Powering predictions for potato farmers

Potato growers in Washington have a powerful new tool to help them make decisions about their crops, one that’s saving the industry in the state nearly $10 million each year. Washington State University is the lead partner in the Potato Decision Aid System, introduced in 2021. It uses weather information from WSU’s AgWeatherNet system and regular monitoring of fields to create computer models and risk maps. “We tell producers, consultants, suppliers when things are going to happen on a farm,” said David Crowder, a professor in the WSU Department of Entomology and director of the Decision Aid System.

"It’s a really fun and great activity, and I love how passionate our class is for it.”

Finding alternatives to dairy

You know I love milk - fresh and raw. I love milk so much that I own two dairy cows. But I realize that not everyone drinks (or even can drink) cow's milk. Plus, with the flu season upon us, stuffy noses and sore throats need a break from dairy because it can worsen cold symptoms. There is evidence to indicate that up to half of the children in the United States have an allergic reaction to pasteurized milk. For these kids (and afflicted adults), milk consumption can lead to persistent problems such as chronic coughs and sinus infections, asthma and ear infections. The late Dr. Benjamin Spock, renowned pediatrician, also cautioned against too much cow's milk for children, believing it to cause mucus complications and more discomfort with upper respiratory infections.
