The 3rd Annual Got to Be
NC Show Pig Sale will be held
June 9 at the Johnston County
Livestock Arena, 520 County
Home Road in Smithfi eld.
“While the N.C. State Fair
is still fi ve months away, veter-an
participants in the livestock
shows know that now is the
time to begin working to get an-imals
ready for the show ring,”
said Billy Lewis, NCDA&CS

“Being competitive starts with
good stock, followed up with
lots of work with the animals.”

The N.C. Department of Ag-riculture
and Consumer Services
has secured $9.2 million in fed-eral
funding to protect land from
development and maintain ag-ricultural,
forestry and military
uses.
The funding will support con-servation
efforts by the Eastern
North Carolina Sentinel Land-scape
Partnership, which in-cludes
the NCDA&CS, the Army,
Marine Corps, Air Force, other
federal and state agencies, local
governments and nonprofi t orga-nizations.
“The Sentinel Landscape
Partnership will use this grant to
protect farms and forests that are
vital to relieving encroachment
on military training areas and
airspace,” said Agriculture Com-missioner
Steve Troxler. “Work-ing
with willing landowners, this
effort will establish conservation
easements and management pro-grams
on high-priority lands to
the benefi t of both agriculture and
the military, North Carolina’s two
largest industries.”
The funding was awarded
through a biennial competition
known as the REPI Challenge,
which is operated by the Depart-ment
of Defense’s Readiness and
Projects will protect farms, forests, plus training areas for Marines, Air Force
Environmental Protection Inte-gration
Program. North Carolina
topped nine other states in the
competition.
Of the $9.2 million, $5.8 mil-lion
will be used by the Marine
Corps to establish an easement
and support the creation of habi-tat
for the red-cockaded wood-pecker
on more than 12,100
acres of state-owned land. This
will free up Marine Corps lands
for training.
The Air Force will use the re-maining
$3.4 million to protect
more than 4,500 acres of high-priority
land necessary to main-tain
training airspace for the
Dare County Range, the prima-ry
training range for F-15E air-craft
crews at Seymour Johnson
Air Force Base in Goldsboro.
The REPI award will be
matched with funds from the
U.S. Department of Agri-culture’s
Natural Resources
Conservation Service, the Air
Force, the Marine Corps, the
N.C. Wildlife Resources Com-mission
and the N.C. Agricul-tural
Development and Farm-land
Preservation Trust Fund.

Greenhouse Grower magazine
recently released its list of top
100 growers in the United States
and four North Carolina green-house
and nursery operations
were included. This speaks well
for our greenhouse industry, and
is a refl ection on the health of our
state’s green industry as a whole.
Making the list are Metrolina
Greenhouses of Huntersville at
No. 6, Van Wingerden Interna-tional
of Mills River at No. 47,
Rockwell Farms of Rockwell at
No. 54 and Baucom’s Nursery of
Charlotte at No. 81.
It is impressive to make the
list, but it is also a good sign that
Metrolina, Van Wingerden and
Baucom’s Nursery also moved up
in their rankings from 2016, sig-nifying
growth in their individual
businesses.
Two other U.S. companies on
the list also have large operations
in Western North Carolina, which
contribute to their success. Those
include No. 2 on the list, Costa
Farms based out of Florida, and
Youngs Plant Farm based in Ala-bama,
which is No. 40 on the list.
It is not surprising to fi nd this
kind of business diversifi ca-tion
given the great production
climate our state has, and its
central location that makes for
easy distribution along the East
Coast.
The article noted that the
businesses on the list represent
60 percent of the industry, based
on the 409 million square feet
of total greenhouse space in-cluded
on the U.S. Department
of Agriculture’s 2015 Floricul-ture
Crops Summary.
North Carolina’s greenhouse
sector of the industry fared bet-ter
during the recession, but the
rest of the green industry took a

The N.C. Department of Agriculture and
Consumer Services is warning sweet potato
growers about an emerging root-knot nema-tode,
Meloidogyne enterolobii, which has been
identifi ed in fi elds in Columbus, Johnston,
Wayne and Wilson counties.
“Finding this destructive nematode in the
midst of our sweet potato growing belt is wor-risome,
because of its potential to cause sig-nifi
cant damage to the crop if it becomes estab-lished,”
said Agriculture Commissioner Steve
Troxler. “We are the No. 1 producer of sweet
potatoes in the U.S., growing more than half
of the total U.S. crop. Sweet potatoes gener-ated
more than $331 million in cash receipts in
2015, so it is important to our economy.”
Because no resistant varieties of sweet pota-toes
are available against this root-knot nema-tode,
the use of soil fumigant before planting is
recommended, said Dr. Weimin Ye, nematode
assay section chief for the NCDA&CS Agro-nomic
Services Division.
Last October, Ye, regional agronomists and
extension specialists visited a farm in Johnston
County to look at damage and collect samples
of sweet potatoes, soybeans and weeds, includ-ing
morning glory, pigweed, sicklepod and
marestail. Lab results from the samples re-vealed
high numbers of root-knot nematodes in
all the samples.
“Molecular diagnosis positively identifi ed the
nematode as the pacara earpod root-knot nematode.
In the U.S., this species was fi rst reported in Florida
in 2004 and only more recently in North Carolina
in 2013,” Ye said. “It is considered one of the most
important root-knot nematode species because of its
ability to develop on many economically important
crops such as tobacco, tomatoes, soybeans, potatoes,
cowpeas, sweet potatoes and cotton. This nematode
can have a major impact on sweet potato quality, of-ten
resulting in a total loss of the crop.”
One Johnston County farmer fi rst noticed a small
area of damage in 2015, but the problem spread to
about three acres of sweet potatoes in 2016, result-ing
in a reported total loss of the sweet potatoes, and
prompting him to consult his regional agronomist
and county extension specialist.
Regional agronomists are part of the Field Servic-es
Section of the department’s Agronomic Services
Division. They provide advice on crop fertilization,
nutrient management, lime needs, soil testing, plant
tissue analysis, use of animal wastes and composts,
nematode analysis, and testing of source water and
nutrient solutions. To fi nd your area regional agrono-mist,

NCDA&CS warns of emerging nematode
June 2017 AGRICULTURAL REVIEW Page 3
It’s been a few months since
new revisions to federal rules
to protect agricultural work-ers
from pesticide exposure
went into effect. Since then,
inspectors with the Structural
Pest Control and Pesticides
Division have been working to
assist farmers, producers and
businesses with meeting the
new requirements. The chang-es
are the fi rst major revisions
of the Environmental Protec-tion
Agency’s Worker Protec-tion
Standard since 1992.
“We received a couple of
requests from greenhouses and
farmers on helping to make
sure they understood the new
requirements,” said Patrick
Farquhar, eastern district man-ager
for the Pesticide Section.
“We met with these businesses
before the growing season to
talk about what will be required
of them. As the growing season
continues, we plan to continue
to work to help growers come
into compliance.”
Hoffman Nursery in Rouge-mont
requested a compliance
inspection to review the WPS
revisions in February. The nurs-ery
has 62 greenhouses and 50
employees. Inspectors reviewed
changes that the nursery would
need to make in record keeping
and pesticide handling.
Two signifi cant revisions to
the Worker Protection Standard
include annual safety training as
well as medical evaluations and
yearly fi t testing for workers who
wear a respirator. “Previously,
training was on a fi ve-year rota-tion,
and workers just had to be
verbally asked if they had been
trained,” Farquhar said. “Now,
growers must keep records of all
trainings and maintain those re-cords
for two years.”
The new revisions also require
all pesticide handlers — employ-ees
who mix, load, apply or other-wise
assist with pesticide applica-tions
— and early-entry workers
— employees who are trained and
protected and enter a treated site
before the re-entry interval has
expired — to be at least 18 years
old.
Pesticide inspectors met with
Hoffman Nursery on Worker Pro-tection
Standard revisions.
Another signifi cant change
has been the new respirator re-quirements,
which now include
medical evaluations and annual
fi t testing. Applicators who wear
the respirator must receive train-ing
on proper use of the respira-tor
and maintain training records
for two years. “Even growers and
farmers that have been working
the fi elds for years and are used to
wearing a respirator aren’t used to
having yearly fi t test and medical
evaluations. It is big change for
growers to have this new require-ment,”
Farquhar said. “Many of
the calls and questions we have
gotten are about this revision.”
Seven pesticide inspectors
across the state perform Worker
Protection Standard inspections.
Each inspector does about 60
per year. Growers are randomly
chosen. For example, an inspec-tor
might see a sprayer in the fi eld
and stop to ask questions to see
if the farm is in compliance. If a
farm has had issues in the past,
including investigations, warn-ings
or complaints, it also might
get inspected. WPS inspections
are reported to the EPA. Inspec-tors
also visit any establishment
that produces, manufactures or
repackages pesticides on a regu-lar
basis.
“Our inspectors will go to any
nursery, greenhouse or farm and
conduct a compliance inspec-tion
if requested,” Farquhar said.
“It is a great opportunity to fi nd
out what you need to be doing to
come into compliance without
fear of being fi ned. It is a time to
ask questions and let us show you
areas that may need correcting.”
Inspectors also work with grow-ers
to provide training materials
and forms to help with record
keeping.
Growers who are not in com-pliance
may be issued a notice
of non-compliance and the
farm is given a certain number
of days to comply. Workers and
handlers cannot continue work-ing
until they receive approved
WPS training. If the action is
not corrected, an investigation
could be initiated, resulting in a
Notice of Warning or Notice of
Violation. Issuance of a Notice
of Violation could lead to civil
penalties being assessed. “With
these revisions being new, we
really want to work with grow-ers
and help them get into com-pliance
before we issue warn-ings
or fi nes,” Farquhar said.

safety and worker pro-tection
standards, go online to

NCDA&CS helps industry understand new federal
Worker Protection Standard rules
Brenda Blake of Blake
Farms in North Wilkesboro
is pretty comfortable raising
chickens, vegetables and the
grain crops that are part of the
family farming operation. After
all, the Blake family has been
in the farming business since
1978, with three generations
now actively involved.
But the idea of growing
colorful hanging baskets in
the family’s former tobacco
greenhouses was unchart-ed
territory, even for such
a well-diversifi ed, progres-sive
and experienced farm.
When the Blakes tran-sitioned
out of tobacco, the
greenhouses sat empty. The
family was interested in put-ting
them to use versus tear-ing
them down. Hydroponic
lettuce, greenhouse tomatoes,
cucumbers and even strawber-ries
were discussed, but did not
move past the idea stage, in part
due to the perishable nature of
produce and the need to have
ready markets.
When the farm hosted a re-gional
tour for staff with the
N.C. Department of Agricul-ture
and Consumer Services
Agronomic Services Division,
agronomist Dwayne Tate,
who regularly works with the
Blakes, asked his coworkers if
they had any suggestions for
using the greenhouses.
Agronomist Georgia Love
suggested growing hanging
baskets targeted for Mother’s
Day sales. Love had some
personal experience growing
hanging baskets in greenhous-es
and knew it could work.
“The greenhouses had
been sitting empty for four
years, and we didn’t know what
Agronomic and production advice helps greenhouse grower
to do with them. And then I talk-ed
to this nice lady (Love), and
she told me I could do fl owers
in here,” Blake said. “I thought,
I can sell fl owers.” So began the
journey.
After researching what it would
take and talking with Love more,
the family farm took the plunge in
2016, producing and quickly sell-ing
around 1,000 hanging baskets
by word of mouth and through
Facebook posts. That success
convinced them to bring a second
greenhouse online this year, dou-bling
the number of baskets for
sale. In addition, the family added
a few ferns and some strawberry
and vegetable plants.
Starting a new business can be
an adventure, but it can also be
daunting and intimidating when it
is something completely new.
“We were nervous. We called
Dwayne a lot and he got this
crew up here and they have really
helped us,” Blake said. “Without
their help, we would have not
done this at all. These greenhous-es
would have probably still been
sitting empty. Knowing Georgia
had experience with hanging bas-kets
in this type of greenhouse
let me know we could do this,
and having on-site consultations
from NCDA&CS agronomists
and N.C. Cooperative Extension
Service specialists has helped us
as issues have come up.”
Tate and Love have continued
to support the Blakes through
this new venture, offering fertil-ity
advice and even connecting
the family with fl oriculture and
greenhouse specialists from N.C.
State University Extension, such
as Brian Whipker and Amanda
Taylor, to provide technical assis-tance
with other production and
pest management concerns,
Taylor is a nursery and green-house
area specialized agent
serving western N.C. counties.
Warmer weather has plants in the
greenhouse blooming earlier, and
Taylor has been able to offer the
Blakes advice on managing that.
“I have been happy to help
the Blakes in their venture grow-ing
hanging baskets and bedding
plants,” Taylor said. “In a green-house
environment, getting on an
issue quickly can keep a small
problem from getting much big-ger
and costlier.”
NCDA&CS agronomist Tate,
enjoys being able to help growers
troubleshoot problems and make
these types of connections.
“The Blakes would be suc-cessful
no matter what. They are
a unique family unit,” he said.
“Georgia gave them confi dence
to move forward and Amanda
provided technical support that
was outside the scope of my work
expertise. I see my role as kind
of like that of a fi rst responder.
Come in, assess the situation and
call in help as needed.”
The Blakes sell directly to
consumers from the farm, with
13-year-old son Luke assisting
customers at the greenhouse.
“He absolutely loves it, and is
good at it,” Blake said.
Working together with fam-ily
is a blessing, Blake added.
“We meet at the shop every
morning and have breakfast
together and go over the day’s
work. I feel very fortunate and
blessed to be able to do that.”
Altogether, the farming op-erations
support four Blake
families – patriarch and ma-triarch
Gary and Lorene who
started the farm, their son Chad
and wife Brenda, grandsons
Seth and Luke, and Heath and
Tyler and their families. That
means every new venture on
the farm is important.
The family grows 550 acres
of corn, 150 acres of soybeans
and operates 22 poultry houses
in addition to the greenhouse
plants. Growing the spring bas-kets
works well in the overall
farm operations, and involves
some of the younger family
members and Blake’s daugh-ters-
in-law. The farm is on
Facebook at Blake Farms LLC.
Regional agronomists are
part of the Field Services Sec-tion
of the department’s Ag-ronomic
Services Division.
They provide advice on crop
fertilization, nutrient manage-ment,
lime needs, soil testing,
plant tissue analysis, use of

signifi cant hit as housing starts and sales dropped, and consumers
scaled back their spending on plants and landscaping.
I am happy to see the green industry rebounding, but we are not
back to where we were during the industry’s peak in 2006-2007.
With the strong return of home sales, I am optimistic that we will
see continued growth in all sectors of the green industry . Congratu-lations
to these businesses for being recognized nationally.

Communication is key to any good relationship,
including business. FieldWatch, an online mapping
service designed to help prevent crop damage and
bee deaths due to accidental or unintended pesticide
drift, aims to help improve communication between
growers, beekeepers and pesticide applicators.
For the past year, department staff, with the
help of N.C. State University and N.C. Farm Bu-reau,
have been attending conferences, club meet-ings
and other events to get the word out. And the
outreach has worked. In the fi rst year, nearly 1,000
producers, 1,300 apiaries and 66 pesticide users
have registered.
“April marked the one-year anniversary of the
program,” said Jason Williams, data steward for
FieldWatch for North Carolina. “We are well ahead
of other states that have been with the program
much longer. We have had some state directors for
FieldWatch call to compliment us on our outreach
and ask questions on how we were so successful
with sign ups, especially among bee keepers.”
“We were concerned that during renewal we
would lose a lot of the beekeepers that signed up for
BeeCheck, the part of FieldWatch for beekeepers.
FieldWatch requires participants to renew annually.
But, we only lost about 50 apiaries through the re-newal
process, and we’ve gained most of them back
by now.” To renew, a hyperlink is sent to the email
address provided. Participants click on that link to
renew.
Williams also receives phone calls from people
who want to sign up but lack access to a comput-er.
He has been able to enroll them right over the
phone. “Most people typically have someone in the
family with a computer that can help with sign up
and, if wanted, sign orders. If not, the process is
easy to do over the phone.”
“We are pleased with the response we’ve had
so far to the program. Our goal for year two is to
increase participation from specialty crop growers
and pesticide applicators,” Williams said. “Applicators especially
have this idea in their head that this is a regulatory thing. It’s strict-ly
voluntary. We already regulate applicators. FieldWatch is a tool
to help them avoid problems. If you don’t spray on specialty crops
or bees, we probably won’t come visit you.”
As for pesticide applicators spraying for mosquitoes, the chemi-cals
used for this can be deadly to bees. With so many apiaries in
urban areas, this tool is a great resource.
Frank Fowler, vice president of McNeely Pest Control in Win-ston-
Salem, signed his business up for FieldWatch. He found out
about the program at the Winter Pesticide School. “We signed up
for it because it is a good fi t for us,” Fowler said. “We do a lot
of mosquito spraying under our public health license and want to
make sure there are no bee hives around when we use foggers.”
Fowler had not heard of the program until seeing the booth at the
training. He was eager to get his company signed up. “Any tool we
have in our toolbox that helps us be a more responsible, environ-mentally-
friendly company is a good thing.”
With the new auxin products being used, which many specialty
crops are sensitive to, growers have even more rea-son
to make sure their crop is clearly marked.
Outreach efforts by the Structural Pest Control
and Pesticides division contributed to the fi rst year
success of DriftWatch.
Conrad Draughn, a tobacco farmer from Mount
Airy, recently signed up for Driftwatch, the part
of FieldWatch for producers. “I grow 100 acres of
tobacco that is sensitive to the new 2,-4-D prod-uct,”
he said. “I wanted to mark my crop because
it is sensitive to spraying.” Draughn signed up for
Driftwatch after hearing about the program at a
Good Agricultural Practices training workshop
for tobacco growers. “It was very easy to plot
my fi elds, especially after getting the fi rst outline
drawn,” he said. “I could use that to help plot the
rest.”
“Our goal is to continue our outreach and grow
our numbers,” Williams said. “Hopefully year two
will have growers and applicators embracing the
program just as much as our beekeepers have.
Growers, beekeepers and pesticide users can
access DriftWatch and BeeCheck at www.ncagr.
gov/pollinators. The website offers detailed in-structions
on how to sign up and use the mapping
tools. Producers of high value specialty crops,
such as tomatoes, tobacco, fruit trees, grapes and
vegetables, can map their sites and provide contact
information about their operation on DriftWatch.
Using BeeCheck, beekeepers map their hives on-line
using pins and half-acre circles and can choose
which hive details to display on the map.
FieldWatch Inc. is a nonprofi t company created
to develop and expand the operation of the Drift-
Watch Specialty Crop Site and BeeCheck Apiary
registries. This program was purchased with a
grant from the N.C. Pesticide Environmental Trust
Fund. It is part of the department’s ongoing efforts
to protect and increase valuable pollinators in the
state.
Online mapping tool increases awareness of beehive locations
An online mapping service is designed to improve information shar-ing
between growers, beekeepers and pesticide applicators to protect
beehives such as the one pictured above.
Farmers advised to review
farm emergency plans
Active hurricane season predicted
Agriculture Commissioner
Steve Troxler’s annual plea for
farmers to prepare for hurricane
season is especially poignant
this year, considering many are
still recovering from Hurricane
Matthew.
“Hurricane Matthew is a
painfully fresh reminder of just
how important it is to have an
emergency plan for your farm,
food company or agribusiness,”
Troxler said. “Take precautions
and think through your plan
now, and discuss it with your
employees and family. Doing
this can help no matter what
emergency strikes.”
Scientists at N.C. State Uni-versity
are predicting 11 to 15
named storms in the Atlantic
basin this year, numbers in line
with the average since 1950. Of
those storms, four to six could
become hurricanes. The Atlan-tic
hurricane season typically
runs June 1 to Nov. 30, but this
year has already seen one tropi-cal
storm, Arlene, which made
a brief appearance in April.
Planning helps farmers protect
their families, workers, equip-ment
and buildings, Troxler said.
“Livestock operations should
maintain emergency plans that
address power needs and on-site
feed capabilities,” he said. “Also,
identify places to relocate animals
from low-lying areas. We saw
farmers take those precautions
before Matthew, and I believe it
played a role in reducing animal
losses from the storm.”
Farmers and businesses should
review insurance policies to en-sure
they have proper coverage,
including wind, hail, fl ood and
catastrophic coverage if neces-sary.
Some coverage takes 30
days to go into effect.
The N.C. Department of Ag-riculture
and Consumer Services
has a website, www.ncagr.gov/
disaster, with links and resources
for different types of agribusi-nesses
to plan and recover from a
disaster. A Farm Emergency Plan
Template is available on the site
to help organize information that
is needed after a disaster.
