Protecting small engines when using ethanol-based fuels

Jayson Duncan of Evans, Ga., uses a chainsaw to clear debris from the February ice storm that crippled parts of Columbia County. Experts recommend that as the landscaping season begins, consumers pay attention to what fuel they're putting in gasoline-powered equipment and how long it is sitting in a tank before use.

As the winter storms of February fade into memory, Georgians will begin preparing their yards for spring those front hedges could use a trim; that fallen tree needs to be cut.
But if the wrong fuel was used, or improperly stored in, the chainsaw and weedwacker during the last cutting season, homeowners might find themselves replacing equipment before landscaping can begin.
"Gasoline ... will become stale if it sets for any length of time. That's bad for small engines; it gums up the carburetor," said Rich Lewis, director of the Department's Fuel and Measures Division. "When you combine the mixture of ethanol in that, ethanol which is alcohol can have an adverse effect on rubber and plastic parts in the engine. Also, ethanol can absorb moisture out of the air and that's bad because that introduces moisture into the product."
When moisture separates ethanol from gas, the engine can run without any lubrication, which can cause overheating issues as well, said Benny Howard, service writer and tech advisor for Campbell's Lawn Equipment in Forest Park, Ga.
Most of the problems seen with ethanol-based fuels are in two-stroke equipment. The primary concerns are damages to carburetors, fuel caps and fuel lines.
Some manufacturers recalled fuel caps the ethanol reacts to materials in the gasket and causes the fuel caps to swell, rendering them unusable, he said.
"Up until recently, any plastics or rubber items just didn't match chemically with ethanol. ... Rubber fuel lines espe-

cially, they'll turn brittle, crack when exposed to ethanol," he said. "From what I've seen in advertisements and what we've seen here, most of your fuel lines now are lined with an extra liner that basically has been put there in recent manufacturing to combat the ethanol."
Ethanol has been added to gasoline in recent years after the Environmental Protection Agency amended the Clean Air Act, requiring gasoline in certain cities, including Atlanta, to contain oxygen. Ethanol-based fuels created jobs and reduced both pollution and America's dependence on foreign oil, Lewis said. Most Georgia gas stations sell E10, a form of fuel that is 10 percent ethanol and 90 percent gasoline.
In 2011 the EPA approved E15, which is 15 percent ethanol. It is only for use in vehicles year 2001 or newer, Lewis said. In Georgia, pumps must be labeled to show how much ethanol is in the gasoline. Pumps containing E15 must display a federally mandated sticker. Though it's not in Georgia yet, he anticipates E15 making its way here soon.
"From what I've seen, most if not all small engine manufacturers recommend not using E15," Lewis said.
Lewis advises consumers to follow manufacturers' instructions on fuel type, and most will recommend no more than 10 percent ethanol content. Most manufacturers do not cover fuel-related damages. Howard said his shop recommends replacing non-professional equipment with fuel-related damage.
So why can ethanol-based fuel be used in vehicles, but

Wet summer, cold winter combine for forage nutrition concerns

By Dallas Duncan
Beef cattle producers across the state are feeling the effects of 2013's weather conditions this season. The wet summer and cold winter combined for the "perfect storm" to create poor-quality forages, said Dennis Hancock, Extension forage specialist. Delayed cuttings caused hay to mature in the field, which led to lower nutrition.
"As any forage crop matures, the quality goes down," Hancock said. "Where we normally produce bermudagrass on average about 57 percent [total digestible nutrients], this year the average was 47 percent TDN. We start calling it straw at 45 percent TDN."
The hay is like eating paper or sawdust: there is no energy in it, said Dr. Lee Jones, Extension veterinarian with the Tifton Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory.

"The cows can't digest it. It's causing impactions. The true stomach gets full of stuff that it can't pass out, so basically she gets clogged up because of this really poor quality hay," he said.
Typically producers will supplement lowenergy hay with winter forages, but because of the cold temperatures, the forages are inadequate, Jones said. Thus, farmers use a feed supplement.
Most producers are facing one of two problems: they're not feeding any supplement at all, or they are feeding a supplement that doesn't match well with low-quality feed, Hancock said.
"When the forage quality is really low like it is this year, they should not feed things that are high in sugar or starch. We want to focus on things that are high in non-starch fiber and non-starch energy corn gluten feed, distillers

grain, cottonseed, soy hulls," he said. Hancock does not recommend feeding
haylage or silage to make up for the nutritional gap this year.
"Even that this year was lower [in nutrients] than normal because of late maturity," Hancock said. "Making silage out of it, there's nothing magical. It doesn't create more energy. If you have garbage going into a silo or one of those wrapped bales, you have garbage coming out."
The greatest effect is on freshly calved-out cows and heifers, said Jacob Segers, Extension animal scientist.
"They're just starting into lactation, their nutritional requirements are higher than they're ever going to be," Segers said. "They're just not meeting the energy needs those cattle require when they're trying to

GEORGIA GROWN PROFILE: Georgia EMC
Cooperative reaches 73 percent of state's land area

By Erica Lummus, spring intern
Georgia EMC is a statewide trade association that represents Georgia's 41 not-for-profit electric membership cooperatives, including Oglethorpe Power Corp., Georgia Transmission Corp. and Georgia System Operations Corp. The customer-owned EMCs strive to provide safe, reliable and affordable electric services, as well as many other related services, to about 4.4 million of the 9.8 million people in Georgia's total population.
Georgia's EMCs serve the majority of agricultural production in Georgia, reaching 73

percent of the state's land area. As a result, the EMCs are able to become closely associated and connected with the agriculture community on a more personal basis.
"One of the seven cooperative principles is `Concern for Community,' which means that EMCs are constantly looking for ways to support their members and the communities that they live in," said Lindsay Bridges, Georgia

EMC director of communications and member services. "It is helping to attract businesses to the area by providing affordable and reliable electricity, supporting local farmers, provid-
ing agricultural education opportunities for youth or creating opportunities for their membership to learn more about ways to improve economic growth and development in their hometown."
As a company that represents 41 electric cooperatives that provide for both the rural and suburban parts of Georgia, Georgia EMC made the decision to join and work together with the Georgia Grown program because the Georgia residents the com-

TAKE 5: Cat and Dog Sterilization Program

1. What is the cat and dog sterilization program?

In 2003, legislature was passed starting the dog and cat spay/neuter program. Georgia veterinarians would

be able to spay or neuter Georgia pets belonging to Georgia owners at a reduced fee. Veterinarians submit a

request to the Department to do a certain procedure for a specific owner and animal. We then check to see if the

veterinarians have already met their quota for the month and everything is as it should be and then they get ap-

proval to do the procedure. We pay a certain amount of money per spay and per neuter. The Department estab-

COBB

lishes how many such procedures veterinarians can do each month, which is based on income. Income comes in the form of direct donations to the program, purchase of specialty license plates and a check-off from taxes.

2. What are the benefits in participating in the program?

It allows people who don't have the money for the procedures to have them done. It is helping animals because we have an over-

abundance of animals that are uncared for and that are reproducing at a great rate when their offspring are not wanted. By neutering

and spaying these animals at an early age, or any age at all, it reduces the amount of stray animals.

3. How can I participate?

The best way to participate is by buying a specialty license plate, by contributing directly to the program or by checking off

on your tax form. When you do your taxes, you can check off that you want to contribute X-amount of dollars to the dog/cat spay

and neuter program, or by the sale of three specialty tags. Once those tags are purchased, a certain amount of money goes to the

program.

4. Why is it important for Georgia to have this program?

When an animal is not neutered or spayed and it is reproductively intact, not only are they producing offspring, but they are gen-

erally more aggressive animals that will tend to get in fights, invade dumpsters or become a nuisance. Some of those animals can

be a source of disease because they are comingling with themselves. When you put a lot of animals together that are from different

environments, you introduce disease. The disease is uncontrolled therefore spreading throughout these animals. They can carry

zoonotic diseases such as hookworms, ringworms and rabies. These are diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans.

5. How many procedures does this program provide?

In 2010 the legislature changed the disposition of the funds. Originally when a person purchased the specialty license plate, $24

and some change was given to the program. There was no money provided if someone renewed a tag. In 2010, it was changed so

that only $10 comes into the program when a tag is purchased and $10 is given to the program when someone renews. Initially,

this provided for a large amount of money, but as customers began to realize that only $10 was coming into the program, purchases

of the specialty tag declined. The tag income is now very low; therefore we have gone from a total of five procedures per vet per

month down to one.

GUEST COLUMN: General Assembly strives to work hard for Georgia agriculture

Georgia agriculture and the General

Assembly have changed dramatically

since the time that gubernatorial candi-

dates campaigned statewide, assuring

farmers that their candidacy and the Mar-

ket Bulletin were two friends they could

count on. Even though many things have

changed, the Market Bulletin is still a great

resource for people statewide, and the

General Assembly is working to maintain

WILKINSON

and create a living and working environment that is second to none.

I appreciate the opportunity to chair

the Agriculture and Consumer Affairs Committee in your

State Senate. The committee is composed of a diverse group

that represents the diversity of our great state and our diverse

agriculture industry. Sen. Tyler Harper from Ocilla serves as

vice-chairman of the committee, and Sen. Frank Ginn from

Danielsville serves as secretary. Senators Dean Burke, Bain-

bridge; Bill Heath, Breman; Lester Jackson, Savannah; Nan

Orrock, Atlanta; and Tommie Williams, Lyons, also serve on

the committee. I live in Toccoa representing northeast Georgia

in the State Senate.

Agriculture is the biggest business in our state. We continue

to be national leaders in the production of the Five Ps: poultry,

pulpwood, peanuts, pecans and peaches. Cotton, cattle, horses

and blueberries continue to be important, and grapes and olives

are gaining in popularity. We are blessed to live in a state with a

world-class airport and a world-class port. The diversity of our

state fits well with the diversity of our agriculture.

Agriculture in our state has a great heritage, and we are

working every day to build on that legacy for even more spec-

tacular success in the future. As Georgia's population continues

to increase and more land is taken out of production, we are

challenged to produce more food while using fewer resources.

We are also blessed to have an outstanding University System

in our state where research is taking place to help shape the

future of agriculture in our state and our nation. As legislators, it

is important for us to provide the resources that our institutions of higher education need to conduct the research that will make it possible to feed the world of tomorrow.
The people who work in the industry of agriculture are blessed by God. Farmers in America provide us with the highest quality, safest, most abundant and least expensive food supply in the world. Unfortunately, our farmers do such a good job that many times they are taken for granted. We can never afford to take our food supply for granted.
In the late 1970s, one of my FFA members won the state speaking competition with a speech entitled "Agriculture in the `80s." When I look back at that speech it amazes me how far we have come in 35 years. What do the next 35 years hold for my five grandchildren? As leaders in agriculture and legislative leaders look to the future what will our priorities be? Education will be an important part of the equation. Agriculture education, Extension education, 4H and FFA will continue to be critical to make sure that young people, several generations removed from the farm, have a concept of how food is produced and the wide range of career opportunities in the industry of agriculture. Conservation of resources and the use of technology will be even more important in the future. Already, technology formerly reserved for the space program is being used in food production. The technology allows us to pinpoint the application of critical inputs such as water, seed, and fertilizer. This technique also allows us to plant and apply them in the most cost-effective and efficient manner.
As chair of the Senate Agriculture and Consumer Affairs Committee, I pledge to work hard to provide our farmers, students and researchers the resources they need to make Georgia the breadbasket of our nation and our world. If I can ever be of service to you, please feel free to contact me or my office.
Sen. John Wilkinson is the chairman of the Senate Agriculture and Consumer Affairs Committee. He represents the 50th Senate District, which includes Banks, Franklin, Habersham, Rabun, Stephens and Towns counties as well as portions of Hall and Jackson counties. He can be reached at 404-463-5257 or at john.wilkinson@senate.ga.gov.

Letter from the editor
My Mary Kay unit started off this month by doing a book study on The Energy Bus by Jon Gordon. It's about 150-ish pages and it talks about spreading positive energy and how even the smallest positive thing can help change someone's day, someone's leadership style and someone's life.
I've been really trying to find something positive about every situation, because negativity leads me to become what Gordon calls an "energy vampire," and who on Earth wants to be around a person like that?! Not even me ... even when I'm the energy vampire in question!
Meditating on positive things has helped me, especially those small positives. What I've found is that even in a sea of negatives, of bad things, I need to not focus on the part that gets me down, but rather, find the one smidgen of happiness and focus on that for the rest of the day.
Here are some "small positives" I've been thinking about today:
* That steak biscuit sitting in the refrigerator, waiting to be devoured as soon as I finish writing this (thanks, Georgia Cattlemen's Association!), because a), it's beef, also known as my favorite food group, and b) it means I get an actual lunch
* The sliver of blue sky I can see out of my window, because MAYBE Georgia weather isn't crazy anymore and spring is actually on its way here
* Tons of 4-Hers and FFA members recently visited the Department and demonstrated that agriculture continues to be a thriving industry in Georgia
* There are different farmland ads in the March 5 issue than there were in the Sept. 4, 2013, meaning that at least some Market Bulletin subscribers were able to sell their farms and (I hope!) make some money.
Positive energy, according to this book, is contagious. So whether or not you enjoy reading about my penchant for Starbucks and steak, the point of my column this time is to find your own small positives, and big ones too, and let those be the things that drive your life. Not the broken tractor; not the fact your 3-year-old let the chickens out of the coop when you weren't watching. Broken tractor positive? You've got someone you know who can fix it, and since you can't be on your tractor, now you've got time to go pay your taxes (and make a donation to the Department's spay/neuter program). Chickens out positive? Your toddler is already as into farming as you are and you're cultivating the next generation. And now you're exercising, out chasing chickens, which means you're burning calories and can now eat those Girl Scout cookies!
Are you thinking positively yet? If not, and you think I'm crazy, just ... don't answer that question, and go read an op/ed or do something that does make you happy.
Because, as Elle Woods so eloquently told us in Legally Blonde, "Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't shoot their husbands."

FORAGE: Producers encouraged to use proper feed supplements
From Page 1

FEATURE RECIPE:
Fresh strawberry dresssing over mixed green salad

Georgia's wet summer meant poor quality hay, and the cold winter led to few winter annuals available for grazing this season. This has posed problems for beef producers and cattle herds statewide. Photo by Dallas Duncan
sustain themselves and a baby." A cow's first priority in life is to provide milk for her calf, and she'll do so to her own
detriment, Hancock said. "She will lose weight. When they start losing condition, they are less likely to breed. If
they do breed, it may take them longer to become bred," Hancock said. "Instead of 85 to 90 percent of those animals getting bred on the first or second service, you go down to 60 percent getting bred."
It also means there's a longer interval between calves, making producers feed cows for extra months to get the same product.
Hancock said a lactating cow needs 59 to 60 percent TDN in her diet. To go from this year's average of 47 percent up to 59 percent, it will require eight to 10 pounds of supplement per head per day.
"Of the hay that is digestible ... on average only 47 percent of the energy can be extracted from it. That means the other 53 percent is going to pass through the animal," Hancock said.
The silver lining to this issue is the cattle prices, Segers said. "If there's a good time to have this kind of a problem, this is kind of a best-case scenario of a bad problem," he said. "You can still market calves at weaning and they can market well." Getting calves off the farm will make a competitive grazing situation less likely, allowing cows to be in better condition to calve next year, Segers said. Signs of poor-quality forage in the diet include a lower body condition score which can be hard to see, as cattle put on a winter hair coat; checking for undigested fiber in the manure and observing feeding, Jones said. "If they're feeding and the cows act like they're ravenous, devouring feed, that should be an indication that the cows aren't getting what they need," Jones said. "I can't emphasize the importance of going out there and looking at if you really have a problem. Even problems that aren't as severe, our calves will be stunted, they'll be smaller at weaning; probably we'll have more calves that die because of lower quality health and lower health status. It's going to be important for the owners to realize that if they don't respond, they could end up with lighter calves, fewer calves and a lot more cows open this time next year."

ARTY'S GARDEN:
Don't rush to prune or remove plants
damaged by the cold

A WALL OF creeping fig looks totally dead following the low temperatures this winter. However, it may re-sprout from protected branches.

This winter's low temperatures killed or damaged many garden plants. Seeing all the brown leaves can be discouraging. Agave, bottlebrush, feijoa, laurustinus, trailing rosemary, pittosporum, bay, Confederate jasmine and star jasmine are a few plants that usually come through winter unscathed, but are looking pretty sorry in some landscapes at the moment.
I encourage gardeners to have patience and not to rush into cutting down or removing plants. Many may have dead or damaged leaves, but will re-sprout from the stems. Wait until late spring before cutting them back. When the plants begin growing, you can better determine the extent of the damage and what you need to do.
Sunny conditions during or immediately following periods of extreme cold are especially damaging for many broad-leaf evergreen plants. The low temperatures freeze the soil and the moisture in it; when the sun comes out it heats the surface of the leaves and causes them to begin losing water due to transpiration. That is why leaves damaged by the cold may look scorched, as if they were burned in a summer drought. Many areas ex-

perienced this. Wind, in addition to the sunshine, further exacerbated water loss and subsequent damage.
Sago palm, creeping fig and other plants that are truly only marginally hardy in north Georgia have been overwintering outdoors with few problems in recent years due to mild winters. It has been a while since we experienced extremely low temperatures for extended periods like this winter. Some of these marginally hardy plants will survive and some will not. However, we still need to wait and see before we pull out the pruners, handsaw or shovel.
Come April and May, we may be pleasantly surprised at what we see re-sprouting. However, even when something is killed, it gives us the opportunity to try it again or to try something different. And in gardening, there is always something new to try.

Art of quilting taken on by new, younger generation

By Dallas Duncan
It's rare for Beverly Hammack to see an ugly quilt. She challenges anyone who considers quilting a mere craft to take a peek inside the Southeastern Quilt & Textile Museum and not leave with a newfound appreciation of the quilt as an art form. The idea for a quilt museum was born 14 years ago, when the Georgia Quilt Council decided to establish such a facility in the Deep South. Now at its home in Carrollton, Ga., the museum features quilt guilds, art quilts and historic exhibits that rotate on a regular basis. "My grandmother quilted. She had 10 children I assume she quilted out of necessity with 10 children," Hammack said. "She made use of anything that was available, because back then they didn't have quilt shops." The art skipped a generation: Hammack's mother didn't quilt. But several years ago Hammack attended a workshop and became enamored with it. "I'm what is called an art quilter. I do small quilts, usually of landscapes and flowers," she said. "A traditional quilter is one who uses old patterns ... that have been handed down for many, many years. An art quilter is someone who goes out of that range. I do my own patterns. I also do my own paintings. I painted some oak leaf hydrangeas in a watercolor and I changed that to a quilt. I've got them hanging side-by-side and you can see they match." Most quilts are done with blocks, Hammack said. Once a certain number of blocks is created, they're sewn together to create the quilt top, and then combined with the batting layer and back to complete the project. The quilt museum showcases both traditional-style quilts and art quilts. A favorite of April Carlson, executive director, was crazy quilts a Victorian-era style that created "family stories" in quilts using materials from memorable events, such as a scrap of a Christening gown, rather than focusing on a geometric pattern. "It is traditional in the sense that it comes from the Victorian era, so a lot of people feel comfortable with it being that traditional style," she said. She also enjoyed a recent art quilt exhibit featuring the work of JoAnn Camp, a Gainesville, Ga.-based quilter. "She dyes her own fabric and she creates these images that look like paintings," Carlson said. And though quilting is traditionally thought of as some-

thing grandma might have

done, it's making headway

into a younger generation.

Kathryn Trescott of Ma-

con, Ga., learned to quilt at age

14 from her grandmother and

great-grandmother. Trescott's

favorite quilt was the one she

and her great-grandmother

made for her husband, not just

for the sentimental value, but

because it was the last one

they made together.

"We did all of our quilt-

ing by hand," Trescott said.

"It was fun coming up with

new patterns, like when I go

on vacation and there's a quilt

on the back of the couch I

take pictures of it. ... I was on

spring break one year and saw

this really cool pattern and

came back and we did a little

mini quilt out of it. We always

used to use puzzles we would

find and arrange them to make

squares."

Kathryn Trescott learned to quilt from her

they did many patterns together, such as this flower garden quilt, Trescott's favorite was one the two did together for her husband, Sam, before Collier passed away last October. Photos courtesy Kathryn Trescott

Sanner, originally from

Evans, Ga., took up quilting as a senior in high school. Her

county required seniors to do a year-long project and related

research paper, and she said it was the perfect excuse to take

her sewing skills to the next level.

"My research was on quilting as an art form and I made an

album block quilt for the senior project," Sanner said. "It had

white pieces of fabric people could sign, so I had all of these

signatures on my quilt."

Now a resident of Marquette, Mich., Sanner took her love

of quilting to her new home. She's made several quilts through

the years and has experience both hand quilting and machine

quilting.

Sanner lets the design and the quilt recipient guide the ma-

terials she chooses.

"I made a daisy chain quilt for my best friend's wedding

present. I used a combination of fabrics that were old sheets, Trescott's advice for new quilters is to not expect things to

Her latest project is a quilt similar to the one she made in younger," Sanner said. "Pinterest and blogs have been really

HOW TO: Make a yo-yo quilt
Pattern courtesy Sara Morris, president of Georgia Homemakers Council, Inc.

1. Trace a CD on cardstock or heavy paper to make a 5.5-inch diameter circle. Cut out a small circle in the middle.

2. Trace template on lightweight fabric and cut out. Do not cut out the inner circle.
3. Once desired number of circles are cut, create each yo-yo piece using quilting thread or doubled sewing thread. Turn each circle on the wrong side and sew around the edges, gathering tightly as shown, and sew closed.
4. Sew around the edges of the traced inner circle and gather, as shown.

FuEL: proper storage, quick use best
practices to keep small engines revving
From Page 1
not smaller engines? "People put gas in their car and then they drive it. They don't usually fill the car up and let it sit for
three weeks. A person goes and buys five gallons of gas and sits it in his storage shed, that's where this comes up," Lewis said. "Gas is in a lawnmower at the end of the year. The lawnmower sits there for four to five months. Gasoline itself will become stale, and the ethanol kind of speeds that process."
Howard said consumers are being advised to store ethanol-based fuel for no more than two months. For small engines, Howard said, the ideal situation would be to stay away from ethanol-based fuels entirely, unless equipment is specifically manufactured for use with that type fuel. There are gas stations and marinas around Georgia that sell 100 percent gasoline, Lewis said. He advises consumers to call around and see what options are in their area. And no matter what type of fuel is used, Lewis said containers should be free of leaks, tightly sealed, properly vented and should be stored in a cool, dry place. "At the end of the season, you should do one of two things: drain all the gasoline out of the engine, or fill it up and put some type of gasoline stabilizer in it with it full. There's less chance it'll absorb any moisture if [the tank] is full," Lewis said.

pany is connected with and provides services for are many of the same people who are Georgia Grown's main producers today. By working together with Georgia Grown, EMC hopes that the partnership will provide mutual benefits for both organizations and will continue to help grow the community and educate the residents of Georgia about the state's economic development and will support agricultural production as much as possible.
As a Founders Circle member, Georgia EMC works to support Georgia Grown in various ways. The company includes a regular feature in Georgia's largest circulating monthly magazine, GEORGIA Magazine. Approximately 500,000 members receive the magazine each month. The company promotes Georgia Grown events in its bi-weekly statewide e-blast, in its 2013 Georgia Grown recipe booklet and it purchases Georgia Grown products for premium giveaways. Georgia EMC includes the Georgia Grown logo in the EMC newsletter, websites, bill stuffers, cross-promotional opportunities and other types of communications at local and statewide leadership events.
Georgia EMC will continue to raise awareness for the Georgia Grown brand and show support as a partner in agriculture.
"It is our hope that the EMCs' ties to the agricultural community can not only help to expand the brand, but to also foster introductions in our local communities that can open doors for economic growth, development and sustainability," Bridges said.
Georgia EMC wants to help people see and understand the importance of Georgia's agriculture industry.
"The production of food and fiber is Georgia's No. 1 business with a $76.9 billion impact for our state's economy. We want to reinforce this fact to our consumers, the state's opinion leaders, key influencers and the public at large," Bridges said.
