Three major invasive
species threaten NC forests
`Dr. Patricia Norris of New
Mexico has been hired as direc-tor
of the Veterinary Division
Animal Welfare Section of the
N.C. Department of Agriculture
and Consumer Services.
The Animal Welfare Sec-tion
licenses public and private
animal shelters, boarding ken-nels
and pet shops and over-sees
the state’s Spay and Neuter
Fund.
“I am thrilled to bring Dr.
Norris on board as director of
the Animal Welfare Section,”
said Agriculture Commissioner
Steve Troxler. “She has unique
mix of experience with private
practice and public service that
will serve the department well.”
Dr. Norris earned her Doc-tor
of Veterinary Medicine from
the Virginia Tech College of
Veterinary Medicine in 1986
Norris named NCDA&CS
Animal Welfare director
and has a graduate certifi -
cate in veterinary forensic
science from the University
of Florida College of Veteri-nary
Medicine.
Dr. Norris was in pri-vate
veterinary practice for
25 years in Virginia, North
Carolina and New Mexi-co.
She served as veterinar-ian
at the Duke University
Primate Center to provide
care for their colony of en-dangered
lemurs. She also
served as veterinarian for the
Pitt County Board of Health
and on the County Animal
Response Teams for Pitt and
Madison counties.
Previously, she served
as the staff veterinarian for
the Doña Ana County Sher-iff’s
Offi ce, the only position
The N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is
fi ghting the spread of three major invasive insect species primarily
harming ash, black walnut and redbay trees in the state. The threat is
real and only just beginning to be seen in the state as these pests spread.
In many cases, long-distance movement of fi rewood may be en-couraging
the spread of emerald ash borer, walnut twig beetle and the
redbay ambrosia beetle into previously uninfected areas,” said Alonso
Suazo, entomologist with the Plant Industry Divisions’ Plant Protec-tion
Section. “We are continually trying to get the message out that it
is always best to use fi rewood local to the area and leave any unused
wood behind.”
The emerald ash borer, fi rst identifi ed in the state in 2013, was
probably introduced to the U.S. from Asia in wood packaging materi-als,
such as crates, pallets, or dunnage used in cargo shipments. As of
summer 2014, the borer had been detected in Granville, Person, War-ren,
and Vance counties.
All four native ash species – pumpkin, Carolina, green and white
– are susceptible to attack by the borer. That means an estimated 2.5
million ash trees in the state are at risk. Damage caused by emerald ash
borers may kill trees within three to fi ve years of initial infestation.
Adult beetles are metallic green, ½-inch long and 1/8-inch wide,
and are active in North Carolina from late spring through mid-summer.
Larvae can be found underneath the bark throughout the year. The
natural fl ight of the beetles is fi ve to seven miles per year, but rapid
Representatives from
many divisions of the N.C.
Department of Agriculture and
Consumer Services will be
on hand at the Southern Farm
Show Feb. 4-6 to answer ques-tions
and explain department
programs. Department staff
will be in the meeting room of
the Jim Graham Building at the
State Fairgrounds in Raleigh.
NCDA&CS joins more
than 400 companies that are
exhibiting agricultural equip-ment,
technology and ser-vices
as part of the annual
show. Representatives with
agritiourism, soil and water
conservation, forestry, pesti-cides
and structural pests, food
and drug protection and more
will be in attendance daily .
The event, which is the
largest agricultural show in the
Carolinas and Virginia, is free.
The annual Ag Develop-ment
Forum will be held Feb.
5 at 9:30 a.m. in the Holshous-er
Building, with Commis-sioner
Steve Troxler provid-ing
an update on the state of
agriculture in North Carolina.
There will also be meet-ings
of the N.C. Pork Council,
the Tobacco Growers Associa-tion
of North Carolina and the
N.C. Soybean Producers Asso-ciation.
The N.C. Forest Service and
the N.C. Division of Parks and
Recreation will conduct a pre-scribed
burn in Hanging Rock
State Park this winter to reduce
the risk of wildfi re.
Prescribed-burn manag-ers
are hoping to conduct a burn
on about 250 acres, in January
or February in the Flat Shoals
Mountain area.
The burn will be dependent
on the right weather conditions
to minimize the likelihood of the
burn escaping containment lines
or causing smoke in nearby com-munities,
said Stokes County For-est
Ranger Jonathan Young.
Prescribed-burn manag-ers
created a plan that includes
smoke-management details, fi re-control
measures, acceptable fuel-moisture
and weather parameters,
and the necessary equipment and
personnel required to safely con-duct
the burns. The burn will be
conducted by staff from the N.C.
Forest Service, the N.C. Division
of Parks and Recreation and local
fi re departments.
During the burn, visitors to
the park can expect some trail
closures. Park managers will post
signs about the closures.
Prescribed burning is a
safe forest-management tool
used for native fi re-adapted
ecosystems and fi re-dependent
species. The fi res reduce dan-gerous
buildup of pine straw,
sticks, and other forest litter
that put people and communi-ties
in jeopardy from wildfi re.

You will notice something
different about the Agricultural
Review this month – color! We
are updating the newspaper, start-ing
with this issue. Going for-ward,
photos in the newspaper
will be in color and we will be
adding color to the masthead.
In terms of content, you
can expect the same type of ag-ricultural
information, program
updates, event listings and ads.
Plus, this monthly column where
I weigh in on relevant agricultural
issues, upcoming events and oth-er
items of interest.
The Agricultural Review was
fi rst published by the N.C. De-partment
of Agriculture in 1926.
In the 89 years since, the paper
has seen the department add “and
Consumer Services” to its name,
but the core missions of this pub-lication
to provide agricultural
information and be a venue for
buying and selling agricultural
products has remained largely the
same. It is a legacy I am pleased
to carry on.
The Agricultural Review
is an important publication for
many farmers and residents be-cause
it gives them a place to
advertise their farm equipment,
seeds, livestock, land and other
items for free. The reach of the
publication creates a much big-ger
marketplace for people in ru-ral
areas of the state, which helps
with sales.
And while I know there are
other places where you can list
items for sale, the Agricultural
Review is strictly focused on ag-ricultural
products or ag-related
items and it is a publication that
people have grown up with and
trust.
The classifi eds are defi nitely
part of the reason the newspaper
has such a loyal following – peo-ple
love reading them. I under-stand
their interest, too, because I
have bought items from the news-paper
before.
I hope you enjoy the chang-es.
***
I want to also mention the an-nual
Ag Development Forum
that I will be hosting Feb. 5 at
the Holshouser Building at the
State Fairgrounds in Raleigh.
This event is held there in
conjunction with the Southern
Farm Show Feb. 4-6. I invite
you to join us for this annual
event.
We are still working out
the details of the agenda, but
we will have speakers on the
program who will discuss is-sues
of current interest. In the
past, we have had economists
from N.C. State University to
talk about what they forecast
for the coming year. As a busi-nessman,
I can tell you I always
fi nd them to be very informa-tive.
I will give my annual State
of Agriculture address as well. I
plan to outline some of my pri-

The N.C. Structural Pest Control Commit-tee
recently approved settlement agreements for
cases in Forsyth, Lincoln, Pender, Randolph and
Wake counties:
The committee approved the following:
• Michael Howard of B&G Exterminating
Co. in Winston-Salem agreed to pay $1,200
for fi ling an inaccurate and incomplete
wood-destroying-insect report; failure to re-cord
a moisture level of greater than 20 per-cent
before performing an application for
the control of wood-decay fungi; failure to
trench the soil in the crawl space and to drill
and treat slabs adjacent to the foundation
walls; and for not providing an explanation
of items waivered on the Waiver Form.
• Gary H. Ward of Bugg Busters in Lincoln-ton
agreed to pay $800 for allowing his
liability insurance to expire. Ward’s insur-ance
expired on Aug. 26, 2013, and was not
renewed until Sept. 30, 2013. Bugg Bust-ers
performed 501 household pest control
services and 39 wood-destroying-organism
services during the lapse in renewal of his
liability insurance.
• Jorge Rivero, president of El Club Mexi-cano
in Asheboro, agreed to pay $10,000
for the misuse of Raid Concentrated Deep
Reach Fogger, TAT Concentrated Fogger
and fumigant Fumiteco 56 and for not being
a certifi ed or licensed pesticide applicator.
All three pesticides were released in a food
packaging facility after work. The building
reopened three days later and workers be-came
ill when they entered the building. The
Raid and TAT foggers are not labeled for use
in commercial food/feed establishments. Fu-miteco
56 (aluminum phosphide) can only be
use by a certifi ed or licensed applicator.
• Ansley Sherlock of Hampstead agreed to pay
$400 for improper storage of pesticides. Sher-lock
was working as a technician performing
structural pest control under Jason Burkhart’s
structural pest control license. Sherlock stored
Contrac All-Weather Blox, First Strike Soft
Bait and Borid Insecticide outside. The label
for these pesticides states to store them in a
cool, dry place inaccessible to children and
pets.
• In a related settlement, Jason Burkhart of
Cary, who held a structural pest control li-cense
under his business Trutech in Charlotte,
agreed to pay $2,000 for several violations.
These included failure to provide an employee
with 24 hours of training before he mixed and
applied pesticides; failure to obtain registered
technician cards within 75 days for three em-ployees;
failure to make available all required
structural pest records during regular business
hours at the Charlotte offi ce; failure to submit
the names of recently hired employees to the
Structural Pest Control Section; and for the
failure of a technician to have a copy of the
label for each pesticide being used, failing to
maintain adequate spill control on his service
vehicle and failure to mark rodent bait with
the signal word, such as danger, warning or
caution, from the label.

Committee announces settlements
spread has been attributed
mostly to the movement of
fi rewood, Suazo said.
Another pest, the wal-nut
twig beetle, carries the
fungus Geosmithia morbi-da.
This fungus causes thou-sand
cankers disease, which
threatens North Carolina’s
native black walnut trees.
After infestation, a tree dies
within two to three years.
Walnut twig beetle was fi rst
found in the eastern U.S.
in 2010 and was detected
in Haywood County in fall
2012. Black walnut is val-ued
for its wood, nuts and
ornamental features. It is
also important for wildlife,
as its nuts provide food for
birds, squirrels and other
small mammals.
Symptoms of thousand
cankers disease include a
thinning canopy and branch-es
sprouting from the tree
trunk. Small holes where the
beetles ha ve entered and exited
the bark may be seen if closely in-spected,
and small oval or round
cankers may be seen if a very thin
layer of the bark is removed or
scraped.
Lastly, North Carolina’s
Coastal Plain is threatened by the
spread of the redbay ambrosia
beetle. This beetle, like the emer-ald
ash borer, is native to Asia. It
carries a fungus that causes a dis-ease
known as laurel wilt, which
was detected in Bladen County in
2011. The disease has since been
discovered in Brunswick, Colum-bus,
New Hanover, Pender and
Sampson counties. The N.C. For-est
Service has been surveying
affected areas to determine the
extent of the disease. Trees and
shrubs susceptible to laurel wilt
include redbay and swampbay,
as well as spicebush, sassafras,
pondspice and pondberry. As of
2014, laurel wilt has only affect-ed
redbay in North Carolina. In-fected
redbay trees display wilted
reddish-brown leaves and black
staining in the outer sapwood,
which can be seen after remov-ing
the outer bark. Movement of
infested fi rewood may also move
this beetle into new areas.
“The public can help
us combat these pests in
two ways,” Suazo said.
“First, don’t move fi re-wood;
the risk isn’t worth
it. And secondly, contact
your county forest ranger
if you see evidence of
damage from these pests.
It’s important that we
know if these pests are on
in the move in other coun-ties.”
Hardwood-firewood
quarantines are in place
in Haywood, as well as
Granville, Person, Warren
and Vance counties due
to the presence of walnut
twig beetle and emerald
ash borer, respectively.

The N.C. Department of
Agriculture and Consumer
Services’ Agronomic Servic-es
Division has hired Daniel
Overcash as regional agrono-mist
for Cabarrus, Davidson,
Davie, Forsyth, Iredell, Meck-lenburg,
Rowan, Stanly, Surry,
Union and Yadkin counties.
Regional agronomists are
part of the Agronomic Ser-vices
Division’s Field Services
Section. They provide advice
on crop fertilization, nutri-ent
management, lime needs,
soil testing, plant tissue analy-sis,
use of animal wastes and
composts, nematode analy-sis,
and testing of source wa-ter
and nutrient solutions.
“Our regional agronomists
provide a great benefi t to the ag-ricultural
community, and I en-courage
folks to make good use
of these services,” said Agricul-ture
Commissioner Steve Troxler.
“I am pleased that Daniel has ac-cepted
this position, and I know
he will be a valuable resource
for growers seeking to optimize
crop nutrients or manage plant-parasitic
nematodes.”
Overcash, who still lives on
his family’s farm in Mooresville,
earned bachelor’s degrees in hor-ticultural
science and agricultural
education as well as a master’s
degree in agricultural education
from N.C. State University. He
served as a plant pest specialist
with the NCDA&CS Plant In-dustry
Division, working closely
with the ornamental nursery crop
industry, and also taught agri-culture
at Surry County Schools.
To arrange a consultation
with Overcash, contact him at

orities for 2015. Without ques-tion,
this is an exciting time to
be in agriculture. I see great op-portunities
ahead, but the last
thing we need to do is be too
comfortable with where things
are. We have to keep looking
ahead and anticipating road-blocks
and needs that may be
on the horizon instead of wait-ing
and having to react to a sud-den
emergency.
I can tell you I have a num-ber
of short-term and long-term
projects on my radar with re-gard
to the department.
The forum is free to attend,
we’d just ask that you register
so we know how many people
to plan for. You will soon be
able to register online at the
NCDA&CS website, www.
ncagr.gov.
I hope 2015 is a great year
for production, and maybe this
will be the year agriculture and
agribusiness break $100 billion

Checking price scanners for accuracy is a year-ound
activity for the N.C. Department of Agriculture
and Consumer Services’ Standards Division.
“We have 21 inspectors throughout the state that
inspect price scanners at grocery stores, discount
stores and large-format retail stores as a part of their
job,” said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler.
“Last year we inspected about 3,000 locations across
the state. On average, about 6 percent of stores will fail
their inspection.”
The NCDA&CS Standards Division conducts pe-riodic,
unannounced inspections of a business’ price-scanner
system to check for accuracy between the
prices advertised and the prices that ring up at the reg-ister.
If a store has more than a 2 percent error rate on
overcharges, inspectors discuss the fi ndings with the
store manager and conduct a more intensive follow-up
inspection at a later date. Undercharges are also re-ported,
but do not count against a store. Inspectors try
to inspect stores every 18 months.
For drug stores and dollar stores, 50 items are
scanned in the initial inspection, and 100 items are
scanned at grocery stores and large-format retail
stores. If the store fails, inspectors return for a 300-
item inspection. If the store fails this inspection, it re-ceives
a fi ne of up to $5,000. Stores are fi ned a $150
administrative fee and then $15 for every item that is
overpriced on the shelf. Any fi nes paid by stores go to
the local school system.
Shoppers should pay close attention to the prices
on the shelf, especially sale items, said Jerry Butler,
measurement section manager. Butler explained that
businesses used to change prices at the store level,
but now this is often done at the corporate level, with
prices downloaded right into the store’s price scanners.
Stores may not be as quick to change the prices on the
shelf.
“Most stores want the customer to be happy, and
in our experience errors are more often due to disor-ganization,
not dishonesty,” said Butler. “If you go to
them with a complaint, they will usually correct their
action.”
Consumers can contact the Standards Division at
919-707-3225 to register a complaint. “You can fi nd
our phone number on the inspection sticker of every
scale in grocery stores and on gas pump inspection
stickers across the state,” said Butler. “If you see a
problem that the store won’t correct for you, we will
check it out for you – that’s our job.”

The N.C. Pesticide Board
recently approved the follow-ing
settlement agreements for
individuals and companies
in Beaufort, Duplin, Lincoln,
Martin, Mecklenburg, Perqui-mans,
Pitt and Stokes counties.
Stuart Ricks of Pantego
agreed to pay $500 for purchas-ing
restricted-use pesticides
without a certifi ed applicator’s
license. In a related settlement,
Douglas A. Black, an employee
at Crop Production Services in
Pantego, agreed to pay $1,000
for selling restricted-use pesti-cides
to a non-certifi ed applica-tor.
Greg Jenkins, an employee
at East Duplin High School
in Beulaville, agreed to pay
$1,200 for applying pesticides
to the athletics fi elds without
an applicator’s license and for
damage caused by drift to a
vineyard adjacent to the fi elds.
Albert Dellinger of Vale
agreed to pay $700 for dam-aging
his neighbor’s vineyard
twice. Both times he allowed
herbicides to drift from his pas-ture
onto the grapes.
Andrew Q. Eure Jr., an
employee of Coastal AgroBusi-ness
in Hamilton, agreed to pay
$2,100 for selling restricted
pesticides to non-certifi ed ap-plicators.
Wepak Corp. of Charlotte
agreed to terms after having
its license suspended by the
Pesticide Board on June 20 for
disinfectants that were ineffec-tive
and contaminated. Wepak
agrees to submit products for
testing again and follow these
recommendations from the board:
Change out the wash drums
weekly; install a water fi ltration
system; test the product monthly
for contamination and adultera-tion.
The board will lift the sus-pension
and reinstate the products
after successful testing.
Jeffery A. Tann Sr., an em-ployee
of Southern States-Hert-ford
Agronomy Center in Hert-ford,

damage to a wheat crop and dam-age
to a soybean fi eld caused by
drift from herbicides.
Hoyt M. Haddock Sr. of
Greenville agreed to pay $2,100
for taking the pesticide license
exam as another person. Haddock
signed the test and completed the
answer sheets as Hoyt. M. Had-dock
Jr., which is his son’s name.
He also used his son’s driver’s
license number on the exam.
Haddock Sr. retired in 2002 as a
pesticide inspector with the N.C.

This autumn, seeds from
many different tree species hit
the ground in record amounts.
And squirrels weren’t the only
ones looking for them.
N.C. Forest Service staff
from across the state collected
the seed used to grow more
than 50 types of tree seed-lings
for the agency’s nursery
program. The NCFS sells these
native seedlings to landown-ers
at low cost for a variety of
purposes, such as reforestation,
wetlands mitigation, aesthetic
improvement and wildlife habitat creation.
“While trees make some seed almost every
year, a crop of this size only occurs about every
four or fi ve years,” said James West, head of the
NCFS Nursery and Tree Improvement Program.
“Things have to be just right when it comes to
rain, temperatures and wind events. If one of
those parameters is off, the seed yield is lower.”
Bumper crop of tree seeds benefi cial
to NC Forest Service seedling program
This fall has proven to
be a bumper crop year for
most species across the state,
West said. The weather con-ditions
for the last two years
have been favorable for
trees to produce seed such as
acorns, drupes and cones. In
some species, seed produc-tion
can take two years to
complete.
This year’s heavy seed
crop has enabled the nursery
staff to process seeds from
many species and prepare
them for long-term storage. This will ensure that
seedlings will be available to North Carolina land-owners
in future years when tree seed may not be
as plentiful.
Landowners interested in planting trees this
winter or spring may order their seedlings by call-ing

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural
Statistics Service is gearing up to survey the producers of horticul-tural
crops. NASS is conducting the 2014 Census of Horticultural
Specialties to gather detailed information on horticultural produc-tion
and sales across the United States.
“The Census of Horticulture includes producers of fl oriculture,
nursery and other specialty crops,” said Dee Webb, state statistician
of the NASS North Carolina Field Offi ce. “According to the most
recent Census of Agriculture results, nursery and fl oriculture prod-ucts
were more than a $14.5 billion industry in the United States.”
This census will provide a source of comparable and consistent
data at the national and state levels for the industry. NASS will gath-er
information on horticultural activities conducted during 2014, in-cluding
production of horticultural crops, value of products, square
footage used for growing crops, production expenses and more.
“Participation is important because this census is a unique op-portunity
to provide information that will be used by policymakers,
organizations and businesses for the next several years to help make
decisions regarding the availability of goods and services, funding,
policies and other key issues that affect the industry,” Webb said.
In December, NASS mailed the census to selected horticultural
operations in the United States. For the 2014 Census of Horticulture
Specialties, an operation is defi ned as any place that grew and sold
$10,000 or more of horticultural specialty products in 2012, as re-ported
in the 2012 Census of Agriculture.
Producers can fi ll out the Census online via a secure website,
www.agcensus.usda.gov, or return their form by mail. Federal law
requires all producers who receive a form to respond and requires
NASS to keep all individual information confi dential.
Recipients are required to respond by Feb. 5. NASS will pub-lish
the results in December 2015. For more about the Census of
Horticulture, visit www.agcensus.usda.gov or call 919-856-4394.

Page 8 AGRICULTURAL REVIEW January 2015
2014: A year in photos
The N.C. Museum of History grew outdoor educational gardens highlighting some of North
Carolina’s top crops. Pictured are tobacco plants outside the museum.
The N.C. General Assembly invested a total of $5 million over two years
in equipment and technology upgrades at the state’s 18 research stations.
Commissioner Steve Troxler, center, and N.C. State University Dean of
the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Richard Linton, left, and
N.C. A&T State University Dean of Agriculture and Environmental
Sciences Bill Randle, right, showcased some of the new equipment at
Central Crops Research Station in Clayton.
Export markets remain signifi cant for North Carolina agriculture. The department has been actively involved in encouraging improvements
at the state ports to boost future exports. Roughly 95 percent of the world population lives outside the United States, meaning exports
will continue to be a major economic factor. Pictured is the Wilmington port with the Got to Be NC Agriculture sign in the foreground.
Commissioner Troxler, center, surveys damage in Hyde County from Hurricane
Arthur, which damaged some crops in eastern North Carolina in July.
The N.C. Department of
Agriculture and Consumer Ser-vices
will offer a series of risk
management workshops across
the state in January through
March. The workshops will fo-cus
on managing price volatil-ity
and identifying macro indi-cators.
Risk-management workshops run January through March
The following topics will be
covered: Introduction to grain
hedging, basis trading, cost of
carry, cotton futures, option trad-ing
on futures and equities, and
