The Beginners Guide To (Finding The Starting Point)
– Getting Started & Next Steps


By Matthew Weaver, Copyright © Capital Press, February 8, 2023, Excerpts Reprinted with Permission
Wheat prices “probably won’t be quite as good [for farmers]” in 2023 as they were last year, a top grain economist says.
“We won’t see last year’s prices, we’ll be several dollars short of that,” said Randy Fortenbery, the Thomas B. Mick Endowed Chair in Small Grain Economics at Washington State University, told farmers during the Spokane Ag Show. “We can’t be thinking we’re going to see 2022 wheat prices … unless there’s some other shock that’s not being anticipated.”
Soft white wheat ranged from $8.45 to $8.55 per bushel on the Portland market as of Feb. 8. Fortenbery advised farmers to be careful about assuming they’ll see prices above $10 a bushel. He expects wheat prices to trade within a $3 to $3.50 a bushel range. About $9.25 to $10 per bushel would be the high end, he said. [Editor’s Note: USDA lowered its February forecast of average farm gate wheat prices in 2023 to $9.00 per bushel.]
A Different of Opinion
The council expects total world ending wheat stocks to be up 3% compared to last year and a 1.3% reduction in world wheat trade, which suggests a decline in prices. USDA projects world wheat stocks to be down 2.6% and trade to be up 5%, which suggests a price increase. Fortenbery said he leans toward the international council’s projections.
Both agencies agree the combination of Russia and Ukraine wheat exports will be up compared to last year. The flow of grain out of the Black Sea market appears to have stabilized the price impact of the conflict, Fortenbery said.
SW, SRW Back at Parity
The relationship between Portland white wheat prices and Chicago [soft red winter] wheat futures prices is returning to normal, after white wheat reached a peak of $3 above Chicago futures prices in recent years. The norm for Portland is closer to $1 above Chicago.
Because of the extreme difference, soft white prices didn’t respond last year when Russia invaded Ukraine, while Chicago [soft red winter] wheat prices “exploded,” rising to meet the higher white wheat prices, Fortenbery said. The relative prices are back in synch with each other, he said.
“If the Black Sea ends up being a problem again this spring, we’ll get some bump out of that,” he said.
The market doesn’t currently expect that, but risk remains, Fortenbery said.
Commodity prices generally look favorable in the next few months, but input costs are also at historic highs, Fortenbery said. Almost every major expense category was significantly higher last year compared to 2021; some were up to 60% or more.
He’ll be watching general inflation, which affects interest rates and production loans, and natural gas and refined fertilizer shipments from the Black Sea.

El Vergel - Colombia - Caturra - Espresso
"A Timeless washed Colombia with a sweet, balanced profile. A conscious washed process where water is recycled and treated."
We had been looking for the right washed Colombian for a long time. When our friends at El Vergel and Forest Green sent us samples for this delicious caturra it hit all the notes we were after. This coffee has red fruit, honey sweetness and a mellow acidity that will appeal to those who promote it and those who reject it alike. Their facilities in Fresno, Tolima, count with a water treatment facility that allows them to reuse the water for other washed coffees and irrigation. But that’s not all, as the Bayter family is also involved in social causes like furnishing the local school. Combine this epicurean coffee with sustainable practices and a social project behind it and you get exactly what we stand for.
The farm is called El Vergel and the owner of this beautiful farm is Martha Montenegro.
Located in the heart of Tolima, a region in Colombia that is well known for high grade coffees.
This coffee scores at 86 out of 100.
Finca El Vergel and neighbouring farms stand at approximately 1450m high elevation which leads to a high, refined sweetness in all their coffees.
The classic caturra variety is present in this community blend.
A conscious washed process where water is recycled and treated.
Impact & Community
Not only have they invested in their equipment and technology, the Bayters have also tried to help the community around them.
Alongside one of their buying partners, they’ve furnished the local school in Fresno, Tolima, which serves as a good example of the capability and scope of partnerships in the coffee industry. The Bayters also employ around 50 people in their estate, providing opportunities to the local community.
"To reduce water waste in washed coffees, the Bayter family has invested in a water treatment plant that allows them to reuse most of the water."
Back in the 90s, El Vergel Estate would sustain itself by growing and harvesting avocados, which proved to me quite harmful to the soil. Today, they are investing in efforts to regenerate the soil. The results thus far are quite significant and they’ve already witnessed a significant growth in native flora and fauna.

Agribusinesses Bayer and DuPont Pioneer have backed a $15 million investment vehicle for early stage agtech with a group of venture capital firms led by Finistere Ventures.
The Radicle fund will provide seed money and consulting services to genomics, seed tech, biological inputs, data and analytics companies.
The fund already has $6 million in commitments.
“By providing a seed funding round and comprehensive diligence, Radicle offers a unique platform to help entrepreneurs build a Series A finance-ready company faster, with less capital,” said Finistere Ventures partner Arama Kukutai.
Radicle will serve as an early stage compliment to the joint venture set up by Finistere and International Farming Corporation (IFC) in April, Willow Hill, which is aimed at linking growth-stage agtech companies and IFC’s farmland portfolio.
The accelerator boasts a physical presence in Israel and the US East and West Coasts and Midwest, and partnerships with public and private research institutions, representatives from the fund said.
Bayer and Syngenta Ventures also participated in an $11.5 million raise agtech and biotech incubator AgTech Accelerator in May. The investment platform aims to commercialise agricultural technology research from US universities.
This week, Rabobank announced the launch of a food and agtech accelerator called Terra.
Finistere Ventures is a California-based fund management firm focusing on agricultural innovation and life science investments. In February 2015, the firm held a $150 million first close on its second venture vehicle which is targeting $200 million, according to PEI Research & Analytics. The fund is expected to reach a final close as soon as this month, Agri Investor has reported.

Church Brothers Farms, Salinas, Calif., and grower-owned processor, True Leaf Farms, also based in Salinas, Calif., announced plans to build a new facility in Northern Mexico to increase year-round capacity.
The 110,000-square-foot plant is situated less than one mile from the international border in San Luis Rio Colorado.
The San Luis plant will employ approximately 250 people, and begin producing whole leaf lettuce, broccoli florets, iceless broccoli and green onions toward the end of 2018.
When completed, the new facility will be unique in that it will handle green onions in a ready-to-eat) facility, elevating the food safety environment in which they are packed from the field.
“We will be feeding this plant with product that we grow from both sides of the border,” says Brian Church, chief executive officer. “The new facility will allow us to produce during the summer months, wherein the past, we were limited to only green onions and other seasonal items. Now, we will be sourcing from Mexico year-round to meet our U.S. customers’ growing needs.”
CB Mexico is CTPAT (Custom Trade Partnership Against Terrorism)-certified, and is also strategically located 29 miles from the company’s two Yuma, Ariz., facilities and loading docks.

The season of Cardamom is now ending and the arrivals in the auctions have reduced by about 60% to about 300 tons weekly. The actual may be even lower considering that at least 15% of these stocks are re-pooled since the prices are going up. Most of these arrivals are in the rejection and lower grades.
The new crop arrivals are delayed by about 45 days and are now expected in the end of August. This has pushed the markets upwards by nearly $1 in small grades to $3 in the bold grades in the last month. Further, this delay has also considerably reduced the carry forward stocks of the 2015-16 crop season. This has encouraged stockists and speculators to play in the market and with holding stocks and pushing the prices up further. The range between the smallest and largest grades has widened indicating that the concentration of the speculators is in the bold grades.
All this indicates that the new season will start at high prices. The rains have been healthy since they started and the weather also has been cool. It is still early to make a guess on the crop and a reasonable estimate will be available only in end July or early August. Generally around this period rumors and speculators have a field day in pushing the prices up and the market being sensitive to news reacts almost immediately. Therefore, we feel that the prices will start at high levels whatever that may be and reduce only as the arrivals pick up.
We advise buyers to cover their immediate requirements for the next month or so.

|Male monarch on Asclepias subverticillata - Grand Canyon|
|Male Monarch in Flagstaff|
|Showy Milkweed, Asclepias speciosa, Flagstaff|
Over this past weekend the first monarchs were reported in Skull Valley, Sierra Vista and Canelo. It's an exciting time to see where they appear and set up breeding grounds. It will be at least another month before monarchs move into the lower desert. But you still have time to get ready for their arrival while you are waiting. Here are a few ways to prepare your garden:
|Female monarch on Tithonia|
- Our summer monsoon rains are blessing our land with much needed rain, but if you live in an area skipped by the storms do add supplemental water to your milkweed and nectar plants. This will help spur new growth.
- It's not too late to plant a crop of zinnias, cosmos or sunflowers. Our warm soils and rain will help them grow fast and you'll have a nectar banquet ready.
- If you are growing Tropical Milkweed, Asclepias curassavica, they probably are not looking very good right now. Cut the stems back at least a third and lightly fertilize to spur new growth. Monarchs will find the new growth especially inviting to lay eggs on as they sweep through in early September. Be sure to use only half the amount of recommended fertilizer in our summer heat to prevent burning. Liquid amendments are preferable to granular this time of year. Be sure to water deeply before you fertilize and again afterwards. Native milkweeds do not usually need this care.

With claims of outlasting and outperforming all different mild sources while consuming less vitality, LED technology is projected to be the way forward for the grow light trade. But as with all
rising technology, many low high quality LED grow lights overpromise and below-ship. Our choice of LED grow lights doesn't match this category. California Lightworks.
After our preliminary testing phase, Lush Lighting's LED grow lights went on to assist us survive a brutal summer season of heat,â stated NWWC's grasp grower. âOur flower room was getting
extremely scorching and the HVAC system was having a troublesome time maintaining. We replaced approximately 40 lights with LEDs and our temps dropped about 10F. The crops have been completely happy,
healthy and stuffed with crystals with no indicators of heat stress. Certainly one of our common sufferers commented on our Skywalker strain grown under LED and mentioned it was the âsmoothest,
finest tasting, greatest product' she had ever had out of our store and she's been a patient for almost 4 years. We love our Lush LEDs and will continue using them with nice success.â
Little or NO Heat Produced Unlike conventional lights, LED Grow Lights produce just about no additional heat. In a aspect-by-aspect study, a single-unit LED gentle had NO significant impression on
room temperature after 2 months of steady use! Lately, mainstream lighting corporations like Philips and Cree have launched progressive high intensity LED diodes whose coloration patterns might be
tailored to the specific wants of the hashish plant. Grow gentle firms are taking discover, and debuting new LED grow lights that leverage this technology. With electrical financial savings of about
70% these Mega LED grow lights will continually save electrical energy over its 50,000 to 100,000 hours lifetime. This grow light has whisper quiet fans andÂ low heat signatures. Yield Boosting
In order help individuals get over the preliminary hypothesis around switching to an LED grow , the company is offering a 90-day money back guarantee that covers any reason that a person is likely to
be sad with their purchase. If for any reason you might be sad during that time you can merely return it at no cost to you. When you resolve to maintain it, although, you can be covered for 3 years
in case you need to have something repaired or want to switch the LED grow gentle altogether.

shocked with the efficiency. Grower Bud
A plant's particular needs decide which lighting is most acceptable for optimum growth; synthetic gentle should mimic the pure mild to which the plant is best adapted. If a plant does not get enough
light, it is not going to grow, no matter different conditions. For example, greens grow greatest in full daylight, and to flourish indoors they want equally excessive light levels, whereas foliage
crops (e.g., Philodendron ) grow in full shade and may grow usually with a lot decrease gentle ranges.

Ayrshire Farm Announced as Finalist in Prestigious AgriScot Award
A sheep farmer from Ayrshire has been unveiled as one of three finalists in the AgriScot Scottish Sheep Farm of the Year Award, by AgriScot, Quality Meat Scotland (QMS) and award sponsors, Thorntons Solicitors.
The finalist farms, from the Borders and Ayrshire, were selected from a strong line-up of nominations this year. Whilst the businesses themselves are quite different, all are run by producers dedicated to producing first class, quality assured Scotch Lamb PGI.
The finalist farms are Sharpitlaw in Kelso run by Kevin Stewart, Orchardton Farm in Ayrshire run by James Nisbet, and Swinside Townfoot farm, Jedburgh run by Peter and Vicki Hedley.
All three farm businesses share a commitment to constantly looking for ways to improve productivity and efficiency.
The aim of the AgriScot Scottish Sheep Farm of the Year Award is to showcase excellence in sheep production in Scotland and to raise the profile of the dedication of the Scottish sheep farmers who produce Scotch Lamb PGI.
The recipient will receive a £500 cheque as well as a £250 voucher to celebrate their success at a Scotch Beef Club restaurant. The club, run by QMS, has around 150 members committed to serving top quality Scotch Beef PGI. The award recipient will be revealed at AgriScot on Wednesday 20 November. The announcement will be made at noon in the main ring.
The assessors for the award are Hamish Dykes, AgriScot Board member, Kate Rowell, QMS Chair and Neil McGowan, winner of the AgriScot Scottish Sheep Farm of the Year 2018.
Hamish Dykes. AgriScot Board member commented: “It was fantastic to see so many applications from a wide range of sheep enterprises across Scotland. The AgriScot Scottish Sheep Farm of the Year is a fantastic platform for help raise the profile of the dedication and passion of sheep farmers in Scotland who work hard to produce top-quality Scotch Lamb PGI the industry is renowned for.”
QMS Chair, Kate Rowell, added: “It was great to visit the three finalists where we examined all aspects of their business, from a high standard of technical and financial performance to the implementation of new ideas to improve efficiency and profitability.”
The assessors also looked to gauge the passion and enthusiasm of the farmer, and any family and staff who may also work on the farm, to efficiently produce high quality livestock.
James Nisbet of Orchardton Farm, Ayrshire commented: “As a business we are excited to be one of three finalists for the AgriScot Scottish Sheep Farm of the Year, and we are honoured to reach this stage of the award. It’s been a pleasure to welcome the assessors on farm to let them see our approach to farming sheep in Ayrshire.”
Kenneth Mackay, Partner in the Land and Rural Business team Thorntons Solicitors said: “We are proud to be sponsors of both the Scottish Sheep Farm of the Year and Scotch Beef Farm of the Year awards. AgriScot is keen to recognise all elements of the agricultural sector and we are delighted to be able to help them achieve that goal.”
All farms producing lambs destined to be used for meat sold under the Scotch Lamb PGI label were eligible to apply for the award and accordingly they were also required to be members of QMS’s quality assurance scheme

The Silent Auction will be held Wednesday night and features lots of great items, including 100 acres worth of grid soil sampling from SGS!


A while ago, Farmers Weekly ran a survey to determine farming’s most useful invention. Understandably, I think, the mobile phone topped the list.
However, the humble tow rope is a worthy contender. Loyal, willing, undemanding and standing by, the baler-twine-on-steroids will eagerly attempt to rescue any stranded item of farm machinery no matter how big or small. And, unlike a mobile phone, it doesn’t really mind when you throw it into a dusty workshop corner or drag it through thick mud. Even better, there’s no monthly bill to deal with either.
At a farm show this spring, we were seduced by a “show-special price” and decided to replace our elderly tow rope. In doing so, perhaps we inadvertently jinxed ourselves and brought the onslaught of rain that has caused all our problems. I certainly didn’t anticipate using the new tow rope quite as much. It’s making an appearance around the farm almost daily; it is so familiar it almost needs a name. It’s like an umbilical cord, providing a lifeline to the stricken sprayer as we struggle to get across the potato crop.
We planted 122ha (305 acres) of potatoes, this spring. My educated guess is we have approximately 80ha (200 acres) remaining of decent crop. A 20ha (50 acre) field has already been written off as a total loss by our crop insurance and we have a claim pending for flooded parts in other fields that will be a similar if not larger area.
Industry speculation is that at least 20% of the Alberta processing potato crop has been lost. If you include the contract reductions too, then potato tonnage produced in the province will be drastically reduced this season. It’s a gloomy outlook for harvest 2010 already and the daunting reality is we are now entering our prime hail risk period.

Designed ideally for pruning both live and dead wood, hard branches of plants and others. The straight blades are similar as a scissors but perform better due to the wholly heat treated blades, not just cutting edges. With proper care this tool will provide years of satisfied use.
All product images shown are for illustration purposes only. Actual products may varies in term of size, type, brand, version, colour, and other relevant characteristics.


Still a bit of work to do, but we are getting there with our preparations for the new growing season. The weather has been generally kind which has allowed us to get on with the work. The pruning is finished and since the picture above was taken we have been through with the machine that chops up all the prunings that you can see in the grassed rows. It is looking like bud burst is going to be early this year (more news soon) so no time to waste!

Wheat farmers signing up for U.S. farm program benefits in early 2015 were asked to select between a revenue-based program (Agricultural Risk Coverage – ARC) or a price based program (Price Loss Coverage – PLC). Once a choice was made, the choice was binding over the entire life of the 2014 Farm Bill. This created a challenge because the two programs generate very different benefit streams under different market scenarios. The ARC program generally provides superior benefits if prices stay above the PLC target price ($5.50 per bushel for wheat), or if producers expected significant yield variation over the life of the farm bill. If market prices fall below the PLC target, and yields are stable or increasing, the PLC program will generally provide greater protection. The analysis presented here
looks at the cost to Washington wheat producers associated not being able to switch between ATC and PLC as market condition change.


It’s Michael Pollan‘s fault I joined a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farm.
I am sure I am not alone in declaring that.
Last summer I ended up on the waiting list of Kretschmann Organic Farm, and I started receiving winter boxes, which were chock full of winter veggie and fruit goodness (apples, squash, potatoes, carrots).
I’ve started receiving their summer season boxes this summer. And I love them.
As Dan stated the other day at dinner, “This is how salad is supposed to taste.” Flora, likewise, has declared salads made with their greens, “the best salad I’ve ever tasted.”
This pleases me to no end, for obvious reasons. We’ve gotten mesclun greens, bibb lettuce, arugula, and green leaf lettuce, as well as spinach. So, so good.
The trickiest thing about receiving so much tasty, fresh, organic produce and herbs is, simply, using it all.
I’ve twice had to ditch the Swiss chard because it wilted before I could saute it with garlic. I wanted to make pesto with the sweet pea greens I got the first week, but they wilted before I got to them too.
Much of this, of course, is not having tons of time to cook throughout the week, or for that matter, the weekend. I’ve started making it more of a priority, though, because it’s too depressing to lose these fresh greens. We chow down on salads pretty steadily Thursday through Monday (Thursday is the day I pick up my box), which means eating more at home, which in itself is a relief.
I was hoping to have some new recipes, too, but really, you all know how to make a salad.
I’ve also been getting beets, and here’s what you can do with beets (to my knowledge): roast ’em or boil ’em. We had boiled beets this past weekend (the kids won’t try them yet), and they were so good and sweet. Neither Dan nor I even put anything on them, no butter, no salt, no pepper. And they are super easy: cut off the greens, leaving about 2 inches of the tops; boil for about 40 minutes; cool and peel.
We’ve been getting strawberries, too, and all you need to know about strawberries is they don’t last a day in my house. Between the four of us, we pretty much devour them instantly. I barely get them washed before the kids are eating them — straight, no sugar.
I’d love to get some and have them last long enough to make muffins, but so far, I haven’t managed to hide them fast enough.
I’ll try harder with the blueberries, due to start showing up this week.
If you shop at farmer’s markets, but haven’t tried a CSA yet, I encourage you to sign up for one. Kretschmann’s is just one of many, many options in the Pittsburgh market. Along with the weekly boxes, they email weekly newsletters about what is going on on the farm and with recipes. Someday, maybe this fall, I’m hoping to contact them and take the girls to see where our food comes from.
I not going to get up on any type of locavore, organic foods soapbox here — there are plenty of activists and authors out there who have intelligent, interesting things to say (Michael Pollan being right up there). I’ll just leave you with the first line from Pollan’s book In Defense of Food, which is pretty much all you need to know:
“Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”

Middlesex County’s Office of Extension Services has officially inducted 45 Master Gardeners.
“Since 1984, nearly 8,000 residents statewide have been trained through the Master Gardener program,” Middlesex County Freeholder Director Ronald G. Rios said of a graduation ceremony held Feb 18 in Middlesex County. “Middlesex County’s program is among the most active in the state, and we congratulate our graduates and newest members.”
Master Gardeners are community volunteers trained in earth-friendly gardening and environmental principles. In Middlesex County, there are almost 250 active Master Gardeners assisting the Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Middlesex County staff and faculty in various capacities, including the dissemination of research-based information at community events, conducting workshops, answering garden inquiries on the “Helpline” and managing various demonstration and display gardens.
The local gardeners include Debbie Antosh of Marlboro; Stacy Approvato and Susann Joski of North Brunswick; Kathryn Berish of South Amboy; Anne Marie Cerankowski of Monroe; Rachel Collier and Kimberly Curtis of Parlin; Monica Dobbs, Evelyn Fuertes, Laurie Hart and Krisantia Ritzdorf of Metuchen; Brianna Hall of South River; Karen Kellerman of Laurence Harbor; Susanne Klein of Matawan; Theresa Kinlan of Long Branch; Grace Kosmyna and Stephanie Rudd of Old Bridge; Peter LaFrance of Freehold; Joseph Majka of Colonia; Dawn Milburn and Scott Shapses of Milltown; Linda O’Brien of Spotswood; Sharon Sayegh and Sal Siciliano of East Brunswick; an Francesca Gervasi and Gayle Schlett of Edison.
In Middlesex County, the training portion of the Master Gardener program lasts for one year. The program begins and ends in September with weekly classes from fall to spring, followed by hands-on activities in the vegetable and herb gardens during the growing season. Middlesex County has a day program on Friday mornings and an evening program on Thursdays.
“Our Master Gardeners help us protect the beauty and environmental health of Middlesex County,” said Middlesex County Freeholder Kenneth Armwood, chair of the county’s Business Development and Education Commission. “We thank our volunteers for sharing their education and knowledge with our residents.”
The county’s Extension Office is part of a nationwide network that brings the research of the state land-grant universities to local people. Rutgers Cooperative Extension offices throughout New Jersey are cooperatively funded by the county Board of Chosen Freeholders, Rutgers University-New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
For more information about the Master Gardeners, call 732-398-5260.

The sunflower that grows in any climate
No matter where you live, you can enjoy a full summer of Sunflowers with this new variety. Vincent’s? Fresh Hybrid F1 Sunflower is a breeding breakthrough, bringing you pollen-free blooms that face upward instead of nodding. Bright, eye-catching, and long-lasting, they are about to become your all-time favorite.
The secret of Vincent’s? Fresh Hybrid F1 Sunflower success is that it doesn’t depend on daylength (hours of sunlight) to grow and bloom. This means that you can start the seeds much earlier and continue them much later than other varieties. You may get somewhat smaller blooms at the beginning and end of the long summer season, but they will still come—and if you live in a climate where summer can be brief, Vincent’s? Fresh Hybrid F1 Sunflower will stretch it out magnificently for you.
Vincent’s? Fresh Hybrid F1 Sunflowers reach 5 to 6 feet high at the height of the season, with large blooms of bright gold around a startling pale green eye—unlike any other in the garden. They are pollen-free, so you can cut them for the vase without worrying about making a mess. And Vincent’s? Fresh Hybrid F1 Sunflowers grow with their heads facing up and out, instead of nodding like many other Sunflowers. So showy and bright.
Vincent’s? Fresh Hybrid F1 Sunflowers almost looks double-flowered, thanks to an extra ring of overlapping bright gold petals. This keeps the bloom vibrant, and the stronger stem makes sure it can hold its head up over the long duration of its bloom. So much more manageable as a cut-flower than most other sunflowers.
Direct sow Vincent’s? Fresh Hybrid F1 Sunflower Seeds every week or two from spring (when the soil has warmed) through midsummer. You will keep fresh blooms coming all season. And give Vincent’s? Fresh Hybrid F1 Sunflowers a try in your Three Sisters Companion Planting, too. Its strong stem makes the perfect support for beans to climb.

The dry Rayalaseema region will be made in to a prosperous Rathanalaseema, promised Chandrababu Naidu, at the Janmabhoomi Maa Vooru programme, at Dubugunta village of Nandyal mandal in Kurnool district. He said that his government would do everything to uplift the backward district. Industries will be set up and youth will be trained in skills to obtain jobs, he said. He announced all sorts of benefits to farmers.


Ok cool. I'm not sure which way would be better, just wanted to know which way you went.They came from 12/12 flower and were rooted along with the other normal cuttings in the veg space at 18/6.
I want them rooting, not flowering so that's why they got moved. If you left them on a flower cycle I would think they'd be harder to root since root development is supposed to slow dramatically after stretch.
But, whatever. I moved them to a veg cycle and got roots in about 3 weeks which is approximately 1 week longer than it's been typically taking. But, temps are also falling and I haven't engaged the seedling heat mat yet.

AbstractGiven an equipment complement, a specific crop mix has a probability distribution for whole-farm net returns. Increasing crop acreage while holding the set of equipment constant will reduce fixed costs per acre, but it will also increase the length of time required to complete crucial field operations such as planting and harvesting.

Jinxproofs Mothertongue Description
Please note: This strain was distributed from TGA genetics until 2019.
Parents: Electric Watermelon & Jesus OG Kush
Havest: 56-60 days
Yield: Medium to Heavy
Recommended for many farming styles. She is typically sativa dom, so she can stretch quite a bit, and can handle a heavy prune late in veg, or 2 weeks into flower for a nice even canopy. This will also encourage larger bud production.
The most common pheno is a large producing sativa dominant pheno. A very hearty OG with an intensely sweet aroma throughout that emerges into a combination of sugary, skunky fruit. The yield is impressive as is the early calex production and frosty resin throughout the entire plant. The large, dense nuggets are evenly spaced amid the branches. Spectacular orangy-red leaves shade this beauty. The sugar production is epic!
Have you ever been hit in the face with a slice of watermelon? Ready or not, here it comes.. Along with a wide variety of fruity profiles ranging from robust berry and pungent melon overtones, to spiced cider and slight green coffee bean notes with a pervasive sweet citrus aftertaste. Leaves you wanting more!
Strong and lasting body high that encourages mind clarity. Enhances daytime productivity while providing an uplifting of spirits. Known to relieve stress, anxiety and depression while aiding in pain relief.
Approx 24% THC

KUALA LUMPUR: Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) has formed a strategic partnership with Agrobank to offer micro-financing worth RM100 million to Bottom 40 micro-entrepreneurs in the agricultural and agro-based sectors.
Petronas’ president and chief executive officer Tan Sri Wan Zulkiflee Wan Ariffin said the financing investment allocated by the oil and gas company will be disbursed over five years and managed by Agrobank’s B40 micro-financing facilities programmes.
The initiative he said, was in line with Petronas’ Statement of Purpose to be a progressive energy and solutions partner, enriching lives for a sustainable future as well as its commitment to support United Nation’s eight sustainability development goals related to decent work and economic growth.
“As the agricultural sector and the agro-based industry are important catalysts in the nation’s development, the Malaysian government is focusing on sustainable development to strengthen this community’s capacity and skills especially for the B40 group who are often overlooked.
“Petronas believes the empowering of the B40 target group in the agriculture sector through comprehensive financing and skills enhancement under the program will generate skilled entrepreneurs, indirectly accelerating the growth of human resource capabilities, technological innovation and productivity in the agricultural sector which will further boost the economy and the development of the country as a whole, “ said Wan Zulkiflee at the partnership signing ceremony here today.
Economic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali and Agriculture and Agro-base Industry Minister Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub witnessed the signing ceremony.
Meanwhile, Agrobank covering president and chief executive officer (CEO) Khadijah Iskandar said the financing would be given up to 100 per cent from the entire operational cost at the bank’s lowest interest rate of 2.0 per cent per annum.
“The aim of the initiative is to empower the B40 group with the goal of providing a better standard of living for them.
“This collaboration will further expand Agrobank’s reach to enhance financial access to agro-based communities with diverse expertise,” she added.
At present, Agrobank has over 11 micro-finance programmes nationwide covering paddy cultivation, chilli fertilizer, oil palm, dairy cows, pineapple, swallow bird and many more. - Bernama

|I have a container garden with plants in close proximity, so when I found what I was told were spider mites on two small dahlias, I quarantined them and started spraying all my plants with Neem Oil every other week. The dahlias didn't make it, but I have continued spraying every 2 weeks. My plants all look healthy and pest-free, and I'm wondering if I'm just making work for myself.
A related question: if I *am* going to continue spraying, would soapy water work just as well? I have read so many different ways to make an effective pesticide with soapy water, like add vinegar, add oil, use this kind or that kind of soap, that my head is spinning.
Thanks for any feedback.

|Just saw your Q. Hope u other plants made it. I've had results with 1 Tbl. Dawn to 1 gallon water. Mites are tuffies. Be diligent ! Spray undersides and tops (if present) of leaves every 3 or 4 days. It will take several doses or more.
Anything i say, could be misrepresented, or wrong.

With a lot of help and support from all of our fellow Go-Fer’s we were able to establish ourselves as a farm in Southern NH! We are planning to proudly serve the local communities of Rockingham County, as well as the Merrimack Valley Area down into Haverhill, MA and further if needed!
Our mission is simple: Go-Fer Farms LP is dedicated to getting fresh, healthy and local vegetables to those within the community, one Go-Fer at a time!
The goal is to grow with the community that is already established. Locally sourced vegetables is something that lacks in our area in Southern, NH and Go-Fer Farms is dedicated to connecting with others that have this very same mindset.
Our Crate Program is sure to connect us, as well as the farmer’s markets that surround us.

JSE-listed Barloworld and German company BayWa have entered into a joint venture (JV) to further expand their agriculture and materials handling operations in Southern Africa.
Subject to approval by competition authorities, the parties will establish a 50:50 JV company, BHBW Holdings, which will start operations in early 2017.
BHBW will have distribution rights for US-based agriculture company Agco’s Massey Ferguson and Challenger brands in the agriculture sector, and Hyster-Yale’s Hyster and UTILEV brands in the materials handling equipment sector.
Management, staff and infrastructure remain in place, as does the existing Barloworld Agriculture dealer network.
“This JV offers us the opportunity to further expand in a growth region of main strategic importance for global agriculture,” said BayWa CEO Klaus Josef Lutz.
He added that the JV would address the long-term demand in the Southern African region for increased productivity and economic strength of its agricultural sector. Lutz noted that agricultural trade acted as a main driver for the mechanisation and sustainable development of local agriculture.
In combination with the trading business, BayWa is planning to introduce digital farming solutions based on the group’s existing digital portfolio and experience with Agco products.
Barloworld CEO Clive Thomson added that there were good opportunities for agriculture and materials handling in Southern Africa and, through combining the core competencies of the JV, the companies could build a bigger and more successful business while also creating jobs and improving food security in the region.
This is the second JV between Barloworld and BayWa. In 2015, the companies established a similar 50:50 partnership in Zambia.

Cantabrians should be celebrating the announcement of Government funding to progress the Central Plains Water scheme – as agriculture like no other industry – has the ability to help fund Canterbury’s rebuild, says IrrigationNZ CEO Andrew Curtis.
The Irrigation Acceleration Fund will co-fund $1.71million for preliminary design and planning for Central Plains Water’s headrace canal and pipe distribution network. Construction is expected to start this September with the scheme delivering ‘first water’ to some areas for the start of the 2014/15 irrigation season.
“Central Plains Water will generate significant socio-economic benefit for a region that desperately requires economic stability. IrrigationNZ supports this grant as Selwyn farmers are ready to invest in sustainable irrigation. No other industry in Canterbury can produce such immediate revitalisation of the community. We are talking new construction jobs, increased on-farm labour and contracting demand, as well as downstream spending which will be spread across Christchurch and Canterbury.”
“We now look forward to hearing when other developing schemes in the region, particularly the Hurunui Water Project, will receive support from the IAF. North Canterbury also holds vast potential to assist Christchurch’s rebuild through increased agricultural production,” says Mr Curtis.
Mr Curtis says Green Party claims that the Central Plains Water scheme would be environmentally detrimental did not marry up with the reality of the scheme.
“Central Plains Water will restore stream flows which will improve the health of aquatic eco-systems and also relieve pressure on the aquifers by irrigating from surface water in stage 1 rather than deep groundwater. Irrigators will also have to sign up for farm management plans which will carefully monitor environmental effects. It appears the Green Party has not taken into account how closely this approach marries up with the Canterbury Water Management Strategy’s goal of moving towards a more sustainable and reliable supply of irrigation water,” says Mr Curtis.
Irrigating farmers will soon be growing ‘more crop per drop’ thanks to IrrigationNZ and the government’s Sustainable Farming Fund (SFF). Minister for Primary Industries, Hon. Nathan Guy, announced the successful SFF projects this week, with IrrigationNZ awarded funding to develop….. Read more

Update on my clones at 27 weeks. 4 strains, outdoor grow, Northern California.
I harvested 6 Chocolate Tonic CDB plants. It may be an early harvest, just random amber trichomes, mostly white trichomes, but CBD matures earlier than THC.
Fresh cuttings in the blue bin, hydrogen peroxide wash in the second bin with a weight holding the floating weed down, then a rinse bin, then an empty plastic bin to take the wet dripping buds to drying racks.
Drying inside a shed, probably 5 days or so, then into paper bags until I get around to trimming it.
