After prepping a bed with compost and planting some potatoes, the rest of the bed was too pretty, too inviting. So, I said, "Heck with it!" and stuck two of my tomatoes in. They had only been hardened off for all of ONE day , and the next two days are supposed to be quite warm and sunny. This is approx 2-3 weeks before last frost date, but the forecast looks warm for at least a week out. I watered them in good, so we'll see how they hold up!

I would remove the pavers and heater from the far corner. relocate pavers to the left side of the yard and edge up the concrete to the double doors of what looks like a shed. Then add a raised corner bed in the back corner for flower gardening. Run another raised bed down the wall running to the right of the picture for herbs or vegetables. then grass in the rest of the area.

The handout added that S Alam Group was importing huge quantities of onion as part of the consignment
The first consignment of onion will arrive through cargo plane from Egypt tomorrow, according to a commerce ministry handout on Saturday.
The handout added that S Alam Group was importing huge quantities of onion as part of the consignment.
A previous press release from the ministry on Friday said they were taking initiative to import onion on an emergency basis from Egypt, Turkey, Afghanistan and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to stabilize the local onion market.
It also said it was possible to supply adequate supply of onion in the market in the shortest possible time, while another large consignment of onion was coming by sea.
The Ministry of Finance also said they were taking measures to expedite onion import and ensure that no delay was caused in disbursing funds in this regard.
Over the week, the prices of onion in Dhaka’s retail kitchen markets soared to record Tk240-250 a kilogram kg, with the one imported from Myanmar selling for Tk230-240 a kg.
Visiting several kitchen markets on Saturday in the capital’s Malibagh, Rampura, Madhubag and Karwanbazar, local onion was found being wholesaled at Tk200-220, and those from Myanmar for Tk220.
On September 29, the Indian government banned the export of onion with immediate effect until further order in order to improve their domestic availability of onions.
Before that, the Indian government had fixed minimum export price of onion to rein in soaring prices in their domestic market. Since then, onion prices in Bangladesh markets have been on the rise.

This variety is only available in regular seeds; she will be popular with new growers, old-school connoisseurs and home-breeders looking for a reliably potent variety which is easy and robust to grow. For many years there have been repeated requests for a White Widow cross, she is one of the original iconic breeds and the strongest indica-dominant in our collection. The Ultimate is perhaps Dutch Passion's heaviest yielder, but also very powerful. A male White Widow and female ‘Ultimate’ were put together to produce this mixed indica/sativa.
The high is strong and intense yet allows you to remain active. The plants are very oily with a noticeable Haze taste together with earthy/citrus flavours which are twisted together with pine. She grows up to 1.5m tall with very good yields and does well in all mediums with the best results in DWC (deep water culture). Plants can be harvested as early as 8 weeks but some will prefer to wait 10 weeks for full bud production and ripeness.

A weed that supplies off of rotting component is actually commonly considerably extra complicated to handle than a prompt expanding, dry spell forgiving plant like a crabgrass seed vegetation. Visit
A popular grass is actually the popular mallow. It uses up a large amount of area in the dirt and also grows in lumps. The typical mallow is going to increase until one thing is performed about it. If remaining unattended, the pot may completely eclipse the natural plant life in a really quick time frame. If the typical mallow takes contain on a bedroom of yard where there are actually no weeds developing, this can easily take place.

Dandelion is actually one example of a grass that can be targeted with a spray to keep it coming from spreading. A leafed environment-friendly vegetation along with sharp thorns is another.
The condition can apply to just some vegetations, while some others may be actually thought about “pots” also though they are actually certainly not really counted one of the true weed classification. It is actually complicated to establish what plants are “grass”, where they happen from, exactly how they increase, and why they are actually considered a weed instead than a practical or even intended plant, only as it is actually along with weeds in your yard or even backyard.

US Wheat Price Report (Feb 11, 2013)
- All three futures markets fell this week thanks to some precipitation and a forecast for more in the drought stricken U.S. Plains. Weak export demand and a strong U.S. dollar also added pressure. Markets jumped following USDA’s WASDE release on Friday but gave back the gains in the afternoon due to a lack of surprises in the data. The KCBT March contract saw the largest loss of the three wheat contracts, falling 22 cents to $8.00/bu. MGEX lost 16 cents to $8.36/bu and CBOT closed down 9 cents at $7.56/bu. CBOT March corn fell 27 cents to $7.09 and CBOT March soybeans dropped 22 cents to $14.53/bu.
- HRW basis in the Gulf was firmer this week in response to an announcement by Brazil’s trade authority Camex to exempt 1.0 MMT of wheat from its 10 percent import tariff. Between April and July, the country will allow tariff free imports from the U.S. and Canada due to a crop shortage in Brazil’s Mercosur partner Argentina. The exemption could be increased to 2.0 MMT, if necessary.
- In its monthly WASDE update released on Friday, USDA lowered US ending stocks from 19.5 MMT to 18.8 MMT due to increased feed use. The move provided a boost to futures markets immediately after the report’s release because it was a larger reduction than analysts had expected. However, the gain dissipated in the second half of the trading day.
- USDA reported weekly commercial wheat sales of 300,800 MT, just within trade estimates of 300,000 to 500,000 MT. Weak export demand pressured futures markets on Thursday.
- The Baltic Panamax Index gained 9 percent this week to 723 on Friday. There was a rush of fixing activity ahead of the Chinese New Year and an increase in activity from the South American harvest. Maritime Research's Grain Freight Index decreased this week from 496.5 to 495.0.
- The US Dollar Index increased this week from 79.14 to 80.32.

The price of a loaf could rise by a fifth within weeks, food industry experts have warned.
The cost of wheat has increased by more than a quarter (26.7 per cent) compared to last year, alongside diesel for transport and gas for bakery ovens.
While some of the costs will be absorbed by retailers industry experts have said rising shelf prices are 'unavoidable', LancsLive reports.
Pasta prices have risen while globally, food prices are at a 10-year high.
Other foods will be affected too. Wheat used for animal feeds has increased in price – 16.2 per cent more than a year ago – trade magazine The Grocer reports.
A shortage of lorry drivers and higher wages to battle the recruitment crisis, added to rising fuel prices, have led to rising food prices.
Alice Jones, analyst with the agricultural body, AHDB, said: "Global wheat prices keep climbing each week on the back of supply concerns, and UK prices are following global trends."
She added: "As long as global prices keep rising there is scope for domestic prices to keep rising."
In a recent review of global food market, the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization reported a 'recent surge in agricultural input prices" adding: "Higher prices of these inputs will inevitably translate into higher production costs, and eventually into higher food prices."

Gordon Polson, CEO of Britain's Federation of Bakers, told The Grocer: "Energy pricing is also on the rise, while HGV driver shortages and recruitment are resulting in increased wage rates."
And Allied Bakeries, which owns Kingsmill, said the industry was "exposed to inflationary pressure in relation to the cost of flour, as well as the gas we use in our ovens and fuel for our delivery fleet."

The 44th Sunbelt Agricultural Expo begins Oct. 18. A welcome return to normal, strong exhibitor lineup and attendance is expected for its full three days. And it looks like good, mild ‘chamber of commerce’ weather awaits it all in Moultrie, Ga.
“We are hoping for a much larger crowd this year. People are hopefully getting past the pandemic and are ready to get out there. There is a concern for people traveling with high gas prices, but if people invest their time to come, they will learn tips and techniques, whether it’s about new seed varieties, soil protection and fertility, irrigation procedures, things to lower their input costs. It will allow us to improve and maintain our economic and environmental sustainability,” said Chip Blalock, Sunbelt Expo executive director.
Mild temperatures are expected the week of the show, with daytime highs in mid-to-upper 60s, or near perfect weather for an outside show in south Georgia.
A highlight of the show will take place Tuesday when the overall winner will be named Swisher Sunbelt Expo Southeastern Farmer of the Year. Ten state winners attend the show to learn who will be selected as the overall winner.
Education is the key component of the show with over 300 seminars and demonstrations offered over the 3-day event. These seminars and demonstrations are taught in exhibit areas for beef, dairy, poultry, forestry, pond management, equine and cattle management. Farmers and ranchers attending gain beneficial knowledge on the latest in cutting edge techniques from industry leaders and university specialists.
The Expo works with 21 different education sponsors to host a strong seminar and demo schedule. These education sponsors include major universities and colleges with six of these having permanent exhibit buildings on-site.
The Expo will feature Youth Educational Challenges sponsored by Country Financial for 6th-12th graders as a competitive and fun opportunity for students to demonstrate their knowledge in five different content areas.
Additionally, an Ag Mechanics contest sponsored by Farm Credit Associations of Georgia will be offered for students. Finally, the Advocacy in Action contest sponsored by Georgia Farm Bureau will be held for high school and college students with a particular interest in ag policy, law, and communication.
River Fresh, created by the Flint River Soil & Water Conservation District (FRSWCD) and run by Frenando Jackson, “Farmer Fredo,” will organize the display that attracts hobby gardeners and enthusiasts alike. A bounty of information on gardening tips, tools, healthy recipes, and more will be offered in the Georgia Metals Pavilion and in the demonstration garden.
A crowd pleaser is the 600-acre research farm’s field demonstrations. These demos showcase harvesting and tillage equipment for peanuts, corn, soybeans and hay. In addition, hay demos will include all facets of hay harvesting from cutting to baling and will provide visitors the opportunity to see 80 different types of hay harvesting equipment run in a true farm setting.
Arkansas is the Expo’s 2022 Spotlight State. Agriculture has been Arkansas’ largest industry since this southern wonderland gained statehood in 1836.
Chevrolet, a ten-year partner of Sunbelt Agricultural Exposition, will feature the Chevy Truck Tour with multiple consumer engagement stations and on-site product staff.

Operation Greens Scheme is scheme aims to stabilize the supply of Tomato, Onion, and Potato (TOP) crops. ‘Operation Greens’ was announced in the budget speech of 2018-19 on the line of ‘Operation Flood’.
Operation Greens Scheme’s objective is to enhance the importance of TOP farmers. Government announces Operation Green budget of Rs. 500 for the scheme implementation.
This scheme promotes Agri- Logistics, Producers Organizations, Professional Management, and Processing Facilities. Operation Green Yojana ensures the availability of TOP crops throughout the country round the year without price volatility.
The scheme was extended during June 2020 to cover all fruits & vegetables (TOTAL) for a period of six months on a pilot basis as part of Aatmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan.
What is Operation Greens Scheme?
- Operation Greens Scheme is a price fixation scheme
- This scheme aims to ensure that the farmers get the right price for their vegetables
- This scheme desires to encourage Farmer Producers Organizations (FPO), Agri-logistics, processing facilities, and professional management of agri-produce
- It focuses on the managed marketing of Tomatoes, Onions, and Potatoes (TOP vegetables) by connecting farmers with customers
- State Agriculture and other Marketing Federations, Farmer Producer Organizations (FPO), cooperatives, companies, Self-help groups, food processors, etc. can avail the financial assistance under it.
- To help in the structural and infrastructure part of the scheme, agriculture market committee (APMCs) promoted markets will be connected to the e-NAM platform.
- The government will also support the expansion of 22,000 agricultural markets.
Operation Greens Mission:
- This scheme aims to improve the value realization of the TOP farmers
- To sustain TOP production groups and their FPOs and connect them with the market
- Reasonable production planning in the TOP clusters to stabilize the price for producers and consumers
- Reduction in post-harvest failures by creating the farm gate infrastructure
- To develop a suitable agro-logistics
- Create a suitable storage capacity linking consumption compromises
- Increase in food processing capacities and value addition in the TOP value chain with firm linkages with production clusters.
- Setting up a market intelligence network to collect real-time data on demand and supply and price of TOP crops.
Operation Greens Scheme Strategy:
The strategy will compose a series of steps as decided by the Ministry which contains-
Short term Price Stabilisation Measures:
- MoFPI will provide 50% of the subsidy on the following two components-
- Transportation of Tomato Onion Potato(TOP) Crops from production to storage
- The hiring of appropriate storage facilities for TOP Crops
Long Term Integrated value chain development projects:
- Capacity Building of FPOs & their consortium
- Marketing / Consumption Points
- Post-harvest processing facilities
- Quality production
- Creation and Management of e-platform for demand and supply management of TOP Crops.
Why Operation Greens?
- Operation Greens scheme was launched on the lines of Operation Flood
- This scheme desires to recount the success of milk, fruits, and vegetables
- Operation Greens scheme plan is to double the income of the farmers
- The problem with vegetable things is that when their production increases sharply, their prices crumple
- This happens because there is not sufficient modern storehouse capacity for the vegetables
- The links between processing and managed retailing are very vulnerable in India
- Because of this farmer receives less than 1/4th of what consumers pay for their produce in major cities
- Operation Greens will concentrate on the problems for basic ingredients
- In 1970 National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) started Operation Flood
- This scheme is also known as White Revolution
- The main objective of this program is to expand milk production in the country
- It directed to India becoming the largest producer of milk in 2016-17
Challenges in Implementation:
- There are so many varieties of TOP vegetables, grown in different climatic conditions and in different seasons.
- This makes marketing, processing, and storage more complex, unlike in milk that is a relatively homogenous outcome produced around the year.
- Probable technology options for long-term storage, transport, and processing are yet to be designed.
- The energy power of available technologies, specifically with increasing fuel prices, poses additional challenges.
- The organized market at present is very small in relation to total production.
- The market has to be designed through a possible business model which is time and cost-consuming.
- The scheme has no provision for institutional setup in implementing the scheme like the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) in Operation Flood.
Pattern of Assistance:
The pattern of assistance will comprise of grants-in-aid at the rate of 50% of the eligible project cost in all areas, subject to a maximum of Rs. 50 crores per project. However, in the case where PIA is/are FPO(s), the grant-in-aid will be at the rate of 70% of the eligible project cost in all areas, subject to a maximum of Rs. 50 crores per project.
Eligible Organisation would include State Agriculture and other Marketing Federations, Farmer Producer Organizations (FPO), cooperatives, companies, Self-help groups, food processors, logistic operators, service providers, supply chain operators, retail and wholesale chains, and central and state governments and their entities/organizations will be eligible to participate in the program and to avail financial assistance.
The applicant fulfilling the eligibility criteria under the scheme is required to submit the online application on the Sampada Portal of the ministry attached with complete documents.
How many crops does Operation Green Scheme?
Under the Operation Greens scheme, in a statement Government said that benefit has been expanded to extra 10 fruits which are Mango, Banana, Guava, Kiwi, Litchi, Papaya, Citrus, Pineapple, Pomegranate, Jackfruit, and 8 vegetables which are French beans, Bitter Gourd, Brinjal, Capsicum, Carrot, Cauliflower, Chillies (Green) and Okra.
- There is a need to link major consumption centers to major production centers with a minimal number of mediators
- Linking the processing industry with organized retailing. On average, about one-fourth of the product must be processed.
- Budget notification of expanding the allowance for the food processing industry by 100% is a welcome step in this situation.
- By developing forward and backward linkages, the government can ease large price fluctuations, raise farmers’ share in the price paid by the consumer, and at the same time, assure lower expenses for the buyers.

Singapore - Test results on food products from China "satisfactory": AVA
SINGAPORE: The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) said test results on food products from China, including fresh vegetables, have so far been "satisfactory".
This comes as China is investigating claims into reports that vegetable sellers are spraying cabbage with formaldehyde to keep it fresh.
Formaldehyde is commonly used as a preservative for laboratory specimens and embalming.
It is also a cancer-causing substance, and can be fatal, if ingested.
Media and Internet reports this week said the practice has been used by dozens of vegetable sellers in the eastern province of Shandong.
AVA said food products, including fresh vegetables from China are regularly tested to ensure they comply with Singapore's food safety standards.
Produce are tested for preservatives like formaldehyde, pesticide residues and even heavy metals.
AVA said 29 per cent of Singapore's fresh vegetable supply is from China. AVA also added that consumers are encouraged to wash their fresh vegetables thoroughly before cooking and eating.
Separately, NTUC FairPrice said about 30 to 35 per cent of its vegetables come from China, but theses are not from the affected region.
FairPrice said it's a primary food safety partner of AVA, and works closely with the authorities to provide customers with safe and quality food.


Three more ships with grain have departed Ukrainian ports and are headed to Turkey for inspection, Turkey’s defence ministry said on Friday.
The three ships are loaded with a total of 58,000 tons of corn.
The departure of the ships comes after the first grain ship since the start of the war left Ukraine earlier this week. It crossed the Black Sea under a wartime deal and passed inspection Wednesday in Istanbul and then headed on to Lebanon.
Ukraine is one of the world’s main breadbaskets and the stocks of grain trapped were exacerbating a sharp rise in food prices and raising fears of a global hunger crisis.
The ships that departed Friday from Ukraine are from among over a dozen bulk carriers and cargo ships that had been loaded with grain and stuck at the ports there since the start of the invasion in late February.
While tens of thousands of tons of grains are now making their way out with these latest shipments, it’s still a fraction of the 20 million tons of grains that Ukraine says are trapped in the country’s silos and ports, and which must be shipped out in order to make space for the new harvest.
It will be recalled a ship carrying Ukrainian grains departed from the port of Odesa on Monday.
It was the first grain-carrying ship to leave Ukraine since February.
The development was achieved after weeks of negotiations between Ukraine and Russia. The Sierra Leone-flagged cargo ship Razoni finally set sail carrying 26,000 tons of Ukrainian corn according to a statement from Ukraine’s infrastructure ministry. The ministry added that 16 additional ships are waiting their turn to leave the port.


The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Region is the largest importer of food in the world, and has some of the most at-risk countries for food insecurity. Increase in global food prices, political uncertainties, ongoing wars, water scarcity, and poorly developed environmental policies have contributed to a growing food crisis in the region. The Hollings Center held a dialogue meeting in 2017 entitled, ‘The Food Security Factor: Stability, Governance and Development Choices’ to address some of the causes and effects of food insecurity. To pick up where that dialogue left off, Michael Carroll recently spoke with Turki Faisal Al Rasheed and Andy Fisher about the food security challenges brought about by the pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and the climate crisis.
Dr. Turki Al Rasheed is a businessman, author, academic, and the founder and CEO of Golden Grass, Inc., an agriculture and contracting company based in Saudi Arabia. He is an Adjunct Professor at the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Department of Agricultural and Bio-systems engineering, University of Arizona .Dr. Al Rasheed is the author of more than half a dozen books. His most recent publication is Public Governance and Strategic Management Capabilities: Public Governance in the Gulf States.

It's the time of year when the grass starts growing. Well - some of it will be really, really long, some not that long, and most of the places it's kind of just MOSS! It's so not fun to walk around, raking the moss, trying to get the grass to start growing. Well - moss is also green, but I don't want it..... So today's pattern is simply for a tiny little lawn.

Is there another alternative to getting rid of ferry ring in a lawn than by removing the soil?
Rate This FAQ
Some control methods that you may want to try for fairy ring are heavily aerating the affected area to reduce compaction; after aerating, water deeply to keep the lawn from drying out; keep your lawn's thatch layer under 1/2 inch; and you can help mask its appearance until it grows out by applying around the area and throughout the lawn. Below I have included a link with information about fairy ring.

Intended for maximum storage, Rossa d'Inverno Rubino translates from the Italian as "Red Winter Ruby." This long-day storage onion has a globe shape with deep red skins streaked with even deeper red longitudinal lines. Perfect for the home gardener or fresh market, it's an excellent choice for planting in the spring and harvesting by late August. Due to its dry-ish nature, if it is dried and cured carefully, it will store for five to six months. Its flesh is pungent and sharp, bringing a tear to the eyes of chefs as late as January from a summer harvest.

Global weather issues and panic-buying induced by COVID-19 have exhausted local supplies of rice throughout many heavy rice-consuming countries in 2020. This environment has presented unique export opportunities for U.S. rice, just as America’s new crop is ready to hit the market.
Export powerhouses like India and Viet Nam have dropped pandemic-related export restrictions and maintain supply surpluses, so U.S. rice will still face competition in key export markets but changing global dynamics could benefit the U.S. rice industry this year and next.
In recent weeks, drought in South America has led Brazil to open a temporary duty-free quota for 400,000 MT of rice. While it remains to be seen whether Brazil will be more than a short-term market, their aggressive interest in U.S. rice indicates the great need for rice there, typically satisfied by their MERCOSUR neighbors.
As it stands, 120,000 MT of U.S. rice is slated to head to Brazil over the coming weeks, and there is already unofficial talk of a new quota being opened for 2021.
Weather hasn’t only affected the Western Hemisphere. An ongoing drought in Australia means that domestic rice supplies there will not last through the end of 2020. Annual U.S. exports to Australia are typically around 10,000 MT but Australian producers are strong U.S. competitors in markets such as Taiwan, South Korea, and Israel.
Their reduced exports or absence in these markets will be notable, particularly in the West Bank/Israel where USA Rice began promotional activities in 2019 and has already seen significantly increased market share from 5 percent ($9.8 million) in 2018 to 24 percent ($23.7 million) in the first six months of this calendar year. Israel is now the tenth largest export market for U.S. rice based on value.
Iraq, which imports 1.2 million MT of rice annually, manages a public distribution system which provides the population access to a variety of staple commodities, including three kilograms of rice every two months. They, too, are facing a massive rice shortage.
Economic challenges due to the low global price of oil have restrained the government’s ability to purchase strategic supplies of wheat and rice; approximately 90 percent of the government’s revenue comes from oil revenue. The recent ExIm insurance coverage on lines of credit will help with Iraq’s ability to purchase U.S. rice.

On the international food aid front, the U.S. has shipped 110,000 MT of U.S. rice (nearly $64 million) in FY20 to help countries provide nutritious food to those in need. A Food for Progress program, which is utilizing rice in Burkina Faso, will be tendering for an additional 30,000 MT of U.S. rice later this Fall.
“While world food stocks and production levels for the most widely consumed staples, such as rice, are near all-time highs, the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on jobs and income has increased the number of food insecure people worldwide, so the demand is strong throughout our commercial and international food aid channels,” said USA Rice President & CEO Betsy Ward.
“USDA’s most recent figures for global rice trade for 2021 continue to project increased trade tonnage, looking at 44.4 million MT, which equates to a 2 percent bump from 2019 trade levels.”
Ward added: “While we continue to supply our traditional global customers with high quality rice, USA Rice will work to capitalize on these new market opportunities and will operate promotional activities dynamically so we can adapt to the changing market opportunities both domestically and abroad.”

- The corn market saw some buying strength on Tuesday as prices posted moderate gains on the session. With overall news relatively quiet, a second day of strength in the wheat market and short covering helped support corn futures but failed to push through the 440 price level.
- The corn export market is supportive of prices as US corn is fairly priced versus global competition, and that has been reflected in multiple weeks of good export sales and shipments. The export sale and shipment pace is currently running ahead of the USDA target. With an overall heavy US supply picture, corn futures may be limited in rally potential so as not to price US corn out of the export market.
- The national average corn basis has improved again this past week. On Monday, the national basis was 26.4 cents under the May futures, reflecting limited participation of cash sellers at these price levels.
- Brazilian weather looks suitable overall for crop development of the second (safrinha) crop corn as planting finishes. There are regional reports on stress due to heat, but the weather trend still looks favorable.
- Chinese corn imports for January and February were approximately 6.190 mmt, up 165 year-over-year. US to China corn shipments in this window have been light, reflecting the impact of the strong Brazil corn export program this winter.
- Soybeans ended the day mixed with slight losses in the front months and a slight gain for new crop in quiet, range-bound trade. Soybean meal ended the day higher, but soybean oil was pulled lower by palm oil which may have seen some profit taking from its recent rally.
- Brazil’s harvest is over 63% complete with the main growing state of Mato Grosso 96% complete. Weather has been conducive to harvest, but production estimates are very varied. In Argentina, weather has been favorable and this morning, Dr. Cordonnier raised his estimate of Argentine production by 1 mmt to 51 mmt.
- In Indonesia, palm oil exports have fallen by 25.4% month over month to 1.59m tonnes from 2.13m tonnes in January. This has caused a rally in palm oil futures which has mostly supported soybean oil over the past week, although prices have begun to slip.
- Tomorrow, the Federal Reserve will announce whether they are cutting interest rates or holding off again. So far, with the US dollar higher, traders may be pricing in that they will not reduce rates. Often, when the dollar rallies, it can pressure commodity prices.
- It was another up day for all three US wheat classes. Paris milling wheat futures again lent support with a higher close for the third consecutive session. Today’s move upward is also despite a higher trend in the US Dollar Index, and winter wheat conditions improving in three of the four reporting states. The only decline was in Oklahoma, with a 4% drop to 61% good to excellent.
- As mentioned yesterday, there is more talk that the EU is preparing to issue sanctions against Russia. Specifically, they may impose tariffs on grain imports. A duty of 95 euros per mt would be set in place for Russian (and Belarusian) cereal grains; a 50% tariff would be added to oil seeds and products. Furthermore, the Polish prime minister has called for an outright EU ban on imports of Russian ag goods.
- In southern Brazil, 2023 wheat production was down 35.9% from the previous year. And now, due to depressed prices, the planted area for 2024 may decrease. However, if production is average, it will lead to greater supply than a year ago. CONAB is projecting a 6% decrease in planted areas but a production increase of 18.4% from 2023 at 9.59 mmt.
- According to the Iraqi Ministry of Commerce, their country has achieved self-sufficiency with 2 mmt of wheat in reserves. They are said to use about 4.5 – 5.0 mmt of wheat per year. In other words, they will not need to import wheat to maintain their stocks for seven months; they are also anticipating a large upcoming crop. Additionally, they have been able to use groundwater to irrigate and grow large crops in recent years, in the face of the country’s worst drought on record.
- The Global Dairy Trade Auction declined 2.80% today with cheese, butter and powder all negatively impacted.
- Class III milk despite the negative GDT closed higher on the day led by Q3 futures contracts seeing more than a 25 cent gain. The 2024 Class III average also improved 16 cents to $17.46/cwt.
- The spot trade was lackluster with cheddar, whey and butter all unchanged while powder saw a 2 cent loss at $1.1250/lb.
- Class IV futures were mixed but did see more trading volume than unusual at 174 contracts. The 2024 Class IV average was able to gain a penny to close at $20.36/cwt. The Class IV average still holds a $2.90 premium to its counterpart Class III.

Rise and shine, it’s nearly time to get to work. PC players have been farming with friends in Stardew Valleyfor a few months now, but the pastures are about to get bigger and greener. The Switch version should be getting cooperative multiplayer sometime soon(ish).
Today, developer Eric Barone announced that development on the Switch’s Stardew Valleymultiplayer update is finished. It’s currently in the QA/testing phase to work out the bugs and whatnot. Once all the kinks are worked out, it should be ready to release.
It’s far from concrete, but it’s progress and that’s a good sign. Switch players can rest assured that they’re the first console folks to get multiplayer. PS4 and Xbox One players can rest assured knowing they’re next in line after Switch eventually releases. Farming requires patience. If you’re looking for giant beanstalks to sprout up overnight, you’re in the wrong business.
