Griggs) Subject: Re: Erosion indicators Peter, The Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerlly SCS) of USDA is currently working through an evaluation of its Conservation Technical Assistance program. One of the main facets is the use of a composite soil quality index. The person responsible for this index is: Ray Sinclair USDA-NRCS 100 Centennial Mall North, Room 152 Lincoln, NE 68508-3866 (402) 437-5423 and FAX (402) 437-5336 EPIC, the Natural Resource Inventory (NRI), and other management databases are the sources for the specific parameters (indicators) related to erosion. Hope this is helpful, Ray >Hi all, >We are developing a series of indicators for land degradation and >whilst we can use algorithms from EPIC and Perfect (for example), we are >trying to get hold of some simplified code for erosion.

Aquacultural Simulation Models (Kelly-Anne Lively <livelyka@tuns.ca>)



Date: Mon, 12 Aug 96 13:08:56 -0300 From: Kelly-Anne Lively <livelyka@tuns.ca> Subject: Aquacultural Simulation Models Hello Everyone, My name is Kelly-Anne Lively and I am a graduate student at the Technical University of Nova Scotia. I am new to your discussion list and very new to aquacultural simulation modelling. Although I realize that this is not a purely aquaculture related discussion group I thought many of the discussions might be related. The project I am involved with is the creation of a simulation/forecasting production model for a commercial cold water mollusc farm and the company has little to no data available. Right now I am still in the very early stages of collecting literature on this or related subjects and would sincerely appreciate any input on materials that I should look into reading. Thank You, Kelly-Anne

RE: Raspberries molding? (David Donaldson <davidd@sea.ar.ispnet.com>)



Date: Thu, 22 Aug 1996 20:55:43 -0500 From: David Donaldson <davidd@sea.ar.ispnet.com> Subject: RE: Raspberries molding? Wait til next year. You really should remove this year's berries so your plants will put up new canes. You should also cut the top of the bare root plant off at ground level when you plant. This prevents fruit from forming the first year. The new canes that grow this summer will bear fruit next year. The canes you are picking will die later this fall. David While I have your attention, want to know how to make a small fortune in farming? Start with a large fortune and KNOW WHEN TO QUIT!!! ---------- From: Mark Becker[SMTP:beckerm@CRIS.COM] Sent: Friday, August 23, 1996 7:22 PM To: Multiple recipients of list GARDENS Subject: Re: Raspberries molding? David Donaldson wrote: > As a producer of raspberries, I'm wondering if David or any one else out there can tell me if the raspberries I got from Park Seed will ever produce the kind of rb's we dream of. These bare root plants arrived in June and I planted them per directions, plenty of leaf mold, pine bark mulch and well dug soil. They are healthy and bug free and get about 6 hours of sun a day, perhaps a bit more. They have had lots and lots of rain and are producing a few ripe berries every day. Although the berries taste good they don't taste great. I pick them when they go dark red, but before the squirrels and birds go after them? Will they get better next year? Do they need more sun? less water? more time on the bush? Should I replace them with blackberries? can I grow blackberries near raspberries? -- Mark Becker beckerm@cris.com

Newcomer (Emily Schwalen <etschwalen@ucdavis.edu>)



Date: Wed, 28 Aug 1996 18:44:18 -0700 (PDT) From: Emily Schwalen <etschwalen@ucdavis.edu> Subject: Newcomer Dear colleagues, I am a new subscriber to the list. Areas of Interest: Agricultural NonPoint Source Pollution, esp. Water Pollution Modelling. Applications of models to constructed wetland/ design. Ag landscape modelling via GIS. Work mainly with AGNPS, CREAM, and originally authored models of wetlands in C, also work with ARCINFO and GRASS. Currently refining a patch model of herbicide fate in wetland plants to later be developed on the landscape scale. I'm interested in hearing from anyone working with landscape models, especially in the arena of environmental fate of ag chemicals. Thanks.
