Commissioner Harper announces
Georgia Grown as title sponsor
for FLEX program
By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
The Georgia Department of Agriculture will become the title sponsor of the high school business education FLEX program through Georgia Grown, the department's business development and marketing arm.
Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tyler Harper made the announcement at Tyler Harper this year's FLEX State Finals on April 13 at Fitzgerald High School, College and Career Academy. The competition, in which students run their businesses and compete by pitching their ideas to judges, is similar to the TV reality show "Shark Tank."
Harper, who served as a judge during the state finals, lauded FLEX's efforts to unite communities to develop future entrepreneurs.
"If you've never participated, or this is your first time here, I think you would agree, this is a phenomenal, phenomenal program to give young men and women opportunities beyond belief," Harper said. "At the Department of Agriculture, and part of my focus as your commissioner, we're investing in the next generation and finding ways to ensure that young men and women have an opportunity to better themselves and to live out their version of the American Dream right here in our great state."
FLEX started in Ben Hill County as a partnership between businesses and the high school. Teams of students began the school year with an idea for a business. Over eight weeks, local business leaders mentored students to create and run a business. The teams, called companies in FLEX, compete at the school level by pitching their businesses to judges. High school champions move on to the FLEX State Finals for the chance for cash and scholarships.
FLEX Executive Director Melissa Dark thanked Harper and said Georgia Grown's support will allow the program to

Kemp signs bill into law, creating citrus commodity commission
By Jay Jones jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov

Please deliver this paid subscription to: Published by the Ga. Department of Agriculture Tyler Harper, Commissioner

Paving the way for Georgia's citrus growers to control promotion and research of their crop, Gov. Brian Kemp signed legislation last month to establish a state commodity commission for citrus.
Surrounded by state legislators and citrus industry leaders, Kemp signed House Bill 545 into law at the Bainbridge campus of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College on April 18. The new commission will be able to allow growers to set a self-assessment fee from citrus harvested to fund marketing and promotion, education and research programs to benefit the industry.
Georgia citrus has grown significantly in the past decade. There were about 4,500 commercial citrus trees in Georgia in 2013. In 2021, 390,000 trees were planted covering 2,700 acres in 45 counties.
"Georgia is home to a diverse and thriving agricultural sector, and citrus is one of our fastestgrowing crops," Kemp said. "By establishing this commission, we are ensuring that our citrus growers have the

Georgia Cooking: Whole Wheat Blueberry Dutch Baby Pancakes

To open Georgia blueberry season, let's switch up breakfast with this recipe for blueberry Dutch Baby pancakes. These delightful, puffy pancakes are cooked in a hot cast iron skillet, resulting in a crispy golden crust and a light, fluffy interior.
Bursting with plump, juicy blueberries, these Dutch babies are a mouthwatering treat that will satisfy your morning cravings. With simple ingredients and easy preparation, this recipe is a surefire way to impress your family and friends at the breakfast table. A recipe for a sourdough version is available at https://georgiagrown.com/recipes.
Dutch babies and German pancakes are the same thing, according to Chef Andrew Janjigian in Cook's Illustrated. The dish is said to have originated in Germany, not the Netherlands. The term Dutch baby was coined by an American restaurateur who used Dutch to corrupt the word Deutsch

("German" in German). Baby referred to the fact that the restaurant served miniature versions.

Forestry Matters: Spring is the time to check on your trees' health

By Stasia Kelly
Georgia Forestry Commission
The sure signs of spring have been around us for a few weeks now, with many Georgians falling into one of two categories: love it or hate it! The hate-it folks most likely have a box of tissue at hand and are swallowing their trusty Zyrtec. The love-it crowd relishes mild temperatures and the brilliant chartreuse blanketing the landscape.
As spring leaf-out continues and we return to the outdoors, many tree issues come to light. Now is the time to take inventory of your trees to ensure healthy growth and longevity. Extra watering and selective pruning will help this time of year.
There's a formula for calculating how much water to give your trees. A tree's caliper measurement at planting equals the number of growing seasons to give it extra water. (Reminder: caliper is the diameter of the stem, measured six inches above ground level at the time of planting.) For example, a two-inch caliper tree usually needs two growing seasons of supplemental watering and care to be considered established.
Tree roots only like to stay wet sometimes, so deep watering once weekly is usu-

ally adequate. Higher temperatures and sandier soils may dictate a twice-weekly regime. If two or more inches of rain are received in a week, supplemental water is likely not needed. Check this fact sheet for more information: https://gatrees.org/wp-content/

uploads/2020/02/How-to-Water-Your-Trees. pdf. Also, a GFC Ask the Arborist video about watering is available here: https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=ZuaWj-7MsmY.
Spring can also be a good time to prune. Cutting out any dead branches or stems can

establish a better structure and help trees seal off wounds where the dead branches had been. Pruning out those branches will also lend an ounce of prevention ahead of those windy spring and summer storms.
Just as we seek out a specialist when facing a medical issue, a certified arborist is the one to call for information on technical pruning and tree health care. The Georgia Forestry Commission's Ask the Arborist (certified arborists) service mentioned above has information and a video about pruning (as well as many other topics), and you can find an International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) certified arborist at: https://www. treesaregood.org/findanarborist.
Another GFC resource designed specifically for landowners with fewer than 20 acres is the Conservation Woodlands Program. This program helps landowners who cannot or do not want to harvest but rather manage their land for small agriculture, wildlife habitat, or recreation. It is a great suite of tools and information for such properties, including land management practices, property tax incentive programs, and overall sustainability: https://gatrees.org/ forest-management-conservation/conservation-woodland-program/.

Innovation Center hosts small business workshop on expanding sales, branding

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
The Georgia Grown Innovation Center in Metter is offering the Taking Your Food Business to the Next Level workshop on May 17 to help small food businesses expand their product distribution and sales.
The workshop will be held from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 17, at the Innovation Center at 25 South Terrell St. in downtown Metter. Attendees will gain an inside perspective from retail, distribution, packaging, food safety, and branding experts. The Georgia Manufacturing Extension Partnership at Georgia Tech (GaMEP) is organizing the workshop.
Wendy White, GaMEP Food and Beverage Industry manager, said they held the same workshop in Atlanta in March, and the response was so great they partnered with the Innovation Center to host it in Metter.
"So many people are interested in taking their small food company and selling their product in retail and really expanding that market share and getting themselves out there," White said. "Our speaker lineup is very diverse. They really covered the highlights of what you need to know and what you need to start thinking about before you

start entering retail." Founded in 1960, GaMEP works simi-
larly to an agricultural Extension service to support manufacturing in Georgia. White noted that information from the upcoming workshop could also benefit those already in retail.
"I've talked to several of our people here who are already in the food business, and this just gives them a way to map their business because it covers everything from marketing and branding, to different grocery stores and markets, and tells what they're looking for," White said. "I think a really good thing that was done is hearing from other companies who've already been there."
Speakers scheduled for the workshop include: White will discuss the importance of a
food safety plan not only to product quality issues but also how the plan can give you an edge in pitching your product to larger companies. Kristin Sherman, principal local forager for the Southeast at Whole Foods Market, will share how retail buyers choose companies to put on the shelf. Darrah Gist, founder of The Gist Marketing and Communications, a public relations firm specializing in food product

marketing. He will discuss how to tell your brand story in a way that catches the eye of retail buyers and customers. Diana Earwood, founder and managing member of plain.stated, a consulting firm connecting growers and producers to target markets. She will translate retail terminology and help you understand how to navigate the retail world. Nick Carse, co-founder of P-10 Foods and King of Pops. He will offer his experience building his business and share tips for success in working with a distributor. Joy Wilkes, regional sales executive at ePac Flexible Packaging, specializes in developing effective product packaging. She will cover the basics of why packaging is important and how to make the best decisions. The workshop is only one of several resources the Innovation Center provides to small businesses across Georgia that are either just starting up or have been in operation for a few years. The center offers physical space for new businesses that showcase agriculture, food, and retail businesses. Georgia Southern University's Business Innovation Group is a partner with the Innovation Center and created a business incubator with a focus on ag-

riculture and geared to support agri-business locally, regionally, and throughout the state.
Georgia Grown is the economic development arm of the Georgia Department of Agriculture. The program identifies business opportunities through state programs and partners and provides technical industry expertise, collaborative research and partnerships.
Heidi Jeffers, the city of Metter's economic development director, said the Taking Your Business to the Next Level workshop was a natural fit for the center.
"We work with a lot of small manufacturers, and they're asking the same questions over and over again. And for many of them, that's their dream; their dream is to get into retail," Jeffers said. "They're responsible business owners, and they want to do it correctly. That's why we partnered with Whole Foods and some other companies to have this workshop."
To register, go to https://ggicmetter.com/ events/. The cost is $25 and includes presentations and question-and-answer sessions. Georgia Grown will provide lunch and will include products from Georgia Grown companies.

Georgie's Drive
Thru Marietta
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our #1 industry, agriculture! Producing $4.2 billion worth of chicken annually, Georgia is the largest poultry producing state in the country! It is also home to the biggest chicken attraction, too! On Cobb Parkway in Marietta sits the Big Chicken.
When it was originally built in 1963 as Johnny Reb's Chick, Chuck and Shake, the restaurant advertised a 15-piece meal of fried chicken for a whopping price of $3.50! Today, the Big Chicken is now operated by KFC. The red and white chicken structure is 56 feet tall with a moving beak and rolling eyes. Being that tall, the chicken serves as a landmark to help line up airplanes on their approach to Hartsfield-Jackson Airport and Dobbins Air Force Base.
At the counter inside, you can purchase souvenir Big Chicken socks or a shirt. Customers order fresh fried chicken from a menu with a sign informing them where the chicken was sourced from that day. The day I was there, the chicken came from Carrolton, Georgia. Of course, a 15-piece bucket of fried chicken costs a little more than $3.50 nowadays.

Built in 1963, the Big Chicken in Marietta stands 56 feet tall at the intersection of Cobb Parkway and Roswell Road and has served as a directional landmark for motorists. The structure is also known for helping aircraft in their approach to Atlanta Hartsfield airport and nearby Dobbins Air Force Base. (GDA/Lee Lancaster)

Master Gardener program celebrates 50 years of cultivating green thumbs

By Paul F. Brown
The University of Georgia
What began decades ago as an experiment in horticultural education is still going strong -- and celebrating 50 years of public service.
Offered through local Extension offices all across the country, the national Extension Master Gardener (EMG) program brings together local gardeners with a passion for educating others and land-grant universities to help spread the most up-to-date research and information on gardening and horticulture.
Through University of Georgia Cooperative Extension and similar programs at other universities, Master Gardeners help educate the public by answering questions during office hours, leading demonstration gardens, giving presentations and serving in numerous other ways.
Millions of Americans have benefited from these knowledgeable volunteers, including more than 2,000 who are currently a part of the Georgia Master Gardener Extension Volunteer (MGEV) program.
Program origin The EMG program was launched in the early 1970s through Washington State University Extension, which struggled to meet the growing demand for gardening knowhow in the Seattle metro area. Extension Agent David Gibby came up with the idea of offering free public courses in horticulture and, in return, asking garden enthusiasts to then help educate others. After a promising trial clinic, the first EMG training commenced in the spring of 1973. Gibby's concept took off from there. It was a decade when rising inflation and outright recession sparked interest in growing vegetables at home. Community gardens appeared in vacant urban green spaces. News of the EMG programs success spread widely through agricultural conventions and word of mouth. States all across the country saw the value in it and started adding programs, said Georgia MGEV Program Coordinator Sheri Dorn. Often it was a grassroots request

where every day people would call up their Extension agent and say, Have you heard about this? We want it here. That's largely the way it started in Georgia.
Peach State Master Gardeners
Requests for the program reached Georgia by 1979. That fall, UGA Extension offices in metro Atlanta offered the state's first training sessions for MGEVs Georgia's version of the national EMG designation. Becky Blades, among that first group of 140 trainees, recalled that the program had far fewer resources in those early years.
"The very first session, we had no textbooks," Blades said. "We had a 4-inch binder that we filled with handouts, notes and publications that pertained to class topics. Now they help you carpool to class. Everyone has a name badge and gets to know each other, and veteran MGEVs mentor the new ones coming in. It has improved a whole lot."
Volunteer retention increased as more resources and support became available and as

the program initiated long-term projects that stimulated involvement and ownership.
Collaborative projects also foster relationships and create positive change in volunteers communities. Blades, for example, volunteers at a local hospital and uses horticulture to promote patients rehabilitation and wellness.
Virtual learning
Like Blades, Thomas Thompson is a Georgia MGEV whose initial training broke new ground. He started the program in early 2020, just as the pandemic began shaking up education across the board.
"We were one of the first virtual MGEV classes in Georgia at the beginning of COVID," Thompson said. "Except for some field trips that provided a little hands-on training, the class was 100 percent virtual. We were also a large cohort, with almost 50 participants."
While the virtual format lacked the in-person collaboration of physical class-

rooms, it allowed the program to thrive at a time when people were stuck at home and paying more attention to their landscaping.
"When people hunkered down during the pandemic, they became more aware of their outdoor spaces," said Thompson. "A lot of people considered gardening and said, `Let me try it and see what happens.'"
After becoming an MGEV, Thompson continued using technology as a teaching tool. He helped develop an online workshop that taught formerly homeless veterans how to cultivate vegetables and eat healthier. Since then, he has led public "Gardening 101" workshops in a hybrid format through a local library.
Super volunteers
Sheri Dorn calls MGEVs "super volunteers" because of the significant time they devote to learning and service. The initial training, equivalent to a semester-length course, now totals 50 hours. New MGEVs complete another 50 hours of volunteer work their first year.
In 2021, the 2,311 active MGEVs in Georgia logged 135,217 volunteer service hours -- effectively adding 65 full-time Extension employees statewide and helping expand the programming delivered by UGA Extension. Half a century after its launch, the national EMG volunteer program now engages more than 86,000 active volunteers in 49 states plus Washington, D.C., collectively serving 5.6 million hours a year.
"It's a large commitment, but they typically serve for long periods of time and volunteer frequently throughout the year," Dorn said. "It's not unusual for individuals to serve hundreds or even thousands of hours per year, not just in Georgia but across the country. They're very dedicated people."
UGA Extension marked the 50th anniversary of the Master Gardeners program with a special online visual project at https://discover.caes.uga.edu/master-gardeners-golden-jubilee/index.html.

Georgia FLEX: New program connects student ideas and local business leaders

Continued From Page 1

His team members set up a display showing off his products and services on stage. He walked to the judges' table, offered each a sample of cooked peas, and then started his presentation. He explained the work he does each day on his business and some pitfalls he experienced along the way.
After delivering his pitch, Connor said his FLEX advisors helped him immensely by providing advice. One suggestion made Paulk look at his existing customer base to determine how to tailor his marketing to attract a wider audience.
"What's really helped me, being in FLEX, is the learning curve and having that knowledge of business before everybody else what they have to offer and learned later in life," Paulk said. "They also helped me drum up business and get my name and business out there."
Mykayla Whitehead, a senior at W.S. Hutchings College and Career Academy in Macon, placed second with her business, Brittinque...Be Unique, a business specializing in organic beauty products and candles. Whitehead explained she had acne in middle school but was sensitive to retail products. She researched natural ingredients, learned to make soap and skin care products, and soon started selling

them online and at local markets. Whitehead said her biggest takeaway from the FLEX
program was building up her confidence. She mentioned on stage at the finals that she was nervous and joked about it before going into her presentation.
"During our meetings, they taught me a lot and built up my communication skills. The mentors taught me how to budget and a lot about customer service," Whitehead said.
Ava Dunlap, a sophomore at Jones County High School in Gray, garnered third place with Ava Kate's Confections, a bakery business. Her business is driven in part by her love of baking. Dunlap talked about how she learned a lot by baking with her grandmother, who kept her after school. "She was always, `let's try this, let's try this ... I think this will be good.' Any time we could, we were baking."
Dunlap said she was overwhelmed by the support from her teachers and business people as she went through the FLEX program.
"People will have your back; even when you don't think so, people will always be standing there behind you," Dunlap said. "I thought going into FLEX that I would be by myself, but my community stood around me and supported me."

enter into 10 school systems next year, double the number of schools participating this year.
"We know the impact of having mentors and people invest in these students, believing in them and telling them that they can do this and that this is possible. We see the impact that it has, and we are so excited to start that this year. None of those things would be possible without partnerships and support," Dark told the audience.
Chris Clark, president and CEO of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, also served as a judge at the FLEX finals and offered the state chamber's support of Georgia Grown FLEX.
"It's an awesome opportunity in the partnerships that we have with our chambers of commerce throughout the state in building these new opportunities building Georgia Grown opportunities," Clark said," because all of these young men and women are Georgia grown. These are Georgia-grown businesses, these are Georgia-grown kids, and these are Georgia-grown opportunities we see."
