The ground-breaking Waikato Effluent Expo in the convention centre at the Mystery Creek Events Centre, is turning five this year on St Patrick’s Day – and it will be bigger than ever.
Most Effluent Expo attendees last year were from Waikato, although some farmers came from as far away as Northland, Taranaki and Wairarapa.
At least 50 exhibitors are due at the March 17 event near Hamilton and it’s hoped attendance will top last year’s figure of 650.
The expo – organised by Waikato Regional Council and sponsored by DairyNZ – is designed to be a one-stop shop to support farmers wanting to upgrade their effluent systems or catch up on the latest advice. It is the only effluent-specific event in New Zealand.
“Good systems help protect waterways, but they also help farmers maximise profits by making efficient use of the nutrients available,” said expo organiser Electra Kalaugher.
“The expo is a great chance to make sure you’re up on the latest developments and advice from industry and plan improvements, even if you can’t afford to spend up large this year.”
About half the expo’s visitors last year were farm owners who are responsible for major investment decisions regarding effluent systems.
“We’ve had a great response to the expo from farmers, industry organisations and private sector suppliers over the years.
“So it’s a pleasure to be celebrating the expo’s fifth birthday in 2015. It shows the ongoing commitment we all have to doing a better job on the effluent front; both to protect the environment and improve farm profitability.”
This year the Mystery Creek exhibition hall and outdoor area will host companies displaying specialist machinery and equipment, infrastructure, and design and consultation services focused on effluent management.
There will also be a range of seminars within the exhibition hall with more time for questions and discussion this year.
Indoor seminars will include seminars on effluent storage options and nutrients by DairyNZ, a seminar from Waikato Regional Council on effluent system monitoring, and a more interactive discussion session with Fonterra and DairyNZ on system upgrades in tight times.
A small outdoor grandstand will allow people to watch demonstrations of irrigation systems during outdoor seminars from AgVice.
Along with the usual inside cafe area, a food area will also be available outside this year with picnic tables, Fritz Wiener hotdogs and a coffee cart.
Besides sponsorship from DairyNZ, Federated Farmers and milk companies were supporting the expo.
Most attendees last year were from Waikato, although some farmers came from as far away as Northland, Taranaki and Wairarapa.
This year the Bay of Plenty and Taranaki regional councils will be promoting the expo as a place for farmers in their areas to learn about developments in effluent management.

Global coffee exports up more than 5 percent in 2016 -ICO
NEW YORK, Jan 31 (Reuters) - Global coffee exports rose 5.3 percent in the 2016 calendar year and 8.3 percent in the first quarter of the 2016/17 crop year, data from the International Coffee Organization (ICO) showed on Tuesday.
Global coffee exports in the 2016 calendar year reached 118.42 million bags, up from 112.47 million bags in 2015, while they climbed to 29.77 million bags in the first three months of the marketing year that started in October.
That was up 8.3 percent from 27.49 million bags in the first three months of 2015/16.
Exports of both arabica and robusta coffee rose in the 2016 calendar year.
Global exports of arabica reached 73.26 million bags, up 3.6 percent from 2015, while robusta exports reached 45.16 million bags, up 4.5 percent from the prior year, ICO data showed.

Drought is also a form of global climate change. The major droughts that occur in various countries also happen in regions throughout Indonesia.
Based on data from the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB, 2017), the provinces most vulnerable to drought in the 2010-2016 period were East Java (29 percent), Central Java (27 percent), West Java (20 percent), South Sulawesi (15 percent) and Aceh (9 percent) (Figure).
Those areas, especially Central Java, East Java and West Java, where 76 percent of the national drought disasters happened, are not oil palm plantation regions. Aceh was the only oil palm center province included in the five worst provinces for drought.
Based on drought data, it can be concluded that drought occurs in various provinces that have no connection to oil palm plantations. Drought occurs in both oil palm-production provinces and non-oil palm production provinces. Indeed the provinces where the worst droughts happened, mostly on Java Island, are not oil palm plantation regions.

The UN regulator overseeing deep-sea…
It’s unlikely that surging piracy…
Kyiv has accused Russia of delaying more than 165 cargo ships heading to Ukrainian Black Sea ports to load up with grain under a deal brokered by the United Nations and Turkey.
Russian inspectors "have been significantly prolonging the inspection of vessels," the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on October 24. "As a result, more than 165 vessels have been stuck in a queue near the Bosphorus Strait, and this number continues to grow daily."
Cargo ships carrying grain and other foodstuffs to and from Ukrainian ports must be inspected by teams organized by the four-party Joint Coordination Center (JCC), a group set up under the UN-Turkey brokered deal with Ukraine and Russia that was signed in July amid concerns that the blockage of Ukrainian grain exports was contributing to a global food crisis.
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said it had reason to believe the delays were politically motivated and were once again threatening food security for millions of people.
"Russia's actions undermine global food security, in particular in the Global South," the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry statement added. "The inspection delays have already prevented Ukraine from exporting an additional 3 million tons of grain. Ten million people across the world have not received food in time because of Russia's political agenda."
Russia has previously threatened to pull out of the deal, which also gave Moscow guarantees for its own grain and fertilizer exports. The deal is up for renewal next month.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on October 24 that Moscow has asked the United Nations for data on the destination and end-consumers for Ukrainian grain exports. Lavrov said "corrections" needed to unblock shipments would depend on Russia receiving this information.
UN spokeswoman for the Black Sea Grain Initiative Ismini Palla said urgent steps were needed to relieve the backlog.
The delays "have the potential to cause disruptions to the supply chain and port operations," Palla said.
The deal freed up exports from three of Ukraine's ports -- Odesa, Chornomorsk, and Pivdenniy -- which had been blockaded since Russia launched the invasion of Ukraine in late February. The first grain shipments left Ukraine in August.
The four parties to the deal -- Russia, Ukraine, and brokers Turkey and the UN -- are currently negotiating a possible extension and expansion beyond its November 19 deadline.
Palla said the UN convenes the parties daily "and has urged full and good faith participation in the [deal] and the need for additional urgent measures to be taken so the supply chain does not get disrupted and the initiative continues to deliver more and much needed food to the world."

This week will be a lot of the same things from last week.
We are in the thick of summer for things that grow well in the heat and humidity.
So there will be lots of Zucchini, Patty Pan Squash, Cucumbers and Green Beans.
There are plenty of nice Carrots to pick. Take two or three bunches home this week. Super sweet!
We will bring in the Beets, despite the funny black marks on the outside.
We will have small quantities of Cabbage and Celery.
Lots of Basil for pesto, plenty of Parsley and a few other herbs.
Kohlrabi and Potatoes will be abundant this week again. Maybe we will pick a mix of red and white potatoes.
Cut Flowers will be coming in, and we will have some bouquet makers at the market stand this week too.
Last week we harvested one little box of Red Tomatoes. This week we should at least double that. Probably triple it.
Our goal is to have Salad Mix and Kale at every market. The hot weather sometime does not cooperate, but this week we should be good on Kale, while the Salad Mix is not worth picking because of the hail damage from last Saturday. Next week.
Likewise, there will be Onions and Garlic every week. This week, we'll do big Sweet Ailsa Craig Onions, Scallions, and French Red Garlic.
We might have... Swiss Chard, Bok Choy, Amaranth Greens, what else?
Sounds pretty good? Come on by LCS from 4 to 6 on Thursday.
Next week... The first of the sweet corn. I tried a piece raw in the field today and it was almost there.


Challenges on the supply of organic seeds has been our major concern over the past period, as more and more suppliers withdraw from this sector due to the challenges faced. We see this as a continuing trend through 2020.
After a rapid escalation in prices the market has stabilised, at least for now, The expectation that the USA might relax trade tariffs on pumpkin that were imposed at the beginning of 2019, has stopped the increase in price for the ‘SS ‘A’ grade which was being favoured by the USA due to the lower price. If the duty is raised we will need to watch and see if buyers switch back to AA or stay with A grade. This will impact the price spread between the grades.
Otherwise, we are putting a lot of effort into ensuring the Goat head thorn risk in GWS type pumpkin is controlled/eliminated from our supply chain. This contaminant has appeared recently due to a change in harvesting techniques in China.
Strong demand and supply problems have seen linseed prices continue to increase. We are hitting bad weather times now, so we will not see prices decline until new crop harvests. So far prices have gone up around 15-20%.
In India domestic demand has reversed the steady weakening of prices. We expect this to change during January and see prices ease slightly, since all the basics indicate adequate global supply for 2020.
Central America, has collected a good crop, and we are awaiting details of seed quality.
Prices are steady from Ukraine and elsewhere, there is plenty of import quota available, so apart from some logistical issues in the supply chain we do not anticipate problems or volatility here now.
Prices are up around 15-20%, similar to linseed, and this correction is somewhat overdue. Strong demand and suppliers running behind with orders helped fuel the correction. Prices are unlikely to weaken again now, and may continue to steadily increase.
Little change in the market situation in the last month. Supplies are committed from most sources, and prices firm. Australia is expecting a smaller crop this season, but supplies will not reach EU until March/April, and the impact of the bush fires, if any, is as yet unknown. Certainly it will not help with the quantity available! We anticipate prices staying firm this season now, but would not expect significant increases from current levels.

A mini wildflower meadow, with native flowers such as red clover, scabious and ox-eye daisies, attracts a wide range of wildlife, from bees and other pollinating insects to small mammals and amphibians.
You can grow wildflowers from seed or from plug plants, but the easiest way to establish a wildflower meadow is to lay turf. Simply remove a few strips from your lawn and replace them with wildflower turf, which you can buy from online suppliers.
Looking to maintain your meadow? Wildflower meadows need cutting once a year, after they’ve finished setting seed. Find out how to do it in this Gardeners’ World video, as Monty Don cuts back his wildflower meadow with a scythe. He shares tips on how short to cut it and why it’s important to remove all the cut material afterwards:

Lewes Farmers Market Producer Criteria
The Lewes Farmers Market is a not for profit social enterprise. The Market was established in 1998 as a way to support small scale local farming and food businesses that use sustainable and environmentally friendly production methods.
Stallholders need to have an involvement or close understanding of the production process, we do not allow producers to buy in goods for sale. Products for sale on a stall must be produced by the stall holder.
One of the key aims of the Market is to enable people to find out more about the food they buy. Producers are able to meet and talk to their customers and people shopping are able to ask questions about how the food has been prepared, grown or reared. Shopping at the market will reduce food miles across Sussex.
We have a detailed set of criteria covering the different products carry out visits to food businesses and farms so that we can get a better understanding of production methods and the issues that producers face. Download our full Producer Guidelines here.

Entries tagged with “plant disease”
The intense heavy rains we’ve received over the past year have encouraged a big uptick in certain plant fungal diseases. Entomosporium leaf spot disease is one we are seeing run rampant this spring and summer.
All this rain has been good for our local lakes and reservoirs, but it can have some adverse effects on your trees and landscape by causing fungal diseases.


Old fashioned, mauve flowers with layers and layers of petals. Rosa 'Novalis' is a Floribunda Bush Rose to rival them all. Plenty of blooms through the season that rate an impressive 5/5 on our fragrance scale. Blooms open singly and in clusters.
Rosa 'Novalis' is vigorous, with a strong disease and black spot resistance. Leaves are light green. Named for the Romantic German writer and bred by one of the most eminent breeders in the world, Kordes of Germany in 2010. Grows to 1m tall. Prime, two year old stock.
Fairytale Roses are English style roses bred to enchant. They are robust and flower tirelessly; they are a result of a breeding program from renowned growers, Kordes, that doesn’t use pesticides and fungicides, so only the strongest survive and become available to gardeners.
Tesselaar has selected this rose variety especially because it is vigorous, hardy and disease resistant.
Rose bushes are upright, elegant shrubs that are adorned twice a year with spectacular, showy blooms.
The basics of rose care are simply ...
1. Keep the plants moist at all times, but never allow the roots to sit in water.
2. Feed generously, and frequently, two or three times over the flowering season.
3. Keep pests to a minimum (this is usually not a problem if you start with a strong variety, and keep it well watered and well fed).
4. Prune back once a year.
5. Keep the area around the roots weed free, and ensure 4-6 hours of sun per day. Loamy soils are ideal, though Roses will grow in heavy top soils (if well drained) and sandy soils (if kept watered and fed more frequently). For Roses to thrive, good drainage is critical.
Tips for picking rose blooms ...
1. Avoid picking in the first year
2. Never take more than a third of the flower stem to help the bush to remain productive and shapely.
3. Use a sharp blade and always cut to an outward facing bud.
4. If the rose bush isn't growing vigorously, remove the flowers without taking any leaves.
5. Pick roses early in the morning - moisture and sugar levels are high so they tend to last longer.
6. Immerse rose stems in warm water and re-cut stems under water.
7. Remove all thorns and foliage that will sit below the level of the vase.
8. For larger, prize winning blooms on established plants; we recommend that you 'disbud' by removing all the side buds whilst they are still small. This enables the rose plant able to focus all its energy on making the top bud larger. The end result is fewer, but larger blooms.

H.J.Res 100 is an emergency resolution to implement the Tentative Agreement as brokered by the Biden administration with the rail labor unions and the operators.
“The ability to ship corn and other agricultural products effectively and affordably is essential to the health of Colorado agriculture and rail service is a key component to that,” said Rod Hahn, President of the Colorado Corn Administrative Committee. “Ensuring continuing rail service is crucial and it is encouraging to see Congress working together to ensure there are no disruptions.”
A strike or lockout combined with existing challenges in the rail system, at our ports, with trucking combined with record low water levels on the Mississippi River impacting numerous barge shipments would have had harmful consequences for the agricultural and broader U.S. economies.
“It’s gratifying to see the administration and private industry working together for public benefit,” said Hahn.
The National Corn Growers Association said the vote was a welcome development.
“Rail is crucially important to America’s corn growers, who rely on it to ship grains and fertilizer,” said NCGA President Tom Haag. “We are pleased to see that Congress is taking the necessary action to ensure that rail service continues to operate.”
A deal to avert a strike appeared imminent in recent months, but a disagreement over paid sick days put the country back on the pathway to a strike, which could have begun as early as Dec. 9. Left with no other options, Pres. Biden urged Congress to act. Biden is expected to sign the bill.
The National Corn Growers Association will continue to work with legislators on this issue, and the CCAC is grateful for their work on legislation that supports corn producers.

Last year we grew Little Gem, Pentard Red and Webbs Wonderful lettuce, with great success. Obviously, because it was our first year we made a lot of mistakes.
We planted far too many seeds, all at the same time and far too close together. This year we’re much wiser. And… we’ve got Monty on our side. As I found out after reading his book, The Complete Gardener, Monty is crazy about lettuce. He grows it all year round and has a poly tunnel dedicated to the task. On his list of ‘approved’ lettuces are the following:
Cos Lettuce = Little Gem, Lobjoits Green, Rouge d’Hiver.
Butterhead Lettuce = Tom Thumb, Merveille de Quatre Saisons.
Looseleaf = Salad Bowl, Red Oak Leaf.
Red Lettuce = Red Salad Bowl, Aruba.
Iceberg = Mini Green.
Winter Lettuce = Winter Density & All the Year Round.
Out of those I have chosen one from each group – Little Gem, Aruba, Salad Bowl, Lobjoits Green, All the Year Round and Merveille de Quatre Saisons. I ordered them all from The Organic Catalogue and Johnsons Seeds (I did look at The Cutting Garden, Sarah Raven’s site but they were the most expensive and charged Ã‚Â£2.50 for delivery, so I didn’t bother).
I know it’s a lot of lettuce to be growing, but we really like it, and you have to leave some for the slugs, don’t you?

Angoumois Grain Moth(Sitotroga Cerealella)
This moth is noted for its angular wings, and the trailing edges of both sets are fringed. Its common name comes from a district in France where it caused extensive damage in the 19th Century.
The moth lays 40 - 300 small white eggs which turn red before hatching, in around 7 days. The larvae then moves into a single grain and stoppers the hole with a silk plug. This makes detection of the larvae difficult and can lead to a large amount of grain damage before detection. The larvae remain in the grain to pupate, the adult moth emerging around 35 days after initial hatching.


IRVINE, Calif. (November 9, 2021) – 3Bar Biologics walked away from Western Growers/S2G Ventures' AgSharks® Competition with a $250,000 equity investment offer to take its microbe technology from development to market. The seed funding was awarded by S2G Ventures after 3Bar Biologics competed against four other companies inventing new technology solutions to solve agriculture’s most pressing issues.
In addition to investment capital, 3Bar Biologics will receive international recognition, mentoring from WG and S2G, potential access to farm acreage to pilot their technologies and exposure to WG’s expansive network of leading fresh produce companies.
3Bar Biologics is the global leader in customized technologies and bio-manufacturing solutions for living agricultural microbe products.
“In an industry forced to shoulder the crushing weight of poorly designed regulations, perpetual labor shortages and water supply insecurity, innovation is essential,” said Western Growers President and CEO Dave Puglia. “3Bar Biologics embodies the entrepreneurial spirit that will help our farmers overcome these challenges and continue to feed the world.”
"The AgSharks Competition continues to bring together leading growers and entrepreneurs in the space," said Aaron Rudberg, Managing Director and COO, S2G Ventures. "We're thrilled to have selected 3Bar Biologics at this year's competition. The biologics market is rapidly growing, but struggles with issues of efficacy and stability and 3Bar's innovative solution is poised to solve many of these challenges. We are excited about investing in Bruce and his team and being their partner in their growth."
"We are so excited to win this year’s AgSharks among such an outstanding group of agtech startups,” said 3Bar Biologics CEO Bruce Caldwell. “The access at this conference to industry leaders, venture capitalists, and western produce growers has been exceptional. Our business is all about partnerships, and this event is helping us to expand our network and increase our impact on agriculture and the world. I would like to thank Western Growers and S2G Ventures for putting on such a high impact event."
During the competition, the agtech startups pitched to six expert judges and a live audience where they were evaluated on the strength of their solution and potential to scale, among other assessment categories. The panel of judges, which was comprised of venture capitalists and leaders in the agricultural industry, provided feedback to each startup and advanced 3Bar Biologics to earn the investment offer.
The judges’ panel was:
- Alexandra Allen, Compliance Counsel, Main Street Produce, Inc.
- Audre Kapacinskas, Vice President, S2G Ventures
- Frank Maconachy, President and CEO, Ramsay Highlander, Inc.
- Dominic Muzzi Jr., CEO/COO, Muzzi Family Farms, LLC
- Cristina Rohr, Principal, S2G Ventures
- Aaron Rudberg, Managing Director and COO, S2G Ventures
The AgSharks competition was hosted by Stuart Woolf, President and CEO of Woolf Farming & Processing, and held during the Western Growers 2021 Annual Meeting at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar in San Diego. The audience members were encouraged to try to sway the judges' decision by asking questions and voting via mobile app Slido to "buy, try or deny" each of the finalists' technologies after their presentation; Naïo Technologies was the audience winner.
AgSharks premiered in 2017 with the goal of supporting game-changing startups and technologies, and since its inception, three agtech starts ups – Hazel Technologies, AgVoice and Burro – have received a total of $2.5 million in investment offers from S2G Ventures. More than 100 applicants applied for the AgSharks event in 2021.
The pitch competition is the latest WG effort to identify key innovations in the fresh produce industry and support agtech startups in bringing their technology to market. Previous efforts include opening an agtech incubator — the WG Center for Innovation & Technology — in December 2015, and earlier this year launching the AgTechX Ed initiative, which provides middle school to post-graduate educational opportunities in agtech.

RECENT turmoil surrounding AACL Holdings Ltd is expected to impact earnings as the grains producer today unveiled a new $28.8 million funding deal with international commodity supplier Glencore.
Subiaco-based AACL, which listed on the local exchange in April this year, said today that a review of its financial performance had been under way for some weeks.
“An announcement on revised earnings guidance for FY10 will be made as soon as possible., AACL said in a statement.
“AACL can confirm that recent events will result in lower production tonnages in FY10, with a consequent impact on revenue and earnings.”
The update comes some two weeks after the company’s managing director of six years, Andrew McBain, resigned to pursue other business interests.
In the lead up to Mr McBain’s resignation, AACL had received a query from the Australian Securities Exchange about its cash position after grains handler CBH Group walked away from a $50 million funding package.
The funding package was to pay contracted farmers to grow around 250,000 tonnes of grain – wheat, barley and canola – for the 2010 season on behalf of retail investors.
AACL and CBH had differing opinions about the funding structure and had pursued talks about alternative structures, however AACL today said that since June 15, it had been approached by international trading houses about possible funding solutions.
AACL has since determined that a proposal by Glencore Grain Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Switzerland company Glencore International AG, presented the best outcome for shareholders, contract farmers and project investors.
The new Glencore facility of up to $28.8 million supplements AACL's existing funding from retail investors of $24 million to fund the Grain Co-Production agreements with approximately 200 farmers across southern Australia.
AACL chairman Peter McEwen said AACL understood the impact that the uncertainty of funding has had on farmers.
“Unfortunately the ongoing negotiations between AACL and CBH Grain were unable to reach mutually beneficial commercial terms within a suitable timeframe,” said Mr McEwen.
“While we would have preferred a quicker resolution, with the funding in place earlier, we believe this outcome is in the best interests of our shareholders and our farmer stakeholders. Through this agreement with Glencore, those interests have been protected.”
Shares in AACL were down one cent to 11c at 0950 AWST.


2013 LEFT ITS MARK ON MONTHLY CONTINUATION CHARTS... Last year may be a memory, but 2013 made its mark on the monthly continuation charts. Following is an overview:
Corn: A wide $3.35 1/2 trading range was seen on the monthly continuation chart in 2013, with the front-month ending just off yearly lows. Key will be if funds lighten their short exposure to the market or continue to build on their near-record short position in early 2014.
Soybeans: Futures posted a $3.72 1/4 trading range on the monthly continuation chart in 2013 and ended in the lower one-third of the yearly range. The longer-term uptrend is intact, but is being challenged.
Wheat: SRW futures posted a $2.00 3/4 trading range in 2013 and ended just off the yearly low. The March contract is pivoting around the $6.00 level to start the year, which is near the lower end of the three-year trading range.
Cotton: Futures posted a 20.21-cent trading range on the monthly continuation chart in 2013 -- the narrowest since 2006. The top and bottom of last year’s trading range mark resistance and support, respectively.
Live Cattle: Futures posted a $16.80 trading range and an all-time high finish on the monthly continuation chart to close out the year. Bulls hold the technical advantage, raising the likelihood 2014 will mark the fifth straight year a new high is made.
Feeder Cattle: Futures posted a wide $36.55 trading range on the monthly continuation chart in 2013 and closed out the year by posting an all-time high finish. Like live cattle, feeders are poised to make 2014 the fifth straight year a new high is made.
Lean Hogs: Futures posted a $25.55 range on the monthly continuation chart and finished mid-range for the year.
SOUTH AMERICAN WEATHER 'UNEVEN'... Crop consultant Dr. Michael Cordonnier says while much of the attention recently has shifted to rains moving into dry areas of Argentina, he notes the weather across Brazil has been "uneven." He says rainy conditions are being seen across central Brazil, with some areas of Mato Grosso seeing near-daily rains. However, drier conditions in southern Brazil -- especially Parana, Mato Grosso do Sul and Sao Paulo -- are raising some crop concerns.
"If this is the peak of the rainy season, it's occurring a couple of weeks earlier than normal. At this point, it's impossible to say when the rainy season will end, but at least one meteorologist is predicting an early end to the rains," says Dr. Cordonnier, who says an early end to the rainy season would result in lower corn yields.
Dr. Cordonnier says much of the Brazilian soybean crop is flowering and setting pods and the most advanced crops are in their final stage of pod filling. He reports crop conditions are very good, as dryness is not yet a major concern for southern areas. He left his Brazilian bean crop estimate unchanged at 90 MMT and crop production at 68.5 MMT.
Dr. Cordonnier left his Argentine soybean crop peg unchanged at 56 MMT and says he has a neutral bias going forward, although says there is a possibility some late planted corn might be switched to soybeans. He left his Argentine corn estimate unchanged at 24 MMT, but says it could move lower. "We are not quite at the point where the corn yields could start to be impacted by the dry weather, but we could reach that point if these conditions persist into the first week of January," he says. "The first thing that could happen to the corn crop is a reduction in acreage due to the delayed planting and dry conditions."
NEW RULE COULD SPEED TRAFFIC AT PORT OF PARANAGUA... Dr. Cordonnier reports authorities at the Port of Paranagua in southern Brazil instituted a new program today that gives loading priority to vessels that will load from fewer exporters at the Public Corridor. "There are three berths in the Public Corridor and one of the three berths will be designated as the "express line" where vessels will load from three or fewer grain terminals. The goal of the new rule is to speed up loading at the port and reduce the waiting times for vessels," he says.
SOUTHERN PLAINS STILL DRY... According to the National Drought Monitor, drought covers 51.76% of the contiguous U.S., which is down from 53.65% the week prior, 60.43% three months ago and 72.78% a year ago. No changes were made in the northern and central Plains and the Midwest, since soils are frozen. But on the Southern Plains, light to moderate precip led to a one-category improvement in southern Texas and the removal of extreme drought near Corpus Christi. Nevertheless, the south saw a fractional increase in terms of drought coverage to 44.15%. However, this is still much better than three months ago when 73.8% of the region was dealing with some form of drought. See the maps.
U.S. CROP INSURANCE INDEMNITIES NEAR $7.9 BILLION FOR 2013 CROPS... U.S. crop insurance indemnities reached $7.859 billion as of Dec. 30, 2013, up more than $300 million from the prior week but still well behind the pace seen at this point for 2012 crops, according to Risk Management Agency (RMA) data. At this point a year ago, indemnities for 2012 crop losses had totaled $10.026 billion, which at that point was still behind the prior record payout mark of $10.861 billion that had been registered for 2011 crop losses. Payouts for 2012 crop losses eventually climbed to a record $17.427 billion.
So far, only corn and wheat have indemnity levels over $1 billion, with corn at $2.854 billion and wheat at $2.2 billion.
The loss ratio for the overall program stands at 0.67 for 2013 losses, with that ratio (total indemnities paid out against total premiums paid in) at 1.0 or greater for cotton (1.12), rice (1.82), sorghum (1.05), flue-cured tobacco (1.43) and wheat (1.12).
The level of net acres insured remains at a record mark of 295.620 million which is above the 2012 level of 283.094 million net acres insured and the 2011 level of 265.912 million net acres insured. The level of net acres insured has been at 250 million or above since the 2007 crop year. Get more details.

Minister Karpiński visits Zakłady Azotowe Puławy
On 8 July 2013, in the presence of the Minister of Treasury Włodzimierz Karpiński, innovative chemical investments in Zakłady Azotowe Puławy were commissioned.
One of the biggest investments in the recent years in the Polish chemical industry will increase production and storage capacity of the Puławy plant and significantly reduce emissions.
The visit of the Minister in the Puławy plant began with a meeting with the company management. Next, Minister Karpiński went to see the facility to evaluate the innovativeness of the commissioned investments. Facilities for flue-gas desulfurization (FGD), production of liquid fertilizers with the PULASKA sulphur and New Logistics Centre form a perfect proof of the consistent implementation of the objectives of the Integrated Investment Programme of Zakłady Azotowe.
Minister Karpiński praised the technological advancement of new installations. Environmentally friendly FGD system, as one of the few in Europe, uses an innovative ammonium method in the purification process. This allows to decreace air pollution by 80% and significantly reduces the concentration of sulphur dioxide. The installation for the production of ammonium sulfate or urea-based liquid fertilizers, built as part of the New Fertiliser Production Facility, expands the product portfolio, and thus contributes to the diversification of the company's market potential.
The Minister of Treasury also visited the New Logistics Centre for granular fertilizers. The plant is equipped with a new packing centre with a total loading capacity of over 240 tonnes/h, and a warehouse that can hold up to 13 thousand tonnes of fertilizers.
The three new investments will more effectively compete in the fertilizer industry and strengthen the position of leadership in the global chemical markets.
During the celebration of commissioning the installation, Minister Karpiński stressed that the Polish economy was building a competitive advantage in comparison to the developed countries. "The Puławy plant shows that it is managed sensibly and efficiently. The Company Management Board considers the profitability of its operations, but in a reasonable way and in terms of moving forward. For the company, these new installations mean new jobs and a stable future. As an associate of the Prime Minister, in charge of the Ministry of Treasury, I am proud of the Polish economy. These investments are evidence of the current strength of the Polish economy. For me it is a source of pride, as an inhabitant of Puławy, a minister and a Pole"- said Minister Karpiński.
The Azoty Group Zakłady Azotowe Puławy SA, as part of consolidation of the Polish chemical sector, became one of the pillars of the Azoty Group. The company is the first in Poland and the second in Europe producer of nitrogen fertilizers and the world's third largest producer of melamine.

It hasn’t been the best garden season. Some of the pallet plants died from neglect, pure and simple – not enough watering on my part. Hanging flowers suffered the same fate. Herbs are okay. When I’ve watered, they’re on the top of my list.
Approximately one third of the raised bed actually grew. The rest is weeds, pure and simple. I’ve done a little weeding of the actual vegetable successes,
And then the beans – the replacement beans! – were attacked. This was obviously a critter much taller than a rabbit. It looks like it climbed or jumped over the chicken wire fencing and was not deterred by the layer of green onions around the edges. In fact, it may have knocked over a few monster onions (if the hail and hard rain last week didn’t).
Readers, I don’t know why the pictures rotated left on me. WordPress isn’t playing nice with me here. Anyway, you can see where something nibbled about five feet off the ground and then left its mark on what little lawn we have left. Grrr.
I’m pretty sure I know what kind of critter visited, but I welcome your input. Anyone? Smaller than a moose, bigger than a rabbit, not a dog or cat. What do you think?

MUMBAI, Sept 25 (Reuters) - India’s cotton output may touch 32 million bales in the 2008/09, slightly higher than previous year’s estimated 31 million bales, a senior official said on Thursday.
“If the weather conditions remain good, I am optimistic that the crop output may touch 32 million bales,” A B Joshi, textile commissioner said in a conference.
Union Minister of Textiles ShankerSinh Vaghela told Reuters in May output may touch 35 million bales in year ending September 2009, but erratic monsoon trimmed the estimates.
“I am expecting cotton exports to take place this year also. But quantity will depend on world prices,” Joshi said.

In the West, the theme of “Russia's guilt” in the global food shortage is once again accelerating. A topic famous for the recent scandal, when it turned out that the grain from Ukraine, exported as part of a campaign that was given as assistance to the "poorest countries in the world", ended up in the territories of countries that are not in need at all. This time on a slippery topic, a fresh publication by The New York Times was noted, famously retrieving last year's training manuals in almost unchanged form, as if there were no revelations with supplies. The original publication is titled How Russia's War on Ukraine Is Worsening Global Starvation.
Hulking ships carrying Ukrainian wheat and other grains are stuck off the Bosphorus here in Istanbul, waiting to be inspected. […] Under diplomatic pressure, Moscow has begun to allow passage [from Ukraine] of some ships, but continues to restrict most supplies from Ukraine, which, together with Russia, once exported a quarter of the world's wheat. And in several ports, Russian attacks on the Ukrainian energy system periodically disable grain terminals where wheat and corn are loaded onto ships. A protracted global food crisis has become one of the most far-reaching consequences […], contributing to widespread hunger
says The New York Times.
The newspaper states that "the United States and its allies are trying to mitigate this damage."
American officials are working hard to help Ukrainian farmers get food for export via the rail and road networks to Eastern Europe and on barges along the Danube River. But as the deep winter rolls in and Russia attacks Ukraine's infrastructure, the crisis deepens. Food shortages are already exacerbated by drought in the Horn of Africa and unusually harsh weather in other parts of the world
- indicated in the text of the article.
The United Nations World Food Program estimates that more than 345 million people are severely food insecure or at risk, twice as many as in 2019.
Food shortages and high food prices are causing noticeable problems in Africa, Asia and the Americas.
US officials are particularly concerned about the problems in war-torn Afghanistan and Yemen. And Egypt, Lebanon and other major food-importing countries are struggling to pay off debts and other expenses due to a sharp increase in spending. Even in wealthy countries like the US and the UK, skyrocketing inflation, fueled in part by the war, has left the poor without food.
- continues to pump The New York Times.
However, just a few months ago, a number of Western publications argued the exact opposite, namely, that good harvests in Canada, Australia, India and other places made it possible to avoid major shocks related to food.

|Tuesday Products: "Green" Garden Pots|
|Written by Heleigh Bostwick Tuesday, 16 October 2012|
Unless you propagate everything yourself, you've probably got an abundance of plastic flowerpots in your garden shed or garage. And, despite the numerous pots in various sizes that you have on hand, it's inevitable that you don't have the size you need or want to transplant your newest prized possessions, so you need to buy more plastic flowerpots.
Plastic flowerpots are often the bane of sustainable gardeners, which is why it's great that alternatives are now available. Most flowerpots are made from polypropylene (the same stuff yogurt containers are made from), which is not accepted by recycling centers, although they can be reused of course. That's why it's nice to see plastic-free alternatives available now.
EcoForms makes their line of biodegradable long lasting, durable, and lightweight pots out of grain by-products such as rice hulls and other renewable grain husks. You can buy
Most seed starter pots are made from paper pulp, sometimes recycled, often times not. If you're looking for an alternative try CowPots (pictured above). Cow pots are a plastic-free alternative that is made from 100% composted, dried, odor-free, and compressed cow manure and are perfect for seed starters and later for transplanting. As expected they are completely biodegradable while adding nutrients to the soil.

Scions are twigs, not trees. They have no roots and will not grow if you plant them.
The deadline for ordering scionwood is February 17, 2023, for shipment around March 13. (Please note: we ship scionwood only in mid-March. If you would like to order rootstock to arrive in the same shipment, select mid-March shipping when adding the rootstock to your cart.)
We sell scionwood in two ways: By the stick: One 8" stick ($6 each) will graft 3 or 4 trees. By the foot: For orchardists grafting large numbers of trees of a particular variety, we also offer scionwood by the foot ($5.50/foot, minimum order of 10 feet per variety). In our own nursery work, we are usually able to graft 6-8 trees from one foot of scionwood.
You can graft right away or store scionwood for later use. It will keep quite well for several weeks stored in sealed ziplock bags in the refrigerator.
