Spring planting time will soon be upon us. Page 9 GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE GARY W. BLACK, COMMISSIONER WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22, 2014 VOL. 97, NO. 2 COPYRIGHT 2014 King of Pops owners look to the land for business expansion By Dallas Duncan King of Pops is the king of Georgia Grown gourmet popsicles. With flavor combinations including blueberry lemongrass, tangerine basil, grapefruit mint and pineapple habaero, the company built a business that thrives on locally sourced products. And it's about to get a lot more local -- co-founders Steven and Nick Carse are hiring a farm manager to help them start growing their own ingredients. They haven't nailed down a farm location yet, but the brothers have lots of plans for when they do. "We want to do honey, berries, melons, herbs and kind of experiment from there," Steven Carse said. "With greenhouses, we can push the limits more, possibly do persimmon and cherry." Once they've figured out what plants work, he said the remainder of the farm will focus on one or two crops. But first, they have to do soil testing and figure out which of their ingredients will grow best in the ground. "Herbs will be the quickest thing that we'll be able to get to and grow a good bit of what we'll use," Steven Carse said. The goals of the farm are three-fold: take over the company's produce composting, grow their own ingredients and continue Tree Elves, a living Christmas tree operation that "rents" potted Christmas trees to families during the holidays, and takes care of them the other 11 months of the year. When the trees get too big to deliver to new families, they will be planted, donated or sold. "We're both pretty big dreamers and we have pretty high goals of what it could eventually be," Steven Carse said. King of Pops sells about 500,000 popsicles each year, between its carts, catering and retail sales. Inspirations for the unusual flavor concoctions come from everywhere, including creative cocktails. Roughly 50 percent of the produce, all of the dairy and honey ingredients are locally sourced, Steven Carse said. "We go to the State Farmers Market, we deal with Destiny Organics a good bit. Then we do a lot of kind of really small scale with some of the farmers at See POPS, page 7 King of Pops co-founder Nick Carse mans the store window in Atlanta, Ga., on a sunny day in January. The popsicles, already made with Georgia-grown ingredients, will soon contain elements sourced from the company's farm.

Georgia's growing turfgrass industry By Mary Kathryn Yearta, press office Editor's Note: This story was originally published in the July 2013 issue of Georgia EMC's Georgia Magazine. Phillip Jennings was a recent graduate of the University of Georgia in the 1980s when he first began baling wheat straw and selling it as ground cover to small nurseries in Atlanta. Shortly after beginning his new venture, he was supplying all of the Pike Nurseries in metro Atlanta. That relationship with Pike Nurseries led him becoming "The Sod Father," Georgia's largest producer of certified turfgrasses for golf courses and a variety of other customers. Jennings founded his turf company in 1998 at the suggestion of William L. Pike, who noted the difficulty in procuring the sod needed for sports facilities during the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. Jennings' customers now include golf courses, athletic fields, commercial landscape companies, commercial retail outlets and homeowners. His company is the exclusive sod supplier to Home Depot and Pike Nurseries in the southeastern United States and is an industry leader in sales of washed sprigs and sod. The company also grew the turf for the 2005 Super Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla. Although turfgrass does not come to mind as easily as a Vidalia Onion, nor a Georgia peach, Georgia is home to some of the world's top turf names and is responsible for much of the success of the industry. Annually, the turfgrass and related industries contribute $7.8 billion to Georgia's economy and make up nearly $117 million of the farm gate value. This industry accounts for 87,000 fulltime and part-time jobs across the state. Much of the success of Georgia's turfgrass industry can be attributed to the ideal climate the state has. Georgia is blessed with a mild temperature and generally maintains good rainfall amounts. Not only is there an advantageous climate, but Georgia is also home to UGA-Tifton's Experiment Station, where researchers have been developing the best varieties of turfgrass since the 1950s. Both Tifway and Tiftgreen, which cover more golf courses, athletic fields and lawns than any other turf variety in the world, were developed by the UGA Coastal Plain Experiment Station in Tifton. Most businesses in the turfgrass industry owe some of their starts to UGA. Although it began as a general store in 1893 in Lakeland, Ga., Patten Seed Company has since become one of the leaders in the turfgrass industry through working with the UGA experiment station. See GRASS, page 12 GEORGIA GROWN PROFILE: Southern Nuts Retail facility focuses on shelled, unshelled pecans By Jenna Saxon, press office Southern Nuts is a family owned and operated pecan retail facility in Lyons, Ga. The Jordan family began growing pecans more than 20 years ago and founded Southern Nuts in 2008. The company sells its own homegrown products at its retail location and online with a focus on shelled and unshelled pecans. Southern Nuts takes pride in the quality of its shelled and unshelled pecans and offers Oconee, Desirable, Sumner and Stuart varieties. In addition to pecans, customers can also find Georgia-grown jams, jellies, sauces, raw honey, Vidalia Onion dressings, chocolate covered pecans, cookbooks and more. Southern Nuts joined the Georgia Grown program at the gold membership level with the hope of increasing the exposure of its business and to network with other agribusinesses in Georgia. "We hope to gain more exposure, improve our marketing and increase sales through our membership with Georgia Grown," said Debbie Jordan of Southern Nuts. Georgia Grown acts as an outlet for Southern Nuts to meet and network with other tree and pecan growers while increasing the awareness of its operation. The company stands behind Georgia Grown and the program initiative and serves as an ambassador for the program by encouraging other agribusinesses to join. "We help promote Georgia Grown by talking to other local businesses about the benefits that we have seen since joining," Jordan said. In addition to sharing its testimony, Southern Nuts also assists in marketing the Georgia Grown program by featuring the Georgia Grown logo on its product labels, website and marketing materials.

Imagine your own hobby farm nestled in a community of like-minded farmers. Imagine picking your own blueber- ries and fruit for breakfast or gathering fresh eggs from your own small flock of poultry. Think how good your own homegrown vegetables will SANDERS taste. Now, imagine any or all of this readily available a short 30- to 40-minute drive from downtown Atlanta or Stone Mountain. Close enough to commute to work. Seem impossible? There's more. Land. Prices are still affordable. Taxes don't cripple. There are numerous move-in ready farmettes from three acres up, or purchase raw tracts of land and carve out your dream. A 19-square mile Watershed Protection area in the northern part of the county guarantees excellent water quality. Ordinances mandate a home in the Watershed Protection must have at least three acres. No subdivisions with homes so close you can touch your neighbor's house from your own window. Rockdale County provides all of this and more. Zoning in the Watershed Protection area is designed to encourage rural life. In fact, the county is actively seeking well- managed farm and livestock operations. New Watershed Protection zoning allows two adult hooved animals per three acres. It also requires fencing to keep livestock 150 feet from all state waterways to keep the water quality high. Apart from the Watershed Protection, much of the county is still designated as agricultural. But there's more. For horse owners, Rockdale County is an easy drive to at least 10 of Georgia's most popular horse trails. And remember the Georgia International Horse Park, site of the 1996 Centennial Olympic horse events? This world-class facility is still home to many of the region's largest horse shows of all disciplines. It also provides 15 miles of possible trail riding on the park's well-maintained horse and mountain bike trails. Should you desire to board your horse, opportunities abound at some of the county's 16 licensed stables, training barns and horse camps. In and near Rockdale County are numerous sources for high quality hay. Feed stores dot the county and surrounding areas, providing lots of choice and variety. Highly qualified large and small animal veterinarians call Rockdale County home. Too, the University of Georgia's large animal clinic is an easy one-hour drive away. For those with spouses or family that would rather golf or fish, the county offers golf courses and a stocked 700acre reservoir. There are also numerous for-profit private lakes and many tracts of land for sale with existing lakes or lake sites. This small county, just a straight shot out I-20 east of Atlanta, sees much less traffic and congestion than its metro neighbors and is only a 45-minute drive to the Atlanta airport. Qualified realtors familiar with the county can readily assist you in finding just the spot to make your imaginations a reality. You can be slicing your own delicious home-grown tomatoes by early June. Come check us out. Gerald Sanders is chief of staff of the Rockdale County Board of Commissioners. GUEST COLUMN: Honoring Georgia's Centennial Farms "Since its beginnings, Geor- gia's history has been an agri- cultural history," begins Tilling the Earth, a 2001 historical context for agriculture in Geor- gia. Agriculture has played a dominant role in Georgia's history and remains the state's largest industry. Since 1993, the Georgia Centennial Farm Program honored more than 450 farms from across the state that have remained in operation MILLER for 100 years or more. Sixteen of these farms are more than 200 years old, dating back to the early days of Georgia as it transitioned from colony to state. The owners of these farms are the stewards of our agrarian heritage and help to preserve important agricultural resources for future genera- tions. The program is administered by the Historic Preser- vation Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources in a partnership with the Georgia Farm Bureau Federation, Georgia Department of Agriculture, Georgia Forestry Commission and the Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter. It is sponsored in part by Georgia EMC. Recipients are honored at an annual awards ceremony during the Georgia National Fair in Perry, Ga., where they are presented with a certificate signed by the governor. Metal signs with the Centennial Farm logo are also avail- able for purchase. In 2013, 26 farms in 25 counties across the state were honored in a ceremony attended by more than 200 people. Gary W. Black, commissioner of the Georgia Department of Agriculture, and Homer Bryson, deputy commissioner of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, presented the awards. To qualify for an award, your farm must have at least 10 acres involved in agricultural production and $1,000 annual farm-generated income. It also must meet the requirements for one of our three award categories: A Centennial Family Farm Award honors farms that have been owned and operated for 100 years or more by the same family. A Centennial Farm Award honors farms that have been operating for 100 years or more and are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. A Centennial Heritage Farm Award honors farms that have been owned and operated for 100 years or more by the same family and are listed in the National Register. Application materials include detailed farm histories and supporting documentation such as copies of historic and contemporary photographs, maps and deeds. Though this information is sometimes difficult to compile, we have frequently heard from farmers that it is a rewarding process that results in a treasured collection. Submitted applications are made available to researchers at the Historic Preservation Division's offices in Atlanta. Together, they contain a wealth of information about Georgia's agricultural history and ever-changing farming practices. There are plans to eventually digitize this information and make it available via the Internet for all Georgians. If you think your farm meets the criteria to be a Centennial Farm, we encourage you to apply. We thank all of our recipients for their stewardship of the land and for helping to further our understanding of Georgia's rich agricultural history. Charlie Miller is the Centennial Farm Program committee chair for the Department of Natural Resources. To apply for the 2014 program, visit www.georgiacentennialfarms.org. Applications are due on May 1, 2014, and the awards ceremony will be held Friday, Oct. 3. For questions about the program, contact Miller at charlie.miller@ dnr.state.ga.us or at 404-651-5287. agriCULTURE Letter from the editor I'm going to title this one "The Market Bulletin that Almost Wasn't." The production schedule of the Market Bulletin is this: the Wednesday before the issue is dated, the digital file is sent to the printer. Within the next 24 to 48 hours, they print the Bulletin, sort it onto pallets, send me copies of postal documents and have drivers deliver the pallets of papers to three drop post offices, two in Atlanta and one in Athens. In order to make sure the papers are able to be mailed out, I have to make sure there's money in our postal account. I'd checked and it appeared we had sufficient funds in the account. Just enough to cover mailing out the Jan. 8 issue, and then it'd be time to send in another check. Well, the day of mailing came. Around 11:30 a.m., our publisher calls me up and tells me that one of the post offices in Atlanta turned their driver away because there wasn't enough money in our postal account. My heart skipped a beat. I got on the phone, pulled back up our postal account online, re-checked the postal documents ... and then realized a miscommunication resulted in me getting the postal accounts switched. There wasn't enough time to set up a wire transfer or get the check to the regular courier who takes it. The post office wouldn't let us mail out thousands of newspapers on the good faith that we'd have a check to them Monday. But the Market Bulletin had to go out that afternoon. There were no ifs, ands or buts about it. So a huge thanks goes out to the Department's finance director and finance department they were able to get a check typed, stamped, dated, signed, etc. in record time. I hopped in the car, at this point pretty frustrated with myself, and hit the road to the North Metro post office. It was about 12:30 on Friday, so I decided I'd try hitting I-85. The post office was right off the interstate. Y'all have probably heard me say this a hundred times, but I do NOT do well driving on the interstate. So yes, though 85 was not heavily trafficked at 12:30 on a Friday, it meant that there were five lanes of 50 vehicles going 15 miles over the speed limit and, I've learned, there's a large portion of I-85 commuters that don't understand how to use their blinkers. I was white-knuckled the entire way there, but I did not want to be known as the Market Bulletin editor who failed to get the paper delivered on time. I finally made it to the post office. It was just a regular post office. There wasn't a customer service center or anything, so I stepped outside and pondered my next move. Thankfully, a nice employee walked back with me and we asked where to go. Of course, you can't deposit a postal account check at the post office. Instead, I was told to go out to the main road and drive to the bulk mail unit. The bulk mail unit is in this series of unmarked warehouses surrounded by US Postal Service 18-wheelers. There's also not really any place for non-18-wheelers to park. So I drove around, made a few illegal lefts and u-turns, got honked at a couple of times and finally some poor soul took pity on me and asked if I was lost. By this time I'd just parked somewhere and was on the verge of extra-frustrated tears. The driver told me I needed to go to the warehouse directly in front of me. It didn't look like much, but I went inside and finally got the check deposited. After that adventure, I made another illegal turn and got back on the road ... and learned my lesson about how often to check the postal accounts. Dallas Duncan is the editor of the Market Bulletin.

POPS: Homegrown ingredients next goal for company From Page 1 farmers markets we attend. We get all our peaches from Peterson, all our milk from Southern Swiss in Augusta," Steven Carse said. "We shoot for as much local as we can get." Though the business has only been around since 2010 -- the inspiration came years before when Steven and Nick visited their elder brother, an anthropologist, and became enamored with a variety of Latin American fruitbased popsicle -- its distributors have already taken note of the growing fan base. Destiny Organics is one such distributor. "We see how popular their products are and how well they're selling," Communications Director Ben Pruett said. "I think that they're able to do something that is very unique and I think that being able to produce their own ingredients could really add to the possibilities of the unique market that they've already carved out." Pruett said he believes King of Pops will be the first Destiny Organics producer that grows its own ingredients for a prepared product. "We kind of have somewhat of a responsibility to be outspoken leaders in this because our business model is so closely tied to this," Steven Carse said. "Almost as important as the food we're going to be creating is our ability to familiarize our fans with local food in general, sustainable food and using it as a marketing tool and learning experience."

Photo by Blake Poppell Throughout the 1950s and 1980s, the experiment station's Glenn Burton worked hand in hand with Patten Seed entrepreneur Bill Roquemore and Patten Seed became a leader in providing superior turfgrasses to southeastern and Caribbean golf courses due to the improved bermudas. Since then, Patten Seed continued growth and remains one of the most innovative companies in this industry. Despite the recent recession that affected all industries, Ken Morrow of Sod Atlanta said the turf industry is beginning to see an uptick in sales over the past two years. New construction, as well as an increase in discretionary income, led both business and homeowners alike to invest in sod for environmental concerns as well as aesthetics. In recent years, Morrow witnessed his business move more towards landscape renovation and selling the product directly to the landscaper or consumer. More and more consumers are realizing the benefits of investing in turfgrass for their homes, such as the prevention of soil erosion, a great filtration system for water run-off and the ability to keep the grounds around homes cool in the summer and warm in the winter. "You only have one chance to make a first impression, and there is nothing more important than a well-maintained landscape," Morrow said. When picking the right type of grass for lawns, many factors are important to consider such as sunlight and soil type. It is also important to determine which grass types require the most care. In Georgia, warm season grasses such as bermudagrass, centipedegrass and St. Augustinegrass are more popular and will be successful in the hot and humid climate. 1.

VISIT WITH A VET: Animals in the cold Visit with a Georgia veterinarian in this monthly feature. This edition comes from Associate State Veterinarian Dr. Wendy Cuevas-Espelid in Atlanta, Ga. All too often we think animals can withstand a certain amount of cold weather because they have fur and are "animals." I know my dog is accustomed to air conditioning in the summer and a nice warm house in the winter. What advice can we offer to others that may not consider inclement weather a hazard to our companion animal friends and to livestock? Equine Horses have become strong family members and are treated as such. They have air-conditioned barns, wear nice blankets during the winter and even the lucky ones receive manicures on a regular basis by a farrier. However, they are not exempt with the elements nature has to offer us. Horses will start growing winter coats when there are fewer than 12 hours of daylight. They remain healthier if they stay outside, and healthy horses can tolerate cold temperatures if they have adequate hay, grain and water. In cold weather, horses require more calories. However, they can get impaction colic if they don't drink enough water on cold days. To combat that, sprinkle salt in their feed. This, along with Gatorade in their water, will encourage water consumption just make sure water is always available at feeding time and any ice in it is broken. Occasionally, ice will form on a horse's back, which actually helps them retain heat. For old, skinny horses, offer adequate shelter or a winter blanket and additional care to help them stay warm. Bovine This past October approximately 100,000 cattle died due to exposure by an extreme blizzard. This cost the state of South Dakota as much as $1.25 million. Although Georgia does not experience such extreme changes in temperature, recognizing good management of cattle due to intense fluctuations in temperature is always a good idea. Beef cows exposed to cold stress require more energy for maintenance. Cold stress occurs when the wind, temperature and humidity affect bovines' critical temperature. If a farm has woods, hills or other types of shelter, this can provide some protection against wind. Once a bovine reaches its lowest critical temperature, it begins to shiver, which requires more energy to maintain internal body temperature. Try to reduce mud in and around feeding areas. This can reduce energy stores and internal body temperature, especially for calves. The best and easiest way to manage a winter feeding regime is to know how to monitor cattle's body conditions. Forage should be tested for its true nutritional composition. If hay doesn't provide a sufficient amount of energy, then cattle need to be supplemented with another form of energydense ration. Keep a mineral supplement, especially with magnesium, in an effort to reduce grass tetany, which can be triggered in cold weather. Canines and felines As spoiled as our furry friends are, dogs and cats, can suffer from the elements. Small pets, especially young and geriatric ones, should be kept indoors. Long-haired breeds such as Huskies will do better outdoors than short-haired breeds such as Dachshunds. Though there are stylish dog sweaters and raincoats available, be aware that most heat loss occurs from ears, the respiratory tract and foot pads. If there is ice on the ground, wash dogs' feet with a wash cloth. Rock salt or chemical ice melts can cause foot pads to get chapped and raw, and excessive licking of it can cause digestive problems. Make sure there is plentiful food and water. Pets with pre-existing conditions such as cardiac disease, kidney insufficiency, diabetes and hormone imbalances will have more difficulty regulating body temperatures. Cats will hide anywhere to stay warm, including under the car hood. If you park outdoors, tap your hood to scare away felines that might be hiding there. They can get seriously hurt or killed by moving engine parts. This is just a small amount of information to get us all thinking of how to protect our animals. If there are any issues not addressed, please consult your veterinarian for further advice. Additional questions? Contact the Department's Animal Industry Division at 404-656-3667.
