Farmers’ outlook improved last month despite lingering concerns about high input prices and prospects for weaker prices in 2023, according to the monthly Purdue-CME Group Ag Economy Barometer.
The index rose 14 points to 131 in August but remained well below its level a year earlier. The index is based on a survey that was conducted Aug. 15-19, after USDA released its closely watched Crop Production report and World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates.
Separate measures of farmer attitudes toward current conditions and their future expectations both increased in August.
"Producers this month were less worried about their farm’s financial situation than in July, although they remain concerned about a possible cost/price squeeze,” according to a summary of the survey.

Some 53% of the farmers who were surveyed said higher input costs were their biggest concern heading into 2023. More than half the producers said they expect crop input prices to increase by as much as 20% in 2023. About four in 10 producers expect inputs to stay the same or decline by as much as 10%.
USDA forecasts that net cash farm income will reach its highest level in a decade this year, although producers in some sectors are going to do much better than in others, due in part to increases in input costs. Net cash farm income is forecast at $168.5 billion in 2022, an increase of 15.1% over 2021.

Rising commodities prices driving up CPI
Corn and wheat prices are driving up the consumer price index and may require international business negotiations to get back on track.
International business negotiations may be required to get the global market for agricultural commodities back on track, as shortages and speculation prompt wheat and corn prices to soar.
According to the latest survey by the Financial Times and Harris, most in France, Germany and Spain feel that speculation is primarily to blame for rising food prices, something that suggests there would be support for tighter regulation on commodities trading.
Currently, commodities prices are having a significant impact on the consumer price index, with corn, barley and wheat both rising significantly in the past several months.
Most recently, warnings by the US government of "dramatically" lower supplies of these commodities than many investors had expected prompted corn to rise by 13.5 per cent and what to jump by ten per cent.
Interestingly, the FT/Harris poll indicated that UK residents are most likely to attribute the impact these soaring commodities are having on consumer prices to adverse weather conditions, which prompted poor harvests in Russia, Ukraine and Canada.
Both Russia and Ukraine have already put in place strict quotas on how much grain they export. Trade negotiations may be required to boost supply from these countries into western Europe and, subsequently, lower food prices.

Early this month (April 2018), the project team from Technologically Enhanced Agricultural Livelihoods (TEAL) project paid a visit to Dak Lak to learn about the ways to grow and process coffee with Economic empowerment approach in this major coffee centre of the country.
During the trip, the team also visited Minh Toan Loi Cooperative. With over 227 members, the Cooperative has been operating for about seven years, harvesting about 1,300 hectares of coffee cherries every year. “In this modern era, we can’t survive if only producing as single households and lacking information. Farmers need to connect with each other and focus on certified production so we can reach new markets,” said Mr Vu Duc Quan, Chairman of the Cooperative’s Management Board.

Agricultural equipment is actually extremely vital in the modern globe of farming. Watering pesticides, devices, and plant foods are simply some of things that these machines assist with. This type of devices is actually frequently incredibly costly, however it costs every dime. Within this quick post, our team’ll take a quick look at some standard tools you may experience if you ever choose to enter into the farming world. Our experts’ll look at what every one carries out, their uses, and just how you can easily say to which one to obtain relying on your particular requirements. click over here
The most simple part of agrarian tools is actually clearly a tractor. This piece of machines is actually utilized to relocate farm areas and also harvesting make coming from all of them. click here to investigate
Both of these parts of devices possess a wide array of various features, depending on the request. A shovel can easily be utilized to scoop manure, while a harrow can be actually made use of to gather vegetations and roots.
Other pieces of ranch machines include tiller, planting pushes, others, and also farmers. Tiller is actually utilized through agricultural employees that are actually in the very early stages of planting.
On-the-job training is actually yet another point that farmers need to have when they purchase new equipment. A number of planters that own tractors, combines, farmers, or even other devices to discover that it is actually exceptionally difficult to find out exactly how to use all of them without some aid. Because of this, lots of planters go through an apprenticeship plan where an experienced planter instructs them how to utilize their particular pieces of equipment. A lot of planters head to learn and trade universities how to function machinery just before taking it on their own ranches. Some also take courses at colleges as well as community colleges to ensure they may organize job interviews on the job.
One part of ranch machines that is actually really crucial for planters is the trimmer. This part of tools allows planters to prune the topsoil in the fields. On the other hand, a power powered bundle liner leaner is quieter and also simpler to make use of than a gas powered one.
An additional necessary part of ranch machines that is needed by farmers all around the country is actually the rotary vane harvester. This tool features just like the regular harvester on a dairy farm. The primary distinction in between a dairy farm and also a field is actually that in a milk area, dairy is pumped through a technical factory and then pumped straight into the entire bale. Whereas, on a ranch, the entire parcel is actually manually raised coming from the dirt making use of a curler. If you’re a farmer that would like to make certain that your fruit and vegetables is actually coming out tasty and also clean each and every opportunity, after that you’re heading to need to have a rotating vane farmer to finish the job.
One last piece of farm tools that you would certainly intend to look at is actually the till trimmer and loading machine. These pair of tools do work in conjunction along with one another. Generally, the rake leaner can be utilized to turn over areas and also lay down sod, while the loading machine assists you move the filth and also components to where it is actually needed on the various other end of the rake. Both of these tools have several work that they can easily do, yet they are actually mostly made use of to help planters with their regular farming demands. Regardless of what sort of farmer you are actually, there is actually possibly a piece of farm tools that you could possibly take advantage of.

I’d like to take a few moments to tell you about the history of our organization. We’re proud of our beginnings, and we’re especially proud of our growth and expansion that has been made possible by our great Fairway team of employees! We take pride that our relationships with our customers and with our employees are rooted in trust and integrity. Although our size has changed, our core values remain the same today as they were when we humbly began back in 1979 . . .
Way back in 1979 (was it really that long ago?) in Little Rock, Arkansas, Fairway Lawns was born. It began as a ChemLawn franchise with me (Bob Rice), my wife, Jan, and an additional partner running the business. In October 1980, Jan and I became the sole owners of the franchise and five years later, in 1985, we opened our first branch in Fort Smith, Arkansas. After this, in 1990, we expanded into Springdale, Arkansas. In 1993, ChemLawn was purchased by ServiceMaster, and we made the decision not to renew the franchise agreement.
We changed our name to Fairway Lawns. At the time, we kept the same customers, the same employees, the same equipment, and the same buildings. The only thing that changed was our name . . . well, that’s not quite true . . . our desire to succeed changed, too—it was bigger than ever before! With renewed enthusiasm, a strong sense of pride in spreading the Fairway Lawns name, and a commitment to superior service and customer relations, we mapped out a plan for the healthy growth and development of Fairway Lawns.
True to our plans, in 1994, we opened a branch in the Russellville area (now Conway, Arkansas) and in 1995 we proudly added termite and pest control services, (Command Pest Control) in Little Rock. In 1997, we opened a branch in Memphis, Tennessee (also serving some areas in Mississippi.) In 2003 we opened in Birmingham, Alabama. In 2005 we added termite and pest control in Springdale, Arkansas. In January 2007, we opened our Tulsa, Oklahoma, branch, and in July 2009 we opened our branch in Huntsville, Alabama! In November 2013 Fairway Lawns opened its Augusta, Georgia office!
Over the years, our growth has been steady and strong, thanks to the hard work and dedication of our employees. It’s been a fun journey down the Fairway and we’re looking forward to continuing our success. So . . . start thinking green and join our family. We’ll take good care of your lawn!

We have 6 native grasses, 1 bush, 3 perennials and about 200 bulbs to put in the ground.
Have fun and beautify your park!


Corn and soybeans took the day off on Friday finishing 5 and 7 lower respectively.
Both worked their way into positive territory midday before giving way to selling
pressure into the close. Negative momentum carried into Sunday night with gap
open lower in most corn and soybean contracts. Weather is very supportive
production and negative price this week. We still have issues up north as they will
not get the accumulation that the heart of the Midwest will get the next 7 days.
Demand is still hot and we will see if China is looking to buy anymore new corn this
week. We will see if value buyers step in this morning after the last night selling. See full report for more information on outlooks, technicals, and weather updates.

VILSACK CONFIRMS ACRE OPT OUT, BUT NO SPECIFICS ON FARM PROGRAM SIGNUP... Farmers enrolled in the Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) program during the 2009-2012 crop years will be able to opt out of the program for 2013, USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack said Monday. "We will see how many that were in ACRE will opt out," he said at the American Farm Bureau Federation meeting. "It is not as attractive." Signup for the 2013 crop year farm programs will take place "well before" fall, but Vilsack did not offer any specific dates. Further, Vilsack continued to express concern Congress could still reduce direct payments as they search for budget savings.
JAPAN RELAXES AUSSIE WHEAT IMPORT REQUIREMENTS... Drought could halve output of Australian Noodle Wheat (ANW) production in Western Australia this year.

Previously, Japan required shipments to contain 60% ANW and 40% APW.
UKRAINE GRAIN OUTPUT FALLS 18.6%... Ukraine's grain production totaled 46.17 MMT in 2012, down from 56.75 MMT in 2011, according to the State Statistics Service. Wheat production dropped 19.4% to 15.76 MMT, while corn production declined 8.4% to 20.92 MMT. Ukraine's ag ministry hopes for improved production this year as last year's crop faced multiple weather hurdles.
REPORT: COOL HAS COST CANADIAN PORK PRODUCERS NEARLY $2 BILLION... U.S. mandatory country-of-origin labeling (COOL) has cost Canadian pork producers over $1.9 billion as of October 2012 and the figure likely topped $2 billion by the end of last year, according to a report prepared for the Canadian Pork Council (CPC). The report estimates that $357 million in pork trade has been lost since the implementation of COOL and the feeder pig sector has suffered an additional $85 million. Damages from slaughter hog price suppression and indirect effects from a reduced sow herd have not been calculated. "In the event the U.S. does not come into compliance or find resolution to the COOL dispute, the report's findings that the current annual rate of damage accumulation is almost $500 million, can be used to estimate retaliatory tariffs on U.S. exports to Canada," said CPC Chairman Jean-Guy Vincent.
UNINSPIRING PERFORMANCE IN BOXED BEEF MARKET... Boxed beef prices were 15 cents lower (Choice) to $1.27 higher (Select) Monday, while packers moved a decent 170 loads of product on the day. Unless boxed beef prices, especially Choice cuts, and movement strengthen, packers will be reluctant to pay higher prices for cash cattle this week as cutting margins are deep in the red.
POOR START IN PORK PRODUCT MARKET... The pork cutout value was 48 cents lower and packers moved only 31.5 loads of product Monday. While some plants offered steady to firmer bids for cash hogs yesterday, the poor performance in the pork product market is expected to result in steady to lower cash hog bids at most locations today, especially with cutting margins in the red.
OVERNIGHT DEMAND NEWS... Taiwan tendered for 60,000 MT of U.S., Brazilian or Argentine corn. Japan is seeking 118,746 MT of U.S. and Canadian wheat in its weekly tender. Morocco tendered for 160,000 MT of U.S. durum wheat.

I have giant slugs. What can I do to get rid of them?
Encouraging a healthy ecosystem with natural predators such as frogs, toads and ground beetles helps keep slug numbers down. Also try sinking beer-filled jam jars into your beds for an effective slug trap; empty and replace the beer regularly. Copper slug rings placed around young vegetable plants or copper tape wrapped around the outside of pots works too. Another option is to go into your garden on a mild, damp night and hunt for slugs by torchlight, dropping them into a container of salt water. For biological control, try Nemaslug, from Harrod Horticultural from £8.95. If you must use slug pellets, buy organic ones based on ferric phosphate, such as Growing Success Advanced Slug Killer (pictured), £2.95, also from Harrod Horticultural.

Hello Hivers 💕💞,
Farmers do more of multiple cropping sometimes in order to achieve so many aims at a particular point in time and also to bring a belt good soil formation at the end of the planting season which we end up with good yield. Sometimes planting of crops might be odd during the planting season but farmers do theirbest to make sure they achieve something positive during the harvesting. In my own case I happen to have is space we are I planted this few seeds of watermelon which grow to a very reasonable extent up to this present time and I find out that the more I irrigate the watermelon plant the more it start to grow more and more in which case it gives me more privileged to have more produce at the end of them planting season.
This watermelon has survived the dry season which gives me Joy everyday when I go there for visit and also for light wedding. I always emphasize on this light weeding because it is very necessary to keep your plants clean and also the growth should be everyday.
In my own case I did or what I could do and make sure that this particular watermelon survive although there are some leaf hopper that feeds on the leaves of the watermelon when I was doing my observation section. These are the pictures I took with the current stage of the watermelon fruit as produce.
I really love the output products of what I am seeing because it gives me more joy when I see what I printed going out more exclusively and also anymore produce through customs and regular hard-working.

Springtime is just around the corner. With its milder weather, this season can work wonders for your garden — especially roses. Though one of the most popular flowers, roses can sometimes be considered temperamental or difficult to maintain. But with a little love and preparation, these beautiful springtime flowers can thrive.
As Matshona Dhliwayo wrote, “Roses do not bloom hurriedly; for beauty, like any masterpiece, takes time to blossom.” Bring beauty to your garden with these simple tips for taking care of your roses this spring.
Remove Any Dead Wood or Weak Growth
Green is a sign of vitality in your plants, so it’s easy to spot dead wood on your roses. Look for any dull or brown spots on your rose bush and cut them off. It’s also recommended to trim any thin, weak growth. These steps help remove any “dead weight” from the plant and will also help you see the shape of the plant more clearly, making it easier to begin pruning.
Prune Rose Bushes
Pruning is an essential step in keeping your rose bushes healthy and thriving throughout the spring. Use high-quality pruning shears to cut back the canes approximately 1/4” above a bud eye at a 45 degree angle. You’ll want to look for bud eye on the outside of the cane to help encourage new buds to grow outward rather than inward.
Feed Your Flowers
To ensure that your rose bushes get the nutrition that they need to stay healthy, use a high-quality, nitrogen-rich fertilizer. It’s recommended to feed blooming roses every two weeks. Coffee grounds, when used in moderation, can also help boost your rose bushes because of their high nitrogen content.
Ready to stop and smell the roses? Contact Prewett, Read & Associates</a href> and our team will make sure your garden is thriving this spring.

Indore- and Bangalore-based Agstack Technologies, which operates agritech platform Gramophone, has raised Rs 24 crore ($3.38 million at the current exchange rate) in a Series-A round of funding.
The money was raised from existing investor Info Edge, UK-based investment firm Better Capital and Delhi-based impact investment firm Asha Impact, the company said in a statement.
The round also saw the participation of Raveen Sastry, co-founder of Myntra.
Tauseef Khan, co-founder and CEO of the venture, said the funds will be utilised for product development, ramping up data science capabilities and geographical expansion.
“In an industry where market prices can be highly volatile, we believe real income increases for small farmers can be driven by optimising farming practices and lowering their cost of inputs,” Kartik Desai, executive director, Asha Impact, said.
In a regulatory disclosure to the stock exchange, Info Edge informed that it did not participate in the current funding round. It also added that its stake had come down to 33.21% from 37.21%.
It could not be immediately ascertained whether the startup has factored in the Rs 14 crore ($1.97 million) investment it received from Info Edge in April this year as part of the current announcement.
Infoedge had previously invested $1 million (Rs 6.4 crore then) in March last year.
Gramophone was launched in 2016 by IIM-Ahmedabad alumni Khan and IIT-Kharagpur alumni Nishant Mahatre. Both founders had stints in agri-tech companies and venture capital funds.
Through a mobile app, Gramophone helps farmers by disseminating timely information, technology and inputs to achieve better yields.
Farmers can access localised package of practice, crop advisory and weather information. Farmers can also get crop protection tools, crop nutrition products, seeds, implements and agricultural hardware at their doorstep.
Recent deals in agritech

An area just south of Green Bay will be home to the state's first-of-its-kind network of farms that will demonstrate conservation practices to reduce phosphorus entering Green Bay and Lake Michigan.
The Natrual Resources Conservation Service is working with the Great Lakes Commission to establish the network in conjunction with the Brown County Land and Water Conservation Department and Outagamie County Land Conservation Department.
The farms in the Lower Fox River Watershed will showcase conservation systems that reduce erosion and sediment loss leading to nonpoint source pollution. The farms will also serve to spread the word about the technology, research findings and experience gained on the demonstrations.
The agreement between the federal government and the Great Lakes Commission is a five-year, $1 million project.

Compostable – Bio-degradable Twine
Trial in South Auckland
Earlier this year I came across a company promoting compostable and bio-degradable twine. It is certainly something that I have always been interested in. Synthetic twine has always caused problems for growers, especially when disposing of old crops. However, there has not really been a satisfactory alternative.
12 years ago, whilst in the UK, was the first time I saw and used bio-degradable twine. It seemed to work well without too many issues. It was being used by an organic grower who wanted all of the plant material and string to be composted. The calculated extra expense of removing synthetic twine, when removing old crops, verse purchasing bio-degradable, made it financially viable for that company to purchase bio-degradable twine. It has a very different feel compared to synthetic twine.
I am not 100% sure why growers in NZ have not trailed bio-degradable twine in large quantities before (myself included) but I think the cost has certainly been a consideration. Another reason could be that our UV rays are too strong and break down the product too quickly. I have been told that this new product has UV protection.
The product being trialled is a blend of natural fibres including plant and Visose fibres (Viscose rayon is a fiber of regenerated cellulose; it is structurally similar to cotton but may be produced from a variety of plants such as soy, bamboo, and sugar cane.). It is 100% compostable and bio-degradable. Two strengths of twine are being used, the first 250N rated for 25 kg and 400N rated for 40kg.
The twine is rated as low elongation and has a UV protection. It is available in 4 colours, either on three sizes of tomato hooks, 14cm 18cm and 22cm. It is also available on 5kg spools, ranging from 5500 meters per spool for the 250N or 3590 meters per spool for the 400N.
Including trailing this biodegradable twine in our harsh climate, there will also be a trial of the new tomsystem. (TomSystem is an innovative plant staking system for greenhouse crops – it ties the plants onto the twine using galvanised metallic staples.) And another advantage is the V46 clip used in the TomSystem is biodegradable.
If there is a saving to be had disposing the product in a green-fill waste landfill (where possibly methane can be extracted as a by-product) it certainly makes sense to be investigating these options. The TomSystem is more about the grower increasing productivity. However, if it does appear to be a win-win situation- helps the environment and potentially increase profitability, it is certainly worth trying.

Colorado Master Irrigator is an intensive, 4-day, 32-hour educational course for Republican River Basin irrigators.
The Colorado Master Irrigator program is focused on offering advanced training in conservation-oriented, irrigation management practices for farmers and farm managers. Area producers from the Republican River Basin have led the curriculum development of this program.
Topic experts including University Extension specialists will serve as instructors for this course. The in-depth and interactive class format will encourage peer-to-peer exchange among participants and instructors.
The goal of Colorado Master Irrigator is for producers to graduate from program equipped with examples and insights on how they might potentially increase or maintain profitability by implementing different tools and strategies on their operations to improve:
– water use efficiency
– energy-use efficiency
– water conservation
– soil health
How to improve agricultural water management to increase water and energy use efficiency, water conservation, and overall farm profitability is the focus of a new, annual four-day educational program called “Colorado Master Irrigator” that will be available to Republican River Basin irrigators next year.
The Colorado Master Irrigator program curriculum will be taught by topic experts from Colorado and from other Ogallala states. The program’s interactive course format will encourage peer-to-peer exchange among farmers, including with some farmer instructors who will share insights they’ve gained through taking steps to increase water and energy-use efficiency and conservation on their operations. The main goal of the Colorado Master Irrigator program is to serve today’s farmers while benefitting the Ogallala aquifer resource that is so important for irrigators and the region’s communities.
A ~35-member advisory committee has met monthly throughout 2019 to design and prepare the program for launch in early 2020. The advisory committee is made up of producers from across the Republican River Basin along with agricultural consultants, local landowners, Colorado State University Extension, state and federal agency staff, and others.
The Colorado Master Irrigator program will cover practical and economic aspects related to the adoption of a wide range of agricultural water management tools, technologies, and strategies. “Colorado Master Irrigator is about helping us farmers figure out how we can get the perfect amount of water on our crops,” said Brian Lengel, a Burlington-area producer who serves on the program’s advisory committee.
On September 18, 2019, Colorado Master Irrigator was awarded a Water Reserve Supply Fund (WSRF) grant that will help support the program’s continued development over the next three years. Several local grants, along with funds awarded by CSU’s Water Center, served as matching funds required in applying for this state-level funding.
“Significant amounts of time and creativity, contributed by area farmers in particular, has been crucial in terms of developing the Colorado Master Irrigator program and attracting the support necessary to successfully establish this program,” said Brandi Baquera, Colorado Master Irrigator’s program coordinator.
The four-day course, which will cost $100, will take place in Wray over four consecutive weeks: February 12, February 17, February 26, and March 4, 2020. To graduate, participants must complete all 32 course hours, engage with classmates and instructors, and consider committing to using certain agricultural water management strategies and tools covered by the program.

One thing I learned from this ted talk is that most poor people are farmers, if we give them tools and seeds they can grow crops, that means more food for their communities. That means kids will get the nutrients they need to be good people and have a good life.
The second thing I learned from the ted talk is, that from 1960 to 2010 we have fixed poverty quite a bit. Andrew Youn the person who did the ted talk said "we just haven't delivered food to some countries like Africa yet" he also said "one of the reasons people are still poor is they live in remote countries that don't get delivered the food.
Give A Free Lunch is trying to deliver food to countries like Africa and some places in India so they can have a good life and to enjoy life too. Those are some things I learned from the ted talk.


Hebe ‘Heebie Jeebies’ 6” Pot
Hebe hybrida ‘Heebie Jeebies’
Hebe Heebie Jeebies (Hebe hybrida) is a new generation of disease resistant Hebes, bred to perform under a wide range of climates and situations. The rounded growth habit and profusion of blue/mauve flower spikes from late Winter through till early Summer makes this variety suitable for clipping into a formal hedge if requred.
Like all Hebes, Heebie Jeebies grows well in a full sun to partly shaded position and requires a well drained soil. Drought and frost tolerant once established means this tough little plant is easy to maintain.

The beansprouts grow like hell, I'm afraid that is
because they need more sunlight; should I take
the risk to put them outside in bigger containers?
They say untill half May there's chance of night frost :-(
When you have a closer look, you can see tiny sprouts
of sunflower together with the beans, to save place.
The beans are coming out, one week ago!

I need to move very urgently, these plants
need light & space!!

The area is dedicated to the production of great wines and enjoys a dry climate with consistent thermal conditions at the end of the summer. The estate extends over about 50 hectares, of which 25 are vineyards and 5 are olive groves. The remaining area is forest and borders a vast area of woodlands covering some 1,600 hectares. In the steep and hilly vineyards, with an average eight percent incline, wines are trained to Cordone speronato, to Guyot and to Alberello, with yields of around 6 to 7 tons per hectare. The average age of the vineyards is about 25 years. The estate follows the criteria of organic farming, guaranteed and certified by ICEA.

MBI's Grandevo safe to bees in US
The US EPA has granted biopesticide company Marrone Bio Innovations (MBI – Davis, California) permission to remove the bee toxicity warning from its bioinsecticide/acaricide, Grandevo (Chromobacterium subtsugae strain PRAA4-1T). The move follows a review of a third-party field study on Grandevo applied pre-bloom and during bloom to buckwheat during bee flight. Bee mortality was not statistically different from a water treatment control group, the company notes. “We can now reassure growers that Grandevo will not harm honeybees and can provide critically needed pest control throughout the growing season, including when bees are active,” says MBI’s global head of product development, Dr Tim Johnson. MBI introduced Grandevo in the US in late 2011 (Agrow No 626, p 25).

I've been enjoying Science Daily lately. Among other things, it seems to have one of the best collections of articles about problems of water and the environment.
This article about urban turf, says that American irrigated city lawns have triple the area of irrigated corn. What a water waster!
My driveway is gravel, and generally full of weeds. I've been gradually introducing native ground cover, with the intent of letting it take over the drive. Of course, there will still be ruts, but it won't have the impervious surface of concrete, or its massive energy requirement.
My backyard is similar to any urban yard, with a lot of grass. I don't water it, though, and I have decided to start filling it with native grasses. It will look great and won't need mowing!


Hi I have an outdoor grow and have few threads here. I been applying diamecius earth ocassionally in the last 2 weeks. I only sprinkle a light coat on the top of my pots but not too close to stem. The plants seem to love it but when I water it wets and i believe doesnt protect against insects anymore. Can I reapply after every watering? Or will it burn my plants? Or does it even have the ability to burn your plants? Also another question in a couple weeks I plan to add benefecial insects to my garden like ladybugs, praying mantis. Will diamecious earth hurt the good insects from doing their jobs? Or do you just cut down on how many times you apply each week?


Purple colour Enviro-Drip is ideal for use with non potable treated water. It is marked clearly "Caution Not For Drinking" (complies with Australian Standard 3500.1). Enviro-Drip uses Australian standard poly fittings. Tube pressure rating is 300 kPa.
• Uses 13mm Australian Standard poly fittings.
• Non-drain capability improves irrigation efficiency, dramatically reduces time at start-up before emitter pressure compensates. Allows the irrigator to have short pulse irrigation cycles.
• Emitter has “self-flushing” action at the beginning and end of each irrigation cycle helping to reduce the risk of blockages.
• Large pre-entry filter area helps to screen water-borne particles.
• Non-drain feature stops a vacuum forming on shut down and prevents soil from being drawn into the emitter via the outlet hole.
• Proven pressure compensating mechanism for longer runs, steep and undulating terrain.

Večer: Running Ahead of Europe
Ljubljana, 7 January - PRESS/VEČER
The purchase price of milk in Slovenia covers a fragmentization of the Slovene agriculture and its poor productivity. As there is actually nothing to stimulate its labour-intensity, the Slovene agriculture will be unable to compete with Europe. In light of this, the government decision to rise the price of milk is questionable, Wednesday's issue of Večer writes.

I’m getting antsy … Remember that mini-greenhouse I built for my tomatoes this year? It’s working! There’s an absolute jungle of plants in there, some taller than me. Granted, I’m just shy of 5’6” and they’re in a raised bed, but STILL … I’ve never had tomato vines get that tall here in my garden.
Did I mention that they’re loaded with green tomatoes, as well? And loads of flowers, to boot? Well, they are. Our 10-day forecast is calling for temps in the 80s again, so I’m practically dancing with excitement over the possibility of getting ripe tomatoes soon. Oh, and speaking of weather – remember those three days of ridiculous rain last week? Not a problem at all. Everything remained nice and dry, and we didn’t lose a single fruit from splitting.
I think my favorite way to have tomatoes is straight off the vine, while they’re still warm from the sun. That experience just screams “Summer!” to me. A close second is oven roasted, with a bit of garlic and shallots, then tossed with some nice homemade pasta. Top that with a little chiffonade of basil and freshly grated Parmesan … yowza.
I love it so much, in fact, that I’ll post the recipe next week, as soon as I get my hands on some tomatoes. Sorry, folks, but if I have to wait, then you do too. Besides, it’s just not the same without pictures. Worst case? I’ll go to my farmers’ market and buy some, just so I can make this for you.
Until then, I want to know: What’s your favorite way to have summer tomatoes?


Recycle your green and food waste into organic and peat-free compost at home
The Compost Box from Ridan is a composter for the home. There are two models available both of which use insulation to create a warm environment to encourage the composting process and ensure good quality compost every time.
Who uses the Ridan Compost Box
- Domestic home use
- Small shops and businesses
Both composting machines feature sturdy, stainless steel cases so they can withstand the weather and prevent infiltration from rodents.
They are both insulated with a 3cm thick foam casing that enables the compost to warm up and stay warm, all through the year.
The heat in the upper layers accelerates the composting process, then bugs and worms in the lower layers produce the finished product.
An underfloor aeration system draws air in to the mixture whilst allowing access for worms, bugs and microbes.
Other features include:
- Adjustable air inlet valve
- Fluid outlet drain
- Air inlet for option pumped air
- Rodent and vermin proof casing
- Water / weatherproof, long-life stainless steel casing
- Underfloor aeration system
Cleverly designed air vents draw fresh air in and keep the rain out, whilst maintaining the warm temperature inside.
A lid at the top makes it easy to throw your food waste and green waste in and a harvesting hatch at the bottom enables you to draw your compost out.
The Ridan Compost Box does not require any power so can be positioned anywhere in your garden.
What can be added to the compost?
You can add any bio-degradable matter to the composter. That includes veg, meat, fish, egg shells, in fact any food substance, cooked or raw. You can also add green waste from the garden.
The important thing is to create an equal balance of nitrogen (from the food and green waste) and carbon (wood chippings, pellets or sawdust). This balance together with oxygen from the air is what creates the perfect environment for the composting process to begin.
Worms, bugs and microbes then move in to finish the process by breaking down and filtering the compost. After a three month period of maturation, your compost will be ready to use.
Organic, peat-free compost
Your home-made, organic and peat-free compost can be produced in as little as three months, however the longer it is left, the better it gets as it continues to mature.
The Ridan Compost Box is the perfect solution for environmentally conscious people who want to help reduce greenhouse gases and be responsible for their own waste at home.
You could even grow your own food at home and complete the full eco life-cycle!
Why buy a Ridan Compost Box composter?
While composting takes place naturally, it is not always easy to get the conditions just right all year round. A compost heap, or cheap, plastic composter will allow the mixture to get wet or cold, slowing or even stalling the process. Our insulated, thermal Compost Box range ensure the conditions are right all year round.
There are other thermal insulated composters on the market, but they often do not allow for air flow in or fluid flow out which can hinder the process.
At Ridan, we have tried and tested all of the top-selling composters and set out, not only to improve on their existing features, but to add new, innovative features that only exist on Ridan products.
|Product name:||Ridan Compost Box 4|
|Suitable for:||Up to 4 people|
|Capacity:||Up to 15ltrs of food waste per week|
|Size:||59 x 59 x 125cm|
|Cost:||£700 + VAT|
Let’s get started
The Ridan Compost Box 4 is a great option for someone new to composting, or an environmentally friendly family of around 4 people.
It’s easy to use and guarantees good quality compost so long as you use it as instructed.
The Compost Box 4 has a large loading hatch which is 44cm x 44cm where you add the food waste.
Once the compost is ready, the compost can be accessed via the harvesting hatch which is 35cm x 24cm wide.
At just 59cm squared and 125cm high, it is big enough to cope with an average family’s food waste but small enough to be placed outside the kitchen door, or tucked away in the corner of the garden.
|Product name:||Ridan Compost Box 10|
|Suitable for:||Up to 10 people|
|Capacity:||Up to 35ltrs of food waste per week|
|Size:||104 x 104 x 122cm|
|Cost:||£1200 + VAT|
Let’s get serious
The Ridan Compost Box 10 is big enough to handle food waste for up to 10 people. This composting machine would be ideal for large households, small businesses, community groups or allotments.
The loading hatch is a generous 54cm x 5cm which is plenty big enough for a bucket of food waste and there are three harvesting hatches in total, each measuring 35cm x 24cm for accessing the lovely compost that forms at the bottom of the composter.
Due to it’s size, the Ridan Compost Box 10 makes use of clever, but simple physics to maintain rigidity by using a hexagonal structure. This composting machine is 104cm x 104cm in width and depth and 122cm in height so would be better suited to a larger garden or open space, though it’s stainless steel casing and eye catching design could possibly make an interesting feature in your garden for your friends and neighbours to admire.
The Ridan Compost Box 10 will be delivered to your home or premises via pallet, fully assembled with instructions for use.
Which Ridan Compost Box is right for me?
You could base your decision on the recommended amount of people the composter is suitable for, whether it is 4 people or 10 people.
You could also choose by the size of the composter and whether it will fit in your garden / premises.
Possibly the best guide is how many litres of food waste you produce in a week.
Here is a comparison table to help:
|Specifications||Compost Box 4||Compost Box 10|
|Maximum Throughput||15 Litres per week||35 Litres per week|
|Suitable for||Approx. 4 people||Approx. 10 people|
|Unit Dimensions (meters)||59cm x 59cm x 125cm H||104cm x 104cm x1.22cm H|
|Assembly||Flat pack (requires alen key)||Fully assembled|
|Price of Compost Box||£700 + VAT||£1200 + VAT|
If you care for the environment and are serious about composting, then the Ridan Compost Box is the perfect choice for you.

The plan to legally export rice to China will be implemented through 10 publicly owned companies, according to the Myanmar Rice Federation.
Myanmar’s negotiators initially sent a list of 100 companies to be involved in the official rice trade to China, but Chinese authorities asked the number to be reduced to 10, citing difficulties in inspections and quality control.
The selected companies will mainly handle the exports to China but they will also support small and medium-sized traders and other stakeholders, Dr Myo Aung Kyaw from MRF said.
“When we [legally] export rice to China, we will have to compete with Vietnam, Thailand and Pakistan, so maintaining the quality of the product is essential. We will also need to improve our national competitiveness. It’s risky to rely on only one market,” said U Ye Min Aung, secretary general of the MRF.
Myanmar Agribusiness Public Corp Ltd (MAPCO); Golden Land East Asia Co, founded by Union of Myanmar Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry (UMFCCI); FRP Co, founded by Myanmar Rice and Paddy Traders Association; MRM Co, founded by Myanmar Rice Millers Association; MRDC Co, founded by Mandalay Rice Traders Association; Ayeyarwaddy Pathein Co, a company founded by traders from the Bayintnaung wholesale market; SPRDC Co, founded by rice traders from Muse; and an unnamed company founded by rice traders from Rakhine state have been chosen so far to participate in the official export, MRF said.
China Certification and Inspection Group (CCIC), an independent certification and inspection organisation with accreditation by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) of China, is set to open an office in Yangon with plans to later expand to Mandalay and Muse, U Chan Thar Oo, deputy chair of Muse Rice Traders Association, said.
In 2014, Myanmar exported 1.1 million tonnes of rice comprising 900,000 tonnes of unbroken rice and 200,000 tonnes of broken rice used in livestock feeds. Most of the rice export, 800,000 tonnes, went to China through cross-border trade in Muse.
Currently, industry representatives are preparing necessary documents and accreditation for official rice exports, expected to be finished by the end February, while the rice is expected to be shipped in April and May.

🍍Here's the Good Stuff👀What's New & In Season in Miami💖
It's Pineapple O'clock!
Pineapples are back!! Summer has begun in Miami and the pineapples are coming in hot.
Banana abundance this week! Thank you to all of or patient banana variety box orders! We finally shipped out all of the banana boxes and California variety boxes! This Monday we harvested Nam Wah, Mysore, FHIA 18, Brazilian, Orinoco, praying hands, gold finger, and some Cuban reds!
The first crop of avocados are here! 🥑South Florida avocados rule because there are hundreds of different varieties that you can't find in the store. These are so good we often eat them plain, but they also make a great guacamole or avocado toast! 🥑
Rambutan is back by popular demand! About a year ago we asked the people on our Facebook page if they would be interested in purchasing non-local fruit like rambutan from Guatemala. We got a unanimous yes. So far this is the only fruit on or website that is imported. If you only want local and sustainably grown fruit just leave a note saying no rambutan when you order and we will not include it in your box. So now it's your turn fruit lovers, is anyone interested in fresh mangosteen or durian? We would love to make them available to you all but they would have to come from Thailand which means they would have to be overnight shipped to you.
Just a small Jaboticaba harvest this week. Some of our many pre-orders were fulfilled! If you pre-ordered and haven't received Jaboticaba please be patient because we have so many orders to fulfill. Luckily these trees fruit multiple times a year.
Rosy Gold mangos are ready! This early mango variety is sweet and flavorful. The picture is just a small fraction of what we harvested on Monday, and there's still more left on the trees! 🤗 Pre order mangoes asap because we will be harvesting many more amazing varieties in only a week or two!
Jackfruit is still going strong here. Order a jackfruit mix box and invite your friends over for an awesome jackfruit eating party!
Look out for longans coming in soon! Pre-order now to reserve your spot on the list!
Who's interested in velvet apples? We have a source in the Keys. Respond to this email if you are and we will list them on the website.
How about key limes? These limes are much sweeter than any you can find in the store. They also pack a lot of juice!
We also have noni and banana blended and dehydrated into a fruit leather. Anyone interested?
Dehydated star fruits also coming soon! These would make a great on-the-go treat or topping to a smoothie bowl!
Passionfruit Heaven Smoothie
1 small or half large papaya
2 large passionfruits or 6 small passionfruit
5 frozen mysore bananas
(optional add key lime)
The passionfruit almost gives it an orange creamsicle flavor


Automating the lighting cycle in your grow room helps to eradicate timing errors that could otherwise prove to be costly for your plants. Whether you’re looking for a light timer or a timer contactor, we stock a wide range of high quality products that help make the process of growing plants that little bit easier and safer.
If you want to control your light cycles with precision, our high quality Grasslin light timers represent a great choice. Just remember, for a High Intensity Grow Light you will need to protect the timer from high start-up currents by using a timer contactor. These simple devices insulate your timer from high currents – thus ensuring that they do not become damaged.
Failure to combine a contactor and a timer when using a HID grow light may cause damage to the timer and prevent it from working properly. This can leave your lights switched on until you next check them and disrupt the growth cycle of your plants.
We sell a number of contactors with different power ratings that you can match to your lighting system. If you’re unsure what light timer or timer contactor is best suited to your set up, call our friendly team of experts on 0845 345 5178.
