Buy early, save
money on N.C.
State Fair tickets The Western N.C. Ag Center
in Fletcher will come alive with
the sights, sounds and delicious
smells of the N.C. Mountain State
Fair Sept. 9-18. This annual event
showcases agriculture and West-ern
N.C. crafting and musical tra-ditions,
set against the backdrop
of carnival rides, games and food.
Agriculture takes center
stage with a number of education-al
exhibits on the grounds, includ-ing
Farmer Bill’s Ag-Venture,
where visitors can see piglets
hanging out with their mom and
baby ducks navigating a water
slide, and the Mooternity Ward,
where calves are expected to be
born each day. Other agricultural
exhibits include the Agricadabra
magic show, a mobile dairy class-room
where visitors can learn
about the milking process, and a
display of farm animals.
Young and old alike will
show livestock in competitions
during the Mountain State Fair,
with shows for meat goats, beef
cattle, dairy cattle, sheep, dairy
goats, rabbits, poultry and llamas.
Music, crafts, family enter-tainment
and roving acts will
round out the lineup of fun for
fairgoers. On the extreme side,
Moto Maniacs features daredevil
motorcycle stunts and acrobatic
feats, the USA Extreme Break-ing
Team is a high-fl ying martial
arts act that visitors won’t want to
miss, and the Kenya Safari Ac-robats
will amaze with their bal-ancing,
acrobatic, tumbling and
dance routines.
Other entertainment includes
the laugh-out-loud fun of a come-dy
hypnotist, the Vegas-style illu-sion
and magic show and musical
performances by Leon Jacobs Jr.
All grounds entertainment is free
with paid fair admission.
Fair hours are Fridays, 9 a.m.
to 1 a.m, Saturdays, 9 a.m. to
midnight, fi rst Sunday, 9 a.m. to
11 p.m. and second Sunday, 9
a.m. to 9 p.m.; Monday through
Thursday, 3 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Advance tickets are $7 for
adults and $3 for kids 6 to 12 and
senior citizens 65 and older, or $9
and $5 at the gate. Go to www.
wncagcenter.org for more in-formation.
A number of special promo-tions
and days are planned for
the Mountain State Fair. On
Friday, Sept. 9, there will be
free gate admission until 6 p.m.
The Mountain State Fair offers fairgoers thrilling rides, ribbon winning livestock, delicious foods, heritage
crafts, educational exhibits, music and entertaining performers. Make plans to attend Sept. 9-18 at the
Western N.C. Ag Center in Fletcher.
I periodically write about di-visions
and programs within the
N.C. Department of Agriculture
and Consumer Services in my
column, and this month I want
to talk about some of the infor-mation
the Agricultural Statistics
Division reports.
While Ag Statistics is techni-cally
a U.S. Department of Ag-riculture
program, its staff work
in our downtown Raleigh offi ce
through an ongoing cooperative
agreement.
They collect data from farm-ers
and put out a series of reports
each year on planting intentions,
crop updates, weather conditions
and projected yields. This infor-mation
can help farmers make the
best decisions on what to plant,
when to market their crops and
what the outlook for the crop may
be.
The latest crop report, which
came out Aug. 12, offers insight
into anticipated production for
certain crops.
We had been hearing from
staff and others in the fi eld that
corn looked strong this year. The
statistics report forecasts a corn
yield of 130 bushels per acre, with
total production over 122 million
bushels. That would push produc-tion
up 48 percent from the 2015
total of 82.5 million bushels.
As is typical in this stage of
the growing season, weather will
likely be the greatest factor in
whether or not production meets
expectations. We have heard from
some of our regional agronomists
about dry conditions that are af-fecting
crops, particularly in the
far western parts of the state. But
some farms in the Piedmont and
East are beginning to see heat-related
stress to crops also.
Cotton is also on pace for a
good year, with a yield forecast of
943 pounds per acre. That would
be 230 pounds per acre better than
in 2015, with production topping
out at 560,000 bales.
Soybean production is antici-pated
to be up slightly from 2015
at 57.6 million bushels; the yield
forecast is 36 bushels per acre.
Similarly, peanuts are looking
at a slight increase in produc-tion
with the planting of fewer
acres being offset by an in-crease
in yield. The expected
production will be around 300
million pounds, with yield at
3,800 pounds per acre.
On my travels across the
state, I have seen some good-looking
tobacco and I have also
seen some that looked a little
farther behind in growth. Over-all,
production is expected to
be down about 4 percent from
2015, with total production ex-pected
to come in around 363
million pounds.
The apple crop also looks
strong this year, with farmers
expected to harvest 5 million
more pounds this year com-pared
to last. Total produc-tion
is forecast at 110 million
Food Lion shoppers in
North Carolina can now buy
N.C. State Fair tickets along
with their groceries.
“For the fi rst time, State
Fair fans can purchase dis-count
admission and ride tick-ets
at Food Lion stores,” said
Agriculture Commissioner
Steve Troxler. “Tickets will be
available from cashiers during
normal business hours at Food
Lion stores statewide until
store closing on Oct. 13.”
Advance admission tickets
are $8 for adults and $3 for
children, $2 less than the cost
at the gate. Children 5 and un-der
and adults 65 and over get
in free.
Admission tickets for large
groups cannot be purchased at
Food Lion stores. For infor-mation
about purchasing tick-ets

The N.C. Department of Agriculture and Con-sumer
Services’ International Marketing Section
recently partnered with the N.C. SweetPotato
Commission to sponsor a food truck introducing
N.C. sweet potatoes and sweet potato recipes in
Germany.
The food truck traveled across Germany, stop-ping
at festivals in Augsburg, Berlin, Cologne,
Dortmund, Hamburg and Stuttgart. A member of
the food truck team reports sweet potato fries were
especially popular with consumers. In Stuttgart,
the demand was so great, the food truck kept a
long line for nearly three hours.
The goal of the program is to introduce sweet
potatoes to general consumers abroad in order to
increase demand for North Carolina-grown sweet
potatoes. Germany is one of several European
markets where sweet potatoes have found success
overseas. The department’s international market-ing
staff is also working on outreach in the United
Kingdom, France and Scandinavia.
North Carolina is the nation’s leader in sweet
potato production, growing more than half of all
U.S. sweet potatoes.
The N.C. Forest Service’s updated fee schedule for woodland
management plans recently took effect.
The updated fee structure allows certain types of woodland
plans to be provided to landowners without a fee. These supple-mentary
plans typically address single forestry practices, such
as tree planting, thinning and prescribed burning on individual
stands of trees.
Fees for comprehensive forest management and forest stew-ardship
plans will have a fl at charge of $5 per acre. Such plans
are more detailed and often qualify the landowner for the state’s
Forestry Present Use Valuation Program. Property tax savings
from one year of participating in the PUV program can often
offset the fee for the plan. Fees associated with woodland plan
preparation may also be a deductible expense for tax purposes.
Under the previous fee schedule, the per acre fee was coupled
with a $45 base fee per land parcel. The base fee has been elimi-nated.
“Ultimately, our goal is to provide the best service for land-owners
that we can, and these updated fees for woodland plans
will be a lot easier for landowners to manage,” said Agricul-ture
Commissioner Steve Troxler. “We think more landowners
will take advantage of the fi nancial and environmental benefi ts a
woodland plan provides.”
The N.C. Board of Agriculture approved the update July 26,
and the fees became effective Aug. 1. The N.C. Forest Service
began charging fees for certain plans in 2014 at the direction of
the General Assembly.
Woodland plans provide detailed forestry recommendations,
but they can also advise landowners on wildlife habitat, soil and
water protection, recreation opportunities, and insect and dis-ease
concerns. In addition, they can help qualify landowners for
forestry recognition and certifi cation programs.
Landowners interested in state or federal cost-share programs
typically need an approved woodland plan. Participation in
many of these programs results in a cost savings of 40 percent
or more. Cost-share payments help to reduce the initial capital
investment needed for many forestry projects, which leads to
higher overall fi nancial returns to the forestland owner.
Landowners interested in forestry advice and a woodland
plan should contact their county ranger for details. Landowners
also can call the N.C. Forest Service’s central offi ce at 919-857-
4801 for assistance.
pounds.
The peach crop hasn’t fared as well, which was expected because of a late spring freeze. The statistics
report projects production down 31 percent from 2015.
I hope you will make use of the reports from Agricultural Statistics. You can fi nd reports, along with
information from the Census of Agriculture, online at www.ncagr.gov/stats/latest.htm.

Highly pathnogenic avian
infl uenza alert
In 2015, HPAI was found
in the wildfowl population in
the United States, representing
a risk for poultry owners. At
this time no cases have been
found in North Carolina.
Poultry owners are encour-aged,
however, to watch their
birds for any signs of illness
and to contact a veterinarian
if they fi nd sick birds.
Growers can also contact
one of four NCDA&CS re-gional
veterinary diagnostic
labs for more information. Go
to www.ncagr.gov/vet/ncvdl/
VetLabFacilitiesDirectory.
html for contact informtaion.
As this disease can spread
by infected wildfowl, it is
important to eliminate op-porunities
for your birds to
come in contact with wild
birds.
Owners are also urged to
be extra mindful of biosecu-rity
measures to prevent the
spread of this diease.
This includes quarantining
any new poultry additions
from your existing fl ock for
two to three weeks to observe
for signs of sickness, have
a dedicated pair of shoes
and clothing for working
with birds that stay on your
property, be mindful if driving
onto property with poultry
as the disease can spread by
vehicles. More information
about HPAI can be found at
www.ncagr.gov/avianfl u.

Spence Farm in Spring Lake
does more than just feed the
physical needs of the commu-nity,
it also nurtures the souls of
those it interacts with.
Owners Ed and Sheila
Spence operate the farm, run a
roadside stand and sell at near-by
markets each week. While
that would seem to be enough
to keep most people busy, the
Spences also host workshops
at the farm through N.C. A&T
State University for people who
think they may be interested in
farming, such as veterans tran-sitioning
from the military into
civilian life.
It is a path Ed Spence knows
well. When he retired from the
military, Spence returned to the
familiar roots of the farm.
He said hosting veterans at
the farm and having them vol-unteer
gives them a more real-istic
understanding of the work
it takes to run a small farm.
“When a vet comes here, we
ask, ‘What have you done and
how do you know this is what
you want to do.?’ This gives
them a chance to see if they re-ally
want to do this,” Ed Spence
said. “It’s a lot of work. Any-thing
you do is a lot of work,
but what you put in, you get
out, too.”
For some volunteer veterans,
just the experience of work-ing
the land and being outside
is enough reward, providing a
quiet space for refl ection, re-covery
and reconnection. For
others, the experience helps
them fi gure out farming is not
for them, something Ed Spence
also sees as a valuable lesson.
“By the time a beginning
farmer gets going, he’s spent
$100,000, and maybe $200,000
by the third or the fourth year,”
he said.
The Spences started their
farm from ground zero with a
microloan to veterans from the
U.S. Department of Agriculture
for small and niche farms. Now
fi ve years into it, their opera-tion
is over three acres, includ-ing
a couple of greenhouses
to extend the growing season
through the winter.
Along the way, they have
slowly added to their farm of-ferings,
listening to the requests
of their customers, watching
food trends, trying new things,
investing back into their op-eration
and learning along the
way. Ed Spence recognizes the
advantages he has as a military
retiree with an income to rely
on as he grows his business.
During a recent visit, it was
clear Spence had made his
peace with the chores and chal-lenges
of farming. With a long
to-do list in his head, Spence
and his granddaughter, were
busy feeding and watering
chickens in the backyard.
Freshly dug trenches were
awaiting one of the newest
additions to the farm – an au-tomated
irrigation system. The
Spences were able to secure a
Natural Resources Conserva-tion
Service cost-share grant for
small farmers with the help of
Jacob Crandall, an agricultural
program specialist with the N.C.
Department of Agriculture and
Consumer Services’ Small Farms
Program.
This system will help Spence
more effi ciently manage the water
and nutrient needs of his plants.
Understanding what programs
are available for small farms and
then navigating the paperwork in-volved
in applying for loans and
grants can be daunting for farm-ers
who have a lot on their plates
already, Crandall said. “That’s
one of the things I do, is to help
show them what is available out
there and fi gure out what they
need to do to apply,” he said. “I
work with them and guide them
through the process.”
NCDA&CS received a grant
from NRCS that covers Cran-dall’s
work. As a retired USDA
employee who has knowledge of
many of the agency’s programs
and opportunities, Crandall’s ex-perience
is invaluable to small
farmers such as Spence.
“Jacob has been a big push
in us getting this grant, and his
help has made things easier. The
fi rst couple of years I was green,
and didn’t know the right ques-tions
to ask,” Ed Spence said. “I
don’t want this to just be a hobby.
I want to be a sustainable farm-ing
business. I am trying to work
smarter, not harder.”
In the mix of the family’s op-eration
are several small-plot-intensive
beds where they grow
a variety of vegetables in close
proximity, including carrots, kale,
garlic, Swiss chard, leaf lettuce
and beets. The beds feature short,
closely spaced rows that Sheila
Spence enjoys working in.
The spacing allows Sheila
Spence to harvest three rows at a
time, which seems more manage-able
than staring down the more
traditional long rows that they
also grow using plasticulture.
The plantings in the inten-sive
beds vary depending on
the time of the year, with win-ter
vegetables rotating in once
the summer plants are fi nished.
Sheila Spence explained that
she tends to leave weeds be-tween
the rows to help control
pests. “The bugs are eating the
weeds, and as long as they are
eating the weeds and not the
kale then I am good,” she said.
The Spences sell their har-vest
on Tuesdays and Thurs-days
at their roadside stand, and
also travel weekly to a gated
community market, Fayette-ville
City Market and a farm-ers
market at Fayetteville State
University that was started to
serve a neighboring area identi-fi
ed as a food desert.
Marketing remains essen-tial
to growing their customer
base. Although the farm is not
certifi ed organic, the Spences
produce crops without the use
of pesticides and commercial
fertilizers, something their cus-tomers
appreciate, Sheila Spen-ce
said.
Agritourism visits from area
schools have also been a more
recent addition, and the Spen-ce
s enjoy showing kids where
their food comes from, even
giving them a chance to pick
strawberries and blueberries.
Ed Spence said he loves
teaching children about grow-ing
fruits and vegetables so
they have an awareness of the
role farmers play in produc-ing
the foods found in grocery
stores.
Ed and Sheila Spence operate
Spence Family Farms in Spring
Lake, where they host military
veterans who think they may
want to venture into farming
after their service. They sell
their produce at their roadside
stand and at farmers markets in
Fayetteville. At left, the Spences
received a cost-share grant from
the USDA’s Natural Resources
Conservation Service to install
an irrigation system at the farm.
The system will save water and
improve the effi ciency of the
operation.
