Market Bulletin - Georgia Department of Agriculture
GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE • GARY W. BLACK, COMMISSIONER • WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 2015 • VOL. 98, NO. 13 • © COPYRIGHT 2015 Farmers harvest social media for customers, ideas By Morgan Davis Technology is a little slower to take root on Southern farms. It wasn’t until the 1950s that mechanized harvesting revolutionized the picking of cotton below the MasonDixon Line. Over the ensuing decades, advances in technology have changed the face of farming in ways too numerous to count, but farmers are still cautious to adopt the latest craze - like social media and this whole World Wide Web thing. There’s no better time to embrace the change, however, as farming is becoming cool again, so to speak. More consumers these days choose to “eat local” and take a more active role in knowing the sources of their food. Hence the growing popularity of pick-your-own farms like those highlighted inside this issue of the Farmers and Consumers Market Bulletin; they’re in vogue among consumers who want the freshest produce available, and also among parents who want INSIDE THIS ISSUE Farmland for Rent/Lease...........2 Pick-Your-Own Produce.............6 Scaring Crows............................7 Touring the Farm...................... 12 Notice Published by the Ga. Department of Agriculture Gary W. Black, Commissioner Mail to: The deadline to submit ads for the Aug. 5 issue – including Farm Services and Handicrafts – is noon July 22. their children to know that food doesn’t grow in grocery stores. Unlike grocery stores, however, farms are dynamic places. Crops don’t always follow a schedule, and farmers are finding there’s no more immediate and direct way than social media to alert potential customers to changes in the field. That’s why you’ll find more farms and farmers popping up online, testing out the latest technology in their hunt for newer, better and easier ways to grow crops, and to find customers for their commodities. “I highly recommend stepping into this century of social media,” said Paulette Taylor, farm manager at Sunshine’s Berry Farm in Ft. Valley, Ga. Social media has opened up communication between the farmer and consumer. In so many fields outside of agriculture, it has evolved from sharing personal photos and updates to business networking. Taylor uses Facebook to not only keep consumers informed about her own crops, but to also promote Georgia agriculture in general. “As crops on the farm grow, I post pictures of the progress on Facebook, but I also like to keep it personal so consumers can relate,” Taylor said. Social media and farm web sites are also great ways for farmers to demonstrate their commitment to safe and sustainable production by showing and telling consumers directly about their on-farm practices. “Transparent communication is always good for a farm to be able to show its integrity,” said Jessica Holt, assistant professor of Agricultural Communication in the University of Georgia’s College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. Not only can a farmer connect directly with the consumer but he or she can also use social media to connect with fellow farmers, extension agents and crop consultants to share ideas and get questions answered in a prompt manner. “To be considered active on social media, farmers don’t have to post pictures or share personal information,” said Holt. Farmers who’ve begun to take advantage of social media are finding that it is generating activity out on their farms. Calhoun Produce, an agritourism location in Ashburn, Ga., promotes its “Fun on the Farm” activities online. Social Media and See SOCIAL MEDIA, page 12 GEORGIA GROWN PROFILE: Wicker & Whisk sells the taste of the South Born and raised in Georgia, Lara Lyn Carter is no stranger to Southern hospitality. Her strong Southern roots and affinity for cooking inspired her to pursue a career that would allow her to share her passion for Southern entertaining with others. With extensive experience and a wealth of classic Southern recipes under her belt, Lara Lyn created and hosted Savor the Good Life, a television program dedicated to showcasing the history of Southern entertaining and cuisine. The show, which aired from 2012 to 2015 on WALB-TV, the NBC/ABC affiliate for southwest Georgia, was a glowing success and was honored with an award from the National Association of Broadcasters. In 2014, Lara Lyn published her first cookbook Southern Thymes Shared, a guide to entertaining complete with themed menus ranging from Easter dinner to football kick-off parties. The book, co-written with wine expert Doc Lawrence, also features handpicked wine pairings to complement each menu, en- suring a flawless entertaining experience. She is currently working on a new cookbook due out in 2016. Lara Lyn Carter’s new show, Thyme for Sharing with Lara Lyn Carter, premiering as part of Georgia Public Broadcasting’s summer lineup, will follow Lara Lyn as she travels around the south, drawing inspiration from iconic dishes in each location. Every episode will end with Lara Lyn providing the viewer with her own twist on the classic Southern dish, as well as the perfect wine pairing, ensuring a flawless dining experience. The season will consist of four pilot episodes and will include quintessential Southern destinations such as Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello in Charlottesville, Va.; Jekyll Island, Ga.; Nashville, Tenn.; and Gray Moss Plantation in Leslie, Ga. This month, Lara Lyn is also launching her very own product line, Wicker & Whisk. The collection currently consists of three sauces that put a bold new spin on American family favorites, taking classic tried-and-true flavors and elevating them to the next level. The Merlot Steak Sauce, Port Wine Mustard and Homegrown Herb Dressing will soon be available in select grocery and specialty stores across the Southeast. An advocate of “keeping things local,” Lara Lyn Carter recently decided to partner with Georgia Grown, a marketing initiative of the Georgia Department of Agriculture that she was first introduced to three years ago on her debut television series. Lara Lyn credits her decision to partner with Georgia Grown to its commitment to promoting local businesses and their products. “I knew that I wanted to be partnered with something that has such a positive effect on this state,” said Lara Lyn. “I am proud to be going out beyond Georgia with what I am doing and taking some Georgia Grown with me.” For additional information, please visit www.laralyncarter.com.

The anticipation of such a trip conjures bucolic fantasies of a happy, healthy family outing, but the reality can be quite different if you’re not properly prepared. Donald Snare, owner of the Snare Farm in Gillsville (northeast Georgia), offers these tips for visiting a pick-your-own farm: Bolingbroke Blueberry Farm Crops: Blueberries 9748 Estes Road Bolingbroke, Ga. 478.994.1120 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Saturday Opening June 26; closed July 4 1) Stay cool. Wear a hat, use sunblock, and stay hydrated. Mornings are the coolest time to pick. 2) Wear practical clothes, especially shoes. Sneakers are ideal. After all, you’re visiting a farm! 3) Bring insect repellent. Ask the farmer if there are any fire ant mounds to watch out for. 4) Supervise children, and explain what is ripe for picking. It’s a wonderful experience for kids (and a good photo op!), and it teaches them where food comes from. 5) Bring shallow, open take-home containers. They allow produce to cool down without condensation, and protect soft fruit such as blackberries.

Free Classes Teach Finance to Young Farmers AgGeorgia Farm Credit and AgSouth Farm Credit are offering free financial workshops this summer for young, beginning, small and/or minority farmers. Topics of the AGAware workshops include budgeting and risk management, preparing a business plan, and an introduction to the marketing assistance available through the Georgia Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Farm Services and Small Business administrations. “The Farm Credit System has a mission to serve agriculture and rural America, and it’s been doing that for nearly a century,” said Van McCall, director of the AGAware program. “In support of that mission, AgSouth Farm Credit and AgGeorgia Farm Credit provide loans and supporting services to farmers in our territory. Our hope is that our counsel along with the support of other key agricultural entities will help ensure that future farmers will be prepared and financially strong so they may continue doing what they love and providing something so vital to our survival.” Applications for scholarships for continuing education through Farm Credit University will be available to graduates of AGAware.

Growers in Brooks, Colquitt, Tift, and Toombs counties need to buy, review, or modify their policies before the sales closing date has passed. Crop insurance provides protection against crop production losses due to natural perils such as drought, hail, and excessive moisture. Crop insurance is sold and delivered solely through private crop insurance agents. Growers are strongly urged to contact an agent as soon as possible for premium quotes and more details. A list of agents is available at all USDA Service Centers and online at the RMA Agent LocatorCost Estimator www.rma.usda.gov. Growers can use the RMA to get a premium amount estimate of their insurance needs online. Learn more about crop insurance and the modern farm safety net at www.rma.usda.gov.

May Weather Gave Farmers a Break Warm and dry conditions during most of May allowed many Georgia farmers time to get in the fields and finish planting, which had been delayed by a wetter-than-normal April. The lack of rain left some areas with severe drought conditions, even at the end of the month when rains soaked most of the state. Hay harvesting was ahead of schedule due to the excellent drying conditions, but dry conditions also caused problems with germination in some dry land peanuts and other crops and stressed some dry land corn crops. The dry conditions caused the U.S. Drought Monitor to identify a developing region of severe drought in southern Georgia by the end of the month. Many stations reported their driest start to the month on record, with little to no rain until the last week of the month. The dry start was due to a stalled weather system in the central and southern Plains, which caused disastrous flooding in that region but left the state dry. This system started to move to the east at the end of the month and brought most of the month’s rain on May 26-28, although scattered showers were observed mid-month, especially around Atlanta. The National Weather Service recorded the highest monthly precipitation total in the state in Atlanta - 4.44 inches, 0.77 of an inch above normal. The lowest monthly precipitation total was in Augusta - 0.93 of an inch, 1.72 inches below normal. Temperatures across the state were above normal in May. One daily temperature record was broken -- Brunswick set a record with a daytime high of 93 degrees on May 19, surpassing the old record of 92 degrees, set in 1965. Severe weather was observed on eight days during the month.

ARTY’S GARDEN: A few thoughts on scarecrows I have a fondness for traditional scarecrows, even though personal experience indicates they are basically useless. If scarecrows could sing and dance like Ray Bolger in The Wizard of Oz, the crows “would be scared to pieces” just as Dorothy predicted. However, the effectiveness of stuffed stick figures on this side of the rainbow is limited. It turns out birds are not the birdbrains we thought, and crows are among the most intelligent of all. Crows, research has proven, can even recognize the faces of individual people. Traditional scarecrows may scare a few birds away for a brief period. Sometimes I think they are only effective while you are in the garden constructing or installing them. Birds become suspicious of humanlike figures that don’t move or really look or act human. They overcome whatever fear they initially had and proceed to pull up your sprouting corn, eat your ripening strawberries or peck your watermelons. Some people report better results with nontraditional scarecrows and other devices such as balloons with “owl eyes,” shiny pie pans, compact discs and metallic ribbon. However, birds can eventually become immune to these, too. Plastic owls and rubber or inflatable snakes may be effective for brief periods. They should not be used every day and should be repositioned at least once a day to keep the birds from wising up. My family had success with a large, inflatable snake in the blueberries until a mockingbird attacked and deflated it. I placed a rubber copperhead around the peanut patch when crows came calling last year. It scared my mother, but I saw no evidence that it scared any bird. I then got out the Sharpie and converted two snake gourds (long, skinny gourds that look like overgrown loaves of French bread) into what I thought might pass for rattlesnakes. I moved them once or twice a day to prevent suspicion. Today, I can still hear crows laughing. Ultimately, netting did the trick. It did not scare anything but formed a barrier between crow and peanut. Although, perhaps it did scare the crows if they thought it was some sort of snare. Noisemakers of various sorts may work Do scarecrows work for you? Share your experiences on traditional and non-traditional scarecrows by writing Arty Schronce at the Agriculture Department. Here, the author’s father begins constructing a “hunter in a barrel” scarecrow. for a while. However, I’d prefer losing some of my harvest rather than losing the goodwill of my neighbors or receiving a citation for disturbing the peace. Motion-activated sprinklers that surprise interlopers with a stream of water are one relatively new scare device that holds promise in some circumstances. Scarecrows of tomorrow may incorporate advances in technology and knowledge of bird behavior along with traditional scare tactics in the ongoing battle to protect gardens and crops. Are scarecrow drones on the horizon? I hope not; I’d prefer holograms of a dancing Ray Bolger. —Arty Schronce is the department’s gardening expert. He’s a lifelong gardener and a horticulture graduate of North Carolina State University who encourages everyone to discover the pleasures of plants and who sometimes sings “If I Only Had a Brain” while working in his garden.

Richard Wallace Williamson 770-4686061 Did You Know … Musicians Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp organized the first Farm Aid concert in 1985 to raise awareness about the loss of family farms and to raise funds to keep farm families on their land. Dave Matthews joined the cause in 2001, and to date Farm Aid has raised more than $48 million to promote America’s family system of agriculture. But just how does that money get where it needs to go? More than just a concert, Farm Aid is a nonprofit organization fully committed to the promotion and support of farming. When farmers in crisis call 1-800-FARM-AID or visit Farm Aid’s online Farmer Resource Network, they are connected to an extensive network of organizations across the country that help farmers find access to new markets, transition to more sustainable and profitable farming practices, and survive natural disasters. To donate to Farm Aid or learn more about the organization and the ways it strives to help American farmers, visit www.farmaid.org. PAGE 12 FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN – 404-656-3722 – agr.georgia.gov Looking for something different to do this summer? Look all around you! Georgia offers 59,425 square miles of interesting things to do and see. If you think you’ve done and seen it all, think again. Have you ever taken a farm tour of the state? We promise you’ll see, hear, smell and taste all kinds of new things. You can pick your own blackberries in Alto, ride in a buggy pulled by an honest-to-goodness buffalo in Townsend, or chill with a cool glass of farm-fresh strawberry lemonade in Ashburn. See them all at once or pace yourself – Georgia agriculture is always in season. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 2015 SOCIAL MEDIA Continued From Page 1 Marketing Director Jessica Watson said that strategy produces a far greater response than any other form of marketing the organization has used. “We use social media to inform our customers instantly,” Watson said. “Mother nature can sometimes be a little hard on us. There are times we need to inform our customers if we’ve had too much rain and have to close the fields for picking.” Farmers are using social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest and blogs as free marketing tools as well. More than just advertising, however, social media opens up a direct channel of communication between farmers and consumers, often leading to lasting relationships. “I have been marketing various products from ‘Run to the Farm’ for about one and a half years,” said Kristy Wilkins, manager of Run to the Farm, an enterprise that sprang from her family’s farm. “It’s not always flashing your products in their face necessarily; it’s to build a rapport and friendship with those people who are drawn to the products you are marketing.” Wilkins and her family started farming bees, which led to the making of her skincare business. She produces honey shampoos, facemasks and body scrubs. While trying to sell her “Fresh from the Farm” products she began sharing photos constantly on social media. Customers immediately started inquiring about certain products through Facebook. Wilkins suggested taking classes to get comfortable with social media and online marketing. She recommends the web site arealchange.com and UGA’s Small Business Group at Darton College in Albany, where classes in Social Media and online marketing take the fear out of exploring new technology. —Morgan Davis is serving a summer internship in the press office of the Georgia Department of Agriculture.

The PEANUT Rx program, created by researchers from the University of Georgia, University of Florida, Auburn University and Mississippi State University, allows producers to predict the advantages of using various crop management strategies. Growers can now access this information in the field, on the tractor or in their truck, thanks to the new app. “I’m not here to tell a grower what to do. Our role in University of Georgia Cooperative Extension is to give farmers options, give them opportunities,” said Bob Kemerait, plant pathologist on the UGA Tifton Campus. “The opportunity that this app provides is (for growers) to educate themselves on what their risk is, to manage that risk and then to understand the prescription fungicide programs that different companies offer, spraying fewer times or more times, depending on (whether they’re at a) low risk or high risk. Even if they don’t change their fungicide program, it’s an opportunity to learn how to reduce risk and how to properly manage risk.” The PEANUT Rx app can be accessed from smart- phones with Apple or Android operating systems. Those with an Android operating system can go to Google Play and search “UGA PEANUT Rx.” Growers using iPhones should go to the Apple App Store and search “PEANUT Rx.” The app is free and only takes a few minutes to download. Risk factors are updated annually, providing growers with the most updated information relating to research and variety testing, Kemerait said. “There are countless hours and years of research in this PEANUT Rx project. The beauty of it is its simplicity. We are able to package many of the things we understand about disease risk in peanuts into a few simple steps,” Kemerait said. “It’s now even more available through a smartphone app. We’re hopeful growers will adopt it and be comfort- Find Georgia Agriculture Online! www.agr.georgia.gov able with it, in order to better manage their peanuts.” PEANUT Rx deals with the three major diseases in peanuts: tomato spotted wilt virus, leaf spot and white mold. Kemerait said the index examines production factors like crop rotation, planting dates, plant varieties and the insecticide growers use at the beginning of the growing season. The index provides producers with a risk assessment of crops that could be affected by one of these three diseases. “It helps our farmers tailor a program that’s most appropriate for their risks. We’re not waiting until we see disease; we’re looking at the preseason risk factors that are associated with outbreaks of the disease and then changing those factors – finding a different variety, adjusting planting date, plant population, tillage practices – that will affect risks. Once you have a final risk value, then you decide what fungicide program is most appropriate for your situation,” Kemerait said. To learn more about PEANUT Rx, go to ugapeanuts. com. If you have additional questions, contact your local UGA Extension agent. Georgia is the country’s top producer of peanuts, recording $507.4 million in farm gate value in 2013, according to the UGA Center for Agribusiness and Economic Development. —Clint Thompson is a news editor with the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences based in Tifton. www.facebook.com/georgiangrown
