Soil Cation Ratios For Crop Production north dakota extension Communications Box 5655 Morrill Hall north dakota StateUniversity coop. ext. Pub. Distribution Rm. 245 30 N. Murray St. http://www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/cropsystems/DC6437.html
Extractions: For many years, soil testing has been used as a management tool to arrive at fertilizer recommendations that are essential for economic crop production. Two general concepts or philosophies of making fertilizer recommendations evolved as the use of soil testing techniques and procedures were refined and used more and more as a basis for making fertilizer recommendations. The "sufficiency level" approach is built on the concept that there are certain levels of plant nutrients in soil that can be defined as optimum. Below some defined level, crops will respond to the application of a nutrient in question. Likewise, crops will not respond to the addition of the nutrient if the soil test levels are above a defined sufficient level. The "basic cation saturation ratio" (BCSR) approach promotes the concept that maximum yields can only be achieved by creating an ideal ratio of calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and potassium (K) in the soil system. This approach is not concerned with recommendations for nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), and the micronutrients. Today, most public and private soil testing laboratories responsible for making fertilizer recommendations use the "sufficiency level" approach. Others adjust recommendations generated from the "sufficiency level" approach with a consideration for the "basic cation saturation ratios." A more detailed discussion of the BCSR and "sufficiency level" approaches to fertilizer recommendations is provided by Eckert (1987). Recommendations based on the "basic cation saturation ratio" concept are usually quite different from those based on the "sufficiency level" concept. This confuses the grower as well as those who advise the grower. Therefore, this publication addresses the history of the "basic cation saturation ratio" concept and examines its importance and relevancy for crop production. It is not written for the purpose of comparing fertilizer recommendations resulting from the use of either concept.

FDA Considers Changes In Labeling Of Allergenic Ingredients 1996; the Food Allergy Networkas reported in the north dakota State UniversityCoop. ext. service Food Nutrition Newsletter, January, 1997. http://www.colostate.edu/Orgs/safefood/NEWSLTR/v1n3s03.html
Extractions: Go to Table of Contents for this issue Less than 2 percent of adults actually have a food allergy. Eight foods are responsible for 90 percent of allergic reactions. These are peanuts, milk, eggs, wheat, soy, tree nuts (e.g. almonds, walnuts, pecans), fish, and shellfish. Food companies are becoming more aware of food allergy issues due to the number of recalls and consumer complaints received. According to FDA statistics, 70 food product recalls occurred in 1995 compared with 22 recalls in 1994. Consumers have reported adverse reactions to foods that do not state all ingredients on the label. For instance, ginger snap cookies, chocolate chip cookies and ready-to-eat bran cereal were recalled between April and October 1996, because they contained "undeclared peanuts" due to processing the baked goods on a manufacturing line that previously contained a peanut- containing food product. "Incidental ingredients"those present at an insignificant level of a food productare currently exempted from being listed on the food label. One section of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act allows food manufacturers to list spices, flavoring, and colorings collectively, without naming each one. Some manufacturers have misinterpreted the exemption of "incidental food additives" from food labels and have not listed potential allergens.

Extractions: Not Your Fathers Extension Service By Myron Just and Tracy Sayler There is a changing role in less direct contact with the farmer, but an increased role in providing unbiased research information, providing diagnostic services, area specialists, and information through the Internet. After growing up on a farm and finishing college in the New England area, Seaman Knapp and his wife Maria moved to Iowa in 1865 to raise Merino sheep which perished in the first winter storm. Armed with an undaunted spirit and an insatiable thirst for learning, the prairie pioneer later took up hog farming, employing new techniques he studied. He became successful, and began writing articles and giving speeches to other frontier farmers, not wanting them to go through the trial and error type of learning as he did with his frozen sheep and start-from-scratch pig farm. Knapp later headed one of the nations first land-grant colleges in Ames, then went on to educate farmers in the far Southern Plains to successfully grow upland rice and corn, and to control boll weevil in cotton. Skilled at utilizing resources and working with government, Knapp in the early 1900s organized a movement to send trained agents to help educate farmers, the precursor of county extension agents, and to organize corn clubs for boys and canning and poultry clubs for girls the beginnings of todays 4-H clubs.

Extractions: Funded-project results Printer-friendly version Next article 2004 index More reports Summaries of research projects are online . Funded projects (below) are linked to the summaries. Two years of budget cuts to UC IPM, totaling almost $500,000, have drastically reduced the amount of funds available for new research grants. However, UC IPM officials have released a request for proposals for new projects for 2005-06. In 2004-05, continuing projects exhausted most of the available funds, but the program was able to fund one year of four of the projects that had been approved, but not funded, for 2003-04. Mike Rust , Entomology, UC Riverside, stepped down as Associate Director for Research in 2003. This position has not been refilled, and for now will continue to be vacant since the UC IPM grants program has been significantly reduced. If the grants program can be rebuilt, an associate director for research will be appointed.

Cooperative Observer Tasks - NWS, Grand Forks, ND The Cooperative Weather Observer. The National Weather service (NWS) has beentasked with the National Weather service Eastern north dakota/Grand Forks http://www.crh.noaa.gov/fgf/coop/coopobserver.shtml
Extractions: Webmaster The Cooperative Weather Observer The National Weather Service (NWS) has been tasked with the issuance of severe weather watches and warnings designed to protect life and property. To this end, the collection of timely and accurate surface weather data is vital. In addition to the protection of life and property, the Department of Commerces' National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (of which the NWS is a part) has been given the job of maintaining a database of climatic weather information. This too is used by the NWS in preparing medium and long range forecasts. These two jobs have the Cooperative Observer Program - Co-Op Program in short - in common. The Co-Op Program is the backbone of the United States Climatological database. Co-Op observers frequently act as both observers and severe storm spotters, phoning in reports of hazardous weather in the winter and summer.
