Crop Production
Crop Production ISSN: 1936-3737 Released September 12, 2011, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Corn Production Down 3 Percent from August Forecast Soybean Production Up 1 Percent Cotton Production Up Fractionally Corn production is forecast at 12.5 billion bushels, down 3 percent from the August forecast but up fractionally from 2010. If realized, this will be the third largest production total on record for the United States. Based on conditions as of September 1, yields are expected to average 148.1 bushels per acre, down 4.9 bushels from the August 1 forecast and down 4.7 bushels from 2010. If realized, this will be the lowest average yield in the United States since 2005. Soybean production is forecast at 3.09 billion bushels, up 1 percent from August but down 7 percent from last year. Based on September 1 conditions, yields are expected to average 41.8 bushels per acre, up 0.4 bushel from last month but down 1.7 bushels from last year. Compared with last month, yield forecasts are higher in the Central Great Plains and along much of the Atlantic Coast. If realized, the forecasted yield in Nebraska will be a record high. Yield forecasts are below last month across the Southern Great Plains and portions of the Southeast as hot, dry conditions persisted during August. Area for harvest in the United States is forecast at 73.8 million acres, unchanged from August but down 4 percent from 2010. All cotton production is forecast at 16.6 million 480-pound bales, up fractionally from last month but down 9 percent from last year. -
Dissertation Effect of Farm to Fork Operations On
DISSERTATION EFFECT OF FARM TO FORK OPERATIONS ON BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS IN WHITE-FLESHED AND COLOR-FLESHED POTATOES Submitted by Fauzi Saleh Massoud Amer Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2015 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: Jairam Vanamala Co-Advisor: Martha Stone Lavanya Reddivari David Holm Copyright by Fauzi Saleh Massoud Amer 2015 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT EFFECT OF FARM TO FORK OPERATIONS ON BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS IN WHITE- FLESHED AND COLOR-FLESHED POTATOES The potato, Solanum tuberosum L., is one of the most commonly consumed food crops worldwide, and is the leading vegetable crop in the United States with 69% of per capita consumption as processed potatoes. In addition to micro- and macro-nutrients, color-fleshed potatoes are one of the richest plant sources for health promoting components such as resistant starch, polyphenols, and carotenoids. In contrast, potatoes are well known to contain naturally occurring glycoalkaloids (GA; α-chaconine and α-solanine) and processing-induced acrylamide (AL). Potatoes can be stored up to one year before being processed/consumed and the effect of genotype, storage (4oC or 10oC; 3 or 6 months) and processing (baking and frying) on both toxic and health beneficial compounds remains unknown. We hypothesized that cultivar, storage and processing alters bioactive content in potato tuber and potato products. To test this hypothesis, raw, baked, and chipped of white-, yellow-, red-, and purple-fleshed potatoes from initial (fresh) and stored tubers were evaluated for AL/vitamin C and GAs using Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) and High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Diode Array Detector (HPLC-DAD/UPLC-DAD), respectively. -

Potato Chronology by Richard E
A Potato Chronology By Richard E. Tucker 17 September 2013 Copyright © 2013 by Richard E. Tucker Introduction A Potato Chronology is an attempt at a history of potatoes in what is perhaps a new way to do history. It is a simple listing of facts and factoids about potatoes arranged in the manner of an historical timeline limited to one line per entry. Information is constantly being gleaned from primary and secondary sources, including web-based sources. Citations are included for all entries so that those interested can conduct further research on their own. In the beginning this work started with a narrow focus on the potato industry in New York State and, even more specifically, its northern Adirondack Mountain region where Green Mountain seed potatoes were once grown for distribution throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states. But it quickly became apparent that such a parochial view was limiting and that to truly understand the potato industry and its history, a much broader perspective was needed. So, our focus was widened, and herein one will find facts, statistics, incidents, discoveries, and developments from far-flung places affecting the world of the potato. Each entry represents some small incremental change or fact pertinent to the potato industry. Hopefully, the summation of these entries will give one a cursory understanding of the interconnectedness of world, national, and local influences that have reverberated throughout the potato world over the years. At the same time, we admit our prejudice to promote the New York State potato industry above others, and so we ask forbearance if we seem to do so in an inordinate manner.
