Is a bumper crop really enough
Barley and oats are among the world’s top 10 most produced grains – numbers four and six, respectively. Scientists with the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) are working to improve those rankings and help American farmers while they’re at it. kAmp44@C5:?8 E@ E96 &$sp’D u@C6:8? p8C:4F=EFC2= $6CG:46[ p>6C:42? 32C=6J 8C@H6CD AC@5F465 c]_d >:==:@? >6EC:4 E@?D W2 >6EC:4 E@? :D a[a__ A@F?5DX @7 8C2:? :? a_ab\ac[ 2? :?4C62D6 @7 f A6C46?E @G6C E96 AC6G:@FD J62C] ~2E AC@5F46CD 4@?EC:3FE65 `h]bd >:==:@?

Support the Prince William Times by becoming a member
And if you hang with me, I’ll tell you how you can become a “member” of your local news organization, much like National Public Radio has members, and essentially become part of our family. But let’s get the scary part out of the way first. In 2023, an average of 2.5 newspapers closed each week across the United States. About 3,000 newspapers have closed in the last 20 years, and the trend is getting worse, not better. That 2023 number is actually up from 2 papers closing per week in 2022.
We're making changes to the Prince William Times this week
This week’s Prince William Times has a new look. The newspaper has undergone its first significant redesign since it shifted from its traditional broadsheet format to a tabloid style format in 2017. We’ve kept the tabloid style but shortened the page, reimagined the front cover and built what we hope is a newspaper that is simpler to navigate, more visually appealing and easier to read. This was a big project that took more than six months of work, and some elements are still a work in progress.

Respiratory Pathogens at Exacerbation in Chronic Bronchitis With Airway Bacterial Colonisation: A Cohort Study
1 Introduction COPD and bronchiectasis [1-4] are common causes of morbidity worldwide. Exacerbations are a major source of this morbidity [5, 6]; therefore, treating these exacerbations is paramount. People with COPD and bronchiectasis are susceptible to airway colonisation by pathogenic organisms. These organisms include Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) and Haemophilus influenzae (HI), which are common [7] and associated with poor outcomes [8-10].

Transplanted Bees Help Blueberry Fields Flourish
Pollinating bees are in decline, and those that remain may not be up to the task of pollinating all the crops needed to feed the nation. To help keep food on the table, researchers are looking to native wild bees to take up the slack, especially for blueberries and other fruit crops.
Use sun to produce green plants, energy
Higher temperatures caused by climate change threaten crop yields and ranch animal health, but a team of researchers from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service has a plan that will not only save crops and livestock but also help power farms and the nation. The plan involves placing solar panels in Southwestern U.S. farm fields and ranches.

FROM THE PUBLISHER'S DESK: Your stories inspire us. Your support makes it possible
I had been in my new role as publisher of the Prince William Times for just a few weeks when I opened a file in our system and read the most amazing story. A nursing assistant named Erica Sutherland was riding with her family on Interstate 66 when she saw a flash of lightning strike a motorcyclist and throw him off his bike. Her nursing instincts immediately kicked in and she yelled “stop the car!” Her family told her when she jumped out, the vehicle was still going more than 20 miles an hour.

Multi-purpose living mulch improves soil health and farmer’s bottom line
Who doesn’t like a two-for-one deal, or a double-double, win-win? A team of USDA scientists in the upper Midwest is working on a double-cropping system that is showing promise as a way to improve a farmer’s profit margin by growing cattle feed between rows of a cash crop, in this case corn or soybean. In the off-season, the second crop acts as a living mulch that prevents soil erosion and improves soil health.
Exploring the influence of ancient and historic megaherbivore extirpations on the global methane budget
Significance Most large mammals are endangered or vulnerable across the globe. Although the loss of charismatic fauna is of great concern, their role in ecosystem function remains poorly characterized. Here, we quantify one potential effect of the decline of large herbivores: the reduction of the greenhouse gas methane released as a byproduct of plant digestion.

Scott Elliott: People with HIV are living longer, which brings a whole new set of problems
Twenty-five years ago, when Dr. Peter Jepson-Young made the “Dr. Peter Diaries” documenting his experience living with AIDS, the idea of people with HIV aging into their senior years would have been unthinkable. Now, due to improved treatment regimes, we are beginning to learn about the impacts of aging with HIV. This is an emerging issue as over half of people in B.C. living with HIV are over the age of fifty. Studies are beginning to show that seniors with HIV exhibit fragility at an earlier age.
