A community garden is a single piece of land worked, maintained, and harvested by a group of people. The Suffolk Master Gardeners Association currently participates in a pollinator garden at Westminster Reformed Presbyterian Church. Most of the produce grown in these gardens is sold or distributed to benefit families in the community.
A demonstration garden is one that is set-up for the purposes of teaching through working example. There are currently 3 demonstration gardens that are maintained by SMGA, including the one at Sleepy Hole Park.
We are very proud of our gardens and hope that you will stop by for a visit soon! In the drop down menu click on the garden’s name to find out more about it. | agronomy |

In my vague, well meaning way, I knew that bees are important, they were being harmed and there was something to be done about it. I signed a petition. Thanks to the good people at the EJF (Environmental Justice Foundation), I am now somewhat more informed.
The situation is approximately this; by UN estimates that bees pollinate 71% of the most common crops grown for 90% of food across 146 countries. Due to the use of toxic pesticides and environmental factors, there has been a drastic decrease in bee population. You can see the problem, if the bees go, it won't just be honey that disappears from the supermarket shelves.
The solution is something like this; a two year ban on harmful pesticides, neonicotinoids, is now in place, thanks to campaigning, which is a jolly good start. The EJF is now investing in woodland, which will provide much-needed habitat for bees and other insect pollinators. Great.
Along with pioneering eco-brand Rapanui, the EJF have produced a t-shirt to raise awareness and money to support the campaign. These t-shirts are produced in a wind-powered Fair Wear Foundation member factory, from 100% organic cotton and printed with phthalate-free inks. And this is British actor Jason Flemyng (you'll have seen him in Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels) showing his support for the bees.
If you want to find out more about the Save the Bees campaign and the extensive work the EJF does, or get your hands on one of the t-shirts, check out their website or visit their pop-up shop this summer at 20 Fouberts Place, Soho, W1F 7PL. | agronomy |

Diversified Italian Farm | Panton, Vermont
Agricola is a small diversified Italian farm in Panton, VT run by Alessandra (Ale) and Stefano (Steu). They specialize in raising and preparing gourmet meats and are particularly known for their pork. They raise Icelandic sheep, ducks and heritage chickens, for both eggs and meat, they produce salame using traditional Italian curing techniques, and they grow Italian varieties of vegetables and herbs. Their animals are lovingly raised on verdant pasture and they strive to farm in connection with our local ecosystem.
About Agricola Farm
A beautiful relationship between land and animals.
Agricola Farm is a combination of animals (pigs, chickens, sheep, ducks, bees and farmers) and land (mostly pasture, some woods, and a vegetable garden). Operating under the belief that animals and land cannot be managed separately, they rely on a silvopastural system. This allows the use of our woods for heating the farm in the winter and, when the season turns, they provide animal shelter and pastures for feed. Intensive rotational grazing requires frequent moves of animals from a paddock to the next to minimize damage to the soil system, but provide fresh new grass the animals.
Because of this approach, the animals live naturally and our land is enriched by their byproducts, favoring the growth of vegetation that keeps our land healthy. The quality of meat benefits from this relationship, too. Our rotations favors the consumption of grass and legumes at their sweetest point, and the constant movement of muscles allows for healthier animals and more flavorful and healthy meat.
Meet the Farmers.
Alessandra, originally of Lake Como, is the founder of Agricola Farm. Over 10 years ago, she set out on a mission to achieve a lifestyle that balanced self-sufficiency, closeness to nature, and endless italian salumi – salami, prosciutti, coppe, salsiccie. In Italy she honed her knowledge on pigs, with thanks to some very old style butchers (norcini) and to the University of Parma. Her respect for animal welfare and her motivation for wholesome food brought her to raise a couple of hogs per year; after 10 years she has a farm with 100 + pigs and less control of her life/mind.
Stefano joined Ale in 2015 after finishing his studies in Agricultural science and earning the title of Agronomist. He came to the US from Torino to learn about farming in the United States, only to find himself involved in an Italian Farm in the middle of Vermont. His professional training drives the farm toward the goal of sustainable farming, focused improving soil health and animal welfare. These values, and his Italian stubbornness and bluntness, make for the perfect collaboration and lively exchanges between the two farmers.

The book is due to be out by late summer. It looks at horticulture, history, culinary uses, food safety, pests and disease, and the race to develop the next Super Apple.
In addition to the text, the book features beautiful orchard photographs by Bar Weeks and me, and a photographic index of more than 120 apple varieties grown in the United States.
It is hard to describe what I am feeling. Giddy, dazed, and exhausted come to mind. There is plenty of work to be done in order to publish this, but completing the manuscript is a major milestone, without which the remaining steps are moot! | agronomy |

What’s the best time to install turf
Mid-autumn is definitely the best time when you should proceed with the task of turf laying. You should start the process by properly raking the surface area. Many experts in the field would indicate the full use of the advantageous situations of the fall season. However, there is another school of thought regarding this. People in this business would advocate the time span between December and February. The weather is favourable. At the same time, you will figure out that turf laying contractors are not that occupied in this part of the year.
Budget-friendly turf laying practices

With turf laying Randwick, you can rest assured on the ground of cost-effective measures. Be it original turf or artificial turf, you can manage to proceed within a budget provided you can have the leverage of adroit specialists.
Combination of functionalities and aesthetics
Be it a small area or a big area, you should get a perfect combination of functionalities as well as aesthetics. Even if you are an amateur, you should have no problem in looking after the turf installation as well as maintenance parts.
- Good for commercial and residential properties: The lush green tract which you will be able to create with turf laying Randwick should persist its green opulence all throughout the year. You do not need to put in a lot of efforts and you can proceed with nominal costs for the turf installation and maintenance efforts.
- Less time required: If you’re worried about the maintenance part, you should know for a fact that a piece of land with turf will call for minimum maintenance efforts. Thus, you will be required to exert nominal energy and time in the process.
- Limited water consumption: There is one more thing. The tract of land where you will apply the leverage of turf laying Randwick will not require too much of water. Limited water consumption is a valued benefit that you can count on.
Contact turf laying specialists for better results

The cannabis plant is believed to have first evolved roughly 28 million years ago based on the results of a pollen research project, the results of which were originally published in May 2019.
More than 4,000 years ago farmers in China started to master the art of cannabis cultivation for the purposes of making rope, clothing, and paper.
Eventually cannabis cultivation moved into greenhouses and indoor spaces, with the levels of sophistication of such gardens varying widely. A big reason for the rise of greenhouse and indoor gardens in the 20th century was survival.
After all, cannabis became prohibited during the 1900s across the globe, with reform victories not occurring until the latter half of the century. As such, hiding cannabis from law enforcement was paramount.
Due to the secretive nature of unregulated cannabis cultivation operations, valuable information was typically not shared between cultivators, and that was the status quo for many years.
Thankfully, that is no longer the case in an increasing number of jurisdictions where personal and/or commercial cultivation is permitted. Legal cultivators are now allowed to share their tips and tricks as they see fit, without the fear of prosecution.
It is truly a golden age for advances in cannabis production, and that is not limited to indoor cultivation operations. Cannabis gardens cultivated entirely under the sun are benefitting from research pertaining to regenerative cultivation methods.
Many greenhouse-based operations are generating more harvests than ever before thanks to advances in light deprivation strategies. Legal indoor gardens are becoming more advanced than ever before thanks to such things as vertical farming and the incorporation of increasingly-energy efficient technologies.
So much is going on in the cultivation sector of the emerging international cannabis industry that it can be hard to keep up with it all.
That is compounded by the amount of misinformation being spread around the internet when it comes to proper cultivation techniques and advancing technologies. Separating fact from hype is becoming increasingly difficult.
The best way to learn more about the cutting-edge of cannabis production technology is to hear directly from true experts that are helping lead the revolution, which is exactly what is set to occur at the upcoming International Cannabis Business Conference in Barcelona on March 9.
The conference will serve as Spain’s largest cannabis B2B event and will feature a panel dedicated to emerging cultivation technologies.

The agriculture and food processing sector plays an instrumental role in augmenting the growth of the economy, as it is an important source of raw material for the industrial sector.
India’s agrarian culture and varied regional climate have made a significant contribution to the global food basket. Indian curries, mangoes, snacks and spices are known for their excellent quality worldwide. Globally, India holds the top position in the following food segments:
- India is the largest producer of milk in the world (127.9 million tonnes)
- India has the largest buffalo population (111 million)
- It is the largest producer of mangoes in the world (16.1 million tonnes)
- It is also the largest producer of bananas (28.4 million tonnes)
- It occupies the second position in fruit (76.4 million tonnes ) and vegetable production (156.3 million tonnes)
- It is the second-largest producer of fish in the world (8.6 million tonnes)
The exports of agriculture products has touched US$ 37,029 million in 2012-13, registering a growth of 13.6 per cent over the previous year. Exports of cereals, fresh and processed fruits and vegetables, floriculture, animal products and other processed foods generated a revenue of US$ 22,138 million, accounting for 59.7 per cent of total agriculture exports. | agronomy |

People are drinking less milk. According to USDA data, per capita milk consumption has gone down a whole 33 pounds per person in the last ten years. But in some states, dairy producers are selling more milk than ever.
Milk sales per state show how much milk is sold to dairy processors who either package milk or turn it into other dairy products. USDA “sales” state data takes into account mostly how much dairy farmers produce, because almost all of the milk made ends up being sold, according to Michael Miller of the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service. It shows significant increases in milk sold to plants from states like Texas, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas. But it turns out, the increase in sales and the migration inwards over the last 10 years is more about cheese - which Americans are eating more than ever of - than milk.
What’s behind increased production in these middle states? A few factors are involved: active efforts by developers have attracted dairy production along the “I-29 corridor,” tempting smaller farmers from the coasts to migrate toward dryer climates, looser regulation, and more readily available cow feed.
According to Matt Gould, editor of the Dairy and Food Market Analyst and chief market analysts at Rice Dairy, “State level development folks have tried to increase dairy processing capacity and dairy farms along the I-29,” he said. South Dakota, for example has seen an increase of over 30% in their milk production by sales from 2007-2017. An article by the Argus Leader says that South Dakota has almost doubled their dairy production by increasing the number of cows per herd and attracting dairies to the area along the road closest to processing plants.
According to Andrew M. Novakovic, a professor of agricultural economics at Cornell University and an expert on agricultural and food policy, “A lot of California farmers got tired of all the environmental restrictions and taxes and said, ‘to heck with that’ and moved to New Mexico or moved to Idaho,” he said. “Some of the growth in South Dakota has actually been from farms coming from the East for much the same reasons.”
Historically, it would have been rare for a dairy farmer to pick up and relocate to another state. “The notion of saying, ‘oh gosh, what the hell, let’s go to South Dakota’ isn’t an easy choice, both for the connection to the land as also the connection to the community and family,” Novakovic said. “It’s not like Amazon saying, let’s go open up a headquarters in Queens.”
Small dairy farmers on the coasts have always put down deep roots - passing down dairy operations from generation to generation and building tight-knit communities, according to Novakovic. But in states like Florida and California, where environmental restrictions and dense human populations mean cows are increasingly expensive to house and care for, tax incentives and cheaper land are enough to sway small farmers to move.
Some states have even relied on recruiting farmers from the Netherlands, where, according to an article by the Chicago Tribune, quotas on milk production and expensive land have pushed many small farmers to sell their land over the last decade and purchase larger farms in states along the I-29 corridor. Gould said that the Netherlands have now reached their environmental limits in the small country, and can no longer grow their herds.
But even as milk production increases in along this highway, and overall, the US appetite for fluid milk from the store has declined. The US saw combined milk sales to processors increase by 10.5 percent over from 2007-2017, but more and more of what dairy farmers sell ends up being used to make dairy products like cheese, powdered milk and butter. USDA data shows yogurt production has steadily increased of the last decade, with an explosion in greek yogurts like Chobani. A story by Marketplace showed a steady increase in cheese consumption in recent years, with no sign of the trend slowing down.
And meanwhile, he said, we’re seeing cheese inching its way into more meals each day. “Cheese has done a much better job positioning itself to be relevant to America’s consumer than milk,” Gould said. “It used to be you’d only eat cheese on a sandwich or probably on a pizza as well. Now you can eat it for lunch, or snacks, and it’s certainly embedded itself in fast food things like that.”
According to Gould, it takes 10 pounds of milk to make just one pound of cheese. Even so, he says it may not be enough to make up for a lack of demand for milk. Miller said, “they’re trying to find all different kinds of ways to use it, but I don’t know if they’re finding enough other uses for the milk to make up for the drop in fluid sales. | agronomy |

Sludge is usually treated before disposal or recycling in order, e.g. to reduce its water content or the presence of pathogens.
Due to the limited number of disposal sites and limits required by the sludge management, disposal of mechanically only drained sewage sludge will become both more difficult and more expensive.
Usage of sludge in agriculture as fertilizer or soil conditioner related to the several issues such as
- Handling problems due to odor and high water content
- Soil contamination by bringing in pathogens, parasites, seeds of weeds
- Heavy metal contamination of soil
Composting may solve the first issue, however this option requires considerable space and takes times.
Several European countries banned agricultural use of sludge.
The advantage of the pyrolysis process is the effective reduction of volume and mass of the dewatered sludge and vaporization of organic toxic agents from the sludge (e.g. PCB, PAK) into harmless substances in the combustion chamber. Mercury and its compounds are thermo decomposed and vaporized as well.
Pyrolysis also performs energy recycling. Moreover, no supplementary fuel supply is required for the normal operations: significant reductions of running costs.
Self-contained pyrolysis sludge treatment facility of the dewatered sludge with moisture content 78-80% reduces sludge to ~12% of the initial amount. Proper sludge dewatering (30-35% moisture) followed by the pyrolysis process simultaneously disposes waste and also generates considerable amounts of energy.
Char from the pyrolysis process has properties similar to brown coal andf could be used as a bio-fuel.
Pyrolysis can also be used for recovery of such valuable material as phosphorus

J. Ludovico Farm is a family owned operations that started in 2011. The operation has three sites on Oahu. Two of the sites are focused on pasture raised poultry for meat. The third location is currently in development and will focus on specialty crops.
The Ludovicos did not intentionally set out to farm commercially. Julius has been trained previously, along with a group of cohorts in the concepts and applications of Korean Natural Farming under Han Kyu Cho/“Master Cho.” With new knowledge and an opportunity to practice on an acre and half, the ultimate goal was to supplement family and minimize food needs from supermarkets.
In the first year, various crops - asparagus, kabocha, lilikoi, cassava, bananas, dragon fruit, galangal and curry trees were planted. Two piglets, two goats and a small flock of ducks were added shortly after planting.
The chickens sneaked in by accident. A farmer friend offered a chance to bring a few egg laying chicks. Shortly after, meat chickens were added to the mix.
The operation has since focused on offering meat chickens raised on pasture and protected by using a movable bottomless coop/tractor. The coops are moved at an interval to minimize stress, maximize grazing time and optimal growth conditions.
The chickens are harvested and processed twice weekly. The chickens are subsequently provided to retail outlets and select food establishments the following day. | agronomy |

By George Epp
Bonnie Prince Charlie has spoken out again, this time on the evils of corporate farming and the rush to genetically modified food products. Apparently he was being interviewed by the Daily Telegraph recently when he was reported to have said of the corporations concerned that they are conducting a “gigantic experiment with nature and the whole of humanity which has gone seriously wrong. Why else are we facing all these challenges, climate change and everything?” (
I’m not sure you can trust completely a person who ends his opinion with “all these challenges, climate change and everything.” Seems to me that climate change and genetic manipulation (not to mention “everything”) are separated by enough distance to make lumping them together and laying them at the feet of one villain unacceptable, rhetorically.
Genetic modification has been with us for a long time. Here in Rosthern, a man by the name of Seeger Wheeler selected seed from different strains of wheat and mated them until he achieved a desired result: better, earlier maturing grain. Wheeler, however, took years to achieve a very small alteration in the genetic makeup of wheat, and furthermore, he was not aiming at control over the seed industry and the chemical inputs that go with it like modern corporations are. I admit that I share the Prince’s skepticism about the practices we’re currently seeing in the food industry, primarily because they’re profit driven, and if power corrupts, then so does profit. Profit begets power.
The debate gets quite heated. On the radio the other day, an industry person and an ecologist were exchanging pretty emotional viewpoints on the subject. From industry: the growing population requires that the tools of genetic modification be applied in order to achieve the production that will be needed to feed everyone. From environmentalists: the corporate takeover of the food industry is effectively driving farmers off the land all over the world and forcing them to subsist in the slums and ghettos of the big cities. From environmentalists: the introduction of genetically modified crops is doing way more damage than good. From industry: No it hasn’t; it’s working really well. From the environmentalist: No it’s not!
Charles cites the onslaught on the water tables in
Prince Charles is frequently the butt of jokes. He’s an aging heir to the throne who may die of old age before his wiry mother is ready to hand the throne over to him. His estrangement from the divine Diana and simultaneous entanglement with Camilla Parker Bowles didn’t help his image much, and most of us are automatically skeptical when a man of wealth and influence—who farms as a hobby—speaks out on the subject of agriculture.
But today I’m with Charles. We dare not put the earth’s future in the hands of the corporate elite. They make a mess of everything. They exploit, they pollute, they manipulate people, and they simply are not the kind of global citizen that is needed to grapple with the big issues of the day. | agronomy |

According to a recent Farm Journal Media survey, farmers are ahead of the curve when it comes to adopting new technology. In fact, 59% of farmers use a smartphone in their daily operations, and 44% use a tablet.
Smart technologies have enabled farmers to reduce costs, maximize yields and profits, and still be incredibly efficient in the process. Mobile apps have been game changers to today’s on-the-go growers and ag retailers alike. Below is our list of apps (in no particular order) that can help you farm smarter:
Field Navigator – For equipment that doesn’t already have GPS guidance, there’s Field Navigator. You can map out fields, measure the size of your farm, or make sure you’re driving in straight, parallel lines.
AccuWeather – There are a lot of good weather apps, but AccuWeather is well known for its accuracy and easy-to-use interface. For a couple bucks, upgrading to the ad-free paid version is totally worth it.
eBay – Almost every farmer we know has either bought or sold something on eBay at some point. Don’t let those great deals and hard to find parts slip away – get the app and receive notifications when your watched items are about to end.
JStock – There are several farm-specific stock market apps out there, and they’re all horrible. JStock sets itself apart with its ultra clean interface and desktop version for your PC.
Agrobase – Easily identify diseases, insects or pests in your field and find a hassle-free solution for crop protection. Agrobase lets you save money on pesticides, fungicides or herbicides, and aim for higher yield.
If you have a favorite farming app, let us know about it – and we’ll add it to the list! | agronomy |

Taitung County, located on the southeastern side of Taiwan, has a steady year-round climate, thanks to its geographical location and the Pacific Ocean's Kuroshio Current, which brings warm weather and seas to the area. With abundant resources from the Central Mountain Range, the county rarely, if ever, suffers from lack of water.
Because of this good fortune, and the fact that the soil here is nutrient rich, Taitung is wonderfully suited for agriculture. Lanyu and Green islands, off the coast of Taitung, are Taiwan's only islands situated in a rainy, tropical zone, making them very fertile. Besides high-quality rice that enjoys a good reputation all over Taiwan, Taitung is well-known for sugar apples, tea leaves, day lilies, roselle, wentan pomelos, and moth orchids.
The plains and valleys surrounding the southern tip of the Central Mountain Range is Taitung's granary, as towns like Chihshang, Guanshan, and Luye, produce wholesome rice and grain. The higher elevation, industry-free environment and frequent rainstorms, coupled with large temperature changes between night and day, make the products grown here top quality.
Sugar apples from Taitung are very well-known and popular throughout Taiwan, as well. These fruit have two or three times the pulp of sugar apples grown in other parts of the island, and their growing season goes from mid-summer to the beginning of spring. The start of the season also sees roadside vendors springing up along highways and brings tourists to taste this pulpy, honey-flavored fruit.
Two Taitung locations, "Fulu Teas" in Luye and Taifong High Mountain Teas" in Taimali and Jinfong, grow tea. They mostly grow Oolong, Jinxuan, and Cuiyu teas. Farmers from the area usually pick their tea far more often than other tea-growing regions. The "Bujhihchun" early-spring tea and "Dongpian" late-winter teas each have their own unique flavor. Taifong High Mountain Tea is grown at a higher elevation and is a special variety of Oolong that has a translucent color and a sweet, dry aftertaste. It's considered one of the highest quality teas on the island. Roselle is another specialty treat from Jinfong, Taimali, Beinan and Taitung City; it's used in refreshing summer drinks, jams, tea bags, liquor and snacks.
There is plenty of farm produce grown in Taitung county as well. Apart from rice, sugar apples, tea leaves and roselle, other fruit like bananas, watermelons, pears, plums, coconuts, navel oranges, tangerines, wentan pomelos, white shaddocks, papaya, Chinese dates, mangos and avocados are cultivated. Millet and corn, as well as other vegetables like tomatoes, green peppers, cabbage, baoshin white cabbage and shansu, are also scatted around the farms here. | agronomy |

This study estimated the genetic parameters for feed efficiency, dry matter intake, methane production, and ruminal microbiome profile in order to incorporate feed efficiency into the breeding goal. Data consisted of 11,042 weekly averaged records for dry matter obtained from 551 cows in 5 farms, as well as 4,624 methane emission measurements using a non-dispersive infrared methane detector installed within the feed bin of the automatic milking system during 14 to 21 days period from 1,501 cows in 14 farms. In addition, ruminal content was extracted from 437 cows with methane phenotypes. Data for milk yield, protein yield, fat yield, fertility, body depth, rump width, chest width and predicted live weight from 11,228 cows were included in the analysis. Heritability and genetic correlations were estimated from bivariate models within a single step framework using AIREML. The heritability estimate for dry matter intake was moderate (0.16±0.03), with a genetic correlation with milk yield of 0.41 (0.11), and with type traits ranging from 0.25 to 0.49. Heritability estimates for methane production (0.17±0.05) and methane concentration (0.18±0.04) were moderate, and their genetic correlations with milk yield were close to zero (-0.05±0.11 and 0.04±0.11). Higher genetic correlations were estimated with type traits, ranging from 0.14 to 0.59. Genetic correlations between methane traits and dry matter intake were positive and ranged from 0.20±0.48 to 0.27±0.43. This suggests a correlated response in methane emissions when selecting for more ravenous animals. The microbiome aggregated variables showed higher positive genetic correlation with methane traits (0.53±0.19 and 0.87±0.19), and dry matter intake (0.32±0.36). These results highlight an important interrelationship between methane production and dry matter intake, with a significant role of the microbiome composition. The results suggest that selecting cows that make a more efficient utilization of energy intake is feasible through selection on correlated type traits such as body capacity, stature, and body depth, without compromising high productive performance. Selection for lower methane emissions is expected to have similar results. The inclusion of the microbiome composition may assist on a more efficient selection on both, lower emissions and higher feed efficiency. However, proper weights must be applied in the selection indices to maintain current genetic trends on productive and functional traits.

A healthy lawn is green, thick, and cool, and it invites you to take off your shoes and walk barefoot on it. It’s where you teach your child how to throw a curveball or to kick a soccer ball. A beautiful lawn shows you have pride in your home and community.
If you neglect your lawn and don’t have a solid lawn care service plan, weeds can overcome your grass. Disease or lawn damaging insects can cause your grass to become thin and create bare spots that spread.
A healthy lawn offers many benefits to you and the area around your home. Here’s some fun lawn facts:
· Grass cools surrounding areas. As much as 50% of heat striking a turf area is eliminated by a process called ‘transpiration’ in which plants cool themselves. So in essence, your grass acts like a miniature air conditioner.
· Grass acts as a water filter and helps clean up our urban environment.
· A healthy lawn prevents water runoff and encourages growth of beneficial organisms, such as earthworms, soil microbes and useful insects.
· Lawns pull in greenhouse gases as they grow and reduce carbon dioxide caused by burning fossil fuels.Unless you’re a committed (and very knowledgeable) do-it-yourselfer, the best way to bring your lawn back to health is to seek the help of a professional like us at Red Landscape Management.
The experts at Red Mountain Landscape are here to offer you knowledgeable, proven advice known to work in your area. Getting your lawn back into shape includes getting it the proper nutrition in the form of fertilizer, at the right time of the year and in the right amount. Getting your lawn back into top shape may also require more specialized lawn care services such as insect and disease control.
You lawn may also benefit from aerating, de-thatching, or over seeding. Once you make the decision to choose Corion for your landscaping needs a lawn specialist will evaluate your soil condition, grass type and lawn usage to determine your lawn’s specific needs. This analysis provides us with the information needed to recommend services to restore your lawn back to its full health and beauty.

He is an ex-IDF officer and speaks excellent Hebrew, which was great for me because my Arabic is limited to maybe four words. Paul Nirens, owner of the Galileat organization that leads culinary tours with Druze and Christian Arabs of the Galilee, brought me to Abu Heissam’s field to see how freekeh is made.
This is green durum wheat in the field. Beautiful, isn’t it?
I was at Abu Heissam’s farm in the spring, when colorful wildflowers and herbs seed themselves and grow underfoot everywhere. Oats, already wispy and ripe, stood thick in a plot next to the wheat field. Olive trees made a silver-green border between the fields and the road. There’s a different feeling in the energy of the Galilee. It’s the delicious fresh air; the presence of hills around you and steep roads bordered by vineyards, fields, and wild plants. A slower rhythm in the way people talk and move. It’s a place where traditional foodways are still observed and enjoyed. I was standing in a field, about to watch the ancient way of making freekeh, and I was thrilled.
Abu Heissam built up a pile of fast-burning dry thorns and heaped the green wheat on top.
“I want a fire that burns high but burns out quickly, or the wheat will burn,” he explained. “The wheat was cut down and set to dry and shrink somewhat in the field several days ago. It should come out only a little charred. ”
With a cigarette lighter, he touched a flame here and there around the pile of wheat and thorns.
“This is only a small demonstration,” he said. “When we do the real harvesting, the whole family comes out to help. We also roast green oats,” he continued, waving at the golden field behind him, “but wheat gives a bigger yield.”
It took only a few minutes for the fire to burn itself out, and for the wheat to cool down enough to handle.
Abu Heissam washed his hands with his own home-made olive oil soap. Can you imagine standing under your own olive trees that give you fruit, oil, and soap?
The traditional sieves are hand-made.
I picked some grains off the tarp and ate them. The chewy, freshly-roasted kernels taste smoky of course, but also have a certain sweetness.
Abu Heissam winnowed, standing downwind. “This is women’s work,” he said. Not to oppose tradition, but I thought he was doing alright.
“Wheat is our basic food,” Abu Heissam said. “We Druze can’t exist without bulgur and olive oil. King Solomon sat on a throne with a lion to the left and to the right; likewise, we store bulgur and olive oil, enough of each for two years. We ex-army Druze have our government pensions and benefits. But we pay for the food we eat with the money we make from farming the land.”

Carcass Disposal Information
Data was kindly provided by Dr. Michael Byers
Despite the best care afforded them, farm animals will succumb to injury, disease, and other factors, and the management of mortalities will always be an important aspect of livestock farming. Typical methods for the disposal of animal mortalities have included rendering, burial, incineration, and composting. Decreased availability of rendering services and biosecurity issues have made this disposal option less appealing, while incineration can be costly and can adversely affect air quality. Burial can be difficult, especially during the winter months, and has the potential to contaminate groundwater. For these reasons, composting is often the method of choice for mortality disposal.

- Composting can be defined as the controlled decomposition of organic materials. Decomposition occurs when organic materials go through a "slow cooking" process as microorganisms metabolize the organics. Rapid decomposition is an aerobic process, requiring oxygen. The process will produce carbon dioxide, water vapor, heat, and compost. The combination of the cooking process, rapid degradation, and compost cover minimizes odor and flies. In order to generate a healthy poultry composting process, the following four elements are necessary:
Proper nutrient mix: The carbon:nitrogen ratio (C:N) is very important for microorganisms to process the organic materials into compost. The C:N should be in the range of 20:1 to 35:1. A carbon:phosphorus ratio (C:P) of 100:1 to 150:1 is also desirable.
Moisture: Moisture is also very important for the microbial activity to process the organic material into compost. A range of 40 to 60 percent is desirable. The process will not operate effectively if the material is too dry or too wet.
Temperature: If the C:N ratio, moisture, and oxygen are at the proper levels, thermophilic aerobic bacteria activity will cause the mass to heat to temperatures ranging from 135° to 145°F. Carbon dioxide and water vapor are generated as byproducts of the composting process. Temperature should be monitored by using a 36-inch stem composting thermometer.
pH Control: A proper C:N ratio should keep pH in check. However, if for some reason the pH level approaches 8, ammonia and other odors may become a problem. The pH needs to be reduced by adding such products as granular ferrous sulfate. A pH in the range of 6.5 to 7.2 is best for composting.
The materials needed for composting are water; a bulking material such as straw, wood chips, or sawdust; dead birds; and poultry litter. Sawdust works well by itself as the only bulking material. These materials are layered into a pile or windrow no more than 12 feet wide and 7 feet high. The length of the windrow can be as long as necessary to hold the number of birds to be composted. Provide at least 1 cubic foot of bulking material per 10 pounds of expected mortality (for example: 1,000 birds at 3 pounds each would require 300 cubic feet [11 cubic yards] of bulking material).
- Carbon Source Requirements
- Large animals such as cows and horses should be composted in sawdust, moist but not wet silage, screenings from a manure flush system or other carbon material with discrete small particles. A base layer of dry material should be placed at least one foot deep under the animal to act as a sponge for fluids that seep from the carcass. The bigger the animal the deeper the base layer. The base layer should extend at least two feet beyond all sides of the animal. The animal should be covered with compost ingredient material to form a peaked pile such that a minimum of one foot of cover exists all around the animal. Multiple large animals can form a windrow.
As to the exact quantity per animal it depends on the size but for mature cows and horses it might range from 4 to 6 cubic yards of material per animal.
- Carbon Medium
- Sawdust is the best medium to mix with mortalities. Other high carbon materials including chopped straw, corn cobs, corn silage, mixture of manure and straw/sawdust, etc. may be possible but sawdust in research trials at the Ridgetown College of Agricultural Technology gave highest temperatures and fastest breakdown of materials.
For every kilogram of mortality to be composted one kilogram of sawdust is needed. If the mixture gets too dark during the compost period, more sawdust should be added. The mortalities can be buried into the medium as they occur. (A 20 litre pail of sawdust weighs approximately five kilograms.)
- Animal Preparation
- Usually large animals are cut to expose internal organs to the sawdust or other compost materials you use. Large muscle masses can be sliced to increase surface area. Leg tendons need to be sliced so that the animal can be laid backbone down and legs folded. However, some farmers make no preparation and simply bury the animal in compost material with no less success at carcass degradation.
- Site Preparation
- The composting site begins with a twelve inch layer of sawdust. This layer will insulate the composting material from the outside environment, provide carbon to fuel the composting process, and provide sufficient space between particles to allow gas flow and preserve the aerobic nature of the pile. Alternative carbon sources such as poultry litter or bedding material can be substituted for sawdust with similar results. Ensuring adequate moisture content within the compost pile is necessary for optimal activity, and using a carbon source already possessing significant water content will reduce the requirement for additional water.
Carcasses are then evenly placed on this carbon layer, taking care to keep them at least six inches from the side walls. These carcasses are then covered with another twelve inches of sawdust, and water is added to this layer to keep the pile uniformly moist. Liquid manure can be substituted for water. As more mortalities become available, additional layers are added to the pile in the same manner. If a large animal is added to the pile, it may be necessary to dig a trough in the existing pile into which the animal can be inserted and then covered.
- A: Static Piles
- Static piles take a long time to compost.
- B: Open Windrows
- Open windrows are labor intensive
A windrow 12 feet wide by 6 feet long will hold approximately 300 pounds of mortality per foot of length. The materials required per foot of windrow length (300 pounds of mortality) would be 14 cubic feet of litter (400 pounds) and 16 cubic feet of wood chips, sawdust, or straw (700 pounds).
- C: In-Vessel Composting
- Construction costs are often prohibitive
- D: AG-Bag Environmental's EcoPOD Technology
- Site Requirements
- Grading- hard packed surface
- Water- for adding moisture before filling pod
- Electricity for powering the aeration system | agronomy |

Mechanical weed control used in three ways.
1st Cutting off the plant. When doing this, it is important to cut the plant below the growing point. Which is the point on the plant where it grows out of. If you cut the plant above the growing point the plant will continue to grow and expand.
2nd Pulling up plants by the roots. It is the most time-consuming method when you have to do this by hand.
3rd Cover the plants so that no light reaches them. All plants require sunlight to grow.
Thermal weed control
The fastest method is by quickly heating the weeds using a weed brurner. It's important to understand you should not actively burn the weeds away (do not start a fire that you can't control) but just sweep the flame over the weeds. The fluid in the cells expands when heated and burst the cell walls. The plant can no longer take up fluid and nutrients and dies. Some weeds die immediately after treatment, while others survive. These weeds require repeated treatment. Do not give up - be patient. | agronomy |

Each types, mixed-model analysis from variance was used to evaluate the results out-of crossing therapy (repaired impact; which have maternal forest incorporated as the an arbitrary impression) towards the part of hands-pollinated vegetation means adult fruits, pricing out-of vegetables germination and you may seedling survivorship, seedling proportions in the step 1 year, and cumulative exercise. Multiple models was indeed examined using ANOVA: (a) also all the solutions, (b) excluding imbalanced service, allowing evaluation out-of interaction conditions, (c) minus selfing medication (since maternal trees was basically mainly otherwise entirely notice-incompatible), and you can (d) grouping all the within this-Sinharaja outcrossing treatments to evaluate the end result away from within this- against. between-forest crossing. The result of crossing length for each parameter is subsequent checked using linear or quadratic regression investigation, according to the form of the partnership. Finally, per maternal forest, the effects away from nearest-next-door neighbor and much time-point mating was indeed projected owing to indices of biparental inbreeding anxiety and you can outbreeding anxiety, respectively, considering cumulative fitness viewpoints.
Fruit abortion was heavy for all trees, resulting in low fruit set (range across treatments: 2.0–9.7%; Fig. 2a). The timing of abortion was not discernable across treatments. Self-compatibility was low, but variable, across maternal trees (Fig. 2a). Flowers used for tests of apomixis (N = 360) and autogamy (N = 582) failed to set fruit. All analyses of variance in fruit set revealed a highly significant treatment effect and significant maternal tree effect, but no significant interaction between treatment and maternal tree (Tables 2A and 3A). For all three trees, the percentage of experimental flowers setting mature fruit showed a consistent increase with crossing distance, followed by a severe decline in fruit set with the distant between-forest treatment (Fig. 2a). The relationship between crossing distance and fruit set was nearly identical for the three maternal trees and significant with or without the self-pollinated treatment included in the model (quadratic regression model: arcsine square-root [fruit set] = crossing distance [km] + crossing distance 2 ; results without self-pollinated treatment: Fdos,57 = 8.25, P < 0.0007, R 2 = 0.47). Peak mean fruit set occurred at a crossing distance of 1–2 km (distant within-forest treatment) and was 1.7–4.7 times greater than mean fruit set rates for other hand-pollination treatments, averaged across maternal trees. Mean fruit set rate for the distant within-forest treatment was significantly greater than those for all treatments except distant-neighbor and open-pollinated, but consistently exceeded fruit set of open-pollinated flowers (Fig. 2a).
Fruit set was also https://datingranking.net/it/i-migliori-siti-di-incontri/ low for Sh. cordifolia (range across treatments: 0–5.3%; Fig. 2b). Again, the timing of fruit abortion was not discernable among treatments. Selfed and distant between-forest treatments resulted in 0% and <1% fruit set, respectively. Fruit set from the intermediate-distance cross-pollinations varied across maternal trees, but with one exception (nearest-neighbor treatment at Tree number 1) indicated optimal fruit set at an outcrossing range of ?2 km (distant neighbor treatment; Fig. 2b). All analyses of variance in fruit set revealed a highly significant treatment effect, but no maternal tree effect (Tables 2B and 3B). The relationship between crossing distance and fruit set was significant only when the selfed treatment was excluded (quadratic regression model: arcsin square root [fruit set] = crossing distance [km] + crossing distance 2 ; F2,57 = 5.71, P < 0.006, R 2 = 0.41). At each maternal tree, fruit set rate for open-pollinated flowers was greater than that for all hand-cross treatments, suggesting that some aspect of the hand-pollination procedure (e.g., flower handling, bagging) caused reduced fruit set in Sh. cordifolia. | agronomy |

Benefits of Colorful Potatoes: All colorful potatoes provide carotenoids (and some also provide flavonoids) that white potatoes do not. Carotenoids and flavonoids are pigments, and according to nutritional research, they provide us with many health benefits, including cancer protection. The differences in color between varieties of potatoes are basically differences in carotenoid and flavonoid content. While Americans are accustomed to potatoes with a white inside, potatoes in other parts of the world more commonly have starchy yellow insides. In the U.S. we call potatoes with yellow insides “specialty potatoes.” However, worldwide they are the norm rather than the exception. The blue in blue potatoes comes from their flavonoid content. Both the flavonoids found in blue potatoes and the carotenoids found in yellow potatoes help promote good health!
Types of Potatoes: Some carotenoid- and flavonoid-rich potatoes currently available in different regions of the U.S. include: Yukon Gold (currently the best-selling yellow potato in the U.S. marketplace), Michigold, Donna, All Blue (also called “Purple Marker”), Purple Viking, Saginaw Gold, Red Gold, Rose Gold, and Ruby Crescent.
Nutrition Issues: The presence of carotenoids and flavonoids, however, does not affect the carbohydrate content of potatoes. You’ll get more fiber and minerals per bite from smaller potatoes of any kind, since they have more surface area per amount of starchy inside. The three to seven grams of fiber contained in a medium-sized potato are mostly in the skin, so consider enjoying it as well as the potato’s insides the next time you cook some spuds. Of course, unless your potato is an organically grown one, you’ll be getting most of the pesticide residue here—in the skin—as well, which is one of the reasons I am a big advocate for purchasing potatoes (and other foods) that are organically grown. | agronomy |

Coffee has been grown in Puerto Rico for over 275 years. Between 1855 and 1898, for a relatively brief moment, all the necessary conditions to sustain a vigorous coffee industry were sustained in Puerto Rico: cheap land; an abundant, dependent and low-paid labor force; credit and financing by merchant firms; favorable access to international markets; relatively high market prices; and the agricultural know-how to take advantage of it all. Today, however, the coffee industry is on the verge of disappearing from the island.

Fall is one of the most beautiful times of the year. The air carries a crisp breeze and the leaves turn into the most amazing shades of orange, yellow, red and brown. It is the time when kids crunch through the yard and take turns diving and jumping in giant piles of them. Eventually, between Halloween and Thanksgiving, the leaves become just a mess on your lawn.
Fall clean up is an arduous task for tree-filled landscape owners. If there are only a few leaves, you can blow them into the bushes or run the lawn mower over them, turning them into fertilizer. The rule of thumb is if your lawn is covered with leaves, they will smother and kill your grass. Your lawn requires complete leaf removal.
Leaf cleanup is essential for preserving the aesthetic quality, health, and value of your property. The basic elements that your lawn needs to thrive are moisture and sunlight. A lawn that is covered by decomposing leaves is going to prohibit moisture and sunshine from reaching the turf below. The result is an unhealthy lawn and increased expenses to revive it. Proper landscaping requires the right equipment and knowledge if you are going to do it effectively. At A TNT Construction Company Lawn Services, we take pride in our work and have the knowledge, equipment, and experience to provide you with expert lawn and tree care.
ATNT Construction Company offers leaf cleanup in towns such as Taunton, Raynham, Norton, Mansfield, Rehoboth, Swansea, Middleboro, Lakeville and Bridgewater, Massachusetts.

Stanley Fertilizer Co., Ltd. develops, produces and sells fertilizer products. The company's mainproducts include chlorine-based compound fertilizer, special fertilizer and controlled-releasefertilizer.
Stanley Agricultural Group (002588: SZ) released financial results of 16H1. The operatingrevenue stood at CNY 3.019billion, down 9.50% YoY. The operating profit reached CNY 446million, up 10.89% YoY. The net profit attributable to shareholders of parent company was CNY378million, up 15.46% YoY. Calculated by total share capital of 1.166billion shares, the dilutedEPS was CNY 0.32. (The EPS after deducting non-recurring items was CNY 0.31.) The OCFPSwas CNY 0.16. In the second quarter, the company received operating revenue of CNY 1.608billion, down 5.37% YoY. The net profit attributable to the parent company was CNY 226million, down 13.63% YoY. The EPS for the quarter was CNY 0.19. The company estimate thatthe net profit attributable to the parent company for Jan-September, 2016will range betweenCNY 621million and CNY 675million, up 15%-25%.
Stanley Agricultural Group has released its 2016interim results, in line with ourexpectations. Sales of compound fertilizers grew steadily, pushing up the earnings YoY.
The sales increased rapidly, thus increasing the earnings. In the first half of 2016, theagricultural product price continued dropping, the prices of elemental fertilizers were on thedecline. China’s compound fertilizer market remained sluggish. Stanley Agricultural Groupstrived to increase sales by improving services. It has been committed to expanding footprinton the market to increase sales. The sales, as a result, grew steadily at 15% in the first half of2016, which became the key driver for earnings.
In view of the data on the financial report, repetitive imposing of value-added taxescontinued to affect revenue and costs. (Value-added taxes need to be deducted from bothoperating revenue and expense, starting from September, 2015). Revenue decreased by 9.50%YoY in 16H1. This was caused by both value-added taxes and dropping prices of fertilizer. Thegross profit and the cost-income ratio increased by 8.75% YoY and 8.77% YoY respectively. Thegrowth of gross profit is generally slower than the sales growth. The company’s gross profit permetric ton decreased somewhat, mainly due to the continued drop in raw material andproduct prices, cancelation of tax break and changes on product mix. In addition, thecompany’s gross profit margin rose by 4.57percentage points YoY, mainly because the grossmargin per metric ton fell at a slower pace than the average product price and the impositionof value-added tax has further pushed down the income. The cost-income ratio increased by2.18percentage points, mainly due to the YoY drop in revenue as a result of increasingcost-income ratio. In addition, the company’s non-operating revenue increase by around CNY10million, exerting positive impact on the company’s earnings growth.
Market rebounded in 16Q2, with QoQ increase in sales. In the compound fertilizer market, asthe inventory was fully consumed and agriculture planting just started, we saw rising amountof purchasing at the downstream. Compound fertilizer in 16Q2grew at a slightly faster pacethan that in 16Q1. The revenue stood at CNY 1.608billion, down 5.37% YoY. (Revenuedecreased by 13.79% YoY in 16Q1due to dropping product price and repetitive imposing ofvalue-added taxes). The net profit reached CNY 226million, up 13.63% YoY. Sales revenue forthe second quarter grew 13.49% QoQ while the net profit increased 49.47% QoQ, showingtrend of rebound. The company’s net profit went up by 14.6%-40.1% YoY, growing with astrong momentum.
Agricultural service progressed smoothly, actively improving the industry chain andoptimizing the business model. The company has established sixteen agricultural jointventures in north-eastern region, Inner Mongolia, northern region and north-western region.The company also acquired two agricultural subsidiaries in Shouguang (Shangdong) andGansu. Affected by dropping grain prices and adjustment on corn purchasing and storagepolicies, the company slowed down the expansion of the agricultural services. The integratedcrop cultivation solutions and the whole-process management have been further streamlinedand optimized. The agricultural service industry chain has been improved, paving way foraccelerated growth in the future. The order-based agricultural service model targetingindividual farmers in central China will be further improved. The company has stepped upefforts on developing agricultural service, which will help broaden the company’s long-termgrowth prospects.
Reiterate BUY. As a leading compound fertilizer producer in China, Stanley Fertilizer Group hasfurther expanded its business across the nation. The company’s product mix has been furtheroptimized. The sales and earnings grow with sound momentum. The company has graduallyimproved the agricultural planting service industry chain through organic growth, M&A andindustrial cooperation. It has explored different planting services models in the north-easternregion and the central region, which will broaden the growth prospects of the company.Calculated with the latest share capital, we made our EPS forecast for the company at CNY0.63in 2016, CNY 0.78in 2017and CNY 0.95in 2018. Reiterate BUY.
Potential Risks: elemental fertilizer price fluctuation, slower-than-expected progress inexpanding agricultural services. | agronomy |

I have now achieved my dearest dream: to produce my own wine on a small property using organic agriculture and following the principles of biodynamics.
Domaine de la Jument Rousse was
born in 2006.
Covering just 6 hectares of vines on a plateau at 250m above sea level in the middle of the wild garrigue, it is located behind the Carla chapel, above the hill overlooking the Abbey of Lagrasse.
The name jument rousse,
or chestnut mare, is a reference to the late “Libellule”,
my draught horse with whom I started working the soil, and also to the novel
by Marcel Aymé La Jument Verte.
There are four different wines in my range; I admit that the pleasure of winemaking is what makes my work worthwhile.
It only remains for me to wish you “Bonne dégustation” - Enjoy the tasting! | agronomy |

CEO Yasunobu is super hip and friendly, but yes, he is the 15th generation of this brewery. His sake, made from ancient rice and not polished too much, has a strong earthy aroma that goes well with the fermented foods traditionally eaten in the region. However, it does not feel heavy due to the action of the acidity. Working together with young farmers, he hopes to pass on the pride of this region to the next generation. "That's why we do rice farming and harvesting with high school students" he said. This hipster brewery is cool to visit in person.

“Once research into the history of the Society of Nematologists began, it was discovered that the decisions which shaped the formation and direction of the Society were affected by the events that took place in Nematology and agriculture during specific decades from the 1950’s until the present.

Georgia’s climate and soil have contributed to the nation’s rich food culture, which has also made agriculture one of its most productive economic sectors in history. However, in the 20th century, the urbanization process and the privatization crisis of the post-soviet era has significantly changed the nation’s structure in cities as well as in rural areas. Urbanization and globalization have removed the need and ability of a community’s agency in their food production, yet it also makes the food supply system highly dependent on transportation infrastructures and trade systems. As the urban area sprawls further to take over the nearby farmland, cities are becoming food deserts. On the other hand, these infrastructures also produce leftover space in the urban fabric, as well as leftover materials. The separation of urban space and farmland should not be permanent. Food is such a basic yet crucial part of people’s life. The memory of growing food is deeply rooted in our memories. RYB (Red/Yellow/Blue) intends to use this shared memory and dependency as a medium to propose a new intersection between urban and rural lifestyle – consuming and producing. RYB takes wheat as a symbol of Georgian food culture, which easily interrelate with all Georgian people. It aims to implement the different scales of urban farming to reclaim the leftover space and material inside a city and take food production landscape as an agency to generate a series of actor-network that integrates with the urban leftover resource, social interaction and food production. Eventually, it hints at a new intersection between food production and consumption in an urban situation. | agronomy |

East of the town of Napa, Coombsville Vineyard is cooled by the fog and breezes blowing off San Pablo Bay. The 65-acre site is planted to Bordeaux varietals on gently sloping terrain. The cooler climate allows for a nice long growing season and produces a fleshy, more opulent interpretation of the grape. Planted to clones 4 and 337 on 110R rootstock, the clusters here are smaller due to slightly distressed soils and lower precipitation totals in this section of Napa.
Napa Valley, Howell Mountain
East of Calistoga, Ink Grade stands atop the Vaca Range on the eastern side of Howell Mountain. The high elevation causes daytime temperatures to be cooler and evening temperatures to be slightly warmer than the Napa floor. Planted in 1990, Ink Grade stretches across 200 acres of terraced mountainous terrain. The site, planted to a quad trellis, ekes out between 2 and 2.5 tons per acre. The iron rich red clay and decomposed volcanic ash, are poor in nutrients and have difficulty retaining water. This combination stresses the vines to produce small berries with deeply structured spicy notes and robust tannins. This is one of the more technologically advanced sites, using “stress modules” to determine ripening and enables us to do multiple picks for optimal ripeness.
Lone Oak Vineyard
Santa Lucia Highlands, Monterey
This 146-acre vineyard is planted on an east-facing slope near the center of the Santa Lucia Highlands. The Chardonnay is a mix of Dijon clones and was planted nearly 20 years ago. Spacing is 6’ x 6’ and the vines are planted on 5C and 101-14 rootstocks in Chualar Loam soils with a bit of clay that helps retain warmth during the brisk mornings and chilly evening winds off Monterey Bay. Chardonnays created from Lone Oak emphasize racy acidity, clean pear and apple flavors and a depth found only with older vines like these. | agronomy |

Our Syrah is grown at our Five Sisters Estate Vineyard located just to the west of the winery, perched on a small, 18-acre hillside that offers commanding views of the Carneros wetlands. It is ideally situated for growing world-class cool climate Syrah. The grapes receive cooling benefits from morning fog and afternoon breezes from the nearby Pacific Ocean and San Pablo Bay. During the mid-day, temperatures warm up providing the grapes with excellent exposure. This unique terroir creates a very long growing season. The rugged hillside is meticulously tended by hand (and sheep) and yields spectacular fruit year after year.
Our Los Carneros Syrah grapes were handpicked, destemmed without being crushed, and pumped to our fermentors. The must began to ferment with natural yeast within 48 hours of crushing. The wine was pumped-over three times a day to maximize fruit and color extraction. Fermentation was kept at moderately warm temperature and the must was pressed shortly after the wine had gone dry to achieve the desired amount of tannin and extract. The wine was racked once and then moved on to French oak with a medium-dark toast level for aging. | agronomy |

The first chicken came from an egg that was laid by a chicken like creature. That is how evolution works, with small changes in genetic material leading to enhancements brought about by natural selection through the reproductive process. We can put that one to bed, but which came first, the apple or the pig?
I’ve often wondered why apples are so big and heavy. If there role is, as is the same with any fruiting body, to spread their seed then, by themselves, apples don’t seem to be a very good model. They are large and cumbersome and fall from the tree to the ground below. Any seedling would struggle to grow as it would be disadvantaged by the lack of light caused by the shadow of its parent tree. Unless the apple tree is on the top of a hill and the fruit can roll away then this wouldn’t work.
All living things have the same problem. How do you get your progeny to be far enough away from you so that they have a good chance in life and don’t rely upon the same resources that the parent does? Plants have come up with many solutions such as windborne seeds or burrs that stick to fur. Animals have it much easier as once they are up and running they can up and run to somewhere where competition is a little less fierce. But the heavy thump of an apple falling to the ground just doesn’t fit within this model.
Their solution of course is animal based. Apples are nice to eat. They attract animals that eat them, swallow the seeds inside which then pass through them and then have the chance of being deposited at some random location some distance from where they started. I’m not an expert in sylvanian ways but I’m thinking that this is a role that pigs or wild boars would have played. Other animals are available but I’m thinking that pigs have a big enough mouth to take on the challenge. Whether I’m right or wrong is neither here nor there it is the point that is important.
You see, there is a trade-off. The apple tree gets its seed spread far and wide while the pig grows fat on its plunder. But which came first? Surely the tree didn’t grow bigger and bigger fruit in the hope that it would attract some kindly creature. There is no way that the pig groped in the undergrowth in the hope that one day it would find something juicy to eat. Neither could have survived in advance of the other. Without a successful seed distribution method the apple tree would not prosper. Without adequate food supplies the pig could not flourish.
So which came first, the apple or the pig? The answer is of course neither. Both tree and animal came together. Their evolution is inextricably linked. They were co-created. As Stephen Covey says, it is a win win situation.
There’s a moral in there somewhere. | agronomy |

I was very grateful for that! The Seattle homeschool convention was great! Good attendance and a good turn-out for my workshop. I have one more homeschool convention in Billings, Montana this weekend and then I will be done for the year. I really enjoy doing them, but 8 is enough for one year!
My next project is to help get some great little readers I've discovered back in print. Right now they are only partially available in digital format. We hope to have them available in print by the end of the summer.
How does my garden grow? Well, my red petunias in the hanging pots are happily blooming away. I can't quite figure out why the purple and white ones aren't blooming yet. Hopefully they will soon. I've had a handful of sweet, ripe strawberries off my 3 strawberry plants that are growing in the wheelbarrow. The grape tomato plants aren't looking too great. Maybe they need some Miracle Grow. My prettiest flower right now is my Martha Washington geranium. I'll have to take some pictures soon. | agronomy |

Which flavor do you like best? Strawberry, chocolate or vanilla? Let’s choose vanilla!
Madagascar is one of the largest producers of vanilla in the world and is known for its high-quality vanilla sticks. Bourbon vanilla, which is grown in Madagascar, is particularly sought after for its unique taste and aroma. Vanilla is mainly grown in the Sava region in the north-east of Madagascar, especially in the town of Antalaha, which is known as the Vanilla Capital.
Vanilla plantations are cultivated by family farms and are an important export article of the country. The curious thing is that vanilla is a type of orchid and there are over 110 species of it. The vanilla beans are obtained from the flowers of the vanilla orchids, which have to be pollinated by hand to produce fruit. Pollination is a difficult process that requires a lot of time and patience, contributing to vanilla being one of the most expensive spices in the world.
Unfortunately the plantations also have to be guarded, as the precious vanilla is often the target of thieves. | agronomy |

The challenge: Precision is essential for optimal results in agriculture. It is important to know the optimal time for irrigation, considering the environmental conditions. Our challenge was to collect data about the plant’s environment, and to broadcast the data to a smartphone application.
Our professional solution: We developed a parameter monitoring system of the plant, which is battery activated and charged by a small solar cell. The system reports different data, such as humidity, temperature, fertilization levels, salinity and light intensity according to wavelength. In this manner, we can ensure that the plant receives the necessary conditions for its growth and operate the irrigation mechanism at the right time and only for the needed amounts.
Technical specifications: The electronic design is based on the CC2640 MCU, which is a BLE integrated processor by TI. We constructed a PCB circuit with 4 layers, assembled the components and performed board bring-up and testing. We also wrote embedded software using TI RTOS, in a Code Composer Studio IDE environment. | agronomy |

The President of the state-owned industrial holding company Sociedad Estatal de Participaciones Industriales (SEPI), Mr. Ramón Aguirre, held this morning a work meeting with the President of the regional Government of Extremadura, Mr. José Antonio Monago at the Conventual Santiaguista in Mérida, the head offices of the regional Government.
During this meeting, Mr. Ramón Aguirre informed Mr. José Antonio Monago about the important role played by Grupo SEPI in Extremadura and the impact which its investments and operations have on the economy of this region, thanks to its activities and the work carried out by a total of 2,270 employees from such companies as CORREOS, TRAGSA, RTVE, MERCASA, SODIEX, Agencia EFE, ENUSA or the Compañía Española de Tabaco en Rama (CETARSA) itself.
It is precisely regarding this last company which was the focus of the meeting, as the Chairpersons analyzed the future impact which the European norm and the tobacco multinationals on CETARSA and on the tobacco growers themselves, as well as the activity of the workplaces which the Company has in this region, and specifically, in the municipalities of Navalmoral de la Mata, Talayuela, Jaraiz de la Vera, Jarandilla de la Vera and Coria.
At the same time, and in a detailed way, Mr. Aguirre informed the regional President about the problems which might generate the review of the aids generated by the Common Agricultural Policy and its potential impact on tobacco growers’ income, studying the set up of measures for setting off paid by the chapter on agrarian and environmental aids included in the Rural Development Regulation.
Another of the issues seen with Mr. José Antonio Monago was the historical series which shows the evolution of the volumes and average prices during the last 3-year period 2011-2013 (more information). Mr. Aguirre has highlighted the reality of the prices which set the multinationals’ buyers and their key influence on the maximum recommended price, in order to avoid the negative effects which result from the Dollar/Euro exchange rate and from the market share of the sales of cigarettes which multinationals have in Spain, which in the case of Italy and Greece has translated into an unwanted equation of raising prices and lowering volumes.
Furthermore, he made a detailed review about the fall in consumption and of the restrictive norms which deepen even more the downward trend of the cigarette market, without forgetting the effects of the tax system and the tensions brought about by tobacco contraband.
Finally, both Chairpersons gave a detailed breakdown about the activity carried out by Grupo SEPI in Extremadura, pointing out the projects which MERCASA has in Badajoz, and the significant role which companies such as SODIEX and TRAGSA play in the region.

GARLIC DEWORMING OF SHEEP
SARE is an abbreviation for Sustainable Agriculture Research, Education and is an arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Background: Organic and non organic sheep are having increasing difficulty with eliminating worms because the pharmaceuticals used for deworming are becoming less and less effective due to worms developing immunity.
Today, more and more sheepmen are discovering the all natural application of garlic juice. In the attached study only 1/6 of an ounce of garlic juice (with water added to make one ounce dose) was used 6 times during the year to bring worms in sheep under control.
The garlic juice used was Garlic Barrier and is available to sheep and goat owners through our web site.

Updated: Dec 5, 2019
Due to the federal government classifying both hemp and marijuana in the same category of drugs, many people confuse these two things as being the same. There are many differences between the two plants in the way that they grow, their chemical makeup and their uses. Getting a better understanding of the difference between these two plants will open our minds up to a world of possibilities for their uses both medically and at home.
Hemp is high in CBD and low in THC so it is not designed to get you high, but it can still have significant health benefits for people with various disorders like seizures or others that can be controlled with CBD. It is still calming so many people have begun to smoke it recreationally since the federal government allowed hemp to have its Schedule 1 drug classification removed. Marijuana has CBD in it as well, so it also can positively contribute to patients of various disorders. However, it is high in THC and with the way that grow operations manipulate and enhance the plant, the levels can get pretty high these days. THC is a psychoactive chemical and that is what makes you feel high. Since hemp only maintains high levels of CBD, it will not have the same impact on your mental states that marijuana would have.
The chemical makeup of hemp and marijuana is not where these differences end. Marijuana is a plant that requires a lot of care and attention to grow. It will need to cultivated in a controlled environment, which is why grow operations have enclosed spaces for their plants rather than large farms in rural areas as you would have for normal crops. Hemp does not require that same level of control and it is a crop that can survive in many different climates. This means that hemp is a versatile plant and since it is so easy to grow, its benefits can be realized by a wider range of people. Marijuana’s need for close control means that it is more expensive and technical to cultivate and the number of people able to produce it is limited.
Not only do these plants grow differently and impact our bodies differently, but they also look different when they mature. Marijuana has a distinctive shape to its leaves and the buds are dense and covered in crystals, if you grow it the right way. Hemp has skinnier leaves and the buds and leaves are heavy at the top of the plant with very few branches growing below it. When the plants are grown, marijuana needs a lot of attention per plant, so they need to be spaced out in some way so that each plant can have that unique focus of the grower and the lights in the room. Hemp can grow on its own like a weed would, so these plants can be cultivated much closer together so that a larger number of plants can grow at the
same time. This is, again, why hemp can be grown out in a field in mass quantities and marijuana needs to be indoors in a well-ordered space.
The differences in use are also stark between hemp and marijuana, although both have been extensively researched for their medical benefits. Given the drug classification, it has taken time for sufficient research to be done on the medical benefits, but in recent years there has been overwhelming evidence that marijuana and hemp can be used to treat various disorders with seizures. Marijuana’s THC also has the effect of making people hungry which has been used by cancer patients who lose their appetite during chemotherapy treatments. Many patients have said that the marijuana is the only thing that helps them eat and actually keep their meals down without any nausea. The ability to eat during chemotherapy helps the body gain more strength to fight the disease so the benefit is holistic.
Hemp has been used in many nonmedical ways as well, and marijuana does not have this same type of reach. Hemp as a fiber has incredible strength and durability so it can be used to make clothes or bags or luggage that last much longer than cotton or other fibers that may be more common. Given how durable it is, it can be used to reduce the amount of plastic that we use as well. Hemp seeds have also been proven to be great for a healthy diet. It can add protein without red meat, the seeds have healthy fats and are also high in vitamin E and various minerals like zinc and iron. Hemp can also benefit us in oil form and be used to cook in a healthy way. The same oil can be used in lotions and soaps and other cleaning items without the need for as many harsh chemicals. Since hemp is so high in vitamin E, it will
have a much better effect on the skin of our hands when we use it to clean.
Not all plants are created equally, but they all have their own pluses and minuses. Given the
dependence on medications in today’s world and the amount of pollution in the world from plastic, we are in serious need of more plants that will have a healthier impact on our daily lives. In order for us to fully realize the potential of both hemp and marijuana, we have to understand what exactly they are. Once we lay that foundation then we can begin removing the stigma involved with both plants and get to building a greener and better functioning world with the help of both hemp and marijuana. | agronomy |

There are micro-organism that help the environment maintain balance, but there are some which can prove harmful. Look for organic pesticides instead that won’t harm the plant.
It really depends on your local regulation. Some areas like Oregon cannot use certain pesticides and must use organic methods.
No, don’t use pesticide.
Use pesticides = lose crop. You must follow local protocal. If you use the wrong agents, come testing time you’ll have a crop you can’t sell due to how you grew it.
Yes, but always remember to take the necessary precaution. | agronomy |

Alaska is a very cold state as it is near the polar region of the northern hemisphere. The cold climate cannot allow for all year growing of crops. The inhabitants of this region find it hard to cope with the situation of having to go through seasons which they cannot produce vegetables of their own. Recent fresh hydroponic lettuce in Alaska developments have seen elimination of this problem since now there is a new way of doing things, hydroponic.
Hydroponic is a new development in agriculture and can also be referred to as aquiculture. It is the practice of growing plants especially vegetables on water whereby the water acts as a reservoir of the nutrients used by the plant hence acting like the soil. This is a scientific practice since mineral requirements of the plant are dissolved in the right quantity and the plants absorbs them as if they were in the soil without drying up.
With this production, the region does not buy from outside any more since it produces their own. There are many factors which made it possible for the practice to be successful. The need to have used this practice and the importance of the same are discussed herein as below.
The region was is not conducive for the normal growing of crops for many reasons. The topography of the extensive areas in this state cannot allow for fresh hydroponic lettuce in Alaska growth of these crops. The weather also is usually very cold making it impossible for luctuca sativa to mature. Due to this reason no production of this vegetable which is consumed by many would be produced.
The best part of this practice is that since it had raised issues over the quality of the plants produced, there was an answer to that. Researchers took an interest to compare the terrestrial produce with the soil-less one. It revealed that the quality of both these plants is the same. This even made more to be on demand since this type of agricultural production is the same regardless of whether the soil is used or not.
The plants grown under the greenhouse environment and those that are under the normal conditions all are up to standard and fine with human body. Many people tend to have a mentality that crops grown in the greenhouse are harmful for human consumption. This is a myth to the society that they should do away with. Greenhouse should be encouraged by all the governments because their products are much healthier than those growing in an open natural environment.
Since the region can produce its own, it is able to meet the consumers while the plant is still fresh. If they were to buy from other states, the vegetables could spoil on the way and lose the quality they have. Keep in mind the plant is perishable, and so it would lose freshness even during transportation.
Fresh hydroponic lettuce in Alaska is therefore important. It is making of a possibility where there is impossibility. Without it, it would have not been possible to produce what the state is able to produce. Fortunately researchers have resolved the question whether this production is quality enough to be consumed. The result is that both produce from soil and aquiculture are of same quality.

With the enhancing need for food manufacturing, the agriculture sector is constantly looking for innovative options to improve performance while reducing the ecological impact. Greenhouse automation offers an encouraging strategy to achieve these objectives.
One of the crucial advantages of greenhouse automation is the specific control it offers over ecological aspects such as temperature level, humidity, and also illumination. Automated systems make use of sensing units, actuators, and also computer system formulas to check and change these variables in real-time. This degree of precision guarantees ideal expanding problems for plants, leading to greater returns and also remarkable crop high quality.
Moreover, greenhouse automation lowers the dependence on manual work, making it a cost-effective option for growers. Hand-operated jobs such as watering, fertilizing, as well as bug control can be automated, liberating labor resources and also allowing farmers to focus on more critical elements of crop management. This not only boosts effectiveness but additionally reduces the risk of human error.
Another considerable advantage of greenhouse automation is its possible to save sources as well as advertise sustainability. By carefully regulating water as well as nutrient use, automated systems assist to reduce waste as well as protect against overconsumption. In addition, progressed tracking systems can find early signs of plant stress or illness, allowing prompt treatment and minimizing the need for chemical therapies.
Along with these benefits, greenhouse automation additionally makes it possible for farmers to accumulate as well as analyze large quantities of data relating to plant development as well as environmental conditions. This information can be made use of to optimize farming practices, make notified choices, as well as even predict future returns. With the arrival of artificial intelligence and artificial intelligence, automated systems are coming to be increasingly innovative and capable of supplying workable insights.
In conclusion, greenhouse automation is forming the future of sustainable agriculture. By giving exact control over ecological conditions, reducing labor needs, preserving sources, and allowing data-driven decision-making, automated systems use countless advantages to farmers. As the need for food continues to increase, implementing greenhouse automation becomes not simply a choice yet a need to fulfill global farming difficulties while guaranteeing a lasting future for generations to find. | agronomy |

The development of nutritional abundance for so many of us in recent years is so extraordinary that we haven’t yet learned to deal with it. We are geared to scarcity and still harbour the myth of abundance and ecological balance, as described in the biblical stories of Paradise. That is why it is so difficult for us to keep our consumption in check. And that is also why we feel so guilty for the damage we are doing to our planet.
Hamburgers in Paradise is Louise O. Fresco’s magnum opus about the management of the earth in a time of unprecedented growth and globalisation. She takes the reader on a unique cultural journey through history and into the future of our food. With a pen which is both elucidating and delicate, she writes about the most diverse subjects, from the first loaf of bread to gen technology, from climate change to mass agriculture, from the hamburger to ‘slow food’. Hamburgers in Paradise is an educative, fascinating and richly illustrated story about food and nutrition, agriculture and the earth, and is accessible for the general reading public.
WINNER OF THE COMENIUS PRIZE 2014
Louise O. Fresco is one of the biggest experts worldwide in the field of agriculture and nutrition. She has been appointed as President of Wageningen University and Research Center in July last year, recently praised as number one university of the Netherlands. She is a columnist for NRC Handelsblad after years of experience with the United Nations, where she was director of research at the Agriculture Department of the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) in Rome.

It is the healer and restorer and resurrector, by which disease passes into health, age into youth, death into life. Without proper care for it we can have no community, because without proper care for it we can have no life.”
― Wendell Berry, The Unsettling of America: Culture and Agriculture
A couple of summers ago, I spent three weeks on Holy Isle, a small Scottish island owned entirely by a Buddhist community. Some people visit for a short course or retreat, normally for a week, while there are also long-term volunteers running the kitchens, gardens, and housekeeping. I was somewhere in between – a short term volunteer donating three hours a day to working in the gardens in exchange for a discount on my board and lodging.
There were many jobs that needed to be done in the several acres of garden, which would be shared out each day amongst the volunteers. I quickly became a specialist…. in shovelling pony poo. Ah, the glamour!
There is a small group of wild Eriskay ponies living on the island, descended from domestic animals, and their daily offerings are a rich source of nourishment for the vegetable beds. So each morning I would collect a wheelbarrow and a spade, and set out in search of manurish goodness. It’s really not as gross as it sounds – really just recycled grass, and not at all offensive. Once I’d exhausted the supply of poo within wheelbarrowing distance of the gardens, I’d collect seaweed from the rocky shore, or bracken from the hillsides. There were also separate compost heaps for the garden scraps, encased in chicken wire cages to keep rats away.
The end result of these various additions, suitably rotted down, was a rich, nutritious soil supplement, perfect for growing delicious vegetables. What we tend to rather disrespectfully call soil (UK), or dirt (US), is actually a complex ecosystem unto itself. It is estimated that a single teaspoon (1 gram) of rich garden soil can hold up to one billion bacteria, several yards of fungal filaments, several thousand protozoa, and scores of nematodes. Look out at your back garden, and marvel!
For many centuries, farmers knew that soil health was vital. Crop rotation ensured that nutrients were returned to the soil, and mitigated the build-up of pathogens and pests (see last week’s blog post on pesticides). But then we entered the modern era, and farming, like so many other areas of human activity, became about more, more, more, and faster, faster, faster. Cue artificial fertilisers.
Artificial fertilisers are not all bad. I’d like to make that clear at the start. The Haber process led to the Green Revolution, which increased the number of humans that could be fed from 1 hectare of land (2.47 acres) from 1.9 to 4.3. Millions have been lifted out of starvation over the last 40 years. Farmers working the poor soils in parts of Africa wouldn’t be able to feed their families without artificial fertilisers.
But there is a price to pay. Only 17% of the nitrogen used in fertilisers ends up in our food; the rest ends up in soil and water. And unfortunately nitrogen is also a great fertiliser for algae and bacteria. Fertiliser that ends up in lakes and the ocean causes massive blooms of algae, which use up the oxygen dissolved in the water, suffocating other species and creating dead zones. Right now, the dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico is hitting the headlines, expected to expand to over 8,000 square miles this summer, fuelled by the Midwest floods that washed fertilizer into the Mississippi River, which then disgorged it into the Gulf. Chesapeake Bay has another large dead zone. Around the world, 405 dead zones have been identified, affecting an area of 95,000 square miles, about the size of New Zealand.
Further, producing fertilisers pollutes the atmosphere with greenhouse gases. The Haber reaction requires burning fossil fuels, which emit carbon dioxide. And other potent greenhouse gases, including nitrous oxide, are also released while making and using fertiliser.
So, can we have the best of both worlds – feed all the human mouths without damaging the soil and killing the oceans?
According to this BBC article:
“The truth is that it would be impossible to feed a growing global population using purely organic farming methods. And because organic farming is relatively inefficient (yields are on average 25% lower) compared to modern technological methods, vast new tracts of land would need to be used, which would further impact our forests and other ecological spaces.”
It turns out that different parts of the world need different solutions. African farmers need access to synthetic fertilisers if they are going to catch up with the rest of the world in crop production, as the soil they work with is so poor. But in Africa, as everywhere else, farmers should be encouraged to “micro-dose” their crops with exactly the right amount of fertilizer, which is more efficient financially, and minimises the problem of agricultural run-off creating dead zones.
In the US, Department of Agriculture (USDA) researcher Rick Haney advocates natural methods such as ploughing less, growing cover crops, and using biological controls to keep pests in check. He says:
“We were applying fertilizers and getting these big yields, so that system seemed to be working — until we began seeing, for example, the dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico [created by algal blooms triggered by high nitrogen levels from fertilizer], and we started wondering if this was really working right. Are we putting on too much fertilizer? And the answer is, “Yes we are.” It’s like instead of feeding your children a balanced diet, let’s just feed them vitamins. That’s not going to work, is it?”
He also sees a win-win in using cover crops, old-style, to not only enrich the soil but also to sequester carbon as stipulated in the Paris Accord:
“We should never have soil bare — ever. Right now, farmers leave their fields bare for much of the year. If they would only plant a diverse, multi-species cover crop, just think of the carbon that we could sequester out of the atmosphere and put into the soil on the 150 million acres of corn and wheat land in this country. We could pull a phenomenal amount of carbon back into the soil, which is where it is supposed to be.”
At the domestic, individual level, what can we do?
We can buy organic. The UK’s Soil Association, in accordance with EU law (at least until Brexit), requires that certified organic food has been grown with no artificial fertilizers. It was a bit harder to make out what the USDA policy is, although it does state that “most” artificial fertilizers are prohibited.
We can choose to use only organic fertilizers on our gardens. If you don’t happen to have access to pony poo and seaweed, you can still use compost from garden waste, leaves, grass clippings, teabags, and even paper and cardboard. (Good tips from the Eden Project.)
We can convert lawns into flower borders or vegetable beds. Lawns can be intensive in terms of watering, mowing, and fertilizing, and they are food deserts for bees and other nectar-seeking insects. (12 reasons to get rid of your lawn here.)
In a couple of weeks I’m off to Schumacher College to do a course on Gardening as a Spiritual Practice. It may not include my particular specialisation of shoveling pony poo, but I’m sure I will learn a lot. I will report back in due course! | agronomy |

There has been much “buzz” lately about the importance of creating habitats for bees and pollinating insects. When the bee population declines, so does the ability to produce the fruits and vegetables that we eat. We need our bees to take the “sting” out of hunger. They are our busy friends who spread the pollen from plant to plant, insuring that we go on eating.
Here are three tips for things that you can do to make friends with the bees in your neighborhood while also improving your curb appeal…
Tip #1 Plant bee friendly flowers
Flowers will beautify your landscape and provide plenty of pollen for the bees. If you don’t have a lot of land, small flowering plants can be placed in window boxes and borders around your home. Remember to plant different types of flowers which bloom throughout the growing season. The bees and insects will have something to feed upon for the entire season.
Here are some ideas for what to grow…
Spring: Try planting crocus, hyacinth, borage, calendula, and wild lilac.
Summer: Bees love to feast on bee balm, cosmos, echinacea, snapdragons, foxglove, and hosta.
Fall: Zinnias, sedum, asters, witch hazel and goldenrod will tempt late season foragers.
Tip #2 Plant flowering fruit trees
Fruit trees are ideal for bees. They love to help you produce delicious fruit by flying from blossom to blossom and spreading the pollen around. Many fruit trees need to be planted in pairs (at a minimum) in order to cross pollinate. Be sure to check on this with your nursery before purchasing. If you have a bit of land or a longer driveway that you would like to line with trees, consider the option of fruit trees or bushes. You will have gorgeous flowers in the spring and delicious fruit in the fall.
Tip #3 Skip the pesticide
One of the major causes that scientists site for the dwindling bee population is the use of pesticides. To keep your bee friends happy and healthy… and also to maintain your own personal health, refrain from using toxic pesticides on your lawn, flowers and fruit trees whenever possible. You can research companion planting if you want to know how to naturally repel the invasive insects and diseases that could affect your garden without the use of pesticides.
Just imagine the appeal of walking barefoot in your pesticide free lawn, smelling the amazing aroma of your beautiful flower garden, while eating a piece of fruit that your bee friends made possible for you to grow!

Provinces also provide stimulations. Purchase of tractors and farming machinery are currently being stimulated. Province is sub-financing up to 50% funds. Austria received over 4 billion euros from EU in the period from 2007 to 2013 for incentivizing agriculture and provided four billions more, amounting stimulations for Austrian agriculture to over 8 billion euros in that period!
The head of the representative office of the Serbian Chamber of Commerce (PKS) Office in Austria, Vera Vidović has been living and working in Austria for 25 years. She is quite familiar with economic situation of this EU member and she often stresses, when she talks to our entrepreneurs visiting Austria or at meetings here in Serbia, that we should apply many elements which made Austrian economy and agriculture one of the most developed. Especially in agricultural sector since Austrians annually collect 4 billion euros from agriculture.
– Austria is highly developed country where, according to Austrian statistics data for 2012, almost 4 billion euros or 1.4% GDP is collected in primary sector – agriculture, forest and fishing industries. Austrian agriculture is continuously growing in accordance with global market requests along with increased demand for ecologically produced agricultural products – Vera Vidović states for Biznis magazine.
However, she stresses that Austrian agriculture is not growing by itself. Its development is managed by the state which, in accordance with measures of EU policy and its active effect on their adoption, regulations and financial support, directs its development. Since Austria joined EU in 1995, the development of agriculture has been intensified and complete agriculture attained a new quality: number of farmsteads decreased (from 239,000 to 173,000) but the size of farmsteads increased (from 15.3 to 19.5 acres), number of cattle decreased, but the production of milk increased, Vera Vidović explains.

On October 16, 2014, a new draft of the intellectual property chapter of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) was leaked. The TPP is a free trade agreement currently being negotiated in secret between the governments of Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, United States, and Vietnam. The intellectual property chapter released in October contains a plant-related intellectual property provision proposed by the United States and Japan that could pose a serious threat to food security within the lower-income parties to the TPP. Intellectual property rights (IPRs) on plants endow plant breeders and seed manufacturers with varying degrees of control over the propagating materials (seeds, tissue cultures, cuttings) and sometimes harvested materials (fruits, foliage, flowers) of any new plant variety they create.
The newly released chapter reveals that the TPP will require signatories to make patents on plants or plant-related inventions available as well as accede to the 1991 version of the International Convention for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (1991 UPOV). Currently, most nations, including the majority of parties negotiating the TPP, set their own plant protection policies without interference from international authorities. Most nations have not acceded to the 1991 UPOV, and only a handful offer patents on plants or plant-related inventions. If implemented, the new provisions of the TPP would force many of the negotiating parties—in particular, the less wealthy states—to dramatically alter their domestic laws. For example, the new TPP language will prohibit farmers from saving and exchanging many varieties of seeds—a practice vital to the livelihood and welfare of traditional farming communities—and most likely increase multinational control of the farming industry in TPP nations. This short piece examines the TPP’s new plant-related language and its implications for the human right to food within TPP signatory nations.
II. The TPP’s Provision on Plant-Related Intellectual Property
Article QQ.E.1 of the TPP’s chapter on intellectual property outlines the scope of patentability under the agreement. The United States and Japan have proposed a provision reading: “each Party shall make patents available for inventions for plants and animals.” Alternatively, Japan and the United States propose the language: “[c]onsistent with paragraph 1, each Party confirms that it makes available patents for plant-related inventions,” with a footnote explaining that “[f]or greater certainty, no Party shall be required to make patents available for plant varieties that are protectable in that Party under the International Convention for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV Convention).” The other parties to the TPP oppose this language and instead propose that plants be listed among the materials a party may exclude from patentability, i.e., among the list of materials for which the parties do not have to offer patent protection. Furthermore, article QQ.A.8.1(c) provides that all parties to the TPP must accede to the 1991 UPOV. Therefore, under the proposals from the U.S. and Japan, the TPP would force the negotiating parties to either make patents on plants available in addition to protecting plant varieties under the 1991 UPOV or make patents available for plant-related inventions in addition to protecting plant varieties under the 1991 UPOV. Currently, six of the twelve TPP signatories have not acceded to the 1991 UPOV, and only three parties make plant patents available, as the table below demonstrates.
III. Patents on Plant-Related Inventions
A patent grants its holder the right to exclude all others from manufacturing, using, or selling the product on which the patent was granted. A plant patent can be described as a patent on a plant as a whole, whereas a patent on a plant-related invention would be a patent on a particular aspect or feature of a plant, such one of its genes. Some patent systems allow individuals to obtain patents on both plants and features of those plants. For example, the seed manufacturer Monsanto inserted an herbicide-resistant gene into the genome of a soybean plant, enabling that soybean plant to resist a certain type of herbicide. Monsanto was able to obtain patent protection on both the herbicide-resistant gene and the soybean plant into which it was inserted in United States, which offers patent protection on plants and plant-related inventions. The patent on the plant excludes others from the use and sale of the pesticide-resistant plant; the patent on the gene (the plant-related invention) excludes others from the use and sale of any organism containing that gene.
IV. 1991 UPOV
The International Convention for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV) requires its signatories to provide plant variety protection to breeders for the creation or discovery of any plant that is novel, distinct, homogenous, and stable. Under this agreement, breeders and multinational seed manufactures can obtain exclusive rights over the propagating materials of plants they create, whether these plants were bred through traditional cross-breeding techniques (more common among farmers in the developing world) or genetic engineering. The 1991 UPOV also specifies that certain discovered plant varieties qualify for protection. These exclusive rights are known as breeders’ rights.
Once a breeder or seed manufacturer has obtained plant variety protection on a plant, the 1991 UPOV allows this rights holder to exclude all others from producing or reproducing the protected plant, offering that plant for sale, and exporting or importing the plant. Importantly, these exclusive rights apply not only to the plant’s propagating materials, but also to its harvested materials in certain circumstances. This provision enables breeders to gain greater control over trade in processed foods, ornamentals, and other high-value commodities. Finally, the 1991 UPOV permits member states to obtain both a breeders’ right and a patent on a particular variety of plant.
Nevertheless, the 1991 UPOV does provide for two important exceptions to the exclusive rights granted to breeders and seed manufacturers. First, Article 15(1)(ii) requires member states to allow breeders to use and experiment with protected plant varieties for the purpose of creating and marketing new varieties. This provision preserves farmers’ ability to create new beneficial crops, therein maintaining and enhancing biodiversity. Second, Article 15(1)(i) allows farmers to plant the seeds of protected plant varieties on their land for noncommercial purposes without the breeders’ prior authorization. However, this privilege does not permit farmers to sell or exchange seeds with other farmers for propagating purposes. Therefore, this privilege only protects a farmer’s right to use protected plants as food source for himself and his family; it does not enable a farmer to sell or trade a protected variety to others.
These two exceptions render the 1991 UPOV significantly less restrictive than patent protection, which does not permit exceptions for experimentation or personal consumption. Therefore, the TPP’s real significance with respect to plants lies in its new requirement of patent protection on plants or plant-related inventions.
V. Implications of Heightened Plant-Related Intellectual Property Rights for the Protection of the Human Right to Food
Article 11 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights and Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights protect the right to food. Article 11 further provides that all people have the right “[t]o improve methods of production, conservation and distribution of food by making full use of technical and scientific knowledge, . . . by developing or reforming agrarian systems in such a way as to achieve the most efficient development and utilization of natural resources.” Therefore, critically, this covenant not only guarantees the right to food, but also to methods of food production.
Worldwide, at least 1.5 billion individuals depend on small-scale farming for their livelihoods. For such farmers, saving, selling, and exchanging seed in informal markets is pervasive and essential to the viability of their farming practices. Often accounting for 98% of seed supply in developing nations, informal seed-trading systems enable farmers to access a stock of different plant genes. These supplies of seed varieties are crucial to the improvement and conservation of traditional varieties that are well adapted to local environments. Accordingly, these informal seed supply systems play “a fundamental role in ensuring household food security.”
Implementation of the 1991 UPOV and/or plant patents (no matter if they are on plants or plant-related inventions) will enable breeders and multinational seed manufacturers to remove many previously unprotected varieties of plants from the public domain and bar exchange of these varieties on informal seed markets, greatly impacting the breadth of seeds available in these markets. Because plant patents as well as 1991 UPOV prevent farmers from selling and exchanging protected seeds, such IPR provisions prevent farmers from cultivating and selling improved crops that have been granted protection. As a recent report found, “[f]rom a human rights perspective, restrictions on the use, exchange and sale of protected seeds could adversely affect the right to food, as seeds might become either more costly or harder to access. These restrictions could also affect other human rights, by reducing the amount of household income which is available for food, healthcare or education.” The Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food further warned that “[t]he oligopolistic structure of [the breeders’] market may result in poor farmers being deprived of access to seeds[,] productive resources essential for their livelihoods, and it could raise the price of food, thus making food less affordable for the poorest.” Accordingly, the U.S. and Japan’s plant-related intellectual property provision could threaten the right to food in Pacific-rim nations through the disruption it would cause to informal seed markets and traditional farming practices.
The typical response to this criticism of plant-related intellectual property rights is that farmers are not required to purchase protected seed varieties just because they are available. As the Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food has explained, however, this contention “presupposes that farmers have real alternatives to acquiring their seed from the commercial system.” Unfortunately, “the coexistence between farmers’ seed systems — operating at local or community levels between farmers, and mostly informal — and commercial seed systems is sometimes problematic. . . . Farmers often receive commercial varieties as part of a package that includes credit (often vouchers), seed, fertilizer and pesticide. In many cases, acceptance of such packages is the only way farmers can access credit in rural areas. They need to accept the whole package in order to do so.” Thus, governmental involvement in seed and fertilizer distribution complicates the seed supply system such that avoidance of commercial seed varieties is often infeasible.
Increased intellectual property protection of plant varieties may also skew incentives in the seed industry in ways that reduce genetic diversity among plants, causing harm to developing nations. Plant variety protection does not encourage breeding related to minor crops with small markets “because the likelihood of good returns on breeders’ research investment is small even with the legal protection provided by [plant variety protection].” Instead, intellectual property rights on plant varieties create incentives for breeding major crops with significant commercial potential. This trend is already visible: very little research has been directed towards developing new varieties of foods important in the developing world, such as tropical maize, sorghum, millet, banana, cassava, groundnut, oilseed, potato or sweet potato. Accordingly, implementation of the 1991 UPOV and a system of plant patents in TPP nations may further reorient crop development towards the needs of farmers in rich countries at the expense of farmers in developing countries.
The UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food has decried the increasing pressure on low- and middle-income countries to adopt national legislation that increases intellectual property protection on plants. More specifically, he has criticized free trade agreements that require the introduction of patent protection for plants or legislation implementing the 1991 UPOV. A recent report from a network of NGOs, including the Third World Network and the Berne Declaration, echoed this criticism, noting that governments in industrialized nations regularly pressure developing countries into introducing stringent intellectual property protection for plants.
The TPP’s current provision on plant intellectual property rights is not only an example of that mounting pressure, but also, in and of itself, would serve to augment it. In requiring parties to implement the 1991 UPOV Agreement and make plant patents available, the TPP further normalizes the pressure on developing nations to jeopardize farmers’ rights and food security in favor of unclear gains in biotechnical research and development. Ascension to the 1991 UPOV will force many TPP parties to trade away the food security of their populations for the benefit of breeders—primarily large multinational corporations.

The local forest development cooperative, ‘Qaabatoo Tokkoffaa’, is one of OFLP supported CBOs that have accomplished an exemplary Afforestation/Reforestation activity. It is based in Fugo Serda kebele ,Becho wereda of EAB zone. It has 91 members with 22 of them female.
Members of the cooperative have successfully reforested 4.1 hectares of degraded land in their locality. In so doing, they have planted and nurtured over 12,000 trees since the CBO was established in 2019. The area has now been, changed into forest. As a result, ‘Qaabatoo Tokkoffaa’ has succeeded to be one of the CBOs in the wereda that have benefitted OFLP’s livelihood support grant. Accordingly, its members have received 125,000 birr that has enabled them to engage in animal fattening.
Youth Desalegn Arega is chairman of the cooperative. He says, he and members of his cooperative are so glad to receive the livelihood grant as this would significantly help them improve the living and further strengthen their activity.
He also explains their plan to uphold their income:
‘‘We are so motivated to work harder and further scale up our capital so as to improve the livelihood of CBO members. We are, hence planning to intensify our income by increasing the number of oxen and starting milk and honey production. Also, we want to grow spices in the forest.’’ | agronomy |

My family comes from a small village in the Konkan area of coastal western India, and we traditionally have a growing season of 4 months coinciding with the monsoon. Paddy is the staple crop. After the rice is harvested in September, the land is allowed to lie fallow till April-May. However, right after the crop is harvested, the fields are burned in controlled fires to clear any remains of the rice stalks on the ground or any weeds that might have lodged themselves in the field. The ash is later used as a natural fertilizer. However, as in the case of North American Indians, the farmers in the Konkan are aware that a profusion of (in this case, unwanted) grasses and shrubs begin to shoot up soon after the fires. The farmers deal with this by making a 'contract' with the dhangars, a nomadic tribe of goat- and sheep-herders. The farmers allow the dhangars to live and trespass on their fields and lands, in return for which the goats and sheep of the tribe graze on the succulent new grasses. This means that the unwanted weeds and grasses are controlled without any expense to the farmer, while the dhangars are able to perpetuate their herds. It is a win-win situation for everyone. | agronomy |

Growing your own herbs.
Authentic 22nd Dec, 2020
As many of us are going green, or becoming more environmentally conscious, people are starting looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint and use of plastic. One way of doing this is growing your own. This leads to less miles on the clock in going to the supermarket and no plastic packaging, plus homegrown tastes great.
Not everyone has the space to grow their own fruit and vegetables however, particularly in a flat, or if you don’t have a garden. That isn’t a problem with herbs that can be grown in tiny spaces on windowsills, plus they are a much easier introduction to going green.
Whether you love rosemary with your chicken, basil and thyme in your ratatouille, or a cup of mint tea, growing your own herbs can add real flavour to your cooking. Follow these simple tips and you’ll be cooking up a storm in no time.
Anyone can grow herbs, from novice to gardening guru, seriously, even if you ‘always kill plants’! To start the easy way, look in your supermarket vegetable sections for a mini pot of your favourite herb/s. Then follow the tips and tricks below and never look back.
The golden rule is do not overwater. That’s why most indoor plants die. Avoid this trap by pressing your fingers to the soil, if it sticks to your fingers/feels really wet, the plant doesn’t need watering (tip 3 below helps with this).
If you’re not sure, you’ll know a plant has been overwatered when the soil starts to go green. That’s algae, if this happens don’t panic. It will only be the top layer, just remove the green soil, replace it with new compost and give it the tiniest splash of water.
On the other side of the coin, if the soil goes grey or cracks and dries out completely, you are under watering the plant. Just follow the tips below and you’ll be fine.
Use a pot with a hole/holes in the bottom and put in a shallow dish:
- This stops water leaking everywhere.
- It stops overwatering – never leave any water standing in the dish, the plant should absorb it all. If it doesn’t pour it away and don’t water again until the soil feels fairly dry. This keeps water draining and also stops roots from rotting.
Feed the soil:
Plants outside get nutrients from the earth, indoor plants don’t. You can buy specialist fertiliser but liquid tomato plant food works on most herbs and is easy to find in supermarkets. Just add to water (instructions will be on the bottle) and use once a month.
Most plants need direct sunlight – pop them next to a window. Try to avoid putting them above a radiator as this will dry out the soil and roots.
Watch out for bugs:
The most likely culprits are aphids (blackfly/greenfly), you can’t miss them flying around your plant. Just thoroughly spray the plant with lukewarm, soapy water and put outdoors for 2-5 days, re-spraying daily until they have gone (don’t leave out overnight). You also need to kill the one’s in the house with flypaper/spray etc. The little monsters usually come if the plant isn’t getting enough ventilation so you may need to move it/open a window.
Finally, don’t be afraid of cutting off the leaves and cooking with them, more will grow back, faster in Spring/Summer, slowing down in Autumn/Winter.
A Detailed Breakdown For 4 Popular Herbs:
Basil & Mint
Grows well in full sun and part shade. Most windowsills would work.
- Needs 3-4 hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Water fairly frequently, especially the mint – check the soil a few times a week, daily in warm weather and make sure it stays moist, but not wet, at all times.
- Harvesting – basil and mint will grow Spring-Autumn, die back a little in winter and come back the following year, plus you can freeze the leaves to use year round. Rinse in cold water, shake dry, chop up and pop in an ice cube tray, add water and freeze.
Rosemary & Thyme
Put in a warm place; south facing window sills, conservatories and French windows work well.
- Needs 6 hours of direct sunlight every day.
- Water sparingly – check twice a week but only water when the soil feels dry.
- Harvesting – these herbs are evergreen and grow year round. Leaves can be used fresh or dried.
So what are you waiting for, get green fingered and you’ll soon have fantastically flavoured food. As an added bonus, you can also feel that warm glow of knowing you are being environmentally friendly! | agronomy |

Alternatives for the Use of Glyphosate - Foresight Brief No. 010 October 2018
United Nations Environment Programme
Glyphosate is the most widely applied herbicide in agriculture and is often used in conjunction with crops that are genetically modified. Farmers’ dependency on glyphosate has grown steeply in recent years as it is easy to apply and relatively inexpensive. However, glyphosate is also increasingly controversial, with accumulating evidence that it can lead to a wide range of health and environmental impacts. Two countries have already banned glyphosate and others are considering to do the same. This Foresight Brief shows that there are alternative methods which can help to avoid the use of glyphosate as well as other harmful chemicals to kill weeds. The alternative methods offer the benefits of restoring soil fertility and increasing biodiversity in the environment. | agronomy |

Our Publisher, a Virginia State University alumna and hemp honey lover, had been looking forward to a trip to Randolph farm to learn more about hemp; but the Commonwealth's "State of Emergency" courtesy of The Rona, has delayed those plans. She reached out to Virginia State University's Department of Agriculture with a few of her questions, and is sharing their insight below.
Virginia State University's Department of Agriculture and Hemp Farming
Under Farm Bill 2014, Virginia State University got permission to conduct research on industrial hemp. VSU started hemp research on 2016 (hemp pilot project) and expanding its research and development activities since then. There is huge interest on industrial hemp among growers due to its multiple uses. Growers are attracted to this new crop and there is rapid growth in terms of number of growers and area under cultivation every year in Virginia.
Recently, big and state-of- the-art processing facility established in Virginia. Processing hemp is difficult and requires huge economic investments. It is a major hurdle for hemp industry and especially for small farmers/grower. With this, we hope it will help farmers for processing and marketing of the produces.
Rules and regulations for importing seeds from Europe and Canada have been changed and become more realistic. It will definitely help growers and suppliers to get seeds from foreign companies in time for planting. It has provided option/choice for farmers. Several land-grant and private universities in VA started research and extension activities on hemp and trying to develop suitable/profitable technologies for hemp research. More information and resources for hemp cultivation will be available in near future. It will definitely help farmers/growers for profitable hemp cultivation.
How will COVID-19 Impact the Future Hemp Harvest?
This pandemic situation can affect hemp harvest and industry. If this situation prevails for longer time, the impact would be much bigger than we think now. Planting season is coming and there would be huge shortage of seeds and planting materials. It would definitely reduce to planting area and increase risk for harvesting and processing due to limited transportation, limited movement and lock down in several parts of US.
How has Your Hemp Already Been Impacted?
Spring season is already here and planting time is coming. We do not have enough time left for hemp planting. We already felt the impact of this situation and it may affect our research and development activities this year at Virginia State University. We are importing hemp seed mainly from Europe (Italy is one of the major supplier of hemp seed). All world is struggling with COVID-19 and seed suppliers (with whom we are in touch) are not getting seeds in time due to this situation. So, we are not sure when will we get the seeds from them and there is no seed suppliers for these varieties in US.
Starting Your Seeds
Growing a Salsa Garden:
Tips for Hemp Gardeners:
There are some important points I want to share with hemp gardeners:
Selection of good variety/clones according to your objective.
Get seed materials/clones from reliable sources.
Industrial Hemp Trainings at Virginia State University:
Virginia State University has been conducting an annual hemp field day every year. It is really
a good platform for all stakeholders involved in hemp industry. Last year it was a huge success with large number of participants (around 480). During this program, several invited speakers provided valuable information about growing and processing/analysis of hemp. We also organized field visit at VSU Randolph Farm and had discussion/interaction with participant on various aspects of hemp research and variety selection/ planting dates. We were planning for hemp field day for this year too.
Due to current situation, it is in hold for now and we are carefully evaluating the situation. If situation improves, we will organize the field day during growing season. It would be a great opportunity for growers. If the situation prevails for longer, then we will try to reach out to growers and related people through virtual field tours during growing season through social media.

This species, native to southeast Asia, has already done damage to communities and several lanternflies have been seen around the Harriton campus. While causing no known harm to animals or humans, the spotted lanternflies threaten hundreds of thousands of jobs for those in the farming industry and are spreading across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Northern Virginia.
The spotted lanternfly feeds on the sap of trees, and they discharge a material known as Honeydew. This sticky substance creates conditions such that when many spotted lanternflies attack, the crops or tree inhabited can die. One of the reasons the spotted lanternfly is so hard to exterminate is because they can lay eggs anywhere, not just on plants. They can lay them in the tires of cars, for example, and each small egg cluster can have 30-50 eggs each.
Some pesticides can be used to stop the attack on a tree, but they are not always effective and can harm the tree as well. Both the U.S. and Pennsylvania Departments of Agriculture are working to suppress and eliminate these flies using biological solutions. Until then they have asked that all spotted lanternflies are to be killed and reported on their respective websites.
For Harriton TV, this is Ella Goodbinder. Now, back to the news desk. | agronomy |

SATURDAY April 1st saw the opening of the Joseph Norton Academy Wooden Spoon Farm, in Scissett, Huddersfield.
Wooden Spoon Yorkshire Committee attended the opening of this fantastic project and the opening was also attended by parents, teachers and representatives of Kirklees Council. Wooden Spoon Yorkshire Region chairman Stuart Watson cut the ribbon to declare the project open, following which the farm manager gave a tour of the superb new facilities.
With the backing of Wooden Spoon Yorkshire the school has taken a run down garden area and transformed it into a mini farm.
A refurbished polytunnel and raised beds give the pupils the chance to grow their own food. Alongside this, the pigmy goats, chickens and rabbits help them enjoy the wonderful experience of animal husbandry. A pig enclosure has also been built, but a yew tree and its poisonous leaves need to be removed before pigs can be brought onto the farm.
The school is the areas only special school catering for pupils with complex social, emotional and mental health difficulties. As the head explained, the farm helps the pupils develop a sense of responsibility and empathy, improves their confidence and their ability to build relationships and work together. All in all an inspiring project for all involved.
Stuart Watson commended this as a project that Wooden Spoon members can be proud of for many years to come as it makes a big difference to the education and well-being of the pupils at the school. | agronomy |

Some of the best tomatoes, cucumbers and Watermelon I have had in my life. Along with fresh bread every day. It was amazing.
As I was watering the front garden yesterday I realized my neighbors tomato plant was heavy laden with fruit. I watered the plant and harvested the fruit intending to pass it along to them, hoping for a few myself. Instead they told me I could have 90% of the batch--about 3-4 lbs of tomato! So excited about my harvest I realized my small group was scheduled to have community pizza night the next day. So, I looked online for a "home-made pizza sauce" recipe. The best one I saw just gave some general guidelines... that's my kind of cooking. So here's how it went.
mince garlic... about 6-8 cloves let sit in olive oil and salt while prepping other items
chop/blend tomatoes. I started chopping, but it looked to chunky, so then I blended it all up.
chop/mince basil about a handful
simmer garlic for 2-4 minutes over medium heat in a large pot (big enough for the whole batch)
add a pinch or two of crushed red peppers for some heat (stirring constantly)
drop in tomatoes, turn up the heat and stir occasionally until it reaches a boil.
reduce heat to a simmer and let it reduce
Stir in Oregano, Rosemary, Salt and Pepper
(simmer about 30-45 minutes)
Sorry I don't have more details, it's more an art than a science, and a whole lot more fun that way.
Fun with Food. | agronomy |

Before public services such as trash and recycling collection were widespread, composting was the primary way individuals got rid or and reused household waste.
Composting benefits the environment in several ways. Most notably, composting reduces the amount of solid waste that a home generates like old papers from easy essay writer. Composting also decreases the amount of unnatural or inorganic fertilizers used for lawns and gardens. Once compostable substances are decomposed, they form a nutrient-rich, all-natural fertilizer that can be added to soil in gardents and lawns to make them healthy and productive.
Anything that you know for a fact is biodegradable can be composted. This includes kitchen waste, such as vegetable and fruit peels, coffee grounds and egg shells. Lawn clippings, weeds, mulch, wood chips, leaves, grass, hay and straw can also be composted.
While anything biodegradable can be composted, foods that can spoil quickly, such as meats and milk, are very attractive to pests. In addition, human and animal waste, chemically treated lawn clippings, grass, hay, and straw, or anything diseased, can obviously have a deleterious effect on the fertilizer that will be yeilded from the compost. Do not add these in to your compost pile, even if they are biodegradable substances.
When considering what to compost, most organic substances that are green and brown are compostable. Most compostable materials, in addition to their color, are moist and soft. According to Tom Richard of the Cornell Cooperative Extension, anything with a high nitrogen content can be composted, most likely, as it will biodegrade and turn into an essential nutrient component for fertilizer.
Just remember, many compostable substances also attract vermin and insects, so keep your compost piles well fortified against these pests!
Starting a Compost PileMany people feel overwhelmed when starting a compost pile. Due to time, space and other restrictions, there are often concerns about having the resources to begin a compost pile. Compost piles can be large, or they can be as small as a tub on a porch or even under a sink. Apartment-dwellers can compost in a plastic tub with a lid, or begin a small compost pile in a courtyard or local park, with permission from the proper authorities. Individuals with detached homes can start compost piles on lawns or garden plots. Compost piles can be simply constructed by using an old sandbox or other walled structure (to keep away vermin and pests).
Many communities offer compost demonstrations, where you can watch an experienced composter build a composting site, add materials and use the compost. Most demonstrations also have a Q&A session to follow. | agronomy |

To get this objetive, the fair developes a strategic action planning to grow internationally.
In the last meeting of Organizing Committee, which was held at the headquarters of the company Saint-Gobain, in Madrid, two weeks ago, SMAGUA showed the importance to become in the epicentre of the European water sector, and to renew its leadership role as the door to new markets from North of Africa or Latin America.
In this regard, SMAGUA and the Zaragoza Exhbition Center work to set an international agenda to strengthen the image of the Salon. In the meeting, Zaragoza Exhibition Center General Manager, Rogelio Cuairán, explained the last actions that have been developed to support the content of SMAGUA in the last months. Cuairán explained some proposals between the Organization and the Ministry of Agriculture to include the presence of SMAGUA in the main international forums. Furthermore, Cuairán announced the central government’s interest and support to the show.
On the other hand, SMAGUA Commercial and Marketing Manager, Alberto López, emphasized the importance of the commercial strategy to recover historic companies participation.
López considered that SMAGUA has regained its hegemony in the foreign market. In addition explained the optimistic show current figures with a 26 percent increaese of registered companies with respect to the same dates two years ago.
In this moment, the firms that will be in SMAGUA 2019 come from 18 countries, and all of them show the importance of the exhibition for the international market.
Furthermore, SMAGUA Coordinator, Cristina López provided an overview of a complete programme of activities, which includes conferences, technical information and international meetings. All of these events will attract a great number of companies and proffesionals.
Moreover, explained more details about these programme and spoke about a specific area for Startups. Undoubtedly, the entrepreneurship and innovation constitute a key challenge for SMAGUA as a good channel to develop the technology transfer.
Another important issue will be the celebration of the international Trade Missions Programme, focused on related markets. The Mediterranean Arc, Latin America, the Middle East, North Africa and Europe will be the geographical points on which it will be focus on the 2019 edition.
Definitely, all these elements will contribute to boost the image and the weight that, for more than 40 years, have made SMAGUA the most effective fair for the southern European market. | agronomy |

Although closely related, you can easily distinguish currants and gooseberries by examining the canes and fruit. Gooseberry canes normally produce a spine at each leaf node and bear roughly grape-sized berries singly or in groups of two or three. Currant canes lack the spines and bear 8 to 30 pea-sized berries in clusters. A mature currant or gooseberry shrub can produce up to four quarts of showing symptoms of leaf chlorosis and deformity.

Leaning more towards an organic harmony with nature, we want the cleanest and most savory fruit possible to develop into wine in your glass. Bird boxes surround the vineyard to encourage native bird populations to keep malicious insects at bay. Using mostly natural nutrients in our spray programs develops healthier vines able to resist detrimental infections in the vineyard. This allows us to use minimal (if any) chemicals in the vineyard
Wine has a long and robust history tying cultures around the world to the land they cultivate while enriching the daily lives of all who experience its deliciousness. At Droumavalla Farm, we continue this luxurious farming tradition with the highest standards and practices in our vineyard. Our estate vineyard is 8 acres planted primarily to Bordeaux varietals on lush clay and loam soils with moderate relative elevation. Going into our 12th vintage from the estate, we are excited to see the complexities the fruit presents each year, now that they are over a decade old. To illuminate our guests’ exploration of wines from around the world, we do not shy away from pouring wines created in multiple international and domestic wine regions.
Our grapes come primarily from right outside the tasting room.
We rely on French oak with the majority being neutral second-fill barrels.
While keeping a Farm to Table mindset our wines are unique to the area because they're inspired by the goal to express the characteristics of the vineyard site and vintage as they constantly change.
"The goal is grapes being grown with intuition and intention. To create wine with authenticity and honesty".
On-site, we have 7.85 acres in total. We just replanted 1 acre of Chardonnay, 2 clones Wente clone (New World style) and Dijon clone (Burgundy style), 1 acre of Chardonel (Chardonnay and Seyval hybrid), just under 1 acre of Merlot, 1.5 acres of Cabernet Franc , close to 2 acres of Petit Verdot, 3/4 acre of Chambourcin and 3/4 acre of Petit Manseng (this block is Chambourcin heavy)
The name Droumavalla is Irish and means "a mile from town"
It takes approximately 1,204 grapes to make a bottle of wine. | agronomy |

In the second half of 2018, WWF-Indonesia initiated a sustainable palm oil campaign aimed at expanding public understanding of sustainable palm oil, and ultimately increasing consumer demand for sustainable palm oil products. The campaign is carried out through intensive media engagement, as well as the use of social media to multiply stories and conversations in the public sphere regarding sustainable palm oil. The implementation of this campaign received expert support from a communication consulting agency, Edelman Indonesia, which assisted WWF-Indonesia in the formulation of campaign strategies to the implementation of the campaign through strategic activities involving media participation.
As part of the campaign, on November 21-24, WWF-Indonesia held a 'Journalist Trip' in Sintang Regency, West Kalimantan. As the name implies, in this activity WWF-Indonesia invited journalists representing a number of media along with several social media (micro) influencers to witness firsthand the efforts of sustainable palm oil production practices carried out by oil palm independent smallholders in Sintang district.
Today, independent smallholders play a very significant role in Indonesia's palm oil industry. As much as 40 percent of Indonesia's palm oil production is produced from independent smallholders' land. Due to chaotic regulations and limited information among farmers, most oil palm independent smallholders do not understand the practice of sustainable oil palm production so that many of their plantation activities are environmentally damaging with less profitable results.
The journalist trip was conducted to introduce media partners to WWF-Indonesia's activities in Sintang District, which collaborate with the local government (from the regent to related agencies), community groups (especially farmers), companies and fellow NGOs from related fields to realize sustainable palm oil production practices. During the three-day trip, fellow journalists and influencers had the opportunity to meet face-to-face with the Regent of Sintang, Dr.Jarot Winarno, attend the Public Consultation session for the formulation of the Regional Action Plan-Sustainable Palm Oil, visit the WWF-Indonesia office in Sintang city and meet directly with independent smallholder groups in Telaga Satu Village, Binjai Hulu District to witness firsthand the extension activities carried out by the Sintang Agriculture and Plantation Office in order to socialize environmentally friendly and responsible palm oil plantation practices. | agronomy |

Some mycotoxins can, already in low quantities, influence the immune response system and inhibit both the protein and the DNA synthesis. The toxic compounds produced by the fungi include trichothecenes, fumonisines, fusarin C, beauvericin, enniatins, moniliformin and zearalenons among others. Several Fusarium species are pathogenic on cereals. The quantity and the population of Fusarium present on the grains, as well as environmental factors like temperature and humidity, can influence the amount of mycotoxins produced.
- Dr. Tapani Yli-Mattila's research group has had collaboration with the research groups of Prof. Levitin and Dr. Mona Torp after the Fifth European Fusarium meeting in Szeged in 1997. After the year 1998 four researchers from All-Russian Plant Protection institute have visited the laboratory of Tapani Yli-Mattila at the University of Turku as a part of a bilaterial researcher exchange program between Finnish and Russian academies. Tapani Yli-Mattila, Aldo Rizzo, Ulf Thrane, Mona Torp and Sonja Klemsdal started the European collaboration in the COST 835 action "Agriculturally Important Toxigenic Fungi" in 1998-2003. Most of us were also involved in the NorFA course "Genes and Mycotoxins in Plant-Fungal interactions", which was organized by Prof. Henriette Giese in Copenhagen in August 2002. This gave us an idea to apply for a three-year grant for the network project "New emerging mycotoxins and toxigenic fungi in Northern Europe" from the Nordic Research Board (NordForsk). The network grant was accepted for one year and it included ca. 40 short visits (less than 10 days), two longer visits (3-4 weeks) three meetings and one laboratory course from July 2003 to June 2004. Unfortunately, it was the last year for this kind of academic activity in the NordForsk and was not possible to apply for additional years. Through this one year of networking though, all the involved institutions got the opportunity to become acquainted with the other institutions' laboratory facilities and ongoing research.

- During the first year of the network project the research groups at the University of Turku, the Norwegian Crop Research Inst., Plant Protection Centre and The Norwegian National Veterinary Institute have developed PCR-based molecular methods for identification and quantification of different plant-pathogenic and antagonistic fungal species and strains, and have also used DNA sequences for phylogenetic species identification. In a polyphasic study organised by Dr. Mona Torp through COST 835, the morphological and sequence data was combined with the metabolite data of the research group of Dr. U. Thrane at the Technical University of Denmark, and with other molecular and toxin data from other research groups of COST 835 to verify the presence of a new toxin producing species; Fusarium langsethiae in a study of ca. 100 Fusarium strains from different parts of the world. In this work the Russian culture collection of the laboratory of Prof. M. Levitin was very useful. The new member of our network project, Hans Pettersson is a coordinator of an EU-project on trichothecene analysis and a project leader in projects on trichothecene metabolism and toxicology.
- Fusarium graminearum is the most quickly emerging toxigenic Fusarium species in Northern Europe. It has been much more common in Norway and Finland, but it has not yet been found in Northwestern Russia. The main toxins produced by F. graminearum are deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEN). In Dr. Klemdals's research group work is in progress to clone and characterize genes involved in the synthesis of zearalenone. Once verified, this information can be used to screen isolates from the network for their ability to produce this mycotoxin.
- In Northern Europe Fusarium avenaceum is the most common Fusarium species. This fungus, which has been considered nontoxigenic, was recently found to be able to produce the mycotoxins; moniliformin, enniatins and beauvericin. Dr. Rizzo was involved in the study, in which the Fusarium toxin, beauvericin, was as the first time found in cereal (rye) grains (Logrieco et al. 2002) and his research group as well as the Norwegian National Veterinary Insitute have also developed methods for quantification of moniliformin and enniatins in cereal grains. The research group of Ulf Thrane has studied metabolite profiles of F. avenaceum and F. tricinctum. Dr. Klemsdal's research group has already developed a quantitative PCR method for detecting F. avenaceum and trichothecene producing Fusarium strains in cereal grains, while Dr. Yli-Mattila's research group has developed quantitative PCR methods for F. graminearum and F. poae. Phylogenetic studies of F. avenaceum/F.arthrosporioides/F. tricinctum species complex are also going on at the research groups of Drs. Klemsdal, Yli-Mattila and Torp. Methods to study genetic variation between fungal isolates within species are also available in the network, e.g. AFLP (Klemsdal) UP-PCR and RAPD-PCR (Yli-Mattila) and DNA sequencing, microarray and data analyses (several laboratories in the network).
Prospects and need for Nordic co-operation in the subject area with particular reference to research training
- The amount of mycotoxins present in cereals will differ between year and districts, and will also depend on resistance / susceptibility of the plant species or cultivar used.
- The presence of living toxin producing fungi in cereals used for human food and animal feed can be avoided by correct methods of processing of the raw material. However, as many of the mycotoxins are heat stable, these compounds cannot be removed through the chain of processing, and once present in the grains at harvest, they will also be present in the final product.
- To address this specific problem it is important that the research activities in the Nordic countries are co-ordinated. The current NordForsk network will facilitate such co-ordination.
- In order to minimize occurrence and effects of new emerging mycotoxins and other secondary fungal metabolites in the food chain, it is necessary to determine the Fusarium and other toxigenic fungal species (e.g. Alternaria) composition on cereals and to characterize the populations and genetic structure of dominant Fusarium fungi and their toxins in Nordic countries and northwestern part of Russia (Leningrad region). There is also a need for a bioassay-guided search for new toxic fungal metabolites produced by the dominating fungal species on grain in this region. In addition, we will study the influence of geographical isolation and environmental factors on the formation of dominant species complex and population structure and to determine levels of different mycotoxins in cereals in Norway, Denmark, Finland and North-West Russia. New molecular techniques for early detection of toxigenic fungi will be used in order to understand the molecular basis of the toxigenicity. In addition, toxigenic Alternaria species will be studied in cereal grains.
- The project is multidisciplinary (mycology, plant pathology, biochemistry, toxicology, molecular genetics) and has a strong system oriented component. This is a reason enough to set up a network because cooperation between different laboratories is essential for synergy and research efficiency.
- The main goal of the network is to coordinate the Nordic research on Fusarium species of special interest to the Nordic countries in order to achieve synergy and research efficiency.
- Sub-projects will be :
- Further analyses of taxa and metabolites of particular importance in the Nordic countries due to their occurrence, genetic variation, toxigenicity or pathogenicity. Also the biological relevance of biotic and abiotic interactions between Fusarium spp., their metabolites and their environment, will be studied.
- Development of diagnostic tools with particular emphasis on Nordic needs and potentially with the objective to commercialise the tools.
- Study the interaction between cereal plants and toxin producing fungi.
- Training of Nordic researchers and research students in relevant disciplines
- The final goal of the second subproject is to develop quick and cheap molecular methods for the detection of toxigenic Fusarium strains from cereal grain samples used for food. The present chemical and microbiological methods are too expensive and/or slow for routine toxin analyses in grains.
- In our study we will emphasise the study on the Fusarium avenaceum/F.arthrosporioides/F. tricinctum species complex and its toxins, since the taxonomy, toxins and other metabolites of this species complex are unclear and the majority of Fusarium isolates in grains in Northern Europe belong to this group. This species complex has been considered nontoxigenic, but recently it has been documented that several new toxins are produced by it in grains and other food products. Thus, one of the main goals of our project will be to clarify the occurrence, the taxonomy, mycotoxins and other toxic metabolites and quantification of Fusarium avenaceum/F. arthrosporioides/F .tricinctum species complex in Northern Europe. For this purpose isolates will be collected from all countries of the network project and the same well-characterized isolates will be delivered to all partners to be studied by different molecular, morphological, taxonomical and chemical analyses.
The network project will continue the work of the network project "New emerging mycotoxins and toxigenic fungi in Northern Europe", which was funded for one year by the Nordic Council in 2003-2004.
- In the present network, we want to utilize the knowledge of individual laboratories and to coordinate the work to avoid overlapping and achieving synergistic scientific effects instead. During visits of maximum 8 weeks the visitors will give a lecture about their work, and have opportunities to learn new methods and techniques and in most cases they will be able to start small projects, which will result in new publications. This is especially important for young researchers and doctoral students. We are also going write an additional application to NordForsk to organize a NordForsk course during the third year of the project. We will also arrange workshops during the network period. | agronomy |

Lowering the surface tension lowers the energy required to spread drops onto a film, thus weakening the cohesive properties of the liquid and strengthening its adhesive properties. The simplest way to improve water take up by hydrophobic soils is to use a soil wetting agent. When organic matter on the soil breaks down it leaves a waxy coating on the soil particles. Wetting agents are like detergents. They overcome that waxing coating and allow water to penetrate into the pore spaces between. There are four main types of wetting agents: anionic, cationic, amphoteric, and nonionic.
- Wide range of application such as in Plant growth regulation, Herbicides, Pesticides, Antiseptics, Fertilizers and trace elements. One example of how wetting agents work is in the formation of micelles. Micelles consist of hydrophilic heads forming an outer layer around lipophilic tails. When in water, the micelles' tails can surround an oil droplet while the heads are attracted to the water. | agronomy |
