The bank of Brahmaputra at Guwahati in the morning is a very interesting place. Almost the entire vegetables and greens that the capital of Assam consumes come from the villages on the north bank of the river. The cultivators are mostly Bangaladeshi migrants, both legal and illegal. The stuff is carried on heads or on shoulders poles with hanging twin baskets, Vietnam style! The ferries can be seen in the background.

The warehouse and parking lot is lit exclusively by LED lighting. LED lights are an estimated 69 % more energy-efficient than incandescents; produce significantly less waste heat, optimal for a refrigerated environment; and can last an estimated 20 years. LED lighting will save the company an estimated seven million kilowatt hours of electricity over five years and help avoid an estimated $645,000 in costs over the same period. Per year, that’s enough electricity to power an estimated 121 average-sized Canadian households.

A late running QRNational Melbourne to Brisbane 6MB7 intermodal service at Jindalee, New South Wales. The CLF and CLP locomotives are still in the livery of previous owner Genesee & Wyoming - 3 February 2007.
These locos were placed in storage in 2013 and were thought unlikely to run again. Yet remarkably CLP9 was purchased by Southern Shorthaul Railroad in late 2019 and is likely to be reactivated some times in 2020 or 2021..

These sunbathing containers are soaking up the rays, stacked high and ready for their next cargo adventure . They could end up anywhere in the world—Shanghai, Sydney, or São Paulo—just by being next in line for the journey. Each one’s got a story to tell, from rusty edges to faded labels, whispering tales of distant ports. And then, there’s the green one, standing out in the crowd, shouting, ‘I am special!’ Who knows where they’ll go next?

In the seed processing plant at Bidasem, a worker visually examines and manually sifts maize seed on a conveyor belt, picking out material such as damaged or spoiled seed or pieces of cob. After initial cleaning and sorting, all seed that goes through the plant passes through quality control. If a sample from a batch is found to more have more than 2% impurities, they are either separated out by hand like this or using a gravity table. The batch is then resampled to ensure a clean bill of health to continue processing.
Bidasem is a small seed company based in the central Mexican plains region known as the Bajío. It produces approximately 10,000 bags of maize seed a year, each holding 22.5kg, as well as producing wheat and oat seed and marketing seed of other crops. Despite their small size, Bidasem and similar companies play an important role in improving farmers’ livelihoods. “Our aim is to provide farmers with quality seed at accessible prices, that is adapted to the conditions we have here in the Bajío. It’s a great satisfaction, when farmers achieve the yields they need,” says director general María Esther Rivas.
“Without CIMMYT, we couldn’t exist,” says Rivas. She sells four different maize hybrids, all formed from freely-available CIMMYT parent lines. “Really the most important thing is to produce your own hybrids, and for us it wouldn’t be possible if we didn’t have the germplasm from CIMMYT. What we’re currently producing is 100% CIMMYT.” The relationship between Bidasem and CIMMYT is now deepening through participation in the MasAgro initiative, which includes training courses for seed companies and collaborative trials to evaluate the best seed.

Samples of seed (clockwise from top left: treated wheat, untreated maize, and treated maize) waiting to be used in germination tests at small seed company Bidasem. These tests are carried out on each batch of seed just after it arrives from the field (before it is stored), directly before processing, and after treatment (just before packaging). The seed is are grown for fixed periods at known temperatures on a damp paper substrate to check its germination rate and vigor.
Bidasem is based in the city of Celaya in the central Mexican plains region known as the Bajío. It produces maize, wheat and oat seed, as well as marketing seed of other crops. Despite their small size, Bidasem and similar companies play an important role in reaching small farmers with improved seed that offers them better livelihoods. “Our aim is to provide farmers with quality seed at accessible prices, that is adapted to the conditions we have here in the Bajío, says director general María Esther Rivas. It’s a great satisfaction, when farmers achieve the yields they need.”
