NEASA’s view on Expropriation Without Compensation: We believe that expropriating the property of any private business owner or any citizen, through the EWC Bill (i.e., transfer of ownership, shares or stocks) will be devastating to, not only those business owners, but in effect their employees, investors and the economy in its whole.

The most important soil health indicators are soil organic matter and soil organic carbon, soil pH, bulk density, soil biology, cation exchange capacity, available water capacity, soil texture, soil porosity, soil aggregate stability and hydraulic conductivity.

Die wêreldwye beweging waarvolgens hoofsaaklik plantaardige hulpbronne in die menslike dieet ingesluit moet word ten koste van dierlike produkte is elitisties, sê ’n voedingskundige.

Die toestand van die paaie in die Vrystaat was een van die groot besprekingspunte tydens Vrystaat Landbou (VL) se jaarkongres. Vrystaat Landbou (VL) gaan “baie binnekort” ’n besluit neem oor moontlike regsoptrede teen die staat omdat hy versuim om die gehawende provinsiale paaie in stand te hou, sê mnr. Francois Wilken, nuut herverkose president van Vrystaat Landbou.

 

The SA Reserve Bank’s monetary policy committee kept the benchmark interest rate at record lows of 3.5% on Thursday. The decision, which was unanimous, was in line with market expectations predicting the bank would keep rates steady.

By 2030, the planet will be generating at least 5bn tonnes of poo each year, with the vast majority being deposited by livestock. 80% of farms in the Netherlands already producing more cow dung than they can legally use as fertiliser, and China resorting to drastic measures to try to reduce the amount of manure being discharged into rivers, this is a major environment and health challenge.

“Die aannames wat verskeie ekonome en batebestuurders gemaak het na die aankondiging van die ekonomiese groeikoers vir die tweede kwartaal twee weke gelede dat die regering se begrotingstekort en sy skuldlas in verhouding tot die Bruto Binnelandse Produk (BBP) verminder kon word, is nou as onrealisties bewys,” sê Fanie Brink, 'n onafhanklike landbou-ekonoom.

Lekker reën het weer gesorg vir baie groot glimlagte op ons boere se gesigte, want die mooi oes wat daar tans op die lande is, is weer lekker gevoed. Die ouer boere gebruik mos altyd die gesegde “die judge sit in September” as hulle na die oes verwys wat op die lande staan, en oor die vooruitsigte vir ’n groot, medium of klein oes praat.

But meat consumption in the U.S. is likely to undergo a noticeable shift over the next decade as production of beef and pork grows and prices decline. USDA baseline projections, which provide a longrun view of the U.S. farm sector, show that production of beef and pork will expand steadily between 2016 and 2025, driven by lower feed costs and strong meat demand domestically and abroad.

A localisation plan, announced by Department of Trade and Industry Minister Ebrahim Patel in May 2021, proposed that South African businesses should replace 20% of their imported goods with locally-produced substitutes within five years.

It’s been a difficult season for onions, which is yet another crop affected by the heavy rain in January and February in Limpopo Province. This region currently supplies 84% of South Africa's onions, the Brits region (Northwest Province) bringing up another 12% and 3% from the Free State

Feedlot studies in the US demonstrated that a 10% improvement in average daily gain (ADG) as a result of a 7% increase in appetite improved profitability 18%, whereas a 10% improvement in feed efficiency returned a 43% increase in profits. By improving feed efficiency, farmers contribute to a more sustainable and profitable production system.

Een van die grootste bekommernisse globaal, is waar en hoe die wêreld se bevolking teen 2050 en daarna gevoed gaan word te midde van talle uitdagings. Die VN se Voedsel- en Landbou-organisasie het ‘n verslag vrygestel, naamlik: “The future of food and agriculture – alternative pathways to 2050” waarin verskeie alternatiewe maniere geïdentifiseer is oor hoe om die bogenoemde kwessie aan te pak.

The macadamia tree, Macadamia integrifolia, is considered an ‘ecological giant’ in commercial agriculture in the horticultural sector. This may be ascribed to its efficiency to optimise water consumption, sequester carbon from the atmosphere, absorb phosphates and recycle organic waste material.

Ná dekades waarin staal en beton die gewildste boumateriale vir wolkekrabbers en ander groot geboue was, is hout weer besig om van sy vervloë gewildheid terug te wen. Dit is deels te danke aan die ontwikkeling van sogenaamde oorkruis-gelamineerde hout (cross-laminated timber of CLT), wat in blokke vervaardig word deur lae dun hout oorkruis op mekaar vas te gom.

Navorsers by die Kentucky-stasie het ’n proef uitgevoer met verskalwers wat individueel gevoed is en wat geen Se, anorganiese Se (natriumseleniet) of organiese Se (SelPlex®) ontvang het teen die 3 mg/hd/daaglikse skaal. Meer Se is gevind in heelbloed uit die nek-aar, rooi bloedselle en ’n lewerweefsel-biopsie van die kalwers wat ’n vorm van Se ontvang het as kalwers wat natriumseleniet ontvang het.

Accelerating demand for renewable biodiesel fuels is further squeezing tight soybean supplies and pushing soybean oil futures prices to their highest levels in nearly a decade. Energy companies have announced plans to increase their biofuel capacity twofold to fivefold by 2030, using soybean oil as a major feedstock.

South Africa has experienced fuel-price hike upon fuel-price hike in 2021, and there seems to be no end in sight. The R18.15 inland price per litre of Petrol 93 reflects an increase of 22% when compared to September 2020 – when one litre of this fuel type cost R14.89.
