Keeping smoked salmon safe to eat:
ARS scientists are helping ensure that the smoked salmon that's always a hit at festive gatherings also is always safe to eat, including among their achievements the development of a first-of-its-kind mathematical model that food processors and others can use to select the optimal combination of temperature and concentrations of salt and smoke compounds to reduce or eliminate microbial contamination of the product.

Good news for American aquaculture:
ARS this week posted the latest issue of its quarterly online newsletter "Healthy Animals," which highlights important breakthroughs in ARS research to keep America's farm-raised fish healthy and productive. (10/27)

Helping fish get rid of the "Ich":
Copper sulfate has emerged as an effective treatment for Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, also known as "Ich," a protozoan parasite that appears as white spots on infected fish, according to an ARS aquatic toxicologist who says the same treatment could also help fight a fungus called Saprolegnia on catfish eggs.

USDA Settles in Lawsuit with Native American Farmers
USDA has announced the settlement of a class action lawsuit filed against the agency by Native American farmers alleging discrimination. The settlement ends litigation concerning discrimination complaints from Native Americans generally covering the period 1981-1999. Under the settlement agreement announced today, $680 million will be made available to eligible class members to compensate them for their discrimination claims. Two payment "tracks" are available. Under the first track, persons who meet the class definition and provide substantial evidence of discrimination to an impartial adjudicator will receive a uniform settlement of up to $50,000. The second track is for those persons who meet the class definition and believe they have stronger evidence of economic losses caused by discrimination. The settlement also provides a broad range of programmatic relief for Native American farmers, including creation of a new Federal Advisory Council for Native American farmers and ranchers, and enhanced technical assistance services through the establishment of a network that provides intensive instruction to recipients concerning financial, business and market planning skills and supports the deployment of tribal agriculture advocates and third party outreach and education providers.

Representatives Withdraw from Sustainable Agriculture Standard Initiative
The American Soybean Association (ASA) announced this week that it is withdrawing from the Leonardo Academy's initiative to develop a sustainable agriculture standard for American National Standards Institute. Fifty-four other commodity and farm organizations representing U.S. production agriculture interests joined ASA in withdrawing from the Leonardo Academy's process. A statement issued by ASA notes that, "While ASA supports the goal of a sustainable agriculture standard, it has become clear that that the Leonardo Academy process is biased against a balanced and open analysis of modern agriculture." The ASA statement continues, "Despite the Leonardo Academy's claim that the Committee is made up of members from 'across all areas of agriculture,' in reality the Committee is dominated by environmental groups, certification consultants, agro-ecology and organic farming proponents."

Scientists Pursue New Weed Controls for Organic Systems
Weeds are a critical issue facing organic growers, according to a press release from the Weed Science Society of America, but scientists have several research projects underway that offer new alternatives in weed management. The Global Change and Photosynthesis Research Unit of USDA's Agricultural Research Service is exploring practical ways to reduce the persistence of weed seeds, as are researchers at Ohio State and Purdue universities. One particularly innovative project underway at the University of California involves a prototype cultivation device that uses "machine vision" to attack weeds growing in the crop row, as a replacement for hand weeding. In a survey conducted online by researchers at Rodale Institute, 85 percent of the organic growers responding use at least three weed management strategies -- and most use six. The new research could offer them important new management alternatives.

Renewable Energy Initiatives Announced by USDA
USDA has announced several initiatives to promote biofuels industry development in the United States. One initiative is the publication of a final rule to implement the Biomass Crop Assistance Program that makes payments to eligible producers. USDA announced jointly with FAA a five-year agreement to develop aviation fuel from forest and crop residues and other "green" feedstocks in order to decrease dependence on foreign oil and stabilize aviation fuel costs. Meanwhile, a new biofuels report prepared by USDA's Economic Research Service that says replacing more petroleum with cost-competitive domestic biofuels reduces crude oil imports, thereby lowering prices for energy and benefiting the U.S. economy. The full report, Effects of Increased Biofuels on the U.S. Economy in 2022, is available online.

PepsiCo Effort to Help Farmers Reduce Water Use and Carbon Emissions
Food and beverage business PepsiCo has announced plans to roll-out its new i-crop farming technology on a global basis. The web-based tool, which was developed by PepsiCo in conjunction with Cambridge University, United Kingdom, is a crop management system that will enable PepsiCo's farmers around the world to monitor, manage and reduce their water use and carbon emissions, while also maximizing potential yield and quality. Trials of i-crop are currently underway at 22 farms in the U.K., where PepsiCo has announced ambitious plans to reduce carbon emissions and water usage by 50 percent across the farming of its core crops in the next five years. In its first Sustainable Farming Report, available online, PepsiCo U.K. outlined how it is working in partnership with its 350 British farmers to reach its aim of '50 in 5'. With brands including Quaker, Tropicana, Gatorade, Pepsi-Cola and Frito-Lay, PepsiCo is a major investor in global farming.

California Farmer Receives International Pollinator Conservation Award
Paul Kaiser of Singing Frogs Farms in Sebastopol, California is the 2010 recipient of the NACD-NAPPC Farmer Rancher Pollinator Conservation Award, sponsored by North American Pollinator Protection Campaign (NAPPC) and the National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD). The award was given as part of an international effort to promote public awareness about pollinators--birds, bees, bats, butterflies, beetles, and other animals that enable the reproduction of over 75 percent of flowering plants, accounting for as much as one-third of the nation?s food supply. Singing Frogs Farm is a certified Bee Friendly Farmingtm (BFF) operation, signifying that the operation meets or exceeds minimum criteria for providing adequate habitat for bees and other pollinators and using bee-beneficial practices.

The Northeast region is made up of Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, West Virginia, Vermont, and Washington, D.C.
Proposals are due December 7, 2010.
