Hemp: Specialty Crop For The Paper Industry In 1994 a four year research program to evaluate the feasability of the cultivation of hemp (Cannabis sativa L., Cannabinaceae) as a raw material source for the paper industry was finalized. Three aspects, primary production, pulp processing, and paper production, based on an integrated chain model from farm to factory were studied.

In this paper a summary of the research results will be presented. For more detailed information see van Berlo (1993). Primary Production Genetic Collection/Optimization Since 1986, a collection of commercial available germplasm including old cultivars and wild material was initiated.

Flax Production In North Dakota Flax production in North Dakota history and use, growth and development, growing the crop, ND flax variety descriptions, pest control, harvesting and storage, and seed flax straw. http://www.ext.nodak.edu/extpubs/plantsci/crops/a1038w.htm
Extractions: Richard K. Zollinger , Extension Weeds Agronomist Flax (Linum usitatissimum) production goes back to ancient history. Flax remnants were found in Stone Age dwellings in Switzerland, and ancient Egyptians made fine linens from flax fiber. Flax production moved west across the northern United States and Canada during the 1800s. As settlers moved west, flax was one of the crops produced. North Dakota farmers have grown flax since the first sod was broken. Two types of flax are grown, seed flax, for the oil in its seed, and fiber flax, for the fiber in its stem. Today producers in the Upper Midwest and the Prairie Provinces of Canada grow seed flax. Flax seed is crushed to produce linseed oil and linseed meal. Linseed oil has many industrial uses; linseed meal is used for livestock feed. The fiber in seed flax stems is used to make fine paper and as tow or padding in upholstered furniture. Cigarette paper is a major flax paper product. Human consumption of flax seed is increasing rapidly for its high dietary fiber, omega 3 oils, and anticarcinogenic lignans. Flax seed oil is used as a vegetable oil by some consumers and processors say its use is doubling annually. Whole or (preferably) ground flax seed is consumed mostly in bakery products. "Omega eggs" from hens fed flax seed are produced and sold in the U.S. and Canada for their high omega 3 oil content. Much flax seed meal also is fed to pets and other animals. Research is being conducted to determine the health benefits of human consumption of flax seed products.

Extractions: We at International Ag Labs, Inc., use the Ream's Biological Theory of Ionization as our approach to making soil grow along with crops. Dr. Carey Reams was a soil scientist who looked at the soil as a living part of our environment. He realized that some of the practices that are being used in modern agriculture were not beneficial to soil life. We have studied and personally worked with Dr. Reams to learn the methods he used. Dr. Reams passed away in 1987, but we have tried to carry on his legacy. We do consulting work on any crop. Each crop is handled different. If we are raising a leaf crop such as spinach, our fertility program would be specific for spinach. A grain crop such as wheat or corn would be entirely different from spinach. We have worked on soil problems throughout the world. The problems we see are mostly man made. Whatever your problem is, we at IAL would like to help you in whatever way we can.

Crop Profiles - Sweetpotato A section from an online publication, Sustainable Practices for Vegetble production in the South http://www.cals.ncsu.edu/sustainable/peet/profiles/c18swpot.html
Extractions: Home Sweetpotatoes (Ipomoea batatas) are perennial dicots in the morning glory family (Convolvulaceae) which are cropped as annuals. Sweetpotatoes should not be confused with yams which are monocots in the family Dioscoreaceae. Yams are grown as a staple in many tropical countries, but are seldom grown in the continental United States. Origin Sweetpotatoes probably originated in Central or South America but are now grown in many tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions. Plant Characteristics Sweetpotato plants produce primary fibrous roots, pencil roots and storage roots. Storage roots are the only part eaten in the United States, but in parts of Asia the leaves are cooked like spinach and eaten as a green vegetable. Storage roots are attached to the stem by a stalk of thinner root which is usually initiated at the stem node just below the soil line. Skin color of storage roots ranges from white to brown to red-orange. Flesh color of storage roots can be red-orange, orange, yellow or white. The flesh can be either soft or firm. In the southern states, commercial types are soft-fleshed, developing a moist, sugary consistency during cooking as starches are converted into maltose and dextrins. Cultivars Because sweetpotatoes are vegetatively propagated and because uniformity in appearance of roots is important, at any one time only a few cultivars dominate the industry, and these cultivars tend to change slowly. Growers are now evaluating a number of new cultivars to decide which will replace the 'Jewel' cultivar that has been the industry standard for almost 20 years. Jewel has excellent eating quality, deep orange flesh, red-orange skin, good shape, and sprouts readily, making it easy to propagate.
