Growing greens and delivering them safely to your plate is more complex than you might believe. Did you know that there are over 400 family farms behind the big brands of lettuce you see in your grocery store? Dan Sutton is general manager of the Pismo-Oceano Vegetable Exchange (POVE), a farmer-owned cooperative near San Luis Obispo, CA, and  joins Nicole & Michele to help you get to know the people behind your greens. Most people think that produce items like lettuce and leafy greens are farmed by corporations – especially when it comes to the leafy greens. that are found in retail grocery stores. “My company is a cooperative made up of five farming families, all of Japanese descent, who have banned together to sell their products. There are stories like this throughout the leafy greens industry” says Dan.  “It's important for dietitians to clear up this ‘corporate ag' image so that consumers understand that the people growing their fresh leafy greens are moms, dads, grandfathers and grandmothers who care a great deal about the quality, safety and nutrition of these foods because we feed them to our own kids along with millions of families across the country. We take this responsibility very seriously. And I think knowing this is something very important to people.” POVE farms several different varieties of leafy greens and specialty Asian vegetables. Dan is also a member and past chairman of the Board of an organization called the California Leafy Greens Marketing Agreement, which is a program that exists to make lettuce and leafy green safer by enforcing a set of food safety practices that take place on lettuce farms. He knows salads, loves salads, and is committed to gettin people trained to be your salad is safe.  He believes food bullying is negatively effecting his business because there a big knowledge gap when it comes to people understanding where their food comes from. “The leafy greens industry is a tough industry to understand to begin with. Growing safe, healthy, fresh high quality lettuce is challenging and we face all kinds of obstacles from weather to labor and food safety. I don't think people have any idea how difficult that is and what measures we take out in the field to make sure food is safe. For example, most people don't know that we have very stringent rules for hygiene that are required under the LGMA food safety program and, by law, in the state of California. Anyone who enters our fields must wear a hair net, we always have bathrooms and hand-washing facilities near the fields and people are trained regularly to follow all food safety precautions. This is just one example of something that most people have no idea about when it comes to the food on their dinner table.” This vegetable grower also wants you to know he believes one of most important factors in farming leafy greens are POVE's workers. “Most people don't understand the relationships that farmers often have with their workers. They really can be a part of our own families. We see their kids grow up, many of them work for us for generations. They are just such a big part of our operations and I think the perception is that farmers don't treat their workers very well. Most people don't understand how critical that workers are to our every day operations and how important they are to us.” Learn more across all social channels by following Lettuce Info, visit lettuceinfo.org or the POVE co-op at pove.net.

Vacunaciones empezaron en el Town Toyota Center esta semana. Las bibliotecas NCW paran de tomar visitas en persona. El Distrito de Salud reporta dos muertes adicionales del coronavirus. Y porque el Departamento estatal de Salud tiene diferente números de muertes debido al coronavirus que el distrito de salud local. Todo esto y más en el programa de hoy. Las historias del programa de hoy vienen del reportaje del Wenatchee World. Si gusta más información, vaya a wenatcheeworld.com. Vacunaciones contra el coronavirus empezaron en el Town Toyota Center esta semana. Este sitio masivo de vacunación, es una de cuatro en el estado, está ofreciendo la vacuna de Pfizer. Ahorita, personas 65 años de edad o más y personas 50 años de edad viviendo en hogares de varias generaciones son elegibles para la vacuna. Pero aunque seas elegible para la vacuna no significa que habrá vacunas disponibles, de acuerdo con Dan Sutton, el Director de la Mesa de Salud. El Distrito de Salud está recibiendo entre 400 a 3,000 dosis a la semana del gobierno federal, de acuerdo con el administrador de salud para los condados Chelan-Douglas, Luke Davies. Entonces, el Distrito de Salud está enfocando sus esfuerzos con personas en sus ochentas. Citas ya se han llenado esta semana. Las personas pueden empezar a buscar citas el Domingo al mediodía por Internet en el sitio web prepmod.wa.gov. También puede llamar al 800-525-0127 o 888-856-5816. Trabajadores en el cuidado de salud vacunaron a 100 personas el martes y quieren vacunar a 400 personas cada día después. Con el tiempo, farmacias en Safeway, Albertson, y Costco también van a empezar a vacunar a personas. 30 bibliotecas NCW no están tomando visitas en persona. Bibliotecas afectadas están en los condados de Chelan, Douglas, Okanogan, Grant, y Ferry. La Directora diputada Kim Neher dijo que la oficina del gobernador les dijo que no podrán abrir para visitas en persona hasta la fase 2. Bibliotecas continúan ofreciendo recogidas en la curva y está disponible los Martes, Miércoles, Viernes, y Sábados. Heritage Heights, un centro de asistencia para adultos mayores en Chelan, se ha liberado de su brote del coronavirus el Enero diecinueve. El Distrito de Salud Chelan-Douglas requiere que centros de cuidado a largo-plazo vayan veintiocho días sin un caso nuevo del coronavirus. El centro ha estado probando a todos sus empleados y residentes que salieron negativos cada semana. ¿El distrito de salud reporta muertes relacionadas con el coronavirus de diferente manera que el Departamento estatal de Salud, porque? El Distrito de Salud djo que ellos se esperan por el certificado de muerte que incluye el coronavirus como causa o como factor contribuyente de muerte. Un certificado de muerte puede tomar entre dos o cuatro semanas para procesar. El estado es mas rápido en reportar muertes donde el paciente probo positivo por coronavirus. Estudiantes de Eastmont regresaron a la escuela la semana pasada con un calendario hibrido. El distrito escolar está usando un calendario A-B: mitad de los estudiantes vienen un día y la otra mitad viene el siguiente día. Matt Charlton dijo que una de las razones por traer estudiantes de esta manera es por el horario de almuerzo cuando los estudiantes tendrían que reunirse. El distrito escolar está mitigando el riesgo de transmisión moviendo a los estudiantes por varios espacios, manteniéndolos seis pies aparte, y evitando que los estudiantes se enfrenten, de acuerdo con Charlton. La Región North Central se quedará en la fase 1 esta semana, concordando con el plan del gobernador Inslee para reabrir. La Region North Central incluye los condados Chelan, Douglas, Okanogan, y Grant. Para mover adelante con fase 2, una región tiene que completar dos de cuatro métricos para calificar. Ninguna región en el estado ha completado los requerimientos necesarios. Entre los métricos, el número de casos positivos por cada 100,000 en un periodo de dos semanas en la región North Central bajo por un 1%. Y eso no es suficiente. Tiene que bajar por 10%. La región pasó los métricos de personas hospitalizadas donde bajo por 12%, y el número de camas llenas en salas de cuidado intensivo ha bajado a 84%. En Enero 26, 54 nuevos casos de coronavirus fueron reportados por el Distrito de Salud Chelan-Douglas. El número total de casos ha subido a ocho mil, novecientos veintiocho. La proporción de coronavirus es cuatrocientos setenta y dos punto cinco, ha cambiado muy poco en la última semana.

Jason is joined by Dan Sutton to have a in-depth conversation about E-Sports and video games....

This week, we are joined by Dan Sutton, CEO at Tantalus Labs, Canada. Tantalus Labs was founded on a commitment to advancing the frontier of cannabis. They are a team of scientists, designers, and engineers committed to a bright, Sungrown reality, cultivating world-class BC cannabis in specialized, purpose-built greenhouses.Together, we explore Tantalus' unique approach to growing cannabis, the benefits of growing indoors, and the lifecycle of the cannabis plant. ⠀ EPISODE SUMMARYTantalus Labs are Cannabis producers and cultivators located in  Vancouver, BC and are leading a cultural revolution in sustainable cannabis cultivation. They use the naturally occurring conditions found in beautiful BC to create an enhanced growing environment while reducing the negative impact on the planet's resources.Dan fell into the Cannabis business after working within economics, finance and energy for nearly a decade after he discovered opportunities within the Cannabis market in Canada. Dan produces virtually pesticide free, legal, medical grade Cannabis. Tantalus Labs have specifically engineered an indoor environment for growing Cannabis which has been named ‘SunLab'. It is the culmination of four years of design and construction. It leverages the minds of leading BC scientists, engineers, and agriculturalists, all on a mission to build a brighter future for cannabis. It was created at the intersection of optimized plant health and sustainable cultivation. SunLab was designed to reduce the environmental impact of cannabis cultivation, which largely and historically relies on artificial light to provide the inputs for photosynthesis. SunLab uses natural full-spectrum sunlight as its main light source, reducing electricity requirements by up to 90% compared to traditional indoor growing. It is a truly revolutionary production method. Once recreational cannabis was legalised in Canada, the same growing principles and quality assurance principles which were established for the pharmaceutical market were applied to crops grown for the emerging recreation market, meaning both markets are now being served with elite, quality products. Tantalus produce Cannabis plants through propagation or ‘cloning' where nodes or cuttings from a mother plant are taken and grown, making them genetically identical. The advantage of this method of reproduction is that the plant chemistry, including the CBD and THC content, other terpenes and flavonoids which give the plant its flavours and aromas are identical, meaning widespread quality assurance.Plants from cuttings are grown within a vegetative state (The period of growth between germination and flowering) and can grow up to 9ft within the SunLab due to the carefully managed growing conditions. At the end of the vegetative state, the conditions are changed so that the plant perceives it to be the end of the growing season, and it will naturally flower. This means that within the greenhouse environment, four or five harvests per year are possible instead of just one which would be possible with outdoor cannabis production. The flowering phase is when the plant will start to develop its buds and its flowers which exhibit trichomes which are the fine growths which collect on the buds and sometimes the leaves. Trichomes are often referred to as ‘sticky', and hold the THC and CBD compounds.

HEMP VS POT? Tribes are considering starting crops for both Medical Marijuana, and Indian hemp. But should they? On this episode of Native Opinion, we discuss these issues and more! Discussion points with our guest, Ruth Hopkins: 1.) Excerpt: "Pot and Pretendians" Author: Ruth Hopkins Recently, officers in Sonoma County, California, confiscated marijuana plants from the Oklevueha Native American Church. Members of the church say the plants are sacred and used ceremonially. They’ve since taken the matter to Federal Court, suing Sonoma County, its Sheriff, and the Governor of California, claiming they’ve been discriminated against under the Constitution of the state of California, and alleging rights violations under the American Indian Religious Freedom Act. The members assert that marijuana is integral to their sacraments, just like peyote. There’s just one problem. It’s not. While I’m not a member of the Native American Church, I practice Dakota/Lakota spirituality, and marijuana has not, nor has it ever been, used as a part of ceremony. Claiming its part of our spirituality to avoid catching a case threatens the rights of actual Natives who deserve protection under the American Indian Religious Freedom Act. Yes, I said ‘actual Natives.’ You see, the Oklevueha Native American Church, established in April 1997 in Gunnison, Utah, doesn’t appear legitimate.   There is an old black and white hemp propaganda film which was released in 1942 called “Hemp for Victory”. I say propaganda because it was one of those old war time films. It really offers an insight into how we were and (arguably) are controlled by our government through ridiculous regulation, and as native people its even worse. It has always been our sovereign right to grow and harvest Hemp. There is a part in this firm directing farmers to register to be allowed hemp growers is interesting because in the film, the show a copy of the registration. Back then it was called a “Special Tax Stamp”. They were issued for one dollar. And in bold print is stated “Producer of Marihuana”. [Play Hemp for Victory]   "What is the difference between Hemp and Marijuana? A.) Genetics Cannabis is believed to be one of the oldest domesticated crops. Throughout history, humans have grown different varieties of cannabis for industrial and medical uses. Other plants were recognized for being psychoactive and were bred selectively for medical and religious purposes. This led to unique varieties of cannabis that we now know as marijuana. B.) THC Content Cannabis plants contain unique compounds called cannabinoids. Current research has revealed over 60 different cannabinoids so far, but THC is the most well known. THC is credited with causing the marijuana high. C.) Cultivation Hemp and marijuana are grown for different uses, and therefore require different growing conditions. Dan Sutton of Tantulus Labs, a Canadian company that specializes in cannabis cultivation technology, states “the core agricultural differences between medical cannabis and hemp are largely in their genetic parentage and cultivation environment.” Article Sources: http://www.leafscience.com/2014/09/16/5-differences-hemp-marijuana/ http://www.medicaljane.com/2015/01/14/the-differences-between-hemp-and-cannabis/ http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2015/12/21/pot-and-pretendians https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMvvNnRjkOo   2.) Black Hills Sacred Site land in trust Why do the nine tribes constituting the Great Sioux Nation, including those on Pine Ridge, staunchly refuse to accept $1.3 billion from the federal government? The refusal of the money pivots on a feud that dates back to the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie, signed by Sioux tribes and Gen. William T. Sherman, that guaranteed the tribes “undisturbed use and occupation” of a swath of land that included the Black Hills, a resource-rich region of western South Dakota. But in 1877, one year after Gen. George Armstrong Custer’s infamous defeat at the hands of Crazy Horse at Little Bighorn and without the consent of “three-fourths of all adult male Indians” stipulated by the treaty, the government seized the Black Hills, along with their gold, and began profiting from the protected land.   On November 30th, 2012, Rosebud Sioux Tribal Chairman Cyril “Whitey” Scott, the purchase of the sacred lands in the black ills as a done deal. “I can tell you that Pe' Sla, the sacred land on behalf of the Oceti Sakowin, is secured.
