Extractions: I spoke with Walt Stevenson, vegetable plant pathologist and Patty McManus, fruit crop pathologist about how this cancellation will affect Wisconsins fruit and vegetable growers. In Wisconsin vegetable production, benomyl is registered for use on carrots, celery, beans, and vine crops. It is used in snap bean production for Sclerotinia white mold and Botrytis gray mold control. Benomyl is also used on dry, lima, and wax beans. Alternative fungicides for beans include Topsin-M, Rovral, and Ronilan. Recently, a new microbial fungicide, Contans WG ( Coniothyrium minitans ) was labeled for the control of white mold on beans. This product has a broad range of crops for which its registered and is applied to soil and plant residue to reduce the amount of sclerotia that serve as inoculum for the disease. Crop rotations of at least 2 years between bean crops or other susceptible crops are also recommended to reduce disease pressure in beans.

Extractions: Genetically Engineered Foods / Crops Learn what the media, farmers, food and biotech companies are NOT telling you about genetically engineered foods and crops. Most people do not realize that 75% of the foods in grocery stores contain genetically engineered ingredients. Other than the articles presented below I have been following this topic through GE newsletters and other web sites. I think it is terrible that we are being so deceived by this so called 'science'. As you will learn from researching 'reliable resources' about this subject is that these companies; such as Monsanto have the main goal of controlling the world's food supply (through selling seeds). Health is not a factor in the production of these crops and there is no testing for safetly by the FDA! Monsanto spent around $4 million dollars to defeat a food labeling law here in Oregon in 2002. They lied telling people that these crops are necessary to feed the hungry, increase crop yields, and less pesticide use. Well, the evidence in mounting that all their claims are failing. Due to increased uncontrollable weeds more pesticides are being used by farmers. Super weeds are growing that can no longer be controlled by additional chemical. Farmers in less developed countries can't afford the high price of these seeds which have to be bought every year! And the list goes on and on ... read the articles below and visit the Important GE Links below to educate yourself on this subject.

Become involved and know what you are eating. The same companies that produce the chemicals which are destroying our environment and then create drugs and control the medical profession are now trying to control our food supply. Are you willing to let drug companies benefit further by destroying the food we eat so they can make a profit for additional drugs we will need to recover from the health problems they produce?

Extractions: Livestock Editor T Direct marketed meat Sales of direct marketed meat in Minnesota have increased dramatically the past few years. In beef cattle, the increase has been from 22,000 head to 32,000 head per year. Given a traditional 40-pair cow-calf herd, this increase represents the equivalent of 250 beef operations. Consumer demand for organic foods continues to increase rapidly, both domestically and abroad. Producers and traditional food companies alike overlook the opportunities in this market at their own peril. Having said that, organic production requires far more attention to the entire needs of the food production, processing and consuming chain, and is not for everyone. The organic food chain is still short enough and small enough for well-organized producers to be credible and meaningful suppliers and owners of that chain. But that situation will not last forever.

ASHS Press, Alexandria, VA. MEADOWFOAM Raw Material and Products Competing Sources Crop Status ... REFERENCES Successful temperate new crops must either fit well into the rotation of established food, feed, or fiber crops, provide a product that is relatively more valuable than the current crop, or be better suited to growing on a given area. Proximity of growers to potential processors (who manufacture the refined product) is key to economic advantage for the new crop over prior raw material sources. In the case of arid industrial crops, the issues of survival in a harsh climate and the cost of water are paramount, while in the higher latitude temperate zones the constraints are frost tolerance, length of growing season, crop response to daylength, water requirement (rain-fed or irrigated), and weather patterns during harvest. This paper examines the current status of several potential crops with an eye toward their requirements for success in temperate zones. Crops that are reaching or have reached active crop status include meadowfoam, fiber flax, and kenaf. Crops that are very promising, but require some further breeding, agronomy, or processing research include lesquerella, cuphea, euphorbia, and vernonia. Crops that are intriguing, but need more study to define their potential and value include grindelia and hesperaloe. Other potential crops, including those with application only in specific situations or those having received limited study and commercialization efforts are also briefly described.

Extractions: Thank you for your interest in our rare plants. The response received from customers, radio stations, newpapers and magazines around the country have been overwhelming. One of the most difficult challenges we face as a business is to keep all these rare plants in stock so there will be a good selection to choose from when you make your order. The wheels of propagation are slow and we find ourselves with only limimited quantities of some items. At this point in time, it will take between one to two years to replace our product line. Until that time, we will be working on botanical collections in South America and Asia and researching rare crops. If you ever call, send us a fax or e-mail us and no one seems to be answering, remember and smile; summer or winter, spring or autumn, the garden is glorious. Take a moment to embrace it wherever you are, and wait patiently for our new catalog and shipping dates. For those of you on our mailing list, be assured that you will receive notice in the mail when our plants are ready. If you would like, please browse the cataloge on line at

The Board of Trustees of the Village of Croton-on-Hudson finds that growth of population and attendant residential and commercial development and increasing demands upon natural resources have the potential of encroaching upon, despoiling, polluting or eliminating many of the wetlands, water bodies and watercourses of the village which, if preserved, constitute important physical, economic, social, historic, archaeological, aesthetic, recreational and ecological assets to present and future residents of the village and provide important beneficial functions, including natural flood and stormwater control, groundwater recharge, natural pollution treatment, erosion and sediment control, wildlife habitat creation, recreation and open space enhancement and educational opportunities.
