FORT VALLEY If ever a crop sounded like a specialty, turmeric would be the one. Turmeric and its active compound, the antioxidant curcumin, is the latest word in health supplements in the U.S. It is said to act as an anti-inflammatory useful in treating such varied conditions as arthritis, digestive disorders, respiratory infections, allergies, liver disease, and depression, among others. It can be consumed in pill form, pulverized into a powder, boiled into tea, or

made into a paste for topical application to wounds and other maladies of the skin.
A tropical relative of ginger, turmeric is grown primarily in India. It is a centuries-long staple of wholistic Chinese and Ayurvedic medicines, but it is also the spice that gives Indian curry and some mustards, butters and cheeses their flavor and color. It is versatile, it is revered, and it is growing here, in Georgia.
In 2019, Dr. Bipul Biswas, associate professor in the College of Agriculture, Family Sciences and Technology at Fort Valley State University, was awarded a $100,000 Specialty Crop Block Grant by the Georgia Department of Agriculture to conduct field trials with turmeric.

Farm enterprise at Berry College is a classroom unto itself
Students market their work to nearby communities

By Jay Jones jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
Berry College's Student Enterprise Program brings academics to agriculture as students are responsible for businesses that produce beef, poultry, dairy and honeybee products raised on campus and sold to the public and retail customers.
The work aligns with students' academic interests most are animal science majors or business majors focusing on agriculture. The students said that the work also offers valuable real-life lessons in creating an enterprise from field to store shelf.
"I'm learning how to work with people on the same level as me and manage people under me," said Jacob Bronkema, a junior who is the student general manager of Berry Angus Beef enterprise. "The customer interac-

tion is also a big one for me because that is something that I haven't really had to do with jobs I had back home."
Dr. Kevin Renshler, director of Berry's Center for Student Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Development, explained that students across several academic disciplines use their talents to serve the college in the enterprise programs. He said the students reap all the successes from their work, along with the pitfalls.
"That's just the nature of having a startup or a small business that things happen, and you can't say, `Oh, woe is me," Renshler said. "I mean, you just have to deal with

2023 Pollinators of the Year named
Program encourages garden centers, gardeners to go native

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
Drew Watkins is among the biggest supporters of the State Botanical Garden of Georgia's Pollinator of the Year program. He operates Frank A. Smith Nurseries in Tucker and is a member of the Pollinator of the Year selection committee. Besides the obvious benefits of attracting pollinators, he said public awareness is a big plus.
"To me the biggest benefit, if you will, among the many benefits is the pure educational value of it," Watkins said. "What it does with our interactions and noticing what pollinators do, what bees do, what butterflies do. The diversity of pollinators is unbelievable."
The program started in 2019 to bring awareness to the green industry wholesale nurseries and landscapers of essential pollinator plants and their role in supporting pollinating insects like bees, wasps, and butterflies in Georgia.
The program grew out of concern over habitat loss for pollinators as meadows and forest land was reduced due to development and suburban sprawl. Other threats include improper use of herbicides and lack of plant diversity that allows for cross-pollination.
The committee selects four plants annually -- one each that blooms in the spring, summer and fall -- and a Georgia native plant. Nurseries are then encouraged to include the pollinators with their plant product lists available for retail sales and landscaping use in the following year. The 2023 pollinator plants of the year are: Blue Wild Indigo (Baptisia australis) for spring. Wild Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa) for summer. Aromatic Aster (Symphyotrichum oblongifolium) for fall. Georgia native Coastal Plain Joe Pye Weed (Eutrochium
dubium). Participating nurseries and retailers will have the pollinator plants available this year that were named last year: Carolina Lupine (Thermopsis villosa) for spring. Mountain Mints (Pycnanthemum species) for summer. Blue Mist (Conoclinum coelestinum) for fall. Coral Honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens) as the Georgia native.

A conservation horticulturist at the State Botani-

cal Garden at the University of Georgia, Heather Al-

ley said the plants available this year should be well

known to gardeners, and all are good bloomers with

brilliant colors. The Carolina Lupine is a four-foot-

tall wildflower with bright yellow blooms that support

several pollinators.

Five varieties of Mountain Mints are available

this year that provide small, white blooms with pink

specks and a pleasant aroma. Alley said the mints sup-

port bees, wasps and butterflies.

Alley said the 2023 pollinator plants promise to be

very aromatic and offer long-lasting flowers for annu-

als. She said her personal favorite is the Wild Berga-

mot, a favorite of hummingbirds.

"They are just really floriferous, and coincidently,

they're all kinds of shades of blue, which I thought

would make for a fun collage. The Wild Indigo is just really striking."
Alley said the program is on track for a successful year after facing significant challenges from the start. The 2019 pollinator plants were ready for 2020, but

Today, purple coneflower is a popular ornamental plant, but Cherokees grew it to make tea for medicinal purposes. The coneflowers are native perennials, making them a favorite plant for butterfly gardens. Here they are paired with with Prairie Willow from the Cherokee lands in Oklahoma. (Special Photo)

The plants grown at the Cherokee Garden are native to Georgia. They can be grown in backyard vegetable and flower gardens across the Piedmont and North Georgia regions.
Tony and Cara Harris provide a catalog of native plants they have identified on their blog, My Cherokee Garden (https://mycherokeegarden.com/). Each entry has photos, characteristics of the plants and a brief description of Cherokees' use of the plants.
Most vegetables planted by the Cherokees are available to gardeners today, like white and yellow fire corn. The Cherokees liked giving descriptive names to plants like white eagle corn with its white and blue kernels that reminded them of eagle's plume. Turkey gizzard beans, hog peanut (because the hogs liked them), and Georgia candy roaster squash are among the many examples of food crops of the Cherokees.
Harris said they have a seed bank for vegetables at the Cherokee Garden and are happy to offer advice for anyone looking to grow them.
Nearly Native Nursery in Fayetteville (www.nearlynativenursery.com) and North Georgia Native Nursery in Canton (www.northgeorgianatives.com) specialize in native Georgia plants, including many cultivated by the Cherokees.
The University of Georgia Extension Service has online resources on selecting and growing native plants in Bulletin 1339: Native Plants of North Georgia: A Photo Guide for Plant Enthusiasts. The bulletin and other resources can be found at https://extension.uga.edu/publications.html.

USDA researchers use peanut skins to make milk chocolate healthier

By Nancy Vanatta
USDA Agricultural Research Service
Office of Communications
Chocolate is as versatile as it is tasty, and you may already be aware of the health benefits of cocoa, and in particular, dark chocolate. Dark chocolate is healthier than milk chocolate because it contains more cocoa solids and therefore has more antioxidants (called flavanols), which may promote cardiovascular health.
But did you know researchers with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultureal Research Service in Raleigh, N.C., are developing a healthier milk chocolate?
ARS food technologist Lisa Dean and her team are using peanut skins to fortify milk chocolate, thereby increasing the chocolate's antioxidant levels. Peanut skins contain phenolic compounds including procyanidins which have been shown to reduce inflammation and act as natural antioxidants and antimicrobials.
Unfortunately, peanut skins are very high in tannins, which give them a bitter taste, so skins are usually removed in processing during blanching or dry roasting. Because 50 percent or more of the peanuts grown in the United States are made into peanut butter, all of those

removed skins are a major source of processing waste for the industry. Peanut skins can be used in animal feed, but the levels have to be low to keep the animals from rejecting the feed. This leaves the peanut industry with a large amount of peanut skin waste with little to no commercial value.
Dean and her team discovered that some of the phenolic compounds contained in the skins are the same catechins that are in tea, cranberries, and cocoa, and provide health benefits such as antioxidant activity and anti-inflammatory properties. But how do you capture the valuable phenolic compounds for valued-added uses?
Since the ARS research unit is located in the Food, Bioprocessing and Nutrition Sciences Department at North Carolina State University, they were able to have a group of students in a senior design class develop a way to combine the soluble extracts with maltodextrin, a starchbased polysaccharide, to make a free-flowing powder that was easier to handle and would control the bitterness.
The resulting powder could then be used as a functional food ingredient, albeit, with the caution that the allergenicity of peanuts carries over to peanut skins. (Therefore, any product

using the powder derived from the skins would have to report peanut allergy information on the label.) ARS researchers looked for possibilities to use the value-added ingredient in a way that consumers would associate with peanuts. Well, what pairs better with peanuts than chocolate?
"The phenolic compounds in cocoa are the reason for the health benefits attributed to dark chocolate, but they are also why dark chocolate is bitter. If you have ever tried one of the dark chocolate bars that are very high in cocoa (over 80 percent) you may have found it tasted more like tobacco than chocolate. Also, because dark

chocolate contains less cocoa fat, it is brittle and does not melt smoothly," said Dean. These are a few of the reasons why people often prefer milk chocolate over dark chocolate.
With this in mind, ARS researchers decided to investigate the possibility of increasing the antioxidant levels in milk chocolate to those found in dark chocolate.
Working with the ARS team, a graduate student prepared a series of milk chocolate squares containing increasing levels of the peanut skin powder. These chocolate squares were used in a threshold test during which a group of 100 consumers tasted the fortified squares along with some that did not contain any of the peanut skin ingredient. What Dean's group discovered was that most consumers could not tell if there was an additive in the chocolate until the level of the peanut skins was well above the level that had antioxidant activity equal to dark chocolate.
Dean's research constitutes another important example in creating value-added products from food waste. There are a number of food waste products including coffee grounds and fruit peels--that contain these polyphenol compounds, which could be extracted and processed to make functional food ingredients, including healthier chocolates.

Georgie's Drive Thru Kettle Creek
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel thru Georgia promoting the Peach State's No. 1 industry, agriculture! During the rough years of the Revolutionary War, 700 hungry British loyalists spotted a couple of cows in a pasture near Kettle Creek in Washington County and promptly lost sight of their surroundings. Led by a British colonel named Boyd, the soldiers crossed the Savannah River from South Carolina in search of a few good men to enlist as they marched toward Augusta. They were about to find a few good men -- about 300 American colonists -- sneaking up behind them. Early on the morning of Feb. 14, 1779, the British column came to a field where some "beefs" were grazing. They killed the cattle, set up camp on a small, round hill and commenced to cooking the stolen, fresh-cut steaks on their campfires. Just about the time they dropped their muskets to start eating, the colonists opened up on them! The most interesting thing about the Battle of Kettle Creek is four of the commanding officers have Georgia counties named after them: John Dooly, Andrew Pickens, Elijah Clarke, and future governor Stephen Heard, plus Nancy Hart's son, Jonesy, who was 15 at the time of the battle.

Specialty Crop: Grant also funds lavender, stevia, mushroom, and aronia berry research in Georgia
Continued From Page 1

Turmeric is not a root but a rhizome, and Biswas has successfully cultivated it in the ground beneath a stand of pine trees on the university's research farm about 30 miles southwest of Macon. He has also propagated it in raised beds in an open field and alongside other exotic tropicals in the specialty plant house, where turmeric grows hydroponically and in pots.
During a two-day conference at the end of January for fellow researchers and growers, he proved that turmeric, a tropical spice, can and does grow successfully in Georgia.
That is the point of the Specialty Crop Block Grant program, according to Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary W. Black.
"The goal of this grant program is to help fund research, marketing, and education projects that can produce the highest degree of measurable benefits to Georgia's specialty crop producers, in relation to each dollar spent," Black said. "We encourage organizations such as IRS-designated non-profits, commodity commissions, grower associations, state and local government entities, and colleges and universities to consider applying."
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service has allotted $1.4 million in grant funds to Georgia this year, and the department of agriculture is soliciting proposals from qualified entities interested in receiving a share of that money for research and education purposes. Concept proposals are due to GDA by noon, March 2.

Jen Erdmann, director of grants for the GDA, said funds are typically spent on Georgia's best-known crops: Vidalia onions, blueberries, peppers, and cucurbits, to name a few. But niche crops like turmeric have benefitted as well, she said while attending Biswas' field day.
Other unusual offerings that have benefitted from the Specialty Crop Block Grant program include lavender, stevia, aronia berry, and mushrooms, a project pitched successfully by Kennesaw State University.
"Dr. (Chris) Cornelison made a great case that, `Hey, we're bringing our mushrooms in from Pennsylvania and there's no reason we can't grow them here because they grow indoors,'" Erdmann said.
Cornelison, the lead researcher on the project, was awarded a $102,000 grant to study the viability of growing mushrooms in 40-foot shipping containers converted for use as cultivation chambers where the mushrooms grow on recycled agricultural substrate such as peanut hulls.
Specialty crops are defined by the USDA as fruits and tree nuts, vegetables, culinary herbs and spices, medicinal plants, and nursery, floriculture and horticulture crops. A listing of all crops eligible and ineligible for the Special Crop Block Grant can be found online at https://www.ams.usda.gov/services/ grants/scbgp/specialty-crop
