|A meeting between a Vietnamese government delegation and the Nigeria-Vietnam Entrepreneurs Association in Abuja, Nigeria. — VOV Photo|
ABUJA — Nigeria looked forward to working together with Việt Nam, especially in the fields of agriculture, machinery and information technology, said Sani Bako, president of the Nigeria-Vietnam Entrepreneurs Association.
He made the statement during a meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Vương Đình Huệ in Abuja, the country’s capital, on Tuesday.
Bako, who served as the republic’s first ambassador to Việt Nam in 2007, said he held Việt Nam’s numerous and important achievements in development in high regard.
He said the deputy PM’s visit was a milestone in the two countries’ diplomatic and economic relationship.
With support from the Nigerian government and the embassy of Việt Nam in Nigeria, the association planned to send a high-ranking delegation to attend the HCM City International Expo in December. The delegation would also hold working sessions with the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) as well as Vietnamese businesses.
Deputy PM Huệ said Việt Nam welcomed Nigerian businesses and the formation of the Nigeria-Vietnam Entrepreneurs Association. He asked the association to step up co-operation with the VCCI to promote Việt Nam’s businesses and images in Nigeria and West Africa.
Huệ said there was great potential for co-operation in cashew cultivation, a major industry in both countries. Việt Nam was looking to increase its exports to Nigeria and to import more Nigerian goods to ensure trade remained balanced between the two sides, he added.
The deputy PM asked the association to support Vietnamese rice and coffee, which faced a 60 per cent import tax. Huệ said Vietnamese agricultural products, along with co-operation among Vietnamese and Nigerian businesses, could help produce major value chains.
He suggested a direct flight between Việt Nam and Nigeria be established in the near future to help facilitate trade and co-operation.
Nigerian business leaders urged Vietnamese businesses to make more investments in cashew and woodwork factories as well as the petro industry to tap Nigeria’s oil reserves which were the largest among African countries. - VNS


When our family moved to our little 10 acre patch of land. We were happy as could be to have inherited an overgrown Raspberry and Blackberry patch.
This was no little patch by any means. It extends clear across the backside of the barnyard and over the other way to edge of the side field.
The raspberries and blackberries had once been their own separate patches. Now they are all tangled to make a rather formidable barrier for us pickers. We moved here at the tail end of the berry season. So we left the patch alone as there were so many other things that needed our attention before winter came.
Last summer I was able to finally tackle some of it. I spent several days getting scratches. and tangled up in that thorny jungle. I made my way into the patch from north to south with a string of twine, trying to sort out that hot mess. I had managed to corral about three foot wide rows. untangling the canes as I went.
When I wasn’t out working to establish paths of sorts I was out collecting the berries. Even with help of my friend and the kids here and there we never put a dent in the patch and we were well above 20 quarts.
The blackberries were the worst to deal with, with their vicious thorns. I swear they would take chunks from your flesh, forget merely scratching you. There where still a ton of berries on the canes and I had to leave them.
Haying season came on and being very short handed that pretty much ended the berry season for me. I could only be in so many places at once.
So here it is our second spring and I am once again preparing to tackle the patch. I may have gotten about half way through last year, so it is my hope to get the rest of the way through it this year.
If the chance arises this year. I will work towards transplanting what I can in order to establish another patch. I have a future goal set to sell young plants at the flea market and the produce auction in our area. So creating a new patch with that purpose in mind will hopefully help me to gain some organization here.


The US House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed the much anticipated 2018 Farm Bill, which now awaits (this is still so hard to write) President Trump’s signature. As many of you are no doubt aware, the new Farm Bill makes some serious changes to the industrial hemp provisions of the 2014 Farm Bill. Whereas the 2014 Farm Bill “legalized” industrial hemp under very specific – yet also very vague – circumstances, and the DEA begged, borrowed, and stole its way into contradicting the plain face of the bill at every turn, the 2018 Farm Bill takes industrial hemp out of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), altogether, and blessedly out of the DEA’s purview.
Here are some key provisions in the new Farm Bill all current and future industrial hemp industry stakeholders should know:
- Removes “industrial hemp” from the CSA’s definitions of “marijuana” and “THC.”
- Retains the 2014 Farm Bill’s definition of “industrial hemp” with a few key improvements – “the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant, including the seeds thereof and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, whether growing or not, with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis.”
- Places federal regulation of industrial hemp solely under the purview of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).
- Provides for states and Native American tribes who wish to regulate their own industrial hemp programs to submit a proposal to the USDA Secretary for approval.
- States without approved industrial hemp programs will be subject to federal regulations promulgated by the USDA Secretary.
- Specifically allows for interstate commerce in federally compliant industrial hemp and prohibits states from outlawing transportation of federally compliant industrial hemp within their state.
- Does allow for states to pass more restrictive regulation of industrial hemp than federal regulations.
- Specifically states that 2018 Farm Bill passage does not affect or modify FDA’s regulations or guidelines on industrial hemp.
- Leaves current state industrial hemp agricultural pilot programs in effect until one year after the USDA Secretary establishes a federal regulatory plan.
Note the last two bullet points. Although the 2018 Farm Bill fully removes industrial hemp from the CSA, it explicitly leaves the FDA’s ability to regulate it. This includes FDA’s current prohibition on: (1) the addition of hemp-derived CBD to food; (2) marketing CBD as a “dietary supplement”; and making any health claims about CBD products. My inclination is that the FDA may take more aggressive actions after the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill. The Bill also specifically allows the USDA to share information on licensed hemp producers with other federal agencies, including law enforcement. Also, note that the current state industrial hemp programs will remain in effect for at least a year, so all industrial hemp activities must conform with the applicable and current state law.
Please feel free to contact our industrial hemp experts if you have any questions and look out for future posts on this dynamic and everchanging subject!

|Amber Waves Ninebark shrub, newly planted, needs extra water to get established.|
It is one of THE most vexing of garden dilemmas: Is my plant in distress because I am over or under watering it? Is it dry or is it drunk?
Particularly given that so many problems...over and under watering, transplant shock, leaf scorch, nutrient deficiencies....can all mimic one another. Wickedly hot and dry summers make it all the more likely that we might literally kill our plants with kindness by giving them more water than is good for them. I am as guilty as anyone of this practice! So let's review some of the signs and symptoms of over and under watering.
|Espaliered apple tree leaves yellow and then drop from the shock of moving it from its nursery location to its new home at my house. New healthy growth indicates adequate moisture.|
|Mulch both pots and beds to hold in moisture. Gravel is an effective and good looking option.|
SIGNS OF UNDER WATERING
1. Leaves may yellow, brown and drop. Tips of leaves may brown and have a 'crunchy' feel.
2. Check the soil for moisture an inch or so below the surface. If dry, plants need more water. After watering deeply and slowly, leaves should regain their rigidity and the plant revive.
3. Foliage may be wilted or distressed, but there is healthy new growth on the plant itself.
4. Leaves may curl and turn bluish gray and/or pale. Glossy foliage may lose its luster.
5. Soil of potted plants may retract from the edges leaving a void between sides and root ball. Water drains through without being absorbed by the soil and plant. Deep water from the bottom by setting plant in bucket of water until completely saturated. REMEMBER TO REMOVE AFTER DOING SO!
|A dry stand of vinca minor. Leaves are beginning to curl and lose their shine.|
|Foliage from a fig tree leaf shows signs of needing more water with brown tips and curling foliage. However with moisture, new growth is evident and plant rebounds (images above).|
Remember, plants located in areas with high exposure to wind and sun for long periods of time will need additional moisture. Also remember that this exposure will change as the season ages and the sun gets lower and lower in the sky. What was previously in shade may now be in sun and vice verse.
|Lower leaves show brown and 'crispy' foliage, but there is healthy new growth. Both signs that this shrub needs more water.|
SIGNS OF OVER WATERING
1. Leaves are drooping and plant looks wilted even though it appears to have enough water.
2. Like under watered plants, leaves may yellow, turn brown, and both new and old leaves drop. Unlike the CRISPY brown foliage on under watered foliage, over watered foliage that is yellow or brown will feel LIMP and SOFT.
3. Plants in pots showing signs of over watering may have a clogged drainage hole. If so, check to make certain the container has adequate drainage.
4. Stunted or no growth.
5. Over watered plants may have soggy, 'smelly' soil with possible mossy growth near plant.
You can go here
to see images of overwatered plants and see if the symptoms you are experiencing resemble the appearance of these specimens. Please note: many of these example will be of cannabis (aka, 'pot' or marijuana) foliage.... apparently an issue with those who grow it. :)
|This boxwood is beginning to yellow and look distressed despite receiving the same about of water as similar containers. Sure enough, a clogged drainage hole was the culprit. Notice its foliage in comparison to the healthy boxwood below.|
|Limp foliage of a trailer that has been over watered from the same clogged drainage hole.|
CORRECTION: I misspoke and said LC's newly planted Rose of Sharon shrubs were underwatered...meant to say OVER WATERED. I clarified this with her...and now with you. :)
I blame it on live tv and cilantro stuck in my teeth.

9 Olive Tree
The olive tree (Olea europaea) is a native of the Mediterranean region. It requires very specific soil conditions.
Attempts made to cultivate the trees in New Zealand have met with varying success. Trees that revert to the wild often have very small fruit with very little flesh and large stones, (pits). Therefore they are not viable as a food source. The tree in the front garden, (and a younger tree in the rear garden, between the sheoak and totara trees), both exhibit that tendency and can be considered to have reverted.
Even though the Williams House trees are not producing viable fruit, they are nonetheless excellent specimens as ornamental trees. The down side of this is that the smaller fruit and seeds are easily spread by native birds attracted to the fruit.
So far this has not caused major problems in New Zealand. However, in some parts of Australia such trees threaten the stability of the native fauna, both from competition for sapce and nutrients as well as the high oil content of the foliage posing a danger during bushfires.


New Delhi: Soymeal exporters are likely to take a hit of Rs40-50 crore in profit margins during 2006-07 season ending September due to the rise in rupee value against the dollar, an industry official said.
“Last year, we exported soymeal worth Rs3,720 crore ($9 million). But this year there will be an erosion of about Rs40-50 crore in profit due to rupee appreciation,” Soyabean Processors’ Association of India spokesperson Rajesh Agrawal told PTI.
In value terms, exports are expected to decline to about Rs3,500 crore this season, he said, attributing it to a likely fall in the volume and rupee appreciation.
The Indian currency has strengthened more than 14% against the US greenback since August 2006.
Agarwal said the country has exported soyameal worth Rs2,950 crore during October-May period.
“This figure must have been at higher level had the rupee remained at the normal level and not appreciated against dollar,” he said.
India’s soyameal export may decline by 14-17% to 3.5-3.6 million tonnes in 2006-07 season against 4.2 million tonnes in the previous year, due to higher domestic demand from poultry industry and less availability of soyabean seeds for crushing.
“We have exported about 3.1 million tonnes till May and in the remaining four months we expect to export 400,000-500,000 tonnes,” he said.


The Deutsche Pflügerrat e.V. (German Ploughing Council) was founded in 1968 with the aim of maintaining the idea of competitive ploughing and thus contributing to the training of qualified, budding agricultural talents. Helmut Wolf has been chairman of the association since 1997, and is also chairman of the advisory board of the World Ploughing Championship 2018. The main job of the association is to host the German Ploughing Championship, which has been taking place every two years since 1953.
In addition, the Deutsche Pflügerrat represents Germany in the World Ploughing Organisation (WPO), which currently includes 32 members from all corners of the world. Thus the association functions as a link between the World Ploughing Organisation and the various regional ploughing organisations. The national associations include regional ploughing associations which are affiliated with the ploughing council.
The association carries out its work on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Food and Agriculture. The management of the association consists of both active and former ploughers, trainers, and supervisors, as well as a representative of the Federal Ministry for Food and Agriculture. The Deutsche Pflügerrat currently has a headcount of 285 people and organisations from all over Germany.


Commodity Classic Rises to Whole New LevelThu, 10 Mar 2016 08:48:42 CST
Significant New Records Set in Attendance and Trade Show Size
With nearly a quarter more attendees compared to last year, the 2016 Commodity Classic convention and trade show, which took place last week in New Orleans, shattered many previous records for the landmark event.
"We had a great show in New Orleans, with terrific weather and a fantastic location," said Commodity Classic Co-Chair Wesley Spurlock. "As it was the first time in that venue, and with a new affiliate the Association of Equipment Manufacturers we were expecting a great event and got what we expected. A lot of smiling faces and growers who left town more informed, engaged and energized as we head into planting season."
Total attendance was 9,770, compared to 7,936 in 2015. Another record set was in the number of growers attending, at 4,596. Additionally, the trade show featured an all-time high of 433 participating companies, including 128 first-time exhibitors. These exhibitors filled a record 253,300 net square feet of booth space, 49 percent more space 2015's trade show in Phoenix.
"The 2016 Trade Show was definitely a highlight for many growers, with one-and-a-half times the space as last year," Commodity Classic Co-Chair Sam Butler said. "The strong presence of new exhibitors, especially when it comes to farm equipment, combined with the new AG CONNECT Main Stage and longer hours for growers, made it a key destination for Commodity Classic."
The 22nd annual Commodity Classic will take place March 2-4, 2017, in San Antonio, Texas. Established in 1996, Commodity Classic is America's largest farmer-led, farmer-focused convention and trade show, produced by the National Corn Growers Association, American Soybean Association, National Association of Wheat Growers, National Sorghum Producers and the Association of Equipment Manufacturers.

From as far back as I can remember I've had a keen interest in plants and natural landscapes. Growing up in Devon gave me access to some of the most beautiful and innovative gardens and landscapes in the country. Dartmoor was just down the road from me, and The Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan not much further! It seemed a natural step to attend nearby Bicton College, where I completed a Foundation Degree in Horticulture. I then completed my full honours degree in Horticulture at Writtle College in Essex.
I’m a passionate gardener in my spare time. I enjoy growing my own vegetables and I’m very keen to garden organically. I love the challenge of designing or re-designing the garden each year. I take inspiration from all gardens or nurseries I visit, often going away wishing I had more space! I find Prince Charles' garden at Highgrove particularly inspirational, along with RHS Garden Rosemoor in North Devon.
I joined Van Meuwen in spring 2010 to offer horticultural advice and support for the web team. I hold a fortnightly Q&A session on Van Meuwen's Facebook page where I offer help and advice to all gardeners, from beginner gardeners to the more experienced.

Michoacan Cream is an F1 hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing Peyote Purple with Michoacan Spirit to produce an indica/sativa marijuana hybrid.
Michoacan Cream can be grown indoors as well as outdoors in warmer climate regions. If grown indoors it is strongly advised to prune or SCROG otherwise an excessive amount of stretch could occur. Yields are medium but the quality is high. In late flowering an array of autumnal colour is produced.
It has aromas of earth, incense/hash, grapes and lavender with a spicy taste. The initial effect is clear and lucid, creative even, but this feeling will evolve into a state of relaxed positivity. In order to preserve the very best flavour Cannabiogen recommend not to harvest too late so keep a watchful eye on the trichomes and harvest before they are all cloudy and turning amber.

Kargil, Jul 14 (UNI) About 500 varieties of medicinal plants are found in Kargil district of Jammu and Kashmir, where only 292 varities have so far been identified.
This information was given during a day-long seminar on medicinal and aromatic plants, organised by the Krishi Vigyan Kendra of Sher-e- Kashmir University of Agriculture, Science and Technology (SKUAST) in collaboration with the Kargil Kisan Association.
This was for the first time such a seminar was organised here in which students, farmers and scientists all participated.
Dr Mir Ghulam Hassan, a scientist, said 292 varities of medicinal plants had been identified in Kargil district by the SKUAST.
However, he expressed concern that no measures were being taken to preserve some rare plants, found here only.
Range officer Wildlife department Ghulam Abbas said encouraging plantation of medicinal plants would generate lot of employment and help farmers to earn more.
However, Dr Namgiyal said there were more than 500 varities of medicinal plants in the district which were enough to treat almost all diseases. ''We need other medicines,'' he said.
Chief Executive Councillor of Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC), Kargil Haji Asgar Karbalayee stressed the need for planting medicinal plants.

I'm always amazed by the growth at the Logan Square Farmers' Market. Each year adds more farmers and vendors, and it's now to the point where stands are lined up along Logan Boulevard from the corner of Milwaukee Avenue to Whipple St. That's a lot to cover in one post, especially since the last time we checked in was back in 2010. Fortunately, thanks to a stop halfway for a snow cone at Jo Snow, I was able to make it through. Check out all the summer produce you can now find at the market by clicking on the slideshow.
The Logan Square Farmers' Market is located at the corner of Logan Boulevard and Milwaukee Avenue every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.


Aspen Daisy, also known as Aspen Fleabane, is an easy-to-grow, native perennial that can thrive from the lowest elevations up to 11,000 feet. Its violet-colored flowers with vibrant yellow centers attract native bees and butterflies. The only unusual requirement about starting seeds is that they need light to germinate so do not bury them in the ground, instead sprinkle a light layer of soil over the seed. The 8- to 24-inch plants bloom from June to October and can tolerate full sun to partial shade. They will thrive on infrequent, deep watering from the second season and beyond. The plants are short-lived but are capable of reseeding themselves. In the wild, Aspen Daisy is commonly found on moist open slopes and along streams, and under aspen, spruce, and fir tees.

David Hedges Gower, founder of the Lawn Association, hit the headlines in March when he got into a no-mow row with Gardeners world presenter Monty Don, who told the Radio Times "Cutting grass burns lots of fossil fuel, makes a filthy noise, and is about the most injurious thing you can do to wildlife."
The turf expert hit back saying Don was wrong and lawncare is now greener than the TV gardener thinks.
Hedges-Gower reveals how he and Don will never be friends as he is a turf lover and Don is not.
However, greener grass is on the horizon, with robotic mowers coming down in price to replace petrol mowers and campaigns to require planning permission for plastic grass.
Hedges Gower calls for more education on turf's benefits and how to use it and for a coordinated campaign against artificial turf and is vocal about how unsustainable he believes professional sports turf is.
His work on high traffic turf at the National Trust's Hidcote garden involves replacing sports turf-style grass.
He is also critical of conventional garden centre weed and feed offers and has launched True Range Products that he says are a better option for turf lovers.

An overall update….
Check it out:
Big export sales boosted the corn market Friday. Despite the negative export implications of the ongoing U.S. dollar surge, corn futures rallied in response to today’s weekly USDA Export Sales report. The 2.185 million-tonne total was the largest result since early January 2008, which highlights its sheer size and says good things about export demand. March corn bounced 3.0 cents to $3.8675/bushel late Friday afternoon, while July rose 3.5 to $4.0275.
Soymeal diverged from general ag market weakness. As one might have expected, recent news of canceled bean sales to China crunched the weekly export sales total. Meal sales were good, while oil movement was moderate. Meanwhile, financial and energy market shifts, along with fund activity seemed to sink the soyoil market. One has to suspect talk of vigorous demand is supporting meal prices. March soybean futures slid 4.0 cents to $9.7275/bushel in late Friday trading, while March soyoil fell 0.37 to 31.60 cents/pound, and March meal climbed $1.4 to $331.5/ton.


Raking the lawn is an important part of keeping it looking great. You can use a rake to remove dead leaves, thatch and moss from the grass. But you’ll want to use the right equipment, too. Here are some tips for getting the job done.
Scarifying the lawn
When raking a lawn, it is not recommended to scarify it. Scarifying is a process that removes thatch and other debris from the surface of the soil. This is done to discourage weed growth and improve the overall health of the lawn.
Scarifying the lawn is best performed in the autumn. The process can be carried out manually, or using a machine. However, manual methods require a great deal of physical effort. You can also hire a professional to do it for you.
Before tackling the task of scarifying your lawn, you will need to prepare it by removing dead grass, runners and other debris. Mowing your lawn before you start will also make it easier to see what you are dealing with.
There are a number of tools that can be used for this task, from a rake to a powered scarifier. A rake is one of the simplest ways to do the job. It can be used to pick up the moss brought to the surface by scarifying, and is a great way to get rid of the debris.
Getting rid of moss and thatch
If you have a lawn, moss can be a problem. Moss forms dense mats that can make your lawn uneven. Fortunately, there are several ways to get rid of moss and thatch. Among these are scarifying and raking.
The first step in scarifying is to remove any thatch that has built up on the lawn. The best way to do this is with a power rake. This machine can remove a large amount of thatch from your lawn, allowing air and water to penetrate deeper.
For a more manual approach, you can use a springbok rake with thin metal tines. However, the work is tedious. Instead, you can rent a power rake. Gas powered rakes can be rented for as little as $75 per day.
In addition to removing thatch, aerating your lawn can help kill moss. Raking out the moss can also help promote new grass growth. It can be especially difficult to get rid of moss on a lawn with lots of thatch.
Using a twig-breaker sweep
Using a twig-breaker sweep for lawn raking is one way of getting rid of those pesky branches that often find their way to the garden shed. A twig-breaker is a device which breaks up twigs into smaller pieces which are easier to transport and dump at the end of the day. The device is designed to do a variety of things including generating air flow to reduce the amount of debris that is carried around the rotor axis. It also provides a reduced height air-solids separator for a bit of added convenience.
One type of twig-breaker device is a rotary brush which obliterates the large dust particles that litter the surface of the airflow system. The rotary brush has a diameter of roughly four inches and can reach a velocity of 9.5 mph. While this may not sound like much, it’s enough to keep a collector unit operating at full steam. Other twig-breaking devices have a more streamlined design, allowing for greater ease of dumping and a larger debris collection container.
Using a garden rake
When it comes to lawn raking, it’s a good idea to have a durable, sturdy rake. There are a number of different kinds to choose from, and they each have their own uses.
Some of the common uses for garden rakes are raking up debris and leveling soil. They also have the ability to press seeds into the ground. You may want to look for a rake that has a bar style handle so you can easily rake your leaves and other debris.
If you plan to use a garden rake for a number of jobs, you should consider getting a telescopic version. These types allow you to select the width that you need. This allows you to avoid bending down to reach the bottom of the soil.
If you need a heavy-duty rake to tackle more challenging tasks, it’s a good idea to go with a metal rake. Although they are a bit more expensive than plastic or wood, they are generally durable and last a long time.


Canola prices continue on the sideways run they’ve been on for quite some time. I feel like that has been written before, like lots, but it’s the truth. No new news to spur the market with prices. Trade with China remains very slow. The futures roll over carries around a $10/mt premium month to month so there is some encouragement from the market that better opportunities may be on the horizon… but its limited. Delayed pricing programs are still being traded where you can lock in your tonnage, have it taken off your hands in the nearby and leave the prices (futures and basis levels) open for a set period, generally a few months, to allow for market moves. This is a great plan for those with bullish thoughts on the market but issues like higher moisture or high green count posing major storage risks.
The mustard market was steady this week and we are seeing some modest selling on old crop supplies. Old crop yellow mustard would perhaps trade as high as 40 cents in some cases with brown mustard in the 28 to 30 range still. Oriental is still lagging between 23 and 24 cents. New crop with an Act of God has started to appear. We have a great Forge oriental program you can call your merchant about. We would like to hear your offers when it comes to yellow and brown mustard new crop also. Call your Rayglen merchant to discuss your old and new crop needs and also our wide range of certified mustard seed delivered to your yard! Rarely is it a good idea to try and use your old seed, and we deliver it to your farm treated or un-treated.
The USDA report has come out today and they’re reporting the average price for durum is looking to increase for this upcoming year. Weather events have provided major havoc on this commodity, hence the sunny outlook. That being said, if you are looking for some certified seed for new crop, give us a call. Expect to see #1 Durum trading around $8.25 FOB in South East Sask. Otherwise, pricing seems to be in that $7.75 -$8.00/bu delivered into plant. Milling quality wheat prices on red spring with 13.5 protein are pulling in $6.10 – $6.50/bu delivered to plant with the latter for pushed out movement. Lower protein milling wheat with 12.5 protein is around that $5.70 – $5.80/bu delivered into plant with new year movement. Feed wheat is still trading in that $4.50 – $5.00/bu FOB farm for dry heavy product. If it’s not making weight or moisture have your grain tested so you are able to market it accordingly.
The oats market continues sideways, much like it has for the past few weeks. We still have buyers looking to see samples of oats that may have been rejected as milling, but were borderline, as they feel that they feel they may be able to use some of this product. If you feel you have oats that fall into that category, get samples to us so we can forward them along and get you a firm bid. For milling quality oats, we have seen trades at $3-$3.25/bu FOB farm depending on location. On the feed side of the market we trade between $2.50-$2.75/bu FOB farm for quick movement. For the top end of the feed market there must be less than 15% sprouted kernels.
Lentils had another stable week with a couple of offers trading higher than posted bids. For the most part though, markets seem to be just “steady as she goes”. Reds continue to trade at 19 cents FOB farm, with the odd offer trading at 19.5 cents FOB farm. Large green lentils trade between 23 cents and 24 cents FOB farm while small greens show some life for #2 quality at 18.5 cents. Statscan will release their final production estimates next week, which should give some insight into final supply numbers. It will also be interesting to see if this year’s numbers are in correlation with 2016/17, the last time we had a prolonged harvest. There is talk of tightening demand in India, but the concern is that if the prices run up too fast and the Indian supply is not as bad as perceived, then there may be more additional trade barriers. This market will likely just remain steady with potential for slight increases going into spring.
The pea market is still seeing movement on all varieties into this week, with some slight rallies in value. Yellow peas saw targets hit at $6.25/bu FOB and green peas at $10.50 – 11.00/bu FOB. Maple peas also saw a bit of an increase in price to $8.50/bu FOB. We could expect supplies to remain tight on green peas, however, as buyers get covered it could put a ceiling on pricing; downside seems limited. Supplies on yellow peas, won’t be limited and depending on exports we may see pricing gradually incline. It may seem early as harvest has lagged on, but certified and common seed is available and trading steady if you are looking to update your seed or get into a new variety.
Chickpeas didn’t see a great harvest this year and the quality that did come off is all over the map. Compared to last year, yield was calculated at 25% lower, as per Stat reports. Carry over supplies from 2018, which was mostly good quality, is what will continue to keep our pricing slightly at bay. As India seems to be behind on pulse planting right now, it is too early to say their supplies will be down. Therefore, pricing will likely remain flat till more news comes out of India and Mexico on their new crop. Chickpeas are trading at $0.28/lb FOB on a #2 quality and sample chickpeas have traded between $0.12 – 0.08/lbs depending on quality.
Feed barley prices remain sideways this week with bids ranging anywhere from $3.50-$4.00/bu picked up in the yard. The further west, the better the price. Movement times also vary as there is ample supplies of feed moving through the system. Malt barley prices are up upwards of $5.35/bu picked up, freight sensitive. The CN rail strike will progressively back up shipping periods the longer the line is down. Europe and the Black Sea regions seems to have enough barley supplies, although China may buy more from Canada early in the new year. Malt prices are likely to stay sideways according to some analysts for a couple of reasons: a) there is enough cheap barley from the rest of the world and b) this is not the first time the market has dealt with quality issues.
Flax shipments out of elevators have started to catch up in the last 4 weeks. Prices remain mostly sideways with milling quality at $14.00 /bu picked up and #1 quality around $12.50/bu picked up. Yellow flax pricing has had some increases in the last couple of weeks with bids of 15.50 to $16.75/bu FOB depending on movement and quality. There are also some reports that the 2019 Kazakh flax crop has some optimism as yields are better than expected. There are different reports on the actual acreage size, which again leads to uncertainty. Russian flax has been moving into Europe which has kept prices at bay. Even with harvest issues in the US, the bids are not reflecting any shortages. So, with the Canadian flax prices up in the last month, further upside is likely limited. Keep sending us your samples so we can have an idea of what market it would best fit into.
The canary seed market has been very stagnant for a while now and there hasn’t been much movement on the price over the last couple months. Bids at 30c/lb FOB farm for Jan/March movement are the norm and if you are looking for quicker movement, in 2019, you can expect to get around 28 to 29 c/lb. There is nothing out for new crop contracts for the 2020 growing season and although we expect those prices will come out in the new year, it’s never a bad idea to throw out your target price. According to Statscan, yield estimates are expected to be cut in half due to lower seeded/harvested area and yields. Carryout stocks are expected to get extremely tight, much like every other year, but due to strong pricing, this year’s claim could be true. The price average on the canary seed could rise significantly should this be the case. Watch for attractive production contracts for 2020/21.
Soybean futures have been locked in a downtrend since the middle of October. From a technical analysis standpoint, the futures are hovering near support and will need fresh news to rebound and reverse the trend. Thus far soybean market news has lacked a real game changer and it has been a re-writing of some variation of the same verbiage. So, here we go again, soybeans will need a reduction in US carryout inventory as well as a significant drop in this year’s US production. China trade challenge remains locked with the same rut with no “tradeable” rumors nor news in recent weeks. Local soybean bids are trading in the range of $10.00-$10.25/bu picked up on farm. North American dry bean production has hit serious hurdles in both quantity and quality. This set back has offered support to the current market and it appears this same price support will spill into new crop production contracts. Faba quality and production quantity varies strongly across Western Canada, which is actually the norm. Number 2 export quality zero tannin faba bids are thin but, have achieved $8.50 FOB farm for top-notch quality. Feed faba market is trading a little plus or minus either side of $6.00/bu delivered.

The recent rise in prices of pulses may have pinched the consumers but as per agricultural economic experts from Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) this can galvanise farmers to go ahead with cultivation of pulses. On top of this, they pointed out that Minimum Support Price (MSP) hike of Rupees 275 for moong and urad variety of pulses by Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) will further foster the farmers in this regard. Now, farmers can fetch Rupees 4,625 per quintal for these two varieties.
As if now, Punjab is no way self sufficient in meeting the need of pulses of its population and is dependent upon other states. Moreover, India too is not independent due to which huge amount of pulses is imported each year from countries like Canada, Australia, Burma and France. In other words, it also makes it clear that encouraging farmers towards pulses is need of the hour, opined an economist Raj Kumar, from the department of economics and sociology, PAU.
“The prices have risen because demand and supply are not in sync. Demand is too high and supply is less. Moreover, imported products are expensive”, shared Kumar.
Mohinder Singh Sidhu, a senior economist and former head the same department revealed that production of pulses in Punjab decreased after 1970 as paddy and wheat replaced them extensively in Kharif and Rabi season respectively. However, to lower the prices of pulses, Union government will soon import more pulses on large scale, he unfolded.
“Interestingly, at the same time India is also the biggest producer, consumer and importer of pulses and with advancing years, imports are rising. If our farmers take up sowing of pulses, lot of money spent on pulses can be saved. Prices of pulses will also remain stable in this scenario and will boost diversification”, underlined Sidhu.
While sharing the prices of pulses he said, in the capital New Delhi prices crossed 100 per kg this May from 80's per Kg of most variety of pulses as compared to last year. When HT Team toured various city stores and shops on Friday, it was noted that prices were sky rocketing and some of them even higher than the capital. Talking to some of the customers, they lamented that it was not expected by them that prices of pulses will also rise too high.
“The state along with centre government must lower the prices. If prices of basic food like pulses will rise, many may give up consuming them”, said Jatinder Kaur, a housewife. Many shoppers like her termed buying pulses an expensive affair and hold a similar wish of low prices.
Meanwhile, PAU's department of extension education on the other hand has recently decided to find out reasons that discourage farmers from sowing of pulses.
India Import Figures: Pulses
Year Lakh Tonnes Value in Crores (Rupees)
2011-12 33.65 8931
2012-13 38.39 12,734
2013-14 30.5 10,551
2014-15 45 NA
Current Prices of some Pulses (per Kg):
Moong Whole (Rs. 130), Mix Dal (Rs. 134), Masoor Dal (Rs. 116), Moong Green (Rs. 137), Black Split Chilka (Rs. 144) Source: More Stores, Ludhiana
Toor Dal (Rs. 110), Mix Dal (Rs. 101), Moong Daal (Rs. 119) Source: Reliance Fresh Stores, Ludhiana
Prices at local shops are also almost the same as the stores.

Nafed holds meeting with onion importers to help fast clearance of imported stock
Chaired by Managing Director (NAFED) Shri Sanjeev Chopra, the meeting was attended by leading onion exporters / importers and senior officials of FSSAI. The meeting covered exhaustively all ground problems being faced by importers and majority of the issues were resolved to the satisfaction of all the stake holders.
It is expected that there would be a higher production of onion in the kharif season across the country which will ease the pressure on onion prices. There is a likelihood of arrivals of around 600 tonnes of imported onion at Mumbai within the next week, which will further increase supply.


October 7, 2020 11:46:22 pm
The Reserve Bank of India Wednesday sanctioned a cash credit limit (CCL) amount of Rs 30,220.82 crore to Punjab for procurement of paddy in the kharif marketing season 2020-21, for October, more than 10 days after the state started the procurement operations.
Chief Minister Amarinder Singh directed all procurement agencies to pay pending payments of farmers against already procured grain within 24 hours.
The state was waiting for the CCL even as the procurement season was officially started by Centre on September 26.
An official statement said the total expected amount of CCL required for the entire paddy procurement season is Rs 35,552 crore, of which Rs 30,220.82 crore has been released. The balance amount would be released as per the standard practice of revising the amount at the end of this month while sanctioning the CCL for November.
Amarinder asked the food and civil supplies ministry to ensure prompt lifting of the produce and release of payment to farmers within the stipulated timeframe of 72 hours for the procurement to be undertaken now.
The CM also expressed satisfaction with the 15.6 lakh tonnes of paddy procured by various agencies till date. With 27.36 lakh hectares of area under paddy cultivation, Punjab is targeting a procurement of 171 lakh tonnes in the ongoing season which began on September 27, as per the statement. The Punjab Mandi Board has already notified nearly 4,000 purchase centres for seamless procurement of paddy.

I first heard about microgreens at my sister’s home in NC a couple weeks ago–but it wasn’t until the Cheverly Community Market that I had the opportunity to buy them. So what are microgreens and who is selling them at the Market? I’m glad you asked. NPR had a great article called: Introducing Microgreens: Younger, and Maybe More Nutritious Vegetables that they wrote in 2012. It’s fascinating really. Not only might they be more nutritious, they are definitely tasty and last for a long time in your refrigerator. I bought two of the small plastic boxes of microgreens shown above. For $10 I will get have fresh, organic, nutritious vegetables in my meals for the next 10 days. Today for lunch I wrapped up some in lunch meat. I’ve added the microgreens to my salads and put them on top of my tacos. You can also coat them with oil and lemon juice with a pinch of salt. Yum.
So who are selling these lovelies? Little Wild Things City Farm located right here in Washington DC. Besides heading over to our Market every 2 weeks, the following items have been planted and will be available for pick up:
- Beets (touchstone gold, early wonder, moneta, detroit dark)

Paprika is still a medium-sized crop in Peru. In 2022, it was ranked 11th with the largest shipments in the agro-export basket. It currently reaches more than 20 countries and has more than 60 companies that export it. In 2022, remittances slowed down due to various external and internal factors. The strong competition from Chinese paprika was accompanied by the drop in domestic production in the last quarter of the year.

Our high-yielding Y Series soybeans have created even more demand for Pioneer soybeans, and this new facility will help ensure that growing demand is met.
Des Moines, IA and Jefferson City, MO (Vocus) March 5, 2010
DuPont and the state of Missouri announced DuPont business Pioneer Hi-Bred plans to construct a commercial and parent soybean seed production facility in New Madrid County, Mo. The $55 million project is one of many expansions Pioneer is making to ensure it meets rising demand for its products and helps farmers meet the strong global demand for grain.
Pioneer, which recently acquired 129 acres of land in Missouri’s New Madrid County, expects initial operation to begin fall 2011 after construction is completed. The new plant is expected to employ about 50 people once it is fully operational.
“This location strengthens our ability to bring new products to the market faster and to help farmers increase their productivity and profit,” said Paul E. Schickler, president – Pioneer Hi-Bred. “Our high-yielding Y Series soybeans have created even more demand for Pioneer soybeans, and this new facility will help ensure that growing demand is met.”
“As our economy continues to recover, it is critically important that high-tech, high-paying companies such as Pioneer invest in Missouri and create new jobs for our workers,” said David Kerr, director – Missouri Department of Economic Development. “Pioneer’s plan to build a new production facility in New Madrid County further demonstrates how a strong package of state tax incentive programs can serve as a powerful tool to help draw quality companies to Missouri, creating new jobs and moving our economy forward.”
“The Missouri Technology Corporation (MTC) is pleased to partner with the Department of Economic Development to bring this exciting project and new jobs to southeast Missouri,” said Jason Hall, executive director – MTC. “This project is a direct result of the work of the state and MTC, along with others, to strategically market Missouri’s strength in agricultural-biotechnology and to bring these next-generation jobs to all corners of the state.”
As the first Pioneer production facility in Missouri, the new plant primarily will serve soybean growers in more southern geographies in the United States. Pioneer also has a research facility in Miami, Mo., as well as selling corn, soybean, sorghum and wheat seed in the state.
The launch of the Y Series is the result of a proprietary matrix of traits and technologies Pioneer researchers have been developing and deploying to accelerate product development. Pioneer is employing its exclusive Accelerated Yield Technology (AYTTM) system and marker-assisted selection to boost the yield potential and improve the agronomic performance of these varieties. This harnesses the power of the Pioneer germplasm collection, strong bioassays, computing power and molecular breeding tools to drive genetic gain at unprecedented rates.
Soybean varieties from Pioneer show a 1.3 bushel per acre yield advantage against all competitive varieties, according to data collected on 11,692 direct, on-farm field comparisons in 2009. Among these comparisons, Pioneer® brand soybeans, with the original Roundup Ready® gene, have on average a 2.7 bushel per acre yield advantage against varieties from competitors with the new Roundup Ready® 2 Yield® technology.
Missouri Technology Corporation (MTC) is a private, not-for-profit corporation, established by the Missouri General Assembly. It is charged with leading Missouri’s technology-based economic development strategy, including strengthening of the economy of the state through the development of science and technology; to promote the modernization of Missouri businesses by supporting the transfer of science, technology and quality improvement methods to the workplace; and to enhance the productivity and modernization of Missouri businesses by providing leadership in the establishment of methods of technology application, technology commercialization and technology development.

Economic recovery could slow down if rains don’t pick up soon
As the spectre of a failed monsoon looms large, especially over north India, there is a very real fear of the resultant rural slowdown pulling down India’s growth rate to less than the projected 7 per cent in 2009-10. Zia Haq and Gaurav Choudhury report. Time to start worryingindia Updated: Jul 09, 2009 02:04 IST
Appa Garud, 60, a farmer in Maharashtra’s Satara district, 300 km south of Mumbai, is on the edge of despair. The jowar (a course cereal) seeds he had sown last month have all died due to lack of water. He will now have to buy fresh seeds.
“But where will the money come from?” he asked.
<b1>Millions of farmers across the country are in Garud’s shoes. As the spectre of a failed monsoon looms large, especially over north India, there is a very real fear of the resultant rural slowdown pulling down India’s growth rate to less than the projected 7 per cent in 2009-10.
Rural India accounts for a large part of the demand for a variety of goods ranging from scooters, motorcycles, televisions, shampoos, etc., and any slowdown in this will affect industrial production, hit urban India and retard the incipient recovery in the economy.
It would also result in a spurt in the inflation rate and upset the government’s plans of rolling out a guaranteed foodgrain supply programme for poor families under the proposed Food Security Act.
The southwest monsoon – crucial for sowing summer crops like paddy, oilseeds, sugarcane, cotton and pulses – is still below strength. At 92.2 mm between June 1 and July 1, it was an alarming 46 per cent below normal.
According to Indian Meteo-rological Department director Medha Khole, however, it will recover by next week, except in some pockets of North India.
Surjit Bhalla, managing director of Oxus Research and Investments said a failed monsoon could pull down overall growth by 0.5 per cent.
“The picture will be clear in the next few weeks,” he added.
The government, however, ruled out any food crisis. “There is no shortage of foodgrains in the country,” a spokesman at the ministry of agriculture said.
The country has rice and wheat stocks of 29.75 million tonnes and 24.09 million tonnes, respectively – enough to tide across any shortfall this year.
Already, there are signs that farm yields could fall.
“The sowing area this year has been much less than last year because of the late arrival and deficiency of the monsoon,” a senior official at the agriculture ministry told Hindustan Times.
In central and western India, the monsoons are already delayed by nearly five weeks.
This has pushed back the sowing season window in north India, especially Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh as these state receive rainfall much after those in other parts of the country.
“There are two points to note: July remains the key month for sowing, but the build-up in stocks of rice and wheat will provide the government a cushion,” said Rohit Malkani, economist, Citibank India.
Meanwhile, farmers like Garud as well as economists, government officials, India Inc. and a host of others are keeping their fingers crossed.
