The next USDA report is Acreage/Grain Stocks: June 29, 2018.
Market Comments for June 20, 2018
The market was mixed to higher today as traders sort through the trade war implications. Markets firmed following yesterday’s selloff after additional tariffs were threatened by the U.S. The recent drop in prices has made U.S. corn and beans some of the cheapest in the world which may entice some buying from countries that would typically get their grain from South America. The U.S./China trade spat has created shipping issues in Brazil as they are still recovering from a trucker strike last month that has left limited supplies of soybeans at the ports to ship to China. The weather in the Midwest remains active today, bringing rains to most growing areas through the weekend. Some areas will see more rain than is needed but overall the weather pattern over the next 10 days is seen as non-threatening to the early development of the crops.

Urban Farming in Chicago
Urban farming is a hot topic and a burgeoning movement. Unused spaces are being retilled for crops; retooled for integrated, vertical cultivation; and reapportioned as domains for chickens, goats, and bees. Is this a fad or a sustainable model that may end up redefining what we mean when we say “city”? Join Lee Bey (WBEZ architecture critic and former mayoral urban planning adviser), Naomi Davis (president and founder of Blacks in Green, a community development organization that prioritizes sustainability), John Edel (founder and executive director of The Plant), and Harry Rhodes (executive director of Growing Home, Chicago’s first and only USDA-certified organic, high-production urban farm) as they discuss the lay of the land, including how the new model creates opportunities for struggling communities and the ways in which Chicago fits into broader conversations about locally sourced agriculture.

Pride of Ringwood Hops Pellets - AU
Typical alpha: 9-10.5%. This Australian hop is used mainly for bittering, but aroma is profoundly resinous, fruity, and pleasant. Widely used in Australian ales and lagers.
Required for Australian Sparkling Ale. Australia's hop growing industry has made substantial efforts to improve the quality of their hops - whereas this varietal used to regularly express cohumulone values above 40%, it now closer to Cascade, around 32%.

Bloomberg’s Omar Tamo, Mohammed Hatem, and Alex Longley reported Monday that “the crew of a commercial ship in the Red Sea abandoned the vessel following a Houthi attack — the…
New York Times writers Matthew Mpoke Bigg, Anatoly Kurmanaev and Vivek Shankar reported on Sunday that, “The United Nations on Sunday awaited a response from Russia on renewing a deal that allows Ukraine to export its grain amid a wartime blockade, a necessity in helping keep global food prices stable.”
Ukraine is ready to continue exporting food. Russia must stop using food as a weapon and playing games with the lives of those who depend on these shipments, and the Black Sea Grain Initiative must be extended, expanded, and fully implemented to benefit people around the world. https://t.co/fU9KzNy7mD— Ambassador Bridget A. Brink (@USAmbKyiv) July 16, 2023
The Times article explained that, “In a bid to answer one of Russia’s key demands before this latest deadline [Monday], the United Nations secretary general, António Guterres, sent a letter to President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia last week with proposals that would ‘remove hurdles affecting financial transactions’ through Russia’s agricultural bank ‘and simultaneously allow for the continued flow of Ukrainian grain through the Black Sea,’ according to a U.N. statement.
“Two days later, Mr. Putin called the deal a ‘one-sided game,’ again threatening to pull out of it because of what he considered unmet conditions, Tass, Russia’s state news agency, reported. ‘We may suspend our participation in this agreement. And if everyone reiterates that all promises given to us will be fulfilled — let them fulfill these promises. And we will immediately join this agreement. Again,’ he said, according to Tass.”
“One cargo ship departed the Ukrainian port of Odesa on Sunday, bound for the Netherlands. The last shipment before that had been Thursday,” the Times article said.
Bigg, Kurmanaev and Shankar added that, “But the volume of grain exported from the Ukrainian ports in the Black Sea has been slowing in recent weeks, according to U.N. data. The same thing happened weeks before the deal’s previous expiration date, in May.”
On Friday, Bloomberg writers Megan Durisin, and Michael Hirtzer reported that, “Wheat and corn futures rose for a second session as uncertainty looms over the Ukraine grain deal nearing its expiration.”
Also Friday, Dow Jones writer Kirk Maltais reported that, “Traders are putting more stock into the idea of Russia stepping away from the Black Sea grain export deal, this after threatening to do so multiple times since the deal was reached a year ago. The agreement is set to expire July 18, and traders are again mulling the possibility of Russia leaving it.”
On Saturday, Bloomberg News reported that, “Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke with South African counterpart Cyril Ramaphosa and sounded a downbeat note on the Black Sea grain deal that expires on Monday.”
On Sunday, Reuters writers Iryna Nazarchuk and Dan Peleschuk reported that, “The last ship to travel under a U.N.-brokered deal that allows the safe Black Sea export of Ukrainian grain left the port of Odesa early on Sunday ahead of a deadline to extend the agreement, according to a Reuters witness and MarineTraffic.com.
“Russia has not agreed to register any new ships since June 27 and the initiative will expire on Monday unless Moscow agrees to extend it.”
Meanwhile, in its monthly Grain: World Markets and Trade report last week, the USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) indicated that, “As the 2022/23 trade year (TY) draws to a close, Russia has solidified its standing as the world’s top wheat exporter. With record production of 92.0 million tons, Russia total wheat supply exceeded 100.0 million tons for the first time. With ample supplies, no export restriction for the entire year, and competitive prices, Russia is estimated to export 45.5 million tons in 2022/23. Its primary destinations are in the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia.”
The FAS update noted that, “Conversely, Ukraine planted area is down significantly as a result of the war with Russia. Production in 2023/24 is forecast at 17.5 million tons, the smallest crop in over a decade. With sharply reduced supplies and uncertainty surrounding the future of the Black Sea Grain Initiative (BSGI), 2023/24 Ukraine wheat exports are forecast lower at 10.5 million tons, down over 40 percent from the pre-war average (2016/17-2020/21).
“While the BSGI helped Ukraine export 16.8 million tons of wheat in 2022/23, 39 percent of wheat moved outside of the grain corridor (primarily via land shipments to Eastern Europe). Ukraine export destinations shifted dramatically from Asia and North Africa before the war to primarily Europe during the war, mostly due to ease of shipment and increased demand in some EU member states because of drought.”
On Monday, Reuters writer Michelle Nichols reported that,
A pact that has allowed the safe Black Sea export of grain from Ukraine for the past year will expire at the end of Monday after Russia said it will suspend its participation.
The article stated that, “Russia has officially notified Turkey, Ukraine and the United Nations that it is against extending the Black Sea grain export deal, the RIA news agency reported on Monday, citing Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.

Your Call: How is the drought affecting California agriculture?
On the May 5th edition of Your Call, we’ll continue our weeklong series on California’s water crisis by discussing the agriculture and its heavy reliance on water. Agriculture uses 80 percent California’s water, but was largely left out of Governor Jerry Brown’s first-ever limits on water use. Should agriculture be subject to limits? What are alternative models for agricultural production in California? Join the conversation on the next Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Members of the Riverpark Action Group (and their family members!) along with Woodside Community Garden volunteers gave up some of their free time last weekend to raise funds for the garden by running a sausage sizzle at Mitre 10 MEGA Henderson. The event was a success as we made a profit of $411.80 for the garden. We’d like to thank Mitre 10 for giving us the opportunity to participate and for providing the BBQ and gas. Thanks go to everyone who bought a sausage from us. It is very much appreciated!


Risk of frost, but an advisory might not be issued for certain areas. Here's why:
KITCHENER -- After a rainy start to the week conditions are forecast to clear, but as temperatures remain cool the risk of frost returns for parts of southwestern Ontario.
Environment Canada has issued frost advisories for various parts of the region, including Oxford, Brant and Norfolk counties, as patchy frost is expected overnight and early Thursday morning, returning again Friday morning.
Cool, calm and clear
Are conditions favourable for frost to occur in your area? If so, you might be wondering why there’s no frost advisory in place.
Environment Canada issues public weather alerts based on a specific criteria, and that criteria will change for different locations.
EC issues Frost Advisories when temperatures are expected to reach the freezing mark during the growing season, leading to potential damage and destruction to plants and crops.
EC shared a tweet explaining the dates in which advisories will be sent out for each region in the province.
“New for this summer, we’ve changed the dates of our frost season across much of Ontario. These images show the first date we will issue a Frost Advisory ( if frost is forecast ) for your region,” the service said in the tweet.
For Waterloo Region, that means Frost Advisories will start being issued on May 7, if and when frost is forecast.

I’m writing to you atop a toasty heating pad with a fuzzy purring cat snuggled into my lap. I’m relishing in the coziness here as we braved a dreadfully cold and soggy afternoon in the field harvesting. Although dreary now, we were fortunate to really take in and savor these last few days of beautiful fall weather surrounded by visiting family, among the colorful trees, filled up with tasty home cooked meals, and around the crackling fire. We’re fortunate to be slowing down and to have this time to share with the ones we love.
While we were away, the veggies kept on growing and are coming at you this week with a big green bang! With a very cold snap coming towards us at the end of the week, we are preparing to bid our remaining tender greens goodbye and so, are stocking you all up with a fresh abundance, and here’s what she looks like!
- Salad Mix
- Herb Choice
- Salad Turnips
- Winter Squash
MORE TO COME
While there is plenty to enjoy this week – I couldn’t help but get excited and pluck a few winter delights from the ground on our field walk this morning and was elated to see the beauty before my eyes!
Just a reminder that the final regular CSA week will be next – the same as the election…Don’t forget to vote!!!!
The final CSA pick-up will be the Saturday before Thanksgiving – November 21st for all members!
- 10-12 on farm in Gardiner
- 2-4 at Hudson Valley Brewery for Beacon/Garrison folks
As the end of the season approaches, we’ve had lots of inquiries about veggies for next season. While I cannot make any promises …we are working on getting some farmer friends from Second Wind past to fill our void with a temporary drop off in the Gardiner area for next season. Stay tuned for any progress here in the weeks to come. Nourishing you all means so much to us – even if we can’t be the ones growing it.
Sending you all lots of love!

Jump-start your yield potential
Plants that get off to a fast, uniform start are proven to be more vigorous throughout their life cycle and are in the best position to maximize their growing potential. Seed bed conditions at planting are the determining factor for whether or not this great start happens. The industry leading Case IH Tiger-Mate 200 field cultivator and crumbler team up to create a firm, level seed bed. The Case IH Tiger-Mate 200 and Crumbler® are the perfect seed bed preparation team to give you the best chance for a great season.
The optional one-way pivot allows the
stabilizer wheel to pivot when it is on
the inside position of a turn to maintain
proper depth control and reduce side
loads on the wheel and tire. A stop built
into the stabilizer wheel prevents the
wheel from wobbling when operating in
a straight line or on the outside of a turn.
A bridge frame design is used for the
ultimate in strength and performance.
5-bar frame utilizes 76 x 102 mm side-to-side and 51 x 51
mm front-to-rear tubing.
Lap welds are used to increase
strength and extend frame life.
The unique flexible design of the
coil-tine harrow prevents skips and
gouges when going over terraces and
through draws, while keeping it level
from front to back and side to side.
Depth and level adjustments are
eliminated for maximum productivity
in the field.
Case IH Advanced Conditioning Systems
increase your profit potential two ways:
by improving seed bed conditions,
and thereby yields, and by increasing
operator efficiency. Like the Case IH
coil-tine harrow, these systems have
no depth or level adjustments.

A domestic fertilizer company says U.S. corn acreage is expected to drop to 88 million in 2017 from the 94.5 million planted acres reported this year by the Department of Agriculture. CF Industries made the projection while unveiling to investors the company’s first financial loss since 2010. Agri-Money reports corn plantings at the level suggested by CF would match those in 2015, which set a six-year low. A drop of the magnitude suggested has not been seen since 2008, when corn acreage tumbled by some 7.5 million acres. The drop is also greater than the decline suggested by Informa Economics, which two weeks ago estimated U.S. corn plantings next year at 90.97 million acres. CF Industries made its comments as it unveiled a loss of $30 million for the July-to-September quarter, compared with earnings of $90 million a year before.

Thanks to all - moving it this weekend fingers crossed it survives!

Pineapple, called Ananas comosus, or Bromelia pineapple is a tropical herbaceous plant originating in Brazil, the Caribbean, or even in Central America. It is part of the Bromeliad family. The name comes from the Native Americans who called it “naná naná”, which means “perfume of perfumes”.
The plant requires well-drained, rich, acidic soil. A pineapple takes fourteen to twenty months to reach maturity from planting to harvest. Force Ultra Nature organic dried pineapples are cut into slices which are placed in a solar drier until they are dehydrated. It normally takes three days.
The benefits of dried pineapple
Pineapple is a source of cellulose, a fiber used to improve the functioning of the digestive system, in particular by promoting digestion and avoiding constipation problems.
Pineapple is also known for its anti-inflammatory action. Indeed, the bromeline it contains would inhibit the production of prostaglandin, the substance responsible for inflammation.
The vast majority of the fibers contained in pineapple are insoluble fibers, that is to say that they stimulate your intestinal transit, slow down the absorption of sugars and fats by the body, and increase the feeling of satiety


Lawn Care Tips – Shade
A healthy lawn contributes to your property value and the overall appearance of your neighborhood. It provides a natural, safe surface where your family can play and relax. By following a few simple tips, you can keep your lawn healthy and environmentally beneficial.
Shade: Lawn grasses need at least 4 hours of direct sunlight for healthy growth. If the lawn receives much traffic, it should get 6 hours of direct sun daily.
Select the right species of grass to ensure you’ll have a healthy lawn in shady areas. Creeping red fescue tolerates shade better than Kentucky bluegrass. Don’t mow any shorter than 3 inches in the shady areas of your lawn. Fertilize and water shady areas less than the sunny part of your lawn. If you’re having difficulty maintaining grass cover in areas where people walk, put in a stone or bark chip path to keep traffic off the grass. Often shade-tolerant ground covers are an excellent alternative to grass in shady areas that don’t need to carry traffic.
All work done by Maxigreen will be performed by professionally trained applicators who truly care about the health and appearance of your lawn. We offer you over 20 years experience in the lawn care industry. You can be guaranteed professionals will service your lawn.
Choose from any one of our four programs that are guaranteed to give you a lawn to be proud of, and save you money. If at any time during your program you are not completely satisfied, call us, we will return and re-apply as required with no cost to you to ensure your complete satisfaction.
*Accounts must be in good standing. Overdue balances will void the guarantee. Pricing includes up to 4000 sq ft of lawn.

The sod was delivered on time and in full and looked great. Over all, this place was the most competitive for prices and I never had an issue while speaking with them and placing my order.
Hi, My husband's experience with Korby Sod was fantastic. When I first called, everything was explained to me very well. Korby accepted credit cards, which is always a plus, since we don't like to carry cash. My husband said the employees were great to work with. As a business owner himself, it means a lot to hear compliments about employees. We also liked the pallet return system. Thanks for this opportunity to comment on your company. PS The property you are located on is beautiful!
I have had sod installed in Northern Colorado and in the past, I was pleased with the work and the outcome. However, after having sod installed in my residence in Fort Collins by Korby Sod, I have to say that the result far exceeded my expectations. First, the quality of the sod was superb. The crew arrived in a timely fashion and took ample time to prepare the area, removing weeds, adding mulch, leveling the land, etc. The prep work was far better than what I have seen from other installers. Next, the sod was laid according to the plan that I described, except that, the expert sod layers made the finished product look better than I had drawn. I cannot express how pleased my family and friends are with the result! It looks like Disneyland. Now, we need to add mulch and other landscaping features around the grassy areas to create a finished look. We will have to up our game to match the quality that Korby Sod's crew provided. Finally, I want to say that it was a pleasure working with the front office. Kyle was very helpful and answered all my questions prior to the job, and Kyle and his colleagues followed up with me after the job to make sure everything was to my satisfaction. Thank you very much! I have already recommended Korby Sod to others in my neighborhood.
We ordered Korby Vortex sod after discussing the sod options with Kyle. He was very informative and helped us make a great selection. We have had our sod in now for three weeks and it looks wonderful. Our neighbors have commented on how nice it looks. It was growing within the first week after it was installed. The process was so easy and Kyle was so friendly I would highly recommend Korby Sod to anyone in the market for sod.
I purchased 540 sq ft of sod from Korby Sod, and the product was of very high quality. The staff were very helpful with any questions that I had over the phone. I would recommend their product for anyone in the process of landscaping their home and/or business.
The team at Korby Sod was so easy to work with. They provided multiple quotes, sod recomendations and accomidated our schedule change. Install for our residence is Saturday, yet another "above and beyond: accomidation. Thank you Korby Sod - will certainly recommend your company!
Korby Sod was amazing to work with. The staff was really informative, nice and patient as I had a lot of questions. They delivered our sod on time and the quality was perfect. I would recommend them to anyone that is looking for quality service and a good quality product.


Tough Farm Economy Fails To Slow Land O’Lakes From Record Earnings Year
Strong gains in its crop inputs business pushed Land O’Lakes Inc., one of the largest food co-ops in the nation, past its record earnings year last year to an all-time earnings high of $320 million in 2016.
Its June 2015 merger with United Suppliers, which produces seed and crop protection products among other things, provided significant sales growth in all three of Land O’Lakes’ business segments, the company said.
The Arden Hills-based food company’s crops inputs and insights business, which provides agriculture products and solutions to farmers, posted the biggest year-over-year gain. Compared to $4.8 billion in sales and nearly $190 million in earnings in 2015, the unit’s sales grew about 15 percent to $5.5 billion with earnings of $203 million.
Overall, Land O’Lakes took in revenues of $13.2 billion for the year. It posted sales declines in its other two units: $3.8 billion in dairy foods (down from $4 billion in 2015) and $3.8 billion in animal nutrition (down from $4.2 billion).
The company’s fourth quarter sales were flat with last year’s result at $3.3 billion. Earnings for the three-month period ending December 31, 2016, totaled $73 million, down from $116 million a year ago.
“We are pleased with another record year, particularly under current market conditions,” said Chris Policinski, chief executive of Land O’Lakes. “We attribute our continued strong performance to our ‘marketplace back’ approach to doing business, which is different from the production orientation of many of our competitors.”
Policinski described the company’s approach as a consumer-, customer- and farmer-facing strategy that has allowed it to develop new “value-added products” and services.
Construction on the food company’s new headquarters is currently underway. Last November, Land O’Lakes broke ground on an $80 million, 155,000-square-foot addition to its Arden Hills space.
The expanded facility will allow for the company to consolidate its workforce, who are spread among three campuses in Arden Hills, Shoreview and Roseville, as well as bring in an additional 200 employees.

Once A Year Fertilizer
Do more with less. Add up the benefits of a single, long lasting fertilizer application.
Less labor — Make one fertilizer application a season instead of four.
Less nitrogen —Use up to 40% less total nitrogen per year. Just two to three pounds of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet is all you need to keep turf lush, green, and healthy for six months or more.
Less clippings — Avoid growth flushes from the sudden release of nitrogen typical of ordinary fertilizers. Use less fuel and save money on mowing costs and clipping disposal.
More satisfied customers — Whether your customer is a demanding homeowner, a commercial client, or the local soccer league, rest assured you'll get compliments about the great-looking turf.
More environmentally friendly — The advanced generation,polymer coating gradually meters nutrients directly to the turf which minimizes potential losses to the environment, atmosphere or groundwater.

AgraQuest gets Brazil approval for Sonata
US biopesticide company AgraQuest has received commercial approval for its biofungicide, Sonata ( Bacillus pumilus strain QST 2808), in Brazil. Sonata is to be launched this year through distributor partner Iharabras. It is for the control of Alternaria spp and Botrytis spp on apples, onions and strawberries. The companies are to work together on adding more crops to the product’s label over the “next several seasons”. Sonata is the first product to be distributed through Iharabras’ newly created low environmental impact Eco-Division. The Ministry of Health’s national health inspection agency, the Anvisa, approved B pumilis strain QST 2808 last year ( Agrow No 611, p 29). Sonata has been sold since 2004 in the US ( Agrow No 460, p 26), and has since been launched in Mexico and South Korea, while AgraQuest has agreed distribution deals in various Latin American countries.


Monsanto Beautifies Ben Parker Elementary School
Ben Parker Elementary School in Kaneohe is enjoying a spruced up look, courtesy of Monsanto Hawaii volunteers who donated $2,500 and 217 hours of volunteer time to help with painting and landscaping projects at the school.
“We appreciate the volunteers from Monsanto Hawaii who have helped with clearing overgrown areas and the landscaping at our school,” said Kathy Kahikina, principal of Ben Parker Elementary School. “They have contributed to the beautification of our campus as well as the monetary donation from their community service hours which helps us offset costs for student uniforms."
In addition, Monsanto employees also worked on a special project to build a raised garden bed that creates sensory activities for their autistic students, allowing them to touch, see and smell fresh flowers, tomatoes and carrot produce.

Hello, I'm going through bouts of insomnia lately, hence some of my odd ideas =P
On a rather tight budget this year so far, so I've been thinking that maybe I could use a truck load of straw bales to make raised beds with instead of more spendy wood...yeah, I know that they'll compost, but maybe it's worth a try.
Here in north Idaho on the Palouse, we go through a serious dry spell from Late June through to September sometimes, so I'm also thinking of mulches to keep the soil from drying out.
I've got gardening on the brain right now and I'm supposed to be spring cleaning!
I picked up a couple of Adirondack chairs last autumn, I'm going to have to re-paint them as right now they are an eye shocking blue lol!
So my garden and sitting area beneath the aspens is coming along in my head. I just need to get enough sleep to have some energy...losing 50 pounds wouldn't hurt either...
It's going to be a wonderful summer for projects!
I need a nap ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The construction of a high-capacity “Trostyanetsky” pig-breeding farm has started in the Ostrogozhsk district, located in the Voronezh region in Russia. The project is estimated at 1 bln roubles.
According to the local media, this is the second project of the German company Tönnies in the Voronezh region. Investors plan to construct a total of 10 pig-breeding farms in the area.
As early as in December 2016, the first batch of pigs will be supplied by the enterprise. The construction project for one more pig-breeding farm, named “Rastykaylovka”, is currently undergoing a governmental expert review. Following this examination, the construction of two more pig-breeding farms will begin in 2017 in the Voronezh region.
Investors intend to launch 10 pig-breeding facilities, with 2,500 animals each and with a general capacity of 65,000 tons of commodity pigs per year, in the region.


Winter is on its way
Leaves are falling rapidly, and wind and rain are on the increase. Tender plants (such as bananas) will need protecting from frost, gales and freezing rains. Move plants into the greenhouse, or into a sheltered spot, but if you can’t, it is worth wrapping plants or pots in situ. Remember winter can be a tough time for birds in terms of water and food, so keep supplies well topped up.

Soooo... this is kind of a random idea but I thought I'd see how it goes.
Spring will be upon us any minute (at least that's what I keep trying to tell myself...) and it's almost time to start seeds indoors. For this swap you will send your partner 3 different types of seeds (at least 4 seeds of each type so there's a better chance of germination). Please include the name of the plant, and any germination/growing info you have (sun/water requirements, sowing instructions, etc). The seeds can be collected by you, or store bought (please nothing with heavy chemicals added), NO invasive species or poisonous plants, seeds may be from last growing season as many of these are still perfectly fine. Seeds can be veggies, fruit, flowers, or whatever else you may happen to have!
This will not be profile based, but please send your partner a little note with their new seeds. Ratings should be based on whether or not receive your seeds, and the appropriate info to go along with them and not on whether or not they grow.
Bulbs may also be sent as long as they are not squishy or moldy (dead/rotting).
I will angel if necessary!

Riverland and Mildura-Swan Hill Rural Report for Monday the 21st of October 2013.
Stonefruit blemished in strong winds
Stone fruit growers in the warm inland regions of South Australia and Victoria say early season fruit will be blemished because of strong winds.
The Swan Hill, Sunraysia and Riverland regions have experienced wind gusts of up to 80 kilometres recently, as well as frosts and days with hot, dry northerly winds.
Renmark North stone fruit grower Dino Ceracchi says he can't remember spring weather so variable.
"We're going from cold, to warm, with lots of hot windy weather. It's all over the place and I don't think it's doing the fruit much good."
A day with the Ring Master
Their shared love of agricultural shows and horses brings them together just once a year.
And with more than 100 years' experience between them, it's clear they know a thing or two.
High above the Mildura Show, the ring master and his trusty sidekick ensure activity on the mains ovals is running smoothly.
With just over 46,0000 bales offered nationally, last week's wool market saw a slight correction on the previous week.
The Eastern market indicator fell 14 cents to 1,113 cents.


confirmed a report The American Foreign Policy magazine published that Russia will not be able to withdraw from the Ukrainian grain export agreement because it will harm its biggest friends at the current stage. China and Turkey.
The report indicated that China is the largest beneficiary of the grain deal, as it benefited from nearly a quarter of the total exports approved under the deal, noting that it has long been one of the most important customers of Ukrainian grain.
The report quoted Caitlin Welch – director of the Global Food Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies – as saying that China has a strong interest in continuing the grain initiative, and it is one of the largest beneficiaries of it.
The report adds that this is the main problem that burdens Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose hands appear to be tied, especially since Turkey also has an interest in continuing the grain deal.
Alexandra Prokopenko, a former official in the Russian Central Bank, stated that the deal has become a “political burden on Russia”, and it clearly shows that Putin needs Chinese President Xi Jinping and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan more than they need him.
According to the report, Russia has tried to pressure to ease the sanctions in return for continuing the deal, but the desire not to offend its main partners makes it difficult for it to achieve what it aspires to.
The magazine quoted former US Department of Agriculture chief economist Joseph Glauber as saying that Russia’s calculations depend on “the extent of its ability to keep its allies happy,” adding, “I think that ending the agreement will be viewed very negatively by China and by developing countries as well.”
The Foreign Policy report stressed that stopping work with the grain agreement means new tensions in the Moscow-Beijing relationship.
On Wednesday, the Turkish president announced the extension of the agreement to export Ukrainian grain through the Black Sea ports for an additional two months, a day before Russia’s possible withdrawal from the agreement due to obstacles it said stood in the way of its exports of grain and fertilizers.
On July 22, 2022, Istanbul witnessed the signing of the “Initiative Document for Safe Shipping of Grains and Foodstuffs from Ukrainian Ports” between Turkey, Russia, Ukraine and the United Nations.
The agreement included securing stranded grain exports in Ukrainian ports on the Black Sea (eastern Europe) to address the global food shortage, which threatens a humanitarian catastrophe.
The grain export agreement was scheduled to expire on May 18, before the extension agreement was reached.

Out In the garden …
:: I’m Love, Loving the very late season cucumbers. It’s always surprising how far I can push plants into the next ‘season.’ With frost expected early next week, I will pick the last of the cucumbers later today. Along with the basil and lettuce.
:: Lots of volunteer lettuce have popped up in my carrot rows. These tiny lettuce will be eaten whole. With the last of the cucumber, the last 6 cherry tomatoes and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar it can be a ‘Last hurrah to summer salad…’
:: Finally the Calendulas are flowering. Once there is sufficient blooms I will be making this lotion/ salve. I.can.not.wait!
:: The back verandah and herb garden are looking miserable. *Sigh* Some days I need to split myself into 2. But with a few spare hours this weekend, I will be sweeping, scrubbing, weeding and planning. Oh the plans I have for this little area! A Big white table, water feature, rock edging and flowers for winter colour.
:: And finally here is Max sporting a Mama made PJ top (that he refused to take off for a whole day) and his version of smiling for the camera! It still surprises me he is 26 months old already, how time flies.
The poor pepino suffered severly in the frosts over winter, but I left it in the ground hoping it might comeback. Two weeks ago I noticed a little green shoot and after the recent rain, it is now up above the mulch and powering on.
We grow chillis as Tony loves hot food. Most of them survived winter and are starting to show signs of flowering again. We are yet to find out what type they are, I grew them from the Diggers Club ‘Hellfire Mix’.
This poor plant was cut back by the frost quite hard, but has new shoots growing from the base. I will leave the dead bits on for another week or so incase we have another frost (I doubt we will) this will protect it from further damage.
We have had a few weeks of heavy frosts, and some of the more tropical plants are suffering. This is a dragon fruit, it was in a sheltered spot and covered but it still froze! I will pot it up tomorrow, give it abit of TLC and hope it will survive!
This is the Chocolate Sapote. It is a tropical plant, but should’ve handled our climate, but it too has been burnt. This one surprised me as it was kept was in the nursery section of the garden. Which is a sheltered spot that shouldn’t get frost, obviously not by its blackened leaves.
Hopefully we are near the end of the frosts for the winter season!
I don’t think the Pepino will survive, we have had a few heavy frosts this week & I noticed this today while watering.
It has only been in for a few weeks and is 3/4 black now, but I will leave it as is until the frosts have all passed and see what happens.
Have you lost anything with the frosts?

“It’s time to declare a state of emergency on food” Actor Seun Jimoh begs the Nigerian government
Actor Seun Jimoh has recently taken to social media to address the Nigerian government.
In an open letter to the government, he advised them to declare a state of emergency on food production. He stated that the only time there should be famine in the land is if there is a war or if there are no arable lands.
He further expressed that there should be no reason why food should be scarce in Nigeria.


Discover three stunning perennials that can elevate your garden and bring joy to your gardening endeavors this season. Take a closer look:
- Yarrow: Thriving in sandy soil and full sun, Yarrow is well-suited for drought-prone areas. With its rapid spreading habit, it creates a remarkable impact in the garden.
- Balloon Flower: Sporting beautiful purple blooms that balloon before opening, this perennial performs well in the Wisconsin area (zones 4 and 5). Consider staking it to showcase its tall and straight growth, adding charm to your garden.
- Aster: Are you seeking to attract more butterflies and pollinators? Look no further than Aster. With slightly moist soil and proper care, it can reach impressive heights of 6 to 8 feet. This versatile perennial thrives in various light conditions, making it a delightful choice for your garden.
If June is your preferred month for planting shrubs, ensure you have a well-planned watering schedule in place. Nothing is more disheartening than returning from a weekend getaway to find your newly planted shrubs wilted beyond recovery. If you’ll be away for an extended period, consider asking a neighbor, friend, or family member to tend to your yard. Additionally, shrubs that have already bloomed early, such as Forsythia and certain lilac species, can now be pruned. However, remember that premature pruning may hinder or shorten their flowering potential for the current season.
Are unsightly tent worms infesting your trees? It is crucial to address them properly before they spread and cause extensive damage. Avoid cutting them out unless you plan on immediately burning them or sealing them in an airtight bag to dry out in the sun. Dispose of the bag of dead worms in your trash. Cutting out tent worms without killing and disposing of them can lead to their proliferation and the destruction of other trees. A more convenient method to deal with tent worms before they hatch is to drench their nests using a spray tank and an insecticide containing permethrin, bifenthrin, cyfluthrin, and/or malathion.
To maintain a lush and healthy lawn during the hot summer months, occasional watering may be necessary. Contrary to popular belief, it is best to water your lawn early in the morning rather than around noon when it’s hottest. This allows the water to penetrate deep into the roots, where the turfgrass can efficiently absorb it.

“My vegetable love should grow
Vaster than empires, and more slow.”
There is nothing, absolutely nothing that makes me happpier than stopping by the Farmers Market on a Saturday morning. We have some serious winters here, and a pavilion that smells like ripe melons, bundles of herbs, onions, cut flowers and ropes of fresh garlic is really heaven on earth after months of a natural world set on “mute.” I do my best cooking during market season; it’s possible to find something new to experiment with almost every time I go (tiny Thai peppers, little white eggplants, bitter melons, 10 different kinds of garlic) and there are recipes I save all year until the necessary ingredients are available in a fresh and local incarnation. I’m not saying I never buy green pepper or carrots at the grocery store during the winter, sighing over my giant carbon footprint and the fact that I am buying foods bred to be portable rather than flavorful. I do. It’s different, though, to make chile verde using peppers that a farmer grew and picked less than 20 miles from my house. It makes me feel all authentic and organic…and it tastes better.
Every year I decide that, in addition to shopping the market, I am going to grow some things of my own, and that I am going to “put up” some things for winter. I have an irrational fear of the canning process, but I just read an article explaining that it’s really not all that complicated…one only needs the ingredients and a recipe, jars, lids, seals, stockpots and tongs. It seems likely that if I can make croissants from scratch, I should be able to can things. So I am dreaming again, dreaming about preserves made of peaches, plums, berries, and combinations thereof. I am fantasizing about chutneys, pickled watermelon rinds like the ones Mrs. Wolf used to make, corn relish, apple butter, and pickles. Well, I’d like to make pickled everything – pickled green beans, pickled peppers, and carrots and onions like we get at the Taco Truck. I’d like to cook and can tomato sauce when the tomatoes are at their freshest, and onion marmalade and garlic confit. I picture rows of gleaming jars in my basement, a veritable fleet of goodness captured to nourish my family during the months of whiteness and dormancy. I believe can do that stuff, because it’s cooking. There may be some planning and discipline involved, but I know that (although I may not put up everything I have listed because I am not actually Ma Walton) I can preserve some of what is best and freshest.
Gardening, however, is another matter. When we moved into this house, there was a sort of shade garden, complete with a stone path and decorative trees; within months I had pulled it all up, because I was going to have a garden My Way. My preferences included some marginally thought out combination of English cottage garden flowers like Hollyhocks, Morning Glories and climbing roses. There would also be a tidy plot of herbs and vegetables, strawberries growing in those cute strawberry pots with little holes in them, and a tee pee of sticks covered with sweet peas and runner beans, that Sam and his friends could play in. Mornings, I would head out with my clippers and trug and cut flowers for the house as if I were living at Manderly, and in late afternoon I would harvest herbs, salad greens and side dish vegetables.
Ten years later, Sam is taller than the tee pee would have been (and would be mortified at the notion that he and his friends might play in a tent made of beans), and things are pretty much as I left them after tearing everything up. It turns out that the garden I destroyed was carefully planted because there is no sun on this lot, anywhere, ever. Well, more accurately, there is a solitary rectangle of sun about the size of a twin bed that moves around the house from East to West as the day progresses, providing enough sun to please the sorts of things that I pulled up – fuschias, ferns, and some other thing I just didn’t like. I left a Peony, because I loved it, and the Rhododendrons, and the Lilies of the Valley, but this flora is scattered all over hell and gone and is not so much a “garden.” One year I actually tilled a patch and planted vegetables and herbs. The vegetables all sprouted and died (although the green peppers made a valiant effort) because the soil was still too hard and heavy, and there wasn’t enough sun. Most of the herbs still return each spring, which is great if I can find them – I am frequently seen on a July evening on my hands and knees in the “garden” pulling at green things, sniffing them, nibbling them, and deciding whether they are Oregano or Ragweed.
This year, I am going to try a moderate approach based on the fact that there is no sun, and that I clearly don’t know what the hell I’m doing. I am going to grow a small selection of things in large pots – green peppers, cherry tomatoes, strawberries, lettuce, herbs, things like that. I am going to plant them in the proper kind of soil in their pots, and I am going to move them during the day so that they get enough sun. It’s really no harder than walking the dogs, and if I’m careful not to put too much soil in a pot I should be able to move them as needed without having to buy some sort of decorative garden hand truck. This plan, of course, forecloses the possibility of root vegetables, which would have to be planted in pots the size of trash cans, or my tee pee of beans…although I could maybe have a little one of those, I guess. If I can do this, and end the season with something appealing and edible, then maybe next year I’ll be ready to make a real garden again…probably no Hollyhocks or heirloom roses, but something pretty, and home-y to keep my herbs and vegetables company. Then maybe I can get some chickens and a goat, and have fresh eggs and goat’s milk, and make yogurt and cheese…..

Res2ValHUM – Valorização de resíduos orgânicos: produção de substâncias húmicas
The project, led by the University of Minho, was one of the projects approved in the First Call of the Interreg V-A Spain-Portugal Program with an amount of more than 2.1 million euros. This project is included in Axis 3, “Sustainable growth through cross-border cooperation for risk prevention and better management of natural resources”, with the participation of partners from Galicia, namely SOGAMA and CVAN and with the University of Santiago de Compostela. Also participating are companies from Northern Portugal, Lipor and Braval and also the CVR. The general objectives are to promote composting as an instrument for the management of organic waste, with the consequent reduction of the amount of waste deposited in the landfill, and the recovery of the compost produced in applications with high added value. The organic waste streams produced in the northern region of Portugal and Galicia will be characterized and the compost produced will be evaluated and optimized for the content of humic substances, their chemical profile and biological activity. The aim is to increase the quantity and quality of the compound produced, not only by the partner institutions of the project, but also by other entities of this region. The humic substances have water retention capacity, ion exchange and fertilizer, being applied in the treatment of agricultural soils to reduce their degradation. It is also possible to use them in cosmetic products, nutraceuticals, among others, enhancing new areas of business and employment.

Miratorg to invest $ 53 million in oil production
30 August 2018
Miratorg, one of the largest Russian agroholdings, engaged in meat manufacturing and crop production, intends to build an oil-extracting plant in the Orlov region of Russia by 2020. The agroholding and the government of the region have already agreed upon the investment project worth RUB 3.6 billion ($ 53 million). The plant is to process sunflower, soy and rape. The expected amount of production equals 170,000 tonnes of vegetable oil and 230,000 tonnes of oilseed meal per year.

If you're planning to enter some of your garden harvest in your State Fair
, you better go big or go home! It's no surprise that mammoth pumpkins, squash, watermelons and cabbage heads bring home the blue ribbons. Take a look at these record-setting vegetables
The massive pumpkin
(1,392 lbs.) above is the pride of Vermont Giant Vegetable Growers Association. In 2008, Mark Breznick and his wife won multiple awards for not one, not two, but three giant pumpkins! Oh, what jack-o'-lanterns they must have made!
No, it's not photo-shopped. This ridiculously large head of cabbage
is the real deal, grown by Alaskan gardener John Evans. Evans has more than 40 years of gardening experience and comes from a line of expert horticulturists. He and his wife have won more than 180 first places in the Alaska State Fair competitions in both quality and giant vegetable categories, and also hold 18 State and seven World Records.
At 1,234 lbs., this squash
could easily squash you (and me). The 2007 Guiness Book of Records inductee was grown by Brad Wursten of the Netherlands. He had to use a crane to put the massive squash on display!
To win blue ribbons
, do you need 1,000 pound veggies
? Probably not. But think of the photo ops!


President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky discussed the intensification of work on security guarantees for Ukraine with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
“Talked with Boris Johnson. Told about the situation on the front. Received confirmation of a new enhanced defense support package for Ukraine. Raised the issue of intensifying work on security guarantees. Jointly with Great Britain, we’re looking for ways to avoid the food crisis & unblock ports,” Zelensky posted on Twitter.
As reported, Russia’s blockade of Ukrainian seaports hampers the deliveries of 7 million tonnes of wheat, 14 million tonnes of corn grain, 3 million tonnes of sunflower oil, and 3 million tonnes of sunflower meal to the world market. This has already led to record world market price spikes and will inevitably result in a global food crisis and rising inflation.

A higher area estimate raised the 2012/13 production forecast 8.0 million cwt to 191.0 million cwt. In contrast, 2012/13 imports were lowered 0.5 million cwt to 21.5 million cwt. On balance, these revisions resulted in a 12.5-million cwt increase in the 2012/13 total supply forecast to 247.0 million cwt.

THOLEN – Dutch fruit and vegetable exports to North America have already started, but Spanish pepper exports are also continuing well this winter, says Marcel van der Bloem of Feeling Fresh. “In October, a couple of hurricanes hit western Mexico, and that kind of wiped out production a little bit, and there was good demand for pepper throughout the winter.”
“We saw air freight rates relatively high in the first few months of last year. This year they are back to pre-pandemic levels. Now, Spanish peppers have been allowed to be exported to North America since mid-January. But that has increased demand. Fewer passenger flights with tourists to the US in the winter. “Therefore, the plane with the airspace was king,” says Marcel.
Demian van Duyenbot
“Because of the shortage, we were able to continue the Spanish season very well, and two weeks ago we started exporting the first Dutch peppers. You don't see that often, because the US is already on the market in March and certainly not. The price level is between 14 and 16 euros. That's a strong Not necessarily a prelude to spring, because you'll have to wait and see how high the demand is when Canadian production starts, but it's a good start to the season anyway.”
Marcel van der Bloem and Niels Ammerlaan
“Apart from chillies, we export a variety of packages. For example, eggplants were very expensive last year. This year the price has gone up a bit and exports continue to be steady. Dutch asparagus is also in demand. We have already exported the first Dutch chillies from the US. Rhubarb, chicory and Italian spinach are also in demand. Along with the products, we can offer our customers a variety of packages.”

Chet Cramer of St. Augustine, Florida, sent in pictures of his Bonnie Bell peppers in red orange and green, the first of more peppers he’s planning to grow in July. Chet said he keeps his peppers on the east side of his home to protect them from the afternoon heat. (They fruited by early August, right)
