Increasing Home Value with Gardening
Importance of Gardening for Increasing Home Value
A well-maintained garden is increasingly being seen as an important factor in increasing a home’s value. A properly maintained garden can add as much as 16% to a property’s value with properly managed lawns and flower-beds improving the overall aesthetic of the property. Gardens can also act as a range of social spaces for both gatherings in the day or at night, and can also provide privacy and security with hedges and tall trees. The HomeBuilder grant scheme is giving homeowners looking to landscape up to $25,000. Now has never been a better time to upgrade your garden. Vision has provided some tips on increasing your home value through gardening.
Maintaining your Lawn and Increasing Home Value
53% of people see the lawn as the most important feature of any garden. Therefore, proper maintenance is key to ensuring that your spring garden increases home value.
Aerating your lawn through using a garden fork or a lawn aerator is a way to get your lawn growing back thicker and greener over spring. This is because it allows for more water and nutrients to reach the roots of the lawn by breaking up compacted soil.
Before the heat of summer hits, early spring is a great time to reseed bare patches of your lawn. This is because the soil is the right temperature to foster growth and it gives time for your grass to be strongly established for summer. Ensure that before you reseed, you have the right seed for your lawn, the patch is well raked, and that sticks and stones above and below ground in the reseeding area are removed.
Planting and Increasing Home Value
Before planting, ensure that all debris is clear of your garden beds. This could include leaf litter, branches, and dead plants. Ensure that your soil is decompacted, watered, and has compost and manure mixed in for plant nutrients. Weeds should also be removed, with a weed killer assisting this process. Some weeds, however, can grow from an underground bulb, which will therefore require removal with a trowel.
What to Plant
Bunnings has provided an extensive list of appropriate flowers, fruits, vegetables and herbs for various climates in Australia during spring. Check it out here.
Maintaining your Plants
Plant maintenance is key to ensuring that they remain colourful and flowering over the course of spring, and into the hotter and dryer months of summer. Pest management is an important process in this, with aphids and psyllids having the potential to wreak havoc on garden beds as the weather warms up. A gentle insecticide will help mitigate this.
Fertiliser should be spread out over new plants, and then mulching should take place. This will suppress weed growth, and protect the soil from drying out from harsh sunlight. Plants should also be watered consistently, with a schedule or a reminder system being useful for this.
How Vision Can Help
Looking to take advantage of the HomeBuilder scheme to get some landscaping underway and get your garden started? The team at Vision are happy to help arrange finances for you to get your value-adding landscaping underway. Contact us here, or check out more information on how to add value to your home here.

Sumaq Machu Picchu Hotel presents a new culinary experience “Visit Manuel Choqque’s potato fields”
Peru is a cornucopia full of different ingredients that hail from the many corners of the country’s fertile lands. Nonetheless, nothing defines Peru’s rich agricultural legacy better than the potato. Tubers are native to Peru. They were domesticated over 8,000 years ago, and currently boast over 3,000 cultivated varieties. Today, no one knows more about tubers than Manuel Choqque, Peru’s leading expert in everything potato. A renown farmer of many native potato varieties, Choqque will be guiding the Sumar Machu Picchu Hotel’s newest culinary expedition.
The tour takes place in the fertile Sacred Valley of the Incas, located in the Peruvian Andes, just a short car ride from the city of Cusco. It is there that Manuel Choqque cultivates around 350 differed types of potatoes of varying colors – from blue-black and gold, to red and granite – making it an ideal spot to appreciate and learn about the diversity of this sacred and beloved tuber.

Keeping it Simple
Vaughn Schultz might be a qualified architect, but chasing the simple life found him fleeing city lights to return to the Bergen farm his great grandfather established.
A fourth generation farmer with Schultz Family Farms, Vaughn’s family legacy is famed for producing quality meats, adopting non-intensive traditional methods to raise their animals. The family has certainly found their niche, being awarded Gold in the From the Paddock category at the Delicious Produce Awards in 2017 and 2018 for their whole suckling pigs.
Vaughn and wife Jade moved back home to the Darling Downs after living the cosmopolitan life in Brisbane, with sights set on raising a family with a connection to the land. “We’re both passionate about living the simple life, going back to basics and trying to become self sufficient,” says Vaughn. “We are conscious of the origin of our food, so we wanted to establish ourselves to live an independent life and take control of that.”
Taking over from his father, Vaughn realised being a small producer in a sea of agriculture made it difficult to compete with the colossal ranches built for commercial production so he created his own league, growing heirloom varieties, forest greens and stinging nettles that most suppliers had abandoned due to lack of demand. The farm now works closely with its community of chefs to cultivate bespoke harvests. “We like to experiment with them. Sometimes they’re successful; sometimes they’re not. But that’s our niche; we can involve them in the process and it’s a journey that we can do together.”
Vaughn is motivated by the cuisiniers who visit him on the farm, picking their own produce by hand, and boasting a genuine care for sourcing the nuts and bolts of their dishes. “When you see the passion these chefs have in collecting their ingredients, that’s inspiring in itself. The energy from the chefs from holding a flower they haven’t used before … it’s a big motivator and it rubs off on you. We work hard every day trying to match their enthusiasm.”
Rooftop restaurant George Banks has joined the Schultz family. The fine dining establishment is new to the Toowoomba area. “They’re seeking their produce right from the source, which is a pretty unique thing. They take a lot of pride in discovering and revealing new products that they access as well championing farmers like ourselves. It’s a small scene as you can imagine.”
But for Vaughn, it is not about the dollar. He enjoys his animals, giving them the care he would want himself. “We are an option for people seeking a better way and a different way. It’s not necessarily about economical gains; it’s about understanding the process and having full knowledge of the complete chain right back to the start.”
From “one of the best food bowls on Earth” comes the Schultz family’s humble perspective on life. Despite challenging times of late, each year they pick up their chin, put the grain in the ground, and cross their fingers and with a wealth of knowledge passed down for generations, there is no doubt that grain will keep on growing for many moons to come.

It is essential that the soil on the ground achieves a good yield. To accomplish this, a land clearing Riverside is an expertly handled operation to assure a safe and healthy land area. It involves two methods: manual clearing and mechanical clearing.
If done professionally, a clearing service will give more than you can think of. But before that, first, have a basic knowledge about what land clearing is exactly.
Land clearing is common among areas where extensive landmass hosts a niche of grasslands, mini forest, or tree parks. Experts from various fields agree that land clearing brings specific adverse effects. Often, land clearing is done for urban development. In its most traditional sense, land clearing also helps in agricultural development.
If a land area needs to be converted into farmland, the ground needs preparation. The soil needs turning and tuning up. Bushes and grass need uprooting. Consider mulching for smaller areas, clearing the land is for massive spaces,
Here are the top 4 effects of land clearing. Two are harmful; two are beneficial.
1- Large Scale land clearing destroys a natural cycle in the environment.
If a large area has been untouched for several years, then it is more likely that different organisms of plants and animals already build their habitat. Having said this, if you cleared the area, it means you also killed a neutral habitat. Scientists and environmentalists will implicate loss of balance in the native plant and animal species in a community.
2- Loss of plant and animal habitat in massive areas paves the way for invasive species like pests to multiply.
Losing beneficial organisms that keeps the balanced cycle in the ecosystem will invite harmful ones. Pests will find a breeding ground on a stagnant land. If clearing has been done several days before planned development, then the ground exists with no activity, and pests like rodents, mosquitoes, crows may loom around.
3- Land clearing is a must for reviving healthy soil for agricultural land.
Vegetation starts from uprooting weeds out from the soil. The only way for farmers to make sure that the and ios ready for planting is by tilling it. Tilling the ground rakes the earth from deep within. In this way, roots from the killer weeds will be wholly taken out.
4- Native land clearing services allow natural practices for vegetation.
Manual clearing for agricultural purposes allows controlled mulching and tilling of the ground. This is unlike mechanical clearing practiced by urban developers, where they exhaust the soil’s fertility.
Natural clearing preserves the soil’s ph level and regulates nutrients. Through this, the ground remains stable and healthy for farming or vegetative purposes.

The Quaker value of stewardship of the earth is a guiding light for the Lincoln Community, from the design of our STEAM Hub for Girls to our environmental science program. The Lincoln School Edible Garden is a strong example of our collective responsibility to understand and care for our local and global environment.
The Lincoln School Edible Garden was established in the spring of 2008 under the advisement of the Southside Community Land Trust and dedicated the same year in honor of beloved Kindergarten teacher and garden enthusiast, Libby O’Neal. The Edible Garden is situated on Dwight House lawn.
The garden features organically grown herbs, vegetables, and fruit and is maintained and enjoyed by all members of the Lincoln School community—students, families, faculty, and staff. The children in our Early Childhood program and in Grade 3 spend a great deal of time in the garden and share responsibilities.
Most of the planting of the Edible Garden takes place annually in May by students and adults on the school’s Community Action Day. During the school year, food grown and harvested in the garden is prepared by the onsite Flik Dining Service and presented in daily luncheons. Throughout the summer months, volunteers care for the garden and the harvest is shared with area food pantries Camp St. Community Ministries and West Bay Marketplace.
The Edible Garden features a greenhouse and potting shed generously given to the school by the graduating Class of 2011 to support the garden and ongoing sustainability efforts. The garden also has several composters used for yard detritus and fruits and vegetables.

They know how to make wine in Bordeaux, they’ve been doing it for centuries. Grape varieties and vineyard sites were decided in the dim and distant past, viticultural and vinification practices were developed and then copied around the world, they’ve learnt how to use oak to its best advantage and the results have been held in high esteem by wine lovers ever since.
But did you know that experimentation and innovation are alive and well in many a Bordeaux château? It’s easy to witness this hotbed of innovation when you are actually in Bordeaux but three châteaux took the initiative to send a representative over to the UK last week to demonstrate very clearly that winemakers are not sitting on their laurels; quite the opposite, they are at the forefront of vinification advances and embracing new developments.
Château Couhins, making wine in the Pessac-Leognan and Graves appellations and owned by the French National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA), sent over Sales Manager Romain Baillou who very ably explained the benefits of vineyard mapping – a system developed by INRA which allows the vineyard manager to practise what they refer to as made to measure or precision viticulture: using sonar technology, they can identify the depth and temperature of the soil which in turn affect the vigour of the vine and the ripening of the grapes. Further to that, using a system called Greenseeker, they can assess through GPS which sections of a vineyard need picking and which need a few more days of ripening so that all grapes will be picked at optimum ripeness. Each area of the vineyard can be treated specifically to its needs: grass cover crop, fertilisers and green harvesting can all be managed depending on the vine’s, and not the whole vineyard’s, needs. Château Couhins was also the original practitioner of the now widespread practice of sexual confusion or mating disruption, intended to limit the damage done by butterflies and their larvae; whatever you call it, the practice may not be much fun for the butterflies which produce the grape worms but it has been very successful in eradicating this parasite in the vineyard.
Both of these newer innovations will lead, in the long term, to fewer chemical treatments being used in the vineyards: undoubtedly good news for the wine, the consumer and the earth. There is a prevailing move towards sustainable agriculture in Bordeaux and even to organic farming. Between 2009 and 2010 there was an increase of 41% in organic vineyard area and in 2010 there were 614 chateaux in conversion or already organic, a not insubstantial number which in 2013 will no doubt be even more significant. A greener vineyard sadly doesn’t automatically mean a finer product but, if a château has done the research and is prepared for the greater challenge of managing an organic vineyard, the results can be rewarding.
Château de la Dauphine in Fronsac undertook 5 years working research before fully making the change to organic, so was prepared for the lower yields and more intense labour in the vineyard. Owner Guillaume Halley believes that, as well as being better for the planet, organic farming produces wine which is truer to its roots, an authentic Vin de Terroir with greater vibrancy. I found the 2012 more earthy than vibrant (it is still an unfinished wine) but a true representative of the Fronsac appellation and a plush, serious wine for its £14 price tag.
Vibrancy I found in abundance in the Château Marquis de Terme 2012, particularly in the wine which had been aged in their new concrete ‘eggs’ , vats so called for their oval shape. This property has 10% of these eggs in the cellar and blends the results with the traditionally barrel-aged wine. We tasted the 2012 vintage in both its barrel- and egg-aged forms.
The egg-aged wines were the Blu-Ray to the barrel-aged wine’s DVD – – high definition wines, bright, vibrant, mineral which, on their own, may just become too much, exhausting like a beautiful, lively and edgy teenager. Blended with the barrel-aged wines they are tempered, dressed and calmed. Winemaker Ludovic David suggests that the 3000€ egg vats give roundness and purity of fruit due to the shape which allows a natural flow and a gentleness to the lees-stirring. And the more even temperature of the concrete helps to intensify the aromas. So there you go, a classified growth in Margaux going off-piste with its vinification and not only that but, it seems, also planning to be organic in about five years time.
The wines from these three châteaux are already good. Could these innovations make them even better so that they are truly great in perfect vintages and, this is key, good in difficult years? The improved technology will ensure more great and lasting vintages and guarantee Bordeaux’s enduring legacy.
As a PS I really should add that the Château Couhins Blanc 2007 and 2011 were striking though of course 4 years makes a big differnece to their taste. And the Château Marquis de Terme 2005 was excellent put forward as a wine for current drinking but I would have no qualms about keeping it for ten years more.

The main objective of the project is the creation of a mycological reserve with a demonstrative and informative purposes as well as to guarantee the fructification of a wide fungal cortex through the application of waterings. Parallel to this main objective and taking advantage of synergies, an experimental device has been established aiming to evaluate the evolution of fungal ecosystems under climate change scenarios. Specifically, the incidence of rainfall variations on wild mushroom production is evaluated for further analysis on future climate change scenarios.
The experimental device consists of 4 sample units, each composed of four permanent plots, with an area of 60 m2 each. Each plot is randomly distributed within a continuous forest site of Pinus sylvestris with a perimeter delimitation that prevents access and uncontrolled harvest. This space is equipped with an infrastructure for the application of different doses of irrigation through micro irrigation that reach 20 liters per week. Since year one (2017), scenarios with different rainfall conditions are being tested with a parallel development of weekly inventories of macromycetes.
Despite having a short data series (3 years) in a preliminary analysis of the results, in all cases (years) a positive response in the fructification of macromycetes with application of watering has been observed, along with a clear relationship between the fructification and the moment in which irrigation is applied. Moreover, dependence on climatic conditions during the fruiting period has also been noticed. In three inventory campaigns, a total of 6972 macromycetes have been recorded, identifying 75 different mycological species. The informative and demonstrative character of this space was accomplished through an average of 15 visits and 500 visitors per year.
The development of the inventories should be carried out by highly qualified personnel due to the complexity of the identification without collection and to avoid duplication when counting the specimens that have been recorded in previous samples. Despite this peculiarity of the inventory, in most cases the taxonomic classification has been achieved at the species level. To avoid the bias of duplication of specimens, it has been designed an application where it is possible to consult, during the sampling, the specimens registered in previous samplings. The fungal species are registered in the database for further analysis.
The promoter of the space (Natural Heritage Foundation of the Region Castilla y León) and the managing entity (Environmental Territorial Service of Soria) have supported this experimental initiative, while contributing with the necessary resources for the execution of the infrastructure, as well as the development of the fungal inventories. The approach of new experimental designs for an analysis of the variation of the fungal cortex under the influence of climate change requires sophisticated designs of rainwater exclusion structures, in order to avoid the influence of shading and of the water flows eliminated with the forest mass adjacent to the plots.
What, how much, why and at what point? These are some of the answers that we must solve with the experimental designs that are proposed from now on. There is the need for models that relate productions, using tools that quantify accumulated precipitation at any point in the territory, in real time, with great precision and fine scale. The early prediction of the fructification is useful information for the exploitation manager, allowing anticipated actions directed to a sustainable management of resources.

Blackerhall Farm is an award winning farm shop producing and selling locally produced fruit, vegetables and meat. Covering five generations, the family business, now owned by the Garthwaite family, were awarded UK Farm Retailer of The Year in 2014. Established in 1999, the farm has a farm shop with butchery, bakery, delicatessen, wine loft, gift houses and café. More than 80% of everything they sell in the shop is produced by themselves.
The locally grown produce on the farm is available to buy from the greengrocers in their Farm Shop. The produce includes broccoli, purple sprouting broccoli, sweetheart and savoy cabbage, kale and swede.
As part of the high quality shop merchandising, the owners were looking for a professional way to display and sell their produce.
“Our FT14 manual netting machine enables us to do what the big supermarkets do! The end product has a practical and professional look and feel to it and the machine is so easy to use.” Edward Garthwaite, Managing Director, Blackerhall Farm
The machine needed to be able to produce a certain number of packs a day, switching between sprouts, potatoes or other products depending on what needed to be packaged at the time. As well as having a certain budget for the packaging machine, the end produce needed to look professional as well as being practical.
After visiting the site, Xact Prepack Sales Manager, Paul Bennion decided that an FT14 manual netting machine would fit the bill.
The FT14 manual machine cuts, seals and prepares for the next net pack in one easy operation. The end product is a high quality presentation at an affordable price. It is ideal for all types of fruit and veg.
Sales of the produce packaged using the FT14 at Blackerhall Farm have increased. This is due to being able to display produce more effectively and therefore sell more. The management are really impressed with the machine, the results it gives, its ease of use and reliability.

With all of the talk about my plants in my IBC system i have failed to mention the other stars of the show so far. At the moment i am running about 10 yabbies as well as an unknown amount of small feeder fish or gambrusia that i was able to catch from the local river. The Latin name for the yabby is Cherax Destructor and the destructor part of its name is well earned. They are highly territorial and are also cannibalistic, so they don’t mix well with others. I have included a link to Wikipedia below for a bit more reading on them.
I am really hoping that these guys will grow to a size that suitable for eating. I actually caught quite a few more than the 10 in my system, so i cooked them up and ate them. Even with a day or so in fresh water they had a bit of a muddy taste, which i am hoping the guys in the IBC wont have. Even if they do still have the muddy taste i will still keep some as pets. They are a really interesting creature to watch and it is always fun pulling one out of the water to scare someone with. 🙂
I took a few more photos to share today.
I have been having problems with wind absolutely hammering my plants. Solution? Wind break. So i got the tools out of the shed, cracked a beer and got to work. Using leftover pine from making the frame the the grow bed sits on i constructed up the frame for the wind break. I used a sheet of polycarbonate as the material for the wind break so i could still get maximum sunlight on the plants. I should note here that sun light is something i am very conscious about with they whole system being under the back patio. The polycarbonate is hinged along the top to allow me access to the plants from the back of the system. That will save me having to climb on the fish tank to reach back there.
I also planted some new silverbeet plants and i trimmed back my spring onion because it was starting to get a bit old and unruly. I also planted some dwarf beans between the rhubarb and the capsicum plant as well as an unknown creeper type plant that started growing in one of my pots.
Sorry about the poor photo quality. Its the best i could manage with my phone.
The first growth update of my IBC Aquaponics system!
Every thing has been ticking along smoothly for the first 10 days or so. Plants are looking happy and the small gambrusia fish and yabbies that i put in the fish tank are still alive and feeding. I have also been dosing the system with additional ammonia to help the system cycle. Cycling means to establish the bacteria i mentioned in the previous post to a level where they can handle the ammonia load of the trout that i am planning on getting for winter. Usually this process takes 4 – 6 weeks so i still have a while to go, but i dont think the small fish and yabbies will provide enough ammonia to properly cycle the system.

Sustainability and Animal Care
Our farming partners are some of the most important members of the Baileys family.
Since the very first successfully crafted bottle of Baileys, we’ve been supporting Irish farming by working with some of the same family farms, year after year.
We work with them to create a routine for the cows and also for the flora, fauna, land, water and the farm crew. From making sure that the grass stays at its healthiest most perfect shade of green, to maintaining best irrigation practices and minimising waste where possible.
It’s not only to ensure our milk will continue to taste its best, but also so that future herds will have the same perfectly luscious fields to graze upon for countless years to come. It’s important too, that our partner farmers will have the ability to continue passing on the farm to future generations of farmers to come.
We, and our partner farmers, love the cows that make Baileys Irish Cream.
We’ve seen that look of recognition and awe on so many faces when we start talking about our partner farms and their cows. It’s like a lightbulb goes off – of course cows are involved in the Baileys recipe, which is why it is important that the cows are treated with such love and care.
Animal happiness is hugely important to us. For example, Joe plays his favourite music to help his herd relax during the milking process. It may sound a little funny, but that care and attention may just be the secret to the deliciousness in every bottle.
The cows hang out together on grass fed farms, exploring more grass than the eye can see, grazing for roughly 280 days of the year and only coming inside on chilly days. It’s important that our partners cows are comfortable, and to make sure they are, by giving each cow a stress test once a month by an independent technician.

This year’s pumpkin picks. My picks from the field. This is inside the farm shop, the ones already picked from the field. Blessed Be )O(
This Samhain had a blue moon (the second full moon of the month.)
Mabon was special this year because the harvest moon (the nearest full moon to Autumn Equinox) was on Friday 13th.
As darkness began to descend it was time to get cosy in the back garden and light all the pumpkins.
For me there’s always something nostalgic about straw, pumpkins, candlelight and fire.
The small village of Newchurch in Pendle, which is a the foot of Pendle Hill and is home to the witches.
I find Samhain to be the most important teaching Sabbat of the year. You can learn about life, death and all the mysteries in between here.
Leaving out a lantern on the gate to guide wondering spirits home.
My favourite time of the year has arrived again!
Mabon or Autumn Equinox, the brief time where the hours of light and dark match up equally in balance with one another before the onset of the darker half of the year taking over. Darker days, longer nights, low-lying sunsets with a magical cool breeze, the harvest is gone and the trees are shedding beautiful crisp leaves as though they are crying for the death of the Sun God.

The Labexchange Award 2016 goes to the research project: “Recycling Phosphate with Duckweed”
Tiny plants with huge potential
Two Heidelberg students proudly received their Labexchange Award at their laboratory. The Labexchange Foundation awarded them the prize for their impressive research work, undertaken on their own initiative, on the use of duckweed as a “phosphate recycler”.
Many interesting projects were submitted for consideration to the Labexchange Foundation – Wolfgang-Kuster-Stiftung. At the end of the required selection process, the winners were announced: They are students Johann Liebeton and Leon Werner for their duckweed research project.
It was clear from the submitted documentation that the research was concerned with a highly topical issue and was therefore extremely interesting. To take a look at the research project for himself, the foundation’s founder Dr Wolfgang Kuster visited the winners’ laboratory in Heidelberg. Highly impressed by the students’ work and results, he presented them with the Labexchange Award. The award is linked to support in the form of provision of laboratory equipment and furnishings. In order to successfully pursue their research work, the students require additional equipment which will be provided by the Labexchange Foundation.
“Johann Liebeton and Leon Werner’s project is a logical choice for the Labexchange Award, as it honours the research work by these young students which they began while still at school and which they are carrying out on their own initiative,” Dr Wolfgang Kuster explains.
The young scientists have been looking into the biological recycling of phosphates from surface water and the establishment of a sustainable phosphate cycle. The increased use of fertilizers in agriculture has led to the severe pollution of surface water by phosphate salts. By means of laboratory experiments, the young researchers were able to prove that duckweed is ideally suited to phosphate recycling. They proved that these tiny water plants efficiently bind phosphate, nitrate and potassium ions. Duckweed therefore reduces the increased concentration of phosphate salts in surface waters by ecologically sound means. The young researchers also discovered that duckweed is an excellent source of biogas and, furthermore, can even be used as a natural fertilizer.
Under the banner “Tiny plants with huge potential”, this research project and its results are a prime example of how to strike a balance between modern agriculture, sustainable energy generation and environmental protection. The Labexchange Award was created to acknowledge this kind of innovative scientific insight, which serves the common good and the protection of the environment.
In 2014, to mark the 25th anniversary of Labexchange – Die Laborgerätebörse, Wolfgang Kuster set up the Labexchange Foundation – Wolfgang-Kuster-Stiftung. This is a charitable foundation which is dedicated in particular to the promotion of healthcare, art and culture, environmental protection, the welfare system and the common good. Support takes the form of both financial resources and the provision of diagnostic and analytic laboratory equipment and furnishings free of charge. The foundation offers regular support to social projects and presents the annual Labexchange Award.

Baia’s Wine, in collaboration with the Cardano Foundation, is revolutionizing the Georgian wine industry by leveraging the power of blockchain technology. Through the use of blockchain, Baia’s Wine is bringing unprecedented transparency and traceability to their supply chain, reducing carbon footprint, and promoting sustainability. In this blog, we will explore how blockchain is being utilized by Baia’s Wine to authenticate their products, track their supply chain activities, and contribute to environmental conservation efforts.
Authenticating Baia’s Wine
With the help of blockchain, Baia’s Wine is able to ensure the authenticity of their products from farm to table. The unique blockchain system manages Baia’s Wine supply chain, storing a full record of supply chain data that can be easily verified by consumers. This eliminates the risk of counterfeit or fraudulent wines entering the market, thereby reducing wasteful consumption and promoting sustainable practices. By providing an immutable record of every step in the supply chain, blockchain helps to build trust among consumers and fosters responsible consumption, ultimately contributing to a lower carbon footprint.
Tracking Supply Chain Activities
Blockchain enables Baia’s Wine to have complete visibility into their supply chain activities. Every stage of production, from harvesting to bottling to distribution, is recorded on the blockchain, creating a transparent and traceable system. This allows Baia’s Wine to identify inefficiencies, optimize processes, and reduce waste, leading to a more sustainable and eco-friendly production process. Additionally, the ability to track the origin of every bottle of wine using blockchain helps to promote local and sustainable sourcing practices, further reducing the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transportation.
Promoting Sustainability and Conservation Efforts
The Cardano Foundation, as an independent Swiss not-for-profit organization, is dedicated to promoting sustainable and inclusive growth through the adoption of blockchain. By partnering with Baia’s Wine and other environmentally-conscious organizations, the Foundation is driving the adoption of blockchain technology for sustainable supply chain management. The use of blockchain by Baia’s Wine not only reduces the carbon footprint of the wine industry but also contributes to the conservation of the environment by promoting transparency, traceability, and responsible consumption.
The collaboration between Baia’s Wine and the Cardano Foundation exemplifies how blockchain technology can be harnessed for the benefit of the environment and carbon footprint reduction. By leveraging the transparency, traceability, and immutability of blockchain, Baia’s Wine is able to ensure the authenticity of their products, track their supply chain activities, and promote sustainability in the wine industry. As blockchain technology continues to advance and gain wider adoption, we can expect more innovative use cases like Baia’s Wine and Cardano that contribute to a greener and more sustainable future.

Due to the circumstances regarding coronavirus, Mirabelle Bakery will only be open for takeaway 13 March through 29 March. As always, you are able to preorder your baked goods from Mirabelle Bakery for collection in the window.
Furthermore, we will be transformed into a grocery shop/bakery where we try and create a connection between our local producers and our community. We will sell you fresh and cured meats from Hindsholmgrisen and eggs from Hegnsholt and soon vegetables from Farm of Ideas. And, of course, coffee to go.
It will not be possible to book a table
Opening hours will be wednesday – sunday 7.00 till 19.00.
Organic eatery in Nørrebro
Welcome to Mirabelle Restaurant – a place where we serve the best seasonal and organic dishes for lunch and dinner. The atmosphere is intimate and relaxed in our small restaurant. You are seated close to each other with a live view of our bakery, where all of our bread, pastry, and fresh pasta is made in the morning and daytime.
Fresh, seasonal vegetables and sustainable fish mean a lot to us. Together with our housemade pasta, the menus will satisfy vegetarians and fish eaters alike. When you choose one of our menu’s, there will always be one or several green dishes in the servings.
Organic and local produce, seasonality and quality is the cornerstone of our kitchen and our heart beats for Italian craftsmanship and Danish produce; but when it makes sense, we switch the two around. Our vegetables are primarily from Farm of Ideas – our own organic farm only 50 km from the bakery. Every day our chefs harvest fresh vegetables and unique herbs, for the Relæ Community – hand-grown, harvested and served for you daily!
In the middle of the restaurant, you will find our small but effective bakery – Mirabelle Bakery. Here, our skillful bakers produce the most delicious sourdough bread and the best croissants. The sourdough bread is also served in the restaurant, but to experience Mirabelle Bakery to the fullest we encourage you to visit us in the early hours or simply order your baked goods for takeaway.

If you raise cows for a living or enjoy learning about this animal, you’ll be interested in what do cows like to eat. Cows love to graze during the day and enjoy a wide variety of food choices. As a farmer, it’s essential for the cattle to remain healthy and eat well.
The key to a happy cow will depend on what this animal consumes each day. Here are seven different types of food that cows like to eat:
Hay is the favourite food for cows. It’s no secret that cows like to eat hay. This is probably the first thing that comes to mind when you think of what may be on this animal’s daily menu.
There are varying types of hay that you can feed cattle. It’s unlikely that most types won’t be enjoyed by this specific breed regardless of what many of these may be.
Barley is one of the most popular foods that cows like to eat. You’ll want to have a healthy serving of barely around if you have one or hundreds of cows on your farm. This is a grain that was cultivated as early as 10,000 years ago. It’s one of the top items that any farmer will have in stock to feed this animal.
Fortunately, barely is loaded with nutrients and may be the ideal way to help keep your cow healthy. Adding several doses of barley a day to the life of your cow is highly recommended.
If you have a huge farm with a lot of grass on it, this could be the key to keeping your cows well-fed. Cows like eating grass and may be the ideal way to feed your cow.
Fortunately, the grass isn’t expensive and could be part of the daily diet for this animal. It may take a lot of green to keep several cows well-fed, and this should be considered.
4. Dry feed
You can purchase dry feed from many locations that cater to what you cow may enjoy eating. This is typically available at varying feed stores.
Dry feed is an ideal way to ensure this animal will always have some feed on hand. It’s easy to store and can make feeding your cattle an easier task. Of course, you’ll want to shop around for the best price possible before making this purchase.
Having a diet of grains for your cows is one thing that many people may do. This isn’t that hard to accomplish but will require work and effort to achieve.
There are varying qualities of grain that are available for your cows to enjoy eating. You’ll want to consider your budget and then decide the best grain to give your cows.
Cows like to eat oats as a treat. Old-fashioned oats may be the feed of choice that you give your cows. These do offer a lot of nutrients that can help the coat of any cow look more attractive when eaten daily.
If you want a healthy cow, then you’ll be sure to feed this animal oats regularly. Oats can be varied to include barley and grain for variety and may allow your cow to be well fed.
7. Salt licks
One of the favourite treats to give your cow is salt licks. Many farmers keep these on hand because of how much this animal enjoys licking these throughout the day.
Salt licks offer some essential nutrients that this animal will genuinely enjoy having. Some of the many minerals in this item help develop the muscles of the cow and provide digestive support, as well.
8. Wet feed
You may find wet feed is something you’ll want to give this animal type. Wet feed is made of fermented barley, oats and Alfalfa. This can be an ideal food to keep on hand for your cows to eat on a routine basis. You can rest assured your animals will be well nourished and ready to face the day with a healthy supply of wet feed. It’s a great idea to have your local feed store create this mixture for your cow.
Ensuring your cow remains healthy and continues to maintain or gain weight is essential. This will depend on the foods you give this animal routinely. It’s impossible to have a cow that’s healthy without providing the right nutrients daily. Ensuring the proper foods are fed at the right time of the day is important too. When you include foods that cows like to eat, this can make a huge difference in how this animal looks in the years ahead.

Great Food, No Compromise
We grow delicious, GMO and pesticide-free vegetables on our 1 hectare farm located in St Catharines, ON.
From seed to your salad we believe that growing naturally is not only important for your health, but for the environment as well. In that spirit, we aim to work with nature, rather than fight against it.
At Creek Shore Farms we utilize these practices:
- using untreated seed, fertilizing only with manure or sustainably sourced liquid fish, aggressive pre-planting weed management and encouraging natural predators to reduce pest pressures, while managing those pressures to an acceptable level.
Community Supported Agriculture = Supporting the Community
Great food should not just be for those who can afford it.
We believe strongly in our CSA program as a model for providing good quality food for those who can afford it. And we believe just as strongly in reversing the CSA model and working towards agriculture supporting the community. It is our commitment to provide vegetables, as we can, at the same level of quality that our CSA members receive in their weekly baskets, to our local good bank, Community Care of St. Catharines and Thorold. Our resolve is so strong in this commitment that we made it an official part of our business plan with our long term goal being that we provide 15% of our production capacity to those in need.
It’s All in the Name
Although our farm is not officially on the shore of any might creek, our farm is located in the centre of the Creek Shores sub-appellation and so we adopted our specific geographic qualities as our name.
We wanted a name that reflected our location, and our commitment to providing premium produce in our region.
In Niagara, grape growing regions are divided into sub-appellations which reflect the terroir, or specific qualities found in grapes. We wanted to extend that principle to the vegetables used in scrumptious local foods and paired with the terroir of wine.
Thus Creek Shore Farms was born, but not officially on the shores of any mighty creek.
To learn more about the terroir of our region visit VQA Ontario-Appellations and read about the specific qualities the topography, soil and climate bring to growing great food.
Who Are We
We are Amanda and Ryan Thiessen, husband and wife team, married in 2006 and still just as in love as the day we met.
In May of 2012, we added a new member to our team. Sydney Anne Thiessen is currently apprenticing in our long term program. We enjoy spending our time mountain miking, camping and cozied up watching movies. Even during our busiest times of the year, we find time to be together.

of Project 52
When we started our veggie garden many moons ago, our 9-year old wanted to start her own little field of flowers. So, she bought a packet of sunflower seeds and planted those in a small container. Of the seeds in our garden, the sunflowers were the first to sprout and continued to grow exponentially.
Our 3 year old wanted his own container, so we planted some more. He inspects his plants often and makes sure that they are watered regularly.
Our sunflower plants are now at least 2 feet high and loaded with lots of buds and blooms. They have since outgrown their small containers and are planted directly in the soil. We now have a total of at least 15 sunflower plants and the number continues to rise.
Of course, these babies are the perfect subjects when trying out our new lens and extender tube combination.
We have been able to capture angles and details we do not typically see using our standard lenses. And, just to put things in perspective, these blooms are about 1-2 inches in diameter from tip to tip (2 inches for the flowers that are fully open).
Our kids love watching the blooms face up to the sun mid-day and gently bow down towards the end of the day. We call it the sunflower dance.
In another month or so, one side of our flower beds would probably be outrun by sunflowers. But we are not complaining...
Happy weekend, everyone!

Nothing brings a new pond alive so quickly as adding some plants. Once you’ve selected some good examples, all that remains to do is plant them – and that usually involves using either pond baskets or planting into beds. Both approaches have their place – and each has its own particular advantages.
Pond Plant Baskets
Most of the plants you’ll buy will come in some kind of pot or basket – and growing them this way in your own pond has a lot to recommend it.
There are many designs of purpose-made pots and containers, but generally speaking they are intended to do a fairly similar job. Compared with normal plant pots, pond baskets tend to have broader, flatter bases, which helps them to stay stable in the water, especially when holding some of the taller types of marginal plants. It also makes them better suited to fitting on the narrow planting shelves typically seen in many proprietary pre-formed pond liners.
The sides of these containers are typically made of plastic mesh, with the strips usually fairly widely spaced to allow easy movement of water and dissolved gases. In most cases, it is necessary to line them before use, to keep the growing medium in place, although some types of the pots and containers on sale have fine mesh sides anyway which makes this unnecessary. For the old-time water gardeners, hessian sacking used to be the material of choice, but these days closely-woven polypropylene tends to be the thing most pond keepers use.
Pond Plant Containers
Containers range in size from around 2 inch (5cm) pots for very small water features, to 16 or 18 inch (40 or 45cm) baskets and there are also large circular bowls with solid sides, designed to be used to keep the more rapidly growing types of water lilies from taking over the pond.
The main advantage of this type of planting lies in its convenience. With baskets, it’s a simple matter to rearrange your planting regime if and when you want to and any necessary maintenance, pruning or division is very easy to do. For plants such as water lilies which need to be gradually lowered to their correct final position, container planting is the only way to go.
Permanent Planting Beds in ponds
Although in natural lakes – and specially created wildlife ponds – the plants grow in the soil at the bottom, in the ornamental garden pond, this is seldom a good approach since the most vigorous kinds will quickly swamp their neighbours and removing them is made difficult.
The permanent planting bed is a way of allowing fast-growing or invasive plants to grow in a near-natural way, without allowing them to choke the whole pond.
Planting beds in the deep water at the bottom of the pond are fairly straightforward to establish, but those for marginals normally need to be built-in to the pond during construction. You need to allow a deeper than usual shelf, of at least 10 inches (25cm) in depth and width, with a small retaining wall to keep the soil in place.
To avoid too much disturbance, beds are normally planted up ahead of the pond being finally filled with water.
The main bonus of this type of planting is that it allows plants to maintain a natural look, while preventing them from spreading too much and it also provides greater stability to taller plants, especially in windy areas. However, planting beds are not really for fish-keepers – unless they’re happy to never see their fish again through all that muddy water!
An attractive pond is a highpoint in any garden – and whether you opt for beds or baskets – getting the planting right can make all the difference.

THE CRUCIAL IMPORTANCE OF BEES:
WHY WE NEED TO TAKE ACTION TO SAVE BEES
Did you know that bees are responsible for pollinating over a third of the world's crops, including the majority of fruits, vegetables, and nuts? These tiny but mighty creatures play a vital role in our ecosystem, and their decline poses a serious threat to food security and biodiversity.
Without bees, our food systems and ecosystems could be thrown into chaos. The decline of bee populations can have a domino effect on other species and threaten the stability of food systems worldwide. That's why it's crucial that we take action to protect and preserve these critical pollinators. Let's work together to ensure a healthy future for bees, our planet, and ourselves.

Did you know that 1 mm of rain on a 1m2 area = 1 Litre of water and 25mm rain on a 1000m2 area = 25000Litres of water. How amazing is this!!!
Imagine how much free water you can collect from rain fall and store in Makoro tanks for future use for your garden, your livestock and home usage. Just imagine how much money you can save from collecting free water and less stress from times when there is no rain, your plants and your animals will not suffer and your harvest will be a fruitful one.
Did you know that 25mm of rain on 1 hectare = 25 000litres? This means that on an area of 1000 hectare, if you are getting 80mm of rain = 800 000litres x 1000 hectare = 800 000 000 litres of rain water. Just do the maths and see how incredible this is!!!
Did you know that flushing a toilet uses up to 6 litres of water per person, now if 3 people flush the toilet twice a day for 365 days they use (3x2x6x365) = 13 140 litres of water.
Don’t forget to always ensure that the gutters are cleaned of leaves and debris. Fine chicken mesh can be placed on the inside of the gutter, the down-pipe to stop some debris pending on placement of tanks.
Use Makoro tanks and collect rain water and thank us later!!!!!

Ever since I have been able to use Garmin GPS I can now grow crops more effectively than before.
You might wonder to yourself “How can some Podunk farmer grow better with GPS?” Well, first of all, we’re not all like that, and secondly the trick is how you manage it on your land. With my Garmin GPS mapping and my tractors and planters using it I can fit more crop onto one field than ever before, by making precision decision, as I say. First of all let’s say you have yourself a nice mapped out chunk of land that is the shape of a square, and it is a total of 10 acres of land. Well, the old way was planting by eye, or trying to drive in a straight line for reference lines and then doing it. Of course there was nothing really wrong with that, but small deviations created what could only be described as the butterfly effect.
In basic terms it means small actions at the beginning could lead to large results at the end. If one of the workers I hire goes off and changes less than a degree in the angle of the crop line, it doesn’t seem like much – but down the line it could equal to a whole line of crop being abandoned because it can’t be fit into the parcel of land. Furthermore I can now map out the land easier, quicker, and make the rows just barely an inch tighter, and fit in an extra row of, oh, let’s say corn. By mapping it out using accurate maps, and Garmin GPS I can make sure that my crops will grow correctly and the way I want.
That also means that in my farm trucks, like the big one Jose uses, he can take it down the field and use the big seeder in an absolute straight line after making perfect reference lines with the truck. Additionally to that, Jose can also drive the seeder using a handheld Garmin GPS fitted to the dashboard, and know if he’s going straight enough or not. The entire GPS has allowed me to marginally increase my production, which means I increase my profit, and by doing that keep my farming as profitable as possible, in spite of these times.
I know I may not have a big farm, or a large workforce, but by being able to map out my land and then plot out crops and use land that was previously wasted I am able to take full advantage of the Garmin GPS to make sure I put food on the plates of people who buy my corn and other crops. I can also use those spaces between the land that were previously unused because of poor planning to grow smaller crops, such as tomatoes; in some areas I also plan to put in a few pumpkins too. With those crops I’ll be able to sell just a little bit more and that makes a big difference down the line. Like I said, the butterfly effect, it’s responsible for variations costing me money, but also variations that can make me money too. By saving what is insignificant as an inch, it grants me a foot every twelve rows, and after three sets of twelve, that is three extra feet of growing room – something I could have never done without the Garmin GPS.

Funded by California Wheat Commission (CWC), Golden State Grains is a platform which provides marketing and educational tools and resources in support of high quality grain growing and handling for farmers to distribute some of their grains to local businesses.
Building Golden State Grains’ website for California Wheat Commission on Webflow. This includes an all-in-one solution to creating a marketplace for California grown grain. The main purpose was to create a web tool as a support system for farmers and collaborators to build a broad and more inclusive community.
We started the project with visual design and branding as a part of the design process. The next stage included different phases like discovery, Style Guide creation and Responsive User Experience and Interface Design.
After completing the design process, we completed the deployment process with the help of Webflow which is a website building and hosting software.
With the insights received from the California Wheat Commission, we led several collaborative sessions to implement the platform. This platform provides knowledge and additional resources to people and businesses wanting to learn about wheat and other grains grown the California State.
As a result of our exercises, Golden State Grains was successfully able to release their website within 2 months. This platform allowed Golden State Grains to connect and grow 50+ Wheat Businesses in the State of California.

Cool Tube Reflectors can lower temperatures in the growing environment by up to 10 degrees.
Simply join one or more cool tubes together with 150mm ducting and a fan, and you can blow most of the hot air created by lighting straight out of the growing environment. The heat from the lights doesn't get a chance to warm anything up!!
The use of Cooltubes allows you to place your globes much closer to your plants without any burning. This in turn increases lumen exposure, resulting in much larger yields.
They are also suited for floor lighting. Growers can position them upside down with the light shining up underneath the plants. The globe is fully shielded within the glass tube and all heat can again be vented straight out of the room!

We ate our first garden-raised tomato ten days ago. I’m not kidding. It came from Stephanie’s garden. We also ate our first strawberries of the year, also from Stephanie’s garden. Radishes are the only thing we’ve eaten so far from my garden.
It’s not a competition. Our gardening styles are different, and some of the things we grow are different. She’s not growing radishes; I am. We’re both growing tomatoes, but even though we bought some similar plants, not all of the plants were from the same flat. When you have a mixed marriage like ours (everything’s different – politics, rural v. urban, age, etc.) you have to accept the other’s idiosyncrasies and choices.
Stephanie bought an Early Girl plant with a tomato about the size of a golf ball on it. I have purchased plants with blossoms showing, but never with an actual fruit on it. I’m always cautious. That one fruit can damn the whole plant, in my nonfactual opinion. However, this one particular tomato turned out perfect. As a matter-of-fact, we have eaten the second tomato off that plant and have another sitting on the window sill waiting to ripen. Ripe tomatoes in June is a rarity. I guess she showed me. That’s all right. My garden will produce bushels of produce once it gets going. I learned patience from a prayer I made up. “God, grant me patience, and grant it to me NOW!”
Our garden plots are in different locations. Stephanie’s garden is in Pleasant Hill (a house we own jointly with her eldest); my garden is in Des Moines. Because we live close to the Des Moines River, you would think the soil would be black river bottom dirt. No, it isn’t. Two inches deep and you run into clay. Less than a mile from the Des Moines home is a former brick factory, which explains why we have so much clay. The soil at Pleasant Hill is much better.
Both gardens are threatened by the usual pests. I get more deer. These guys will eat right through the deer repellant. I have even used hot sauce without having any sort of effect. The deer in this area must be from a country in which the cuisine is known to be hot. We do provide water. Since the back yard here is a “Certified Wildlife Habitat” by the National Wildlife Federation, founded by Iowa’s Pulitzer Prize Cartoonist Ding Darling, we’re going to get critters. We expect them, and we get them. It’s not good for the lettuce, cup plants, or lilies, but they don’t seem to bother the radishes or onions, or especially the hemlock plants that grow wild.
Yesterday, I made strawberry salsa for the first time. I have made tomato salsa and peach salsa, but this strawberry salsa has a separate taste of its own (I leave out cilantro). It has inspired me to make as many salsas as I can. Not to sound like Bubba on Jenny (Forest Gump’s shrimp boat), but you can make salsa out of just about anything: cherry salsa; corn salsa; beet salsa; apple salsa; and orange salsa. Don’t try to make cabbage salsa; but I suppose you could.
I began gardening when I was a young boy. My garden was one of the best in town, especially because Mom told me she didn’t want weeds. If it was going to go to weeds, she would plant grass back in the garden plot. That was enough of an incentive to keep everything that looked like a weed from growing within six inches of the garden. I was so excited when Howdy Lindberg came up the alley with his little Ford tractor with a plow on the back and plowed up a 15’ x 30’ section of the yard. Mom wasn’t home. I’m the one who told Howdy how much land needed to be tilled. I guess it was too much – at first! End results were enough to keep it up for years. My brother Joe took over after I couldn’t take care of it anymore (got a real job during the summer and after school).
That first year I grew radishes, onions, carrots, peas (which didn’t pan out), tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and Zinnias. Mom said I couldn’t grow corn because it would bring rats to the yard. I believed her. No green beans! I like them now, but despised them as an adolescent.
I was also delivering the Omaha World-Herald evening newspaper about that time. One of the first customers on my route was the Vail Independent Telephone Company. I had to walk up about 20 stairs to get to the lobby of the office. In the lobby there was a door with the top half open and the bottom half closed so that people could pay their telephone bill without mailing it. It was also where I left the newspaper.
If the switchboard wasn’t too busy, one of the nice ladies would chat with me, unless it was Louise. Louise, the owner, didn’t chat with anyone. But Stacia Robinson, Bonita Gallagher, and Marg Adams, the other operators, were charming.
Marg knew I had a garden and often asked how things were growing. “Pretty good,” I would say. “Got my first cucumber today.” “No, Marty,” Marg responded. “You cannot have a cucumber in June.” The next day, I brought her a cucumber out of my garden. If she were still alive, she might still be skeptical. And I started the cucumbers by seed.
It may have been one of my sisters (CFR) who told me she couldn’t grow cucumbers because they didn’t have a hill. Maybe it was someone else who told me that. I’m not sure. I shouldn’t pick on my older sister like that. I hope I don’t have to explain this.
Growing fruits and vegetables is one of my favorite pastimes. Actually, it can be a lot of work. But what other job gives you so much pride and happiness, and something to eat! The end result is always rewarding. The sad part of gardening today is that climate change may have us rotating our crops to cacti next year.
My garden is growing in raised boxes. Stephanie’s garden is fenced in to protect it from the bunny living under the deck. Harvesting veggies is a process in which whatever you’re craving is just about ready. Whether it comes from Stephanie’s garden or my garden, we enjoy it thoroughly.
We don’t compete; we eat!

Rhizobia are soil bacteria that fix nitrogen into plants and soils through their symbiosis within legume root nodules. Rhizobia compatible with our exotic crop and pasture legumes aren’t naturally present in Australian soils. So, many highly effective nitrogen-fixing bacteria have been sourced from other parts of the world and introduced as commercial inoculant strains.
However, it has become increasingly clear that the genetic diversity of strains nodulating legumes far exceeds the diversity of strains introduced as inoculants. This could partly be explained by horizontal transfer of symbiosis genes between inoculants and pre-existing soil bacteria, creating new and not always effective hybrid rhizobia. It could also be due to the accumulation of mutations giving rise to newly evolved rhizobia.
In both cases, these novel symbionts can outcompete inoculants to nodulate target legumes, reducing the benefits of legume inoculation to growers. However, we lack the genomic data on the more than 40 commercial legume inoculants needed to develop management strategies to combat suboptimal effectiveness. In this project, we have developed an in-house complete genome sequencing, assembly, annotation, and polishing pipeline to provide these critical baseline data and are using this resource to answer questions of rhizobial evolution and function.
About the Speaker
Dr Maclean Kohlmeier completed his PhD in Microbiology in 2020 at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, where he developed an interest in bacterial metabolism and symbiosis in root nodule bacteria. He pursued this interest with the Legume Rhizobium Sciences group at Murdoch University, where he was offered a Postdoctoral researcher position. He utilises genetic strategies as well as whole genome sequencing techniques to uncover the intricacies of metabolism, symbiosis, and gene transfer the rhizobia.

Organic farming has come to San Miguel. I know of two organic farms - one where you can go and buy the produce. Another, Via Organica, which has a small storefront in Col. Guadalupe. I'm sure there are more farms. At the Col Guadalupe store not only can you buy fresh organic fruit and produce, but also freshly made pastas and specialty fruit drinks such as jamaica and chia seed. In addition to raising organic vegetables at the farm, there also are classes for campesinos to teach them how to grow organic and how to make organic fertilizers. All this is free. In a class held recently out at the property and gardens of Via Organica, 200 campesinos attended. Quite a historic event.
There are plans to grow heirloom seeds since so many seeds now are genetically modified. It is an ambitious plan. The man who is spearheading all of this moved to the area from New Hampshire where he was involved with the organic farming movement in the USA. He has put together a team including a nutritionist, certified and educated in the USA, but originally from Peru.
The photos are some of the things growing in the greenhouse and the fields. The first two photos are oyster mushrooms. I have never seen them grown this way. The growing material is sterilized saw dust and other compost materials. The third photo is one of my favorite vegetables, brussel sprouts.
This last photo is the row of brussel sprouts. I had no idea the plants grow this large. The times they are a'changing. It is quite an operation and it was very interesting to have had the opportunity to see all of it. For more information you can go to http://www.viaorganica.org/

Other useful sections include a chart showing how much to plant if you just want to eat stuff in season, and how much extra if you want to store food for the winter (canning, freezing, etc) for an average-size family. There are instructions on how to most efficiently layout the garden, how to garden in small spaces (including building your own strawberry barrel), how to start plants early or grow them through the winter in a hotbed, coldframe or greenhouse (with some instructions on building those things yourself) and even how to grow plants without soil! (although the hydroponic method sounds terribly tedious).
One chapter of the book describes each vegetable with specific growing instructions, another is dedicated to berries and vines, and a third to herbs. I found the black-and-white line drawings here quite charming. I especially appreciated the herb section, although it made me laugh that the book says of coriander "Although the dried seed have a pleasant flavor, the fresh foliage and seed of this plant have a disagreeable odor." It even recommends planting coriander in an out-of-the-way place in your garden so you don't have to smell it! Nothing is mentioned of using the leaves. I know this plant by the name cilantro, and we grow it mainly to use the leaves in salsas. I do dry some seed to use as coriander in pho soup, but not much. And I happen to like the scent of it in the garden.
Another very useful section is where the book identifies beneficial insects, and also has a photo gallery to help you identify pests and diseases. For the first time I now know what the bug that ate my broccoli is! So, even though the book feels dated in some parts, it's certainly already been useful to me and I'm keeping it around.

In the vast world of rice varieties, one grain stands out with an unrivalled aroma, slender shape, and exquisite taste – Basmati rice. Known as the “queen of fragrance,” Basmati has earned its royal status in the culinary realm for its unique qualities that set it apart from other rice varieties, rightfully establishing it as the best long grain rice in India. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the exceptional characteristics that make Basmati the best rice for daily use and the undisputed choice for discerning palates.
The Basmati Legacy
Originating from the foothills of the Himalayas, Basmati rice has a rich history that dates back centuries. The name “Basmati” is derived from the Sanskrit word “Vasmati,” meaning fragrant or aromatic. The unique geography and climate of the Himalayan region contribute to the distinct aroma and flavour of the best long grain rice in India.
Best Rice for Daily Use
When it comes to choosing the best rice for daily use, Basmati rice effortlessly claims the throne. Its long grains and fluffy texture make it a versatile staple that complements a wide array of dishes. Whether you’re preparing biryanis, pilafs, or simple steamed rice, Basmati adds a touch of sophistication to every meal.
The Charminar Rozana Experience: A Case Study
Charminar Rozana Rice, a trusted name in the world of Basmati, is known for its commitment to delivering the finest grains to households across India. Sourced from the heartland of Basmati cultivation, Charminar Rozana Rice undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure that only the best grains make it to your kitchen.
What sets Charminar Rozana Rice apart is its ability to consistently provide long, slender grains that cook to perfection, offering a delightful texture and an irresistible aroma. This makes it the best long-grain rice in India, catering to the culinary preferences of those who demand nothing but the finest.
Are guests coming over? Well, fret not, as something like Charminar Rozana Basmati is well-placed to take care of all your culinary requirements there are.
The Aroma of Basmati
One of the most captivating features of Basmati rice is its enchanting aroma. The grains release a distinct fragrance during cooking, filling the kitchen with an inviting scent that heightens the anticipation of the meal to come. This natural fragrance is attributed to the specific compounds present in Basmati rice, creating an unparalleled sensory experience.
Not only does the aroma add a sensory dimension to the dining experience, but it also indicates the quality and authenticity of the Basmati rice. The best rice is not just about taste and texture; it’s about engaging all the senses, and Basmati excels in this aspect.
Cooking with Basmati
The cooking process plays a crucial role in bringing out the best in Basmati rice. To ensure that you enjoy the full spectrum of its flavours and aromas, it’s essential to follow a few key steps.
Firstly, rinse the rice thoroughly to remove excess starch, which can make the grains sticky. Soaking the rice for about 30 minutes before cooking helps achieve the perfect fluffiness. Use the absorption method, allowing the rice to absorb the water gradually, resulting in light, separate grains.
For an extra touch of indulgence, consider adding a cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, or a bay leaf to the cooking water. These aromatic additions enhance the overall flavour profile of the Basmati rice, turning a simple side dish into a culinary masterpiece.
Health Benefits of Basmati Rice
Beyond its culinary allure, Basmati rice also offers health benefits that make it a wholesome choice for daily consumption. Basmati rice has a lower glycemic index compared to many other rice varieties, making it a preferred option for those mindful of their blood sugar levels.
Additionally, Basmati rice is naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. The long-grain rice is also a good source of complex carbohydrates, providing sustained energy without causing rapid spikes in blood sugar.
Basmati rice contains essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and fibre. These contribute to overall well-being and make it a nutritious foundation for a balanced diet. By choosing Basmati rice, you not only indulge your taste buds but also nourish your body with a wholesome grain.
Basmati in Global Cuisine
While Basmati rice has deep roots in Indian cuisine, its popularity has transcended borders, becoming a staple in global kitchens. Renowned chefs and home cooks alike appreciate the versatility of Basmati, using it as a canvas to create diverse dishes that cater to a variety of palates.
From Mediterranean pilafs to Mexican rice bowls, Basmati adapts seamlessly to different culinary traditions, adding its signature fragrance and texture to each creation. The global embrace of Basmati attests to its universal appeal and the cultural bridge it forms through the shared love of exceptional food.
Sustainability and Basmati Farming
As the demand for Basmati rice continues to rise, it’s crucial to address the sustainability of its cultivation. Basmati rice is primarily grown in the fertile plains of the Himalayan region, where responsible farming practices are essential to preserve the ecosystem.
Many Basmati producers, including Charminar Rozana Rice, are committed to sustainable and eco-friendly farming methods. These practices not only ensure the long-term viability of Basmati cultivation but also contribute to the well-being of the local communities and the environment.

Why Is Organic Healthy?
Because of the many health benefits organic foods can cater to and because of the many more people trying to learn about these kinds of things and wanting to live better and healthier lives, the organic food industry has been booming a ton these past few months and years. Farmers are very much careful with how they grow these organic plants, and they always make sure that their plants only grow through natural means, so they don’t typically use artificial pesticides to have some pests shy away from their harvests, or some synthetic fertilizers to have their plants grow right away.I Many people would get the wrong notion that living the organic way is a very expensive lifestyle, because apparently the supply of organic products could not meet the high demand for it, making them pricey, but in the long run we actually get to spend less than those who eat unhealthy, because then we wont have to worry about hospital bills.
One of the many advantages and benefits that a person can get out of eating healthily through organic foods is that they get even healthier when they do, and their bodies get so much shield from all the different types of diseases, making them live healthier and happier as compared to others who don’t eat organic stuff. Conventional methods for farming would usually entail a farmer to make use of some tools and materials that organic farmers don’t utilize, like those fertilizers that are synthetic to make the crops grow fast, or those artificial pesticides that are used in order for pests not to lurk on the harvests. Usually, the chemicals that are put on these plants, even though they have already served their purpose in the field, they still stay with the plants up until the plants will be put to the grocery stores to be sold, and it can be hard to remove them, which is why they are harmful and can jeopardize lives of humans who eat them. The other bad thing about this is, these chemicals and heavy metals on the plants can be collected, when eaten, inside really important body organs, like the kidneys, the bones, or the liver, and they can actually cost a person’s life. Through time and through eating these plants too much, our bodies would then accumulate so much of these heavy metals and chemicals, making our vital organs weaker and weaker, and causing us to have illnesses and serious diseases, or worse, even causing us our lives. If you are a person who loves to eat organic stuff, you wont have to worry about these types of problems, because since the foods you eat are all produced by natural means, there will be no worries with regards to chemicals and destructive heavy metals clogging up your body.

This evening I will pop a link in the side navigation that will take you to one of the most awesome websites I have ever found. This will feature a plan of my allotment plot and what I will be growing, or at least attempting to grow. In the mean time, I have cleared one bed, and now have some sort of growing transpiring.
Having transplanted the rather poor crop of tomatoes that have grown this year, and some half dead spuds, it now looks like someone is tending to the place, rather than a stinging nettle farm. I will add a couple of pics, but it still looks like a mess. But less of a mess than it did.

The sales data, collected by the market research firm SPINS, was obtained from natural food stores only, excluding Whole Foods Market and mass-market food and pharmacy stores, and thus under-represents actual sales by a factor of two to three.
Market wide data on the much larger sales of hemp fiber-based products such as clothing, paper and auto parts was not part of this new research. Industrial hemp is used in the natural fiber composites that have rapidly replaced fiberglass as the material of choice for vehicle interiors. European plants are making hemp auto panels that are biodegradable, half the weight, more durable, and safer than fiberglass counterparts.
At least three million cars in North America already have hemp-based components in them. Hemp cultivation exceeds 50, acres in Canada, compared to 24, acres in4, acres in Europe hemp cultivation is now estimated at 40, acres. Saskatchewan Hemp Association holds that the hemp market is vulnerable to price fluctuations dependent in part on supply. Successful hemp farmers in Saskatchewan have emphasized quality, and created enduring relationships with buyers.
A good yield is about lbs an acre, but average yields of lbs. Add to this whatever a producer can get for the hemp stalks. Hemp grain yields over the years have been variable. Yields in Canada have been reported from to 1, pounds per acre. Check out mmpp. Hemp is the ideal green cop because it can produce food, fiber, pulp, and cellulose for thousand of industries without using toxic pesticides, herbicides, fungicides or even fertilizer if grown in a proper crop rotation.
In Montana, and in the Midwest, agricultural hemp would produce the most cellulosic biomass of any plant, which would make farmers the most possible money per acre. Cellulose is the building blocks of paper, plastics, and bio-composites auto panels. Biomass is plant matter. The more plant matter a crop produces per acre, the more money the farmer gets. The higher that biomass is in cellulose, the more money the farmer generates. This would create several green local and regional transportation, processing, and manufacturing facilities that would be built up around the reemergence of agricultural hemp.
Hemp farming is ideal because it distributes money from the bottom up starting with the farmer, who stands to make much more money if hemp were legal. Next in line are the local and regional transportation, processing, and manufacturing industries that would be created if hemp were legal.
Hemp farming could help bridge the gap between the rich and the poor and make the American farming industry viable again, and all without harming the environment. The hemp industry is clearly ready to expand. It is fast becoming a part of a brighter tomorrow.How to Calculate the Amount of CBD in Hemp

This calculator helps you work out how much CBD in milligrams — mg are in each drop of a given product and how many you should take for your desired dose. A typical starting dose of CBD ranges from 5 — 15mg. With so many CBD products on the market all coming in different sizes and concentrations, choosing the right brand and oil is challenging. Once you have identified a short list of trustworthy suppliers who:. You can use our CBD dosage calculator to compare products purely based on price per milligram mg of CBD, allowing you to make a more informed and the most economical choice.
The cheapest bottle of CBD you can find is most likely not the best deal or product to buy. CBD tinctures come in many different concentrations. One drop of one product does not equal one drop of another, a common mistake seen within CBD communities when people give out dosage advice.
One real-world example:. Post Processing — Take that 10 pounds of crude oil and refine it into 7. From grinding, to decarboxylating, to supercritical co2 extraction, to winterization, to dewaxing, to rotovaping and wipe film distillation are all parts of processing that you can financially benefit from without having to do ANY of the work.

Takeaway: How, exactly, do you measure the success of your cannabis garden? There are several ways to track and calculate your cannabis yields and learn about your profit margins. Growing cannabis is part art, part science. In some ways, gardeners are very artistic; like a conductor in front of an orchestra, they guide their plants from start to harvest, listening for any off notes signaling something isn't right. On the more scientific side, there are ways to pick notes out of the right key for a more harmonious garden.
The more critically important success is, the less room there is for artistic exploration, and more reliance on quantifiable results is called for, especially when tallying cannabis yields.
For a basic idea of success in the garden, one could simply measure how much was spent divided by how much was harvested. Even a calculation as simple as this can be useful when comparing operating costs between grows or to find a minimum required profit margin. To improve the resolution of the overall picture, more exacting data can be added. Simply adding how many of which variety was grown can help.
This allows for an average to be taken by adding up the total harvest for each variety and dividing by the number of each variety. Then the varieties can be compared against each other to determine which produced more. This information can be used the following planting season when selecting how many seeds to plant. If the goal is to have half a kilogram of smoke at harvest, and your garden tends to produce 70g per plant, then that would be about four plants taken to harvest.
If the average is a g yield per plant, then two to three plants should cover it. While production numbers should still be mitigated with other factors such as quality, it can be useful when making judgment calls. A middle-producing variety with okay smoke should generally lose space to a high-producing great smoke. A commercial grower may decide to only grow that variety for their own use or to charge more to make up the difference if the market will bear it, or they may not grow that variety at all anymore in favor of better-producing strains.
Outdoor gardens that only produce a single harvest a year can be calculated by the year, but with light deprivation or indoor growing, seasons are a bit more arbitrary and at the whim of the grower. Indoor growing seasons may be as short as nine to 10 weeks or extend to several months depending on how long the plants are kept in growth, and how long the variety requires to flower.
To account for these differences in growing seasons, a time factor can be included in the calculations.Farmers often ask us how much CBD they can expect per acre of hemp. This is no surprise, of course; growing hemp for CBD has become one of the greatest draws of the hemp farming industry. Indeed, CBD is the sweetheart of the hemp industry. But there is still a lot of guesswork for farmers surrounding the proper way to grow hemp for CBD.
Today, we hope to settle some confusion regarding the matter. Planting a successful CBD hemp crop largely depends on plant spacing. CBD hemp plants need plenty of room to grow for multiple reasons this is in stark contrast to industrial hemp that often grows only a few inches apart.
In the first 60 days of growth, hemp plants nearly double in size. Crowded CBD plants can cause more detrimental problems, as well. For example, hemp is a very labor-intensive crop that requires a lot of hands-on care.
Weeding can be a particular problem with hemp because it has to be taken care of by row cultivation or by hoe, which requires ample room to move. So how much space should you have in between your hemp plants? This answer will vary depending on the strain, but usually, feet between plants is sufficient. And if you are still unsure, you can always contact us regarding our hemp consulting service. After all, we want you to succeed in hemp farming as much as you do!
The hemp flower contains the highest concentrations of CBD and other cannabinoids. Unfertilized female plants produce the highest cannabinoid concentrations. The remainder of the plant the stems, leaves, seeds, etc. There is a good equation you can use to determine how much CBD per acre of hemp you can expect from your next harvest.
For example, if someone cultivated 3 lbs of flower mass from each plant:. Once you have this number, you take the amount of CBD per flower and multiply it by the number of plants per acre.Want to know how to estimate the extraction yield from your hemp crop?
Read on and use our calculator to determine the crude oil yield from your hemp harvest this fall. Okay, so you put your clones in the ground. Fed them, watered them, and whispered sweet nothings to them every night. What are your options for processing and how much will it yield you versus selling your crop to a broker? Second, you can have us process your crop into crude oil, or isolate, or distillate.
Nemadji can process many millions of pounds per year, plus we are also selling future processing capability.

We will get through this together. The theoretical yield is a term used in chemistry to describe the maximum amount of product that you expect a chemical reaction could create. You need to begin with a balanced chemical equation and define the limiting reactant. When you measure the amount of that reactant that you will be using, you can calculate the amount of product.
This is the theoretical yield of the equation.
In a true experiment, you are likely to lose some through the inefficiency of the experiment itself. To calculate theoretical yield, start by finding the limiting reactant in the equation, which is the reactant that gets used up first when the chemical reaction takes place. Then, write down the number of moles in the limiting reactant. Next, divide the number of molecules of your desired product by the number of molecules of your limiting reactant to find the ratio of molecules between them.
How To Calculate CBD Content
Then, multiply the ratio by the limiting reactant's quantity in moles. Finally, convert your answer to grams.

They say, "the grass is always greener on the other side."
Well, it doesn't have to be that way. Not if you choose the right lawn fertilizer for your lawn and learn to apply it correctly.
In caring for your yard, lawn fertilizer is a key ingredient. It helps to provide essential nutrients and prevent excessive weed growth.
However, what most homeowners don't know is that fertilizer can be a double-edged sword. If applied improperly, it can actually do more harm than benefit to your garden.
So what's the secret? In this article, we'll go over the ins and outs of how and when to fertilize your lawn. By the end, your grass will be looking as healthy and vibrant as possible.
Choosing the Right Fertilizer
Ready to take your lawn to the next level? First, you must choose the right type of fertilizer. This might seem pretty overwhelming at first, with so many names to choose from and numbers to make sense of.
When walking into any store, you'll be sure to find big-name brands like Scott's and Miracle-Gro that use synthetic fertilizer. However, we strongly recommend opting for an all-natural, organic product. You can find ones like these in our PRO ORGANIC shop.
Synthetic fertilizers are bad for the planet, plain and simple. They contain a variety of harmful chemicals that contaminate your soil, groundwater, and hurt the micro-organisms living in the Earth. In addition, synthetic fertilizers heavily contribute to pollution. Significant amounts of fossil fuels are used in their production, releasing carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases into our atmosphere.
Synthetic fertilizers are also harmful to your yard. They often work too quickly and, with high concentrations of substances like nitrogen, can overfeed and damage your plants. Additionally, synthetic fertilizers deplete nutrients from the soil and lead to an excessive buildup of toxic chemicals in the ground.
On the other hand, organic lawn fertilizers are not only better for the environment, but also much more effective in encouraging plant growth.
Organic fertilizers work slowly. They allow plants to more gradually absorb the natural nutrients they need and ensure a season-long supply. They also help improve soil texture, enrich microbial life, and are free of dangerous ingredients, making your healthy lawn more eco-friendly and safer for plants, pets, and people!
When to Start Fertilizing
Now that you've chosen the right organic fertilizer for your lawn, it's time to get to work!
The best time to start fertilizing is in the spring — right around mid-to-late April. This is when plants are just beginning to blossom, the grass is just beginning to grow, and the soil temperature reaches about 55 degrees Fahrenheit. We suggest using a soil thermometer to check that your soil is at just the right temperature.
The slow-release organic formula should provide more than enough nutrients to last throughout the spring, into the warmer coming months.
Still, hot summer months can be tough on your yard, thanks to lack of rainfall, heat, insects, and foot traffic. The next time to feed your lawn should be about 6-8 weeks after the first feeding — typically sometime in June or July. Your summer feeding will replenish the fertilizer supply, preserve the health and color of your grass, and rejuvenate some rough patches.
Finally, the last fertilizer application of the year will be in early-to-mid fall. This will help strengthen root systems going into the winter months and better prepare your grass for the next growing season.
How To Apply Fertilizer
Now that you're all prepared, it's time to finally begin feeding your lawn! The process of applying fertilizer is quite simple and can be broken down into several essential steps.
Step 1: Purchase a Spreader
You should avoid dispersing fertilizer by hand since this often leads to inconsistent spread. Before your first lawn feeding, make sure to buy a mechanical spreader and learn how to use it properly.
There are two basic types of spreaders: broadcast spreaders (also known as rotary spreaders) and drop spreaders. When choosing one, be sure to keep in mind your lawn's specific needs.
Broadcast spreaders use a rotating plate to release fertilizers, scattering granules several feet to the sides and in front of the vehicle. This ensures consistent and convenient coverage of large areas.
Drop spreaders allow granules to fall through a narrow opening at the bottom of the device, allowing for a more precise covering of particular areas.
Step 2: Water Before Fertilizing
A few days before fertilizing, be sure to water your yard thoroughly. Sometimes, a nice rain can even do the job for you.
Having moist soil will allow fertilizer to more readily seep into the ground. However, if your grass has turned brown during a period of drought, avoid applying fertilizer.
Before feeding your lawn, remember to check the weather forecast. If you happen to fertilize right before a heavy downpour, much of the product might be washed away. Don't let your hard work go to waste!
Step 3: Feeding Day Preparations
First, prepare the mechanical spreader. Calibrate the rate-of-flow and other settings properly, and make sure the vehicle can be easily maneuvered.
Next, be sure to carefully read the instructions given on the fertilizer package in order to know how much product to use. When in doubt, use less, not more.
Step 4: Spreading Time!
Time for the main event!
When fertilizing, walk at a steady, moderate pace. It is essential that you remember to always push – never pull — your spreader.
Start off by applying fertilizer along the perimeter of your lawn. This way, you won't have to worry about missing any edges.
Then, begin moving inward, going up and down the yard in parallel strips. After reaching the end of each strip, close the spreader's chute and make the necessary turn. Next, reopen the chute and continue walking along the next strip.
You should keep going until the entire lawn is covered.
Step 5: Cleanup and Re-Watering
Congrats on finishing the job! There are just a few more things to do before calling it a day.
First, be sure to clean up any fertilizer that may have spilled or scattered into other areas like your driveway or sidewalk. Before packing up your spreader, rinse out its basin and clean the wheels thoroughly so that it'll be ready to go for next time.
Finally, water the lawn once more. This time, distribute water a bit more lightly than the first time around. The purpose of this second watering is to wash residual granules off the grass blades and into the soil. Again, make sure to check the weather forecast before fertilizing so that a sudden storm doesn't wash away all your efforts.
And that's it! At last, you can sit back, relax and watch your grass grow into a luscious sea of green over the next few weeks.
Oh, and be ready to do it all over again in a couple of months...
All in all, fertilizing your lawn is a simple process that you'll be confident doing in no time. And, by choosing an organic fertilizer like PRO ORGANIC Lawn Food, you'll be helping both the planet and your green grass. Plus, in the end, you'll have a lush lawn that will be the envy of all your neighbors.

This is a sample of the stories that will be available every month on AdoptaFarm.
Different stories will be added as the months go by reflecting the the work being
done on Lochdhu throughpout the year. Click on the photos to see the full size version.
It's early in the morning at Lochdhu, and it's time to feed the sheep. The main part of the flock's diet over the winter is grass silage, but the female sheep (ewes) are pregnant and this wouldn't give them enough nutrients to feed them over their pregnancy on it's own. A concentrate, which is a mixture of things like soya, sugar beet pulp, maize, barley and some minerals to supply all the ewe's requirements, is brought in by a lorry and pneumatically blown into the big silo bin, in the corner of the farmyard. There is a special chute on it specially designed to fill the trailer on the four wheel bike which is called a snacker.
The bulk silo holds 5.5 Tonnes of sheep feeding concentrate. It has been specially formed into "rolls" about the size of a thumb. These are easy for the sheep to find and pick up when the snacker trailer drops them automatically on the ground. The snacker is pulled behind the farm bike and holds about 250Kg.
Jake the collie is the farm sheepdog and likes to go around the sheep every morning with Farmer Bob. He's got a special mat on the back of the bike which he sits on while Farmer Bob zooms about. Jake loves the wind in his face and looks over Farmer Bobs shoulder when they go across the fields.
It's important to get round the sheep early in the morning to make sure that they are all OK. The sheep can hear the bike coming along the hill from Lochdhu, and by the time the bike and the snacker get to the field gate, all the sheep in the field are waiting for their feed, and, like to make a lot of noise.
This particular morning there was a hard frost on the ground which is not unusual for this area, but the sheep are hardy, their thick fleeces keeping them warm.
As the bike drives along the field the snacker automatically drops concentrated feed in little piles of about 1Kg each. That's about the same size and weight as a bag of sugar. The ewes run around behind the snacker to find the concentrate.
You can just see the lumps of concentrate on the ground, (click on the picture to view full size). This is a really good way of feeding sheep at Lochdhu in the winter as the snacker can drop the concentrate on a fresh piece of ground every day. There is also very little waste and the ewes clean everything up in about 5 minutes.
There are about 140 ewes in this group feeding on the concentrate. the amount of concentrate they get each day depends on a number of factors. They only get concentrate feeding in the last 6 -7 weeks of their pregnancy. They are started off at about 100 grammes each per day and this is increased steadily until they are each getting about 1Kg.
In December all the ewes are scanned to determine the number of lambs they are carrying. The vet uses the same sort of Ultrasound device that Doctors use on pregnant women. Ewes carrying triplets, or in rare occasions quads, will be fed more than those carrying twins which is the normal number of lambs. Ewes with triplets maybe fed up to 1.5Kg of concentrate per day.
Ewes carrying twins will be fed a maximum of 1Kg per head per day. This year about 12% of all the ewes scanned are carrying single lambs. These ewes will only be fed Concentrate in the last 3 weeks of their pregnancy. This will be more than enough for their single lamb as any overfeeding could make the lamb too big for a comfortable and safe birth.
It is very important to get the feeding balance correct. Overfeeding will produce fat ewes with lambing problems and underfeeding will produce weak, small lambs with mothers that have no milk since all of the ewes available energy will go into producing a stronger lamb.
All the ewes have free access to silage (grass cut by Farmer Bob and stored over winter). The silage feeders are filled up with fresh silage every couple of days. After 3 days the silage starts to go off and the sheep will refuse to eat it (you thought you were a fussy eater!) and anything left will have to be thrown out.
There is no story for a few of the pictures but we decided to leave them in as the pictures are so good, click on the picture to enlarge it to full size.
All of the ewes that are not in lamb have already been sent to market. They are either unable to breed or too old. It does mean that there is more feed left for all the ones that are in lamb.
All the ewes will stay out in the open fields until one week before they are due to lamb, then they will be brought into the lambing shed to give birth.
Next month members will see the inside of the lambing shed and all that happens in it. Even the yukky bits!

Nutriplant® AG is a foliar nutritional supplement to enhance crop growth. The genetic potential for a crop is rarely reached due to stresses encountered during the growing season. Plants are more vulnerable and use more nutrients at particular stages of development. Nutriplant® AG is designed to be applied at these particular stages to strengthen the plant against everyday environmental stress, resulting in better yields and improved quality.
Contact American Ag Solutions for more information.
Nutriplant® AG contains nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, boron, cobalt, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum and zinc. Nitrogen and boron are essential for bud vigor and fruit set. Nitrogen and zinc are needed for fruit size. Phosphorus hastens maturity and improves fruit quality, while potassium improves fruit color and increases cold hardiness. Sulfur is needed for flavor and protein synthesis. Cobalt increases resistance to stress, and copper contributes to color and flavor development. Iron promotes flowering and fruit set. Manganese aids in sugar metabolism, and molybdenum is involved in transport of phosphorus, a very important element in energy transport and storage. The synergism of all of these elements makes Nutriplant® AG effective.
- For use with a normal NPK Fertilizer program
- Increases photosynthesis by an average of 16%
- Can be applied by itself or can be co-applied with other chemicals
- Activates plant metabolism, allowing the roots to take up more nutrients from the ground
- Increases resistance to stress from heat, freezing, drought, insects, and disease.
- Has been around since 1989
The micronutrients in Nutriplant AG are chelated with a natural organic matter mixture made up of amino acids and carbohydrates. This makes the molecular structure smaller and lighter which allows the plant to absorb it a lot faster and use more of it. In contrast, most other foliar feeds use synthetic chelates which makes them larger and heavier in molecular structure, taking it longer for the plant to absorb.

With winter long gone, spring has taken over and is in full charge. With the changing of the seasons it's a great time to introduce and talk about some of these changes the children might see. Children will notice some of the major differences, such as the weather getting warmer and the trees starting to grow buds. It's great to help children understand and know that the environment changes around them as the season changed too. So I gave the children the opportunity to witness these changes by giving them seeds to investigate. I wanted them to understand how the seed started, as they will observer its change to what it will become as it grows. They looked at the seeds and noticed they were not all the same, so I created a game for the children to identify what plant the seeds belonged to. The package that the seeds came in had the vegetable pictured on the front and the children hypothesize which vegetable belonged to which seed. They would take the packet and place it in front of the seeds they thought it belonged to. Some children made the right choices and others did not, and that's what happens when children or anyone is making educated guesses.
Some children investigated a bit further with the seeds on their own. They used magnify glasses to look at the differences and make observational drawings of the seeds to visually distinguish the differences they saw. Some traced the seed or speckled their paper with dots to resemble the many tiny carrot seeds. They would use their hands to feel what the seeds felt like from each other. Some children decided to use the microscopes to really get a look at what the seeds looked like up close. Once the children were done exploring the seeds our focus turned to what we should do with the seeds. Naturally, it brought us to the children wanting to choose some seeds and plant them. So planting them is exactly what we did. I let the children pick one seed each and we planted them in little cardboard starter cups, watered them and placed them in the window. Most of the children had a wonderful understanding of the three basic needs for a plant's survival. I asked them what plants needed to help them grow,and the children responded that plants need sun, water, and soil to help them grow.
All the children that have come into the STEAM room across the board have shown interest in the tools and building. Most of the children have had lots of experience with using hammers and real nails, so it was no surprise for the children on how to use the tools properly and safely for the next part. A couple weeks after we planted our seeds, we looked and noticed they were just beginning to sprout. We talked about what would happen when they grew bigger and where they would go. Through our discussion it was decided that they needed to be moved to a bigger housing area. I showed them a plant box I had created and asked if they wanted to create a box like this one. We looked and observed the box I had made, seeing how long the pieces were, what was used to attach those pieces together and where the nails were hammered in . We found wood pieces that matched the already created box. The children got a hammer and we started nailing the wood pieces together. The previous times that the children used the tools they were testing how to use them and understanding how they feel and work with various materials. Now they were using the tools to make something instead of experimenting, and that made them very excited. They were putting their skills of measuring, hammering, sawing, and problem solving to great use to get their boxes completed. Every class that participated in this planting project created their own box and eventually decorated them.
When all the classes finished building their boxes, it was time to transfer the plants to their new boxed home. They filled the boxes with soil all the way to the very top. We noticed that their plants were growing and at how big they had gotten. We compared them to how other plants looked and tried to identify what plants were similar to each other and which ones were different at the stages they were at in their development. We looked at the seeds we planted weeks ago to see how they changed from a seed to what they were now, so the children could remember what the plant was and get a perspective on the growth that has been happening. We pulled the cardboard off from around the plant and looked at the soil. We noticed that some of the plants had these "stringy white things" poking out. A lot of children didn't know what it was, but a few knew it was the roots of the plant. After they pondered what the purpose of the roots was, I explained that they help drink the water from the soil when we water the plants. We opened holes in the soil of the children's planter box so we could place in their freshly budding plants. I had to mentioned how important it was that we handle the plants gently when transferring them and make sure we don't bend or squash their plants. It's valuable for children to understand that we need to take care of these plants and keep the plants safe so they can grow big and strong, just as we take care or ourselves.
After all the classes transferred their plants to their boxes, it has been routine for the classes to come in to tend to their plants by watering them every couple days. Some classes were able to take their boxes to their classes because their rooms had the luxury of getting the sun most of the day. Now the children are excitedly waiting for their plants to start producing vegetables for them to eat and enjoy. To take a look back at all the hard work all the classes put into getting to where we are now is amazing. All the information and skills that these children have learned, and having their own personal curiosities answered during this whole process - all of this will stay with them. While walking around the school, some children ask how their plants are doing, and to satisfy their interest ,I bring them in so they can take a look. They come in with delight and happy faces, seeing their plants are doing well and are still growing. It's wonderful for children to have this opportunity to go in depth with plants, because when you watch children make connections with nature its really obvious to see that it makes them happy.

All our products are grown indoors and We combine tried-and-true heartland farming with innovative horticultural techniques to grow a select range of cannabis strains. Our focus is on consistency—a pure cannabis that our customers can trust and count on. With over 4000sqm of growing facilities and computer monitored temperature, lightning, soil content and moisture we have a outstanding quality in our products.
Curing and Drying
After we have harvested the crops we need to dry (Curing) the herbs for best results. We monitor the drying with computers and manual inspections every 6 hours. The rapidly expanding industry of cannabis cultivation has led to inquiries regarding controlled environment chambers for processes in this field. The drying (Curing) process is critical to maintaining proper levels of cannabinoids and preventing mold and mildew.
After the Hemp has dried we move the herbs to our trimming room where all the flowers (buds) are separated by hand from the leafs and stems and our great trimming specialists select only the finest flowers for our end product. Whats left from the trimming is of course reused for growing new plants but also used to extract CBD oils and other extracts.
Here at Viracan we always make sure our products are of the best quality possible. We always test our products regularly for both THC, CBD and terpene profile and amounts. We also regulary test for heavy metals and pesticides but as all our growing is done indoor we have never to date had any problems with pesticides. You can feel safe using Viracan products.
Viracan products are well known all over the world as one of the highest quality CBD and hemp products origin from the European union. Premium quality indoor grown Hemp Buds, just as it should be but within the legal EU limit of 0-3.0% THC.

Coffea arabica is a polyploid species, carrying four copies of the eleven chromosomes typical of the genus Coffea, totaling 44 (2n = 4x = 44). Technically, it is described as an allotetraploid genome, the result of a hybridization between two diploid species, Coffea canephora and Coffea eugenioides, which doubled arabica's chromosome number to 44.
This genome sequence was derived from a Coffea arabica plant of the Red Bourbon variety.
The genome was sequenced with Illumina technology at the Istituto di Genomica Applicata in Udine, Italy. Given the inherent complexity of a tetraploid genome, it was sequenced using a hierarchical approach instead of a more common whole genome shotgun approach.
The coffee (C. arabica) genome, realized by an Italian partnership led by illycaffè and Lavazza, is made available for advancing research on a non-profit basis.

The Guatemala Cardamom harvest is complete, and yields are 15% higher when compared to last year. If you remember, last year also saw a 10-15% increase in yield compared to the prior
year. Prices for seeds are volatile and seeds from the second and third cuts are of lower quality,
reducing essential oil yields and increasing costs.
Due to large exporters having left the seed market, prices are down, and producers may wait
until the start of the next harvest to sell their product.
We anticipate oil will be available at the end of November or December. Cardamom is an
extremely volatile spice so giving us your volumes ahead of time helps us to secure the most favorable offer for your company.

Truly Grains is a young Marin-based company on a mission to make grains great again.
Truly Grains Pasta uses only ancient variety grains, also known as landrace, that have been around for hundreds of years, and haven’t been changed by modern breeding techniques. They work with small farms to grow our products organically, and avoid industrial agriculture.
They mill their grains whole using a traditional stone mill, so nothing is removed. Compare that to modern whole wheat, which is ground on a steel roller mill; all the parts are separated before milling. So even though it’s called “whole” wheat, it often is all the endosperm (starch and gluten) and just a portion of the nutrient-rich bran and germ.
There is a new movement around bringing back whole grain foods (especially wheat) the way they were made before the introduction of modern breeding techniques, chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and industrial roller mills. Truly Grains is at the forefront; learn more on their Facebook page.
You’ll love the taste of their organically grown, ancient grain, stone ground pasta. More nutritious, more delicious.
The way nature intended.

Svalbard Seeds, the new short film about the Seed Cultures Initiative and the second deposit of artworks into the Svalbard Ark.
The documentary has been made for the Seed Cultures Initiative; a project based in Svalbard (Norway) that seeks to create a visual artwork archive to preserve the cultural heritage of the seeds. It aims to celebrate the interrelationships of seeds with other beings and honors the fertile links between biological and cultural diversity in agricultural systems.
The short film is a chronicle of a group of artists arriving on Svalbard Island exposing their works and then burying them in an abandoned coal mine next to the Global Seed Vault.

A brief history of The Hemp Store
Jonathan and Lisa grew a crop of Industrial Hemp on the family farm in Suffolk back in the 1990’s.
It opened our eyes as to the fantastic potential of the hemp plant – surely one of nature’s great gifts. We watched as the tiny seed germinated within days, and then, just 100 days later, was a beautiful tall plant (over 2 meters) swaying in the Fenland winds – all on very poor and thin Breckland soil that struggled to support the more usual East Anglian crops of barley, wheat, potatoes and sugar beet without large inputs of fertilisers, pesticides and irrigating water – expensive on the pocket and of course expensive to the environment.
We also discovered the huge variety of uses for the hemp plant – fabric to make clothes and bags, seeds to make nutritious oil, well being food, bath, body and soaps to nourish and moisturise the skin, paper, bio fuel, building material and on and on!
Unbeknown to us at the time this crop would to shape the next phase of their lives.
The journey began when we left the farm in 1999 and set up The Hemp Store. We started on Cambridge Market (where will still trade on Sundays) with a determination to not only offer products made from eco friendly sources but that were also quality products – well made, sustainable, fairly traded and sourced and different. Today our mission remains the same.
Over the last 20 years we have met an array of wonderful characters – many who became firm friends – Udaya and Rosie Thapa from Nepal, Vidhi and Aichin Brorson from Denmark – the founders of Hemp Valley, John and Rachel of Thought Clothing, Gavin and Ash at THTC, and Amit and his family makers of the wonderful hemp Sativa Bags.
More recently it has worked the other way around.
We have been friends with Tom for over 15 years. Tom is the finest of professional soap-makers.
With our passion for all things hemp and Tom’s brilliant and innovative skills in formulating and making all manner of soaps, balms and creams, the seeds were sown for our own locally made hemp bath, body and soaps range.
In 2018 we achieved official organic recognition for all the organic ingredients used in our range by the Organic Food Federation (non-food). This means that our customers can be assured that all our organic ingredients are fully certified (not a requirement for cosmetic manufacturers (yet) but something we thought was important). We also achieved registration with The Vegan Society following their own thorough audit of all our ingredients – this means that vegans can buy with full confidence knowing that all our products that carry The Vegan Society logo are 100% vegan friendly.
We remain a small family business still following our initial vision to offer sustainable, eco friendly and quality goods to be savoured and enjoyed by all those with a passion and a care for our planet.
We supply our own range of hemp products to independent retail outlets (eco shops, zero waste stores, local stores, environmental web shops etc.).
If you are interested in stocking our super hemp stuff then please email us with your details, location etc. and we can forward you our current trade price list.

Holista is recognized as India’s leading manufacturers and exporters of quality food. We manufacture a wide range of premium coconut kernel products - virgin coconut oil, coconut milk, coconut milk powder, coconut cream and desiccated coconut and RBD coconut oil. This, and our food ingredients and preparatory products are marketed under the brand names Arogya and Coco Magic.
The rich Indian tradition emphasizes the importance of coconut in all its rituals. It is because the yields of the tree - the fruit with its refreshing water, its tasty kernel and oil – all carry a lot of health benefits. The tree is looked upon as that which returns the care bestowed on it, through its sweet coconut water and the varied uses of its products. India records a whopping 3000+ years of coconut cultivation!
Our raw material procurement is inland, as India enjoys the 3rd position in coconut production. India, with its cultivation of coconut trees, is definitely a better choice for the coconut market. Playing on home ground thus puts us in an advantageous position, in relation to procurement and transport of raw materials and cost of production.
Time is of utmost importance in the natural food products business. Since we ship our products from the Tuticorin Port to the western countries, the voyage period is less and the goods reach the destination within the stipulated time. The distance the goods travel is directly proportionate to the ocean freight charges. This enables us to maintain an almost stable cost of production
Buying from India gives you a concession in Import Duty as Indian goods fall into the GSP (Generalized System of Preferences) which is an added advantage for who importers of our products. We value your trust hence we are committed to quality and on-time delivery.

The Cape Rough Skinned Lemon is the oldest variety of lemon in South Africa. It was named for its bumpy, uneven thick skinned yellow fruit, and is sweeter than other lemon varieties. The fruit is oval, and 7 to 12cm in length. The tree has an upright habit with a roundish crown, growing to an average 3 to 6m in height, and has sharp thorns on the branches. It has dense foliage, and the leaves are oval shaped, and a dark, slightly glossy green.
The tree have thorny branches, produces fruit all year round and needs water at least every 3 weeks from August to March. Acid Compost may be added to lemons to make them a bit sweeter.

Theme: Public Education
Location(s): Burnaby/New Westminster
Secondary: Your outdoor classroom will be our school garden. Create and develop lessons, deliver workshops to students, grades 8-12. Work with teachers in a cross curricular manner. Teach about sustainability, composting, dietary minerals, plant identification, garden maintenance, cooking, First Nations land principle, native plants, pollinators, invasive species.
Elementary and Middle School: Work with teachers to co-ordinate, schedule and connect with our elementary feeder schools. Create engaging garden workshops for grade 8 students and also classes from elementary schools who would walk to our garden as a fieldtrip to learn about urban gardening, food security, seed diversity, planting, composting, soil science, maintenance, nature walks and other workshops.
This cross-curricular garden involves teachers from several disciplines. Our goals are to teach students about food security, local food, gardening, soil science, ecology, and sustainability. If there is a Tech Ed teacher, who would like to build boxes or a pergola, even better! We realize that there is a shortage of outdoor learning space.
Many students do not have hands on exposure to gardening in our urban setting. We would also introduce students to agricultural sciences and careers opportunities in "sustainability/green careers".
Below are gardens where we have worked with other teacher candidates in the past in the inception years of other programs and gardens:

Home base of the N.V. Verenige Cultuur Maatschappijen (N.V. VCM).
The name "Rust en Werk" is the name of a plantation and also the name of the village that lies on the right bank of the Commewijne river. She is best known for her annual UL Fitre (Bodo) event and the beautiful landscape.
The VCM plantations that now consist of Plantation “Rust and Werk” together with the neighboring plantations “Lust tot Rust” and “Einde Rust”, were established around 1750 by Governor Wigbold Crommelin, who at the time was the Governor General in the colony of Suriname. sugar cane grown with a few other crops. The largest sugar factory in South America was at “Rust en Werk”. Over the centuries from the time of Crommelin the plantation was sold and handed over to various owners and in 1947 a change came with the establishment of the NV United Culture Society NV and expansion of business with more plantations than just “Rust and Werk” . N.V. VCM was purchased in 1979 by the current owner mr. Armand van Alen and has since been a thriving cattle farm. The company was expanded in recent years and now covers 11 surrounding plantations with a 12th plantation “Nut en Schadelijk”, better known as Herendijk, which is further upstream. Since 1987, a fish and shrimp company called Comfish has been established on the Einde Rust plantation.
VCM Plantages involves more than just crops and livestock; there is a rich history hidden here with many still-present remains. Visitors to the plantation are invited to take a walk through history and to imagine the plantations and their residents.
Compare the past with the present and experience the unique entourage. View our flora and fauna in this 5000 HA area and simply enjoy life in the beautiful green landscape.
The VCM plantations have so much to offer, from learning about the strategies in our method of animal husbandry and agriculture to experiencing nature. Come and experience a rich cultural experience that has been developed here on the VCM plantations over time.

Summer is here and it’s mango season in South Florida! Sprouts Farmers Market shared some healthy hints with our team on how to pick, cut, and store mangoes. Enjoy!
How to pick a ripe mango:
- Pick the very best mango by ensuring it has a sweet, aromatic scent and a slight give when squeezed.
- Depending on the variety, a mango’s color doesn’t always determine ripeness! The best way to know when it’s ready to enjoy is by the firmness and sweet aroma.
How to cut a mango:
- Mangoes have an oblong seed running through the center that’s about 1/4-inch in width. Make your first slices alongside the center seed, creating two halves.
- Gently make vertical slices in each half, being careful not to pierce the skin on the other side.
- Once both halves have vertical slices, cut the flesh in a grid-like pattern, making small squares without slicing through the skin on the other side.
- At this point, you can use a spoon to gently scoop between the flesh and the skin to pop out the cubes or you can use your hands to push the skin from underneath the flesh, creating a hedgehog-like effect. If your mango is ripe enough, you may be able to salvage a bit from the seed. Use a small paring knife alongside the seed and the skin to remove a little more goodness!
How to store a mango:
- Once you have sliced or diced your mangos, you can use them right away or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about five days.
- They also freeze extremely well and make a delicious addition to smoothies or can be used as ice cubes in your favorite mocktail!

Adapted in English by Valérie Harnois
What is better than eating pasta with basil pesto, a bacon sandwich with tomatoes and lettuce, or even a homemade vegetable soup? Eating it when you have grown the food yourself.
As early as March, you can start growing vegetables and fruits indoors. Sowing your plants inside allows for an earlier start, which will give your plants enough time to produce their crop before the cold October days.
Gardeners across the world have created calendars to inform people when to start indoors and outdoors sowing, when to move the plants outside, and when to harvest. For example, according to experienced gardeners, tomatoes should be sown indoors between the end of March and mid-April. This is 6 weeks before transplanting them outside. For carrots, they should be sown directly outside around mid-May. Many online calendars exist. When choosing one, it is important to choose one that represents the region where the garden will be grown. The Green Pages offers an interesting calendar to that effect.
Of course, it is also possible to buy plants that are ready to put in the garden.
When deciding to make a garden, you must consider the following elements: your needs, the space you have, and the time and energy that you wish to dedicate to the project. When gardening as a hobby, most often, you will choose plants according to your preferences. People tend grow food they like to eat and flowers they find pretty. Then, you must verify that the plants you chose can actually grow in your environment and region. Many websites, books and gardening centres can provide this type of information. For instance, you will learn that it is difficult to grow corn in a pot on the balcony. Also, considering that one corn plant usually yields only two ears of corn, it is a lot of energy for little results. A cherry tomato plant might be more interesting to grow on the balcony since it yields a lot of tomatoes. It is also important to plan for help if you intend on leaving your house for a long period of time. If you leave on vacation, you should ask someone to take care of the garden while you are away.
If there is a lot of room for the garden, many different types of plants can be sown. In this case, you should organize your garden. Plants have different heights, lengths, and needs. Planning ahead will ensure that your plants have everything they need and do not impair other plants growth. For example, plants have different heights, planning will ensure that some plants do not cause unwanted shade to others.
You should also pay attention to the preparation of the soil so it is ready to receive the plants.
It is therefore important to get all the information needed before starting. The success of a garden depends on many elements and the attention given to each. (The table below will be useful if you choose to start a garden). Despite all the efforts, nature is sometimes capricious. Taking notes of your experience and results will allow you to improve your garden with the years. Nonetheless, the pride you will feel when eating food you have grown yourself will definitely be reason enough to start again next spring.
|To do list:
|1. Choose the plants you want to grow.
|2. Consider the space, time, and energy you wish to dedicate to this hobby.
|3. Get the information on the chosen plants.
|4. Get the materials: seeds, tools, and soil.
|5. Sow at the right moment.
|6. Observe, water, weed, note the changes.
|7. Harvest and savour.
Preparing a meal with our own harvest remains the ultimate gardening goal. To do so, search the Web to find recipes that include the food you would like to grow. You can create a little recipe book with Book Creator or organize a bookmark section in your Web browser that will compile your favourite recipes.

Agriculture Export Volumes
November 2016 | Released on 4 April 2017
|Nov 16||Oct 16||Sep 16||Aug 16|
|Total volumes (tonnes)
Agricultural export plunges as Tongan squash season ends
November’s agricultural exports volume has declined immensely by 81%. This significant decline is explained by the squash season coming to an end therefore the amount of squash exported overseas fell by 97.8% from 2693.2 tonnes in October to only 59.8 tonnes in November. The Tongan squash season is towards the end of the year hence October 2016 recorded the highest volume of Tongan squash exported, which accounted for 80% of the total agricultural exports of the previous month with no Tongan squash exported during the month of November.
On the outlook, NRBT anticipates that both volume for export and domestic production will increase in 2016/17 supporting the expected growth in the agricultural sector. The higher squash exports during the squash season supports this projection. The latest revised climate update released by the Meteorology Division forecasted a period of more rainfall than usual for the upcoming three to six months, which is an advantage for growers to start planting various crops. The year 2016/17 has seen better weather conditions than that of the previous year which will likely have favourable effects on the agricultural sector’s growth. In addition, Tonga is currently negotiating the Pacific Agreement on Closer Economic Relations (PACER) Plus which may contribute to the increase. On the downside, the export of Kava Tonga and coconuts will continue to decline due to low supply as a result of unfavourable weather conditions in the past years.

Goethe's theory of the living world postulates anong other things that inheritance is not a cause but a consequence of life processes. Experiments in molecular genetics strikingly support this postulate. With this project, we would like to investigate this kind of inheritance more closely. As a first step groundsel (Senecio vulgaris) will be cultivated under stress conditions that bring about clear differences in the phenotype: light and shadow, wet and dry, salt stress. From seeds of the various 'environment types' plants will be cultivated through three generations under the conditions described, and in the fourth generation under neutral, i.e. identical environmental conditions and compared with reference to developmental dynamics, plant form and leaf metamorphosis. We expect that characteristics that the plants have inherited in the course of the first three generations will be passed on, i.e. form features of their antecedents will be retained. If the results are positive the experiment will be extended by using Arabidopsis thalinia (thale cress) – the "work horse" of plant molecular genetics. Here too, we shall record developmental dynamics and morphological changes and test it in neutral recultivation. If the experiments are successful, as well as the phenotypic changes we intend to study the epigenetic changes in collaboration with a laboratory equipped to do so. We started the experiment in 2009 and in the autumn of 2009 after three generations will be able to carry out the first test comparison.
A preliminary experiment in which the plants were fertilised with ash from different tree species it was shown that Senecio is particularly appropriate for answering such research questions. Its plasticity in development, overall shape and leaf form is very marked. Likewise, the plants react strongly to the stress conditions imposed on it.

Experiments in the 2000 and 2001 showed clear morphological differences not only between the non-manipulated and the transformed plants of the same variety but also between plants with different inserted gene constructs. The results showed that the plant as a whole is changed by the genetic intervention. For conventional researchers this is a complete surprise, especially as the morphological changes are observable independently of the expression of the foreign gene. But from the point of view of a holistic understanding of the organism this was precisely what was to be expected. In living organisms, there are no isolated features! With this as backgound, in 2002 we carried out a greenhouse experiment with tomato plants. These had a 'built-in' marker gene whose product according to the current state of knowledge does not take part in the plant's metabolism (it serves merely to visualise the regulation of the plants own gene sequences in the tissues).
Michael Haring (Amsterdam University) supplied us for cultivation seeds of two genetically modified tomato varieties. In the laboratory in Amsterdam we could investigate our experimental plants for the presence and level of expression of the marker gene. This allowed us to relate the results of the morphodynamic experiments with the molecular and biochemical findings. We compared the following: wild type (non-modified starting variety); plants that were genetically modified but had lost the marker gene; plants with a non-expressed marker gene, and lines with different levels of expression of the marker gene, as well as three commercially available varieties.
The morphological differences between the genetically modified lines were far less noticeable than in the potato experiments, and smaller than the differences between the varieties. Nevertheless, a preliminary compilation of the data of many parameters showed that the wild type was different from all the manipulated lines, even from those that had lost the inserted gene. A statistical analysis of the extensive data set remains to be done.
As regards the nutritional quality the question arises as to whether the manipulation limits the capacities of plants to develop in a way appropriate to the species in differing environments. Experiments on plasticity, which involve cultivating manipulated plants under different conditions, were carried out in 2004.
Further information can be found here: Unintended phenotypic effects of single gene insertions in potatoes – assessing developmental dynamics and leaf morphology
Haijo Knijpenga and Beatrix Waldburger
With the method of sensitive crystallisation, the differences between variants mentioned above were more prominent in the tomato experiments than in the previous experiments with potatoes. In 2002 we studied tomato plants within the framework of broad-ranging experimental design. In 2003 we cultivated the seed from these plants, in particular three non-transgenic varieties, under different growth and environmental conditions and studied them further. A wide pallette of crystallisation pictures from each sort or variant made visible the living connection between plant and environment. In accordance with the morphological data it as possible to show that a manipulated plant after loss of the foreign gene no longer simply resembles the original wild type. A preliminary illustrated report has been published.
In recent years we have often dealt with with the theme of genetic engineering. In many articles and lectures we have presented the up-to-date developments in agriculture and medicine and offered viewpoints for a responsible engagement with the subject. Here we select two events from the great variety of our activities.
From 18 to 21 September 2002 in Edinburgh, Ifgene held another of its workshops. Under the title of ' Intrinsic Value and Integrity of Animals und Plants' almost 80 participants from round the world met for an intensive and to some extent controversial discussion professionally organised by David and Pat Heaf. It was wonderful to see a Demeter farmer and the Director of the Roslin Institute, the birthplac of Dolly the cloned sheep, in conversation, especially as their views wre light years apart. The assessments regarding which direction is more significant for the future were polar opposite. Timothy Brink emphasised that biodynamic farming in his understanding of wholes is still in its infancy, but therefore still has its future before it. On the other hand, Harry Griffin was of the view that mopdern knowledge is sufficient for quickly and efficiently solving technologically the problems in agriculture and medicine. What he extolled as the future of pharmaceutical research and – in view of complying with the strict standards of animal welfare legislation – had described as humane animal research is today just rubbish. The project was stopped in the early summer of 2003 because of the high risks for financial investors.
Highlights of the workshops were the contributions of the environmental lawyer Mike Radford and the environmental economist Clive Spash. The showed that biotechnologies must be evaluated in a social context. The state must bear responsibility for ensuring sustainable methods of production for the future – even against a majority of consumers and producers, who frequently decide things on purely economic grounds. Furthermore, they vividly showed that technologies are frequently pursued not for their success but for their lack of success because, in projects that have spent a lot of money, the principle of 'lock-in' forces yet more money to be invested. Investment is therefore not an unequivocal indicator of economically successful undertakings, but rather it puts the brake on the possible development of sustainable technologies!
In a concluding remark, Donald Bruce, Director of the Church in Scotland's 'Society, Religion and Technology Project' said that the workshop had shown that the modern sciences cannot really be considered as ethical without being supplemented by holistic approaches to research.
In recent years, the way has been cleared for the cultivation, processing and selling of genetically modified plants in the EU, thus creating a threat to the very existence of organic and biodynamic agriculture. The result is that in future each farmer will himself be made responsible for the security of his management. In practice this means that it is not the farmer who wants to cultivate genetically modified plants who has to ensure that his crops do not cross into the fields of his neighbours, but quite the reverse: the farmer who wants to produce without genetic engineering must take precautions to prevent contamination – a spectacular distortion of the principle of liability. Furthermore, at the political level there are discussions as to whether zones free of genetically modified crops should even be permitted. Such zones have already been created in order to protect regions from genetic contamination. The removal of these zones or the prohibition of sutting up more would for many farmers have far-reaching negative implications. Finally it is still an open question as to who is to bear the cost of testing and controlling production that is free of genetically modified organisms. It is unimaginable that the individual producer could pay the high laboratory testing costs.
Against this background, Nikolai Fuchs, Ruth Richter and Johannes Wirz have written a memorandum in which they argue for understanding agriculture in consciousness evolution terms as a 'cultural revolution', similar to the coming into being of the great world religions. Thus, agricultural visions would have to consider not only economic viewpoints but also those that are cultural and spiritual. The memorandum received a good welcome and is already supported by many people. It can be obtained from the Agriculture Department and signed by anyone who wishes to do so.

In a statement today, BERNAS said rice sales for April saw a 40 per cent jump over the average for the state.
"There was also a 27 per cent increase in the number of rice wholesalers with no record of purchase buying from BERNAS, while around 61 per cent of wholesalers in Sabah had bought more than the normal amount of rice.
'Of this percentage, 37 wholesalers bought more than 100 per cent of the normal amount," it said.
The statement was issued in response to a local news report on Wednesday entitled "BERNAS Urged Not To Ration Rice Supply in Sabah".
The report quoted Malaysian Youth Council vice president Azuwan Marjan as saying he had been informed by wholesalers in Sabah that BERNAS had started rationing its rice supply to them since April 13.
BERNAS clarified that unusually high purchases had prompted the agency to take precautionary steps by restricting sales to certain wholesalers in order to prevent hoarding.
It was aimed at preventing the rice supplied to Sabah being sold to other countries like Indonesia and the Philippines in view of the rice price in Malaysia being the lowest in the Southeast Asia region.
The statement added that joint monitoring with the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry will continue to ensure the supply of rice is controlled, especially for Sabah.

German Fruit Trade Association (DFHV)
Background: The fruit trade industry has been exposed to changing conditions for years and it is expected that these dynamics will increase in the future. Different developments and trends like climate change, digitalization, individualization of consumer needs, but also rules and guidelines hold the potential to significantly change the industry structure. Hence, there is a growing need to analyze potential external changes, in which different actors of the industry will have to operate in the future.
Objectives and Results: Within three workshops, different stakeholders have developed six different scenarios for the year 2030 for the fruit trade industry. These scenarios were sketched out in a “map of the future” and create possibilities for coping with potential conditions for specific actors of the industry.

A visit to a Cocoa Farm: While in Ecuador, we visited a cocoa farm, where they grow and process chocolate cocoa from the fruit of the cacao tree ((Theobroma cacao). The tree is grown throughout the wet lowland ecosystems near the Mangroves of Ecuador. These trees prefer to be in the shade of taller trees. Its thick trunk supports a canopy of large, leathery, oblong leaves.
The small, foul-smelling,
pinkish flowers are borne directly on the branches and trunk; they are followed by the fruit,
or pods, each yielding 20-40 seeds, or cocoa beans. Once the fruit is harvested, it is dried and
ground into a cocoa powder. At the farm we were treated to a delicious hot cocoa made simply
from the ground beans, some water, and a little bit of cinnamon. It was a delicious treat, thanks
to the tropical rain forest we can enjoy it anytime.

There’s a lot of hazel around here. That’s Kent for you. If it’s not apples, it’s cobnuts, or at least it used to be. Food fashion and falling prices have taken their toll, and you can’t help but worry that these crops will go the same way as the hops that used to cover the county. It’s not uncommon to see fields full of grubbed out trees, lying forlornly on their sides with their roots in the air. It’s a heart-rending sight, a shocking and violent end for orchard or platt, home to bats and badgers, owls and woodpeckers. The hope is that farmers markets and a growing consumer preference for locally grown food will save the day, and certainly as far as cobnuts are concerned, there seems to be a mood of cautious optimism, no doubt encouraged by the increased revenue from the bumper crops
over the past two or three years.
|Grubbed out orchard in a nearby field, earlier today|
Several of the gardens I have worked in recently have been on the site of cobnut platts, a few of the characteristically nobbly trees remaining, pruned into the traditional open goblet shape. But, even in areas without this agricultural heritage, you don’t have to look far before you spy a hazel tree or two, on the margins, the understory of a woodland garden, or within a hedgerow. Both the wild hazel and the cultivated cobnut tree are dripping with catkins at this time of year, the conspicuous male flowers an inch or two long, apparently out of all proportion with the tiny female flowers, red styles just about visible if you look closely (close enough to poke your eye with a twig, so care is advised). The discrepancy in size is perhaps explained by the fact that the hazel relies on the wind for pollination, a far less efficient method than those more sensible plants who co-opt insects or even birds to undertake the task, and one which requires great clouds of pollen to be released to the air in the hope that at least some fraction of it will waft across to the female flowers of the next tree. As a method of procreation it’s a particularly messy business, and surely explains why the hazel chooses to go about the task unencumbered by clothing, which would only get in the way; all this happens weeks before the trees have even given thought to putting on leaves.
|Wanding a cobnut platt|
My own great fondness for the hazel (Corylus avellana
) is less to do with the nuts than the wood. I love the long lenticels, and the metallic sheen of the young bark, so characteristic of walking sticks made from this tree.This is a tremendously versatile plant for the gardener to have access to – the traditional practice of coppicing hazel in the woodland understory provided long, straight poles for construction of light structures, barriers and for plashing hedges, tripods and bean frames in the garden and on the allotment, while the younger wands – fabulously pliable when green, are used for pea sticks and plant supports. Wanding tends to be done when the leaves are off in winter – it’s a much simpler task to accomplish when the leaves have fallen. Of course, pruning at this time of year encourages exactly this kind of long, straight growth, but as there’s always a use for the cut wands in the garden, that’s exactly what we want. Left unpruned a hazel tree will grow to a height of 12 metres given sufficient light, reaching average age of 80 years, although coppicing greatly increases life expectancy, with some hazel stools remaining productive for several hundreds of years. It both astonishes and saddens me to think that, except in a very few cases, we have ceased to manage the woodland we have left in the UK – a source of the most fantastic, renewable material for building and for fuel – instead choosing to import from overseas products such as bamboo canes for the garden and charcoal for the barbeque, while our coppices are grubbed out and built over or abandoned to become neglected and overstood. Bonkers.
All this being said, you’d think I’d have more hazel growing in my own garden, but we weren’t fortunate enough to inherit any with the garden, and have only very young plants in the hedge we planted when we moved in. Instead, I tend to filch my hazel poles, pea sticks and cobnuts from friends and clients. After all, living in Kent, I’d be crazy to pay for these things, wouldn’t I? People do, though.

Activity -- Making Beesticks, Pollinating and Observing Pollen
As their plants come into flower, students need to be prepared to pollinate. The act of pollination is the prelude to the beginning of a new generation that starts with double fertilization. In preparation for pollination of their plants, students will need to understand the developmental biology leading to the production of male and female gametes (sperm and egg) and the concepts associated with the coevolutionary relationships between flowers and their pollinators.
It is unknown whether natural pollen vectors on Earth, such as bees, flies hummingbirds and bats, are capable of flight or transit between and among flowers in conditions of microgravity. For this reason, in the B-STIC experiment, the CUE mission's Payload Specialist will be simulating the flight of a bee using an artificial pollination device to transfer pollen among the AstroPlants flowers.
How is effective pollination carried out?
The transfer of adequate numbers of viable, compatible pollen from the anthers ofone plant to the stigmas of another plant will result in effective pollination.
- With a beestick as the vector, pollen is collected from the anthers of various plants and transferred to the stigmas of other plants.
- Students will record data on their Floral Clock Student Data Sheet (page 51).
- It is important for each class to have at least two extra sets of four film can wick pots (16 plants) in PGCs to serve as unpollinated control plants. The extra PGCs should have been planted along with and maintained in the same manner as the experimental PGCs.
A period of 16 days from the sowing of seed is required for the growth of the AstroPlants and the completion of the activity. Making beesticks will require about 15 minutes and should be done one to two days prior to pollination. Observation of the bee and a lesson on the relationship of bees and the AstroPlants flower in pollination could take one 50 minute class period. The pollination will require one 50 minute class period.
In participating in this activity students will:
- understand flowering as the sexually mature stage of plant development;
- understand where and how ovules and pollen originate (male and female gamete formation);
- explore the parts of the flower and the role that each part plays in reproduction;
- observe the reproductive tissues of plants, including pollen and stigma, under magnification;
- understand the interdependent coevolutionary relationship of bees and brassicas; and
- begin the process of reproduction in their AstroPlants by performing a pollination using a beestick, setting the stage for future developmental events.
- flowering AstroPlants (Day 14 to 16)
- two dissection strips (page 23)
- 2 cm wide clear adhesive tape
- glue (e.g., DucoR Cement)
Procedure: Making Beesticks
1. One to two days prior to pollination, students should make beesticks. While making beesticks the teacher may wish to have students observe the anatomy of a bee, focusing on the legs and proboscis, to reinforce an understanding of the design (role and function) of the bee in relation to the flower.
2. Carefully remove the legs, head and abdomen of the dried bee, leaving the fuzzy thorax. Pollination can be performed
with "whole bee" beesticks as well.
3. Place a drop of fast-drying glue on the tip of a toothpick. Carefully push the toothpick into the top of the thorax of the
bee. Remove the wings. Let the beesticks dry overnight.
Procedure: Setting the Floral Clock
1. At a time between Day 14 and Day 16 when five or more flowers are open on each plant in the PGC, cross-pollinate all open flowers on each plant with a beestick by gently rolling the bee thorax back and forth over the anthers of flowers of several plants until yellow pollen can be observed on the hairs.
Moving to other plants and repeating the rolling motion over the anthers and the stigma of each pistil, students should make
sure to deposit pollen collected on the beestick on to the stigma of each flower. Students from one group may wish to "fly" their bees to flowers of other groups. Buzz!
2. Take the top open flower of the first plant and carefully remove it with a forceps. Place it on the sticky tape of a dissection strip.
3. While observing with a hand lens or microscope, carefully remove the flower parts, noting their relative positions on the receptacle, making sure not to damage the pistil. Refer to the illustration on page 43 for help in identifying the floral parts. You and your students may want to test the nectaries for the presence of glucose (write to Wisconsin Fast Plants for the activity "The Hunt for Glucose - A Flower's Treasure").
4. Slip the ruler on a second dissection strip (without tape on it) under the first strip. Each student should measure the length of the pistil from the receptacle to the top of the stigma and record the pistil length on his/her Floral Clock Student Data Sheet (page 51).
5. Remove the top open flower of the second plant, measure the length of the pistil and record the data on the Floral Clock Student Data Sheet in the column under the number of the second plant.
- With higher powered microscopes students could observe magnified views of pollen trapped on the stigmas of dissected flowers or on a beestick.
- While pollinating, students might also observe the pollen trapped on the tape of a dissection strip.
- Alternatively, look at the pollen on the stigmas or on the beestick with a hand lens.
- A beestick with pollen can be rolled over the sticky tape on the dissection strip. Observation under a magnifier will reveal pollen attached to the bee setae.
6. Note that flowers on the plants are produced and open in a sequence spiraling up the flower stem. Starting with the next flower down from the one that you removed, number the remaining flowers as 4, 3, 2 and 1 as shown in the illustration on page 49, with number 1 being the oldest flower.
- With a sharp pair of fine scissors, carefully snip off all additional remaining flowers below flower number 1 (including side shoots), leaving only the four open flowers that have been numbered.
- Snip off the developing apical flower shoot and buds above the four remaining open flowers. This is known as terminalizing the plant.
7. Returning to the four remaining flowers, note the position of the stigmas relative to the tall anthers. Is the stigma below (-1), equal to (0) or above (+1) the tall anthers? Record this information for each flower of both plants on the Floral Clock Student Data Sheet.
- Is there a relationship between flower age and the position of the stigma relative to the level of the four tall anthers?
8. Be sure to measure the length of the uppermost open flower of each plant in the set that was grown for the unpollinated controls. Data for the unpollinated control sets should be recorded on a separate Floral Clock Student Data Sheet.
9. Before leaving the plants be sure that each of the remaining stigmas has been adequately pollinated by the beestick. Can you see any pollen on the stigmas? Check with a hand lens.
Concluding Activities and Questions
"People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy ... to have such things." - Iris Murdoch
The completion of pollination sets the floral clock at "0 dap" (days after pollination). Activities 5 and 6 in the section "Double Fertilization and Post-Fertilization Events" involve observing, recording and analyzing pistil development as an indication of successful pollination. In participating in these activities students will complete their Floral Clock Student Data Sheets. After completing Activity 4, have students consider the following:
- What is the relative importance of each flower part in relation to pollination and sexual reproduction? Are some parts more important than others? Why?
- Does the pistil continue to elongate after the flower is functionally open? Even if the flower is not pollinated?
- How many flowers on average open each day once the first flower has opened?
- What is the average amount of time (in hours) between the development of one flower and its nearest neighbor?
For activities on observing and experimenting with pollen germination in vitro under the microscope and on observing compatible and incompatible pollen-stigma interactions and pollen tube growth in the style and ovaries, write to Wisconsin Fast Plants for the activities "Pollen Germination" and "Pollen-Stigma Interactions and Pollen Tube Growth."
With a separate third set of plants, try self-pollinating and compare the amount of seed produced with the seed produced by the cross-pollinated plants.
Double Fertilization and Post - Fertilization Events
Fertilization is the event in sexual reproduction which follows pollination. In higher plants, two sperm are involved in fertilization, reaching the ovule via a pollen tube from the germinating pollen grains. One sperm fertilizes the egg cell within the embryo sac to produce the zygote and begin the new generation. The other combines with the fusion nucleus to produce the endosperm, a special tissue that nourishes the developing embryo. Fertilization also stimulates the growth of the maternal tissue (seed pod or fruit) supporting the developing seed. In AstroPlants the fertilized egg cell develops through various stages over the next 20 days until it becomes a mature quiescent embryo, the seed.
- What is the effect of microgravity on fertilization and embryo development?
- Will the maternal parent be affected by microgravity? Will fruits develop?
What happens between fertilization and seed harvest? After pollination, each compatible pollen grain adhering to the stigma sends through the style a pollen tube which carries two male gametes (sperm) to the ovule, where the egg and other cell nuclei are housed in the embryo sac. One sperm unites with the egg cell (n) to produce a zygote (2n) which
becomes the embryo. The second sperm (n) unites with the diploid fusion nucleus (2n) to form the triploid endosperm (3n), the energy source for the developing embryo. This process is known as double fertilization.
Within two to three days after fertilization, the pistil begins to elongate and swell to accommodate the enlarging ovules. The sepals and petals wither and drop off, having completed their functions.
Within the ovules, the embryos differentiate and enlarge through a series of developmental stages, known collectively as embryogenesis. Enlarging also within the ovule is the endosperm. In the latter stages of embryo development in brassicas, the nutrient reserves in the endosperm are used by the embryo and the space that was filled by the endosperm is occupied by the enlarging embryo.
In cereal crops, such as wheat, rice and corn, endosperm is not used by the enlarging embryo and remains a major portion of the seed as a starchy energy source for the germinating seedling.
Through the development of the seed, the plant has solved the problem of packaging its new generation to survive until favorable conditions for growth return. As the seed matures, the walls of each ovule develop into a protective seed coat and the entire ovary becomes a fruit (seed pod). In AstroPlants, embryos mature into seeds in 20 days after successful pollination.

Wheat is the largest produced grain on the planet Earth
and is also a staple food for people in almost all parts
of the world. India has become the second largest producer
of wheat, next to china with a dramatic rise in yields after
green revolution. However, the wheat situation in India
is deficient and was seen importing wheat to an extent of
about 5.5 million tonnes in the current year.
This has apparently pushed wheat prices to a significantly
higher level than the previous year and the government has
raised the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for wheat by Rs 100
to Rs 750 per quintal. Encouraged by the high prices, the
acreage and subsequently output of wheat, is expected to
Wheat is grown as an exclusive winter crop in India mostly
grown in northern parts as it requires cool temperatures
for flowering and grain formation. Major producing states
are Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan
and Bihar accounting for about 85 per cent of total cultivated
Table 1: Sowing progress as on 24th Nov

Source: Ministry of Agriculture, GoI.
Uttar Pradesh, the largest wheat cultivating
state, sowings have been taken up on time and progressed
well so far. The acreage is expected to reach the set target
of 93 lakh hectares in view of the favourable weather conditions.
In Punjab and Haryana
sowing in majority of the areas has been completed. The
productivity of wheat in these states is the highest of
all in the country at about 4 tonnes per hectare and much
higher than the average all India productivity of 2.6 tonne
/ hectare. However, the acreage in these states is likely
to remain at the last year's level as there is limited scope
for its expansion.
Wheat acreage in Madhya Pradesh has already posted a significant
growth and in other states like Gujarat, Rajasthan and Maharashtra
too has progressed well.
Acreage in the other states is expected to rise significantly
as wheat cultivation has got momentum from growing demand
and rise in prices. Timely sowing may enhance growth and
increase the yields.
Wheat acreage has posted a marked increase and is expected
to exceed the previous year's acreage particularly in UP,
MP and Gujarat. Considering this, wheat output is expected
to increase significantly in the current year. However,
the realization of output is thoroughly affected by the
weather conditions during the crop growth particularly in
the grain formation and maturity stages.

GleanSLO calling for volunteers to ‘Harvest for the Hungry’
–Gleaning is the practice of collecting leftover or unused produce from farms, neighborhood gardens and farmer’s markets and sharing that produce with people in need. Between October 16, which is World Food Day and Oct. 24, which is National Food Day, GleanSLO, and the Food Bank Coalition of San Luis Obispo County are organizing events for the public to get involved in the gleaming movement.
The Central Coast is an area of agricultural abundance, yet there are many people that go hungry. Gleaning is an opportunity for communities to come together and help fight hunger right in their own backyards, while connecting with their neighbors, reducing food waste and creating a healthier community. Volunteers and community partners are needed to help local gleaning groups capture the millions of pounds of food that goes unharvested in fields and neighborhoods across the region.
Multiple gleans at commercial farms and backyards to rescue excess produce are being organized by GleanSLO. Volunteers will meet the harvest leaders at the site and harvest for two hours. Produce collected will be distributed to families in need through the Food Bank. Sign up on the GleanSLO website or call (805) 835-3750.
The regional project, Glean805, is the second joint effort between local gleaning groups throughout the 805 region including GleanSLO, Santa Barbara’s Backyard Bounty, Santa Ynez Fruit and Veggie Rescue, FOODShare Ventura and Ventura County’s Branch of Food Forward to raise awareness of gleaning efforts across San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. Additional volunteer opportunities are available in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties by contacting the following: Santa Barbara County: Visit the Backyard Bounty website, phone (805) 967-5741, extension 109 or Santa Ynez Fruit and Veggie Rescue, phone (805) 350-9154. Ventura County: Visit Foodshare Ventura, phone (805) 983-7100 or Food Forward, phone (805) 630-2728.
World Food Day is organized and promoted by United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization to promotes awareness around global food insecurity issues. National Food Day is promoted by the Center for Science in Public Interest and encourages people to eat “real” food instead of processed foods for health and well-being.

During one particular project, the manufacturer was building 2 biogas digester systems at two separate dairy farms in upstate N.Y. Unfortunately, the projects were both in full swing through the winter months and the frigid temperatures that accompany them. These low temperatures represented a big issue, as the manure digesters only produce biogas when the nearly 2 million gallons of manure is kept at 100 degrees Fahrenheit - this allows the enclosed microorganisms to digest the manure and produce their biogas.
In a fully functioning digester, this heat is generated by the CHP unit (combined heat and power) - a 600 KW generator that uses the produced biogas to provide heat to the digester through a heating loop. More importantly however, the CHP unit also produces electricity that the dairy farms can use and then sell back any excess to the grid.
This crucial CHP unit is typically the last component to be completed in the construction of the digester system, meaning both projects found themselves with an immediate solution to power their digester’s heating and electrical operations.

Budbreak...Any Day Now
Posted on Saturday, Apr 02 2011 - 12:00 am
Winter pruning is complete and we wait patiently for budbreak. With the warm weather we are having, it is guaranteed leaves will be unfurling any minute now. Walking through the vineyard, the buds are very swollen and ready to begin their second year of growth.
While we could have hired a crew to come in and prune the vines, we chose to do it ourselves. Working in your vineyard is the best way to get to know its ups and downs. Identifying problem areas early is paramount to creating a well-balanced vineyeard. It just doesn't get more hands on this.
The vineyard teaches us patience and there is nothing better than getting outside after a long Winter of being cooped up doing office work.
We just know the vines are going to do well.

In a press statement released today at the Uganda Media Centre, Lt Col(Rtd). Dr. Rwomirama Bright Kanyontore, Ph.D, the Minister of State for Agriculture Animal Industry and Fisheries, highlighted the remarkable growth and challenges faced by Uganda’s dairy sector. The Annual Report for the Dairy Development Authority (DDA) for the year 2022-2023 was officially launched during the event.
Economic significance of the dairy industry
The minister emphasized the significant role of the dairy industry as a major contributor to Uganda’s economy, providing livelihoods for millions and ensuring food security. The sector accounts for 6.5% of the country’s Agricultural Gross Domestic Product (GDP). A favorable investment climate has attracted Foreign Direct Investment, fueling steady growth in the industry.
Despite reported drought in specific regions, the dairy sector witnessed a commendable 37% increase in milk production, from 2.81 billion liters in FY 2020/21 to 3.85 billion liters in FY 2022/23. The export value of milk and milk products surged from USD 102.6 million in 2021/22 to USD 264.5 million in 2022/23, marking substantial progress.
The press statement acknowledged challenges such as government closures and restrictions on dairy imports by Kenya, a significant export market. This has impacted the income of farmers and led to job losses among processors. Additionally, counterfeit drugs and acaricides have adversely affected the sector, prompting the government to roll out anti-tick vaccines to protect livestock and enhance farmers’ incomes.
Government initiatives and commitments
The Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries, along with the Dairy Development Authority, is actively involved in increasing production, value addition, and quality control. The Clean Milk Production Campaign has resulted in improved milk quality through the distribution of dairy equipment to cooperatives and farmers.
In response to market challenges, the Minister proposed exploring avenues to increase domestic consumption, particularly among school-going children. Milk powder processing for extended shelf life and instant market access is being encouraged. New markets in Algeria and Senegal are expected to provide alternative outlets for Ugandan dairy products.
Combatting Counterfeit Drugs: The government’s commitment to eradicating counterfeit drugs is evident through the introduction of anti-tick vaccines developed by the National Agricultural Research Organization. Once successfully trialed, these vaccines will be made available for widespread use by livestock farmers, providing a more cost-effective and efficient solution to tick-borne diseases.
Investment in livestock improvement
The Ministry, through NAGRCADE, is actively working on enhancing the quality and availability of high-yielding dairy breeds. Community breeding programs and increased accessibility to Artificial Insemination services aim to make dairy farming more profitable.
In conclusion, the Minister expressed gratitude for the commitment of the government and various stakeholders in ensuring the success and sustainability of Uganda’s dairy sector.
