Preserving Georgia's Rural Character:

Efforts to save the state's farmland are growing in popularity

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

concerts and then we have weddings and we have birthday parties. We give the opportunity to people to have fun."
Nestled in the rocky, rolling foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, Chukkar Farm is ill suited to conventional farming, Cashin said, so he maintains polo ponies and offers polo lessons and matches, all the while fulfilling a lifelong dream to own a farm.
That's a dream shared by Steve Nygren, founder of Serenbe, a mixed use community shaped from the rural landscape southwest of Atlanta.
Nygren and his wife bought the 60 acres that served as the genesis of Serenbe in 1991. With a wife and three daughters eager to flee the trappings of success in metro Atlanta, Nygren sold his chain of Pleasant Peasant restaurants and relocated to the country, restoring the 1905 farmhouse that came with the property, planting gardens and acquiring farm animals.
"In 2000, we became concerned about ur-

ban sprawl," Nygren said. "This area is only 30 miles from the center of the city and every other rural area that direction from the center of Atlanta had already been disturbed. There's the same threat to farmland around Athens, Columbus, LaGrange any urban city across Georgia or the U.S."
His first reaction was to buy up the acreage around him to form a buffer.
"At 1,000 acres I realized we couldn't continue to do that," he said.
So Nygren began researching ways to preserve the rural character of his corner of southwest Fulton County. He found that the only real solution was to have a plan for balanced growth.
"That seems pretty simple, but over the last several decades we have gotten to the point where development and agriculture seem to be on two opposite sides of the table. Our goal was to find a way to address the pro-development people and people who wanted to engage in farming or just wanted

to preserve the rural character of the land," he said.
They worked with the University of Georgia, the Urban Land Institute, the Georgia Conservancy and their many neighbors, eventually forming the Chattahoochee Hill Country Alliance funded by a $2 per acre contribution. That brought most of their neighboring landowners into the discussion and led to an overlay ordinance governing 65,000 acres in Fulton and adjoining areas of Carroll, Coweta and Douglas counties. Nygren's Serenbe development is part of that whole.
Serenbe integrates a 25-acre working farm with thoughtfully built communities in the city of Chattahoochee Hills. At 37,000 acres only 30 percent of which can be developed it's a city that lives like a county, Nygren said.
"We are truly a small town like we saw across the U.S. 60, 70 years ago. We had lost

Notice
The deadline to submit ads for the March 30 issue including Farmland for Rent or Lease is
noon, March 16.

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

Georgia Grown Profile: Toledo Manufacturing Co. Inc.

Trees are more than just eye candy. In fact, they contribute necessary additives to an array of foods and other goods including toothpaste that people use on a daily basis.
"Forest products are used in thousands of products," said Joe Hopkins, part-owner of Toledo Manufacturing Co. in Folkston. "We always think of the forest industry as wood and paper. It's a whole other industry that most folks don't even realize is out there."
Hopkins joined the Georgia Grown program last summer in hopes of driving a new understanding of one of Georgia's most valuable agricultural commodities.
"What I hope the Georgia Grown program is going to do for my company is to promote the use of Georgia Grown wood," he said. "I wanted to be involved in an organization that's promoting Georgia Grown agricultural products, of which timber is one."
Toledo Manufacturing was founded in 1912 when naval stores supplanted cotton as king of Georgia's agricultural commodities. Toledo thrived on the harvest and distillation of turpentine from South Georgia pines.

The industry changed and Toledo changed with it, evolving over 104 years into a timber management company with holdings concentrated primarily in Charlton County. Hopkins manages the business full time these days, giving up the practice of law in 1989 to over-
see Toledo's timberland holdings. His education at Emory University and Mercer Law School make Hopkins an eloquent advocate for forestry.
He is a former president of the Georgia Forestry Association and the Forest Landowners Association, a national organization

that promotes the purchase of U.S.-grown wood to consumers.
"Georgia Grown is the next level down of the same concept," Hopkins said. "I explain to people that the jobs that my land creates cannot be exported. The people who plant, fertilize and cut my trees, those are American jobs. They're Georgia jobs."
Toledo directly employs six people in the management of its forest land, but Hopkins estimates that on any given day there are 12 to 15 people mostly subcontractors working his properties. The industry shows no signs of waning, as long as consumers buy in, he said. Imports are keeping domestic timber prices low while supply is high. In 2014, Georgia grew almost 20 million tons more wood than was cut.
"So many policy decisions are made by people's perceptions," Hopkins said. "The weak link is getting our message out. That may be where the Georgia Grown program could be benefiting us, by disseminating accurate, positive info about the state of the forestry business in Georgia."

Arty's Garden:

Daft for Daffs My Growing Love for Daffodils

By Arty Schronce
The more I learn about daffodils, the more I want to know. For years I was content with knowing that there are different types, and I was happy to be able to roughly differentiate between them. Now I want not only to learn all the types but to learn more of the individual varieties too.
I recently discovered that the green and yellow variety that I simply called "double daffodil" that grew at my grandmother's house is probably "Telamonius Plenus," a highly variable and ancient variety (dates back to 1620) also known as "Van Sion." Some of the doubles in my garden that were planted by a previous owner are possibly "Sulphur Phoenix," another old variety dating to 1820. (What an appropriately named daff for an Atlanta garden.)
I love the windswept appearance of the cyclamen-flowered daffodils. The one I have had the most luck with is "February Gold." Although not as streamlined as some of the other cyclamen-flowered types, it is the most dependable that I have found, but I am going to try others.
This year I am taking notebook and camera and going to some special daffodil events and visiting the largest daffodil display in the country to learn more.
I will be attending Daffodil Day at Atlanta's Oakland Cemetery (www.oaklandcemetery.com) Saturday, March 19. The event is free and lasts from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Sara Van Beck, a lifelong gardener widely regarded as one of the country's foremost daffodil authorities and author of Daffodils in American Gardens: 1733-1940, will be a presenter. (These "historic" daffodils are a special interest of mine.) Other experts will be giving presentations, and members of the Georgia Daffodil Society will be answering questions.
The Georgia Daffodil Society (www.georgiadaffodilsociety.com) will hold its annual daffodil show noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, March 12 at the Chattahoochee Nature Center, 9135 Willeo Road, Roswell. I think this will be a great opportunity to see relatively recent introductions as well as some of the old ones.
I am taking a trip to Gibbs Gardens (www.gibbsgardens.com) in Ball Ground. They have planted more than 20 million daffodils of more than 100 different varieties. This makes it the largest daffodil display in the country. I know it will be impossible to leave without learning something and without a greater appreciation of all daffodils.
I also know that I will need to start saving money, because after attending these events and visiting these gardens, I will be ordering a lot of daffodil bulbs to plant this fall.

Georgia Grown Executive Chefs Introduced at Taste of Georgia

Georgia Department of Agriculture Commissioner Gary W. Black and Georgia Restaurant Association CEO Karen Bremer announced the 2016 Georgia Grown Executive Chefs Feb. 17 at the GRA's 8th Annual Taste of Georgia Legislative Reception held at the Georgia Railroad Freight Depot.
The 2016 class of Georgia Grown Executive Chefs includes:
David Larkworthy of Five Seasons Brewing in Sandy Springs;
Savannah Haseler of Twain's Brewpub and Billiards in Decatur;
Douglas Turbush of Seed Kitchen & Bar, Stem Wine Bar, and Drift Fish House & Oyster Bar in Marietta;
Seth Freedman of PeachDish in Atlanta;

Derek Dollar of Milton's Cuisine & Cocktails and The Big Ketch Saltwater Grill in Alpharetta.
"The five chefs chosen for this prestigious program have unique talents that they bring to the table along with incredible experience in this field. They strongly support and advocate for Georgia grown products," Bremer said. "These chefs will strengthen the relationship between Georgia's chefs and farmers, and do an outstanding job representing Georgia's restaurants and Georgia Grown."
The success of the Georgia Grown Executive Chef Program over the past few years has far surpassed the department's expectations, Black said.
"This year, we received an outstanding

number of applications from qualified candidates for this distinctive and honorable program and the selection process was extremely difficult. For the first time ever, we have chosen five chefs instead of four," Black said. "We look forward to using this exemplary group of chefs as our culinary translators as we continue to bridge the gap between farmers and consumers. We appreciate the partnership with the Georgia Restaurant Association that has allowed us to further foster these relationships."
These five distinguished chefs will join the roster of 12 other Georgia Grown Executive Chefs. Now entering its fifth year, the program seeks to promote the Georgia Department of Agriculture's Georgia Grown campaign statewide. The program offers participating chefs

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

The James Beard Foundation invites Georgia Grown to dinner

The 2016 Class of Georgia Grown Executive Chefs gets the added bonus of accompanying Georgia Grown Chief Executive Chef Holly Chute in June to New York City, where the group will prepare and serve a Georgia Grown Dinner at the prestigious James Beard House. This will be an encore performance for Chute, following on the heels of a very successful Georgia Grown Dinner she staged at the Beard House in October 2015.
"The Beard House mission is to be a showcase for intelligent and exciting stories told in food," said Izabela Wojcik, director of house programming for the James Beard Foundation. "We're inspired by James Beard's recognition of American cuisine as the providence of regions and we aim to celebrate that regionality.
"We had a fabulous Georgia Grown dinner this past October bringing together a talented and high-profile roster of chefs from different parts of the state with the most luscious fall Georgia bounty of produce, proteins, beer, spirits and wine. You could taste the flavors of the terroir. Of course we would want to plan another Georgia-centered dinner, exploring new culinary talent and tasting an early summer bounty this time. We can't wait to see how Georgia Grown tops the last dinner they had at the Beard House."
Chute said Beard House diners will get a fresh taste of the flavors that make Georgia famous.
"Being that it's in June this time, we get to feature some great Georgia Grown produce Vidalia onions, sweet corn,

watermelons, peaches," Chute said. The Beard House operates as a center
for the culinary arts under the management of the James Beard Foundation. Beard was an early champion of local products and food markets. He was the first chef to take advantage of the medium of television as a way of educating consumers about food and cooking, and often opened his New York City townhouse to students, authors, chefs and other food and beverage professionals interested in American cuisine.
Upon his death, the late Julia Child urged his friends to preserve Beard's home and his traditions. The Foundation hosts theme dinners like the Georgia Grown event throughout the year to raise money for the cause and to foster an appreciation for American gastronomy.
The Georgia Grown Dinner is June 18.

UGA leadership group visits state officials and lawmakers at the capital

By Merritt Melancon University of Georgia

Midway through Georgia's legislative session there's a buzz around the Georgia State Capitol in downtown Atlanta. Crowds of lawmakers, engaged citizens and lobbyists come in from across the state to help conduct the state's business each day. Recently, they were joined by 25 up-and-coming leaders in the agriculture and forestry industries.
The current class of the University of Georgia's Advancing Georgia's Leaders in Agriculture and Forestry spent two days meeting with Georgia lawmakers and leaders in Atlanta.
The trip divvied between meetings with media representatives, legislators, agricultural advocates and state leaders like Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black and Gov. Nathan Deal was designed to introduce them to the inner workings of state government.
"We want participants to understand on a practical level the process of how things are done at the capitol, how policy is made and the role that they have to play in that process," said Lauren Griffeth, director of the AGL program and a leadership specialist with the UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and Warnell School of Forest Resources.
"This visit really debunks a lot of the myths about what happens here. You can have a negative opinion about lawmaking and policy making, but after engaging with lawmakers and seeing the process in action, you know that there are a lot of people here who are just trying to do the best thing for Georgia."
Organized by the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources, the purpose of AGL is to educate and empower Georgia's agricultural leaders to become effective advocates for the largest economic drivers in Georgia -- the state's agricultural and forestry industries.
Participants include foresters, farmers and nursery managers, as well as businessmen and businesswomen, representatives from agricultural advocacy groups and government agencies.
With such diverse backgrounds, some participants are familiar with the process of talking to their elected officials. But

Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal poses with members of UGA's 2015-2017 AGL class. Front row from left: Jenna Saxon, Samantha Kilgore, Anna McIntyre, Mallory Black, Lanie Riner, Danielle Atkins, Regina Morgan, Becca Creasy, Amelia Dortch, Mike Harrell and AGL Program Director Lauren Griffeth. Second row from left: Jeff Manley, Michael Cronic, Ashley Buford, Jeff Jordan, Brian Stone, Jason Sidwell, David Huddelston, Brennan Washington, Chris Bauman, Stan Deal, Nathan Tyson, Kyle Hagan, Brent Marable, Shane Boyer and Jay Murdock.

for others, this was their first trip to the capital and their first time watching a legislative session in progress.
"We were able to see the movers and shakers who make a difference as far as policy goes and who are responsible for ensuring that agriculture and conservation are successful and sustainable as we move into the future," said AGL participant Amelia Dortch, a state public affairs specialist with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service.
Before their graduation in 2017, AGL's current class will visit the Port of Savannah, row crop farms, UGA research plots, agritourism destinations and manufacturing hubs -- all in an effort to gain a larger understanding of how the agriculture and natural resource industry impacts every sector of

Georgia's economy. The experiences are meant to build their knowledge and
confidence so that they can be better leaders in their businesses, farms or agencies, and so they can more effectively advocate for the industry as a whole. That's exactly what the group gained by visiting the capital, said Dortch.
In 1993, community and state leaders across Georgia participated in the first leadership development program, known as "Agri-Leaders." Since then, 350 business leaders, farmers, foresters, educators and other stakeholders have worked through the program to become more effective leaders and advocates.

High tunnels take farmers to market ahead of the competition

Tim Coolong, associate professor of horticulture at UGA, discusses cultivation underneath a high tunnel.

Ken and Patti Cook have a perennial advantage over the competition when it comes to marketing their produce. About five years ago, the Cooks installed their first high tunnel at Spreading Oaks Farm near Dallas, Ga. For the past 18 months, they've had farm-fresh produce to sell at the Marietta Square Farmers Market every week of the year.
"There's a high demand at the markets for local produce, especially out of season," Ken Cook said. "That's where high tunnels come in."
The Cooks now have eight high tunnels in production on their farm, where they grow 70 different varieties of vegetables.
"We grow everything from arugula to zucchini," Ken Cook said.
Even leafy greens like lettuces and kale that will grow in open fields are cultivated under the tunnels on their organic farm to produce prettier crops.
"They will grow outside but they don't look the same as they do from the tunnel," he explained.
The Cooks hosted a High Tunnel Vegetable Production Field Day on their farm Feb. 19 that drew dozens of farmers interested in using high tunnels to extend the growing season on their farms.
Tim Coolong, associate professor of horticulture at the University of Georgia's Tifton Campus, said high tunnels are best suited to farms in North Georgia but are being used with great success as far south as the Florida border. A farm in South Georgia is currently cultivating spinach inside a high tunnel because it keeps the rain off and produces a cleaner crop, Coolong said.
Covered in sheets of polyethylene or polycarbonate, high tunnels protect crops grown directly in the soil. They are not ventilated or heated like greenhouses. A high tunnel covered with a double layer of plastic will warm the air about nine degrees on a bright sunny day, and the soil about 20 degrees.

Crops planted inside a high tunnel mature at a much faster rate than those planted in open fields, Coolong said, giving the farmer a three-to-fourweek jump on the market.
Cook said he harvests about 1,800 lbs. out of one 30 ft. x 60 ft. tunnel.
High tunnels are typically irrigated with a drip system that delivers water straight to the root zone. While high tunnels create an environment that's more friendly to the crops being grown and to the ecosystems where they grow, they also create favorable conditions for diseases and pests. Nematodes can become a problem in crops grown in high tunnels, as can soil-borne diseases and high salt concentrations in the soil.
"If you're used to being out in the field you're going to experience different diseases when you go into the tunnel," Coolong said.
Those issues can be addressed with crop rotation and the installation of a moveable tunnel, which adds about $1,500 to the total cost of building a high tunnel, he said.
Julia Gaskin, a soil scientist with UGA, said cover cropping underneath high tunnels can help improve the health of the soil just as it does with open fields. Cover crops like crimson clover and buckwheat are mowed over and rolled into mulch or tilled back into the soil, contributing carbon and nitrogen for future crops and suppressing weeds naturally, she said.
Cover crops will even "scavenge nutrients" from deeper layers of soil, releasing those nutrients as the cover crop decomposes and making them available once again to the cash crops that follow, Gaskin said.
The USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service offers technical advice and financial assistance to landowners who are considering installing high tunnels. Visit the Georgia NRCS website at www.ga.nrcs.usda.gov or your local USDA Service Center for more information.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2, 2016

Editor's Note: The very first issue of the newspaper that would become The Farmers and Consumers Market Bulletin was published by the Georgia Department of Agriculture on March 1, 1917. Next year we'll mark our 100th year in service to Georgia's agricultural community; our regular publication schedule

even calls for an issue 100 years to the day of that first one, on March 1, 2017.
Has the Market Bulletin played a special role in your life? Please share it with us, and perhaps you'll see your story in the pages of The Market Bulletin next year.

Please include a telephone number on your correspondence so that we may contact you with questions. In the meantime, we'll share a story about the origins of The Market Bulletin taken verbatim from the pages of the May 1, 1937, issue.

The Market Bulletin
(Published in the Georgia Market-Bulletin; May 1, 1937)
The Georgia Market Bulletin is a weekly publication published weekly by the Bureau of Markets, of the Marketing Division of the State Department of Agriculture, and financed by the state for the benefit of the Georgia farmer. It carries notices, at no cost, to the individual, of those items that pertain strictly to "Agriculture, or Agricultural Products, or Articles used in the furtherance of Agricultural interest."
Although the bulletin is recognized all over the state as an invaluable aid to the farmer in marketing his produce, comparatively few people know anything at all about its origin and development since the first issue twenty years ago.
During the administration (1913-1917) of J.D. Price as Commissioner of Agriculture, an employee, one J.R. Lowe (now employed in the Motor Vehicle Department) in his contact with the farmers of Georgia as a Fieldman, became acutely aware of the need of a medium of exchange for the farm products of our state. He approached Mr. Price on the subject several times, but before any definite steps were taken, J.J. Brown (then candidate for the office of Commissioner of Agriculture) broached the subject to the voters of Georgia and was virtually elected upon the strength of his promise of such an exchange, terming same as a "Market Bulletin."
The first issue came out in 1917, edited by Mr.

Lowe, and consisted of two small mimeographed sheets of paper with practically no circulation at all. Then it passed through the stage of a 10x12 almanac. Under the administration of Eugene Talmadge, as Commissioner of Agriculture, its form was changed to that of a regular newspaper, but the size was held at 10 x 14 inches; this form containing an editorial page as well as an employment service for the benefit of those seeking work on the farm, or employers seeking help, in addition to its Market Reports and Agricultural notices.
In 1933 and 1934, under the administration of G.C. Adams, Commissioner of Agriculture, the Bulletin in appearance remained the same, and while the growth in circulation continued on the upward reaching 114,000 weekly its beneficial services were in a measure sadly curtailed, on account of the drastic legislative reduction in appropriation allotted for maintenance and publication necessitating a 4, with an occasional 8-page weekly, instead of the 8, 12, 16, 24 and even 36-page editions of the former administration.
In March 1936, under the supervision of Tom Linder, Commissioner of Agriculture, the Bulletin was greatly improved in appearance, the Mast-Head being altered somewhat, and the size changed to 11 x 17 inches. Circulation increased to 160,000 copies weekly. Also, during this period the Bulletin was awarded First Honorable Mention among Agricultural Publications from all parts of the world at the "American Exposition of Agricultural Publications" held at the Capitol--Santiago, De Chile.

The Bulletin was discontinued from December 19 until February 1, 1937, when publication was resumed by Columbus Roberts, the present Commissioner of Agriculture, becoming a semi-monthly instead of a weekly periodical, under the guidance and sympathetic influence of Mr. Roberts, Hamilton Ralls, Supervisor, and J.W. Sikes, Assistant Supervisor, of the Marketing Division, Department of Agriculture. The change in the drawing of the MastHead--The Cow, The Hog, The Chicken, Cotton, Cane, Potatoes, Watermelons, etc.--typifying more clearly the true meaning (a medium of sale, want and exchange, for all farm commodities) of the contents within. The Front and Editorial pages devoted almost entirely to instructive and informative articles regarding Agriculture, Agricultural Industry, the Needs of the rural woman, Quotations from different sections, giving a more adequate report on prevailing prices of farm products all over the state, including Livestock and Poultry sales, Progress of the state farmers' Market system, and many other advantageous items of help and benefit to the FARMER AND HIS WIFE [author's emphasis].
In thus endeavoring to render every possible good service, the help and co-operation of all concerned is asked for and welcomed; and all helpful suggestions are accepted and used whenever feasible and can be.
The aim and purpose of the Bulletin--under this administration is worthwhile service to the Georgia farmers in the marketing of their farm products.
--ELIZABETH HYNDS, Assistant Editor

Farmland: Diversification, easements offer alternatives to development

Continued From Page 1
that connection to nature, to agriculture, and I think our connection to family. It all goes hand in hand," he said.
That's a connection Carroll County seeks to preserve with its agricultural conservation easement program, authorized by the Farm Bill of 2014 and administered by the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service.
"The purpose is to protect into perpetuity

agricultural (farm) land, and to save Carroll County farmland from overdevelopment," said Ben Skipper, director of community development for the Carroll County Board of Commissioners.
Although the county is just 30 miles west of Atlanta, it makes the 13th largest contribution to the state's agricultural GDP and identifies as an agricultural community rather than an urban one. Ag easements fit

that focus by keeping farmland in production for food and fiber. The farm remains with the farmer who placed the easement until it is sold or passed on to heirs. The easement remains in place regardless of ownership.
Skipper said the easement is purchased from the farmer using three sources of funds: the federal government (50 percent), the county government (25 percent) and

the landowner (25 percent). Upon application the landowner provides an appraisal of the property to be protected. The appraisal provides the fair market value of the conservation easement. The purchase price of the easement is 75 percent of the fair market value.
To date, six Carroll County farms have gone under the protection of the program, representing 1,717 acres.
