Extractions: Intel IT Update Charles Abbott Washington US farmers will harvest their biggest corn and soybean crops ever, the Government said Friday in its first estimate of the fall harvest - an astounding 10.369 billion bushels of corn and 2.989 billion bushels of soybeans. The mammoth outpouring, vastly larger than 1999's crops, would be accompanied by the second-largest cotton crop on record, 19.2 m bales weighing 480 lbs each, and a moderate 2.26 billion bushels of wheat, the Agriculture Department said. Huge crops would mean a fourth year in a row of low grain and soybean prices. "There's no floor on how low it can go," said private consultant John Schnittker. Analyst Greg Doud of the firm World Perspectives pointed to the possibility that hot, dry August weather might reduce crop size, especially soybeans in a critical reproductive stage, but large crops seemed certain.

Extractions: Violations Raise Questions About Compliance Elsewhere For the first time, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) took enforcement actions against two biotechnology companies whose plantings of experimental genetically engineered crops were found by EPA inspectors to violate the law. That August 5 crackdown was hailed by the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), which today said that EPA should conduct more frequent inspections of genetically engineered crops to ensure that biotech companies comply with regulations designed to protect human health and the environment. In one case, Mycogen Seeds, a unit of Dow AgroSciences, failed to isolate its experimental insect-resistant corn with a border crop of hybrid corn and failed to plant trees to act as windbreaks. In the second case, Pioneer Hi-Bred International, a DuPont subsidiary, planted its experimental corn crop at an unapproved location too close to other crops. Both companies violations were in Hawaii and uncovered by EPA Region 9 inspectors. The provisions violated are designed to protect neighboring corn crops from breeding with the experimental biotech crops. The two corn crops at issue are engineered to be resistant to the pest corn rootworm by using genetic material from bacillus thuringiensis , a bacterium. Such cropsreferred to as Bt cornproduce their own pesticide, reducing the need for spraying with conventional chemical pesticides. Corn rootworm destroys millions of dollars worth of corn each year.

The design was duplicated at two fields about one mile apart with the same cropping history. The treatments included a check with no insecticide, corn seed encapsulated with Force insecticide, and liquid Regent insecticide applied in furrow at planting. Individual plots were 15 feet wide and 300 feet long. On July 20, 2000, corn roots were evaluated for rootworm damage. For each treatment, five root masses were dug, washed, and inspected for rootworm damage. The Iowa scale of 1 = no damage to 3 = economic impact to 5 = severe root pruning was used.

ISU Extension News Release

Extractions: Jean McGuire, Continuing Education and Communication Services, (515) 294-7033, jmcguire@iastate.edu Understanding Corn and Soybean Counter-Cyclical Payments in the New Farm Bill Ames, Iowa - Farmers, landowners, and agricultural lenders should be aware of important differences between counter-cyclical payments (CCPs) of the new farm program and the old deficiency payment system that was used in pre-1996 federal farm programs. Both payment plans are based on target prices established by Congress, but there are some important differences that give target prices a different role than past programs, according to ISU Extension Economist Robert Wisner. The second component of the safety net is the direct payments, which are $0.28 per bushel for corn and $0.44 per bushel for soybeans for the 2002 through 2007 crops. Direct payments are made on 85% of the Farm Service Agency (FSA) base acreage and historical yields for the respective crops. These payments remain unchanged, even at extremely high or extremely low prices for their respective crops. Counter-Cyclical Payments The third component of the safety net is the CCPs. Like LDPs, CCPs, are price-sensitive. They also are made on 85% of FSA base acreage and yields. Yields for these payments may be updated to a recent four-year average. Wisner pointed out that with marketing year average prices moderately above the loan rates but well below target prices, CCPs drop to zero. He used a corn CCP example to illustrate how the calculations are made. First, CCPs are based on a weighted national average marketing year price paid to farmers. For corn and soybeans, the marketing year runs from Sept. 1 through Aug. 31. The marketing year average price is calculated by weighting monthly average prices by the volume of grain farmers sell each month during the year. If CCPs are made, each farmer receives the same CCP per bushel, regardless of geographic location.

Extractions: October 1, 2002 Nebraska Corn Crops Spared from Serious Aflatoxin Damage So Far By Bill Hord Source: Omaha World-Herald, Neb. Oct. 1LINCOLN, Neb.Nebraska's corn crop is apparently avoiding serious problems with a toxic, drought-induced mold known as aflatoxin, state officials said Monday. Tests throughout the state indicate that aflatoxin, which shows up to some degree every year, is more common than usual in this year's crop but mostly at safe levels. In incidents of high levels, the corn can be mixed with other corn to lower the concentration, diverted to animal feed or, in the most extreme cases, plowed into the ground. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration allows aflatoxin levels up to 20 parts per billion in food-grade corn. Corn with up to 300 parts per billion is safe as a feed for cattle being fattened for slaughter. At higher levels, aflatoxin is a risk to cause cancer. It does not affect the meat of animals but can pass through to milk in dairy animals. So far, the highest levels have been found in southeast Nebraska, according to Rich Reiman, director of plant industry for the Nebraska Agriculture Department.

http://www.consumersunion.org/food/epacpi1100.htm

Extractions: Washington, DC - Consumers Union, Friends of the Earth, and the U.S. Public Interest Research Group today demanded that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) not re-register Bt corn crops until it has conducted fundamental allergy testing available to the agency for over a year. The EPA is concluding three days of hearings regarding the crop re-registrations today. "EPA scientists have the allergy test, so they should use it," said Michael Hansen, Ph.D., Research Associate at Consumers Union, publisher of Consumer Reports, who discussed the study in testimony at EPA today. The study, entitled "Immune Responses in Farm Workers after Exposure to Bacillus thuringiensis Pesticides" appeared in the July 1999 issue of Environmental Health Perspectives published by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. Farm and mill workers may be most at risk for developing allergies, according to the study. The study looked at whether conventional Bt pesticide sprays might lead to allergic sensitivities in farm workers. The study found 2 out of 123 workers who picked and packed vegetables on a farm where Bt is used exhibited reactivity to the Bt pro delta endotoxin. This natural pesticide has now been introduced via genetic engineering into some 20 percent of the corn grown in the United States today. The Bt delta endotoxin is present in genetically engineered corn at a level at least 50 times that found in the conventional sprays in the study, according to Hansen.

Extractions: Why use plants to produce pharmaceuticals? Why not use traditional methods? Why is Dow using corn as the transgenic crop? How will you prevent a pharmaceutical-containing crop from affecting workers, the environment, or other corn crops destined for food use? How do you know that a human allergen will not be present in a pharmaceutical that you derive from plant material? Why use plants to produce pharmaceuticals? Some of the pharmaceuticals under development now will be producible only by plant-based technology. There is not enough manufacturing capacity to produce by other means. And the efficiency and cost of production will expand future therapeutic possibilities for patients and their doctors. For some conditions that could be treated with protein-based therapeutics, current treatment options are restricted because of a medicine's high production cost or high dosage requirements. Plant-based production is a way to make some medicines more available to patients who need them in higher dosage levels. The benefits of plant-based production include: Accommodation of a wide range of protein types, and unique cellular machinery that can enable production of certain novel therapeutic proteins.

Extractions: CORN European explorers sailed across the Atlantic to new countries. When they found the New World of North, Central and South America they not only discovered gold and silver they also found maize (corn). Christopher Columbus took maize back to Europe and from then on people started growing corn for themselves and their animals. In many tropical and subtropical countries corn is the main food people eat. It is eaten as a vegetable or ground into flour or cornmeal. Corn needs lots of sunshine to grow properly. It will grow in cool, mild or hot climates as long as there is plenty of sun. There are lots of varieties of corn and they have different colours too. Some corn is yellow, golden, red or black, striped, speckled or spotted. Locusts are often a major pest to corn growers. Huge swarms of over 50 billion insects can come and destroy a farmer's crop in no time, they strip the plants of their leaves and stems. Locusts plagues often cause famine and starvation in some countries. Corn is a beautiful vegetable to eat if steamed or boiled. Not only humans eat corn. Farmers grow corn crops for animals too. Below is an essay from Jemima who wrote us a story about corn. If you like corn or would like to know more about corn and how to grow it, how to store it, what diseases attack corn etc then this project is for you. Read Jemima's story and then tackle your own. Questions are given to help you along with your project. You can use these to research about corn or find out your own facts from library books or the Internet.

Extractions: Huts in the high-altitude Ambaras Region of the Semien Mountain National Park in North Gondar, Ethiopia. Ethiopians living at high altitudes have apparently adapted to low oxygen levels differently than similar populations in the Andes and the Tibetan plateau. As altitude increases, the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere decreases. With fewer oxygen molecules in every breath, a smaller percentage of red blood cells' hemoglobin actually carries oxygen. For travelers to high altitudes, such as mountain climbers, this can bring on potentially fatal altitude sickness. Populations indigenous to high altitudes, however, have adapted to the lower concentrations of oxygen. A well-studied Andean population has an elevated concentration of hemoglobin to compensate for the reduced oxygen carrying capacity. In contrast, hemoglobin concentration is not elevated in Tibetans, who are able to cope with low oxygen saturation. In PNAS this week

Extractions: Crops: Corn Corn was a staple crop for almost all American farmers during the colonial period. The plant had many purposes; the kernels provided food and the leaves and stalks could be used as fodder for livestock. The husks were often used to make brooms. Even the cobs could be used for fires, or for an even more practical purpose in the "necessary" or outhouse. Corn was Washington's second major crop, grown primarily for home use to feed the slaves and other workers on the plantation. It also provided food for his own household.
