New Delhi: To control rising inflation central government is taking big decision to cut excise duty in which, the price of petrol dropped by Rs 9.5 per litre, and Cooking oil prices have also decreased. Since the opening of Indonesia’s exports, the price has dropped.
The liberalisation of exports from Indonesia has had an impact on the country’s market, notwithstanding the rise in edible oil on the international market. The majority of oil-oilseed prices fell last week. As a result, Kachi Ghani mustard oil has decreased in price by Rs 40. This is a significant decrease in the price of edible oil.
The price of mustard seeds declined by Rs 100 per quintal this week compared to the previous week, to Rs 7,515-7,565 per quintal. As a result, mustard Dadri oil declined by Rs 250 per quintal to Rs 15,050. On the other hand, mustard Pakki Ghani and Kachi Ghani oil prices declined by Rs 40 per tin (15 kg) to Rs 2,365-2,445 and Rs 2,405-2,515, respectively.
Despite the rise in overseas markets, soybean grains and soybean loose prices fell, closing at Rs 7,025-7,125 (soybean grain) and Rs 6,725-6,825 per quintal, respectively (soybean loose). Groundnut Solvent Refined was also down Rs 25 per tin, at Rs 2,625-2,815 per tin.
Last week, the price of crude palm oil declined by Rs 500 to Rs 14,850 per quintal, Palmolein Delhi fell by Rs 600 to Rs 16,350, and Palmolein Kandla fell by Rs 520 to Rs 15,200 per quintal due to higher prices in overseas markets.

It's time for one of our favorites. You may remember this delicious Ethiopian coffee from February, but now it's back from a new harvest!
The taste of the coffee is both sweet and fruity with shades of blueberry, bergamot, peach, lemon peel and jasmine. This coffee is grown in the shade of the jungle, which - together with the location and altitude - affects the taste of the coffee. We have worked hard to highlight the inherent Ethiopian flavor nuances with our roasting technique.
Cultivated in the heights
In the Guji zone of the Oromia region of Ethiopia, you will find Sookoo Coffee, a washing station managed by Ture Waji.
The Guji Zone is located in the highlands, which means the climate is colder than what you would normally see. Sookoo Coffee is working to achieve organic certification and make their business more responsible.
Because this coffee is processed naturally, not much water is used at the mill, which minimizes water pollution and benefits both the environment and the population.
Country : Ethiopia
Region : Guji
Coffee variety : Ethiopian Heirloom
Process : Natural
Cultivation altitude : 2300
Autumn : February 2023
Notes : Sweet and fruity with notes of blueberry,
bergamot, peach, lemon peel and jasmine.
We have paid $10.36 per kg for the coffee (FOB).
The market price at the time of the contract was $3.96 per kg.
This means we have paid 162% above the market price for this specific coffee.
Read more about why we pay more for our coffeehere.


so morning coffee includes plant inspection i noticed a white residue on few leafs. immediately discarded and no signs as days follow. any idea? location jackson area of michigan.
White powdery mildew? Spider mite webs? Just a guess without pictures.
You was right wpm
I saw that on the other thread but couldn’t reply. I’m so glad you got it figured out.
Powdery Mildew would be my guess too. It’s getting to be that season of your grow. SaferGro’s "Mildew Cure " is registered for use in your state, and works well in managing that problem.


Summer time is finally here and New York City feels really hot. With temperatures set to soar into the 90s my plants are feeling the negative effects of the heat and I am definitely getting ready to keep them alive and healthy.
Although I grew up surrounded by indoor plants I didn’t know that you need to be especially careful with them during the summer time. Back home it was really easy to take care of them, because the weather is always chilly in my hometown. However, when I moved to New York some years ago, I’ve learned that summer, -as much as winter- is a tough time to indoor plants and you have to make sure they’re getting what they need… (Otherwise they might not survive.)
Anyway, last weekend I went to a short trip out of town and when I came back home I saw both my fittonia plant (Antonia) and my pepper plant (Pepita) with their leaves all withered, almost dead. (I own almost 20 plants but the other ones were totally fine.) Everything happened in just two days, I watered them a day before I leave so I wasn’t expecting them to turn like that.
Even though my plants leaves seemed to be dead I watered them, put them in a fresh spot in my apartment and talked to them (I talk to my plants all the time) lol. To my surprise everything worked; they were looking healthy and beautiful again and the leaves rose in the most beautiful way. So I learned to keep the soil always moist and keep them away from the AC.
While some people have decided just to get rid of withered or brown ish plants, I think it’s important to give them another chance to live and make sure you are giving them the love and care they need.
Other than that, I would love to share some tips to keep your plants beautiful and hydrated during these hot days.
Keep soil moist, but not wet.
Water well and deeply
Water the plant constantly
Use water at room temperature (68F)
Provide them adequate light (avoid direct sunlight)
Shade sensitive plants from too much sun
Recognize stress: sensitive leaves wilt with exposure to too much heat. Also, some leaves might get yellow or brown.
Although I’m not an expert, these tips are working really well to my plants and they look strong and gorgeous. I would love to know more tips, any other recommendations to keep them alive in summer time! I am looking forward to know anything. Thanks in advance.

Here’s a great idea for a preschool/kindergarten which would teach children how to grow their own food. I think this is a phenomenal idea for building a foundation of sustainable living for future generations. Right now we’re too dependent upon the food system we live in now. It’s not practical, it’s unhealthy and most importantly and perhaps most dangerously shortsighted, it’s unsustainable. Here’s a great idea that needs to catch on here in the USA.
We all need to really take a long hard look at our future food supply and how that food is delivered to the table. Teaching our kids the skills they need to grow their own food will make them live more sustainable and ultimately healthier lives.

Image caption: Onions being unloaded from a truck at a wholesale market in Chennai's Koyambedu
New Delhi, Nov 6 (UNI) In view of spiralling prices of onion, the government of India has decided to import the essential commodity from Afghanistan, Egypt, Turkey and Iran.
“Indian missions in four countries of Afghanistan, Egypt, Iran and Turkey will be requested to facilitate supply of Onions to India,” an official source said here.
“This is expected to facilitate immediate import of 80 containers and diversion of 100 containers in high seas to India,” the source said.
Meanwhile, according to sources in the Union Consumer Affairs and Food ministry, two Inter Ministerial teams will be deputed to travel to Karnataka and Rajasthan on Wednesday and Thursday to take stock of their onion supplies and “encourage the supplies to consuming regions including Delhi-NCR”.
Sources also said that the Congress-run Rajasthan government has already assured quick movement of onion stock post harvesting to augment supplies.
The harvesting has already commenced in some areas.
The prices of onions, used as an ingredient in all major Indian dishes, skyrocketed in last two days with some states witnessing a retail price of Rs 90 per kilogram.
While the prices of onions touched Rs 80 per kilogram in September, prices have again shot up due to shortage in supply.
Traders have expressed apprehension that there would further increase spike in onion prices as crops were damaged by the unseasonal rains.


The DeKalb Genetics Corporation, the second-largest seed company in the nation, said today that it was putting itself up for sale, setting the stage for a battle for biotechnology supremacy in agriculture.
Analysts said the most likely buyer would be the Monsanto Company. It is already a major shareholder in DeKalb and has been working with it to genetically transfer such valuable traits as insect and herbicide resistance into important crops like corn and soybeans. Indeed, Monsanto said in a statement today that it was looking forward to bidding for DeKalb.
But many analysts expect any Monsanto bid to face competing bids from other major agrichemical companies, all of which want to develop crops that tolerate their pesticides so that farmers can use them more freely. Developing such tolerance in the laboratory is useless to farmers unless seed companies incorporate such traits in their highest-yielding seed lines.
The Dow Chemical Company, Novartis of Switzerland and Agrevo G.m.b.h., a joint venture of Schering A.G. and Hoechst A.G. of Germany, ''could all go after DeKalb,'' said Bonnie Wittenburg, who follows agribusiness for Dain Bosworth in Minneapolis.Continue reading the main story
Another potential bidder even larger than those multinational giants is Cargill Inc., the privately held Minneapolis conglomerate that has been expanding its seed business in recent years. Other than Monsanto, potential suitors asked to comment on DeKalb all declined.
Shares of DeKalb jumped 63 percent today, or $20.875, to a record high of $54 in heavy trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Still, analysts said the final sale price could easily top $60 a share, based on the $1.7 billion that E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Company paid last year for a 20 percent stake in Pioneer Hi-Bred International Inc., the seed industry leader. That would value DeKalb at more than $2.2 billion.
DeKalb, which is based in DeKalb, Ill., said the decision to sell reflected the estate planning needs of the Roberts family, which founded the company 80 years ago and controls 56 percent of the A shares that have voting power.
''It was time to diversify,'' said Bruce P. Bickner, the chairman and chief executive of DeKalb. ''They could have sold their voting stock for a premium, but they decided not to leave the other shareholders out to dry.''
The family's hand may have been partly forced by the 50 percent tumble in DeKalb's stock from last fall to a low of less than $23 a share early this year. Investors were worried about projected losses this year in DeKalb's swine-breeding business and increased price competition in the seed markets. DeKalb earned $28.8 million on sales of $451.4 million in the fiscal year that ended last Aug. 31.
A sale would highlight the strategic value of DeKalb's seed lines and its experience applying biotechnology to them.
''DeKalb has a long history as a key player and innovator in the seed industry,'' Hendrik A. Verfaillie, president of Monsanto, noted in his company's statement.
Mr. Bickner said, ''We welcome Monsanto's interest, but we also welcome every other bidder,'' adding that interested acquirers would be given ample time to look at the company. It named Merrill Lynch & Company as its investment banker.
The sale comes at an inconvenient time for Monsanto, which holds 10 percent of the A shares and 45 percent of the nonvoting B shares. It had already warned that earnings growth might slow this year and next because of its need to invest more money in developing its agribusiness holdings and in taking several promising drugs at its G. D. Searle subsidiary to market. Monsanto shares fell $1.5625 today, to $51.1875.
Analysts said they would not be surprised if Monsanto, which is based in St. Louis, tried to come up with an early knockout bid.
''Monsanto can't afford to lose DeKalb,'' said Christine McCracken at Bioscience Securities Inc. in Orinda, Calif.
Others said agriculture was evolving far too rapidly to reach such a conclusion. But one thing is clear, said Carrol Bolin, vice president in charge of Pioneer's joint ventures and regulatory affairs: ''The stakes get higher as the consolidation of the industry continues.''Continue reading the main story

Purple grapes, golden raisins, maple syrup, dried apricot
Yagikawa Coop is a group of over 800 small-holder farmers in the Kayanza region of Burundi. This coop was founded in 2007 and is one of the oldest cooperatives in Burundi. In Kirundi, the official language of Burundi, Yagikawa means “Talk About Coffee”. Coffee is delivered in cherry and fermented for 12-18 hours before being dried on raised beds. Drying times from 10-14 days are typical in Kayanza depending on the weather.
In this cup we find punchy notes of purple grape, raisin and maple sweetness and notes of dried apricot.

As featured on AVEBE.com
AVEBE achieved a net profit of 32.1 million euros with a turnover of 595.5 million euros. This represents an increase in the net result of over 60% compared to the previous year (19.8 million euros). The turnover for that year was 565.3 million euros.
Over financial year 2011/2012 AVEBE was on average able to achieve good market prices. The good harvest brought an end to the scarcity of potato starch that marked financial year 2010/2011.


Note: Practically all of the summer growing regions continue to experience hotter and wetter than normal weather conditions. We have reported how the weather has affected the quality and quantity of various commodities throughout the summer. As we get toward the end of the summer season and the fields continue to experience hot and wet weather, the quality and quantity continue to decline and this is putting upward pressure on FOB prices for quality product on practically every commodity. Shelf-life is becoming suspect. Therefore, we suggest that inventories be kept as close as possible. We are also keeping an eye on two eastern tropical storms that are forecasted to hit current and future producing fields in FL, GA and NC within the next several days. We will keep you posted.
Rounds- Supplies in the east continue to be light and fragmented. The hot and rainy weather has caused volume and quality to remain to be spotty. FOB prices remain variable according to quality but all sizes are bringing higher FOB prices this week. We expect quantities to remain light and quality to remain suspect until the fall crops come in which is several weeks away.
Romas- Like the rounds, roma supplies are light and fragmented with a wide range in quality. FOB prices are stronger this week on all sizes by up to $5.
Grapes- FOB prices are higher again this week and quality continues to more variable.
Cherries- Supplies and demand continue to be generally light. FOB prices are up again compared to last week. Quality and shelf-life becoming more variable.
Weather forecast- NC/TN Mountains: Mostly cloudy with a good chance of storms through Thursday. After that, skies will be partly cloudy with cooler temperatures. Highs on Friday and over the weekend will only reach 80 with lows in the upper 50s. Rains from the tropical storms are not expected to reach the mountains. Western SC: Daytime highs on Wednesday and Thursday will be in the low 90s with a good chance of storms on Thursday. Turning cooler and fairer on Friday with highs in the low 80s and lows near 60 through the weekend. Rains from the tropical storms are not expected to reach this growing region.
Rounds- Vine-ripes continue to cross primarily at Baja. Few to none are now crossing at McAllen. CA mature-green growers continue to harvest. Supplies are light with a wide range in quality. FOB prices on the better quality fruit is higher than last week. Quality and shelf-life are variable.
Romas- Supplies continue to come out of Baja and CA. Few to none are currently crossing at McAllen. And like the rounds, quality is extremely variable which is causing a wider than normal range in FOB prices. Prices on quality fruit is higher from last week on all sizes.
Grapes- Product continue to cross mainly out of Baja. Supplies are lighter again this week with a wide range in quality and FOB prices. FOB prices are up substantially for quality product.
Cherries- Supplies continue to be light and prices are generally steady from last week. Quality is fair to good.
Green Bell Pepper
East- Green pepper is the one commodity that is bucking the trend on both coasts. Quality appears to be holding up and FOB prices remain generally steady with some downward pressure compared to last week. We will continue to monitor quality closely.
West- FOB prices remain generally steady with some downward pressures. New fields are coming on-line. Quality thus far remains good.
East- FOB prices are up slightly this week as the growing regions remain fragmented. Quality and shelf-life continues to be suspect due to heat and rain.
West- Supplies and demand remain light. FOB prices are generally steady from last week. We expect supplies to remain tight until mid-September at which time new fields will begin to produce.
East- Like the yellow squash FOB prices are higher this week on both grades and quality is down. We continue to harvest fields in NC, MI and the Northeast.
West- There is upward pressure on FOB prices again this week. Supplies are light.
Green Beans - Market is tightened up this week, demand is still good.
East- Supplies are coming mainly from MI and quality remains only fair due to past rains the fields have experienced. FOB prices are generally steady with upward pressure this week on all sizes and grades. Our eastern NC fall crop should begin by the middle of next week. Hopefully, the wind and rains from the tropical storms will not affect quality from this region and will bring relief from the rising FOB prices.
West- Supplies crossing mainly from Baja and quality is extremely variable. FOB prices are generally steady with some downward pressures on selects. Demand continues to be weak.
East- MI is the main source this week. FOB prices are generally steady on all sizes and grades.
West- FOB prices are lower this week. Quality is good.
East- FOB prices are steady with upward pressure this week.
West- FOB price are generally steady this week.

On May 4th, 2009, seven or so Firefighters from United Fire & Rescue from the Baldwin/Hammond/Woodville area of western Wisconsin arrived with a whole bunch of equipment and promptly began the process of burning off a couple of our fields as a training exercise. We've had a few of these controlled burns before and I can say that these firefighters were certainly up to the task!
The pictures below are a sort of pictoral progress report of the event, which started at about 5:30 PM and finished well after dark.
We had 5 fields to be burned, 40 Acres, 20 Acres, 10 Acres, 5 Acres and 4 Acres. Due to the nature of the spring, that is, too wet, then too dry, too wet again, too windy, etc., they couldn't get at it until just now. But they got the biggest field burned. And then, when I thought they were done for the day, they jumped back in and did the 4 Acre field too. A great bunch of folks!
Things are starting to green up now, so we don't know if we will get the rest of the fields done or not, but last night's well "controlled burn" sure got us off to a good start.
After the burn, and for this season, we harvested a little over 200,000 pounds of hay from these fields. It was one of the coolest summers that we have had in many years.

What are the pros? Easy to grow, tasty, beautiful
What are the cons? none
I love this lettuce! I have had no problems with it at all. The leaves don't get eaten by anything and they grow so easily. I was a little worried they wouldn't do well in the hot Alabama sun, but they are thriving and we're enjoying free salad greens that we know won't get recalled for e. coli. I think these would do well in a pot, too. I've told all my friends about it.
Would you recommend this product to a friend?

The Fruit Company® got its start in 1942 when Roy Webster began selling apples and pears from his orchards located in Hood River, Oregon. The area was perfect for growing fruit thanks to the volcanically enriched soil and glacial water from the nearby Mt. Hood. The fruit was exceptional. The company was passed down from father to son and today is owned and operated by Roy's Grandson Scott Webster.

One of the early challenges we faced as homesteaders was not only learning HOW to garden. We had to learn how much to grow. We also had to learn how to incorporate that produce into weekly menus, and even how to change our eating habits - eating the veggies that are in season and in abundance is a challenge to the cook and can be a real bore for the diner. It's been a few years for us and we're getting used to it. But I found a book that would have been so helpful to us when we were just beginning. "A Garden of Recipes - Planting, Growing, Cooking" by Cynthia Gibson was published in 1999 but I just discovered it yesterday in the local library. I liked it so much, I went out and bought a copy for myself and for my sister. At 29 cents a copy from Amazon's used bookstore, I feel like a robber! The veggies she selected are basic and familiar, and easy to grow. Her recipes are simple, and look easy to build on if you are in the mood to do something more elaborate. She even lists items that can be grown in a windowsill or container garden if that is all you have. She suggests good varieties to grow so if you are inexperienced with gardening, you won't be overwhelmed with the seed catalogs. It's NOT an in depth how to book on gardening, though. You'd have to look for the how-to's elsewhere. I thought it was a really nifty book for beginning homesteaders or gardeners. Or for experienced ones who are struggling a bit getting the stuff from the garden to the table.


The French Embassy, through its fund “Appui à la Société Civile du Sud (SCS), in Cameroon has granted the Environment & Rural Development Foundation (ERuDeF) support to its conservation program in Magha Community Bamumbu Village, SW Cameroon. The grant is to support the Mt Bamboutos Echinops giganteus Project which aims to regenerate and valorize the production of the local plant which has pharmaceutical and essential oil properties. This funding alongside additional funding from Man & Nature will help support for the next 18 months the implementation of the first phase of the Mt Bamboutos Echinops Project. This project will focus on the economic, social, environmental and governance issues on the Lebialem side of Mt Bamboutos. The Mt Bamboutos Echinops Project is the first pilot project to test the implementation of the ABS Initiative of the Nagoya Principle in Cameroon.
Most of the people in Magha-Bamumbu are Farmers and Cattle Rearers whose yearly income stand between 340-930 euros. The community is blessed with natural plants but whose commercial values are never exploited. This support will help the production and commercialization of the Echinops giganteus and help boost the incomes of the people. Equally, the Mt Bamboutos has been facing massive deforestation and poor agricultural practices. This has led to massive degradation of the soil which caused a massive landslide in Magha-Bamumbu in 2003 claiming more than 20 lives. The Echinops project is therefore bringing in a new source of revenue through the creation of a cooperative: MoBECoS (Mount Bamboutos Echinops Co-operative Society) to permit villagers have equal benefit sharing from the exploitation of Echinops giganteus. The provision of modern bee-hives to the local population who are already involved in traditional bee-keeping will also help to boost the income of the people. The reforestation of Magha-Bamumbu will help in regenerating the soil thereby avoiding erosions and landslides. It will also contribute to protect the water catchments of the area.


«Starokostiantynivcukor» LLC, one of the most powerful sugar refineries in Ukraine, began sugar-refining campaign.
It is reported by the company on its Facebook-page.
«Starokostiantynivcukor» LLC is a modern enterprise, one of the leaders of Ukrainian sugar industry. The sugar refinery is part of «A`SPIK Group», which unites agricultural and sugar enterprises of the region.
On average, Starokostiantyniv sugar refinery processes 4,200 tonnes of beet roots per day. And the total capacity of «Starokostiantynivcukor» LLC amounts to 4,500 tonnes per day.
The quality indicators of the region's sweet gold are controlled not only by the refinery's laboratory and the state laboratory, but also by consumers. The fact that the extremely demanding brands Coca-Cola, ROSHEN, RUD, BIOLA chose Starokostiantyniv sugar for their own production guarantees the sucrose content over 99,8%.
Starokostiantyniv sugar refinery is more than 120 years old and has undergone a revolutionary modernization in the last 5 years. Now it is one of the best in Ukraine and Europe. Each stage of sugar production is clearly set up and confirmed by many years of high performance in order to produce only high-quality sweet products for consumers. And a professional approach to all sugar production processes is one of the most important secrets of sugar producers' success.


A small group’s dream of opening a community garden in Lewes is getting closer to reality.
The city’s parks and recreation commission unanimously voted to recommend the city enter into an agreement with the group to build a community garden in Great Marsh Park on Park Road behind the Lewes Unleashed dog park.
“Our experience with other gardens is that once we get started, they have a wait list,” said Cathy Harris, founder of Lewes Community Gardens. “That’s what we’re hoping for here. If we could just get a start somewhere, a foothold …”
Harris formed the group in 2016 after retiring. She said the idea spawned from a conversation she had with a neighbor.
“I was bemoaning the fact that there isn’t a community garden within 30 miles of here,” she said. “He said he was interested too, but couldn’t find others that were interested.”
The group has added new members in the last two years, but it still remains a small group. The Greater Lewes Foundation is managing the money they’ve collected so far.
“Once we get more people, we would become our own nonprofit,” Harris said.
The conceptual plan is to build 12 raised beds to start; there is plenty of room for growth at the proposed location. Each bed is 4 feet by 12 feet. The gardens would be surrounded by 8-foot deer fence, and the group would tap into the Lewes Board of Public Works’ system for water.
Parks and Rec Commissioner Lou Papp is working with the group to develop a plan and estimates the initial work would cost about $12,000.
Harris anticipates members would pay a yearly membership of $25 to $30, and the group would seek grants to offset the rest of the costs of water and monthly maintenance.
Group member Michael Whitehouse said the purpose of the community garden effort is to bring people together.
“We all have gardens,” he said. “Many of us have been gardeners our entire lives. This is about sharing and giving and community building.”
In addition to access to better soil, raised beds also provide opportunities for senior citizens to be involved with the gardens.
Parks and Rec Commissioner Warren Golde said he has some familiarity with the community gardens at East Coast Garden Center, and he predicted a similar project in Lewes would gain great interest.
“I have no doubt this would be successful,” he said. “I know people in my development who could probably fill the whole thing up.”
Parks and Rec Commissioner Mardi Thompson said the proposed project is a great use of the space and that it likely would not take a lot of work to prep the area for the gardens. Her only request of the group was to provide the city with a more detailed plan, showing the precise location of every bed and element of the garden. She said she believes that would better prepare the gardens for future growth as well as potential partnership with the city.
The community garden group meets from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., the first Wednesday of every month at the Lewes Public Library. Due to the Fourth of July holiday, the July meeting will be held Wednesday, July 11. For more information, email firstname.lastname@example.org.

We rejoiced last year about this time when we were able to finally plant seed in the back yard.
We hollered even louder when the tiny blades of grass made their first appearances.
But the back yard isn't really done yet. We still have rows of planters waiting for plants. We still have little projects planned here and there.
But yesterday one of those projects got crossed off the list. We started this herb project a little while ago. We bought the pots, filled them with seed, and watched them grow. They grew and grew. Then over the winter some died.
Yesterday Greg finished building the shelf on which they are supposed to sit. We'll put flowers, or something pretty underneath the shelf.
I did not help with this project because I was busy getting my hair "stained" and cut. Heather helped Daddy with this project. She held the boards while he screwed them together. Daddy said she was a good little helper. She alternately helped and rode her bike & scooter ~ all while still in her Halloween-theme pajamas. Hey ~ we rock over here.


2013 NAP SALES CLOSING DATE
NAP stands for Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program. This program is like crop insurance for your noninsurable crops, particularly grass for hay and grazing. Because of the lack of moisture we have experienced, this may be a program producers may want to consider for this year. If you were previously enrolled, NAP fees must be paid by the deadline for a continuous contract.
The sales closing date for all spring seeded crops & perennial forage is March 15, 2013.
The authority to begin the 2013 DCP and ACRE signup is the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. This act extended the provisions of the previous Farm Bill for crop year 2013.
Signup for the DCP/ACRE program is continuing. Please call the office for your appointment to enroll your farms for the 2013 crop year. In preparing for the signup, producers must make sure that all changes have been reported to the FSA office, so that records can be updated prior to enrolling in the DCP/ACRE programs.
Reporting Land Changes – Producers should also report to FSA whenever any changes are made to your farming structure. This includes additional land being purchased or leased for 2013. Farm records will need to be updated in the office prior to any signup being conducted for the 2013 programs. Also, if changes are being made to the status of payment entity, i.e. changing from an individual to a corporation, a trust or an LLC, this information should be reported.


A field of bright yellow canola is a pretty sight, although most people don’t know what it is when they see it. The terms canola and rapeseed are often used interchangeably, but they aren’t the same crop.
Canola is essentially improved rapeseed. Rapeseed contains high levels of certain compounds that make it unpalatable to livestock. In the early 1970s, after improving the palatability, oil quality and protein level, the crop became known as canola. To be called canola, the crop must test below established levels for erucic acid and glucosinolates; the two undesirable compounds in rapeseed. The term ‘canola’ comes from the term ‘Canadian oil’.

Stocks continue to be cleared from stores this week and growers report that trade has remained steady with no significant fluctuation since Christmas. Price and demand for Kerr Pinks in particular are holding very well for good quality material. Early plantings commenced last week on lighter soils in counties Louth and Wexford, however, poor weather conditions this week will have halted progress.
Early plantings have commenced in the U.K. also with progress described as ‘just about’ on schedule. Difficult weather conditions will most likely halt progress.
Across Europe, exports continue to the Canaries and prices remain firm, however, buyers are finding it difficult to source the desired quality. In Poland production has been revised at 13% lower than last year and it is thought that there will be a strong demand for imports later in the season.

The Spanish clementine and mandarin campaign is already in its second phase, following the end of the Clemenules and Clemenvilla seasons, which has given way to the arrival of the Hernandina variety and the first Tango and Nadorcott, among other protected varieties. Meanwhile, the last Navelina oranges have hit the market and the Navel, Lane and Salustiana are starting to be harvested.
On the left, César Claramonte, manager of Clasol.
In general, Spain has had a great production of oranges this year, and given the high fruit load on the trees, the calibers are mostly small, with an abundance of sizes 6, 7 and 8. "This is something that has happened with the Navelinas and also with the Navel or the Lane, and even more with the Salustianas that we are harvesting right now. The problem affects practically all varieties," says César Claramonte, Clasol's manager.
"There are so many oranges this year that prices at origin have collapsed, taking into account that the demand also seems to be lower than in previous years, and that third countries, such as Egypt, are competing more strongly in Eastern markets and, collaterally, also in Central Europe. Large-sized oranges are reaching good prices, since they are very scarce, while the price of medium-sized oranges is already low, and small sizes are not even covering the harvesting costs. The amounts of large and small sizes won't allow us to reach decent average prices."
"There are going to be two clear categories of Tango and Nadorcott mandarins"
"On the clementine and mandarin front, prices have been good for the Clemenules and I think we can all be happy, although the demand dropped a bit due to the high prices. Clemenules volumes have been much lower due to the impact of the 'cotonet', and the Clemenvilla has suffered Alternaria problems, so the Nadorcott and Tango harvests have been brought forward. These are already being marketed for the premium lines, while the Hernandina clementine is being used for the standard lines."
"The Tango and Nadorcott yields are very high this year, so, as in the case of oranges, small sizes 4 and 5 will abound. Also, we will deal with tough competition from Morocco, which is supplying a lot of Afourer (Nadorcott) and setting very low prices. In destinations such as France, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands it will be difficult to compete with Moroccan mandarins. Even in Germany, where Spanish mandarins have always dominated, we are starting to see some promotions of Moroccan fruit," says César Claramonte.
"In fact, the large volumes of Tango and Nadorcott this year are already causing selling prices to be 15 to 20 cents lower than last season, even though production and logistics costs have risen, so margins will be tight. I believe, therefore, that there will be two clear categories of Nadorcott and Tango mandarins: one of good-sized, quality fruit for packing, trays, etc., which will reach very good prices; and another of medium and small sizes with very low prices."
The Borriana-based company from Castellon ships most of its citrus to central and northern European markets and has expanded this year to new markets in Scandinavian countries. "We are selling greater citrus volumes this year, although at tighter prices. We also expect to increase our stone fruit sales, after expanding and adapting our facilities in Calasparra, Murcia, so that we can start strong in April."

It was so mild and spring-like this morning, but now the wind is just whipping through the trees. I had thawed steaks to grill tonight, but I think we'd better wait for a nicer day (it's hard to get the grill hot enough when it's this windy!).
Another (heart) plant is Love-in-a-puff, a vine with pretty leaves and seed pods that look like little green balloons... and the seeds are really neat, little black balls marked with -- truly! -- white hearts. Cardiospermum halicacabumhttp://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/648/
I need to dig out a few seeds and sow them again this year to grow with my morning glories. They'll reseed, so I haven't planted them on purpose for several years, but I don't think I saw any out there last summer.

There are many ways to build a raised bed Square Foot Garden outside your tiny house. I built my first raised bed Square Foot Garden from 2×6 pine boards measuring 4 feet wide and 8 feet long, held together with galvanized screws. My raised beds served me well for many years, with very little weathering.
Cedar boards are naturally decay resistant, but will certainly increase the cost of your project. Less expensive raised bed Square Foot Gardens can be made from cement blocks, used bricks, rocks, pine logs, or woven willow.
Avoid the use of wood such as railroad ties, pressure treated wood, and used pallets, as as toxins may leach into the soil, be taken into the plant through its roots, and may be consumed by you and your loved ones.
Experience and an aging body have taught me that when I build raised beds for my tiny house Square Foot Garden, they will measure 3 feet wide, instead of 4 feet wide, and at least 12 inches in height, so that I do not have to stretch as far, kneel, or stoop so low to the ground.
Furthermore, a preemptive layer of vole-proof mesh stapled to the bottom of each raised bed before filling with soil would prevent winter peas from being chewed to stubs. Although not good climbers, voles are expert tunnelers, and they have voracious appetites.
The M Brace offers an additional method of creating a raised bed Square Foot Garden that is as portable as your tiny house. Designed for a level surface, the M Brace makes it possible for even a child to assemble a raised bed Square Foot Garden in a few minutes, using pre-cut lumber. Should the need ever arise to disassemble your raised beds and take them with you, they can be torn apart as easily as they are assembled. The soil could be transported in a tarp, or thinly spread at the current site and replaced at reassembly.
Made in the USA from 100% recycled steel, with many designs to choose from, the M Brace will rust to a lovely patina, creating beautiful and playful art for your garden.

An all-inclusive weekend at the Villa Barone, a sustainable farm and organic olive orchard in Lake County, CA. This is a family oriented weekend excursion to learn about "where your food comes from". A relaxing, educational, adventure into farming and food.....
The Villa Barone is just 2.5 hrs from the San Francisco Bay Area. Situated on a 160 acres of oak studded rolling hills. The property is a sustainable farm and organic olive orchard. The Lake County Farm adventure is a weekend getaway, back to nature and living sustainably. It is a safe, educational, kid friendly environment.
This is a full immersion weekend. We will work, play and dine together. All food and beverage are included (except alcohol). We will dine on what we grow or what's available at the local farmers market, A class in either cheese making, soap making or jam making is included and varies depending upon availability. Arrival is Friday afternoon (3pm) and departure is Sunday 12 noon.
The experience is designed to have quality family time and get re-acquainted with a simpler life style while learning about raising your food in a healthy setting. Activities vary by season, here are some highlights of what to expect.
- March & April: Most of the kids and lambs are born at the end of March and all through April and sometimes into early May. Watching a baby goat or lamb being born is a one in a life time experience. If you are fortunate enough to be here when it happens you will never forget it. Even if you miss the birth there are typically several young kids and sheep that you will see nursing and will be able to hold. The weather is mild, the hills are still green and the air is full of new life emerging.
- May & June: The farm is full of young arrivals and the garden is starting to yield. The bees have come out of hibernation and are busy pollinating all the flowers. The last of the green is receding from the hills and every day is warm and shorts are in order.
- July - September: It's goat milking time. We milk the goats once a day and it doesn't take long to collect a gallon or two of milk. After we filter and cool the milk, you will get to taste fresh milk. Visitors during this time can make fresh goat cheese and homemade custard or ice cream. The garden is in full swing, so we will spend time picking tomatoes and other goodies for the night's dinner. This is the hot season in Lake County and you can expect temperatures consistently in the 80's & 90's
- September: Honey harvest takes place in September. While we can't guarantee exactly when the harvest will take place, we can go into the bee box and see the frames full of honey and learn all about the busy and hardworking honey bees. Of course there is always some honey on hand that we can taste. It is still quite warm in September. You will be guided throughout your stay.

single vineyard in the municipality of Hallgarten in the German wine-growing region of Rheingau. Most likely, the Cistercian monks of the Eberbach monastery gave the name in honour of the Holy Virgin Mary. The vineyards, which are oriented from southeast to southwest at an altitude of 170 to 210 metres above sea level with a slope of 5 to 15%, cover almost 70 hectares of vineyards. The large area was created in the course of land consolidation in 1971 by merging several small vineyards. The best area is the former Original Jungfer, which lies in a conical depression and is thus very well protected from the wind. The easily heated, deep soils consist of sandy loess loam and brown earth with a high quartzite content. The Riesling variety is mainly cultivated here. The Ankermühle, Bibo & Runge, Fürst Löwenstein, Georg Müller Stiftung, Nikolai Heinz, Kühn Peter Jakob, Prinz Fred and Rothenbach Fritz wineries, for example, have shares in the site. There are other single vineyards with the name Jungfer in Hattenheim (Rheingau) and Lauffen (Württemberg).
The Wine lexicon helps me to stay up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to visit more often.Thorsten Rahn

Just a quick note to let folks know that Bennet and Katherine who offer their Asterlane bread at the farm will also have honey from their bees for sale. You can place an order through their normal bread ordering process, but I will also have a few jars on hand at the CSA pick-up.
Slight modification on my last message. We still have an abundance of tomatoes, though not for long. If anyone would like more canning tomatoes they are still available for $15/half bushel and $30/bushel. Please let me know soon. Some could be available even at tomorrow’s CSA. Also, Shiying has offered pastured pork (3 types of sausage and bacon) which I have available at the farm. We still have roasts from our own pigs available too. Shiying’s whole chicken and breasts are still available at the farm too.
The space previously reserved for apprentices has been changed to a Bed and Breakfast. A new page has been set up for it here on the website. If you know anyone looking for a farmy place to stay, have them contact us.
Many of you may have seen the farm’s Facebook posting that our lead horse, Molly, passed away of a stroke on the May long weekend. She is pictured working on the post farther down this page. This has created an urgent need for a new horse on the farm, as I am only set up to make beds for planting with the horses. A new horse will arrive today, but the farm cannot afford the unexpected Capital Cost right now. I’m putting out a call for folks to make a Capital Contribution if they have not already, and perhaps contributing a bit more if they have, and are able to. I have written a quick 2 page newsletter giving more details which you can find on the “Newsletters” page. I’ve also posted the 2017 cash flow summary to put the capital needs in perspective. There is some important information in the newsletter, and I apologize for springing this out so fast, but this is the busiest time of year for the farm. Thank you.
I’m getting a bunch of questions about the first pick-up… well, if you all ate grass I could have a pick-up tomorrow. Please remember, although it feels like summer now, vegetables don’t instantly pop out of the ground the moment it is warm. April was like February this year and this was the first year in the 21 years I have been farming here that I was not able to work the ground initially in April. This is still the end of May… I do not expect the first pick up to be any earlier than the third week of June… and it likely will be later than that. The first lettuces and kale are only two inches tall… the first scallions look like hairs growing out of the ground, and this is normal, or slightly late for this time of year. The first carrots, beets, peas and radishes have all germinated and are looking good… but they are only just starting to grow… please be patient. Because of the unprecedented weather pattern this spring, I’m not able to predict the first pick-up date for at least a couple more weeks. Keep posted, I’ll let you know as soon as I know!
Was finally able to get the first crops in the ground today! It is the latest spring I have experienced, but that shouldn’t mean late harvests… it just means we have to get more done in a shorter period of time! And for those Winter Shares who wanted kale, you could come and get it next week. As I kind of expected, with all the freezing and thawing, it is trying to go to flower before making big leaves, so it’s not lots, but if you are driving by, you could pick some up, just let me know when.
There are still plenty of shares available for this coming 2018 main season CSA. See the CSA Economics page for share sizes and prices, or contact me for more information. Also, those of you who usually get eggs from the farm let me know when you want to come by for your eggs, as they are piling up… As you can see, the chickens are so ready to lay, they are crowding the boxes!

Probably not. Anyohw try it without. Are there some in the rolls now, and these are extra?
If you get too aggressive with the pegs, it'll shell out some corn. For feeding cattle, a few leaves on the corn isn't a bad thing.
So, depends on what you are trying to get out of the deal I guess.


Answer: Gazania plants usually bloom non-stop over the summer months so I'm not sure what is happening with yours. Sometimes too much nitrogen fertilizer can cause them to stop flowering, as can too little sunshine. Hold off on fertilizer, make sure they are in a hot and sunny spot and they should begin flowering again in a few weeks. Enjoy!

The easiest way the most effective Lawn Care Company Miami landscaping
You may be a seasoned gardener, or simply a home-owner planning to increase your charm of the entrance, this information will assist you to find the absolute best lawn service available to you. Now could be the most crucial here we are at lawn care. In case you are unsure about what form of company to engage, here's some surefire tips to enable you to get going.
Ensure that the company you're utilizing offers free service calls. Most herbicides enjoy a 2 week residual. In case a business is treating 4-7 times 12 months, there'll be lots of opportunities for new weeds in the future in. Make sure that your lawn agency covers various different kinds of weeds. Some companies charge extra for weeds like crabgrass and nutgrass. Be sure that your company uses granular fertilizer. Liquid fertilizer is easy to water down. With granular, you will see precisely what installed down. Miami lawn mower Ensure that your company is private owned. Publicly owned companies hold the burden of producing profit for their shareholders, while privately operated companies can focus on their potential customers. DONT GET Cheated! A typical 5,000 square foot yard should run about $50 for every treatment. A great way to determine the quality of service you'll get is usually to call the company on the phone and discover how many buttons you will need to press to acquire a real person on the mobile phone. It doesn't apply to many of the bigger companies because you never obtain a real person on the mobile phone.
Make sure your company offers a pre-emergent. Pre-emergent weed control stops grassy weeds from germinating in the year. Lacking an effective pre-emergent, you will be fighting crabgrass all through the year. Be sure they're treating for turf pests. Army worms, sod web worm, chinch bugs, and any others which will chew up your grass.
Be sure that your company offers seeding. Despite having the right fertilizer with an efficient weed control process, seeding will likely be required for some yards to look their best. That is certainly it! With a little caution, you should have a great lawn service company! Miami lawn mower Being a side note, you'll likely desire to go with a local company. Lawns are different from site to site and only a local company can give you the customized results you are looking for. Also, apparently a lot of the large corporate publication rack unwilling to go that step further whenever a problem does appear.

It's all about Gardening, Culture and Green Living
Interesting variety of shapes.
Ooh yes! Very interesting. I haven't seen that bottom one before or the cherries. We enjoy eating interesting fruits when we're on holiday
Yes, they are tropical fruits.
Beautiful harvest Endah, saya suka buah srikaya tu...baru tanam beberapa pokok. Entah bila akan berbuah
So delicious, so aromatic!
Nice harvest from little place!
Thank you, Malar.
Interesting fruit you have Endah, I know the star fruit and passion fruit of course, but Annona squamosal is completely new to me – I had to look it up. Over here it is often called sugar apple and can grow well if the weather is hot enough. Sadly the British summer would not be hot enough - for long enough :-)
I think, These tropical fruits love our garden. I'm so happy to see them, Helene.


Blueberries are a quintessential summer fruit that has been cherished for centuries. The delicately sweet, yet tangy flavor of a plump juicy blueberry on the tongue is always a welcome sight. Blueberries have been recognized for being a powerhouse of nutrients, which include antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber. This article explores the journey of blueberries from the fields to your kitchen and how it can be incorporated into your daily meals. Let us dive in!
The harvesting season of blueberries starts in July and runs through until the end of August. Harvesting blueberries is a labor-intensive task, and most farmers opt for handpicking as it is a more delicate and efficient way to pick them. The blueberries are placed in a container and carefully transported to the processing facility. The blueberries are then sorted, washed, and packed in punnets until they reach the consumer.
When purchasing blueberries, it is important to look out for firm, plump, and smooth-skinned berries. Avoid berries with shriveled or soft skins or with any signs of mold. Always store blueberries in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator until it’s time to use them.
Using Blueberries in Your Meals
Blueberries are versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes. Apart from snacking on them raw, blueberries make great additions to breakfast bowls, muffins, pancakes, and smoothies. They can also be used in savory dishes such as salads, sauces, and marinades.
Here is a list of some creative ways to use blueberries:
- Blueberry smoothie — blend frozen blueberries, Greek yogurt, banana, and almond milk to create a delicious and healthy smoothie.
- Blueberry BBQ sauce — combine blueberries, ketchup, brown sugar, and vinegar to create a tangy and fruity BBQ sauce.
- Blueberry salad — combine arugula, crumbled feta cheese, blueberries, and homemade vinaigrette for a refreshing salad.
- Blueberry oatmeal — add blueberries to your morning oatmeal for a boost of antioxidants and flavor.
- Blueberry muffins — bake a batch of blueberry muffins for a quick and easy snack or breakfast.
From the field to your kitchen, blueberries are a treat that can be enjoyed all year round. They are not only delicious but also pack a nutritional punch. Whether eaten on their own or incorporated into your daily meals, blueberries are a tasty way to stay healthy. So, go ahead and experiment with different ways to use blueberries, and let us know which one is your favorite!
Dr. Sarah Smith is a blueberry expert and author of BlueberryExpert.com. She has been growing and studying blueberries for over 20 years. Her research has focused on the different varieties, growing techniques, and nutritional content of blueberries. She is passionate about helping people to grow their own healthy blueberries and has been a leader in the industry for many years.


Great all round
Brilliant machine excellent for the allotment. Goes like a train through the veg patches. Started on first pull. Saved us hours and hours if prep time and saved our backs too! For first run it can skip about on baked soil but the sharp blades cut through quickly giving a more controlled movement.
Perhaps instruction book could do with an update giving clearer assembly and oil drain-plug location but easy enough to work out.
After sales support excellent. Needed a replacement part due to carriage damage and this was sent by 1st class post immediately. Highly recommended.


Seedsman Joe Stanger discusses how he uses Climate FieldView ™ when he completes his Field Check Up Series visits with his growers.
The mapping technology of FieldViewTM makes scouting visits more efficient.
- Growers can share their FIeldView data with their seedsmen, allowing more time for their seedsmen to be in the field since they’ll know what product is already planted.
How do you use Climate FieldView™ when you are completing Field Check Up Series visits with your farmers?
Well, Field Checkup Series is just the seedsman and either by ourselves or with a grower, just getting out in the fields and checking them throughout the season. We're looking for different pests or issues that may have come up. Or hopefully, we're just giving it a grade A report card, right? And the mapping technology from FieldView is going to make me more efficient in those scouting visits because I will know the product that's planted in that field if that particular grower's a FieldView user, and he shared his data with me. Then I might not have to drag him away from whatever he's doing to look at those fields. So I'll be able to cut down on the time chasing him down, and spend more time in the field.


Armadillo-related proteins promote lateral root development in Arabidopsis
Research output: Contribution to journal › Article
Colleges, School and Institutes
Armadillo/beta-catenin and related proteins have important functions during animal and Dictyostelium development, regulating cell differentiation, proliferation, and adhesion. Armadillo-repeat-containing proteins also exist in plants, but the majority have unknown roles. The Arabidopsis genes that show greatest sequence homology to Armadillo/beta-catenin are called ARABIDILLO-1 and -2. Here, we demonstrate that ARABIDILLO-1 and -2 promote lateral root development. arabidillo-1/-2 mutants form fewer lateral roots, and ARABIDILLO-1-overexpressing lines produce more lateral roots than wild-type seedlings. ARABIDILLO-yellow fluorescent protein fusions are nuclear. ARABIDILLO proteins contain an F-box motif, and thus may target other proteins for proteasomal degradation. Overexpression of ARABIDILLO-1 protein fragments, including F-box fragments, in wild-type seedlings reduces lateral root formation to the level of the arabidillo-1/-2 mutant. We have shown that plant beta-catenin-related proteins regulate root development. We suggest that ARABIDILLO proteins may target an inhibitor of lateral root development for degradation and propose that Arabidopsis beta-catenin-related proteins define a previously uncharacterized pathway that promotes root branching.
