$1.5 Million Grant To Advance
‘Big Data’ For Genomic Research
By Sylvia Kantor, Washington State University CAHNRS
Scientists at Washington State University have received
a grant from the National Science Foundation to help meet
the growing needs of the data driven genomic science community. The Tripal Gateway project will build on existing
cyberinfrastructure to enhance the capacity of genomic databases to manage, exchange and process “big data.” “Now,
in a single day some modern DNA sequencers can output as
much data as the human genome,” Stephen Ficklin said. “We
expect the deluge of data to continue to grow exponentially.”
Ficklin, the lead investigator and a research scientist in
the department of horticulture at WSU, said that just as computers have had dramatic improvements that have lowered
costs and allowed for mass production, DNA sequencing
technologies are undergoing a similar transition. The challenge is no longer affordability of DNA sequencing, he said.
The WSU project is one of 17 grants, totaling $31 million
awarded by the National Science Foundation Data Infrastructure Building Blocks (DIBBS) program.
Sharing information
Genomic research relies on community databases—websites that house genomic, genetic and breeding data—for use
by scientists working in the same research area, for example
cotton, cacao (chocolate), or plants in the rosaceae family
like apple, cherry, and pear.
By creating ways to easily share data between community
databases, on demand, researchers will no longer have to
navigate between multiple websites to obtain the information they need.
“Genomics scientists who can access large data sets but
have limited resources for storing, sharing and analyzing
them will benefit from this work,” Ficklin said.
The three-year project will also utilize software-defined
networking technology to quickly transfer large data sets
between computational resources and the database to support
data sharing and analysis. Ultimately, it will link existing
community databases for fruit and hardwood trees as well as
legumes into a larger network of online research databases.
Tripal software
The project is based on open-source software known as
Tripal (http://tripal.info), originally developed by Ficklin
and Meg Staton at Clemson University and significantly
enhanced by Dorrie Main at Washington State University
and Kirsten Bett at the University of Saskatchewan. Tripal
is used by at least 24 different plant and animal databases,
including the Genome Database for Rosaceae (GDR http://
www.rosaceae.org/) and community databases for 24 crops
developed by the Main lab. Main is a co-investigator of the
new project.
The project team also includes Sook Jung, Washington
State University; Alex Feltus and Kuang-Ching Wang,
Clemson University; Meg Staton, University of Tennessee;
and Jill Wegrzyn, University of Connecticut.

Horses And Ebola
David A. Rustebakke, DVM
If I wish to import a horse into the United States from
Liberia or any African country other than Morocco, the horse
needs to undergo a 60 day quarantine period at a USDA approved quarantine facility prior to mingling with the general
population of horses in this country. Africa has a disease called
African Horse Sickness that does not exist in the U.S.; this
is the way we have kept it out of this country. African Horse
Sickness does not cause disease in people, only horses; our
government has determined that it would be devastating to
the U.S. horse industry if it were to come here.
The United States (and virtually all other countries) require a myriad of tests and often quarantine prior to bringing
in a foreign animal. I can’t legally cross state lines in the
United States with a horse or cow without a health certificate signed by a USDA accredited veterinarian stating that
the animal has been inspected and found free of infectious
disease. In most cases blood tests are also required. In fact
I can’t legally cross the Snake River and ride my horse in
Idaho without a health certificate and a negative blood test
for Equine Infectious Anemia.
I’m not complaining; the United States of America, the
States of Idaho and Washington as well as the other 48 states
take the health of our livestock very seriously, and we have
a very good record at keeping foreign animal diseases out of
our country. I am happy to do my part to maintain biosecurity
in our animal population.
If I am a resident of Liberia incubating Ebola, to enter the
United States all I need to do is present a valid visa, and lie
when asked if I have been exposed to Ebola. Within hours
(no quarantine required) I can be walking the streets of any
city in the United States. I feel very fortunate to live in a
country that values our animals so highly.

Blackleaf In
Washington
Concord Grapes
By Michelle Moyer, WSU CAHNRS from WSU’s Voice of the Vine
The summer of 2014 was exceptionally hot and sunny.
Given these conditions, it is no wonder that reports of Concord blackleaf have been rolling in faster than a lower valley
dust storm. In some cases, blackleaf has not been limited
to juice grapes, there have also been reports of it on some
wine grapes in certain locations.
In order to understand how to potentially manage or prevent blackleaf, we have to understand what it is and what
it is not. It is not a nutritional deficiency. All of those old
recommendations for applying potassium fertilizer to alleviate symptoms? Throw them out. It is not a result of mite
feeding. Mites will cause a more browning and bronzing of
leaves; and they can be controlled with a miticide. Spraying
a miticide will not alleviate blackleaf. It is not a disease; not
powdery mildew, not Grapevine leafroll.
Blackleaf is a physiological disorder that results in the
degradation of chloroplasts (cellular structures that conduct
photosynthesis) and death of epidermal cells (the outer
“skin” of a grape leaf). This degradation and death is caused
by exposure to excessive UVB sunlight. Specifically, in
blackleaf, the damage is a result of exposure to UVB when
the leaves are not fully mature and therefore lack the waxy
cuticle and build-up of sunscreen compounds that would
naturally protect the tissue from damage.
In Washington, most of the damage that is seen in Concord vineyards as “black leaves” in September, was actually
from damage that was initiated in late June and early July.
This is why blackleaf tends to be a bigger problem during
years with reduced cloud coverage during those months.
The damage takes time to fully manifest itself and display
the “black leaf” symptoms. It is akin to the delayed muscle
pain felt when starting a new sport or exercise regime.
Why do some blocks of Concord grapevines display severe
symptoms of blackleaf when adjacent blocks have very little?
Drought stress has been implicated in exacerbating blackleaf
in Concord. Drought stress reduces vine transpiration, which
in turn, can result in superheating of leaf tissue exposed
to the sun. This high heat exposure can further damage
chloroplasts and cells, accelerating the damage to the leaf
tissue. As such, vineyards that experienced water stress do
risk having more severe blackleaf symptoms. Water stress
only enhances symptom development in vineyards that have
already suffered from blackleaf damage, it does not cause it.
There are no current commercially acceptable techniques
for preventing blackleaf in Concord vineyards. However,
in years with few cloudy days and warm temperatures,
the severity of blackleaf may be reduced with appropriate
management of vine water stress.
For more information on blackleaf and potential ways to
reduce symptoms, please see WSU Extension Publication
EB0745, Blackleaf in Grapes (Olmstead et al. 2005).

Global Buyers Applaud Innovation,
Technology In Ag Production
From Melissa Kessler, U.S. Grains Council
Biotechnology benefits farmers and consumers worldwide, and innovation in plant science is essential to meet the
world’s rapidly growing demand for food, said Dr. Howard
Minigh, president and chief executive officer of CropLife
International, when he presented to the nearly 500 attendees
of Export Exchange 2014 on October 22, 2014.
Minigh addressed the crowd of international buyers and
domestic traders gathered in Seattle, Washington, for the
biennial conference meant to help the two constituencies
build relationships to facilitate grain trade in the coming
years. The event is co-sponsored by the U.S. Grains Council
(USGC) and Renewable Fuels Association (RFA).
Since being commercially introduced in the mid-1990s,
the economic benefits of plant biotechnology at the farm
level have exceeded $117 billion, according to PG Economics. In 2013, 18 million farmers in 27 countries—more than
90 percent of them lower-income farmers in the developing
world—planted biotech crops.
Despite the widespread adoption of this technology, it is
controversial and, in some markets, unpredictable regulatory
frameworks often influenced by political forces have created challenges to global trade. The timelines for approval
in large importing countries are increasing, although this
trend is not confined only to those who buy grain. Even
the United States, which as recently as 2008 was a global
leader in biotech approvals, now trails Canada, Brazil and
Argentina on this measure.
“The United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that the world needs to increase food
production 70 percent by 2050, which means we must grow
more with less,” said Ron Gray, USGC chairman. “To meet
this demand, we need better technology of all types, and
we also must continue to embrace trade as a path to food
security. These are critical topics to discuss at meetings like
Export Exchange.”
Bob Dinneen, president and CEO of the Renewable Fuels
Association, stated, “Too often people forget that the ethanol industry produces more than just fuel, it also produces
distiller’s dried grains with solubles (DDGS), a high protein
feedstock. Last year alone, the industry created enough
DDGS to produce seven hamburgers for every single person
on the planet. It’s clear that the American ethanol industry
is helping both fuel and feed the world.”
With more than 200 foreign attendees representing more
than 40 countries and an additional 200 U.S. attendees
representing every sector of the coarse grains value chain,
Export Exchange is a premiere global grain trade conference.
Those participating on Tuesday and Wednesday also heard
presentations on the global supply and demand situation,
economic drivers affecting the global feed grains trade,
and the latest developments in shipping, financing and the
policy environment.

has been based upon increased production resulting in less meat consumed at home.
Thus, the aging population
may have a significant effect
on the demand for meat and,
hence, the demand for livestock feed, including grain
and soybeans in the future.
Recent studies suggest
that total average per capita
meat consumption in China
could grow from about 60
kilograms in 2010 to nearly
100 kg per person per year
by 2030. Accounting for
the aging population would
reduce the projection by up
to 5 percent per year.
How will this dramatic increase in meat consumption be
met? Chinese meat production
likely will expand to meet this
demand but will put increasing pressure on feedstuffs and
protein supplies. China’s meat
imports, particularly highquality imports destined for
the hotel/restaurant trade will
likely increase to meet a growing income driven demand.
However, given China’s
limited arable land base and
irrigation water supplies,
it is likely that unless productivity increases dramatically, imports of soybeans and
feedstuffs will increase significantly to feed a growing
livestock inventory. While
the level of China’s imports
is debatable, there is likely
an opportunity for increased
exports of U.S soybeans and
feedstuffs.
North Dakota is wellsituated to at least partially
meet some of this demand
with its expanded corn and
soybean production base via
northwestern ports. However, shipping congestion may
limit opportunities, at least
in the short run, making gulf
exports more viable.
Nevertheless, China’s
growing demand for meat
will create opportunities
in the world marketplace.
However, China’s population demographic changes
in the next several decades
likely will reduce the overall
demand for meat.

Pear Crop Insurance Modifications
Jo Lynne Seufer, USDA-RMA, Spokane, WA
USDA’s Risk Management Agency (RMA) on October 15,
2014 announced program enhancements to the Pear MultiPeril Crop Insurance (MPCI) plan for the 2015 crop year.
Changes to the Pear Crop Provisions include:
• Optional units may be established by type;
• Revision to the actuarial structure for pear types;
• Different coverage levels and percent of price elections
that may be elected for each type in the county;
• Revision to allow insects and disease to be insurable
causes of loss unless damage is due to insufficient or improper application of control measures; and
• Revision to the Fresh Pear Quality Adjustment Endorsement to include all insurable causes of loss.
Fruit producers in the Pacific Northwest are reminded
of the upcoming sales closing date on November 20, for
apple, blueberry, sweet and tart cherry actual revenue history, cranberry, grape, pear, table grape, and stone fruit crops
(apricots, nectarines, freestone peaches, and plums/prunes).
Current policyholders and uninsured growers must make
all of their decisions on crop insurance coverage before the
sales closing date. If there is no coverage in a county for a
specific crop under the traditional MPCI program, producers may be eligible for coverage under a written agreement.
Producers should contact their crop insurance agent for more
information.
Producers are encouraged to visit their crop insurance
agent to learn specific details for the 2015 crop year. Federal
crop insurance policies are sold and delivered solely through
private crop insurance companies and agents. A list of crop
insurance agents is available at all USDA service centers or
on the RMA website at: www3.rma.usda.gov/tools/agents.

Conventional Tillage Harvests
A Haboob, Unhealthy Soils
By Jim Armstrong, Spokane, WA County Conservation Dist.
Haboob: a funny word, but its meaning is far from laughable. Defined as a type of intense dust storm carried on an
atmospheric current, haboobs can have catastrophic effects
on both land and life.
Dry August winds often stir up dust clouds in central and
eastern Washington, but 2014 was exceptional. On Aug. 12,
an enormous, miles-wide haboob, which was reminiscent
of those from the Dust Bowl era, descended upon eastern
Washington. Two weeks later, another dust cloud caused a
50-car pile-up in the southern part of the state, sending multiple people to the hospital and shutting down Interstate 82.
The main source of the dust was unprotected farm fields,
either after harvest or lands that have been left vacant for
the year. In other words, there were no plants covering the
soil between crops being planted.
When farmers using conventional tillage techniques are
working the ground, the tractors and drills kick up dust.
Substitute 40- to 50-mph winds in place of the tractor and
drill, and soil erosion increases exponentially. Combine
several hundred thousand acres of farm land and 50 mph
winds and you have a haboob.
Conventional farming practices include using implements
such as discs, plows, chisels, harrows, sprayers and drills to
prepare the soil for planting a single crop. All can be pulled
behind a tractor around the same field, one at a time to prepare the soil for planting. Four to eight passes depending on
the crop are made over the same field to establish that crop.
The end result of repetitive disturbance is topsoil that has
been worked into a fine powder, which is easily and rapidly
lifted into the air with even the slightest of winds, creating soil
erosion events of the type Washington experienced in August.
One of the techniques used in the drier areas west and
south of Spokane, Washington, is called deep furrow planting. This method places the seed down where the moisture
level should be by the end of summer. In many cases, that
equates to six to eight inches below the surface.
Much of this type of planting occurs on fields where
they grow a winter crop one year, and then let the field stay
dormant, often called fallow, the following year. The fallow
fields are continually worked during the summer to prevent
vegetative growth, in theory, to protect moisture from being
removed. But studies have clearly shown that bare soil can
have temperatures 40 degrees or higher than soils covered
with vegetation or even stubble for shade.
Increased soil temperatures and evaporation can quickly
dry the soil. There is an alternative though, and it’s more
sustainable. No-till farming is the practice of placing the
next crop’s seed and fertilizer into the ground through the
previous crop’s stubble or residue.
This does a couple of very important things. First, it leaves
the soil undisturbed as the drill moves through. Second, notill farming protects and retains topsoil moisture, making it
available to plants.
Research shows that for every tillage operation where the
soil is disturbed, up to a half inch of moisture is lost. Add up
the three or four tillage operations in a conventional system
and the moisture loss is significant.
Fortunately, USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation
Service works with farmers and private landowners to help
improve soil health practices and prevent these types of disasters, including helping farmers adopt no-till on their land.
The haboob was a clear reminder that more soil conservation work is needed. But the good news, more farmers are
embracing new technologies as well as proven conservation
practices available to them, which will help mitigate disasters
like the recent haboobs in Washington.

Advice
On Using
Sprouted
Grains As Livestock Feed
Montana State University Extension News Service
Because of this summer’s weather Montana has been hot,
cold, rainy and, in some parts, snowy, the grain harvest was
delayed in many areas, and some barley and wheat have
sprouted in the seed heads. These sprouted grains, although
not suitable for traditional markets, can be used as a feedstuff
for livestock.
Based on research, sprouted grains have similar feed value
to non-sprouted grains. Daily gains and feed efficiency in the
feedlot are similar between cattle consuming non-sprouted
or sprouted grains. However, due to the high starch content
of wheat and barley, feeding below 20 percent of the total
ration on a dry matter basis is recommended to minimize
incidences of acidosis. For the greatest benefit of feeding
wheat and barley, either sprouted or not, the kernels should
be rolled or cracked and should never be self-fed or used
for creep feeding. Fine grinding of wheat and barley should
be avoided.
Major areas of concern when feeding sprouted grains are
proper storage and the potential development of mold and
mycotoxins. Proper storage of the sprouted grains is crucial
to maintaining quality and limiting mold growth.
If moisture levels are less than 13 percent, it can be
stored as you would ordinarily store grain. When determining moisture levels of a field, make sure multiple samples
are collected. Moisture content may vary across the field
depending on topography and wind, which would cause
uneven drying the sprouted grain.
If moisture levels are greater than 13 percent, ensiling
may be a better option for storage. Sprouted grains can be
ensiled in silos, bunkers, or storage bags. Whole grain does
not pack well, so rolling or cracking of the grain should be
done prior to ensiling. Sprouted grains, such as barley and
wheat, can be layered with corn silage during silage packing
to ensile the sprouted grain.
The combination of high moisture and cool weather conditions means mold may develop in sprouted grains. If mold
is seen on the sprouted grains, it is recommended to collect
multiple samples from around the field. Proper drying of the
sprouted grains is more likely to occur on the outer edges,
while the center of a field will be more susceptible to mold
and mycotoxin production due to higher moisture contect.
Mold and mycotoxin levels should be assessed prior to
feeding or harvesting because they can be hazardous to both
humans and livestock.
Barry Jacobsen, MSU Extension plant pathology specialist, suggests that when submitting samples to labs,
mold species and genus should be identified if possible. If
mycotoxins are present in the sprouted grains at moderate
levels, the sprouted grains should be combined with clean,
non-moldy feed to reduce mycotoxin levels.
For additional information about feeding sprouted grains,
please contact your local county Extension Office.

Expanded Credit Access Helps
More Beginning, Family Farmers
Agriculture Deputy Secretary Krysta Harden recently
announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)
will improve farm loans by expanding eligibility and increasing lending limits to help more beginning and family
farmers. As part of this effort, USDA is raising the borrowing
limit for the microloan program from $35,000 to $50,000;
simplifying the lending processes; updating required “farming experience” to include other valuable experiences; and
expanding eligible business entities to reflect changes in
the way family farms are owned and operated. The changes
become effective Nov. 7.

By Daniel Robison, Oregon State University
If you like to prolong color in your landscapes through
the summer and into the fall, consider planting evergreen
shrubs called Hebes (pronounced HEE-bees) for vivid color
in both flowers and foliage during summer and fall.
“Most Hebes flower in the summer, but others bloom in
late fall,” said Neil Bell, consumer horticulturalist with the
Oregon State University Extension Service. “Some have
colorful foliage that lasts through autumn. They provide
an interesting change from the usual asters and maples we
customarily rely on for autumn interest.”
Native to New Zealand, Hebes have hundreds of cultivars,
but only a few are familiar to American gardeners.
“The plants may have acquired a reputation for lack of
hardiness because some of the most popular cultivars introduced here are not hardy in very cold winters,” Bell said.
“However, many Hebes do well in the Pacific Northwest if
grown in a sheltered spot.”
Large-leaved Hebes can be injured by temperatures below
25 degrees and are less hardy than those with small leaves.
Rather than avoid buying large-leaved shrubs, consider
putting them in a sheltered spot or in a container you can
move indoors temporarily if it gets cold. For showy purple
flowers in the fall, Bell suggests cultivars “Amy” and “Alicia
Amherst.” “Purple Picture” blooms in June but flowers profusely again in October and November. Some red-flowering
Hebes, such as “Hobby,” provide color through November
and even through December in a mild year. “Bowles Hybrid”
produces lavender flowers in summer, but will bloom again
in the fall, even into January.
“Except for ‘Bowles’ Hybrid,’ which is hardier, all these
hybrids are susceptible to cold,” Bell said. Plant them against
a sheltered wall or tucked between other shrubs. Be prepared
to give them a little extra cover if the temperature threatens
to drop suddenly.”
Several small-leaved Hebe cultivars that are hardy west
of the Cascades have beautiful and unusual foliage. Some
are commonly sold in the Pacific Northwest. “Quicksilver,”
as the name suggests, has small silvery leaves. “Boughton
Dome” has grayish foliage. “James Stirling” has ochre leaves
and resembles a small conifer.
Another unusual characteristic of some Hebes is a noticeable
change in foliage color from summer to winter. Some cultivars
take on a purplish or reddish cast during winter. Perhaps the
best known is “Caledonia,” which turns purple. “Sapphire”
has shoots that turn bright red at the tips in the winter.
Several of the variegated cultivars are beautiful and
unusual, but are large-leaved and require a protected spot
if you want them to survive the winter. They include Hebe
speciosa “Variegata,” “Tricolor” and “Andersonii Variegata.”
In addition to a protected location, Hebes need at least
partial sun, well-drained soil and water during the summer
months. Most do well without much pruning, and annual
moderate pruning after they bloom works well.
The OSU Department of Horticulture’s website, called
“Landscape Plants, Identification and Information” (http://
oregonstate.edu/dept/ldplants/), has photos and other information about several kinds of Hebes that grow on the OSU
campus in Corvallis.
Results of an OSU landscape evaluation of Hebes are
available online http://horticulture.oregonstate.edu/content/
northwest-plant-evaluation-program.
