Indiana expects plentiful corn crop!

By Zachary A. Goldfarb, The Indianapolis Star Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News

Aug. 13--Agricultural officials expect a plentiful corn crop in the state partly because of favorable weather conditions this summer.

Indiana Agricultural Statistics Service estimated in a report Thursday that Indiana farms would yield 156 bushels of corn per acre. That would tie a 2001 record.

Corn production would rise 5 percent from last year to about 827 million bushels.

Indiana produced 8 percent of the country's corn in 2003.

There's a GLUT!

Cucumber Harvest and Glut

August 13, 2008

Its the first time I’ve grown cucumbers (marketmore) this year outdoors and I am very impressed with the results. I do love cucumber but I am the only one in my house that does so apart from having cucumber salad every day I was hoping to find other ways of using cucumber.

When there’s a glut I usually eagerly wait for another veggy blog on my google reader to post some recipe ideas and hey presto Greenfolks came in on target - thanks for that. Here is the recipe for Cucumber, Pepper and Onion Relish.

Below are a few other recipes to use up your cucumber gluts:-

* Val’s Recipe for Cucumber and Pepper Relish,
* Cucumber and Green Tomato Relish Recipe,
* Joanna’s Cucumber and Mint Salad,
* Jo’s award winning Cucumber Pickle Recipe at the Cottage Smallholder,
* Cooking with Cucumbers Recipes by the Cucumber Growers Association,
* BBC Good Food - Cucumber Recipes,
* Preserving Equipment and Jars - UK.
