Cashew Farming | Cultivation | Harvesting | How to Do it?

General Introduction to Cashew Farming

Cashew is a major horticultural crop grown extensively in Kerala, Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Orissa. Cashew Cultivation is being done. It is found to a lesser extent in West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat and North-Eastern states. cashew grown goes to Along with being used as a popular snack, cashew nuts are included in ice cream, pastries and desserts, gaining more prominence as an ingredient in healthy foods due to their high protein and low sugar content.

Currently, 6.13 lakh tonnes of cashew nuts are being produced in India in about 9.23 hectares, compared to last year, 6.95 lakh tonnes of cashew nuts were produced in 8.93 lakh hectares. Corn production is low.

India has the capacity to produce 1.2 million tonnes of cashews, the existing plantations have been grown more extensively from seeds, which show victory in flowering, fruiting, and other properties due to the process of persuasion. To overcome this problem, presently found by vegetative propagation. Hua cuttings are recommended for planting.

Wild plants and weeds should be removed in the selected site for the cultivation of cashew, the roots of plants and weeds should be removed in a radius of 2 meters from the place of grafting. With this, the newly planted pen can be fixed without competition.

Dig a hole

A 1x1x1m pit should be dug across the slope at a distance of 7.5×7.5 meters or 8.0×8.0 meters. In the “Hedge-row” planting method, spacing of 1×5 m is facilitated for inter-cropping in the initial years of cultivation, the pit should be dug 15-20 days before planting and kept open in the sunlight so that the root like termite Can destroy harmful insects, the pit should be filled up to three-fourth with a mixture of top soil, 5 kg of compost, 2 kg of compost and 200 grams of rock phosphate, a drain should be constructed for good drainage of water.

Cashew Farming

Planting Pen for Cashew Cultivation

Generally, more than five months of age are found in nurseries, healthy buds should be carefully removed from the polythene bag and planted along with the soil. For planting the cutting, a little soil should be removed from the center of the pit, after planting the cutting in the pit, gently press the surrounding soil, the joint of the pen should be 5 cm from the soil. should be placed above, this will facilitate the removal of shoots coming out of the rhizome. The pit should be filled slowly within two years.

Peg and Rake

After planting the cutting, a peg should be tied to the pen so that if the wind is strong, then it is not harmed, for moisture conservation, the plants should be dried from the surroundings and every leaf should be destroyed.

Plant Care, Rearing and Pruning

From time to time the shoots coming from the bottom of the cutting joint should be removed, 75-100 cm of the main stem. The lower branches should be cut with a scissor so that after four to five years of planting, the main trunk remains straight up to the height. This should be done every year gradually, this will facilitate in agricultural work, collection of bunches and detection of cashew nuts and root borer loss symptoms.

The flowers should be removed for two years after planting, the first crop should be taken in the third year itself. The straight growing main trunk after 4-5 years should be cut at a height of 3.5 m to 4.0 m.

kaju ki kism

Many advanced varieties of cashew have been developed by the National Cashew Research Center (Puttur), in terms of improved varieties, about 10-15 advanced varieties of cashew are being produced in India, some of them are given below –

Improved variety of cashew

  1. BPP-2
  2. BPP-1
  3. Ullal-4
  4. Ullal-2
  5. Vegurala-4
  6. T-40

Quantification of Fertilizer Application in Cashew Cultivation

after planting (in years) urea (gram/plant) rock phosphate (gram/plant) muriate of potash (gram/plant)
1 330 125 40
2 660 250 80
3 990 375 120
4 1320 500 160
5 more 1650 625 200

Fertilizing Cashew Field

In loamy soils and low rainfall areas (East Coast and Interior) fertilizers should be applied in circular strips of 50 cm width 0.5 m, 0.7 m, 1.0 m from the main trunk in first, secondary, third and fourth year respectively.

In areas with high rainfall, 25 cm in width and 1.5 cm in loamy soils and sloping soils. Fertilizer should be applied in the circular trench of depth 0.5 m, 07 m, 1.0 m, and 1.5 m in the first, second, third and fourth year respectively. Fertilizer should be mixed in the soil.

To increase the utilization efficiency of fertilizers, green leaves should be mulched by laying them in excess rain and in case of lack of moisture in the soil, fertilizers should not be applied in the second week of August, when the rains are less, then fertilizers can be given.

Cashew Cultivation

Soil and Water Conservation Methods

Before the third year, a water harvesting ditch should be made around each plant in the Dhaluvo regions. and should be 0.45 deep. By laying the organic matter on the soil around the plant and mulching, the soil moisture can be saved from erosion and sunlight during the rainy season.

Intensive Planting Method for Cashew Cultivation

In the initial phase of cashew plantations through intensive planting method, the vacant land will be used profitably by increasing the number of seedlings. High-density planting method is very dry in low-fertility regions because in such places the propagation of plants is very slow, due to which most of the land remains open in the initial years. In such places, if 8×8 meter spacing (156 trees/ha) is kept in simple density planting method, the yield in initial stages is very less.

625 trees/ha (intensive planting of 4×4 m can increase the yield of cashew in low fertility soil up to the sixth year by 4 times and for 12 years by 2.5 times, 5×5 m for intensive planting) (400 trees/ha) and other spacing of 6×4 m (415 trees/ha) is also recommended.

Plant Protection

The soft shoots, flower clusters, ripe clumps and fruits are sucked by the infant and adult kitto, resulting in black streaks. These stripes on shoots and inflorescences together produce shoot blight or panicle blight, if the loss of this kit is severe, it is necessary to take spray to protect the unaffected trees, the minor gardens less than five years of age, who are continuously culled, are sprayed with insecticide. should be protected After that spraying should be done in the gardens as needed

  • The recommended insecticides for spray are as follows
  • in germination stage
  • Monocrotophanes (0.05%/i.e. in 1.5 ml/litre of water)
  • At flowering/fruiting stage: Carbaryl (0.1% i.e. 2g/Litre of water)
  • Or L-Sahalothrin (0.003 i.e. in 6ml/10 liters of water)

The pesticide should be mixed thoroughly before filling the sprayer. Spray should be given during the day till 10:00 and only after 4:00 pm. Do not spray against the wind. Empty cans of insecticide should be destroyed and buried deep in the soil. Care should be taken when spraying cashew trees around the roots of drinking water. The person spraying should cover their mouth and nose with a mask. Spraying should be done only after weeding in the plots.

Cashew Cultivation

Cashew Stem and Root Borer [CSRB]) management of -

Older cashew trees located in or near neglected cashew orchards are more vulnerable to CSRB damage. Adult female beetles keep their eggs in the slits (closer to the soil level) or in open air roots. The caterpillars immediately make tunnels in the bark and bark of the roots. After making extensive tunnels in the bark, the flow of nutrients is obstructed, due to which the leaves and twigs dry up.

Gum and France seep from the tree in the obstructed area, which is the initial symptom for therapy, the main trunk or the obstructed bark of the root under which the "France" is, should be removed carefully without causing much damage to the bark. Like the fresh "France" in the tunnels, the bark must be detected and destroyed by CSRB caterpillars.

Falling "France" near the tree is a sign of the time to build the corpuscles in the larva. At this stage, a twisting wire of the cell should be inserted into the tunnel and pressed repeatedly until a slurred sound is heard. A white fluid will come out, which is a sign of loss of the inner ear sac. After that the chipped part should be smeared with chloropyrifos (0.2%) (in 10 ml insecticide / liter of water) solution.

Trees that have more than 50% loss in the circumference of the bark or whose entire leaves are yellow, that tree will not survive, but the insect stages living in them can be the root of pest attack in future.

Therefore, such trees which will not survive, they should be uprooted under plant hygiene, removing the remaining insects in them, destroying them and removing them immediately so that the root cause of pest attack for the next year is not created. At the time of gutli collection (February to May) the pest emergency begins; At the same time, pest infested trees can be targeted in a subtle manner. Trees that are subsequently targeted should be subjected to "curative action" within 25 to 30 days, so that the slugs do not cause further damage.

Harvesting Cashew

Only the fallen cashew nuts should be collected from under the tree. Fruits should never be plucked from trees. Gutlis should be separated from the fruit/apple and stored in sacks 4-6 inches above the ground after drying in the sun for 2-3 days.

Gutli Production

8 kg of all hibernated varieties. / tree or has a potential yield of 1.0 to 1.5 t/ha. Cashew gives yield from the third year, yet the full possible yield is about 8 kg depending on the level of management. It takes 8 to 10 years to get a tree.

Gas Explosion Kills Family of Five in Imo State. PHOTOS

Gas Explosion Kills Family of Five in Imo State. PHOTOS

A gas station located in Umuoma Nekede Owerri-west LGA of Imo state has been gutted by fire, killing a family of five.

NAIRAFAME reports that the incident which took place on Friday was triggered by a truck discharging cooking gas.

According to an eye witness, Princely Onyenwe, the truck caught fire while discharging gas and destroyed vegetation around.
“I put the blame on the carelessness of the operators of Tiengo gas station who ignored its leakage. The flaring of the gas quickly sent the fire to a nearby compound and burnt five people, four children and the wife of Mr. Onyekpandu Ekeada.
“Another residential house affected by the inferno is brothers and sisters lodge. Gas stations should not be sited around residential areas because of their inflammable nature. The Imo government should look into this,” he advised.

Onyemuche Anukam, a resident of brothers and sisters lodge, described the incident as unfortunate, appealing to the government to relocate the gas station elsewhere.
Mr. Onyekpandu, the father of the victims while speaking said that his family was seated outside the compound around 9pm when the incident took place and killed all his children including his wife.
He cried to the state government to come to his rescue, lamenting that he had lost all he lived and struggled for in life.

He gave his children’s names as Precious, Chidera, Miracle, Izunna and their mother, Marcellina.
NAIRAFAME further learned that the Deputy Governor of Imo state, Prof. Placid Njoku visited the site and consoled the bereaved family.

Climate Science and Quaternary Geology

We are about 30 teachers, researchers and PhD students who study climate and environmental changes, both under present conditions and back in time during the glacial cycles of the Quaternary period. Modern instrumental observational data are used together with information from natural archives such as lake sediments, peat bogs, ice cores, cave deposits, tree rings, glacial sediments, and archaeological material, to study changes in climate and the environment. Our research material come from the entire world and we have ongoing projects in the Nordic countries, Europe, Africa, South America, Northern Russia, the Himalayas, Canada, Antarctica and on Greenland. We also perform simulations with computers to study the functional behaviour of the climate system under conditions different from those of today. That helps us to better interpret the information stored in the different natural archives.

Geomorphology and Glaciology

Analysis of the landscape enables us to reconstruct past environments and processes; with a particular focus on glaciated and formerly glaciated landscapes. We also conduct research on contemporary processes in glaciers and ice sheets, as well as on applied geomorphology in tropical regions.

Our methods include data collection and observations in the field, remote sensing and GIS techniques, dating of glacial and other sediments, and numerical modelling. Today, we conduct research in all glaciated regions in the world, including Antarctica, the Arctic, North America, Northern Europe and Eurasia, and the central Asian highlands; but also in non-glacial regions such as the Mediterranean and East Africa.

An important component of our research facilities is the Tarfala Research Station in northern Sweden, where our department runs an extensive glacier monitoring programme and has a well-equipped base for field education in arctic-alpine environments.

Hydrology, Water Resources and Permafrost

We investigate natural processes and anthropogenic effects and their variability and change in water, land and permafrost environments.

The conditions and changes of Earth’s freshwater and permafrost systems affect people and ecosystems and are central in global change. We study these conditions and their changes in order to understand them and contribute to knowledge advancement needed for sustainable development.
We study water quantity and quality, how liquid and frozen subsurface and surface water interacts, and how water flows and carries other substances and energy with it through the landscape – locally, regionally and globally, and from past, through present, to future times.
We study soil water and groundwater, lakes and rivers, wetlands, permafrost and glacial water, engineered water systems and water use by vegetation - separately and linked in hydrological catchments, landscapes and water management districts – in different parts of the world.

Our studies include field and laboratory observations, measurements and experiments linked with quantitative modeling and computational methods.

Landscape, Environment and Geomatics

We are a diverse group of researchers that study landscapes, natural ecosystem processes, social-ecological systems and how they shift in space and time. We use ecological and societal data, geo-data, modelling and historical information. Our research focuses on understanding historical, present and future interactions of humans, plants and animals with landscapes and the environment, both in water and on land. We study landscapes and resource management, biodiversity, conservation and ecosystem services as well as feedbacks to climate. We work at multiple scales, from local to global, from genes to biome, from individual to society. Geomatics is the acquisition, management and analysis of geospatial data. It includes geographical information science (GIS), Earth Observation (EO), surveying and geodesy. Our research develops these methods to better use the capabilities of geodata for a range of applications in Earth and environmental sciences.

Polynesian Assembly asks France to organize referendum on self-determination

Pro-autonomy president wants to use the vote to show that Polynesians reject secession · Pro-independence opposition wants a "decolonization process" to be organized prior to the vote and proposes to establish a federal, sovereign Polynesia

The Polynesian Assembly yesterday adopted a resolution that asks the president of the French Republic to "implement the self-determination procedure" so that a referendum may be called in this French overseas country. The resolution was backed by 46 pro-autonomy AMs in the Polynesian Assembly, while 11 pro-independence AMs decided to boycott the vote.

The resolution comes as an initiative by the pro-autonomy Polynesian government, led by Gaston Flosse after the last election that was held one month ago. Flosse wants a referendum to be immediately held as an answer to the reinscription of Polynesia into the UN list of non self-governing territories. The Polynesian president believes that there is a wide majority in Polynesia against independence, and wants to make this clear through an official popular vote. A recent opinion poll says that Polynesians overwhelmingly would reject secession in the event of a vote.

But pro-independence leader and former Polynesian president Oscar Temaru is against the move. Especially because the Polynesian Assembly adopted yesterday another resolution in which it is stated that Polynesia is already a self-governing territory within France. The resolution also asks the UN to reconsider the decision on the inscription of Polynesia into the UN list of non self-governing territories.

According to Temaru, there should be a "decolonization process" in Polynesia, and only after that a referendum should be held. The pro-independence leader also says that French newcomers to Polynesia should not be allowed to vote in the referendum. Flosse considers instead that all the current citizens of Polynesia -regardless if they were born there or not- should be eligible to vote.

Temaru proposes a federal Polynesian state

Thinking about a referendum scenario where "yes" would win, Temaru said to local broadcaster TNTV that the Pacific country should be established as the "Federated States of Polynesia". This would reflect Polynesia's internal diversity: the country is made up of five main archipelagos, where different indigenous languages are spoken (Tahitian, Marquesan, Tuamotuan, Mangarevan, Austral and Rapa).

July 4th Hot Dog Contest Brings Back Live Audience

Popular summer fixtures are reaping the benefits of widespread vaccine access as a greater number of protected New Yorkers has allowed for a loosening of crowd restrictions, and that includes the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest.

The annual Fourth of July tradition will welcome back a live audience this year after holding last year's contest behind closed doors.

Returning champion Joey Chestnut will eat to secure his record set last year, eating 75 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes. Another record holder, in the women's competition, Miki Sudo will not be back this year after eating 48 1/2 hot dogs and buns in 2020.

Joey “Jaws” Chestnut scored a new world record and his 13th win at Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Content on July 4. He talked with NBCLX’s Tabitha Lipkin, who happens to be related to him, about his training regimen and about how the coronavirus changed the contest this year.

Last year's competition, which is normally held outside the Brooklyn flagship shop, was moved indoors. The number of men and women competing was dropped to five in each category, with plastic barriers dividing the competitors for safety.

The hot dog contest is set to be held at Maimonides Park, next door to the Nathan's shop. Tickets are free but limited and will go out on a first-come, first-served basis. Tickets requests can be made here while they last.

FOXBORO -- Trey Flowers looked to the ceiling, laughed a sheepish laugh, and shook his head. He couldn't believe it.

It was bad enough for Flowers that the CBS broadcast team had announced to its national audience that Patriots players had nicknamed him "Technique." But somehow it had been revealed that teammates also occasionally refer to him as "the G.O.A.T.," as in the greatest of all time.

"Aw, man," Flowers said, embarrassed that label made its way back to a reporter. "I just let it roll off and keep working."

RELATED Flowers' ranked high on 2017 "20 Under 25" list

Flowers is a quiet 23-year-old from Huntsville, Alabama who likes to spend extra time in the trainers room, usually with his headphones on, keeping to himself. But what he's accomplished on the field in his second year as a pro has been so impressive that it has invited waves of compliments -- including over-the-top monikers -- from those who watch him on a daily basis.

"We're trying to just have fun with that guy," said corner Logan Ryan. "He's not going to say much about himself so we'll throw some wild nicknames on him and see if he comes out of his shell."

Patriots players like to tease Flowers because he's become something of a reluctant teacher's pet. Highlighted in meetings and practices, he's held up by coaches as the model for how certain plays should be carried out. The nicknames flow. He gets embarrassed. Everyone gets a laugh.

Jokes aside, the 6-foot-2, 265-pounder's unique skill set and unrelenting effort this season -- his first season as a regular contributor -- have left even veteran teammates in awe.

"He's able to stand-up double teams, split 'em, and still make plays," said 10-year veteran Alan Branch. "I honestly haven't seen too many players with the size he is who can defend the run and the pass on the inside like him. He's the only one I've ever met like that."

Flowers was drafted in the fourth round out of Arkansas in 2015 as an undersized but dogged defensive end. Now, after spending almost the entirety of his rookie season on injured reserve, he's made an eye-opening impact lined up at just about every position on the defensive line, particularly during the second half of the season.

He's set the edge as a defensive end. He's used his strength to hold up at the point of attack in goal-line packages. And his ability to pass-rush from the interior has blown his teammates away.

Using his quickness advantage over heavier-footed centers and guards, as well as 34.25-inch arms that help him create leverage, Flowers led the Patriots in sacks (7.0) and quarterback hits (9) this season. He was also third on the team in quarterback hurries (19), according to Pro Football Focus.

All of his sacks have come since Week 8, and after the Week 9 bye his playing time reflected his value to the Patriots defense. During the second half of the season, Flowers' workload of 40.6 snaps per game was more than that of Chris Long (36.0), Rob Ninkovich (34.1) and Jabaal Sheard (27.3).

"I think he has a really good combination of length and strength and quickness," Long said. "He's able to play like he's 300 pounds, but he's not 300 pounds. It gives him versatility, and he has a really good feel for where people are leaning.

"He's a really smart player. He's one of the smartest players on our defense and one of the best players, if not the best player, on our defense."

Despite his eye-opening numbers and his recent bump in playing time, Flowers did not have the overall snap count (578 total plays) to accumulate some of the statistics that would earn him a Pro Bowl nod or All-Pro consideration. But, on a per-snap basis, he has been remarkably efficient.

For example, he's averaging one quarterback pressure (a sack, hit or hurry) for every 16 snaps played, per PFF. Ndamukong Suh (one pressure every 17 snaps), Leonard Williams (16) and Calais Campbell (15) -- all of whom do the majority of their pass-rushing from the interior -- are in a similar range.

Flowers isn't the full-time force those players are, yet the point remains: When he's out there, he's a problem.

"I think sometimes it takes stats for people that are just kind of watching to wake up to somebody's abilities," Long said. "Now he's got the production to kind of validate what's easy for guys to see that work with him everyday, which is his really unique skill set, great work ethic and really good production.

"To be rushing from the inside like that and have those numbers, I mean, look around the league. That's tough to come by."

Flowers played in just one regular-season game as a rookie before going on season-ending IR with a shoulder injury. Until this season, he was mostly known for being the guy who admitted he fell in love with football by watching Adam Sandler's character in the movie Waterboy.

But Flowers' talent was evident to some well before he had an opportunity to contribute in regular-season action. It didn't take much.

In the first quarter of his first preseason game as a pro, Flowers worked off the right edge, slapped down the hands of Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari -- who was recently named a Second-Team All-Pro -- and smothered Aaron Rodgers for a sack.

The play still sticks out to veteran defensive end Rob Ninkovich.

"I think that when you've been around football for many, many years you can just see things that certain guys are able to do," Ninkovich said. "And you can kind of quickly analyze, 'Oh this guy's got some skills that are really going to help him.' . . .

"The first few days I was around him, I said, 'This guy's got some tools. He's going to be a good player.' On top of that, his work ethic and the way he comes into work everyday, that helps guys that have some skill set to let that continue to grow and get better and better."

Flowers didn't see a great deal of time on the interior in college, but the Patriots saw him rush from the inside in a win over Louisiana State in 2014 when he picked up a sack while lined up over the right guard

Intrigued, at Patriots rookie minicamp last year the coaching staff tried him on the inside and he embraced it. He stayed late at practice. He tried to carry out every instruction he received from defensive line coach Brendan Daly.

"They put me in positions," Flowers said, "where I could get experience with that. Get the feel of the game. Try to understand it and create an arsenal of moves."

After more than a year of sharpening his skills, Flowers has had the opportunity to put his full repertoire of inside moves on display.

Against the Broncos in Week 15, Flowers lined up as a nose tackle on center Matt Paradis. On the snap, Flowers got his hands into Paradis' chest and ripped Paradis forward.

"We call him 'Technique' for a reason," Branch said.

Like a bouncer grabbing the lapels of an unruly patron, Flowers controlled Paradis by the chest plate on his shoulder pads and got PFF's highest-graded center this season on the ground.

"Obviously I can't push everybody around just because of the size difference," Flowers explained, "so you have to use their momentum against them sometimes."

With some help from linebacker Kyle Van Noy, who crashed down to occupy the right guard, Flowers had a clear lane into quarterback Trevor Siemian for the sack.

"He's just really good at using his hands, using his arms, using his leverage. All those things work together," Ninkovich said. "If you're a defensive lineman, you gotta have a bunch of things and he's got them.

"He's got great leverage. He knows when to counter and use the opponent's weight to his advantage. He really has a great feel for it. I'm trying to learn from him."

The Patriots were able to run a similar play when they hosted the Ravens the week prior. This time it was Hightower who helped clear a lane for Flowers.

When Flowers got off of his initial block on the nose, he was able to change direction and gather himself quickly enough to swarm Joe Flacco before the ball came out.

"We’re able to do a lot of different things with him in there," said Hightower. "He’s kind of a smaller-build guy, but he plays a lot bigger than that. [You saw] that in the first three or four plays in the Miami game."

The Miami game. Flowers may have saved the best performance of his breakout season for last. He didn't record a sack in the regular-season finale, but he had two quarterback hits that led to incompletions, and he posted four stuffed-runs.

One of those stuffs came when he was aligned over left guard Laremy Tunsil, the 13th overall pick in last year's draft.

The Dolphins tried to run a stretch play to the offensive left side of the formation. As Flowers flowed with the line, he saw what was developing in front of him and hurried to put a stop to it.

With his left hand, he grabbed Tunsil's left shoulder pad and stuck his right cleat in the ground, preventing himself from being ejected from the play as it was designed. Knifing into the backfield, Flowers tackled running back Jay Ajayi for no gain.

Vision. Strength. Length. Balance. Technique. It was all there.

Practice-squad defensive tackle Darius Kilgo resides at a locker a few stalls down from Flowers in the Patriots locker room. As a member of the Broncos for parts of the last two years before he was claimed by the Patriots in November, Kilgo had the chance to study big-name interior defenders like Malik Jackson (now in Jacksonville) and Derek Wolfe up close.

Even with that background, what Flowers does on film stands out.

"For a guy his size to be able to go in there and do that," Kilgo said, "is unbelievable."

Flowers was one of the biggest reasons why the Patriots jumped from 28th in the league in sacks after eight weeks to 16th by season's end. He led the team as it racked up 21 sacks in the second half of the season under the guidance of Bill Belichick and defensive coordinator Matt Patricia.

Whatever pass-rush success the Patriots find in the postseason could hinge on the play of their second-year standout on the interior.

"He’s been very productive for us in there," Belichick said, "has caused a lot of pressures, and his penetration in the middle of the pocket a lot of times opens things up for one of the other defensive tackles or defensive ends that wrap around into the space that he has created with that penetration. So it’s not just the plays that he makes, but he creates some for his teammates, too."

Flowers has become a lose-lose proposition for opposing offenses, it seems: Either focus your attention on him and allow others to make plays, or divvy up your resources and watch him embarrass you one-on-one.

Would you rather be the Jets, who allowed a Chris Long strip sack late in the fourth quarter of a Week 12 loss while Flowers was doubled inside? Or would you rather be the Broncos, who allowed left guard Max Garcia and right tackle Donald Stephenson (below) to be abused by Flowers swim moves one-on-one?

Patriots offensive linemen know what it's like. They've been faced with the Flowers conundrum on a daily basis since training camp.

"When you bring him up, the first word that comes to mind is relentless," said rookie left guard Joe Thuney. "He's always trying to get off the block, always trying to get around you. You have to stay locked in and focused on working together for the whole play when you're blocking him. He represents a pretty unique challenge."

"Trey's one of those guys who just doesn't stay blocked," said right guard Shaq Mason, before happily steering a reporter to center David Andrews, who has the misfortune of being matched up with Flowers more often than anyone else during workouts on the fields behind Gillette Stadium.

"His movement skills are very good," Andrews explained. "He's got a lot of good pass-rush moves, and he does a good job of working. He doesn't stay blocked. That's the thing, he always works to stay uncovered."

The living embodiment of Bobby Boucher's approach with a technician's polish, national attention was coming one way or another for Flowers. It just so happens that his rise to prominence has come with nicknames that make him squirm. At the very least, he acknowledged, they may be a sign that he's doing the right things at this stage of his young career.

As if his numbers weren't enough.

"I'm intrinsically motivated anyway," he said. "But any time you can get guys to let you know you're doing good, I guess it's pretty cool."

Who to watch in the DII Baseball Championship

  Eight teams head to Grand Prairie looking for the 2017 national championship.

The Division II Baseball Championship commences on Saturday from Grand Prairie, Texas. Eight teams battled through their respective regions to have a chance at the national championship. Neither defending champion Nova Southeastern nor national runner-up Millersville return, which means DII will have a completely new look in the championship series.

This tournament is wide open. Delta State was the only No. 1 seed to advance from its region. Quincy, Lindenwood, St. Thomas Aquinas and UC San Diego all present compelling underdog stories. West Chester and North Georgia are two of the hottest teams in DII. And Colorado Mesa hasn't stopped hitting the cover off the ball since February.

So, who do you watch?

DII Baseball Championship bracket

Delta State

Record: 44-11

Coach: Mike Kinnison

Key players: It’s a Zac Attack. Junior Zack Shannon is fourth in DII in batting average (.442) and ninth in home runs (19), while making some solid relief appearances out of the bullpen as well. Senior Zach Osbun is one of the more dominant relievers in the division, shutting the door eight times this season behind a 1.16 ERA.

What you need to know: Kinnison earned the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Coach of the Year, earning his sixth trip to the DII Baseball Championship, winning it all in 2004. The Statesmen are the highest nationally ranked team remaining, as they have been near the top of the rankings for most of the season. They have a balanced attack, batting .320 as a team, blasting 63 home runs and scoring 442 runs, which helped them sweep through the South Region, becoming the only top seed to advance.

North Georgia

Record: 46-10

Coach: Tom Cantrell

Key players: Freshman Bill Leroy paces the team with a .425 batting average, while junior Connor Hoover leads the team with 18 home runs and 72 RBI. Junior Daniel McCrary (2.13 ERA) leads a three-man rotation that all boast an ERA below three.

What you need to know: The Nighthawks are a run-producing factory. No one has scored more than their 515 runs this season in DII. Pair that with a pitching staff that boasts the 11th-best ERA and 18th-best WHIP in DII, and it's a dangerous scenario. That combo is what helped UNG sweep through a very tough Southeast Region, including victories over No. 15 USC Aiken, No. 1 Mount Olive and No. 22 Catawba. A somewhat surprising loss in the Peach Belt Conference tournament may have awoken one of the most balanced teams remaining.

UC San Diego

Record: 40-17

Coach: Eric Newman

Key players: Senior outfielder Jack Larsen has been a beast all season, hitting .346 with team-bests in home runs (14) and RBI (59). Sophomore first baseman Tyler Durna leads the team with a .371 batting average. Senior righty Adrian Orozco anchors a staff with a strong bullpen as well. The starter is 9-0 with a 2.86 ERA.

What you need to know: The West Region is one of the toughest there is, with seeds one through six all contenders for a title run. Four of the teams were nationally ranked heading into the regional and the other two received votes. Whoever survived this gauntlet had to be considered a serious player in Grand Prairie.

That's assuming the Tritons have anything left. They swept through the West, going a perfect 4-0, defeating both No. 11-ranked Azusa Pacific and No. 16 Dixie State two times. They don't have a lot of star-power -- none of UCSD's lineup were All-Americans -- but they have incredible balance. As a team they hit .309, and as a pitching staff -- bullpen and starters combined -- they were tough on opponents with a 3.69 ERA. UCSD will have its hands full with St. Thomas Aquinas in round one, but could come out on top and carry over some momentum from the regionals.

Catcher Kyle Serrano is part of a high-fueled offense at Colorado Mesa. He hit .411 this season, belting nine home runs and a team-best 23 doubles. He also is slick behind the plate, posting a .982 fielding percentage and throwing out eight runners.

First base: The aforementioned Zack Shannon of Delta State hit .442 with 19 home runs and a DII-best 88 RBI. He also pitched six innings in relief, striking out seven and picking up a save. Any question on why he is the NCWBA DII Player of the Year?

Second base: The Midwest was arguably the most Cinderella-bracket of them all. Two teams were making their NCAA postseason debut, while Saint Joseph's was playing its final games as a college. Quincy emerged wearing the glass slipper, adding to the drama of the region. The Hawks NCBWA First-Team All-American Jake Walters was a key cog in Quincy’s first-ever trip to the championship. Walters hit .320 with 18 home runs and 56 RBI.

Shortstop: Joseph Pena of St. Thomas Aquinas earned Honorable Mention All-American honors this season. He did it behind a .391 batting average with six home runs. He also stole 24 bases and posted a .526 on base percentage, sixth in DII.

Third base: North Georgia’s Michael Gouge was solid all season. He hit .379 with 20 doubles, 10 home runs and 60 RBI while getting on base at a .527 lick, fifth best in DII.

  Colorado Mesa's Bligh Madras is a finalist for the Tino Martinez Award.
Outfield: Colorado Mesa can flat out hit, with the best team batting average (.340) in the tournament. The Mavericks right fielder Bligh Madris is amongst the best in DII with the seventh-best batting average in DII (.438), 16 home runs, and 66 RBI. He also made eight appearances out of the bullpen on the season.

Delta State’s junior Clay Casey swings a big bat as well, hitting .346 with 17 home runs on the season.

St. Thomas Aquinas surprised a few people winning the East Region behind two double-digit victories over No. 6-ranked Southern New Hampshire. That was in large part due to the East Regional Most Outstanding Player and Honorable Mention All-America Giovanni Dingcong, who batted .301 with 18 home runs on the year, being a dual power-speed threat with 24 stolen bases.

Utility/ Designated hitter: Quincy's Troy Wehde is listed as a catcher on the roster, but has played in the DH slot for much of the season. The junior is having a career-year, leading the Hawks with a .353 batting average. He had seven hits in their Midwest Region title-run, including his 12th home run of the season.

Starting pitcher: Kyle Leahy of Colorado Mesa was undefeated in his First-Team All-American season. The sophomore right-hander was 13-0 on the season with a 1.22 ERA, second best in DII.

Junior Frankie Moscatiello was the ace of the St. Thomas Aquinas staff this season. He went 9-1 with a 1.59 ERA, striking out more than a batter per inning.

West Chester’s junior ace Mike Cippola earned All-Region honors in the Atlantic Region. His 1.75 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and eight wins were all team bests, while he also walked a team-low 13 batters.

Closer: If Lindenwood can get the ball in senior Connor Law’s hands, there is a good chance the game is over. Law went 6-1 this season, recording 12 saves, tied for eighth best in DII (along with Quincy’s Cole Crawford who is also in the championship). He struck out 9.63 per nine innings as well, so he can bring the heat.

3 North Carolina Home Improvements Worth the Investment

Shows like Fixer Upper and Property Brothers are fun to watch and inspire many homeowners across North Carolina to think creatively about how to upgrade their homes.  For both sellers and buyers, completing home-improvement projects can be rewarding and can make a home in Charlotte, Lake Norman, Wilmington and the Triangle more attractive and functional; however, whether just moving in or preparing to sell a home, Flat Fee Realty agents recommend clients consider the return investment before spending large sums of money on major renovations.

These three upgrades are worth the investment because each one increases resale value:

  • Update a dated bathroom: A nice bathroom to pamper oneself goes a long way in the housing market. Bathroom remodels normally earn back up to 100% of what homeowners put into it. Not sure where to start? Tile the area around the tub, and add a shower door. Upgrade the vanity (choose something both stylish and functional with storage space) and install a new faucet. If there isn’t any ventilation in the bathroom, adding a new bathroom vent fan may help keep the humidity and mildew from warm showers at bay.

  • Add curb appeal: First impressions are everything. If the house exterior needs cleaning, try remedying the problem with a spray like Wet & Forget. If it still looks dull and faded after that process, consider freshening up the outside of the home with a professional power wash, then a fresh coat of paint. Next, think about the light fixtures both for safety and curb appeal. Finally, a nicely-landscaped lawn can go a long way. Start by trimming any overgrown bushes or trees. Then, consider consulting a landscaper or even a local garden center for ideas.

  • Upgrade the kitchen: Kitchens are another great place for upgrading for a solid return investment. Try to avoid the cheapest materials, but don’t overspend by purchasing items that are more luxurious than functional. Also, remember that while television shows entertain viewers with major renovations, many homeowners can create beautiful spaces with a few simple changes. For example, consider creating storage space that makes items easily-accessible, add granite countertops, and add an upgraded backsplash.

Before spending money on a major renovation, clients should contact a Flat Fee Realty agent to ensure their plans align with the interests of most buyers. This will increase the likelihood of getting a return investment on one’s home-improvement projects.

This post on selling and buying a home in the Triangle, Wilmington, Charlotte, and Lake Norman is brought to you by the team at Flat Fee Realty and is intended for informational purposes only.

Check out some of the most frequently asked questions about Nellie’s Free Range Eggs. If you can’t find what you’re looking for here, please contact us and we’ll be happy to get you the answers you’re searching for.

Our hens

Path 4 Copy 22 Created with Sketch. What does free range mean?

Each of our partner farms follows the Humane Farm Animal Care (HFAC) Certified Humane Free Range standards. Being free range means that during most times of the day and year, our hens are free to roam outside as they please. This is very different from cage free, which typically does not involve any amount of outdoor access.

We do have to ensure that our free range hens are safe from predators and disease, so we can’t allow them outside if ground predators such as fox or coyote are seen in the immediate area. During migratory bird season, we protect our birds from exposure to diseases such as avian mites or avian flu. On rainy or cold days, our hens enjoy dust bathing and socializing in their spacious hen houses.

Learn more about our free range hens here.

Path 4 Copy 22 Created with Sketch. What is cage-free? Is it the same thing as free range?

Not at all! Cage free does represent an incremental improvement over the current industry practice of battery cages where hens can’t move. But despite the name, Cage Free is still caged. The new aviary systems being rushed to market to meet the demand for cage free are gigantic floor to ceiling metal enclosures full of layers, catwalks, and doors. It’s a bit better of a life than not being able to move, but the hens never see the outside and these are still very much factory farms with all the inhumane practices intact. Check out this blog post to learn more about the differences between cage free and free range.

Path 4 Copy 22 Created with Sketch. What does pasture raised mean?

Pasture raised is another term that has emerged in recent years. While there are no USDA standards supporting the term, responsible producers are providing the hens with grass pasture to forage on, just like free range. The debate comes in with respect to how much space is “enough” for hens.

Our free range hens have a minimum of 2 square feet per hen of pasture, and that’s an average for every hen in the flock. It is very rare for all of the hens to choose to be outside at any one time during the day. Most of them prefer the shade, water, feed, or social opportunities inside the barn, so the girls that feel like venturing out usually have a vast expanse of a field all to themselves to explore. Some folks who produce under the “pasture raised” term offer even more average space than this, but that space does not come free and is often reflected in the price of those eggs on the shelf. We think that we’ve found the right balance with Certified Humane Free Range for our hens, farmers, and consumers alike.

Learn more about the difference between free range and pasture raised here.

Path 4 Copy 22 Created with Sketch. What happens to sick or injured hens?

To start with, we don’t have many. Our free range hen flocks have a pretty good life. Our farmers keep an eye on their flocks all day long; it’s a round the clock job! Whenever we find a sick or injured hen, we separate, treat, and then return her to the flock when she’s back to full health. We never administer antibiotics at any time.

In general, we have far less challenges with disease and injury than conventionally raised caged hens because we don’t overcrowd them. They have access to the outdoors, fresh air and water, and can socialize with their hen cliques. All of this makes for a healthy and safe environment for our girls.

Path 4 Copy 22 Created with Sketch. Do you give your hens antibiotics?

No. This practice was adopted by factory farms to deal with the constant filth and disease that infests their chicken-filled warehouses. They will typically treat healthy hens with antibiotics as a prophylactic measure. In contrast, our barns are airy, uncrowded, clean, and safe. If in the rare circumstance a hen is discovered to have a health issue requiring antibiotics (and this is very rare), she will be segregated from the main flock and treated. Her eggs will not go into our cartons until she is fully recovered and off any medications.

Path 4 Copy 22 Created with Sketch. Do you give your hens hormones?

We do not. And the use of hormones is illegal for anyone raising poultry. Unfortunately, that is not the case with other types of farm animals.

Path 4 Copy 22 Created with Sketch. How many eggs does a hen lay per day?

It’s right around 1 per day for most. A flock will average around 307 eggs per hen over the first 52 weeks of laying. This will decrease a bit as the hens age.

Path 4 Copy 22 Created with Sketch. Do you feed the hens corn or soy?

Our Certified Humane Free Range hens spend most of their days foraging outdoors for bugs and tasty greens, but unlike cows or sheep, they are not ruminants and cannot subsist solely on the pasture that’s available to them. That’s why we provide our hens with a supplementary feed containing corn and soy. The soy is a great source of additional protein, while the corn provides carbohydrates. There is also a wide range of other beneficial nutrients and minerals in our feed that help to keep the hens healthy, like electrolytes and sodium bicarbonate. To quote one of our feed suppliers “those hens eat healthier than I do!"

We have never had a customer complain of soy allergies being triggered by eating our free range eggs. In fact, as we understand it there is likely almost no trace amount of soy left in an egg after a hen lays it. The American Egg Board website is a good resource on this subject: their research suggests that eggs should probably be considered gluten free as well. Still, if you have allergies or concerns about corn or soy in your diet, it’s always a good idea to consult a health professional before consuming eggs.

Path 4 Copy 22 Created with Sketch. Do you de-beak your hens?

We do not de-beak our hens, but we do follow a practice accepted and recommended by Certified Humane, our third-party animal welfare certifier, of mild beak trimming. This is not for our financial benefit, but for protecting the weakest members of our flocks. The goal of a correctly administered beak trim is to prevent a sharp hook from developing on the end of the beak. The scientific committee of Certified Humane determined that a very minor trim of the sharp tip of the beak on or before the chick is ten days of age is humane, and often more so than leaving aggressive hens with a means to hurt others, no matter how much space is available to them. Although free range hens can be wonderful and nurturing, the reality is that they can also be incredibly cruel and vicious to the weakest members of the flock.

The beak trim has traditionally been administered by trained professionals at our small family pullet farms under Certified Humane guidelines. Our company is always looking for how to do things even better, and we recently began transitioning to an infrared mild beak trim performed at the hatchery when the chicks are one day old. The benefits of this method include a more consistent and even trim, less stress for the hens because they don’t have to be caught and handled, and less risk of disease for the pullets transmitted from the beak trimming crews who visit multiple farms. We hope to fully convert to this method over the next few years as the hatcheries which service our small family farms upgrade their equipment.

A great resource for more detailed information about beak trimming standards can be found at Certified Humane’s website here.

Our eggs

Path 4 Copy 22 Created with Sketch. Do you wash your eggs?

We do, and are required by the FDA’s food safety requirements to use a light, organic approved soap to wash our egg shells. After the eggs are washed, they are sanitized with a mild chlorine solution. Our quality assurance team monitors critical control points like wash- and rinse-water temperature, detergent levels, and more. Additionally, our eggs are routinely tested to ensure their quality. This removes the cuticle (or bloom) from the egg which acts as a natural protective coating, so our eggs must be refrigerated at all times.

Path 4 Copy 22 Created with Sketch. Are your eggs organic?

No. Our free range hens are fed conventional grain from reputable suppliers, but we cannot guarantee that this feed is free of pesticides or GMOs, and therefore it cannot be considered organic. Our eggs are a great choice for customers who would like eggs from hens treated with kindness and to the Certified Humane Free Range standard, but at a lower cost than organic eggs

We do, however, offer another option for customers who are concerned about pesticides and GMOs. Our Pete and Gerry’s Organic eggs are produced by Certified Humane Free Range hens also raised on small family farms, but these hens are fed exclusively organic grain which is free of any pesticides or GMOs. Our organic eggs are a little more expensive because of the feed costs, but we feel it is a fair price for bringing organic eggs to market without shortcuts. You can find out more about Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs here.

Path 4 Copy 22 Created with Sketch. Where can I buy Nellie's Free Range Eggs?

We’re proud to say that our eggs are sold in grocery stores, supermarkets, health food stores, and other locations nationwide. Please check our store locator for a store near you.

Path 4 Copy 22 Created with Sketch. I can't find your eggs at my local store. What should I do?

We find that store managers are eager to carry products that their customers ask them for, so we suggest letting your store manager know that you would like to see our free range eggs at your store. You can also drop us a line at [email protected] and we’re happy to see what we can do to help.

Path 4 Copy 22 Created with Sketch. Are your eggs pasteurized?

Our eggs are not pasteurized, so we unfortunately cannot recommend that you consume them raw. We do, and are required by the FDA’s food safety requirements to use a light, organic-approved soap to wash our egg shells. After the eggs are washed, they are sanitized with a mild chlorine solution. Our quality assurance team monitors critical control points like wash-and rinse-water temperature, detergent levels, and more. Additionally, our eggs are routinely tested to ensure their quality.

Path 4 Copy 22 Created with Sketch. What causes different egg shell colors?

Egg shell color is determined by the breed of hen and is often related to the color of the feathers over the hen’s ears. Brown hens, like we have, typically lay brown eggs and white chickens lay white eggs (although there are a few breeds of white chickens with brown ear-feathers that lay brown eggs). Note that shell color is not related to the nutrition or quality of the egg inside. Occasionally, you may also see pigment spots on shells as well. These speckles are typically caused by deposits of extra calcium during the shell calcification process (and they can be quite beautiful!).

Path 4 Copy 22 Created with Sketch. What causes double yolks?

Double yolk eggs are fairly rare (about 1/1000) and tend to be very, very large - in fact, they’re typically graded as “super jumbos” due to their size. These eggs primarily come from younger flocks that are just learning how to lay eggs. All of the farm fresh eggs go through the sorting machine together and, once they are identified as super jumbos, are sent to the first packing station where they are hand packed because they are too big for the machine to pack. They are then packaged as jumbos, even though they are technically super jumbos. All day the hand packing station runs, filling jumbo cartons with super jumbos. These Super Jumbos are over 50% double yolks. As these cartons are filled, they all go into the same case. So, even though they are rare, double yolk eggs often wind up in the same cartons.

Path 4 Copy 22 Created with Sketch. Why am I seeing paler yolks than usual?

Natural fluctuations in yolk color can be due to flock age, the weather, the season, and even flock location. The bugs that the hens peck at also can play a part in the yolk color thanks to their high protein content. Each hen is unique and their eggs typically reflect that as well.

We routinely check our eggs for color and that they are generally much darker than caged, commodity eggs, representing their more natural and varied diet, but sometimes there are lighter yolks as well due to all these variables.

Path 4 Copy 22 Created with Sketch. Why are your eggs so hard to peel?

We take great pride in providing eggs that are farm fresh. Subsequently, the fresher the eggs the harder they can be to peel. This is because the egg white or “albumen” in a fresh egg has a relatively low pH level, making it acidic. When cooked, these fresh egg whites bond strongly to the inner shell membrane. As an egg ages, the pH level rises and the inner membrane is less likely to bond to the albumen, so the shell peels off much easier.

There’s a wise tip on steaming farm fresh eggs from The Prairie Homestead that we’ve found works well for many of our consumers.

Our farms

Path 4 Copy 22 Created with Sketch. I’ve read bad things about male chicks. What happens at Nellie's?

To fully answer your important question about  male chicks, we’d like to explain a little bit about how our farms work.

We are deeply committed to how our free range hens are treated from the day they are born. We take ownership of our hens when they are delivered to us at 16 or so weeks old. Prior to joining us at our farms, these hens are hatched at a hatchery and raised by small family farms in free range pullet houses. The hatcheries that supply our hens are operated by companies ISA/Hendrix and HY-line, which own the rights to the genetics. These hybrid breeds have been developed especially for egg-laying productivity and it is what makes commercial egg farming possible at the prices consumers currently enjoy. We do not currently have the resources or expertise to produce our own breed of egg laying hens, which is why we have chosen to work with these hatcheries.

Once the chicks are hatched, they are sorted by gender. The female chicks will become egg laying hens and are transported at one day old to the pullet house. Unfortunately, there is no role for male chickens in egg farming. Male chickens from laying breeds are not suitable for meat because they mature very slowly. Additionally, even in a free range environment, a rooster’s tendency to fight would create a terrible, inhumane environment for hens. So, given that there is no viable market for the male chicks, the hatcheries euthanize them. To do this, the hatcheries use one of the practices recommended by the American Veterinary Medical Association. We do not have control over which practice they use and it varies depending on the hatchery. We wish that there was an alternative, but there currently are no hatcheries available to us that produce chicks without male chick culling.

All this being said, we do not believe that we can stand by idly and pass the blame onto hatcheries. They are producing chicks for farmers like us, so we must own some of the responsibility for current practices. As part of our commitment to the humane treatment of hens from the very beginning of their life, we are serious about doing our part: we have spoken with company leaders at the hatcheries and advocated for the end of male chick culling. The hatchery/hen genetics industry is very consolidated with only a few companies worldwide. They are headquartered in Europe where there has been much greater political will to force change - for example, the German government has stated that male chick culling will be phased out in Germany over the coming years. Germany, the Netherlands, and the European Union, in partnership with the hatchery parent companies, are providing financial support to various university research efforts occurring in Europe.  There are several in-egg technologies to sex the eggs, which are rapidly progressing in testing. We maintain contact with researchers at the University of Leipzig, Germany and Project In Ovo in the Netherlands and plan to offer financial support to them. Their work is focused on commercializing a prototype in-egg sexing technique.

In addition to working with researchers, we are working to partner with nonprofits, such as Compassion in World Farming, to support their efforts around this issue. We are also partnering with Unilever, who has taken a leadership role on this issue, to coordinate efforts and bring positive change to the United States. Commercializing the technology and bringing it to the U.S. is going to require a team effort and we are taking a leadership role in this effort.

While we cannot change the entire egg industry at once, we are committed to building a sustainable business at a scale large enough to create meaningful progress in the way laying hens are raised and treated in the U.S. Currently, over 90% of eggs consumed in the U.S. are produced in horrific caged environments.

We are optimistic that as consumers become more interested in how our food is produced, we will continue to see improvements in the humane and ethical treatment of farm animals from their first day to their last.

Path 4 Copy 22 Created with Sketch. How many family farms do you work with? Where are they located?

We have over 40 independent, family owned and operated farms in our network. These are small, free range farms usually run by two parents and their kids. We are very proud of the fact that our company can provide a realistic living for those families that still want to farm in a world of industrial scale agriculture. Our network currently spans the Northeast and Midwest, and we’re always expanding our reach. You can find a map of our partner farms here.

Path 4 Copy 22 Created with Sketch. May I visit one of your small family farms?

Our partner farmers hold tours at their farms throughout the warmer months, and we would love to have you join one! Click here to see if there are any upcoming farm tours in your area.

Path 4 Copy 22 Created with Sketch. What happens to the hens when they are too old to lay eggs?

We have put a lot of critical thought and research into the best way to address our hens at the end of their laying days. There are several options to consider.

First, we could keep them ourselves. In order to feed and house our retired laying hens for the remainder of their lives, we estimate that the cost of a dozen eggs would be at least $12.00 at the shelf. We feel that this would not be affordable for our consumers. Additionally, it would prevent us from achieving our broader aim of building a sustainable business at a scale large enough to create meaningful change for the way laying hens are raised and treated in the U.S.

The next option is adoption. Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to find a way to make this work either. We have found that there is some interest locally in adopting hens, but not nearly enough for us to move several thousand hens in time for the new flock to arrive.

Our last option is for the hens to be sold for food. Even this option is not without difficulty because laying hens have far less meat than broiler hens who are bred specifically for that. Many commercial egg laying hens are simply euthanized and landfilled at the end of laying, and as farmers, that seems terribly wasteful to us. So, while we know some consumers will be unhappy to learn that our hens go on to be used for food, we do feel that it’s the most responsible thing to do.

At the end of a flock’s natural laying cycle, we contract with several poultry transportation and processing companies to purchase our birds. These companies send trained and certified humane handling poultry crews to our farms to pick up the hens. At this point, the hens belong to that company, but we have worked with them to ensure that our birds are going to acceptable follow-on markets.

There are currently two main markets for our birds, each receiving about half of the overall quantity. One is live poultry markets where consumers are able to select live birds for consumption. The other is a US federally inspected processing plant that specializes in processing “light poultry,” including laying hens. This plant uses the latest technology to ensure the hens are quickly and humanely slaughtered. For consumers who want eggs from hens that are never slaughtered, we understand our eggs will not be a suitable option. We encourage these consumers to raise their own hens for which there are excellent resources available online.

While it’s important for us to continue to move the bar on humane egg production, we also feel that it’s important to remember that over 90% of eggs consumed in the U.S. are produced in horrific caged environments. For those hens, their best day is the day when they are finally put out of their misery. We believe Adele Douglass, the founder of Certified Humane, said it best: “our hens only have one bad day.”

We’re proud to say that in 2013, we became the first egg company in the world to achieve Certified B Corporation status based on our commitment to the environment, our workers, our farmers, and our communities. Learn more about what being a B Corp means to us here.

Path 4 Copy 22 Created with Sketch. Should I eat eggs past the best before date?

Unfortunately, we cannot recommend that you eat our eggs after the date printed on the packaging. In general, we use a “use by” date on our cartons. This means that the eggs should be consumed on or before that date. Use of a “sell by” date is not federally required, but may be required by certain states. If your carton does specify “sell by” near the printed date, then the eggs can be consumed within 15 days of that date.

Path 4 Copy 22 Created with Sketch. Why do you put your eggs in plastic cartons?

This is an important question that we get quite a bit! As a values-led certified B Corporation, we are diligently committed to people and the planet, and therefore we wanted to base our decision on research and real data.

We found that although plastic is often associated with negative environmental impacts, our cartons are actually better for the environment than traditional molded fiber cartons made of pulp. An independent life cycle analysis has shown that molded fiber cartons have more than double the carbon footprint of our cartons. Our RPET egg cartons approach “carbon neutral” and generate significantly less environmental impact than comparable plastic cartons.

Our cartons are made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic. In many parts of the country, there’s a surplus of recycled soda bottle plastic, and each carton puts that surplus to good use. The cartons are made from the world’s most widely recycled plastic, so they are readily accepted by most recycling programs and considered a #1 plastic. When recycled again, our cartons are significantly less harmful to the environment than recycling pulp packaging, consuming far less energy, and water, with no waste or added chemicals.

Also noteworthy is that the paper inserts are recyclable. The inserts contain 10% of recycled fibers, and the paper we use comes from a North American paper mill that is FSC certified (Forest Stewardship Council).

Finally, the plastic cartons protect the eggs better than pulp, which is something many of our customers appreciate. You can easily check for cracked eggs by just turning the carton over.

Path 4 Copy 22 Created with Sketch. What's the trick to opening your cartons?

Great question! Our recycled packaging does a great job of keeping our eggs inside, but we understand that it can sometimes be a bit tricky to open. Here is a how-to video from some of our youngest farmers!

Path 4 Copy 22 Created with Sketch. Did I see a Nellie's Free Range Eggs truck picking up eggs at a huge factory farm?

We actually weren’t there to pick up eggs - quite the opposite! We sometimes deliver our eggs to these locations in order for them to make it to the store. This is known as Direct Store Delivery. We prefer to deliver our eggs ourselves right to their warehouse or stores but in many cases and due to pre-existing distribution contracts, we have to deliver to a big factory style egg producer who will load our eggs onto their trucks and make the delivery. That’s why you might see our egg trucks at those locations from time to time. We would never source our eggs from those places, but we do have to hitch a ride on their trucks now and then.

Yescom Brings Its Products to the World with an ERP Upgrade

Yescom, a leading ecommerce company, has been in business for over 18 years. The business has since grown to include a range of products, including household equipment, electronic products, sporting goods and industrial tools. It also expanded its operations outside USA and China to the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and Japan. Faced with the growing popularity of ecommerce and fierce competition in its industry, Yescom needed to exchange its original ERP system for a suite with more functionality.

“Oracle NetSuite is very lightweight, flexible and comprehensive. It supports multiple languages and currencies, so our colleagues around the world can operate with ease.” Amy Chen, General Manager, Yescom

As Ecommerce Expands, Yescom Consolidates

Managing thousands of SKUs
Today, Yescom has more than 5,000 SKUs. The company processes more than 4,000 orders per day, and average monthly sales total is more than $8 million. To handle this growth and its expansion, Yescom needed more efficient operational management and better integration between its supply chain and ERP system. Leadership also craved the ability to personalise Yescom’s marketing while creating new services and products quickly.
Global business, global platform
As the company grew, Yescom found itself with multiple sets of data stored in multiple systems—and no communication between them. That led to inaccurate reporting and thus inaccurate forecasts. The company also lacked the data necessary to make decisions around sourcing and transporting inventory in a cost-effective way. Finally, Yescom realised its need to establish a single source of data across the five countries in which it operates.
Integration and efficiency matters
Yescom replaced the financial functions of its previous ERP system with NetSuite. With the previous ERP, the company could not generate real-time reports or easily comply with international accounting standards. NetSuite helps Yescom conform its noncompliant or high-risk operations: For example, the inventory adjustment functionality directly recalculates costs, sales, revenue and receivables. Yescom is also able to manage more of its supply chain—from suppliers to distribution to logistics.
The future is calling
Beyond its operating system, NetSuite’s consulting resources, as well as those of its partners, have helped Yescom grow. In the future, Yescom will continue to use NetSuite to expand front-end marketing functions and enhance its operational management.
