Challenging conditions remain for Washington potato growers
Despite hopes
that the end of the pandemic is finally in sight, a host of challenges remain before the Washington potato industry. According to Chris Voigt, Executive Director for the Washington state Potato Commission, one of the biggest challenges is not in the field, but after the spuds are pulled during harvest. He claims that several Washington growers were offered a pricing contract this year that was roughly 3%-3.5% smaller than a typical year.
Pnwag.net quoted him as saying: “That’s tough for our growers. We’ve had a very difficult year financially due to the pandemic, and then faced with lower contract prices and potentially volumes, we don’t know where the volumes are, they’re kind of a little all over the board. Some folks will have increases, some folks will have decreases, do it’s a little unsettled.”
Hacking the Skin Microbiome to Fool Mosquitos and Prevent Malaria
News Highlights: Hacking the Skin Microbiome to Fool Mosquitos and Prevent Malaria.
If you were to choose the perfect repellent to protect American soldiers serving abroad in mosquito-prone areas, where many people are sick with malaria, a number of questions would come to mind. Does it work? Is it safe? What does it cost? How does it smell and feel on your skin? Are there any consequences for the environment?
Missing that list is the one question you would never ask, because it’s the one thing no commercial repellent can ever seem to provide: Will it provide long-term protection – say 14 consecutive days? Even the most concentrated bug sprays you can buy today don’t last much longer than a few hours, let alone two weeks.
A Warden, Wash., potato processing plant burned and caused evacuations for much of town Thursday night, Jan. 21, 2021.
A potato processing plant in the central Washington town of Warden burned down in a dramatic overnight fire Thursday.
By early Friday morning, emergency responders had evacuated nearly a third of the homes near the plant. Flames were licking a large tank of ammonia, and firefighters feared it might explode.
“This was a very large fire,” Kyle Foreman with the Grant County Sheriff’s Department said. “Certainly one of the top 10 in my career.”
The fire was called in around 5 p.m. Thursday. By nearly 9 p.m. came a Level 3 “Get Out Now” evacuation order, and officers began going door to door. Residents were allowed to go home about 1 a.m. Friday morning.
