5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, JULY 11, 2016 USDA buys up more surplus cranberries Large inventory still remains, lowering prices By DON JENKINS Capital Press AP Photo/Ben Margot Visitors look at Cannabis indica marijuana plants on loan from Dark Heart Nursery as part of the “Altered State: Mari- juana in California” exhibit at the Oakland Museum of California in Oakland, Calif. Set against the backdrop of a Califor- nia ballot measure in 2016 to legalize marijuana’s recreational use, the exhibition features artwork, political documents and posters, scientific and interactive displays meant to provoke questions and conversations about pot. California pot exhibit aims for debate on provocative plant By KRISTIN J. BENDER Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. — It’s known as Mary Jane, ganja, Chronic and even the sticky icky and has been featured in countless movies, includ- ing one that warned of its dan- gers, “Reefer Madness.” Now, marijuana is the sub- ject of a contemporary history and science exhibit. “Altered State: Mari- juana in California,” a one- of-its-kind museum exhibi- tion focusing on the topic, is open through the summer at the Oakland Museum of California. Set against the backdrop of a California ballot mea- sure this year asking voters to legalize marijuana’s recre- ational use, the exhibition fea- tures artwork, political docu- ments and posters, scientiic displays, and interactive and multimedia exhibits all meant to provoke questions and con- versations about the provoca- tive plant. “We have designed an open and participatory expe- rience to engage anyone who has an opinion or wants to learn more about the com- plex issues and information AP Photo/Ben Margot A confessional is set up where visitors are invited to give their views on marijuana if they knew they could remain anonymous, as part of the “Altered State: Marijuana in California” exhibit at the Oakland Museum of California in Oakland, Calif. Posted on the wall surrounding the con- fessional are some of the responses received. about this topic,” said Asso- ciate Curator of Natural Sci- ences Sarah Seiter. “We’re interested in pre- senting a forum for all sides of deep community conver- sations about marijuana, its history, politics, culture and impacts on our state,” Seiter said. The exhibit comes at a time when 35 states already have medical marijuana laws on the books and four states and Washington, D.C., have legalized weed for recre- ational use. It is organized into 10 different areas of focus — Cannabis Science, Medi- cal Marijuana, Proitable Pot, Sacred Ganja, Criminal Dope, Creative Grass, Evil Weed, Politically Loaded, Youth and Weed, and Recre- ational Reefer. It was a two- year project with about 100 collaborators. “Weed has a lot of fans,” Seiter said. “We didn’t want to open ourselves up to crit- icism. We wanted to do our homework.” Highlights of the exhi- bition include live and pre- served specimens of canna- bis on loan to the museum, a walk-in installation by artist Cybele Lyle that alters view- ers’ perspectives of space and time, and a “Cannabis Con- fessional” that allows vis- itors to share their private, anonymous thoughts about marijuana. “All of us as individuals and as staff have very per- sonal and emotional reac- tions to pot,” said Lori Foga- rty, the museum’s director. “I think a lot of that depends on where you are in your life and your own personal experi- ences. What we were striving to do is move the conversation beyond those purely emo- tional reactions to a broader understanding.” The exhibition runs through Sept. 25. The U.S. Department of Agriculture will spend $27.5 million on cranberry concen- trate, buying a fraction of the surplus berries that are sup- pressing prices. The purchase of the val- ue-added product will soak up 30 million pounds, or 300,000 barrels, of cranberries, accord- ing to the industry’s Cranberry Marketing Committee, which announced the purchase in a press release June 29. “We’re pleased to hear that. Certainly when you have an inventory of 7 million barrels, it’s nice to have some help get- ting rid of that,” Washington cranberry grower Malcolm McPhail said July 1. Total U.S. production in 2015 was about 8.4 mil- lion barrels, according to the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service. The cranberry surplus has hovered around 90 percent in recent years, swelled partly by a bumper crop of nearly 9 million barrels in 2013. Farm- ers have seen prices fall every year since 2009. The average price growers received in 2014 was $30.90 per 100-pound barrel. The USDA is due to issue a report Wednesday on the 2015 crop. “Any sale of cranberries helps our growers,” Ocean Spray cooperative spokes- woman Kellyanne Dignan said. “From our perspective, we Don Jenkins/Capital Press Workers drag cranberries in from a bog during a 2015 harvest, on the Long Beach Peninsula in Washington. The U.S. Department of Agriculture will spend $27.5 mil- lion to soak up surplus cranberries and support prices.

The government distributes the food to schools, summer camps and charities. The USDA has been a regular customer for cran- berry farmers. The purchases included buying 680,000 bar- rels for $55 million around Thanksgiving 2014. A bipar- tisan group of federal law- makers from the ive cranber- ry-producing states lobbied for the purchase. “We are grateful for the continued support of the USDA and appreciate the pos- itive impact that this bonus buy has on our industry,” the marketing committee’s execu- tive director, Michelle Hogan, said in a written statement. A Massachusetts task force in mid-June made several rec- ommendations to help that state’s cranberry growers. The recommendations included providing grants, tax credits and low-interest loans to farmers to renovate bogs and increase yields. Other recommendations called for programs to pay farmers to convert bogs to wetlands to reduce production. Cranberries are the top farm crop in Massachusetts, the country’s second-leading cranberry producer. Washington, the ifth-lead- ing cranberry state after num- ber-three New Jersey and number-four Oregon, has 1,700 acres planted in cran- berries. “I think everybody is hanging in there,” McPhail said.
