    Genetically altered rice variety yields for years without

    replantin 

    Winifred Bird | March 10, 2015

    Ten thousand years ago, China‘s ancient inhabitants harvested the grains of wild rice, a perennialgrass growing up to 15 feet tall in bogs and streams. The grains were small and red, maturing in

    waves and often shattering into the water. Their descendants transformed that grain into the high-

    yielding annual crop that today feeds half the world‘s population.Today, with the climate

    changing and far more land under intensive cultivation, rice farmers face a less certain future.An

    international network of scientists is working toward a radical solution: perennial rice that yields

    grain for many years without replanting.

    By crossing domesticated rice with its wild predecessors, they hope to create deep-rooted

    varieties that hold soils in place, require less labor, and survive extremes of temperature and

    water supply. Plant breeders have been trying to do the same for wheat, sorghum, and other

    crops for decades.With rice, the vision is finally nearing reality. Chinese scientists are preparing

    to release a variety that they say performs well in lowland paddies and, with more breeding

    work, could eventually thrive on marginal land as well.

    Still, progress is uneven due to differences in genetics, breeding techniques, growing conditions,

    and research interest for various grains. Perennial wheat  —  a key crop at the Land Institute  —  

    remains decades from yield parity with annual wheat, according to Crews. Perennial maize

    research is even farther behind. Among major staples, only perennial rice is ―approaching

    reality,‖ according to the proceedings of the 2013 FAO meeting.

    Rice production in ARMM gets boostMarch 10, 2015 12:01 am 

     by JULMUNIR I. JANNARALREPORTER

    COTABATO CITY, Maguindanao:  Rice production in the Autonomous Region in MuslimMindanao (ARMM) can more than double to 7.7 metric tons per hectare (mt/ha) with thesuccessful trial of Green Super Rice by the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF) inthe region.The GSR is part of DAF-ARMM‘s P3-million technology-driven programs designedto help increase the productivity of rice farmers in the region with the use of modern technologyin farming.ARMM Agriculture Secretary Macmod Mending Jr. said they are ―pushing for thecommercialization of this variety for increased productivity and better income for our farmers‖following a successful harvest at a 2-hectare demonstration farm in Maguindanao.

    The GSR was developed by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the InternationalRice Research Institute to be climate resilient and resistant to rice diseases such as sheath blight, bacterial leaf streak viruses and false smut, according to Mending.The GSR variety can lead tomore stable yield with lesser fertilizer and pesticide inputs, he added.ARMM currently ranks18th in terms of rice production in the country with a 3.1 mt/ha yield. Mending said they expect

    to increase this to 7.7 mt/ha with the introduction of GSR.The DAF-ARMM has distributed GSRseeds to 500 farmers during the rice farmers‘ field day and harvest festival hel d in SultanMastura town, Maguindanao last month.

    The technology-driven programs of DAF-ARMM include the Rice Crop Manager (RCM),Philippine Rice Information System (PRISM), and the Next Generation (NextGen) farmers.TheRCM is an Internet-based application that provides recommendations on nutrients, pest, weeds,and water management based on the variety of input and site-specific conditions.PRISM is asystem provides data and maps out rice growing areas affected by natural calamities and pestoutbreaks. Meanwhile, NextGen involves the introduction and adoption of high-yielding ricevarieties and hybrids, such as the GSR, with tolerance to biotic and abiotic strain in rice

     production.

    DAF-ARMM also provided a P1.6 million worth combined harvester to the farmers in the townof Sultan Mastura. The machine can simultaneously reap, harvest and thresh rice.―ARMM aimsto address the challenges on farming by taking advantage of new technologies that increasesfarm productivity, and making them available even to the poor farmers in the region,‖ Mendingsaid.

    State disburse K2.7m for rice production Posted in Business on March 10, 2015 by Online User

    KALONDE NYATI, Lusaka

    GOVERNMENT will soon disburse about K2.7 million to boost rice production in Nalolo and

    Limulunga in Western Province.This follows the recent shortlisting of 45 business applications

    for rice-related projects in the two districts under the Citizens Economic Empowerment

    Commission (CEEC) industrial cluster programme.Commerce, Trade and Industry permanent

    secretary Siazongo Siakalenge, however, said the disbursement awaits final approval of the

    shortlisted candidates and funding from the treasury.Of the total amount, K1.4 million will be

    disbursed to 21 beneficiaries in Nalolo while 24 beneficiaries will receive K1.3 million inLimulunga.

    ―In response to the constraints noted in the rice subsector of these districts, Government through

    CEEC has shortlisted 45 rice-related business applications for in Nalolo and Limulunga,‖ Mr

    Siakalenge said recently when he appeared before the parliamentary committee on Government

    assurances.He said the two districts have potential for primary rice production and value addition

     but undermined due to high cost of machinery for processing rice, inadequate skills and

    technology for rice seed production, and lack of irrigation facilities.

    Mr Siakalenge cited weak private and public sector support institutions, ineffective coordination

    and limited access to high cost appropriate finance as some of the challenges affecting the

    growth of the industry.He said Government‘s move to players in rice production will boost the

    sector and contribute to food security.Government has since formulated a national rice

    development strategy to develop the sector through value chain initiatives and strong stakeholder

     participation.

    resignation 

     New Delhi, Mar. 10 ANI8 hours ago

The allegations against him are of a very serious nature. Documents foundduring the probe refer to involvement of his wife and sister-in-law. The nature of allegations areof a very serious nature and most direct," Singhvi told the media.

    'It is a matter of shame that the probe documents refer to the adulteration of rice. Millers suppliedthis rice to Chhattisgarh public distribution system. They mixed good rice with bad rice. Can

    there be anything more deplorable than taking commission on this? The Chhattisgarh CM shouldresign,' he added.Singhvi further said that Dr. Singh had now joined Madhya Pradesh ChiefMinister Shivraj Singh Chouhan in 'resisting' a probe into alleged scams.

    'This is the Chhattisgarh CM who talked about zero tolerance with respect to corruption but is

    now silent. The CM of his neighboring State, Madhya Pradesh, is resisting inquiry with the sameferocity, into the Vyapam scam. It is the story of two states, both ruled by the BJP, whose CMsare resisting inquiries into big scams against them,' he said.'This is an extremely serious matter.In both cases there is complicity with culpability. The PM should show he can match action withwords. Raman Singh is known as 'Chawal Baba', and in his state, rice is adulterated. What can beworse than this?' he added.

    Earlier, the Chhattisgarh Police Anti-Corruption Bureau raided the state Civil SuppliesCorporation offices and reportedly recovered around Rs 3.5 crore. The authorities also seizedseveral documents that named many top functionaries of the state as the scam beneficiaries.  http://www.newkerala.com/news/2015/fullnews-29565.html

    GREENPEACE CO-FOUNDER SUPPORTS GMO GOLDEN RICE

     published by Asianpost on Tue, 03/10/2015 - 20:17

    A Vancouver-based eco-crusader is raising the heckles offarmers across Asia as he mounts a campaign to promote agenetically modified variety of rice in the Philippines andIndia.The so-called 'Golden' rice is a genetically engineered(GE) rice variety that has been developed by industry to produce pro-vitamin A (beta-carotene). Its proponents havehyped GE 'Golden' rice as a high-tech, quick-fix solution tovitamin A deficiency , which is prevalent in developingcountries and can lead to blindness. 

    But Greenpeace says that is all hype and that the rice is environmentally irresponsible, posesrisks to human health, and could compromise food, nutrition and financial security.Ironically the person behind the Allow Golden Rice Campaign is Dr Patrick Moore, who co-foundedGreenpeace and the quit the organization in 1986 saying the eco-group no longer cares about people and that it had become more interested in politics than science.Greenpeace says Dr Mooreis a ―paid spokesman for the nuclear industry, the logging industry, and genetic engineeringindustry‖ and that he ―exploits long gone ties with Greenpeace to sell himself as a speaker and pro-corporate spokesperson, usually taking positions that Greenpeace opposes.‖  

    One of the issues that Greenpeace opposes vehemently is Moore‘s current Allow Golden RiceCampaign which tours Philippines, Bangladesh, and India where vitamin A deficiency is a majorcause of child mortality. The Allow Golden Rice Society is actively campaigning for theapproval of Golden Rice so it can be delivered to the 200 million children who are deficient in

    vitamin A.―Two million children and many mothers die each year from a lack of this essentialvitamin. It is the greatest cause of child death today. Golden Rice is the obvious cure, but because it was created with genetic science Greenpeace and the anti-GMO movement ferventlyoppose it,‖ states Moore. 

    Moore said that on August 8, 2013, Greenpeace instigated the destruction of Golden Ricescientific field trials at the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines.―If GoldenRice were a cure for cancer, malaria, or Ebola, it would have been approved 10 years ago. In that

    time 20 million people, mostly children, have died.This is a crime against humanity,‖ stated Dr.Patrick Moore, leader of the campaign. ―All we ask is that Greenpeace and their allies make  anexception for Golden Rice to their opposition to GM crops‖, continued Dr. Moore. ―Millions oflives are at stake.‖ 

    Moore who just concluded his visit to the Philippines, moves on to Dhaka, Bangladesh andMumbai and New Delhi in India.Anti-GM crop activist Benedicto Sánchez wrote that in thePhilippines, Moore will find Negros Occidental inhospitable for his dubious gospel of―development.‖The province‘s Gov. Alfredo Marañon Jr. targetting Moore‘s tour said: ―We havean ordinance, they cannot come in. In Negros we are GMO-free, we are an organic island,‖ whileemphasizing the need for vigilance against such products.For its part, the Hotel and RestaurantAssociation of Negros Occidental said: ―We believe that there is still no adequate proof thatGMO, such as ‗golden‘ rice are safe for the environment or human health, and, as ourcommitment to our customers, we refuse to serve genetically modified rice in ourestablishments.‖ 

     No, Mr. Patrick Moore. You are persona non grata with the Negrenses wrote in the local paper.MASIPAG, a Filipino farmer-led network of people‘s organizations, NGOs and scientistshas launched a Facebook campaign to stop Moore‘s advicacy for Golden Rice.―We reiterate theopposition of Filipino farmers to genetically modified (GM) crops and we will register ourresistance against Golden Rice and other GM crops,‖ it states.―Our opposition to Golden Riceand other GM crops are founded on solid arguments and actual experiences of Filipino farmerson GM crops. Filipino farmers who have been planting GM crops suffered negative income,health problems and poisoned environment.‖ 

    In India, The pro-technology Modi government is desperate to introduce genetically modified

    (GM) crops. It is now holding closed-door meetings with the right wing-affiliated groups  –   theSwadeshi Jagran Manch (SJM) and the Bhartiya Kisan Sangh (BKS) –  to end their opposition tothe crops."The aim is to dispel fears about GM crops, so that the country can join the US, Chinaand Canada. GM crops are very important for India's agriculture growth," says a senioragriculture ministry official.Greenpeace India is already mobilizing its troops to debunk DrMoore‘s assertions. 

    ―GE 'Golden' rice does not address the underlying causes of Vitamin A Deficiency, which aremainly poverty and lack of access to a healthy and varied diet. This GE rice is a technological fixthat may generate new problems. For example, the single-crop approach of GE 'Golden' ricecould make malnutrition worse because it encourages a diet based solely on rice, rather thanincreasing access to a diverse diet of fruits and vegetables, considered crucial to combattingVAD and other nutrient deficiencies.‖

    PH rice inventory continues to shrink, report shows 

    Ronnel W. Domingo  

    Phili ppine Daily Inquirer  

    3:40 AM | Tuesday, March 10th, 2015 The country‘s total rice reserve shrank for the second month in a row to settle at 69 days‘ worthof consumption as of Feb. 1, nine days less than the buffer at the start of the year, according tothe Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).Inventory fell to 2.35 million tons from 2.66 milliontons on Jan. 1 as farmers prepare their fields for this year‘s dry season crop. Still, data from thePSA showed that the National Food Authority‘s stock of milled rice climbed to 530,000 tonsfrom 520,000 tons, although 97 percent of this was imported.As of Feb. 1, the NFA‘s stock wasstill at its mandated minimum volume, at 15 days‘ consumption.  

    Supplies held in commercial warehouses went down by 40,000 tons to 770,000 tons. Likewise,household stocks dropped by 280,000 tons to settle at 1.05 million tons.Households keep grains

    good for 31 days while commercial warehouses maintain supplies good for 24 days.Two weeksago, the NFA announced that it was preparing for the possible importation of 250,000 tons ofwell-milled rice from Thailand and Vietnam. The volume was valued at P9.5 billion.Answering acall for tenders, Thailand‘s Ministry of Commerce gave the best offer for 100,000 tons of well -milled, long-grain white rice with 15 percent brokens at $441 per ton.Thailand‘s offer was alsothe best for 100,000 tons with 25 percent brokens at $421 per ton.

    Vietnam Southern Food Corp. matched Thailand‘s prices for the remaining supplies of 150,000tons for each lot.The NFA has called for tenders in an effort to beef up its stock of the staplegrain in time for the domestic lean production months that start in July.In December, the Foodand Agriculture Organization said the Philippines‘ production of palay for the current crop year

    that would end in June 2015 was expected to ease by 0.4 percent to 18.8 million tons.The FAOsaid this was due to farm damage caused by Typhoon ―Ruby‖ as well as the farmers‘ fears of theEl Niño phenomenon.

    However, in its latest market monitoring report issued on March 5, the Agriculture MarketInformation System (Amis) has stopped giving updates on the probability of a prolonged droughtthis year while maintaining its assessment that conditions on rice production were ―favorable.‖Inthe previous report published in February, the Amis noted that the probability of the El Niñooccurring had climbed back to 70 percent, but atmospheric signs had yet to materialize.―[Thecriteria for an] El Niño, however, have not been met because these conditions have not been in place long enough, and certain atmospheric features have not yet appeared,‖ the Amis said. ―A

    strong event is not expected, in any case.‖

    Specialised rice growing areas to be formed in Mekong Delta 

    The establishment of five new specialised rice-growing areas is underway in the Mekong Delta

    to meet the growing demand of domestic and international markets, said Le Thanh Tung from the Department of Plant Cultivation under the Ministry of Agricultural and Rural Development. 

    The five areas include the Ca Mau Peninsula, the TaySong Hau (western Hau River) area, the Tu Giac LongXuyen region, alluvia soil along the Tien and HauRivers, and the Dong Thap Muoi region cultivatingspecific rice varieties in large-scale fields inaccordance with their conditions.According to theDepartment, the Mekong Delta should review andfocus on ensuring a variety of rice types to promotehigh-quality and high-yield production.The Mekong

    Delta region, the nation‘s largest granary, currentlyhas a large-scale rice field area of around 100,000 hectares.The rice field area in the MekongDelta will be expanded to 800,000 hectares by 2020, equal to 20 percent of the annual rice- producing area of the region and producing an output of 4.5 million tonnes of brown rice,according to Vinafood 2.VNA

    Rice Shipments From Vietnam Climbing on Lower Prices,

    China  byDiep Ngoc Pham 10:43 PM EDT ,March 9, 2015

    (Bloomberg) -- Rice exports from Vietnam, the world‘s third-largest shipper, will probably

    rebound this year as lower prices boost demand, while competition with Thailand keeps the gain

    to single digits, according to the government.―The Chinese market will definitely become active

    again after quiet periods late 2014 and early this year,‖ said Tran Tuan Anh, deputy minister ofindustry and trade. Competitive prices, suitable varieties, and geographic proximity in particular

    to China, are Vietnam‘s advantages over Thailand, the top shipper. Exports may rise ―less than 

    10 percent‖ in 2015, he said in an interview in Hanoi on March 4.Global output is set to be near

    last year‘s record, and Thailand will ship more this year than any country ever, U.S. government

    data show.

    Futures fell to a four-year low in Chicago, helping cut food costs to the lowest since 2010. WhileThailand‘s export prices will be pressured as the country sells about 17 million metric tons instate reserves over the next two years, they have been higher than that of Vietnam, India andPakistan, the Thai Rice Exporters Association says.―While generally, Vietnamese rice costs less,Thailand does offer lower prices sometimes,‖ Anh said, without giving an estimate. Thailand is

    trying to increase access to Africa, where India and Pakistan also compete ―fiercely,‖ hesaid.Prices for Vietnam‘s double-water-polished milled-rice with 5 percent broken were quotedat $355 per ton, the lowest since July 2010 and $50 less than Thailand‘s 5 percent broken for theweek ending Feb. 10, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said in a report dated Feb. 12.

    Thai Prices

    The Thai variety was at $419 a ton on March 4, according to exporters association data. ChareonLaothamatas, president of the group, said on Feb. 3 that the price was about $405 to $410 andcompares with $355 in Vietnam, $370 in Pakistan and $380 in India. The sale of stockpiled ricewill continue to weigh on prices, Chareon said.Thailand‘s record stockpiles are the legacy of the

     previous government‘s rice- purchase policy. Yingluck Shinawatra‘s administration  spent $27 billion buying at guaranteed, above-market rates to aid farmers. She was ousted in May bymilitary leaders, who now plan to auction the grain.

    Futures traded at $10.53 per 100 pounds on the Chicago Board of Trade on Tuesday after plunging to $10.01 on Feb. 3, the lowest since July 2010.

    Vietnam Sales

    Exports from Vietnam dropped to 6.4 million tons in 2014 from 6.7 million a year earlier,General Statistics Office data show. Sales in the first two months of 2015 may reach 515,000

    tons, down 34 percent from a year ago, the office estimates.Shipments will pick up from thesecond quarter and bring the total this year to match or exceed last year‘s figure by ―a little bit,‖Anh said, without giving exact figures.Global milled production may decline to 474.6 milliontons in 2014-15 from an all-time high of 477.1 million tons a year earlier, according to theUSDA.

    Thai shipments will climb to 11 million tons in 2015 from 10.2 million tons last year, accordingto the Food & Agriculture Organization. India will export 8.2 million tons from 10 million tons,it said. China‘s imports may reach 4.3 million tons in 2014 -15 from 4.1 million, the USDAreport shows.Vietnam will also continue to count on demand from its traditional markets like thePhilippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia, Anh said. While the countries are trying to boost production and become self-sufficient, their efforts will take time and demand is still high thisyear, he said.

    Japan weather bureau raises chance of El Nino emerging by

    summer 

    TOKYO Tue Mar 10, 2015 1:26am EDT

    (Reuters) - Japan's weather bureau said on Tuesday that the possibility of an El Nino pattern

    forming by summer is higher than the 50 percent it projected in its previous monthly

    forecast.Normal weather patterns may continue, but there is higher chance of an El Nino, which

    is often linked to heavy rainfall in some regions and drought in others, emerging by summer, the

     bureau said.The El Nino weather pattern - a warming of sea-surface temperatures in the Pacific -

    can trigger drought in Southeast Asia and Australia, and floods in South America, hitting

     production of key foods such as rice, wheat and sugar.

     NOI –  Rice exports from Vietnam, the world‘s third-largest shipper, will probably rebound thisyear as lower prices boost demand, while competition with Thailand keeps the gain to singledigits, according to the government."The Chinese market will definitely become active againafter quiet periods late 2014 and early this year," said Tran Tuan Anh, deputy minister ofindustry and trade. Competitive prices, suitable varieties, and geographic proximity, particularlyto China, are Vietnam's advantages over Thailand, the top shipper. Exports may rise "less than10%" in 2015, he said in an interview. 

    Global output is set to be near last year's record, and Thailand will ship more this year than any

    country ever, US government data show. Futures fell to a four-year low in Chicago, helping cut

    food costs to the lowest since 2010. While Thailand's export prices will be pressured as the

    country sells about 17 million tonnes in state reserves over the next two years, they have been

    higher than that of Vietnam, India and Pakistan, the Thai Rice Exporters Association says.

    "While generally, Vietnamese rice costs less, Thailand does offer lower prices sometimes," Mr

    Tran said, without giving an estimate. Thailand is trying to increase access to Africa, where India

    and Pakistan also compete "fiercely," he said.Prices for Vietnam's double-water-polished milled-rice with 5% broken were quoted at US$355 per tonne, the lowest since July 2010 and $50 less

    than Thailand's 5% broken for the week ending Feb 10, the US Department of Agriculture said in

    a report dated Feb 12.

    The Thai variety was at $419 a tonne on March 4, according to exporters association data.

    Chareon Laothamatas, president of the group, said on Feb 3 that the price was about $405 to

    $410 and compares with $355 in Vietnam, $370 in Pakistan and $380 in India. The sale of

    stockpiled rice will continue to weigh on prices, Mr Chareon said.

    Exports from Vietnam dropped to 6.4 million tonnes in 2014 from 6.7 million a year earlier,

    General Statistics Office data show. Sales in the first two months of 2015 may reach 515,000

    tons, down 34% from a year ago, the office estimates.Shipments will pick up from the second

    quarter and bring the total this year to match or exceed last year's figure by "a little bit," Mr Tran

    said, without giving exact figures.

    Global milled production may decline to 474.6 million tonnes in 2014-15 from an all-time high

    of 477.1 million tonnes a year earlier, according to the USDA.Thai shipments will climb to 11

    million tonnes in 2015 from 10.2 million tonnes last year, according to the Food & AgricultureOrganization. India will export 8.2 million tonnes from 10 million tons, it said. China's imports

    may reach 4.3 million tonnes in 2014-15 from 4.1 million, the USDA report shows.Vietnam will

    also continue to count on demand from its traditional markets like the Philippines, Malaysia, and

    Indonesia, Mr Tran said. While the countries are trying to boost production and become self-

    sufficient, their efforts will take time and demand is still high this year, he said.

    Farm bill update: Medium grain rice and peanuts  Mar 9, 2015Bobby Coats Delta Farm Press  

     Editor's note: Bobby Coats is a professor, University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture 

    Medium grain rice 

    A number of questions have been asked about medium grain rice ARC/PLC program participation. The presentation at the following link provides some perspective on this issue.This

    article builds on our previous article where we looked at a simple comparison of expected PLCand ARC-CO payments for long grain rice, soybeans, corn, and wheat. The accompanying tablesto the presentation below provide real perspective on possible PLC (SCO  –  Not Included) andARC payments by county and years 2014-2018. Note the probabilities.I will restate: If one (forany number of reasons) is simply not going to use a farm bill decision aid and wants to gain anincreased understanding of their farm by farm and crop by crop options, this discussion may provide some insight into ARC-CO and PLC (SCO-Not Included) program options.

    One option is to use the Texas A&M and Missouri FAPRI ARC/PLC Evaluator for Generic Base

    Module or Decision Tool.This tool compares expected PLC and ARC-CO payments (the average

     payment across many possible future realizations of prices and yields) for a county of your choice. In

    the calculations, they use two key assumptions.

    • First, they assume that you would have a PLC Payment Yield equal to the default value assigned

     by FSA in the absence of a yield history.

    • Second, they assume expected prices equal to the latest FAPRI projections. 

    The output reflects only expected payments for PLC and ARC-CO. It should be noted, that choosing

    ARC-CO precludes one from purchasing the crop insurance Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO).

    Expected net SCO indemnities are not reflected in the output.

    Feds to California farmers: 'no water for you this year' 

    State water project looks to make minimal deliveries to growers

     Mar 8, 2015Todd Fitchette Western F arm Press  

    The Feb. 27 announcement of zero federal water to California farmers is another crushing blow

    to a state trying to gain economic traction and slow the bleeding of underground aquifers.For a

    second consecutive year the Bureau of Reclamation will allocate zero water to California farmers

    via the Central Valley Project (CVP). The zero allocation applies to all agricultural water users

    with federal contracts in California.In making its decision the Bureau of Reclamation also

    declared a ―Shasta-critical‖ year, meaning water contractors north of the Delta will not have

    irrigation water as the agency determines quantities to hold back for senior water rights holders

    and wildlife refuges in the Central Valley.

    For northern California rice growers this ―Shasta-critical‖ designation can signal less available

    water and forced fallowing of rice land, which doubles as habitat for migratory birds and other

    wildlife along the Pacific Flyway. 

    Rice plantings last year were reduced by about 25 percent, said Jim Morris, spokesman for theCalifornia Rice Commission.Farmers grow increasingly frustrated over decisions like this

     because data shows there was ample water in 2014 to supply minimal deliveries to growers

     based on previous dry years with similar or less water in the federal water system.Using a chart

    labeled ―doing less with more‖ Mike Wade, executive director of the California Farm Water

    Coalition illustrated this by showing that in 1992 nearly one million fewer acre feet of water was

    available in lakes Folsom and Shasta than there is today; that year agricultural contractors

    received 25 percent of their federal allotment.The short answer to that discrepancy can be seen in

    actions taken under the federal Endangered Species Act and the 1992 Central Valley Project

    Improvement Act, which over the years have throttled back agricultural access to water long-

    considered available to California farmers. 

    This was exacerbated in recent years with pumping restrictions from the California Delta region

    into San Luis Reservoir near Los Banos to protect fish species in the Delta. San Luis Reservoir

    was built in the 1960s to stabilize water deliveries south of the Delta and help provide irrigation

    water to millions of acres of farmland in the San Joaquin Valley.According to Wade, from Dec.

    15, 2014 through Jan. 26 the impacts of regulatory constrictions on Delta pumping meant that

    over 315,000 acre feet of water that could have been stored in San Luis Reservoir instead was

    allowed to flow out to sea.By comparison the 1992 federal surface water allocation to farmers

    was about 500,000 acre feet. 

    ―This is not the drought causing this problem,‖ Wade said. ―It‘s the regulators doing this.‖ Wade

    has consistently challenged the state‘s success at protecting fish as environmental regulations

    that went into effect decades ago to protect endangered fish still seem to not be working.Water

    shortages to districts like Westlands Water District, which covers 614,000 acres of land in Fresno

    and Kings Counties, has severely cut back the acreage of crops like processing tomatoes, melons,

    garlic, lettuce, broccoli, cabbage and cotton.It has also hurt the 100,000-plus acres of permanent

    crops grown in America‘s largest agricultural water district.Gayle Holman, spokesperson for

    Westlands Water District, said farmers there fallowed 220,000 acres –  over 340 square miles –  of

    farmland due to the Bureau of Reclamation‘s decision to curb agricultural water deliveries in

    California.

    ―Now we‘re looking at another zero allocation and anticipate that last year‘s figure of 220,000

    acres may go even higher,‖ Holman said.Westlands has federal contracts to provide water to 700

    family-owned farms averaging 875 acres in size that historically have produced more than 60

    different commodities.For senior water rights holders like Los Banos farmer Canon Michael this

    year‘s news, though  expected, still stings.―This is just horrible behavior on their part,‖ said

    Michael, who farms several thousand acres in the central part of the San Joaquin Valley.Last

    year‘s water shortage forced Michael to fallow about 1,000 acres of prime land that could have

    grown melons and other annual crops. 

    Michael is making cropping decisions for 2015 and expects to fallow at least what was left idle

    last year, though that number could grow as water availability is arguably worse than last

    year.Michael says he does not expect to receive the minimum 75 percent water allocation the

    federal government is mandated to provide him under terms of the water contract he has with

    them.Michael says he will likely focus on planting processing tomatoes and extra-long staple

    cotton. California tomato canneries say they want 15 million tons for their operations while ELS

    cotton prices have been positive, he said. 

    Along with the thousand acres left idle last year, Michael cut irrigation schedules to his alfalfa

    crop, leaving him with five cuttings instead of his typical seven.According to Michael, a decision

    earlier this year by State Water Board Executive Director Thomas Howard to stop pumping pulse

    flows from storm runoff into San Luis Reservoir killed any opportunity for the state to bank

    water and allocates it to farms.―Any pumping at all during these storms would have helped,‖

    Michael said.Howard‘s decision seems to fly in the face of the emergency drought declaration

    California Gov. Edmund G. Brown, Jr. signed last year that ordered state agencies to streamline

    water transfers and relax regulatory restrictions on Delta pumping into San Luis Reservoir. 

    California Citrus Mutual President Joel Nelsen said Howard‘s decision to halt pumping did not

    need to take place when it did and arguably should have been made by the full board, though the

    water board did grant Howard the authority to make such a decision if necessary.For the Friant

    Water Authority, which moves water along the San Joaquin Valley‘s east side from Chowchilla  

    to Bakersfield via the Friant-Kern Canal, the water they consistently rely upon has likewise dried

    up as the Bureau of Reclamation takes water otherwise earmarked for FWA and gives it to senior

    water rights holders elsewhere in the Valley.Friant saw it‘s first-ever zero allocation in 2014 and

    now faces a back-to-back allotment of no water.  

    According to FWA General Manager Ron Jacobsma the district is in worse shape this year

     because carry-over water is no longer available and groundwater resources are severely

    stressed.Last year over 200,000 acre feet of Friant water from Millerton Lake near Fresno was

    channeled down the San Joaquin River to the Mendota Pool to meet federal obligations with

    exchange contractors –  these are the senior-rights holders that includes Michael and others in his

    area.That move drained Millerton to less than 200,000 acre feet of storage today. Early 2015

    snow surveys reveal very little snowpack in the watershed that feeds Millerton, meaning the lake

    will suffer further as the year progresses. Its capacity is 520,000 acre feet. 

    Jacobsma predicts water prices for farmers able to find it could eclipse last year‘s prices, which

    according to reports exceeded $3,000 per acre foot to growers.Growers of permanent crops like

    tree nuts and citrus are particularly hard hit by this second year of zero allocation.Almond and

     pistachio growers saw lighter-than-expected harvests in part due to lack of water. Chilling hours

    for the crops were also thought to play a role in the shorter crops.Citrus growers too  –   in

    California many of these groves are served by FWA  –  expect considerably worse conditions in

    2015 as some have no groundwater. 

     Nelsen estimates that about 10,000 acres of California citrus was impacted by the zero allocation

    with upwards of 50,000 acres made vulnerable by short groundwater supplies.In a statement

    released by CCM, Nelsen wrote: ―Since 1992 over seven million acre feet of water has been

    transferred away from landowners in the southern San Joaquin Valley with no accountability as

    to the environmental successes achieved. Since 1992 those sourcing water from the Friant system

    have been paying additional dollars per acre foot for environmental enhancements with no

    accountability.

    The state of California has over 320 species listed as endangered and yet all the efforts have not

    led to one species being removed from the ESA list.‖During last year‘s report to county

    supervisors on the state of Fresno County agriculture, county Agricultural Commissioner Les

    Wright said the 2013 crop report revealed only a partial impact to county Ag values as the

    drought and water allocations primarily impacted growers on the western half of the county. 

    For the first time in modern history Fresno County‘s Ag value fell two years in a row from its

    record high in 2011. Because of water constraints, Wright expects his total Ag value  –   which

    typically has been the highest in the nation  –   to fall once again when 2014 numbers arecompiled.―We have to be the only state in the nation and the only nation on earth establishing

     policies that destroys the production of food,‖ said Nelsen.

    EDF Voices: People on the Planet 

    How a California rice farmer uses the market to protect

    wildlife - and boost profitsAnn Hayden / Published March 10, 2015 in Ecosystems 

    Meet John Brennan, a farm

    manager for the Knaggs Ranch in

    California‘s Central Valley who is

    exploring the latest market

    incentives to boost farm profits

    while protecting his land.―Farmers

    are environmentalists, too,‖

    Brennan says. ―Programs like this

    will help us fulfill our responsibilityto nature and to coming

    generations.‖It's all coming together

    on sprawling, water-soaked rice

    fields that are part of the 1,700-acre

    farm he has overseen for the past 10-plus years and co-owned of since 2011. 

    Exchange compensates farmers

    A project on Knaggs Ranch is helping to keep water on the fields during a time and at a volume

    critical to support salmon nurseries while providing beneficial habitat for water fowl and shore birds.By adjusting land management to benefit such species, Brennan is generating conservation

    outcomes that he hopes can be sold as a commodity to private and public investors through

    the Central Valley Habitat Exchange. Potential investors include state agencies seeking credits to

    meet mitigation requirements or restoration mandates.

    The region southwest of Sacramento was once dominated by marshes that flanked the

    Sacramento River and its tributaries and created vital seasonal floodplain habitat for waterfowl

    and fish such as the Chinook salmon. Only 5 percent of these floodplain habitats remain after a

    century of agricultural expansion and reservoir construction.Brennan has committed to the

    Exchange because he believes that compensating landowners for good management practicesand helping them diversify their income beyond just farming can be one of the best ways for

    agriculture to accommodate native species. He also believes that once other land managers learn

    of the program and its rewards, they‘ll get onboard, too.

    Adding carbon credits to the mix

    There may soon be yet another opportunity to levy market forces for the benefit of Knaggs

    Ranch.This spring, the California Air Resources Board is expected to approve the first crop-

     based standards for rice farmers to generate carbon credits in the state's cap-and-trade market. 

    Brennan hopes the program will help his farm earn new revenue as it reduces greenhouse gasemissions from its rice fields.

    With proven success in the field for  Habitat Exchanges as well as carbon markets, such programs

    are now ready to be scaled up to boost food production while maintaining profitable farms, a safe

    environment and healthy people.Agriculture accounts for about 10 percent of greenhouse gas

    emissions released in the United States today, and forward-looking farmers such as Brennan see

    an opportunity to help cut such pollution without hurting their bottom line.Such incentive-based

     programs "help us diversify our income beyond just farming," he says.

    Brantley Reminds Farm Bill Extended Deadlines

    Approach

     Now or never

    ENGLAND, AR -- USA Rice Federation Chairman Dow

    Brantley already updated yields and reallocated base acres

    for his Lonoke County, Arkansas farm, but he knows not

    everyone has done the same. He warns time is running

    out."USDA extended that deadline to March 31, and I doubt

    they'll extend it again," he said. "Rice growers need to get

    into their local Farm Service Agency (FSA) office, fill out

    the paperwork, and also make their ARC or PLC decision. I

    did it, it's done, and now I can get back to farming." 

    FSA officials point out that they are there to help growers understand all their choices as the

    deadlines approach."Delaying decisions will make things more difficult for growers and the

    Farm Service Agency as we approach the March 31 deadline," said Craig McCain, state

    executive director of the Louisiana FSA. "If growers are unsure of what to do, I encourage them

    to ask questions. County Offices are there to direct growers to available resources so they may

     become more comfortable with the decisions they need to make."

    McCain said sign-ups across the state are going well and that rice growers are coming in and

    making their elections, but he doesn't want people to wait any longer than necessary. Neither

    does Brantley."You just need to make the best choice you can with the information you have," he

    said. "These programs are there to help, and while the process can be intimidating, and you'regoing to have to live with the decisions you make today for the duration of this Farm Bill, just

    letting the deadline lapse is definitely not the right answer. Growers need to exercise their

    choices."Brantley added that in addition to getting help from local FSA offices, there are several

    decision aid tools available online, and one he found personally helpful was Texas

    A&M'sdeveloped by Dr. Joe Outlaw and his team.

    WASDE Report Released

    WASHINGTON, DC -- The changes made to the U.S. 2014/15 rice supply and use balances thismonth are confined to forecast exports, ending stocks, and prices. The 2014/15 all rice export

     projection is raised 1 million cwt to 104 million. Long-grain exports are forecast at 72 million,

    up 1 million from last month based on larger expected exports to markets in the Western

    Hemisphere. The combined medium- and short-grain export projection is unchanged at 32

    million. All rice ending stocks are projected at 40.9 million cwt, down 1 million from a month

    ago-all in long-grain rice.

    Long-grain rice ending stocks are projected at 27.1 million cwt, thelargest since 2010/11. Medium- and short-grain ending stocks are

    unchanged at 11.5 million. The 2014/15 long-grain season-average rice

     price range is projected at $12.20 to $12.80 per cwt, up 30 cents on each

    end of the range. The all combined medium- and short-grain season-

    average price range is forecast at $18.10 to $18.90 per cwt, up 20 cents

     per cwt on each end of the range. The California medium- and short-

    grain rice price is increased 30 cents per cwt to $19.80 to $20.80 per cwt.

    The Other States medium- and short-grain rice price is unchanged at

    $14.80 to $15.40 per cwt.

    Global 2014/15 rice ending stocks are lowered 0.6 million tons primarily due to increase in

    consumption. Total supplies for 2014/15 are lowered 37,000 tons as the increase in production is

    insufficient to offset the decrease in beginning stocks. Global production is increased 300,000

    tons based primarily on increases for India (+500,000) and Sri Lanka (+150,000), partially offset

     by a reduction for Thailand(-350,000). The increase in India is based on an expected larger Rabi

    crop. Sri Lanka rice production is raised because of an expected increase in plantings and yield

    for the Maha crop.

    Thailand 2014/15 rice crop is lowered 350,000 tons to 19.15 million due to a reduction in dry-

    season plantings resulting from an on-going drought and a reduction in irrigation water

    availability concentrated in the Central Region. Thailand 2014/15 crop would be the smallestsince 2006/07. The reduction in 2014/15 global beginning stocks is due primarily to reductions

    for Burma and Malaysia. Global rice consumption (includes residual) is 500,000 tons with the

    largest increases for China and India. Global rice exports are raised 400,000 tons due mostly to

    increases for Burma, India, and the United States. Global imports are raised for China, Saudi

    Arabia, and Venezuela.
