Organic and Sustainable Agriculture News

A new use for hay
Kennebec Journal - 1/30/2012.

By Mechele Cooper – Vassolboro: Peter Bragdon proudly showed off his prototype "hay log" at the kitchen table. Bragdon, who has been haying for 30 years on his 170-acre farm, said his hay log – a solid fuel that can be burned in place of wood in furnaces, stoves, fire pits, chimeras and camp fires – is good news for farmers.

UN panel aims for a ‘future worth choosing’
BBC News - 1/30/2012.

By Richard Black – Growing inequality, environmental decline and "teetering" economies mean the world must change the way it does business, a UN report concludes. Health and education must improve, it says. Subsidies on fossil fuels should end, and governments must look beyond the standard economic indicator of GDP.

More damning evidence points to pesticide as cause of mass bee deaths
Common Dreams - 1/30/2012.

A new study published in Naturwissenschaften - The Science of Nature by a leading bee expert provides damning evidence that a widely used pesticide, even at low levels, is responsible for the recent catastrophic decline in honey bees. Dr. Jeff Pettis of the USDA's Bee Research Laboratory in Beltsville, MD led the study.

Glad tidings he brings to fans of this flower gladiolas
Maine Sunday Telegram - 1/29/2012.

By Tom Atwell – Gladioli scream summer. They show up in the garden just as the heat begins to kick in, and when you cut them and bring them inside, they last for a week or more. You just remove the spent blossoms at the bottom of the stock and let the buds closer to the top open up.
