PRESERVING GEORGIA’S RURAL CHARACTER:
Efforts to save the state’s farmland are growing in popularity
Drive 40 miles in any direction from the
heart of downtown Atlanta and you’ll find
the other Georgia. Out there skyscrapers
take the form of abandoned fire towers and
rusty silos. Out there lays green proof that
agriculture is still Georgia’s No. 1 industry, but it’s an industry at a crossroads. As
the current crop of active farmers age and
their children find greater opportunities in
the state’s metropolitan areas, farmland becomes more valuable when sold, subdivided,
paved and built over.
Jack Cashin doesn’t argue that point, but
he doesn’t concede it either.
Cashin owns more than 100 acres just
over the Fulton County line in Cherokee.
Chukkar Farm, as he calls it, is a polo club
and event facility that he and his late wife,
Helen, founded in 1980. It’s a bucolic respite
in a sea of gated communities.
“I’m lucky in that sense because they tolerate me,” Cashin said. “We have concerts.
We raise money for charities with our music

concerts and then we have weddings and we
have birthday parties. We give the opportunity to people to have fun.”
Nestled in the rocky, rolling foothills of
the Great Smoky Mountains, Chukkar Farm
is ill suited to conventional farming, Cashin
said, so he maintains polo ponies and offers
polo lessons and matches, all the while fulfilling a lifelong dream to own a farm.
That’s a dream shared by Steve Nygren,
founder of Serenbe, a mixed use community
shaped from the rural landscape southwest
of Atlanta.
Nygren and his wife bought the 60 acres
that served as the genesis of Serenbe in 1991.
With a wife and three daughters eager to flee
the trappings of success in metro Atlanta,
Nygren sold his chain of Pleasant Peasant
restaurants and relocated to the country, restoring the 1905 farmhouse that came with
the property, planting gardens and acquiring
farm animals.
“In 2000, we became concerned about ur-
ban sprawl,” Nygren said. “This area is only
30 miles from the center of the city and every other rural area that direction from the
center of Atlanta had already been disturbed.
There’s the same threat to farmland around
Athens, Columbus, LaGrange – any urban
city across Georgia or the U.S.”
His first reaction was to buy up the acreage around him to form a buffer.
“At 1,000 acres I realized we couldn’t
continue to do that,” he said.
So Nygren began researching ways to
preserve the rural character of his corner of
southwest Fulton County. He found that the
only real solution was to have a plan for balanced growth.
“That seems pretty simple, but over the
last several decades we have gotten to the
point where development and agriculture
seem to be on two opposite sides of the table. Our goal was to find a way to address
the pro-development people and people who
wanted to engage in farming or just wanted
to preserve the rural character of the land,”
he said.
They worked with the University of
Georgia, the Urban Land Institute, the Georgia Conservancy and their many neighbors,
eventually forming the Chattahoochee Hill
Country Alliance funded by a $2 per acre
contribution. That brought most of their
neighboring landowners into the discussion
and led to an overlay ordinance governing
65,000 acres in Fulton and adjoining areas
of Carroll, Coweta and Douglas counties.
Nygren’s Serenbe development is part of
that whole.
Serenbe integrates a 25-acre working
farm with thoughtfully built communities in
the city of Chattahoochee Hills. At 37,000
acres – only 30 percent of which can be developed – it’s a city that lives like a county,
Nygren said.
“We are truly a small town like we saw
across the U.S. 60, 70 years ago. We had lost

High tunnels are a productive
compromise between open
fields and greenhouses,
protecting crops from weather
extremes and taking farmers
to market weeks ahead of the
competition. See story, Page 15.

GEORGIA GROWN PROFILE: Toledo Manufacturing Co. Inc.
Trees are more than just eye candy. In
fact, they contribute necessary additives to
an array of foods and other goods – including
toothpaste – that people use on a daily basis.
“Forest products are used in thousands of
products,” said Joe Hopkins, part-owner of
Toledo Manufacturing Co. in Folkston. “We
always think of the forest industry as wood
and paper. It’s a whole other industry that
most folks don’t even realize is out there.”
Hopkins joined the Georgia Grown program last summer in hopes of driving a new
understanding of one of Georgia’s most valuable agricultural commodities.
“What I hope the Georgia Grown program
is going to do for my company is to promote
the use of Georgia Grown wood,” he said.
“I wanted to be involved in an organization
that’s promoting Georgia Grown agricultural
products, of which timber is one.”
Toledo Manufacturing was founded in
1912 when naval stores supplanted cotton as
king of Georgia’s agricultural commodities.
Toledo thrived on the harvest and distillation
of turpentine from South Georgia pines.
The industry changed and Toledo changed
with it, evolving over 104 years into a timber
management company with holdings concentrated primarily in Charlton County. Hopkins
manages the business full time these days,
giving up the practice of law in 1989 to over-
see Toledo’s timberland holdings. His education at Emory University and Mercer Law
School make Hopkins an eloquent advocate
for forestry.
He is a former president of the Georgia
Forestry Association and the Forest Landowners Association, a national organization
that promotes the purchase of U.S.-grown
wood to consumers.
“Georgia Grown is the next level down of
the same concept,” Hopkins said. “I explain to
people that the jobs that my land creates cannot be exported. The people who plant, fertilize and cut my trees, those are American jobs.
They’re Georgia jobs.”
Toledo directly employs six people in the
management of its forest land, but Hopkins
estimates that on any given day there are 12 to
15 people – mostly subcontractors – working
his properties. The industry shows no signs of
waning, as long as consumers buy in, he said.
Imports are keeping domestic timber prices
low while supply is high. In 2014, Georgia
grew almost 20 million tons more wood than
was cut.
“So many policy decisions are made by
people’s perceptions,” Hopkins said. “The
weak link is getting our message out. That
may be where the Georgia Grown program
could be benefiting us, by disseminating accurate, positive info about the state of the forestry business in Georgia.”

ARTY’S GARDEN:
Daft for Daffs – My Growing Love for Daffodils
By Arty Schronce
The more I learn about daffodils, the more I want to
know. For years I was content with knowing that there are
different types, and I was happy to be able to roughly differentiate between them. Now I want not only to learn all
the types but to learn more of the individual varieties too.
I recently discovered that the green and yellow variety
that I simply called “double daffodil” that grew at my
grandmother’s house is probably “Telamonius Plenus,” a
highly variable and ancient variety (dates back to 1620)
also known as “Van Sion.” Some of the doubles in my
garden that were planted by a previous owner are possibly
“Sulphur Phoenix,” another old variety dating to 1820.
(What an appropriately named daff for an Atlanta garden.)
I love the windswept appearance of the cyclamen-flowered daffodils. The one I have had the most luck with is
“February Gold.” Although not as streamlined as some of
the other cyclamen-flowered types, it is the most dependable that I have found, but I am going to try others.
This year I am taking notebook and camera and going
to some special daffodil events and visiting the largest daffodil display in the country to learn more.
I will be attending Daffodil Day at Atlanta’s Oakland
Cemetery (www.oaklandcemetery.com) Saturday, March
19. The event is free and lasts from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Sara Van Beck, a lifelong gardener widely regarded as one
of the country’s foremost daffodil authorities and author
of Daffodils in American Gardens: 1733-1940, will be a
presenter. (These “historic” daffodils are a special interest
of mine.) Other experts will be giving presentations, and
members of the Georgia Daffodil Society will be answering questions.
The Georgia Daffodil Society (www.georgiadaffodilsociety.com) will hold its annual daffodil show noon to
5 p.m. Saturday, March 12 at the Chattahoochee Nature
Center, 9135 Willeo Road, Roswell. I think this will be a
great opportunity to see relatively recent introductions as
well as some of the old ones.
I am taking a trip to Gibbs Gardens (www.gibbsgardens.com) in Ball Ground. They have planted more than
20 million daffodils of more than 100 different varieties.
This makes it the largest daffodil display in the country. I
know it will be impossible to leave without learning something and without a greater appreciation of all daffodils.
I also know that I will need to start saving money,
because after attending these events and visiting these
gardens, I will be ordering a lot of daffodil bulbs to plant
this fall.

Georgia Grown Executive Chefs Introduced at Taste of Georgia
Georgia Department of Agriculture Commissioner Gary W. Black and Georgia Restaurant Association CEO Karen Bremer announced the 2016 Georgia Grown Executive
Chefs Feb. 17 at the GRA’s 8th Annual Taste
of Georgia Legislative Reception held at the
Georgia Railroad Freight Depot.
The 2016 class of Georgia Grown
Executive Chefs includes:
• David Larkworthy of Five Seasons
Brewing in Sandy Springs;
• Savannah Haseler of Twain’s Brewpub
and Billiards in Decatur;
• Douglas Turbush of Seed Kitchen &
Bar, Stem Wine Bar, and Drift Fish
House & Oyster Bar in Marietta;
• Seth Freedman of PeachDish in
Atlanta;
• Derek Dollar of Milton’s Cuisine &
Cocktails and The Big Ketch Saltwater
Grill in Alpharetta.
“The five chefs chosen for this prestigious
program have unique talents that they bring to
the table along with incredible experience in
this field. They strongly support and advocate
for Georgia grown products,” Bremer said.
“These chefs will strengthen the relationship
between Georgia’s chefs and farmers, and do
an outstanding job representing Georgia’s
restaurants and Georgia Grown.”
The success of the Georgia Grown Executive Chef Program over the past few years has
far surpassed the department’s expectations,
Black said.
“This year, we received an outstanding

The James Beard Foundation
invites Georgia Grown to dinner
The 2016 Class of Georgia Grown
Executive Chefs gets the added bonus
of accompanying Georgia Grown Chief
Executive Chef Holly Chute in June to
New York City, where the group will
prepare and serve a Georgia Grown
Dinner at the prestigious James Beard
House. This will be an encore performance for Chute, following on the heels
of a very successful Georgia Grown
Dinner she staged at the Beard House in
October 2015.
“The Beard House mission is to be
a showcase for intelligent and exciting stories told in food,” said Izabela
Wojcik, director of house programming
for the James Beard Foundation. “We’re
inspired by James Beard’s recognition
of American cuisine as the providence
of regions and we aim to celebrate that
regionality.
“We had a fabulous Georgia Grown
dinner this past October – bringing together a talented and high-profile roster
of chefs from different parts of the state
– with the most luscious fall Georgia
bounty of produce, proteins, beer, spirits
and wine. You could taste the flavors of
the terroir. Of course we would want to
plan another Georgia-centered dinner,
exploring new culinary talent and tasting
an early summer bounty this time. We
can’t wait to see how Georgia Grown
tops the last dinner they had at the Beard
House.”
Chute said Beard House diners will
get a fresh taste of the flavors that make
Georgia famous.
“Being that it’s in June this time, we
get to feature some great Georgia Grown
produce – Vidalia onions, sweet corn,
number of applications from qualified candidates for this distinctive and honorable program and the selection process was extremely
difficult. For the first time ever, we have chosen five chefs instead of four,” Black said.
“We look forward to using this exemplary
group of chefs as our culinary translators as
we continue to bridge the gap between farmers and consumers. We appreciate the partnership with the Georgia Restaurant Association
that has allowed us to further foster these relationships.”
These five distinguished chefs will join the
roster of 12 other Georgia Grown Executive
Chefs. Now entering its fifth year, the program
seeks to promote the Georgia Department of
Agriculture’s Georgia Grown campaign statewide. The program offers participating chefs
watermelons, peaches,” Chute said.
The Beard House operates as a center
for the culinary arts under the management of the James Beard Foundation.
Beard was an early champion of local
products and food markets. He was the
first chef to take advantage of the medium of television as a way of educating
consumers about food and cooking, and
often opened his New York City townhouse to students, authors, chefs and
other food and beverage professionals
interested in American cuisine.
Upon his death, the late Julia Child
urged his friends to preserve Beard’s
home and his traditions. The Foundation
hosts theme dinners like the Georgia
Grown event throughout the year to raise
money for the cause and to foster an appreciation for American gastronomy.
The Georgia Grown Dinner is June
18.

a mark of honor and distinction, while increasing awareness for both restaurateurs and
consumers about the availability of Georgia
products for each cooking season.
As the executive chef program grows, it
will create a pathway for consumers to find
Georgia Grown products in their communities in order to support local, seasonal foods
when dining out. It also aims to highlight and
involve public school culinary education and
school food nutrition in terms of increased
opportunities for Georgia Grown products,
training and recipe development.
The chefs will participate in a spring and
fall school event, an organized farm tour, at
least one seasonal cooking clip with the department and at least one Georgia Grown
cooking event designated by Black.

UGA leadership group visits state officials and lawmakers at the capital
By Merritt Melancon
University of Georgia
Midway through Georgia’s legislative session there’s a
buzz around the Georgia State Capitol in downtown Atlanta.
Crowds of lawmakers, engaged citizens and lobbyists come in
from across the state to help conduct the state’s business each
day. Recently, they were joined by 25 up-and-coming leaders
in the agriculture and forestry industries.
The current class of the University of Georgia’s Advancing
Georgia’s Leaders in Agriculture and Forestry spent two days
meeting with Georgia lawmakers and leaders in Atlanta.
The trip – divvied between meetings with media representatives, legislators, agricultural advocates and state leaders like
Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black and Gov. Nathan Deal
– was designed to introduce them to the inner workings of state
government.
“We want participants to understand on a practical level
the process of how things are done at the capitol, how policy
is made and the role that they have to play in that process,”
said Lauren Griffeth, director of the AGL program and a leadership specialist with the UGA College of Agricultural and
Environmental Sciences and Warnell School of Forest Resources.
“This visit really debunks a lot of the myths about what happens here. You can have a negative opinion about lawmaking
and policy making, but after engaging with lawmakers and seeing the process in action, you know that there are a lot of people
here who are just trying to do the best thing for Georgia.”
Organized by the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and the Warnell School
of Forestry and Natural Resources, the purpose of AGL is to
educate and empower Georgia’s agricultural leaders to become
effective advocates for the largest economic drivers in Georgia
— the state’s agricultural and forestry industries.
Participants include foresters, farmers and nursery managers, as well as businessmen and businesswomen, representatives from agricultural advocacy groups and government agencies.
With such diverse backgrounds, some participants are familiar with the process of talking to their elected officials. But
Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal poses with members of UGA’s 2015-2017 AGL class. Front row from left: Jenna Saxon, Samantha Kilgore, Anna McIntyre, Mallory Black, Lanie Riner, Danielle Atkins, Regina Morgan, Becca Creasy, Amelia Dortch, Mike Harrell and AGL Program Director Lauren
Griffeth. Second row from left: Jeff Manley, Michael Cronic, Ashley Buford, Jeff Jordan, Brian Stone, Jason Sidwell, David Huddelston, Brennan
Washington, Chris Bauman, Stan Deal, Nathan Tyson, Kyle Hagan, Brent Marable, Shane Boyer and Jay Murdock.
for others, this was their first trip to the capital and their first
time watching a legislative session in progress.
“We were able to see the movers and shakers who make a
difference as far as policy goes and who are responsible for ensuring that agriculture and conservation are successful and
sustainable as we move into the future,” said AGL participant Amelia Dortch, a state public affairs specialist with the
USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service.
Before their graduation in 2017, AGL’s current class will
visit the Port of Savannah, row crop farms, UGA research
plots, agritourism destinations and manufacturing hubs — all
in an effort to gain a larger understanding of how the agriculture and natural resource industry impacts every sector of
Georgia’s economy.
The experiences are meant to build their knowledge and
confidence so that they can be better leaders in their businesses, farms or agencies, and so they can more effectively advocate for the industry as a whole. That’s exactly what the group
gained by visiting the capital, said Dortch.
In 1993, community and state leaders across Georgia participated in the first leadership development program, known as
“Agri-Leaders.” Since then, 350 business leaders, farmers, foresters, educators and other stakeholders have worked through
the program to become more effective leaders and advocates.

High tunnels take farmers to market ahead of the competition
Tim Coolong, associate professor of horticulture at UGA, discusses cultivation underneath a
high tunnel.
Ken and Patti Cook have a perennial advantage over the competition when it comes to marketing their produce. About five years ago, the
Cooks installed their first high tunnel at Spreading Oaks Farm near Dallas, Ga. For the past 18
months, they’ve had farm-fresh produce to sell at
the Marietta Square Farmers Market every week
of the year.
“There’s a high demand at the markets for local
produce, especially out of season,” Ken Cook said.
“That’s where high tunnels come in.”
The Cooks now have eight high tunnels in production on their farm, where they grow 70 different varieties of vegetables.
“We grow everything from arugula to zucchini,” Ken Cook said.
Even leafy greens like lettuces and kale that
will grow in open fields are cultivated under the
tunnels on their organic farm to produce prettier
crops.
“They will grow outside but they don’t look the
same as they do from the tunnel,” he explained.
The Cooks hosted a High Tunnel Vegetable Production Field Day on their farm Feb. 19 that drew
dozens of farmers interested in using high tunnels
to extend the growing season on their farms.
Tim Coolong, associate professor of horticulture at the University of Georgia’s Tifton Campus,
said high tunnels are best suited to farms in North
Georgia but are being used with great success as
far south as the Florida border. A farm in South
Georgia is currently cultivating spinach inside a
high tunnel because it keeps the rain off and produces a cleaner crop, Coolong said.
Covered in sheets of polyethylene or polycarbonate, high tunnels protect crops grown directly
in the soil. They are not ventilated or heated like
greenhouses. A high tunnel covered with a double
layer of plastic will warm the air about nine degrees on a bright sunny day, and the soil about 20
degrees.
Crops planted inside a high tunnel mature at a
much faster rate than those planted in open fields,
Coolong said, giving the farmer a three-to-fourweek jump on the market.
Cook said he harvests about 1,800 lbs. out of
one 30 ft. x 60 ft. tunnel.
High tunnels are typically irrigated with a drip
system that delivers water straight to the root zone.
While high tunnels create an environment that’s
more friendly to the crops being grown and to the
ecosystems where they grow, they also create favorable conditions for diseases and pests. Nematodes can become a problem in crops grown in
high tunnels, as can soil-borne diseases and high
salt concentrations in the soil.
“If you’re used to being out in the field you’re
going to experience different diseases when you
go into the tunnel,” Coolong said.
Those issues can be addressed with crop rotation and the installation of a moveable tunnel,
which adds about $1,500 to the total cost of building a high tunnel, he said.
Julia Gaskin, a soil scientist with UGA, said
cover cropping underneath high tunnels can help
improve the health of the soil just as it does with
open fields. Cover crops like crimson clover and
buckwheat are mowed over and rolled into mulch
or tilled back into the soil, contributing carbon and
nitrogen for future crops and suppressing weeds
naturally, she said.
Cover crops will even “scavenge nutrients”
from deeper layers of soil, releasing those nutrients as the cover crop decomposes and making
them available once again to the cash crops that
follow, Gaskin said.
The USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation
Service offers technical advice and financial assistance to landowners who are considering installing
high tunnels. Visit the Georgia NRCS website at
www.ga.nrcs.usda.gov or your local USDA Service Center for more information.

Editor’s Note: The very first issue of the newspaper
that would become The Farmers and Consumers
Market Bulletin was published by the Georgia Department of Agriculture on March 1, 1917. Next year
we’ll mark our 100th year in service to Georgia’s agricultural community; our regular publication schedule
even calls for an issue 100 years to the day of that first
one, on March 1, 2017.
Has the Market Bulletin played a special role in
your life? Please share it with us, and perhaps you’ll
see your story in the pages of The Market Bulletin
next year.
The Market Bulletin
(Published in the Georgia Market-Bulletin; May 1,
1937)
The Georgia Market Bulletin is a weekly publication published weekly by the Bureau of Markets,
of the Marketing Division of the State Department
of Agriculture, and financed by the state for the benefit of the Georgia farmer. It carries notices, at no
cost, to the individual, of those items that pertain
strictly to “Agriculture, or Agricultural Products,
or Articles used in the furtherance of Agricultural
interest.”
Although the bulletin is recognized all over the
state as an invaluable aid to the farmer in marketing
his produce, comparatively few people know anything at all about its origin and development since
the first issue twenty years ago.
During the administration (1913-1917) of J.D.
Price as Commissioner of Agriculture, an employee, one J.R. Lowe (now employed in the Motor Vehicle Department) in his contact with the farmers of
Georgia as a Fieldman, became acutely aware of the
need of a medium of exchange for the farm products of our state. He approached Mr. Price on the
subject several times, but before any definite steps
were taken, J.J. Brown (then candidate for the office of Commissioner of Agriculture) broached the
subject to the voters of Georgia and was virtually
elected upon the strength of his promise of such an
exchange, terming same as a “Market Bulletin.”
The first issue came out in 1917, edited by Mr.
Write to us:
Att: Market Bulletin, Room 330
19 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive SW
Or email [email protected]
Lowe, and consisted of two small mimeographed
sheets of paper with practically no circulation at all.
Then it passed through the stage of a 10x12 almanac. Under the administration of Eugene Talmadge,
as Commissioner of Agriculture, its form was
changed to that of a regular newspaper, but the size
was held at 10 ½ x 14 inches; this form containing
an editorial page as well as an employment service
for the benefit of those seeking work on the farm,
or employers seeking help, in addition to its Market
Reports and Agricultural notices.
In 1933 and 1934, under the administration of
G.C. Adams, Commissioner of Agriculture, the Bulletin in appearance remained the same, and while
the growth in circulation continued on the upward
– reaching 114,000 weekly – its beneficial services
were in a measure sadly curtailed, on account of the
drastic legislative reduction in appropriation allotted for maintenance and publication necessitating
a 4, with an occasional 8-page weekly, instead of
the 8, 12, 16, 24 and even 36-page editions of the
former administration.
In March 1936, under the supervision of Tom
Linder, Commissioner of Agriculture, the Bulletin
was greatly improved in appearance, the Mast-Head
being altered somewhat, and the size changed to 11
½ x 17 inches. Circulation increased to 160,000
copies weekly. Also, during this period the Bulletin
was awarded First Honorable Mention among Agricultural Publications from all parts of the world at
the “American Exposition of Agricultural Publications” held at the Capitol—Santiago, De Chile.
Please include a telephone number on your correspondence so that we may contact you with questions. In the meantime, we’ll share a story about the
origins of The Market Bulletin taken verbatim from
the pages of the May 1, 1937, issue.
The Bulletin was discontinued from December
19 until February 1, 1937, when publication was
resumed by Columbus Roberts, the present Commissioner of Agriculture, becoming a semi-monthly
instead of a weekly periodical, under the guidance
and sympathetic influence of Mr. Roberts, Hamilton Ralls, Supervisor, and J.W. Sikes, Assistant Supervisor, of the Marketing Division, Department of
Agriculture. The change in the drawing of the MastHead—The Cow, The Hog, The Chicken, Cotton,
Cane, Potatoes, Watermelons, etc.—typifying more
clearly the true meaning (a medium of sale, want
and exchange, for all farm commodities) of the
contents within. The Front and Editorial pages devoted almost entirely to instructive and informative
articles regarding Agriculture, Agricultural Industry, the Needs of the rural woman, Quotations from
different sections, giving a more adequate report
on prevailing prices of farm products all over the
state, including Livestock and Poultry sales, Progress of the state farmers’ Market system, and many
other advantageous items of help and benefit to the
FARMER AND HIS WIFE [author’s emphasis].
In thus endeavoring to render every possible
good service, the help and co-operation of all concerned is asked for and welcomed; and all helpful
suggestions are accepted and used whenever feasible and can be.
The aim and purpose of the Bulletin—under this
administration is worthwhile service to the Georgia
farmers in the marketing of their farm products.

that connection to nature, to agriculture, and
I think our connection to family. It all goes
hand in hand,” he said.
That’s a connection Carroll County seeks
to preserve with its agricultural conservation easement program, authorized by the
Farm Bill of 2014 and administered by the
USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation
Service.
“The purpose is to protect into perpetuity
agricultural (farm) land, and to save Carroll
County farmland from overdevelopment,”
said Ben Skipper, director of community development for the Carroll County Board of
Commissioners.
Although the county is just 30 miles
west of Atlanta, it makes the 13th largest
contribution to the state’s agricultural GDP
and identifies as an agricultural community
rather than an urban one. Ag easements fit

that focus by keeping farmland in production for food and fiber. The farm remains
with the farmer who placed the easement
until it is sold or passed on to heirs. The
easement remains in place regardless of
ownership.
Skipper said the easement is purchased
from the farmer using three sources of
funds: the federal government (50 percent),
the county government (25 percent) and
the landowner (25 percent). Upon application the landowner provides an appraisal of
the property to be protected. The appraisal
provides the fair market value of the conservation easement. The purchase price of the
easement is 75 percent of the fair market
value.
To date, six Carroll County farms have
gone under the protection of the program,
representing 1,717 acres.
