Extractions: NWS Input to NOAA's Weekly Report - August 29, 2002 HOT ISSUES I. KEY DEPARTMENT NEWS The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) National Weather Service and Arkansas Department of Emergency Management to Sign Memorandum of Agreement. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) National Weather Service and Florida State and Federal Agencies Collaborate to Get Additional Data. The NWS, working in collaboration with the Florida Department of Transportation (DOT), NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS) and Forecast System Laboratory (FSL), and Florida Weather Forecast Offices, is working to enhance weather analyses and forecasting through the use of Global Positioning System (GPS) sites throughout Florida. The Florida DOT plans to install 50 GPS sites around the state to improve its geophysical observation and mapping capability. Once installed, the GPS system will help provide atmospheric moisture content measurements that may be accessed at any time (currently upper air weather balloons capture those data only twice a day). This is an important asset in increasing efficiency and effectiveness of NWS forecasting capabilities. Since GPS signals are affected by atmospheric water vapor, the FSL has developed a technique to derive Integrated Precipitable Water estimates (moisture content from the Earth's surface to the top of the atmosphere) from the GPS data. A few GPS sites are currently operational in Florida and are already providing the NWS with high resolution real time IPW estimates. All 50 GPS sites are expected to be operational within the next two years. (Contact: Ron Trumbla, W/SR, 817-978-1111, ext. 140)

Start at the top and work your way downyou should find the answer to your gardening question or problem. I don't try the larger databases until last because I have found that if I go directly to the sites they catalog, I always find other topics that aren't exactly what I was looking forbut are interesting just the same! If you are a southern gardener use Aggie Horticulture, FAIRS in Florida, or Missouri first then the WebGarden which catalogs several southern extension services. If you find any non-working sites, please write me at tlyockey@geocities.com I have also listed some sites at the bottom of this page that have factsheets that aren't searchable, but are available for downloading or reading. Note! Many of the publications are in Adobe Acrobat format. You will need an Acrobat reader to view and print them.

Seed Lot Sampling P32. coop. ext. with the US Department of Agriculture and cooperative extensionServices of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska http://www.ext.nodak.edu/extpubs/plantsci/smgrains/ncr403w.htm
Extractions: M.K. Misra, agricultural engineer. Sponsored by the Extension Services of Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri. North Dakota, Ohio, and Wisconsin in cooperation with ESUSDA. Careful sampling of a seed lot is an important step in obtaining a sample which accurately reflects the characteristics of the seed lot. Aside from carefully controlled production and conditioning practices, painstaking sampling is actually the first step in assuring accuracy and precision in seed testing. The purpose of seed testing is to obtain information regarding the planting value of seed in any particular seed lot. For testing to be meaningful, seed samples must be properly collected. Seed tests often generate information which must, by law, appear on the seed label and/or is required for obtaining a phytosanitary certificate. Both the seed producer and the buyer rely on accurate laboratory information. Seed testing laboratories therefore must have modern equipment and well trained analysts. However, seed lot sampling may be beyond the control of the seed analyst conducting tests on the submitted sample. And if the submitted sample is not representative of the seed lot, the laboratory analyses cannot accurately reflect the planting value of that seed. The Seed Lot A seed lot can be defined as a quantity of seed with every portion or every bag uniform within permitted tolerances as to percentage of pure seed, inert matter, other crop seed, germination and dormant seed, weed seed, and rate of occurrence of noxious weed seeds. A quantity of seed which is not uniform within permitted representative tolerances should not be classified as a seed lot. Any variation should be reduced by further conditioning, by mixing, or by separating the quantity in question into two or more uniform lots.

Extractions: Michelle Schank is a Graduate Research Assistant and Joan Fulton is an Associate Professor in the Department of Agricultural Economics As consolidation and the industrialization of agriculture intensify, the food chain is experiencing significant structural changes. Increased concentration and increased vertical coordination are occurring as businesses in the agrifood sector are trying to increase efficiencies, relay information along the supply chain more quickly, and take advantage of profits at other stages of the food chain. Many agricultural producers are responding to the changing environment by cooperating with other producers to develop value-added businesses. One common organizational form that producers are using for the value-added business is the New Generation Cooperative. This Internet Guide is intended to be a resource for locating electronically available information on New Generation Cooperatives. In the following sections we provide a brief explanation of the What, Why, Where, and How of New Generation Cooperatives, along with related references to publications and other information that is available on the internet.
