Rockbridge Area Master Gardeners
Master Gardener Class Information
Who Are Master Gardeners?
Master Gardeners (MGs) share an enthusiasm for gardening in its many forms and for landscaping and protecting the environment.
Some Master Gardeners have created successful gardens at home, while others are relative newcomers to gardening who want to enhance their knowledge through training in the Master Gardener program.
Many Master Gardeners work at jobs full time; others are retired or working part time. All enjoy the rigors and rewards of gardening as well as making friends and acquaintances with common interests.
What Do Master Gardeners Do?
As a public service to the Rockbridge area, Master Gardeners assist the Virginia Cooperative Extension agent in educating and informing the public. They accomplish these goals in a number of ways:
to common gardening and landscaping problems through the Extension Office Hotline and plant clinics.
VIRGINIA MASTER GARDENERS
The Rockbridge Area Master Gardener program is a part of Virginia Master Gardeners, an educational program of Virginia Cooperative Extension (VCE). In turn, VCE is a partnership of Virginia Tech, Virginia State University, the United States Department of Agriculture, plus state and local governments. Virginia Tech and Virginia State University spends considerable money and energy on horticultural research, finding better methods and plants for the gardener and ways to protect the environment. Virginia Cooperative Extension and Master Gardening serve to educate the public on the results of this research.
Master Gardener programs are active in many states. There are forty-four units in Virginia, all working with Virginia Cooperative Extension in various ways and with the state-level organization, the Virginia Master Gardener Association. The Master Gardener program is open to all, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, age, veteran status, national origin, disability or political association. It is an equal opportunity and affirmative action association.

At Evergreen Africa, we have undertaken a number of sustainability programmes. If you would like to support in anyway please get in touch.
Watch our video on some of the programmes we have in place.
Being able to help some of the most impoverished and disadvantaged people on the planet to lift themselves out of poverty is an honour. But it’s also a challenge; it can be very easy to get it wrong and the developing world is littered with the carcasses of discontinued projects that well-meaning people have started, but have not had the funds to continue. That is why Evergreen Africa has sustainability at the core of everything we do. Our ultimate aim is to enable the communities we work with to develop for themselves the infrastructure and facilities they need and, crucially, the capability to sustain them without outside help.
Some programmes can have self-sustainment built in – and Evergreen’s goat programme and Village Savings & Loan Schemes are good examples, they are now fully established and require no external funding for them to continue; the local communities can operate and grow them for their own expanding benefit without further help from Evergreen. But some programmes cannot ever be self-sustaining. A school for example, requires constant funding for scholastic materials, staff salaries and so on. Similarly, Community Health Promoters, while acting themselves as volunteers, need continuing professional development training if they are to maintain their professional edge and their motivation.
Therefore, Evergreen Africa has developed a model of Sustainability Programmes. The concept is for Evergreen to help the community establish a programme that will provide an income for those engaged on it, but at the same time will return profits that can sustain one or more of those other programmes that require ongoing funding. The Sustainability Programmes we have developed to achieve this are described in this section.
The main operational area of Evergreen Africa is on top and around the high slopes of Wanale Ridge. The ridge is one of the highest foothills of Mount Elgon. It is a volcanic mountain which receives rain most of the year, and its soils are very fertile meaning that, at one time, almost any crop could be grown there.
Please see the Coffee Roasting description for an explanation of how and why the once very fertile land on the Wanale Ridge was abused, resulting in serious soil erosion, such that virtually no useful crops could take hold and grow.
The concept of the Evergreen Market Garden is to reintroduce farming of profitable crops while protecting the land from the hazards of soil-erosion, managing organic soil fertility and maximising productivity through careful planning of crop varieties.


The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has welcomed a US$ 500,000 (MK500 million) contribution from the government of Japan to meet the urgent food needs of 200,000 Malawians affected by higher staple prices due to the conflict in Ukraine and recent flood-induced crop losses.
The funding will complement a government of Malawi-led intervention providing 540 metric tonnes of locally procured beans to affected people in the districts of Chikwawa, Nsanje and Phalombe hit by flooding in March.
With global food prices already at their highest in a decade and economic growth slowing, the Ukraine conflict is deepening and widening a hunger crisis afflicting countries around the world, including Malawi. Involving two of the biggest producers of cereals, natural gas and fertilizer, it continues to wreak havoc on food and energy markets.
“We are grateful to the government of Japan for helping people in Malawi withstand the increasingly severe impacts of the crisis in Ukraine, particularly the rapidly rising inflation and the effects of floods, which threaten to further compromise food security,” said Paul Turnbull, WFP Country Director and Representative in Malawi.
“The government of Japan will continue to respond to the deterioration of global food security caused by the situation in Ukraine”, said Satoshi Iwakiri, its ambassador to Malawi. “We are partnering with the World Food Programme to supply food assistance to developing countries affected by the crisis for their basic needs.”
On July 5, the government of Japan announced an aid package valued at some US$200 million for countries in Africa and the Middle East whose food insecurity has been exacerbated by the Ukraine crisis. It provides for, among other things, emergency food assistance and support to the building of national capacities to boost self-reliance.
WFP is partnering with the government of Malawi on a range of activities, including emergency food assistance and cash-based transfers, nutritional support, supply chain and logistics initiatives, and resilience-building.


Cambodia’s Minister of Commerce Sun Chanthol said Tuesday that the country is expected to achieve its goal of exporting one million tons of milled rice in 2015.
“The country had exported more than 400,000 tons in 2013 and there is two years more toward the goal, so I do believe that the country can reach this target,” he said while witnessing a signing ceremony between the Amru Rice-Cambodia Compamy and South Korea’s Hanwha Corporation.
Under the agreement, the two companies would work together to export Cambodian rice to South Korea and other Asian countries. …

The sixth annual Garden Faire is coming to Scotts Valley”s Skypark next Saturday to celebrate sustainable gardening and landscaping.
The all-day event, organized by the California Native Garden Foundation, includes speakers and experts demonstrating aspects of sustainable gardening, garden-centric vendors, educational exhibits by local groups, healthy food vendors, entertainment and family-friendly activities.
Organizers hope the Garden Faire will inspire attendees to make a difference, think globally and act locally while building community.
The theme, “Celebrating Abundance,” taps into the idea that there are local human resources just waiting to be utilized to promote sustainability through the smart use of rainwater and native plants, for example. Besides sharing practical knowledge, Garden Faire coordinators hope the event will inspire attendees.
Organizers want to “make people aware that, even though we may be in an economic recession, life is full of abundance and it”s all around us and sometimes we just need to open our eyes and see things a little differently,” said Brett Graf, Garden Faire coordinator and owner of local landscape company Habitat Gardens.
New this year is the Gardeners” Exchange, a chance for fair attendees to bring their surplus plants of all sizes, gardening tools, pots and supplies, books and magazines to trade.
“The Gardeners” Exchange is helping to potentially divert things that could go to the landfill,” Graf said. “It”s promoting sustainability.”
The day features a full lineup of presentations, with the goal of educating and inspiring home gardeners. There will be booths on rainwater, graywater, compost, biodiversity and native plants.
“People can learn about what they”re most interested in, and take that into their garden at home,” said Sheryl McEwan, a master gardener and the Garden Faire chair, adding that there would be experts on hand to offer practical advice on many garden-related topics.
The Garden Faire is still accepting vendor applications and looking for volunteers. Visit www.thegardenfaire.org.

Growing hydrangeas in pots is a great way to enjoy these beautiful flowers even if you have limited space. To care for hydrangeas in a pot, it’s important to choose a compact variety and provide it with at least four hours of sun each day. Hydrangeas should be planted in a well-drained, acidic soil and watered regularly, as container plants dry out faster than those in the ground. Fertilizing potted hydrangeas is also crucial to replenish nutrients that are washed out through frequent watering. Additionally, it’s important to protect potted hydrangeas from extreme temperatures and provide them with the right amount of humidity. By following these care tips, you can enjoy vibrant blooms from your hydrangeas in pots.
Selecting the Right Hydrangea Variety for Containers
When it comes to growing hydrangeas in containers, selecting the right variety is key. Choosing a compact and small-sized hydrangea variety that is suitable for container growing will ensure successful growth and beautiful blooms. Here are some of the best hydrangeas for pots:
- Invincibelle Wee White: This compact hydrangea variety features stunning white blooms and is known for its continuous flowering from summer to frost.

By selecting one or more of these compact hydrangea varieties, you can create a stunning container garden filled with beautiful blooms. Whether you prefer vibrant pink, blue, white, or multi-colored flowers, these hydrangeas are sure to thrive and bring joy to your outdoor space.
Tips for Planting and Caring for Hydrangeas in Pots
To ensure the success of your hydrangeas in pots, it’s important to follow proper planting and care techniques. Start by selecting a container with good drainage that is at least 16 to 24 inches in diameter. This will provide enough space for the roots to grow and prevent waterlogging.
Next, choose a lightweight, high-quality potting mix specifically designed for hydrangeas. You can also add compost to enrich the soil and promote healthy growth. When planting the hydrangea, make sure the top of the root ball sits slightly below the rim of the container. This will prevent excess water from spilling over and allow for proper watering.
Watering potted hydrangeas is crucial, as they tend to dry out faster than those planted in the ground. Check the soil daily and water when the top inch feels dry. Be sure to water thoroughly, allowing the excess water to drain out through the drainage holes. Mulching the soil with organic matter will help retain moisture and keep the roots cool during hot summer months.
Protecting your potted hydrangeas from temperature extremes is essential for their survival. During winter, move the container to a sheltered spot or wrap it with burlap to insulate the roots. This will prevent frost damage and ensure the plant’s health. Additionally, consider placing the container in a location that provides shade during the hottest parts of the day to prevent wilting and sunburn.
Fertilizing container-grown hydrangeas is necessary to replenish nutrients that may be washed out through frequent watering. Use a slow-release fertilizer specifically formulated for flowering shrubs or acid-loving plants. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application rates and timing. By providing your potted hydrangeas with the necessary care and attention, you can enjoy their stunning blooms for seasons to come.

I am writing in regard to the recent article on Baylor’s Community Garden in the Jan. 19 edition of The Lariat.
Unfortunately, while the Graduate School was recognized in the program as one of the key supporters of the garden, the Lariat article failed to make any mention of the Graduate School’s involvement or to include the Graduate School’s representative in the picture accompanying the article.
The Graduate School is one of the key proponents of the Community Garden. The Graduate School’s approval for the use of the lot at Ninth and James provided a space for the Community Garden to become a reality rather than just a good idea. Moreover, graduate students will play an intimate role in the garden as five beds, fully 1/3 of the garden’s arable space, will be maintained by graduate students from the Browning Square Graduate Student Housing Community who will donate a portion of the food they grow to Campus Kitchen. The Graduate School is excited about its important role in the Baylor Community Garden and looks forward to its close collaboration with other campus groups and the larger Waco community as we all work together toward a successful, sustainable garden.

Multinational food firms are stepping up efforts to encourage farmers in developing countries to keep pace with spiraling consumer demand for chocolate.This content was published on January 29, 2012 - 10:50
Firms such as Nestlé and Barry Callebaut argue that improving cocoa crop yields presents a win-win situation for corporations, farmers and consumers. But watchdog groups warn that initiatives often come with damaging side effects.
A rapidly expanding global population, coupled with increased purchasing power of consumers in emerging economies, has placed a strain on many raw materials.
Sudden and serious adverse weather conditions can exacerbate shortages of many staple food materials, leading in some cases to soaring prices. Inefficient farming methods in some countries have also contributed to the imbalances in supply and demand.
Zurich-based Barry Callebaut, the world’s biggest chocolate manufacturer, estimates that global production of cocoa beans (4.25 million tonnes in 2010-2011) has to increase by a quarter by 2020 to keep up with demand for the luxury product.
The biggest obstacle to such an increase in cocoa supply is poor agricultural practices in developing countries that has eroded the quality of both soil and cocoa plants.
In an effort to secure a sustainable future supply of cocoa, Barry Callebaut launched its Quality Partner Program in 2005 to improve agricultural practices in Ivory Coast.
“Ivory Coast cocoa farms typically yield about 400 kilos of beans per hectare, which is lower than other parts of the world,” Barry Callebaut spokesman Raphael Wermuth told swissinfo.ch.
“We believe that we can double this output with very small improvements in some of the latest basic agricultural practices.”
In addition to training programmes, Barry Callebaut stumped up €26 million (SFr31 million) in interest-free loans last year to help farmers buy new crops and fertilizers, a policy also carried out by rival firms.
Other well-known Swiss food companies, such as Nestlé and premium chocolate producer Lindt & Sprüngli, also run social programmes in West Africa with the stated aim of lifting farmers and communities out of poverty.
Watchdog groups welcomed the development that also puts large corporations in closer touch with local farmers, making it easier to trace the source of beans to the best run farms.
However, the problem of children being forced to undertake dangerous work on some plantations still worries agencies such as Berne Declaration.
Despite multinational corporations collectively agreeing in 2001 to end the worst forms of child labour, a study released in 2010 by Tulane University of Louisiana in the United States showed that many children are still being trafficked and put at risk in West Africa.
“It is dishonest for companies to market their corporate responsibility credentials to consumers while failing to invest enough in the abolition of child slave labour,” Flurina Doppler of Berne Declaration told swissinfo.ch.
“They are far more interested in ensuring their supply of cocoa than improving social conditions.”
Swiss-based food consultant James Amoroso agrees that the corporate world is more interested in meeting long term demand for cocoa supplies than helping out people in impoverished countries.
“Sustainability is not a charity,” he told swissinfo.ch. “These companies are not do-gooders, but if these programmes are applied properly then they do bring philanthropic side-effects for local farmers.”
“In the short term it is more expensive for companies to source cocoa directly from local farmers,” he added.
“But in the long run it is gives them a competitive advantage to be close to the source and ensure a better supply and quality that your competitors have less access to.”
Stock market volatility
However, Amoroso is convinced that Swiss companies take their social responsibilities far more seriously than some global competitors who merely pay lip service to the conditions of locals on the ground.
Swiss food giant Nestlé insisted that it is dedicated to stamping out child labour by improving productivity on farms in tandem with educational and health projects in West Africa as part of its Cocoa Plan.
“Child labour is very much a symptom of poverty,” Nestlé spokesman Chris Hogg told swissinfo.ch. “By improving the livelihoods of cocoa farmers, the Cocoa Plan aims to improve social conditions in cocoa farming communities and, in turn, reduce child labour.”
But the only way of truly improving the livelihoods of farmers is to better regulate the global trade in the raw materials of food and beverages, according to Berne Declaration. NGOs, companies and many politicians agree that leaving food commodity prices at the mercy of stock market speculators cannot continue.
“There is no level playing field with this system because farmers are powerless to influence prices,” Doppler told swissinfo.ch.
Total global cocoa production in the 2010-2011 season was 4.25 million tonnes, according to the International Cocoa Organization.
That figure represents a 17% increase on the previous season that was blighted by poor harvests.
Cocoa can only be grown in some areas close to the equator. Some 70% of cocoa is produced in West Africa, with Ivory Coast accounting for 40% of world supply.
The Tulane University report of 2010 estimated that 1.8 million children under the age of 15 were still working in the cocoa industry in Ivory Coast and Ghana.
The world’s population is expected to grow 38%, or by 2.6 billion people, to a total of 9.5 billion people by 2050.
At the same time, many consumers in emerging economies, such as China, are projected to enjoy greater spending power in the coming decades which will increase demand for luxury goods such as chocolate.
Barry Callebaut forecasts that another one million tonnes of cocoa beans will have to be produced by 2020 alone to keep up with spiraling demand for chocolate products.End of insertion

August 6th, 10:00am marks the commencement of our visits! Getting up (a little too) bright and early, Claire and I made sure to leave plenty of time for our garden on wheels to safely make its way to the Boll Family YMCA. There, we had such an amazing first visit, making 5 presentations for a total of 100 campers. Each learned the importance of knowing where our food comes from and the benefits of eating healthy. After learning about the importance of gardening, taste testing veggies from our garden, they became gardeners too-bringing home a mini-garden we planted that day!
The next morning, we set off bound for camp Green Living Science. We had the special opportunity of working with only three kids for an hour and a half! With that extra time, we made seed bombs, planted various seeds and flowers, and sat in a pow-wow, discussing all we had learned that day.
Our great friend, Belvin Liles, so graciously volunteered part of his summer to assist us at these camps as well. Our visits have been fun and entertaining for both the kids and us! Though a long haul to certain camps, every drive is so worthwhile when we the shining faces peering into the garden!
Next week, we’re scheduled to visit Healthy Kidz Inc, City Camp, and E.L. Johnson Nature Center. Until next time!

"Great service!! Really Impressed!"


The pumpkin patch business was off to a rough start in Nebraska. There was a lot of rain and even snow during the first half of the month. Tim Vala owns Vala’s Pumpkin Patch near Gretna says they were worried the rain would damage their pumpkin and apple crop.
Vala says, “We were concerned with fruit rot and I think we are seeing a little bit more of that than normal. We still seem to have quite a few pumpkins left. The apple crop, some of the earlier varieties are getting a little soft but that is to be expected. We have some of the later varieties that people really like that are coming on strong now and the snow really didn’t hurt those.”
Vala’s is open rain or shine and did open as scheduled on Sunday. Vala says when the snow started sticking to the tree leaves some branches came down so the closed mid-afternoon due to safety reasons. He says the snow didn’t cause too much tree damage.
Vala says the rain slowed business earlier this month but visitors still showed up for a good time. He says they are fortunate to have a number of indoor attractions so even in the bad weather they get a crowd. He says even during Sunday’s snow the crowd was good.
Vala says owing a pumpkin patch is like any other agricultural business and you have to take the good with the bad.


"Early November to early December is the vacancy period for Chinese ginger exports to Europe. A new round of ginger exports to Europe starts in the second week of December. Due to the peeling of air-dried ginger, customers usually start early in December. Fresh ginger is air-dried by merchants in its own air-drying room. From the end of December, exporters began to mainly release ginger.
"This year, overall, thanks to a more stable climate, the quality of Xinjiang is better than last year. Only a small part of the region has experienced floods and has little impact on the overall situation. At the beginning of the new season, the receipt price was It is lower than the same period last year, but due to the small output, farmers are reluctant to sell and push prices all the way up. It is now about 30% higher than the same period last year. It is expected that prices will rise steadily at least until the Chinese New Year. "
At the beginning of the new season, the receiving price was lower than the same period last year, but due to the small output, farmers reluctant to sell and pushed the price all the way up. It is now about 30% higher than the same period last year. Prices are expected to rise steadily until at least the Chinese New Year. "
"In the international market, the main competition that Chinese ginger faces is from Peru and Brazil, especially Brazilian ginger, which has caused some competition for Chinese ginger in 2019. I understand that the export of Brazilian ginger to Europe doubled from 2019 to 2018. The main reason is that the Chinese ginger price was higher during the same period. At this stage, Peru and Brazil's ginger production season is coming to an end. From now until May 2020, China's ginger export will usher in a peak season, but currently China's ginger prices remain high, I am afraid that Will have some impact on demand. "
"Looking at the overall situation, China ’s ginger exports are huge and the market has its own advantages and disadvantages. European markets need air-dried ginger and the profit margin is relatively high, but because air-dried ginger is more prone to quality problems, customer claims are higher, and due to exchange rate comparison The problem is that the claim amount is often large, so it seems that the profit margin is high and the actual risk is relatively high. Therefore, some processing plants are not enthusiastic about making European dried ginger. "
So far, within 2 weeks, our company has shipped a total of 25 containers of new season ginger to European customers.


New NJPPC Website
Glassboro, NJ (June 14, 2016) The New Jersey Peach Promotion Council announces their newly re-designed website. With it's slideshow of photos it responds to any standard size screen and device.
“Now peach shoppers can find the nearest grower, retailers and shippers of Jersey peaches from their smart phones, as well as from desktops, laptops and notebooks,” says Santo John Maccherone, chair of the Council.
The easy-to-navigate website has a complete listing of member growers, enabling wholesale and retail buyers to quickly find peaches, and click through to supplier websites, which state what types of peaches are available, and when. Retailers can download peach price cards, handling guides, food safety practices, information on grading, and more.
The new site contains useful links for our peach-loving community, such as the US Department of Agriculture, Rutgers University Peach Science, New Jersey Department of Agriculture’s Jersey Fresh websites, and others, as well as Facebook and Twitter. Consumers can find recipes, peach facts, handling tips, nutrition information, food safety practices, New Jersey peach history, and more.
Three informative videos can be viewed through the site: one designed for consumers, one for wholesalers, distributors and retailers; and one geared toward kids, with “peach fun facts.”
When peaches are ready for market, in early July, the new site’s homepage will feature upcoming events, supermarket nutrition demonstrations and availability in stores and farmers markets.
The New Jersey Peach Promotion Council is a non-profit, voluntary organization of growers, shippers, wholesalers and associated industries dedicated to maintaining a viable peach industry in the Garden State for the purpose of preserving farmers and farmland; and to providing the highest quality and best tasting fresh peaches to consumers. New Jersey is the fourth largest peach producing state in the country, with approximately 80 orchards on 5,500 acres.

With a wooden handle that is both traditional and comfortable to use. The stainless steel blade makes this knife rust resistant and easy to keep clean – an important factor in avoiding cross contamination. The straight budding blade is used for taking cuttings or grafting using the bark lifter on the end of the blade. The blade is easily sharpened.

The blade is sharp on both side so not suitable for grafting as it'll scoop instead of a straight cut. So avoid if you want to use for grafting trees.


Memorial Day Weekend is the "unofficial start to Summer" and NOAA's Climate Prediction Center is out with the forecast for the next three months.
For the Midwest, it looks wet...perhaps necessitating the term "Mudwest."
Wetter-than-normal conditions are expected from Iowa, down to the Southeastern U.S. This forecast is pretty much a continuation of what we've seen so far this Spring where the Deep South has seen record breaking rains.
Chicago has had its wettest May on record, dating back to the 1870s.
There are some takeaways from this wet pattern. Unfortunately, they aren't good for agricultural interests. Heavy rain will increase the odds of crops in standing water. With higher humidity levels, it also increases the odds of pests in the fields.
This, coming on top of tough economic conditions, could cause significant issues for our farmers.
This above-normal moisture also means we will have a harder time getting to 100 degrees this Summer. History tells us that the Quad Cities gets to 100 degrees, it's typically dry. That makes sense because dry air heats up more efficiently than humid air.
I think back to the extreme drought year of 1988 where we got above 100 degrees several times in June.
Severe weather season will also be implicated by a wetter-than-normal season. Typically in Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois, severe weather and tornadoes peak in the first week of June.
This year, "tornado season" is likely to be spread out into June and July, possibly not peaking until late June. Just two weeks ago this morning, we had temperatures below freezing.

- ADAMA Agricultural Solutions UK Ltd. has appointed Ben Miles as the company’s new Managing Director
Ben joins ADAMA from BASF where he was the Head of Marketing for the UK and Ireland. Prior to this he worked as BASF’s Head of Customer Strategy and as the company’s AgSolutions Manager.

Ben replaces Alison Bosher who was announced as interim General Manager of ADAMA UK at the beginning of 2021 and who has subsequently been appointed as the company’s Go To Market Director; a position which sees her take charge of the commercial strategy for ADAMA in the UK and lead the company’s marketing, technical and regional agronomy teams.
“I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Ali for her untiring commitment to fulfilling two roles during the past 12 months,” Ben adds. “Ali leads a truly dedicated team of marketing and technical specialists and has done a sterling job of keeping ADAMA’s UK business on track during what has been a tricky 12 months in terms of supply chain logistics and uncertainty caused by the ongoing Covid-19 challenge. I look forward to working alongside Ali and the rest of the UK team to ensure we continue to expand ADAMA’s position in the UK.”

jersey royal potatoes
i’m not a big potato fan and rarely buy them but whenever jersey royals come into season i just have to indulge. these little potatoes, grown only on jersey, have a wonderfully buttery flavour.
my first taste of the season is always of potatoes which are simply boiled with some mint. a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a few extra fresh mint leaves is all i need. or is it? what do you do with your favourite potatoes?

Bank of Ireland has today (28 July 2014) launched a range of new flexible loans, AgriFlex, specially targeted at supporting the development of Ireland’s agricultural sector. These flexible new loan products have been developed to support farmers during times of commodity price volatility and the potential impact these can have on farmer income.
Bank of Ireland has also announced a new €1 billion fund to support the ongoing development of the agri sector up to the end of 2017. The agri sector has seen strong growth in jobs and exports, up 11.1% in the first quarter of this year. This new fund will enhance future growth with support available for a range of farm investments and improvements including the purchase of livestock, land and farm machinery.
The Bank’s new AgriFlex farm loans will offer customers the opportunity to align their loan repayments with their farm’s cash-flow. With features including interest only repayment periods, AgriFlex will help offset the impact of sudden falls in farm gate prices to their customers.
Speaking at the launch, Sean Farrell, Head of Agri, Bank of Ireland Business Banking said: “Bank of Ireland is providing more than 50% of all new and increased agri lending. Land acquisition, farm buildings, including milking parlour investment and increased stocking requirements are the main drivers of growth. We have seen a steady increase in both applications and approvals from this sector over the first six months of the year. Our lending approvals to the agri sector during the first six months of 2014 have increased by 18% compared to the same period last year. We anticipate that this demand will continue to strengthen as evidenced by the latest CSO data which shows that the agriculture, forestry & fisheries sector is performing very well – the sector grew by 5.5% in 2013, and in the first quarter of 2014 was up 11.1% compared to the same period last year”.
“The abolition of the milk quota in April of next year provides a unique opportunity for renewed growth in this very important sector of the economy. Our commitment to this important sector remains core to our strategy. We recognise that many farmers are looking to expand or change their businesses but need some support to address the potential challenges which they can face as a result of fluctuating prices, variable weather patterns and increasing costs of doing business.
“Among the most frequent risks and concerns identified by farmers when considering borrowing money to grow their businesses is price volatility. We understand these concerns and recognise that financial ups and downs are a feature of farming. We have developed the AgriFlex farm loans which will provide our farming customers with the flexibility to reduce monthly repayments (e.g. through availing of interest only repayments) in these situations. In addition, we continue to actively support the Agricultural Processing Sector and to explore a range of other options to deal with volatility at processor level, including the potential to provide some hedging capability via the commodity futures markets”.
Welcoming the new product and fund, Eddie Downey, IFA President said: “With increasing income volatility in farming in recent years, IFA has identified the need for the banking sector to develop products that respond to this and which will support farmers to manage their enterprises through difficult periods. We welcome Bank of Ireland’s new AgriFlex product as part of their commitment to addressing the problem of income viability on Irish farms. We would encourage farmers to consider AgriFlex as an option to help address short-term on-farm cash-flow financial pressures”.
“A further key part of the Bank’s successful approach to the agriculture sector is our network of highly experienced agri managers which are available across the country to support farmers and to help them to ensure that they make the right investment choices”, concluded Sean Farrell.

How do you prune rose bushes for winter? Prune off dead and fading flowers from your rose bushes in late autumn.
Deadheading just before winter makes the bush look tidy.; Remove dead or broken stems and branches. A rough winter wind may rip them off the bush, wounding still-healthy stems.; Cut out suckers as close to the point of origin as possible.
When do you cut back rose bushes in texas. Wait until the very early spring just before the rock rose begins to develop new foliage for the year.
Cutting back the plant annually will control the growth and rejuvenate it for the next growing season. You can cut your rose bush down even more if youd like to change its shape or height.
September To Do List. Plant: ornamental & wildlife.
Late month: Perennials, shrubs, ornamental (clumping) grasses; Late month: Cover crops for dormant vegetable beds: clover, hairy vetch, elbon (cereal) rye, Austrian winter peas, or annual rye. They typically bloom on old wood, so cutting them back in early spring would cut off new blooms.
They should be pruned just after the flowers finish, although you can remove dead or unwanted branches at. Prune only if you know the rose requires pruning. I wait until early spring when I can tell which canes, if any, are dead.
These I cut back to living tissue or to the base, depending on the amount of dead cane.
You should not need to prune Knockouts or their relatives at all. In fact, the plants will have a nicer overall shape if you leave them alone. Jan 08, The best time to prune all types of roses is either in late winters or in early spring.
This is the time when new growth starts. Fall is not a good time for pruning, as this could lead to the death of the plant. When it comes to cutting back a knockout rose plant, there are.

Water Recycling Projects
South Sacramento Agriculture &
Habitat Lands Water Recycling Program
Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District (SRCSD), in collaboration with regional stakeholders, is developing the South Sacramento County Agriculture & Habitat Lands Recycled Water Program (South County Ag Program). The South County Ag Program would provide a safe and reliable supply of tertiary treated water for agricultural uses, reduce groundwater pumping, support habitat restoration efforts and provide near-term benefits to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and the region.
The South County Ag program proposes to use Title 22 tertiary treated recycled water on allowed crops (e.g. alfalfa, irrigated pastures, etc.) to irrigate permanent agriculture lands and habitat mitigation lands through new recycled water transmission and distribution systems. The amount of water saved is equivalent to the potable water needs of up to 65,000 homes in the Sacramento region. The program could also help improve water sustainability in the Sacramento region and contribute to the Delta ecosystem restoration efforts.
This "green program" has the capability of being phased and expanded as funding is secured. SRCSD staff are pursuing the medium program option. The medium program option will provide multiple benefits including protection of surface water and groundwater supplies by providing up to 34,000 acre-feet (AF) per year of recycled water to irrigate up to 18,000 acres of permanent agriculture and habitat lands located in south Sacramento County.
If additional funding is secured, SRCSD staff will have the option to pursue the large program alternative. At final build-out, the large program has the potential to provide up to 52,000 AF per year of recycled water and the capacity to irrigate up to 18,000 acres of agricultural, habitat mitigation and conservation lands, which could make it one of the largest water recycling programs in the state.
The South County Ag Program provides multiple benefits and has regional and statewide benefits as water resources struggle to meet growing water demands.
Costs and Funding
The program is flexible and can be built in phases to facilitate its financing and constructability. The costs to implement the South County Ag Program are being refined as part of an ongoing feasibility study. The preliminary cost estimates indicate that this program is competitive compared to other water recycling programs in the state.
SRCSD is actively seeking local, state, and federal funding assistance to support implementation of the South County Ag Program. In May 2012, the United States Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) notified SRCSD that its grant application through Reclamation's Title XVI Program was selected to receive $110,000 in grant funding. This grant will help SRCSD to develop a Title XVI Feasibility Study that will eventually allow SRCSD to pursue construction grant funding to implement the program.
This South County Ag Program has numerous regional and environmental benefits, including:
- Use of recycled water in-lieu of potable water supplies to meet non-potable water demands
- A drought proof, reliable, and sustainable water supply for agriculture and habitat lands
- Reuses highly treated wastewater instead of discharging to the Sacramento River
- Supports the State and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation goals for increased use of recycled water
- Conserves surface water and groundwater supplies
- Helps recover the over-drafted local groundwater table
- Regulated use of recycled water is safe for crop irrigation
- Supported by a wide range of stakeholders
- Program costs are competitive compared to the development of new water supplies
- Program is flexible and can be phased

If you place your plant near a heater vent, will the heat harm it?
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
It is generally not a good idea to place a plant near direct heat, as this can certainly dry it out quicker and may even scorch the leaves. Try moving it to another location, if possible.

According to Reuters, in the near future, states that buy large volumes of food abroad may face serious obstacles: a rapid increase in global food prices and an uptick in shipping costs.
Following experts' calculations, this year, the delivery of grain and oilseeds by sea costs almost twice as much as last year. Large expenses are associated with the rise in the cost of fuel and the downtime of most ships. Due to the COVID-19 restrictors and additional checkouts, they have to stay in ports more than planned.
Finn Siebell, an economist at National Australia Bank, highlights that transport costs have become a challenge for the economy due to the rising prices of grain crops. Buyers in Asian countries suffered the most, experts emphasize. Notably, these states are the main consumers of agricultural products.
In 2021, the cost of exporting grain from Australia to Southeast Asia doubled to $30 per ton, compared with $15 recorded in 2020. Delivery of such goods from the Pacific Northwest of the United States costs $55 per ton compared to $25 per ton in 2020, and from the Black Sea coast amounts to $65 per ton. Last year, it totaled $35 per ton.
Large spending on cargo transportation has become a serious problem for the authorities of some countries. Constant control over the level of inflation amid a record rise in the cost of food has only aggravated the situation. In May 2021, an uptick in food prices was the highest in the last 10 years.
