KUALA LUMPUR: Federal Land Consolidation and Rehabilitation Authority (Felcra) Bhd is confident of achieving RM2bil in revenue this year, said Rural and Regional Development Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
He said Felcra also expected an increase in dividend payments to its participants due to the organisation's good management skills and better palm oil prices.
“Felcra's core focus is still on the plantation and agriculture sectors, and last year, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak announced that Felcra has been tasked with establishing food security in the country, focusing on the farming industry such as meat and poultry farming,” he said during Felcra's Hari Raya open house at Wisma Felcra here yesterday.
Felcra chairman Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin said they had started outlining the food security blueprint, adding that the Sarawak government had also asked for the food security plan to be implemented in the state.
He said the rewards for implementation of the food security would be quite lucrative.
“We still do not have any figures as yet but we will need a total of 80,000ha throughout Malaysia to implement the food security plan,” he said, adding that food imports in Malaysia have been increasing every year, with a record of RM45.6 billion last year.
“We expect it to increase to RM47bil this year and we want to reduce 5% of this figure in a year,” he added. — Bernama

Related to a post from a few weeks ago on the media coverage of the impacts of quinoa commercialization on quinoa farmers (Is quinoa commercialization hurting Bolivian farmers?), the Andean Information Network has just published a memo on the nuances of these impacts and debunking some of the more outlandish claims about quinoa. See the excerpt below, and I absolutely encourage you to click on the link to read the entire piece.
Bolivian Quinoa Questions: Production and Food Security
In January and March 2011, several English-language press outlets ran stories on quinoa production in Bolivia. National Public Radio and the Associated Press reported on quinoa as a development project, hailing its benefits to farmers in the altiplano region of Bolivia. The New York Times article focused on quinoa’s rising popularity abroad making it less affordable for low income Bolivians. Both AP’s “Quinoa’s Popularity a Boon to Bolivians,”[i]and the Times’ “Quinoa’s Global Success Creates Quandary at Home” highlight the complex relationship between food security and economic development in Bolivia, although with differing perspectives.

Everyone invited to free afternoon event in Honokaa
U.S. Sen. Daniel K. Inouye will bring his entourage and several other politicians to Honokaa High School from 3-6 p.m. today to join North Hawaii residents in celebrating their community’s “Ag Country Roots.”
The event is paid for and authorized by the Democratic Party of Hawaii.
The community is invited to this free celebration that will spotlight many of the hard-working food producers of the region and include samplings of grilled grass-fed beef and a new sausage of Kahua mutton, Hamakua mushrooms and other foods grown or produced in Hamakua, Waimea and Kohala.
Informational exhibits also will feature in-school programs to grow the next generation of farmers and introduce the benefits of fresh, locally grown foods from farms and ranches in the region as well as backyard gardens.
The program also will acknowledge the 40-year contribution to Hawaii Island agriculture by Milton Yamasaki, who has managed the University of Hawaii College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources’s Mealani Research Station, which includes two sites in Waimea, one in Hamakua and two in Kona.
Yamasaki, who was born and raised in Waimea and graduated from Honokaa High School, formally retired from CTAHR’s Mealani Research Station Sept. 30.
Other VIP leaders at the gathering will include Congresswoman Mazie Hirono, gubernatorial candidate Neil Abercrombie, Lt. Gov. candidate Brian Schatz, Sen. Dwight Takamine and Rep. Mark Nakashima.

If you have a lawn, you may want to know about the Grass Edge Trimmer Metal Blade. This is because you know how important it is to keep the grass trimmed. But, if you don’t have the right tools, it can be a real pain. Also, read Best Weed Eater String For Thick Brush and Best Trimmer Line.
A metal blade grass edge trimmer is the perfect tool for the job. It’s easy to use and it will make quick work of any overgrown grass. In this blog post, we- Garden’s Say will go through the tool so that you can learn more about it;
Grass Edge Trimmer Metal Blade – Everything You Want To Know
If you’re looking for a quality grass edge trimmer, you can’t go wrong with a metal blade model. These trimmers are built to last and can handle even the toughest jobs. Whether you’re trimming your lawn or your garden, a metal blade trimmer will get the job done quickly and easily.
Best Brush Cutter Blade? Let’s find out! Stihl, Husqvarna, Echo, Oregon, Renegade & Forester
Can you put a blade on a string trimmer?
Most string trimmers come with a blade attachment option. You can usually find the blade attachment option in the trimmer’s head. To attach the blade, you will need to remove the string trimmer’s spool. Once the spool is removed, you can then attach the blade to the trimmer’s shaft.
Can I use a lawn trimmer for edging?
A lawn trimmer can be a great tool for edging your lawn. When using a lawn trimmer for edging, it is important to use the right type of trimmer line. The line should be made of a durable material that can withstand the wear and tear of edging.
The line should also be the correct thickness for your trimmer. If the line is too thick, it will not cut well and if it is too thin, it will break easily. When using a lawn trimmer for edging, it is important to go slowly and be careful not to damage the lawn.
The trimmer line can easily damage the lawn if it is not used correctly. It is also important to make sure that the trimmer line is always perpendicular to the edge of the lawn. This will ensure a clean, straight edge.
If you are not careful when using a lawn trimmer for edging, you can easily damage the lawn. If you damage the lawn, it can be difficult to repair. Therefore, it is important to be very careful when using a lawn trimmer for edging.
Which is better blade or string trimmer?
When it comes to choosing between a blade or string trimmer, there are a few things to consider. First, think about what kind of trimming you’ll be doing. If you’re only doing light work, like trimming around flower beds, then a string trimmer may be all you need.
However, if you’re doing heavier work, like trimming thick weeds or grass, then you may need a blade trimmer. Another thing to consider is the size of your lawn. If you have a large lawn, then a string trimmer may not be able to do the job as quickly as a blade trimmer.
But, if you have a small lawn, then a string trimmer may be just fine. Finally, think about the price. Blade trimmers are typically more expensive than string trimmers, but they can also last longer.
So, if you plan on doing a lot of trimming, then a bladed trimmer may be a good investment. In the end, it’s up to you to decide which is better for you – a blade or string trimmer. Consider what kind of trimming you’ll be doing, the size of your lawn, and your budget when making your decision.
Do grass trimmers have blades?
Yes, grass trimmers have blades. The blades are typically made of steel or another metal, and they are sharpened to help cut through grass and other vegetation. Some grass trimmers also have plastic blades, which can be effective for cutting through lighter vegetation.
Electric grass trimmer with metal blades
Are you looking for an electric grass trimmer that can make quick work of your lawn? If so, you may be wondering if a metal blade trimmer is the right choice for you. Metal blade trimmers are designed to handle tougher jobs, like cutting through thicker grass or weeds.
They can also be a good choice if you have a lot of ground to cover, as they can trim faster than trimmers with plastic blades. However, metal blades can also be more dangerous than plastic ones.
They can cause serious injuries if you’re not careful, so it’s important to read the instructions carefully and take all safety precautions before using them.
If you think a metal blade trimmer is the right choice for you, be sure to do your research and choose a model that’s right for your needs. With the right tool, you can make quick work of your lawn and get back to enjoying your summer.
If you’re looking for a great grass edge trimmer, you can’t go wrong with a metal blade model. These trimmers are incredibly sharp and can easily cut through thick grass and weeds. Plus, they’re very durable and will last for years.

I spent much of my childhood in New Mexico, and as a consequence, I cook with a lot of roasted chiles. I'll buy them at the supermarket and roast them myself when they are in season, and the rest of the year I'll use canned Hatch chiles, but this is my first year to grow them. I am simply amazed at how much more flavorful they are when they come straight from my backyard.
The weather seemed just right for harvesting and roasting the remainder of the poblano peppers this morning. I've been freezing them up in small cooking portions. They probably won't last for more than a few weeks, but it was worth the extra effort to grow them myself. Come some frosty winter evening, I'll be savoring some green chile stew and be reminded of autumn mornings.

So on the way down buzzing through Arkansas (my first time here) I began seeing bales of what I thought was hay bundled in the big round bales. A bit further down the road I notices white fuzz drifting across the road. I also noticed a field of white. Cotton! Hundreds of fields and even more bales. Some to be loaded on an 18 wheeler.
Often I say a silent thank you for the food on my table and the farmers who produce it. That night I also thanked them for the clothes on my back!

Twenty five weeks. 285 items. 130 different items. That is where we ended up this year with our Sandy Spring CSA. We had quite a few brand new discoveries this year. Good ones like cheese pumpkins. Not so good ones like cardoons. Which were woody.
Some interesting observations. We did not get asparagus at all. Strange, but never.
The most delivered item was collard greens, eight times. Followed by broccoli, bok choy and zucchini, seven times each. Like this week with collards, broccoli and a humongous bok choy.
A typical May delivery. Lots of variety. Large amounts. Beautiful organic veggies. Can’t beat what we get. We pay $740 for 25 weeks of veggies and some fruit. All organic. A real bargain. But, you have to like veggies. Which we do. I did some creative swapping this year and ended up with at least 8 deliverables of roma tomatoes, suitable for canning. Organic roma. Huge beautiful tomatoes that now live in my freezer to make winter dinners. All told roughly 35 pounds of romas.
The weirdest thing we got? The African horned melon. At least in my opinion. And, I didn’t find it that appealing. I now know in the future if it ever shows up, it is back into that swap box.
Coolest new thing we got? Edamame on the stalk. I loved boiling them in salted water and eating them like peanuts. They are so good that way. But, cleaning a stalk full of edamame is a little messy and time consuming.
All in all, definitely worth the money. I quit figuring out the savings when we were almost $200 ahead of what it cost to join. Next year we will be back. In fact, since I am doing Breezy Willow’s winter CSA, it overlaps for four weeks and we will be getting double deliveries for three weeks.
The fall CSA from Sandy Spring was supposed to start today, but Hurricane Sandy got in the way. No delivery. They are promising to make it up, and I bet they deliver like they promise. With 80 farmers spread across the Lancaster region, they will pool resources and find us good food to bring down on the trucks next week. Hope their losses were minimal, and recoverable. Thankfully this hurricane hit after summer CSA, which is way larger than the fall.
If you have a little sense of adventure, this CSA is a bargain, and trying new veggies is the challenge that keeps it interesting. After all, corn, tomatoes, green beans and onions get boring. We all need a little kohlrabi, turnips or rutabaga to fall into our baskets and make us think differently about what we eat. My roasted veggies included all three plus a sweet potato.

Help from the federal government for Wisconsin beekeepers who lost hives due to “brutal” weather
MADISON (AP) — Wisconsin beekeepers who sustained losses due to poor weather can get some help from the federal government.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency says the emergency assistance was reauthorized as part of the 2014 Farm Bill.
Wisconsin dropped out of the top 10 honey-producing states in 2014 after brutal fall and winter weather wiped out a significant number of hives. The assistance program will help beekeepers who experienced losses from October 1st, 2013 through September 30th, 2014.
The State Journal says Wisconsin honey production has dropped about 21 percent, placing the state 15th among honey-producing states.

Development of online information products and tools for agricultural weather and climate, using data from the Arizona Meteorological Network (AZMet) and providing the products and tools through its soon-to-be-released new website. ii. Organization and running of two 'Growing Season in Review' workshops for Arizona wine grape growers, one each in the north-central and southeastern growing regions, and taking place in late 2023 or early 2024 d. - Customized climate reporting for natural resource managers: Managers require timely and relevant weather and climate data to support ongoing decision making through rapidly changing conditions across the southwest U.S. An effort, initially supported by the USGS CASC and USDA USFS, to develop customized and automated climate reports that are directly emailed to managers started in 2022 on the Kaibab National Forest in Arizona. Managers have requested that reports be accompanied by a companion website that includes interactive maps and plots. Work will be done to produce a prototype, companion website to support the interpretation of Kaibab National Forest reports that can be replicated with other future reporting efforts at other management units.

Our farm is a very special piece of property situated along the Potomac River. Over millennia, it developed into a rich piece of farmland by the alluvial deposits as the water wound it's way around that curvy eastern thumb at the top of Virginia. Steven Cox, owner and farmer for over 50 years, knew he had found something special when he walked the fields at Lost Corner. During the ensuing years, he has gone to great lengths to carefully develop this hidden gem into a productive, sustainable fruit and vegetable farm.

Enjoy gardening again with this innovative cultivator from Black & Decker.

Powered by an 18-volt battery, this tool features tines that can get in between different plantings; other tines counter oscillate to keep weeds from wrapping around and slowing things down. There's also a telescoping shaft you can position to the ideal length--a feature that helps protect your back from strain caused by continually bending over. Finally, comfortable grips and an adjustable auxiliary handle mean you can work longer without over-taxing muscles and joints.

This cultivator works really well for tilling up soil in our raised garden beds and one battery allows for two and a half beds on a charge (4'x8' beds) with digging down into the soil or about 30-45 minutes of work. Note that this is called a CULTIVATOR and not a tiller. Having just did some tilling with a gas powered tiller in the concrete that passes for soil in OK, I can say this tool wouldn't have dented that hardpack, but, that isn't why we got it. Just for kicks, I tried this tool in the harder packed soil in the yard, and it didn't hold up, but for churning up our gardens, this was perfect. In damp soil, keep an eye on the tines, especially after the battery has drained a bit, as the soil can clump up in the middle of the tines.
If you need to bust up sod, don't get this tool; if you are maintaining a garden, this will be your friend... use the right tool for the right job!
After 3 straight weekends of use, the adjustable handled cracked (see picture in the item photos). I'm 6'0" tall so have the extendable handle all the way out and the handle about 6 inches from the end. Apparently, the cultivator head is too heavy for the poor handle.
Another annoyance is the extendable handle, no matter how tight you make it, eventually will start to slide back into the lower half of the handle. Then you have to unscrew it, extend the handle, tighten it again, and continue. I finally extended it all the way then wrapped duct tape around the handle where they meet (again, see pic). Now it can't slip back into the lower half but it's a shame it has to be done in the first place.
I still like my little cultivator, especially since I got it for free (used Amazon points) but now I have to send in the handle for a replacement. I just wish build quality was better.
This is PERFECT for small, home garden use(s)...whether you plant veggies or flowers in a nicely tilled bed. It works the soil about 6" down, further if you push it in...up to about 8"....does an excellent job of mixing in compost, fresh manure and mulch. Loosens good sized weeds for easy pulling too! There is a bit of weight to it, but well balanced and not unwieldy at all. Since my two back surgeries four years ago, I needed something to help me keep gardening without putting strain on my back. This great little tool fits my needs perfectly.
If you are a big hobby gardener I think this tool would be a great addition to your arsenal of outdoor tools. Would buy again if this one ever dies....has been used for about 150+ hours since purchase...with no problems. Love it.

Editor's note: We’ve gathered several experts to offer suggestions on trimming expenses in light of tighter margins in 2014. This is one of 10 money-saving tips.
It’s no secret that profit margins are getting tighter. After a year of struggling crop prices, USDA predicted last month that 2014 won’t be much better, with average prices for corn, soybeans and wheat dropping lower than in 2013.
In his annual Outlook for U.S. Agriculture, USDA Chief Economist Joe Glauber anticipates an average U.S. corn price of $3.90, down from the 2013 average of $4.50; an average soybean price of $9.65, down from $12.70; and an average wheat price of $5.30, down from $6.80.
You can’t control the market, but you can control your expenses. Knowing your cost of production not only allows you to trim costs, but also when to lock in profit opportunities—and therefore, weather a challenging year.
While this is hardly new advice, many producers still do not have a firm grasp of their total costs, says Danny Klinefelter, ag economist at Texas A&M University. It’s not enough just to know costs on a cash basis, which can give you an inaccurate picture of farm finances; it needs to be done on an accrual basis, he explains. "Probably only 2.5% of commercial farmers know their cost of production on an enterprise basis," he adds.
"It’s impossible to market and lock in a positive margin if you don’t precisely know your costs," says Mike Boehlje, ag economist at Purdue University. "When you see a profit opportunity, lock it in."
Likewise, it’s tough to know just how to go about trimming costs without precisely knowing what they are, he notes.
Account for Value
No one knows this better than Iowa farmer and AgWeb margins expert Chris Barron. He suggests that you not only need to know your costs, but also their value to your farm.
"Cash rents, equipment, seed and fertilizer are among the most costly individual line items. Collectively, these four items can easily make up 80% of your production costs," he says. "The challenge is to distinguish the difference between additional costs to your farm and understanding the value that comes back to your operation."
Accounting for value is also important when it comes to marketing.
"It’s critical to analyze and measure your expenses at a high enough level so that you don’t underestimate the price you need to cover all your expenses," Barron says.

Keep Your Production Costs in Check for 2014
With grain prices dropping, it’s time to get creative. There is no one-size-fits-all-farmers answer, but there are numerous ways to more closely align costs with returns. Here are the money-saving tips we've gathered.


Deputy minister for promotion of trade Abbas Askarzadeh told the IRIB that Iran has turned into a provider of food security for neighboring countries with the increased smuggling, especially illegal exports of wheat flour and cooking oil.
“Subsidizing such goods as cooking oil and wheat flour has led to abuse by some companies so that smuggling and distribution of low-priced cooking oil in one of the neighboring countries has triggered objections by the private sector producers of cooking oil,” Askarzadeh said.
His comments come amid objections to the government’s move to eliminate subsidies of basic goods such as wheat flour and sugar that has multiplied prices, amid punishing inflation rates.
“Consumption of wheat in the country is around 14.5 million tons [a year], and if there is no drought, 8 million tons are provided from domestic production and the rest is imported from Russia, Ukraine, Argentina, Brazil and Germany,” he said.
“Subsidizing wheat and its conversion into flour has given other countries access to such items without any effort and at a much lower price, which leads to foreign currencies exit from the country.”


I potted up some Mont Blanc lillies just over a week ago and could have sworn I had bought 2 packets of bulbs.
Well I did and I've just found them in the vegetable box.
Would it be alright to disturb the other ones that are already potted up as they were meant to be be all planted together or does anyone think they may have started to root ? I usually set lillie bulbs on their sides with a little grit under them as I have had problems with rot in the past.
Any advice, anyone ?

Q.Fid Tree. Aprox. How Long Between Sap Flow In Spring To Budding Leaves?
please. doing some Bible related research. once [a fig tree in israel] sap starts: is it days, weeks [or even simultaneous] before new leaves sprout?? thank you for your valuable time -richard
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
Fig trees have latex, a white sap, that is more prominent in under ripe stems. A ripe fig will not ooze sap when it is separated from the tree. By some reports, the fig is the last tree in spring to leaf out.

The official start of winter is approaching, the days gradually changing from autumn to the next season. Colder temperatures, shorter days, in a time when many prepare for celebrations of upcoming holidays. This year so much of that has changed, I suspect many may find it difficult to plan for festivities. This has been a year to gain a better understanding of uncertainty about our routines, work, school, shopping, social lives and our health. We’ve taken for granted a level of control over our lives that was suddenly yanked away by outside forces.
This very strange year is getting closer to its end. As part of the yearly cycle this time of year is associated with harvest, preparing for winter and holiday celebrations. The days are cooler, animals growing fatter as they prepare for the winter months while farmers bring crops in and prepare their fields for a time of rest.


At the heart of COLOMBIA, producer of the world’s best coffee is located the department of Quindio and there on the mountains located at 1550 meters above sea level is the farm LUSITANIA.
Its owner Claudia Milena Ortiz has dedicated efforts in growing Castillo variety. Their clean and carefully way of cultivation is complemented with a traditional benefit, so the coffee from this beautiful farm in the town of Calarca, develop special characteristics in each cup, offering a different profile:
Fragrances to bitter chocolate and vanilla, prepare our senses for aromas of sugar cane juice and brown sugar. Medium body and medium-high acidity are complemented with taste of chocolate and vanilla; the palate is left with a delicious chocolate aftertaste.


Submitted at CanadianTire.ca:
“This spring, I purchased a "Moroccan Double Hook" (Product #59-0386-4) from a Canadian Tire store. It is complete garbage! Under the weight of two average-sized plant pots (one on each hook), after a couple of days of rain, the flimsy metal tube bent 90 degrees and smashed the flower pots down to the ground, crushing a nearby vegetable bed.
I'd like a refund of the almost $25 I paid for this thing so I can buy a real shepherd's hook that will actually support the weight of two plants. This hook looks good, but is made of flimsy metal that will not last an average season.

Up for auction fig tree own roots variety Cardenillo. This is a fabulous Spanish variety. Appears to be somewhat cold hardy as the graft we succeeded did not die back this past winter season. Has a pleasantly sweet flavor and appears to have an abundance of figs on the tree this year. Fruit ripens mid season. This is a top 10 for me and a must have. Does well with grafting and rooting. The tree in the photos is the actual tree being listed. It is well rooted and acclimated to the sun. Please feel free to ask questions. Buyers are responsible for knowing their state laws for import.

Gold demand slips as crops fail to earn
Commodity Summary MCX
Lower demand has also resulted in gold being sold at a $4-5 discount in the wholesale market with bullion dealers offloading their stocks. “Rural demand is particularly muted in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal and Bihar,” said Nitin Khandelwal, chairman of the All India Gems & Jewellery Federation. “Farmers are yet to get good prices for their produce.”
Khandelwal also cited recent floods, which he said destroyed crops ready for harvest and hurt the purchasing power of the rural community. “There is a discount on gold now,” he added.
Soyabean futures, which fell almost 10% in September and October, are still trading under pressure. Ritesh Kumar Sahu, research analyst for agri-commodities at Angel Commodities Broking, said: “In November, though the prices have improved, it is still trading lower than the minimum support price as soyabean arrivals have increased.”
Mustard futures have dropped to a two-and-half-year low in the second half of 2017. Prices are under pressure and are showing volatile trends due to higher production last year as well as stock limits on oilseeds in some states that have resulted in record stocks with farmers. According to trade sources, the country is still holding about 20 lakh tonnes of mustard from last year.
Millers estimated to have crushed about 48 lakh tonnes last year against a marketable surplus of 67.8 lakh tonnes.
Guar complex (seed and gum) futures ended lower for the second consecutive month in October due to new season arrivals. Prices may go up in the coming weeks as production was less and export demand is picking up, Sahu said.
Turmeric futures have slumped by about 6.2% due to lower demand and expectation of higher production in the next season. Higher availability of stocks due to government auction, too, pressurises prices. Castor seed futures have traded under pressure in October despite reports of lower acreage, crop damage and good export figures for castor seed derivatives. Analysts, however, expect agri-commodity prices to firm up from December. Meanwhile, the impact on farm income is felt in the jewellery sector. Farmers traditionally are the major consumers of gold and their purchase behaviour is influenced by farm output and commodity prices.
