The trend in wheat has not been positive for nine weeks, although depending on what week you chose, it was either at the high end or the low end of an 88-cent range that was defined right at the beginning of the period since the last two weeks of July, with the upper end around $9.44 and the lower about $8.56. 88 cents per bushel is a lot of money. A single futures contract, or "one-lot", is 5,000 bushels. Around here that might represent all of the production of 45 to 65 acres of good wheat ground. In the Midwest it reaches 100 acres or more....

The weekend brought a surprise; my gardening neighbor and a bag full of Dutch bulbs from her garden. She and I trade seeds and bulbs -- a sustainable practice for gardeners. I have a prolific sunflower and sugar pumpkin patch each year. I move the patch, rotating from one end of the yard to the other, giving the earth a good mulching before each long winter's nap. Last year, my neighbor admired my rows of baby sunflower plants and asked where I had purchased such hardy fall starters. Starters? I had no starters, these plants germinated from...

Global import buyers have been active in the usual Northern hemisphere...
WAITSBURG - In a rural community, it's easy to feel like helping and making changes for the better are impossible as a single person.

With the promise of a new day and a new wine, partnered with friend and cookbook test kitchen gourmet, Desi Kitchens, we happily ushered in Labor Day Weekend visiting wineries of the region. The Wine: Vine crawling and leaf-peeping through the Southern end of Walla Walla County, we came upon Bunch- grass Winery. This well-established Walla Walla winery produced its first vintage in 1997 and continues to produce a scrumptious line of white and red wines. On this particular tasting, the 2009...
There are corn shipments from Brazil unloading on the East coast for feeders in the mid-coastal region. The price of corn has arrived at a tipping point that is the market must seek a price for United States corn that does not destroy demand any further than it has already. On the other hand too much relaxation of prices could kick demand up enough to over-run available supplies being harvested now. The price range for corn is thus de- fined loosely between about $8.50 and $7.50 for a while. The recent range for December corn is between $8.49 o...

Whole food is one of life's greatest pleasures. When we eat whole foods, we are getting the food intact with all of the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that make it a balanced food, rather than the bits and pieces that remain after refinement and processing. If you're trying to eat a healthier diet, relying on whole foods is a great place to start. Instead of an energy bar for breakfast, have a pear and some almonds. The goal is to decrease the amount of processed foods you eat and increase the amount of whole foods. The late harvest fro...
Ten Years Ago August 29, 2002 The Walla Walla Fair will be a Maiden family affair. This year's Queen of the Walla Walla Fair and Frontier Days, Haley Maiden, and the Parade Marshall, County Commissioner Chuck Maiden, are living proof that the roots of the fair family tree go deep. Haley is Chuck's granddaughter, making her a fourth generation Maiden family participant in the fair. Haley's aunt Pam (Maiden) Hannah was a fair queen in 1975, and her aunt Linda (Maiden) Schmidt was the queen in 1985. Chuck served on the fair board for nine years....
The wheat market is hunting for a mandate. The highest price of the summer to date is now well more than a month back, on July 23 for Chicago December futures at $9.47 per bushel, and July 20 for white wheat delivered in Portland at $9.05. This week's Chicago is around 89 cents lower and Portland is down about 42 cents. The chart pattern is a (relatively) slow decline in a 20-25 cent range. It is sometimes useful to look at the wheat market as if it is an independent creature with emotions, motivations and ideas. Right now, the crittur is wan-...

ANIMAL CONTROL CODE WAITSBURG - Last week, the Waitsburg City Council discussed changes to the Animal Control Code. The code is in draft form and suggested updates include turning outstanding fees over to collections. Also, City Administrator Randy Hinchliffe said the Humane Society will now act as animal control within the city. The cost should be similar to what the city paid to have an animal control officer - a position that was eliminated months ago. The council also set fees for nuisance dogs to $100, $200 and $300 per offense, per dog....
