Senators introduce bill to protect maple industry
WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand have introduced legislation that would make intentionally mislabeling food products as "maple syrup" a federal crime. Currently, this form of food fraud is only a misdemeanor. The legislation would make these crimes a felony, increasing sentences that prosecutors can seek for people who defraud consumers and farmers by intentionally mislabeling maple syrup.

ABIDJAN/NEW YORK, Jan 16 (Reuters) - More small cocoa exporters in Ivory Coast were unable to fulfill their international contracts at the end of last year, and sources at the country's cocoa board told Reuters that this group asked to postpone 70 percent of October-to-December commitments due to a lack of financing. Each year, the cocoa board of top grower Ivory Coast (CCC) sells forward most of its expected harvest, a portion of which is allocated to small exporters. In October through December, small exporters were allocated contracts amounting to 180,000 tonnes of cocoa.
French commodities trader Louis Dreyfus Co vaulted ahead to third place in the rankings for Brazil's biggest soy exporters in 2018, locked in a virtual dead heat with China's COFCO, according to annual shipping data. Bunge Ltd continued to top the rankings, while Cargill Inc remained in second place, according to data from shipping company Williams compiled by Reuters. Brazil, the world's largest soybean exporter, shipped a record 84 million tonnes of the oilseeds in 2018 after harvesting its largest crop ever, with most of it going to China.
ABIDJAN/NEW YORK, Jan 11 (Reuters) - Farmers in top cocoa grower Ivory Coast say the current crop is worsening, with beans starting to rot, as lack of financing prevents them from properly fermenting and drying beans already stressed by bad weather. Front-month New York cocoa futures traded on ICE have risen nearly 15 percent since the start of December, mainly on worries over consistently dry weather in Ivory Coast, traders said. The conditions were brought on by seasonal Harmattan winds that sweep in sand from the Sahara, which can ravage cocoa pods and sap soil moisture, leading to smaller beans.

Clarification of Juice from Whole Sugar Cane Crop Final PhD seminar presented by Caroline Thai
In the Australian sugar industry, fluctuations of raw sugar prices have resulted in interest to increase the amount of biomass, so that product diversification to platform chemicals, ethanol and cogeneration can be realised. Harvesting the whole sugar cane crop, WC (i.e., green cane stalk and tops and leaves, viz. trash), will bring in significant amounts of biomass that could be used to ass value. However, juice expressed from WC is difficult to process into raw sugar of acceptable qualitative and in high yield.
In this presentation, the composition and colloidal chemistry of particles present in different types of juices, and the impact trash impurities have on coagulation and flocculation processes will be evaluated. This is to provide insights as to why it is difficult to process juice expressed from WC, and provide options to improve the clarification of WC juice.
Caroline Thai is a final year PhD student from the Sugar Research Innovation at the Centre for Tropical Crops and Biocommodities based at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in Brisbane. Caroline’s PhD scholarship was funded by the Sugar Research and Development Corporation, Sugar Research Limited and QUT.
Caroline has recently submitted her PhD thesis for internal review and will present results from her PhD research during a seminar at QUT on Monday the 24th of June at 12:00 noon.
Event: Final PhD seminar presentation – Studies on the Clarification of Juice from Whole Sugar Cane Crop

Marrone Bio Innovations and Valagro sign agreement
Marrone Bio Innovations, Inc. (MBI), a global provider of bio-based pest management and plant health products and Valagro S.p.A, a leader in the production and marketing of plant biostimulants and high efficiency nutritionals announced they have signed an agreement to collaborate in the discovery and development of agricultural products. Under the agreement the companies will provide each other access to certain intellectual property, active ingredients, and formulations and evaluate the performance of combinations of technologies for commercial use.
According to Alison Stewart, Ph.D., MBI senior VP of R&D and chief technology officer, "The research and development capabilities of the two companies are very complementary. Initially, we will focus on three areas of collaboration: Valagro will evaluate combinations of its biostimulants with MBI biologicals for synergistic effects; MBI will utilize its in-house screening program to assess Valagro bioactives for pesticidal activity; and both companies will co-develop MBI late-stage plant health bioactives leveraging Valagro technologies."
Prem Warrior, Ph.D., Valagro chief operating officer, also sees great promise in the collaboration. "The synergy between Valagro and MBI is very high. Both companies are strongly committed to advancing the potential of bio-based compounds to improve plant health and yield potential in a wide variety of crops.

It also contains grass species like Timothy, fescues and clovers to ensure a diverse habitat once established. The seed mix, designed to create permanent buffer areas and field margins, will provide an ideal nesting area for farmland birds and a superb habitat for pollinators.
“We have developed this new Field Margin Mix in partnership with the Campaign for the Farmed Environment (CFE) and BASF,” says Limagrain’s Martin Titley. “It is specifically designed to increase biodiversity without compromising productivity. The mixture is also suitable for the new Countryside Stewardship scheme, now open for new applications. It can also be used under the Greening rules and sown on Ecological Focus Area fallow land.”
The mid-tier element of the Countryside Stewardship scheme aims to reward farmers who address environmental issues, such as the establishment of flower rich margins that provide important habitats and foraging areas. Field Margin Mix is ideal for this and can be sown in spring, through to late summer.

The municipality of Ciudad Bolivar, located amongst lush vegetation, wide and majestic landscapes, has been named so since 1962 and through the hard work of the residents become an important centre for urban and rural development. It now has the reputation of the “Capital of Southwest of Antioquia”. The imposing Samanes trees of the town square still afford the typical pleasure of Antioquia towns – the ability to gather in the shade with friends over a cup of coffee.
As a regional coffee, cherries are picked and wet processed and dried in silos on the individual farms and then brought to the central collection point where they are graded, quality controlled and tasted. This grouping allows the character of the area to be maintained whilst providing access to a bigger market for the smallholder farmers, that typically would not be able to reach that far on their own.

|Title:||Transcriptome-wide Mapping of RNA 5-Methylcytosine in Arabidopsis mRNAs and non-coding RNAs|

|Abstract:||Post-transcriptional methylation of RNA cytosine residues to 5-methylcytosine (m5C) is an important modification with diverse roles, such as regulating stress responses, stem cell proliferation, and RNA metabolism. Here, we used RNA bisulfite sequencing (bsRNA-seq) for transcriptome-wide quantitative mapping of m5C in the model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana. We discovered more than a thousand m5C sites in Arabidopsis mRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and other non-coding RNAs across three tissue types (siliques, seedling shoots, and roots) and validated a number of these sites. Quantitative differences in methylated sites between these three tissues suggest tissue-specific regulation of m5C. Perturbing the RNA m5C methyltransferase TRM4B resulted in the loss of m5C sites on mRNAs and non-coding RNAs and reduced the stability of tRNAAsp(GTC). We also demonstrate the importance of m5C in plant development, as trm4b mutants have shorter primary roots than wild type due to reduced cell division in the root apical meristem. In addition, trm4b mutants show increased sensitivity to oxidative stress. Finally, we provide insights into the targeting mechanism of TRM4B by demonstrating that a 50 nt sequence flanking m5C C3349 in MAIGO5 mRNA is sufficient to confer methylation of a transgene reporter in Nicotiana benthamiana.|

So whats everyone going to grow or already has growing this year.
As for me I have several varieties of Daffodils, early mid and late bloomong varietires, milti-flowering and double flowering varieties. Some all yellow some whitre with yellow centewr and some yellow with red centers.
Tulips too many varieties to mention, red white yellow purple and multicolored.
Hyacinths in yellow white pink red purple and blue.
Day Lillies, Asian Liillies
Peonies, red white and pink
White Shasta Daisies
a flowering White Star Magnolia
Beared Iris Cerulean Blue and white with Yellow beards.
English Tea Roses (red)
White and Purple Lilacs
Now onto the Urban Orchard
Grapes (white seedless and red seedless)
Red Lake Currants
Thats what I have so far but I will probably add another grape (concord) and when I get rid of the dying maple I may add another fruit tree.
The perennial flower beds are becoming too thick and will have to be dug up this fall and everything divided. (More Flowers) in expanded beds. The peonies are monsters and I dont know what to do with them.


Thank you for submitting a review!
Your input is very much appreciated. Share it with your friends so they can enjoy it too!
I am feeling so lucky and blessed. My plants have arrived. We are going through awful heat and drought at the moment. With this in mind I almost did not order what I have been looking and waiting for. Truthfully I should not have stressed over the delivery. My beautiful healthy little plants arrived really well packed and protected. They were moist and fresh and did not look back at all when planted. I would not hesitate to recommend purchasing from Mudbrick Herb Cottage. This is not my first purchase from them and Definitely will not be my last.
Hi Sandra Yes they both arrived in perfect condition,when I went to plant them there was noway they would come out of the small tub they were in I think the roots had adhered to the wall of the tub Itried to pull the first one out ,Icould feel the roots tearing off,so I had to cut them both out ,which really disturbed the soil around the root system,one of them has had a battle ,lost most of its leaves, the other one is going well, but the one that was damaged now has a lot of tiny leaves coming on the stems, maybe you should try to get one of the plants out see what happens!!
Hi thanks, for licorice tree, received well packed and is going good in my garden, will take pictures of it regularly in Portland, Victoria. Great service , and I'm interested In growing variety of berries, and got seeds on line of cranberries and hoping they will grow, keep me posted on new items that come in. TRACEY

Further confirmation of the low availability of Washed coffee came in the ECX December stocks which reported the lowest Washed coffee stocks in the last 4 years as follows:
This confirms our previous assertions that there was little 18/19 Washed coffee stocks in country; in addition arrivals of New Crop are also very much reduced, resulting in current ECX stocks being 3,000 MT lower than this time last year.
Meanwhile the crop in Guji area is at its peak with coffee ripe and picking heavy; there are some rumours that washing station owners are running short on cash to continue to buy at the current pace due to cash flow restrictions ( last year the price was 12 Birr/kg vs this year 20 Birr/kg) and the hording of processed stocks waiting for further devaluation of the Birr vs the USD before coffee is moved to ECX warehouses and offered for sale. Some stakeholders are expecting the price of cherry to fall next week as there will be less cash in the growing areas and fewer buyers.
Weather continues to favour a healthy development of the crop and processing.
Prices at ECX continue high due to reduced volumes on offer. We expect that at some point soon this situation will normalise and agrabes will start turning coffee into cash so that they can continue to operate at farm gate level.

Pruning a Gardenia
My gardenia is indoors during the winter and it is getting rather large. Can I prune it? If so, please give me some tips on how to do it successfully.
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
Cutting back by no more than 1/3 would be ok to do. If you are pruning to prepare it for coming indoors, you can do it right before you bring it in. That being said, unless you really need to prune it, due to size reasons, we would say just leave it unpruned when you bring it in. Pruning it will risk reducing the number of blooms you will get over the next year. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/gardenia/when-to-prune-a-gardenia.htm


China Paddy and Rice Processing Industry Report, 2011-2012
In consideration of Wanfu Biotechnology’s first-mover advantage, enterprises represented by Yihai Kerry Group and COFCO Rice Division depend on their scale advantage as well as existing brands and channels to set foot in the paddy and rice processing industry. Such enterprises are dominant producers of small packing polished rice, while the sales volume of small packing polished rice accounts for less than 10% of the rice consumption in China at present. As people pay more and more attention to the nutritional and healthcare function of rice, these enterprises will see a promising market development prospect. However, Beidahuang and Jinjian, also being producers of small packing polished rice, have relatively low profitability due to regional and production scale restrictions.
Representative enterprises in the third mode and the fourth mode, such as Shanghai Rong Xuan Hang and Wuhan Jiabao, only focus on the development of rice albumen powder, rice starch sugar and the like in the industry chain. In spite of small number of product categories, they also see huge development potential owing to relatively higher technical barriers and prosperous market demand. Taking rice starch sugar product as an example, it is gradually replacing cane sugar featured with insufficient quantity and high price due to its low cost and sufficient raw materials; and its output is expected to reach 1.7 million tons in 2013 in China, and its proportion in the total output of starch sugar will rise to 14.2% from 12.8% in 2006.

India Pulses and Grains Association (IPGA), the nodal body for India’s pulses trade and industry co-hosted a webinar on chickpeas and lentils along with Pulse Australia and Austrade under the aegis of ‘THE IPGA KNOWLEDGE SERIES’. IPGA organised the webinar as a part of the Australian Government’s Australia India Business Exchange (AIBX) programme.
The Indian overview on Lentils was presented by Anurag Tulshan, Managing Director – Esarco Exim and IPGA – East Zone Convenor and Australian overview by Nick Poutney, Director – Pulse Australia. The overview on Indian chickpeas was presented by Nirav Desai, Managing Partner – GGN Research and Australian overview by Peter Wilson, Managing Director – Wilson International Trade. The webinar was attended by about 600 participants from across the world with a majority being from India and Australia.
Saurabh Bhartia, Senior Trader, Viterra India, IPGA and GPC Executive Committee Member said, “The share of Australian lentils in India’s import has been 10-15 per cent over the last seven-eight years and almost 80-90 per cent of its chickpeas’ requirements came from Australia till December 2017. However, the 66 per cent import duty imposed by the Government of India has made it difficult to import from Australia resulting in these imports dropping to almost zero. In 2021, all pulses in India are trading above minimum support price and government stocks have hit a low. Both show we definitely have issues in our production of pulses in the last Kharif and Rabi seasons.”
Tulshan said, “The current supply and demand situation is tight. The government needs to come forward and make some changes with regard to the duty structure, so as to get in more cargo because going forward, from the month of July until December 2021, we are going to need to import at least 500,000 tonnes of lentils.”
Poutney opined that while the Indian government may be overestimating their lentils production, the Australian government may be underestimating the Australian lentils production. The Australian government is underestimating Australian lentils production.
Desai mentioned, “The overall chickpeas production in India has been below average majorly due to poor yields in MP and Rajasthan and Gujarat is the only state that has had higher production. But Gujarat has relatively fewer acres under chickpeas production, just 800,000 compared to bigger states like Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.”
Wilson while giving an overview of Australia’s Chickpeas scenario said, “In Australia, we grow desi chickpeas on deep subsoil moisture. The very good moisture levels that we have had in Northern Australia for the last few months have given us ideal seedling conditions for crops in the northern North-eastern cropping zone. So, we don't share the same issues that are currently facing lentil producers in Southern Australia.”


For my birthday today I got a composter. Karen got me a Compost Wizard. Since the weather was nice today I took the opportunity to get it set up and see start off the first batch. I’ll try and keep an eye on the progress and see if anything is blog-worthy with the first experiment. I’m expecting the cooler weather not being very good for starting a first batch but we’ll see.

Now that the snow has finally stopped and those April showers have started, we find ourselves wondering if there is anything we can do to get our yards to start looking presentable again. But this is actually the PERFECT time to get the yard done! We have come up with a checklist that we use on our own landscapes that really does get us ready for Spring.
LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST...
It is time to implement STEP 1 of the 4-STEP lawn program! March and April is when you would first seed your lawn. After seeding (or if you do not need to seed this year), you will apply the appropriate fertilizer.
Jonathan Green has an easy to follow system with great products! Below is the two charts you'll need, one for if you are seeding and one for maintaining an established yard.

Robert and I are trying to do local things, to get involved in our new community, and learn more about the town we’ve chosen to call home.
We decided to venture out to the local County Fair last week.
For those of you who don’t know Robert and I personally, we LOVE fairs, be they State, County, or World. We frequently visit theme parks, fairs, faires, carnivals, and even fests.
We weren’t disappointed with this County Fair – it had all of our favorites. Kettle Corn, Corn Dogs, and Corniness. We visited the poor animals in cages (rabbits, even!) and saw the cows, sheep, and pigs, viewed the 4-H exhibit, made friends with the local Democrats, and learned how we could get involved with Obama.
The most interesting thing we saw at the Ag-Ventureland – an agricultural area devoted to local farming, with farm equipment, farm animals, and real-live farmers. It was an advenutre to visit Ag-Venture.
Click on the picture to get a better look-see. It was sponsored by BP! BP – the “one of the largest integrated oil companies in the world”.

New Delhi. 22 Feb 2018
Israel is providing help to set up an agriculture centre in the Northeast. A delegation led by the Israeli ambassador to India, Daniel Carmon, met the Union minister of state (independent charge) of the ministry of DoNER, Jitendra Singh, in New Delhi on Wednesday.
According to a DoNER ministry statement issued on Wednesday, the Israeli ambassador said a centre for agriculture, with Israeli expertise, will be inaugurated in Mizoram on March 7. This will be the first centre in the Northeast that is being established with Israeli collaboration, he added.
Various issues, including start-ups, food processing, innovation and technology were discussed during the meeting.
The project has been set up with the tripartite collaboration of the Union ministry of agriculture and farmers welfare, government of Israel and the Mizoram state government.
Israel will provide expertise and professional support. The centre will cater to the whole region.
The DoNER minister said this centre was the beginning of the larger collaboration between the two countries in this area.
He said the DoNER ministry will coordinate wherever required, he said, adding that it would benefit the farmers of the region in the long run and will also encourage farmers from other regions. It will serve as a model of learning for other countries in the Indian sub-continent, he added.
He said Sikkim has been declared the first organic state in the country and Israel can look forward to this kind of collaboration there as well. It will benefit the people of the Northeast in the areas of innovation, especially for start-ups.
There are 22 operational centres in India, including in the states of Haryana, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Punjab. The first centre was established in 2008 in Haryana. He said in the long run, Israel wants to establish one centre in each state.


Hey guys & gals. I thought I would start a journal so I can log my grow and see what you guys think. Let's start off with my room: Roughly 4x4x8 closet (ceiling tapers down to 4' at its lowest point) lined with emergency blankets 4" intake hole on the door with ducting running to a 7000 BTU AC 6" exhaust hole with a 180cfm inline booster fan (I'm going to purchase a real exhaust fan with a carbon scrubber very soon) Lighting & Materials: 400W HPS from HTG 96W 2' 4 bulb Hydrofarm HO T5 12" oscillating fan 6" fan Thermometer pH meter 2 plug digi timer 1 plug pin timer Soil & Nutes: Fox Farm Ocean Forest Mix of Coco, Peat Moss, and Perlite FF Big Bloom, Grow Big, Tiger Bloom I think I have everything covered. So I planted 4 germed fem Auto Berry seeds in FFOF cut with a little perlite on 4/20. They all sprouted on 4/24 and looked good at first. The soil ended up burning the crap out of 3 of them. The lone survivor has really come back, but it is very small for ~18 days. I flushed twice and the yellowing stopped spreading. It has growing nicely the past 2 days. On 5/3 & 5/4 I planted 2 germed fem Blackjack seeds from Nirvana in the mix posted above. They have been doing great right out the gate. I stupidly forgot to plug my T5 into the timer. It was running 24/0 while the HPS was 18/6. I noticed some leaf curling because of this so I have since settled on only the HPS 18/6. Curling is gone now. My temps range from 69-79. I am thinking about giving the Blackjacks their 1st dose of Big Bloom today. Maybe 1/4 strength to test the waters. They will be transplanted to 3 gallon pots soon. 1st pic- Blackjack Day 8 2nd pic- Blakjack Day 7 3rd pic- Auto Berry Day ~18 Thanks everyone!


Turns out, the Boxcar Press staff loves food nearly as much as they love letterpress.
In 2008, we partnered with Grindstone Farm, a 240 acre organic farm located in Pulaski, NY. Boxcar Press now subsidizes the CSA Shares for all of their employees, and provides a pick up location for the community. Turns out, it was an easy way to make a positive impact for a cause we care about! According to Grindstone owner and farmer Dick de Graff, participating in a CSA is one of the best ways to support local farmers; by purchasing a “share” of the farmer’s crops at the beginning of the season, the buyer shares in the risk and reward of whatever the season brings.
Pictured here are some of the “rewards” of this year’s harvest season, which is about to come to an end.
Interested in finding a CSA in your area? Check out localharvest.com for information on CSAs, U Pick Farms, Farmers Markets, and Co-ops near you!
We want to hear from you! We love how much letterpress community members pitch in to help others. What causes does your letterpress shop support?

Here at Boxcar Press, we’re always looking for new ways to support the environment and get involved with our local Syracuse community too. Last year, we started subsidizing CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) memberships for all employees — as well as hosting one of the weekly vegetable pick-ups for other locals. We’re thrilled that year 2 of our CSA adventure has begun! As a result, a good number of Boxcar employees can be found carting home large bags and baskets full of fresh, organic produce every Tuesday. Delivered once a week by local organic Grindstone Farm, fresh veggies and herbs are delivered here at the Delevan Center, the old warehouse we call home. We have found that half the fun is figuring out what to do with the unusual ingredients that tend to come home with us on CSA delivery days!
Typically, we get an assortment of great lettuces, kale, fresh herbs like cilantro and dill, broccoli so fantastic we never want to eat anything other than organic broccoli again, garlic scapes, cool daikon radishes that resemble white carrots, and lots and lots of bright red radishes. As the season is progressing, so are the crops, and the produce that arrives every week is changing, but we’ve continued to get a lot of radishes, which led a few of us to start looking into recipes that use radishes and ideally the radish greens too. After some hunting around, one of our letterpress printers, Carrie, who is one of the finest artisans we know to ever run an Original Heidelberg windmill, found and tweaked the following recipe that was fantastic. At a loss as to what to do with all of your radishes? Give this recipe a whirl!
Asian Hamburger Skillet
- 1lb lean hamburger (although many of us are vegetarians so we substituted the Morning Star ground “meat” instead)
- 1 medium red onion, sliced about 1/4? thick then cut into 2? lengths
- 1 bunch of radishes, cut in matchsticks
- 1 bunch of radish tops, cut roughly into 1? pieces
- 4 carrots, julienned or cut into 1/4? slices
- 1-1/2 tsp ginger paste
- 2 tbsp fish sauce (although we’ve also tried General Tso’s sauce and it was delicious!)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 lime (optional)
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
In a large sautÃ© pan, cook hamburger (or meat substitute) over medium high heat, until just beginning to brown, breaking into small bits with spatula. Stir in onion and radishes and cook another 2-3 minutes. Stir in carrots, radish tops, ginger paste and fish sauce and cook 5-10 minutes until onions are softened and hamburger is cooked through. Sprinkle with lime juice (if using) and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.
Boxcar Press subsidized a CSA organic farm subscription for Boxcar employees this year. It was an amazing experience (and really yummy too!), and we loved feeling connected to our community in this very real way. The growing season in CNY finally ended, and so our 20 weeks of organic vegetable delivery came to an end. Carrie, our officer manager who found a way to make our CSA dream work, has these thoughts.
“Besides yummy veggies and fruits, what did Boxcar Press take away from our first annual CSA participation? This is the question I asked myself more than once over the past 20 week growing season. Sure, the veggies are good, but was it worth the hard work organizing, maintaining, safeguarding and cooking 20 shares of veggies (well, we each cooked our own shares, but it was still lots more cooking than I’m used to!)? The short answer is a resounding yes!”
“Being involved with the CSA was a direct opportunity for Boxcar Press to become involved in our local environment. It allowed us to use our spending power to support local farms that practice farming techniques which take a stewardship of our land and create hope for a safe planet for our children and their children, too. For some of us, it introduced us to vegetables we had never experienced before and for others it reminded us of the wonders of nature and the bounty our very own upstate New York land can provide. Best of all, it allowed Boxcar Press to enrich the community by providing Syracuse with its first every downtown POD (Point of Delivery), which made veggie pickups convenient enough to attract 13 new CSA members this year! When it is all said and done, bringing goodness to many is what we’re all about. Now go eat your veggies! (P.S. If anyone out there wants to know how to organize something like this, I’d be happy to share)”
Our office manager extraordinaire Carrie Reagan was featured in the lead story on Channel 5 news yesterday on the greatness of local food . It’s a gripping story filled with carrots, cabbage basil, Boxcar Press t-shirts, our friends at the local organic Grindstone Farm….and Carrie speaks eloquently to the beauty of buying local & organic, and knowing what ground your food comes from.


Seeds of Helianthemum kahiricum
have an excellent germination rate extending to about 90% within short time not more than four days after scarification (mechanical treatment) and a good protocol of disinfection. A high frequency of sprouting and shoot differentiation was observed in the primary cultures of nodal explants of H. kahiricum
on Murashige and Skoog medium (MS) free growth regulators or with less concentration of kinetin (0.5 mg L-1
or 1.0 mg L-1
kin). In vitro
proliferated shoot were multiplied rapidly by culture of shoot tips on MS with kinetin (0.5 mg L-1
) which produced the greatest multiple shoot formation. The kinetin had a positive effect on the multiplication and growth, but a concentration that exceeded 2.0 mg.L-1
decreased the growth. A high frequency of rooting with development of healthy roots was observed from shoots cultured on MS/8 medium hormone-free.
Key words: Helianthemum kahiricum, in vitro germination, multiplication, axillary buds.
Abbreviation: Zea, Zeatin (cytokinine); IAA, indole-3-acetic acid (auxin); IBA, indole-3-butyric acid (auxin); Kin, kinetin (cytokinine); MS, Murashige and Skoog medium; NAA, 2-naphthalene acetic acid (auxin); 2iP, 2 isopentenyladenine (cytokinine).

Why Food Prices Are Expected to Skyrocket
Photo Credit: Todd Trapani. Photo Sourced From: Pexels
Food shortages and skyrocketing food prices now appear inevitable. The global food price index hit its highest recorded level in March 2022, rising 12.6% in a single month. On average, food prices were one-third higher than in March 2021. In the U.S., food prices rose 9% in 2021, and are predicted to rise another 4.5% to 5% in the next 12 months
Inflation was already ramping up well before Russia went into Ukraine, thanks to the uncontrolled printing of fiat currencies that occurred in response to the COVID pandemic. Governments’ COVID responses have also wreaked havoc with global supply chains, causing disruptions that continue to this day
Ukraine has ceased exports of wheat, oats, millet, buckwheat and cattle, and Russia has banned exports of fertilizer
Together, Russia and Belarus provide nearly 40% of the global exports of potash, a key fertilizer ingredient. Russia also exports 48% of the global ammonium nitrate, and combined with Ukraine, they export 28% of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium fertilizers. Experts are now predicting fertilizer prices may double as a result of Russia’s ban on fertilizer exports
The long-term answer lies in regenerative biodynamic farming, which does not use any chemical inputs

For the first time since Russia withdrew from the “grain initiative” in July 2023, two Turkish bulk carriers entered the port of Chornomorsk for grain loading.
According to the Ministry of Community Development, Territories, and Infrastructure of Ukraine, the bulk carriers Resilient Africa and Aroyat, flying the flag of Palau, utilized the temporary corridor to enter the Chornomorsk port for loading nearly 20 thousand tons of wheat destined for countries in Africa and Asia. The crews of these vessels consist of citizens from Turkey, Azerbaijan, Egypt, and Ukraine. Previously, the corridor was used for evacuating ships that were in Ukrainian ports of Chornomorsk, Odesa, and Yuzhny during the full-scale Russian Federation invasion. During the period since August 15, five vessels have used the temporary corridor: the container ship Joseph Schulte and the bulk carriers Primus, Anna-Theresa, Ocean Courtesy, and Puma.
Ukraine remains committed to its obligations to importers and continues to implement a strategy and tactics to demonstrate the creation of a “grain corridor” without Russia. Ukraine continues active grain exports, either through river ports on the Danube or overland to European consumers or ports in EU countries for further transportation. Since the start of the grain season in July and August, Ukraine has exported approximately 5 million tons, which corresponds to the previous year’s level. It is likely that Ukraine will realize its entire or nearly entire export potential even if the Black Sea grain terminals do not operate at full capacity. Furthermore, Ukrainian authorities still hope for the unblocking of these terminals without Moscow’s approval.
Ukraine’s main task after exiting the ports of Odesa will be to ensure the safety of ships and crews. British reconnaissance aircraft are monitoring the situation in the Black Sea, and a maritime surface drone kamikaze patrols near Snake Island. Moreover, Ukraine’s state budget for the current year allocates 20 billion hryvnias for insuring ships ready to export agricultural products from Black Sea ports. Overall, step by step, Ukraine is doing everything within its resources and capabilities to ensure the export of Ukrainian agricultural products through the Black Sea. The entry of two Turkish bulk carriers into the port of Chornomorsk indicates that freight carriers are ready to use the new maritime corridor for transporting agricultural products, not just for evacuating ships from Ukraine.
What should be the response of the civilized world to Russia’s ongoing grain blackmail? Firstly, there should be no alternative grain deal with Russia. NATO should show determination and announce the convoying of grain trucks. Security guarantees should be tested with grain exports. If the USA and NATO can protect Ukrainian grain, they can also protect Ukraine.

New Delhi, June 12 (UNI) The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) today announced an ad-hoc Minimum Support Price(MSP) for Kharif 2008-09 for common variety of paddy at Rs 850 per quintal and for Grade "A" variety of paddy at Rs 875 per quintal, while referring the recommendations of the CACP in this regard to the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council(EAC).
The CACP had recommended the MSP for common variety of paddy at Rs 1,000 per quintal and for Grade 'A' variety of paddy at Rs 1,050 per quintal.
Finance Minister P Chidambaram told newspersons here that the matter of increase in the case of common variety of paddy had been referred to the EAC in view of the wide divergence in the prices suggested by the state governments and the very steep increase suggested by the CACP.
He said that while some state governments had suggested a lower price for common variety of paddy than that suggested by the CACP, others wanted more.
While States like Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Orissa had wanted an MSP of Rs 850 per quintal, Himachal Pradesh had suought an MSP of Rs 645 per qunital.
On the other hand, Andhra Pradesh had suggested an MSP of Rs 1,300 per quintal. Some other States too wanted an amount higher than that recommended by the CACP.
Mr Chidambaram said the hike in the case of MSP of common variety of paddy was high and of the order of Rs 105 per quintal, up from Rs 745 per quintal in the previous kharif to Rs 850 per quintal now.
Others States like West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Kerala had not given a view on the matter.
The Finance Minister noted that Cabinet had often modified the recommendations of the CACP and the hike for this year had been substantial, citing statistics to support his point.
In the year 1999-2000, the increase in the MSP of Paddy was Rs 60 and for the four-year period from 2003-04 to 2007-08, the increase was of Rs 195 per quintal. Thus the ad-hoc increase for this Kharif was respectable, he said.

VILNIUS – Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda, who is currently attending the session of the UN General Assembly in the United States, will discuss the food crisis triggered by Russia’s war in Ukraine with Macky Sall, President of Senegal and Chairperson of the African Union (AU).
Asta Skaisgiryte, president's adviser on foreign policy issues, told the Ziniu Radijas (News Radio) on Tuesday that a separate meeting with the chairperson of the organization, uniting 55 African countries, was important given that the voice of the union was “heard in international organizations”.
“[The president will talk] about cooperation within the framework of international organizations, including the Telecommunication Union. There is also an issue of high concern to Africans, which has become particularly acute in the context of the war in Ukraine, I mean, global food security, supply of grain from Ukraine,” she said.
The adviser noted that Russia had blocked many Ukrainian ships carrying grain from departing the Black Sea since the beginning of its invasion.
“The arrangements brokered by the United Nations and Turkey sort of allow doing that [shipping grain]. However, the Baltic countries and Poland stated prior to the signing of the agreement that grain could be transported via our territory, by land, to the Baltic Sea ports, which is exactly what was being done,” Skaisgiryte said.
Exports of Ukrainian grain and other foodstuffs as well as fertilizers were resumed from three Black Sea ports early in August under an agreement signed between Kyiv and Moscow in July and brokered by the United Nations and Turkey.

Farmers in some parts of Minnesota are having problems getting propane to dry their crops after a wet harvest season — and that’s galvanized Republican opposition to the “Green New Deal” that Democrats are pushing at the Minnesota Legislature. State Senator Torrey Westrom from Elbow Lake warns it would restrict building more infrastructure for propane and other fossil fuels — worsening farmers’ problems. “Elevators need to dry their crops that are coming in from the fields. It has to be done now — not in a month, not in six months,” Westrom says.
Backers of the “Green New Deal” say the state must move away from fossil fuels as the effects of climate change become more obvious.

Here is a trowel-type tool that digs like a small spade. Made with a sharp point and with sharpened edges on the work end, you can easily, as with a knife, push the Digger Trowel into the toughest soil; down through sod and under stubborn weeds. Then pry up the weeds, the sod, and the tough soil. This tool is fashioned out of a single piece of heavy gauge stainless steel and it will endure to be used by your great grandchildren. You can use them to pound in tent stakes and then to trench around the tent; to chip ice; to dig in clay, loam, and stony soil; to dig up plants for transplanting; to plant bulbs; and to easily do the jobs that you expect from an ordinary trowel.
The handles are bent to be at a slight angle to the blade end. Numbers 50 & 51 are for light work in planters, pots and tight close areas.


We are so grateful for the guidance and support from Shahar and the Homestead Maintenance team in Waco. We purchased the BCS 770 model-recoil with the quick hitch, rotary plow, power harrow, and flail mower in September 2020. Working with new equipment is intimidating for a lot of our staff and students. Thankfully, Shahar was very kind and patient as he walked our staff and students through an on-site training and demonstration.
Prior to receiving the BCS our students made their beds by hand with shovels and rakes. Having the BCS has saved a lot of time in the field and reduced stress on our bodies. We’ve used the BCS with rotary plow everyday this past week and it has made beautiful 100 ft beds! Thank you, Shahar, for taking the time to share your knowledge with us. We feel at ease knowing there’s always support from Shahar and the Homestead team should we have questions. We look forward to using the BCS throughout the season and for many years to come!

Problem With Pear Tree
The other day I had loads of aphids on my pear tree, I sprayed it with washing up liquid solution as I normally do. The good news when I have checked today is that all the aphids have gone, the bad news is I now have black leaves and lots of the flowers stalks ie fruit buds to be have fallen off.......I guess I won't be making as much pear chutney this year
Please see photos below, is to my fault, is it normal for so many buds to drop off (I can't remember from the previous 2 years!) or is it diseased?

Oh dear..it has been such lovely weather here over the last few days that I'm beginning to get a little worried that this is going to be our summer! I do hope not, it seems such a long time since we've had any decent, warm weather.....long may it last! Not that it matters too much as in 10days time I'm off to visit my youngest who is living out in "The Desert!!" (or as my middle daughter calls it.."The Dessert"!!) in Al Ain, to be precise, for a whole 10days...but...there's no keeping me happy...I believe the temperature is going to be in the high 40's...now for me, THAT'S HOT!! :-))
Anyway, enough of the rambling! As the sun has been shining here in my very own NE of England "desert", my thoughts have turned to summer veg planting & I've been working like a demon (when not in the mini sweatshop!) getting my veggie garden ready for planting! The canes for the runner beans & broad beans (which are at the minute cluttering up my windowsills!) are in & various seeds have been sown. Please pray that we don't get a very late & severe frost like last year & that then we are not drowning in constant rain!! Not good for veggie gardening!! LOL
Oh dear, I can ramble on can't I? The whole point of this was to show you a basket of greenhouse tomatoes....I'm hoping that this year my "real" ones do better than they did last year. Like the beans, squashes etc, right now they are on my very crowded windowsills...waiting for the danger of frosts to pass!

The sun peaked through from time to time and the rain held off on Saturday 27 May for the Annual Plant & Bake Sale. From before it “opened” at 9 am, there was already a stream of early shoppers. Baked goods were disappearing quickly as local residents and visitors scooped them up at bargain prices. Plants filled outdoor tables and spread out over the lawn. What a great and economical way to freshen up home gardens for spring and summer.
Blessings and thanks to all who contributed to our plants and baked goods. Thank you to our Plant Mangers and Baking Bosses for their hard work in organizing things. Plus, thanks to our fantastic parish volunteer team who worked hard to make the day a great success. Most of all though, our heartfelt thanks to those who dropped by to purchase plants and baked goods and to those who contributed plants and baking for today. Through fund-raising efforts such as the Plant and Bake Sale, the parish continues its ministry and its outreach to those in need in our local area and beyond.
Blessings and thanks to all!

|How often do you water a Fiscus (burgundy) indoor plant. Does it need to be fertilized?
|Answer from NGA
June 8, 2009
|Ficus elastica 'Burgundy' do best in full sun to very high interior lighting to keep its rich burgundy color. Plants will tolerate lower light levels but the color will become a lighter green. The plants are need to be watered thoroughly and then allow the top half inch of potting soil to dry out between waterings. Fertilize the plants monthly with a half strength dilution of water soluable balanced fertilizer. I use a half strength dilution of Miracle Gro or Peter's for my houseplants. Enjoy your ficus!

On Thursday June 21st, during the Summer menu presentation, un posto a Milano invites you to a priceless dinner. Or better: you will establish its price and its value too.
What should you expect?
For each dish you order, you can indicate a price and leave a comment. At the end of the evening, you will pay what you think it’s the right price and who will guess exactly the value of their dinner will win a voucher (equal to the value of the receipt of June 21st) to be spent for a dinner when the autumn menu will be out – around the middle of September.
WHAT WERE WE THINKING?
We strongly believe that the approach to food, to the ingredients selections, to the production history of what is on our tables can be improved through an educational and cultural process. This is the philosophy that we are following from April 2012 and that we have summarized in a simple slogan: the REAL MILE FOOD.
Supporting the work of over a hundred Italian producers – farmers, breeders, shepherds, cheesemakers, winemakers, brewers, butchers, fishermen, millers, bakers, olive growers, dryers, roasters… – we work everyday to spread a more aware, sustainable, attentive and informed culinary culture.
This is the reason why
this dinner is priceless.
Here are just some of the producers who will work with us at the 2018 Summer menu: Centro della Mozzarella, Milano; Cascina Fraschina organic farm, Abbiategrasso (Milano); Pianogrillo organic farm, Charamonte Gufi (Ragusa); S. Ilario salami factory, Lesignano de’ Bagni (Parma); Bargero organic farm, Carbonate (Como); Mulino Marino, Cossano Belbo (Cuneo); La Raia biodynamic farm, Novi Ligure (Alessandria).

Meeting date: 15 June 2016
(Leaders: Judy Clark/Ellen Campbell)
Cherry the farmer welcomed eight of us in her lovely old farmhouse kitchen. We were transported to the meadows in a Land Rover, known as the ‘Mushy Pea’ because of its pea soup colour. We bounced and lurched around field edges and through rutted gateways, sometimes on two wheels, sometimes seeming to leave the ground completely. Stephen followed valiantly behind, and this rather ridiculous entourage eventually arrived at the meadows, shaken but not deterred! We split into two groups to record plants in a large field where 15 species of grass were recorded and frequencies of all taxa were estimated on the DAFOR scale as required by Natural England. The field showed considerable variation in the distribution of species in different areas. We visited two more fields which were wetter but less diverse, Filipendula ulmaria (Meadowsweet) being abundant. A closer search in one of the fields revealed a small amount of Myosotis scorpioides (Water Forget-me-not).

Hi, new poster here. I apologize in advance if this post is to long. Hope someone might have some ideas. Live in Eagle River Alaska just outside of Anchorage.
Established lawn been in at least 10 years. I purchased house middle of last summer so this is my first entire season with it.
Lawn has been doing beautifully. Nice deep green, consistent color pretty and thick. Suddenly in last week yellow/brown spots have begun to appear randomly in the yard. The blades of the grass where the spots are appear completely dead and brown for the top half of the length and green below that. Not sure if the dead portion is traveling deeper down the blades.
I have not tested soil yet.
I did apply lime to the lawn last fall and once in May.
We had a record hot June with no rain but I did water the lawn every other day for a few hours. Actually had some mushrooms pop up during the "drought."
Couple things that have occurred last few weeks. I fertilized the lawn with Scott's Green Max with Iron. My possibly misguided intention was to try to deepen the green color of the lawn.
I usually keep the lawn cut at about the 3" setting on my Honda Lawn Mower. We have now gone other direction and have had a very wet July. I had not been able to cut the grass every 3-4 days like I normally do and the grass got very long. (I normally do not catch the clippings)
The sun came out for a couple hours and I decided to jump on this opportunity to mow. For some reason I thought it might be a good idea to cut it a little shorter so I set my mower to 2.5" ( I have no excuse I know really bad idea) and bagged those clippings.
This is when I first noticed the yellow spots in the lawn. They appear to be getting worse. I love working in my yard but I am afraid I have hurt this beautiful lawn.
