Okra is a fruit that has its origin in Africa, and in recent times it has been gaining ground in greengrocers in many countries in America and Europe. If we are going to describe its appearance, we could probably define it as a function between a zucchini and a green pepper. It is widely used in Asian cuisine, especially for its ability to thicken soups and broths. But we will not talk about the recipes that can be carried out with this fruit, which are many, but about the most common diseases that okra seedlings usually suffer. And it is that of all the stages of development of these plants, it is when they are small when they are most vulnerable to the attack of pests and diseases...

Inoculative augmentation is when a release of beneficial is made on the crops once during the season and the control is ensured for the rest of the season by their offsprings... Numerous pests are successfully controlled within fields growing a wide variety of crops around the world.

Are CSAs still a viable business model for small farms? In the early 2000s, we hit a heyday for local farm and foods. Works by numerous authors created a resurgence in interest among consumers for “food with a face” - locally grown, seasonal, direct from the farm. What had been a mostly niche movement starting the 1980s that had limited appeal into the 90s took off in the 2000s... Share sizes are also far more flexible, and many farms now offer shares that focus on particular foods, crops, or other products they produce... A vegetable farm will partner with a pastured meat operation, a honey farmer, and an orchard and maple syrup operation to both create a longer CSA season and greater value for their members...

Plants prefer both not too much and not too little, unless you happen to be growing rice or a few other specialty crops! Depending on what you are growing, design can make a big difference to dealing with overly wet conditions. Raised beds are especially useful for early season crops that may face excessive moisture coming out of winter... We have rarely had to irrigate in past springs, but this year are looking at not just a significant loss on a number of crops, but a big electric bill from the additional well use this spring has required...

We are going to take a look at a few different ways we approach the profit question on our farm, along with how scale of enterprise and other factors can impact the profitability of different crops, in both good and bad ways... If you can turn over three to six other, fast growing crops in the same space during those five months, while their prices all may be lower, your total profit may end up being much higher than with ginger... Other spaces are dedicated to faster turnover crops at scales we can move with little infrastructure or storage expense. The two crops work together, since if we planted too much more of the fast growing stuff, we would need to scale up to a walkin or other refrigeration, lowering our profits and forcing us to increase our scale to make full use of such infrastructure and improvements... An apple orchard we work with has over the years gone to great lengths to diversity their orchard into over two dozen varieties of apple trees...
