SEEN FROM THE AIR, the land of Illinois reveals graphically the agricultural importance of the State. Carved by intensive cultivation into an intricate mosaic of squares and rectangles, the level prairie resembles nothing so much as a vast stretch of modernistic linoleum. In the grainfields no land is wasted; pasture adjoins field, farm fits snugly against farm, and between them is nothing but the

Agriculture is a fundamental pillar of the weak Palestinian economy. Despite the enormous imports, the sector is partly self-sufficient and even outstanding in some areas of production, such as olive oil and flowers. Most of the production outputs are sold in Europe, in the Gulf's Arabic countries and in neighbouring Israel, where restrictions in some cases have seriously damaged the Palestinian agriculture by preventing it from becoming internationally competitive.Due to the considerable amount of land fit for cultivation in this fragmented and rather narrow territory (the entire West Bank area is around 5,800 square kilometers, with a 65 km maximum width and 130 km length), agriculture in Palestine has become one of the main pillars of the local economy. The key role played by these sect

One of the sectors that is making waves in 2008 is the Agricultural Commodities. Emerging markets are booming and so are their consumption. With growth comes a change in lifestyle, diet being an important part of it. The rising middle-class in these emerging markets especially China and India are now calling for both higher quantities and a better quality of food. With industrialization and urban sprawl taking over, Chinese and Indian farmers are continually asked to produce more crops from shrinking amounts of land. They also have fewer farm workers as many have left villages to seek their fortune in more established cities. If you add environmental pressures to the mix, you've got an agricultural situation that's even more challenging.It's estimated that one out of every three dollars ea

A cocky Department of Agriculture representative stopped at a farm and talked with the old farmer;"I need to inspect your farm."The old farmer said: "OK, but you better not go in that field."In a wise-arse tone the Ag. Representative said, "I have the authority of the U. S. Government with me. See this card..?"He stuck a plastic-coated card in the farmer's face."This card says I can go wherever I want to on agricultural land."The old farmer shrugged and went about his farm chores. Later, he heard loud screams and saw the Department of Agriculture rep running for the fence.Close behind was the farmer's prize bull, Geronimo.Geronimo was madder than a nest full of hornets and he was gaining on the Ag Rep with every angry snort.The farmer shouted, "Show him your card !"

Pune, The district collector of Ahmednagar, Umakant Dangat, Wednesday ordered an enquiry into the reported purchase of agricultural land by Bollywood actress Rani Mukerji. Dangat told IANS: “Rani Mukerji’s father had come here a few days ago to have the land registered in their names but the land was already allotted for farming purposes.” The district’s sub divisional officer has sent an enquiry notice to Rani with respect to the land, which she had allegedly purchased from an agent named Sampat More in village Nimba Korchali, about 400 km from Mumbai. Dangat said the size of the land is 11 guntas (one fourth of an acre). However, the cost of the land hasn’t been determined yet. “They should have enquired before getting into a transaction,” said Dangat. The sub divisional officer will scrutinise the records of the parties involved and pass an order thereafter.

Early this evening, my mom was scheduled to man the Waycross College booth at the Okefenokee Agricultural Fair here in Waycross. (She teaches history at Waycross College, by the way.) I went with her (outfitted in a ridiculously large Waycross College t-shirt) and, in exchange for getting into the fair for free, helped her run the booth. This entailed spending an hour passing out Waycross College brochures, catalogues, bracelets, pens, balloons and t-shirts to those interested. For some reason, the t-shirts only came in size 2XL... although that didn't really seem to be a problem for most.Mom in the Waycross College boothMom and the Waycross College Swamp FoxMe and the Swamp FoxFor some reason, you could practice shooting things at theWildlife Resources Division booth.

A very worrying report from a Fisheries expert far, far away! If they know about it, why don;'t we do something about it?Stuart============================================UAE Environmental & Agricultural Information CentreShark Finning Prepared By:Ahmad A. AL-JanahiThomas CherianMarine Resources Research CentreAbstractSharks were not regarded as an important species among edible species and hence they were not targeted for commercial scale fishing in the past. Quite recently sharks gained importance as a commercial species since their fins and cartilages became commodities high in demand in international markets. Large scale commercial exploitation of this species during recent years led to drastic decline in shark populations globally. Data available on shark fishing and finning are only scanty to arrive at any substantial assessment of this issue. However, available information on shark species recorded from Northwestern Atlantic indicated a decline of more than 50% in shark stock

International prices for soft commodities are known for their volatility, which is an important concern on both a macro and micro scale. Price fluctuations for soft commodities can destabilise real exchange rates and can cause difficulties for the governments of emerging market countries in facilitating the reduction of poverty and preserve a stable economic environment. On a micro scale, we are primarily concerned about the effect of price uncertainty on the operations of producers and traders in commodities. Volatility often leads to inefficiency and impairs the efficient allocation of resources for farmers. The higher and more unpredictable the price volatility of a commodity, the greater the possibility of incurring losses or realising gains on future sales or purchases of that commodity. Moreover, the uncertainty reduces the opportunities to access credit markets and can drive farmers and producers to utilise low risk production techniques and technologies, lowering incomes and no

Join Green Thumb Sunday Both Mr Lifecruiser and I have some agricultural bloodlines, maybe that’s why we feel so natural with each other and in the nature? *lol* My bloodlines is a bit more difficult to track than Mr Lifecruisers, so I choose to tell you about his for the moment. Mr Lifecruisers grandfathers grandfather, Alexander Müller, born at Wellershof in Ober-Pfalz in 1828 (d 1906), once upon a time came here from Leipzig, Germany, to work as a agricultural chemist, helping the Swedish farmers to learn more about agriculture and played a roll in the Swedish agricultural development. He was a doctor of Philosophy in Leipzig and later became a teacher at the technical and agricultural school in Chemnitz and manager for the agricultural experimental station there. He married Clara Theresia Kurtzvelly (Germany) and they got their first son in 1855, Konrad Alexander Müller-Kurzvelly, which later were living in a villa in Berlin and became a known painter of landscape scen

WINTER IN THE TROPICSIt is steaming hot with temperatures reaching 27 C and humidity 85%. There is hardly any breeze and the unelaborated sweat glues your shirt to your body. Walking through a forest when the sun is high is exhausting and sticky. That is what winter is like at sea-level in Malaysia.But technology has changed all that. Hidden snugly among the trees of the Bukit Cahaya Seri Alam rainforest is a spot of creativity and innovation where technology coaxes nature to misplace itself. For here it is real winter with snow, icicles and temperature below -5 C.

Trip to Malaysia Agricultural Park, Bukit Cahaya, Shah Alam, Selangor, MalaysiaDate : 28 Januari 2007 THE FUTUREThis Park will not escape the natural changes wrought by time and the development designed by man. The planners of the Agriculture Park, however, want to direct the changes that will be complementary and not contradictory to nature.The forested areas of the Park will be allowed to mature undisturbed, consequently towering trees with large girth and solid branches will dominate the forest. Standing more than 150 feet above the ground and supported by massive buttress roots, the majestic dipterocarps will crowd the forest where once only small trees reigned. The secondary forest of Bukit Cahaya Seri Alam will mature and stabilize into a "primary" forest.Malaysia Agriculture Park is one and the only park in the world with agro forestry concept. It covers an area of 1,258 hectares and is divided into demonstration plots for agriculture activities.

IntroductionThe Malaysia Agriculture Park is the first and so far the only agro-forestry park in the world. Initiated by the Agriculture Ministry in 1986, the Park displays the various agricultural forms and modes used in the country againts a splendid backdrop of virgin jungle. The main objective of the 1,295 hectare park is to serve as a permanent exhibition centre for the development and progress of agriculture in the country. It also aims to act as a referral and research centre for the various fields of agriculture such as farming, animal husbandry and fish rearing. Ultimately, it is hoped that the Park would provide the inspiration and the impetus for the growth and development of the country's agricultural sector.Its beauty and uniqueness have prompted the Ministry to open up the Park to the general public so that they too may savor the splendor and the wealth of the nation's agricultural heritage. The response to the move has been so encouraging that the Park no longer confin
