...right of the village flows quietly a clear and blue river. When I was young, I used to swim in the river with my friends. How can I forget the wonderful time on this river fishing or rowing a boat with my boyhood friends! On the left of the village lies the village green where village meetings are often held by village officials. On this ground covered with soft grass we used to fly kites on windy autumnal evenings. The majority of villages live on agriculture. They get rich thanks to their fertile rice-fields and their diligence. Harvest time is certainly the busiest and the merriest time of the year. During the harvest, the villagers often get up very early in the morning. They cheerfully go to their rice-fields to harvest the bumper crop – the fruit of many months of hard work. My villagers are very friendly and helpful. They are willing to offer mutual help in any case and always get on with one another harmoniously. My village is rather small indeed but I like it very much because I was born and have grown up there and spent my happiest childhood among the simple and hard-working villagers who always feel attached to their native...

...injures man, his property, or his environment, or which just causes him annoyance. Such organisms include principally certain insects, nematodes, fungi, weeds, birds and rodents, or any other terrestrial or aquatic plant or animal life, or virus, bacteria, etc. In agriculture, concern is normally expressed when the damage done to a crop by a specific crop pest or a group of pests causes a loss in yield or quality because this would mean a reduction in profit. When a loss in yield reaches certain proportions, the pest can be designated an economic pest. According to Edward and Heath (1964), the pest status is reached when there is a 5 percent loss in yield in a particular crop. In pest management, the economic appraisal of the pest status and justification of the need to embark on control measures is defined in relation to the following concepts: economic damage, economic injury level and economic threshold. Economic damage can be defined as the amount of injury done to a crop that will justify the cost of artificial control measures. Economic injury level is the lowest pest population density that can cause economic damage, which will vary from crop to crop, season to season, and area to area. For practical purposes, there is an economic threshold defined by Stern et al. (1959) as the pest population density at which control measures should be initiated or started to prevent an ever increasing pest population from reaching the economic injury level. The economic threshold is conceptualized...

...CORN FLOUR MILL manufacturer says, maize flour is more nutritious than the common. Maize is an golden crop whose fat, P and Vitamin B2 rank first in all the grains. Maize flour contains linoleic acid and VE to reduce risk of arteriosclerosis by decreasing cholesterol level in human body. High contents of calcium and iron prevent high blood pressure and heart disease. Modern medical research indicates rich GSH in maize flour has the function to resist cancer, which detoxicates chemical cancerogenic substances by combining with them and excrete through digestive system. Coarse maize flour contains abundant lysine to restrain tumor. Nutrition in common flour depends on its raw material. Wheat, potato and cassava flour is quite different from maize. You can choose different flour as you need. For example, potato flour is often used to made bread and cakes. Corn flour mill is a good choice for you to processing maize into quality flour. Since the opening reformation, corn flour mill, as Chinese pillar industry, has gained good market development, effectively increasing its competitive status and speeding up domestic economy. Seeing from corn flour mill development, we should not only rely on technology, but advanced leading principles. First, China should adjust and upgrade corn flour mill structure, increasing comprehensive level of corn flour mill industry.

...India wheat milling industry David McKee davidmckee59@msn.com Submitted March 15, 2012 to World Grain magazine. The owners of roller flour mills in India like to describe their country’s wheat industry in sweeping terms: an annual harvest that has reached a record level of 88 million tons; about one third of the crop each used by farmers, bought by traders or by the government; more than 1200 roller milling companies grinding from 15 to 18 million tons of wheat per year into refined flour called maida; several million tons of branded packaged stone ground whole wheat flour or “atta”; and most importantly 40 to 45 million tons of atta still ground on a job work basis in villages, towns and even in large cities by small electric or diesel driven stone mills, known as chakkis. Such broad brush strokes however conceal the enormous complexity of India’s grain value chain. Wheat production and consumption vary enormously from region to region. Differing tax regimes on wheat purchasing and wheat product sales give artificial advantages to millers in some states and put those in others at a huge disadvantage. Government procurement of wheat for the “central pool” in surplus states and movement to deficit states for heavily subsidized distribution to the poor under an array of state level welfare schemes results in massive distortion of markets and creates huge incentives for illegal behavior at all levels of the supply chain, as does a highly regulated agricultural marketing...

...in Asia is the Philippines that wealthy when it comes to different varieties of vegetables, fruits and other edible crops that provide people the basic needs in life. But it is also a fact that some of these products cannot be improved due to lack of knowledge on how these products can be transform into food. Philippines have numerous crops and still not all aware of many different vegetables here thus they are not aware of the countless nutrients they can get from it. A remarkable nutrient that gives benefits that can improve one’s health. Since Philippines have been conquered by many races, it is possible to adopt some of their culture and one of the greatest impacts on us was the Spaniards. As the time goes by, Spaniards introducedsome of their food like the braso de marcedes, champorado, ensaymada, mechado, pan de sal, polvoron and many more. Filipinos inherited Pan de sal from the Spaniards who once colonized the country, but as the years passed Filipinos made some revisions and declared as our own. Way back 16th Century, the Spaniards introduced the breads that comes in rolls and served during breakfast. Spaniards trained Filipinos on how to make bread and until now, the techniques are still there. Pan de sal, which literally means “bread of salt”, is typical Filipino bread that is traditionally served as a breakfast roll. Pan de sal is made of flour, yeast, sugar and salt knitted and cut into tiny squares and covered by bread crumbs and baked. Typically, it is soft...

...believe what the contract reveals about the nature of sharecropping is that it was set up to set the “freed” African American for failure and to put them in such debit that they basically became slaves to the landowner once again. The landowner has left a lot of responsibility to the sharecropper obviously I think a good example of this in this contract is that the landowner has agreed to provide the team but the sharecropper has to feed the team Saturday nights, and every other day morning night a day and if he fails to provide the meal he will then owe the landowner 5 cents, which was a lot of money at the time especially for a poor sharecropper. He also has to pay for his half of the manure which the landowner designates as enough of the crops. This system is so beneficial to the landowner but only allows the sharecropper enough to thrive to live. I don’t believe this system was good for both the sharecropper and the landowner. I believe as earlier stated it was one sided to the landowner. The sharecropper had a lot of responsibility while all the landowner did was provided the land and horses for the sharecropper and then reaped all the benefit finically. He got a low cost of labor and once the debit piled up from the landowners harsh expectations basically free labor out of this. This landowner even went as far to make the sharecropper “sow and haul” his oats but of course the sharecropper was not allowed to take part in any of them. Also if the sharecropper does not meet...

...India is an agricultural country. Eighty percent of Indians earn their living by working on land. The Indian farmer is the backbone of the Indian society because he feeds us and supplies us with food grains. He provides us with raw materials for cloth, fire-wood and timber. He works very hard from morning to evening. He has to get up early in the morning and plough the land. From the ploughing of the fields he turns to the feeding of the cattle. Hardly does he finish hoeing when he takes to weeding or watering. He takes his breakfast in the fields and works on till noon. He enjoys simple food, fresh air and sound sleep at night. His living depends on the rain god. He is ruined if his crops fail due to lack of rain or drought. He is happy if the harvest is growing. When the crop fails, he borrows money and runs into debt. The Indian farmer spends his life in the lap of nature. An Indian farmer is generally illiterate. He is often used to drinking heavily. Since the freedom of the country, the lot of the Indian farmer is improving. He is being encouraged by the government to improve his lot by increasing production. He is being given loans to buy farm inputs and to have tube wells and pumping sets. Free and compulsory education goes a long way in bringing about a great change. The Indian farmer is growing more, earning more and has a better standard of...

...ECHO FIELD TRIP On this wonderful tour, I learned a large amount of sustainable agricultural approaches. Crop rotation was one of them. It’s where the farmer grows different crops in the same field, in succession. Apparently, there are repercussions to planting the same crop over and over. This avoids those challenges. One challenge in particular is reducing the pest issue that most farmers face. These pests usually explode in population due to the continual availability of their food source. These pests tend to prefer one certain crop and by changing it yearly, the pest population stays down. These farmers also tend to plant crops that replenish the nutrients in the soil. Crops like soybeans and legumes reduce the need for the farmers to use fertilizer because it keeps the soil healthy. Farmers also use a method called “cover crops.” This method involves always having something growing in the soil. This prevents the soil from eroding, the weeds from growing, and it improves the quality of the soil. You will also see a large amount of farmers introduce “pest predators” onto their fields. Insects, birds, and spiders eat a lot of the pests that terrorize the crops of these farmers. These are just a few of the sustainable methods farmers use to keep their farms afloat. The biggest problem farmers’ face is the fact that there is an overgrowth of these pests. These pests are evolving and some pesticides are failing to work at this point. This forces farmers to introduce predators...

...appropriate tools that may help them achieve the maximum financial benefits. Farmers did not have access to quality inputs (pesticides, herbicides, etc.), or information on weather reports that may help improve their crop quality as well as the process of bringing it into the market. Because of this, farmers lost 60-70% of the potential value of their crop and the yield was only about a third to a quarter when compared to the global standards. ITC wanted to address the entire issue by helping the farmers earn their fair share, and improving the trading service. ITC wanted the farmers to have access to all the information, and have them make decisions on how they wanted to sell their crop. ITC enabled this by creating a Hub is each village which enabled them to attain information relating to weather, crops, best practices, and all their questions could be answered by an expert in the field. 2.
