Family Farm Profits Up in 2014 But Water/Soil Conservation is Key Reports OSU Extension on Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water

Grants Pass, OR (PRWEB) August 14, 2014

There are more small family farms in the United States in 2014 than ever before and if well managed, they can be immensely profitable, says Oregon State University Farm Extension faculty member Maud Powell (citing the 2014 USDA Farm Census), speaking on the Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water radio show. The key to family farm profitability, according to Powell, is to maximize crop yield while conserving water and maintaining natural soil health. This can be economically achieved through cover crops, off-season niche crops, mulching, and increasing spoil organic content.

Maud Powell has an M.A. from Antioch University Seattle in Environment and Community Studies. A member of the Oregon State University Extension Faculty stationed at the Southern Oregon Research and Extension Center, Powell is also owner-operator of Wolf Gulch Farm. Powell was interviewed by Sharon Kleyne on August 11, 2014.

The globally syndicated Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water® radio show, with host Sharon Kleyne, is heard on VoiceAmerica and Apple iTunes. Kleyne is Founder of Bio Logic Aqua Research, a research, technology and product development center and the only company in the world specializing in fresh water, atmosphere and health. Natures Tears® EyeMist® is the Research Center’s signature products for dry eyes.

The primary considerations in intelligent farming, according to Powell, are water conservation and soil science. Powell and Kleyne agreed that the two are closely related. Healthy, nutritious, bio-active soils with high organic content retain far more water than soils with lower organic content. Crops grown in high organic soils require far less watering to achieve the same yield.

Soil organic content, Powell explains, is increased by not removing crop residue, mulching and off-season cover crops. Off season cover crops are especially important in states like Oregon, where Powell works. Oregon has very distinct seasons but the winters are normally not cold enough to freeze the ground. Cover crops hold the soil in place during the winter rainy season, prevent the heavy rains from leeching out nutrients and help maintain organic content. Common winter cover crops include various grasses, rye and oats. Intermingling legumes such as fava beans, clover or alfalfa alongside the grasses will improve the soil’s nitrogen content. Soil should always be kept covered with a mulch layer to inhibit water evaporation.

Organic content also creates heat as the material decomposes, Kleyne notes, which reduces the threat of soil freezing.

The suggested small farm practice, according to Powell, is to grow commodity crops in summer, such as hay, wheat, soy or corn, and “niche crops” in winter. Niche crops are small specialty crops sold directly to the local market. The purpose is to maintain organic content and maximize yield and profit between major harvests. The list of potential niche crops is endless and includes medicinal herbs, vegetables, heirloom crops and ethnic foods such as mung beans and chili peppers.

Niche crops may also be grown in greenhouses or in “high tunnels” in the off season, says Powell. A high tunnel is a temporary greenhouse or tent in which crops are planted directly into the ground and protected by the tent, which may be 100 feet long. Kleyne notes that some niche crops may also utilize the land underneath a forest canopy. Forest understory niche crops include morel mushrooms, hazelnuts, little princess pine for root beer, elderberries, blackberries, huckleberries, truffles, and much more.

Perennial commodity crops that are not replanted every year, such as grapes, apples, pears, walnuts or hay, do not require a winter cover crop but they will benefit from mulching and improvement of soil organic content.

Flavored water is a category of bottled mineral, spring or purified water containing flavours. The functional water is a derivative of flavored water with added functional ingredients such as botanicals, vitamins, minerals and oxygen. These types of drinks do not contain caffeine, colour, carbonation or preservatives. The growing health concern of the masses, which is making them refrains from consuming carbonated or artificial flavored drinks, acts as major driving factor for the industry. These drinks are priced similar to the carbonated drinks, which reduces the switching cost of the consumer, thus increasing the attractiveness of these drinks.

The common flavours in the flavored and functional waters market are orange, apple, cherry, lemon, peach and mixed. Asia Pacific has been emerging as a strong market registering double digit growth in 2012. Some of the major companies operating in the market are Nestle, Danone, Coca Cola and PepsiCo.

Bel Marra Health Reports on Recent Research Reveals Walnuts May Protect Against Heart Disease and Diabetes

Bel Marra Health Reports on Recent Research Reveals Walnuts May Protect Against Heart Disease and Diabetes

Toronto, ON (PRWEB) October 10, 2013

Bel Marra Health, who offers high-quality, specially formulated vitamins and nutritional supplements, reports on a recent study revealing that walnuts could help to improve the health of those suffering from metabolic syndrome and other obesity-related health problems.

As Bel Marra Health reports in its article, (http://www.belmarrahealth.com/healthy-eating-2/walnuts-could-protect-you-from-heart-disease-and-diabetes/) nuts have always been seen as one of the best sources of minerals and fatty acids on the planet. Nuts provide unsaturated fats, which help to reduce cholesterol levels. They are loaded with digestion-friendly fiber, and they contain a good deal of Vitamin E, a vitamin that helps protect against coronary artery disease and other cardiovascular disorders. Nuts truly are some of nature’s most amazing creations, and a recent study published by the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center points to another potential life-saving health benefit of these tasty morsels.

The Connecticut-based research center conducted a study among 46 adults between the ages of 30 and 75. All of the participants were overweight with BMIs greater than 25; the men had waist circumferences larger than 40 inches and the women had waists larger than 35 inches. The study group was also at risk of developing metabolic syndrome, a precursor to more serious disorders like cardiovascular disorders and diabetes.

The 46 adults were divided and assigned two different diets: the first group was assigned a diet of their own choosing that included walnuts, while the second group consumed a diet without walnuts. Those that participated in the diet containing walnuts were given no more than 56 grams of walnuts – unroasted and shelled – to consume per day. This group of adults showed a marked improvement in their endothelial function, despite their being overweight or obese. While adding the walnuts to their regular diet didn’t lead to weight loss, it did increase vasodilation in the brachial artery. It also helped to benefit their systolic blood pressure, thereby reducing their risk of cardiovascular disorder.

The lead author of the research team, Dr. David Katz, Director of the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center, explained that altering one’s diet completely can be challenging, which is why so many people continue with unhealthy diets to this day. However, adding just one food can be fairly easy, making it less of a challenge than completely altering one’s diet.

With the single addition of walnuts, the participants in the study improved their endothelial function and reduced their risk of heart disease and diabetes. The study reveals that making a few small changes to the diet that involves including highly nutritious food could help to improve the health of those suffering from metabolic syndrome and other obesity-related health problems, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disorders.

The purpose of adding nutrient-rich food to the diet is to satisfy the appetite and improve health, thus making it possible to remove the less nutritious food from the diet for those trying to lose weight. With further research, more appetite-satiating foods like walnuts could be found, which could provide remarkable health benefits to dieters and reduce their risk of health problems. Such a small addition to the diet proves that a few minor food modifications can make a huge difference in the health of those trying to diet and lose weight or maintain a long healthy life.
