and the best in water management

By Ryan McGeeney U of A System Division of Agriculture LITTLE ROCK - The 2016 Arkansas Rice Expo will have plenty to offer attendees of every stripe: Those who grow, those who cook and those who eat one of the state's top row crops. And this year's iteration of the annual expo in Stuttgart will feature demonstrations and experts speaking about aspects of rice in

Arkansas, both new and old.

The Arkansas Rice Expo returns to Stuttgart's Grand Prairie Center, 2807 Highway 165 South.

Doors open at 8 a.m. and will finish up with a complementary lunch. The annual half-day event celebrates a crop that in 2013 was valued at nearly $1.3 billion for Arkansas' economy.

Still time to register for 2016 Soybean College

By Fred Miller U of A System Division of Agriculture FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. There are still slots available to participate in the 2016 Soybean College Aug. 18 at the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture's Newport Research Station.

The college will display and discuss current research into many of the production challenges facing today's growers.

Participants will hear presentations from Division of Agriculture and industry personnel, and have the opportunity to take part in hands-on demonstrations.

Registration is $75 and must be completed online by Aug. 10: http://bit.ly/2016ArkSoyCo llege The Soybean College will begin at 8 a.m. and conclude at 5 p.m. No walkup registrations will be

accepted the day of the event and participants will be capped at 200, but there are still places available for participants. Fees will not be refunded because of inclement weather.

Participants will receive a sweep net, hand lens and other items. Lunch will be provided and continuing education units will be available.

To learn more about the 2016 Soybean College, contact Jeremy Ross at jross@uaex.edu.

the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture, will deliver a presentation on the state of unmanned aerial vehicles, commonly known as UAV's or "drones," and their potential applications for agriculture.

"Drone use in Arkansas agriculture is fairly spotty right now," Spurlock said.

"There's the hobbyists aspect of this - people that are operating small drones as hobbyists, they're probably flying fields and don't realize they're not exactly following the rules when the intent becomes commercial."

In late August, Part 107 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, which addresses small UAV's, is scheduled to go into effect.

Spurlock said the new rules will impact how the use of drones in agricultural areas is regulated.

"Use is going to escalate, and I think the hobbyist use is just going to turn into commercial applications," he said. "The [Federal Aviation Administration] is providing a means for operators to become certified and licensed."

Spurlock said he will also talk about the use of various sensor technologies and georeferenced data to analyze different aspects of crop fields, including disease detection, plant population density and field elevation.

Spurlock said Brad Fausett, CEO of Arkansas UAV, will be addressing attendees as a part of the presentation as well.

This year's expo will also

feature several field tours, providing attendees the opportunity to see the latest University of Arkansas rice variety releases, as well as some potential variety releases still in development.

"We'll be discussing current and future prospects for variety releases, including long grain, medium grain and hybrid programs," said Jarrod Hardke, extension rice agronomist for the Division of Agriculture.

"People will get an upclose look at our two most recent releases, as well as potential releases coming in the next couple of years.

Hardke said Rice Research and Extension Center faculty hope to drain a field just in time for observation day, so that people can actually walk out into it.

"You just get a better feel for the characteristics of the variety - the panicle length, the way the plant's structured, how it stands up," Hardke said. "You can see its natural color, and just how it's going to look and act in the field, which you can only do so much of from a few steps back."

The tour will also feature presentations focusing on growing resistance issues in weeds in both rice and soybeans.

"We have a lot of concern over managing these weed populations, since the majority of our rice is rotated directly with soybeans," Hardke said. "[Professors] Jason Norsworthy and Tom Barber will be discussing

how these two crops are going to work together with the new herbicide technologies that we have coming forward in both crops, and how that's going to work and help manage resistance in the future."

The third stop on the tour will feature presentation on rice irrigation and water management.

Assistant professor Chris Henry and irrigation educator Mike Hamilton will discuss aspects of irrigation efficiency, multipleinlet irrigation and other practices.

"The real value of field tours is to see the in-thefield work and efforts of our research and extension faculty," Hardke said.

"It's the opportunity to see and interact with our research and extension faculty and see what the critical areas are for us right now in rice production. We want to give growers new tools to help improve their operations."

UAPB Lonoke Farm Agriculture Field Day Set for August 25 Carol Sanders, writer/editor UAPB School of Agriculture, Fisheries and Human Sciences PINE BLUFF, Ark. Lonoke Farm Field Day is scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 25, at the Pearlie S. Reed/Robert L. Cole Small Farm Outreach Wetlands and Water Management Center (SFO-WWMC) on the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UAPB) Farm near Lonoke, Arkansas.

The agriculture field day begins with registration at 7:30 a.m. and welcoming remarks at 8:30 a.m.

Tours will follow at 9 a.m. with the last tour at 11 a.m. A noon luncheon will follow.

Wes Ward, Arkansas Secretary of Agriculture, will be the luncheon speaker.

Tractor-pulled trailers will transport participants to three main areas - Crop Production Systems, Water Management Activities and Agriculture-Related Activities where learning stations will feature scientists, researchers and faculty reporting on specific projects.

The Crop Production System stops include the UAPB alternative cropping systems designed for small and limited-resource farmers, native tall grass prairie seed production plots in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of

Engineer's (USACE) Memphis District and weed science studies with the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture Cooperative Extension Service.

Cropping systems include an organic garden, sweet potato production, cover crop studies, southern pea breeding and Liberty Link and Roundup Ready soybean demonstrations.

Water Management Activities feature a Pipe Planner Irrigation Demonstration and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Mississippi River alluvial aquifer groundwater elevations and the data collection platform that measures the water table within the aquifer that supplies groundwater to the SFO-WWMC and most farms in eastern Arkansas.

The Agriculture-Related Activities stops will highlight the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission Fish Tank, the Arkansas Forestry Commission progeny test presentations on honey bees and on the economic analysis of sweet potato production.

Wes Ward, the Arkansas Secretary of Agriculture will be the luncheon speaker.

The Field Day is dedicated to the late Dr. Pearlie S. Reed, former assistant secretary of agriculture who was instrumental in helping UAPB acquire

and develop the farm site that bears his name.

The SFO-WWMC was created on the 871-acre UAPB farm to address critical groundwater issues facing Arkansas and the economic plight of the small-scale and limited resource farmer.

Currently, 17 research and demonstration projects are underway with a multi-agency group of scientists, engineers, professors and community organizations. Their primary focus is the efficient and effective use of surface water.

The Small Farm Outreach and Wetlands and Water Management Center is located at 235 O'Cain Road, off Hwy 31, about 2.8 miles from the I40 Lonoke Exit 175. For more information on Field Day or if you have special needs, contact Julius Handcock at (501) 6761534 or Dr. Leslie Glover at (870) 575-8828 or gloverl@uapb.edu.

On the agenda are: John Clark, distinguished professor, who will be talking about the grape breeding program and conducting the vineyard tour; Jacob Paulk, of Paulk Vineyards in Georgia, will discuss his experiences in growing muscadine grape varieties. Mercy Olmstead, associate professor at the University of Florida will talk about Muscadine grape varieties for fresh market and wine production. Amanda McWhirt, extension fruit and vegetable specialist will talk about establishing a vineyard; and Jackie Lee, extension horticulture specialist, will talk about pest management in the vineyard.

"With the rise in the locovore movement and increasing popularity of wine, has come an increased interest in grapes," said Threlfall.

"We designed this workshop and field day to address the vineyard life cycle from establishment to consumers."

"Of special interest to

growers in the South are muscadines - a grape with a strong and loyal regional following for both juice and fresh market," she said. "We're glad to have Jacob Paulk, who planted his first vine in 1970 and whose farm is on land now being worked by the sixth generation of his family."

The workshop is funded in part by the Arkansas Association of Grape Growers, http://argrapegrowers.org.

New Bethel News

By Donna Kelly Sorry we were not able to get news out last week. We were taking John to the eye doctor early and didn’t get out of there until 5pm.

We were engaged in Revival meetings ar New Bethel last week. Brother Van Houten brought some good messages. We had visitors most every night. There were also other Churches having Revival Meetings also.

Saturday evening we met at Murry’s for a surprise for Sandy Kelly’s Birthday. We had a crowd. Her friends came from all over. It really was a big surprise for her.

It was good to see Janet Kelly out over the weekend, as she was in a

wreck a couple of weeks ago.

We had a thunder storm with rain on Sunday just as we went to church on Sunday evening.

We appreciate those who came to our church during Revival and brought music, Joe Mills, the Ingle boys and others.

John Kelly will have eye surgery on the 24th.

Hopefully it will be a success, as he has had problems and loves to read.

There will be a Kelly reunion Saturday the 13th at the Old Armory in Hazen. We hope to see alot of kin folks we haven’t seen in a while.

We wish everyone good health and all that goes with it.
