Seeking Albertans’ input on agriculture research
The following information was sent out to the Agriculture Community on Wednesday, January 8th, so you may have several copies in your inbox. The Alberta Seed Growers Executive met with Agriculture Minister Devin Dreeshen in August and discussed the value of regional research in relation to plant breeding, variety development, and variety performance assessments. Now the Agriculture and Forestry Ministry wants to hear directly from farmers as they decide where to decrease spending for the April budget. Research impacts many parts of your operation: basic science, plant breeding, agronomics, monitoring (pests: weeds, diseases and insects), predictive/management tools, assessing the effectiveness of ag policies, and extension of new information, use of existing infrastructure (buildings, equipment and people) are all being considered as the government works towards reduced spending. Several of the few remaining Provincial extension experts have already been ‘let-go’.
Your comments are important!
We encourage you to take the time to attend one of the meetings below. You will find the content of the meetings by clicking on the on-line survey link also provided below. You may find it helpful to review the survey prior to attending a meeting. If you are not able to attend a meeting on such short notice then please click on the on-line survey link to share your views on what research really matters to you, on your farm, or for your customers. This will be the only consultation with Alberta’s Farm Stakeholders about provincial research and it will be used to determine which programs and staff remain and which programs and staff are removed from the budget!
This is your chance to guide the development of research in the province that supports the future of agriculture.
Seeking Albertans’ input on agriculture research
January 08, 2020
The government is holding engagement sessions and launching an online survey to gather feedback about the future of agriculture research in Alberta.
“We are working with farmers to determine their research priorities. This is an opportunity to transform how we do research and attract investment from the private sector. I see world-leading agricultural research happening here, either by leveraging work happening in existing facilities or building brand new ones.”
Devin Dreeshen, Minister of Agriculture and Forestry
There are six public engagement sessions throughout the province. The government will be seeking input on:
- what farmer-led research means to Albertans
- farmer-led research priorities
- governance models for delivering farmer-led research
The online survey is open until Jan. 31.

6ASG Board Re-organization Meeting
Renee Hoyme elected as new Alberta Seed Growers board president
(Lacombe, Alberta) Feb. 26, 2019 – The Alberta Seed Growers (ASG) board of directors have elected Renee Hoyme as president and Tracy Niemela as vice-president following their annual general meeting on February 8, 2019.
“I would like to thank the board of directors for this opportunity,” said Hoyme, who previously served as ASG co-vice president for the past year. “I look forward to representing Alberta’s seed growers and working towards a bright future for our industry.”
Hoyme and her husband, Geoff, farm with her parents, Harry and Barb DeWindt, outside of Thorhild, AB. Their farm, DeWindt Farms Ltd., is a pedigreed seed and commercial grain operation. Hoyme also works for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency as an animal and seed potato inspector.
“I am honoured to serve another year as vice-president for this great organization,” said Niemela. “I will be there to support the board’s executive and represent the best interests of our membership.”
Niemela and her husband farm near Sylvan Lake with her parents, Terry and Marilyn, and other family members.
“On behalf of the ASG board of directors and members, I would also like to thank Ward Oatway for his service as our president over the past two years,” added Hoyme. “Our industry is tackling some challenging issues and Ward has been a strong leader for the education and awareness of our members and our customers. It is the voice of our members and the leadership from our board that has set our current direction. I’m confident that we are up to the task of building on solutions that benefit the entire seed industry.”
As outgoing president, Ward Oatway will remain on the executive as past-president for the next two years.

We ordered Korby Vortex sod after discussing the sod options with Kyle. He was very informative and helped us make a great selection. We have had our sod in now for three weeks and it looks wonderful. Our neighbors have commented on how nice it looks. It was growing within the first week after it was installed.

As India looks to doubling farm income by 2022, the creation of connected agri value chains is going to be an immediate priority
By Nitin Chaudhary
The agriculture industry employs around 58% of the Indian population contributing significantly to the Indian economy at around 18% of the country’s GDP. The sector is highly reliant on factors such as manpower, capital and rainfall, all of which pose a formidable challenge. As the nation looks to gear up for doubling farm income by 2022, the creation of connected agri value chains is going to be an immediate priority.
Digitalisation challenges faced by agri stakeholders
One of the key challenges in making agri value chains digital is pushing the small farmers to adapt to online platforms. While the pandemic accelerated digitalisation in the agri sector, bringing all stakeholders on a unified platform remains a challenge. Even though most farmers in the remotest parts of India have mobile phones today, absence of technical and internet literacy coupled with unreliable power supply are constraints the sector needs to work around. Further, cost of services is also an issue because farm management technologies so far are only affordable for large-scale farmers. While small farmers face the same problems as large farmers, they cannot afford to invest and thus remain left behind.
Connected agri value chains
Agricultural value chains include the distribution of goods, expertise and awareness between smallholder farmers and customers. They have an opportunity to gain added value at each point of the output, marketing, and consumption process. They aid in creating agri-entrepreneurs and catalysing the growth of the ecosystem, thereby benefiting all stakeholders. Further, digitalising facilitates networking and a well-connected and coordinated agri-value chain by removing multiple middlemen and the lack of transparency. This also solves the ‘access’ and ‘visibility’ issues with respect to the market and demand faced by farmer producer organisations (FPOs). Connecting members of the entire agri ecosystem and food supply chain, as well as continued engagement with farmers, leads to creation of multiple inputs and revenue streams for businesses. By investing in the digital agriculture ecosystem, India can support marginal farmers by providing them with a platform to voice their concerns and have these addressed in real-time.
What the future holds
In an effort to bridge the digital divide in the agri sector, agritech startups are coming up with innovations. These firms are tapping into the evolving infrastructure in regional markets, by sharing useful tips and information with farmers via SMS or helplines in their local languages. More recently, Samunnati launched Agri Elevate, a first of its kind ecosystem platform and dedicated search engine for agricultural services which helps FPOs and agri-enterprises understand how to improve their businesses.
All these initiatives are aimed at helping the agri sector become independent and self-sufficient by functioning as a single, cohesive unit. Using digitalisation as a tool to develop connected agri value chains would need more efforts, creativity and strong alliances between the Central and state governments, private players, farmers, as well as development of a regulatory framework, to ensure that technology stays affordable and available. ‘Atmanirbhar Krishi’ is not just a word but a mantra to a bright future for India’s farmer community.

Horticulture New Zealand wants 100% x-ray of passenger bags reinstated at our international airports, at least until summer ends, following yet another Queensland fruit fly detection.
For the fourth time in three years New Zealand’s $5 billion horticulture industry and all 5500 commercial fruit and vegetable growers are waiting to see how bad this detection will be.
“So far it is only one fly. And we fully support the Ministry for Primary Industries’ response to this threat,” HortNZ president Julian Raine says.
We also ask the public to back the Ministry’s efforts, especially in the exclusion zone areas, as this pest will also have big impacts on home gardeners.
HortNZ is laying the blame for this breach of our border on Australia’s inability to control the pest.
“Australia’s biosecurity protection within its own state borders is seriously breaking down.”
Just last week the residents of Adelaide were told of the second detection of Queensland fruit flies in their city in less than two months. Seven flies were found in the last detection.
“South Australia is supposed to be a Queensland fruit fly free state. Obviously the spread of this pest is out-of-control in Australia and the interstate regulators are powerless to stop its progression south.”
The Queensland fruit fly can only come from Australia and some Pacific islands, most likely via a passenger coming off a plane or on a consignment of imported fruit.
“Reinstating the 100% x-ray of passenger bags coming from across the Tasman would go a long way towards helping us improve our protection and lower this risk.
“It is not acceptable to go through this drama every summer. New Zealand horticulture deserves better protection.”
The risk to the $6 billion New Zealand horticulture industry (including fruit, vegetables and wine) from the Queensland Fruit Fly is two-fold:
- the destruction caused by the pest and the on-going cost of attempting to control it, and
- the cost of international markets closing to our products.
- Total New Zealand fruit and vegetable exports: $2.5 billion
- Total New Zealand fruit and vegetable value including domestic: $4 billion
- Total New Zealand horticulture production, including fruit, vegetables, wine, honey, flowers and seeds: $6.4 billion

While the tomato plants are doing really well, the giant sunflowers and sweet peas have yet to show. I am wondering if we will ever see anything of these, it was old seed I used (I mean around 5 years old) and so possibly it was not a good idea. Time will tell, and stil time to do something about it in a couple of weeks if there is still no show.
In the mean time, I managed to get a number of wooden seed trays off Freecycle which was rather handy. In the tray pictured here we have a mixture. You can just see the loo roles for running beans. The plastic pots have mostly Echinacea and they have yet to show, these are a mixture of old seed and new. I could have had sowed these straight outside but I like to keep them indoors in pots where I can keep a good eye on them.
The small cardboard pots we have a mixture of small sunflowers. Velvet Queen, which should be small and dark red, and Pastiche which again should be small but this time light pastle colours. These can go both in the front and the back garden.
I would like this year to be cone type flowers, anything with lots of petal and a daisy look and feel. Possibly we shall directly sow some late sweet peas to go up the fence.

First Year: Considering we have never had a garden, we started small with two raised beds.
First year was a sucess considering I am a novice at this.
Adding five new raised beds for year two.
Three foot walkway in between this time to save some room.
Bought these containers already filled for $20 off craigslist. I'm trying out some grape tomatoes in them this year.
I built this three bin composter made out of leftover fencing and some wood. This is ESSENTIAL for a good working garden.
My son gets a kick out of feeding the garden peas to the dogs!
We are very happy with the result so far. I'm always open for any comments or suggestions on improvements!


As an industrial society, our working needs and wants are satisfied by an ever-changing landscape of machinery and equipment. Every industry experiences improved technology and equipment design to make our lives easier. Lawn care is no exception. Such advances have been made in lawn and field rotary cutters that perhaps it’s time to look at the advantages of a flail mower over a rotary cutter.
The term flail comes from the agricultural industry and refers to a tool used for threshing. A flail mower consists of “Y” or “T” shaped pieces of metal, called flails, that are attached to a rotating drum. As the drum spins, the grass or brush is pulled in by the flails and thrashed. There are several advantages of a flail mower over a rotary cutter. Unlike typical rotary lawn mowers, flail mowers kick up very little debris. When a rock or other hard object is encountered, the mower bounces off the object, often with no damage. If a flail is bent, you simply replace the damaged flail rather than having to replace the entire blade as you would on a rotary cutter. Flail mowers can also easily be used at an angle or used to trim bushes and shrubbery, making them a good choice for landscaping.
Flail mowers come with different flail options as well. If you require finer cutting such as might be the case for your lawn, near a fence or around trees, a thinner blade will do the trick. If you’re tackling heavier brush or clearing a field of large stalks and weeds, a studier blade would be your choice for flail mowing. These mowers are also much quieter, producing very little noise at all.
Additional advantages of a flail mower over a rotary cutter include simple maintenance and storage. If you plan to use your flail mower in a large field, it easily attaches to a tractor. If this sounds like the new industry standard in mowing you’re looking for, it’s time to find a reputable dealer and choose the flail mower that suits your purpose and budget.

Q.Night Blooming Cereus has a bud?
My Night Blooming Cereus cutting suddenly started growing after several months of sitting and doing nothing, except growing roots, apparently. It’s a pretty big cutting consisting of two “leaves” one around a foot and the other a foot and a half long with two baby leaves growing off the bigger one. So it started growing a new stem about two weeks ago, and now I noticed what appears to be a bud growing from the larger “leaf.” Is this possible? I thought it would take two years before it would even think about having a bud. What is the chance that the bud will actually develop into a flower? If so, about how long does it take?
I have attached a picture so someone can tell me if I’m wrong. PS, I think the holes on the leave were caused by an overly-aggressive cactus it was sitting next to, but I treated it with Neem oil anyway. There don’t seem to have been any more problems of that sort.
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
That does appear to be a flowering bud. It may not make it to maturity, and had likely been forming, invisible to the eye for some time before the cutting was taken.
Let it keep going to make sure that it is not new leaf growth, as sometimes they can be hard to tell apart in the very beginning such as this.
If it does happen to be a flower, then you will want to pinch this off so that it can focus more on gaining new root growth instead of on the new flower.

Compost In The City: Here’s What This Start-Up Did
How these Austin, Texas cyclists have changed the way citizens think of trash
Instead of dumping 1.3 billion tons of food leftovers, a group of young people in Austin, Texas, decided to take things in their hands.
They united together with Compost Pedallers in order to start delivering the food waste to farmers instead of leaving it to rot in huge waste piles.
The general idea is that waste will be transported (by Compost Pedallers) to farmers, who are partners of the company. In this way, organic matter will no longer be wasted, but in fact used for composting purposes.
Such initiatives should be a lesson for other local communities too, and will hopefully inspire other people to take the matter in their hands.

COLLEGEVILLE, PA – Is one of your favorite days of the year the day the farmers’ markets open for the season?
Much-needed relief from a long, up-and-down winter will be sent on Saturday, with predicted temperatures in the 80s and, more importantly, the opening of the Collegeville Farmers’ Market.
Helping CFM launch its second season are returning vendors like the ever-popular gelato folks (Jenny & Frank’s) and first-of-the-season veggies – lettuce, swiss chard and the like – from Down Home Acres in Fleetwood.
Hand-crafted gifts, locally grown and produced artisan foods, activities for the entire family, and the music of Kendal Conrad round out the market’s 2012 debut.

It is no secret that Sikkim is an organic State but there are people who are still consuming non-organic commodities to this date. In order to encourage people to switch to organic goods and healthier produce, the Sikkim Government has decided to restrict the sale of certain non-organic agricultural and horticultural commodities. The list contains 27 items in total; some of the items on the list are maize, beans, banana, guava, etc.
Although no date for enforcement of the ban has been stated, it is likely to come into effect by March 31. Once the ban is in effect, if the 27 mentioned commodities are found in stores across the State, they will be seized and disposed of.


The search for a large-scale storage depot for straw and fodder collected to help flood-hit farmers in Somerset is under way, according to Forage Aid founder Andrew Ward.
Mr Ward, who was named Farmers Weekly Awards 2013 Farming Champion of the Year , said he had just come back from three days in Somerset and had been looking at possible sites for a new storage hub.
Sedgemoor Market has been acting as a central point for Forage Aid deliveries and collections, however the goal is to move it to an alternative base.
“The supply of fodder is OK in the short term, but it is the longer term that is the worry,” said Mr Ward.
“What we are looking for is something that is secure, is undercover and has 80,000-100,000sq ft of space. It also needs to be in an area that is not far from Sedgemoor and easily accessible by lorries.”

Mr Ward said he had been amazed at the resilience of the farmers he had met during his time down in the West Country.
But he warned the relief effort would need to go on for some time as the producers who had been flooded would have little access to grass this year, even after the waters subsided.
“It is going to be like winter for them for the next 18 months.”
Andrew Ward, Forage Aid founder
“It is going to be like winter for them for the next 18 months,” he said.
Mr Ward praised the generosity of the farmers who had donated stocks or money and the companies that had been helping out with Forage Aid deliveries.
For example, Tesco had been bringing in four to eight lorry loads of feed and straw into Sedgemoor Market each day, he said
It had also lent the expertise of a logistic manager to help improve organisation, he said.
In addition , JCB had lent three telehandlers and a Fastrac to help with the unloading of lorries while Bailey trailers had donated the use of two bale trailers.

Coffee Story: After a long and fascinating search, Rumble finally have our first natural process offering from Guatemala. Produced at Finca El Rincón by the Vides family, this coffee is a highlight of 2019 and absolutely not to be missed.
In 1958, Jorge Vides, a doctor and the patriarch of the family bought a piece of land surrounded by forests in La Libertad, Huehuetenango. It was here that he founded the family’s very first coffee farm, Finca La Bolsa, planted with Bourbon and Caturra varieties.
Back in 2002 and with little knowledge of just how good their coffee was, general manager, Maria Vides and her son Renardo Ovalle decided to submit their coffee to the prestigious Cup of Excellence competition. They did incredibly well, placing second.
This coffee will be roasted fresh for you. Rumble will roast your coffee on Wednesday and dispatch on Thursday.

When moving into our new home I removed two small quaking aspen trees. Even though the main trees are gone there are a good multiple dozen shoots that are coming up all over the lawn. How do I get rid of these for good...hopefully without ripping up my entire yard? Also my neighbors all have these aspen trees and I would like to "treat" the baby shoots coming up on my side of the fence line without damaging their trees. Is that possible?
Rate This FAQ
Unfortunately the roots of the little shoots are connected to the full-size quaking aspens in your neighbor's yard. Before you kill the little shoots, you must first sever the connecting roots. Cut them with a shovel or something so they are not connected, then you can safely spray them out with a shrub and brush killer or other broad-leaf herbicide. Make sure there is no wind, no other broad-leaf plants that will be damaged (don't spray them if they are in the middle of broad-leaf ground cover). Make sure that the temperature is below 85 degrees for 72 hours after you spray. If you have further questions you can call us at 851-8462

my boyfriend planted a josta berry plant a few years ago and I think he planted it in my septic field. It is about 8ft tall now. If I cut it back will the roots die back as well? I hate to take it out but I don’t want my septic field compromised. The plant is about 9 feet from the septic tank. Any advice?

Chinese firms ink US$5B soybean, meat import contracts with US counterparts
Around 20 Chinese and US enterprises signed Thursday, July 13, agricultural transaction contracts worth $5.012 billion, under which Chinese enterprises will import 12.53 million tonnes of soybean and 371 tonnes of pork and beef from the US companies.
Nearly 100 officials and enterprise representatives from China and the US attended the signing ceremony held in Des Moines, Iowa, Chinese state-owned news agency Xinhua reported.
Last month, China accepted the first shipment of beef from the US in 14 years, fulfilling China's pledge on the US-China "100-day action plan" to boost bilateral economic ties.
Statistics showed that trade volume between China and US reached 519.6 billion yuan (US$76.6 billion) last year, 211 times the amount when the two countries forged diplomatic ties. In 2006-2015, US goods exports to China grew 114 percent. US now has 56% of soybean exports and 15% of agricultural products exports.
US soybean shiploads destined for China in the 2016-2017 crop year was 33.79 million tonnes by May 11, 2017, higher than the 26.747 million tonnes reported in the same period of last year, or up 32.2%.
Next week an all-agricultural trade delegation from the US will visit China. The China Chamber of Commerce of Import and Export of Foodstuffs, Native Produce and Animal By-Products (CCCFNA) organised this event in cooperation with the US Soybean Export Council.
CCCFNA President Bian Zhenhu expressed confidence in the prospects of Sino-US cooperation in agricultural products. "As consumption in China upgrades, and the trade environment created by the two countries grows better, the potentials of cooperation between the two countries will be huge," he told Xinhua.

9/1/2018 – Hargol Foodtech, a startup based in Israel has today received a US$600K seed funding round from Singapore-based venture capital firm Sirius Venture Capital and Netherlands-based SLJ Investment.
The startup plans to use the latest funding to increase its production capacity in an effort to solidify its position as an international provider of alternative protein.
Founded in 2014, Hargol Foodtech pioneered sustainable grasshopper farming for consumable protein. The startup breeds grasshopper at an industrial scale, using vertical farming which employs specialized innovative cage infrastructure in climate-controlled facilities.
Following this investment deal, the Founder and Managing Director of Sirius VC Wong Hin Sun Eugene will join the Hargol’s board of directors.
According to Sustainable Brands, with the increase in African population and Asia’s new found wealth, the global demand for protein has been estimated to increase by 80 percent by 2050.
For this, Hargol said it is well-positioned to cater to the growing alternative protein market with its grasshopper supply that is bred under highly-sanitised conditions throughout the year.
“By investing in a venture that offers pioneering solutions to circumvent the foreseeable shortage in animal protein, we are generating new market opportunities while advocating new dietary habits,” said Eugene Wong.
Insect protein has various advantages over other methods of protein production. When compared to livestock farming for protein which accounts for almost one-fifth of unnatural greenhouse gas emissions, this form of alternative protein pose has high food conversion conversion rates, low water footprint, zero waste, and minimal greenhouse gas emissions.
Besides, it has a less distinctive smell and flavor, which is more palatable than algae protein. Insect protein also requires less processing, and is thus more economical to produce and made into powder form, protein bars, and other snacks.
Commenting on the deal, the CEO of Hargol Dror Tamir said, “with the investment from Sirius at such an early stage, along with the ongoing support from its management, Hargol is able to realize its vision of becoming the world’s first commercial grasshopper farm in Northern Israel in a short period of time.”
“Beyond its investment, Sirius extended to us with strategic consulting and access to its wide network of business partners, regulators, and investors,” he added.
Sirius Venture Capital mainly invest in food and beverages companies, that are involved in the areas of food production, supply chain, and consumption.
Aside from Hargol Foodtech, the startup’s portfolio also include Bangkok’s food delivery business Lalamove and United States-based food tech company Chapul that promotes edible insects as a sustainable source of protein.

Just when things were turning around for the province’s ranchers, the industry now worries that drought conditions will derail any gains.
B.C. Cattlemens Association general manager Kevin Boon says hay production for winter stocks will be down drastically in B.C., and with dry conditions also affecting the prairies, he says feed prices will likely skyrocket later this year.
Boon says the last couple of years have been good to ranchers, after more than a decade of market downturns.
But depending on how long this current drought cycle lasts, it could be the final straw for smaller operations, or aging producers who will call it quits.
At the very least, he expects many producers will have to reduce their herds.
He says cutting a herd is easy, but rebuilding one is expensive and will take many years.
Although this will increase costs to ranchers, Boon says it won’t translate to higher prices at the meat counter as beef prices are based on the global commodity market.

At the Farm Progress Show, CLAAS announced the latest enhancements made to its industry leading JAGUAR 900 Series forage harvesters.
Topping the list of 2018 upgrades is an improved cutting drum designed for longer chop lengths, optional enhancements to hydraulic feedroll compression, a cab comfort package, enhanced telematics and a completely redesigned PICK UP header. Additionally, many of the 2017 updates made exclusively to the most powerful JAGUAR models can now be found on the remainder of the 900 Series.
“The upgrades to the JAGUAR 980 and 970 last year were very significant, including enhancements to the engine, cooling system, header drive, front axle, shear bar and AUTO FILL system, just to name a few,” explains Product Manager of Self-Propelled Forage Harvesters, Matt Jaynes. “For 2018, we rounded out the rest of the 900 Series JAGUAR forage harvesters with similar enhancements, plus many other ‘goodies’ designed to improve reliability, comfort and throughput.”
The “business end” of the new JAGUAR 900 Series forage harvesters is available with an optional V-MAX Extended cutting drum that makes it easier to run half knifes for chop lengths of up to 30 mm in corn. The enhanced design allows the rings to be turned for symmetrical knife sectioning and harmonic cutting frequency that provide even smoother performance when producing SHREDLAGE corn silage – a CLAAS-exclusive feature.
Chop quality is further enhanced with optional dual hydraulic feedroll compression, using two rear cylinders for more consistent pressure. The new feature also gives operators the ability to adjust pressure settings from the comfort of the cab and lift the rolls all the way up for easy servicing.
An optional “Cab Comfort” package is now available for better visibility and quieter operation. It includes special insulation around the rear window, laminated safety glass that’s thicker than traditional glass, anti-reflection film on the windshield and floor mats. The new cabs also offer a refrigeration option for improved “cool” storage on hot summer days.
A new “Fleet View” application for iOS devices is also available to new 900 Series operators. This special application for Apple iPhones and iPads tracks the movement of JAGUAR forage harvesters, tractors and trucks to simplify the logistics end of forage harvesting for the forage harvester operator and the hauling system personnel.
Custom cutters will especially appreciate the new load counter found on the latest 900 Series. It can control the fill weights of up to three different trailer sizes.
Universal PREMIUM LINE shear bars have been an available option for JAGUAR forage harvesters for many years, but now come as part of the JAGUAR standard equipment. For long lasting durability and clean cutting performance, operators will appreciate the difference.
An additional update to the JAGUAR forage harvester is a free one-year subscription to TELEMATICS Professional – an upgrade from their Basic package – which allows users to monitor and analyze harvest data from a computer, tablet or smart phone. A three year package is also available.
PICK UP 300 & 380 CONTOUR
The CLAAS line of PICK UP headers received a number of changes designed to increase reliability, ease maintenance and improve throughput in the toughest windrows. A newly engineered double-roller crop press ensures efficient crop transfer to the intake auger in varied crop conditions. The pick-up tine bars have also been updated for less crop loss and lower maintenance costs. A new spring-loaded intake auger now features continuous flighting with two center paddles for smooth, uniform, high-volume crop flow. The drive train is updated and reinforced with a higher torque auger clutch and with an improved one-speed auger transmission (standard) or three-speed auger transmission (optional) for really high volumes.
The improved ground-following design of the PICK UP headers features reinforced gauge wheels – including a third wheel in the center of the larger PU 380 CONTOUR – and a pendulum frame that is suspended with three arms. For even better ground contour following, ACTIVE CONTOUR is standard with an electronic sensor that reads the terrain and actively adjusts the position of the head. The end result is a header with superior contour following in hilly/rough conditions that prevents leaving the ground for better picking of crop, protects the turf and generates less wear on the machine.

Please let us know if pistachio nuts work for you as well as Joyce, sounds a much more pleasant way of lowering cholesterol.
I've been outside sucking up leaves with the leaf blower. I now have 7 sacks of future leaf mould.
Farmer has been, cleaned out old hay from summer shelter with hos tractor and scraped up the mud around it down to the rock, so much limestone rock here, but sometimes it's useful. He's put 8 big round bales new hay into the winter shelter and 2 bales in the summer shelter. The horses will stay in summer quarters until we get back from Norfolk then they'll go in the winter paddock by the house, easier to keep an eye on them in winter and fill their water when it's below zero.

FAO Food Price Index declines in June for the first time in 2018
Global trade tensions have cast shadow on grain and vegetable oil quotas.
GLOBAL BASKET: The FAO's index is a measure of the monthly change in international prices of a basket of food commodities
International agricultural food commodity prices fell in June for the first time in 2018, as trade tensions affected markets even with global production prospects down.
The FAO Food Price Index averaged 173.7 points, down 1.3 per cent from its level in May.
The decline was driven primarily by lower benchmark price quotations for wheat, maize and vegetable oils including those made from soybeans.
The Food Price Index is a measure of the monthly change in international prices of a basket of food commodities.
The Cereal Price Index dropped 3.7 per cent in the month. Despite overall worsening production prospects for the main grains, there were “relatively sharp falls” in international maize and wheat prices, reflecting heightened trade tensions. Rice prices increased.
The FAO Vegetable Oil Price Index declined 3.0 per cent from May to reach a 29-month low. Palm, soybean and sunflower oil prices all declined.
Heightened trade tensions between the United States of America and its trading partners, particularly China, weighed particularly hard on the US origin export prices, led by soybeans, with the strength of the dollar exerting further downward pressure.
The FAO Dairy Price Index dropped 0.9 percent as lower price quotations for cheese – reflecting greater export availabilities in the European Union and the United States of America – more than offseting a rise in Skim Milk Powder prices.
The FAO Meat Price Index inched up 0.3 per cent from May, led by an upswing in ovine and pig meat values.
The Sugar Price Index rose 1.2 per cent, reversing six consecutive monthly declines, due mostly to concerns that dry weather in Brazil, the world’s largest sugar producing and exporting country, would negatively affect sugarcane yields and production.
FAO also updated its forecast for world cereal output this year, now pegged at 2586 million tonnes, which is 64.5 million tonnes or 2.4 per cent less than the record production of 2017.
The new forecast issued in FAO’s Cereal Supply and Demand Brief, is 24 million tonnes less than projected by FAO last month, largely reflecting lower output prospects for wheat in the European Union and for wheat and coarse grains in the Russian Federation and Ukraine.


This is a good one
regular MG potting soil has a NPK of .21 - 0.11 - 0.1
Their seedling mix has a npk of .03 .03 .03
should be fine for seedling but big no on regular MG
@garrigan62 is using MG organic on his current grow
This is what I have my seedlings in…
MG Potting soil 0.6 - 0.02 - 0.04 1 8 QT. BAG
Bat Guano ( Mexican) .5 .5 .1 Will not harm seedlings
So for 12 plants I used 3 bags of Potting Soil and 4 cups of Worm Casting and 1 cup of ( Mexican Bat Guano)
that’s MG organic potting soil?
Yes it is …
@garrigan62 got a stupid question. with the bat guano worm castings you added. you mix it in or is mostly towards the bottom.?
I mixed it all togetter. and that was a good question
Thanks for the information.
No, I haven’t planted this years crop.
Is the seedling soil I have OK? I’ve read that autos shouldn’t be transplanted.
Honestly I’d have to agree with @HornHead I like fox farms Light warrior for seedlings. Make a very good point especially with autos.
Ya that’s fine cause your breaking it down with other soil and as long it has the least amount of nutrients in it.
You should also add worm casting and bat guano ( Mexican Bat Guano ) to your mix for seedlings and you can transplant Auto’s once and when you make your soil for veg and flower phase use ( Jamaican Bat Guano ) and add it to the bottom of your pot so when your plant starts to flower the roots will be right there and loving it.
If you say it’s ok then I believe it. but I to have heard MG soil is not good for MJ so I’ve always steered clear of it. I use it outside in my landscape though
I know first hand. I had so many problems . Untill I got some Black Cow soil which is very very low in nutrients and mixed them both togetter and problem was solved I also use Pro Mix BX
I have gone as far as to mix all three togetter along with other ingredients.
Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.
No problem sir any time.
Honestly I guess I kinda take the easy route and just use the fox farm and cocoa. Seems to hold pretty well but indoors you monitor closely. I need to understand a more natural approach to my soil.
Hey …what ever works for you stay with it…
Yes. You should first continue to look for a quality out door soil.
Then absolutely use nutes. I did ILGM autos in Happy Frog outdoor/green house. I built a super soil for nutrients but also used guano tea and some Roots Oganics Buddah Bloom during flower.
pH is very imortant. Even though ILGM autos a machines and just do there thing they benefit from good soil , environment , and nutrients
Once you figure out which direction you wanna go , fill out a support ticket
With some more info and the community here can keep you goin in the right direction and on the road to some nice lil high yieldin Widows!!

Welcome to Masia De Capserri, "The House of the Jagged Tooth"
We searched many areas before finally deciding to settle here in this beautiful, unspoilt and undiscovered part of Spain. We are surrounded by beautiful mediaeval villages and truly spectacular scenery, nestling in the shadow of El Port Nature Reserve. The local economy is still primarily driven by olive and almond production and has changed little over the centuries, with local farmers maintaining and tending their land and trees with great care. Our farm rests on ancient terraces overlooked by the spectacular La Mola table top mountain.
THE GREAT FIRE
Our story really begins after a great fire in 2012 which swept up the valley and destroyed most of our forest and a good proportion of our olive and almond trees. Since then we have been on a programme of extensive replanting and land restoration. So far we have planted over 600 new trees. The old farmhouse needed to be knocked down, saving all the stone and tiles for the construction of the new house.
Our journey is one of learning and experimentation. We work our land in harmony with the environment, embracing traditional planting methods and ecological principles. We are passionately committed to the guardianship of our land for future generations.

While growing up in rural New York, I had the privilege of working with my brother-in-law on his small dairy farm. He is gone now, and so is his farm. But, I do recall being there when he would open the barn door to allow his small herd to go outside for the very first time in the spring, after being cooped up in a stanchion during those long winter months. Much to my surprise, they cows would rush through the door and as soon as they got outside, they would kick up their heels as to say…wow, this weather is really nice. They knew greener pastures were right in front of them.
I don’t know about you folks, but I am starting to feel much like those Holsteins did. This winter seems to be longer than usual. It started with cold damp weather in November, and December brought cold snowy weather that has remained into March. It looks like a full 5 months of winter, and I know it is only supposed to be 3.
Well, I am truly looking forward to greener “pastures”, as spring is soon to grace us with its presence here in the North. Planting has started in the South, and greenhouses around the country are filled with flower and vegetable transplants. My brother says his radishes are up in his garden in South Texas, but mine will have to wait for another few months. Then, we all can kick up our heels.

The ZIBO weed wiper consists of an idle pipe, wrapped in special sheeting. A rotating roller achieves greater capacity and avoids dripping points. This means the rotating weed wiper can also be used on grown crops.
The version with an operating width of 3 metre has 1 rotating boom. The version with an operating width of 6 metre has 3 rotating 2-metre long booms and is foldable. A rotating roller achieves greater capacity and the wiping is therefore not row-dependent. The amount of moisture for each roller can be regulated from the cabin. A standard feature of the rotating weed wiper is the hydraulic levelling facility that keeps the roller horizontal.
|ON02001||3 metre version, with hydraulically rotating roller (3 metre)|
|ON02002||6 metre version, with mech. rotating rollers (3 x 2 metre)|
|ON0701||6 metre version, with hydr. rotating rollers (3 x 2 metre)|

CSA Harvest June 20 & 23
Ahh, the sunshine! We are welcoming these warm sunny days wholeheartedly, and so are the cucumbers, zucchinis and summer squash! The zukes and squash hit a slow patch in the cool rainy spring, and are just starting to make a comeback. The cucumbers are happier, though, trellised in a hoop house that keeps them warmer, and it’s looking like the first harvest could be as early as Thursday!
This next week is looking like one of transition, and Monday and Thursday’s shares may be slightly different because of that. While we like to add variety to each share, we also want to highlight the seasonality of eating in Vermont. Each week is a celebration of the season we are in, and we appreciate both the steadiness of familiar harvests as well as the excitement of new crops.
Here’s the projected harvest list for next week:
- Mesclun mix
- Bunching onions
- Beets (red and golden)
- Kale or Chard
- Herbs: mint, chives, oregano
- Flowering pac choi / cucumbers*
The last item will be based on availability, and may not show up in both days’ shares. Not to worry, though! If you don’t get cucumbers this week, they will be here the next!
We are excited to announce a cooking workshop at Good Heart, led by Lisa Masé of Harmonized Cookery! Join us to cook and savor the summer’s bounty. Gain cooking tips, recipes and learn about the health benefits of the vegetables in your CSA share. “Cooking Your Share” will be held on the farm on Tuesday, July 19th from 6:00-7:30, with dinner provided. $25/person, limited to 15 participants. More information and sign-ups are on our website here:https://goodheartfarmstead.com/special-events/ You can learn more about Lisa and her offerings on her website Harmonized Cookery.
The Good Heart Cookbook is in it’s final stages of editing! We are so excited about what Suzanne Podhaizer of Farm to Table Consulting has put together for us. Her experiences as a chef, home cook, and writer all come together to serve you a very pleasing read that will make you want to start cooking right away! Until the printing, we’ll continue to hand out recipe cards at the pick-ups.
The Farm Stand is open Friday and Saturday 9:00-5:00. In the stand this weekend:
- Baby beets
- Mini lettuce heads
- Mesclun mix
- Arugula bunches
We hope you all have a lovely weekend!
In Good Heart,
Katie and Edge
