Twenty-eight pounds! That’s how big St. Matthew the Apostle student Macyn Bertucci’s cabbage grew. “It was huge! I was really surprised,” said Macyn.
Macyn’s dad said he was surprised, too! “She brought home a sprout in a cup – about an inch long. What was so encouraging was how fast it started to grow,” said Neil Bertucci.
It started out as a class project for the New Orleans area youngster, but quickly became a project Macyn and her parents took very seriously. “We don’t grow anything at home, but Macyn wanted to plant it. She was all into it. So we went to the hardware store, got potting soil, a 20” box, planted it and she watered it every day,” added Neil.
The program is part of the 3rd grade Cabbage Program initiated by Bonnie Plants. In Louisiana, 218 schools, 733 3rd grade classes and 15,608 students participated in the 2016-2017 year program.
“It gets kids outside and hopefully helps them understand where their food comes from,” said Bonnie Plants representative Foster Reeves. “It’s something
they can look at and say, “Hey, I grew this. It also introduces some kids to planting gardens.”
Macyn’s dad added, “For someone her age, it was great to be part of the process and responsible for something. She really embraced it.”
Macyn and her parents researched when to harvest the cabbage, weighed it, measured it, cooked it and ate it! The cabbage was so large, they even shared some of it with family members.
Macyn said she’d like to try growing something else one day. “It was fun to grow it!” she added.
Macyn was awarded a $1,000 savings bond from Bonnie Plants for her success.
And while a lot of students’ cabbages did not survive, the now 4th grader was encouraged to take care of it as she watched the leaves grow larger and larger.
“We were having her birthday party and she was showing her cabbage to family and friends and no one could believe how big it was! People would say in disbelief, ‘Is that y’all’s cabbag?’” added Neil.

Louisiana Agriculture & Forestry Today
Agriculture and Forestry Commissioner Mike Strain, D.V.M., said the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has designated two parishes in Louisiana as primary natural disaster areas because of damage and losses caused by flooding from Hurricane Harvey that occurred from August 26 through October 10, 2017. This means,
some Louisiana farmers could be eligible for assistance.
Farmers in Avoyelles and Catahoula parishes are eligible for low interest emergency (EM) loans from USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA), provided eligibility requirements are met.
Strain said farmers in eligible areas have eight months from the
date of the declaration to apply for loans to help cover part of their actual losses. FSA will consider each loan application on its own merits, taking into account the extent of losses, security available and repayment ability. FSA has a variety of programs, in addition to the EM loan program, to help eligible farmers recover.
These nine parishes are also designated contiguous disaster areas as a result of damages and losses because of the flooding: Caldwell, Concordia, Evangeline, Franklin, LaSalle, Pointe Coupee, Rapides, St. Landry and Tensas.
Local FSA offices can provide affected farmers with additional information.

Many crop pests did not survive the record cold temperatures seen in Louisiana in mid-January, which is good news for farmers who are preparing for the upcoming growing season.
The bad news? Many pests — including mosquitoes, ticks and others that bother people — were unaffected by the frigid conditions.
Redbanded stink bugs are the No. 1 pest for soybean producers in Louisiana, according to LSU AgCenter entomologist Jeff Davis. He believes it will be difficult to find any redbanded stink bugs north of Interstate 10 in the state.
“From our observations, anytime you have temperatures below 23 degrees for 10 hours, you will see reductions of approximately 90 percent of redbanded stink bugs,” Davis said. “We were colder than that and for much longer than that.”
Davis said the main reason redbanded stink bugs are affected by the cold is the insect does not go into diapause, which is a hibernation-like state. The stink bug is an invasive species from Brazil where it does not experience the cold temperatures seen in Louisiana this month.
The freezing temperatures also
affected the vegetation many pests rely on to overwinter.
“Without a green bridge to feed on, if an insect survived the cold, there is a good chance it may starve to death,” Davis said. “Red-banded stinkbugs depend on clover to survive, and if you look out there, virtually everything is brown.”
Most insect treatments soybean farmers use are to combat redbanded populations. Because their numbers will be down, farmers could save approximately $40 to $60 per acre, depending on how many treatments they normally make to fight the pest.
Unfortunately, the cold will not eradicate redbanded stink bugs. Davis expects the insects to be found in north Louisiana by the end of the season. But their numbers are not expected the reach the threshold for insect treatments.
Davis said that corn earworms numbers will also be reduced.
Soybean loopers and fall armyworms migrate to Louisiana later in the year, and the cold will have no effect on them, Davis said. Thrips, a common pest in cotton, migrate from California and Mexico, but their numbers are expected to be low early in the season when cotton is most
vulnerable to insect damage.While the cold was reducing
problem pest populations, it was also reducing the number of beneficial insects.
AgCenter entomologist Rodrigo Diaz said the salvinia weevil had a hard time surviving the cold weather.
“I expect to see the populations of the weevil crash,” Diaz said.
The weevils play a crucial role in managing giant salvinia, one of the world’s most aggressive weeds in freshwater habitats. Under favorable growing conditions, giant salvinia can double its coverage in as few as 36 hours. In 2016, it could be found in more than 50 parishes in Louisiana.
“Salvinia can be protected from the cold in tree crevices or under plant debris. If all the weevils in an area died, it will be very easy for the plants to regenerate and take over an area,” Diaz said.
Research is ongoing to determine ways to increase the weevil survival. Some methods being examined include floating weevil nurseries using plastic rings to raise temperatures and increase their survival, and plant crowding, which creates a refuge-like effect and helps the plants—the weevil’s food source—and
weevils survive.AgCenter medical entomologist
Kristin Healy said the cold will do little in the way of mosquito control.
“Some of the mosquitoes we have here are also found in New Jersey, so they can tolerate cold weather,” Healy said.
Healy said mosquitoes enter the diapause stage to help survive during the winter. Eggs of the Asian tiger mosquito, a mosquito found in Louisiana, have a high tolerance for cold and generally survive.
“West Nile virus is going to be a concern here every summer because we are always going to have mosquitoes,” Healy said.
Ticks are another pest that interact with humans and spread diseases such as Lyme’s disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. According to Healy, the cold will do little to affect their populations.
“Many of the ticks found here are also found as far north as Canada, so they are well adapted to the cold,” she said.
On a brighter note, Healy said that bees that were in good health and should not be adversely affected by the cold weather. But cold weather is another stressor that can affect colonies.

Ten people who completed Louisiana Master Farmer Program training were recognized Jan. 11 at the 72nd annual meeting of the Louisiana Association of Conservation Districts in Alexandria.
Dwain J. Broussard, of Vermilion Parish, and Barry D. Lacasse, of Acadia Parish, were named Master Farmers. That designation has been bestowed on 238 people since the LSU AgCenter-led program launched in 2001.
Other organizations involved in the Master Farmer Program include the Louisiana Farm Bureau, the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry, the Louisiana Cattlemen’s Association and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service.
“Louisiana has made great strides in improving water quality, sediment loss, and proper use and application of fertilizer,” said Ronnie Levy, coordinator of the program. “The Louisiana Master Farmer Program has been recognized as one of the best, if not the best, program in the nation.”
Program participants have to attend educational sessions and develop conservation plans for their farms. The goal is to help farmers voluntarily implement research-based management practices that allow them to maintain productivity while protecting natural resources.
After graduation, Master Farmers must complete annual continuing education hours. Recertification is required every five years.
Eight previous Master Farmer graduates were recertified at the meeting. They are Elliot Bizette, of Pointe Coupee Parish; John “Jack” Dailey, of Franklin Parish; Ernest Girouard, of Vermilion Parish; Gary Hollier, of Pointe Coupee Parish; Josh Romero, of Iberia Parish; Nolan Romero, of Iberia Parish; Shane Romero, of Iberia Parish; and Rickey Womack, of Franklin Parish.
Dezeré Richard, who produces cattle and hay on more than 1,800 acres in Calcasieu Parish, was presented the Outstanding Master Farmer Award. She is the first woman to receive the award.
AgCenter associate vice president Rogers Leonard said Richard has made significant improvements in the areas of nutrient management and soil health at her operation, where she employs agriculture college students.
At the ceremony, Louisiana agriculture commissioner Mike Strain spoke about how the Master Farmer Program helps participants implement sound management practices at a time when farmers are under pressure to feed a growing world population.
“Between now and 2050, we must produce more food than since the dawn of time, and do it with less land, less water,” Strain said.
“Your land-grant university is taking that seriously,” Bill Richardson, LSU vice president for agriculture, said of using scientific research to boost food production along with conservation principles.
Kevin Norton, state
conservationist with the Natural Resources Conservation Service, called the Master Farmer Program participants leaders in both conservation and the agriculture
industry.“These individuals have dealt
with all the issues relative to their soil, water, air plants, wildlife and energy,” Norton said. “They’ve
crossed all those natural resource issues, and they are operating at the highest level of environmental stewardship that science affords today. That’s amazing.”
