Agriculture in the Westlands Water District is a contentious issue. Farming in a desert and growing particularly water-intensive crops like almonds and pistachios requires pumping groundwater and taking water from less arid regions. Groundwater supplies can only go so far before the land subsides in a serious way, and what happens during a widespread drought when historically wet regions need all the water they produce? Lawsuits, multi-billion dollar water tunnel projects, potential harm to threatened species, and taxpayers paying for the wealthy to remain so. Read highlights below from Bettina Boxall’s article in the LA Times, or read the full article here.
Westlands and its wealthy farmers are exercising their considerable clout to maintain a flow of cheap water from the north despite a harsh truth. In all of California, there may be no worse place to practice the kind of industrial-scale irrigated agriculture that Westlands is famous for than the badly drained, salt-laden lands that make up roughly half the district.
Westlands has persevered for decades by battling other farmers for supplies, repeatedly suing the U.S. government and spending millions of dollars trying to roll back environmental restrictions on water deliveries — all while planting lucrative nut crops that can’t survive a season without water.
Now it is a driving force behind the most ambitious water project proposed in California in decades, the $25-billion plan to send Sacramento River supplies south to Westlands and elsewhere through two giant water tunnels burrowed under the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
The water would help Westlands for a time. But the expensive tunnels would merely delay the inevitable: The more Westlands is irrigated, the more its land will be ruined.
A half-century ago, boosters predicted that thousands of small family farms would blossom with the arrival of federal water. That vision never materialized. The few scruffy little towns within Westlands’ borders struggle with chronically high unemployment and poverty.
Large tracts were broken up to meet federal acreage limits on the delivery of taxpayer-subsidized water, but the cropland was often spread among extended family members and their trusts. Though Westlands at various times has said it serves 600 or 700 farms, University of California researchers in 2011 found that there were 350 farm networks “grouped by common ownership.
In what critics complain is the latest example of the district’s political influence, the Reclamation Bureau is proposing to let Westlands off the hook for $360 million it still owes U.S. taxpayers for construction of its portion of the Central Valley Project. The move would be part of a deal to resolve a lingering legal fight over the broad swath of the district that is badly drained and laced with salts.
Growers served by Westlands boast that they have adjusted to shrinking supplies by adopting highly efficient irrigation practices. But they are also planting more profitable, permanent crops, leaving farms increasingly vulnerable to water shortages. District records show that the amount of almond and pistachio acreage has jumped sevenfold in the last two decades.

Senators Prod USDA for Pandemic Payments to Contract Growers
By Chuck Abbott, Successful Farming
Agriculture.com - 6/8/2021
Ten weeks ago, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack restarted the USDA’s coronavirus relief program for farmers and ranchers. But payments to contract growers, the farmers who produce hogs, poultry, and eggs under contract for the owner of the animals, remain on hold and lawmakers from poultry states are getting impatient.
“We respectfully request that the department expedite the rule-making process to administer direct payments to contract chicken growers,” said 17 senators and 44 representatives in a letter to Vilsack. “We are concerned by the fact that these chicken growers still have not received federal assistance since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.” The letter was organized by the Senate Chicken Caucus; Sen. Chris Coons, from President Biden’s home state of Delaware, is a co-chair.
Congress authorized payments to contract growers of hogs, poultry, and eggs as part of the $900 billion coronavirus package enacted in December 2020. The Trump administration said in early January that those producers were eligible for a combined $1.98 billion if they suffered a loss in revenue due to market disruptions and COVID-19 outbreaks at processing plants. Payments were put on hold as part of a government-wide freeze in late January by the incoming Biden administration on recently issued regulations.
Vilsack unveiled the rebranded...

Members of the GRAS gene family are important transcriptional regulators. In this study, 21 GRAS genes were identified from tobacco, and were classified into eight subgroups according to the classification of Arabidopsis thaliana. Here, we provide a preliminary overview of this gene family in tobacco, describing the gene structure, gene expression, protein motif organization, phylogenetic analysis, and comparative analysis in tobacco, Arabidopsis, and rice. Using the sequences of 21 GRAS genes in Arabidopsis to search against the American tobacco genome database, 21 homologous GRAS genes in tobacco were identified. Sequence analysis indicates that these GRAS proteins have five conserved domains, which is consistent with their counterparts in other plants. Phylogenetic analyses divided the GRAS gene family into eight subgroups, each of which has distinct conserved domains and biological functions. Furthermore, the expression pattern of these 21 GRAS genes reveals that most are expressed in all six tissues studied; however, some have tissue specificity. Taken together, this comprehensive analysis will provide a rich resource to assist in the study of GRAS protein functions in tobacco.


Sunshine, green grass and beautiful flowers! Just what 49 Wisconsinites wanted to see at the beginning of their Hawaiian Farm Tour. I’ll be posting and sharing some of my conversations with the agriculture specialists we had a chance to visit across all three of the Hawaiian Islands we covered. First up was Oahu and the city of Honolulu. Home to more than a million citizens – it looks like any other big city, until you get out of town. Then, you’ll notice red colored soil and wide open spaces. That’s where several large agribusiness companies have set up various research facilities and plant breeding facilities. Joe Para, operations manager for Monsanto, spent some time with the group explaining how research in Hawaii works and answering questions from the group on everything from water management to working with neighbors.


The colors of fall in BC are not those of the East. Trees do their best to change foliage, but with so many evergreens around, it’s a loosing battle.
There are, however, other treats to be found by curious eyes. Autumn is cranberry harvest time, BC being the second biggest cranberry producer in North America.
Cranberries are cultivated mostly in Richmond where the close proximity of the Fraser River allows massive use of water. The cranberries are grown in large fields (or bogs) which are then flooded at harvest time. The brushes are shaken manually or mechanically and the berries, separated from the plants, simply… float up to the surface where they form the most extraordinary fields of red.
They are then gathered and collected, a process which I witnessed a few days ago. The camera went wild. Those men slowly plowing through waist deep water in a red sea of berries are quite an amazing sight.
I had been waiting for this season to come since early last spring; here is the result of my patience…

Well what's up 420 fam!! I'm new to this whole growing thing. But I'm going to start an outdoor grow here in so cal. by july 18th they will be transplanted to a 7 gallon smart pot and put outdoors. the spot I'm placing is getting about 14-15/10-9 of sunlight to darkness. roughly. I'm afraid they'll go right into flowering. If you also believe that I have a light that is a solar light and it go from 35 watts for 10 hours or 70 watts for 6, would this work? or what would work to keep them in veg for a couple months?


Castillo de Canena is a family whose tradition in making extra virgin olive oils dates back to 1780. The olive oil takes its name from the family castle that the Vañó family has in Jaén, in south of Spain.
Under an organoleptically point of view, Castillo de Canena EARLY HARVEST oils have more personality, they are greener and more fruity, ideal as finishing oils and for foodpairing.
There is no other extra virgin olive oil in the world working with so many star Michelin and top chefs as Castillo de Canena does.
Castillo de Canena early harvest olive juices are grown-up in a very specific area which helps to obtain high quality oils, not only under an organoleptically point of view, but also under a healthy point of view. Castillo de Canena state has the right altitude (400-600 meters high), the right composition of soil (majority limestone), the right climate and of course the right cares to obtain a balanced juice, high in polyphenols and antioxidants. These components are considered by the scientific world as the responsible for the benefits in health.


Q.Can Tomatoes Grow on My South of France Back Terrace?
I live in the south of France where it gets very hot. I have just moved to a new house in town and I have a little north facing balcony which is right next to the kitchen and which I think I could use the extra dishwater to water a few vegetables. There are buildings all around on which the sun will reverbarate and a glass roof which will let the high summer sun come down (maybe 4 hours of direct sunlight).
The space is quite small (1. 5 m2) but am thinking why not use this space. A few tomatos, maybe green beans and some lettuce? Any ideas? I do have a big roof terrace but past owners have told me that it gets so hot that you have to water constantly. Maybe someone has some advice?
Thank you Ann, that's lovely advice, I love the idea of growing herbs as i use so many in cooking. I'll try the little patio tomatoes and look out for the polymers. I'll have to find the french names of course but that shouldn't be too difficult! take care, Joanna
Growing a few vegetables or herbs would be a wonderful thing! I'm not sure you should use the "wash" water that will have soap and grease in it, but the "rinse" water is very usable. When choosing tomatoes for your north balcony, consider a "patio" or more compact variety. (Eventhough the fruits are smaller in size, the number on the plant is greater.) Growing on the roof terrace would be a great place for vegetables, especially the ones that love heat, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers...
If the soil on the terrace isn't holding enough moisture, you can add a polymer that absorbs water and stores it until the plants need it. (one of the commercial names is "Terrasorb", and one of the consumer names is "Soil Moist). It is a benign substance, and has no fertilizer in it. We use it in containers that need extra moisture, just use it according to package directions.

Saare Asset, Kolda, Senegal
Asset means Saturday in Pulaar. We asked if the village was created on a Saturday, but only got laughs. Saare Asset is the second pump site in the cluster of small villages surrounding Saare Samba Thika. Saare Asset is slightly larger than the others with a total of 152 community members.
The 68 women of this village work on a 2-hectare community garden where they grow immaculate okra, hibiscus, and hot peppers. They spend the early morning hours watering their garden, come home to cook lunch and then start the watering process all over again.
Saare Asset and Saare Samba Thika are within walking distance from each other and in many ways a part of the same big family. The two villages intermarry, adopt each other’s farming and cow-raising techniques and sometimes even have community meetings together. Though they seem similar in many ways the culture of Saare Asset is slightly different.
Saare Asset has a good number of boys who go into Kolda to study during the year, come back to work for summer break and to be with their families for Ramadan. This, among other things, seems to make community motivation slightly stronger.
Saare Asset is genius when it comes to using their resources. They have two pulley systems set up that have a bucket attached to each end of the rope. When they are emptying one bucket, simultaneously the second bucket is filling; this cuts the onerous task of pulling water in half. Saare Asset is on the horizon of expanding their garden. They have almost saved enough money to expand their fence an extra hectare and with that in mind, the hand pump will help save a lot of time.
The 68 members of the community garden and their families will benefit from the pump.

The replication of the process in neighboring villages is valuable for the proliferation of the technology and will lead to sustainability.

Only delivered a half roster of bags today as there was a gap in products. It all went well as there are starting to be quite a few berries. Another helper has arrived today, so it will be a whirlwind of activity over the next few weeks until they all disappear on August 12th or so. I think by then the garden should be in great shape, several crops such as potatoes and garlic and some onions will be harvested, and I will coast into late summer and early fall looking good. Hope to attack blackberries all around the edges here with any spare time or energy. Hot weather ahead, so hope those darn tomatoes ripen!


Springtime & Passover
Sunday we tried to play catch up in the garden, and I continued for four hours on Monday. Things are still pretty behind, and we had some casualties. The peach tree looks pretty damn dead.
We did manage to plant a bunch of veggies, we put in lettuce, broccoli, eggplant, zucchini, red pepper, yellow pepper, basil, sage, lavender. Today I got the Canna in and divided and planted all the Dahlia bulbs in starter pots.

The Sunshine Kitchen’s produce garden and greenhouse are located in the park, not far from the cafe, and our soups are made from the seasonal vegetables that we grow there including squash, leeks, kohlrabi, onions, spinach, herbs and more. The final day of our cafe in 2023 will be Wednesday 13th December and we will re-open from Monday 8th January.


St George’s Day; traditionally the start of the asparagus season. Eight crowns were the first things we planted in our raised bed early last year, along with a couple of unpromising looking slabs of rhubarb. This year we anxiously waited for the spears to break through the earth; letting us know the crowns have survived. Since then we’ve been eagerly monitoring their progress. Although still very much in their infancy, tonight we will celebrate the new season by harvesting one of the strongest spears, steaming it gently before slathering with butter.

… Not my mind. I’ve just had the allotment association on the telephone. The landowner wants to evict five (?) plot holders to make way for a large mulching and compost area with tractor access. That would mean my area and four other plots including the huge pone in the middle of the walked garden allotment.
The more I think about it, the more I think this is a really bad idea. Not just because I am affected, but because it will take up the majority of the centre of the allotment: prime area. And it will also affect my neighbours. It will affect most people in the allotment.
I will have to say no and oppose the request.
I am meeting to talk about it with the other directly affected allotment owner(s) sometime this month. These talks will continue, and will be brought up at the annual general meeting.


You have no items in your shopping cart.
This single light started it all. The Supernova LED was once featured on the cover of High Times Magazine, as well as other related magazines. It was at one time the most revolutionary plant lighting since the inception of High Pressure Sodium lamps and now it is even better. This well known grow light consumes only 90 watts of power and produces very little heat. This LED will function to help your plants exceed expected growth rates with a 400W HPS. No setup is required for this system, simply plug and grow.
With the updated design the new UFO offers the ability to independently customize the light intensities for blue and red with an enhanced spectrum of light. Now using three colors of red and three of blue, the wide spectrum allows your plants to do their best regardless of the growing phase. These lights are ideal for any application including hydroponics or soil, in home or a greenhouse.
While this light basically sales itself, the features are important to understand. The LED UFO uses high efficiency 1W LEDs, but only uses necessary light spectrums for optimal plant growth. The wide angle directional bulbs guarantee that all the light is pointed at your garden without the use of reflective material. This single light can last for up to 80,000 hours to keep your garden at its best.
The affordably priced LED UFO includes the light, ballast, 6 foot Edison plug, hanging hardware, and a 12 foot cord to the ballast. Also standard is the three thermostatically controlled whisper fans to keep the light at a safe and comfortable temperature. The LED UFO comes with a standard three year guarantee, one year full coverage and two years prorated.

Our team of professionals offers personalized, customized services to meet your supply chain needs.
What is the supply chain?
In commerce, a supply chain is a system of organizations, people, activities, information, and resources involved in supplying a product or service to a consumer. Supply chain activities involve the transformation of natural resources, raw materials, and components into a finished product that is delivered to the end customer. In sophisticated supply chain systems, used products may re-enter the supply chain at any point where residual value is recyclable. Supply chains link value chains.
Traceability in agricultural supply chains
Many agribusinesses and food processors source raw materials from smallholder farmers. This is particularly true in certain sectors, such as coffee, cocoa and sugar. Over the past 20 years, there has been a shift towards more traceable supply chains. Rather than purchasing crops that have passed through several layers of collectors, firms are now sourcing directly from farmers or trusted aggregators. The drivers for this change include concerns about food safety, child labor and environmental sustainability as well as a desire to increase productivity and improve crop quality.

The Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS) is holding a Last Acre Ceremony for the Northwest Ten county project, the final project to complete soil survey coverage of the entire State. While a “last acre” ceremony is typical upon completion of a county’s soil survey, this one stands out above the rest as the final push was a 10-county project to finish the entire State. The Northwest-10 received cooperative state funding through the Land Information Program (WLIP) in 1999 in order to accelerate progress.
The ceremony will be held in the Lac Courte Oreilles Convention Hall, connected to the LCO Casino just southeast of Hayward, WI. Confirmed guests include Don Fehrenbacher, Ken Lubich and John Hempel, our current and two former State Soil Scientists, as well as Congressman Dave Obey and State Representative Mary Williams. Dave Hvizdak, the Soil Survey Coordinator in Spooner, is handling details for a ceremony that runs from 9:00 AM until 12 Noon and includes demonstrations, commentary by local leaders, and an Ojibwe closing ceremony.
This ceremony foreshadows a larger planned ceremony, potentially slated for the State Capitol, in recognition of completed statewide soil mapping that will likely occur in summer, 2006.

Rice millers meet Shanta Kumar with suggestions for restructuring of FCI
The All India Rice Miller Association (AIRMA) has sought transparency in procurement, storage and distribution of foodgrains, reducing huge losses in storage and transportation and weeding out corruption in restructuring of the Food Corporation of India (FCI).punjab Updated: Nov 30, 2014 18:15 IST
The All India Rice Miller Association (AIRMA) has sought transparency in procurement, storage and distribution of foodgrains, reducing huge losses in storage and transportation and weeding out corruption in restructuring of the Food Corporation of India (FCI).
An AIRMA delegation led by its president Tarsem Saini met Member of Parliament (MP) Shanta Kumar, the chairman of the High Power Restructuring Committee formed by the BJP government for restructuring the FCI, with their demands.
During the meeting, AIRMA members said it was the high time that while recommending the restructuring of FCI, the aspect of introducing computerised electronic technology in analysis of foodgrains in FCI operations at the time of procurement, storage and distribution should be looked into by the restructuring committee.
"The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) may be advised to recommend these instrumental techniques for the analysis of foodgrains," they said.
"The FCI procures foodgrains as per uniform specifications and by following the BIS, which is outdated. The FCI follows the old manual procedure for physical as well as chemical analysis of foodgrains. The human discretion and error in analysis of foodgrains as per the BIS methodology sometimes leads to corruption in the FCI at the time of procurement, storage and distribution," said Saini.
Thus the committee must recommended the use of latest electronic computerised machines like moisture meters, protein analysers, seed counting machines, rice whiteness testing machines etc for physical and chemical analysis of foodgrains to eliminate chances of human error and discretion by officials.
"This will promote efficiency in the quality control system of the FCI and eliminate corruption. Moreover, the consumers will get better quality of foodgrains from the FCI depots," said Saini.
Saini pointed towards shortcomings in the weighing of stocks by the FCI, which led to losses to government and rice millers. "Various agricultural universities in the country are introducing new hybrid seeds almost every year, but the rice specifications of these varieties are not separately taken into consideration. Thus the committee should take note of this that specifications must come with verities," he said.
The rice millers also raised the demand of construction of modern silos near mandies for the storage of wheat stocks to reduce the cost of transportation and jute bags, besides they also sought overhauling of the FCI distribution system.
Saini said the stocks of foodgrains should be issued to the beneficiaries on six-monthly basis instead of monthly-basis through the government-owned shops instead of depots of state agencies to curtail the storage and maintenance charges.
The rice millers also urged the government to consider their suggestion while framing the annual procurement policy of rice and wheat crops.

No-Waste Loader Bucket
The company recently began importing the Parmiter "Shear Grab" from England where it has been used for several years. It neatly cuts blocks of silage, leaving a sealed silage face. A pair of hydraulic cylinders power a front blade and two side blades down through the silage while steel tines on the bottom of the bucket hold the load steady.
"It clamps silage tightly in the bucket, reducing spillage to virtually nothing," says Provost. "The three knives have unbelievable pressure. They cut no matter how hard the feed is packed. When you go into a pile of silage with a conventional bucket loader, you loosen up a lot of silage that the bucket doesn't take. This exposes the silage to air and causes it to ferment. The Shear Grab doesn't loosen up any other silage so there's virtually no spoilage. It also works well for loading out of silage bags. When you push into silage bags with a conventional bucket, feed falls away from the bucket whereas the Shear Grab hangs onto everything it touches. It takes less than half a minute to load and unload a bucketfull of silage."
According to Provost, the Shear Grab can cut right through round bales. "We've used the Shear Grab to cut round bales into thirds and dump them into mixer wagons. The small bale portions cause less pressure on the mixing auger than is caused by an entire bale. It allows you to use round bales in your mixer wagon to make a total mixed ration."
Four pins attach the Shear Grab to the loader - two on the arms and two on the dump cylinder.
Four models are available for tractors ranging from 30 to 150 hp. Load capacity ranges from 760 to 2,200 lbs. and blocks cut range in size from 41 in. wide, 24 in. high and 30 in. deep to 75 in. wide, 32 in. high and 32 in. deep. Rear-mounted models are also available.
The models sell for $2,600 to $5,000.

Bunge acquires stake in Phu My Port
October 16, 2008
by Eric Schroeder
SINGAPORE — Bunge Asia, the Asian operating arm of Bunge Ltd., has acquired a 50% stake in the owner/operator of Phu My Port. According to Bunge, the investment provides it with "greater opportunity to serve customers in the growing market for agricultural commodities in Vietnam." As part of the transaction, Bunge will acquire SSI Logistics, the French subsidiary of France’s state-owned SSI/EMC Group. SSI Logistics owns a 50% stake in Baria Serece, the owner/operator of Phu My Port, which is located on the Thi Vai river near a large number of commercial feed mill operations. It is the only commercial dry bulk port in Vietnam capable of receiving large, Panamax-class ships. The announcement comes four years after Bunge secured exclusive access to Phu My Port for shipments of agricultural commodities. Bunge said the acquisition will enable it to invest alongside its partners to expand the operation’s capacity and traffic by adding new storage facilities and more efficient discharging equipment. In addition, Bunge is developing plans to construct a soybean processing plant within the site as well.

Americans love their lawns, and they love them so much that they even have proclaimed April as the National Lawn Care Month just to remind everybody of the importance of a properly-cared-for lawn. Loving one’s lawn is an Anglo-Saxon thing after all, with the Brits also being constantly mocked for their national obsession with green turfgrass.
According to a Harris Poll survey published by the National Association of Landscape Professionals in 2015, 83% of Americans agree that having a lawn or a backyard is important. Most respondents were also aware that a properly tended lawn is good for both their and their family’s health, their community, and the economy.
Per the said poll, 91% of Americans agree that having great landscaping in their neighborhood can help their home prices shoot through the roof and 81% unveiled that a good-looking yard can dramatically influence their decision to buy a property, or not.
The National Association of Landscape Professionals also found that even your neighbors (71%) care about living next to a house with a well-maintained lawn or backyard; and surprisingly, Millennials (75%) – one of the most entitled and lazy generations ever to roam this beautiful planet, love to spend their free time in a nicely tended yard.
Getting Your Lawn Back in Shape
With these stats in mind, our lawn care Lebanon OH experts want to lend a helpful hand to the confused homeowner whose old love for green grass has just been rekindled but they don’t know where to start.
April is a great month for trying to get your lawn to gently wake up after the winter slumber. Now is the time to get rid of the pesky crabgrass (if any), start regular weeding routine, prepare the lawn mower for the summer, and raking – no matter how appalling that idea might seem.
Crabgrass might look innocent, but its effects on a (new) lawn can be everlasting. As each plant can generate around 150,000 new seeds every single year, the plant is very prolific. In spring, crabgrass seeds start germinating, and those that have failed yielding a new generation of pesky plants will wait for the next year to do it. As a result, if left unaddressed, your crabgrass issues can multiply ad infinitum, wreaking havoc on the looks and long-term health of your lawn.
Fortunately, there are some solutions to stop crabgrass seed germination in its tracks, such as crabgrass preventers, which can keep your lawn crabgrass-free up to half a year while providing the good grass with enough nutrients to thrive.
However, make sure that you carefully follow label instructions when applying these products and that the timing is right. Our lawn care Lebanon OH professionals can be of great help here.
In April, you can also start raking your yard even if you did all the hard work of raking in the fall. Raking in the spring comes with plenty of benefits:
- Getting rid of new yard debris;
- Helping with the removal of dead turfgrass tissue, which can become unhealthy if it becomes too thick;
- Helping prepare the lawn for seeding, as those thick clumps of grass that popped up in wintertime can become a real problem when seeding.

In a major reprieve to sugarcane growers of Punjab, chief minister Parkash Singh Badal on Sunday announced to clear arrears of farmers that amount to Rs 148.5 crore, for the crushing season 2013-14, within one week.
It may be recalled that of the Rs 464 crore on account of total cost of sugarcane purchased by the state cooperative mills, Rs 250.5 crore had already been cleared by these mills and Rs 38 crore had been paid by the state government from its treasury, besides Rs 27 crore by the state cooperative bank under the central government's free loan scheme. Now, Rs 148.5 crore remained.
A spokesperson said Badal asked the chief secretary and the finance department to ensure instant payment for sugarcane procured in future, as in the case of wheat and paddy.
Also, the CM asked the social security and welfare departments to clear all pending payments on account of financial assistance under various schemes.

The rain in January 2016 augured well for autumn at Wirrabilla.
Despite the presence of an El Nino weather pattern, we had been feeling confident about the season ahead of us. What a difference a couple of months can make – we are now feeding stock and selling weaners early.
We are not the only ones to be struck by the unreliability of the current long range weather forecasts. Oxley in The Land under the heading Farmer claims ‘best El Nino yet’ recently noted:
‘The reliability of weather predictions was a popular topic …..[one farmer] said of the wonderful January rain through the district, which recharged his soil profiles – “whatever the predictions last year, this is the best El Nino I have ever experienced”. Oxley is now understandably nervous of the La Nina prediction.’
The Land Newspaper, March 6, 2016.
It seems Oxley had good reason to be nervous. Just as the Bureau of Meteorology said the El Nino was dissipating and regions could expect above average rainfall, the rain has all but dried up.

Ceralti - Bolgheri Superiore Alfeo 2014 Ml. 750
From 12 to 18 months
Ceralti's great passion for viticulture is also encouraged by the territory, its micro-climate and its geographic location. These ingredients create a unique combination of positive factors. 9 hectares of vineyards, mainly situated on the hills between Castagneto and Bolgheri, the homeland of many world famous wines. Grapes are hand-picked and processed both through traditional methods and modern vinification techniques. 6200 plants per hectare, that are grown using either a running system or a guyot. The plants' low yield is not only related to the density of the plantation, but rather to the nature of the soil, that may cause thinning grapes.
The different phases of the process are followed by the company's managers, Walter Alfeo, a skilled, experienced agronomist and his son Iacopo, who is both an agronomist and enologist. Together they are a warrant for the quality of the whole supply chain.
The company boasts a long experience in the field of wine production. In 1997, Ceralti produced the first Bolgheri Rosso DOC, bottled after ageing in barriques. The company has also peach orchards and secular olive trees, producing high-quality extra-virgin oil from pitted/unpitted olives. Ceralti is presently setting up some additional olive trees for experimental cultivations. New vineyards are also being planted, including some clones of local grapes, in cooperation with the Arezzo Experimental Reseach Centre for Viticulture.

We would love to keep our momentum going and welcome you to join us for our next Garden day on Monday, October 11th (a great way to recognize the holiday!). Unless we are all celebrating rain, we’ll be there from 9:30-1:30 pm, weeding and leveling out a few small areas. And welcoming all ideas and advice :)
We encourage volunteers to dress accordingly for our windy, hillside garden. We have gloves, tools and bottled water available, but if you have garden tools or a water bottle you’d like to use, please bring them along.
Looking forward to gardening with you soon!


HAMBURG: Pakistani importers have recently purchased about 70,000 tonnes of canola (rapeseed) to be sourced from Canada or Australia, European traders said on Wednesday.
A full vessel consignment of about 50,000 tonnes was purchased for January shipment which can be sourced from Canada or optionally Australia, they said.
Another 20,000 tonne part load was also purchased for January shipment and was likely to be sourced from Canada, they said.
Pakistan has been reducing imports of rapeseed/canola this year in favour of soybeans.
Pakistani importers have also purchased about 40,000 tonnes of soymeal from Argentina, European traders said.
The soymeal is for shipment in December 2015 to January 2016, traders said.
Pakistan has been producing more of its own soymeal this year following a rise in soybean imports and has even started some soymeal exports.

Combining corrugated steel panels with wood can make a great raised bed for your homestead.
Raised beds offer advantages to growing vegetables and other foods. Soil in the raised beds dries out and warms up quicker for an earlier start in the growing season. They make planting, weeding, and harvesting easier on your back. Below I discuss a cost-effective method that I use to extend the lifespan of raised beds.
Most raised beds are constructed with lumber. However, the downside to only using lumber is that it comes into direct contact with the moist soil, preventing longevity of the beds. Galvanized corrugated roof panels (Figure 1) can last anywhere between 25-60 years when used in standard roofing application. The galvanized steel is durable and rust-resistant. The panels are relatively light when corrugated, too. Raised beds built with these materials can last approximately 15 years.
Typical raised beds (10"-12") can use 2' x 2' lumber or even 2' x 4' cut in half. IF using halved 2' x 4' and it's not true dimensional rough-cut lumber, the measurement will be closer to 2' x 1.75' (Figure 2). I purchased the steel panels for $15 each. There are different ways to save on these types of materials. For lumber, get scraps from construction projects or even cut boards from fallen trees on your property. Get some steel panels from reclaimed barn roofs or from residential roof jobs.
As you can see above in figure 2, I ran out of steel corrugated panels and used scrap PVC panels on one short side. It may not last as long on that side. however it saved me from buying a whole panel to only use a quarter of it. Building 2'-3' or higher beds with just lumber, or even just masonry, will quickly multiply the expense and labor. This hybrid method produces the affordability to build for height or massively reduces the cost of a standard raised bed.
Corrugated steel panels measure eight feet, ten feet, and 12 feet. Thicker corrugated panels reduce the need for a supporting structure. The beds in figure 2 were constructed with a thinner, wavy corrugated panel. (8 feet long) Some beds are constructed entirely from steel, although they may lose the aesthetic appeal of wood. Examples of these bed can be found here and here.
It's important to have a well thought-out plan for raised beds because they become almost impossible to rearrange, correct, or move once they are built, positioned, and filled. Please contact us if you need help planning, designing, or building your bed arrangement and other growing systems.
Whether you prefer taller raised beds for gardening ergonomics or you plan on using the taller beds for Hugelkultur. Constructing your beds in this manor may save you time and resources while achieving your gardening build goals. In future posts we will further investigate other types of raised beds, for example, earthbag, cord wood, and more.

Grain markets seek guidance
Barley continues to find its way into feedlots.
Grain markets continue to seek guidance from our global counterparts while local markets remain subdued with lack of interest on both the buyer and grower selling sides. While the USDA have just about caught up on their reports from the Government shutdown, technical selling, an increasing US carryout and the unknown surrounding the outcome and timing of any US/China deal, continue to weigh on Chicago Board of Trade Wheat Futures. Despite a small rally mid last week they lost ground to finish the week in the red.
Domestically, barley continues to find its way into feedlots posing better value while it maintains a $40+ spread to wheat. Similarly it is seeing more interest on the buyside as some consumers extend their coverage into the middle of the year. After a slow start, Newcastle and Port Kembla track markets picked up a few dollars later in the week. However barley markets continue to wait on the Saudi tender to provide a potential export outlet for both WA and SA and assist traders in formulating their next move.
Sorghum values started this week much where they left off the previous, with Brisbane track sitting around $355/mt and Newcastle track and delivered bids shown at $385/mt. Continuing news of a large portion of the NSW crop being baled, along with lower than expected yields and quality concerns have failed to fuel any fireworks in the sorghum markets while it continues to try and find buyers. All is still quiet on the Chinese front for Baijiu buying also, limiting export prospects. Discounts to SOR2 continue to range broadly between $20-50, in some cases becoming lighter as harvest progresses and the lack of SOR1 becomes apparent.
While ABARES released a forecast that Australian wheat production is expected to rise 38% to 23.9mmt in 2019/20, this is dependent on receiving a ‘normal’ season with average rainfall. It remains to be seen whether a break will arrive to present sowing opportunities. In the mean time rotation plans continue to be formulated, fingers tightly crossed and weather apps regularly checked.

Seeds for 2012
I ordered a first lot from www.vegetableseeds.co.uk, who are really kind and their seeds are great value for money. Much cheaper than seeds in France.
Squash Winter Waltham Butternut - these are meant to be a good butternut, and as I didn't do any this year, time to do some again.
Squash Winter Uchiki Kuri - the good old Potimarron, such great flavour
Courgette Nero Di Milano - I couldn't get any striata d'Italia but these looked a good second choice.
Pea Alderman - I loved this climbing pea this year and it saves on space so they are retained for next year's season.
Pea Early Onward - you can never have enough peas. I still have some Kelvedon Wonder left over too. Successive sowing is the way to go with peas.
Beetroot Boltardy - I have to find a way to stop the voles getting the beetroot. I am thinking of making a raised bed, with a solid bottom, so they can't eat them.
Sweet Pepper Long Red Marconi - I wanted those good Robertina peppers but can'[t get them. These look wonderful, long red variety and they say they are productive. Peppers seem to do better than aubergines so I willl stick to them from now on.
Climbing French Bean Cobra - My reliable favourite. I saved my own this year but you can never get enough.
Dwarf French Bean Safari - these performed quite well this year so I will go for them again.
Onion Bedfordshire Champion - I will have a go at onion from sed this year. I will sow indoors at around Christmas time and see if I have some small seedlings to plant out in February. If it works, it is much more economical than sets!
Leek Musselburgh - Leeks were a bit of a flop this year but next year I will try hard to make a proper seed bed outdoors and fleece them well and try and raise my own plants.

If you have your own farm and feed many poultry or livestock, it is better to get a small corn mill in your farm.
This small corn mill is good for grinding any kinds of cereal, such as maize, soybean, wheat etc. The powder out of it can be between 0.8mm and 5mm. We can make different size sieves as you want. Meanwhile, as the sieves are very easy to change, it means you can buy one machine to make different size flour.
What’s more, the grinding machine can also be used to grind chemical materials or other hard materials.
Our smallest model can be driven by 2.2kw electric motor or an 8HP diesel engine. The motor can be single phase, so you can use it at home.
