sod lawn needs no special care because it is already a healthy, mature lawn when installed, whereas a sprigged or seeded lawn requires years of nurturing to reach maturity. After installation, just water, mow and fertilize as needed for a healthy, green carpet of grass.
2. Where can I use sod?
Sod can be installed practically anywhere. It’s often used to stop soil erosion and water pollution on slopes where rain would wash away both seed and sprigs.
3. Can sod withstand heavy usage?
Certainly! Sod establishes itself quickly. In a couple of weeks, it’s ready for full use.
4. When can I install a sod lawn?
Sod has revolutionized the lawn business. Now you can install a sod lawn anytime during the year when the ground can be tilled. There is no need to wait for the “right” season to put in your lawn.
5. Is sod a good investment?
Yes. It’s the only way to go from bare dirt to lush, green lawn in just hours. It’s relatively inexpensive to use, increases the value of your property significantly, and even more so aesthetically.
6. How will sod affect our environment?
Sod cools and cleans the atmosphere by reflecting the sun’s heat and absorbing noises, carbon dioxide and other harmful pollutants. An average front lawn has the cooling effect of 70 tons of air conditioning.
7. How much fertilizer should I use?
Fertilizer will depend on climate, sod type and soil. For fertilizer and maintenance requirements, consult your sod dealer.
8. How often do I have to mow?
Mow often, generally removing no more than 1/3 of the grass height at a mowing. Keep your mower blade sharp. Consult your dealer for mowing recommendations for your type of lawn.
9. How long do I water my established grass?
Water long enough to wet the top eight (8) inches of soil. If the soil is compacted and/or the slope causes the water to run off prior to soaking in, it may be necessary to water several times with a +/- hour gap between waterings to put on sufficient water without excessive runoff or standing water.
10. How Often Do I Need to Water?
Water just frequently enough to avoid wilt. The symptoms of wilt are a bluish tint showing in the grass leaves and walking across the lawn results in foot prints that remain because the leaves are crushed and do not spring back.
11. What is Wrong When One Area of my Lawn is Bluish Colored?
A blue-gray area is a sign of water stress. Place like-size containers in that area and another in a green area. Water for 15 minutes, and then measure both containers. If the dry area is not getting the same amount of water, adjust the sprinkler heads.
12. How Important is Ground Prep?
VERY important! A little extra work and money invested in soil preparation before you plant your lawn can continue to pay big dividends long after the memory of planting your lawn has faded. A good base will promote a healthy root system, which is the most important factor in starting and maintaining a beautiful, low maintenance lawn.
13. Can Hybrid Bermuda Grow in the Shade?
No. Bermudas need full sun in the hottest part of the day (10 am to 3 pm). Our St. Augustine sod will grow in partial shade.
14. Can We Walk On Our New Sod?
It is best to give the sod an opportunity to firmly establish before heavy usage. That will prevent indentations in the moist soil and allow the roots time to grow deep.
15. Can Dogs Cause Yellow Spots in my Lawn?
YES - dogs leave a large quantity of urine in one spot. The salt in the urine burns the grass. Hybrid Bermuda grass normally recovers within two weeks. To prevent urine burn, give your dog METHIGEL, a natural vitamin available through a veterinarian.
16. How Much Above Grade Should I Set Sprinkler Heads?
Set "pop up" sprinkler heads level with grade up to 1/2" above grade. Your sod will come within +/- one half inch of soil, so if the heads are more than 1/2" above grade they can be damaged by objects that hit the ground such as the knives on a verticutter. Make sure sprinklers you use pop up at least 2 inches so the spray pattern is not hindered by tall grass.

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a biopolymer produced, among others by some acetic acid bacteria strains. Due to its unique properties, bacterial cellulose is used as a substitute for plant cellulose. The ability to absorb various compounds and permeability to liquids and gases caused that BC is mainly used in medicine as a wound dressing and drug carrier. In recent years, there has been an increased interest in this biopolymer as a material with potential to be the basis of biodegradable food packaging enriched with bioactive substances. Plant extracts are products obtained from plant raw material by extraction the desired component with a solvent. Essential oils are aromatic substances of plant origin, accumulated in the secretory tissues of the plant as the end product of metabolism. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of bacterial cellulose produced by the strain Gluconacetobacter hansenii ATCC 23769 soaked with 20% and 50% of aqueous solutions of plant extracts (tulsi, brahmi, blackberry, lemon, nettle root, nettle leaves) as well as essential oils (cinnamon, mint, sage, clove) on growth of choosen Cronobacter sp.: C. muytjensii, C. sakazakii, C. condimenti, C. turicensis and C. malonaticus The antimicrobial activity of BC soaked with the active componed was tested using the disk diffusion method. In addition, the water activity of dry cellulose and the absorption capacity of extracts and oils by BC were tested. The aqueous solutions of the extracts, at a concentration of 20%, showed no antimicrobial activity against the tested strains. For 50% aqueous extracts, only brahmi showed moderate growth inhibitory activity for five of the seven tested strains. The tested strains were characterized by significant sensitivity to cinnamon oil, moderate for clove and peppermint oils, while sage oil turned out to be a weak growth inhibitor of the tested Cronobacter strains. The results of measuring the absorption capacity of plant extracts by cellulose showed that this biopolymer best absorbed the extract of brahmi, lemon, nettle root and leaves. In the case of the absorption of essential oils, it was observed that clove and mint oils were well absorbed by biocellulose. The present study showed that bacterial cellulose is a good carrier of bioactive substances contained in plant extracts and essential oils. Thus, it is possible to develop biodegradable packaging based on bacterial cellulose enriched with bioactive substances. The obtained results allow to plan further studies aimed at characterizing the properties of various types of BC in view of their ability to absorb various substances. In addition, it is reasonable that further studies should focus on the optimization of the concentration of selected bioactive components inhibiting microbial growth in food products. | agronomy |

Fattoria La Vialla is an idyllic farm and winery run by the famiglia Lo Franco nestled in the Apennine mountains in Tuscany. Their wine, pecorino cheese, olive oil, tomatoes and other outstanding products are available by mail order direct to consumers in the UK, as well as the USA, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and directly at the bottega on the farm. Most interestingly, Fattoria La Vialla also happens to be a teaching, working example of a successful organic and biodynamic farm with a strong commitment to nature, biodiversity, and the environment.
Over the course of two visits we have documented the extraordinary operation and got to know the people that make this place and its products so special. It became quickly apparent to us how everything is connected at Fattoria La Vialla – from the wildflowers to the bees, the compost to the grape vines, the sunshine to the solar panels, the olive groves to the olive oil, May’s rainfall to August’s tomatoes. Every element of this organic and biodynamic farm and winery is part of one living, thriving, organism. | agronomy |

RAI Amsterdam is taking its event for horticultural technology professionals to Mexico. RAI Amsterdam sees this as a logical step, as Mexico is a major agricultural producer, the number of hectares under protected agriculture is growing exponentially and it is the gateway to the US, Canada and South America.
Mariska Dreschler, director of Horticulture GreenTech: "We believe that with GreenTech Amsterdam as a global platform we should reach out to the emerging markets in the world. We need a regional platform in the western part of the world to meet the regional needs of the growers. By organising GreenTech Americas, we are able to address the specific needs of the growers and suppliers from this emerging region. Looking at, for example, the specific climates, the producers and consumer needs, we believe that GreenTech Americas will complement the portfolio of the domain Horticulture strategically."

The actual goal regarding tree injections is to utilize your trees organic transport process to deliver needed nutrients, fertilizers and fungicides into the regions where they can be utilized immediately by the tree.
As an example, if you want to successfully treat root decay in an avocado tree, the actual phosphate fungicide applied has to arrive at the actual root system.

The San population knows and uses this plant since thousands of years to prepare the delicious rooibos drink.
Rooibos cultivation and production
Since 1995 the farmers cultivate rooibos according to the guideline of the organic agriculture. Once a year, the farmers collect the extremity of the bush; the leaves get cut and fermented: just like the process for black tea. Without this fermentation, the rooibos wouldn’t be red and wouldn’t have that typical, delicious taste.
The drying takes place under the sun first and then in a drier. To end up the process, the dried leaves got sifted.
The Heiveld farmers pick up the leaves by hand.
The Heiveld cooperative
On January 2001, fourteen men and women of South Bokkeveld founded the Heiveld cooperative with a capital of 140 dollars. Solidarity, democratical structures and self-determination helped the farmers to protect themselves against the big rooibos plantations, which are their direct competitors.
The competitors possess enormous fields and a significant capital to mechanize the cultivations and they pay very low salaries to their employees.
The relationship with fair trade companies like Erboristi Lendi and the sales in South Africa have permitted a reasonable economic development to the cooperative. A part of the members has just little fields and the cooperative helps them offering a place in the making of the product.
Their confidence has growth at the same pace of the economic success. Women began to cultivate their own fields and now they can arrange their own money. Men and women work together and are also improving using pc and learning accounting.

Fermentation process of the rooibos.
Rooibos tea shows copper red shades and has a full-bodied, quite fruity taste. It is possible to prepare one liter of tea using three teaspoons of rooibos. It is necessary to leave it to infusion for 5 – 10 minutes and it can be enjoyed with milk or honey.
We do not use any seasoning – neither “natural” nor “nature-identical” substances – in order to give to the rooibos a new aromatic taste. Lemongrass, vanilla and essential oils offer us a lot of possibilities to create new flavours.

We drastically reduce the water content and increase the dry matter content from 5% to up to >80%.
We offer 3 services with different objectives:
1. reNPK Natural: This processing extracts up to 50% of the dry matter from aqueous slurries. On request, directly on site. As a result, we deliver a nutrient-rich, stab-resistant substrate that can be used directly as fertiliser or composted further. In the process, we extract a maximum of N, P and K components from the sludge and remove these substances as well as solids in general from the return flow.
2. Sludge-to-Soil is our process of converting high water holding sludge into a CIRCULAR HUMUS – our natural peat substitute product containing the nutrients from organic waste. Our highly water retentive SPONGE SOIL is particularly suitable for agriculture and horticulture on poor soils and in dry growing areas. The peat-like properties make it a natural substitute for raised bog peat and thus contribute to the protection of bogs.
3. Compost accelerator: Another process option provides a compost accelerator. The water content of the sludge is quickly reduced, the resulting substrate is subsequently able to absorb water from other waste streams and thus provide a balanced and favourable climate for the bacteria in a composting process. | agronomy |

Does your cat go crazy over catnip? Does he roll on the floor and zip across the living room in utter frenzy? This plant is like kitty crack to most felines! It can make them behave in ways that are both euphoric to them and hysterical to us.
You can buy catnip in a variety of forms, from stuffed toys to baked goods; from catnip-infused treats to bulk containers. No matter what form it takes, your cat likely goes gaga over it. If you are like most cat owners and go through catnip in no time flat, a cheaper approach is growing your own catnip. Your team at Oakland Veterinary Referral Services is here to tell you how!
Simple Steps to Growing Your Own Catnip
If you wonder how to keep the catnip in stock without breaking the bank, a cheap, easy solution is to grow your own. Growing your own catnip is the perfect choice for those with or without a green thumb since it flourishes once you have it established.
Catnip, Nepeta cataria, is a member of the mint family. Catnip is an aromatic plant that you can grow indoors and out. If you have cats in your neighborhood, chances are they will come into your yard if you have catnip in the garden bed. You can find catnip at most garden centers as seeds or starter plants.
To get your garden or container ready for growing your own catnip, follow these steps.
- Purchase your seeds or starter plants. Typically, one packet will be enough for an indoor container, or you can use more for a garden bed. Save leftover seeds in a dark, cool place for future plantings.
- Spring is the best time to plant if you are opting for an outdoor area. If you are planting indoors, choose a bright, sunny window for your planter, or use an artificial source of bright light.
- Choose a better quality potting soil or compost and make sure your container has good drainage. Amend garden beds with organic compost or soil appropriate for an edible garden.
- Space each plant or seed approximately 12-18 inches apart to prevent overcrowding.
- Water thoroughly without drenching and keep the soil moist but not wet until sprouts appear, then water when the topsoil becomes dry to the touch.
- If there are multiple seedlings sprouting up together, thin them by pinching out the extras so that each new seedling has enough room to grow.
- Once your plants start to fully develop, re-pot extra plants into different containers using well-draining soil.
- Water frequently, but let the soil to dry between watering.
It’s as easy as that!
Final Steps in Preparing Your Catnip
Once your catnip is thriving, you can clip the plant and dry it out on newspaper or in a paper bag, then store in an airtight container for ongoing use. Fresh catnip can also be appealing to your cat and he will get similar euphoric effects as with the dry.

Botsford Station was full of seeds, soil and green thumbs Saturday afternoon as the local food education series, hosted by Post Carbon Greater Moncton, kicked-off.
About 12 Monctonians showed up to get their hands dirty and learn how to grow plants, vegetables and fruit organically, from the comfort of their front porch or backyard.
It was the first of five upcoming workshops, and next one, concerning food conservation, will be held in the fall.
Michel Desjardins, spokesman for the group, says a food forum, held in March, was the catalyst in the creation of the workshop series.
"First off, we are group of about 150 people focused on reducing our carbon footprint and so we hosted the forum, where about 100 locals agreed that there needed to be more educational activities in the city about local food." | agronomy |

It is a rich source of minerals, vitamins, pigments and phytonutrients. All of these together make spinach very beneficial for a number of vital processes. Due to the vast range of benefits from this vegetable, it is advisable to consume spinach on a regular basis. Spinach is a member of the Aramanthaceaefamily and its scientific name is Spinacia oleracea. One of the biggest reasons why spinach is so important and valued around the world is that it is very durable. It can even survive through the winter and be just as healthy in the spring.
Spinach is native to the Middle East, and was cultivated in Persia thousands of years ago. From there, it was brought east into China, approximately 1,500 years ago. It made its way into Europe a few hundred years later and quickly became a staple in a number of cultural cuisines. It can be eaten raw as a part of many salads, and it can also be cooked or sauteed down into a reduced form. This can be eaten as a side dish vegetable, or included in a number of recipes for soups, stews, and casseroles.
Nutritional Value of Spinach
The various health benefits of spinach are due to the presence of minerals, vitamins, pigments and phytonutrients, including potassium, manganese, zinc, magnesium, iron and calcium. Spinach is a green vegetable which has a very wide distribution. It can be grown as a back yard crop or bought from the market at affordable prices. It is a source of vitamins like folate, niacin, vitamin A, B6, C and traces of the rest of the essential vitamins. Other important elements, including thiamine and riboflavin, which are used in various reactions in our body, are also found in spinach. Spinach is also rich in pigments like beta carotene, lutein, xanthene, and chlorophyllin. The best part is that spinach has a low fat content. Spinach offers a wide range of benefits to most of our physiological processes, whether consumed in raw or cooked form. | agronomy |

Those of us wanting a future filled with possibility are planting right now. Leaders plant continually. We try new things and keep investing in some that we enjoy, while also cultivating what what is working. Always keeping an open mind to new ideas.
The best leaders are always learning listening and experimenting.
Varying duration is important
Leaders plant a variety of crops that mature in various conditions and duration. Leaders that fail to do this don’t have organizations very long.
Want to become the leader others want to follow?
If so, what you are planing right now will make a tremendous difference in your future and who might want to come with you. Whether we like it or not, what we plant multiplies and you can test it.
Before planting, consider who is it for and how long of a growing period you have.
Knowing who it is for and growing period help select the right crop.
Obviously, when we need a harvest in a short period of time we have different options than when we have years. Let’s examine 3 separate time periods.
1) Short term
A radish is a wonderful choice if you need a product available in a few days. I typically plant them as an early crop when the temperatures are cool. The seeds germinate quickly and in less than 1 month we can begin eating them.
2) Intermediate term
A product with more sustenance and one that requires more effort to produce are field crops.
Take hay for example. We use that to feed our livestock. Making hay can take up to 8 months and only after cutting and drying can it be used.
While the process takes longer, we can store it and use the crop to feed many different types of animals over a longer period of time. Clearly there is benefit in producing a crop like this.
3) Long term
A longer term crop might be one that grows on a tree. Like an apple. Even the best grafted trees can’t produce until 3-5 years.
Planting for the long term today can provide new options for us in the future. What could it mean to your organization to have the benefits of a long term investment during tough economic times?
When we are thinking about building healthy organizations what crop is best?
Do we want radishes, hay or apples?
Leaders that build organizations that last, begin by selecting wisely for their people and customers so they have a continual harvest.
If we invest only in the long term, we may not survive long enough to enjoy it. In contrast, if we neglect the intermediate and long term for the sake of the short term we put the organization at risk.
We may find ourselves in a place where we don’t have a crop between seasons. Without planting with the future in mind, we may find ourselves with only radishes to eat. I don’t know many that would enjoy that outcome do you?
- Name one long term investment that might ensure the organization’s survival.
- What can you do to influence others to take action?
- What could you do today that will prepare your team for a difficult time coming in the next 6 months?

“The adoption of modern technologies in agriculture, such as the use of drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can significantly enhance risk and damage assessments and revolutionize the way we prepare for and respond to disasters that affect the livelihoods of vulnerable farmers & fishers and the country’s food security.”- José Luis Fernández (FAO Representative in the Philippines U.N)
Agriculture plays a significant role in the Philippine economy. In 2012, agriculture had a 32% share in the total employment which is roughly around 37 million Filipinos, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority . But it is dying. The agriculture sector is in dire need of extreme reforms. We strongly believe that improving the country’s agriculture performance will be the best key to inclusive economic growth.
The primary goal of our group is to provide farmers and growers with UAV technology that will drastically increase farm production while eventually decreasing dependency on the use of synthetic chemical fertilizers and pesticides with the use of organic fertilizers using foliar spraying technique to combat soil degradation. We want to create progress in the sustainable development of the country’s crop production were both farmers and the environment will benefit the most.
With the new UAV technology, it can effectively dispense granular seeds, fertilizers or pesticides on up to 4 hectares of land per hour, a task that would take 150 labors to complete. *(Operate with 10.5kg rice seeds/half hectare at 2.5m spread width, 6m/s flight speed).
A message from our Executive Director
"We want to make a difference, serving the community with the help of technology"
The use of innovative technologies in commercial applications has the potential to dramatically alter several industries, and, in the process, change our attitudes and behaviors regarding their impact on our daily lives. The emergence of drones challenges traditional notions of safety, security, privacy, ownership, liability, and regulation. With their ability to collect data and transport loads, drones are re-shaping the way we think and feel about our physical environment, thus, it is our goal to take advantage of this technology to serve the community, government & other non-profit organizations, one technology at a time.
Mr. Mukesh Menaria, MBA
Drones are overtaking the skies. You will have heard all about how drone technology is already revolutionizing various industries and sectors. But as drones become smaller, cheaper and faster, new solutions will be required to disable them. Quadgear Battle League is a first of its kind drone sports tournament that involves customized drones battling for survival inside the arena. This is a new kind of drone sports that we are initiating to give chance to those tech-savvy individuals to express their creativity in the field of drone technology while encouraging the development of counter-drone systems to provide sufficient safeguards to combat with new challenges and threats from illegal and irresponsible use of drones.

The 2007 wine vintage enjoyed a very particular climatic pattern, with an exceptionally early bud burst due to a particularly mild winter which reduced the period of plant dormancy. Flowering began around 5-10 May, approximately twenty days earlier than in 2006, and was followed – during the growth of the bunches and the berries – by a cool period with frequent rainfall. Though this slowed down the phenological cycle, it only partially reduced the advanced development of the preceding months. There was no rainfall in July, when the temperatures rose although the number of days of oppressive heat was considerably limited by constant ventilation and low relative humidity.
Healthwise, fungal attacks were limited and low in virulence, but a number of particularly hot days in July caused sunburn in some berries. Some vineyards in the areas of Dogliani and Mondovì were hit by hailstorms early in June, as was a limited part of the Barolo winegrowing area between the communes of Castiglione Falletto, Barolo and Monforte d’Alba at the end of the month. Though the ripening of the grapes was further delayed by slightly below-average temperatures in August, the harvest began around ten days earlier than in 2006. Picking began on 20 August for the earlier-ripening Pinot Noir and Chardonnay varieties used to produce sparkling wine cuvées, followed by Moscato, and gradually all the other grapes. The health of the grapes at harvest-time in the Langhe and Roero proved to be excellent, with an estimated 10-15% reduction in the yield.
Among the early-ripeners, very high concentrations of sugar were recorded in the Pinot Noir compared to the previous vintage, while for all the other varieties, such as Arneis, Chardonnay, Favorita, Sauvignon Blanc and Dolcetto, the average sugar content was the same as – or in some cases slightly lower than – in 2006, though with an optimal acid framework. The medium-late and late varieties – Barbera, Freisa, Nebbiolo and Pelaverga – also ripened relatively early, with a high concentration of sugar which was in line with last year’s data and capable of producing wines of excellent body and structure, colour and aromas.
Comments on the vintage
The grape-harvest began considerably earlier than usual in 2007, and the quality of the grapes was beyond all expectations.
The picking of Chardonnay began around 20 August, followed by the Sauvignon Blanc, Favorita, Arneis and Dolcetto. For the later varieties, the harvest commenced on 10 September, with Barbera followed ten or so days afterwards by the Nebbiolo on the right and left sides of the River Tanaro. The general situation on drawing off is particularly positive, with very good alcohol in the later varieties and average levels for the early-ripeners, along with balanced acid frameworks and very intense aromas. The 2007 vintage can be considered as “abnormal” in terms of its general climate, with a particularly mild winter, not too hot a summer, little rainfall, and a harvest resulting in a lower volume than usual, but offering excellent quality. | agronomy |

Beohar P. Separate Directorates have been functioning for the development of agro-raw materials like sugarcane, jute, tobacco, oilseeds, rice, millets, cotton, pulses, cashew-nuts, cocoa, areca-nut, spices etc. This was done by registering growers and refusing to register those deemed unsuitable, fixing producer prices, licensing buyers and exporters and establishing commodity boards, which often had exclusive responsibility for controlling the production and marketing, initially of individual crops. These conditions call for a type of agricultural development which at one time not possible, but which is now facilitated by modern science. Growing hybrid maize therefore required reasonable sale prices and low fertilizer costs for farmers. Features of the textbook The learning process is assisted within the text through the provision of a number of learning aids.
About the authors John W. The late colonial era administration's policy of limiting food controls to a few crops in selected areas was abandoned by the post-independence government in favour of greater intervention. Corruption and general inefficiency in statutory corporations including ADMARC resulted in a law limiting their directors to holding office for a two-year period, although this could be, and often was, renewed. Glossary - at the end of the textbook their is a ready reference to the most important terms and concepts.
Osborne, who served in this capacity until August It may be noted that as the stage of agricultural development cannot be very finely demarcated, the objectives of agricultural policy at a particular time, too cannot be defined rigidly. The book also suggests policy measures to improve the delivery of critical inputs and services and ensure the participation of marginal and smallholders in high-value chains. Thus, the farmers will have to take help of the middleman or dalal who take away a major share of the profit, and finalizes the deal either in his favour or in favour of arhatiya or wholesalers.

To fill up the vacuum created following the withdrawal of ADMARC, the Ministry of Agriculture launched a development programme to train agro-dealers preferably rural shop owners. This reform was not followed by any change in ADMARC's business activities or its conflicting roles as a marketing organisation and provider of development finance.
About the authors John W. In the first instance, this information was published, by the Project, as a series of proceedings, from workshops, and teaching manuals written by regional and international experts in the twin fields of food and agricultural marketing.
The and maize harvests were good, supported by large sweet potato Agricultural development and marketing book cassava crops, grown as the result of USAID projects to promote drought-resistant foods.
Congestion at a market in Abidjan A typical market in Africa Efforts to develop agricultural marketing have, particularly in developing countries, tended to concentrate on a number of areas, specifically infrastructure development; information provision; training of farmers and traders in marketing and post-harvest issues; and support to the development of an appropriate policy environment.
Moreover, even when they function, the service provided is often insufficient to allow commercial decisions to be made because of time lags between data collection and dissemination. In developing countries, there remains scope to improve agricultural marketing by constructing new retail markets, despite the growth of supermarkets, although municipalities often view markets primarily as sources of revenue rather than infrastructure requiring development.
ADMARC also lost the power to invest in new development projects, but remained under the influence of the government.
The power of the market model is employed to explain and predict economic phenomena and current events. South Africa, for example, started the National Agricultural Marketing Council NAMC as a response to the deregulation of the agriculture industry and closure of marketing boards in the country.
For most of the colonial period, statutory interference in the production and marketing of the crops grown on European-owned estate was kept to a minimum, and controls in the estate production if tea and tobacco were introduced at the request, or with the consent, of the settler associations responsible for these crops.
Instability of agriculture becomes more prominent in stage III because much of it occurs due to the developed nature of the industrial sector.
Ina long serving ADMARC chairman was convicted for misusing corporation property in his private businesses and of making large unauthorised loans to a private company in which he and family were involved.
Agriculture of various developed countries is included in this stage. The prose in the book is remarkably accessible to practitioners, students, and applied economists. Declining income and productivity per unit of an input is a common feature of this phase.

This kind of grading and quality control will help farmers to fetch a good price for quality products produced by them. This is agriculture in Phase III. In India more than 50 per cent of the agricultural produce are sold in these village markets in the absence of organised markets.

It was unable to store enough of grain to meet food needs in the lean season each year, unwilling to buy maize from smallholders in remote rural areas and without the capacity to import sufficient maize during national shortfalls to maintain prices.

I would guess he is around 30 now. I was living overseas with his parents when he was just a boy. I was surprised and happy to speak with him. He was writing because he had read my blog about Chilean apples and he just happens to now work for, a Chilean apple company. After all our family inquiry we discussed the importance of apple export to Chile as well as the high price people in Chile are even willing to pay for Washington apples during their off season. I knew that Chile had spent years developing their apple export business. I explained I have nothing against Chilean apples I just think they should eat their apples and we should eat ours. There are plenty of countries in South American to export to, right? Well not really he said. He said Chile depends on northern countries to import apples.
The issue here is not really apples. It’s about how apples fit into our theory of “living green”. We can not talk about fossil fuel consumption as if it is the devil, drive a Prius and then eat an organic apple with a 3,000 mile plus footprint. You’d be better off driving a Hummer and eating an organic mcintosh apple from upstate New York. The carbon footprint might actually be less with the Hummer scenario and you kept a farmer working in the good ol’ USA.
Another important point is we don’t need Chilean apples because apples store well in cold storage and it is easy to have a supply year round. We have done this for decades. There have always been apples in the store. What was exciting about autumn was the ‘new crop’ apples and the varieties that are not as suited for cold storage would hit the grocery shelves. Autumn was a true celebration of the harvest with grapes, corn, and pumpkins to follow.
Knowing where your food comes from is important. Even more important now. Every decision you make about food has a much larger impact on the global sustainability picture. I raised two boys, now 16 and 18, on only produce grown in the USA or in my garden. If half of us did just this the effect on our economy would be tremendous. Better management of our farms and more support for our small farmers would allow us to have a steady supply of home grown fresh produce all year long. This doesn’t mean we would not import some produce; spanish clementines are still one of my favorites, but we should support an agricultural system in the USA that supplies most of our needs.
Just to make some of you nervous, China grows half the worlds apples but botanically that’s logical because the apple originated in, China. Happy eating! | agronomy |

He made the call in Ibadan, Oyo state capital, on Tuesday, during a programme organised by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA).
The youth, from Nigeria, Cote d’Ivoire and Congo, graduated from diverse fields of agricultural discipline.
“You should buy products from each other,” Symington said.
“You are your own buyers and you should be your own internal buyers. Put together lessons learnt in the process. Each should learn from the mistakes and experiences of the other.”
Symington recommended the Ghanaian model of micro-finance where a village was transformed after villagers financed one another.
The ambassador said entrepreneurs may fail, but they have to pick up themselves.
He said: “You should also learn from the Silicon Valley maxim. In Silicon, they have an expression: ‘If you haven’t failed once, you are not in business.’
“You are like Silicon Valley. You will fall; pick yourselves up. Is there anyone who rides a bicycle for the first time without falling down?”
He added that the challenge of food production is important for Africa, saying every nation must encourage its youth to go into agriculture.
The EYA group, through Evelyn Ohanwusi, the interim head, had made a presentation to the ambassador on how it operates on a philosophy of “to grow crops, you must grow farmers” and how its goal is to reduce economic marginalisation of African youth through modernised agricultural technology. | agronomy |

We present the plants to people; you could say we represent them, since they were once a vital presence in human lives. It’s a gift, a present, to know about these things, that here in our surroundings (wherever you are is here) are other living things that not only express the nature of the place, but which can then become part of our lives, part of our memories, part of our bodies, part our daily routines as we notice, gather, cook and eat them. The funny thing is we then become a much more vital presence in the places where we live. Being present is a matter of being sensitive to, aware of what is here and responding to it. As we walk on by the living things we could eat, which are here, we are not here. We are in fact nowhere. But for those of us who are grasping once again the essence of life and knowledge for every other kind of creature- the ability to unlock what’s needed from the immediate space in which we live- we become creatures once again, by participating in the organic collage of our surroundings by eating wild food. And the world around us says: welcome home.
The undercurrent to our activities could probably be described as re-categorisation. In other words, taking plants out of the piles in peoples’ heads labelled variously ‘amorphous unidentified green stuff’, ‘weeds’, ‘possibly edible but I don’t dare risk it’ etc. and firmly relocating them in a new pile labelled ‘edible, delicious, nutritious’.
Up until now we have mostly dealt with top restaurants. These establishments showcase the work of very gifted chefs who these days seem to have great sway in influencing popular culture around food, in other words how and what people eat. Fortunately the same chefs have chosen in recent years to highlight and celebrate in their cooking wild plants which up until now have been largely ignored at best or at worst have been despised and rejected as noxious weeds. Imagine the extent of the turnaround here, where such plants, against whom an expensive war involving toxic and expensive chemicals (herbicides) is being waged, are suddenly recognised as being delicious and made a central element of many dishes in some of the best restaurants in the world.
In addition to restaurant supply we now also sell our fresh and preserved produce through Farmdrop; the online food delivery company, which delivers to people all over London, Bristol and Bath. Find us here.
A lot of people may find it strange that a commercial enterprise involving plants could have a sense of mission to bring benefits to people and plants by selling them as produce. But it fulfils the mandate in current society, which is centred around commerce. People eating plants in the restaurants we sell to and the people who purchase plants through Farmdrop are making a connection with plants and the plants have started to achieve a place in contemporary food culture as a result. | agronomy |

At the latest GP Farm Forum in February, organic producers and other agriculture stakeholders came together to discuss the opportunities and challenges of building a regional supply chain to support the increased organic production in the region.
Without an intentional and coordinated regional and statewide approach, organic farming may eventually largely resemble its conventional counterpart, thereby missing out on an opportunity to generate greater regional economic development. For many organic farmers and the growing network of regenerative agriculture proponents in Central Illinois, a retooling of the supply chain is necessary to benefit from the core regenerative functions of organic practices and to retain more economic activity within our region.
Regenerative agriculture practices aim to bring a multidimensional framework to the agriculture industry—one that considers the triple bottom line of farming and not solely focused on producing the greatest quantity at the lowest price. But to achieve and maintain the numerous goals of regenerative farming—from rebuilding soil health, to mitigating climate change, to contributing to rural community and economic development—many regional supply chain gaps need filling.
Watch the full Farm Forum here to see the discussion that ensued around this topic.
We learned a great deal from our panelists and the audience at the Farm Forum about how our organization can be a partner in growing this emerging agriculture sector. We look forward to finding ways to be a useful resource and partner for organic farmers and the numerous other ag stakeholders in the region pursuing opportunities to diversify and innovate Greater Peoria’s agriculture industry.

When soil stability maintenance is prioritized, industrial and farming operations can be confident that the ground under their feet will be able to support their project for years to come. When this maintenance is neglected, however, ground and soil instability can be a major pitfall, causing problems that range from irritating operational setbacks to calamitous erosion events. In this article, we will take a closer look at the basics of soil stability, overviewing the main contributing factors to soil integrity, and some commonplace practices for soil stability control in industry and agriculture.
What is ‘Soil Stability’?
The term soil stability – also known as soil aggregate stability – refers to the ability of a soil matrix to regulate the flow and makeup of air and water throughout the soil substrate. Put simply, it describes the ground’s ability to maintain the expected level of structural stability and withstand the rigours of industrial activity and environmental conditions.
What Impacts Soil Stability?
Soil stability can be impacted by several different factors, some of which are environmental and some of which are the result of human and industrial activity.
Soil Composition: Soil composition refers to the balance of minerals and water in the soil, as well as the levels of silt, sand, and clay that make up the soil. This factor is often dictated by the extremely specific local climatic and geographical conditions of a site, as well as its placement relative to surrounding water sources.
Organic Material: Along with moisture and mineral levels, soil stability is also highly associated with the degree and makeup of organic matter within the soil. Living organic materials – such as plants with anchored root systems – can add coherence and firmness to the soil, both at the topsoil and deep into the earth. On the other hand, dead and decaying organic matter – including agricultural animal and plant waste – can cause the soil to become softer, decreasing ground stability.
Soil Compaction: Soil compaction is also highly correlated with the geological features of the industrial site, especially its elevation. When mining, farming, and other industrial operations are set up on or near hills, the ground is often less compacted and more uneven than the soil of flat land, making it more susceptible to the forces of erosion, which can lead to slippage and rutting.
Traffic: Although environmental factors lay the foundation of soil stability, the impact of industrial and agricultural activity on ground and soil stability can not be overstated. In farming practices, repeated tilling can alter the soil’s ability to maintain appropriate moisture and aeration. In livestock farming, trampling, animal waste and feeding practices can progressively lead to soil degradation, instability and watershed. Additionally, in the mining, road-construction and oil & gas industry, the repetitive gravitational forces produced by trucks and other heavy-duty industrial equipment can result in uneven and unstable soil compaction, especially in high-use areas.
Improving Soil Stability
Mechanical Soil Stabilization
In the past, soil stabilization was primarily mechanical. During mechanical soil stabilization, the structural properties of the soil – such as its gradation, solidity, cohesiveness and compaction – are physically altered. By mixing and compacting soils of different grades, the density, uniformity, and aeration of the soil matrix can be fine-tuned. Silts or clays can also be added to increase the integrity and strength of non-cohesive soils. Along with soil blending, structural barriers such as geotextiles can also be utilized to increase stability. Finally, mechanical compaction – which utilizes heavy equipment to repeatedly pound or vibrate the soil – is also common and can effectively eliminate deformities, air pockets or voids in the ground.
Chemical Soil Stabilization
In chemical soil stabilization, material reactants known as ‘binders’ are added to the soil, resulting in an interaction that changes the soil’s chemical and/or structural properties. Traditionally, chemical soil stabilizers have relied on cementitious or pozzolanic reactions; they often make use of cement, lime, and/or bituminous materials, with fly ash or kiln dust also being widely used. Recently, however, innovations in industrial chemical technology have brought new chemical soil stabilizers to market. Introducing polymers into the soil stabilization industry has proven to be particularly useful since polymer-based soil stabilizers are cost-effective, easy to apply in the field, and can offer increased cohesiveness for particularly fine-grained soil. When considering chemical soil stabilization, it is important to bear in mind the unique ground composition of each site, as well as the local regulatory requirements governing chemical application.

COCOA OF EXCELLENCE AWARDS
Fifty-three (53) cocoa producing regions participated in the 2021 Edition of the Cocoa of Excellence Awards.
Two hundred and thirty-five (235) cocoa bean samples were received, assigned a blind code, and evaluated.
Of these, two hundred and thirty-four) 234 cocoa bean samples were processed into cocoa liquor and evaluated blindly by the eleven members of the Cocoa of Excellence Technical Committee, a panel of international experts in sensory evaluation.
From the liquor evaluation, the Best 50 high quality cocoa samples were selected to represent the four global cocoa-producing regions.
Trinidad and Tobago is in the Central America and Caribbean Region.
The sample from Roods and Perches was among the Best 50 high quality liquor samples.
The liquor samples were then processed into a dark chocolate, tempered, and molded. The Best 50 samples were evaluated blindly by the Cocoa of Excellence Technical Committee and a larger panel of 39 experts and professional chocolate makers.
The Cocoa of Excellence Programme was started in 2009, by the Alliance of Bioversity International and the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), to recognise cocoa quality and flavour diversity in the production of cocoa.
The Cocoa of Excellence Award is a global competition to recognise the work of cocoa farmers and celebrate the diversity of cocoa flavours across the different cocoa producing regions of the world.
To participate in the competition, cocoa farmers have to submit a sample of 5kgs of well-prepared, fermented, and dried beans to their local National Organizing Committee (NOC).
In Trinidad and Tobago, the NOC is the Cocoa Development Company of Trinidad and Tobago Limited (CDCTTL).
The bean sample is evaluated locally for physical, whole, and cut bean sensory qualities.
The Roods and Perches sample received 2nd place in the local leg of the competition and was selected to represent T&T at the international competition in Italy. | agronomy |

Seeing barns old and new, pastures stretching out with tractors roaming around, and houses tucked amongst the land with families busy at work; all create a picture perfect, peaceful, and beautiful scene to see zooming past your window.
Being married to an avid fan of post-apocalyptic movies I have seen (in Hollywood version at least) what would happen to our country if the food we tend to so mindlessly enjoy each day just happened to stop being grown and brought to our local grocery stores. And I have to admit, I do enjoy all my groceries that contain corn, wheat, and all the other scrumptious crops grown right here in the USA! Not only do they help get food on our table, American farmers are an important part of our nation’s economy.
I’m always fascinated by getting a peek into different people’s lifestyles and careers. So when I found out that
America’s Farmers were highlighting 11 modern day farming families I took my time clicking through each and reading about the variety of different people working behind the scenes to provide such a vital part of my families life!
The story of the Pistorious Family really intrigued me. I thought it was super interesting that technology is such a huge part of their jobs, but they also focus in on the niche crop of organic popcorn. It’s also great to see a family of six working and growing together and creating their own version of the classic American Dream!
Since moving to Texas we live close to many ranchers–in fact our “neighbors” on one side of our house is a herd of cattle that moseys over to the far end of the rancher’s hundreds of acres to say hello every now and then. It love being close to the flip side of the backbone of America, and will continue loving to look at those pastures and thinking about the families who live and work on them on our cross country trips! | agronomy |

next few paragraphs.
Strawberry Farming in Kenya
Strawberries can grow in almost every part of our country provided there is constant water supply and stable temperature in the range of 10 – 30 degrees Celsius.Step 1: Getting Started
Of course, you need some land to plant your strawberry crop. 1/8th of an acre would be adequate for a beginner but if you are in an urban setting you can invest in a few containers (which you can then put in your backyard) and start farming.
Once you have secured a good piece of land in a place that has adequate water supply start looking for seedlings. The best variety to go for is “Chandelier Strawberry” which is perfectly suited for the Kenyan environment.
You will require about 3,000 seedlings for a 1/8th piece of land. Given that each seedling costs Ksh10 then your minimum investment in seeds alone will cost you about Ksh30,000.
On top of the cost of purchasing seedlings you’ll need to add an extra Ksh15,000 for transport, fertilizer and agro-chemicals.Step 2: Prepare The Land
Till the land, remove weeds and then soften the soil. Later on, add some manure (rabbit, sheep, goat or cow manure will work) and ash to ensure a healthy supply of nutrients to your crop.
Proceed to plant your strawberry seedlings leaving a distance of 30cm in between rows. Also, leave at least 50cm space between any two sections of the farm.Step 3: Look For Market Early Enough
It takes about 70 days for the crop to mature and produce the first fruits. But because the fruits are highly perishable (stays fresh for 4-5 days after harvesting), it is advisable to start looking for market early enough to avoid incurring losses.
Demand is readily available in major urban markets especially among green-grocery suppliers. You can also access a larger market by marketing to companies like Brookside, Trufood, KCC and major supermarket chains. In that case, you will require to invest in good packaging and get accreditation from The Kenya Bureau of Standards.Step 4: Harvesting and Selling Your Produce
A 1/8th piece of land can produce between 30kg and 50kg of strawberries per week and each kilo goes for about Ksh200 at the current market price. Now assuming your small farm produces 50Kgs per week then that means you can make Ksh40,000 per month using only a very small portion of your land.
Moreover, you can increase your farm’s productivity by investing in aquaponics through which you can triple the productivity of your farm to make at least Ksh100,000 per month on just 1/8th of an acre.
It is possible to recover your initial investment (or break-even) within just 6 months of starting the farm!Final Word
You don’t have to be an agriculture expert to succeed in Strawberry farming in Kenya. All you need to do is find a good piece of land (e.g. in Isinya, Machakos, Kiambu, Nakuru, Naivasha, Kilifi…or simply anywhere near a potential market).
Then you need to source for the right seedlings – and this is where you need to contact KARI for assistance. Alternatively, you can talk to other successful farmers in your region for assistance in sourcing for the right crop.
What about marketing? Package your product nicely, take a few photos and post on various market-based Facebook groups. Also, carry a sample of your product with you and take it directly to your potential buyers.
Invest in a few business cards or fliers that you can leave with your potential customers so that they can contact you when need arises.
If you’re out there wondering what business to do with your little capital, don’t let this opportunity pass you. Start small today and good things will come your way! | agronomy |

Thus in this manner, the vehicle maker would first launch a semi-autonomous tractor model and then a fully autonomous one would be available to its customers.
This technology is a product of the Mahindra’s technology house called as the Mahindra Research Valley in Chennai.
All the tractor options available at Mahindra would be employed with this technology over a period of time. It would offer this autonomous technology across its 20HP to 100HP range of tractors. Mahindra will also introduce the technology in its U.S. and Japan and other international markets, giving it a cutting edge over its competitors in the global market.
Goenka informed that the only hurdle between launching the new technology was the get the green signal from the government and to fix a final price of the vehicle.
The company is dealing with price issues because the vehicle maker is conscious about the price being on the high side as it comprises of many imported elements. They are working to keep the cost on a more affordable level.
He said that the company had already presented the Central Government of India for approval and that they are awaiting the government to draft the required policies and legislations for such autonomous vehicles and grant it the permission.
With the introduction of this new technology, the company wants to increase its domestic market share by 3 %. The company already has lions share in the domestic tractor segment- 43%.
Let’s get to know a few of the features of this first of its kind technology:
1. Auto-headland turn: The farmer does not have to steer the tractor in side-by-side rows because the tractor positions itself in adjacent rows on its own.
2. Autosteer: The tractor can travel and do its job in a straight line due to this GPS enabled technology.
3. Auto-implement lift: This feature makes the tractor lift the work tool from the earth, automatically, at the end of a row and engages the tool again once the tractor positions itself at the next row.
4. Geofence lock: The tractor stays within the limits of the framers land and does not cross the boundaries of the farm it is working on.
5. Skid passing: The tractor steers and positions itself to the next row after finishing work on one row, without any inputs from the driver.
6. Remote engine start-stop: The farmer can remote start or stop the engine and hence, this feature can be of great use in cases of emergency when the tractor is needed to be brought to a stop.
7. Control via tablet user interface: The farmer can control the tractor with the help of a tablet. It empowers the farmer to feed in various inputs that are required for efficient farming. He can also see to it that the tractor does its designated job and stays in its path with the help of a tablet.
Mahindra Farm Equipment, a part of Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd. Acquired Erkunt Traktor Sanayii AS. The company is fourth largest tractor brand in Turkey. The acquisition will help Mahindra expand its roots in international markets and especially in Turkey. The Indian company acquired Hisarlar, another major step to deepen its reach in the Turkish markets. | agronomy |

The Oradea Metropolitan Area, CESCI, INFH and the French MOT (Mission Opérationnelle Transfrontalière) launched the Oradea initiative in 2012 with the aims to share the French experiences and to mediate between the Hungarian and Romanian partners. The first conference on the institutionalization of cross-border cooperation was indeed the start of a process, in accordance with the partners’ intentions. The second conference was organized accordingly in 2014 on cross-border health care services, and in 2016 on short food supply chains and local products.
The conference was held in the renovated building complex of the Fortress of Oradea this time. Organizers grouped the presentations around three topics. The first panel was about short food supply chains as instruments of the new paradigm of rural development. Daniel Wathelet, an expert on the Eastern European region, president of the International Urban Food Network (IUFN), highlighted in his presentation the importance of short food supply chains starting from the food challenges humanity is facing. He explained that not only the high quality supply of the population can be ensured through these, but also the pollution caused by food supply can be decreased (food industry is responsible for almost half of the pollutant gases). The involvement of local producers strengthens local democracy and ownership approach at the same time. IUFN has developed a methodology in order to disseminate the model, and operates as an intermediary interface between the parties concerned.
Cristian Buzlea, executive director of the Hajdú-Bihar County Development Agency and Orsolya Tószegi, referent for the short food supply chains of the Prime Minister’s Office European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) introduced the Romanian and Hungarian policy background. As it turned out, the support system shows many similarities in the two countries. On the Romanian side, the local market covers a 50 km radius agglomeration area, however, according to Hungarian legislation; local producers may sell their products in the county affected by production, in Budapest, and within the 40 km radius of the production site. Anita Hosoff, as a representative of the National Food Chain Safety Office, completed the presentations of the first block with information regarding hygiene standards. She also talked about the kind of provisions that prevent local products to appear in cross-border regions.
Presenters of the second panel introduced models regarding short food supply chains. Mihaela Veţan, director of the Association for Supporting Peasant Farming (Timișoara) talked about the ASAT-model introduced following the French example. This means that families sign a contract with producers for the annual quota. Ten such partnerships operate in Romania currently, in six cities. Andrea Szabadkai, president of the National Association of Interest Representations for Small-scale producers and service providers, presented their efforts for local small-scale producers over the past 8 years. The association has a major role in the creation of appropriate legal regulations in Hungary. She mentioned the social farm from among the Hungarian models, and the producer merger of interests about to be launched following the French example.
The last presentation of the panel was held by Frédéric Perrin, director of the French Institute for Pure Vegetable Oils. The model developed by them answers three challenges at the same time: food and energetic challenges of the produced vegetable oil, and the challenges affecting the development of the region. Food, animal feed and energy resources are all made from agricultural raw materials.
In the last panel of the conference, specific regional cooperation introduced themselves. Gabriella Lupse, leader of the Hungarian Cross-Border Local Action Group of Bihar County, was the first one to talk about their past and future developments affecting the region with a population of 90 thousand. Tibor Szabó, leader of the work organization of the Zala Thermal Valley Association presented the latest results of the action group in partnership with the French, which will be realized within the framework of the open gate movement. Károly Batiz, the communication director of the association of “Kamra-Túra Homokháti Gazdák”, talked about the courtyard program launched in 2004 under extremely harsh climatic conditions, which unites 120 farmers today. The last presentation of the conference was held by Dorin Popa, president of the Crişana Research and Sales Association of Food Products, about the professional help they provide for farmers of Bihar County to access the market.
The conference was moderated by Katalin Kujáni, agricultural-innovation referent of the Ministry of Agriculture, and the participants were welcomed by Florica Cherecheş, Member of Parliament and dedicated member of the local “Kiskosár Bevásárló Közösség”, Florin Birta, deputy mayor of Oradea, and Benoit Bevouset, director of the French Institute in Cluj-Napoca.
Similarly to previous conferences, this year’s event was not only important from the perspective of exchanging professional experiences, but from the perspective of potential cooperation and projects inherent in the establishment of personal relationships. The objective of the process of Oradea is that more and more sectors and their actors find each other in Hungarian-Romanian relations, and start cooperation building on French experiences. Experts involved in renewable energy can be the next to do this.
The Commission's public consultation on the future of transport has been launched. The consultation is available here and can be completed by September 23, 2020.//2020.06.16.
On 16 June 2020, the Association of European Border Regions (AEBR), the Mission Opérationnelle Transfrontalière (MOT) and the Central European Support Service for Cross-Border Initiatives (CESCI) established the European Border Citizens' Alliance to promote cross-border cooperation along all European borders.//2020.02.11.
Monday and Tuesday in Uzhhorod we signed a strategic cooperation memorandum addressing cross-border cooperation together with the Department of Economics and Law of the Ukrainian National Academy of Sciences and the Faculty of Law of the National University of Uzhhorod. The event included a scientific meeting and a training for public servants.//2019.10.24.
The AEBR organised its third Cross-Border School in Dresden with the aim to share the experiences of professionals and knowledge of academics of the cross-border cooperation field. Our association's strategic planner, Melinda Benczi, contributed to the discourse by presenting the cohesion-based strategic planning methodology of CESCI as well as conducting a simulation game on the role of individual stakeholders in cross-border development.//2019.09.30.
Today, together with the representatives of the neighbouring countries' rescue services, we discussed the conditions of the free movement of the ambulance cars across the borders. It seems that the solution is accessible in the foreseeable future, in our region, too. We should not lose any souls due to their domicile... | agronomy |

Celebrating 30 Years
This program is sponsored by Joseph N. DiVincenzo, Jr., Essex County Executive, The Board of County Commissioners, the Essex County Environmental Commission and the Essex County Environmental Center.
Organic waste comprises 30 percent of the household trash going into landfills and incinerators, where it has no chance to decompose and offers very little BTU value. Homeowners who compost not only extend the life of our landfills and reduce the cost of collecting household garbage, but also recycle the nutrients in organic waste to create a valuable soil amendment for their gardens.
We want to encourage backyard composting so that everyone can enjoy the benefits of improving or maintaining high-quality soil, growing healthy plants, reducing the use of fertilizer and pesticides, improving water quality, and protecting the environment. By adding compost you can conserve water and help improve soil to help hold water in the root zone.

Why Use a Rain Barrel?
There are several environmental benefits associated with rain barrels. Rain barrels reduce storm water runoff, water that does not soak into the ground and can transport many pollutants to our local waterways as well as cause erosion. By collecting rainwater for watering lawns, gardens, and potted plants and for washing off patio furniture and tools, rain barrels conserve water. From a gardening perspective, the natural nutrients in rain water make it far better than city tap water, which contains chlorine and fluoride. With a rain barrel, gardeners can minimize or eliminate their use of chemical fertilizers.
Rain barrel water should not be used to drink or bathe. And rain barrels should be emptied and stored throughout the winter months. | agronomy |

TPC at Deere Run Opens May 1
The Tournament Players Course at Deere Run in Davenport, Iowa, has reopened. The course officially debuted last year, and hosted a PGA Tour event, the John Deere Classic in July. But an unseasonably hot and humid September caused problems with the greens and a premature closure of the course.
Those kinds of weather problems should be a thing of the past, as efforts were made in the offseason to weather-proof the young course, a co-design of Chris Gray and D.A. Weibring. Selected trees were removed to allow more sunlight, while limbs and underbrush were cleared to enhance air flow. Also, an expensive sub-air cooling system was installed to keep the greens cool in hot weather.
The TPC at Deere Run is a semiprivate facility that allows public play. Reservations can be made by calling toll-free at 877/872-3677 or 309/796-6000 ext. 110. | agronomy |

I am sure you’ll all be keen to follow the progress as we pick the grapes which will be used to make your Virtual Winemaker wine. Before that happens though, I thought I’d give you a quick update on what’s happening in vineyard at the moment and as we prepare ourselves for the busiest time in the vineyard calendar!
The weather has been stable and warm in the Southern Rhône throughout August and early September 2013, as a ridge of high pressure has settled comfortably over the Valley. However, 2013 is shaping up as a vintage that will need considerable hard work, and even ingenuity, if we are to produce good wines. Luck, in the form of the weather, will also be needed.
Putting aside the low crop levels, there are several other issues to contend with. There is a lot of vegetation this year due to abundant water reserves, something that we’ve not seen for a few years. The plants’ energy is heading not only towards the fruit, hence the need for work in the vineyard to cut back leaves and excess shoots or spurs, and expose the bunches to help the fruit ripen. Also, 2013 is on a knife edge with varying degrees of ripeness and lower degrees of potential alcohol than at this time last year.
As harvest 2013 gradually draws closer we’re hoping that late September onwards will be stable, marked by high pressure, the Mistral wind and a lack of rain. In such conditions the already limited crop could concentrate, lose acidity, and gain in degree of alcohol.
Unfortunately, the Grenache Noir grapes have been ravaged by coulure this year – this is where the flowers have failed to convert into fruit – and are taking a long time to ripen. The veraison – when the grapes change colour – has been extremely protracted, despite the warm to hot, and largely dry weather. Yields on Grenache therefore will be significantly down by as much as 40% compared to last vintage.
On the plus side however, the Syrah, Carignan and Mourvedre grapes are looking fine (but the harvest will be later than in previous vintages). The current weather is a great help with ripening – mornings are currently around 10°C and the afternoons around 26-27°C. The Syrah harvest should start next week and then we’ll continue with the other varieties into October. We’ll look forward to keeping you updated throughout! | agronomy |

Beautiful lawns are no longer a product of nature however are deliberate and created. Lawn fertilizer will usually be a vital phase of the introduction process. Choosing the proper garden fertilizer starts through understanding what vitamins are presently in your soil, as determined through a soil test. Lawns that are now not fertilized will have to be counted totally on what is in the soil for all their nutrients. The soil around most houses these days, as you probably know, is no longer that good. After a house is built, contractors do not often reflect on consideration of the fine of the soil as something important. As lengthy as the lot is graded properly, that is all that matters.
The Basic of Lawn Fertilizer
The listing of micronutrients consists of Boron (B), Chlorine (Cl), Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Molybdenum (Mo), Nickel (Ni and Zinc (Zn). These are additionally referred to as hint elements. Most of the micronutrients, barring from iron, are commonly no longer blanketed in a bag of garden fertilizer.
The predominant macronutrients are Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K) and characterize the most many times used substances in garden fertilizer. These three vitamins are very essential for plant characteristics and are the factors poorest in soils. Other macronutrients encompass Calcium (Ca), Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), Magnesium (Mg), Oxygen (O), and sulfur (S).
Types of Lawn Fertilizer
There are time-release fertilizers that are recommended for feeding the garden over many months and stop the gardener from having to be aware to feed once more at a positive time. The gradual launch additionally lets in plant roots to harvest the vitamins they want slowly, stopping essential factors from leaching away into the soil. This kind of meal is effortless to follow and minimizes the threat of burning the lawn. Granular fertilizers may additionally be time-release or gradual release. Either way, they are famous due to the ease of application. Liquid or water-soluble fertilizers have unfolded the usage of a hose and furnish a rapid fine way to introduce vitamins hastily to grassroots.
Advantages of Lawn Fertilizer
1) Using a natural lawn fertilizer no longer solely improves the niceness of your soil however additionally the fitness of your grass. The floor stays prosperous in vitamins whilst additionally supporting to hold away pests and diseases.
2) It’s no secret that exposure to chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides may also lead to serious health complications. The use of glyphosate-based weed killers has been linked to Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma — the second quickest developing most cancers in the United States. Organic garden offerings do no longer produce these damaging consequences on human beings or pets.
3) Organic manure has the capacity to amplify water retention that prevents leaching of minerals from run-off water. Synthetic garden fertilizers, on the different hand, wash away with extra watering or all through rains polluting ponds, rivers, lakes, and oceans. The leached minerals from chemical fertilizers are linked to the eutrophication of water bodies. With no targeted excretions of minerals, natural manure is now not unsafe to fish, birds, or the natural world and is, therefore, higher for the environment.
4) A natural Lawn fertilizer helps the increase of most soil microbes, particularly in the course of summer. The multiplied advisable microorganism populations wreck down the nutrients, availing the much-needed nitrogen to the grasses. The decrease nutrient content material makes it difficult for you to by chance overload lawns with minerals that may burn your turf.
5) Natural lawn fertilizers have a fairly excessive natural be counted content material that is prosperous in different micronutrients. Most natural fertilizers are made from absolutely herbal merchandise that is thoroughly biodegradable and launches vitamins to the soil. The micronutrients amplify the vitality of the floor main to a better-looking lawn.
6) Organic lawn fertilizers can step by step launch critical vitamins such as nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium in a brief time period and lengthy-term. These vitamins aid the boom of higher and better roots. Chemical fertilizers are susceptible to mineral dumping that scotches the roots main to vulnerable growth.

Within the June WASDE report, launched on Thursday, the USDA confirmed the market weaker ethanol demand and an even bigger U.S. winter wheat harvest. Supporting grain markets earlier than that had been some hotter/drier situations forecasted for not solely the Midwest, another areas of Canada. For individuals who are bullish/hopeful on a climate rally, understand that many areas have respectable soil moisture that’s carried over from final yr.
Going into the June WASDE report, merchants had been pretty bearish because the regarded to larger crops within the U.S. and South America including to an already-heavy provide base and unsure demand. Particular to corn, ending shares in the USA had been raised once more within the June WASDE and including to challenges was a lower in ethanol demand, albeit it was lower than what grain markets had been anticipating. Whereas some ethanol processing services are beginning to re-start, I estimate that there’s already been about 500M bushels in corn demand that has been misplaced during the last three months. I’ll admit that that is much less that what I used to be initially anticipating, however, as talked about, we’re removed from being out of the woods.
This in thoughts, with none main climate points, grain costs are likely to drop as we get deeper into the rising season, and thus, I anticipated corn costs to begin to pull again within the coming weeks (even regardless of the warmer climate…per week doesn’t make the crop!). On that observe, the USDA left U.S. corn yields and planted acreage unchanged at 178.5 bushels and 97M acres, however sentiment throughout grain markets is that this quantity may very well be lowered to 94M acres earlier than the 2020/21 U.S. corn crop yr official begins on October 1st. Globally, the USDA solely elevated Brazil’s corn harvest by 1 MMT to now sit at 107 MMT however a decrease 2019/20 carryout meant international 2020/21 corn ending shares had been additionally lowered from final month’s WASDE report.
For the wheat market, costs in Chicago dropped to a three-week low yesterday because the USDA raised their outlook for the winter wheat harvest within the U.S., in addition to elevating international inventories to a brand new document of 316 MMT. Wheat costs have already been pressured this week by the beginning of the northern hemisphere’s harvest and a few larger manufacturing expectations from the Land Down Undaa. On that observe, the Aussie wheat harvest was raised by 2 MMT to 26 MMT, and exports by the identical quantity to sit down now at 17 MMT.
Offsetting, the rise within the wheat harvest estimates for the USA and Australia was downgrades for the E.U. (lowered by 2 MMT to 141 MMT of all kinds of wheat) and the Ukraine (dropped by 1.5 MMT to 26.5 MMT). The explanation for the wheat harvest downgrades is squarely pinned on the recent, dry spring climate that a lot of the area skilled.
Whereas the USDA saved the Russian wheat harvest at 77 MMT within the June WASDE, IKAR raised its estimate by 2.Four MMT to 78 MMT based mostly on higher yields than initially anticipated. Value mentioning (albeit not tremendous related within the international wheat commerce recreation) is that India’s wheat harvest was raised to a brand new document of 107.2, a leap of 4.2MMT from the Might WASDE report. Equally, China is predicted to carry greater than half of all international wheat provides by the top of 2020/21 (thus, considerably nullifying the importance of a brand new document carryout!
Much like wheat, swaying manufacturing and commerce manufacturing estimates are protecting barley costs elevated, however moreso within the feed class than malt, as for the latter, demand from the beer business has mainly dried up. It is a critical challenge for Australia, who accounts for about 30% – 40% of world malt barley exports. Additional, Aussie barley has been shut out of the Chinese language market due to the current 80.5% tariff that appears to be political retaliation for Australia calling for an investigation into China’s dealing with of COVID-19 data within the early days of the virus.
Nonetheless, it’s not all bearish because the dry, heat climate in Europe and the Black Sea is beginning to seem within the manufacturing forecasts of presidency companies and personal companies. For instance, France’s Ag Ministry is forecasting their winter barley crop at 8.17 MMT, down 12% year-over-year (albeit spring barley acres are up 14% and practically 50% above the five-year common at 1.8M.). Additional, within the Ukraine, APK-Inform is estimating that barley manufacturing there’ll fall 23% year-over-year to six.83 MMT, primarily due to a 16% drop in acres planted, together with 27% much less spring acres seeded.
Lastly, in Russia, consultancy agency Ozip is estimating manufacturing to fall 5% year-over-year to 19.45 MMT. Because the Black Sea often dominates the feed class, particularly within the Center East, it would open up some alternatives for added Canadian or Australian feed barley exports. To this point, complete Canadian barley exports are monitoring 11% decrease year-over-year with simply 1.79 MMT sailed by Week 44.
Wrapping issues up, canola costs appear to be largely rangebound and are largely following the soybean and palm oil markets. On that observe, a lot of the consideration going into the June WASDE was on the soybean steadiness sheet, notably competing soybean exports from Brazil and the U.S., and what China will purchase. The bulls had been upset although that the USDA dropped their U.S. previous crop soybean exports goal but once more; this time it was 25M bushels in yesterday’s June WASDE report, including to the 100M-bushel drop in final month’s WASDE report. U.S. 2019/20 soybean exports at the moment are estimated at 1.65 and a couple of.05 Billion bushels respectively (or 44.9 MMT and 55.Eight MMT if changing bushels into metric tonnes).
Regardless of the pessimism shared by the USDA in yesterday’s June WASDE report, China continues to purchase U.S. soybeans, together with 10 cargoes thus far this month that we learn about. That is possible as a consequence of forex results because the U.S. Greenback is sitting at a 2-month lows whereas, conversely, the Brazilian Actual has touched 2-month highs. That mentioned, final week noticed the biggest gross sales of U.S. soybean exports thus far this crop yr and the biggest since 2018 with 2.22 MMT contracted. From an precise shipments standpoint, U.S. soybean exports at the moment are barely monitoring above final yr’s tempo.
Studying between the strains of the June WASDE, it’s secure to say that China is probably going to purchase a lot of the world’s surplus in soybean manufacturing, as their 2019/20 imports had been raised by 2 MMT to 94 MMT (however 2020/21 was unchanged at 96 MMT). That mentioned, China has already booked at a whole lot of soybeans, primarily from Brazil, and which will imply that their exportable provides are beginning to dwindle. The truth is, Datagro estimates that Brazilian farmers have already bought practically 90% of their 2019/20 crop (or about 106.5 MMT), in addition to one-third of their 2020/21 anticipated manufacturing, which is nicely above-average for this time of yr.
In the end, between COVID-19 circumstances surging once more, and depressed commodity costs, it’s powerful to seek out additional silver linings this week. Particular to grain costs, the us confirmed us with their June WASDE report what we already knew and as we transfer ahead, there’s going to be a whole lot of give attention to climate and any demand headlines are eagerly welcome. | agronomy |

In Italy, September is the month of the grape harvest or as the Italians like to call it: La Vendemmia. The exact timing of this event is hard to predict as the harvesting conditions and the grapes have to be just right before it can begin.
When the grapes hit peak ripeness and the sun is shining, La Vendemmia commences. This summer’s growing season was fantastic so vintners across the country decided to start the harvest a little earlier than in previous years.
In our house, La Vendemmia is a social event. Family and friends from all over are invited to help pick the grapes and after days of hard work and lots of laughing under the Mediterranean sun, there is always a feast to be had in celebration of a successful harvest.
A large table is filled with delicious food and even tastier wine for all to enjoy. In the past, we used plastic plates, forks, and cups during the celebration. Times have changed and today we use Klean Kanteen bottles and tumblers that keep our wine and water perfectly chilled. Instead of plastic plates we use stainless steel thali dishes and silverware. The transition away from plastic shows our dedication to protecting the environment that has provided us so much and inspires all our friends and family to make a plastic-free shift in their own lives.

RELIANT is a systemic fungicide which has both xylem and phloem mobility, in that it will move systemically throughout all parts of plants. It will move from plant roots into the newly emerging shoots and conversely from new shoots into the root system.
RELIANT is absorbed by all plant tissue regardless of where it is applied and is directly fungistatic, in that it slows the growth of the disease pathogen and inhibits the formation of new spores by the pathogen.
When absorbed by the plant RELIANT directly affects plant metabolism by stimulating the production of ATP and ADP along with the defensive response of accumulation of phytoalexins (immune bodies) similar to that in humans. These phytoalexins enhance the activity of the plant's dynamic defense system, causing rapid changes within the cells of lytic enzymes, thickening of cell walls, higher cell pressure and lignification to occur within the cell.
This increase in "plant robustness" is sometimes called "Systemic Acquired Resistence" and can directly offset the onset of pathogen attack. Below is an unprotected cell under pathogen attack.
This very complex mode of action can be simplified into making the plant more “robust healthy, ready to withstand pathogen attack” and environmental stress.
Other physiological effects observed after applications of RELIANT to various plant species are: bigger blooms, increase in color or intensity of the color of both leaves and blooms, initiation of root growth, larger fruit set or increase on fruit set, auxiliary bud break and a very pronounced observable overall increase in plant health and vigor. All treated plants will demonstrate one of these effects but not all plants will show all effects.
