The Israeli aggression against Lebanon in July 2006 has severely affected not only the infrastructure but also the livelihoods of rural communities especially farmers, that were already extremely vulnerable due to the absence of a governmental policy and commitment towards the agricultural sector.
Agricultural areas in South Lebanon are characterized by smallholdings compared to other regions and this is mainly due to the geographical nature of the area. Besides the regular goat herders who graze their flocks in public and religiously owned lands, milk producers are small holders who have several cows and who sell their products locally within the villages or to collectors who provide local processing facilities.
Within all this, there are some attempts by local producers to establish groupings in which they consolidate their efforts and produce a variety of traditional products and refined cheeses. These were affected too by the events of last summer.
The selected pilot area is in villages around Nabatieh, South of Lebanon namely: Kfar Rumman, Mayfadoun, Braykeh, Tayr Filsay, Houmeen Tahta, Kfour and Sarba.
Aims & Objectives
The project aims at strengthening a group of local farmers and producers who are involved in the small scale goat production; and supporting their income diversity through providing additional high producing small ruminants, some complementary processing equipment and marketing support activities.
The specific objectives of the project for the pilot rural cluster are to:
- provide the target farmers with a limited number of high producing Shami goats,
- Strengthen the production capacity of a traditional milk processing unit and hence, increase the income from the milk in its processed form,
- Provide training for the target farmers on advanced animal nutrition and management to reduce their production costs,
- Act as a driver for multiplication of these activities in the post-war devastated South Lebanon,
- Enhancing the market supply with high value traditional dairy products, and
- Strengthen the recently established cooperative to be able to serve its farmers and expand to include others
- In cooperation with local and regional institutions, about 50 1-year old Shami Goats will be distributed among the farmers equally. Upon delivery, the farmers, who already have a experience in animal husbandry, will be subject to training on recent management and nutrition practices that would optimize the productivity of the goats.
- In parallel, Milk processing equipment will be provided to an existing semi professional processing unit owned by one of the farmers within the group.
- A small car will be provided with insulation and cooling for use as a milk collection vehicle.
- Promotional material will be produced and contacts will be established with a small shop in Beirut to market the processed product.


"WILD GROWTH", ANA KUZMANIĆ'S RESEARCH AND ONLINE EXHIBITION
ANA KUZMANIĆ: WILD GROWTH
28 DECEMBER 2021
Ana Kuzmanić's research uncovers the world of plants passing completely "under our radar", growing in places that we would rarely associate with green areas: on halted construction sites, in between buildings, along railways and roads, sometimes literally sprouting from the asphalt. Ana's herbarium of Trešnjevka reveals the other side of botany and points to the fact that it is a system that, like any science, is a product of society, a construct that seeks to "bring order" to nature. The majority of the plants she found are considered weeds, and some of them are invasive (and therefore undesirable) species. Still, weeds can be food and medicine, and an invasive species can also be a plant resistant to climate change, adapted to the future in which we will appreciate every green leaf. As the first step in sharing her research with the public, Ana Kuzmanić combined the herbarium of Trešnjevka plants with the artifacts from Trešnjevka's history.
Collages, coupled with short texts about the plants, evoke various associations regarding the rootedness of Trešnjevka plants in the physical and social tissue of the neighborhood. It is also striking that the picked (out) plants originate, just like the population of Trešnjevka then and now, from many different places. Botany introduces the categories of "foreign" and "naturally occurring", "allochthonous" and "autochthonous" species, but the plants themselves do not have passports and know no boundaries. The spread of their seed is beyond human control, although it makes abundant use of human action: with the army, workers or refugees, in trucks, in cargo bags, the seed is a common stowaway. The locations where the plants used here were found, the stretch along the railway towards Magazinska Street, and the area of the former silk factory, one of the oldest industries in the neighborhood, as well as several neighboring plots towards the football stadium, directly connote migrations.
The herbarium of Trešnjevka's wild plants is a material from which issues, related to social relations, production modes, urban planning, sustainable development, folk healing practices and folk beliefs as well as other topics set in between nature and society, rhizomatically spread. In a series of collages entitled “Wild Growth”, which completes the first part of her research, Ana Kuzmanić redirects plants, compressed and dried, from further botanical processing and returns them to Trešnjevka, placing them within fragments of neighborhood memories and enabling them to live a new life and further grow towards the final phase of the project in 2022.

"WILD GROWTH" IS A PART OF THE "TREŠNJEVKA NEIGHBORHOOD MUSEUM - LIVING HERITAGE" PROJECT. IT IS HELD WITH THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF THE CITY OF ZAGREB AND THE MINISTRY OF CULTURE AND MEDIA OF THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA. THE ANNUAL PROGRAM OF BAZA IS SUPPORTED BY THE "KULTURA NOVA" FOUNDATION.


We have wine.
The valuation of the quality of each crop year (in figures from 1 to 10) reflects a general trend that applies to the entire region. The higher the figure, the higher the storage potential. Wines of a vintage vary quite a bit, depending on the grape varieties and the spacial characteristics of the plots planted with vines. Of the earlier great years deserve mention: 1985, 1982, 1978, 1975, 1970, 1961, 1959, 1955, 1953, 1947 and 1945. Vintages 2014 – 1987:

“Agriculture is the backbone of the Indian Economy” – Mahatma Gandhi.
In India, 60 % of the population is engaged in agriculture and contributes to the growth of GDP by 15% of the country. The three Farm bills passed on 14th September 2020 is based on “One India, One Agriculture Market”. As per the Central Government, this bill regulates and promotes the freedom of sale and purchase for farmers all over India.
Seems attractive, isn’t it? Then what is the ground for the protest? The lack of judicial support for farmers and the non-debated implementation of the bills are the key players of the protest. Our farmers are worried about the fear of losing the ownership of their land and MSP for their yield.
The failure in the corporate farming concept in a state like Bihar is alarming. In 2006 when the Bihar government canceled the APMC Act (Agricultural Produce Market Committee – 2003), the economists were optimistic saying that Bihar would become a forerunner of a new market-based revolt in agriculture. But that is not what happened.
A study conducted by the National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER) in 2019 on ‘The experience of Bihar after the abolition of the APMC Act in 2006’, warned: “It is easier to dismantle institutions than to build them. The consequences could be very serious for the farm sector and the farming community.”
The logic dictates for the government is to accept the suggestion by the Supreme Court to hold the farm bill and constitute an impartial and independent committee to end the deadlock. In people’s opinion, the Government’s using iron hands to pass its law instead of educating and helping farmers to understand and be open to their concerns.
Let’s hope that the history don’t repeat.


Five joyful moments from the past week.
1, Spending a sunny lunch break with some soothing rows of garter stitch
2. These orchids, which have been in bloom since February. I think they’re making up for the last two flowerless years…
3. Hawthorne blossom brightening up a chilly spring walk
4. This giant leaf on my new fiddle leaf fig, which started out as a tiny cute bud only a couple of weeks ago. I’ve spent the last two weeks in awe of how quickly this thing grows!
5. An overdue spot of indoor gardening.
I repotted a poor, neglected pilea plant, tidied all the crispy leaves from my tradescantia (it no longer rustles when I take it down to water – hurrah!) and took some cuttings to send to a friend.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend. We’re planning on revisiting a huge patch of wild garlic that we discovered last Sunday. I think sourdough and wild garlic pesto are going to feature pretty heavily in the next few days!


Project No.: 2015-31
Location: Twin Bridges, MT
- Revamp plant beds
- Replant for better growing success
- Mitigate weeds
- Maintain entire property
- New path into home to appear natural with a smooth surface
When our clients called Wagner and Company to assess the many problems on this property, they were overwhelmed and could not find anyone to maintain this property. Previously they had hired a person for the entire summer to do nothing but pull weeds and they could not keep up with the extreme amount of maintenance. Upon an extensive evaluation a recommendation was made to reduce maintenance and watering. The extensive plant beds consisted of a fine bark mulch with a weed barrier underneath it. With a large amount of labor, all of the weed barrier was removed. After the first year of original construction the weeds had attached to the barrier, disallowing the weed roots to be removed.
Drip irrigation was re-organized and directed to each plant for the appropriate amount of water. Many of the shrubs had been planted in places that forced the plants to struggle. Mostly due to sunlight and soil conditions. Wagner and Company transplanted many plants to new areas to place them in an environment that allows the plants to thrive.
The lawn also posed many problems. Poor drainage, improper grading, lack of soil amendment, and poor irrigation design was what they were up against. At the owner’s request, Wagner and Company started retro- fitting the system with appropriate nozzles. Ninety percent of the watering system was improved to a noticeable difference and satisfactory results. Over the next year, the lawn will be top dressed with a high grade compost to further reduce watering and improve soil retention.
The front walk also had construction issues. Its uneven surface rendered the surface unusable by most guests. The old stone walk was removed and a new surface of pavers resembling stone took place of the old walk. It is now the primary walkway to the home.
Wagner and Company’s commitment to the new clients included a plan to maintain the property one day a week to achieve a beautiful, manicured yard.

This study used NDVI, ET, and LST satellite images collected by moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer and tropical rainfall measuring mission sensors to investigate seasonal and yearly vegetation dynamics, and also the influence of climatological factors on it, in the area of the Caspian Sea Watersheds for 2001-2019. The relationships have been assessed using regression analysis and by calculating the anomalies. The results showed that in the winter there is a positive significant correlation between NDVI and ET, and also LST (R = 0.46 and 0.55, p-value = 0.05, respectively). In this season, the impact of precipitation on vegetation coverage should not be significant when LST is low, as was observed in the analysed case. In spring, the correlation between NDVI and ET and precipitation is positive and significant (R = 0.86 and 0.55, p-value = 0.05). In this season, the main factor controlling vegetation dynamics is precipitation, and LST’s impact on vegetation coverage may be omitted when precipitation is much higher than usual. In the summer, the correlation between NDVI and ET is positive and significant (R = ۰٫۷۰, p-value = 0.05), while the correlation between NDVI and LST is negative and significant (R = –۰٫۴۵, p-value = 0.05). In this season, the main factor that controls vegetation coverage is LST. In the summer season, when precipitation is much higher than average, the impact of LST on vegetation growth is more pronounced. Also, higher than usual precipitation in the autumn is the reason for extended vegetation coverage in this season, which is mainly due to increased soil moisture.

Corn farming practices in modern methods:
Nutrients are higher than rice and wheat. It contains about 11% protein content. There is more amino acid, triptophan and lysine in the diet. Besides, there are about 90 milligrams of carotene or vitamin A in every 100 grams of yellow colored corn.
The corn grains are used as food for human and as well as good food crops like corn trees and green leaves. It has considerable importance as poultry and fish. To meet the demand of livestock, poultry and fish, only about 200,000 tons of corn grains are required every year. In Bangladesh, corn cultivation is increasing rapidly.
Suitable land and soil
Sandy Doas and Doas are suitable for soil cultivation. Keep in mind that the land does not get accumulated.
Identity of the species
By collecting and sorting maize varieties, BARI has invented several advanced varieties till date, to meet the growing demand of Bangladesh, the possibility of multipurpose corn cultivation is very bright.
The height of the spectrum is higher than the local varieties. It is quite large in size and the thick direction is slightly thick. Mockery until the nozzle remains tightly covered. Spectral granule is very large in golden yellow color and grain size.

Saturday June 18 2022 -- Please join the GCC Board and GCC Chair Bob Haywood-Farmer and his family on their grasslands near Savona, BC. Registration now open through Eventbrite.
The Grasslands Conservation Council of BC has a new way to pay
Now you can pay your ($35 annual) membership, or make a donation by sending an e-transfer to firstname.lastname@example.org
For good or ill, humans have the power to support or degrade the vital natural functions that grasslands provide. Sound stewardship and good land management can help. Ignorant policies and practices can destroy. People play a crucial role in protecting the often invisible richness of grassland landscapes.
Commonsense solutions for BC grasslands
Our unique brand of hands-on, all-welcome conservation builds networks that strengthen grassland ecosystems.
Many thanks to the BC Interior Foundation for a grant which assisted in further distribution of the 2020 Grasslands magazine.
The GCC is dedicated to doing this—to uncovering the complexity and abundance of grasslands, sharing that information, and supporting policies and practices that protect it—for the benefit of all of us.
We invite you to the GCC table. Come to learn, to share, to participate in the future of BC grasslands.
Help GCC Communicate BC Grasslands’
Grasslands are vital yet vulnerable
BC GRASSLANDS ARE ESSENTIAL
It’s easy to appreciate the stunning beauty of BC’s open spaces. Would you prize them even more if you understood what rare natural treasures grasslands truly are?
In addition to their intrinsic value as part of the natural world, grasslands provide a wealth of benefits to us and to our communities. They perform key functions that support our lives and livelihoods in a whole range of ways that are not always obvious.
BC GRASSLANDS ARE THREATENED
Native grasslands cover less than 1% of BC’s land base. Even so, they are home to more than 30% of its species at risk. Grasslands support more threatened and endangered plants and animals than any other habitat type in the province.
Over time, grasslands have been developed and used without due consideration of the impact on these sensitive ecosystems. Misuse and mismanagement of the landscape have damaging effects.
GCC IS MAKING HEADWAY
The long-term sustainability of BC’s grasslands is threatened by poorly planned and thoughtless human activities. However, we do have information to help us make decisions in favour of healthy grasslands and healthy communities.
By working together to protect special areas, practicing active management, and engaging in wise stewardship, we can strengthen and renew our grassland ecosystems.
BC grasslands provide water filtration
The complex underground root systems of healthy grasslands are natural filters that help keep soil erosion and road runoff from reaching our clean water sources. And they build some of the richest soil around. Their role is irreplaceable.
BC grasslands provide critical habitat
Intact grasslands are needed for the survival of plants and animals found nowhere else in the province. Imagine: 1% of the land provides key habitat for over 30% of BC’s threatened and endangered species!
BC grasslands support our economy and our way of life
Grasslands also bridge natural and cultural heritage. They are the lifeblood of BC family farms and ranches, of people who have protected and managed the land for generations.
BC grasslands provide opportunities for recreation and connection with nature
Grasslands offer us vast open spaces for hiking, birding, mountain biking, and cross-country skiing. These landscapes reflect a sense of freedom unlike anywhere else and allow us to connect with nature in ways that inspire us and contribute to our lives.

Caring for roses is easy — as long as you know what you’re doing.
By: Amanda Formaro
Roses can be described in many ways: beautiful, romantic, gorgeous and stunning. They are full of vibrant color and seem to have a certain stature among flowers that's almost regal. It's a common misconception that roses are temperamental and difficult to care for, but nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, caring for roses is actually quite easy provided you select the proper variety for your region and plant them correctly.
Things You Will Need:
- An area that receives five to six hours of sun, beginning in the morning
- Soil with good drainage
- Good compost or manure and peat moss
- Gardening fork and shovel
- Plant food, mulch and water
Where To Plant
As is often said about realty, the most important criterion of thriving in a place is location, location, location. Selecting an area that receives morning sun is important. This early light from the sun will dry any dew that's on the foliage, preventing fungal diseases.
Roses don't like crowds, so be sure to keep them away from trees and shrubs, as they will compete for nutrients and light. The area needs good air movement in order to dry rain quickly; however, areas that are windy are not recommended. If your area is too open, consider finding a spot near your house or other structure that can help block the wind.
If your soil doesn't drain well you'll want to consider creating a raised bed. It should be approximately 18 to 24 inches high. Keep roses away from gutters and eves, which can drop excess water during a rain, or drop falling snow on your plants in early spring and late fall.
Bare Root or Container
There are two types of rose plants you can buy: bare root and container roses. Either will flower into beautiful roses if planted properly.
Bare Root roses look dead. They are just a plant trunk and the roots without leaves or buds. Don’t fear, though — they are very much alive, just dormant. These roses should ideally be planted in late winter.
Container roses come in a disposable pot and already have leaves and sometimes buds or even open flowers. These should be planted in early spring. Water your container roses thoroughly the day before planting.
Planting Your Roses
Work your soil about 1 foot deep by loosening it up with a gardening fork. Be sure to add plenty of compost manure or other organic matter. If you are concerned about drainage, add wood chips to the soil as well.
- Roses should be planted 2 to 3 feet apart. Dig the hole 2 feet deep and 2 feet wide.
- Check the roots of your rose plant. If they form a solid, circling mass, gently loosen or cut them.
- Place your new rose in the hole, making sure the bud union is at or slightly above the soil surface in mild-winter areas, or up to several inches below the soil in cold-winter areas.
- Gingerly add soil back to the hole, gently patting down the soil around the top of the plant.
- Add a good quality plant food, cover with mulch then water generously.
- Water your newly planted roses every few days, more often if the weather is very hot.
Roses will provide you with blooms all summer long, and come in a large variety of colors and species. Check with your local garden center for the proper varieties to grow in your planting zone.

As part of efforts to prevent the harvesting and exporting of immature fruits which has harmed the country’s export market, Kenyan government has stopped the export of avocados from Friday.
According to Business Africa, the Horticultural Crops Directorate (HCD) in a notice on Tuesday suspended the export of Hass, Pinkerton, Fuerte, and Jumbo avocado varieties by sea starting November 3, 2023.
The directorate has, however, cleared air shipment of avocados, including those in transit from other East African Community (EAC) countries. The directorate says the decision follows a survey it undertook to authenticate the maturity indices of the avocado fruits in the major production zones. “Following the findings of the survey, we hereby notify the Kenyan avocado stakeholders that the closing of Hass, Pinkerton, Fuerte, and Jumbo harvesting season and export by sea for the 2023/2024 fiscal year shall be in force with effect from November 3, 2023,” said HCD acting Director-General Willis Audi.
He added: “Export clearance (including fruit consignments from the EAC region) shall be granted for air shipment, subject to inspection by the Directorate. Traceability information will be required for all consignments.” Temporary export bans are one of the main avenues Kenya uses to deter premature harvesting of avocados which leads to the export of low-quality fruit.
This comes at a time when demand for avocados has risen significantly in recent years, leading to better prices for the fruit. In the half year to June 2023 for instance, Kakuzi, an agro firm listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE), more than doubled its profits from avocado during the period to Sh654.8 million up from Sh288.6 million in 2022 with exports to Europe and China peaking.


I have gotten several comments on my previous videos describing the confusion that is LED ACTUAL POWER. How many watts do LED grow lights use? Well you would think the answer is simple but it can actually be quite complicated and MISLEADING! I have always found it weird that led grow lights display the wattage that light is supposed to replace and not the true power consumed by the light but i believe that will change one day. Instead of just looking at the wattage of your led grow light make sure that you pay close attention to the PAR value and the wavelengths of light produced as well.

The best forestry spades for planting
There are clear best forestry spades for planting any kind of tree. They are not your regular garden spade, they head of the spade is much smaller and curved to cut the ground much more easily. The same spades are used throughout the year and on all different kinds of terrain. The only time these bad boys won’t work is in extreme cold temperatures. The best forestry spades for planting look like this.
The planting spade above is a bit grotty from planting in wet conditions. The mud gets clingy buy you just give it a good whack off the ground or an old tree stump and it should fall off.
The below is a regular garden spade, and below that is a forestry planting spade. You can see there are some major differences.
The typical garden spade is squared (well, rectangle) and is fairly wide. A good forestry planting spade is small in width and narrows off to a rounded end. This makes it much easier to slit through the grass. The size of this spade is not an issue, because the forestry trees you will be planting are small. They will usually come in cells, grown in puts basically and restricted to a root size of about 3cm by 3cm. This is a rough guess, I have never measured them.
As you can see from the above image, there are more than just one type of forestry planting spade head. The idea behind them both is the same. They are small enough to cut a slit in the ground, you then push the spade back and forth to make a wider hole and slide the roots in. The spades are the perfect size to be able to plant with speed using this system.
In the UK we think the best forestry spades for planting are the same height as a regular spade. This is because we quickly put the tree in by hand and stand back up and seal the plant with a kick or a stamp. In Canada they use short spades to plant.
Below is just for comparison, you can see the size difference between the three spades I’ve used in the examples above. The planting spades are much smaller, easier to carry around and slice the ground really well.


We source our fruit exclusively from the Texas High Plains AVA in west Texas, south of Texas’s panhandle region. Grapes and wine have been produced in the region since the mid-1970s. Our Sagmor vineyard is located in Lubbock County. We partner with the farmers and source the remainder of our fruit from Lost Draw, Timmons Ranch, and Castaño Prado Vineyards, all located in Terry County southwest of Lubbock County.
The AVA’s eastern border lines the 3,000 ft elevation contour along the Caprock Escarpment, creating a steep transitional zone separating the High Plains from the lower plains to the east. Elevation within the AVA ranges from 2,800 to 4,100 feet above sea level, and experiences a continental climate. Soils are predominantly sandy clay loam, though there are over 21 soil associations throughout the entire AVA. Rainfall averages only 18 inchers per year, so most vineyards are irrigated. The growing season is mostly hot, dry summer days and cooler evenings that help retain acidity levels in the grapes.


A mixed use plantation with coffee, durian, bananas and other fruit trees, about 3 kilometers northeast of the village of Sanda, on the slope of Mount Batukaru. The land is about 750 meters above sea level and enjoys a nice cool and fresh air climate. It offers great views over a river valley, other plantations and rice fields on the other side of the valley, as well as Mount Batukaru. The land lies along a traditional dead-end plantation road. The upper part of the land is fairly flat and easy to develop for a secluded home, a farm or small resort. The land then slopes down via several terraces to a small river, which forms the border of the lower land.
The land is very fertile and it is easy to grow all sorts of fruit trees as well as vegetables.
The land has direct car access and has access to spring water. The PLN electricity network is not yet connected, but this is expected to happen in the near future.
- Direct car access.
- Great views over a river valley, plantations and rice fields.
- A small plantation shack.
- PLN electricity network is not yet connected, but this is expected to be possible in the near future.


Since 1996, we have been growing plants for customers throughout New England, both gardener and garden center alike. Located in the Merrimack River valley 11 miles north of New Hampshire's capital of Concord, the town of Canterbury has a rich tradition of agricultural activity, of which we are proud to be a part.
We sell through a few select garden outlets and at various plant sale days and markets. This season, we will be open at the nursery for retail sales. While not on a regular schedule, we will be open on select days throughout the growing season, more like an "open house" as we finish off new crops every several weeks from April to September. Check our "Open Greenhouse" page for a list of dates and times! In the future, we hope to offer online sales (for customer pickup) as we develop our online catalog.
In addition to growing plants, we offer fine gardening services, from consulting and design through installation and maintenance. When not digging in the dirt, I am available for a number of home services, from renovation to erasing "ToDo" lists. For more information any of these services, click on...

Paraquat: How Long Did These Corporations Knowingly Peddle the Poison?
It has been described as the deadliest weedkiller on the planet. It also has been described as the most prevalent weedkiller on the planet. And now it is being described as the hot topic of a series of lawsuits filed against two companies that Calvin Warriner of Searcy Denney and Mark DiCello, of DiCello Levitt Gutzler – two of three leading tort firms involved in the litigation – said “have long known they were peddling this poison” and “should be held accountable through the American justice system.”
The companies manufacture and market paraquat, a liquid chemical used on farms and ranches to clear fields for fresh crops. But as Sustainability Times states in a recent news article, a single sip of the substance can be fatal as there is no antidote.
“No one knows the total number of people who have died from swallowing this chemical since the British company Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) first put Gramoxone on the market in 1962,” according to the article. “But according to one leading global authority on pesticide poisoning, University of Edinburgh professor of clinical toxicology Michael Eddleston, the figure must be at least in the tens of thousands.”
Syngenta, which since has taken over ICI, exports massive amounts of paraquat around the world even though over 50 countries have banned the substance from being applied to their soil. Still, the company stands by its product.
“Paraquat is a herbicide that is widely used by farmers to save arduous labor, protect against invasive weeds and produce agronomically important crops like soy, corn and cotton,” it said in a media statement. “Paraquat helps reduce soil erosion, and protect soil health and the effects of climate change. Paraquat is important for conservation agriculture by enabling reduced- and no-tillage farming. This helps improve soil health while reducing erosion and fuel use, which contributes to improved air and water quality, and wildlife habitat. Paraquat provides cost-effective protection against crop yield losses in many agronomically important regions where corn, cotton, and soybeans are grown, among other crops. It dries rapidly which enables growers to control the harvest timing, especially important when adverse weather is forecasted or to salvage a field that was impacted by poor weed control.”
Such a corporate, tone-deaf response to the climbing death toll of its main moneymaker is the crux of the complaint involving not only DiCello but also attorneys Lawrence Cohan and Jeffrey Goodman, of Saltz Mongeluzzi & Bendesky, and Cal Warriner, of Searcy Denney Scarola Barnhart & Shipley. Adding insult to injury, both companies deny the link between paraquat and Parkinson’s disease.
“The American Journal of Epidemiology, JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) Neurology, and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences are just a few of the sources that have published research pointing to a link between paraquat and Parkinson’s disease,” The National Law Review reports. “The Unified Parkinson’s Advocacy Council submitted a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in which it noted, “Recent research links paraquat and several other herbicides to the development of Parkinson’s pathology and symptoms.” In the letter, the Unified Parkinson’s Advocacy Council urged the EPA to ban the use of the herbicide in the U.S., which, as of April 2021, the agency has not done.”
Two other issues surround the paraquat controversy. The first concerns findings that the defendants hid their knowledge of the product’s dangers and manipulated data to keep it on the market. The second concerns the fact that paraquat has been used as a suicide device. Regarding the first issue, here is what a former ICI scientist – who now has gone public with evidence against his old employer – said about the cover-up:
“I know it took a long time to get the message through,” Jon Heylings told Public Eye. “I tried my best in the early 1990s, but I’m trying again now to convince Syngenta that they were wrong with the emetic concentration. And that’s what’s keeping me going.”
Heylings is referring to the level of an added agent that induces vomiting if paraquat is ingested. He believes the company should increase the amount of the emetic 10-fold and is hiding behind false numbers. Regarding the second issue, here is what former ICI toxicologist Michael Rose reportedly wrote about the suicide problem:
“Paraquat poisoning is causing the Company considerable concern, particularly since the Environmental Protection Agency in the USA is currently questioning the safety of the product.”
Public Eye reported that Rose said paraquat registrations in the United States as well as Japan were in jeopardy at the time because of the number of suicides.
“Rose knew a ban in a major market like the US posed particular risks, because it might lead other countries to follow suit,” according to Public Eye. “If the registration in the USA and Japan were to be withdrawn, the consequences to the Company would be very serious and the remaining markets in the rest of the world would be threatened.”


The year I began dating my love, he and his mother began raising honeybees on the family farm. That first summer, a bear plundered the hives, stealing the honey and killing all the bees. The following year, my love built what we promptly dubbed "the Bee Palace" - a bear-proof hive enclosure consisting of chainlink fence, a latching door, and motion-sensor floodlights, surrounded by electric-shock wire, with enough space inside for up to four hives if we positioned them right. We got two more honeybee nucs (pronounced "nukes") and moved them into the Bee Palace, and they were content until winter, when they froze to death during a bitter cold snap. Last year, we tried again with two more, and one of his mom's friends joined in and set up a third one. Two of them died off early; the third made it *almost* to spring before another deep freeze swept through and killed them, too. My love and his mom decided that this summer would be their last try before giving up and renting out the Bee Palace to another prospective beekeeper.
Well, apparently the fourth time is the charm. The past three years, each group of bees had made enough honey to sustain themselves through the winter, but none extra, so we hadn't anticipated a honey harvest for us until each following year. We'd harvested all the honey from the dead hives every winter, but this year, the bees are absolutely flourishing, and for the very first time, we harvested FRESH HONEY IN MID-SUMMER.
And what a difference! The dead bee honey was certainly good, but this honey was light and golden, the comb was fresh and white - and there's still the rest of the summer and fall, so we may very well get a second harvest before winter (and more potential bee-freezing - let's hope our luck holds and they make it through!).
Harvesting is an involved process. There's a farm not far from us that has nearly two dozen hives and sells the honey, so they've mentored us and supplied the harvesting equipment. The hives are filled with wooden frames strung with wires, along which the bees begin to build the honeycomb. Once they fill each honeycomb cell with honey, they seal, or "cap," that cell with wax. In order to harvest the honey from the comb, the caps must be removed, which can be done either by slicing with a serrated knife, scraping with tools that look like many-tined forks (we've also used regular dinner forks), or puncturing with roller brushes covered with bristles. Then the frames are loaded into an extractor, which is manually operated with a hand-crank so the centrifugal force sucks the honey from the comb. The large metal drum of the extractor collects all the honey, which is drained out and then strained - again, by hand - to remove the debris before bottling. That's where we are in the process now - we just harvested last night. I'll show you the finished product once it's all bottled.
Every part of the comb is edible and contains nutrients - my love's mother likes to save whole chunks of the comb, with the honey still inside, and cut off pieces of it to spread on warm toast. My love takes a spoonful of the raw honey each morning to help with his allergies - by eating honey made from local bees who use the local pollen, the honey desensitizes him to it. I like the honey best when it crystalizes, and I can scoop it out of the jar and stir it into my tea.
Our garden is thriving, and when I work around the cucumber trellis, which is covered in yellow blossom, I can hear the whole thing buzzing with the dozens of bees there, feeding on the nectar. I love that sound. With the decline of the honeybee population reaching worrisome new levels, I love that in our little corner of the world, at least, the bees are happy.
Have a great weekend!


The USDA Crop Production for winter wheat and the Supply/demand update should set the tone this week. While some damage and lost acres may lower the supply, the upside action has been minimal as traders see record world stocks as a key bearish force. Both Chicago and Kansas City wheat struggled yesterday with pressure coming from a higher dollar and mostly steady crop condition report on Monday. The winter wheat crop was rated 53% good/excellent, down 1% from the previous week and above what traders were expecting after the recent cold/snow event in the Plains. The weather forecast continues to point to a wet pattern over the next two weeks and could continue to put disease pressure and quality concerns on both hard and soft red wheat. India’s wheat production was raised to a record 97.44 million tonnes from 96.6 million according to the Farm Ministry.
Mexican companies are looking to purchase 30,000 to 50,000 tonnes of Argentine wheat this week as they test alternatives to US grain supplies. Taiwan bought 96,000 tonnes of US milling wheat for June shipment, Japan is tendering for 138,000 tonnes of US, Canada or Australian wheat and Algeria issued an international tender for 50,000 tonnes of soft wheat. French officials lowered old crop ending stocks to 2.4 million tonnes from 2.6 million previous. The USDA will release the May crop production report today with the average estimate for winter wheat production at 1.308 billion bushels (range of 1.200-1.617 billion) and all wheat production at 1.858 billion bushels (range of 1.775-2.022 billion). The 2016-17 ending stocks are estimated at 1.160 billion bushels (range of 1.144-1.199 billion) and new crop ending stocks are estimated at 930 million bushels (range of 779 million-1.160 billion). For world ending stocks for the 2016/17 season, traders see wheat stocks at a record high 252.16 million tonnes from 252.26 million as the April estimate. For the new crop season, traders see a drop to 246.1 million tonnes (range of 238-257 million).
TODAY’S MARKET IDEAS: July wheat closed at the lowest level in eight sessions with weakness coming from a higher dollar. The market is damaged with the stochastics crossing over and turning down Friday. With the wet forecast and potential for disease and yield loss still an issue, the market should stabilize against the 420 level. July wheat close-in support is at 426 1/2 followed by 424 1/2. July KC wheat support is at 435 1/2 with 447 1/4 and 451 1/2 as resistance.


The Nepalese economy is largely based on agriculture, which accounts for around 35% of GDP. Alongside this, roughly 65% of the Nepalese population is a part of the agricultural industry. The Nepalese farming system is predominantly made up of small-scale farming, around half of which is dependent on natural rainfall. Rainfall and other climatic factors are critical to crop yields; only 46.5% of Nepalese agricultural land is irrigable, of which only 69.5% is actually irrigated. Recent empirical studies indicate that 70% of the performance of crop production can be explained by the climatic variability linked with temporal weather conditions.
The agriculture sector has already been affected by floods, droughts and erratic rainfall. Climate change is expected to lead to further increased dryness in drought-prone areas and to wetter conditions in wet areas. These conditions are already beginning to cause alarming signs of a sharp and sustained decline in food security in Nepal.
We have five major focus areas in Climate Change and Agriculture sector:
- Assessing the socio-economic vulnerability of rural people to climate change
- Documenting the potential impacts of climate change on natural resources
- Identifying the trends of climate change and the farmer’s perceptions of these changes
- Evaluating the impact of climate change on agricultural production
Identifying choices for adaptation measures that farmers are using to mitigate potential impacts of climate change on agriculture


What are the implications for international development assistance?
Having ring-fenced its contribution at 0.7% of Gross Domestic Product, the United Kingdom is at the forefront of overseas aid giving. Parliament’s International Development Committee works to ensure public accountability for this expenditure, and in 2011-12, it launched a request for Evidence on the Effectiveness of UK Development Aid to Zambia. I submitted the following piece in response – see link
Zambia’s staple food crop is maize, and in the run up to the elections of November 2011, its Government’s policies had caused it to produce more maize than it could hope to market, causing financial losses I estimated likely to exceed US$500 million, and discouraging farmers to allocate resources to crops with better long-term prospects. However my main point was about the collective role of Governments and international bodies supporting Zambia, as they seemed to have done little to prevent the crisis developing.


What is a grape variety?
There are grapes grown for wine production, but also grape varieties for the table. Grape varieties can be vinified alone (mono-varietal), or by mixing 2 or 3 varieties (bi- or tri-varietal).
In France, nearly 210 grape varieties are authorised and cultivated.
What is a Grand Cru?
Since 1975, Alsatian winegrowers have been upgrading and higlighting their unique terroirs. Today, 51 Alsatian terroirs are subject to the AOC ALSACE GRAND CRU Charter. Benefiting from an ideal exposure on high sloping vineyards (Vosges hillsides range from 200 to 400 meters in altitude), they are rich thanks to the composition of the soil (sandstone, marl, limestone, clay ...). This allows the grapes to ripen slowly, giving them a finesse and exceptional aromas that are unique and unequalled.
Only the most noble grape varieties, Rielsing, Muscat, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer can be grown in a proper area. The yields and the surface area og these terroirs are very strictly controlled.
The Grands Crus, which represent 5 % of Alsace's production, are wines with great ageing potentiel. They are the perfect symbol of a marriage between the terroir and grape variety.
The Grand Cru Zinnkoepflé
The Grand Cru Zinnkoepflé faces south and south-east with an altitude ranging 200 to 400 meters. It is located on the hillsides of Soultzmatt and Westhalten and covers 71 hectars. The circular layout of the valley (Vallée Noble) and the protection of the Petit Ballon make it an area of low rainfall. This area benefits from a warm and arid micro-climate on a Triassic limestone from the Muschelkalk and sandstone inclusions.
The name of the area is easily understood with "Zinn" or "Sonne" for sun and "Koepflé" or " Kopf" for head in German. The translation is "sun mountain", as the soil is very stringly exposed to the sun. The name might also come from the "Sinnele", the small fossilised gastropods which are numerous on this terroir.
Our Gewurztraminer and Riesling grow very well here. This terroir produces Gewurztraminer with a rich, spicy and full-bodied bouquet. Our Rieslings are dry with vegetal and herbaceous notes (dry grass). These wines will become wines destined for ageing and fine gastronomy.
The Grand Cru Spiegel
The Grand Cru Spiegl extends between Guebwiller and Bergholtz over 18.25 hectares and faces east. It is located to the south of the Grand Cru Pfingstberg at an altitude of 260 to 315 meters. It lies on Oligocene substrates of conglomerates (mostly sandstone pebbles) and marl. The soil has a sandy-clay texture. This terroir is perfectly suited to the production of the Riesling grape.
The Grand Cru Pfingstberg
The Grand Cru Pfingstberg, facing south-east in Orschwihr, civers 28.15 hectares exactly between the Grand Cru Zinnkoepflé to the north and the Grand Cru Spiegel to the south. Situated between 270 to 370 meters above sea level, it is made up of two cery distinct parts. The upper part of the vineyard lies on the substratum of calcerous sandstone and micaceous sandstone. This lower part of the terroir is particularly suited to the Gewurztraminer grape, which brings great richness. This Grand Cru gives wines marked by very floral aromas and a great freshness. It produces wines with great ageing potential. The soil is favourable to botrytis.
What is Vendange Tardive?
The Vendanges Tardives are wines made from grapes that have been harvested late and over-ripe. This pratice produces wines rich in residual sugar and aromatic, called "moelleux" or "loquoreux". In order to be called "Vendanges Tardives", the grapes used for this wine must be harvested by hand and the yields are very limited. These wines can aslo be affected by Botrytis, a noble rot, giving a still higher concentration of residual sugar.
Late Harvest can also be used to produce ice wines such as our "Elixir de l'An d'Après". When the harvest takes place in the middle of winter (December to January), the frozen grapes piscked will have a particular concentration of sugar.
These vendanges Tardives are not to be confused with the Grand Crus or the Sélections de Grains Nobles.
What is Sélection de Grains Nobles?
The Sélection de Grains Nobles is made from grapes affected by Botrytis, a noble rot. This fungus brings even ore sugar to the grapes. Indeed, feeding on all the water concentrated in the grape, it increases the concentration of sugar. Particular care is taken to ensure that this process does not turn into grey rot, which would spoil the fruit.

Farming is a great way to spend time with your family. It is an amazing experience that allows family members to bond. There are many benefits of farming that make it one of the best activities for families to do together. Therefore, families should consider engaging in farming more often.
Farming is a good experience that allows families to spend more time together. It provides a sense of accomplishment and teaches kids about farming basics, such as which crops grow in what season. Farming also offers the perfect opportunity to teach children about farming sustainability practices such as water conservation, soil management, and agricultural seeding. Therefore, farming is considered one of the greatest activities for families.
Farming for Families
Not many people get to experience farming, but it is something that we all hear about.Farming can be a great experience for families, especially if you’re looking for something new and exciting to do with your family. While some people may think of farming as a dangerous activity or one that requires a lot of work, there are many benefits of farming that make it worthwhile.
Below are examples of these benefits:
Interacting with different animals
Families that farm together can interact with different kinds of animals. Some examples are horses, cows, ducks, and chickens. They will get to feed the animals, clean their pens, or even ride them if they would like to! Farming is a great experience, especially for children who need to learn how to interact with animals.Many people become aspiring farmers just by getting their hands dirty on the farm when they’re young, and this is an excellent opportunity for families that want children to grow up loving farming. Children will learn how to care for different kinds of animals while growing up.
Learning about farming techniques
Farming is a great way to learn about the best farming techniques that seasoned farmers use. Learning about farming techniques will help you understand farming, and this will help develop your farming skills until you become an expert farmer.By learning about farming techniques, it will become easier to impart one’s knowledge to other people in the future. This will help people socialize more with people who love farming.
Having access to healthy and high-quality produce
Families that farm will always have access to healthy and high-quality produce. This will allow families to provide healthy food for their loved ones, which is very important because people who eat healthily are known to be more productive in life.Having access to good farming land will help you grow the best kinds of vegetables that your family can ever find! Therefore, families should maximize opportunities that allow them to engage in farming because of all the benefits that come with this endeavor.
Spending more time in nature
Farming helps people connect more with nature because farming is a great way to appreciate the natural environment. People who spend more time outside are known to have better mental health and overall well-being. This goes hand in hand with farming because people get to be surrounded by nature when they farm, so it’s important for families that want a healthy lifestyle to consider farming.By spending more time outdoors, families will be able to promote better health outcomes for their loved ones. After all, farming is all about spending time outdoors and being productive all the time as people take care of their farms.
Learning about responsibility
Farming teaches people a lot about responsibility because farming is all about caring for plants and animals. This will teach your children how to be more sensitive towards different living beings, which can help them become better people!Farming calls people to be responsible because the farm sure won’t take care of itself! Farmers need to be responsible to make sure that their farming business runs smoothly even with the changing weather conditions.
Acquiring a lot of unique skills
Farming takes a special set of skills because farming includes planting crops as well as taking care of farm animals. These are two completely separate skills that farming has to teach. Not only do you learn these unique skills, but farming also teaches how to work with others in a group setting.Farming isn’t just a one-man job; you need the help of other people to make everything work out properly on your farm. Therefore, farming is a great way for families to come together and work as a team.
Spending Time Farming as a Family
Many families like farming because they get their hands dirty every once in a while. They can plant seeds or milk cows together, which helps strengthen their bonds effectively. Therefore, farming is an excellent way for families to bond and learn a lot of new things together.

Over the past several years, Westlake Watershed District has participated in an ongoing project to provide community members, including both seniors and students, with opportunities to engage and learn about sustainable agricultural practices.
This project, known as A.A.C.R.E., has involved the development and construction of a community park with several hugelkulture garden beds, a greenhouse and a wheelchair accessible fruit tree orchard, as well as the development of several hugelkulture garden beds and the planting of fruit trees on the Alonsa Community School property.
Hugelkulture is a type of raised garden bed made from digging a hole in the earth. Logs are piled in the hole, followed by branches, twigs, smaller organic matter and finally soil on top.
As part of the A.A.C.R.E. project, the Westlake Watershed District has officially opened the Sam and Anne Zdan Memorial Park. Named after two pillars of the community. The District held an official opening for the park and unveiling of the name on August 25th, 2018. In conjunction with the grand opening, we also held a 40th Anniversary celebration for the district which was formally Alonsa Conservation District and provided the community with food and drinks to mark the occasion.
We would like to extend a big thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate and help with the occasion as it was a great success and a beautiful day.
By developing this project, WWD hopes to engage community members of all ages and educate the public on sustainable agricultural practices and growing the food that you eat. The park will also allow the public to enjoy the outdoors and provide a healthy and safe location for meeting and engaging in the community.


Each kit includes:
Heirloom Microgreen Seeds

MICRO BRUSSELS SPROUTS
Brussels sprouts are often overlooked by consumers, but this Micro Green is loaded with nutrition and appetizing flavor. In fact, along with Micro Kale and Micro Broccoli, this is one of God's most nutritional vegetables. It is rich in vitamins C, K and B-complex. Micro Brussels Sprouts also has zeaxanthin which provides important antioxidant protection for the eyes. This valuable
Micro Green contains powerful natural components which can be converted into indole-3-carbinol. Researchers are still discovering the benefits of this divine plant. Some nutrients found in Brussels sprouts have recently been
the basis for new studies on inflammation. Scientists have also suggested sulforaphane, a highly beneficial phytonutrient found in our Micro Brussels Sprouts, will trigger anti-inflammatory activity in the cardiovascular system.
