    What are some of the legal and political concerns of coffee producers and growers?

    Posted by admin on March 1st, 2010 and filed under growers | 1 Comment »

    Doing a report on marketing and need information on politics

    Fair trade vs. free trade. There are criticisms of both methods. The intentions of fair trade are good but the local governments, who usually are very currupt because they are undeveloped countries, use it to exploit the growers and workers and don’t actually pay them fair wages or use the funds to help them at all. With free trade, some people say the corporations are exploiting the growers and workers. Good luck with your paper.

    How do the rules of the World Trade Organisation affect LEDC coffee growers?

    Can you please not put words normal people wouldnt know

    Coffee beans are more abundant in other areas. They can make it cheaper and import it in the US because of the World Trade Organization. This means the LEDC coffee growers would not have a monopoly. Their prices cannot compete with that of the other countries. Therefore, the World Trade Organization is put LEDC to an economic loss.

    Orange growers often spray water on their trees to protect the fruit in freezing weather?

    Posted by admin on February 25th, 2010 and filed under growers | 1 Comment »

    Explain how the energy of water to ice phase transition could provide protection to fruit from freezing weather.

    It provides insulation to protect the fruit. When it snows, the snow
    crystals perform the same way. This is why snow should be allowed
    to melt from plants as the temperature rises, and not shaken off to
    leave the plants vulnerable to the frost.

    What was Crisphead lettuce renamed in the 1920’s after growers started shipping it packed in ice?

    Posted by admin on February 23rd, 2010 and filed under growers | 2 Comments »


    From Wikipedia:

    Crisphead, also called Iceberg, which form tight, dense heads that resemble cabbage. They are generally the mildest of the lettuces, valued more for their crunchy texture than for flavour. Cultivars of iceberg lettuce are the most familiar lettuces in the USA. The name Iceberg comes from the way the lettuce was transported in the US starting in the 1920s on train-wagons covered in crushed ice, making them look like icebergs.

    What would be the economic and political effects of eliminating cotton subsidies to US cotton growers?

    Posted by admin on February 21st, 2010 and filed under growers | 1 Comment »

    On both the international and domestic levels.

    You can expect to see the cost of clothing and everything made from cotton to go sky high just as the cost of everything else has gone sky high due to the cutting of subsidies.

    Obtaining a growers permit for growing medical marijuana?

    Posted by admin on February 17th, 2010 and filed under growers | 3 Comments »

    My fiance and I are moving to southern oregon in a month and we are interested in growing and selling medical marijuana legally to medical marijuana clinics in Portland. Can anyone tell me what the lisensure process is and any other details would be very helpful.
    Neither of us are users, we are just very interested in finding a way to bring in more income.

    The Department of Human Services manages the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act. See the OMMA Handbook below beginning at page 4. There is no mention of clinics.
    * The Act permits a grow operation to concurrently contract and supply up to four users.
    * Federal law prohibits growing, possession, transportation, and probably even thinking about marijuana. Oregon cannot override the feds.
    * The contracted users are the legal owner of the plants, seeds, etc.

    I don’t see a recommended channel for finding users. A query to DHS is in order.

    What is the infuence of individual growers on the price of tea?

    None, or very little.

    The law of supply and demands is what it is all about.

    How long for Minature rose bush to grow large? Are they slow growers?

    Posted by admin on February 13th, 2010 and filed under growers | 6 Comments »


    well, let me give u some great advice for these wonderful plants! first, they react nicely to pruning. second, they grow at a fast rate! now for the good stuff…… when it starts to bud cut the top two inches off the plant..even the new buds… and in the next day or so it’ll replace everything u’ve cut off with new buds…..i have hundreds on mine that i’ve had for three years now (but it don’t take that long for this to happen)…..do this about once a month and u’ll have a rose bush full of blooms by aug. or so! it don’t need to be fertilized either! trust me, i usually get a new one for the landscape every valentines day and everyone reacts the same way. good luck!
