Do not collect samples from within 150 ft. radius of these areas (see next slide) 2 4/4/2019 GRASSFED BEEF IN THE SOUTHEAST: FROM SEED TO PLATE Soil Sampling Pattern • Not within 150 ft • Shade • Feeding • Water GRASSFED BEEF IN THE SOUTHEAST: FROM SEED TO PLATE Soil Sample Collection • Materials: • Soil core sampler, shovel, or trowel • Bucket • Sample bag GRASSFED BEEF IN THE SOUTHEAST: FROM SEED TO PLATE Soil Test.. • Collect all the sub-samples into a clean bucket and mix thoroughly • Remove any non-soil materials from the sample • Take a pint of composite soil sample and put in a sample bag, close it, label it with your name, address, sample name, and forage species that are growing or to be planted • Mail the sample with required payment to the nearest Soil Testing Laboratory • Use the soil test results for applying required lime and fertilizers 3 4/4/2019 GRASSFED BEEF IN THE SOUTHEAST: FROM SEED TO PLATE Most nutrients are available at neutral pH GRASSFED BEEF IN THE SOUTHEAST: FROM SEED TO PLATE Mineral Nutrients Macro-nutrients • Nitrogen • Required for photosynthesis (component of chlorophyll) and green leafy growth. • Legumes – they fix nitrogen into the soil and make available for plant. Pastures containing 33% or more legumes do not require the addition nitrogen • Application – This nutrient is unstable. Therefore, need to be used in divided doses: • First dose – after planting when all forages (grass and forbs) are germinated well and field looks green • Subsequent doses: After the first and subsequent grazing GRASSFED BEEF IN THE SOUTHEAST: FROM SEED TO PLATE Mineral Nutrients.. • Macro-nutrients.. •Phosphorus • Necessary for root growth and development, growth and survival of seedlings, and fruit and seed formation • Stays in soil for a long time • Apply few weeks before planting (or at the time of planting if prior application is not possible) 4 4/4/2019 GRASSFED BEEF IN THE SOUTHEAST: FROM SEED TO PLATE Mineral Nutrients.. • Macro-nutrients.. • Potassium • Necessary for maintaining cold hardiness, disease resistance, and root growth and development • Intermediate between phosphorus and nitrogen in terms of stability in soil • Apply few weeks before planting (or at the time of planting if not possible to apply before planting), second application may be required to meet the crop demand GRASSFED BEEF IN THE SOUTHEAST: FROM SEED TO PLATE Mineral Nutrients.. • Other nutrients: Other fertilizers including the micronutrients may be required for your pastures depending on the type of forages grown and their performance • Secondary nutrients • Calcium • Magnesium • Sulfur • Micro-nutrients • Boron, manganese, copper, iron, molybdenum, chloride, zinc, nickel • Animal manure GRASSFED BEEF IN THE SOUTHEAST: FROM SEED TO PLATE WEED CONTROL IS IMPORTANT 5 4/4/2019 GRASSFED BEEF IN THE SOUTHEAST: FROM SEED TO PLATE Weed Control – Why? • Weeds compete with forages for nutrients, space, sunlight, and moisture, and reduce the productivity and quality of forages • Some weeds can be poisonous to livestock • Weeds must be controlled before applying any lime or fertilizer • There are different methods of weed control GRASSFED BEEF IN THE SOUTHEAST: FROM SEED TO PLATE Steps of Weed Control • Walk your pasture regularly • Identify weeds GRASSFED BEEF IN THE SOUTHEAST: FROM SEED TO PLATE Horsenettle Coffeeweed Dogfennel Copperweed 6 4/4/2019 GRASSFED BEEF IN THE SOUTHEAST: FROM SEED TO PLATE Weed Control Methods • Close grazing with small ruminants • Then bottom plowing at the beginning, and repeated tilling of the soil if still weeds or other plant persist • If close grazing and soil tillage is not good enough to control the weeds, use of a suitable herbicide will be necessary. To decide which herbicide to use, visit this link and read the weed control chapter: http://www.tuskegee.edu/sites/www/Uploads/files/About%20 US/TUCEP/Livestock%20Program/WeedProceedings.pdf • Control weeds before they flower and produce viable seeds GRASSFED BEEF IN THE SOUTHEAST: FROM SEED TO PLATE Manage Weeds on Time This stage is already too late! GRASSFED BEEF IN THE SOUTHEAST: FROM SEED TO PLATE Weed-Seed Spread - Minimize • Weed seeds can spread through • Mower, chopper, or other farm equipment • Manure containing weed seed • Weed-contaminated hay • Grazing animals • Operators’ shoes and clothing • Minimize this possibility • Clean equipment, shoes, and clothes • Do not use contaminated hay or manure • Give rest to livestock for 3-5 days before bringing to clean pastures 7 4/4/2019 GRASSFED BEEF IN THE SOUTHEAST: FROM SEED TO PLATE Methods of Weed Control • Cultural • Mechanical PROPER • Grazing/Biological TIMING • Chemical • Integrated GRASSFED BEEF IN THE SOUTHEAST: FROM SEED TO PLATE APPLY LIME AND FERTILIZER BASED ON SOIL-TEST RECOMMENDATION GRASSFED BEEF IN THE SOUTHEAST: FROM SEED TO PLATE Soil pH Correction • Apply lime to the acidic soil to increase the pH • 6 months to one year prior to targeted results in the permanent pastures where no tillage is applied • At least three months before planting in the annual pastures • Apply any of the following to lower the pH in alkaline soil • Sphagnum peat, elemental sulfur, aluminum sulfate, iron sulfate, acidifying nitrogen, and organic mulches 8 4/4/2019 GRASSFED BEEF IN THE SOUTHEAST: FROM SEED TO PLATE Fertilizer Application • Calculate the required amount • Calculate on your own • Use the fertilizer calculation sheet • Use online calculator http://www.aces.edu/anr/soillab/chemfertilizercalc.php • Do cost calculation and select the most economical fertilizer (nutrient vs. filler) GRASSFED BEEF IN THE SOUTHEAST: FROM SEED TO PLATE Organic Matter for Improving Soil • Add organic matter and build your soil • Compost, plant residues (shoots and roots), and animal wastes are the sources of organic matter • Organic matter function • Holds the soil particles together forming aggregates, thereby reducing the risk of soil erosion • Maintains soil porosity and facilitates air and water movement through the soil as well as nutrient uptake by the plant roots GRASSFED BEEF IN THE SOUTHEAST: FROM SEED TO PLATE Organic Matter .. • Organic matter.. • Increases the nutrient retention and water holding capacity of soil • Facilitates the survival and growth of various flora and fauna (earthworms, microbes) and enhances the microbial activity and overall soil health • Organic matter itself serves as a source of various nutrients required for plants 9 4/4/2019 GRASSFED BEEF IN THE SOUTHEAST: FROM SEED TO PLATE Organic Matter .. Factors that promote gains of soil organic matter Green manures or cover crops Conservation tillage Return of plant residues into the soil Low temperatures and shading Controlled grazing High soil moisture Surface mulches Application of compost and manures Appropriate nitrogen levels High plant productivity High plant root:shoot ratio Source: Brady and Weil, 2002. GRASSFED BEEF IN THE SOUTHEAST: FROM SEED TO PLATE Organic Matter .. Factors that promote losses of soil organic matter Erosion Intensive tillage Whole plant removal High temperatures and exposure to sun Overgrazing Low soil moisture Fire Application of only inorganic materials Excessive mineral nitrogen Low plant productivity Low plant root:shoot ratio Source: Brady and Weil, 2002. 29 GRASSFED BEEF IN THE SOUTHEAST: FROM SEED TO PLATE PREPARE LAND WELL FOR SUCCESSFUL FORAGE ESTABLISHMENT 10 4/4/2019 GRASSFED BEEF IN THE SOUTHEAST: FROM SEED TO PLATE Land Preparation • No-till drill • Drills seeds into the soil without opening much of the ground surface. • Very little or no soil erosion risk. • Can be rented or borrowed from most of the soil conservation districts or private companies. • Suitable to overseed annual or perennial forages into the existing pastures. GRASSFED BEEF IN THE SOUTHEAST: FROM SEED TO PLATE Land Preparation • Light harrowing • If no-till drill is not available, then existing pasture ground can be slightly opened up with light harrowing so that planted seeds can be in close contact with open soil, without much damage to the existing stand Harrowed field GRASSFED BEEF IN THE SOUTHEAST: FROM SEED TO PLATE Land Preparation • Prepared seedbed • Prepared seedbed is necessary for establishing some of the forages, which have poorly competitive seedlings and take a long time for establishing, such as sericea lespedeza, bahiagrass, and perennial peanuts.

    Women's Experimental Autobiography from Counterculture Comics to Transmedia Storytelling: Staging Encounters Across Time, Space, and Medium

    Women's Experimental Autobiography from Counterculture Comics to Transmedia Storytelling: Staging Encounters Across Time, Space, and Medium Dissertation Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Ohio State University Alexandra Mary Jenkins, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Jared Gardner, Advisor Sean O’Sullivan Robyn Warhol Copyright by Alexandra Mary Jenkins 2014 Abstract Feminist activism in the United States and Europe during the 1960s and 1970s harnessed radical social thought and used innovative expressive forms in order to disrupt the “grand perspective” espoused by men in every field (Adorno 206). Feminist student activists often put their own female bodies on display to disrupt the disembodied “objective” thinking that still seemed to dominate the academy. The philosopher Theodor Adorno responded to one such action, the “bared breasts incident,” carried out by his radical students in Germany in 1969, in an essay, “Marginalia to Theory and Praxis.” In that essay, he defends himself against the students’ claim that he proved his lack of relevance to contemporary students when he failed to respond to the spectacle of their liberated bodies. He acknowledged that the protest movements seemed to offer thoughtful people a way “out of their self-isolation,” but ultimately, to replace philosophy with bodily spectacle would mean to miss the “infinitely progressive aspect of the separation of theory and praxis” (259, 266). Lisa Yun Lee argues that this separation continues to animate contemporary feminist debates, and that it is worth returning to Adorno’s reasoning, if we wish to understand women’s particular modes of theoretical ii insight in conversation with “grand perspectives” on cultural theory in the twenty-first century.

    The True Cost of American Food – Conference Proceedings

    i The True Cost of American Food – Conference proceedings Foreword Patrick Holden Founder and Chief Executive of the Sustainable Food Trust I am delighted to be writing this foreword for the proceedings of our conference. I hope it will be a useful resource for everyone with an interest in food systems externalities and True Cost Accounting; and that should include everyone who eats! The True Cost of American Food Conference brought together more than 600 participants to listen to high quality presentations from a wide range of leading experts, representing farming, food businesses, research and academic organizations, policy makers, NGOs, public health institutions, organizations representing civil society and food justice, the investment community, funding foundations and philanthropists. As an organization which has contributed in a significant way to the development of the conceptual framework for True Cost Accounting in food and farming, we were delighted that the conference attracted such an impressive attendance of leaders from a range of sectors, all actively committed to taking this initiative forward. Looking forward, clearly one of the key challenges is how we can best convey an easy-to- grasp understanding of True Cost Accounting to individual citizens, who have reasonably assumed until now that the price tag on individual food products reflects of the true costs involved in its production. As we have now come to realize, this is often far from the case; in fact it would be no exaggeration to state that the current food pricing system is dishonest, in that it fails to include the hidden impacts of the production system, both negative and positive, on the environment and public health.

While there are many good sources of information freely available on the Web, oftentimes, the better sources of information require a subscription (to provide access to full-text articles). Napa Valley College Library has some great online databases that are available to you as a student and community member (all you need is a SNAP library card for off-campus access – see page 3). Typical Research Flow It is important to use a variety of information sources when conducting research. One approach is to start with print sources and work your way toward online information. You do not absolutely have to follow this sequence, but it helps to make sure you are covering all types of information available to you. Reference Books Circulating Books Articles from Online Databases The Web Associations 1 REFERENCE BOOKS Reference books provide general background information (facts, definitions, dates, details), assistance in focusing your topic, quick access to important factual and statistical information, and references to other sources of information. It is therefore a good place to begin your research.
