Make a resolution to explore the bounty of a winter farmers market

If you can't visit an orchard in person, you will find Georgia Grown apples at numerous farmers markets around the state, such as these at the Atlanta Farmers Market in Forest Park.

Many farmers markets operate only in spring, summer and fall, when most of our crops are being grown and harvested. However, there are some that stay open in winter to accommodate farmers and vendors who provide winter or cool-season crops and other products.
Fresh Georgia crops that may be available at farmers markets during the winter include turnips, collards, mustard greens, kale, lettuce, mixed salad greens, Asian greens, Bok choy, spinach, Swiss chard, carrots, radishes, cabbage, arugula, cilantro, mushrooms and beets. Fall and summer crops such as apples, sweet potatoes and winter squashes (butternut, Hubbard, acorn, etc.) that store well and last into the winter may also be sold.
A winter market may also offer honey, jellies and jams, cheese, breads, meats, eggs, granola, flavored salts, herbs, grits, flour, pickles and even pet treats. One of the most popular booths on chilly days at one of the local farmers markets I visit is that of 1000 Faces Coffee, which sells coffee that is roasted right here in Georgia by the cup and by the bag.
Georgia is an agricultural state every month of the year. If you haven't been taking advantage of your local farmers market during the winter, make it your New Year's resolution to do so. You may be surprised at what you discover.
-Arty Schronce

These collards for sale at the Morningside Farmers Market are pretty enough to put into a vase instead of a pot.

Orange is not the color most people associate with beets. When you visit a farmers market you may discover fruit and vegetable varieties that are not in supermarkets. You may also get a lesson in how to use them direct from the farmer.

Swiss chard may not be as familiar to Georgians as traditional Southern

greens. However, with this rainbow selection from Woodland Gardens Farm, it Sweet white turnips from Burge Organic Farm in Mansfield for sale at the

may be hard to think of it as a "green" at all.

Morningside Farmers Market in Atlanta.

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

A head of Romanesco broccoli, sometimes referred to as a cauliflower, can look like thousands of little Christmas trees. It can be eaten raw or cooked. It is one of the more unusual vegetables grown in Georgia. This one was grown by Woodland Gardens Organic Farm of Winterville.

North Georgia Candy Roaster is an heirloom winter squash. There are different strains of Candy Roaster squash, but the North Georgia Candy Roaster is a smaller (about 10 lbs.) strain that is shaped like a giant orangey pink banana with blue-green tips. When you visit a local farmers market, you not only discover a wide array of products but you may also have the opportunity to help preserve an heirloom vegetable or fruit like this one.

DaySpring Farms is located just outside of Danielsville, and its grains are grown, cleaned and milled fresh on site. They provide a full line of organic wheat flours and corn products. This is a display of some their Red Turkey Wheat flour at the Freedom Farmers Market in Atlanta.

Summer internship with the Department of Agriculture is an

eye-opening experience

Deadline to apply for summer 2017 internships is Feb. 3

By Meredith Walker
Memorable is the word I would use to describe my summer internship in the Equine and Companion Animal Division of the Georgia Department of Agriculture. It was an eventful and wonderful learning experience. I gained so much knowledge of how the agriculture industry works as a whole to protect and serve the public.
This division handles the highest quantity of complaints of all the divisions in the department. They protect cats, dogs, birds, horses, ferrets, fish, rodents and invertebrates through the Animal Protection Act (Chapter 40-13-13). This Act requires the state to license kennels, bird dealers, pet dealers, animal rescue groups and equine establishments. The Act also gives the state power to enforce a safe quality of care for those animals. Nineteen inspectors and four supervisor inspectors ensure that 3,000 licensed facilities statewide provide safe care to companion animals and equine in Georgia.
In order to make sure that adequate care is given, unscheduled inspections are held at each licensed facility. At these inspections, facilities are graded on 24 points, including animal care, record keeping, condition of the premises, and enclosures. These areas are important to prevent illness and injury to both animals and humans.
The prevention of disease is an important service that is provided. This maintains the welfare of the animals and the economic security of license-holders. The Spay and Neuter Program is one great example of the division's work in this area. The funds that are received through this program go towards grants given to licensed rescue groups for accredited veterinarians to per-

form spay and neuter operations at low cost. In the Equine Division, the Georgia Equine Rescue
League is another wonderful program that provides care for horses that have been neglected and become emaciated. These horses are given a second chance and auctioned to new owners when they are healthy again. There are many other services and responsibilities that are required of the Companion Animal and Equine section. I was amazed to see all that is required to keep Georgia's licensed facilities in compliance with the law.
Another important division in the department's animal health section is the Livestock/Poultry division. While observing this unit work, I came to realize that there are a lot more cattle in Georgia than the average person realizes. This division also has many responsibilities to help producers and to prevent diseases from spreading. From the employees in the office to the ones in the field, each division works efficiently together for Georgia's agriculture.
This internship has been a blessing and I don't believe I could thank everyone enough. The opportunities I've been given have taught me so much and have prepared me for the future. Thank you Georgia Department of Agriculture!

-Meredith Walker graduated from ABAC in December with a Bachelor's Degree in Agriculture with a concentration on Livestock, and an Associate's Degree in Animal Science. She interned with the GDA's Companion Animal and Equine Division in the summer of 2016.

Meredith Walker, right, and fellow intern Kelly Thompson accompanied inspectors from the Georgia Department of Agriculture to a dairy farm in the summer of 2016.

Mascot Pecan Shelling Co. is growing its business with solar power

Coastal Solar in Hinesville is putting the finishing touches on a multi-million dollar solar array to power Mascot Pecan Shelling Co.'s Glennville plant. The ground-mounted array is being installed on land adjacent to the pecan shelling and packaging plant owned by brothers Kenny and Tim Tarver.
As the brothers have grown their business, the energy required to shell, cool and freeze pecans has risen. The plant used more than 2.2 million kilowatt-hours last year, at a total annual cost of $260,000. Coastal Solar predicts the company will save more than $200,000 in energy costs once the new solar array goes live. The 1.088MW array is designed to produce more than 70 percent of the company's energy needs, amounting to about 1.7 million kilowatt-hours per year.
The installation consists of 3,400 320watt solar panels on six acres of land adjacent to the plant. The panels are arranged in 25 rows, each measuring 450 feet in length. The panels are fixed at an angle of 25 degrees and face directly south, the ideal orientation for solar panels in the Southeast to receive maximum sunlight year round. According to Coastal Solar, the size of the array needed to power the plant was best suited to a ground installation rather than a roof-based one.

An aerial photo taken Dec. 14 shows the solar array that Coastal Solar of Hinesville is installing adjacent to Mascot Pecan Shelling Co.'s Glennville processing plant.

ral Energy for America Program. If the grant is awarded, the Tarvers expect to recover their investment in less than four years.
"When you put all these together, it was an easy decision," said Kenny Tarver, who took over the company with his brother, Tim, in 1991.
The Mascot was founded in 1955 by their parents, Mills and Juliet Tarver, as a roadside tourist shop and gas station for motorists traveling to and from Florida via U.S. Highway 301. Mills Tarver founded the Mascot Pecan Co. after demand grew for the hand-shelled Georgia pecans he sold. Since acquiring the business, the Tarver brothers have grown it into an integrated shelled pecan and candy processor.
The Tarvers utilized several federal solar tax incentives, including the Investment Tax Credit, which will provide a 30 percent rebate on total installation costs. They also qualified for accelerated depreciation and bonus depreciation, which stretch out over the first five years. Combined, these incentives cover more than 100 percent of their overall costs, according to Coastal Solar.

Arty's Garden:

Red cedar rich, warm and underappreciated

PAGE 7

By Arty Schronce

I love the smell and the color of cedar wood rich, warm, refreshing. It reminds me of young women and their hope chests, of Solomon's temple and its use of the cedars of Lebanon, of long-lasting fence posts and of the Stuckey's gift shop at the beach filled with cedar souvenirs.
I also love our Eastern red cedar, sometimes just called red cedar, which is found throughout much of the eastern and central United States but not commonly planted except by growers who shape this native tree into fragrant, finetextured Christmas trees.
Birds are the main reason red cedars are part of our landscape. They eat the blue berries and deposit the seeds. That is why you often see a line of red cedars along pasture fences. The birds perch and sow, and cedar trees sprout and grow. Among the feasting and sowing birds are mockingbirds, bluebirds, catbirds, robins and the appropriately named cedar waxwings with their wingtips that appear to be dipped in red sealing wax. Cedar waxwings are social and can form large flocks. When a flock of these attractive birds descends to feed, it can make the cedar look like a Christmas tree with living ornaments.
Botanical sticklers will point out that cedar "berries" are not berries at all but small, fleshy cones. Such technicalities do not matter to the birds who relish them or to the people who enjoy the beauty of both the berries and the birds they attract.
If you have wondered why some trees have berries and some do not it is because, like some hollies, red cedar is dioecious. That is, it has male and female reproductive organs on separate trees. Occasionally you may find a monecious Eastern red cedar with male and female organs on the same tree. Like many trees, a red cedar may bear a heavy crop one year and a light one the next.
And yes, I know that despite its name, red cedar is not a true cedar. It is a juniper, Juniperus virginiana. That doesn't bother me a bit; to paraphrase the Bard, a cedar by any other name would smell as sweet.
Besides the fragrance of its leaves and wood, there are other qualities I value about red cedar. For example, there is the way it can change to different shades of green with the angle of sunlight or in response to temperature. Besides food, it provides winter cover for birds from both cold winds and predators. Numerous species nest in the thick shelter of its branches. It is the host plant for the olive hairstreak, a little butterfly with olive and brown underwings. And red cedar is tolerant of heat, cold and drought and is

not particular about soil. Although red cedar has many fine points, it should not be
planted next to an apple orchard since it is an alternate host for a fungal disease called cedar-apple rust.
Red cedar is a variable species, but young trees tend to be rocket shaped. They may take on a middle-age spread or remain somewhat columnar as they mature. My favorite red cedars of all are the old ones. They become majestic with a noble ruggedness in old age. The bottom limbs die off, revealing a shaggy bark, and the canopy opens up. We

should all age so well. Please take time to appreciate Georgia's red cedars, and
consider planting one instead of leaving it to the birds. Talk to a horticulturist at your local nursery or garden center. They may even offer some red cedar cultivars selected for differences in growth habit or leaf color.

Cook Georgia Grown:
Traditional NE Georgia BBQ Chicken and Mop Sauce

By Gary W. Black Georgia Agriculture Commissioner
Cooking chicken in Northeast Georgia is a tradition. I started as a ninth grade FFA member stacking cement blocks, lighting charcoal and flipping racks (50 halves at a time). I now more frequently cook 50 halves at a time in an upright smoker fired by wood. The "ag teacher" recipe over charcoal or in a smoker is still the best and almost foolproof. At home my favorite wood is pecan.
Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 3 hours
Yields: 50 halves. Sauce can be changed based on quantity of chicken. Just keep equal portions of ingredients.
Ingredients 50 medium-sized chicken halves, salted both
sides with Kosher salt 16 oz. Canola oil 16 oz. apple cider vinegar

16 oz. Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce 16 oz. REALemon concentrate 16 oz. Texas Pete hot sauce, or substitute Coarse-ground cracked black pepper
Directions Prepare sauce by combining all liquids. Heat to boil, then remove.
Place chicken halves cavity side down on smoker rack. Sprinkle pepper on top. Cook three hours at 250-275 degrees. After one hour begin mopping or spraying sauce liberally at 20 minute intervals. Test by eyeball method of easily twisting leg quarter and/or affirming 165 degree internal temperature. Serve immediately or place in lined cooler, coat with balance of sauce, close cooler and allow additional time (15-30 minutes) for steaming. Enjoy!
All recipes have been tested for accuracy in our Georgia Grown Test Kitchen unless otherwise noted. For more recipes and to watch cooking in action, find our "Pick, Cook, Keep" series at www.gpb.org/pick-cook-keep!

Save the Market Bulletin!

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, 2017

By Amy H. Carter
Editor
Never argue with someone who buys ink by the barrel. Especially if he's a constitutional officer of the state. A politician with his finger on the button that starts a roll of newsprint running through a printing press is a force to (not) be reckoned with. Or so it seemed for the first 93 years of the Market Bulletin's existence.
At various times throughout the publication's history, budget-minded members of Georgia's executive and legislative branches proposed to make the Market Bulletin a fee-for-service publication. A niche periodical with a narrow topical focus, the Bulletin was nonetheless popular enough to boast upwards of 500,000 subscribers when it was offered free to any Georgian who cared to receive it. With production expenses in excess of $500,000 a year, the Market Bulletin must have looked like lowhanging fruit to budget hawks seeking cuts in taxpayer-funded services during lean economic times.
Maybe they knew them was fightin' words to whichever man had been elected to the office of agriculture commissioner at the time. If not, they learned as soon as the next edition of the Market Bulletin hit the streets. In 1972, it was then-Gov. Jimmy Carter's turn. If logic prevailed in such matters, the state's most famous peanut farmer would be the natural choice to finally make a successful case for a subscriber-funded Market Bulletin. Commissioner Tommy Irvin put that idea to rest with a banner headline on the front page of the Jan. 12, 1972, issue: "HELP SAVE YOUR BULLETIN."
"Governor Would Cut Publication," he wrote. "It is obvious the Governor does not realize how valuable you consider the BULLETIN. However, it is within the power of the State Legislature to restore this appropriation. As a former legislator, I know your local representative would appreciate hearing from you."
On Jan. 14, Atlanta Constitution columnist Celestine Sibley published a loving and well-timed ode to the Market Bulletin, which Irvin reprinted in the Bulletin on Jan. 26.
"The other day I sat in the House chamber over at the capitol and heard precedents cracking or at least being threatened with fracturing blows all over the place," Sibley wrote. "It didn't bother me much because in political matters I'm always comforted by the knowledge that change usually improves things and if not, this too will pass. And then somebody told me the Market Bulletin was being threatened. Now really, gentlemen!"
One can just imagine the future President and his executive secretary, Hamilton Jordan, crunching the numbers and crafting a fiscally sound rebuttal to all this hand-wringing sentimentalism. The Governor even penned a personal note to Irvin on his handwritten working papers: "Tommy: Thank you for publishing this reply to your front page article and editorial. Give me equal treatment Jimmy."
Bless his heart, he tried. "As Governor and a farmer, neither I nor anyone else is trying to abolish this newspaper. I would never permit it," Carter wrote. "We are trying to slow down the increase in its cost to the taxpayers. What would you do if you were paying the cost of a service which did not improve in value but whose postage costs went up 1,500 percent in five years?" Go ahead and guess what he got for bringing cold hard numbers to the impassioned fight for a paper that, in Sibley's words, "keeps us eager readers in a constant state of delight." He got overruled. The General Assembly continued to fund the Market Bulletin in full until 2003, when reduced appropriations forced an end to the weekly publication schedule. In 2010, the Legislature removed the Market Bulletin from the state's budget completely. On July 1, 2010, the Georgia Department of Agriculture began charging Market Bulletin subscribers $10 per year to receive the paper. Last year, subscribers collectively (and voluntarily) paid more than $400,000 for the Market Bulletin. Perhaps $10 a year is a small price to pay for what Sibley described as "the pure pleasure the Market Bulletin gives us."
