Looking at the last pic, I thought they were bell peppers for a minute. Huge tomatoes!
@ILParadiseFarm You had asked for a follow up. My plants haven’t gotten large this year, we’ve had multiple nights through July in the 40’s and growth on a lot of things in the veggie garden are stunted. Hopefully you can see the two lines that I tie the plants to with sisal. I use an electric fence wire clip to hold the lines and can set multiple lines on the T-Posts. I’d use a taller T-Post if I were growing more indeterminates, a lot of these are determinate. Once the entire row is tied the wires will bow and the two end stakes sometimes lean in.
I had mine like this early in the season. I tied a handful of them to the line, the rains came and the 'maters went into ‘struggling’ mode. To make a long story short, they snapped out of it but I never got them all tied up and now they are all over the ground. I should take a photo, it’s rained again here and I sank to my knees when I tried to get to a watermelon, so it’ll be a while before I can get back in the garden.
Mine are all indeterminate. They really get away from you fast.
We’re finally getting some of our tomatoes to ripen, but most of them are still green. We have had a lot of rain over the last couple of weeks, two weekends ago we had abt 4", and earlier this week we had about 2.5", with not a lot of sun. That’s prob why they’re not ripening like they should.
Our plants have become so tall and unwieldy, they’re folding under from the top weight. Not breaking branches, but bent over. The rain this week really exacerbated this issue as the plants are so tall and top-heavy. Plus the stakes being in soggy ground don’t lend as much stable support. I can barely walk between them now, as quite a few have grown or fallen into other plants. So, there’s not much I can do to remedy this situation, so I’m basically letting them go. Next year I’m going to have to come up with a better support system, maybe a tall wire trellis.
Anyways, today we picked a few that looked ripe and tried them out. Our Warren’s yellow cherry has been our most prolific producer, and last week we picked our first ripe ones. They’re a bit tart, not too sweet, maybe could leave them on a bit longer for that.
This evening we picked a big gnarly Wyche Yellow and a Jaune Flammé. The Wyche looked like a few fused blossoms as it was quite large, but also had some rot on it. I cut out the bad parts and the tried the rest of it, it was meaty, and had almost a mango or some other tropical flavor to it, not real tart either. So, I’ll be interested in seeing how the rest do. The JF was pretty tart, with hardly any sweet to it. There are a few red toms that are starting to get pink, so those might be ready in a couple weeks. There are some Boxcar Willie, Watermelon, and Siberian Pink starting to turn.
A few of the plants are already getting pretty bad disease, which I just assume is blight. So, I hope I can get some fruit off those before the leaves rot away. No varmit issues yet, knock on wood. Will try to post some new pics when we start to get some more ripe specimens.
Drew had posted some pictures of his Romeo paste tomato a year or so ago, and so we traded some seeds. I sent Drew San Mazano and Drew sent me Romeo. He’d said at the time that he wasn’t super confident that they would be viable since he’d had an event and some of his seed collection had gotten wet.
Well I only had a couple of the seeds germinate, and I gave one plant away and planted the other.
Here’s a few shots of a couple I took off the plant yesterday. I took them a little early but we had rain coming and was worried they may crack (had a couple places that had started small cracks)
Anyway, they are simply HUGE!
Here are some pictures to try and give some perspective. They hold their own next to some pretty good sized Brandywine and NAR
1LB 12.8 ounces for a paste tomato just cracks me up
Big thank you to Drew!!!
There are maybe 30-35 more on the plant - some probably too small to ever make a tomato before seasons end so it’s carrying a pretty decent fruit load.
We’ll have to wait awhile to know if we like the flavor…, but it was worth growing out just for the novelty factor. Everyone who strolled through my garden commented on them. One guy sent me a text the next day saying “…can you send me a picture of those tomatoes that look like an egg plant, I have a co-worker who wants to see them”
Thanks for the pics. My Romeo hasn’t been as productive as yours, but there are some fruit on my two plants.
NAR are supposed to be mammoth specimens, so I’m not surprised by how large yours are. I’ve never grew them, just repeating what I’ve heard. Do they have good flavor?
We were able to sample some Chocolate Cherry, and Boxcar Willie yesterday. The CC were great as usual, we’ve grown these for the last four years and they never disappoint. Plus, the plants are massive, well over 6ft. BW were OK, still a bit tart, I probably picked them a bit too early, just impatient, I guess. They’re not as big as I thought they’d be, they are round, a bit larger than a ping pong ball.
We also picked our first Gordost Sibiri of the year, it had a bit of rot on it (sunscald), but was still pretty tasty. She picked an almost ripe Paul Robeson, a purple tom, so I’m letting it ripen a bit more on the window sill before trying it.
The small tomato varieties are starting to roll in in SE Minnesota. I tried Sungold open pollinated from Baker Creek Seeds last year… yuck! The F1 variety is wonderfully sweet though. Super sweet 100 is delicious, just an all around good red cherry tomato. Black Cherry was a variety from last year that I did not replant, it volunteered and I just let it go. Glad to have it back. Last year every single one cracked. This year it’s doing great so far. Nice and sweet, very juicy. 4th of July looks like a large slicer looks on the inside- lots of water. I think of it as a mini beefsteak… or is that called a salad tomato? I don’t know. Vernissage was a free seed packet from Baker Creek. They are mealy and not very good fresh, but are wonderful for cooking. Made BBQ sauce with them today. yum. And so pretty.
I wish I had a better camera to take pictures of my produce with. My phone doesn’t do them justice.
I really like NAR a lot. It’s somewhat like Brandywine as far as misshapen toms go for me, but not quite as bad. I also like that it puts on a lot more fruit than Brandywine and yet can get pretty big.
If I had to choose between BW & NAR (for some reason - like space) it’d be NAR just because of the production.
But it’s only my 2nd year growing the bigger heirloom tomatoes so I’m no expert by a long shot,
but I do like both NAR & Brandywine.
The wife cut up a Big Beef tonight that was just right ripe-wise, and was very happy with it.
Never tried Paul Roberson but I see a lot of talk about it. I have a Black Krim that I’ve taken a few off of, but it seems very slow to ripen. What I’ve had I like though.
Had a pink Limbaugh’s Legacy I tossed into the woods yesterday.
The purple Helsing Junction Blues are still hard and w/o a red bottom so not ready.
Right to left are:
Helsing Junction Blues
Still waiting on my first to turn, but, I was really late to get them in.
Helsing Junction Blues
What kind of soils are in those raised box?
Pro-mix from big box store.
Wow, I bet that was a pretty good task hauling those dirt bags.
Huge. All my hoophouse plants died over the harsh winter but they were all in Pro-mix. So I emptied all those pots into the raised planter & the rest was something like 8 Pro-mix and in the middle of filling it I mixed in a peat moss bail. So it’s essentially all Promix.
Very nice! Glad you got something in the ground at least after all that work early on… (and all those starts on your deck!) Looks like they could outgrow their poles before too long. Your hands better be healed up pretty good before attempting to harvest them bad boys!!!
Friday my friend is bringing samples. I should have some really nice pictures and my own ‘taster’ comments…
Pretty tomato, Drew. My friend is absolutely crazy about Middle Tennessee Low Acid. One of the best tomatoes he’s eaten of quite a few.
Yes, it’s green, yellow and red! I like both acid and low acid tomatoes. It is fairly prolific too.
I have my favorites too and I’m going to stop experimenting for a bit. I like the dark tomatoes like Indian Stripe, Girl Girl’s, and Pink Berkeley Tie-Dye. i really don’t need any others besides a good cherry. I tried Mexico Midget this year. A very small cherry, red, very sweet, and an heirloom, so probably all I will grow in the future. I will try a few others every year I have enough seed for a few years of tomatoes I never tried yet.
I wouldn’t know when to pick it!
Gotta put the squeeze on it Mr. Andy
Poke at it!


Downtown Assembly member Christopher Constant has a bold proposal for 15-acres of empty land in Downtown Anchorage. He wants to turn the spot at Gambell Street and 3rd Avenue, the former site of the Alaska Native Hospital, into an urban agriculture center designed to provide education and employment opportunities while producing herbs and greens for the Anchorage market.
The proposal, an amendment to a five-year management plan for the Heritage Land Bank, is set to go before the assembly next week. Constant told Alaska Public Radio that this amendment doesn’t directly do anything to have the plan approved, but does send a message that he hopes will result in a positive use for the fallow lot.
The idea of turning the property into a productive urban farm is something Constant has had on his mind for some time, but his April Assembly win put him in a position to make it happen. In a conversation this afternoon, he outlined high hopes and visions of a peony and dahlia demonstration area, herbs, and native botanicals in addition to more traditional crops and, of course, a farmers market at which to sell the bounty.
“It’s hard for people to oppose,” he says, noting the benefits to food security and the idea of providing much needed skills and employment opportunities for homeless workers. “The biggest opposition statements I hear are ‘You’re not going to solve the homeless problem with a farm,’ to which I respond that it’s not a silver bullet. It’s about many, many small things adding up to a big thing.”
If the amendment passes on Tuesday, as he believes it will, the goal is to complete soil testing this summer and have a cover crop of rye planted by the end of the season
A number of potential non-profit and private sector partners, such as Anchorage hydroponic business Vertical Harvest, have already been contacted, but Constant is eager to hear from the community and find out what they might to bring to the table to make this a reality.
“We don’t have a business plan, we don’t have an operator, but we have lots of interest and a small team that can catalyze the resources,” Constant said over messenger today.
If you’re interested in more information or discussing how you might be able to help, e-mail Christopher Constant at firstname.lastname@example.org.

Need stressed to promote import substitution industries
STAFF REPORT KHI: There is a desperate need to promote import substitution industries to Pakistan in order to save valuable foreign exchange, said member of National Committee on Small and Medium Enterprises (NCSME) Zulfikar Thaver.
“We are importing vast range of items, although some of them are manufactured in Pakistan and the domestic industry is facing very tough competition. Other items which are imported can be manufactured in Pakistan and every effort must be made to promote the manufacturers of imported items,” he said.
China is providing an opportunity through the CPEC to set up import substitution industries in Pakistan with Chinese collaboration and the SMEDA could facilitate the SME sector by understanding with their Chinese counterpart for collaboration and transfer of technology, Thaver explained.
He stated that in view of the global slowdown in commodities and decline in export, there is a need to overcome the situation of decline in exports and lessen the heavy reliance on import of many items.
He advised the policymakers to think ahead and plan accordingly to make Pakistan a self-sufficient country rather than importing goods.
“Pakistan is an agricultural country and enjoys the blessings of handsome rain, healthy seasons, fertile soil and good harvest of rice, wheat, maize, cotton, fruits and vegetables and human resources,” he said adding we have the capacity for value addition to our produce and are in a position to meet the global challenges of merchandise.

At Precision Landscape Management, we understand that just like us, plants need specialized care to maintain their health and vitality. From providing comprehensive care to new plants and administering tree growth regulators to protect your mature trees, to executing effective pest control methods, we have your plant health needs covered. We’re also prepared to combat the hot South Carolina summers with our summer drought treatments. Our team, composed of certified arborists and plant health care technicians, are licensed and insured to apply treatments in both South Carolina and North Carolina, bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience to your landscape.
New Plant Care
When you add new plants to your landscape, they need more than just water and sunlight to thrive. Just as a newborn baby needs special care, so do your new plants. We offer customized new plant care services designed to ensure your new additions receive the nutrients, hydration, and care they need to integrate smoothly into your landscape and reach their full potential. We don’t simply plant and go; we make sure to set your greenery up for success from the beginning.
Our pest control services are designed to protect your plants from common pests in the Greenville area that can harm your greenery.

We combine various approaches, including proactive and reactive treatments, to keep these problematic pests away from your landscape and eliminate any colonies that may have formed already, ensuring your greenery remains healthy and pest-free.
Tree Growth Regulators
In urban environments or in situations where a tree might be outgrowing its space, managing the growth of trees is crucial to maintaining a healthy and attractive landscape. That’s where Tree Growth Regulators come in. These regulators work by slowing down the tree’s growth hormones, allowing it to focus more on root development and stress resistance. This not only helps control the size of the tree, making it more manageable in confined spaces, but can also improve the tree’s health and longevity by making it more resilient to disease and adverse weather conditions.
Legacy Tree Program
Our Legacy Tree Program is designed to provide specialized care for your largest and oldest trees. The program includes deep root injections, a method that delivers nutrients directly to the tree’s roots, promoting healthy growth and improving the tree’s ability to absorb water and nutrients. We also use slow-release fertilizers, which gradually supply nutrients to the tree over an extended period, ensuring a constant supply of essential nutrients for optimal growth. This program can help maintain the health and vitality of your oaks, poplars, maples, elms, magnolias, and cedars. Our team will work diligently to ensure these treasured components of your landscape continue to thrive, contributing to the overall beauty and balance of your outdoor environment.

Prices and supply of fresh produce hit by adverse weather
Supply of Malaysian produce affected, but supermarket chains say they are maintaining prices by sourcing from elsewhere
The unusually heavy rain and cold spells during this north-east monsoon has badly affected the supply and quality of vegetables from Malaysia.
Mr Jerry Tan, assistant secretary of the Singapore Fruits and Vegetables Importers and Exporters Association, said: "Prices of vegetables like choy sum and bok choy have jumped almost 80 per cent to 100 per cent as production levels dipped."
He said prices have been rising since Christmas and are projected to remain high until the weather improves.
Mr Tan said Singapore imports half its vegetables from Malaysia, and the higher costs were passed on to wholesalers in the past week.
But he added that the association members have to stay competitive if other importers source the vegetables at a lower price from elsewhere.
Mr Lim Lian Chai, who owns Sheng Chai Vegetable Supplier and supplies to local restaurants, said he could not increase prices beyond a certain level because of prior agreements with his customers.
"Some veggies like kangkung used to go for just over $1. It is now $3.20. I am absorbing the losses," said Mr Lim, who is in his 50s.
He also lamented the low quality of produce he has been receiving lately.
He said: "In a 10kg basket of veggies, maybe only 5kg is usable since the rest has been damaged by the rain."
Mr Lim said this has been the worst rainy season in the 30 or so years he has been in the business.
Malaysian newspaper The Star reported yesterday that vegetable farmers are worried the situation could get worse.
The state of Pahang, a major vegetable-farming region, has seen floods with more than a thousand people evacuated. The normal temperature of 18 deg C in Cameron Highlands has dipped to 13 deg C.
DROP IN YIELD
In Johor, farmers are reporting a 30 per cent drop in yield, pushing up prices of vegetables by 50 per cent to 100 per cent.
Flowers, especially chrysanthemums, from Cameron Highlands are also in short supply.
The chairman of the Fresh Flowers Wholesalers Association (Singapore), Mr Sky Yeo, said: "There has been (not much) sunlight for three weeks so the flowers don't blossom, and even if they do, the quality is not as good."
The chairman of the Singapore Fish Merchant's General Association, Mr Lee Boon Cheow, said that while seafood has not seen such a major impact, some items such as squid and red garoupa have become pricier.
Mr Alan Tan, who is in his 50s and owns Ming Kee Live Seafood restaurant in MacPherson Road, said it has been difficult to source pomfret and red garoupa.
"My suppliers said I might be getting fewer pomfrets than what I asked for this year," he said.
When contacted, FairPrice and Dairy Farm Singapore, which manages Giant and Cold Storage outlets, said there has been no significant price increase for fresh produce because their diversified sourcing has maintained a steady supply.
But food business owners and consumers have felt the trickle-down effect.
Mr Michael Wong, 22, who works at a yong tau foo store in Toa Payoh, said: "We have not had trouble sourcing vegetables, but the quality isn't as good."
A vegetable stall owner in Marsiling, Mr Richard Lim, who is in his 50s, said his business has been affected by the rise in prices, with tomatoes, for instance, costing $20 for 10kg, up from $13.
"It has been harder to sell them," he said.
Madam Lynn Tan, 52, a managing director, said she had problems trying to order sambal kangkung at a hawker centre over the weekend.
She said: "We were disappointed and had to order something else instead."

Purple Pineberry is a very well known strain in British Columbia, Canada. It became famous because it was an extremely dependable outdoor variety long before auto-flower strains existed on the market. People on the coast love it, its hardy and can handle adverse weather conditions. The original clone which we created this from finished flowering mid September at the 49th parallel.
The plants grow very bushy/branchy, and can withstand more wind and rain than many other varieties. The flowers are round and hard with a pine cleaner aroma. Medium high, that's long lasting..
Original Purple Pineberry is a "clone only" variety. Our Purple Pineberry we currently breed with is an F5 backcross. We created our version by outcrossing it with a Grapefruit male, then backcrossing it into the Purple Pineberry 5 times. After that we began the several year process of making it into an auto-flower feminized seed. Now we finally have it available!
Just in time for spring planting!
- 85 days from germination to harvest
- 16% THC
- approx. 80-100cm tall
- approx. 140 grams per plant outdoors


Pineapple plants are widely grown in the country. The peak ripening time for this tropical fruit coincides with summer when the hours of sunshine are longer. People in southern Viet Nam usually call this tropical fruit trai thom (fragrant fruit), which is literally a precise quote for the fruit since anyone who takes their first bite can surely notice the strong sweet smell. Since the smell of the pineapples lingers longer than that of some other fruits, connoisseurs find it difficult to forget.
Pineapples are processed into different products such as canned pineapple, pineapple liquor, sweet preserved pineapple liquor, and sweet preserved pineapple. There is also a special juicy drink that exists only in pineapple growing areas. Growers press the fruit into a juice which is then mixed with the yoke of a hen's egg before being thoroughly stirred together to become a muddy drink. The drink is said to be very sweet, creamy, and nutritious.

Investments Enhance McCain Potato Processing in Manitoba
McCain Foods (Canada), a division of McCain Foods Limited, is investing $75 million in infrastructure projects at Portage la Prairie and Carberry, Manitoba factories to further strengthen its potato processing presence in Western Canada.
“Our investments at both facilities are testaments to McCain’s ongoing commitment to growers, employees and the communities in which we operate in Manitoba,” said Jeff DeLapp, president of the company’s North America division.
From 2016 to 2019 McCain has committed a $45 million investment in the Portage la Prairie factory, including the installation of new high efficiency potato sorting system, as well as state-of-the-art processing and packaging equipment.
A new onsite waste water treatment, upgrades to the plant’s heating, freezing and refrigeration systems will improve the operation’s environmental footprint, and revamping the potato receiving area will allow multiple truck deliveries to unload more efficiently.
An investment of approximately $30 million will benefit the Carberry factory over the same time period. It will include the installation of auto sampling equipment, a blanching system and improved heating and refrigeration systems as well as other upgrades.
Dale Collingridge, production manager at the Carberry facility and a 42-year McCain employee, is overseeing the potato receiving area until the multi-million dollar investments are completed.
About McCain Foods
McCain Foods Limited is an international leader in the frozen food industry, employing more than 20,000 people and operating 53 production facilities on six continents. Privately owned and headquartered in Florenceville, New Brunswick, Canada, it generates annual global sales of approximately CDN$9 billion.

Yara with permanent NPK closure in Peremarton, Hungary
May 28, 2009
The Peremarton plant has an annual production capacity of 150,000 tons NPK. The production has been temporarily stopped since early October 2008. The plant became part of Yara with the acquisition of Kemira GrowHow in 2007, producing NPK fertilizer based on purchased nutrients. The plant lacks access to competitively priced raw materials and would need significant investments to bring it up to Yara efficiency and quality standards. The plant is neither flexible enough to accommodate the new market requirements regarding nitrogen, phosphate and potash combinations. The plant has 110 employees.
Yara will continue to fulfill customer contracts from built-up stock and alternative product sourcing, demonstrating Yara's flexible business model.

November. It's the month when you can no longer ignore the weather in the Pacific Northwest. The patchy rain of September and October become unrelenting and cold seeps into your bones. Another yearly reminder that we live in a land of drizzle and fog, swaddled in the clammy mist blanket thrown over us by the mountains.
The Yirgacheffe region of Ethiopia is not only on the other side of the world, but it is heading into a dry season. After 6 months of rains, the clouds are thinning and bringing warmer days and cooler nights. The rains have also ripened the coffee beans and as they dissipate in October trough December. It's time to harvest.
This month's Roaster's Picks come from Yirgacheffe and Kochere in the Sidama region of Ethiopia. They're grown at high altitude, which mutes the heat of the subtropical sun. The resulting coffee is silky smooth and tastes of lemons and berries — sweet, even without added sugar.
They're the perfect complement to our cold and contemplative days of autumn. Roasted to perfection, these are our most delicious varietals yet.

We all love beautiful lawns, but they can become the home of a veritable minefield of bugs and other terrible creatures. No one wants to see bugs and other types of creepy crawlies in their lawn or anywhere else on their property. While you may think that you’re able to get rid of them on your own, they aren’t always that easy to deal with. It can be a lot easier and better to call on professionals. A good pest control business can ensure that your lawn stays healthy and pest-free. Here are some tips on why you need lawn pest control.
The first reason you should have lawn pest control is that it will make your lawn healthier. Many pests can eat or destroy your grass and plants, which is not good for your lawn’s overall appearance and health. When you have pest control, you can prevent that from happening, which means that your lawn will be healthier. When you contact us, we will check for any possible signs of infestation on your lawn. We can identify certain insects that can cause damage to your plants and grasses. Therefore, when you treat these insects right away, it prevents further harm to your plants and grasses.
Good For Your Health
A lush lawn can be a great place to spend quality time with your family. Unfortunately, pests may also find it welcoming. Rats and mice carry many diseases so having them on your property is something that you want to avoid at all costs. If you have children, then this is even more important to consider. Many lawn pests carry diseases that can be transmitted to humans through contact. They can also carry viruses, fungi, and bacteria that affect humans and pets. Having regular lawn pest control can help eliminate these creatures from your yard and home, making it safer for everyone.
When you take care of lawn pest control, you’re going to be saving yourself a lot of time in the long run. This is because you won’t have to spend hours each week trying to get rid of pests. Having your lawn treated by a professional is a great way to save time. You won’t have to worry about mixing the chemicals or applying them properly. The professionals know how to apply the products and ensure they do it safely. If you want to save time, you should contact us right away!
Maintain Property Value
If you are a homeowner, you know how important it is to have a beautiful and healthy lawn. You also know that the best way to protect your investment in your home is to maintain your property value. The primary benefit of lawn care is that it allows you to maintain your home’s beauty and curb appeal. Many homeowners feel they must choose between having a beautiful yard and having a low-maintenance one. This isn’t true. In fact, an expertly maintained lawn can be more low maintenance than a neglected one!
Now that you know the top reasons why you should have lawn pest control, we hope you’ll decide to take the next step and contact us. If you choose to enlist the assistance of a professional company, be sure to request a free inspection so they can confirm pests are present in your home. We will also offer some free information on what treatment options are best for your infestation.

The concept of a baler is pretty simple.Read More
The concept of a baler is pretty simple.
The round baler is undoubtedly the most common type of baler in use today. It was invented in 1910 by Ummo Luebbens and produced commercially from 1947 by Allis-Chalmers. The bales it produces are actually cylindrical but the term is used to distinguish them from square bales. The bales have a similar structure to that of a thatched roof, insofar as they are designed to let water run off them. This makes them fairly resistant to bad weather. The mechanism has improved over the years to offer tighter, denser and better-wrapped bales but the basic technology hasn’t changed too much. A pick-up feeds the crop into the baler, where it is rolled internally by rubber belts and/or fixed rollers. When it reaches the target size, it is wrapped in twine or netting to hold the bale tightly together and it is then expelled from the rear of the machine.
Round balers come with fixed or variable chambers. The variable-chamber models typically make bales of between 120cm and 180cm in diameter and 150cm wide. Bales can weigh up to a tonne, depending on the crop, size and moisture content. Choosing a round baler involves a number of key decisions. The most obvious is probably capacity. The baler must be able to produce enough bales in any shift to satisfy your requirements. Size is another factor. The size of bale produced should suit your handling equipment and storage facilities. The baler should also be able to handle the type of crop you are producing. Many balers are both multi-crop and can be fixed or variable chamber, to allow you to select the most appropriate size.
The pick-up should be able to clear your field without leaving too much behind and the baler should be able to produce well-formed, tight and dense bales. The bales should be tied appropriately and some combined machines today will also wrap your bales in a single operation. You should ensure that the control and monitoring technology is readily understood and compatible with your tractor. As with all farm equipment, running costs make up a substantial portion of the total cost of ownership, so also take a look at the service intervals and make sure the user-maintained components are easily accessible.

I recently discovered Just One Tree – a San Francisco (SF) nonprofit with a focus on planting fruit trees for urban self-reliance. And it gets better. LEMON TREES! The lemon is my fruit. What can’t be done with a lemon?
Their goal is to plant 12,000 lemon trees in SF. If they hit their goal San Francisco will become the first American city to be self-sufficient in a tree crop. Just One Tree is making progress – 1,300 lemon trees are already in the ground. Can they do it without you? Maybe, but it will take too damn long. Now close your eyes and imagine SF transformed into a lemon utopia. Dreamy.

Spreader 6000 is an additive applicator with an operating range of 2–12 l/min. It is best suited for silage loader wagons and large trailed forage harvesters and smaller forage harvesters. Spreader applicators have an electronic controller that makes it possible to adjust and monitor the flow rate and the amount of preservative used easily and accurately.
With the two calculators you can observe the amount of preservative used, for example per load and per container. This allows you to see quickly whether there is enough preservative for one more load or if you need a refill, for example.
Spreader additive applicators have been designed for user-friendliness and easy maintenance. The electric cables and hoses are connected with quick couplers, which makes it easy to detach the acid applicator e.g. for winter storage or maintenance.
Switch the pump on and off by attaching a limit switch to the pick-up or by using the signal coming from the machine, for example. NB: A control relay must be attached when using the harvester’s pick-up signal.
Contents: Pump unit, Spreader controller, quick couplers and connecting cable (8 m).
- Pumping capacity 2–12 l/min
- Operating voltage 12 V
- Maximum power consumption 13 A

PepsiCo Opens Raw Materials Warehouse in Novosibirsk
A warehouse for raw materials worth USD30m, located in the Industrial and Logistics Park of the Novosibirsk region, has been built and put into operation by PepsiCo.
The new storage facility will ensure the operation of the company’s future plant of salty snacks. Modern storage technologies cut down potato losses by 3-7%, the company’s press service told TASS recently, cited also by Upakovano.ru.
“The new warehouse for raw materials worth about USD30m in investments meets all requirements to energy and resource conservation. It features container storage technologies, which help reduce potato losses by 3-7% compared to traditional storage. All processes at the warehouse are automated; walls and roofs have enhanced thermal insulation to cut down heat loss,” the message says.
Plant of Salty Snacks
According to PepsiCo’s president in Russia and the CIS, David Manzini, the plant for salty snacks, which is still under construction, will create more than 300 jobs by the end of the year, including vacancies for workers and technical specialists.
To provide the future plant with high-quality potatoes, this year the company invested about USD1.8m in the purchase of agricultural equipment for partners. At this moment, 20 farms in Siberia are ready to supply potatoes for PepsiCo’s products. Through a supplier development program in the region, the company plans to purchase 25,000 tons of potatoes of selected varieties from local agricultural producers.
The construction of a plant of salty snacks in the Industrial and Logistics Park (PLP) near Novosibirsk began in September 2020. The first two lines will be commissioned in late 2021.

Last week’s deluge brought welcomed rain to much of the nation’s dry midsection, but even the much-needed moisture wasn’t enough to break the drought.
According to the latest Drought Monitor report, drought conditions in Texas improved notably over the last week. Around one-third of the Lone Star is currently is extreme or worse drought, down from 40 percent last week.
Even with the improvement, however, officials warn another dry and hot summer could severely impact water levels in the state’s rivers and lakes.
Chris Riley, river operations center supervisor at the Lower Colorado River Authority, said this week's rains bought us a little more time, but, "If conditions don't improve and we don't get additional rainfall, then we're going to continue to see a drop - it's possible that we could be down to historic levels down later in the summer, around August," he told KVUE News.
In nearby Oklahoma, conditions also improved with last week’s rain, falling from 61 percent in extreme or worse drought to 55 percent. Even so, the drought has already decimated Oklahoma’s wheat crop.
NewsChannel Four’s Aaron Bracket says Oklahoma has not seen a drought like this in decades.
Bracket said, “You know this drought really is exceptional. We’re talking something we haven’t seen, in not just years, but decades in parts of Southwestern
Kansas is yet another state on the Plains battling intense drought. Farmers and ranchers across Sunflower State, where 48 percent is in extreme or exceptional drought, are already worried about another long, dry summer.
"They always say it's always rained before, it's going to rain again, but it never helps you in the time when you need it the most, such as this year," Aaron Williams, a Southeast Kansas Farmer said Nexstar Broadcasting.
According to the Kansas Water Office, Southeast Kansas drought conditions will remain the same or get worse for the next three months. The drought is expected to shift farther east than originally projected
In California, conditions remain the worst in the nation. More than three-quarters of the state is in extreme or worse drought – unchanged for the sixth consecutive week. Food prices in California and the rest of the country are feeling the pressure put on by the epic drought, and researchers at the University of California, Davis Center for Watershed Sciences estimate the drought will cause nearly $2 billion in damage along with “substantial long-term costs” of groundwater overdraft that will go unaccounted for.
