>>>ff- meatloaf homemade meatloaf is a familiar comfort food to many, but many meatloaf recipes can be high calorie and high fat. in this week's episode of the food
factor, natasha haynes with tells us how to give meatloaf a "food factor makeover." >>>> take pkg >> natasha haynes, family and consumer sciences, msu
extension. nothing says home cookin' like a delicious slice of meatloaf. but i'm ready for a new twist to an old favorite family favorite.
it's time for a food factor recipe makeover! meatloaf may seem old- fashioned, but it gives you an opportunity to get creative! try combining ground
meats, such as beef, turkey, chicken, or pork. for or a low calorie meatloaf, you can even substitute ground mushrooms for a portion of the meat.
traditional recipes call for breadcrumbs as a binding agent, but you can also use instant rice, cornflakes, crackers, croutons, or oats.
don't tell the kids, but meatloaf is a great place for sneaky chefs to hide vegetables. carrots, spinach, zucchini, celery, onions, and bell peppers all make
nutritious additions to this dish. you can even further disguise your veggies by serving mashed cauliflower and steamed broccoli instead of the usual mashed
potatoes and peas. so, next time when you make meatloaf try one of these options, or create your own secret family recipe! (ding)it's time to make healthy food a
factor in your life. natasha says rest your meatloaf for "five minutes" after it comes out of the oven. it will taste better and cut more easily. >>> sg-winter
gardens >> ford - "landscape color" can be hard to come by in the winter. southern gardening segment, extension horticulturist dr. gary bachman
with mississippi state university gives us some ideas on "combining" different landscape plants to make the winter season beautiful. >> gary bachman, phd, assistant extension
horticulture professor, university extension. we are lucky to be gardening in mississippi where we are able to use a combination of plants for winter
color. combining shrubs, trees, flowers and edible plants can make the cool season exciting and beautiful. today southern gardening is back
visiting our friend catherine and her beautiful landscape. creating the background for the winter color are the foundation plantings of japanese cleyera. the foliage is thick
and leathery with bright red petioles. the new leaves emerge reddish bronze and mature to a lustrous, dark green. catherine has planted colorful
matrix pansies in white, blue and bulldog burgundy. matrix pansies are some of the best choices for mississippi landscapes because they hold their
flowers high above the foliage. peacock ornamental kale adds foliage color along with feathered leaves. the deeply serrated leaves add interesting extra
texture. blue and purple pansies are great planting companions. bright lights swiss chard is a favorite of mine with stems of red, yellow, gold and white.
this plant is a visual feast for the landscape. the colors are stunning when full grown. in the summer months catherine's red lace leaf japanese maple
is gorgeous. but after the leaves have fallen in the fall i love the ghostly twisted and contorted shapes of the branches. i love creativity in the landscape and
taking advantage of planting opportunities. where the fronds have been removed from this canary palm, catherine has planted pansies in the resulting
pockets. in the summer she plants impatiens in the natural palm shade. just because its winter doesn't mean you have to take the season off in the
garden and i'm horticulturist gary bachman for southern gardening >>> toss vo visit the southern gardening web site for other ways to spruce up your
winter landscape.. >>> vo / sms in our feature segment today... we look at the year in review for 2015. see if you remember what youve forgotten....
>>> l.s./intro/bullets (a.f.) time for the markets with a lot of pressure on soybean prices. (l.s.) the problem is big stocks of beans all around the world, and supplies
continue to grow. other stories >>>take graphics coming up as well.... demand remains weak for cotton... the price of fertilizer moves lower...
processing is up for the year just ended. >>> l.s./soybean analysis the consensus among traders seems to be that theres little upside for soybean prices.
arkansas extension economist scott stiles says theres a lid on both old and new crop. the problem he says is the record supplies on hand. stiles says a
weather issue this year is about all that could improve the situation. >>>take video/sot >> scott stiles extension economist ark. cooperative extension
well it looks like old crop prices are really weak. going ahead out into may futures we could see that dip below 8 dollars. and i wouldnt be surprised if we saw
old crop, may futures, dip down into the 7-50 area. its a little early to give a complete outlook on the 16 crop. but id say that right now were looking at
prices that are sub-9- dollars. if you see opportunities at 9, 9- 10, uh, 9-25, in that area, those, based on what we know today, those are pricing opportunities for
the 16 crop. and well just have to see where we go weatherwise later in the summer. >>> l.s./market interview meanwhile the cotton market is on
the defense as the new year cranks-up. a combination of negative talk from china and disappointing u-s-d-a numbers has the market in pull-back mode.
extension ag economist brian williams discussed the situation with me. >>>take video/sot dominate the cotton market this week, and this month.
but lets back-up to the supply-demand report. it did move the market, but not exactly in the right direction ? >> brian williams, ph.d. economist
university not where we expected. the big thing with the report is that they reduced the total cotton production, they decreased acres by about 70-
thousand acres from last month. they did increase the yields by one-pound per acre. and that brought us down by about 90- thousand bales from a month ago for
total cotton >> leighton spann reporter so some folks may be wondering why is the market struggling so price-wise when there is less cotton in the forecast ?
well theres i guess a couple of things playing in, mostly outside factors. uh, demand is really hurting, the prices in the markets, and that showed-up in this report.
but theres also, as you mentioned, china, and their economic struggles and thats really playing a role in prices as well. but basically it kind of comes down to a demand issue,
influenced even on the other side of the world so to speak ? it does. as i mentioned they left exports unchanged in this report, but i think a lot of the numbers
came out before we saw the problems with china. but domestically they reduced consumption by 100- thousand bales. now getting specific about china, they
have announced or it maybe heresay, but that they may intend to sell a chunk of their stockpile, the government stockpiles of cotton. what would that
mean to this market ? well its really hard telling at this point. they tried to do the same thing i believe it was this last summer. and the prices were so high that they
were trying to sell out of their stockpile that not a whole lot of it got sold. if theyd sell it at a lower price we could see an impact. but we really have
to wait and see partially at least where they price those stocks. is there a possibility this market may drop to the high 50-cent level ? nobody has a crystal
ball, but theres some talk of that. unfortunately i think it is possible. looking back over the last few months we saw prices dip- down close to that level over the fall.
but then they rebounded. but if theres a perfect storm, whether it be with domestic demand and china, it could push possibly push it down below 60.
>>> l.s./fertilizer prices there is this good news for farmers this week. dropping prices for fertilizer are being noted in the u.s. by d-t-n.
for the third week in a row some price declines are being described as notable. d-a-p prices deflated the most, now down 7-percent from a month ago.
the prices for potash and anhydrous are each reported to be 5- percent lower now than december. >>> l.s./trivia question lets break for the
trivia quiz now. here it is... what was the first breed of beef cattle to be developed in the united states ? is the answer... santa gertrudis ? black angus ?
brahman ? or hereford ? stay with us for the answer... >>> l.s./catfish were going to pause for a short break on farmweek-- coming up, well
look at the calendar and the rest of the markets. leighton spann reports farm sales of catfish are up while stability is returning to the hog market.
>>>> vo segment today well look back at the year 2015. it saw far reaching changes on the national and world stages. (public service
announcement) >>> calendar >> ford before we get back to the markets, lets look at the farmweek calendar.... the north mississippi

farmweek.msucares. com for information on these and other events. now, lets check out this weeks snapshot.... >>>> out >>>> farmweek
snapshot >>> mpb promo 1 report we lead the second half of the markets with the latest snap- shot of the u.s. farm- raised catfish industry.
it was released january 17th, and reflects the market in the month of december. u.s. producers received a pond-bank price of a dollar and 11 cents per pound
for premium-size live fish in december. that is down 3-cents from a year ago. farm sales totaled almost 25-and-a-half million pounds round weight, an increase of 2 percent from
december of 2014. processor sales meanwhile just crossed the 12- million pound mark for the month. january through december processing was up 5-percent
over the same period in 2014. >>> l.s./hogs analysis the hog market has gotten some relative stability as the month moves along. trader ted seifried discusses where he
sees the pork sector going in the winter months. >> ted seifried v.p. - zaner ag hedge i think we've had good reason to kind of come off lows. i think we got maybe
cheaper than we should have. so now that we've been able to bounce a fair amount of it is going to depend on what happens with beef prices. if you really
collapse there you might lose some of that consumer demand that we have built up here recently. but either way i think the lows might be in now for hogs.
and any bigger pullbacks might be good areas for us to step in and make some purchases. >>> l.s./trivia answer back to the trivia quiz to wrap things up for this week....
a is the right the breed was developed on the king ranch in texas and officially recognized by the u- s-d-a in 1940. >>> 2015 review segment today, we
look back at the year in review for agriculture on the 2015 saw policy set on the global level that promises to affect u.s. residents on the local level. it was a year of
national controversy and, as always, the weather. market to market's paul yeager looks back at the year that was. >> sen. sheldon whitehouse, d
rhode island: "this pipeline could already be a zombie pipeline&dead man walking. >> paul yeager reporting: the keystone pipeline was billed as a way
to move oil from the tar sands of canada to the gulf of mexio. >> "hearing none, the ayes are 62, the nays are 36, senate bill one as amended is passed. >> reporter: even
with senate approval to authorize construction, the plan was vetoed by president obama in february. the president would snuff any last hope for the pipeline in
november after years of delays. >> president obama: "while our politics have been consumed over whether or not this pipeline would create jobs and lower gas prices,
we've gone ahead and created jobs and lowered gas prices." >> reporter: although not directly tied to lower prices for crude oil, the late year drop below $2
for gasoline was the lowest at the pumps since 2009. crude oil would teeter under $40 for much of december, 18 months removed from the $100 per barrel price.
in november, the united states had the most oil in reserves since 1972. coupled with opec continuing to flood the market with product, oil- producing states of
north dakota and oklahoma face a dire start to the new year, even with the help of the federal government opening the doors for black gold exports. economists in middle
america cited a stronger u.s. dollar and lower oil prices were limiting imminent economic optimism. >> dr. ernie goss, creighton university economist: "the
manufacturing sector is linked to either agriculture, energy or exports, are in some cases two of the three. those areas are having a tough time of it."
>> reporter: some producers looked to new trade agreements to bolster foreign demand. the passage of the trans-pacific partnership by
several countries is still without u.s. approval. congress has yet to decide if boosting trade is worth the potential loss of jobs that move overseas.
another world meeting aimed to change culture, or in this case, climate. a deal between 195 nations was reached at the united nations climate change summit held in paris.
the landmark accord vows to lower greenhouse gas emissions as a way to stave off drastic effects. india's prime minister continued his claim the problem isn't
solely the fault of the third largest emitter of greenhouse gases. >> narendra modi, prime minister, india: "we have to ensure, in the spirit of climate justice, that
the life of a few doesn't cloud out the opportunities for the many still on the initial steps of the development ladder." >> reporter: winter brought snow in the
normal and non- traditional locations, like foot of snow in alabama, breaking records set in the 1890s. california's drought drug on for a fourth season, again
crippling a region and racking up at least $3 billion dollar in damages. congress held hearings to see what assistance could help and what options were viable.
>> michael connor, deputy secretary of the interior: "water conservation is not going to create a new supply for a new demand, but it certainly can lead to saving water, being
able to put that in storage, maintaining flexibility of the situation." >> reporter: as further conservation plans were implemented, tough choices were
made across the golden state. >> mike jensen, public relations officer, merced irrigation district, "this year for the first time, growers within the district will get no
water from lake mcclure. their only water they will have access to is ground water. some of our growers have private wells they'll
be able to use. and some of our growers are in areas that they can get access to mid's wells, where we will be pumping a minimal amount of ground but it's a mere
fraction of what they would depend on typically from this lake." >> reporter: water has long been a contentious issue in california as rural and urban interests
collided over the precious resource. mandatory reductions were experienced by 77,000 farmers and 38.5 million residents, sparking water rights battles and
even the dusting off old technology in attempt to find new water. >> helene schneider/mayor santa barbara, california: "we know this drought will
end, one day. mother nature is not telling us when, but it will. and we know, on a future date, we'll have another drought. and the question is
is there a role for desalinated water in the interim." >> (voting) >> reporter: and a case of what's in the water had many in the corn belt on notice.
>> bill stowe/ceo & general manager/des moines water works: "we're very confident that these are clear point- source groundwater polluters that are
coming from agricultural use." >> reporter: the water plant in iowa's largest city sued three northwest iowa counties upstream over pollution from
agricultural runoff. the des moines water works suit survived one legal challenge and is being watched all over the united states to see if this litigation sets precedent.
meanwhile, the waters of the united states rule was upheld by a court of appeals further defining what bodies of water are under federal regulator jurisdiction.
>> gina mccarthy/epa administrator: "our goal in this rule is very straightforward. it's to respond to requests from stakeholders across the country to make
the process of identifying waters protected under the clean water act easier to understand." >> reporter: what was hard for some federal officials to
grasp early this spring was how h5n2 or avian flu was spreading from farm to farm and causing $3 billion in lost revenue. the deadly bird flu slammed turkey and
chicken producers in 15 states. more than 48 million birds died from the virus or were euthanized in an attempt to curtail its spread. barns on infected
farms were emptied and fallowed for months. producers had to wait for the green light to get back into the poultry business. >> reporter: any one
