EPA, Army Corps of Engineers reach agreement on new WOTUS rule
State leaders applaud `common sense' definition of jurisdictional waters

By Amy Carter amy.carter@agr.georgia.gov
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reached agreement Jan. 23 on a "common sense" definition of navigable waters

regulating a waterway where a commercial vessel can navigate to channels that flow only when it rains and isolated wetlands."
A 2015 revision to the definition prompted Attorney General Carr to lead a multi-state coalition in blocking enforcement of the rule, which he called "an example

Technology helps the green industry thrive in a tight labor market

DULUTH A tight job market for landscaping businesses in Georgia offered vendors at the annual WinterGreen trade show a chance

to show off products that bring technology to a labor-intensive industry.
Landscapers, lawn services and nurseries, like other businesses, are looking for ways to maximize their labor resources as Georgia experiences record low employment levels. Vendors at WinterGreen, the annual trade show of the Georgia Green Industry Association, said they see the tight labor market as an opportunity for new technology.
"The main thing and whole reason why we are so successful in this is the labor shortages. That's all we hear. Every single customer, `We can't find help, we can't find help,'" said Robert Mudrak of My Goat, a Nashville, Tenn., based company that designs and builds robotic grass mowers.
Stationed at one corner of the trade show held last month in the Infinite Energy Center, My Goat got the attention of passersby with a demo model built for small areas. The smaller model resembles an indoor robotic vacuum sweeper.
"So far, most people have been using them to fill in the work in for lack of a better term common areas," Mudrak said. "Golf courses will put their employees on the golf course, and they'll put these on the common areas."
He said his company works with mower manufacturers to build different sizes of mowers to fit a customer's need. That could be large fields or roadside rights of way.

Vendors said they see the tight job market for Georgia's green industry as an opportunity for new technological innovations that could help companies deal with labor shortages. (Jay Jones/GDA)

like they come from a science fiction movie," he said.
The makers of the TreeDiaper took the existing technology of baby diapers and turned it into a rechargeable watering device for trees

and shrubs. Dan Whitehead, the Georgia sales rep for the company, said the TreeDiaper helps by reducing the labor needed to care for the tree while also providing proper mainte-

My Tractor Story: A machine with a past
Raybon Anderson loves agriculture and antique farm equipment. He has an antique tractor collection that includes a John Deere LA like the one his daddy used. Anderson bought the tiny tractor at a classic tractor auction in Waynesboro a couple of years ago.
Although the LA produced only 11 horsepower, that's still 10 more horsepower than the mules that farmers were replacing during World War II. The LA had a lot of uses on the farm, mostly planting and plowing tobacco.
Another tractor Anderson has gotten a lot of use out of is a 1953 Ford Jubilee that he's had since 1980. He also has a 1952 Farmall Super M and a 1971 Farmall 140. The most intriguing piece of his collection is his 1952 Farmall Cub, which he found in the Market Bulletin. He still uses the Farmalls and Jubilee on the farm.
In addition to his tractor collection, he has a restored 1953 Chevrolet truck painted in honor of the one he used when he started his company, Bulloch Fertilizer, in 1963. He also owns Anderson's General Store in Statesboro.
Do you have a tractor story to tell? We'd love
to share it with our readers. Write to Lee
Lancaster in care of the Market Bulletin or

Georgie's Drive Thru Sugar Creek
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our No. 1 industry agriculture! For many years, a famous Telfair County landmark, the Talmadge Mansion, was hidden in plain sight. If I had a dime for every time I drove by that house without knowing it was there, I'd probably have a sock full of dimes by now. It sat off U.S. Hwy. 341 south of McRae, hidden by trees and bushes for years after the famous residents passed on. The house was built in 1937 by Eugene Talmadge and his wife Mattie, known to all as Mit. Talmadge had already served three terms as Georgia's Agriculture Commissioner and two terms as governor when he built the place. He served as governor for another term and was elected to a fourth before he died prior to inauguration in 1946. His son, Herman, was elected governor twice and served as a U.S. Senator for four terms. The house was bought and restored about 10 years ago by Jim Wooten, a journalist who retired from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Our friend, Miss Monica, recently bought the house and invited us in December to a housewarming party and to visit with another friend of ours, Santa Claus!

nance with a consistent flow of water. "We hear quite a bit that manpower is
at a premium, and people are concerned," he said. "What we do is not only help in lowering the number of times needed to water a tree but also improve on the proper care for that tree. You only plant a tree once, but you have to water several times for it to be successful."
The product is made of landscaping tarp material shaped to wrap around the base of plants. Inside the tarp are packs of hydrogel pellets like the ones used in baby diapers that hold and then slowly release water.
Whitehead said the TreeDiaper can hold up to a month's worth of water. It can

also replenish itself with rainfall and lasts for five years.
The Atlanta-based makers of Swift Straw offer plastic-wrapped bales of pine straw. Grant Feehrer said his company provides a new spin on an old product by compressing pine straw in different packaging from traditional bales held together by twine.
"It's more efficient for (landscapers). The workers can move more at one time," Feehrer said. "The big benefit of having plastic-wrapped instead of a string-tied bale is that it won't bust in a million pieces."
The company found that landscape workers spend a lot of time and effort

physically moving pine straw to the site, to the work area, spreading out the material and then cleaning up. Repackaging and compacting the pine straw was one way to make the job more efficient, Feehrer said. The plastic-wrapped bales are the same size as twine-tied bales but hold about 1.5 times the amount of pine straw.
"It cuts the time on unloading because the bales are palletized so that they can unload an entire truck in about thirty to forty-five minutes as opposed to a couple of hours unloading two string-tied square bales at a time."

Cook Georgia Grown:
Cajun Sweet Potato Salad

Editor's Note: While sweet potato season in Georgia is August to November, February is Sweet Potato Month nationwide. Sweet potatoes are a warm-weather vegetable that require a long growing season. They are grown from "slips," which are plants produced from the roots of previous crops. Potatoes are ready to harvest 90-120 days after planting. Here's one of our favorite new twists on sweet potato bliss.

Ingredients:

5 cups cubed and roasted sweet potatoes
cup chopped celery cup chopped red peppers cup chopped green onions cup chopped red onions cup sweet pickle relish 1 each minced and seeded fresh
jalapeno

1 tsp creole seasoning 1 tsp onion powder 1 tsp blackening seasoning cup local honey 3 Tbsps yellow mustard cup apple cider vinegar Salt & pepper

Directions:
In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes, celery, red peppers, green onions, red onions, pickle relish and jalapeno. In a small bowl combine all seasonings, honey, mustard and apple cider vinegar. Whisk together until blended. Pour dressing over sweet potato mixture and toss. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
For an added treat add crumbled bacon!

Rowan Singleton wins Bonnie cabbage contest
KATHLEEN Every year, Bonnie Plants delivers a free O.S. Cross cabbage plant to every third grader in the lower 48 states whose teacher has signed up for the Bonnie Plants 3rd Grade Cabbage Program. Each student takes the cabbage home and waters and tends to it until the end of the growing season. Then, they take a picture of their cabbage and the best cabbage from each school is chosen for a statewide drawing by that state's Agriculture Commissioner. Rowan Singleton, who attends Matt Arthur Elementary School in Houston County, is Georgia's winner. His cabbage measured 45 inches wide with a 14-inch head and weighed 15 pounds!

Going bananas

One gardener's attempt to cultivate the tropics in North Georgia

By Alexandra Woodford
Market Bulletin Spring Intern
HARTWELL The United States is one of the top consumers of bananas. Most of the ones we eat are imported from countries in Central America such as Panama, Costa Rica or Ecuador; however, a portion of what we consume is grown in the U.S. specifically Hawaii as bananas prefer high-heat climates. Few to none are harvested in the Southeast region of the United States, but what if you could have a few shoots of bananas growing out of your own backyard?
Years ago, Kim Higginbotham was at the hair salon when she noticed a container of tropical plants outside of the entry way. Upon inquiring about the plants, she learned that they were divided banana plants. Other than that, her stylist had no clue what to do with them and decided to give her one.
"I'll try to grow anything," said Higginbotham, but little did she know that she'd need to keep her steadfast optimism for a while longer than anticipated.
After two years in a pot, the plants showed zero signs of growth. The third year Higginbotham decided to plant them in the ground, and four miniscule bananas sprouted within that same year. In the fourth and fifth years, she decided to go back to housing them in pots for easier maneuvering during winter.
In the fifth year of having the plants, she chose to upsize the pots, which produced a huge growth spurt in the plants. In 2017, the sixth year, she gave a few away but planted the rest in the ground.
After six years of nurturing these unpredictable plants, they'd grown to nearly 10 feet tall. At this point it was winter,

so she followed her usual plan of dividing out the small bananas and putting everything in the garage. Seeing that she yielded a greater harvest from planting in the ground rather than pots, Higginbotham planted 12 in the ground and was able to sell 11 of them. Out of what she sold, she received reports that two that didn't make it. Both were cases of the plants being eaten by animals one by a goat, the other by a dog.
It is now 2020, and the plants have been cut down and mulched for winter. The bananas typically produce July through October, and Higginbotham predicts that they should begin sprouting once the last frost has passed.
Fifteen of the shoots from the last harvest were donated to the Elbert County High School's FFA greenhouse this past fall instead of being sold per usual. Depending on the intended purpose of the nurturer(s), all those shoots could potentially make up to four plants each.
Jordan Collins, the agriculture adviser at Elbert County High, reported that the donated plants are doing well and are currently dormant in the school's greenhouse. The plants are about two feet tall and have already started sprouting shoots. Collins said the ultimate goal is to help the plants continue to grow and eventually be able to sell the fruits of the class's labor at the school's annual spring plant sale within the next three years.
With the recent buzz on the topic of home-grown food, how does growing your own bananas "a peel" to you?
