Human consumption laws offer market potential for hemp farmers
- From: Mercury
- July 26, 2014
THE industrial hemp industry has won the backing of the State Government, which says it could be a valuable crop for farmers.
But first it has to overcome the opposition of Australia’s state health ministers who equate industrial hemp with the drug cannabis.
The Federal Government has delayed a decision on hemp production until January.
Industrial hemp, which has been grown in Tasmania since 1991, has a low reading of THC – the active ingredient in cannabis. It is used to make fibre, textiles, paper and building materials.
Hemp seeds and oil are used in health bars, salad oils, non-soy tofu, non-dairy cheeses and as an additive to baked goods as well as being used as whole seeds, raw or roasted.
Deputy Premier Jeremy Rockliff said the Tasmanian Government would continue to lobby strongly for federal approval.
“We support the use of industrial hemp products in food as it would open up new markets for the industry,” he said.
State Government body Agrigrowth Tasmania was looking at simplifying the regulation of the industry and would report back in 90 days.
“This work will involve co-ordinating a Government response to the 2012-13 House of Assembly inquiry into the industrial hemp industry,” Mr Rockliff said.
Industrial Hemp Association of Tasmania spokesman Phil Reader said the industry wanted a licence from the chief pharmacist to allow human consumption.
“We are talking about a crop which is not a drug crop. It’s tested as such and we have no issues with the testing to make sure all of our crops are low-THC,” he said.
“We are growing it for food and potentially for fibre.
“We are held back under the regulations nationally with regard to the federal position, the Coalition of Australian Government health ministers keep on delaying making a decision on what has been recommended by Food Standards Australia and New Zealand that it be approved for human consumption.”
Tasmanian Farmers and Graziers Association chief executive Jan Davis said a 2012 Legislative Council inquiry had recommended the Government remove unnecessary red tape to allow it to proceed.
Mr Reader said farmers and downstream processors would benefit if human consumption was permitted.

2019 was a whirl of mixed weather. It started under water, got incredibly hot, and we’re now finally feeling comfortable outside again… at least for the time being. Weather has always been a factor on our harvest, but it’s out of our control. With that in mind, we feel it’s time for you to take the reins on what you can influence. It’s time to Take Control of Your Harvest with our KX7 concaves.
Given the thread of wacky weather, inconsistent crop maturity is common to harvest this year. Kondex KX7 concaves are giving you the flexibility to harvest in mixed moisture conditions – without sacrificing your grain quality, plugging up your machine, and losing your crop to rotor loss. This is possible through our unique angled bar design, individual threshing and separating box inserts, and half-width design.
KX7 offers more immediate threshing and induces more grain-on-grain threshing. By clearing the grain earlier, it’s easier to separate and move on to the cleaning system. KX7 also allows for greater capacity, meaning you can increase your speed and intake. For large operations, this gained efficiency can account for days or weeks off harvest!
You may be wondering about product life and how all this capacity affects the concaves. Well, we’ve got you covered there too. Our MaxThreshTM box inserts feature a proprietary laser cladding additive that not only maintains the integrity of the threshing bars, but helps with their performance as well. And our MaxRoundTM box inserts are also reinforced through a special heat treatment process.
We understand each field is unique, which is why we’ve added greater customization to our concaves. At half the width to most traditional concaves, you have more flexibility with how to best set your machine. And with removeable, replacement box inserts, you can now create a unique-to-you mix of MaxThresh and MaxRound boxes in one assembly. While this isn’t typically necessary, the option is there. An option you’ll also enjoy should the unfortunate event of a rock entering this area occur. We’ll take a box replacement over a whole concave replacement any day!
Contact us to continue this conversation and talk about your harvest and how Kondex can help. If you’d rather call, we’re here to help: 800-447-1860.

Steel Is a Durable and Beautiful Raised Bed Kitchen Garden Material
When choosing materials for raised beds that will be used in a kitchen garden, we prioritize those that are natural, beautiful, durable, sustainable, and also affordable. Steel may not be the most affordable option out there, but you can't get much more durable than steel, which will quite literally last a lifetime.
My three favorite types of steel to use in garden designs are Corten steel (thanks to its weathered look), powder coated steel (which has a very sleek, modern feel), and galvanized steel (which is often your best budget option).
Here are some major benefits of using steel, if your budget allows:
- Steel beds have thin sides, and this narrow profile allows you to maximize your growing area.
- Steel is a sustainable resource.
- The soil in a steel garden will warm up faster than a wood bed in the spring.
- Steel is a food-safe material.
- Both Corten and powder coated beds can withstand corrosion and won't chip, crack, or peel.
- The color of powder coated beds can be chosen to coordinate with existing materials on your home.
Corten steel raised kitchen garden bed
What Is Corten Steel?
Corten steel (sometimes written as Cor-Ten steel for the trademarked brand) was developed to form that distinctive rusty, weathered appearance over time with exposure to the elements. Also called weathering steel or "atmospheric corrosion resistant steel", this material eliminates your need to paint or treat your raised beds with anything.
The surface of Corten steel oxidizes when it comes in contact with moisture, giving it that rusted patina, but unlike other metals, it seals itself once a certain amount of oxidation has occurred. That means it will never rust through. Depending on the weather where you live, Corten steel can take between six months to two years to fully develop its finished patina.
Corten steel raised garden beds have grown rapidly in popularity. Many of our Rooted Garden clients choose Corten steel raised beds for their earthy yet elegant beauty.
Powder coated steel raised kitchen garden bed
What Is Powder Coated Steel?
If you prefer a more sleek, modern feel than Corten steel, you might lean toward powder coated metal, which has a smooth finish but is equally durable.
Powder coating is an advanced technique for painting steel using colored polyester granules that are applied as powder and then baked onto the metal surface. This technique results in a smooth, uniformly applied coating far superior to regular paint.
Powder coating can be applied in a vast range of colors, giving you flexibility to match your raised bed finish to paint or trim details on your home for a seamless look.
Powder coated steel tends to have a slightly lower price tag than Corten steel.
Galvanized steel raised kitchen garden bed
What Is Galvanized Steel?
Galvanized steel has had a zinc coating applied to the surface of the metal to prevent the formation of rust. Many cattle trough containers are made of galvanized steel and make budget-friendly, food-safe options for raised bed gardens. I myself have a galvanized steel rolling herb planter on my back patio. (Download our Guide to Gardenary Raised Beds ebook for instructions on how to make this raised beds on wheels.)
Galvanized steel could give your kitchen garden a laid-back farmhouse look if Corten and powder coated steel feel too modern.
Steel Raised Bed FAQs
Is It Safe to Grow Vegetables in a Steel Container?
I get this question a lot—it seems many of you are concerned that the zinc used in the process of coating the steel will leach into your soil and contaminate your veggies. I can say with confidence that it is absolutely safe to grow edible plants inside of a steel container, whether that container is galvanized, powder coated, or weathered like Corten.
Steel itself is made from mined iron and is a sustainable and recyclable resource. Steel is often treated with zinc for durability, and while a small amount of zinc may seep into your soil over time, this will not impact the organic soil inside the bed. Zinc is a mineral that's naturally found in soil and is a plant micronutrient. You actually need to take in a small amount of zinc to survive, and guess what... so do your plants!
No amount of zinc taken up by the soil or the plants growing inside your steel beds will ever be enough to negatively impact you or be considered harmful.
Do Steel Raised Beds Have Good Drainage?
Most of the steel raised beds you will find online to order are actually bottomless. As long as you choose a good soil that drains easily and line the bottom of your bed with a weed barrier to prevent soil from running out of the bottom every time you water, your bed will have ideal drainage and keep your plants happy and thriving.
Should you choose a steel bed that does have a bottom, it's simple enough to drill your own drainage holes every six inches or so to allow the water to pass easily through.
Shop Gardenary's Corten Steel Raised Garden Bed
Our steel raised beds assemble into a rectangular shape from four panels that lock together to form a solid plant container that provides maximum planting area.
Corten Steel planter beds do not ship pre-weathered and will arrive with the bare steel finish, which will have to weather over time to develop a golden brown rust color and texture.
Choose from 3 different sizes to fit your space.
Do Steel Beds Get Too Hot During the Summer?
When I first started designing kitchen gardens in Houston, I was intrigued by Corten steel but concerned that the material wouldn't do well over Houston's extremely hot summers. I had a client insist on Corten steel raised beds to match her beautiful fire pit, so I found a steel designer and had the beds installed in June. To my surprise and absolute delight, the garden beds thrived!
Here's the trick: Plant the edges of your steel beds with more heat- and drought-tolerant plants like herbs and flowers. The soil around the edges of a steel raised bed will be about 8°F to 10°F warmer than the soil closer to the middle (which will stay about the same temperature as in-ground soil in the warmer months). Put plants that are more sensitive to temperature and drying out in the middle of your raised bed. Following this planting plan has led to steel raised beds being some of our most productive kitchen gardens—yes, even in Houston!
Where Can You Buy Steel Raised Beds?
We currently have two Corten steel raised beds for sale in the Gardenary shop.
Birdies has a line of Corten steel raised beds called the Urban line. You can also find raised beds available at Edge Right, Gardener's Supply Company, and Veradek. If you'd prefer to create a custom design, search for steel designers in your area.
Shop Gardenary's Corten Steel Raised Bed Container
Our Corten Steel raised bed containers can be used on grass, gravel, patios, and even balconies.
Corten steel planters are shaped by folding to create a planter that uses no welding during the manufacturing process and assembles into a rectangular shape from five panels including an enclosed bottom with drainage holes.
Choose from 2 different sizes to fit your space.
Are Steel Raised Beds Heavy?
Steel beds can be quite heavy, especially if they arrive pre-made. In fact, I've installed beds that took four (sometimes even five) grown men to carry them off the truck and maneuver them into the yard. If you're going with steel, make sure you arrange for delivery, and if the bed is arriving pre-made, measure the narrowest part of the path the bed will have to travel to ensure it will fit through.

Hemp Bill Receives Support from Lawmakers
The push to legalize industrial hemp production in Kentucky will begin in the state Senate, Agriculture Commissioner James Comer says. The Kentucky Industrial Hemp Commission, which met Friday for the second time since its decade of dormancy, discussed possible legislation for the upcoming 30-day session. Finding a bill sponsor won’t be difficult, Comer told the panel. Sen. Paul Hornback, R-Shelbyville, was mentioned among those mentioned as a possible sponsor.

It's like getting two broadforks for the price of one...
Easily replaceable tines make it easy to convert the Cartwright Broadfork into either a 5 tine or a 7 tine broadfork. Two wrenches are all that are required for converting or replacing tines. The 5 tines spaced at 3 3/4" o.c. are best used in breaking new ground or in heavier soils. The 7 tines spaced at 3" are used for finer tilling or for use in looser soils or also in lifting root crops out of the soil. No other broadfork offers this versatility.
The white oak wooden handle is horizontally aligned to offer easy, efficient operation. This arrangement allows your body weight to be used, reducing the strain on arms and shoulders that results in pulling on the two vertical handles of other broadforks.
Solid steel construction from handle bar to heat treated tines makes for a rugged fork that will not fail. Even if tines do bend, they can be easily replaced without having to rely on a welder.
Two sizes are offered: 47" (measuring distal end of tine to handle), for the average size gardener, at $180 plus $36 shipping and handling, or 53", for the taller gardener, at $185 plus $36 shipping and handling. To order either model, click here.

Cannabis License Applicant Unveils New Online Experience as Company Expands Business Scope
From globenewswire.com link to release March 21st 2019
Penticton, BC, March 21, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Green Mountain Health Alliance Ltd., an upcoming socially responsible, low-cost, large-scale wholesale cannabis and hemp producer, has successfully completed a transformation to become known as Green Mountain; unveiling a new online presence and revamped branding in addition to the Company name change. The rebrand comes as the Company expands the scope of the business to include new developments, including plans to grow industrial hemp for the extraction of cannabidiol (CBD).
“We are extremely pleased with Green Mountain’s enhanced identity, and we feel that the simplified name adjustment better encompasses the Company’s flexibility in its future direction and ability to respond fluidly to the ever-evolving cannabis market,” said Green Mountain President, Wade Attwood. “We built our Company in alliance with our Indigenous partners, and designed our business plans to facilitate expansion and flexibility within these partnerships. While our business activities will still be focused on the large-scale cultivation of high-quality cannabis plants for both recreational and medical purposes, we are in the process of implementing additional ventures which will add significant value to our Company and complement our core mission”.
Green Mountain retained the services of the renowned, award-winning Calgary-based Maverick Agency for the rebrand. Mr. Attwood noted, “We were thrilled to work with Maverick and are very appreciative of the creative, functional and attractive online experience and brand they have created for us. They were a pleasure to work with and worked incredibly hard to truly capture the essence of our Company and the dedication to social responsibility that make us stand out in the market.”
Matthew Howard, Founding Partner and Managing Director for Maverick said, “Maverick is very pleased to have partnered with such a dynamic and visionary group as Green Mountain. They are unwavering in their vision, and the pairing of their passion and steadfast business acumen make them a powerful contender to enter this space. We are grateful to be able to position the brand and online experience to reflect the values that drive the organization and will power their continued success.”
Formed in the fall of 2017 to pursue an application to become a licensed cultivator and processor of cannabis under Health Canada’s ACMPR program, Green Mountain has secured three properties in the Okanagan Valley in BC. A full cannabis Cultivation and Processing License is in the approval process on a 16-acre parcel in Kaleden, British Columbia, with the first stage of greenhouse construction anticipated to be complete in the spring of 2019. Green Mountain has a Letter of Intent to lease a 98-acre parcel of Indigenous agricultural land and has leased a commercial greenhouse in the White Lake area of Kaleden, intending to cultivate industrial hemp for the extraction of cannabidiol (CBD) and conduct research and development on a high CBD hemp strain.
Once licensed by Health Canada, Green Mountain will grow cannabis and hemp, sell nursery stock, harvest and sell dried cannabis and hemp flower, and process and sell cannabis derivatives. The company has a strong commitment to social responsibility with Indigenous partnerships forming the foundation of its business; through Green Mountain’s operations, it is involved with members of the Penticton Indian Band, Pimicikamak Okimawin, and the Manitoba Métis Federation. The Company is committed to sustainable outdoor and greenhouse growing practices which will reduce environmental impacts and utilize natural elements to ensure the highest quality product.
About Green Mountain
Located in the Okanagan Valley, BC’s best cannabis growing area, Green Mountain is progressing towards becoming one of Canada’s leading, socially responsible, low-cost, large-scale wholesale cannabis and hemp producers. Our team of employees, proven industry experts, and Indigenous partners are working to ensure we will provide safe, sun-grown, high-quality cannabis and hemp using environmentally sustainable cultivation methods and greenhouse technology.
As a wholesale, high-volume, low-cost producer, Green Mountain is ideally positioned to fill a market gap; providing the expanding Canadian medical and recreational cannabis industry with consistently high-quality product utilizing superior genetics. The company has secured over 100 acres with the potential for over 1,000,000 square feet of growing space. For more information, visit www.gmtn.ca.


As we turn into July many of the vegetables are starting to blossom and fruit. It is going to be a bumper crop year and already we are struggling a bit to keep up with the amount of lettuce, mesclun, and arugula we are producing.
It is exciting to see the foods taking form and I am already busy looking recipes to use our garden’s bounty to the fullest.

Gelato OG is the culmination of bringing together two much-in-demand West Coast strains, viz. Gelato and OG Kush. If you are looking for a strain with a deliciously mouth-watering smell.
Gelato has created quite a stir itself recently in San Francisco’s Bay Area. With parentage of Sunset Sherbert and GSC Thin Mints pheno. it not only aromas divine but looks an absolute stunner too with deep purple hued flowers streaked with orange pistils overlain with heavy, white resin production. The pollen for Gelato OG was supplied by a specially selected pheno. of OG Kush from Oakland, California, a strain that will be very familiar to growers and consumers the world over. It travelled from Florida to L.A. in the mid-90s and has become a firm favorite due to its pine/lemon/fuel scent.
Gelato OG grows well both indoors and outdoors. Cultivated indoors it will grow to a height of between 90 – 120 cm. tall producing 500 – 600 gr/m2 in just 55 – 60 days of flowering. Outdoors it is recommended to plant out in at least 50 liter pots or, preferably, directly in the ground where it will grow to a height of 220 cm. Harvest time will be in the last days of September, giving it a wide range of cultivability even in higher latitudes where the inclement weather of autumn is yet to make an appearance, with yields of 400 – 600 gr/plant.

Situated at 860' atop the Eola Hills, this is our coolest and therefore latest
ripening vineyard. Managed by Dai Crisp, one of Oregon's great
grapegrowers, it is farmed organically. We have two older blocks: one high
on an east facing ridge ("East", six acres), the other slightly lower and facing
south ("Pumphouse", 1.5 acres). Another block, called the "R" block lies on a long, gently south facing field between the two ridges of the vineyard (4.5
acres). It was planted between 2006 and 2009 with the Pommard clones of
Pinot noir on phylloxera resistant rootstock and at a higher density.

What are the odds? A small seed blows through the wind one autumn day and it falls, only to be covered with dust and soil between two large rocks. Come winter it begins to sprout under the hard, cold coverings of ice and snow. An early day of rocky mountain spring sunshine, brings it to grow and blossom toward the sun. It found its own way around the rocks giving them a beauty they never had before. What an incredible God!


Local exporters, including coffee exports, will access EUR 8.5 million in a new aid grant to the Rwanda’s Export growth facility. The growth body designs and implements strategies to boost exports from the small central African country to markets abroad.
The Ministry of Trade, Industry and East African Community Affairs (MINEACOM) organized a an export conference in collaboration with the Private Sector Federation (PSF) Last November.
During the conference, 19 export companies, from different trades, such as textiles, mining, tea and coffee signed a memorandum of understanding with MINEACOM on new objectives to boost the country’s exports revenues.
A Japanese delegation of coffee roasters and investors visited Rwanda earlier this year to grow trade between the two countries.
Rwanda’s coffee export revenues dropped by 5.17 per cent to $60.7 million from $64.03 million in 2014-2015 as a new National Agricultural Export Board (NAEB) report indicates. This represents a decline of over $3 million in revenue.
There was a drop in coffee beans prices due to overflowing supply. Prices plunged $3.87 per kilogramme during the year 2014 to 2015 coffee year to about $3 per kilo in 2016.
Despite the price drop, the export volumes increased from 19.6 million kilos in the same year from 16.5 million kilogrammes.
Coffee production also increased from 16.9 million kilos during to 20.03 million kilos in the last year until June 30.
“We have registered an 18 per cent increase in production, representing an additional 3.1 million kilogrammes,” NAEB said in a statement.
The coffee business has an encouraged a sophisticated and reliable ecosystem in Rwanda from farmers, to washers and engineers and salesmen. Major trade countries include 42 percent of exports to Switzerland, 12.4 per cent to the United Kingdom, and 20.9 percent to the United States. South Africa takes 5.8 percent of the beans, 0.5 percent go to Germany, and 1.5 percent to South Korea.
More than 400,000 Rwandans earn their livelihood from coffee farming.


Sinn Fein's Agriculture Spokesperson, Deputy Martin Kenny TD
Sinn Féin’s Agriculture Spokesperson, Martin Kenny TD, has called on the Minister for Agriculture to extend the period, under GLAS, that farmers are allowed to complete planting and coppicing of hedgerows.
Speaking to the Leitrim Observer this morning, Deputy Kenny said: “Farmers are having difficulty finding sufficient hedges and trees to fulfil their GLAS planting requirements.
“I have no doubt that suppliers are doing their utmost to meet the needs of farmers at this time, but I am calling for some flexibility on the Minister’s part to allow GLAS participants time to complete their planting.”

Ashley and Michael Athill, the brother and sister team behind a new Black-owned craft cannabis cultivator called HRVSTR, have had their growing facility in place since May of last year. But up until now, they haven’t been able to grow or sell any product.
Located in Ontario’s Durham region, the pair finally received their licence last week and are one final municipal inspection away from getting started. The high start-up cost is what they point to as the foremost reason why they haven’t met a single other Black-owned cannabis cultivator in Canada.
“It’s a difficult thing for anybody to achieve coming from my background,” Michael said.
While the Athills were able to self-fund HRVSTR with their own savings and assets, they acknowledged that income inequality along racial lines makes it more difficult for other Black entrepreneurs to do the same.
“We essentially have to build the facility before we even submit an application. So that’s not even just rent, but that’s also…

New Delhi: A delegation of BJP MPs from Odisha on Wednesday sought personal intervention of Union Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, Piyush Goyal to resolve the issues on alleged mismanagement and corrupt practices in the paddy procurement operations in the State.
The MPs have submitted a memorandum to the Union Minister alleging gross irregularities in the paddy procurement process by the Odisha Government.
“We, the public representatives of Odisha with deep concern, would like to draw your attention over the scuttling of paddy procurement in Odisha by the State Government causing great distress to Odisha farmers,” the MPs said.
Earlier, the MPs had written to Mr.Goyal in March 2021, based on which a fact-finding team of senior officials from Department of Food & Public Distribution (DFPD) was sent to Odisha to oversee the process of paddy procurement operation. The team visited various districts from March 21 to 25and its observations and recommendations/ suggestions were also submitted.
The observations of the team about paddy procurement operation in Odisha are serious in nature and points out the malice/corrupt and fraudulent practices prevalent in Regulated Markets Committees (RMC)/ Primary Agriculture Credit Societies (PACS)/Paddy Procurement Centres (PPCs), they said.
“The issues pointed out by the fact finding team about shortcomings in the paddy procurement operations in Odisha are still persistent and continue to mar the procurement process,” they alleged.
According to the memorandum, in all the Regulated Market Committees (RMCs), the actual paddy procurement window is severely curtailed compared to the official window, creating panic among small and marginal farmers.
Against the official 151-day window, actual procurement windows varied from as low as 40-43 days in some RMCs. Furthermore, recent protest by the employees of the PACS have delayed the opening of the Mandis, thereby causing the issued token to be lapsed.
The 30 days token system being exploited leading to favoritism and many tokens belonging to small and marginal farmers getting lapsed. As Mandis are not being opened at all in some RMCs, irregular lifting of rice at Mandl has created an additional issue of storage of the grains for farmers.
Farmers are spending nights guarding their produce at the Mandis. In the scorching winter, this is extremely harassing for the farmers.
Most of the Mandis Managed by PACS/WSFIGs have limitation of storage space godowns, this is further aiding to the benefit of private millers who are lifting the paddy at lower cost.
The BJP MPs also made allegations about manual filling of weigh-slips, unequal distribution of paddy procured among different millers, unlawful procurement, non-existent of the quality control process and non-availability of required infrastructure.
“The entire procurement process was found to be miller driven. Surprisingly, the State Government has allowed millers to perform all the mandi operations viz. supply of used gunnies, transportation of paddy, loading and other mandi labour works. This is against the guidelines of GOI,” they further alleged.
These poor paddy farmers are forced to forgo 6-8 kg of paddy per quintal to the brokers and agents; a practice which is locally dreaded as ‘katni chhatni. Farmers are not getting their legitimate price due to such katni chhatni.
It is extremely unfortunate that the Government of Odisha is yet to act on the suggestions/recommendations as submitted by the Central team. Failure of Odisha Government in managing the Mandis and high dependence on private millers has led to lapses of issued tokens to the farmers resulting in non-realisation of fair price of their crop produce.
The BJP parliamentarians said this has also led to mass distress sale by the farmers and would have dire consequences for them white coping with pandemic/cyclone related losses.
“We also request you to instruct Government of Odisha to follow the suggestions/recommendations of the Fact Finding Committee of DFPD, Government of India strictly which shall be instrumental in ensuring seamless and timely procurement of the farm produce and timely compensation to lakhs of farmers in the State of Odisha,” the MPs wrote in the Memo.

As cultivators and owners know, building out a commercial sized facility takes a lot of time, patience and money but can be extremely lucrative in the long run. Large-scale commercial facilities that are up and running are generating huge profits, mostly in cash. But this type of revenue takes time. To get to a place where a facility can sustain itself financially, owners first must go through the long and expensive process of licensing, permitting, obtaining land and/or buildings and, of course, choosing lighting and environmental control.

Last November, the City of Denver released new regulations concerning odor control for cannabis cultivation facilities. Previously, Denver’s Department of Environmental Health (DEH) only mandated odor control plans for facilities that received a certain number of complaints but that is no longer the case. Both existing facilities, as well as new ones, will require an odor control plan going forward or risk financial penalties for non-compliance.

Right now, cannabis in the United States is a hotly debated topic. Many people are anti-prohibition citing medicinal uses, economic growth, job-creation and removing its incentive from underworld criminals as reasons for creating a legitimate, regulated cannabis industry. Others see negative impacts of legalization, believing that cannabis is harmful and prohibition only keeps citizens safe. But more and more, the consensus is moving toward the former with a new poll suggesting 93% of voters support medical marijuana and 59% support full legalization. Elections in November highlighted this trend as four states adopted medical and another four voted in favor of adult-use programs. Now a record 60% of the United States’ population live in a state that has legalized in some form.

If you've been looking to support your community, cook a little more adventurously, and eat a lot more locally this summer, signing up for a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) share is well worth the commitment. A membership through any of Los Angeles' many CSA farms and co-ops (even one that specializes in Asian produce) gets you a box of farm-fresh vegetables every week, often with varieties you'll never find at the grocer.
But sometimes, new subscribers feel overwhelmed when that first box arrives, brimming with more salads than they know what to do with, herbs that go bad before they can use them all, and mystery roots that keep showing up every week.
Before you dive in to your first CSA share, here are a few things to think about:
1. Learn how to store your vegetables to make them last through the week.
If you've ever felt guilty for letting a crisper bin full of produce spoil (again), you're not alone. To get the most out of your membership, learn how to properly store all your vegetables, fruits, and herbs for optimal freshness. Most things should keep through the end of the week under ideal conditions, whether they're packed away in the fridge or kept out on the counter. Check out this printable guide (PDF) from UC Davis on how to store your produce post-harvest, and this handy infographic on what goes where inside the fridge.
2. Be realistic about your cooking capabilities.
Few families have the resources to make a hearty breakfast, pack a healthful lunch, and cook a three-course dinner all in one day. If your schedule leaves you with little time to spend in the kitchen, consider splitting a CSA share with a neighbor or co-worker so you still reap the benefits of membership without wasting any precious produce.
3. Keep an open and creative mind.
The beauty of CSAs is the sheer variety of vegetables you get in a given season. Don't be surprised to see everything from komatsuna to kohlrabi in your box, or a rainbow of heirloom squash in all shapes and sizes. A CSA membership is actually a great way to expand your horizons and learn more about all the food that's available in your region, beyond what you see at the local supermarket... which brings us to...
4. Read the CSA farm's newsletter or website.
A good CSA farm is involved with the community that supports it. Many farms include a weekly newsletter with their shares that highlight happenings at the farm, vegetables they're planting and harvesting, any complications or pest problems that might affect the season's crops, and perhaps most importantly, featured recipes using the sometimes unusual veggies that land in your box. Some CSAs may update their sites, blogs, or social media pages with this information, so be sure to check when you sign up.
5. If vegetables aren't your thing, look into alternative CSA programs.
Vegetable CSAs are the most common, especially in summer, but they're not the only operations dedicated to connecting you with local farmers. Look into CSFs (Community Supported Fisheries), artisan cheese CSAs, grass-fed meat CSAs, and even grain CSAs that specialize in delivering wheat, oats, seeds, and dried legumes. Some CSAs also partner with local producers that allow you to add on shares of milk, eggs, or bread. You can search for your nearest CSF through Local Catch and find a local CSA through LocalHarvest.

Global food prices jumped toward a record last month, further adding to the surging cost of living for consumers. The United Nations’ index of prices rose 1.1% in January, pushed up by more expensive vegetable oils and dairy.
The gauge is edging closer to 2011’s all-time high, and unfavorable weather for crops and the fallout from an energy crisis threaten to keep prices high going forward. Inflation has been running rampant across the globe, and the latest leg higher in the UN’s food index could further stretch household budgets.
The commodities tracked by the gauge are used in most grocery store products or fed to animals from which those items are produced. That’s particularly bad news for the poorest consumers and nations with the least disposable income. The poorest “segments in the population will feel the pinch the most,” Josef Schmidhuber, deputy director for markets and trade at the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization, said by phone.
According to Bloomberg, “High energy costs and high food costs and high necessities — they account for a large part of their overall expenditures.” Sugar marked the only commodity that eased during the month, while costs for meat, grain, dairy, and vegetable oils rose.
Countries spanning Turkey to Paraguay are facing food inflation. Surging energy prices have bolstered the appeal of crop-based biofuels and raised the cost of fertilizers and fuel for farmers. That could force cutbacks on farm inputs, particularly in developing nations, which may increase reliance on crop imports if harvests falter, Schmidhuber said.
Crop supplies also face risks from bad weather and geopolitical tensions. A dry spell has hit South American soy fields, while palm oil prices have reached a record due to labor shortages and export restrictions. The possibility of conflict at the Ukraine border also has the market watching for any impact to Black Sea grain shipments.

Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar asks a Supplementary Question on import of onions
Wholesale price inflation rose to 3.93 per cent last month, mostly due to rise in onion and tomato prices, among other vegetables, with a rise up to 59.8 per cent. But onion was the highest at 178.19 per cent price rise.
Hon Madam, the Minister has said that he cannot control the prices and also restricted export of onions. My question is whether onion is being imported or brought from outside. What quantity of onions is being bought at what price and from which country?


Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan will discuss the process of shipment of grain from Ukraine and the “product deal” at a cabinet meeting on Monday.
The official representative of the President of Turkey, Ibrahim Kalin, said earlier that it is highly likely that the first ship with grain will leave Ukraine on August 1. On July 22, in Istanbul, multilateral agreements were signed on lifting restrictions on the supply of Russian products for export and on Russia’s assistance in the export of Ukrainian grain. The deal, which was signed by representatives of Russia, Turkey, Ukraine and the UN, involves the export of Ukrainian grain, food and fertilizer across the Black Sea from three ports, including Odessa.
It is specified that the impact of the steps taken in the fight against inflation will also be discussed.
The rising number of coronavirus infections will also be on the cabinet’s agenda. The impact of the number of cases on hospitalization rates will be reviewed, along with recent vaccination data. In addition to the fight against terrorism, events in the Aegean and the Mediterranean will also be discussed. After the meeting, President Erdogan will address the nation.
