one of the largest propagators of vegetable plants in Poland - has 27 years of production experience The group was founded by Grzegorz and Agata Krasoń in Piaski (central Poland) and Marta – currently work together with them production is carried out in 4 locations in central and northern Poland Their latest investment and technological innovation is the installation of VYPR 3p R8 LED modules from Fluence The modules work in a hybrid system with the existing HPS lamps numbers and trendsAccording to the Krasoń Group the demand for young vegetable plants has been growing the annual production of vegetable plants was approximately 200-250 million pieces we have been producing over 450 million pieces of young plants annually" there has been a strong increase in the production of broccoli the production of lettuce and open field tomato plants are also growing very strongly – these orders are almost doubling compared to 2019 and 2020" The Group's young plants are mostly sold on the domestic market approximately 8% of the total production is exported Karol Grzeczka (production manager of Złotów) says: "Last season the Krasoń Group produced over 435 million plants for open field crops he adds: "The production of young plants for organic farming has not increased in recent years Young plants for organic constitute a small share of our company's production approximately 5 million plants of various species per year Organic plants are produced in the company's greenhouse in Piaski The production manager also elaborates on the production of greenhouse vegetable young plants: "Last season The production of greenhouse tomato plants is dominated by grafted plants (86% of this production) the vast majority of customers order plants ready to be placed on slabs (83% of orders) Only 17% of production are young tomato plants (25 days) Propagation under LED modules in a hybrid lighting systemMichał also tells about the development of the company's lighting system."Initially we only used high-pressure sodium (HPS) lamps for lighting these lamps had less power and efficiency than today HPS lamps had a photon flux density of 60-70 µmol/m2 per second Now HPS-lamps achieve values from 80 to 115 µmol/m2/s" He continues: "We decided to purchase LED lamps to obtain higher radiation values our goal was increasing the light intensity rather than saving electricity By installing Fluence VYPR 3p R8 lamps on an area of 3 hectares in a hybrid system with the current HPS lamps we improved the results from 80 to 125 µmol/m2/s with the same energy consumption as when we used HPS lamps only." The same lamps from Fluence are currently installed in the greenhouses in Kisiele (also in a hybrid system with the current HPS lamps) the company aims to increase light levels from 110 to 125 µmol/m2/s while reducing energy consumption by 25% Michał further explains their choice for the Fluence LED modules: "Various LED modules have been tested in their greenhouses during the last 4 years a uniform distribution of light in the hybrid system was an important feature The aisles of the greenhouses in Złotów are 12.80 m wide and the lamps are hung not on grids but on profiles running along the aisle – Each aisle has two of these profiles and HPS and LED lamps are hung on them in a chessboard arrangement With VYPR 3p R8 Fluence modules propagators Złotów achieved a satisfactory uniformity and light level." He adds: "Fluence VYPR 3p R8 modules produce light with a spectrum of 80% red Their production requires lamps with a universal light spectrum The reason behind this is that young plants of various vegetable species are produced in the same greenhouses throughout the entire season we conducted research with other growers from different countries we previously tested these modules for a season The future: hybrid or full LED lighting?"The Krasoń Group is currently focusing on hybrid lighting and now producers are slowly starting to switch to hybrid lighting there are only a few propagators in Europe (Germany and France) who use full LED modules," says Michał we saw differences in the greenhouse's climate such as in the temperature and humidity distribution That's why we give ourselves a few years to work in a hybrid system before we make further decisions such as switching to a full LED lighting system," he adds Michał and Karol have noticed a difference between plants produced with lamps and those produced with a hybrid system (HPS and VYPR 3p R8) the most important thing is that our customers can see this difference We receive calls from our clients who say that it is clearly visible that these plants grew under different lamps than before the leaves and the side shoots are better developed and stronger The company's plants are under the hybrid lighting system hybrid lighting with Fluence Broad R8 Spectrum allows for easier visual plant assessments than with red & blue full LED systems (without green light) there was full support from Fluence regarding both technical and horticulture aspects and Peter Hendrix have a wide knowledge of photobiology and support the grower during the investment," conclude Michał and Karol Propagation in ZłotówThe Krasoń Group's team highlights that their northernmost facility in Złotów produces almost all year round production starts with the first sowings of greenhouse tomatoes (for deliveries at the end of November) The vast majority of greenhouse tomato plants in Poland are delivered to customers in December and January Tomato young plants are also produced for summer plantings and cultivation in a short cycle The facility's production of open-field crops starts at the beginning of January with the sowing of lettuce The production of open-field tomato plants starts in March The production of lettuce plants is carried out throughout most of the season last year the last lettuce plants left Złotów at the beginning of October The facility starts to use assimilation lighting in seedling greenhouses at the beginning of tomato seedling production (from October onwards) The assimilation lighting is continued during the production of young plants of all vegetable species " Lightening may even continue until May 10 This depends on the weather and the amount of natural solar radiation in a given season," explains the production manager from Złotów He continues: " Each species is lighted according to its requirements tomatoes are normally lighted for a maximum of 18 hours a day and open field vegetable young plants for 12 hours" Automated facilitiesThe Krasoń Group points out that the facilities in Kisiele and Złotów have automated processes for open-field crops' young plants production internal transport is carried out on platforms the transport of trays or boxes from the seeder to the greenhouse the transport from the greenhouse to the hardening area as well as the packing of boxes with seedlings.| An example of automatization is in one of Krasoń Group's facilities Another example offered by the Group is the automated production of greenhouse vegetables' young plants carts for setting and spacing cubes for young tomato or cucumber plants and a robot for caning (at the facility in Kisiele) The Krasoń Group's history in shortIt all started in 1997 with a small nursery in Piaski Grzegorz and Agata Krasoń gradually expanded the nursery and improved their skills in propagation they have 5 ha of greenhouses and 1 ha of hardening area in Piaski The group's next investment was Złotów Nursery where they started young plant production in 2013 There are plans to build another 0,5 ha of hardening area The Krasoń Group's facility in Piaski (Poland) The newest Krasoń plant was built in Kisiele where the group started propagation in 2019 Kiesle has 4 ha of greenhouses and over 1 ha of a hardening area here they have building plans: 3,5 ha of greenhouses (and accompanying hardening areas) are expected to be launched within the next 2 years Another investment of the Krasoń Group was the purchase of a 9-ha greenhouse nursery in Kowalew this location has produced pickling cucumbers part of this area (2 ha) will start producing young celery plants Krasoń Group nurseries will comprise 21 hectares of young plant production Source: Pod Osłonami www.podoslonami.pl For more information:Grupa Producentów Rozsad Krasoń Kisiele 4097-340 RozprzaTel.: (+48) 44

for their 2023 reunion on July 29 and the dedication of a new Michigan State sign celebrating 150 years (1873 — 2023) of continuous ownership of the Homestead there are now more than 500 different family names in the Wojda Clan resulting in well over 2,500 descendants of patriarch Matthew Wojda The country of Poland is the land of Wojda/Woida ancestral roots Matthew and Teresa worked throughout the countryside as farmers and raised their family between the towns of Zlotow and Lobzenica Paul became a student of a Catholic canon priest including such things as harnessing the horses after Mass recalled one occasion when Paul attended a church fair in Gorka near Lobzenica and a priest who was supposed to preach a sermon in German was late There was a tradition on the feast of Whitsuntide (Pentecost) that sermons were to be given in both Polish and German “I will preach it although I am not prepared for it.” He did end up preaching a very touching sermon in German Paul continued to develop his horse grooming skills and knowledge of farming and 10 children were born between 1838 and 1863 It was Jozef who would later homestead the family farm near Posen some 100 people died of cholera in Lobzenica The family eventually settled in Milwaukee Some of the Wojdas worked in the breweries in Milwaukee and other family members constructed houses in the Milwaukee area Concerned about Jozef’s safety back home Jozef was just finishing up his three-year commitment in the German military under “Iron Chancellor” Bismarck but as soon as he received word and passage fare He traveled northwest through Poland to the Port of Bremen where he boarded the SS Hermann as passenger #169 bound for the Port of New York narrowly escaping the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871 passing through Pennsylvania and Ohio before arriving in Milwaukee to join his family he worked for a short while in a Milwaukee brewery with friend John Mulka Michigan to work in a lumber camp in what is now the Village of Posen under the profiteering lumber baron Albert Molitor To escape the inhumane treatment of workers in the camp one night Jozef fled the barracks through a window Jozef returned to Milwaukee to marry Michalina Durecka on Sept While working for Molitor as a blacksmith and lumberjack Jozef had become well aware of the lay of the land in the vicinity along the north edge of section five in Posen Township Jozef began burning the brush and removing the stumps and trees left behind by the lumberjacks to clear a site to build a log home Fourteen more children were born to Michalina and Jozef in Posen Township during the period of 1874 through 1899 Two of their children (second generation) later acquired the farm from them The first was daughter Johanna (Wojda) and her husband Frank Rygwelski from 1909 to 1911 in 1911 Frank and Johanna reluctantly signed off about three cleared acres on the west edge of the farm to the Detroit and Mackinac Railroad Frank apparently was hired during the Calcite quarry startup Woida was then able to leave Crawford’s Mill and repurchase the farm from them Joseph (second generation) married Michaline Romel of Posen who eventually gave birth to nine children Joe and his family commenced building up and operating the farm for the next 32 years Joe excelled at his favorite trade of carpentry Joe’s son Henry (third generation) took over the farm in 1944 the same year he married Grace Janiszewski from Maple Ridge thanks to the Detroit and Mackinac passenger train which ran on tracks (now a recreational trail) on the west edge of the farm They raised nine children in the second homestead house a “Starlight” Sears and Roebuck kit built by Henry’s parents when he was 5 years old but a second herd was started in the 1950s The family also grew potatoes and other cash crops and raised hogs and fowl Hank and sons could be found working in the woods north of U.S.-23 Grace was treated to a nostalgic ride in the train engine on its last run from Orchard Hill to the Calcite Quarry in 2000 Leo Woida (fourth generation) married Pamela Prieur from Alpena and purchased the farm in 1972 but when a surveying job opened up at Stoneport Pam worked at several care homes while they raised their five children Pam and Leo opened the Orchard adult foster care home on the farm which has since been taken over by their daughter Michaelene (Woida) and Randy Kroll and is now called Orchard Manor Woida (fifth generation) purchased the farm in 2011 Joe had the opportunity to repurchase the east 40 acres of the original homestead that Jozef had sold off in 1882 to help pay bills The Sears and Roebuck house turns 100 this year and is currently being renovated by Joe Joe Woida and Sarah Purol are putting up hay A few farm cats keep them company as life goes on at the Homestead Three of Leo and Pam’s grandchildren (sixth generation) live on or near the farm and are often seen there This article was submitted to The News by

received a thank-you letter from the monarch King Charles wrote: "I was most touched to receive your generous message and hope that you Thank you for your very kind support during what has been a busy year This card brings you my warmest good wishes for the New Year." Members of the school community told the media that the students wrote to Buckingham Palace because they are fascinated by British history and culture PETOSKEY — While working on an archaeological dig in Israel Owen Chesnut has helped uncover clues and artifacts about how ancient civilizations lived an adjunct professor at North Central Michigan College is the head archaeologist on a dig site in Ashdod-Yam a coastal area in Israel that lies near the Mediterranean Sea some of which has already been uncovered and recorded but thousands of years worth of artifacts still remain buried under the sand Chesnut detailed his experiences in Ashdod-Yam on Thursday at North Central Michigan College in Petoskey during a presentation titled “Digging Up History in Israel: Archaeological Exploration at Ashdod-Yam." Chesnut said he was always interested in history but first decided to pursue archaeology as a child when he visited the head of the anthropology department at the University at Albany he chose to focus on the Middle East region in part because of the abundance of historical texts that give archaeologists clues about where to look that is a historical document so there is a lot of historical information for that area,” Chesnut said You can use your archaeology to help understand texts.” Chesnut has participated in two digs at the Ashdod-Yam site evidence has been unearthed that points to how people lived during the Iron Age One find in particular provided an exciting moment for Chesnut an ancient Philistine cultic deposit was discovered that contained several chalices used to burn incense or other herbs "That was really cool because it kind of revealed itself out of the middle of this wall,” he said it helped us date the wall and any kind of cultic material or religious material is always interesting That was probably my favorite moment of the actual dig.” The presentation was well attended by college and community members Attendee Rachael Zlotow said it was “one of the best presentations I’ve ever sat in on.” “It seems as if so much was built upon civilizations "You dig and you uncover that there’s walls that are still intact underneath the surface I wasn’t anticipating that there was still that much intact.” Attendee Jerry Duran added that the presentation is getting him “re-interested” in archaeology “I’m very much interested in archaeology,” he said North Central Michigan College students might soon have the chance to participate in an archaeological dig Chesnut announced during his presentation that he is working on setting up a field school for local students to journey to Ashdod-Yam and work with him at the site sometime in 2017 one in the spring and one in the beginning of the summer and then students who took those courses will come on the dig and they will receive credits for digging as well," he said they’ll actually experience digging and learn how to dig and then on the weekends we’ll do tours around Israel.” Chesnut added that it’s important for students to have the opportunity to experience different cultures and get a hands-on education in history “I think it’s important to get out of your own neck of the woods and experience different cultures other than your own,” he said “Here (at the college) they offer anthropology classes intro to archaeology classes and history classes and those are all things where you look at pictures and read about it in books It’s being able to hold aspects of history in your hands.”
