Georgia's garlic production centers on small-scale farmers, gardeners

By Dallas Duncan
Garlic is good for more than just keeping vampires at bay. It's good for business.
"Garlic has just been one of those things that has interested me. It was one of the first crops I planted in 2008," said Sharon Mauney, owner of LoganBerry Heritage Farm in Cleveland, Ga.
Mauney still farms the land her family owned since it became available to settlers in 1828. She obtained LoganBerry in 2007 and focuses on Appalachianstyle crops and growing practices, including garlic.
"These are gourmet garlics. They all had different kinds of shapes and colors and sizes and characteristics," she said. "Some are sweet, some are spicy hot, some are `whoa you don't want to put that in your mouth by itself.'"
Garlic has been such a successful crop for her since the beginning that Mauney hosts an annual Garlic Fest.
"[Visitors] were consumers within a hundred-mile radius, people coming out for a fun day," she said. "You get to taste everything and we have food and chef demos and music and entertainment. They come to experience garlic."
It is primarily smaller-scale farmers like Mauney and gardeners who cultivate garlic in the Peach State.
"There really isn't any large-scale commercial production of garlic in Georgia, just some small growers

that produce some garlic and elephant garlic," Extension vegetable specialist George Boyhan said. "Most garlic in the US is being produced in California."
He said it would take approximately 1,500 pounds of garlic cloves per acre to produce a sizeable commercial crop.
Boyhan said the cultivation practices of garlic are similar to those of the onion. Garlic plants like cool weather and are grown as winter crops.
"It's propagated from the cloves, so when you get a garlic clove and crack it apart, those cloves can be planted and they will reproduce new bulbs," he said.
For commercial growers, it is recommended to get specially cultured tissue, which will eliminate diseases. If producers choose to grow garlic without tissue cultures, they can simply break apart a head and plant each clove separately, about four inches apart, said University of Georgia Professor Emeritus Wayne McLaurin.
"The garlic is planted in the fall and carried through winter and produces in the spring," McLaurin said. "It's a very hardy crop; very easy to grow. It doesn't have the problems that a tomato and other things have because you don't have quite as much pressure in that time period."
Garlic is either soft-neck or hard-neck. Soft-neck garlic thrives better in the South, Boyhan said.
"The type that we produce down here, there's two

Ag Forecast meetings predict good year for agriculture in 2015

A growing economy and higher prices for a number of crops predict that 2015 will be an overall good year for agriculture.
"For the most recent year, agriculture contributed $13.8 billion to Georgia's economy, which by the time that food gets to your plate or the clothes on your back, it's $72.5 billion, which makes it by far the largest industry in the state of Georgia. That generates almost 400,000 jobs," Scott Angle, dean of the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, told attendees at the Ag Forecast meeting in Gainesville, Ga., on Jan. 14.
Angle said with difficulties in both environment and politics, production that previous called California home is looking to relocate and many indus-

tries are looking right at Georgia. "We're blessed in Georgia with
good soils, good water, a long growing season," he said. "Part of the problem in California is lack of good leadership that appreciates agriculture. For us that's our advantage because a lot of those businesses are simply moving to Georgia, where we have a lot more agriculture-friendly atmosphere."
But there are still challenges, namely no more land to put into production.
"The solution to that is technology. That is the only way we are going to be able to increase rates of animal production or crop yield," Angle said.
Douglas Britton, manager for Georgia Institute of Technology's Agricultural Technology Research Program, was the keynote speaker at Ag Forecast. He set out to address the chal-

GEORGIA GROWN PROFILE: Rentz Family Farms and Supply
Diversity key for family's agricultural success

Mail to: Published by the Ga. Department of Agriculture Gary W. Black, Commissioner

By Beth Mohler, fall intern
There is a lot to be excited about for Georgia Grown member Rentz Family Farms and Supply. The company recently announced it's opening a produce farmers market.
"I plan on having not only the commercially grown produce for the community to choose from, but I would like to be able to offer some organic produce as well," said Kevin Rentz, a partner in the company.
The Rentz family has been farming the same land in Brinson, Ga., for four generations. On the farm side of the business, they are planting 11 months of the year, with something going in the ground every month except September.

"Well, we plant potatoes in January, and that continues on up `til February. Then you've got canola, corn for silage. You name it, we pretty much plant it," Rentz said.
In addition to the traditional row crops, the family plants Hubbard squash. The squash is often dehydrated and then used in pumpkin pie spice for flavorings by spice companies. Not only does Rentz Family Farms and Supply produce vegetables, it also operates a peanut buying point that can store up to 8,000 tons. The family also recently got into the beef cattle business. "In the near future I hope that people
know of Georgia agriculture as the `bread basket of America' not just because of the quality of the products that we produce here, but because of the diversity," Rentz said.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21, 2015

GUEST COLUMN: A new day for Extension

Growing up on a farm in south

Georgia, I always knew I wanted to do

something meaningful in agriculture. I

didn't exactly know what that would be.

I don't think I ever dreamed it would be

this job.

But, in a lot of ways, I have prepared

for this job my whole life.

I came to the University of Georgia

College of Agricultural and Environmen-

JOHNSON

tal Sciences as a student and studied animal science. After I graduated, I stayed to

complete a master's and Ph.D. in meat science and worked as

a lab technician.

Soon after I graduated, the state 4-H livestock specialist

position came open and I applied for it. That started many

years in service to 4-H, before I became the southwest Georgia

district Extension director.

I came here to study and find out what I wanted to do as a

career, and what I found in the college was my career.

Many people say, and I believe it is true, that Extension

is the closest thing there is to mission work you get to help

people every day.

Even in the worst of times I've never regretted the choice I

made.

For the past year, Cooperative Extension nationwide

celebrated our 100th anniversary. It's amazing to me that after

100 years we are still as relevant and needed as we were in the

beginning.

Our organization is much broader in scope today because

the people and the needs of Georgians are so different. The

founders of Extension might be amazed at the breadth of con-

tent we cover, but when it comes down to it, we are still doing the same things we are making life better for the people we serve.
Moving into our next century, Extension has to help Georgians move ahead. That's our job, to ensure we are addressing the needs of today's citizens and remaining relevant in their lives. And in doing that, we are advancing agriculture in Georgia while preserving our environment and natural resources.
As a nation, we suffered through some rough years lately. I'm fortunate that the former Associate Dean for Extension Beverly Sparks did a masterful job making careful cuts while preserving the integrity of the organization, so as we move into these more fruitful years, we can strategically rebuild in areas where we matter most and can do the most good for the people and the state.
In my new role, I want to promote a culture of understanding so we can appreciate the power of this organization to serve the needs of the people we serve. We are strongest at the intersection of basic and applied science. Extension is the applied area that will carry the education from the university to the people.
It is a strong part of what has made the US land-grant university system the envy of the world as we built the strongest agricultural system in the world. I'm proud of that heritage, but we must move quickly into the future to stay on that leading edge for the next 100 years. I am grateful for the opportunity and look forward to leading that charge.
Laura Perry Johnson took office Jan. 1 as the new associate
dean of Extension at UGA. She can be reached at lpj4h@uga.
edu or by phone at 706-542-3824. For information on Cooper-
ative Extension in Georgia or to reach your county Extension
office, visit extension.uga.edu or call 1-800-ASK-UGA1.

GUEST COLUMN: Department's outlook on 2015

Lists are as vital to the start of a new

year as collards and black-eyed peas.

I'm a list person. Are you? Physically

checking or scratching off eight of 10

things on a list yields a sense of accom-

plishment, doesn't it? Lists are healthy

for a daughter's wedding (we are excited

about one at my house in April), personal

development, church and certainly for the

workplace. Each January we are blessed

with another opportunity to reset our lists,

COMMISSIONER our goals, our focus. Our team at the De-

BLACK

partment compiled a great list of priorities

for 2015 that I thought Market Bulletin

readers would like to see. Here's a brief sample.

Fiscal responsibility Far too often this phrase is used to

disguise a cut or reduction. We use it with a positive twist. In

the past year our regulatory and information technology divi-

sions worked together to make all 70-plus licenses and reports

managed by the Department available online. Online renewals

are now underway for the first time ever across many of our

programs. In food safety alone, just before the start of 2015, 20

percent of our license holders renewed without a reminder be-

fore the new license was due. We are licensing more operations

now than ever before because Georgia is growing and because

the paper system of years past simply was not accurate or

timely. Thanks to our new approach, we completed fiscal year

2014 last June more than $1 million ahead of the previous year.

Online transactions go more rapidly to the state's accounts

rather than languishing in a desk drawer. We believe we can

improve this performance in 2015.

Georgia Grown abroad We have solid trade develop-

ment and expansion opportunities with Brazil, South Africa,

China and Panama in the coming year. Our partnership with

Gov. Nathan Deal and the Department of Economic Develop-

ment has never been stronger as we work together to grow

Georgia's economy.

Georgia Grown at home We are approaching 500 busi-

ness participants, headed to 1,000. Our marketing staff is focus-

ing on working with companies to feature the Georgia Grown

logo on products labels, as well as expanding shelf space for

Georgia Grown labeled products in retail stores across the state. Food safety Our team prepared to meet the challenges of
2015. Since 2011, food safety inspectors completed more than 24,000 staff hours of training. In recent months, thanks to the help of the General Assembly and Gov. Deal, we improved starting salaries in the Food Safety Division and added three meat inspectors and one seafood specialist to the team. Our goals must always be to work with industry to eliminate risks and prevent foodborne illness outbreaks. This is one area where zero is the goal one shoots for. On the national and international scene, our food safety team will continue to work with our federal partners at US Food and Drug Administration on a proper implementation plan for a wide range of proposed rules for produce safety. However, we will continue to insist that imported foods be held to the same standards as required by law. Thus far, most of what we have seen is volumes of proposed regulations for our farmers which will result in higher prices for domestically produced fruits and vegetables, and a disappointedly insufficient focus on enforcing import standards. We all want to improve food safety, but not at the expense of domestic and specifically Georgia farm families.
GATE Cards The Georgia Agricultural Tax Exemption program is moving into its third year with great benefit for qualified Georgia producers (emphasis added). The program was designed to make sure long-standing sales tax exemptions on fertilizer, tractors and other inputs for agricultural production were maintained. Rightfully so, 2015 will likely be remembered as the "Year of the Audit." Department of Revenue auditors launched and will henceforth continue a review of GATE card use practices of cardholders this year. Boots were never tax exempt though "used on a farm." Treat this item on the list as a sobering reminder. Abuse it? Lose it. We must all work together to eliminate abuse and preserve this benefit for the next generation.
Throughout the year, we will keep Market Bulletin readers posted as we work on our list for 2015. Thank you for the privilege to serve. God bless each of you throughout 2015.

Letter from the editor
Y'all, I thought I moved to HOTlanta. Today it is a blistering nine whole degrees Fahrenheit. Though this cold may be excellent for polar bears and other animals accustomed to living in the Arctic regions, domestic animals and plants are significantly less suited to it. So, for this issue's column, I compiled some advice from our gardening expert Arty Schronce and Associate State Veterinarian Dr. Wendy Cuevas-Espelid on how to keep flora and fauna toasty warm (or, you know, at least warmer than nine degrees). We'll start off with plants. Cold hardiness a plant's ability to thrive even in cool temperatures isn't an exact science, Shronce said. Plants may survive at zero degrees one night if temperatures rise the next day, but they may die if temperatures stay below freezing several days in a row. Plants that may not survive a cold spell: ones recently planted; plants with new growth; plants in containers; and plants in the ground with wet roots. Oh, and perennials will probably die too, but don't worry much about that. They're supposed to, and they'll come back in the spring! A lot of evergreen plants will be damaged by the cold, but will re-sprout. Schronce advises not to cut them back until late spring so you can better determine the extent of the damage. Plus if only part of a leaf is dead, the living part is still undergoing photosynthesis to keep that plant healthy. And did you know snow can be beneficial? Snow insulates the ground and plants, protecting them from further dips in temperature. It also protects leaves and stems from water loss, which can be a huge factor in leaf damage. Now, it's easy to bring some plants inside to protect them from this lovely Arctic blast. Livestock? Not so much. Horses can tolerate cold temperatures with adequate feed and water, but they will need more calories. They may not drink as much on cold days (think about it: when it's six degrees, how many of you actually want to drink a glass of ice water?), so it's important to encourage them to do so. Cuevas-Espelid recommends putting salt in their feed and Gatorade in the water. Or Powerade, I suppose, if you're a Georgia fan. Cattle, however, are not quite as cold-hardy as horses. Cold can stress cattle to the point where it affects their critical temperature, inducing shivering, which requires more energy so they can maintain their body temperature. Reduce mud in your pastures and around feeding areas, as this can exacerbate cold stress, especially in calves. And y'all, make sure you test your feed! If your hay doesn't provide enough energy, then supplement your bovines with an energy-dense ration, and keep mineral supplements on hand. For dogs and cats, inside is a good place to stay during freezing nights. Sweaters are great, but most heat loss in dogs occurs from the ears, respiratory tract and foot pads, CuevasEspelid said. If there's ice on the ground, wash your pet's feet with a wash cloth after they go outside. Rock salt and other stuff put out to melt ice can irritate foot pads, so they'll lick their feet, which can cause digestive problems (read: dysentery. You do not want to be stuck in the house with an animal with dysentery. Just trust me on this). Oh, and if you have to drive anywhere and it's in the below zeros, check under your car hood for wayward kittens looking for a warm spot to curl up.

ARTY'S GARDEN: All sorts of camellias are welcome in Georgia gardens

A caller asked me to write about sasanquas and camellias because people didn't believe him when he told them that a sasanqua was a type of camellia.
Well, here goes. There are many species of camellias. The most popular camellia cultivated in Georgia is Camellia japonica. It is usually just called "camellia" or sometimes "Japanese camellia." You may hear people calling it "japonica," although others may call flowering quince by that name. You may also see it listed in reference books as "common camellia" because it is the one most commonly cultivated, although there is nothing common about its beauty. The second most popular species in our state is Camellia sasanqua. It goes by the common names "sasanqua camellia" or simply "sasanqua." Both of these species are technically camellias and may be referred to as such, but when people talk about a camellia without any qualifiers they usually mean Camellia japonica. Sasanquas generally have smaller leaves and flowers than their japonica cousins. They are also generally smaller in stature. They begin blooming in the fall and proceed into the winter while the main period of blooming for most Japanese camellias is winter into spring. There are more varieties of Japanese camellias than sasanqua camellias or any other species of camellia. Other less common camellias you may consider growing are the tea-oil camellia (Camellia oleifera), a very cold-hardy species, the source of a high-quality cooking oil and a possi-

`DR. TINSLEY' is an old reliable Japanese camellia, but it is just one of many kinds of camellias that Georgia gardeners should consider.
ble crop in Georgia's future; tea plant (Camellia sinensis), the source of the tea we drink, but worth growing for its flowers in early fall; reticulated camellia (Camellia reticulata), which has large blooms and is usually called by its botanical name; and other rarer species such as Camellia yuhsienensis and Camellia handelii.
To add to the confusion, there are hybrids between dif-

ferent species of camellias. And there are so many varieties of Camellia japonica it may be difficult to determine with certainty the one growing in your garden. Sometimes you may have to step back and enjoy the beauty without worrying about origins or names.
After all, I haven't found a bad camellia of any kind. If I had room, I'd grow dozens of them. I have a soft spot for sasanqua camellias because they don't get as much attention as the japonicas, and I like their fragrance. `William Lanier Hunt' is a sasanqua I'd like to have because Bill was a friend and mentor of mine. A Camellia japonica I plan to order is `Tama-no-ura.' It has red petals edged in white. I also want to try Camellia octopetala because it is supposed to have fruits the size of oranges, and that just sounds cool.
To learn more about camellias of all kinds, consider visiting Massee Lane Gardens in Fort Valley, home of the American Camellia Society. Find out more about the gardens at www.americancamellias.com or by phone at 478-9672358 or 1-877-422-6355.
You may also want to go to the North Georgia Camellia Society's annual show at the Atlanta Botanical Garden Feb. 21 through 22. The show features regional growers displaying their finest specimens in a juried competition.

FEATURE RECIPES:
Super Bowl Snacks

Editor's Note: Having a Super Bowl party on Feb. 1? No worries we've got an app for that! Home Economist Marcia Crowley put together these two recipes that make for mouthwatering appetizers perfect to serve while tailgating. Follow these instructions to make 12 eggrolls and 30 wings. If you're having trouble finding hoisin sauce for the sweet and spicy wings, check the Asian or international section of your grocery store.
Buffalo chicken eggrolls

Ingredients: 1 cup chicken, cooked and shredded cup hot sauce 1 cup blue cheese, crumbled

cup green onions, chopped, or broccoli slaw 12 eggroll wrappers

Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. 2. Combine chicken, hot sauce (add more if you prefer a hotter flavor), blue cheese and the green onions or slaw together
in a large bowl. 3. Place approximately two tablespoons of the chicken mixture inside each wrapper. Roll and fold the eggrolls
according to package instructions. Moisten the inside of the outermost corner to seal eggrolls. 4. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Sweet and spicy wings

Ingredients: 1.25 cups hoisin sauce 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/4 cup soy sauce

1 tablespoon red pepper flakes 2 teaspoons garlic, minced 30 chicken wings, about four pounds

Instructions: 1. Combine hoisin sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, red pepper flakes and garlic. Pour about two-thirds of the mixture
over the wings and marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour, or overnight. Reserve and refrigerate the remaining marinade. 2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. 3. Remove wings from marinade. Bake in a single layer on a lightly greased baking sheet for 10 minutes. 4. Baste with reserved marinade, turn wings and baste again. 5. Bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the largest wing reaches 165 degrees.

AG: Academic, Department initiative expects to grow opportunities in agricultural technology

From Page 1

lenges Angle proposed. "The real question is, `What's the future
going to look like?' What is modern agriculture and food production going to look like? Where can we have robotic systems that can autonomically harvest and do [poultry] deboning? What will be Georgia's role in this, and how do we make sure that Georgia is a key player in this?" Britton said.
He discussed an ongoing partnership between Georgia Tech, UGA and the Department that aims to collect feedback from producers and develop research projects and agribotics that could put Georgia as the "thought leader" for agricultural technology.
There are already projects in place Brit-

ton showed videos of ground and aerial robots monitoring animals in chicken houses and photos of robots for agricultural use at the UGA-Tifton campus but the opportunity to continue to grow this part of the industry is there, he said.
Agricultural technology is not the only part of the industry with opportunity.
Beef production may be trending downward the decrease in production is expected to be 2.5 percent but pork production is up thanks to a decrease in death loss and an increase in carcass weight, said Kent Wolfe, director of the UGA Center for Agribusiness and Economic Development.
"A lot of the economists are actually fore-

casting by the end of 2015 we will be producing more pork than we are beef, and that hasn't happened since 1951," he said.
Even in cotton, where prices are down about 25 percent due to oversupply, there are positives to talk about.
"We all saw this coming, but we didn't think it would happen quite this fast or this radically," said Don Shurley, UGA Extension cotton economist. "Whenever China was buying all this cotton and importing it, that's what helped the prices. China was a very strong buyer. Now they've got those stocks and now that they sit there with them, prices will move based on what they decide to do with that."
Despite this, his cotton outlook is not pes-

simistic. "If you grow cotton or know anybody who
grows cotton, they're not in a very good mood right now," Shurley said. "But I think the outcome is potentially a lot more optimistic."
As cotton acreage is decreased 12 to 15 percent and demand trends upward, it's possible demand and supply will come closer together and prices will firm up.
"The price outlook is 65 to 75 cents. We could still go a little bit lower than that, hopefully have a chance to go a little bit higher than that," Shurley said.
The Ag Forecast series continues this month with meetings in Cartersville, Bainbridge, Lyons, Tifton and Macon.

Consumers are being warned not to eat commercially produced, prepackaged caramel apples after one supplier's apples were linked to a nationwide listeriosis outbreak.
The US Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been investigating the Listeria monocytogenes outbreak since the end of 2014, according to an FDA news release.
Samples from Bidart Brothers Apple Packing, a grower and supplier based in Bakersfiled, Calif., tested positive for L. monocytogenes contamination, leading to recalls of caramel apples, Gala and Granny Smith apples from the supplier.
"Consumers who are buying, or have recently purchased, any Granny Smith or Gala apples should contact the stores they purchase from to find out if the apples were supplied by Bidart Brothers," said Jessica Badour, recall outreach specialist for the Department.
The apples would be sold under the brand names "Big B" or "Granny's

shelves last fall, it can take anywhere from nine hours to six weeks after consumption for symptoms of listeriosis to show up, Badour said.
"For that reason, an illness outbreak can take time to identify and accurately link to food products that may be causing it," Badour said. "If and

when a particular food is identified, food safety officials work forward and

backward through the supply chain to determine all the places the product

went to and where it originally came from, either a farm or manufacturing

facility."

In this case, the initial outbreak was announced on Dec. 18 by the Min-

nesota Department of Agriculture after four people were reported ill. At least

23 of the 32 consumers who reported listeriosis illnesses told health officials

they'd eaten commercially produced, prepackaged whole caramel apples,

Badour said.

A recall was initiated on Dec. 24, but has since expanded to include other

brands and products that use Bidart Brothers ingredients, she said.

As of Jan. 9, 32 cases had been identified in 11 states. Seven deaths were

reported, though only three have been definitively linked to the L. monocy-

togenes contamination.

"To date, no illnesses or deaths have been reported in Georgia," Badour

said. "Anyone who experiences fever and muscle aches, sometimes pre-

ceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms, or develops fever

and chills after eating commercially produced, prepackaged caramel apples

should seek medical attention and tell the health care provider about any

history of eating those caramel apples."

She said no other varieties of apples, or apples from other growers, are

included in this recall, and no illnesses have been linked to non-prepackaged

caramel apples or caramel candy.

"We strongly encourage people to actively check their kitchens to make

sure they do not have these recalled products in their home," Badour said.

"While the caramel apples are no longer available for sale, they may still

Vegetable grafting symposium draws crowd at Southeast Regional

By Dallas Duncan
The Southeast Regional Fruit & Vegetable Conference drew record-high attendance this year more than 3,200, according to a news release.
The three-day event in Savannah features 13 different commodity meetings, a trade show and a number of educational breakouts. One of this year's breakouts was the 3rd National Vegetable Grafting Symposium, featuring a host of academics and producers from across the globe.
There was a "room full" of people at the grafting symposium, said Charles Hall, executive director of Georgia Fruit & Vegetable Growers Association.
"We had a good group and they appeared to be pretty engrossed in what they were learning," he said.
Grafting is a way to combine two varieties into one plant, thus creating a physical hybrid in a short period of time, said Matt Kleinhenz, professor and Extension specialist at The Ohio State University.
He compares grafting to a human undergoing organ transplant.
"If I were to need a new kidney or if my health was somehow negatively affected by the function of one of my kidneys, I could have a kidney transplant," Kleinhenz said. "In grafting it works very similarly. We have root systems and we have the foliage of the shoot that's made up of the leaves and stems. It just so happens that certain diseases and certain stresses affect the root differently than the foliage."
And so, stems of one plant are transplanted onto roots of another that can handle the soil and environmental conditions.
The two grafted vegetables of note at the symposium were tomatoes and watermelons.
It's a big boon to producers in California and other states where permanent production such as that of nuts affects growers' ability to rotate crops. Benefits to planting grafted watermelons include not having to fumigate the soil. Dan Van Gronigen, managing partner of Van Gronigen & Sons in Manteca, Calif., only plants grafted watermelon on land that is prone to disease and that will be harvested earlier in the season, as grafted melons do not do as well for him when picked toward the end of the growing period.
Van Gronigen and his family began growing watermelons in 1939 in California's central valley. The climate makes for a long watermelon season, beginning in June and ending in October harvests.
"Since we have a long season, it pays for us to go grafted," Van Gronigen said. "This past year we did approxi-

mately 20 acres of grafted. We like what we see." Peppers, eggplants, cantaloupes and cucumbers can also
be reliably grafted, Kleinhenz said. "Grafted tomatoes can be used anywhere that tomatoes
are grown. The same is true for watermelon," Kleinhenz said. "We see grafted plants being used where the benefits of using them are most obvious. For example, there may be a soil-born disease, there may be a need to maximize yield, there may be a situation where the grower is able to pay more for their grafted plants. Wherever all of those, or at least one of those conditions exist, we have grafted plants being used or being very seriously considered."
It's common for watermelon to be grafted to a squash, though there are other rootstocks available. Tomatoes, on the other hand, are almost always grafted to another tomato, Kleinhenz said.
"All the varieties that Georgia currently grows are probably able to be grafted. Some will benefit from grafting more than others just by virtue of their characteristics," Kleinhenz said.
Van Gronigen said producers should be aware that grafted watermelon may need to stay on the vine longer than expected.
"Once it looks like it's ready to be picked, you have to really wait another four or five days," he said. "It can stay in the field two more weeks without going overripe. That's huge."
In his experience, the meat from grafted watermelon is tight and crunchy.
"You don't have a seed cavity, it's dark red meat and it's crunchy. This doesn't have that water in a bowl we call it bleeding off," Van Gronigen said.
One of the challenges to growing grafted watermelon is picking them at the right time so the melons taste sweet enough, Van Gronigen said. The key to that is testing them so they are at least a 10.5 on the Brix sweetness scale.
That's one of a number of topics being researched right now in the grafted vegetable industry. Researchers are investigating a variety of questions and topics regarding both production and planting of grafted vegetables. Farmers can graft their own plants, but there are nurseries that graft seedlings as well, Kleinhenz said.
"Whether a person uses one grafted plant or 10,000, they can get the same benefit," Kleinhenz said. "If the grafted plants match your need, then it doesn't matter what scale of operation you have."
He said the industry is "cautiously optimistic" that grafted plants will continue to rise in their value to the US industry, both as a product they create and a tool that they use.

sort of main categories, California early and California late," he said. "The type we can grow here is the California early. It matures relatively early in the season, April and May."
Mauney experimented with both on her farm, and said she's had success with different varieties of each.
"Garlic is a greedy, greedy plant. It has to be well-fed, or you will not get anything besides a hard stick," Mauney said.
McLaurin recommends using a fertilizer that is higher in phosphorus and potassium when growing garlic.
"For garlic and things like that, we don't have very many chemicals that are available for their use in terms of weed control," Boyhan said. "Weed control, especially for small growers, is going to be the Santa Claus method: hoe, hoe, hoe."
Mauney said garlic has to be harvested at just the right

time, otherwise growers risk the heads splitting open in the soil.
"Once you harvest it, it's green, and you have to hang it. It then becomes what you know as the garlic you're familiar with," Mauney said. "It needs to be properly cured. We hang it in bunches. ... We harvest them and hang them immediately to dry. If you leave the roots uncut and leave them hanging by their original stems, then they stay firmer and longer as far as a shelf-life goes."
Once it's dried, garlic can be used as an herb in a variety of recipes. McLaurin said it can be pickled alongside okra and beans, or it can be roasted and used as a spread.
"You can use it any kind of way. The roasted garlic cutting the top off, rubbing with olive oil and putting it in the oven is a completely different flavor, texture. It's like a garlic butter. Spread over French bread, it's just wonderful," McLaurin said.

VISIT WITH A VET:
Toxic myopathy in cattle due
to coffeeweed poisoning
Visit with a Georgia veterinarian in this monthly feature. This
edition comes from Dr. Marcia Ilha of the University of Georgia-
Tifton Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory.
Senna occidentalis, also known as coffee senna, coffeeweed or wild coffee, is a toxic plant that causes severe muscle degeneration and death in cattle. Senna obtusifolia sicklepod or coffee-pod is another species of Senna that has also been implicated as potentially toxic. However, it is considered much less toxic and seems to be more prevalent than Senna occidentalis.
These plants are annual herbaceous plants found throughout the South, commonly on sandy soils of the Coastal Plains region. These plants are more abundant in cultivated fields, pastures, roadsides, old pastures and waste areas. The leaves and stem (green or dry) and the seeds are considered toxic.
The Tifton diagnostic laboratory sees outbreaks of this plant poisoning every year and producers and farmers should be aware of the potential toxicity of these plants. Animals can be poisoned by consuming the plant in the field or eating hay or grain mixtures contaminated with the seeds of these plants. In the field and pasture, poisoning is usually observed in the fall and early winter. Most outbreaks are observed when cattle eat wilted plants after the first frosts in the fall. When contaminated hay and grain are used, poisoning may be seen at any time of the year.
The conditions that predispose plant consumption are not known. Starvation does not seem to be an initiating factor in all cases. Animals in good nutritional condition and grazing good pasture may become intoxicated.
Diarrhea may be observed as the first clinical sign, but usually goes unnoticed unless animals are observed regularly. Later, the animals may go off feed and appear lethargic. The main signs include muscle weakness, incoordination, tremors in the hind legs, reluctance to move, dark urine and recumbency, or leaning. Animals may stumble as they walk and may be unable to support themselves when turned sharply. They become recumbent and remain in sternal recumbency, or a resting position, but appear alert and are unable to rise even with assistance. Sternal recumbency progresses to lateral recumbency and death. Death may occur within a few hours to a few days after the animal goes down.
There is no fever. Clinical signs of tremors, muscle weakness, incoordination and recumbency may be mistaken for neurologic signs. The affected animals in some circumstances may attempt to drink and eat if water and food are offered. In some instances, because animals are bright and alert, they may be mistaken by downer cows due to metabolic dysfunction. Clinical course is usually two to five days.
The toxic substance in the plant affects the muscles and cause muscle degeneration. As the muscles become degenerated, the urine becomes a dark brown to dark red. Enzymes from the musculature are released in the bloodstream and can be found in high levels in the serum of affected cattle, helping in confirming muscle degeneration when this poisoning is suspected.
When a necropsy is performed, observed changes may include dark urine in the bladder and pale musculature. The areas of pale musculature are usually more evident in the hind legs. Less obvious white pale streaks may be seen in the heart muscle.
Once animals become recumbent, treatment is usually ineffective. Vitamin E and selenium treatments were shown to result in increased muscular damage in experimental cases. The best way to prevent future losses and to stop an outbreak is to remove the herd from the contaminated pasture or remove the source of contaminated food. Animals already showing clinical signs may die even after the removal of the poisoning source, but loss should stop soon after.

local veterinarian. The Tifton and Athens diagnostic labs can be
