Farmer Don-In His Own Words

[LESS INFO] 28 VIEWS | ADDED 05:01:50 02/08/10
Part of the reason pesticides are widely used in agriculture comes down to the general preferences of the average American consumer. Farmer Don, a local Portland farmer who grows and sells a variety of fresh foods explains the fussiness some people exhibit toward fruits and vegetables?they won't buy if something is blemished or has any insect holes. As he tries to explain, imperfection is a part of nature, and an insect boring into (say) an apple causes only a cosmetic harm. Using less pesticides reduces the risks of contamination to the surrounding environment, and also less exposure to farm workers, and ultimately to eaters.

Raj Patel: The Value of Nothing-The $200 Hamburger

[LESS INFO] 36 VIEWS | ADDED 23:28:30 02/02/10
Patel argues that corporations, driven only to achieve profits, do not try to satisfy real human needs. For example, Patel presents us with the true cost of a hamburger, not a $10 hamburger (that would be considered to many, pricey enough) but a $200 hamburger! How can that be? When you factor in the externalities, such as the amount of greenhouse gases emitted from cattle, the amount of trees leveled in rainforests to satisfy meat supply to the world?s fast food restaurants, the fertilizer and fossil fuel needed to grow and transport corn for animal feed used to feed the cattle, and other costs?it adds up to being a real whopper.

In Patel?s new book, The Value of Nothing, he hones in on what it means to have corporate monopolies that can manipulate both price and supply, coupled with a ?free market? philosophy that hijacks government oversight and public protection, where the price of something bears little relation with its true value.

Over the next 30 years, the Portland Metro area is projected to increase in population size by 1 million people. Since the 1970?s, the state, and in particular the Portland metro area that occupies 3 counties (Multnomah; Clackamas; and Washington), have remarkably managed their urban growth efficiently (and wisely) through the use of the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) process.

Urban Growth Boundary: Oregon Agriculture, Economy, and Managed Growth

[LESS INFO] 18 VIEWS | ADDED 09:21:05 01/11/10
Oregon is among the very few States, and the Portland area, of the even fewer major metro areas, that have for decades effectively fought back the forces of development, and resisted converting ever more parcels of urban land for re-zoning to industrial and commercial use, overemployed in other places under the banner of job creation and the promise of wider economic prosperity. Since the 1970?s, growth in the Portland area has been confined within carefully crafted boundaries, the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB), outside of which, urban growth was not allowed to occur.

Total Mix Ration Feed for Dairy Cows
08/22/11

How can Tom Trantham?s cows graze alfalfa and not be susceptible to bloat? The short answer: feed the cows a total mix ration (TMR) each evening when they come in from the fields. The key, according to Trantham, is to make sure the rumen continues to work over the nighttime hours so that it is already active when they start grazing the next day. View this video to learn more about Trantham?s strategy and the ingredients in his TMR.
