This book was released on 2005 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ohio ranks as the fifth highest volume producer of maple syrup in the United States, contributing on average $2.5 million to Ohio's economy. Despite over 90 years of service by Ohio State University (OSU) Extension, little information is available concerning the Ohio maple syrup industry. Initial surveys conducted at OSU Extension maple syrup education programs revealed that 82% of attendees relied on OSU Extension programs to stay current with maple production practices, further justifying the need for information on production practices and producer demographics. In 2004, a detailed survey was sent to all known Ohio maple syrup producers with the goal of elucidating relationships among production factors and demographic characteristics. Eighty-seven percent (n = 909) of the surveys were returned, with 68% (n = 620) of the returns indicating they were active maple syrup operations. Based on these surveys, the maple syrup industry in Ohio is best characterized as a very traditional enterprise of small, second generation, family-owned sugarbushes, that predominately utilize bucket collection systems. However, there are important differences among demographic groups. For example, chi-square analyses suggest that Amish producers in the state have significantly larger sugaring operations (>250 taps), utilize bucket collection systems rather than more advanced tubing systems, and are younger than non-Amish producers (P 0.05). Amish producers are also less likely to attend OSU Extension programming than their fellow non-Amish producers, while those older ( 53 years of age) non-Amish producers with large operations utilizing tubing collection systems were more likely to attend (P

Download or read book Local Food Systems Concepts Impacts and Issues written by Steve Martinez and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive overview of local food systems explores alternative definitions of local food, estimates market size and reach, describes the characteristics of local consumers and producers, and examines early indications of the economic and health impacts of local food systems. Defining ¿local¿ based on marketing arrangements, such as farmers selling directly to consumers at regional farmers¿ markets or to schools, is well recognized. Statistics suggest that local food markets account for a small, but growing, share of U.S. agricultural production. For smaller farms, direct marketing to consumers accounts for a higher percentage of their sales than for larger farms. Charts and tables.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Temperate broadleaved trees grow in very different ecosystems in the northern and southern hemispheres, but are also found extensively in many tropical and subtropical mountain areas. A wide range of non-wood products are derived from temperate broadleaved trees, and their description is organized in this volume according to the part of the tree from which they are obtained (whole tree, foliage, flowers, etc.). This information is presented in order to raise awareness on, and assist in identifying, opportunities for the management and production of non-wood products from temperate broadleaved trees. The intended audience of this publication ranges from interest groups in the forest, agriculture and rural development sectors to conservation agencies in developed and developing countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: S2In the spring of 1967, a vacuum pump was installed at a sugarbush located in Underhill, Vermont. This work proceeded in two phases: an individual-tree study designed to determine if sap could be drawn out of a tree in sufficient quantities to account for large yield differences; and a large-scale study of the effects of sustained levels of vacuum on yields from a nearly commercial-size network of tubing.
