Coffee farmers in Vietnam, the world’s second-largest grower after Brazil, have resumed harvesting in the country’s largest growing region after rains cleared, according to traders and local government officials.

A grand opening to a new tradition in LedyardThe day was gloomy and chilly but it didn't dim the enthusiasm for the opening of the Ledyard Farmers Market which made its debut Friday.

I believe in guerrilla marketing.I believe that since our lives are increasingly targeted by advertisements and solicitations to get people's attention, you need a new angle.

This fight is still being fought but already many farmers have lost their ability to sell locally, mostly because the new BC meat inspection rules have resulted in greatly-increased costs and deterioration of the quality of meat processed.

An organic label does mean something -- for spinach, as an example, it means that synthetic pesticides and fertilizers weren't used in its production.

Two old farmers had hauled a truck load of squirming hogs eighty miles from their west Kansas farm to the nearest market.

I've watched with a bemused detachment as the myth that Spammers and Credit Farmers are destroying Entrecard crops up here and there in the community. There's no denying that it's irritating to arrive on an Entrecarder's site that is just one big ad or is clearly a "made ya look" site. What's boggles my mind is why some folks keep harping on Credit Farmers with such vigor, even after the Entrecard security system closed down the ability for bots to hunt and drop, and limitations were put into place that restricted the number of drops that were allowable per IP address. I've asked the question in the Forums and I'll ask it again here: Where's the proof that Credit Farmers are a threat to Entrecard?

The price of rice jumped from US$393.5 a tonne last January to an unprecedented $561.8 last month. The previous all-time-high was $535 a tonne in June 1981.

Facing sky-high crop prices, some in the organic livestock business are beginning to look for organic grain growers willing to sign long-term contracts to supply feed. This kind of vertical integration, which is common in the conventional meat industry, runs counter to the independent spirit of many organic farmers. But tight supplies and the soaring cost of organic corn and soybeans may force changes.
Organic products are one of the fastest-growing segments of the food industry. Sales of organic food totaled almost $17 billion in 2006, and production of the grain and soybeans needed for organic livestock has failed to keep up with the demand for milk and meat.
Soybeans in particular are in extremely short supply. Organic soybeans were selling for more than $25 a bushel on average in the u

The Colorado gold rushes filled many with hopes of wealth and encouraged them to go to great lengths to pan for rare gold nuggets. Today, living in a state where most think vegetables and fruits come from a major grocery store, I feel like the dedicated gold seeker as I look for fresh, locally grown early spring produce.The longer spring days are urging my body to find local produce that still has its water and nutrient content in abundance. Because our climate is not like California or Florida, most of us have to wait until June or July to shop our local markets. At least that is what I used to think but Santa Fe has a winter farmer's market. I haven't been yet, but I am curious to see what is available there. Maybe Coloradan's just aren’t that committed to local produce.Thankful a few
Crystal Davis Earth Trends - 2008-02-28 Original URL The warmest winter ever recorded in Finland may boost the country's agricultural production by lengthening the growing season, demonstrating some of the early impacts of global climate change. Finland's southern regions experienced average temperatures above freezing point this year and had snow cover for only 20 days, far below the typical 70. Although global warming appears to favor agriculture in this Nordic country, world agriculture as a whole is predicted to suffer as global temperatures rise. The greatest production losses are expected in developing countries due to natural vulnerability and limited capacity to adapt, threatening already food-insecure regions. Change in Agriculture Output Potential Due to Cli
