NAIROBI -The Kenyan government has termed the decision by Russia to exit the Black Sea Grain Initiative is a stab on the back at global food security prices.
Kenya’s Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary Korir Singóei, the second ranking Foreign Affairs official, said in a tweet that the Russian move disproportionately impacts countries in the Horn of Africa already impacted by drought.
“The decision by Russia to exit the Black Sea Grain Initiative is a stab on the back (sic) at global food security prices and disproportionately impacts countries in the Horn of Africa already impacted by drought,” Korir said in response to a statement by UN Secretary General Spokesperson.
The Black Sea deal was brokered by the UN and Turkey in July last year to mitigate global food crisis, but Russia complains not enough grain has reached poor countries under the agreement.
According to Reuters, Russia struck Ukrainian ports a day after pulling out of the deal for safe Black Sea grain exports, even Moscow and Kyiv gave different accounts of fighting in northeastern Ukraine on Tuesday.
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on Monday said he deeply regretted the decision by the Russian Federation to terminate the implementation of the Black Sea Initiative – including the withdrawal of Russian security guarantees for navigation in the northwestern part of the Black Sea.
“This Initiative has ensured the safe passage of over 32 million metric tons of food commodities from Ukrainian ports. The World Food Programme has shipped more than 725,000 tons to support humanitarian operations – relieving hunger in some of the hardest hit corners of the world, including Afghanistan, the Horn of Africa and Yemen,” Guterres said in the statement.
Russia on Monday quit the agreement allowing the safe Black Sea export of Ukraine’s grain for the past year following its expiry, warning that it could not guarantee the safety of ships in a move the United Nations said would “strike a blow to people in need everywhere.”
It, however, suggested that if demands to improve exports of its own grain and fertilizer were met, it would consider resurrecting the Black Sea agreement.
However, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that a U.N. pact that aimed to help facilitate Russia’s shipments over the past year was also terminated.
“”The Black Sea Initiative — together with the Memorandum of Understanding on facilitating exports of Russian food products and fertilizers — have been a lifeline for global food security and a beacon of hope in a troubled world.
At a time when the production and availability of food is being disrupted by conflict, climate change, energy prices and more, these agreements have helped to reduce food prices by over 23 per cent since March last year,” he said.
EU High Representative Josep Borrell in a statement said they condemn unequivocally Russia’s decision to terminate the Black Sea Grain Initiative, saying it will only exacerbate the global food crisis.
“With its decision, Russia is further exacerbating the global food security crisis it created by its war of aggression against Ukraine and its blockade of Ukrainian sea ports. Russia must cease illegally blocking Ukrainian sea ports and allow freedom of navigation on the Black Sea,” Borrell said in the statement.
Data from the IPC shows more than 5.4 million people in Kenya and 6.6 million in Somalia will experience acute food insecurity through June 2023. About 11 million people in Ethiopia are severely food insecure due to the drought, according to the 2023 Humanitarian Response Plan.
The 2023 Global Report on Food Crises revealed a fourth consecutive year of increased populations facing high acute food insecurity in 2022. The report showed that drivers of acute food insecurity include conflict, economic shocks and weather extremes that are interconnected and mutually reinforcing.
The region has faced instability, with conflicts in Ethiopia, Sudan, South Sudan and Somalia.
The Center for Disaster Philanthropy (CDP) says in its report that after five consecutive failed and below-average rains, the humanitarian crisis in the Horn of Africa is expanding and deepening.
The World Food Programme further paints a grimmer picture, saying regardless of how the 2023 rains perform, extremely high humanitarian needs will persist through 2023 while a full recovery from a drought of this magnitude will take years.
A forecast from the Climate Hazard Center warned that the region is likely headed for a sixth poor rainy season this spring, from March to May 2023. In 2022, more than 20 million people in Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya needed food assistance, representing an increase in needs of more than 70 per cent compared to levels recorded during regional food security crises in 2016 and 2017.


At this time of year, weeds are novel. One of the first signs of spring. As daffodils and tulips emerge from the ground, so do shot weed, dandelion, and spurge to name a select few.
The sun actually feels warm as I putter around the garden. It's been several months since I've been able to saunter and see what's going on in my garden. In the winter, it's usually a mad dash to get out, take care of a few pressing tasks, and rush back inside before my fingers fall off! Today I didn't even need to wear liners under my gloves. This last week of sunny days has been luxurious. Forecasts threatened rain, but we managed just a misting here and there.
Early in the season, I don't mind filling up my bucket with weeds. The ground isn't frozen any more. The friable earth gives way to my dandelion weeder as I pluck these green culprits from the ground.
So for now, I don't mind the weeds. I have time to get everything ready for spring planting.

SAN ANDRES DE GILES, Argentina- Argentina’s economy was built on farming, on its famous beef, exported to Europe by the shipload. Since the Second World War, the industry has waned, leaving the country torn between its traditional methods and those brought over in the last fifty years.
Granja Las Ondinas offers you the best of both worlds. It’s a bio-dynamic farm, but one with workers who grew up on the country’s famous cattle ranches. The idea of Bio-dynamics dates back to 1924 and an Austrian, Rudolf Steiner. It’s amazing how far his ideas have spread, they are now used in over 50 countries worldwide. Las Ondinas is a very new farm, only five years old, and has been bio-dynamic since its inception. It produces milk, cheese, butter, yoghurt, dulce de leche, herbs and vegetables. Only a small amount of this is sold as the majority goes towards feeding the staff and volunteers. In order to make money, they are creating a name for themselves in the bio-dynamic community and in doing so, attract plenty of tourists.
Being bio-dynamic, their practices are for from what you’d expect at any farm. Fresh cow manure is mixed with cactus juice, flour, herbs, sand and ash and applied to all the trees. Moonwater is mixed with roasted ants and sprayed over the fields. Cow’s horns are filled with quartz and planted in the ground.
For more information on the biodynamic preparations:
In addition to the activities are all those you’d expect from a working farm; feeding the animals, putting them out to graze, cleaning the stables, plus in the dairy you can learn how to make award-winning cheese dip and dulce de leche.
Occasionally pigs and cows at the farm are killed for their meat and then used for lunches and barbecues. Watching an Argentine prepare a barbecue (or parrilla as they are known in Argentina) is seeing a man truly in their element. This is one tradition that definitely still lives on at the farm, but is one of few that remain for the workers. Raised on looking after cows in huge fields, with the sole purpose of providing good meat, it is interesting to hear their opinions on bio-dynamics and how it has affected their way of working. Preparing humus (which is an extremely fine and rich compost) takes a lot of time and effort. Manure from various different animals has to be collected individually, as well as leaves, sand, ash and soil, over a period of time. Upon the correct day in the biodynamic calendar, the variety of substances will be constructed into a compost heap, where it will be left for one year to completely decompose. Then it will be sieved, resulting in humus. For an old farm-hand used to just piling-up manure and waste whenever a large amount is accumulated this is a massive shift in attitude, especially considering the extra work that is required.
Las Ondinas is based in the province of Buenos Aires, between San Andres de Giles and Mercedes. For anyone interested in Biodynamic farming, dairy farming or farming practices in general, it is a really good place to stop. There are plenty of other WWOOFing options in Argentina, with farms in Mendoza, Chubut, Salta and Patagonia. There is huge diversity in Argentina’s landscape, and this is reflected in the farms. It is possible to volunteer in huge ranches as well as small organic gardens. More information on WWOOFing in Argentina can be found at .
Granja Las Ondina’s website can be found at .

Both annual and perennial flowers will continue to flower more vigorously throughout the blooming season with regular deadheading.
What Is Deadheading Flowers?
What does deadheading flowers mean exactly? I’m glad you asked because it is important for a vibrant flowering garden, so let’s dig in for a bit.
When you get a plant to produce beautiful flowers, you naturally want to keep that beauty going as long as possible. Deadheading is a big part of what you, the gardener can do to help the situation.
Deadheading flowers is the active and frequent removal of dead or faded flowers from a flowering plant.
That name – deadheading – may sound kind of brutal but it is precisely what you need to do if you want to keep you flowering annuals (and many perennials) in tip-top blooming form throughout their flowering season.
There are two main positive outcomes from doing it:
- It keeps the plant looking attractive by removing dead and dying flowers
- It sends biochemical signals to the plant telling it to redirect energy to producing more flowers – which is exactly what you want.
Why Deadhead Flowers?
Well the first reason, to keep the flowering plant attractive, is pretty self-explanatory since the whole reason we grow flowering plants is because of the beauty they bring to our garden. Dead and dying flowers tend to get in the way of that major outcome.
The second reason is pretty interesting. From a flowering plant’s perspective, the reason for being is to produce seeds to pass on to the next generation. That process starts with a beautiful vibrant flower that attracts pollinating insects and ends with a dead flower with seeds attached – job done right? No, not job done. Us pesky humans need to get in the way of that process and make the plant work harder for longer to fulfill its destiny. The payoff for us is a plant that keeps on producing those beautiful new flowers because some annoying person keeps coming along and removing everything further along the process other than the fresh flowers – annoying for the plant but great for the vigilant green thumb gardening human!
This approach works especially well for flowering annuals but is also a very useful approach for perennials as well.
To be honest, as far as garden tasks go, the whole process of being continuously vigilant and dutifully deadheading your garden flowering plants can become a bit tedious and seem a little never-ending. But the pay-off in new blooms is so worth the effort. I find the whole process quite mindful actually. It has become a positive habit for me to spend a few minutes every other day just cleaning up a plant or two while communing with nature. This is a little ironic since what I am actually doing is callously deciding the fate of the dead and dying flowers – I guess they don’t call it deadheading for nothing. Like I said though, the effort is well worth it.

So we have quotes in from two of the leading providers in the US. The benefits of their systems include pre-grown trays with soil preparations and adjustments already set for your growing zone. Essentially it is like buying "sod" for your roof versus planting from seeds. The cost is the largest hurdle, coming in at over $25 a square foot in most cases. So our little project of 500 square feet was easily coming to over $10,000.
Continued research led us to a very cool company called Geoproducts Corporation. They make an incredible amount of products for construction, irrigation, and general building. Their outdoor section is here
. They offer a Geodrein tray that is made from recycled plastic and is ready to install on a properly waterproofed roof. You snap the trays together, add a volcanic or pumice material for drainage, cover that with a geotextile that separates the roots above from the drainage material below, add your soil or growing material, and finally your plugs/plants.
The best news? The trays are $2.08 per square foot plus shipping. We are now looking to price out the other raw materials to see if we can save money with this approach. More to follow.

Since 2012, the AEGIC team has built strong support through the Australian grains supply chain by working closely with stakeholders and demonstrating the value we deliver to growers and industry.
In these interviews, inaugural AEGIC Director Matt Macfarlane, former CEO Richard Simonaitis, and Dr Hayfa Salman and Dr Siem Siah from AEGIC’s Sydney office reflect on AEGIC’s beginnings, challenges and successes.
Matt Macfarlane has been both an investor and an entrepreneur in early stage tech startups, actively participating in the startup eco-system in Perth for over 15 years. Matt was appointed as an inaugural Director of AEGIC and has been with AEGIC since the very beginning.
Dr Hayfa Salman
Hayfa Salman is the leader of AEGIC Sydney’s Analytical Services team, which is highly regarded as a key provider of grain and food quality testing services for the Australian grain and food industries. Ever since the Sydney team joined with AEGIC in late 2015, Dr Salman has also led research projects into whole grains for better health.
Richard Simonaitis was appointed AEGIC CEO in early 2016 and was a key driver of AEGIC’s success. Richard led the development of a new strategic plan which put delivering impact and stakeholder engagement at the centre of AEGIC’s work. Richard is now CEO of Grains Australia.
Dr Siem Siah
Siem Siah is a Senior Research Scientist with AEGIC Sydney. Dr Siah joined AEGIC Perth in 2014, before shifting to the AEGIC Sydney office in 2016. She has led several key research projects, including building a new Australian soft wheat industry for cookies and cakes, and Australian wheat for premium Chinese noodles.
AEGIC celebrates 10 years
AEGIC is celebrating 10 years of building long-term value for Australian grain growers.
AEGIC was established in 2012 by the Western Australian Government and the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) to increase value in the Australian grains industry.
AEGIC gathers, analyses and shares market intelligence the industry needs to breed, classify, grow and supply grain that markets prefer.
AEGIC Chair Ron Storey said the AEGIC team had evolved and worked tirelessly over the past decade to deliver tangible value to growers and industry.
“AEGIC has now built strong support through the grains supply chain, and an excellent reputation for Australian grains in domestic and international markets,” he said.
“We are delighted with the positive stakeholder support we receive, but equally we encourage their continued feedback so that we continue to improve.”
Earlier this year, GRDC and the WA Government reaffirmed their support for AEGIC through to 2025-26 with $24 million total core investment.
GRDC Chair John Woods congratulated AEGIC on a decade of delivering key market intel for Australian grain growers.
“Grain markets are dynamic and evolving and AEGIC has played and will continue to play a vital role in helping us understand signals and drivers that ensure Australia develops and maintains markets,” Mr Woods said.
“AEGIC has firmly focused on the long game in building pathways to new grain markets, developing value-added products, understanding consumer trends and customer requirements and providing critical market analysis to ensure our grain is given preferential treatment in global markets.
“We are looking forward to continuing to grow the strong partnership between AEGIC and Grains Australia to deepen our ability to get the best outcomes for growers in domestic and export markets.”
Mr Storey paid tribute to past AEGIC leaders, particularly former Chair Terry Enright and former CEO Richard Simonaitis for their key roles in steering AEGIC’s strategic direction.
“On behalf of AEGIC, I thank our Members DPIRD and GRDC for their continued support and their vision and courage for creating AEGIC ten years ago; it is paying dividends,” he said.
“Most importantly, thank you to the AEGIC staff and my fellow Directors for their dedication and professionalism.
“We look forward to continuing to deliver value for growers and industry in the next decade.”
AEGIC is an independent, not-for-profit company established in 2012 to increase value in the Australian grains industry.
Established in 2012, AEGIC is an investment of the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) and the Western Australian Government through the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD).
AEGIC has offices in Perth and Sydney staffed by leading industry experts. Facilities include research laboratories, pilot mill, pilot bakery and commercial analytical laboratories.
AEGIC’s primary beneficiaries are Australian grain growers. AEGIC works directly with industry stakeholders to create value opportunities throughout the value chain. They in turn distribute that value back to growers.
AEGIC’s activities ultimately deliver value to growers by:
- creating more market opportunities for Australian grains;
- fostering brand loyalty so customers have a longer lasting interest in purchasing Australian grain;
- maintaining access and/or price premiums in discerning markets;
- developing new market opportunities and high value alternative uses for Australian grain;
- improving market diversification to manage risk and develop new opportunities; and
- expanding on-farm risk management options by developing markets for a portfolio of grain types, classes and grades.
These benefits flow to all stakeholders across the grain supply chain.
Some of AEGIC’s most valuable work in recent years includes gathering and interpreting market insights to guide future wheat quality requirements, diversifying markets for Australian malting barley, stimulating demand for Australian feed grains, and developing innovative new oat noodle and oat “rice” products.
AEGIC is also helping establish a new soft wheat industry for the fast-growing Asian cookies and cakes category, in collaboration with breeding companies and the broader industry.
In 2017, AEGIC, in conjunction with other industry bodies, helped secure access to the $1 billion EU canola market by proving Australian canola meets strict European emission requirements. AEGIC is also building knowledge and analysis of pulses and plant protein opportunities.
AEGIC’s ongoing program of virtual crop inspection videos and technical webinars maintained vital connections with customers during COVID.


A new six-day garden festival will take root in the royal grounds of Highgrove, Britain’s most famous private royal organic gardens.
Top TV gardeners and leading nurseries are all promised for the first Highgrove: The Garden Celebrated, to be held on 11-16 April 2016.
Highgrove, in Gloucestershire, is the private residence of the Prince of Wales – an organic champion, and the Duchess of Cornwall.
Speakers include ITV Love Your Garden presenter Alan Titchmarsh, BBC Gardeners’ World co-presenters Carol Klein and Rachel de Thame, The Beechgrove Garden star Chris Beardshaw and Gardeners’ Question Time panellist Bob Flowerdew, the AG columnist.
Herb expert Jekka McVicar and TV landscaper David Domoney will share their expertise, too.
Organisers say the festival will “bear testimony to the Prince of Wales’ ethos on organic and sustainable gardening with a number of highly applauded guest speakers, presenting on everything from wildlife to organic food-growing and plant care.”
However, organisers told AG that despite the event’s green ethos, they could not guarantee that plants for sale by exhibitors would be grown without the use of chemicals or peat.
Highgrove Enterprises chief executive Chris Prescott promised “exclusive talks and guided tours throughout the week”.
Chris said: “The festival will capture the essence of Highgrove and will be a unique insight into the ethos and sustainable approach behind the gardens, as well as a reflection of the horticultural interests and enthusiasms of HRH The Prince of Wales.”
Ticket prices vary from £17.50 to £95, as options are available for exclusive talks and
garden tours, as well as afternoon tea, lunch and supper packages. Visit www.highgroveshop.com/festival for details or to book tickets.


The management of the Busia Sugar Industry (BSI) has denied claims that it has been smuggling sugarcane into the country from Uganda.
In a statement to the media, Public Relations Officer Stephen Siachire said the firm crushes raw material sourced from its locally contracted farmers.
He said some of the farmers had their land located on the border between Kenya and Uganda.
“The allegation by some individuals that we are smuggling sugarcane could have resulted from the sight of our tractors and other private trucks contracted by BSI to ferry cane from border areas on the Kenyan side,” stated the firm.
The company was responding to concerns raised by representatives of farmers in the region at a news conference last weekend.
The National General Secretary of the Kenya Association of Sugarcane and Allied Product Peter Odima and Busia Outgrowers Company director Lambert Ogochi, had accused the sugar factory of engaging in illegal importation of raw materials from across the border.
Mr Odima claimed the smuggled cane mainly passed through the porous border at Alupe and Buteba in Teso South Constituency. He called for investigations.

Brownback requests disaster declarations for additional Kansas counties
By the Salina Journal | Friday, July 20, 2012 4:27 PM
Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback this week sent a letter to U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack requesting a disaster declarations for 37 additional Kansas counties because of drought, extreme heat, high winds and wildfires.
The request includes the following counties in north-central and northwest Kansas: Clay, Cloud, Dickinson, Ellis, Ellsworth, Jewell, Lincoln, Marion, Mitchell, Osborne, Ottawa, Republic, Russell, Saline and Smith.
If all of the counties in the current request are approved, 103 of Kansas’ 105 counties will be considered primary federal disaster areas. Because they border primary counties, Marshall and Washington counties will receive disaster declarations as contiguous counties.
A disaster declaration will make farmers eligible for USDA disaster assistance programs.
Sixty-six primary counties and 16 contiguous counties were declared federal disaster areas in a July 12 fast-track designation.

Shares of CF Industries Holdings (CF -1.58%) jumped more than 7% on Thursday after the fertilizer manufacturer reported quarterly results that came in above expectations. Investors had been worried about the impact of flooding in the Midwest and trade wars that have eaten into agricultural products demand from China, but so far CF is performing well despite the difficulties.
Late Wednesday, CF said it earned $1.28 per share on revenue of $1.5 billion in the quarter, easily surpassing analyst expectations for $0.84 per share in earnings on $1.4 billion in sales. CF CEO Tony Will in a statement admitted it was "a challenging spring season," marred by record flooding in the U.S. Midwest that devastated farms across America's Corn Belt.
Will said CF outperformed due to a shift in production mix toward higher-margin products, as well as leveraging the company's massive transportation network to work around the impact of flooding and get product to customers who needed it.
CF's overall earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) grew by 26% in the first half of 2019 compared to a year prior, to $973 million, on year-to-date sales of $2.5 billion, up 10% year over year.
Wills said he expects that strong demand in North America, coupled with "our position on the low end of the global cost curve," will drive cash generation in the second half of the year. Raw material costs could be a tailwind as well, with the company expecting the cost of natural gas for 2019 to be down more than 5% from 2018.
Shares of CF Industries have trailed the S&P 500 this year because of concerns about the health of the agriculture sector and issues, like flooding, that were beyond the company's control. The bull case from here would be for farmers to aggressively buy fertilizer to try to make up for a bad start to 2019. The bear case is built around the continued threat of trade wars and other factors that could eat into ag product demand, and in turn reduce farmers' ability to buy fertilizers and other goods.
If nothing else, the first half of the year for CF Industries was not as bad as investors feared it could have been. That's enough to justify a relief rally on Thursday.

We are a non farming couple who are offering a farm in Monkton, Addison County, Vermont. It is located halfway between Middlebury and Burlington and on the outer edge of the Champlain Valley. There are plenty of markets close by and the climate is on the milder side for Vermont.
Soil is bottom land, fertile clay and loam with a high organic content and it slopes slightly to the west. There are very few stones and rocks. The land was a dairy farm and now is used to cultivate vegetables as well as hay and pasture for animals.
A recently dredged pond provides irrigation water and spring fed potable water is also available. Electricity is available for farm structures.
Land is currently under lease until December 2023 and will be available after that.


Nutrition Technologies successful combination of local Malaysian workforce with the company's technology launched its flagship factory in Johor.
Online PR News – 24-September-2018 – SENAI, 19 September 2018 – Pioneering British biotech company Nutrition Technologies launched its flagship factory in Johor today. The successful combination of local knowledge and expertise from the Malaysian workforce combined with the company's capital and technology is set to position Malaysia at the centre of alternative protein production for animal feed in Asia.
The flagship factory which marks Britain's latest investment into Malaysia, was officially opened by the Iskandar Regional Development Authority Director of Economics & Investment, Mr Engku Ahmad Kamel and British High Commissioner to Malaysia, H.E. Vicki Treadell CMG MVO today.
Focused on finding new sources of high-grade proteins for animal feed, Nutrition Technologies produces proteins and oils from black soldier fly larvae, which have comparable amino acid and fatty acid profiles to fishmeal, the traditional source of animal feed protein, which is now in short supply due to global overfishing. The company vision is to be the largest producer and supplier of alternative proteins in the world and put a stop to the growing protein deficit.
Nick Piggott, Nutrition Technologies' CEO explained the pivotal role the company plays to help bolster global food security, saying:
"With global food production needing to increase by 60% in 2050 to feed an extra 3 billion people, we really need to start focusing on new ways to increase livestock production. At Nutrition Technologies we use insects to recycle nutrients from food waste, to create a new sustainable source of proteins and oils to efficiently feed chickens and fish."
At the opening ceremony, Treadell spoke of her delight as yet another UK company choose to invest in Malaysia, saying:
"Nutrition Technologies' presence represents exactly what the UK envisions from a 'Global Britain' partnership with 'New Malaysia'. Expanding UK investment in Malaysia contributes to a diverse economy as well as creating jobs and wealth."
With a presence in the UK, Singapore, Vietnam and now Malaysia, Nutrition Technologies are set to expand operations across South East Asia over the next 2-3 years.
With ideal climatic conditions, availability of raw materials and the skill and passion of its emerging professionals, Malaysia is the natural choice for their flagship production site. Their current site in Senai, Johor has a capacity of 40 tons of products per month. This will increase to 1000 tons per month in mid-2019 when their next factories comes online.


This spinach mustard hybrid is an excellent choice for baby leaf greens. It can also be used for micro-greens. The leaf coloring is distinct— purplish- red on the top and green with red veins underneath. The tender leaves are round and relatively flat, growing uniformly from bright green upright stems. This variety tolerates heat and will retain its lovely deep color.

The 2018 Farm Bill is nearly ready to go to President Trump’s desk for a signature. The Farm Bill includes many provisions, but one of the most interesting is the inclusion of industrial hemp.
The bill will LEGALIZE INDUSTRIAL HEMP
This is ANOTHER huge step forward for the cannabis industry in general. If passed, industrial hemp will be removed from the Controlled Substances List and will officially be a legalized agricultural commodity in the United States.
Industrial hemp can be used as a raw material for paper, clothing, or even plastic. However, I think the most significant development has been the discovery that CBD can be extracted from industrial hemp. Proponents of CBD suggest it has a number of therapeutic uses, but it will not get you “high” since hemp only has trace amounts (if any) of the psychotropic compound, THC.
In my opinion, the inclusion of industrial hemp in the 2018 Farm Bill is yet another step toward the legalization of cannabis. While hemp cannot get you high, CBD can also be extracted from hemp’s cousin, the marijuana plant. Therefore, growing usage and support of CBD products could support demand for products that contain a combination of THC and CBD in the future.
Regardless, from an investment standpoint, when industrial hemp is removed from the Controlled Substances List, a large barrier for hemp companies to go public vanishes and these companies become more viable investment opportunities since they have free access to one of the largest projected cannabis markets, the United States.

People often ask me what we will grow on the farm. Sometimes, it seems like they are expecting a short answer, like “alfalfa”, or “pumpkins”. I’m still working on my stock response, but tend to go with something more like “everything!”. Because once you start visiting nurseries and looking at catalogs, how do you not want one of everything?
I’m on a kick with corn varieties and spices currently. In the end I will probably have to narrow the corn options down so they don’t cross-pollinate into an unusable Frankenstein, but I haven’t decided yet which to put off for next year. Japonica is a Japanese variety with rainbow striped leaves and purple tassels. Our winter cornbread could be red, blue, or green. And strawberry popcorn is almost guaranteed a corner of the field so I can tempt the kids that come to the farm.
The perennial herbs are an investment for future seasons that I feel fully justify themselves. They’re not expensive as tiny plants or seeds, and I hope many will become established as a nearly self-sufficient spice cabinet and specialty market. Some I’ve never used, including sorrel, hyssop, black sesame, and valerian. Others I’ve just never had backyard access to, like turmeric and capers.
Then there are the basic vegetables that even grocery stores sell in rainbow packs, like carrots, peppers, and tomatoes. So that ends up being more like a dozen vegetables than just three. And fruit trees are being strictly limited to a couple carefully selected varieties of each so they don’t take over the property. As much as I’d love an expansive orchard, there are so many other things to grow!
Who wants to come over this summer and cook, dry, and can all the excess?!

A Glasgow-led by the SNP would do more to encourage allotments in the city. The SNP has for many years been active in promoting the activity, as a healthy life choice.
The SNP group recognise the positive effects the use of allotments can have for groups, individuals and families. This view is shared by the many primary schools and hospitals who use allotments daily across the city as part of learning or rehabilitation initiatives.
Bailie Phil Greene, who worked with locals in his ward of Springburn on an allotment site, said: “Allotments are great for local communities, bringing people together to work the land and produce wholesome food for themselves and their families. It is a great form of exercise, which can form part of the “Green Gym” scheme, and helps to bring otherwise unproductive areas of land into use.
“My late colleague, Councillor George Roberts, was a keen supporter of allotments and provided a great deal of input to the development of Glasgow’s Allotment Strategy in 2010. Members such as myself and Councillor Graeme Hendry have worked hard to get resources and facilities for our local allotments and we will carry this good work forward after May’s elections.
"I have been able to help allotments such as Balornock and Springburn to access funding streams to help in maintenance and set up, and this is something that we would like to continue; to make it easier for community groups to identify and access the funding available which will help to expand the quantity and quality of allotments across the city.
“The Council’s Allotment Strategy is due for a refresh in 2013 – should the people elect the SNP next Thursday we will build on the good work of allotmenteers across Glasgow and help our city allotments to flourish”.

It offers a concentrated light within your growing area or grow tent to help plants grow strong and more evenly as well. With 12-band full spectrum, this is a high-performance unit that may also help you achieve more rapid results and abundant harvests as well.

- Many buyers report great customer service from the company
- Can help save money on energy use and reduce the need for cooling equipment
- 3-year warranty with 30-day satisfaction guarantee for peace of mind

The morsen light is designed with a smarter reflector cup that gathers light to improve efficiency by 400%-500% versus others. It also features bigger and brighter chips that are essential for growing healthier plants quickly. Last but not least, the variety of colors is the perfect ratio for growth and includes blue, red, yellow, white, and more.
- Great customer service with a 3-year warranty/30-day money back guarantee
- One of the most affordable LED grow lights on the market with great reviews
- Setup is very simple and hangers are provided in the package
- Extremely bright lights that accelerate growth
- Some users report that the veg and bloom switches are not labeled
- Lights easily turn because they are not in a stationary position
- Can be difficult to determine the right distance to place the light
The best LED grow light under 100 can be a great investment no matter what stage of growth you’re in. With the small price tag and variety of features, you won’t regret your decision to purchase. While there are many other choices on the market, these are by far the best.


Fairfield Fire site being seededOct 25, 2013 By Eric Blom, Staff Writer
The fire consumed more than 1,300 acres last summer in the Sinks Canyon area.
A helicopter scattered grass seed Wednesday on 300 acres of the 1,335-acre burn scar left by the Fairfield Fire in Sinks Canyon. Shoshone National Forest officials had decided to sow the seed to prevent cheatgrass from spreading to the area.
Cheatgrass is an invasive species and dries earlier in the season than native plants, contributing to wildfires, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Once it matures, it provides poor forage and its spiny seeds can injure browsing animals.
"It is a grass that grows very quickly and moves very fast," said Shoshone National Forest spokeswoman Kristie Salzmann. "They're trying to get ahead of it and keep it from doing that in this instance."
A helicopter will make several passes side-by-side, each time sowing a wide row of ground with seed, she said. Winter snows will provide moisture for the new plants.
Each acre will receive a mix of seeds: 2 pounds of Idaho fescue grass, 5 pounds of bluebunch wheat grass, 11 pounds of cereal rye, .25 pounds of mountain big sage and 2 pounds of
"As we head into spring and summer, as all of the vegetation grows, these should hopefully take hold as well," Salzmann said.
The Fairfield Fire burned for about two weeks after a lightning strike set it off July 17. The blaze first raced east from Fairfield Hill, threatening the Homestead Park subdivision.
A change of the wind then pushed the fire west into heavy timber. At its height, more than 200 firefighters and 11 aircraft battled the conflagration as it filled the Lander valley with smoke. Crews had fully contained the fire by July 28.
The 25,000-acre Hardluck, 1,800-acre Burroughs and 115-acre Lost Lake fires also scorched the Shoshone National Forest this year, but the Fairfield burn scar has been the only one to receive seeding.
Salzmann said forestry officials determine treatments for areas based on what they decide will be effective and taking into account budgetary constraints.
The seeding this fall is the only treatment planned for the Fairfield Fire area.


WENATCHEE, Wash. — Rivers and streams on the east slopes of Washington’s Cascade Mountains should have adequate flow for agricultural irrigators, but several counties have been declared drought areas.
Benton and Franklin counties were designated drought disaster areas May 14 by the U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, and Walla Walla, Lincoln and Chelan were designated on May 28. The action makes low-interest loans available to farmers and ranchers from the Farm Service Agency.
Benton, Franklin, Lincoln and Walla Walla counties all have dryland areas that lack adequate moisture, but inclusion of Chelan County on the list is puzzling since it has little dryland farming, said Scott Pattee, Natural Resource Conservation Service water supply specialist for Washington.
FSA officials could not be reached for comment.
Mountain reservoirs are nearly full and remaining snowpack is melting at a normal rate of 1 to 2 inches of water per day so irrigation should be adequate even while the final forecast is below normal for several east-slope rivers, Pattee said.
Tree fruit, hay, hops and wine grapes depend on the rivers, some of which have no reservoirs.
Pattee issued his final streamflow forecast for the year predicting June through September flows. Snowpack below 5,000 feet elevation is basically gone and was poor all season, he said. High elevation snowpack climbed above normal late in the season and has been melting gradually, he said. Snowpack is 110 percent of normal at this point although it is a somewhat ambiguous number this late, he said. The April and May runoff rush has slowed somewhat, he said.
The Okanogan River at Malott, fueled by good Canadian snowpack, is forecast at 134 percent of normal flow for June through September, he said.
The Methow River at Pateros is forecast for 88 percent which should be enough for the season, Pattee said.
Other Upper Columbia tributaries and the predicted percentage of normal flow:
• Chelan, 92 percent.
• Entiat at Ardenvoir, 98 percent.
• Wenatchee at Peshastin, 115 percent.
• Icicle Creek near Leavenworth, 109 percent.
Lower Columbia tributaries and the predicted percentage of normal flow:
• Upper Yakima at Cle Elum, 85 percent.
• Teanaway near Cle Elum, 103 percent.
• Kachless, Keechelus and Cle Elum lake inflows, 86 percent
• Lower Yakima, American River near Nile, 73 percent.
• Naches at Naches, 80 percent.
• Yakima at Parker, 84 percent.
• Ahtanum at Union Gap, 65 percent.
• Klickitat near Pitt, 92 percent.
“As far as I know, it’s all good for irrigators,” Pattee said.

A cargo ship stuck at sea is finally docking at a Chinese port. The “Peak Pegasus” has been sailing near the coast for over a month trying to dodge Chinese tariffs on imported, American soybeans. The ship missed a deadline to avoid the 25-percent tariff on the imported good by just a few hours.
CGTN’s Xu Xinchen filed this report from the port in Dalian City, in northeastern China.
The Peak Pegasus cargo ship departed from the U.S. in June, loaded with 70,000 tons of U.S. soybeans. It finally arrived in the city of Dailan after circling off the Chinese coast for over a month.
The Peak Pegasus docked around midnight on Sunday, and the ship started to offload around 3 a.m local time. However, the entire offload process is expected to last six days.
The ship reached a port in Dalian on July 6th, after China imposed 25-percent tariffs on U.S. soybeans in retaliation to Trump’s first round of tariffs on $34 billion-worth of Chinese goods.
Chinese soybean purchaser Sinograin is expected to pay about six million dollars in U.S. taxes. The firm also needs to pay additional fees to keep the vessel in the water as it waits to dock.
“When our ship reached the port, there was congestion due to an increase in the number of soybean ships coming in,” said Chen Xuecong, Deputy General Manager of the Sinograin Oils Corporation. “Our ship was unable to dock. We will pay off the tariffs according to new policies.”
Chen said companies tried to stash soybean imports from countries like Brazil and Argentina, as soybeans from South American countries are now in season. The move is seen to help ease storage in the fourth quarter, a season usually dominated by U.S. soybeans.
Some 30 million tons of U.S. soybeans were expected to arrive in China this year, but Chinese buyers halted their orders after Beijing’s 25-percent additional tariff.
“There’s definitely pressure, but we are confident that we can deal with the pressure. In the past few months, we’ve seen an escalation of the trade war, started by the U.S.,” Chen explained. “To deal with that, we are actively adapting in terms of importing soybeans from regions other than the U.S.”
However, there are still logistical challenges getting soybean shipments from other countries. In the meantime, American soybean farmers have been hit hard with Chinese orders decreasing. U.S. soybean prices also plunged on Friday to more than 4.5-percent, marking the worst day since July lows.


Where is Bright, In? It's really hot for lettuces- they like springtime temps, water, after a certain temp they get long and bolt and the flavor can turn a bit 'strong', where also are you planting them? A garden? A flower box?
Your area has a lot more drought than farther north, too, apparently they tried to bolt from the start- hence the length and legginess, and also from lack of moisture there, try again in Sept? I think? When onions and cold weather stuff are getting ready or, until Feb/March when winter is gone

•A vessel carrying 30,000 tonnes of Ukrainian wheat arrived at the port of Mombasa, Kenya
•Grain from Ukraine humanitarian programme delivered over 140,000 tons of Ukrainian wheat to African nations thus far.
The price of rice and wheat flour could come down in the coming weeks following the arrival of 30,000 tonnes of Ukrainian wheat at the port of Mombasa.
The consignment is part of Volodymyr Zelenskyy's ‘Grain from Ukraine’ (GfU) humanitarian programme.
This is the first of five ships carrying grains expected at the port.
The imports come as a relief to Kenyans faced with high grain prices with inflation edging up in in February for the first time in four months on renewed pressure on food and cooking gas prices.
Food usually has the biggest impact on the overall movement in cost of living because it accounts for nearly a third of the shopping basket for Kenyan families.
The Head of the Ukrainian Presidential Office and Chairman of the International Coordination Group for the Prevention of Hunger (ICGPH) Andriy Yermak said that the shipment will ease famine witnessed in various parts of the country.
“Today’s shipment to Kenya cements our ongoing commitment to tackle forced famine across Africa’s most vulnerable nations,” said Yermak
Ukraine has always been one of the main suppliers of wheat to the region, before the Russian invasion. Africa imported more than $1.4 billion in wheat from Ukraine.
UN World Food Programme, estimates that the 30,000 tons of grain delivered from Ukraine initiative will provide bread for about 2 million people for 1.5 months.
Global factors, such as ongoing climate change in Africa, the escalating conflict in Ukraine, inflation around the world and a surge in global food prices has exposed Several countries across Africa, including Kenya, Nigeria, Ethiopia and Somalia, to the worst food crisis seen in 40 years.
This shipment was supported by the UN World Food Program (WFP) with financial assistance from the governments of the United Kingdom, Norway, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia and the Czech Republic.
According to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, over 5.4 million people in Kenya will likely experience acute food insecurity in March and June this year. About 970,200 children will likely suffer from acute malnutrition in 2023.
The #GrainFromUkrain (GfU) programme was launched by President Zelenskyy in November 2022, to provide much-needed assistance to nations affected by the ongoing global food crisis.
Since the beginning of its launch, the programme has delivered over 140,000 tons of Ukrainian wheat to Africa’s struggling nations.

This Mother’s Day give mom a gift that she can enjoy all summer long. We have all kinds of great flowers in the greenhouse, but none are prettier than our hanging Begonia Baskets!
As a rule, Begonias need some sunlight, but they don't do well if that sunlight is harsh and direct. Instead, place them in filtered light, such as beneath high, thin tree canopies or on a porch. However, some begonia varieties might tolerate more sun than others. If the soil is dry when you put your index finger 1-2 inches until your top knuckle into the soil and it feels dry, then you need to water your Begonia. Feeding Once a week apply half strength (1/2 T Miracle Grow or other soluble plant food per gallon) fertilizer solution in place of regular watering, being sure to give the basket enough so that liquid seeps from the bottom of the pot. Tuberous begonias are not heavy feeders, so don't overdo it.

Commercial Seasonal Color Programs
Our seasonal color program begins with a custom design tailored to each customer’s personal preferences, functional needs, and price considerations.
Bed preparation is the most critical part of our seasonal color program. Our bed preparation procedures include the removal of last seasons’ plants and bark, bedline trenching, deep tilling, proper grading, and the addition of high quality fertilizers. If necessary, fungicides and moisture retention products are also added at this time. The plant material used is carefully selected from reputable growers and installed according to the prearranged design and spacing. All beds are covered with mini nuggets or pine straw to provide moisture retention and to enhance aesthetics. The final stage of the installation is watering and clean-up.
As with any type of installation, it is critical to follow up with good, sound, horticultural maintenance practices to guarantee a long, healthy life for your seasonal color display. Lawn Management Services’ Seasonal Color Maintenance Program includes several visits through the course of the growing season. Our highly-trained landscape design team will perform the pruning, removal of expired flowers, bark touch-up, and supplemental fertilizer and fungicide applications necessary to keep your color displays healthy and dazzling for the duration of the season. We also closely monitor your irrigation system to ensure that the plants are provided the correct amount of water and adhere to any water restrictions. Our Seasonal Color Programs provide:
