Bill & Dana Carroll • Phone (509) 397-2191 P.O. Box 306 • Colfax, WA 99111 Five Questions Non-Operator We Are NoW DeAlers For Ag leADer Landowners Should Ask Their Farmers About Soil Health By Elisa O’Halloran, Webmaster & Writer, USDA-NRCS More farmers, ranchers and others who rely on the land are taking action to improve the health of their soil. Many farmers are actually building the soil. How? By using soil health management systems that include cover crops, diverse rotations and no-till. And when they’re building the soil they’re doing something else—they’re also building the land’s production potential over the long-term. But how do non-operator landowners (people who rent their land to farmers) know if their tenants are doing everything they need to do to make and keep their soil healthy? Barry Fisher, an Indiana farmer and nationally recognized soil health specialist with the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service, recommends that they ask their farming partner these five questions. 1. Do you build organic matter in the soil? Organic matter (carbon) may be the most important indicator of a farm’s productivity. The amount of soil organic matter often determines the price farmers will pay to rent or buy land. Finding a farmer who is interested in building organic matter by using practices like no-till and cover crops is like finding a bank with a better rate on a Certificate of Deposit, Fisher says. 2. Do you test the soil at least once every 4 years? Fisher says maintaining fertility and pH levels are important to your farm’s productivity. Regular soil testing can give an indication of trends in soil fertility, pH and organic matter levels in each field. These tests will determine the amount of fertilizer each field needs. If a field has a history of manure application and very high fertility, a farmer could save money by planting cover crops to keep those nutrients in place rather than applying more nutrients that may not be needed. 3. Do you use no-till practices? Some landowners like the look of a clean-tilled field in the springtime. That “nice look” is short lived, though. “The reality is a field that has bare soil is subject to erosion and loss of organic matter, since it no longer has the protective cover from the crop residue on the surface,” Fisher says. “No-till farming utilizes the crop residue to blanket the soil surface to protect it from the forces of intense rainfall and summer heat. This protective blanket will conserve moisture for the crop and prevent loss of soil from wind erosion, water erosion and CO2 (carbon) that could be burned off by summer heat.” 4. Do you use cover crops? “Like no-till, cover crops provide a green, protective blanket through the winter months or fallow times. The green-growing cover is collecting solar energy, putting down roots and providing habitat when the soil would otherwise be lifeless and barren,” says Fisher. This habitat provides food and shelter for a broad population of wildlife above ground and beneficial organisms below ground. As the new life emerges, cover crops hold onto the nutrients left from the previous crop and in turn releases them to the next crop. The solar rays these plants collect are powering photosynthesis, taking in CO2 from the atmosphere to produce food for the plant and the organisms living in the root zone. This same process also releases clean oxygen to the air and builds nutrient rich organic matter in the soil. 5. What can we do together to improve soil health on my land? To improve soil health, landowners and tenants have to think in terms of the long-term. According to Fisher, the duration of the lease agreement is perhaps the most critical matter in encouraging the adoption of these soil health management systems. “Farmers can actually build the production capacity and resiliency of their landowner’s soil, continued on page B4 March 2015, “The Growers’ Guide” Page B3 VERMEER 5420 4x5 BALERS CALL!

He suggests that landowners consider multiple-year leases that provide tenure security for the tenant. Longer tenures give both landowners and tenants more opportunities to improve soil health and realize the resulting longer-term production and profitability gains through sustainable conservation practices. “Improving soil health can provide long-term, stable dividends for you, your family and your farming partner,” Fisher says. “Improving soil health also can decrease the effects of flooding, make food production more resilient to weather extremes, and improve the health of water and wildlife, as well,” he adds. Fisher encourages landowners to learn more about the basics and benefits of soil health management systems and to begin the soil health discussion with their farming partner right away. “Even if you’re not a farmer or landowner, everyone has a great stake in improving the health of our soil,” he says.

H From Evelyn Boswell, Montana State University News Service A balloon that traveled to the edge of space this week carried two Montana State University experiments. One experiment—launched Feb. 19 and retrieved Feb. 20 after reaching 102,200 feet—tested a tracking and highdefinition link that MSU hopes to use during a total solar eclipse on Aug. 21, 2017. The Montana Space Grant Consortium is organizing a national effort where college students across the United States will monitor the eclipse with high-altitude balloons. The second experiment tested a computer system that’s designed to resist radiation in space. MSU recently received word that the tiny satellite it designed to carry the system was one of 14 CubeSats selected to fly on an upcoming NASA mission. “It was just awesome,” Angela Des Jardins, director of the Montana Space Grant Consortium, said about the 7 a.m. balloon launch. “Our students were thrilled to be there and be part of it.” MSU was one of two universities invited to send experiments on the balloon, an opportunity that arose from connections between MSU’s Dave Klumpar and World View, Des Jardins said. World View is the commercial balloon spaceflight company that launched the research flight from the Tucson, Ariz., area. Klumpar is director of MSU’s Space Science and Engineering Laboratory. The other university that flew an experiment on the balloon was the University of North Florida. That experiment was designed to measure the ozone gas profile in the stratosphere. The research and education payloads are part of World View’s commitment to opening routine access to high-altitude balloon flights, as well as its dedication to advancing science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) programs in schools, according to a Feb. 20 press release from World View. All three experiments involved multiple students over multiple years. Randy Larimer, deputy director of the Montana Space Grant Consortium, said more than 40 graduate students and undergraduate students over eight years were involved in designing the computer system. They are led by MSU faculty member Brock LaMeres. Besides flying on an upcoming satellite mission in 2016, the technology is scheduled to be tested on the International Space Station later this year. More than 15 students at MSU and Iowa State University contributed to the design of the video link that flew on the World View balloon, Larimer added. The video link test verified that the technology setup works well. Larimer and four MSU students went to Arizona for the balloon launch. The students were Sam Harkness, a graduate student in electrical engineering; Scott Miller, a senior in computer engineering; Tim Basta, a senior in mechanical engineering; and Trevor Clark, a senior in electrical engineering.

ASA Develops Certification In Sustainability For CCA’s The United Soybean Board (USB), American Society of Agronomy (ASA), and the International Certified Crop Adviser (ICCA) Program have partnered to develop new training for a specialty certification focused on sustainable agricultural practices. Consumers and the food industry are demanding that sustainable products be produced. Farmers, too, have a vested interest in sustainability as they are stewards of the land. “Best management practices” help growers protect the environment, produce abundant, safe food, and generate profit. “The majority of U.S. soybean farmers are using sustainable practices, but we want to continue to improve our operations,” says Bill Beam, USB farmer-leader and soybean farmer from Elverson, PA. “Programs such as this will help to create credible resources for farmers who are looking to implement more of these practices on their farms.” Increasingly, farmers are turning to professionals to advise them about how to manage their land. Certified Crop Advisers (CCAs) and Certified Professional Agronomists (CPAgs) are trained in the field of agronomy—the study of plants, soils, and their environment. To become certified, CCAs and CPAgs have undergone rigorous training and testing, and must continue with professional development to keep their certification. Additional training will be required for the new Sustainability Specialization Certification. “CCAs are the single best influencers to work with local producers,” says Luther Smith, Director of Certification. “They can help growers adopt more sustainable crop production practices that will satisfy the future demands of the food industry and consumer.” There are currently 13,000 CCA/CPAgs certified by the American Society of Agronomy/ International Certified Crop Adviser program. The partnership between USB, ASA, and ICCA brings together the best minds from the public and private sectors. They will define sustainable crop production, best CCA practices, and develop standards for CCA certification in sustainability. Food companies increasingly want to sustainably produce food and recognize that crop advisors are important influences. “In recent years, the entire agricultural supply chain has been working collaboratively to respond to consumer demands for more sustainable food production,” says Rod Snyder, president of Field to Market: The Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture. “We are proud to partner with the ICCA Program in developing their sustainability curriculum and believe CCAs have a fundamental role to play in helping farmers achieve continuous improvement in productivity and environmental outcomes.” USB is providing financial support to ASA and the ICCA Program as well as recommendations for content expertise. ASA and ICCA will manage the project and provide technical support through their staff and members. For more information about the CCA program, visit https:// www.certifiedcropadviser.org.

Though this year is shaping up to be mild rather than wild, anything can happen. There are still more than two months until April 15, when you can, on average, count on saying goodbye to frost, according to Al Shay, a horticulture professor at Oregon State University. “Certainly a cold snap down to 20 degrees in March will wreak havoc,” he said. “That kind of cold weather could bring an end to new growth, buds, flowers, or even the whole plant.” Watch the forecast, Shay advised. If you see the temperature is going to drop below 20 degrees, he recommends the following: Cover plants you suspect will be damaged with an old sheet, tablecloth, woven row cover or sheet of plastic. Use stakes to prop the material over the plant and weigh down the edges with rocks, bricks or whatever you have on hand. The Willamette Valley is rated Zone 8 on the USDA hardiness scale, which means if you bought plants labeled Zone 8, they’ll be OK down to about 15 degrees. If you don’t know the hardiness of your plants but have lived in the same place for more than a couple of years, think back to which plants limped through winter and concentrate on those. Be sure to remove the material when the temperature rises. Pull potted plants into an unheated garage, basement, greenhouse, cold frame or similar site. Make sure it’s a place where the temperature stays above freezing. If you’ve no place indoors for plants, safeguard them by covering with evergreen boughs, straw or leaves. Securing a piece of bubble wrap or burlap around the pots also helps. Be quick to remove it once the weather warms. Provide mulch for tender perennials—including hardy fuchsias, roses, clematis, salvia, some ferns, canna, agapanthus and dahlias—that are still in the ground. For extra protection on plants you particularly prize, use this trick: Assemble a tomato cage (the square, folding types are best) around it. Wrap burlap around the outside of the cage and secure with bungee cords. Fill with straw or leaves. Shake heavy snow off shrubs and trees to keep branches from breaking or bending. Leave snow at the base of plants, however, because it insulates roots. Remember to water. Even if it’s cold, plants need to be watered if they dry out. Pay special attention to those under eaves or large trees that don’t allow rain through. Stalk slugs, which are already sliming their way through the garden. Trapping or putting out bait now would be the ticket to keep them from taking over. Also, watch for other insects you’ve had trouble with in the past. If you catch them early, it’s possible to use less-toxic controls such as horticultural oils and soaps. Sit tight. Don’t start planting or fertilizing just yet. Use a thermometer to check the soil temperature and wait until it reaches at least 50 degrees before planting cool-weather crops such as peas, greens, radishes, cabbage and broccoli, and 70 degrees for warm-weather plants such as tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and squash.

Drill Project Explores Best Strategy To Help Farmers Local Food Markets From University of Idaho News A University of Idaho research project seeks strategies to help small- to medium-sized farms supply foods to local markets. One of the first efforts of the USDA-funded project will be a survey of restaurant and grocery stores to better understand how consumers’ desire for local foods translates to dollars and cents for farmers and those who buy their products. The National Institute of Food and Agriculture funded the three-year project for $500,000 to support efforts by University of Idaho Extension educators focused on small farms, agricultural economists and other UI researchers. The survey led by Aaron Johnson, a College of Agricultural and Life Sciences economist, will ask grocery store produce department managers and restaurant produce buyers about factors that influence their decisions to buy local produce. “We’re basically trying to figure out how large the market is for local foods,” Johnson said, “and the challenges grocery store and restaurant buyers might face.” The survey focuses on buyers in Idaho, Washington and Oregon. Tomatoes are one of the survey’s test cases, Johnson said, because consumers buy a lot of them and they can be grown commercially in the Northwest. The survey questions probe buyers’ views on the tradeoffs related to the price of produce versus the distance it must travel and its seasonal availability. “Our motivation is that a lot of people have looked at what consumers want when they favor local produce,” Johnson said, “but few if any have looked at how that translates to actions at the retailer or restaurant-producer interactions.” Darin Saul, the college’s grant writer, is the project director. The survey data will help to develop strategies farmers can use. Other goals for the study include evaluating strategies for local and regional food processing and distribution and estimating their economic impact. The study’s interdisciplinary approach also draws on College of Science faculty members Tim Frazier and Ray Dezzani and College of Business and Economics professor Shenghan Xu. UI Extension small farms program educator Cinda Williams and economist Paul Lewin will deliver educational trainings to farmers to help them access local and regional opportunities. The project includes an advisory board of food industry, state, economic development and farmer representatives from Boise, Caldwell, Nampa, Twin Falls and Moscow.

Another Reason To Drink Wine: It Could Help You Burn Fat By Gail Wells, Oregon State University Drinking red grape juice or wine “in moderation” could improve the health of overweight people by helping them burn fat better, according to a new study coauthored by an Oregon State University researcher. The findings suggest that consuming dark-colored grapes, whether eating them or drinking juice or wine, might help people better manage obesity and related metabolic disorders such as fatty liver. Neil Shay, a biochemist and molecular biologist in OSU’s College of Agricultural Sciences, was part of a study team that exposed human liver and fat cells grown in the lab to extracts of four natural chemicals found in Muscadine grapes, a dark-red variety native to the southeastern United States. One of the chemicals, ellagic acid, proved particularly potent: It dramatically slowed the growth of existing fat cells and formation of new ones, and it boosted metabolism of fatty acids in liver cells. These plant chemicals are not a weight-loss miracle, cautions Shay. “We didn’t find, and we didn’t expect to, that these compounds would improve body weight,” he said. But by boosting the burning of fat, especially in the liver, they may improve liver function in overweight people. “If we could develop a dietary strategy for reducing the harmful accumulation of fat in the liver, using common foods like grapes,” Shay said, “that would be good news.” The study, which Shay conducted with colleagues at the University of Florida and University of Nebraska, complements work with mice he leads at his OSU laboratory. In one 2013 trial, he and his graduate students supplemented the diets of overweight mice with extracts from Pinot noir grapes harvested from Corvallis-area vineyards. Some of the mice were fed a normal diet of “mouse chow,” as Shay calls it, containing 10 percent fat. The rest were fed a diet of 60 percent fat, the sort of unhealthy diet that would pile excess pounds on a human frame. “Our mice like that high-fat diet,” said Shay, “and they over consume it. So they’re a good model for the sedentary person who eats too much snack food and doesn’t get enough exercise.” The grape extracts, scaled down to a mouse’s nutritional needs, were about the equivalent of one and a half cups of grapes a day for a person. “The portions are reasonable,” said Shay, “which makes our results more applicable to the human diet.” Over a 10-week trial, the high-fat-fed mice developed fatty liver and diabetic symptoms, “the same metabolic consequences we see in many overweight, sedentary people,” Shay said. But the chubby mice that got the extracts accumulated less fat in their livers, and they had lower blood sugar, than those that consumed the high-fat diet alone. Ellagic acid proved to be a powerhouse in this experiment, too, lowering the high-fat-fed mice’s blood sugar to nearly the levels of the lean, normally fed mice. When Shay and his colleagues analyzed the tissues of the continued on page B9 March 2015, “The Growers’ Guide” Page B9 Wine continued from page B8 fat mice that ate the supplements, they noted higher activity levels of PPAR-alpha and PPAR-gamma, two proteins that work within cells to metabolize fat and sugar. Shay hypothesizes that the ellagic acid and other chemicals bind to these PPAR-alpha and PPAR-gamma nuclear hormone receptors, causing them to switch on the genes that trigger the metabolism of dietary fat and glucose. Commonly prescribed drugs for lowering blood sugar and triglycerides act in this way, Shay said. The goal of his work, he added, is not to replace needed medications but to guide people in choosing common, widely available foods that have particular health benefits, including boosting metabolic function. “We are trying to validate the specific contributions of certain foods for health benefits,” he said. “If you’re out food shopping, and if you know a certain kind of fruit is good for a health condition you have, wouldn’t you want to buy that fruit?” The research was supported by the Institute of Food and Agricultural Science at the University of Florida and Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The study appeared in the January issue of the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry. Shay’s research with mice was supported by the Blue Mountain Horticultural Society, the Erath Family Foundation, and the OSU College of Agricultural Sciences.

USGC Corn Harvest Quality Report A Hit With Mexican Buyers From U.S. Grains Council Given the integration of the North American markets, buyers in Mexico are among the most responsive customers to shifts in U.S. markets. Timely and accurate information is valuable to sophisticated buyers, and the U.S. Grains Council’s (USGC’s) annual Corn Harvest Quality Report and Corn Export Cargo Quality Report have found eager audiences in the Mexican feed and livestock industries. “The Council’s dual corn quality reports are scoring points with Mexican buyers,” said Julio Hernandez, the Council’s director in Mexico. “We also appreciate two of our delegates, Jim Steuver and Bill Christ, for providing a U.S. farmers’ perspective, which is of great interest to our partners in Mexico.” Hernandez was reporting on a recent country-wide swing in which he presented the 2014/2015 Corn Harvest Quality Report to audiences in four cities. The report shows that the record 2014 U.S. crop is of high quality with only minor variations on the standardized test parameters, consistent with anticipated weather-induced effects, meaning excellent quality and no surprises. The presentation team also included Javier Chavez, USGC marketing specialist in Mexico. While the immediate topic was the recently released harvest quality report, Chavez noted that buyers were already looking ahead to the companion /Corn Export Cargo Quality Report/, which will become available this spring. “The harvest quality report is followed by the export cargo quality report, which is even more valuable to international buyers,” Chavez said. “That won’t be available for another few weeks, but our contacts are already asking questions. This shows how much they have come to rely on the Council for timely information.” A consistent concern voiced by Mexican buyers is the possibility for mycotoxins, but buyers also pressed for information about planting intentions and price expectations for next year. Mexico is the largest export market for U.S. corn this marketing year with accumulated exports and outstanding sales totaling 8.3 million metric tons (327 million bushels) as of Feb. 19. As the top buyer, the Mexican feed industry tracks U.S. supply, demand and pricing very carefully. The first editions of the Council’s Corn Harvest Quality and Corn Export Cargo Quality Reports debuted following the 2011 harvest.

For the last 10 years, WSU Extension has maintained an email listserv for organic grain growers which serves, in part, to connect buyers and sellers of organic grain. Recently, we added a searchable, electronic bulletin board for this purpose at smallgrains.wsu.edu/organic-grain-salesbulletin-board/. If you wish to receive information about organic production and market opportunities, email Diana Roberts at [email protected]. Markets for organic grain tend to fluctuate with the economy. At this time, it appears demand for organic grain is growing faster than the supply. Last year, we interviewed a dozen organic growers across the Inland Northwest regarding their production operations, which we will publish as an Extension case study bulletin. Apart from one canola grower who professed that marketing was not his strength, the farmers we interviewed reported being able to sell all their crops without meeting the demand. Currently, our organic bulletin board has postings from buyers wanting large quantities of mustard, wheat, barley, corn, and pulse crops from as far afield as Oregon, South Carolina, Connecticut, and Ontario (Canada). While we cannot guarantee the stability or price premiums of these markets, there appears to be ample opportunity for growers interested in organic production. What is the consumer demand for organic grains? A look at the USDAAmber Waves pages showed that sales for organic bread and grains more than doubled over the last 10 years. While the organic market is still dominated by fruits and vegetables, the volume of sales of other types of products is considerable. Looking at package/prepared foods, breads and grains, snack foods and condiments (probably the most relevant markets to Inland Northwest grain growers), it’s interesting to note that although the share of each category in total organic food sales is not huge (we’re talking 10.6 percent for package foods, 9.1 percent for breads and grains, and 5 percent of total organic food sales for snacks and condiments), the dollar value for each of these categories is still growing steadily. Organic bread and grains sales amounted to $1.4 billion in 2005 and $3.2 billion in 2014. The same thing happened with condiments, since we’re talking about mustard; $341 million in 2005, $1.1 billion in 2014. It almost tripled in 10 years. • Albion • Cashup • CFTA at Port of Central Ferry • Chambers • Colfax • Colton • Ewartsville • Fallon • Genesee • Glenwood • Johnson • LCT at Port of Lewiston • Manning • Mockonema • Pullman • Snake River Terminal at Port of Almota • Steptoe • Thornton BUY QUALITY SEED!!

Men are less affected by a single-symptom illness than women, but are more affected when more than one symptom is present. The number of symptoms doesn’t change how women are affected, according to Robert Rosenman, WSU professor in the Department of Economic Sciences. Rosenman worked with Dusanee Kesavayuth and Vasileios Zikos, both at UTCC in Bangkok, Thailand, on the study. “Women are more impacted by illness than men, unless more than one symptom is present,” said Rosenman. “Then men are more impacted than women. And perhaps more importantly, personality affects how women handle becoming sick, while men of all types react the same.” The research is based on data collected in the British Household Panel Survey, a national longitudinal data set from the United Kingdom. Longitudinal data tracks the same people at several points in time asking the same questions. The panel included 2,859 people: 1,471 men and 1,388 women. Two types of women resist mental illness The survey asked people about their happiness and satisfaction with aspects of their life. It also asked about their physical and mental health and about their personalities, among other things. Rosenman and his colleagues analyzed the data to see how personality and gender affected the way people coped with becoming ill. The researchers found that women with one of two distinct personality types are less affected by mental illness than all other personality types. The first personality type, high levels of agreeableness, experience high quality relationships in their lives. The second type, women with low levels of conscientiousness, have little need for achievement, order or persistence. Rosenman said women with high agreeableness likely have better social networks and therefore more support for coping with mental illness. Women with low levels of conscientiousness are more apt to feel out of control on a daily basis, so they likely don’t see any impact from a mental illness, he said. “They didn’t feel in control to begin with,” he said. “So they aren’t affected the way other women are.” The study finds no correlation between personality type and the impact of a mental illness in men. Economics of happiness Rosenman and his colleagues primarily focused on one question in the British survey: How satisfied are you with your health? Then they broke that down based on other questions about gender and personality type. The study is part of the growing field on the economics of happiness. “Many people think economics only has to do with money,” Rosenman said. “But it’s much more than that. We’re starting to look at what makes people happy and how that affects different aspects of their lives.” The paper was published in the February 2015 issue of the Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics, found here: Dusanee Kesavayuth, Robert E.

CALL CLASS 8 TRUCKS Spokane, WA (509) 534-9088 Prairie Fare: Food Preparation Evolves As The Family Nest Empties By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist,NDSU Extension Service “Mom, what college-credit class should I take next fall?” my 16-year-old daughter asked. I gulped. College? Already? My neighbor was surprised, too. “Are you going to be a senior in high school?” she asked my daughter. My daughter nodded, and I started feeling very sentimental. My brain did a “flash forward.” Before long, we will be wandering around a family-sized nest with only one “chick” left. Our youngest daughter is 11. Although the first “bird” flew out of the nest a couple of years ago to go to college in our city, he winged his way home and set up his own nest in our basement after a year in the dorm. Our home cooking and accommodations are a bit better and less expensive than a shoebox-sized dorm room. I don’t think I will be the mother bird booting the chicks out of their nest to soar on their own. I hope not, anyway. I snapped out of my sentimental journey quickly because technically, everyone still is inhabiting the Robinson nest. Eventually, my husband and I will be empty nesters and that will change a lot of things, including our food preparation. From 1970 to 2012, many changes in household size and makeup have occurred. The average size of households decreased from 3.1 to 2.6 between 1970 and 2012, according to U.S. Census Bureau statistics. In 1970, 40.3 percent of households consisted of married couples with children, compared with 19.6 percent in 2012. The number of men living alone has jumped markedly in the last 45 years. In 1970, 5.6 percent of households were made up of men living alone and 14 percent of households were made up of women living alone. In 2012, 12.3 percent of households were made up of men living solo, and 15.2 percent of households consisted of women living alone. Sometimes, when children move away, the incentive to cook leaves along with the family members. Cooking may not seem like it is worth the effort, so some people might skip meals or graze throughout the day instead of having a balanced, enjoyable diet. Regardless of the number of people in your home, consider taking steps to having healthful food options available for you and any others in your home. Maintaining a healthful diet is worth your time and can be easier than you think. Have some fun with it. Maybe your children refused to have liver and brussels sprouts, so you deleted those from your menus. Now is your chance to enjoy the food that you like. What if all of your recipes are familysized? Try these tips to help reduce your recipes to smaller amounts: Choose recipes that are easy to divide mathematically, or make the full recipe and freeze the rest. If a recipe calls for a can of beans or soup and you would like to divide the recipe in half, use what you need and refrigerate or freeze the remaining food. Label the container with the contents and date. Add seasonings gradually. Sometimes you may need to add more (or less) of the spice to reach the desired flavor. Use a smaller pan for your reduced-sized recipes. Check for doneness of halved recipes five to 10 minutes sooner than the original recipe. Keep notes about what works and what doesn’t. You might find that shopping the salad bar at the grocery store is a good way to avoid wasted produce. Perhaps you need a small amount of onion or pepper in a recipe, so buying some precut onions and peppers might help you avoid waste. What if you don’t like leftovers? You could trade extra portions of meals with a friend and freeze for later. Or consider leftovers as “planned-overs” and try them in completely different recipes. Try adding leftover fruit to muffin, quickbread or pancake batter or blending leftover fruit with yogurt to make a dessert. If you bought a precooked chicken at the deli, use the rest in soup, sandwiches and salads. For people 60 and older, congregate meals or meals on wheels are good options to maintain a balanced diet. Check out your local resources to learn more. For more tips, see “Cooking for One or Two” (available at http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/ pubs/yf/foods/fn521.pdf). If you are in the growing family stage, check out the resources on the “Eat Smart. Play Hard.” website at http://www.ndsu.edu/eatsmart.

As of 2011, WA had about 6,500 acres of certified organic wheat—not even 0.02 percent of the total US certified organic wheat acreage. Idaho had over 10, 000 acres and Oregon less than 5, 000 (National Ag Statistics Service data). In contrast, Montana had 66,000 acres of organic grain. A review of organic production trends in Washington State by Kirby and Granatstein http://www.tfrec.wsu. edu/pdfs/P2766.pdf, indicated that in 2012, indicated that in 2012 Washington had 9,867 acres of certified grains and pulses. The category included oilseeds, but no oilseeds were grown. Another USDA article reviews market trends in the organic industry. Growth of total US organic sales is estimated to be close to the double digits for 2014. Total certified crop acreage is growing also.

This is the second year of a partnership between the U.S. Forest Service and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to help improve the health and resiliency of forest ecosystems where public and private lands meet. Joined by partners at an event in Idaho, Under Secretary for Natural Resources and Environment Robert Bonnie unveiled the 15 Chiefs’ Joint Landscape Restoration Partnership projects for 2015. Located across the country from Washington to Vermont and Arizona to Ohio, NRCS and Forest Service will invest $10 million in new projects to improve conditions on public and private lands. One new project is in the Upper North Fork region near Gibbonsville, Idaho designed to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire to communities along a portion of the Highway 93 corridor. “By leveraging the technical and financial resources of both agencies, this coordinated effort is helping to restore lands across large landscapes regardless of whether they are on public or private lands,” Bonnie said. “Our successes from the 2014 projects demonstrate that these partnerships make a difference on the ground and we are grateful for the cooperation of several partners.” Bonnie noted that in some cases these new projects build on last year’s efforts. The partnership made investments in 2014 that will result in conservation improvements to over 266,000 acres. NRCS and Forest Service will provide an additional $27 million to continue work on 2014 projects. In addition to NRCS and Forest Service investments, partners are contributing more than $5 million in the 2015 projects over three years in financial, technical and in-kind services. These 15 new projects, coupled with the 13 announced last year, will help mitigate wildfire threats to communities and landowners, protect water quality and supply, and improve wildlife habitat for at-risk species in high priority landscapes across the US. For example, USDA support in 2014 enabled Tim Fisher of the Oregon East Face of the Elkhorn Mountains Partnership, to open up the tree canopy on 232 acres of private land which will reduce the risk for wildfire, help with soil erosion, and allow the trees to grow taller and stronger making them more marketable. “Our agencies are being proactive to make sure conservation work flows seamlessly from private to public lands, ensuring crucial wildfire and water concerns are addressed and allowing people, like Fisher, to preserve their family lands,” NRCS Chief Jason Weller said. “Strategic investments across landscapes help create resilient forests, grasslands and watersheds while sustaining communities,” said Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell. “Treating lands to reduce wildfire threats is a smart investment that will protect vast areas of land and potentially save of millions of taxpayer dollars.” 2015 Projects include: Idaho—Upper North Fork Project: Idaho’s Upper North Fork is a great example of a project that provides a big benefit for a small investment. Fires often spread from private property onto public lands where they are difficult to control and become wildfires. The fix is to stop fires at the point where they start, before they have a chance to spread. However, many private landowners do not have the technical knowledge or funds to treat hazardous fuels on their property. This project targets private lands where fires have a high probability of starting and adjacent National Forest lands where they will initially spread. Treating fuels in these areas is relatively inexpensive and protects a vast area of public land. Implementing this simple solution would be unlikely without coordination among the partners. Hawaii—Koolau Forest Protection: The Koolau Mountain forests supply groundwater for the Pearl Harbor Aquifer, used by over 40% of the population of the State of Hawaii. Unfortunately, groundwater levels in the aquifer have declined by half since 1910. Protecting the aquifer from further decline is vital for Hawaii’s sustainability and economy. The Koolau Mountains also has one of the highest densities of rare and endangered species in the world including the beloved ‘elepaio bird, the Hawaiian hoary bat, tree snails, insects and plant, many of which exist nowhere else. By removing invasive species and fencing out feral pigs, this project will help protect water quality and supply for communities and agriculture and improve habitat quality for at-risk species while allowing native Hawaiians to use the forest for their traditional customs. South Carolina—Indian Creek Woodland Savanna Restoration Initiative: In 2004, the Indian Creek Woodland Savanna Restoration Initiative restored woodland savanna habitat on 8,300 acres of the Sumter National Forest as well as 7,700 acres of private land. Funding from this year’s announcement will help accelerate woodland savanna restoration, reduce wildfire risk and enhance water quality on 21,000 acres of public land and 19,000 acres of private land. The restoration will also provide crucial habitat for important and declining grassland birds, including Northern Bobwhite, Loggerhead Shrike, Prairie Warbler and Bachman’s Sparrow. Moving?

March 2015, “The Growers’ Guide” Page B17 A Tree Fruit Website That Would Make Willy Wonka Proud By Joshua Paulsen, from WSU’s “On Solid Ground” Washington State University’s new tree fruit website, launching in March 2015, will be instrumental in communicating information to growers. I peered over the guardrail in one of Stemilt’s processing facilities. Stemilt, a packing house headquartered in Wenatchee, Washington, is, as their website points out, “world famous” for delivering remarkably delicious tree fruit throughout the world. “What is that?” I asked, referring to the large, noisy mechanical machine into which the Rainier cherries were being whisked. “Oh, that’s a camera,” my escort explained. Thousands of pictures were being taken every minute, multiple photos of each small fruit, to assess the qualities of millions of cherries headed to customers that afternoon. The truly “smart” feature of this camera allowed automated routing of each cherry to one of roughly a dozen conveyor belts, each carrying a different size or grade of cherry. My perception of the tree fruit industry was rocked by my Willy-Wonka-like tour. The endless fields of fruit trees I saw on my way to Stemilt led me to imagine a romantic, old-world industry, but behind closed doors was a sophisticated, ultramodern operation. Delivering the answers My trip to Wenatchee, where I toured facilities and talked with growers about industry needs, was part of a discovery mission for a new, comprehensive website to support growing, distributing and consuming “world famous” cherries, apples, pears, and other types of stone fruit in Washington. The CAHNRS Communications web development team is working with WSU Extension leader and globally recognized horticulturist Desmond Layne to construct a new, comprehensive tree fruit website—the “world’s best” tree fruit website, as Dr. Layne characterized it. What I didn’t know was that the camera that left me speechless was established technology, and there were new technologies, some mechanical and others biological, on the horizon. The Washington State Tree Fruit Commission had pledged $32 million to bolster WSU’s tree fruit research program. In addition to increasing research, part of those funds were to be used for technology transfer, and our tree fruit website was going to be instrumental in communicating information to growers. With such amazing technologies proliferated throughout the industry, it’s fair to question the significance of a website to that industry. But as we learned, WSU researchers and extension specialists, and even third party websites, had mountains of important data to share with growers, and it was spread across the Internet like the apple orchards throughout central Washington. Furthermore, Dr. Layne had a reputation for making useful and compelling videos for growers and consumers alike, and this new website made for the ideal stage to present his work. My visit to Stemilt was months ago, and now we are pleased to announce that this March WSU will launch treefruit.wsu. edu, the world’s best, most comprehensive website for tree fruit growers. Not only does the website catalog the thousands of online tree fruit resources and showcase videos by WSU scientists and researchers, it guides both the inexperienced and seasoned grower to produce world-famous fruit. The website features a robust search engine, topic-based articles, and is optimized for use on a mobile phone. In my mind, it still isn’t as cool as the cherry camera, or Willy Wonka’s chocolate river, but it is a great leap forward to supporting an industry that provides delicious and nutritious food for millions of people throughout the world.

Of the 10 feed millers the Council is working with, half were not using soy in their feed rations in spring 2014. Of these five, two are now using soy in their rations, and three more are doing feeding trials to assess soy in their production. In addition, the Council has worked with two feed millers using soy and fish meal mixtures to increase their soy inclusion rate.

By Scott Weybright, WSU-CAHNRS “Voice of the Vine” Fizzy bubbles are the big draw for those who love sparkling wine, but can they tell the difference between varying carbonation levels? And do they have preferences as to how much carbonation should be in their wine? That’s what Washington State University School of Food Science graduate student Kenny McMahon is looking at as part of his Ph.D. dissertation with advisor Carolyn Ross. Findings from his first study “showed that consumers like the lower carbonation levels but have a greater preference for the higher carbonated wines,” said McMahon, who presented his data at the Washington Association of Wine Grape Growers annual conference last week. A second study is being conducted. Detection and preference For the first study, he convened two panels, one with trained wine tasters and one with typical wine consumers. McMahon made his own sparkling wines—with differing carbonation levels—in a commercial Washington winery. The carbonation range was 0-7.5 grams of carbon dioxide per liter. The trained panel was studied regarding attributes related to carbonation. Panelists were asked to consider the perception of bite/burn, carbonation/bubble-pain, foaminess, numbing, prickly/pressure and tingliness, as well as various aromas, flavors and basic tastes. McMahon said the trained panel started to pick up those various attributes at lower carbonation levels than the typical consumers, but most participants noted the carbonation by about 2 grams per liter. The consumer panel was studied to see if participants noticed the differing levels of carbonation and what amount they preferred. McMahon also asked both panels to think about the carbonation in each sip and how it impacted the sensation in their mouths. “We were looking to see at what point people noticed the carbonation-related attributes and what wine they liked the most,” he said. Various grapes, carbonation levels Sparkling wine is any wine containing carbonation, which gives rise to bubbles. The wine can be made using a variety of grapes, such as chardonnay or pinot noir. Some sparkling wines, such as Portugal’s vinho verde, benefit from lower carbonation levels, but there haven’t been many studies on the subject. Traditional producers keep a steady 9-11 grams per liter because that’s the way champagne was originally made. A proportion of U.S. producers of sparkling wine follow that tradition. But only wine made in the Champagne region of France can be labeled with the term “champagne.” Salm Tony Capdeboscq U.S.C.G.
