the research to back that belief,” said Justin Grego, Oklahoma Farm Bureau Safety director. Dr. Heinz Valtin of Dartmouth Medical School conducted a literature review to find the research behind the recommendation for eight ounces of water eight times per day. He never found it although he thinks he knows where the idea originated. The Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council has recommended “one milliliter of water for each calorie of food.” One ounce of water is about 30 milliliters. If a person consumed around 2,000 calories per day, their need would be about 67 ounces of water per day based on this recommen- dation. That’s pretty close to the 64-ounce recommendation made in eight glasses of water eight times per day.

For women of the same age the AI is 2.7 liters or 11 cups. This turns out to be more than the eight cups we have always thought was the correct amount. “Keep in mind that AIs are figured based on actual average intake of men and women who may have been drinking more than they actually need. Your need may be more or less. Another important thing to remember is this includes fluid from all sources including food,” said Grego. If you always thought that the water in coffee, tea and soda didn’t count toward total fluid intake, you can rest assured that it does. The food we eat supplies about 20 percent of the fluid in a day. “The bottom line is that most people get enough water in the food and beverages they consume throughout the day.

An estimated six out of 10 rice fields in the southern U.S. alone are infested with weedy red rice, resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars in losses annually due to reduced yields. Researchers have discovered that weedy red rice absorbs more nitrogen than the rice cultivated for food. This means that when nitrogen-rich fertilizers are applied to an infested field, the weed robs nutrients from the crop and grows even bigger. “As a next step, we hope to determine which weed genes cause the weedy rice to use more nitrogen than rice,” Burgos said. “If we can narrow that down, perhaps we can learn how to make crops more nitrogen efficient and produce higher yields. In the meantime, the practical lesson for farmers and gardeners is to control weeds so they don’t steal the fertilizer meant for crops.” Similar research is helping scientists with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) explore the impact of dormancy in weedy rice, leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula) and other weeds. “When seeds and vegetative buds are in a resting period, they are far harder to control,” said Mike Foley, research leader for the 32 • Oklahoma Country • Fall 2008 USDA’s Agricultural Research Service, Plant Science Research Unit. “By identifying the genetic triggers that keep seeds from germina- ting, we hope to find clues that will help us develop more effective control measures.” Though research on weed genes is taking off in labs around the world, much remains to be done. “Ongoing molecular research into the genetic code of weeds is crucial,” said Lee Van Wychen, director of science policy for the Weed Science Society of America. “By understanding more about the characteristics of weeds – both the good and the bad – we can identify new opportunities not only for agriculture, but for use in other fields, such as medical science.” For more information on genetic weed research, visit www.wssa.net, or contact the Weed Science Society of America at 202-746-4686. The Weed Science Society of America, a nonprofit professional society, was founded in 1956 to encourage and promote the development of knowledge concerning weeds and their impact on the environment. The Weed Science Society of America promotes research, education and extension outreach activities related to weeds, provides science- based information to the public and policy makers, and fosters awareness of weeds and their impacts on managed and natural ecosystems.

Among the Act’s Provisions: The 2008 Farm Act continues many of the commodity programs introduced in recent farm legislation, adjusting payment levels and eligibility, while introducing a new average crop revenue election program. The Act introduces a permanent disaster assistance program and adjusts some details of the long-standing crop insurance program. Provisions for beginning and socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers consistently provide enhanced support across most of the titles in the legislation. New titles provide for horticultural crops and organic agriculture and for the livestock and poultry sector. The Specialty Crop Block Grant Program continues with increased mandatory funding, and pest and disease management provisions authorize annually increasing funds for early detection and risk mitigation.

The Credit Title adds new conservation loans, and the Forestry Title includes provisions for emergency private forest restoration. Benefits and eligibility increase for the Food Stamp Program (FSP), renamed the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) beginning in 2009. The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program and farmers’ market and food distribution programs also receive increased funding.

And the best way to make that happen is to look you in the eye and shake your hand. So, if you need home, auto or business insurance, call an Oklahoma Farm Bureau agent. You guys can meet, get to know each other and figure out what your needs are. That way, you can leave the Internet to what it was meant for — downloading videos of stupid human tricks.
