This is a medium-sized plant when grown indoors, between 90 – 120 cm. tall, although it can get quite a bit bigger when planted outdoors in the ground in warm climate regions, between 150 – 190 cm. This plant develops dense, light green flowering clusters which display patches of purple set against orange pistils. Flowering times indoors are around 9 weeks with yields in the region of 500 gr/m 2 while outdoors each plant is capable of producing as much as 700 gr.
Monster Girl Scout Cookies is an 80% indica hybrid cannabis strain that was bred by crossing OG Kush with Durban. It is a very popular variety known for its high levels of THC, good yields and relaxing effect.
Sweet with earthy notes are hallmarks of both the taste and scent of Girl Scout Cookies. THC is rated at up to 24% which helps to deliver an intense effect that is both physically relaxing while leaving the mind quite clear for everyday functioning. Beware! This strain is very likely to cause an extreme attack of the munchies.


The Bale Band-It is an automatic small square bale packaging machine. Taking small square bales directly from the baler, the Bale Band-It stacks the bales 3 high and 7 deep creating a 21 bale bundle that can be handled with standard loader attachments. The Bale Band-It’s fully automated system unloads on the go, providing continuous, non-stop baling. This in-the-field packaging solution creates efficiencies from producer to end consumer, making it the ultimate one man baling operation.
Advantages for producer:
- Eliminates manual labor in handling small square bales
- Greatly increases producer’s capacity in handling small square bales
- Handling 21 or 42 bales at a time drastically reduces the time associated with handling small square bales.
- Fully utilize the capacity of your small square baler
- Bale more, handle less with the Bale Band-It.
- Each step along the way, sturdy Bale Band-It bundles increase efficiencies
- From field to trailer
- From trailer to storage
- From storage to customer
- Accurate bale inventory counts can be done quick and easy
- Time to tie down loads is greatly reduced
Advantages for end consumer:
- Purchasing an efficiently made, value added product has many built in advantages.
- Make every dollar pay for hay rather than handling inefficiencies.
- Move bundles with loader until you are ready to feed one flake at a time.
- Better storage utilization

This coffee is from the Cotecaga washing station in the Nyamasheke District of Southwest Rwanda. The growing conditions here are near ideal for coffee; a combination of rich, volcanic soil, high elevation and a cool microclimate off nearby Lake Kivu yield coffees that are intensely fruited and sweet. Some 600 small producers who live in these mountains carefully grow bourbón cherries to be milled at the Cotecaga washing station, where they are depulped and then dry fermented in tanks.
Once fermented, the coffee is washed in channels and then soaked again in a second tank for 12-18 hours. After this final soak, the coffee is moved to drying tables where it is hand sorted for defects and insect damage. This hand-sorting is a critical step in reducing the incidence of the notorious potato defect. The coffee is then dried for an average of 18 days. Sweet and fruited.
Ritual has been a pioneer in this delicious shift in coffee consciousness since we opened our doors on Valencia Street in 2005 and started what some call a coffee revolution in San Francisco. Our goal then--and our goal now--was to craft the very best cup of coffee available anywhere. Period. We've learned a lot over the years, but the care and attention we lavish on our process is unchanged, including tasting every coffee several times before it goes out to our coffee bars and into your cup.Read more

Grapefruit season ramping up in California
Grapefruit production in the United States is gradually moving into California and volume is picking up as the season transitions. Texas is almost done for the year and Florida has already completed their diminishing season, earlier than it has traditionally. Star Ruby grapefruit is the variety of focus at the moment, until later in the California season when the Marsh Ruby grapefruit enters the market.
"The California grapefruit season has just started, with production centered in Riverside and into the Central Valley," said Dave Adams of Sunkist Growers. "Florida wrapped up early this year as they continue to see a decline in acreage due to citrus greening. The Texas season will be finishing up in a few weeks. There is plenty of volume now as California ramps up production and suppliers are waiting for movement away from Texas and into California."
Market improving every year
Prices of grapefruit are rising each year as demand increases. Growers have noted that there is more appeal for the fruit among younger people which is helping the category grow. At this time of year, demand typically picks up in line with warmer weather.
"May to July sees the highest demand, which coincides with the peak of the California season," he continued. "We are seeing a shift with more millennials enjoying grapefruit. This has sparked a boost in consumption in the category."
Export market solid
Exports of California grapefruit continue to steadily increase, with demand especially high in East Asia as well as South America. China has not been a huge buyer of California grapefruit, but producers are seeing more interest every year. The recent announcement of Chinese tariffs on US citrus will not have much effect, given the limited volumes.
"Exports to Chile are about to start up for the season and we continue to see good demand from there," said KP Jassar of Porterville Citrus. "China is also starting to take more, but it's still a limited market there. Taiwanese consumers enjoy smaller sized fruit so they are a particular market in that regard. Overall, the biggest volumes go to Japan and Korea, with Chile also now importing significant volume."

It will be a bit embarassing if you come to visit us at home at this time, because our little home has somewhat been turned into a green house! I'm telling everyone to be patient with me for this arrangement will just be for a month. I have shelves of seedling trays in our lounge as it's the warmest area of our house, and kitchen window ledge is also filled with more seedling containers!

Big grain cleaners match big augersTwo big new rotary screen grain cleaners introduced by Feterl Mfg., Salem, S. Dak., are designed to match capacity of big grain augers.
The largest, a commercial model, re-moves weed seeds, chaff, broken kernels, fines and foreign material from wheat, corn, soybeans and other grains at the rate of 8,000 bu./hr., which is also the rated capacity of Feterl's largest 12 in. by 120 ft. grain auger. It's totally pto-driven and equipped with a 12 ft. long rotary scren drum measuring 48 in. in dia. Retails for $8,750.
Also new from Feterl is the Model 200, rated at 6,400 bu./hr. It's a twin unit, made up of two Model 100 rotary screen cleaning drums (each 96 in. long and 28 in. in dia.) placed side by side. The drums are pto driven; the fines discharge auger can be driven by electric or hydraulic motor. Sells for $5,975.
"The gentle action of the fighting in Feterl-built grain cleaners moves grain through the rotary drums, providing a continuous turning effect to assure that all grain is exposed to the screen where dockage is removed," notes Ron Feterl.

industry explained ( i think)...
it's the first of june and the field next to the supermarket has pretty much died dead...this leads me to surmise a few things...1) i was dead wrong about it being winter wheat...2) it is a cover crop ( or an absolute crop disaster ) and this field is destined to be plowed and planted in soy beans this month...3) most of the field is simply dead grass but a small percentage of the plants have developed seed heads ( third photo ) which look a good deal like the winter rye in my back yard ( last photo ) ...so much for my ability to determine the difference between wheat and rye by leaf width...seeds are a much more reliable indicator so no more predictions until i see some seeds...a bean field here means volunteer industrial corn mutating out there ( speaking of mutant corn, did i say that a new friend out west is sending me some pod corn to grow? that will be fun/interesting )...there will be more reports form this field soon.
an industrial worker and university student (everyone needs a hobby...my hobbies have evolved and, to keep things straight, i have left my formal student career behind for reasons that are too detailed to delve into here...continuing to be a student of life however and not adverse to learning...stasis is death ) sliding down the back side of middle age...a social loner with collectivist leanings...explain that.


“Fruits & Vegetables Almería” (best known as fhAlmería) has published in its June edition a full-page interview with AlgaEnergy’sGeneral Manager, Carlos Rodríguez-Villa, held during Infoagro Exhibition. Underlining the “Award for Sustainability and Organic Production” granted to the company during the Fair, the journalist Isabel Fernández confirms AgriAlgae®’s great reception by the market, as well as the company’s vision and corporate values, always relying upon a responsible and sustainable agriculture, which is at the same time more efficient.
In the article, highly interesting issues are addressed, i.e. the microalgal biomass’ production process, in which CO2 from other industries is eliminated before being emitted to the atmosphere, or the double-digit production increase provided by AgriAlgae® in all kinds of crops it has been tested, amongst others.

We began setting up carbonic maceration infrastructure with our partners and friends at Thageini Washing Station in Nyeri County, Kenya, throughout 2019. The year beforehand was a year where the washed Kenyan coffees were of exceptional quality. We wanted to know if we could showcase these qualities through multiple harvests and with a greater refinement of profiles. We chose to commit time and investment towards the building of infrastructure at this washing station and towards educating the team there on processing practices to maintain this proven quality.
During the 2018/19 harvest season, Project Origin founder Saša Šestić and General Manager Habib Maarbani travelled to Thageini to deliver and install CM equipment and run the first CM experiments from Thageini. They ran experiments for washed and natural CM lots using techniques and recipes created and refined in Ethiopia, Panama, Nicaragua, Honduras and El Salvador. The first of these lots took us by surprise. They cupped differently to our expectations, but were truly delicious coffees nonetheless.
Project Origin have since offered a range of CM Selections coffees from the team at Thageini Washing Station, and we continue to support the team there who produce what is proving to be outstanding coffees from an outstanding origin.
We are excited to see what Kenya’s green beans, environment and natural bacteria will bring to our CM Selections range.

Changes to the way top-fruit growers' levy to the Horticultural Development Company (HDC) is calculated, and the possible extension of the levy to cider apple growers, are currently being pursued with the Government.
HDC director Dr Bill Parker told top-fruit growers at a meeting in Kent last month (31 March) that the Agriculture & Horticulture Development Board (AHDB), which oversees all six agricultural levy bodies, is pursuing Defra "on a whole range of issues that it wants resolved".
He explained that devolution has created anomalies, particularly in the meat sector, and that "apples will get sorted as part of the wrap-up". This would require statutory changes that are in the hands of Defra, he pointed out, adding: "It's up the agenda, but whether it's got the impetus to move forward is anyone's guess."
Currently the levy on top-fruit growers is based on their turnover rather than the area of their orchards, calculated at 0.5 per cent of sales above a £60,000 threshold.
The AHDB has requested a reduction in the threshold and suggested the removal of exemptions on cider apples. "One of our aims is to bring them into the levy," said Parker.
A Defra representative confirmed: "If the changes are taken forward following the general election that will require changes to legislation - AHDB Order 2008 - and so a consultation will be held."
Sector levy - Tree fruit
The Horticultural Development Company raises just over £0.5m from the tree-fruit sector, accounting for eight per cent of its income.
The majority of this money is spent on crop protection, such as a new five-year £700,000 project to develop integrated pest management programmes for tree fruit pests and diseases.

Who we are
Most of Cambridge’s allotments are managed by the volunteer committees of 9 independent allotment societies. We are representatives of these societies.
We welcome others involved in running local council-managed and independent allotment sites.
Who we represent
National Allotment Society affiliated members in Cambridge. These are 1497* individual plotholders at 14 self-managed sites, plus associate members, and members of other allotment societies.
What we do
We work together to represent our members’ interests, share the cost of seed purchases, and promote our hobby.
Our current projects (spring 2022) include sharing ideas on sustainable and wildlife-friendly gardening and composting, collaborating on the tenancy agreements societies make with their plotholder tenants, and as ever our ongoing work on bulk seed supplies.
We source and supply seed to local allotments, buying in bulk to achieve low prices for our members.
Societies collect potato orders with payment from their individual members in early October. We collate these, buy in bulk, and distribute them to the societies in late January or early February, subject to the weather. We supply only classified Scottish seed potatoes tested for freedom from blackleg, blight and virus diseases.

We are formally constituted as Cambridge Central Council of Allotment Societies. Cambridge Allotments Network (CAN) is our working title.
CCCAS was formed over 100 years ago. These minutes from Chesterton Allotment Society mention that a conference was to be held on Nov. 3 1921. Later minutes record that the conference was held at the Eagle Hotel and a Mr Miller was elected as chairman. We have minutes of CCCAS meetings from 1963 onwards. If you know anything more about our early history we would love to hear from you.
In 1999 CAN helped to defend the Elfleda Road site against the football stadium expansion, ultimately saving 1/4 acre of allotment land. From 1999-2004 we ran a regular stall at Cambridge farmers’ market selling surplus allotment produce and advertising vacant plots. In 2000 and 2003 we ran promotion campaigns with funding from Cambridge Sustainable City. In 2009 we presented a petition for more allotments, with over 700 signatures, to Cambridge City Council, leading to a review of provision and the creation of a new site at Kendal Way. In 1999 and again in 2020 we negotiated new lease terms for our 14 sites with our landlord, Cambridge City Council.


KTDA wants locally consumed tea exempted from tax
30 October 2013, 11:52
Nairobi - Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) has urged both the national and County governments not to over tax the locally consumed tea.
KTDA chairman, Peter Kanyago, said all taxes of locally consumed tea should instead be exempted in order to encourage more Kenyans to consume tea.
He also called upon the government to give tea farmers subsidized fertilizers just like other farmers who grow food crops.
“I would also like the government to help KTDA look for more markets of our product even if it will mean government to government negotiations,” he added.
He also encouraged Kenyans to consume more tea since only 10 per cent of Kenyan tea is consumed locally while the rest 90 per cent is exported.
Kanyago also adds that the KTDA is ready to work with the County government to ensure that farmers benefit through the value addition process.
At the same time, Kanyago has cautioned tea farmers against misusing the tea payments commonly known as tea bonuses which was released at the end of last week.
He said he was happy that many farmers have been educated on how to plan for their money.
Kanyago was speaking on Monday at zone IV offices in Othaya, Nyeri County, immediately after he was elected unopposed as a KTDA member.
He however said the sector is facing many challenges including the fluctuation of prices in the Mombasa auction.
Others challenges affecting the tea sector includes the high energy costs, labour cost and high cost of farm inputs like fertilizer.

Original Skunk #1 Regular Seeds
Original Skunk #1 was originally created by Sacred Seeds on the west coast of the USA during the second half of the 1970s. Bred by crossing an Afghani Indica, Acapulco Gold Mexican Sativa and a Colombian Gold sativa. It was the very first stabilised hybrid to be introduced to the burgeoning Dutch growing scene. It was then commonly called “sinsemilla” – grown for potency as seedless marijuana and prevented from becoming fertilised in order to harness all of the plant’s energy to be used for resin production and not for seeds.
Its stabilisation resulted in its utilisation as breeding stock for almost all of the Skunk strains currently available as well as for many other strains as well. As such it was seen as the “gold standard” for modern, hybrid cannabis. Its dense buds vary from a light green to a golden colour and are liberally packed with THC-carrying resin. Its taste is somewhat sweet with a decidedly strong aroma (hence the name) and it delivers a powerful, cerebral high effect. Due to the very high ratio of buds to larger leaves it is a strain that is very easy to manicure following its harvest and drying.

Basic / Breeders Info
Skunk #1 is an indica/sativa variety from Sensi Seeds and can be cultivated indoors (where the plants will need a flowering time of ±48 days ) and in the greenhouse (as like as outdoors in the right climate zones) . Sensi Seeds’ Skunk #1 is a THC dominant variety and is/was also available as feminized seeds.
Sensi Seeds’ Skunk #1 Description
Skunk #1 is the strain that changed the face of cannabis culture across the world continues to amaze weed-lovers more than a quarter-century after her release! The original Skunk hybrids fused traditional cultivars from Central and South America, Afghanistan and Thailand. Through generations of intensive selection and back-crossing, the very best examples of Skunk were stabilised into the first true-breeding Indica-Sativa hybrid – the classic Indica-dominant Skunk #1.
The potency of this branch of the cannabis family tree is so notorious that ‘skunk’ is often used as a name for any powerful ganja. Breeders regard Skunk #1 as the benchmark of uniform, reliable performance and her rock-solid genotype has influenced a hundred modern hybrids. Skunk#1’s energetic performance and bountiful yields demonstrate the true meaning of hybrid vigour. Growth and flowering are mostly-Indica in appearance, with Skunk #1 gaining a little more height than a pure Indica when blooming. The extra-dark green of this strain’s leaves comes from her Afghanica ancestors and contrasts sharply with her lime-green growing tips.
Flowering is very fast and Skunk #1 produces robust stems and branches to support her superior yields. Short internodal gaps quickly close when her nodes explode into dense, rounded flower clusters which merge into huge, heavy terminal buds by the end of the blooming phase. Fan leaves can show many shades of colour at the end of flowering, as plants focus their energy on bud formation and resin production
Sativa heritage is most apparent in Skunk #1’s beautiful calyxes, long, profuse pistils and her habit of expanding bud-growth in all directions as harvest time approaches. Sativa also has a wonderful influence on Skunk #1’s potency and effect – a stunning combination of stone and high.

As LaRue Countians prepare for the annual Relay for Life event scheduled for May 15 at Hodgenville Elementary School, the local Relay for Life County Committee is focusing on local survivor stories. This is the fifth of eight stories. Roy Viers is your typical LaRue County farmer in one sense. On the family’s 200 acres off Fork Road, he and his brother Clyde are planning on planting their annual crops of tobacco and corn. They milk about 50 Holstein cows and work from sun up to sun down. But in another sense, Roy is not your usual farmer.

SERIES 18 | Episode 25
Gerard: "I have a problem in my organic garden with bugs eating my precious broccoli. A small green worm appears and eats the leaves and later a grey aphid inhabits the upper reaches of the broccoli, virtually making it inedible. I'd like an organic solution to the problem."
Peter answers: "I think the broccoli is under some stress. The little worms are small caterpillars. Control them safely by using a special form of bacteria, that's available at every garden centre. And just spray the grey aphids with safe pyrethrum"
Carol: "I've had two creepers for about two years now. They're both in clay pots on a veranda, growing profusely, with plenty of leaves, but they don't flower and I'm disappointed. They get watered every second day. I don't know what I'm doing wrong."
Colin answers: "A bird told me you've used different fertilisers, and all are high in nitrogen, which stimulates leaf growth, at the expense of flowering. So get yourself a fertiliser that's high in phosphorous and potassium and watch it bloom."
Andrea: "Our banksias don't flower. We don't add any extra fertiliser, because they're not supposed to like that, but they don't flower, and some of the old man banksias die - why?"
Peter answers: "There are a couple of reasons why banksias won't flower. The first is that they're in too much shade and therefore they'll never flower. The other - especially with the old man banksia - is if they're growing in heavy soil or clay they won't grow and won't flower. Just try another spot."
Judith: "I live in Geraldton. We're trying to replant our front verge, so we're looking for plants that are drought tolerant, that will spill out across a gravel verge, that won't require much maintenance, or water, and things that tend to be prostrate and will grow to about a metre tall."
Angus answers: "It's always a good idea to check your local garden centre or neighbouring gardens to see what is going to work well in the climate and soil. But a few favourites are the creeping boobialla, Myoporum parvifolium, or some favourite Grevilleas, like 'Poorinda Royal Mantle' or 'Bronze Rambler'."

After my flying visit in the spring to the Keukenhof Park just outside Amsterdam, inspired by seeing 7 million bulbs in bloom. I wanted to add more bulbs to my own garden – albeit in a much smaller way! Packing a very big punch were large borders of mixed bulbs, giving a long period of flowering, and I decided to under plant a border of deciduous shrubs with 5 square metres of a bulb mixture. I choose ‘Lelystad’ which flowers February to April with a height of up to 20 cm, fitting in well underneath the shubs. The bulbs in the mixture are Narcissus Topolino, mixed Crocus in blue and white shades, Tulipa Violacea, Anemone Mr Fokker, Narcissus Baby Moon and Muscari Armeniacum. This mixture is also importantly bee and insect friendly, providing early nectar to insects.
We dug out 100mm depth of soil and poured 1,000 of the pre-mixed bulbs into the plant bed and replaced the soil. These bulb mixtures can be planted in large areas such as grass verges, lawns, meadows etc and the bulb supplier uses a small tractor/planter with a hopper into which the pre-mixed bulbs are poured and the bulbs are mechanically planted. We are looking forward to seeing how the bulb mixture performs next spring.
Our garden is windy and I rarely plant Tulips, except for a few in containers as the flower heads usually get snapped off by the wind. During my spring visit, I asked for a recommendation for a sturdy Tulip that would cope better with our windy conditions, and Tulipa fosteriana was recommended. I have planted some and will let you know how they survive the weather.

John Deere has presented a new round baler, the 459E model, which offers high-end bailing features at an economical price and will be available in 2016.
The new model is equipped with six diamond belts, which cover more than 90 percent of the bale chamber, helping to reduce leaf loss while improving bale quality. The 459E is available with two wrap options: net or twine. The baler also comes with the track pro monitor that allows the operator to both monitor and control important baler functions.
Another feature is an adjustable hitch, which helps operators attach the baler to the tractor drawbar with ease at an ideal height of 16 to 18 inches for optimal performance.
In addition, producers can bale at higher speeds with the 459E edge-to-edge net wrap option. Compared to twine, baling with net wrap is 75 percent faster and more efficient, it also results in 30 to 60 percent less spoilage.
That means producers end up with more, higher quality forage at feeding time from tightly wrapped bales that are easier to handle and feed.

Raised garden bed gives numerous advantages to home garden enthusiasts. If you want to build your own raised garden bed then it’s vital to to pick the right tools for the job. You should choose the type of wood that will last long and looks beautiful when building your frame. Some types of wood are better for building your garden bed that others. Ideally you should build a durable raised garden bed that will last you for a long time.
Instructions to Building Your own Raised Garden Bed
It is not hard to build your own raised garden bed, as it needs minimal amount of materials and effort, the most important part is the material you choose to build your garden bed from. You should carefully choose what sort of wood to utilize, what size it should be, and whether you’ll have to build the whole garden bed yourself or use corner supports bought from the store which simplify the building procedure and give a protected corner that will last for quite a while.
What sort of wood should you use?
Most of the time, cedar is the best wood to use for your raised garden bed since cedar is very resistant to moisture and won’t rot that easy. There are quite a bit of cedars to choose from, most popular are: Juniper, Yellow Port Orford, Vermont and Western red. If you don’t want to use cedar you can try Redwood as an alternative. The choice of wood determines how long your garden bed will last. If you build your raised garden bed right, it will last you a good 10 years and some beds even last for 15 years or more before they need changing. It is more cost efficient to spend a little more on good wood once than replace your low quality wood every other year.


HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- Beijing is considering a plan to encourage Chinese companies to purchase farmland abroad in an effort to ensure stable food supplies, according to media report Friday.
A proposal drafted by the Ministry of Agriculture would encourage domestic agricultural firms to make the offshore acquisitions, with the focus on South America and Africa, the Financial Times reported Friday.
Beijing already has encouraged state-owned banks, oil companies and manufacturers to make overseas investments, but there's been little encouragement for agricultural companies to step up. The policy being drafted would make these investments a central government policy, the FT reported.
The plan is expected to face opposition from governments concerned about their own stable food supplies and other environmental concerns. Beijing is expected to embrace the plan in spite of the expected backlash, according to the FT, which cited an unidentified official spokesman.
The plan comes amid soaring food prices and moves by oil- rich countries in the Middle East and North Africa to invest in agricultural and livestock operations in other countries.
Food prices in China, which has 8% of the world's arable land, have risen about 25% in the first quarter from a year earlier, the report said, citing UBS figures.

A footpath crosses some rather nice hay meadows just before the slope rises up to Williamscot. I was pleased to get my feet wet as I jogged along the path. The fields are still somewhat "wet" meadows, and thus better for moisture-loving plants and wildlife. Flower-rich meadows are something of rarity locally, where most pasture is heavily improved and grazed. Managed under a "Higher Level Stewardship"agreement, the farmer is doing a great job and wildlife benefits from some protection for the short term at least.
The meadows are yellow-splattered with buttercups. Yellow rattle is just coming into bloom. I photographed this field last year about the same time (you can tell they weren't taken this week as there is blue sky and the sun is shining).

Yesterday Coles announced its looking to increase how much it buys from Simplot by 12 per cent over the next five years.

In the small Spanish town of Gratallops has the Vinicola del Priorat their home. It is an association of several winegrowers and farmers who are based here in the heart of Catalonia.
Vinicola del Priorat - an exceptional community
Encouraged by the success of the neighboring top winemakers, they decided to produce excellent bottled wines themselves instead of always selling the wines in bulk to other producers. In this unique cooperative all important areas are under one roof and so one is responsible here for production, processing and marketing. Due to this concentration and the resulting high quality, the Vinicola del Priorat has risen to the status of a first-class cooperative since 2007.
Now it's getting strong
Already in the Middle Ages, the wines from this Priorat were the most popular and sought-after in all of Spain. In the shelter of the Montsant mountains, mainly the traditional grape varieties are cultivated and the best cuvées are aged in barriques by the oenologist Elisabeth d'Anguera i Bachs. The wines produced here impress with their deep dark color and a high concentration of flavors. Among other things, they can sometimes boast alcohol levels between 14 and 15% and can be stored for up to 25 years! Priorat wines are also characterized by
- an extremely low yield per hectare and
- Notes of ripe fruit.
- The slate terroir also characterizes the unique taste
Concentrated knowledge from a long tradition
Vinícola del Priorat's partner producers, there are 140 in total, combine a total vineyard area of no less than 210 hectares. These producers are often heirs of the old farmers from the surrounding villages. They have mastered the art of keeping alive the millennium-old tradition of viticulture, and also of resisting adverse conditions such as infestation by grape aphids. The producers work in rather small vineyards, some located at an altitude of 600 meters, with a very low production per vine: only about one kilo of grapes.

Farm incomes show 13% increase
According to Defra, total income increased by £631 million to £5.46 billion – meaning income is just 0.7% lower than it was in 2011 after inflation has been taken into account.
A Defra spokesperson said that the falling numbers of farm workers mean that individuals in the sector are taking home a higher share of the total income figure.
This meant that individual incomes rose to an average of £28,426 – an increase of 15% compared to 2012 and a rise of 0.6% against 2011 figures.
Andrew Heskin, a partner in Moore Thompson’s Farming Sector team, said: “After the appalling winters recently, it is great news that our farmers have seen a general increase in their income.
“The signs are also promising that thanks to a mild winter and relatively dry spring, our farmers and growers will enjoy a good 2014, particularly if the weather stays fine.
“However farmers must not become complacent, because as we have seen before, one bad summer can wipe out a lot of good work.
“We would urge farmers to put in place the right financial measures to ensure they are protected against any future hardship.”
According to Defra, a rise in output helped fuel this rise in earnings.
Output from crops increased by 3.7% (£334 million) to £9.2 billion, with the main driver an increase in potato prices of 22%.
Cereals had a mixed performance, with wheat prices up 7%, but a 20% reduction in total area planted meant output actually fell by £75 million. Barley fared better with an increase of total output of £199 million, however this was offset with a drop of 6% in prices due to the increase in supply. Oilseed rape saw a £245 million decrease in total value.
In the livestock sector, poultry output increased by £250 million, the pig sector rose by £141 million, while the dairy industry increased income by £505 million in total output of £4.2 billion. The success in the dairy industry was achieved on the back of a rise in milk prices, which rose on average from 28.1p per litre in 2012 to 31.6p a litre in 2013.
However the livestock industry as a whole was reduced in total against its potential because the cold start to 2013 meant feed costs rose by £740 million.

Herb Gardens-Pure Pleasure~
Two of the greatest joys in my life are watching my herb gardens and ny grandsons grow. The two together is nothing short of amazing !
Herb gardens can be any size, shape and/or design that you are attracted to.
Herb gardens are readily changeable, if you plant thyme in this spot and next year you would rather have sage in this same spot, just dig it up and replant in another location. Seldom do you lose herb plants from transplanting.
They are so anxious to grow and please us they just put down roots wherever we wish to place them.
They are very neighborly, the closer the better with many species.
Herbs love to be in the spotlight, just add a few special garden fixtures and you will soon have a touring location that will be the talk of the town.
Birds, bees, butterfly's, and other interesting and beautiful creatures will add to the show on any given day.
Herbs love to be snipped on a regular basis, even if you don't have use for all the cuttings, just allow them to fall to the ground and presto...they will add rich and healthy compost to the soil for the continued growth of their fellow plants.
Herbs make a lovely bouquet for the summer table, and the extra benefit is the aroma they will waft throughout the entire house.
Small, large, formal or a crazy and wild mix-an herb garden is one of the greatest pleasures one can experience on a daily basis.
Happy herb gardening~
