Listed West to East
Cindy Elrod at Peri and Sons in Yerington, NV, said harvest in the Central Valley will wrap up in late August, and packing will finish in September.
The Prosser onion deal for Utah Onions is going well, according to CEO Bob Meek. Bob told OnionBusiness.com on Aug. 16, “Harvest is well underway now, and we’re shipping reds, whites, yellows and sweets – everything but organics.” He said the region has experienced “interesting weather, with heat early on and then some cool days.” Harvest is going on at night, and Bob said it will continue at a steady pace. “It is an average crop with a good range of sizing,” he said, noting the onions are running heavy to mediums. “So far we are right on track,” he said, adding that organics will start next week. The Washington onions will ship into May.
Stefan Matheny at River Point Farms in Hermiston, OR, said the company’s Washington deal is seeing overall demand at light to moderate this week, with pricing $7 on jumbo yellows and reds and $6 on mediums reds. Stefan noted, “Demand is up on colossal yellows and medium reds. Quality continues to be very good, and the sizing is up on the onions coming in.”
Kimi Fitch of Jamieson Produce, a year round onion shipper in Vale, OR, reported that that company’s transplants started on July 20, and Jamieson started shipping its seeded crop this last week. Kimi also said demand has been consistent, and the company is shipping reds and yellows in all colors and sizes right now. On quality, Kimi said, “So far, so good. We have been fortunate that Mother Nature has been pretty good to us this year.”
Steve Baker at Baker Packing in Ontario, OR, reported market pricing for IEO onions on Aug. 17 was at $7-$8 fob for jumbo yellows, $6 fob for medium yellows, $9 for colossal yellows and $10-$12 for super colossals. Jumbo whites were at $12; medium whites at $9-$10; 25# jumbo reds $9; and 25# medium reds $7. “Demand has been fairly light the first part of the week,” Steve said. “We’re expecting demand to pick up with California and New Mexico winding down.”
L&M Cos. started harvest and shipping out of Colorado’s Arkansas Valley in early August with onions from the Rocky Ford area. On Aug. 16 onions from Pueblo started, according to Don Mameda. Don said yellows and whites started the deal, and reds will begin the third week of August. Sizing is heavy to mediums, and he said, “Overall the onions look very good.” Some losses were seen to hail earlier in the growing season, but Don said the deal is on track. Pack-outs are in cartons and RPC as well as 2-50# mesh bags. The Colorado onions will ship from the Rocky Ford warehouse through mid- to late January, he said.
Utah Onions’ home state deal has started, with yellows coming in to the Syracuse operation now. Bob Meek said, “We’ve had a hot summer, and we won’t have record yields here in Utah. Some onions have sized, and some haven’t – so we’re not ahead of the game here.” The shed is shipping yellows now and will start reds and the lighter volume of whites next week. All onions in the Utah deal are conventionally grown and will ship through late April-early May, Bob said.
Jon Meyer with Ohio-headquartered Market Brothers is heading up MB’s Michigan office now and reported on Aug. 17 that the company started shipping Michigan onions approximately two weeks ago. The crop is looking great, he said, adding, “This is the best quality we seen in years.” The size profile is heavy on larger sizes, and Jon noted that one of Market Brothers’ growers in east-central Michigan near Stockbridge has some awesome jumbo yellows coming out of the fields. Jon also said demand is steady, and though the market is a little off, it is very normal for this time of year.
Rick Minkus, owner of Minkus Family Farms in New Hampton, NY, told us that operation has begun shipping transplants, and the quality is excellent. Rick said, “Though most of New York was fairly dry this summer, Orange County has fared pretty well. The area received good rains two weeks ago, and more welcomed rain came this week.” So far, Minkus has harvested 35 acres, and Rick said there has been absolutely no waste. Minkus is shipping reds and yellows with some larger sizes, but he indicated the company has a good amount of mediums available. Demand has been a little light, but Rick said it’s normal with more areas coming on. He expects demand to pick up in the next several days and into next week.

As with all coffees that Monmouth sell, they are almost literally on a first name basis with the bean suppliers. The Finca Las Fajas bean is grown by the Chacón Solano family in Caturra and Catucaí, in Costa Rica’s Central Valley.
It’s most distinguished characteristics are its rum and raisin flavoring, with a medium acidity and heavy body.
Have you tried it? What do you think are its good and bad points? What would you recommend as a good coffee? We want to know! Post your comments here, or on our twitter feed at http://twitter.com/#!/coffeecakekink!


Never mind that my soil solarization project was not quite as successful as I had hoped, or that there was only one year I had grown more than a handful of vegetables in it. My crap garden is now in a book. Yes, you read that right, it can now be admired on page 212 of The Gardener's Guide to Common-Sense Pest Control.
The photo is shown in the image below. Actually, the low veggie yield of my garden plot is more attributable to my inattentiveness than anything else—I simply haven’t made the time to do anything with it considering how many other things I’ve had going on—but maybe next year I will actually grow something in there again. I mean, other than weeds.
But now that it has actually been photographed and published, maybe I should stop referring to it as “my crap garden.” Model garden is more like it. Models, after all, are photogenic even if they otherwise aren’t very productive.


The province of Cabo Delgado has lagged behind the rest of Mozambique and remains the country’s poorest province, heavily reliant on agriculture which is vulnerable to climatic changes and food price fluctuations. The Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) began operations in Cabo Delgado in 2002, in response to a request from the Government of Mozambique. AKF’s rural development projects focus on reducing dependency on agriculture and promoting enterprise such as handicrafts. More at AKDN.

Mountain leafhopper (Colladonus montanus)
Cherry leafhopper (Fiebriella florii)
Pest description and crop damage Leafhoppers are slender, delicate insects about 0.125 inch or less in length. They are distinguishable due to the habit of the adult hopping or flying to escape danger, and by the ability of nymphs and adults to run forwards, backwards, or sideways easily. Several species of leafhoppers are found in cherry orchards, which vary in coloration from green to brown. Leafhoppers suck juices from the leaves of cherries, ornamental plants and weeds. Certain species of leafhoppers are considered serious pests because they can transmit the phytoplasma that causes Western cherry X-disease from infected cherry trees, or various weed species, to healthy cherry trees. Infected trees may produce small misshapen bitter fruit. There is no cure for X-disease and infected trees should be removed to prevent spread.
Biology and life history Varies with the species. Leafhoppers may overwinter as adults, nymphs, or eggs. There may be multiple generations per year. The leafhopper population within the orchard appears to peak after harvest, coincidently this is also when the X disease phytoplasma concentration is greatest within infected trees.
Pest monitoring Place yellow sticky card traps in the cherry canopy during the growing season. Leafhoppers may be present from February through November in some areas. The action threshold remains unknown.
Control weeds and alternative hosts such as, clovers, mallow, dandelion, curly dock, bitter cherry, and chokecherry, in and around your orchard.

I’m really excited about how well Green Sapote (Pouteria viridis) has performed through winter here in zone 9b California and I want to encourage more people to try growing it here. This fruit is a relative of Mamey Sapote from the cool subtropical highlands that has what it takes to survive in many parts of the Bay Area. My experience is this plant can tolerate light frost and 30°F easily, and if mature can take some damage but survive the high 20s. That makes it worth trying in my opinion.
I know of two examples of Green Sapotes producing fruit in northern California - most famously Tom Addison’s tree in El Cerrito which he says fruits every year. The other tree is in Vallejo and has set fruit but has not ripened them yet.
I have one Green Sapote in the ground - it’s about 6’ tall and is a seedling.
What’s most impressive about this plant is that it began pushing new growth in December and kept going all winter without the tender new leaves being damaged by frost.
I also have 4 other plants in pots which are grafted to Mamey Sapote rootstocks - these plants were also unfazed by winter. They are not growing vegetatively like the seedling but they have flower buds emerging. I am concerned that the Mamey rootstock will make the trees more vulnerable to cold, but so far it hasn’t been an issue.
I had the rare opportunity to taste Green Sapote in Hawaii a few weeks ago. I was told that it would taste similar to Mamey but better. In my opinion, it tasted exactly like Mamey and not any better. That’s not a knock against it - Mamey is a delicious fruit.
Finding Green Sapote trees to buy is not easy but they can be had. Plantogram and TopTropicals online nurseries have them occasionally. I’ve also seen seedlings on eBay. They’ve yet to show up in any nursery up north but I have seen them for sale in LA - these are usually going to be sourced from Florida and therefore also grafted to Mamey.

Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan for talks Friday including on a deal reached to unblock exports of grain from Ukraine, the Kremlin said.
The meeting in Russia’s Black Sea resort of Sochi will be “a good opportunity to synchronize watches on the subject of the effectiveness of this mechanism for exporting grain from Ukrainian ports,” Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, told reporters Tuesday on a conference call. The two leaders will discuss Ukraine and also the situation in Syria, he said.
The talks come after the first ship carrying legal grain exports from Ukraine since Russia’s Feb. 24 invasion set sail from Odesa on Monday under a deal brokered by Turkey and the United Nations to help boost global food supplies.
Ukraine said it plans to cautiously ramp up exports, with no more than three vessels a day in each direction over the first two weeks through new safe-passage corridors established under the July 22 agreement.
If successful, exports could increase to as much as three million tons per month in four to six weeks’ time, Ukrainian Infrastructure Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov told Bloomberg TV on Monday.

Applications are now open for the DigitalAg4Her Hackathon taking place online from May 27 till June 5, 2021.
20 teams selected, 3 challenge tracks, 10 days of hacking, 3 winning solutions, $4000 in-kind grant, 2-month incubation in Berytech
The first edition of the DigitalAg4Her Hackathon is organized by Berytech, in collaboration with the World Bank Group’s Mashreq Gender Facility and Agriculture and Food Global Practice. Its aim is to crowdsource and support innovative ICT-based solutions, tailored to enhance women’s productivity in the agri-food sector in Lebanon.
Through the online hackathon, teams will discover real challenges facing the agri-food sector in the region, learn how to transform their idea into a valid business solution through intensive online workshops, prototype their solution, and then pitch it to a panel of judges.
Three winners will win an in-kind grant of $4,000 (advisory services, technical assistance, etc.) as well as 2-month incubation from Berytech who will support the winners with further technical and business assistance.
10-Day Online Event
Held online and continuing over ten days, the hackathon is an exciting opportunity for teams to develop their prototypes and agri-food solutions using technologies such as Internet of Things, Big Data and Artificial Intelligence, allowing professionals and experts from different backgrounds to learn, experiment and build agri-food solutions that can lead them into creating their own startup.
Targeting Women Innovators
The program is open for young individuals interested in solving challenges in the agri-food sector focusing mainly on undergraduates, graduates in business, engineering, agriculture, agronomy, food sciences, computer sciences, and telecommunications.
Teams will have to be composed of at least two members, with a woman leading the project. Existing ideas will be taken into consideration as long as the project is still at its early stage: idea, idea under development or prototype.
Berytech and The World Bank Group have been working with experts as well as the public and private sectors to identify a list of challenges within the agri-food value chain. These challenges could inspire participants to innovate in the sector.
Three challenges were identified:
- Improved access to finance and productive assets: How can digital technologies facilitate access to finance and productive assets?
- Market Linkages: How can digital technologies promote market linkages?
- Capacity building and risk management: How can digital technologies reduce inequality by facilitating access to information?
How It Works
Participants are encouraged to apply if they are young professionals or students under 35 with the desire to bring transformational change in the agri-food sector and empower women. Ideal candidates are agrifood experts, environmentalists, engineers, scientists, makers, agronomists, innovators, entrepreneurs or young professionals interested in finding a digital solution to the agri-food sector.
Participants can apply with their own idea as long as their solution includes an innovative process, product or service with the capacity to enhance women’s productivity in the agri-food sector in Lebanon, by solving one of the pre-set challenges.
The team should be composed of at least two people, preferably with different backgrounds, led by a woman. The online hackathon is open for teams residing in Lebanon only.
The 10-day hackathon will be run in four phases. During Phase I, participants will get all the information needed regarding the process of the hackathon, discover real challenges facing the agri-food sector, receive the guidance needed to identify the main problem and sketch different solutions, and will have the chance to validate your assumptions to better understand your customer.
In Phase II, participants will have time to go on the field to validate their idea, in Phase III they will receive all the information needed to turn their idea into a valid business solution and build their prototype. In Phase IV, judges will select the three top winners.
The DigitalAg4Her Hackathon is organized by Berytech, in collaboration with the World Bank Group’s Mashreq Gender Facility and Agriculture and Food Global Practice, in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture in Lebanon and with the technical support of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in Lebanon (FAO).

Exactly two months have passed since the garden was planted and things are certainly blooming under hot, sunny, and watery conditions. The corn is as high as an elephant’s eye and the teepee is producing zucchini, beans, peas and shade. The squash, peppers, corn,tomatoes and other stuff are coming soon.
I always have trouble remembering that if you plant something it grows. I do know the plant needs water and sunshine. I know because I have often had what I affectionately referred to as “the curse of the black thumb”. Fortunately I know how to care for dogs.
Speaking of dogs, and our society’s “want it now” attitude, I use my own burgeoning knowledge that yes, plants do grow (as evidenced by pictures taken over time) and apply it to measuring change in my dogs’ or client’s dogs’ ability to learn, over time and with practice, improved behaviors.
If you create a goal, figure out the way to achieve the steps towards that goal, and factor in the time element, you can come up with new things to teach your dog for fun (i.e.,dancing) and function (i.e.,coming when called).

Warm weather drives Belgian wine production skyward
The lack of rain and soaring temperatures were problematic for many Flemish farmers last year, but winegrowers saw a boom in production
Two million litres
Belgium’s 134 vineyards bottled a total of two million litres of wine last year compared to one million the year before. “It was a remarkably good harvest,” said federal economy minister Kris Peeters. “The wine industry is dependent on the quality of the grapes and the climate in which they grow.”
A small majority of the volume of wine comes from Wallonia, while Flanders counts a slightly larger number of vineyards. Most Belgian wines – some 80% – are white and sparkling varieties. The other 20% include both red and rose.
Some vineyards in Limburg fall under the EU’s Protected Designation of Origin label, ensuring quality production in the region indicated. “That has a positive effect on wine production,” said Peeters.
Anyone looking for a good Belgian wine can start with the website Popsss, which features wines from Belgium and from other vineyards in the world run by Belgians.

Winter wheat (CWRW) prices were up by $2 to $4 from the previous week, with average values ranging from $164 to $176 per tonne across Western Canada.
Average durum (CWAD) prices were steady to a bit firmer, with spot bids in southern Saskatchewan, where the bulk of the crop is grown, unchanged at roughly $353 per tonne.
The March spring wheat contract in Minneapolis, off of which most CWRS contracts in Canada are based, was quoted Friday at US$6.2075 per bushel, down 2.25 cents from the previous week.
Kansas City hard red winter wheat futures, traded in Chicago, are more closely linked to CPSR in Canada. The March Kansas City wheat contract was quoted at US$6.3425 per bushel on Friday, down five cents from the week prior.
The March Chicago Board of Trade soft wheat contract settled Friday at US$6.065, up 12.5 cents from the previous week.

Since hot, dry summers are your forte as gardeners, your psyches will be infinitely less stressed than some. Not so your plants, however; the complete absence of fall and winter rain in, say, Scotsdale, Ariz., now means almost no residual soil moisture. Here it is only May, and already even the toughest of native plants are looking a bit shriveled!
For you Inner Mountain West gardeners, the word from that undaunted Colorado gardener, Lauren Springer, is this: Keep your mature trees watered and let the lawn go. Lauren even cautions against doing any spring planting, suggesting, instead, to wait till July, when El Niņo just might bring rain.
Hot Tip You know all those adapted desert plants you normally don't water? Get to work, 'cause they need your help. Give your big sajuaros, ocotillos and other key landscape plants a really big soak. That'll get them through the summer just fine.
Talking Plants for the Southwest Here's a couple of survivors hand-picked by the DoD and desert landscape expert Mary Irish, author of Agaves, Yuccas and Related Plants: A Gardener's Guide (Timber Press). Each plant can go in the ground today, use very little supplemental water after planting, and provide you with high performance all summer:
Yellow Bells (Pecoma stans)
Red Bird of Paradise (Caesalpinia pulcherrima)
Oleander (Nerium oleander)
Blue Hesper Palm (Brahea armata)

A fundraiser last night for State Representative Tom Jeneary included a special guest – Iowa Agriculture Secretary Mike Naig.
Rep Jeneary spoke of the need for people to vote in large numbers in this election, even though he has no opponent in November.
Ag Secretary Naig, among other things, defended the state’s voluntary Nutrient Reduction Program, which he says is controlling erosion, and making progress on improving water quality. He says the ten-year-old program is ready to expand beyond the demonstration stage to greater implementation statewide.

HONOLULU -- Guacamole connoisseurs around the U.S. soon will have a new domestic avocado to try -- not from California or Florida, but Hawaii.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is changing its rules for Hawaii growers to allow them to ship Sharwil avocados to 32 mainland U.S. states and the District of Columbia between November and March.
According to a USDA rule published in the Federal Register on Thursday, the shipments will help give shoppers an option to buy domestic avocados during winter months, when most grocery stores stock avocados from Mexico instead.
Growers mostly on the Big Island and Maui produce roughly 1 million pounds of the fruit each year, but until now they have only been able to sell within the state, said Tom Benton, president of the Hawaii Avocado Association.
Farmers sell 1 million pounds of avocados -- about $700,000 worth -- to stores and restaurants, said Benton, who runs a coffee and avocado farm on the Big Island that produces about 25,000 pounds of avocados per year.
"It has the potential of becoming a very strong part of Hawaii agriculture," Benton said. "I feel we could easily be on par with coffee or macadamia nuts or any other section of Hawaii agriculture."
Sharwil avocados are different from the Haas variety popular in many grocery stores. Sharwil avocados are larger, often rounder, and still hard to the touch when they're ripe.
But fans of the fruit in Hawaii tout them as superior to Haas in taste.
"We're more worried about supply than having the demand," Benton said.
The move was praised Wednesday by U.S. Sen. Mazie Hirono, who said Hawaii's federal lawmakers have been pushing for the rule change since 1992.


The wicking bed is one of our premiere products at Urban Sustainable Living. A centuries old concept that has been under utilised throughout time, especially in the harsh Adelaide summers that we experience here. The wicking bed uses the process of wicking to draw water up from a reservoir in the bottom of the garden bed, rather than top down manual watering.
Through a series of layers within the garden bed, we create a completely sustainable, self contained watering system, that waters itself! Yes you did read correctly, it waters itself!!! The benefits of the wicking bed are huge.
- No more watering your vegetable patch!
- The plants draw up the exact amount of water they actually need. This prevents vegetables splitting or under developing due to too much or too little watering.
- Prevents erratic and irregular watering, that damage or hamper the growth of vegetables and fruits
- Your plants and vegetables will not die when you go for a 3 week holiday at christmas.
- Due to the layers required in the system, the Wicking bed is raised, which means no more bending over to tend to a low set garden bed.
- The raised garden bed prevents strain from bending over to tend a low set garden bed
- The wicking bed is an amazing looking feature in the backyad will have all visitors talking.
- The wicking bed uses a fraction of the water required by top down watering and the resevoir will provide enough water for 1 – 2 months.
- Did I mention no more watering!
We custom make our wicking beds to fit in with the exact needs of the customer. Our leading Wicking bed is made from sustainable pine or hardwood sleepers, but we also can make them in traditional hard wood or other materials. We can do many different designs, for not only gardens but
courtyards and even decks. We can even put them on wheels just in case you need to move the bed in the future.
We do a complete ready to plant wicking bed service, we do not leave you with a kit for you to do all the hard work and for you to chase down the required heavy materials around town. We build them on site, create the wicking bed and fill them, completely ready for you to start planting.
We can also provide additional features if required, for example shade cloth protection or adding Mirbeau trim to really give the bed that complete look. We also offer a complete plant out service, so the wicking bed is literally “ready to grow”. Call for a quote when ready to start wicking!
We can custom make our wicking beds to whatever the customer requires, but below are some of our standard pine sleeper wicking bed prices. These prices include all labour and materials required for the finished wicking bed. The only thing we don’t provide is the top layer of mulch which can be provided at a small additional cost depending on the customer needs.
2.4m x 0.8m x 0.6m Standard Pine Sleeper wicking bed from $780 inc GST, Fully installed.
2.4m x 1.2m x 0.6m Standard Pine Sleeper wicking bed from $830 inc GST, Fully Installed.
We also offer great discounts for more than one wicking bed purchased, which gets better with the more you order. So feel free to contact us for further pricing.

Hours and hours of daylight, the weather getting warmer by the minute. There's so much to do out there...
Don't just stand by your beds, get cracking. It's time to sow, sow, sow on the flower front and in most cases you don't need to do so in seed trays for planting out later.
Sow your favourites where they are to flower - there are thousands to choose from and make sure you thin out ruthlessly in coming weeks. You'll feel like a murderer, but discarding the weaklings will mean that the remainder will be that much healthier.
Get those borders looking nice and tidy, ridding rhododendrons and azaleas of unsightly flowers as soon as they die off. Let the foliage of spring flowering bulbs expire by itself, though, or you'll affect their food supply and get poor results next year.
Container-grown plants, especially shrubs and roses, can go in any time you like, but preferably when it's cool and damp. And although they're quite tough, always dig a generously big hole, give them loads of compost and water them every day for a week or so.
Leggy flowers, like lupins and dahlias, will need staking at the time of planting.
Don't neglect the patio. You'll spend more time there than anywhere else.
Hanging baskets need most attention. Never let them dry out, and dead-head at every opportunity.
Train climbers to go in your choice of direction, not theirs. Clematis, sweet peas and honeysuckle are the most headstrong.
Watch for slugs in pots, particularly those containing hostas, fuchsias and herbs.
It's a vital time for home-grown foodies.
Step up succession sowing of salad crops to make sure you've got armfuls of goodies come summer.
Get outdoor tomatoes, peppers, courgettes and cucumbers in the ground as soon as it's warm enough.
Earth up potatoes so tubers don't go green.
Sow runner bean and French bean seeds at the base of supports.
Plant out tray-grown leeks when they're pencil-sized.
It's the focal point, remember - so give it your full attention.
Blades should by now be on medium settings and grass will need cutting every 10-14 days, depending on rainfall.
There's still time to sort out small tatty bits by re-seeding or turfing, if the area is large.
Dig out the most problematic of weeds (that'll be buttercups, daisies and plantains) rather than use weedkiller.


OGiesel is a sativa dominant strain that is based on the genetics of Giesel and SFV OG Kush.
The plant demonstrates indica characteristics during the growth. You will get the best results during indoor cultivation. The flowering time takes only 8-9 weeks and a good harvest will make you happy. The plant is sensitive to appearance of the mold.
The smoke brings euphoria and makes you happy. It also provides a soft body relaxation. OGiesel is an excellent choice for day smoking.


Seymour Structron 14 inch drain Spade with 48 inch fiberglass handle and cushion grip. 14 gauge spring steel #2 head, rear rolled step. Whether you're Digging a Trench, working in a tight space or transplanting shrubs, the slightly cupped blade is effective in penetrating the ground and moving soil with minimum effort. Legacy part number: STR-S704.

The beds now have their water lines. Built one on Friday, three of them together Saturday and finished the 5th Sunday. They don't have the holes drilled yet which is O.K. as I really have no idea where they need to be yet. Ran out of glue Sunday, so had to wait until this morning to start hooking up them up to the water supply. Tomorrow's plan , finish hooking up the water lines, start drilling holes, start putting wood chips in the pathways and if possible,start planting lettuce, spinach and other cold weather veggies. Brr, 28F forecast for tonight, but still in the high 50s for tomorrow.


WASHINGTON, DC -- U.S. 2016/17 all rice production is forecast at 231 million cwt, up 38.7 million cwt from the previous year and the largest since 2010/11. The increase reflects larger area and a higher yield. Long grain harvested area is forecast at 2.4 million acres, up 32 percent from the previous year and the largest in six years. Combined medium- and short-grain harvested area is forecast at 60,000 acres, down 17 percent from 2015/16 due to a sharp reduction in southern medium-grain planted area. The yield increase for both classes of rice reflects a return to trend. Total U.S. 2016/17 all rice supplies are forecast to increase 13 percent from the previous year. Long grain supplies are up, while medium- and short-grain
supplies are down.
U.S. 2016/17 total use is projected at 248 million cwt, up 12 percent from the previous year with both domestic and residual use and exports projected higher. Long-grain exports for 2016/17 are forecast at 81 million cwt, up 12 million from the previous year and the largest in more than a decade. Combined medium- and short-grain exports are forecast at 32 million cwt, up 1 million cwt from 2015/16. Despite increased domestic use and exports, 2016/17 all rice ending stocks are forecast to rise 7 million cwt to 50.4 million. Long-grain stocks are forecast at 38.0 million cwt, up 15.5 million cwt from the previous year and the largest since 1985/86. Combined medium- and short-grain ending stocks are forecast down 8.5 million cwt to 10.5 million. The 2016/17 all rice season-average price is forecast at $11.30 to $12.30 per cwt; down $0.60 at the midpoint the previous year.
Global 2016/17 rice production is forecast at a record 480.7 million tons and total supply at 587.1 million tons, up 2.3 million from the previous year. Total global rice consumption is forecast at 480.5 million tons, up 2.1 million tons from the previous year’s revised level and a record. Reductions in historical domestic use estimates are made for several countries, most importantly for China and Thailand, that led to lower global domestic use and increased ending stocks. World exports are forecast at 40.7 million tons, down 700,000 tons from 2015/16 and the second consecutive decline. Thailand and India show the largest year-over-year export reductions. Global ending stocks of 106.7 million tons are up fractionally from 2015/16.

Grain markets finished mixed today as the trade is continuing to digest the news from USDA’s crop report.
Grain Market News
U.S. Corn Monthly Ending Stocks
This year which began September 1st, ending stocks declined from 1.388 a month ago down to 1.219. 169-million-bushel reduction in ending stocks.
Our stocks overall are somewhat similar to where they were last year at this time.
U.S. Corn Ending Stocks
USDA’s projection at 1.219 would be the lowest going back to the post drought area from 2012-2014.
Clearly U.S. stocks are projected to be quite tight headed into next years growing season.
Last yar the market pulled back in September, in fact moved down to $4.97 while this year overnight last night we traded close to $7.
2 years ago, prices in September were down around 3.50-3.75 and rallied up to 4.25 in the November-December timeframe.
U.S. Soybeans Monthly Ending Stocks
Soybeans dropped from 245 last month to 200 million bushels this month.
They aren’t as tight as they were projected to be, but we are still down near the lower end of the range.
U.S. Soybean Ending Stock
A year ago, we had stocks projected at 120 they ended up at 257. Our stocks at 200 would be the tightest stock going back to the 2016 timeframe.
The market is factoring in some very bullish news and prices may not be record but they are very high at the $15 range.
U.S. Wheat Monthly Ending Stocks
Stocks at 610 are very tight from a historical perspective, we may not be as tight as we were projected to be last year in the October November timeframe, but 610 is still very tight.
U.S. Wheat Ending Stocks
610 is relatively tight, the tightest we’ve been since 2014 and there is not a lot of room for error in the US wheat supply and demand.
KC December Wheat
We are currently trading at 9.30 per bushel, a year ago we were trading around $7 per bushel and 2 years ago we were trading around $5.
U.S. Grain Stocks
Corn, soybeans, and wheat added together and when we look at those numbers over the last 20 years, we can see this year’s combined stocks is just over 2 billion bushels.
This will be the tightest going back to the post drought timeframe in 2012-2014.
Grain Market News
December Corn Chart
Corn prices have rallied up to a $7 target.
We are right up against the $7 level and right up against the down trend line.
The technical indicators are overbought and todays slightly lower close did start to turn those technical indicators a little bit.
Initial chart support on a pullback would likely comeback into the 6.50-6.55 range.
November Soybean Chart
Soybean prices exploded to the upside on bullish news from USDA yesterday and we saw follow through to the upside this morning.
Taking prices to 15.08 and nearly matching the spike highs from early July.
Unfortunately, prices did pull back and we closed lower on the day at 14.78, so we did close 30 cents off the daily high.
A combination of harvest pressure and lower outside markets could give us a harvest break with chart support likely coming into play in the 14.10-14.25 range.
December KC Wheat Chart
Wheat continues to show evidence of a U shape bottom and we still believe prices can work towards the $10 level as we move towards the fall months.
It doesn’t have to happen all at once and this market could pull back toward chart support in the 8.85-9.00 range.
If corn and soybeans have a harvest pullback it will be difficult for wheat to rally on its own.

You should be able to do a light shaping pruning. If they are growing very actively now, do a very light shaping pruning. It is easy to prune them too much and lose most of a bloom cycle. In your area you should be okay.

Got some great sod for a reasonable price.
The sod was delivered on time and in full and looked great. Over all, this place was the most competitive for prices and I never had an issue while speaking with them and placing my order.
Great, fast service and quality sod. Nice people and easy to work with. Nice to do business locally.
Sod was delivered on time. Good quality, fresh & green. Cut the same morning it was delivered. Everything went great. And good prices too.
Great customer service and we got a great product. They cut the sod the night before we picked it up; two weeks after laying it we have a healthy green lawn.
We ordered the Earthwise sod for our front lawn and couldn't be happier. Everyone at Korby was helpful and very nice (Thanks Kyle), even the delivery driver!
Korby Sod was amazing to work with. The staff was really informative, nice and patient as I had a lot of questions. They delivered our sod on time and the quality was perfect. I would recommend them to anyone that is looking for quality service and a good quality product.


2021 Update Doc’s Best new pick.
Click to see the new top pick.
In this video Doc reviews several lawn spreaders at different price points and quality levels.
The Scotts Mini
← Click for pricing – about $35
The mini is an “OK” unit for very small yards and light loads of fertilizer. This VERY small lawn spreader is pretty cheap but gets the job done. Any yard over 5000 sq ft needs to step up larger for sure.
The Scotts Standard – (They call deluxe, we don’t)
← Click for pricing – about $60
The standard size Scotts lawn spreader with edge guard. Decent spreader, gets the job done for the money.
The Scotts Elite
The Elite lawn spreader is the one Doc has used a lot this past year with good results. For $99 you’ll be happy with the performance on larger lots and heavier loads. DO NOT over load the spreader. It can handle about 40 pounds even though they say higher.
The Agri Fab Large Spreader (Doc’s Top Pick)
For the money…. you’ll never want any MORE lawn spreader. We tested to over 100 pounds of material and it handled nicely. Huge hopper, painted metal frame, air filled 12″ tires. We have done 3 lawns with this unit and ZERO complaints. Doc will be using this spreader all year for various treatments.
Doc’s Top Pick for VALUE
The LCO 1000 Commercial Grade Spreader
In the jungle the LION is the king. On the turf… the LCO 1000 is the king.
Nothing else really compares to quality of the build and smooth ride over ALL terrain.
A truly amazing spreader that many golf courses and professionals use.


Mountfield 1538M-SD, The Mountfield 1538M-SD offers the perfect solution for those of you who do not wish to collect your grass clippings. In tall growth conditions the side discharge mode neatly cuts and spreads the grass so it can be left to wilt naturally. For areas that are being mown on a more regular basis the mulching function cuts and re-cuts the grass into small particles that disappear into the turf, returning valuable nutrients to the soil. Powered by a 14.5hp single cylinder Mountfield engine the 1538M SD has a manual transmission with 5 forward and a reverse gear. It is fitted with a 98cm/38in working width cutter deck with side discharge or mulch options. Height of cut is easy to adjust from 25-80mm with 7 settings.

Blackcurrant. Liquorice. Bold.
||Kiriaini Coffee Factory
||SL 28, SL 34 and Ruiru 11
Our first Kenyan Espresso this season is coming from Kiambu, one of the best coffee growing regions on the Southern slopes of Mount Kenya. The cup is rich and fully bodied with dominant flavours of blackcurrant and a wonderful liquorice finish.
All coffees are pulped, fermented overnight, washed, soaked and sundried. The coffees are fermented for 16-24 hours under closed shade. After fermentation the coffees are washed and again graded by density in washing channels and are then soaked under clean water for 16-20 hours. Drying: Sun dried for up to 15 days on African or raised drying beds. The coffee parchment is turned often and constantly sorted, then covered during midday and at night.
The factory however has initiated some projects to conserve the surrounding environment. Water filtering pits and collaborating with the Coffee Research Institute for seedling program for member farmers.

Dried fruit snack brand ReelFruit has closed a $3 million Series A funding round led by Alitheia IDF, with follow-on investment from Samata Capital and Flying Doctor Healthcare Investment Company.
Nigerian whole fruit snack brand ReelFruit secures $3million in funding
Reelfruit is already on track to double last year’s revenues by November 2021.
Established in 2012, ReelFruit produces “skin-on-dried fruit” in Nigeria and remains its market leader with over 85 employees. The brand’s portfolio features varieties such as Gently Dried Mango, Fruit & Nut Mix, and Sweetened Coconut Flakes, which are available in over 450 outlets in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt. ReelFruit has also exported to the US, Saudi Arabia and Switzerland.
With the funding, Nigerian-based ReelFruit plans to accelerate product innovation and enter into adjacent categories, as well as continue to produce the tastiest and healthiest snacks for its customers across the world. The capital will also be used to grow its team and invest in expanded production capacity.
“This investment takes ReelFruit to the next level. We can meet increased demand for our products and tackle one of our biggest challenges – raw material supply. We’re thrilled that this will unleash a greater impact on our value chain by increasing farmer incomes and creating up to 300 decent jobs for Nigerians,” Affiong Williams, ReelFruit CEO/Founder.
“Alitheia IDF is proud to support ReelFruit’s ongoing efforts to boost food production in Nigeria and positively impact communities through deliberate partnerships with local farmers, distributors, and retailers. The investment will strengthen the company to unlock further growth, upskill farmers and improve economic outcomes for thousands of women who play a significant role in the production of ReelFruit’s products,” said Tokunboh Ishmael, Alitheia IDF co-founder.
Key to its expansion plans, ReelFruit will acquire a new factory in Ogun State to increase its monthly dried fruit production from 6 MT to 30 MT in the first year. According to the company, the factory will hire over 200 people in its first year, and wIth its greater supply of dried fruit, increase exports to international markets by 10 x to 15 MT.
ReelFruit will diversify its local and international sales channels to meet strong demand for its dried fruit snacks. The company will launch an e-commerce channel for direct US sales by Q421 and unlock more B2B opportunities, including white-labelling and co-packing to support the national drive toward import substitution.
As part of its efforts to secure high-quality raw materials, ReelFruit also plans to deepen its existing work with Nigerian fruit farmers. The company will form an agro-extension services program for 250 registered mango and pineapple producers. The program will boost fruit yields and help support a steady supply of high-quality raw materials for the factory.

The renowned 5275 Mini-Mixer has been specifically designed to process bales up to 4'x5' (1.2m x 1.5m) into a uniform TMR that resists sorting. At only two metres tall, even the smallest skid steers won’t have any trouble loading this 275 cubic foot (7.8m3) model and just 45 horsepower will run it.
Jaylor used decades of experience building larger TMR mixers to engineer the same capabilities and durability into the 5275 Mini-Mixer. The 5275 is equipped with patented Square-Cut augers, which consistently produce a uniform total mixed ration with optimum shaker box results.

Monsanto, the world’s largest seed company, has reported an operating profit of $3.5bn (€3.1bn) for its full financial year, a 13.5% decline compared with the same period last year. Full-year profits stood at $2.3bn (€2.1bn) despite the group recording a near $500m loss in its final quarter of the year.
Monsanto’s net sales declined by 5.6% to just over $15bn (€13bn), with the majority of this made up from the group’s seed and genomics division. Monsanto’s chemical division contributed about $5bn (€4.4bn) in sales.
Successive years of large grain harvests in the US have weighed heavily on grain prices and eroded farmer incomes, which in turn has impacted on Monsanto’s seed sales. Despite an expected continuation of headwinds for commodities and the global market alike, Monsanto remains defiant it can achieve ongoing earning of $5.10 to $5.60 per share in the coming fiscal year.
The company also reiterated its five-year ambition to more than double its 2014 earnings by the year 2019. Chief executive Hugh Grant said Monsanto remains the best positioned company in the industry.
“We will continue to focus on executing on key milestones within our core seeds and traits business, and we plan to remain disciplined in our agricultural productivity strategy, drive further optimization in spend through strategic restructuring actions and accelerate our progress toward our targeted capital structure,” added Grant.
Despite the positive outlook, Monsanto released details of a cost-cutting restructuring programme it will undertake in the coming years. The group said it expects to cut up to 2,600 jobs in the next 24 months with a target to make annual savings of $275-300m by the end of 2017.
Earlier this year, Monsanto made three separate buyout offers for the Swiss-based chemical giant Syngenta. The offers, which valued Syngenta at more than €40bn, were all rejected by management at the Swiss firm, who said the offers significantly undervalued the company.
Monsanto finally withdrew its interest in early September saying it would focus on its core seed business from now on.
Any merger of Monsanto and Syngenta would have created by far the largest seed and chemical company in the world, with a turnover close to €30bn. Combined they would have controlled about 40% of both the seed and chemical markets.

The United States said Tuesday it will put a spotlight on the impact of the war in Ukraine and other conflicts on the diminishing availability of food and rising prices at two U.N. events later this month, an issue which has sparked fears of increasing hunger and starvation in many countries.
U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield told a news conference that U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will chair a ministerial meeting on food insecurity across the globe on May 18 to review current and future humanitarian needs. It will include foreign ministers from many regionally diverse donor nations and countries most affected by the increasing difficulty to provide adequate food to their people, she said.
BIDEN OFFICIAL SAYS FOOD SHORTAGES WILL PUSH FARMERS TO GREEN ENERGY: ‘NEVER LET A CRISIS GO TO WASTE’
The United States holds the rotating presidency of the U.N. Security Council this month and the following day — May 19 — Blinken will chair a meeting where its 15 members “will consider steps we need to take to make sure increasing food insecurity does not drive new conflicts, instability, particularly in fragile states,” the U.S. envoy said.
Thomas-Greenfield said Ukraine used to be a breadbasket for the developing world but since Russia’s Feb. 24 invasion, which has sparked the largest refugee crisis in Europe since World War II, the country’s crucial ports have been blocked, civilian infrastructure and grain silos have been destroyed, and “desperate hunger situations in Africa and the Middle East are getting even more dire.”
French President Emmanuel Macron raised the issue of global food security in a phone conversation Tuesday with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Elysee Palace said in a statement.
Macron said he was willing to work with international organizations to try to help seek a lifting of the Russian blockade on exports of food goods via the Black Sea, the statement said.
Russia and Ukraine together produce 30% of the world’s wheat supply, 20% of its corn, and export about three-quarters of the world’s sunflower seed oil.
UKRAINE WAR IS A ‘PERFECT STORM,’ THREATENING FOOD, ENERGY, AND DEBT CRISES ACROSS THE GLOBE: UN REPORT
The U.N. food chief said in mid-April that some 30 million metric tons of grain bound for export are unable to be shipped because of the war.
David Beasley, executive director of the U.N. World Food Program, warned the Security Council in March that the war in Ukraine has created “a catastrophe on top of a catastrophe” and will have a global impact “beyond anything we’ve seen since World War II” because many of the Ukrainian farmers who produce a significant amount of the world’s wheat are now fighting Russians.

He said already high food prices are skyrocketing and the war in Ukraine is turning “the breadbasket of the world to breadlines” for millions of its people, while devastating countries like Egypt that normally gets 85% of its grain from Ukraine and Lebanon that got 81% in 2020.
Beasley said WFP was feeding 125 million people around the world before the Russian invasion and has had to start cutting rations because of rising food, fuel and shipping costs. WFP had been buying 50% of its grain for needy people from Ukraine.
