In order to carry abundant crops, our fruit trees must be healthy and strong first. Today is your fruit tree's lucky day!
Today is all about deciduous fruit trees eg: apples, peaches, plums, apricots, pears, persimmon.
How to thin fruit. What a difference thinning makes! Thinning keeps the pressure off your trees and creates steady cropping year after year. I'll show you how so you can go home and do your own trees.
Biological sprays. My favourite health regime! These sprays keep your trees and the ground around them fighting fit. I'll also explain fungicides - copper and lime sulfur - if and when you need them and how best to use them.
Herbal ley. Everything does better in a community. We'll look at groundcovers, nitrogen fixers and all round cool companion plants that'll take your orchard next level.
Fruit trees in bags. Rather than relying on weaker dwarf trees for smaller sections, I'll show you the wonder that is the Evergrow bag. Check out my figs and cherries!
There will be homemade morning tea, a cup of coffee and take home notes.
The workshop goes on rain or shine.


Due to strong fundamentals, prices of Mentha Oil futures (September) are likely to continue with the trend of support at the level of Rs 1,635.
With the hope of getting better prices, farmers and stockists have been able to keep their stocks in check, prices are also getting help. It is estimated that around 40% of the stock is left with the farmers, while the export demand is high and if the rupee remains weak, demand may continue to rise.
Due to higher production estimates, prices of guarseed futures (October) are likely to be trending with support at the level of Rs 4,150. The prices of guarseed and guaragam prices have declined in spot markets due to the sudden fall in productivity due to sudden dry weather in major production areas of Rajasthan. During the current monsoon in guarseed production areas, the shortage of rainfall has increased to 10%. For the first time since 2014, Rajasthan has received less than normal rainfall.
Chana futures (October) are likely to do business in the range of 3,900-4,000 rupees. There is a trend of softening prices of gram due to weak demand at higher prices in Indore mandi. In major states, the prices of gram have declined in the country’s major spot markets due to the sale of pulses and sluggish trade in the markets. On the Mumbai and Mundra ports, Australian gram prices fell by Rs 25-50 per kg to Rs 3,950-3,975 per 100 kg.

Would you like to see my garden and yard?
It was such a nice Spring day I took a bunch of pictures of how things look now. Here is a view of my garden and the property. Still have lots of red oak leaf lettuce and fennel from my Fall/Winter garden. The artichoke is doing great as is the chives in front of it. They like all the rain we have been having.
And the veggies I planted over a week ago in the lettuce bed are starting to come up. I have enough rhubarb to make the first pie of the year. The flowers that are in bloom are the CA poppy, nasturtium, and calendula. The rosemary is a huge 3 ft. bush that is in bloom. The irises are up but no blooms yet. The big tree is a Monterey cypress. Here is the gazebo DH built about 7+ years ago. I have about 30 rose bushes planted around it.
Hope you enjoyed the tour.

In the Step ‘N Tilt lawn plug aerator review we look at a true lawn plug aerator which is not to be confused with the spike version of aerators. If you have real lawn compaction problems then you need a lawn plug aerator rather than one of those spike versions.
OK, it’s a lot more work but the spike aerator will only provide you with a short fix and will need to be redone again in a short period afterwards.
The manual lawn aerator will definitely require more effort and will take longer to perform as opposed to the mechanical Agri-Fab 45-0299 which is towed behind a lawn tractor. But if you only have a smaller lawn or a small area of lawn that needs attention then the Step ‘N Tilt lawn core aerator 2 will probably be all that you need.
Anyone who already uses a lawn tractor will obviously have a large lawn and should really aim for the Agri-Fab aerator.
Table of Page Contents
Using The Lawn Plug Aerator
The Step ‘N Tilt as the name implies is operated by placing your foot on the foot plate to dig it into the lawn and then tilting the handle backwards to draw out the plug. This is designed to make it easier and cause less stress to the joints as well as the back muscles bearing in mind that this is a repetitive movement.
You can use this lawn plug aerator right up close to lawn edges and boundary walls if needed due the shape and operation method used and provide an all-over better look to the lawn.
The option is available with the 2013 model to either use it with all 4 tines or to use only two. A very good idea where the ground is heavily compacted as you would really struggle to drive the tine into very hard bare earth.
Using this plug removal type of aeration makes the ideal time to do some re-seeding as new grass seed will be washed into the newly formed holes to add new young shoots to replenish the older growth. You could choose to either brush in new compost or let the broken down cores refill naturally with the aid of rain or by manually watering.
As if all this wasn’t enough this lawn plug aerator also doubles up as a truck to carry around the bags of seed and/or compost to top dress your lawn afterwards.
To provide their customers with piece of mind Step ‘N Tilt gives owners 120 day money back guarantee as well as a one-year warranty, which is really fair and gives users a good chance to give it a try. Personally I love this option as it speaks volumes about these types of companies. That coupled with the fact they are a “Better Business Bureau Accredited Business” tell me they are aiming for customer satisfaction.

Step N Tilt Lawn Plug Aerator Review By Users
The Step ‘N Tilt lawn core aerator 2 has a very high rating of 4.4 from 5 stars rating and coming from the 37 users who have left a review so far. Below is a short list of the pros and cons taken from the user comments.
Free from clogging problems experienced with other models
Assembly of this product was easy
Very sturdy and well made
Easily the best manual aerator you can buy
Something that actually works the way it’s advertised
I wish they had a pin built into the unit to secure the cleaning tool
If you read the reviews yourself I’m sure that you’ll agree that people are more than happy with their purchase. And for this reason plus the policy that this company has regarding ensuring customer satisfaction, I highly recommend you give the Step ‘N Tilt lawn core aerator 2 a try.
A couple of points that you should know about before buying might be, be prepared to do some manual work. It is not an automated system the same as the Agri Fab 45 0299 tow behind aerator and spreading the work out over a few days would be a good idea especially for anyone less fit.
Also, when assembling the Step ‘N Tilt lawn core aerator 2 it’s a good idea to keep all the nuts a bit slack and make sure you have correctly assembled the unit. The reason being that, these nylon threaded type of nuts are used and they work best if tightened fully just the one time.
You will find it easier to use the lawn plug aerator after a wet spell or as an alternative you could also water well before using it if the ground was very dry and hard. Get more information here. Go here to see more versions here.


#Plant16 is moving ahead and the National Corn Growers Association is getting their yearly National Corn Yield Contest underway as well. Participants in this year’s contest can register now through June 30th to save on entry fees. The early-bird fee is only $75, promising to save growers money for taking the time to register sooner rather than later.
“We are excited to announce that yield contest entry is now open. While it may still seem a ways out, we all know how quickly the time passes once planting season starts,” said Production and Stewardship Action Team Chair Brent Hostetler. “Every year, we gain valuable data from the contest that help develop the production practices of tomorrow. I urge those who haven’t entered before to become NCGA members and try their hand at high-yield techniques as contest entrants in 2016.”
Register now online, even from your mobile devices. Registration will remain open through July 29 at the cost of $110. Harvest forms will be due by November 21. Winners will be announced on December 16.
The 2016 rules state than an entry form must be submitted two week prior to the date harvested. You can see a full list of the entry and harvest rules here.
Winners will be honored at the 2017 Commodity Class in San Antonio, Texas and will be recognized in publications like the NCYC Corn Yield Guide. Winners will also receive trips and other awards from sponsoring seed, chemical and crop protection companies. Contact firstname.lastname@example.org with any questions.


The Lowveld area of north-eastern South Africa has been hit by hail as one of the most violent storms in recent history caused widespread damage in the region, as well as in KwaZulu-Natal.
The area affected by hail lies mainly around Nelspruit, with growers at Malalane further down the Crocodile River not being affected. In KwaZulu-Natal, unprecendented rain in one single day caused flooding and damage in and around the city and in the port of Durban.
For citrus growers in this area of the Lowveld, producing mainly navels, Valencias and mandarins, the hail is a tremendous setback as the crop for next year is now setting on the trees.
In the Port of Durban, there was some luck for the citrus industry since shipments for the season are just about completed. “If this happened in the peak of our season, it could have been a disaster,” said the CGA’s Mitchell Brooke.
The CGA’s grower representative in the Lowveld region, Andrew Millar, said that assessments as to the scale of the hail damage were still underway. “It could cut next year’s citrus exports from this region by around 1.8m cartons,” he said. “Some orchards suffered 80-90 per cent damage.”
The area affected also produces macadamias, but the sub-tropical fruit in the area was apparently unaffected. Since hail often occurs in patches, Miller suggested caution when making early predictions.
In the Cape region, where there has simply not been enough rain over the past winter to see growers of deciduous fruit, table grapes and citrus through the next season, the City of Cape Town has started rationing to its citizens in order to save water.
“Where our dams should have been at least at 70 per cent capacity to comfortably get through to the next winter, we are now sitting at 37 per cent,” said a city spokesperson. Last year dams were 57 per cent full after the season.
Rationing takes places on an ad hoc basis without warning. The City is taking extraordinary measures to develop additional water resources, including underground reserves at deep levels, as well as desalination of sea water.
Growers in the Hex River Valley said that they would have about 70 per cent of their normal water quotas available and will have to work carefully to get through the season.
Meanwhile, in the central and northern regions of the country, good rains have arrived early this year. The two main storage dams in the Vaal and Orange Rivers are in excess of 90 per cent full. If this continues, the flow in these rivers will continue dramatically and the table grape and fruit growers lower down in the Northern Cape and Namibia may well encounter full rivers later this summer.


India's wheat exports from its buffer stocks provided some support to global prices.(File)
India has banned wheat exports, sending bushel prices to record highs and drawing criticism from the Group of Seven worried about protectionism as inflation soars in the wake of the Ukraine war.
What Did India Announce?
The world's second-largest producer of wheat said that traders could only enter into new export deals with express government approval.
Still permitted are requests approved by New Delhi from other governments reeling from record-high prices "to meet their food security needs", according to an order dated May 13.
What Was The Policy Before?
India previously said it was ready to help fill some of the supply shortages caused by the February invasion of Ukraine, which had accounted for 12 percent of global exports.
It planned to increase exports this financial year to 10 million tonnes from seven million tonnes.
"Our farmers have ensured that not just India but the whole world is taken care of," Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal had said in April.
Only last week India said it would send delegations to Egypt, Turkey and elsewhere to discuss boosting wheat exports. It was unclear whether these visits will now go ahead.
Why Did India Do This?
The reasons given were runaway inflation and food security in the poor nation of 1.4 billion people.
Some parts of India, Commerce Secretary BVR Subrahmanyam said on Sunday, have seen prices in wheat and flour jump 20 to 40 percent in recent weeks.
Because of the sharp rise in global prices, some farmers were selling to traders and not to the government.
This got the government worried about its buffer stock of almost 20 million tonnes -- depleted by the pandemic -- needed for handouts to millions of poor families and to avert any possible famine.
"We don't want wheat to go in an unregulated manner where (wheat) may either get hoarded and is not used for the purpose which we are hoping it will be used for -- which is serving the food requirements of vulnerable nations and vulnerable people," Subrahmanyam said.
What About The Heatwave?
India recorded its warmest March on record -- blamed on climate change -- and in recent weeks has seen a scorching heatwave with temperatures upwards of 45 degrees Celsius (113 Fahrenheit).
This hit farmers in wheat-producing northern India, prompting the government to predict output would fall at least five percent this year from 109 million tonnes in 2021.
What Was The Reaction?
G7 agriculture ministers meeting in Germany said that such measures "would worsen the crisis" of rising commodity prices.
"If everyone starts to impose export restrictions or to close markets, that would worsen the crisis," German Agriculture Minister Cem Ozdemir said.
Wheat prices surged to a new record high on Monday, jumping to 435 euros ($453) per tonne as the European market opened.
Is India A Big Wheat Exporter?
India is a marginal player globally and produces mostly for domestic consumption, and almost half its exports last year went to Bangladesh.
India's previously predicted exports of 10 million tonnes compares with a 53 million tonnes of wheat and meslin (a mixture of wheat and rye) exported by Russia and Ukraine in 2021, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
Its exports have been limited over quality concerns and World Trade Organisation rules about grain purchased by the state.
Why Then Did It Have Such A Big Effect?
Global commodity prices have soared on supply fears following the conflict in Ukraine, raising fears of famine and social unrest in poorer countries.
While India is a small player, its assurances of exports from its large buffer stocks provided some support to global prices and soothed fears of major shortages.
"No order is in perpetuity. If the global supply and demand is the same -- and once cooling (of prices) happens, it can be looked at again," Mr Subrahmanyam said.

ARMM approves company expansion for biomass
The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) Regional Board of Investments says it has approved a P24 million (€405,000) investment into expanding cassava starch producer Matling Industrial and Commercial Corporation.
The company is to expand its operations by building biomass power plants around the country and has also received investment from surrounding regions such as Malaysia and Brunei.
In 2007 ARMM also approved a corn starch factory from Lamsan to be built in Sultan Kudarat in the Philippines, which powers a nearby biomass facility.
More recently the Board helped the Philippine Trade Center, another corn starch provider, build a P88 million biomass power plant.

Ever since Nathan Warren first immigrated to the U.S. at the beginning of the 20th century, the Warren family has been involved in the production and marketing of fresh fruits and vegetables. Starting out with a horse drawn delivery cart in Providence, Rhode Island, Nathan expanded his wholesale distribution business to include facilities throughout the Northeastern U.S..
Son David was intrigued with farming from the beginning. After an eye-opening road trip in 1938, in which he visited farms and markets across the U.S., David permanently joined the company and eventually took over. In the 1970’s, David and his family lived in both Haiti and Guatemala, while he assisted the U.S. government in developing new crops for export from those countries. His experience there led him to open Central American Produce, and establish his own farming operation.
Grandson Michael now runs the company, which is in its 5th decade. Over the years, CAPCO Farms/Central American Produce has expanded its product line, offering an array of fruits and vegetables from many regions. Michael’s vision is to help young people learn from an early age to eat healthier, and educate consumers in general about the health benefits of some of the new and exciting foods now available.

Ohio’s Ag-LINK program expanded
To help Ohio farmers, Governor John Kasich has signed legislation that expands the Agricultural Linked Deposit Program (Ag-LINK).
The legislation expands the per-loan amounts from $100,000 to $150,000 and increases total funds available in the Ag-LINK program from $125 million per fiscal year to $165 million.
“Programs like Ag-LINK give the State of Ohio an opportunity to invest in Ohioans,” said Beth Vanderkooi, Ohio Farm Bureau director of state policy. “It also ensures that young or beginning farmers, who often have a wealth of knowledge but very little capital, have the opportunity to get a start. It is a great program for Ohio agriculture and the state of Ohio.”
The legislation that expands the Ag-LINK program was sponsored by Reps Robert Sprague (R-Findlay) and Brian Hill (R-Zanesville) and Sen. Bill Beagle (R-Tipp City).

"Bulgarian breakthrough" of "Chervona Zirka" from Kirovohrad.
234 companies from 28 countries of the world presented their technique. Kirovohrad enterprise presented production model types consisting of 4 units: modernized "Vesta 6" planter, "Altair 4,2", KPS 8 cultivators and "agricultural classics" - SZ – 5,4 planter
As exhibitors say, "Chervona Zirka" technique aroused great interest among the visitors. Within 5 days, Kirovohrad specialists had been consulting agrarians, taking interest in "chervonozorivska" technique. Mostly, they were interested in betterment, exploitation peculiarities, advantages and disadvantages as well.
During the exhibition, more than 100 Bulgarian farmers expressed willingness to see "Chervona Zirka" technique working on their fields. Local agrarians count every cent and are sure that seeding and cultivating technique of "Chervona Zirka" production is the most practical on the small fields in both aspects-price and technical one as well.
Because of factory product consumption fall in Ukraine, connected with instability of financial situation in the country, Kirovohrad enterprise proceeds with new markets development that is an important company policy direction. After success at Bulgarian agricultural exhibition, "chervonozorivtsi", to one’s utmost, are getting ready to subdue with the products-exhibition visitors in Moldova and Germany, which will be held soon.

The Global Rundown
Snowmelt replenishes the Colorado River, the Rio Grande, and other waterways across the southwestern United States. The Islamic State group continues to deliberately torch fields in Iraq, just as the country welcomes its first strong crop in years. Monsoon rains reach drought-stricken Maharashtra, India. Severe storms delay wheat sowing in Argentina, but could expand planting area. Environmental groups in Michigan continue to protest a replacement of the Line 5 oil pipeline in the Straits of Mackinac.
“It couldn’t have come at a better time. There’s this big sense of relief this year that we’ve kind of rebounded.” –Greg Smith, a hydrologist with the Colorado Basin River Forecast Center, in reference to the melting snow streaming into parched river in the southwestern U.S. Several states, including Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming, experienced above-average snowfall this winter. Now, the snowmelt is rejuvenating the Colorado River, the Rio Grande, and other key waterways. Associated Press

Price of Water 2019: Even Without Federal Infrastructure Deal, Cities Continue to Invest — India’s monsoon, essential for the country’s water supply, arrived a week late this year, testing the patience of a country where extreme weather is fraying the social fabric.
By The Numbers
180 Crop fires recorded between May 18 and June 11 in Ninevah, Iraq, which is home to about half of the country’s cultivated land. After years of drought and war, Iraq is finally experiencing a good harvest, but the Islamic State is now deliberately torching fields. So far, a relatively small proportion of crops have been burned, but officials warn the blazes could spread to storage sites. Reuters
4.4 miles Length of pipeline along Enbridge’s Line 5 that runs directly along the floor of Lake Michigan. Canadian oil company Enbridge says the aging pipeline needs replacement, and was approved to begin construction just as former governor Rick Snyder, a Republican, left office in January.

Environmental groups and several Democratic lawmakers feel the replacement poses a major environmental threat to the U.S. Great Lakes. The Guardian
Science, Studies, and Reports
Heavy storms in Argentina have delayed planting of the country’s wheat crop, but could ultimately boost yields, according to meteorologists. The torrential rains are restoring water reserves across the country, which will allow farmers to sow more land if weather conditions are favorable for the rest of the season. Reuters
On the Radar
On Thursday, monsoon rains reached the southern part of Maharashtra, India, the country’s second most populous state. The late arrival of the rains has hampered crop planting and caused severe water shortages in many parts of the state. Economic Times

Deputy President David Mabuza is making R30 million available for the procurement and distribution of fodder for the farming communities in the drought-stricken Northern Cape.
Mabuza visited Aggeneys in the Khai Ma Local Municipality, Namakwa District, on Friday as part of the land reform and integrated farmer support programme.
According to a statement by the Presidency, the Northern Cape was currently experiencing persistent drought in its five districts.
“Currently, below average vegetation condition is being experienced over most areas, whereby almost 15,500 farms with a carrying capacity of about 613,447 large stock units,” it said.
“Noting the direct impact of the current drought and potential escalation if it prevails, the government held a successful meeting with organised agriculture with the aim of developing intervention mechanisms to respond to this challenge.”
Apart from the R30m that has been reprioritised by the government for fodder, Mabuza said it had committed itself to provide assistance for the production of fodder to increase the current capacity of the Fodder Bank that was established by the province.
“With regards to the challenge of water availability, the deputy president has directed the government to increase the capacity of water provision by drilling more boreholes through the Department of Human Settlements, Water and Sanitation.
“The government will engage with the Land Bank to establish ways to providing relief for defaulting farmers affected by drought. Various government departments will work together to resolve issues around declaration and classification of the drought in the Northern Cape,” the Presidency said.
While on his visit, Mabuza also met with representatives of the Khoisan communities who raised issues around the outstanding land claims, progress so far achieved with regards to the Khoi San Bill and their participation in the structures of Traditional Leadership Council.
“Deputy President Mabuza has committed the government to follow up on all outstanding matters that relate to the provision of integrated support for farmers as well as issues affecting the leadership of the Khoisan communities,” the Presidency said.
“This collective and rapid response by our government on issues raised in parliament as a representative body of the people, indicates that when we work together in unity and prioritise issues affecting all our people beyond sectarian interests, our country can move forward with required speed,” Mabuza said.


Cape Town is banking on late winter rains to refill its half-empty dams and stave off water restrictions.
The six main dams that supply almost all of the coastal city’s needs are on average 54% full, down from 98% a year ago.
“We won’t have a clearer picture on water levels until the end of winter” in late August, city spokesperson Simon Maytham said. “We are not at panic stations yet.”
The Western Cape is one of South Africa’s most water-stressed regions and, unlike the rest of the country, it gets the bulk of its rainfall in winter.
The province is a major wine and wheat producer.
Durban, on the east coast, started water rationing this month to stave off a shortage, while a drought in other parts of the country has cut the corn crop.
“The winter rainfall season was about two weeks late this year,” Carl Opperman, chief executive officer of farming group Agri Wes-Cape, said by e-mail. “We are not as comfortable as we were this time last year. Heavier showers are needed.”
Little rain is expected this week in Cape Town, according to the SA Weather Service. News24

Farmers resorting to distress selling: Amarinder
Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh today issued a “look out” notice for the Badal government, saying “it had gone completely missing from the mandis (grain markets) of the state”.punjab Updated: Oct 12, 2016 20:14 IST
Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh today issued a “look out” notice for the Badal government, saying “it had gone completely missing from the mandis (grain markets) of the state.”
“With the government disappearing from the scene, farmers have been forced to resort to distress selling of paddy at rates much lower than the MSP (minimum support price),” he said interacting with farmers here on his three-day visit to areas, which fall along the Indo-Pak border.
He also interacted with farmers at the grain markets in Fatehgarh Churian, Kalanaur, Ghaniyae Ke Bet and Batala.
The farmers told him that the government had “virtually suspended” the procurement and most of them have been waiting at the grain markets for over a week.
Paddy of most farmers lie in the open at the risk of gaining moisture. If the produce is not lifted in time, procurement agencies will not buy our produce, they said.
“I wonder where has the government vanished? The government claimed to have started the process on October 1, but there is no procurement noticeable anywhere,” he said.
“I had already informed chief minister Parkash Singh Badal of the situation but he has failed to take any measure to ensure timely procurement of paddy,” he said.
Farmers told Amarinder that with no procurement they were resorting to distress selling at prices lesser than the minimum support price of Rs 1,510 per quintal.
Some farmers have even sold it for Rs 1,200 per quintal, they said.
Amarinder assured them he was aware of their problems because of the government’s “total apathy”.
He said the Badal government was merely looking for “excuses” to get out of the procurement process because it did not have money to pay farmers.
“Farmers in Punjab are already being discriminated and it is evident from the stringent moisture norms in the state compared to those in Haryana,” he said, adding the permissible moisture limit in Punjab was 17 per cent whereas in Haryana it is 22 per cent.
“Those in border villages have suffered a double blow. They were earlier forced to evacuate and are now being made to wait indefinitely at the grain market to sell their produce,” he said.
He asserted this was the “last” procurement for the Akalis as they would be “overthrown” in the upcoming Punjab elections.

The development of sugar bush production required a whole variety of characterization and evaluation in order to achieve optimal result in respect of sustainable management.
The sample intensity is decisive. In fact, in our opinion, the forest inventories must be random and systematic with a plot sampling (11,28 m radius) to obtain significant results. Soil composition and moisture (drainage class) are also key elements to consider. Finally, a soil chemical analysis can establish the possible deficiencies and help define a fertilization program to increase the sugar bush productivity.
We offer the following services:
- FSC forest certification;
- Tree health statement;
- Tap and potential tap inventory;
- Sugar bush market value appraisal;
- Commission de la protection du territoire agricole du Québec (CPTAQ) requests;
- Fertilization program;
- Sugar bush plan for quota increase.


The White Widow Automatic is a new cross of a classic Dutch strain, White Widow. Royal Queen Seeds got their hands on a great clone of the original White Widow variety and crossed it with their finest autoflowering strains. Like the non-autoflowering original White Widow, this strain has wide, dark green leaves and is dusted with a heavy coating of resin. The White Widow Automatic replicates the original White Widow very closely but only takes around 75 days to grow from seed to bud. The only real difference is the autoflowering growth, smaller size and slightly heavier effect. The buds, despite their hybrid genetics, have a mainly Indica appearance and effect. The White Widow Automatic has a sweet and sour, citrus-like aroma and taste, similar to but not as strong as White Widow. This strain was bred for a few years to ensure stability in the genetics. Indoors it will grow to an average height of around 50 cm, with some larger plants reaching 100 cm. Its yield is quite good for an autoflowering strain and it will produce around 40 to 160 grams per plant depending on conditions.

So I've been working on clearing our yard to make room for planting vegetables and also laying stone/rocks or flagstone pavers, etc. There are a couple large Jacaranda trees just outside of the yard wall where the branches overhang. So when the seeds/pods/flowers bloom and shed, they fall into the yard, covering a good portion. It gets pretty messy. I was wondering what would allow for the easiest cleanup in terms of ground cover if I were to go with decorative rocks versus flagstone pavers versus other... currently we have nothing out there - it's just a mixture of dirt, woodchips, the latest bloom from the Jacaranda and other stuff.
One other question: with all this other stuff that's gotten mixed in with the soil, is it a good idea to plan vegetables on this ground?


Sarma attended the Video Conference of Union Minister for DoNER G. Kishan Reddy and Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar with Chief Ministers of North Eastern States on various agriculture and horticulture related issues in NE Region with prime focus on National Mission on Edible Oil-Oil Palm (NMEO-OP).
Several other matters related to this sector including Mission Organic Value Chain Development for North Eastern Regions (MOVCDNER), National Bamboo Mission (NBM), Sustainable Development Goals and their target indexes for North Eastern states etc. were also discussed during this conference.
On 18th August, 2021, the Union Cabinet, led by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given its approval to launch a new Mission on Oil palm named as National Mission on Edible Oils - Oil Palm (NMEO-OP) as a new Centrally Sponsored Scheme with special focus on the North east region and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The scheme with a pegged outlay of Rs. 11,040 crores has been formulated to provide a boost to palm oil production in the country and reduce dependence on edible oil imports. Out of its total financial outlay, the North Eastern Region alone gets target of 5850 crores which can bring a revolution on this sector to this region.
Sarma apprised the union ministers that at present Assam has 350 hactres of oil palm cultivation covering Goalpara, Bongaigaon and Kamrup (R) districts. Assam government is very much enthusiastic for attaining maximum benefit from this ambitious mission and it will submit its detailed proposal to the Central Government within next week, he added.

Soybeans take moderate cuts, with wheat mixed Thursday
Grain prices were mixed again Thursday, with corn firming on some export optimism that triggered some technical buying that pushed futures about 1% higher today. Wheat also finished moderately higher, with the focus remaining on supply and demand fundamentals for now. Soybeans continued to spill into the red, meantime, after the continued lack of Chinese purchases and favorable South American weather forecasts spurred another round of technical selling today.
A round of wintry weather is eastbound, moving out of the Corn Belt by late this weekend, with light to moderate rain and snow probable for most areas east of the Mississippi River through Sunday, per the latest 72-hour cumulative precipitation map from NOAA. Further out, warmer and wetter weather is likely for much of the country from January 30 through February 5, per the agency’s latest 8-to-14-day forecasts.
On Wall St., the WHO calmed some investor fears about the Asian coronavirus, saying it’s a “bit too early to consider this event is a public health emergency of international concern.” Still, the Dow sagged 44 points lower this afternoon to 29,142. Energy futures dropped again Thursday afternoon, with crude oil down another 2.5% this afternoon to fall below $56 per barrel. Gasoline was down nearly 2%, with diesel losses at around 1%. The U.S. Dollar firmed moderately.
Corn prices tilted about 1% higher after two large export sales were announced to Guatemala and unknown destinations this morning, and as analysts have bullish expectations for the next round of USDA export sales data, out Friday morning. March futures gained 5 cents to $3.9375, with May futures picking up 4.25 cents to $3.9850.
Corn basis bids were steady to firm Thursday, rising 1 to 3 cents higher across a handful of Midwestern locations today. Farmer sales remain generally slow through the first three weeks of 2020.
Private exporters announced to USDA two large corn sales this morning. The first sale was for 5.7 million bushels for delivery to Guatemala. Of the total, nearly 80% is for delivery during the 2019/20 marketing year, which began September 1, with the remainder for delivery in 2020/21. The second sale was for 5.6 million bushels for delivery to unknown destinations in 2019/20.
Analysts are expecting a more robust round of export data from USDA tomorrow morning, with trade guesses for corn sales ranging between 27.6 million and 47.2 million bushels for the week ending January 16.
Meantime, Asian feed buyers are paying premiums for corn from Ukraine, one of the few major exporters sitting on higher quality grain. Buyers are cautiously interested in U.S. grain, with a trader in Singapore noting: “This year there are more number three and number four grades of [U.S.] corn, mainly from the crop that gets shipped through Pacific Northwest ports to North Asia.” Ukraine’s corn exports this marketing year are up 27% so far, with 559 million bushels as of January 20.
Recently higher projections for China and U.S. corn production had the International Grains Council (IGC) increasing its global corn crop forecast by 8 million metric tons to reach 1.111 billion MT. That’s still below last year’s projection of 1.129 BMT, however.
IGC also expects a global decline of corn stocks for 2019/20 for a third consecutive year, now estimated at 11.141 billion bushels and down 23% from 2016/17.
Weekly ethanol production fell to an eight-week low for the week ending January 17, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Average daily production last week slipped to 1.049 million barrels. March futures trended about 0.75% higher to $1.353 this afternoon.
The U.S. EPA and the Department of the Army proposed a new "waters of the U.S." rule – now called the Navigable Waters Protection Rule – in an ongoing attempt to offer clarity for farmers and landowners to better understand what water features fall under federal jurisdiction while following congressional intent and adhering to court cases. Farm Futures policy editor Jacqui Fatka takes a closer look – click here to learn more.
Preliminary volume estimates were for 410,527 contracts, up substantially from Wednesday’s final count of 241,651.
Soybean prices shifted moderately lower again in a choppy session Thursday as the absence of recent Chinese purchases and favorable South American weather forecasts drummed up enough headwinds to trigger some more technical selling today. March and May futures each dropped 4.25 cents to close at $9.0950 and $9.2325, respectively.
Soybean basis bids were narrowly mixed at interior river terminals Thursday and held largely steady elsewhere across the central U.S. today.
Ahead of Friday morning’s weekly export sales report from USDA, analysts expect the agency to show soybean sales ranging between 25.7 million and 47.8 million bushels for the week ending January 16, with nearly all trade guesses besting the prior week’s tally of 26.1 million bushels.
Analysts also expect USDA to report an additional 200,000 to 450,000 metric tons of soymeal sales last week, plus another 5,000 to 26,000 MT of soyoil sales.
IGC fractionally raised its 2019/20 global soybean production estimates to 12.566 billion bushels, but that projection is still 5.3% below last year’s record production. Inventories are expected to tighten to just 1.323 billion bushels after the U.S. saw moderate weather-related production cuts last season.
Preliminary volume estimates were for 151,961 contracts, falling short of Wednesday’s final count of 164,917.
Wheat prices were narrowly mixed but mostly lower amid a round of uneven technical maneuvering Thursday. Chicago SRW contracts captured some modest gains, with March futures firming 2.75 cents to $5.8050. March MGEX spring wheat futures also finished fractionally higher, moving up 0.25 cents to $5.5525, but March Kansas City HRW futures slipped 0.75 cents to $4.9175.
Ahead of Friday morning’s weekly export sales report from USDA, analysts expect the agency to show wheat sales ranging between 11.0 million and 29.4 million bushels for the week ending January 16.
IGC is now projecting 2019/20 world wheat production slightly lower, at 27.962 billion bushels – still trending 3.8% above last year’s production. Carryover stocks are also expected to rise.
Japan purchased nearly 4.0 million bushels of food-quality wheat from the U.S. and Canada in a regular tender Thursday, as expected. Of the total, 76% was sourced from the U.S.
Preliminary volume estimates were for 110,712 CBOT contracts, falling 31% below Wednesday’s final count of 159,924.

TRADE FAIR AALSMEER
We are now busy preparing for the stand at the trade fair in Aalsmeer next week.
This is an event where the breeders show their products to the buyers and foreign customers.
Always very impressive, more than 700 growers with their best products.
Trees also made us something beautiful for it, who knows we might see each other at the fair.


The Japanese magnolias were still blooming Monday, and cherry trees along Monte Sano and Wrightsboro roads appeared unfazed.
Although agriculture specialists say any freeze damage from cold weather Sunday and Monday could take days or weeks to detect, the consensus is that it just wan't cold enough.
"We're being told 28 and 29 degrees, which is not really going to hurt anything," said Sid Mullis, Richmond County director for the Georgia Extension Service.
Although late-February frost can damage emerging vegetation hastened by prematurely warm weather, no widespread damage was evident Monday, Mr. Mullis said.
"The main concern for people and yards is tender foliage, things in bloom, and I don't think anything's seriously hurt," he said. "But the jury may still be out, depending on where you live."
The low 20s, he said, is the threshold below which blooms and foliage can be hurt. Because low temperatures vary 8 to 10 degrees between Bush Field and west Augusta, there is no sure way to determine damage immediately.
Farther west, in more rural McDuffie County, Extension Service Director Frank Watson found no widespread damage to emerging crops.

CHICAGO, May 15 (Reuters) - Increases in 2015/16 U.S. corn exports are likely to be spurred by growing demand in countries like Colombia and Peru, analysts said on Friday, as sellers replace market share lost in China and elsewhere in Asia to cheaper South American supplies.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture this week said corn exports would rise by roughly 2 million tonnes to 48.26 million tonnes in the season starting Sept. 1, the second straight year of increased shipments.
“Additional demand is out there because prices are lower - a majority of buyers are more comfortable buying. That’s spread out across a lot of markets but Latin America has really picked up,” said Kurt Shultz, director of global strategies at the U.S. Grains Council, a trade group.
Corn futures at $3.65 per bushel are near five-year lows on the back of record global production.
“We are finding new markets but it will be a price battle,” said Jack Scoville, analyst at the Price Futures Group.
While U.S. corn shipments from Sept. 1 to May 7 were down 5 percent from a year ago at 28.8 million tonnes, shipments to Peru through to March, the most recently available data, were up 80 percent, according to the USDA.
The agency predicts steady shipments there next year, of more than 2 million tonnes.
Peru typically bought most of its corn from Argentina, Shultz said. But import duty incentives agreed in a 2009 trade deal kicked in last autumn, making U.S. supplies more attractive.
Shipments of U.S. corn to Colombia, where poultry production is at the highest in at least a decade, could rise to a record 4.5 million tonnes next season.
“People are switching to pork chops from rice and beans, and that will be good for every corn exporter,” said Scoville.
But cheaper corn supplies offered by Argentina, Brazil and Ukraine are undercutting the United States in South Korea and Taiwan, markets it traditionally dominated.
Taiwan bought 130,000 tonnes from Brazil, where corn prices at Paranagua port of $160 per tonne C-FOBPNG-A1 were more than $10 cheaper than prices at the U.S. Gulf Coast 2YC-USG-C1, European traders said on Friday.
China, once seen as a growth market for U.S. corn, is likely to buy less than 500,000 tonnes in 2015-16, down from 3 million tonnes in 2013-14, as a record domestic crop fills up demand.
“The market is all but closed,” a U.S. corn exporter said of China. (Additional reporting by Karl Plume; Editing by Andrew Hay)

Here are a couple of other factors to keep in mind about the legality of cannabis seeds:
State law governs if and how you can operate your cannabis growing business, and each state takes a slightly different approach. Your state may offer a large number of permits with few prerequisites, a small number of permits with an extensive application process, or something in between.
It’s Best to Shop Local, but Buying Online Is an Option
In addition to studying your state’s regulations, you should also join local cannabusiness groups and meet with a local cannabis business attorney for assistance. There is no such thing as going into the marijuana business too prepared. Once you are ready to take the step of legally buying cannabis seeds, you have a few options to choose from.
You shouldn’t have any trouble buying cannabis seeds in another state or country if it’s legal there. It’s bringing the seeds back to your home state that can get you into trouble.
If your business will include cannabis growing or cultivation, then you are probably wondering how to get your hands on weed seeds. legally. Before taking that step, though, make sure your business has the necessary license to operate legally in your state.

Riverford Farm – re-thinking the way we work together, for good!
Riverford, the award-winning organic delivery company led by the indomitable Guy Watson currently delivers more than 47,000 boxes of organic fruit and veg to customers around the UK each week. That’s quite a change from the late 1980s when he began delivering veg personally to 30 friends in Devon.
What’s the story behind the success?
Riverford has connected farmers and growers with an extensive network of local representatives who share a love of organic food and farming. This ‘conscious collaboration’ is good for the environment, good for the farmers and suppliers, good for Riverford and good for the customer. For Riverford it required re-thinking what partnership means, and taking franchising, for many a dirty word and synonymous with inequality in the business relationships and reinventing it, ensuring it was fair and transparent, and based on shared values.
a shared concern for excellence, care and stewardship of the planet…
The principles of shared concern for excellence, care and stewardship of the planet and its natural resources, and a desire to create a connection between people and farms and reduce inequality.
Key learning from Riverford:
- Identifying common interests and the shared concerns of all stakeholders provides a collaboration opportunity and ultimately acts as a platform for success
- For Riverford, re-thinking the way partnerships – in this case franchises – worked was vital for scaling up their business and meeting customer expectations.
