The Kindling Trust will be screening ‘In Our Hands’ a lovely film made by the Land Workers Alliance that looks at the problems with the UK industrial food system and explores the quiet revolution among small hold farmers to combat this and transform how our food is produced and distributed. Throughout the tumultuous summer of the Brexit referendum the Land workers’ Alliance joined forces with two film-makers, to unearth the farms and faces that are making this change happen.
Check out the trailer here.
There will be having a discussion after the film with local small scale farmers.

This is because arable land is restricted and the developing demand for food can be met just by improving the quality of the seeds and safeguarding the available crop from various diseases and pests efficiently and effectively. This can be better achieved via seed treatment as it is more cost effective as well.”

At this year’s Summer Garden Opening for the National Garden Scheme, Goldsborough Hall is delighted to be able to preview its new Kitchen Garden and Glasshouse ahead of its official launch later in the Autumn.
The glasshouse was built in 2018 by Woodpecker Joinery, a respected family firm who have been awarded a Royal Warrant from HRH The Prince of Wales. This beautiful traditional glasshouse was built from reclaimed brick and cedar wood to sit as the centre piece of the newly restored Kitchen Garden. The rest of the Kitchen Garden has been laid out this year with 5,000 sq ft of raised beds, requiring half a mile of oak beams all centred around a large fountain and 50ft rill water features. The aim is to produce much of the food for the kitchens, cut flowers for the Hall and training and education for the next generation. The project is nearing completion and garden visitors will get a preview of the area before the Hall officially launches the Kitchen Garden in the Autumn.
Highlights of this 12-acre royal garden and grounds also includes the rose garden, balustrade border, herbaceous borders, woodland walk with a fernery and shade garden as well as the quarter-mile Lime Tree Walk planted by royalty in the 1920s. HRH Princess Mary and her husband Viscount Lascelles lived at Goldsborough Hall throughout the 1920s and they opened the gardens to the NGS in 1928, 1929 and 1930.
Clare and Mark Oglesby have lived at Goldsborough Hall for over 13 years and have made many changes in the house and gardens but this is their largest project to date.
With Goldsborough Hall’s new glasshouse and kitchen garden expansion, having a seasonal calendar means we can champion different fruit and vegetables.
Our head chef works very closely with the garden team so that we can provide the freshest seasonal home grown produce and maximise the growing potential of the kitchen garden.
Our NGS summer garden opening will be a fantastic opportunity for visitors to see a working kitchen garden and experience the beauty of the glasshouse in a glorious setting.
Goldsborough Hall is open on Sunday 21st July 12-5pm. Tickets and prices adults £5; children free. Plant stall. Dogs on leads welcome. Garden tours by the head gardener Mark Waller all afternoon. Refreshments available in the Orangery.

Tree Health Care
At Mr. Amoto Lawn & Tree Service, our mission is prevention. Understanding tree biology, delicate soil/water relationships, and nutrition requirements allow our certified arborists to be proactive in reducing the potential for disease and insect problems.
Integrated Pest Management
We practice Integrated Pest Management (IPM). This simply means that we incorporate various treatment or care practices to resolve existing problems, and prevent new ones. An integrated approach begins with maintaining plant health using sound cultural practices including pruning and creating optimal soil conditions for plant growth.
Periodic inspections are essential to detect pest infestations before they reach damaging levels. Mr. Amoto’s certified arborists are trained to recognize beneficial insects that will help naturally suppress pest populations. Indiscriminate use of broad spectrum insecticides can harm these beneficial insects and actually worsen the problem at hand. When treatments are necessary, we can apply treatments that provide effective pest suppression while protecting people and the environment.

Every year I pray my tuberoses won't pull the ole bud drop. I have 14 pots of tubers and sometimes they don't even bloom. They just turn brown and fall. They are about 14 inches right now with buds but not looking too good - tiny buds this year and some are fat buds. What can I do to increase the flowering and lessen browning and bud drop? I have only had them for 2 yrs and I live on the east coast in Florida with lots of humidity. I'm ready for the stakes because they actually droop over almost in half. Is there anything I should know about a specific way to stake them, like what to use or what not to use? I'm scared to even touch them. I know they need a good fertilizing right now. Was it ok that I used a tab of epsom salt to gallon of water on them like I do my plumerias? It's very hard to find good info on these bulbs *(plants). Please help.

For their part, traders acknowledge that supplies are large. But they argue that a drought here, a poor harvest in the Soviet Union and the disposition of the Department of Agriculture's vast hoard of wheat and grain - an issue that is likely to intensify as the 1988 Presidential campaign heats up - could sharply pare stocks.
''There is nothing evident at the moment which indicates shortages or problems,'' said John H. Frazier Jr., executive vice president of Balfour, Maclaine Inc. and a grain trader for more than 40 years. ''But that doesn't mean that in 30 days we won't have a terrible problem. If we get a few inches of rain in the main Corn Belt over the next month, then corn and soybean prices will fall. If we don't, then they won't. Traders are always interested in drought.''
Gordon Linn, president of Linnco Futures Inc., a firm that specializes in grain and cattle trading, said that ''the tone of the market has changed.'' He explained: ''The huge bearish attitude of the last three years is over. People are beginning to wake up to the fact that inflation is back. And those who believe that demand is still soft could be in for a big surprise. We think that usage this summer will be tremendous.''

Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
U.S. Department of Agriculture
The United States restricts or prohibits the entry of many agricultural products, which can carry foreign pests and diseases that harm American agriculture and our environment. A major pest or disease outbreak could mean higher grocery bills, shortages of certain foods, and devastating losses for our farmers and ranchers. Help us keep American agriculture healthy by following the guidance on this page about products you may want to bring into the United States.
Travelers entering the United States must declare all agricultural products on their U.S. Customs forms. U.S. agricultural inspectors will examine your items to be sure they meet entry requirements and do not harbor harmful foreign pests or diseases. U.S. inspectors have the authority to make a final determination about whether your products can enter the country. We recommend that you keep receipts and original packaging of agricultural products as proof of their country of origin.
As long as you declare all the agricultural products you are bringing with you, you will not face any penalties—even if an inspector determines that they cannot enter the country.
Scroll down for more information on how to declare items at Customs.
Are you traveling from Canada by Land? Find out which fruits and vegetables that you CAN and CANNOT bring back to the U.S. from Canada's land border.Air travelers should refer to the guidance listed below.
Fruits and Vegetables that you CAN and CANNOT bring back to the U.S. from other countries (choose below).
Almost all fresh fruits and vegetables (whole or cut) are prohibited from entering the United States because of the potential pest and disease risks to American agriculture. This includes fresh fruits or vegetables given to you on your airplane or cruise ship. Please plan to leave them behind.
As with fresh fruits and vegetables, almost all frozen fruits and vegetables are prohibited from entering the United States because some pests and diseases can survive very cold temperatures. Please plan to leave them behind.
Travelers may bring commercially canned fruits and vegetables into the United States as long as you declare them on your U.S. Customs form. Home-canned products are not allowed entry because canning practices can vary and may not remove all pest and disease risks.
If you still have questions about whether a particular plant or plant products (fruits, vegetables, plant parts, seeds, soil, or souvenirs made from wood or plants) can be brought into the United States, please contact USDA’s Plant Import Information Line at 877-770-5990 (toll-free) or by email at email@example.com.

How Do I Declare Agricultural Items?
USDA-trained dogs help sniff out plants and animal products in luggage and carry-on items on international flights.
Make sure you include any agricultural items on your Customs Declaration Form (select form below). This form provides Customs and Border Protection officials with basic information about who you are and what you are bringing into the United States, such as agricultural and wildlife products and whether you have visited a farm prior to traveling to the United States.
When you declare, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection official can check your items. This is the only way to be certain that your items are free of plant pests and animal diseases.

Lots of diversity this week, which is to be expected this time of year. I picked a little less than a pound of Red Tropea onions. This is a Diva slicing cucumber, a Beit Alpha cucumber that is delicious.
The first of the summer squash were picked, then two more in quick succession. These are Cocozelle. Each one was a bit over a pound. Also a few Jalapenos were ready to pick.
The Provider bush beans have really slowed down, which is fine as there are still some in the refrigerator. Still I picked nearly a pound. It won't be long and the Roma II bush beans and the Fortex pole beans will take up the slack. The Calypso pickling cukes are trickling in. I slice them into quarters and put them into a jar of pickling juice as they come in.
The total for the week is 8.6 pounds and for the season so far 47 pounds. Next week I expect to pick the first tomatoes. To see what other people are growing go to http://daphnesdandelions.blogspot.com/

Bolivian Rainbow Chile Pepper – Capsicum frutescens
Origin: South America
These versatile veggies are definitely for the birds! In addition to being rich in vitamins A & C, peppers have been recognized as containing digestive aids, anti-inflammatory properties, and arthritic relief.
Grown for centuries in Bolivia, the plants have attractive purple foliage and work well as a unique container or landscape plant . Bolivian Rainbows are everbearing, which means that they will keep on producing tiny (one-half inch), tear-drop shaped fruit that turns from a brilliant purple to yellow to red when ripe. These peppers are searingly hot but their heat doesn't bother birds as it would mammals. Easy to grow, they love hot, sunny weather and bright light ( a sunny windowsill will work). Keep them well- watered.
I have grown Bolivian Rainbows dwarfed in four inch containers and on up to full size (two to three feet) in one gallon containers. No matter what size, they have consistently produced lots and lots of peppers. My birds love them!

Vintage is coming
The region’s backpacker workers were out in force on Tuesday, with queues outside labour firm Vinepower a signal of the start of this year’s vintage. Some mid-Capes vineyards have already started to harvest, but the season kicked off in earnest this week.
Vinepower staffer Beccy Thomas said more backpackers attended Tuesday’s pre-registration day than the 50 positions on offer, but more work would be available as vintage progressed.
“We employ a lot of workers from the whole region this time of year,” she said. “We gradually take registrations each week to build up to about 200 workers.”
“Registrations are open to locals and we get many different nationalities applying.”

Last year’s vintage was harried by pests. Vintage 2020 was shaping up to resemble that of 2016, which had very similar low rainfall and early season temperatures and heat.
Margaret River Wine Association chief executive Amanda Whiteland said the outlook for this year’s vintage was bright.
“The season is generally one to two weeks earlier than average, and two to three weeks earlier than last vintage,” she said.
“Some wineries will commence receiving fruit next week and the majority will commence in early February.
“The yields are potentially up to 10 percent below the last five-year average, but higher than the relatively low yields of last vintage,” Ms Whiteland said.
“The quality is looking very good with no disease pressure and very little bird pressure due the abundant marri blossom this year.”
Fine weather and cool nights in coming weeks forecast a good result for vintners.
“The excitement is building for what could be one of the best harvests in the region,” she said.

Ranchi (Jharkhand) [India], September 26 (ANI): Local vegetable vendors here on Saturday raised concerns over the increased prices of the produce and consequent hardships.
"Potatoes are priced at Rs 40 per kg, onions at Rs 60 per kg. Prices of vegetables are increasing at a faster pace than growth in employment opportunities," Jeevan, a vegetable vendor in Ranchi told ANI.
As the prices shot up, the local vendors seem to not gain large profits in the process.
Speaking about the plight of meagre gains in the business, another vendor explained that his profit margin hardly reaches five rupees.
"When we buy vegetables from the mandi and sell in the market, our profit margin hardly touches Rs 5. Transportation costs account for an additional burden," the vendor said.
Vendors seemed to hope that as the production increases so would the customers which can lead to a better market scenario. (ANI)

|Global output & Year’s end stock |
According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development’s Department for Agricultural Products Processing and Market Development (DAPP), coffee exports in July witnessed an on-year decrease in both price (0.1 per cent) and volume (0.6 per cent).
Since late April, the consecutive decline in export prices has significantly hurt Vietnam’s coffee exports, especially amid the resurgence of the pandemic. For example, as of late last week, the on-year price fall could be seen in the United Kingdom (24.6 per cent), and China (13.7 per cent). Vietnam’s average coffee export price hit $1,690 per tonne, down 0.9 per cent on-year.
Coffee material exporter Simexco Daklak is now suffering from a decline in export price, with the company’s promotion plans being delayed and its ambitious goal to become one of the leading suppliers of coffee materials for the world’s major coffee firms already hurt. “We produce and export coffee beans, but their prices are fixed by speculation funds in London and New York,” said Le Duc Huy, deputy general director of Simexco Daklak. “Trading with coffee means to take risks.”
Over a decade ago, Simexco Daklak changed its strategy from selling products to intermediaries to directly selling to global-scale coffee firms, in a bid to reduce risks and ensure profits.
Currently the company directly exports 50 per cent of its products to large firms like Lavazza, Nestlé, DEMB, Mondelez, and Ahold with an annual volume of over $100 million. It also still sells 40 per cent of products to intermediaries and 10 per cent to Vietnamese purchasers.
However, dilemmas persist as input prices have continuously been increasing. According to Huy, purchasing coffee materials from intermediary channels has led to a rise in transport costs, pushing up input prices and reducing enterprises’ competitiveness.
Currently, the average cost for material transportation from farmers to producers is $15 per tonne, accounting for 25 per cent of the export price, double than the average cost for exports of Simexco Daklak to the Japanese market.
|Output of Vietnam |
The company’s 2020 revenues are expected to be negatively affected, especially when it has invested heavily into cultivating high-quality coffee trees under the standards of the US Department of Agriculture.
It installed modern processing lines in accordance with European standards, and forged cooperation with farmers to create large-scale coffee material areas in order to ensure an annual output of 30,000 tonnes of beans.
According to the DAPP, Vietnam reaped export turnover of $213 million for 120,000 tonnes in July, and $1.8 billion tonnes with 1.06 million tonnes for the first seven months of 2020 – down 0.1 per cent in volume and 0.6 per cent in export value on-year.
Amid the resurgence of COVID-19 in the country, it is expected that Vietnam may miss the set target of $3 billion in coffee export turnover this year due to an expected decline in export prices.
As per the Vietnam Coffee and Cocoa Association, the average price for exports in the 2019-2020 period has flung to a 10-year low, at times at $1,207 per tonnes of Robusta coffee, and 88 US cents per pound of Arabica.
Figures from Vietnam’s General Statistics Office showed that last year, Vietnam exported 1.61 million tonnes for $2.78 billion, down 13.9 per cent in volume and 21.2 per cent in value on-year.
In the first seven months of 2020, said the DAPP, the downtrend in coffee prices reflected a decline in global consumption caused by the pandemic and new supplies from Brazil, one of the largest coffee producers in the world.
In addition, coffee prices have also been influenced by the depreciation of the Brazilian real, which created new competition for Brazilian exporters in the global coffee market, and pressured the prices of global coffee including those of Vietnam.
Observers estimated that Vietnam’s exports in the 2019-2020 period reduced to 26.3 million 60-kg bags, lower than the previously-forecasted volume, due to price differences of Vietnamese coffee in the futures market, prompting importers to turn to buying from Brazil and Indonesia.
In addition, an increase of an extra VND600 (3 US cents) per kg of coffee domestically since late 2019 has also caused difficulties to businesses in purchasing coffee materials for exports.
Stalled export-import activities everywhere caused by the pandemic have forced many ports to close down, making it impossible for the coffee price to recover in the first seven months of this year.
In addition, COVID-19 has forced Vietnam’s key importers – the EU and the US – to slash coffee imports from the Southeast Asian nation due to feeble purchasing power caused by the governments’ policies of social distancing, with closure of a series of activities in coffee trading, cafés, and coffee firms.
Meanwhile, stockpiles remain at a high level, found at depots and warehouses of businesspeople, exporters, and farmers. Low prices mean farmers do not want to sell their products, making it difficult for businesspeople and exporters to ensure supplies.
Experts said that currently the average coffee price is hovering at $1,356 for January 2021 contracts. If stock prices – especially in the US market – reduce, speculators will shift to goods, notably coffee as it is one of the main trading floors together with gold and crude oil. With their rich budget, speculators may select floors with good liquidity, and coffee may be selected.


The Strawberry Tree (sometimes known as the Irish or Killarney Strawberry Tree) - Arbutus unedo is a gorgeous, evergreen tree from the Ericaceae family. Despite its Ericaceae background, the strawberry tree is surprisingly lime tolerant.
There are a number of cultivars available notably 'Elfin King', 'Integerrima', 'Quercifolia' and 'Rubra'.
|Strawberry tree bark|
Be aware that the young plants can be particularly tender and will require winter protection of bracken or straw. Once they have established they will be able to withstand greater cold and exposure.
You should not prune your strawberry tree as this can quickly ruin its ornamental habit, although straggly shoots may be cut back to the main stems in April.

The foreign ministers of the Group of Seven nations will discuss how to end a blockade of Ukrainian grain so it can be exported to the world, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said Thursday, as the meeting kicks off at the Baltic Sea resort of Weissenhaus, northeast of the German city of Hamburg.
”There are 25 millions of grain currently blocked in the Ukrainian port of Odesa, which means food for millions of people in the world that is urgently needed, above all in African countries and the Middle East,” Baerbock told reporters.
Ukraine is one of the world’s largest grain-producing countries.
The UN has called to reopen the Odesa port in southern Ukraine to help ease a global food crisis. CNN has also reported that Russian forces are stealing thousands of tons of grain from Ukrainian farmers, as well as targeting food storage sites with artillery, according to multiple sources.
The German foreign minister on Thursday welcomed top diplomats of the G7 nations for a three-day meeting, which will focus on the war in Ukraine, energy and food security, relationship with China and climate change.
Baerbock also welcomed her Ukrainian and Moldovan counterparts, Dmytro Kuleba and Nicu Popescu, who are attending the meeting as guests.
Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi, whose country chairs the Group of 20 major economies (G20) this year, is also participating in the meeting but remotely.

The road south out of Addis Ababa leads straight to the coffee country. The new highway toll road makes travel to the lowlands quicker than ever, but the pace slows down when the road starts to climb into the mountains. At Shashamane town, the western road carries travelers into the heart of the Sidama Guji coffee region, past family farms and pointed huts made of curved reeds.
Thousands of small farmers live in this area, growing coffee at high altitudes where the Rift Valley meets the Bale Mountains. Farms range in size from 1 to 20 hectares, and banana and mango trees grow alongside coffee trees, imparting their fruity flavors into the soil. For hundreds of years, people here have governed by the Gadaa system, an indigenous democratic process of electing a leader and local representatives.
The area is rich in history – and rich in coffee. Producers bring their ripe harvests to central washing stations, where the cherries are pulped and washed with mountain spring water the same day. The pulped coffee goes into a fermentation tank for 72 hours, then is washed, spread, and sun-dried for up to 2 weeks on raised beds. The people of the Guji region take pride in the high quality of this sweet, clean coffee.
A nice light, crisp taste that I had to get used to, but that is good. Still not exactly the taste I am looking for so I will try another flavor.
One of the best coffees I've ever had, expeditious delivery and fair prices can't beat it. definitely going to be ordering again 🙌🏼
Very smooth! A wonderful coffee.
I'm happy that I ordered the Limited Edition Ardi. The flavors of green tea and bergamot really shine through and it is a really enjoyable cup. I love it with a little milk in the morning. So good!

CCEA okays Rs 77.45 crore for revival of north eastern agri-marketing corp
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) on Wednesday approved a Rs 77.45 crore package for the revival of state-run North Eastern Regional Agricultural Marketing Corporation Ltd. North Eastern Regional Agricultural Marketing Corporation (NERAMAC) is a central public sector enterprise under the administrative control of the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (MDoNER).
“CCEA has approved a revival package of Rs 77.45 crore for NERAMAC,” Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur told reporters after the meeting.
The revival package will help NERAMAC to implement various innovative plans like providing better farming facilities, training to farmers in clusters, organic seeds and fertiliser, post-harvesting facilities to promote the products of north-east farmers in the world market, the minister added.

India likely to withdraw sugar export subsidies from new season
India is expected to withdraw sugar export subsidies from the new season beginning October as a sharp rise in global prices makes it easier for Indian mills to sell the sweetener on the world market, a top government official said on Tuesday.
“The government is not considering any subsidy at the moment for next year,” Sudhanshu Pandey, the most senior civil servant at the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, told Reuters in an interview.
“Under current circumstances, as we see the scenario, there appears to be no need to have the support of the subsidy. If exports can happen on their own, then it’s also better for the global market that no subsidy is provided,” he said.

Blitz #3 was our biggest yet, with a crew taking on bush regeneration as well as the usual blitz tasks like mulching, building no dig gardens, and implementing water storage and grey water.
Jacqui had some reflections on the day:
“I would like to extend a huge and VERY belated THANK YOU to everyone who made Permablitz #3 such a success on Saturday 3 November at my place in Mangerton. It was the 3rd permablitz I’ve been involved in so I thought I had a pretty good idea of what to expect from the day – I was wrong! Nothing can prepare you for the feeling of over 40 people descending on your garden and transforming it in a matter of hours.
Despite some early rain it turned out to be a fabulous day and it was great to see some new faces, along with a few regular blitz attendees (some of who are now eligible to host a permablitz at their place having attended all 3 permablitzes). We had people smashing up an old retaining wall (this was later used as garden edging), Shez leading up a small army creating no dig beds, a 1,000L water tank was levelled and put in place, the orchard was planted out with fruit trees and grey water lines installed, Kristy leading up a team removing an enormous patch of lantana (and removing the small landfill of rubbish that was underneath it!) and planting out with natives to stabilise the embankment. The power of chooks was revealed as a small team dug out the straw yard and tirelessly sifted the soil, creating a beautiful pile of compost to use for planting the veggie seedlings.
Special thanks go to Cath Blakey who agreed at the last minute to lead the team in the creek for a massive week removal effort and planting of natives including bushfoods in amongst the Alocasia brisbanensis or Cunjevoi or Spoon Lily. http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Alocasia~brisbanensis (just in case anyone was wondering what they were!)
Thanks also to Bec and Trina who looked after the catering for the day and made a great tofu BBQ along with yummy salads (some from the garden!), felafels and veggies curry.
All in all about 150 veggie seedlings, over 100 native plants and 10 fruit trees were planted. I think it would have taken us about 2 years to achieve what was done on the day and we have been enjoying an overwhelming amount of produce from the garden. It was particularly nice to get home from a short holiday and head into the back yard instead of to the shops for some fresh food!”

I was intending to do a mega-post about either the garlic or the shallots today, but I guess that’s going to be put off until another day. I have three smaller items of some interest that I wanted to share before moving on to other things later this week.
First, hail damage:
This poor, shredded pepper plant is about the worst of the damage in the Demo Garden. I consider us very lucky with regards to storm damage.
I’ve been reading Annie’s Kitchen Garden blog for a couple of months now, and I’m always inspired by the gardening efforts this gal! Today she has a post about a variety of things, but what I just had to share was the part where she dried her lettuce harvest in a pillowcase and then used the damp pillowcase to store her lettuce in the refrigerator for the week. I know I just gave most of it away, but do go see the pictures. I’m going to have to try that method next time I have a lot of lettuce or spinach to wash.
And, for what it’s worth, a website has listed this little blog as “#47 in the Top 100 Gardening Blogs to Follow in 2013″… There are a lot of gardening blogs that are not listed here, so I’m not going to let it go to my head! Speaking of gardening blogs, I’m always interested in finding new ones to follow. Do you have any good suggestions?

Brooklin Schneider asks us to help her find out who planted the Capilano apricots – three apricot trees growing beside the road on 75 Street.
Brooklin semi-recently moved to Edmonton, and was surprised by how many fruits and vegetables can grow in our northern climate. She was intrigued when she heard about three trees growing in an alley between a regular old residential street and 75 Street – a busy road that is basically a freeway.
Local plant expert Dustin Bajer filled us in on the basics of what’s known about these three apricot trees. All three are on the boulevard on the west side of 75 street, between 86 Ave and 87 Ave.
Listen first, then scroll down below for more information.
Dustin had a hunch the trees may have been planted by Robert Simonet – a plant breeder who ran a market garden near by until 1958, and was known for experimenting with petunias, corn, and lilies.
Brendan Casement, a semi-retired horticulturalist who used to work for the Alberta government’s Crop Diversification Centre horticultural station in Brooks, filled in a lot of the blanks for us.
This episode is made possible by support from Taproot Edmonton and the Edmonton Historical Board.
We also gave shout-outs in the episode to YourForest and The Well-Endowed Podcast.

We bought some huge round hay bales last week but the cows haven’t been very interested in eating them. People say you can feed cows a low quality hay, but ours are a little picky. We supplement with fresh vegetables from the farm and alfalfa and all sorts of treats, so we aren’t afraid that they are going hungry or are short of protein or other nutrients. At the same time, we have all this hay and it is has too many seeds to use as mulch and really we prefer to get a couple of uses out of the hay – first as feed then as compost if you get my meaning.
So, Karl thought it would be fun to roll a whole bale into the pasture and see what the cows did with it. We had some idea of how Royal would react – he often plays with his food – so we all gathered around to watch! Luckily Karl Jr had his phone with him to capture some of the fun.
Some of you have seen these bales in our driveway, but for those who haven’t, they are about 6 feet tall and well over 6 feet across. Within about 10 minutes the whole thing was reduced to a messy heap and the cows were happily munching away at it. Even Juno, the calf, had a little taste. You can see her dash off to the right towards the beginning of the video. She is almost one month old now and just starting to try solid foods. She won’t be weaned for months yet. As the herd all live together all of the time, she will nurse as long as her mother, Tessie, will allow it or until she moves to another farm.
(I can’t find the original video – still looking)


Hemp Is Finally Legal.
“It’s hard to overstate the importance of the Farm Bill’s passage for the US hemp industry. It’s basically the starting gun.”
An amendment to the 2018 Farm Bill, added by US Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, removes industrial hemp from regulation under the Controlled Substances Act, making it a legal agricultural commodity for the first time in more than eighty years.

Urban Agriculture: A Guide to Container Gardens
A Guide to Container Gardens With inexpensive containers and suitable soil mix,you can create an urban garden virtually anywhere - on roof tops,vacant city lots, borwn fields, and unused portion of parking lots Job S. Ebenezer, Ph.D.President, Technology for the Poor, 877 PELHAM COURT, WESTERVILLE, OHIO - email@example.com It is estimated that by 2030 AD nearly 50% of the world’s population may live in urban areas. As a consequence of this many millions of acres of productive farmland are expected to be lost to housing and other usage. Due to the recent terrorist attacks, food security and safety are seriously compromised. Migration from rural areas also brings into the urban areas many persons with very little formal education. Urban agriculture has the potential for creating micro-enterprises that can be owned and operated by the community members without too much of initial capital. Urban farming is not new. Wading pools should be set on a level ground.

The coverage under pulses has risen to 13.45 million ha till Thursday, up from 12.61 million ha a year earlier, an official statement said in New Delhi on Friday.
Acreage of oilseeds rose to 9.09 million ha, up from 8.56 million ha a year earlier. Traders said that the higher acreage in oilseeds was mainly due to good mustard sowing because of high prices seen last year.
The area under mustard rose to 6.62 million ha till Thursday, up from 5.88 million ha a year earlier. The rise in the overall Rabi pulses acreage is mainly due to increase in area under chana (gram) and masoor (lentil). Chana acreage till Thursday was at 8.44 million hA as against 7.75 million ha during the same period last year, while lentil acreage rose to 1.52 million ha from 1.35 million has a year earlier.
While the edible oil industry, which has been pitching for the imposition of import duties on such oils, can expect some good news. Area under Rabi oilseeds went up to 90.98 LH from 85.60 LH last year on the back of higher mustard acreage. Areas under coarse cereals also increased from the previous week to 6.74 million ha, as against 6.19 million ha a year earlier because of higher area under jowar.
Jowar acreage rose to 4.86 million ha till Thursday, compared to 4.40 million ha in the corresponding period last year, while area under maize remained almost flat at 1.05 million ha, up from 1.01 million ha during the same period last year.

Succulents are outdoor plants; even for lower-light-needing plants such as the Haworthia species and mountain roses, a minimum of indirect sunlight is needed. If you really can't find a spot that is exposed to bright sunlight, it is highly recommended that you get plant grow lights for your succulents!
Be aware that these are different from the fluorescent lights in your office or living space. Succulent grow lights radiate full spectrum light and at the same time radiate small amounts of heat to create a temperature difference around the plants' microenvironment that allows more vibrant and beautiful colours to form over the leaves.
A grow light for succulents is a game-changing solution to ensure your beloved plants receive the optimal amount of light, even in indoor environments. Designed to mimic the natural sunlight that succulents crave, a grow light provides the necessary spectrum of light for their growth and health.
Succulents are known for their love of sunlight, and insufficient light can lead to stretching, weak growth, and even color changes. With a dedicated grow light, you can provide your succulents with the right intensity and duration of light, ensuring they flourish regardless of your indoor setting.
Whether you're a seasoned succulent enthusiast or just starting your plant journey, incorporating a grow light into your setup can make a significant difference. These lights come in various types, including full-spectrum LED grow lights, which mimic the sunlight spectrum and promote optimal photosynthesis.
So, if you're looking to elevate your succulent care routine and provide them with the best possible light conditions, consider investing in a high-quality grow light. Your succulents will thank you with vibrant colors, sturdy growth, and an overall healthier appearance.


By and large, we are close to being complete with our Southwest location in Monte Vista, Colorado! The foundation work, for the most part, has been completed during the summer of 2016. We are presently building the walls and installing the equipment for the malthouse. Not to mention, bins are up, and conveyors are going in.
WE WILL BE POSTING NEW PHOTOS PERIODICALLY SO PLEASE CHECK BACK FOR UPDATES.
In addition to leveraging the existing barley infrastructure in Colorado, we will work to expand malting barley production. Specifically, into other feasible niche agricultural regions of the Southwest, where there is demand from customers to source local barley, find transportation, and supply chain efficiencies.

I would like to prune my lilac bush. What is the best time of year to do so and how much can be cut back and not harm the bush?
Rate This FAQ
Lilacs are spring flowering shrubs and the best time to prune spring flowering shrubs is after bloom, late spring early summer is best to establish new wood for next spring blooms. Lilacs generally produce more blooms on healthy, newer growth, rather than on older stems.
