Scaling Up Fruit And Vegetable Production: Is Machinery Sharing A Possibility?, Georgeanne M. Artz, Linda Naeve

Professional Agricultural Workers Journal

Abstract

Interest in local food is growing among consumers and small-scale farmers, as evidenced by the significant increase in the number of farmers’ markets, community-supported agriculture arrangements, and food hubs, in the last ten years. To meet the demand for locally grown fruits and vegetables, many small-scale farmers are considering scaling up their production. However, to remain profitable they need to balance production with increased labor costs and the need for specialized machinery. A study conducted in Iowa worked with five groups of farmers who shared different pieces of machinery. With help from the researchers, they developed sharing agreements and …

Seasonal Prevalence Of Shiga-Toxin Producing Escherichia Coli On Beef Cattle Farms In Eastern Arkansas, Tiffani Elizabeth Breckenridge

Student Theses and Dissertations

Sixty-five million U.S. citizens become ill from foodborne bacteria annually; 73,000 of these bacterial illnesses are caused by Shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157. Cattle are a reservoir of STEC; therefore, STEC contamination of beef is a significant food safety concern in the U.S. On-farm STEC control measures may reduce the incidence of contamination in processing facilities. The objective of this study was to determine prevalence of O157 and non-O157 STEC on beef cattle farms in eastern Arkansas, and to possibly identify farm management and/or environmental risk factors associated with STEC prevalence in cattle. Rectal swab samples (10 cows per …
