Webinars for NW wheat growers ...but no one is searching fo r them What began as an education and awareness campaign about obesity, healthy lifesty le behaviors, and prevention and man agement of chronic disease has morphed into a wellness movement.

The Biggest Win ner will be making awards ($500, $300, $100) to the winners on April 2 in Hep pner, lone and Boardman and on April 3 in Irrigon. A spokesperson from the program said, “Lo cal food sellers and restau rateurs in each community have been supportive to the participants, making addi tional healthy food options available, and our thanks go out to them.” As a reminder to community members who would like to become more active, there are several activities in the near future that would be suitable to many levels o f physical ability.

A w e b -b a se d grow er-education sem i nar (webinar) on healthy soils, sponsored by the Idaho Wheat Commission, Oregon Wheat Commis sion and the Washington Grain Com m ission will held Tuesday, March 13 at 7 a.m. Ray Archuleta, a conservation agronomist w ith the Natural Resource C o n s e rv a tio n S e rv ic e (NRCS), will address how healthy soils save money. The webinar will last ap proximately one hour. Par ticipation is simple and free. Log onto the website at http://connect.cals.ui- daho.edu/wheat and enter your name as a participant. It requires Adobe Flash Player, which is installed on most computers. Archuleta believes that farming for the 21s1 century requires producers to follow nature’s template and that doing so will allow soils on the ranch or farm to function better. Healthy- functioning soils managed as an ecosystem w ill filtrate water and cycle nutrients and organic material more efficiently. This webinar will teach principles on how to improve soil func tion so landowners can save money on petroleum-based inputs. A second webinar will be held on Thursday, March 15, at 6:30 a.m. PDT. Juliet Marshall, Associate Professor of Agronomy and Cereals Cropping Systems at the University of Idaho, will address falling num ber?, specifically looking at questions around the 2011 crop. Wheat quality last harvest was called into question, with some variet ies showing low values in the falling numbers test. In this webinar, Marshall will explore the potential causes and the methods producers may be able to use to reduce the discounts associated with the expression of low- falling numbers. Both webinars will be recorded and made avail able at www.idahowheat. org. www.sykesrealestate.net • www.pendletonpropertys.com Affordable Building Lots Available! $8,500 - $10,500 - $11,500 - $14,500 - $15,000 - $17,500 - $22,500 $ 8 9 ,0 0 0 Hard to fin d sm all acreage c lo se to to w n .
