RIGA – On April 14, 1935, about 3,000 people gathered inside the main city theater in Jelgava, home of a sugar refinery. They came to hear presentations about benefits of eating sugar in what would become the launch of the nationwide campaign to promote sugar consumption in Latvia for the following months.
“Doubling the consumption, we will be able to double the number of sugar plants and beets fields, creating more jobs for workers,” the director of the state sugar monopoly told the gathered crowd.
The state sugar monopoly produced almost 54,000 tons of sugar in the previous year, the biggest harvest in Latvia’s history. Storing sugar was an expensive affair. Because the cost to produce sugar by the state monopoly was seven times more expensive than the price of sugar on the world market, the state could not import sugar.
So local officials, sugar lobby, and bosses at the state sugar monopoly spearheaded the nationwide campaign to promote sugar consumption, saying that Latvians consume much less sugar compared to the Danes, the Swedes and the Germans. The newspapers were flooded with articles about benefits of sugar, promoting the national pride in sugar refineries and Latvia’s self-sufficiency in sugar production for its own needs. One headline declared that in 1935 Latvia would not need to import any sugar. Another article even suggested that the world’s oldest beets-to-sugar refinery was founded in Riga in 1794.
The state promoted alleged health benefits of sugar. “Sugar consumption will give you a boost of energy and strength,” one doctor told the group in Jelgava. “Sugar is necessary for the body to fight various diseases.”
The Prime Minister Karlis Ulmanis also took part in the propaganda campaign. Speaking to farmers in Valmiera, he said, “Put now two spoons of sugar instead of one!”
In spite of all its efforts, the sugar consumption campaign flopped. The headlines of the state-controlled newspapers proclaimed the great response from the people of Latvia to eat more sugar. People flooded many propaganda events. They watched sugar propaganda films that flooded the cinemas. They read colored booklets telling them to eat more sugar. They listened to speeches, promoting sugar consumption. They applauded the speakers.
But they never acted.
In spite of the campaign, the sugar consumption per capita fell in 1935, compared to the previous year. At the start of the campaign, the sugar price rose, making it difficult for Latvians to spend money on the patriotic duty of purchasing healthy Latvian sugar. As a result, the sugar consumption dropped from 21.7 kg per person in 1934 to 21.2 kg per person in 1935. By 1939, after several years of bad sugar beets harvest, the state monopoly was forced to think about importing sugar once again. The increased consumption over the years depleted the sugar reserves and the government turned to limiting sugar consumption by rationing through government-issued sugar cards.
Nevertheless, to this day, people of that generation take three spoons of sugar with their tea – one for each Latvian sugar refinery.


The food sector in Maine has had a long and rich history in growing, harvesting and processing food and beverages. This has been built off of the natural amenity advantages of abundant land, water and marine resources. Maine’s priorities on locally and sustainably sourced food seek to maintain these amenities by working creatively within the natural constraints of the region’s short growing season. By embracing technologies that rely less on pesticides, herbicides, preservatives, and additives, by preserving open spaces for working landscapes and fertile soil, and by reducing carbon emissions by growing food locally across shorter distribution lines, Maine's values to maintain its natural beauty are carried over into the health of its food system. A significant and growing number of people across all corners of the state are employed or business owners in the food sector from production, processing, transportation and distribution, to retail in the form of farmers’ markets, co-ops, markets, grocery stores and restaurants. When restaurants and individuals source and purchase their food locally they are making an investment in Maine’s economy and people.
From farmers, to fishermen, to foragers, to chefs, Maine has earned the brand of producing high quality food and beverage. That brand of quality has resulted in Maine ranking 2nd in the United States for growth of young farmers, who have infused an entrepreneurial and innovative energy into a heritage industry. That innovation is being seen across the farmland, up and down Maine’s robust coastline in the fishing and aquaculture sectors, to what is on our plates.
On a Maine Food for Thought tour, we look forward to shining a light on the ingenuity, adaptability, and grit of those that work tirelessly on behalf of the Maine food sector to better the health of local economies, ecosystems and communities. We encourage you to learn more here about some of Maine’s producers and nonprofit and research organizations whose efforts will ensure a sustainable Maine future.
To reveal the distinctive stories of Maine’s unique food system, and the social, environmental, and economic connections.
A future where people feel an intimate connection to their food decisions and a sense of responsibility for the sustainable relationships their food has within their communities.
WHO WE ARE
Bryce and Sarah Hach
Maine Food for Thought Co-Founders, Bryce and Sarah Hach, met in statistics class (cue the romantic music) in public policy and management graduate school in Pittsburgh and previously lived and worked in numerous states and in London, UK. They spent their first wedding anniversary in Maine and instantly fell in love with the natural beauty and amenities. For several years, they couldn’t get Maine off of their minds and so in December 2012 (yes—during a Maine winter), they made a “move of intention” to the beautiful Portland, Maine area and are proud to call Maine home.
Maine Food for Thought blends Bryce and Sarah’s interests to be lifelong learners, their professional backgrounds in the education, conservation, economic development and nonprofit sectors, and of course their mutual love of FOOD!!
Maine Food for Thought’s goal is to provide guests with an entertaining, educational and delicious local seasonal food experience as they discover Maine’s “authentic story behind the plate!”


Maybe it’s due to Daniel Bryan but gardening never seemed so interesting. Ever since his retirement, he’s had a lot of time on his hands so he’s started a mean garden.
The Bella Twins’ YouTube channel recently put up a great video of Daniel Bryan as he expertly plants an herb garden. But there are plenty more where that came from.
In this latest video, he discusses the best way to grow onions and along with one of the best pest control remedies, planting methods, and announces that his biggest pest is the French Bulldog Winston.
Nikki initially owned Winston, but during the first season of Total Bellas, Nikki with the encouragement from John Cena, let Brie and Bryan take care of him. It looks like Winston is having a great time. Apparently, Winston loves eating seeds and will regularly invade the garden to eat the Danielson’s produce before it’s ready for harvest.
Their other French Bulldog Josie can be seen chasing a birdhouse. No birds were in sight. You can see where she has dug a rut in the backyard and no grass grows there.
It’s great to see Daniel doing this because he seems happy. He still shows up on Tuesday Nights, but he’s not doing what he loved to do for so long. Well, one things for sure, that we love watching him, no matter what he’s doing.
If you liked that, then The Bella Twins YouTube channel has got you covered. He’s also shown us how to plant a pomegranate tree. He’s really great at this. He needs his own HGTV or WWE Network gardening show.
He’s also taken a stab at mushrooms. Really, he has more and we’ve watched all of them. Like we said, he really needs his own gardening show. Brie Bella makes a great co-host/camerawoman with his French Bulldogs as his happy-go-lucky sidekicks.


Many (if not all) of vineyards east of the Rockies have challenging summer time conditions that promotes develpment of major fungal diseases such as downy mildew, powdery mildew, black rot, Phomopsis cane and leaf spot, and Botrytis, we often focus our discussion on these diseases. However, we should not forget about trunk diseases that can affect the life of grapevines. Some of the examples are: Botryosphaeria canker, Petri disease (aka Esca), Crown Gall, and Eutypa dieback. In addition, some of the other pathogens such as Phomopsis are also capable of infecting woody tissues.
These diseases typically cause damages to the infected vines in a long timespan. Thus, the infection today may not cause any obvious damage until a few years from now. These pathogens act more like a “silent killer” and can shorten the life of the vine by 5-10 years. Thus, the prevention of these diseases will benefit you in a long run. On the other hand, if you have younger vines (up to 5 years or so), these diseases can progress rapidly and cause a decline of the infected vine within a year or two.
Since these pathogens limit the movement of water and nutrients by infecting xylem and phloem, typical symptoms of these diseases are discoloration of leaves and shoots. However, often time it is very difficult to diagnose what is going on because many of symptoms are very similar to each other.
To address these issues, our lab have a collaborative project with Dr. Kendra Baumgartner's group at USDA/ARS in Davis, CA. We obtained USDA/NIFA Specialty Crop Research Initiative grant in 2012 to investigate more on these important diseases. The primary focus of our group is to develop extension tools that can help diagnostics as well as development of management strategies.
If you are interested in our activities, please visit our project site (Note: we are still working on the hosting site, I am hoping to have it published by mid-April 2014). In the future, our plan is to provide 1) Mobile/Web application for trunk disease diagnostics, 2) Updated factsheets for major trunk diseases, 3) Develop a new trunk disease database, 4) Offer webiners and video clips on trunk disease management, and 5) Offer in-service trainings for extension agents, crop consultants, certified pesticide applicators, etc.
Also as a part of the project activities, I have uploaded trunk disease management guide for VA. Please take a look at it.


This aspect, perhaps one of the most important of extra virgin olive oil, not all oils taste the same and therefore we can find different flavors among the same producer or even within the same variety of olive.This is because the taste of extra virgin olive oil depends mainly on the variety of the fruit, but also to a large extent on the place where it is grown, the climatic conditions, the optimal time and the way of harvesting, the optimal amount of water and sun that the harvest has received and many more aspects.Therefore we can say that there are as many flavors as oils. A peculiarity of the freshly extracted oil is its spiciness in some varieties of olives and the intense flavor.” If it stings and makes you cough… THE BETTER”
Conservation is a key factor when we talk about olive oil since we are facing a product that begins to lose its properties, like each fruit, at the moment we remove the olive from the tree.Unlike wine or whiskey, virgin olive oil does not improve over time. We must take into account that when consuming olive oil that is not from a very old harvest and if it is from the the last years harvest so much the better, this will guarantee that we consume an oil that has lost very few properties due to the passage of time. In addition to this there are many factors that influence the conservation of the oil, among them these are the main ones:
The Light.- Once the juice of the olive is extracted, we must keep it in containers or places where they are not exposed to light, especially sunlight because this will also cause temperature changes. Always avoid exposing containers to light and sudden changes in temperature. The ideal is to keep the product in dark or black containers where light does not penetrate and keep it around a constant temperature of 15ºC.
Air.- This is another enemy of oil since it accelerates the oxidation of the product, in the same way that it is a product very susceptible to capturing and retaining external odors. Therefore it is best to keep it in airtight containers.
Containers.- As mentioned before, you should use containers as opaque as possible and avoid contact with metal containers since contact with iron can cause rancidity (old taste ) in the oil.
Contrary to what we may think, color is not a key indicator in the quality of olive oil, in fact in the official tastings of oils opaque glasses and containers or some color are used so that this is not decisive in the score of the oil.
The color of extra virgin olive oil can vary from green to yellow and is closely related to factors such as the variety of olive, the point of maturity of the same or the time it has been packaged.
When the fruit is greener it contains more chlorophyll and pheophytins which gives the oil a greener color and when the olive is riper, it increases the content of carotenes and xanthophylls which gives it a more yellowish color.
Therefore, instead of taking into account the color, we should look more at the packaging date when choosing our extra virgin olive oil.
This is a key factor in the quality of extra virgin olive oil since as we have explained in the section “Types of Olive Oils” extra virgin olive oil must comply with an acidity equal to or less than 0.8% so we can say that the lower the acidity, the higher the quality of the oil.
However, we must bear in mind that the degree of acidity is not detected in the color or flavor but must be fixed by a laboratory through specific tests.
It is common for us to confuse acidity with an intense, acidic, sour or bitter flavor but these characteristics have to do mainly with the variety of olive and not with the acidity of the product.
Therefore, let’s look at the label and keep in mind that “the lower the acidity, the higher the quality of the oil”.
As we can see in the section “Types of Olive Oils”, the denomination of EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL is what guarantees us that it is an oil extracted from the olive only by mechanical means without the intervention of chemical or temperature processes (Olive juice) as it was done in olden times even before our era, In addition, this denomination also guarantees that the acidity is below 0.8%. Therefore when choosing an olive oil, always keep in mind that it is “EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL” with only that name, at least in Spain, it is always a guarantee of good oil.
To guarantee this quality, all our oils are called “EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL” so you will not be able to find other types of oils on our site.
The date indicated on the label is very important since, as we have said before, extra virgin olive oil begins to lose properties at the time of extraction of the olive itself, we would even dare to say that at the same time of the harvest of the fruit. That is why it is important to take into account the date reflected on the label, if the expiration date is very close, the oil may have lost many of the properties attributed to them.
Many of the producers reflect on their labels the packaging date instead of the expiration date so we can know which harvest the oil is from. The ideal would be to consume oil from the last harvest.
It is a peculiarity that we often overlook but at the same time no less important.
Both the harvest of the olive at its optimum moment and the time that elapses from when it is collected until the oil is extracted in the mill, are factors that play a very important role in the quality, taste and smell of extra virgin olive oil. Therefore, the shorter the time elapsed between the harvest of the fruit (olive) to the packaging process itself – bottling, the less properties the oil will have lost. To guarantee this quality, all our oils are packaged in the place of origin or very close to the olive plantations themselves because we work with small producers in small mills (extraction mills) where rapid extraction is guaranteed and we avoid mixtures with other oils.
Lately we can find in stores or oil mills (mills where they sell oil directly), filtered and unfiltered extra virgin olive oils, even being from the same harvest and variety, these are the main differences:
Unfiltered extra virgin olive oil.- It is not strictly as its name suggests since it is not literally oil that has not had any filtering. The ground olive has only been subjected to a decanting process and a very light filtering without removing vegetable and water remains from the olive itself, thus having a cloudy colour. The advantage that this oil has is its intensity of flavor and that it preserves even more of the properties of extra virgin olive oil. Another advantage is the certainty that it is oil from the last harvest since over time all the impurities are deposited little by little at the bottom of the container and the oil ceases to be cloudy. The drawback is that having traces of water and olive particles, its oxidation is faster and loses the properties more quickly. They are advisable to eat at the time of olive harvesting for their intense flavor and for their magnificent properties.
Filtered extra virgin olive oil.- It is the same oil as the previous one, it is not refined oil and of course without chemical treatment or subjected to high temperatures, but that through a more meticulous decantation and filtering process, the water and the small particles resulting from the mass of the olive have been extracted.
Lacking water and small olive particles, conservation is better because oxidation is much slower.
If we choose to buy oil for several months, for example for the whole year, the ideal is to stockpile filtered oil and apply our own conservation rules. In this way we will guarantee an excellent extra virgin olive oil for the whole season.
In recent years and especially in Spain, the price of olive oil has been the subject of trade wars between large distribution chains with the intention of attracting customers. We must bear in mind that a good quality extra virgin olive oil will never have a cheap price tag since as we have said, to reach this quality we need a series of measures in the elaboration that moves away from industrial processes, mixture of oils from other seasons, overproduction, applying heat and several factors that we have explained above.
For all this we must be wary of very cheap oils or offers in this type of product. “If it’s very cheap, don’t trust it.”
The best oil is the one we like, as long as we take into account all the rules we already know about the oil and of course as long as it is extra virgin olive oil.
Depending on the variety of olive we can find more spicy or less spicy, bitter oils, ones with strong roots to the olive or softer tastes. It also depends on the use we give it, there are oils that go better with salads, others for dressing cheeses, for frying or to have at breakfast with toasted bread (Old miller’s breakfast). It all depends on our taste and our experience with extra virgin olive oil.


Years of experience and studies show that the safest and most efficient way to keep electric rights-of-way clear of trees and brush is through the careful use of herbicides. We use a selective herbicide program that assures safe and easy access for our service and maintenance needs while preserving natural surroundings, including wildlife habitat, for all to enjoy.
With less competition for moisture, sunlight and nutrients, a meadow filled with grasses, legumes and wildflowers can evolve. Research shows that this type of setting enhances wildlife and provides a better environment for wildlife to live. This type of vegetation is ideal for many species of wildlife.
The herbicides that we use work on enzymes found only within plants, not people or animals. These herbicides enter through the leaves or bark and are moved within the plant to control it from the inside. All of the products we use have undergone years of testing and are registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
All herbicides are applied by certified applicators, or under their direct supervision. Applicators must conform to all local, state, and federal laws in regard to herbicides.
The use of herbicides can reduce the cost of vegetation control by up to 75%. Trees that are cut or mowed have to be re-cleared every few years and the density only gets worse and more costly to keep under control.
|All herbicides are applied by certified applicators, or under their direct supervision. Applicators must conform to all local, state, and federal laws in regard to herbicides.|
Herbicides reduce the overall stem density, which in turn decreases the amount of money needed to maintain the same right-of-way over time. The ability to save money and provide quality habitat for wildlife is a win-win for all that are involved.
Frequently Asked Questions
How safe are the herbicides Ozarks Electric Cooperative uses?
Every herbicide we use has met stringent EPA safety testing standards. When applied according to the labels' directions they do not represent an unreasonable risk to people, organisms or the environment.
Will herbicide applications harm my pets?
Not if the label directions are followed. Our applicators always apply herbicides according to directions and only use products that are registered with the EPA and safe to apply around animals.
How do we know that herbicides are not harmful to wildlife or humans?
Herbicides are one of the most regulated products in the United States. Products must go through up to 120 tests and can take up to 10 years to become registered. It takes millions of dollars in safety tests before a product can be put on the market. All of the tests are required and reviewed by the EPA.


A Nashville native, Christa received a degree in Environmental Policy from UT Knoxville before heading west, where she spent five years learning and working on sustainable farms and in communities across Oregon and California. Her love for food exploded when the circle was closed between growing, cooking and sharing big meals on the farm. After heading back to Tennessee, she was excited to find a group of like-minded, food-loving friends at The Nashville Food Project. When she's not at work, Christa spends her time living and working on the farm she owns with her partner Todd, Sweeter Days Farm. There, she spends her weekends growing flowers & herbs, working to improve their local food shed, and, of course, cooking big farm dinners for anyone near enough to hear the dinner bell.

Bicolour (Black/White), multilayer co-extrusion film, manufactured in LDPE and LLDPE (lineal), in thicknesses starting from 100 microns.
This film has been designed to be used as the base of the substratum for hydroponics crops.
Properties and Applications
Hydroponics require cultivating the crops inside substrate sacs, which act as soil substrate. This is the reason they are also called “crops without soil”.
Greater mechanical properties and strong resistance to tearing, giving an optimum performance against external conditions such as wind, rain, hail, etc.
The white provides homogeny extraphotoluminic nutrition for the plant because of its light reflection effect.
Thanks to the reflection effect, the film becomes less hot than a black film. This way we avoid the risk of burns of the plant.
The black colour blocks the solar light transmission, preventing weed growth.

Punjab and its Stubble-Burning Bind
Stubble are the straws belonging to grain plants that are left sticking out of the ground after the harvest season. Farmers in India need to get rid of this stubble to prepare for the second sowing season from the end of October to November. Last year, stubble burning in Northern India significantly contributed to carbon monoxide, methane, and volatile organic compound pollution, which resulted in smog that caused several health problems for citizens. The heavy fog formation at the end of the harvest season could become an annual concern for many residents of Northern India.
Currently, the majority of these farmers burn their stubble to clear their land. This method is inefficient as it results in massive amounts of smoke, which last year prevented the burning of around 15 million tonnes of stubble. Furthermore, many Indians were not able to leave their houses without wearing an air mask to prevent the intake of the pollution. It was a major factor in certifying Delhi as the most polluted city in the world.
There are alternate methods to clear stubble, such as using the Happy Seeder. The Happy Seeder is an eco-friendly machine that is used to sow wheat without burning any stubble. The only problem is that this machine is largely unaffordable. The Happy Seeder can cost up to $3,000 CAD, and 66% of Punjab farmers earn less than $1,010 CAD per year. Also, considering that many Punjab farmers have debts worth tens of thousands of dollars, it is nearly impossible for them to purchase such a device.
The solution that the Punjab government has implemented this year is to fine farmers around $4,500 CAD for burning their stubble. Unfortunately, Punjab farmers can afford neither the more environmentally-friendly machinery nor the fine for burning stubble. Politician Sukhpal Singh Khaira remarked in an interview with Hindustan Times that “farmers have no option, as the government has completely failed to provide machinery, subsidy or financial assistance”. So, what should the Punjab farmers do now?
Some farmers have already started to burn the stubble to prepare for the sowing season at the end of October. Others are waiting for the government's assistance. Regardless, this is a serious issue that can’t be ignored. This pollution is affecting the health of around 84% of Punjab’s population as well as neighbouring states such as Delhi, which cannot afford more of the destructive effects of pollution
I believe this environmental issue has become a political concern, as well. It should be the government's responsibility to provide low-income farmers with machinery, such as the Happy Seeder, or financial assistance to prevent stubble burning. Instead, it seems that the government is looking to profit off this problem by not addressing it all. If the government can’t afford to accommodate farmers with these resources, there should be some sort of campaign held to raise money for this purpose. Even if the municipal government obtains four or five machines, farmers can share these machines to clear their stubble. This could result in a cleaner and healthier environment for many people, and it’s clear that such change needs to take place now.


Harvest Festival is being celebrated throughout the month, where farmers and growers give thanks for a successful harvest season and at St Catherine’s we want to give to those less fortunate in our local community. This Harvest, we are appealing for donations of dry, tinned, long-life goods such as – tinned food (vegetables, fruit, meat, fish) – spreads (butter, jam, honey etc.)- long-life milk, juice and drinks – dried pasta – cooking sauces – condiments – tea and coffee – rice – cereal- toiletries. These will be taken to HAB– Homeless Action In Barnet in North Finchley. Thank you in advance for your generosity.

Story telling from Australia
Spring arrived on Tuesday here in the southern hemisphere. I didn’t realise. I thought spring started on September 1st, likewise autumn in the northern hemisphere, but it turns out I was wrong. See?
I’ve been wrong about a lot of things lately.
Wrong to think this concrete and brick yard wasn’t a garden, wrong to think vegetables would never grow here, wrong to give up before I’d even tried.
Well, that’s not strictly true. I did try last year, planting a random selection of melons, tomatoes and beetroot when I’d only been living here for a few short weeks and had no idea how the sun tracked across the sky. I hadn’t noticed how it hid behind buildings only to re-appear later to illuminate what I thought was a pocket of shade, and I was far too impatient to notice where the shadows crept and lengthened, where the sunlight shone most brightly, where it lingered for the longest time.
Almost a year later I’ve accumulated a little wisdom, and more than a little patience; I’ve been forced to accept the limitations of this back yard, and work within them.
Funny that this should be the week I notice green shoots everywhere, and silly me for bemoaning the lack of growth on this very blog a couple of weeks ago. ‘It’s spring but you’d never know it here in Sydney,’ I moaned.
Oh me of little faith. It wasn’t spring. And I was wrong to give up hope.
Snow peas have confirmed they can flourish down the skinny side of the house, where sunlight penetrates between tall buildings for long enough to encourage the peas to clamber towards the light. Planting a tomato may be over optimistic but the neglected plant, bought cheaply along with a broken planter box, seems to be recovering.
I’d dismissed that side passageway as unworkable, a place for weeds and scrambling bell vine that I’d ignore for months then have to hack my way through. Now I’m down there most days, tending to the espaliered fig (we’d never get past if it was allowed to grow unchecked), watering seedlings and examining the cucumber that will hopefully follow the peas in search of light.
Newspaper reports in recent days sound alarmist, blowing the trumpets of war and detailing atrocities committed in the name of religion. We live in a world that suddenly seems dark and gloomy, dire warnings and bleak images transmitted daily into our living rooms.
It tells me to count my blessings, to help those in need and to focus on love, not hate.
I hope I’m not wrong in searching for the light.


As reported several days ago, a new discovery at a 23,000-year-old site on the shores of the Sea of Galilee is sure to shake up accepted beliefs about the dawn of agriculture. Here, archeologists have uncovered the earliest evidence of plant cultivation in the eastern Mediterranean regions of the Levant—a find that pushes back the beginnings of farming some 11,000 years.
According to accepted theory, the agricultural revolution arose in the middle east—in the general vicinity of what is now Iraq, areas of Iran, the Levant, and parts of Turkey—around 12,000 years ago. However, a new study published July 22 in the open-access journal PLOS One tells a new and stunningly different story.
The Ohalo II site, which was was inhabited 23,000 years ago at the height of the last ice age by a community of hunter-gatherers, was discovered in 1989 when the Sea of Galilee’s dropping water levels exposed six brush huts, the exceptionally well-preserved remains of both plant and animal food, and abundant evidence of flint tool use and manufacture.
The authors—archeologists, botanists and ecologists from Bar Ilan University, Tel Aviv University (TAU), Haifa University, and Harvard University—base their conclusion that these ancient humans engaged in farming on “three inter-connected findings,” according to lead researcher Prof. Ehud Weiss of Bar Ilan University’s Martin (Szusz) Department of Land of Israel Studies and Archeology in a statement provided to Science Recorder.
First, the site contains a higher than expected presence of domestic-type grains, including wheat and barley, instead of wild varieties. Second, the team detected a high concentration of ‘proto-weeds,’ which tend to grow in disturbed or cultivated soils. Third, they found a number of implements associated with farming, including sickles with embedded flint and bone handles and a grinding slab.
“The plant remains from the site were unusually well-preserved because of being charred and then covered by sediment and water which sealed them in low-oxygen conditions,” explains Weiss. “Due to this, it was possible to recover an extensive amount of information on the site and its inhabitants—which made this a uniquely preserved site, and therefore one of the best archeological examples worldwide of hunter-gatherers’ way of life.”
Weiss added: “Here we see evidence of repeated sowing and harvesting of later domesticated cereals.”
Within the Ohalo II huts the researchers found as many as 150,000 plant remains, representing more than 140 different plant species, including edible wild emmer, barley, and oats. In addition, 13 species of proto-weeds appear to have been unintentionally gathered together with the edible grains.
“Because weeds thrive in cultivated fields and disturbed soils, a significant presence of weeds in archeobotanical assemblages retrieved from Neolithic sites and settlements of later age is widely considered an indicator of systematic cultivation,” write the authors.
Importantly, the grinding slab the team discovered provides “unequivocal” evidence that grains were gathered, brought into the hut, and ground into flour, Weiss notes.
Because there are no signs that plant cultivation continued in the Levant, the researchers think the Ohalo II site may represent the first trial efforts at simple agriculture. Nevertheless, the discovery that humans were becoming familiar with farming practices as early as 23,000 years ago is showing that, “our ancestors were cleverer and more skilled than we had assumed,” says Weiss. “Although full-scale agriculture did not develop until much later, the attempt had already begun.”


Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is the full form of the PM Kisan scheme. It is a government scheme that is monitored by the government of our country for the welfare of the farmers. It is a state government-funded scheme that aims at improving the quality of life for all cultivators in our country. Through this scheme, the farmers will receive a small amount of money which is used for farming purposes.
This amount is given in so many installments. At present, the basic amount that is supplied to an individual farmer is 6000 rupees. And the number of installments are three. That means the whole year is divided into three parts and in each part they will deposit 2000 rupees. This amount is deposited into the respective bank account once in four months.

Stacy, the lady that lives in this house, told me that the yard used to be grass all the way up to the house. One day earlier this year she thought, "Maybe I can plant a garden in my front yard." So she cleared away the grass from in front of the house, put a rock fence to divide the lawn from the garden, and planted some flower seeds. She had some sunflower seeds in the house and thought, "I wonder if these will grow."
A few weeks after she got her answer to both questions. Yes, she could have a beautiful garden in her front yard, and sunflower plants will grow from those seeds.
Have you planted anything to make your life more beautiful lately?
