Horticulture New Zealand is pushing the government to follow through with its veggie production commitments. A new Institute of Economic Research report reveals prices could skyrocket under proposed regulations to reduce nitrogen runoff, with broccoli potentially jumping to $9 a head. Horticulture New Zealand Strategy Manager Michelle Sands told Mike Hosking that at the moment fresh fruit and vegetable growing and supply isn't recognised as a matter of national importance for New Zealanders. She says the current rules would prevent growers from rotating their crops, which would negatively impact soil health and could seriously threaten vegetable production.

Today we are going to be speaking with a local legend. Is he a local legend? He might think my choice of words there doesn't fit. But I say it all the same because this man wears and has worn so many hats in his life that it's hard to keep track. Formally, on the North Carolina State University Cooperative Extension Service website, you will find Craig Mauney listed as the Area Specialized Agent for Commercial Fruit and Vegetable Production. But that title hardly sums up his life experiences and interests professionally as well as personally. It's probably safe to say that if it has anything at all to do with plants and cultivating them, here in western North Carolina, Craig has knowledge of, if not some direct involvement in it.

A Center for Immigration Studies report and companion podcast episode, “Can U.S. Farm Workers be Replaced by Machines? Mechanizing Fruit and Vegetable Production,” provide historical context as well as analysis of current challenges and prospects for farm labor and mechanization. Both the report and the discussion explain the options available to replace U.S. farm workers - machines, H-2A guestworkers, and imports.The report outlines how rising labor costs have historically driven the adoption of mechanization in agriculture. It traces the evolution of farm mechanization, from the end of the Bracero program in the 1960s to the present day, highlighting pivotal moments such as the enactment of the Immigration and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA). IRCA supporters promised that legalized farm workers would demand higher wages, and that farm employers would have to raise wages and improve working conditions to retain legalized workers or hire H-2A guestworkers. But this did not happen, partly due to massive fraud.Philip Martin, professor emeritus of Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of California at Davis and author of the report, discusses how once legalized the workers left the fields for other employment and were replaced by new illegal workers. Since the passing of IRCA, which legalized more than one million illegal farm workers, the debate over the pay and work conditions of those in the fields and the role of mechanization has persisted.Martin emphasizes the pivotal role of government policies in impacting the growth of mechanization through labor-saving research, the cost of farm workers, and imports. The Farm Workforce Modernization Act (FWMA), approved by the U.S. House in March 2021 and re-introduced in July 2023, is the most recent legislation debated and repeats the IRCA bargain – legalization of illegal farmworkers for easier access to H-2A guestworkers.There is a race between labor-saving machines and migrant H-2A workers playing out amidst rising imports. Higher labor costs accelerate investments in machines to replace workers and spur government and private efforts to develop new farming systems, biological and engineering breakthroughs, and supply chain adjustments to accelerate labor-saving mechanization.Martin stresses, “Research, migration, and trade policies will help to determine whether workers or machines pick U.S. apples and oranges in 2030.”In his closing commentary, Mark Krikorian, the Center's executive director and podcast host, highlights President Biden's false claim that he does not have the authority to control the border and action from Congress is required. Political vulnerability is now forcing him to control the massive numbers entering the country.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestPhilip Martin is Professor Emeritus of Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of California at Davis.RelatedCan U.S. Farm Workers Be Replaced By Machines?Bracero 2.0: Mexican Workers in North American AgricultureBiden's New Border Plan Shows ‘I Can't Do Anything' Was Always A LieFollowFollow Parsing Immigration Policy on Ricochet, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts.Intro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

Wally Satzewich joins us from Saskatchewan to tell us about Small-Plot Intensive Farming (SPIN Farming.) Having studied psychology and ran a taxi franchise, Wally became interested in market gardening. So he bought a farm. But a conventional market garden wasn't the right fit for him. That's because a big operation requires hired help and capital outlay for equipment. So Wally and his wife Gail sold the farm—and moved back to the city. To farm—to farm other people's yards.And in the process, Wally mapped out a system of best practices called SPIN farming (Small Plot Intensive farming.)Today he tells us his journey, and what he's learned along the way.We talk about: Running the 20-acre market garden Downsizing and setting up in the city The SPIN model and variations on it Comparing SPIN farming to commodity farming Using the SPIN model in small towns Top tips for new urban and SPIN farmers

What does it take to thrive as an organic, stockfree, community-interest farm? Quite a lot, but as our guest today shows, it’s a climbable mountain. Joining us today is Iain Tolhurst of Tolhurst Organic located in south Oxfordshire, UK. Tolhurst Organic, one of the longest running organic vegetable farms in England, supplies in-season organic vegetables and fruit delivered to local neighborhoods weekly, via a neighborhood rep scenario. Almost all vegetables are harvested the day of delivery to guarantee freshness. They pride themselves on being able to grow as many of the vegetables as possible and produce at least 85% of the value on their own land. They believe that food should be as local as possible, and focus on buying from other organic farms in the area. We discuss the inner workings and methods of Iain’s uniquely thriving farming operation in this episode, so it’s certainly not one to miss! You’ll hear: How Tolhurst Organic began and what it’s all about 2:00 What a community interest company is about 4:33 What Iain was doing before embarking on his farming journey 7:09 What a typical week looks like on Iain’s farm 8:45 How and why Tolhurst Organic goes stockfree 13:53 How they go about managing nitrogen 21:42 What Iain does with ramiel wood 25:00 How Tolhurst Organic reduces their carbon footprint so effectively 39:45 How Iain developed the on-farm store for Tolhurst Organic 48:52 The biggest mistakes Iain sees newer farmers making 56:50 How they manage strawberries on the farm 1.00:01 What bit of encouragement Iain would give to himself as a new farmer 1.01:14 Iain’s favorite farming tool 1.02:16 Where you can find more about Iain and Tolhurst Organic 1.06:28 About the Guest: Iain Tolhurst has been at the forefront of the UK organic farming movement for over 40 years. His 8 ha farm has won many awards, the most recent being “Soil farmer of the year”. His most recent book “Back to the Land,” a chronological compilation of many of the articles and papers that he has written during his long career, gives a fascinating account of the way his farm and business has developed with much emphasis on soil management. His earlier work, “Growing Green” co-written with Jenny Hall, has become a text book for many especially the newly emerging young people keen to get into Stockfree organic food production. For many decades he has been delivering inspirational speeches and presentations on the farm’s organic and sustainable methods of food production. His wide knowledge and experience has made him in much demand both nationally and increasingly internationally delivering presentations and educational seminars. The farm is a model of sustainability and produces a wide range of produce for the local community. Visitors from all over the world are able to see for themselves the various components of the Stockfree organic farm, from the green manures and diverse rotations to the woodchip composts and integration of agroforestry to the vegetable system. Iain has been able to maintain a viable and sustainable business on land which is not considered suitable for vegetable production. The integration of crops and biodiversity makes for a fascinating and durable agricultural system. He has been heard to say “The primary product of this farm is the culture of biodiversity, food production is the by-product of that.” Resources: Local Line - https://site.localline.ca/learn/free-tools Website - www.tolhurstorganic.co.uk Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TolhurstOrganic Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/linsvegshed/

At the height of the season Gisborne's Leaderbrand can churn out 90,000 packets of salad a day
On the edge of the desert in South Australia's Port Augusta, vegetables grow abundantly, in a landscape once deemed, near impossible for food production. Now 15,000 tonnes of truss tomatoes thrive all year round, bringing life to the desert, using nothing but sunlight and seawater, known as concentrated solar power technology. This ‘Utopian' concept is led by Sundrop Farms, where people, planet and profit all come together in a holistic model, founded with food security and sustainability front of mind. We recently caught up with Sundrop Farms to learn more about how this futuristic system all works.
In Season 3, episode 13 of "What's Killing My Kale," Annie talked with Seth Wannmeuhler, a graduate research assistant at University of Minnesota, about kiwiberries. Seth has become an expert on kiwiberries through is research the last several years in which he seeks to develop a new hardy kiwiberry variety that produces well in Minnesota. In addition to his breeding work, he is also helping in the development of management recommendations for this crop, and studying the market potential of kiwiberries in Minnesota farmers' markets.
