SUMMER LOGISTICS

Summertime and the living is easy…isn’t that how the

famous song from the Porgy & Bess opera goes? Blanche and I saw Porgy & Bess on our honeymoon in New York just a few years ago.

For some of us, the living is easy, or at least somewhat easier, in the summer months. Even without big vacation plans, there just seems to be a summertime state of mind that takes hold in South Carolina. I remember when our boys were young that one of the things we looked forward to during summer was a break from logistics; you know – school and team practice schedules, calendar planning and basically getting from A to B in some kind of organized and timely fashion.

There’s no summer break for most South Carolina farmers, though, because this is peak season for harvest and/or final prep for many of our crops, including Certified SC Grown produce. With that, logistics is top of mind for our farmers; they have to contend with the many steps and challenges that come between farm and table or whatever a crop’s final destination is.

The long version of farm to table is farm to processor to food hub to wholesaler to grocery store or restaurant to table. Even with ideal transportation, efficiency is hard to achieve, especially in our rural counties. Instead of getting from A to B, our farmers have to contend

with a process that’s more like A to C to D to E to B. The old saying going around your elbow to get to your thumb comes to mind.

Ideal transportation is a pipe dream for so many farmers in our state. The national truck driver shortage estimated at over 50,000, coupled with the new federal electronic logging device (ELD) rule, is an obstacle. Truck weight limits force drivers to take longer routes than necessary. South Carolina’s weight limits on our secondary roads are lower than in Georgia and North Carolina.

Getting product to the food hub isn’t easy for farmers who lack time and transportation. South Carolina’s Food Hub Network–Catawba Farm and Food Coalition in York, City Roots in Columbia, Growfood Carolina in Charleston, Pee Dee Food Hub in Marion and Swamp Rabbit Café and Grocery in Greenville–provide resources to our smaller farmers and to custom-ers. Ideally, we need an old-fashioned milk route coordinated among farmers to get their products to these hubs. Our department is working to make this happen.

Whether your living is easy this summer or not, I hope that you’ll thank a farmer when you fill your plate with everything our South Carolina farmers grow for us. It took a lot of logistics to get to you.

Red, juicy and sweet—who doesn’t love water-melons? A cold watermelon on a hot day is the epitome of summer in the South.

Local growers are harvesting now, with the season lasting through early fall. South Carolina water-melons are bringing excellent prices, which is good news for growers. Adverse weather this spring in Florida and Georgia affected their crop, but our watermelons are doing just fine. In fact, our state has about 8,000 acres of watermelons.

Dr. Gilbert Miller, vegetable specialist at Edisto Research and Education Center, is the state’s watermelon expert. As president of the SC Water-melon Association, he actively promotes watermel-ons, and he would like to see more of the smaller growers in the association. “They would greatly benefit by joining,” he said.

Big growers sell truckloads of watermelons to huge retailers, while the smaller growers might send their produce to farmers’ markets or to mom and pop stores. Sometimes they send them to larger growers to be included in big shipments.

Miller is happy to share his encyclopedic knowl-edge of watermelons. He explained that more than 50 varieties of watermelons will be featured at the next Watermelon Field Day on July 12 in Blackville. Speakers will share the latest research related to watermelon produc-tion. The seed reps will be on hand to talk about variety attributes, and attendees can see the watermelons, cut them and taste them.

In fact, taste is one of the best things about watermelons, Dr. Miller

said. Unlike some fruits and vegetables, which are selected for shipping ability, watermelons are always flavorful. “We’ve kept the taste in watermel-ons. We regularly check for sweetness.” Seedless melons, for example, are sweeter than seeded.

Research shows that the market is changing. Consumers now prefer smaller watermelons. “Ideally, the 14- to 15-pound watermelon is most easily bought and taken home,” he said. And while there’s definitely a place for organic watermelons, some of the heirloom varieties serve only small niche markets.

Disease is a tremendous problem for watermelon growers, as are mites and pollinators. “It’s a big issue. Bee keepers have a terrible time keeping bees alive, and they have a hard time getting enough bees in the field,” Dr. Miller said.

Bees must visit a watermelon flower 21 times in one day to transfer enough pollen to set the fruit. The flower is open for only one day, so the window is brief. Solitary bumble-bees are an alterna-tive pollinator, but growers can’t tell how many bees they have or if they transfer enough pollen.

The watermelon association promotes the tasty fruit both for

its food value and for its newly discovered benefits to athletes. A nationwide campaign, “Watermelon Fuels Athletes,” is based on scientific evidence that the fruit has beneficial health attributes. Water-melon juice expands blood vessels while containing less fructose than leading sports drinks. For the last several years, the association has given cut slices of watermelons to the 40,000 runners in Charleston’s Cooper Bridge Run.

Dr. Miller, himself an athlete who placed second in the National Sprint Triathlon competition last August, has firsthand knowledge of the benefits of watermelon. He qualified for the world champion-ship triathlon, where he will compete on Sept. 13 in Australia. The competition includes a 750-meter swim, a 20 K bike ride, then a 5 K run.

So what is he looking forward to in Australia? “I’m assured they will have watermelons at the finish line,” he said. What then? He’ll head to some nearby watermelon fields to do further research for growers in South Carolina.

W A N T – M I S C E L L A N E O U S

The S.C. Emergency Management Division has released the official 2018 South Carolina Hurricane Guide. Updated for the current season, it details useful information on what residents should do before, during and after the landfall of a major hurricane.

Sections include new evacuation zones (Dorchester County), tips on preparing for an evacuation, ways to stay connected during an emergency, and steps to keep in mind when returning home. Imagery and artwork from last year’s Hurricane Irma are featured.

The guide is available at all South Carolina Welcome Centers, at any Walgreens store, and at SCDMV offices in Bamberg, Beaufort, Bluffton, Charleston, Conway, Dillon, Florence, Georgetown,

Kingstree, Ladson, Lake City, Little River, Mullins, Moncks Corner, Mount Pleasant, Myrtle Beach, North Charleston, Saint George and Varnville. It can be downloaded at scemd.org.

SCEMD, county emergency managers and the National Weather Service urge citizens to take time now to prepare for major emergencies by reviewing their family emergency plans, developing a disaster supply kit, and talking with family members about what could happen during a crisis.

FORESTRY COMMISSION UNITES WITH ARBORGEN ON TAYLOR NURSERY REBOOT

The U.S. Department of Agriculture encourages America’s farmers to nominate candidates to represent their community on their local county committees. USDA’s Farm Service Agency is accept-ing nominations for county committee members from now through Aug. 1.

Committees play a critical role in the day-to-day operations of FSA, making important decisions on programs dealing with disaster and conserva-tion, emergencies, commodity price loan support, county office employment and other agricultural issues.

“Our county committees make decisions about how federal farm programs are administered locally to best serve the needs of agriculture in their community,” said acting FSA administrator

Steve Peterson. “We strongly encourage all eligi-ble producers to visit their local FSA office to find out how to get involved in their county’s election. There’s an increasing need for representation from underserved producers.”

FSA county committees, which consist of up to 11 members, meet once a month or as needed. Members serve three-year terms.

Producers can nominate themselves or others. To serve, they must participate in an FSA program and must sign an FSA-669A nomination form, which is available at www.fsa.usda.gov/elections.

Forms must be postmarked or received in the local FSA office by Aug. 1. Visit farmers.gov for more information. Election ballots will be mailed to eligi-ble voters beginning Nov. 5, 2018.

W A N T – L I V E S T O C K

EACH AD MUST LIST A SPECIFIC ANIMAL WANTED BY AN INDIVIDUAL.

1. Line salad bowls with fresh arugula and top with cucumbers and red onion.

2. Top with fresh water-melon and sprinkle with feta cheese.

3. When ready to serve, drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Mix it up with savory options like croutons, capers, olives, or seeds. Serve immediately.

2018 LEGAL NOTICES

TRENTON—The South Carolina Forestry Commission is partnering with commercial forestry seedling provider ArborGen, which has assumed responsibility for the operation of Taylor Nursery.

The collaboration represents a unique public-pri-vate partnership in which ArborGen will use Taylor Nursery as a production facility for its portfolio of seedling genetics.

ArborGen will make a substantial investment in modernizing the nursery’s equipment and infra-structure, including irrigation systems, storage

coolers, and seeding and harvesting equipment.

The facility and its seedlings will undergo a co-branding effort. The forestry commission will determine seedling production goals – up to 5 million – for South Carolina landowners, who are eligible to receive discounts on orders up to 100,000 seedlings.

Taylor Nursery’s customers stand to benefit from the partnership between the Forestry Commis-sion and ArborGen. Not only will landowners see increased production and greater selection variety, but also enhanced customer service.
