FW from Dr. Martin Entz: please send to grad students in Plant and Soils departments
by Bev Godard 03 May '12

03 May '12

-----Original Message----- From: Martin Entz [mailto:mentz@cc.umanitoba.ca] Sent: May-03-12 11:41 AM To: Bev Godard Subject: please send to grad students in Plant and Soils departments Dear Students, The Plant Science graduate course "Advanced Crop Production (PLNT 7660)" will be offered in the fall term 2012. This 3 credit course focusses on new developments and new thinking about crop production issues. I welcome all graduate students to this course. The only prerequisite for this course is that you are enrolled in a graduate program. This year's theme will be "Agronomics of food security and food sovereignty". We will review assumptions underpinning food security actions and we will discuss practical "on the ground" approaches for food security and food sovereignty. The course will not officially begin until September 2012 but there will be monthly get togethers in June, July and August and a possible short summer tour. The summer component is important because it allows students and instructors to visit field sites. The fall component of the course will be shortened slightly to account for the "classroom hours" in summer. If you interested in taking this course, please contact Dr. Martin Entz at m_entz(a)umanitoba.ca -- Dr. Martin H. Entz Professor of Agronomy and Cropping Systems Department of Plant Science University of Manitoba Winnipeg Canada visit my website: http://www.umanitoba.ca/outreach/naturalagriculture/

Grad student offices
by Bev Godard 02 May '12

02 May '12

Good morning to all, Please be reminded that the hallway and inside doors to the grad student offices are to be closed and locked at all times. This morning at about 9:30am, I noticed that the hallway door from Grad offices 147 was wide open, and no one was inside any of the offices. This provides a perfect opportunity for theft. Bev Godard Secretary to the Head Department of Plant Science University of Manitoba 222 Agriculture Building 66 Dafoe Road Winnipeg, MB R3T 2N2 Ph: (204) 474-8563 Fax: (204) 474-7528

Further to John's e-mail below, would you please take a look at your folder contents on the "S" drive and move/delete any content that is no longer needed on that drive. Thanks, Bev -----Original Message----- From: agriculture-all-bounces(a)lists.umanitoba.ca [mailto:agriculture-all-bounces@lists.umanitoba.ca] On Behalf Of John Schoffner Sent: April-25-12 3:12 PM To: agriculture-all(a)lists.umanitoba.ca Subject: Novell Disk Spring Cleaning IST has asked me to project the amount of Novell disk space that the Faculty of Agriculture and Food Sciences will need for the next year. If you are a Novell user, please review files located on your Novell H: drive, shared departmental folders, as well as files located in the S:\public directory, and delete any unnecessary or outdated files. The purpose of this cleanup is to reduce the size of the monthly (complete) backup, and to prepare for the eventual migration of the data to the Microsoft Active Directory file system. There appear to be a large number of files that date back to 2008 or earlier. The Novell file system is not meant to be used as a long-term storage method. Users should be burning these files to DVD or transferring them to an external hard drive. If you have any questions about how to organize your data on the Novell network, please do not hesitate to call me. Thank you. -- John Schoffner - LAN Coordinator Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences www.umanitoba.ca/afs John_Schoffner(a)umanitoba.ca 474-9670 _______________________________________ AGRICULTURE-ALL mailing list AGRICULTURE-ALL(a)lists.umanitoba.ca http://lists.umanitoba.ca/mailman/listinfo/agriculture-all
