Is that going to happen this week? 03:33.112 --> 03:35.882 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100% it is. I think it's become my favorite part of the 03:35.982 --> 03:39.118 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5% show, our gardens of the week. I think of it sort 03:39.219 --> 03:41.788 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5% of like a virtual field trip across the state so 03:41.888 --> 03:44.791 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% let's get started. We have four photographs to share 03:44.891 --> 03:47.694 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% with you today. We're going to start with 03:47.794 --> 03:51.331 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Linda Tollinson Smith. She sent us some beautiful 03:51.431 --> 03:55.835 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% bright Hibiscus from Anderson, South Carolina. 03:55.935 --> 04:00.540 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Next up, from Roebuck, Wanda Eller sent us flowers 04:00.640 --> 04:03.109 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% along the front side of her house which includes 04:03.209 --> 04:07.180 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100% some vibrant orange Cosmos. 04:07.280 --> 04:09.882 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Debbie Knebel send us pictures of her veggie 04:09.983 --> 04:12.185 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% garden and if you look carefully you'll see that 04:12.285 --> 04:14.387 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% there is wire and she told us that is 04:14.487 --> 04:17.357 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% there to protect the plants from her chickens. 04:17.457 --> 04:18.925 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100% And then we're going to end 04:19.025 --> 04:21.527 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% today with something fun. I feel like we all need 04:21.628 --> 04:24.430 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% something positive and light hearted. This 04:24.530 --> 04:27.467 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% photograph was sent in by Judy Griffin and she 04:27.567 --> 04:30.837 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% found a creative way to reuse old pots. 04:30.937 --> 04:34.307 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% She fashioned them into a person of sorts and she 04:34.407 --> 04:37.410 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% says she calls it the queen of the garden. Dresses her 04:37.510 --> 04:40.413 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% pot person seasonally and she hopes 04:40.513 --> 04:46.085 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that we all remain contagiously positive. <Laughs> 04:46.185 --> 04:49.389 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% That was quite a sculpture that she made 04:49.489 --> 04:52.191 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and I think she put a lot of her heart and 04:52.292 --> 04:53.926 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100% imagination into it, don't you? 04:54.027 --> 04:58.164 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% She sure did. I especially love the pink galoshes. 04:58.264 --> 05:00.300 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Well, Terasa, I think you've got some questions 05:00.400 --> 05:03.236 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% for specialist. We've got two guys with a lot of 05:03.336 --> 05:06.272 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% knowledge on how should we started out? Well there 05:06.372 --> 05:09.409 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% are common themes from our viewers and those 05:09.509 --> 05:12.745 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that call into extension offices. One of those is 05:12.845 --> 05:16.716 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% weeds. Sometimes by the time people call, 05:16.816 --> 05:20.153 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% it's too late really to do much of anything. So if 05:20.253 --> 05:23.956 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% someone asked us, what can I start doing to be 05:24.057 --> 05:28.461 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% proactive in terms of winter weed control? 05:28.561 --> 05:31.798 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% Aha. Adam, I think there are 05:31.898 --> 05:36.502 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% some things that people can do and 05:36.602 --> 05:38.771 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% some, there are different products that we can put 05:38.871 --> 05:41.107 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% out. What's the one that you would start with? 05:41.207 --> 05:43.543 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% What's the best and safest perhaps for your 05:43.643 --> 05:46.312 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% turf and for the environment? 05:46.412 --> 05:50.216 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Yes ma'am. So, when we talk about weed control, Terasa 05:50.316 --> 05:53.019 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% is right that most the time we get 05:53.119 --> 05:55.621 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% calls and they were in March of why are all 05:55.722 --> 05:58.224 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% these weeds in my yard, When the time to think 05:58.324 --> 06:01.794 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% about it is now and those include things 06:01.894 --> 06:05.298 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% like Annual Bluegrass or we also call it Poa. 06:05.398 --> 06:08.434 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Lawn burweed is a very popular one come spring 06:08.534 --> 06:12.538 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% time. So, what we need to do is we can put out some 06:12.638 --> 06:16.109 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% pre emergent herbicides starting at the end of 06:16.209 --> 06:19.312 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% September and going through the middle of 06:19.412 --> 06:22.415 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% October to really help 06:22.515 --> 06:26.953 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% control these weeds and depending on what you've 06:27.053 --> 06:31.023 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% had in the past that will dictate what you use this 06:31.124 --> 06:34.560 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% season. So one of the most common 06:34.660 --> 06:36.829 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% pre emergent herbicides that we use is something 06:36.929 --> 06:40.500 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% called Prodiamine. It's safe on all of our 06:40.600 --> 06:44.537 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% warm season grasses and really controls just 06:44.637 --> 06:47.607 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% about most of all the weeds that we're going to 06:47.707 --> 06:52.578 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% have an issue with throughout the winter. 06:52.678 --> 06:55.515 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Now you would probably want to do this in two 06:55.615 --> 07:00.219 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% applications so read the label obviously and 07:00.319 --> 07:02.455 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% we would do is consequential application. 07:02.555 --> 07:06.058 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% so we would put out about half the amount 07:06.159 --> 07:08.594 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% at the beginning of October and in about six 07:08.694 --> 07:11.664 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% weeks later we would put out that second half 07:11.764 --> 07:15.067 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% because during December and January is when 07:15.168 --> 07:18.571 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% South Carolina typically sees a lot of our rain and wet 07:18.671 --> 07:22.108 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% weather and this rain wet weather can make the pre 07:22.208 --> 07:24.744 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100% emergence not work as well 07:24.844 --> 07:27.547 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% but we really want to try to get the weeds out 07:27.647 --> 07:30.116 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% germinating in October and November and that gives 07:30.216 --> 07:33.853 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% us a really clean landscape come January 07:33.953 --> 07:38.758 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and February. Adam, they talk about grassy weeds 07:38.858 --> 07:42.595 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and broadleaf weeds and can you go into that 07:42.695 --> 07:46.399 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% just a little bit? And are some of the pre emergence 07:46.499 --> 07:49.435 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% directed at one or the other and do some control 07:49.535 --> 07:54.574 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% both? Yes ma'am. So things like Prodiamine will 07:54.674 --> 07:58.211 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% target a large majority of both grassy weeds and 07:58.311 --> 08:01.747 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% broadleaf weeds. The way that these plants grow 08:01.848 --> 08:06.219 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and process sugars allows for different 08:06.319 --> 08:10.122 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% herbicides had different actions so if you're 08:10.223 --> 08:12.992 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% having an issue with a lot of broadleaf weeds 08:13.092 --> 08:16.162 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% specifically again burweed, you would use a product 08:16.262 --> 08:20.766 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% called Gallery. It contains what's called Isoxaben 08:20.867 --> 08:23.536 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% and Isoxaben is gonna stop just about 08:23.636 --> 08:27.840 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% all of your broadleaf weeds from germinating 08:27.940 --> 08:31.644 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% verses if you would use something like Dimension 08:31.744 --> 08:35.781 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% or Pendulum which are 08:35.882 --> 08:38.851 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% Dithiopry and Pendimethalin respectively. 08:38.951 --> 08:42.822 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Those target more of our grassy weeds so if you had 08:42.922 --> 08:47.894 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% issues with Panicums, Annual Bluegrass 08:47.994 --> 08:53.132 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and no actually cover hen bit as well. 08:53.232 --> 08:57.970 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% So we can see a little bit of a divergence and 08:58.070 --> 09:01.007 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% the herbicide you would use. So again you based off of 09:01.107 --> 09:04.043 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% what you've experienced in the past and use that 09:04.143 --> 09:06.712 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% to control what you have. On all the label for 09:06.812 --> 09:08.881 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% these herbicides are gonna tell you what weed 09:08.981 --> 09:12.618 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% they typically see control with, 09:12.718 --> 09:15.354 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% but if you are looking into being more 09:15.454 --> 09:17.657 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% pollinator friendly so you wanna have some of 09:17.757 --> 09:21.427 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% our early or late winner 09:21.527 --> 09:24.830 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% flowers for pollinators. you may want to skip 09:24.931 --> 09:27.066 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% these herbicides. Because they will stop those 09:27.166 --> 09:29.569 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% weeds that you want to come up. They are 09:29.669 --> 09:32.371 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% indiscriminate in what they stop. 09:32.471 --> 09:34.607 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% So you definitely think about what type of 09:34.707 --> 09:37.643 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% landscape you wanna have over winter. 09:37.743 --> 09:40.947 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And again read that label because I believe that 09:41.047 --> 09:43.482 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% they have to be irrigated or water in with a 09:43.583 --> 09:45.451 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% certain amount of water to activate. Is that 09:45.551 --> 09:48.854 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% correct? Yes ma'am so what all these herbicides work 09:48.955 --> 09:52.792 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% is they are absorbed into the soil and they form 09:52.892 --> 09:55.361 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% almost which you could consider a barrier. So 09:55.461 --> 09:58.898 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% when these weed seeds germinate. The seeds will 09:58.998 --> 10:01.233 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% take in some of this herbicide and that's when 10:01.334 --> 10:05.171 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% you start seeing herbicide take into affect but 10:05.271 --> 10:07.840 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% these herbicides when you put them out they need to 10:07.940 --> 10:10.109 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% be irrigated typically with about a quarter of 10:10.209 --> 10:14.113 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% an inch of water just to get them moved into the 10:14.213 --> 10:17.850 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% soil. Adam I have one more question we talked about 10:17.950 --> 10:20.753 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% was with certain fungicides 10:20.853 --> 10:23.322 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% and things like that. That we should use different 10:23.422 --> 10:26.592 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% active ingredients. Is that an issue with these 10:26.692 --> 10:29.028 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% pre emergent herbicides as well or can we just 10:29.128 --> 10:31.931 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% use the same thing year after year? You definitely 10:32.031 --> 10:34.200 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% want to alternate what you're using so 10:34.300 --> 10:36.969 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% herbicides just like fungicides insecticides 10:37.069 --> 10:39.238 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% have different modes of action which means they 10:39.338 --> 10:44.543 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% work in different ways. So on every herbicide 10:44.644 --> 10:47.146 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% label it should have a little number it says 10:47.246 --> 10:50.416 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% what type of group herbicide it is, and what 10:50.516 --> 10:54.320 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that group refers to is how it attacks a plant. So 10:54.420 --> 10:57.890 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% typically with our pre-emergents we have 10:57.990 --> 10:59.859 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100% di-nitro inhibitors and DNA 10:59.959 --> 11:04.597 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% inhibitors which attack the first growth of the 11:04.697 --> 11:08.200 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% plant. So that's things like barricade in the 11:08.300 --> 11:12.571 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% dimension and curb and some of these 11:12.672 --> 11:16.108 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% popular herbicides. So if you use the same 11:16.208 --> 11:18.944 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% herbicide year after year and we see it with a pre 11:19.045 --> 11:21.247 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% emergent and post emergent. You start to see 11:21.347 --> 11:25.584 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% some weeds that were controlled previously in 11:25.685 --> 11:28.054 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% about seven to ten years you can start to see 11:28.154 --> 11:29.588 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% those weeds become resistant to that 11:29.689 --> 11:33.225 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% herbicide. So each year you want to alternate 11:33.325 --> 11:36.996 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that group of herbicides just that we don't see 11:37.096 --> 11:39.265 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% resistance ah show up that we've seen in the 11:39.365 --> 11:41.801 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% past. Adam I've been hearing about pre 11:41.901 --> 11:44.336 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% emergence and actually used some 11:44.437 --> 11:46.105 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% since I've been associated with Clemson and 11:46.205 --> 11:49.175 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% I learned a lot more than I knew about them and I 11:49.275 --> 11:51.610 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% thank you for giving us a complete coverage 11:51.711 --> 11:52.912 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% of the topic today. 11:53.012 --> 11:55.614 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% TJ Savereno is a forestry and natural resources 11:55.715 --> 11:58.551 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% agent and we asked him if there was some things 11:58.651 --> 12:01.454 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that he would like to share with us and he has 12:01.554 --> 12:05.491 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% tried to make a make his home landscape 12:05.591 --> 12:09.228 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% one that is friendly to all sorts of wildlife so 12:09.328 --> 12:15.334 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% let's go and see what's going in his yard. 12:15.434 --> 12:19.338 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100% Hello. This is TJ Savereno. I'm a Forestry and Wildlife 12:19.438 --> 12:21.273 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5% Extension agent with Clemson Cooperative 12:21.373 --> 12:24.076 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100% Extension. And I wanted to talk to you today a 12:24.176 --> 12:26.679 align:left position:25%,start line:0% size:75% little about my backyard here in 12:26.779 --> 12:29.749 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Sardis, South Carolina, in the southern part of 12:29.849 --> 12:32.852 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Florence county and about some of the native plants 12:32.952 --> 12:36.756 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that we have in and around our yard - 12:36.856 --> 12:40.092 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Some of which we planted some of which volunteered 12:40.192 --> 12:43.262 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% some of which continue to pop up, thanks to birds 12:43.362 --> 12:46.198 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and other species that are spreading the seeds. 12:46.298 --> 12:48.934 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% All of these plants have some value to wildlife 12:49.034 --> 12:52.838 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and that's what I want to tell you about today. 12:52.938 --> 12:55.708 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% A blue Jay just flew into the red mulberry tree 12:55.808 --> 12:58.043 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that we planted in the backyard. 12:58.144 --> 13:02.648 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% I suspect that he or she as it may be, was feeding on 13:02.748 --> 13:06.018 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% some of the fruits. Red mulberries are a 13:06.118 --> 13:09.321 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% fast growing native species that produce 13:09.421 --> 13:12.191 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% fruit early in the year. And when it does have 13:12.291 --> 13:15.127 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% fruit on it, you can be sure that it will attract 13:15.227 --> 13:19.265 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% a lot of birds until all the fruit is gone. 13:19.365 --> 13:21.700 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% One of the great plants that occur naturally in 13:21.801 --> 13:24.804 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% our landscape is the black cherry. 13:24.904 --> 13:27.840 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And those fleshy fruits are irresistible to a lot 13:27.940 --> 13:31.076 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% of different birds. We've had a really good 13:31.177 --> 13:33.279 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% crop this year. The weather conditions 13:33.379 --> 13:36.649 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% must've been just perfect at the time flowering and 13:36.749 --> 13:40.286 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% setting fruit. Last year, we hardly had any at all 13:40.386 --> 13:42.454 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% but the birds are going to be filling 13:42.555 --> 13:46.258 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% themselves with their fruits this year. 13:46.358 --> 13:49.495 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Black cherry has a very distinctive bark. 13:49.595 --> 13:52.832 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% It's gray and tight bark when it's young. 13:52.932 --> 13:56.101 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% As it gets older, the bark gets kind of flaky as you 13:56.202 --> 13:58.804 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% can see here. Another plant that volunteers very 13:58.904 --> 14:03.042 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% readily is the winged sumac that you see here. 14:03.142 --> 14:06.812 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% It produces clusters of hard red fruits later on 14:06.912 --> 14:10.216 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% in the year. This plant hasn't 14:10.316 --> 14:13.385 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% flowered yet, but those fruits are persistent 14:13.485 --> 14:16.455 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% once they set. They're dry fruit but 14:16.555 --> 14:19.024 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% still they're appealing to eastern bluebirds and 14:19.124 --> 14:22.127 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% a lot of other songbirds. And they stay on the 14:22.228 --> 14:24.663 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% plant a long time through the winter. 14:24.763 --> 14:27.433 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% So, they're available at a time when not a lot 14:27.533 --> 14:30.736 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% of other sources of food are available. 14:30.836 --> 14:33.239 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% This is one of the brush piles that I've 14:33.339 --> 14:36.909 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% created on the edge of our yard. Brush piles are 14:37.009 --> 14:39.612 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% important for wildlife as a escape cover 14:39.712 --> 14:43.482 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% for species like rabbits, small rodents and 14:43.582 --> 14:47.453 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% sometimes songbirds. This one has got an 14:47.553 --> 14:52.124 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Eastern Red Cedar that you can see, right here 14:52.224 --> 14:55.294 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% coming up. A lot of these brush 14:55.394 --> 14:58.364 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% piles will be the places where you'll see some 14:58.464 --> 15:03.002 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% of the species that I'm talking about get their start. 15:03.102 --> 15:04.470 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% And this is because birds 15:04.570 --> 15:07.573 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% like to use these areas for perches. And since 15:07.673 --> 15:11.143 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% birds like to eat fruits, of course they have to 15:11.243 --> 15:13.779 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% deposit their waste somewhere. 15:13.879 --> 15:16.181 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% So they drop the seeds where they perch along 15:16.282 --> 15:19.451 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% with a nice little pack of fertilizer. And before 15:19.551 --> 15:22.388 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% long, you've got a start of some new plants, 15:22.488 --> 15:25.090 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% whether you intended to have them there or not. 15:25.190 --> 15:27.593 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% One of my favorite native plants, and one that 15:27.693 --> 15:30.663 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the birds love as well is poke weed. 15:30.763 --> 15:34.533 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% It produces small white flowers followed by green 15:34.633 --> 15:37.002 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% berries. And if you're familiar 15:37.102 --> 15:39.138 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% with poke weed, you'll know that later on 15:39.238 --> 15:43.342 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% in the year these green berries will turn into very shiny 15:43.442 --> 15:45.911 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% deep purple berries that the birds will be 15:46.011 --> 15:49.448 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% flocking to. When that happens I'll 15:49.548 --> 15:51.951 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% expect to be seeing mockingbirds, ground 15:52.051 --> 15:56.455 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% thrashers, eastern bluebirds and cardinals 15:56.555 --> 16:00.059 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% come into this plant when the fruits ripen. 16:00.159 --> 16:02.861 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And the thing is that not all the fruit always 16:02.962 --> 16:06.231 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% gets eaten. And the berries after they dry, later in 16:06.332 --> 16:09.168 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the year will continue to drop seeds on the ground, 16:09.268 --> 16:11.370 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% which the morning doves and other birds will 16:11.470 --> 16:14.139 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% be picking up. As you can see this poke weed 16:14.239 --> 16:16.909 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% is growing at the base of a fence line in 16:17.009 --> 16:19.044 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% our yard. And that's because the birds like 16:19.144 --> 16:22.081 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% to sit on these fence lines. And poke weed is one 16:22.181 --> 16:24.049 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% of those plants that will spread through 16:24.149 --> 16:27.619 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% the distribution of seeds by the birds. 16:27.720 --> 16:30.656 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% However, I would like the plants, a lot of people 16:30.756 --> 16:34.126 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% try to get rid of them but I leave it where it grows. 16:34.226 --> 16:36.795 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% I like to see the foliage and fruits. It's a 16:36.895 --> 16:40.099 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% very photogenic plant and because the birds 16:40.199 --> 16:43.035 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% love it so much, I just tend to leave them where 16:43.135 --> 16:45.938 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% they pop up. There are probably a dozen or a 16:46.038 --> 16:49.541 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% dozen and a half species in this garden, 16:49.641 --> 16:53.212 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% including some non native things that sprouted up. 16:53.312 --> 16:55.347 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% But right now, the showcase in this garden 16:55.447 --> 16:59.184 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% is rebecium. And the pollinators are 16:59.284 --> 17:01.820 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% flocking to it. It has a very showy 17:01.920 --> 17:05.257 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% flower. It's a very pretty plant. Also, drought 17:05.357 --> 17:07.826 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% tolerant and does very well in 17:07.926 --> 17:10.763 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% poor soils. But there are other 17:10.863 --> 17:13.599 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% things in this garden that will be blooming at 17:13.699 --> 17:16.035 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% different times throughout the year. 17:16.135 --> 17:18.470 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% So, that's important for pollinators 17:18.570 --> 17:21.006 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that they have a source of nectar and pollen 17:21.106 --> 17:23.809 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% throughout the season. And here we have one of 17:23.909 --> 17:26.345 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% our woody native plants that we've got in 17:26.445 --> 17:29.715 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% our native garden. This is beauty berry 17:29.815 --> 17:32.785 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% cala carpa. And you can see that it's 17:32.885 --> 17:36.522 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% flowering right now. And later on in the year it 17:36.622 --> 17:39.925 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% will have these twirls of fuchsia colored berries 17:40.025 --> 17:43.495 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% around the stem. A lot of people see these 17:43.595 --> 17:46.198 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% on the edges of woods and the fruits are also 17:46.298 --> 17:50.936 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% eaten by songbirds. This is a cluster of 17:51.036 --> 17:54.606 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% purple disk sunflowers. They haven't put up their 17:54.706 --> 17:58.177 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% flowering scape, yet, but when they do later on 17:58.277 --> 18:01.780 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% they will have small sunflower type flowers. 18:01.880 --> 18:04.550 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% And at that time, later in the year, the native 18:04.650 --> 18:07.586 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% pollinators will be swarming to them as well. 18:07.686 --> 18:10.923 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And we shouldn't forget about our native grasses. 18:11.023 --> 18:14.326 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% This is little bluestem, one of several we planted 18:14.426 --> 18:16.728 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% in this garden. And it makes a great 18:16.829 --> 18:19.164 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% alternative to some of the non-native invasive 18:19.264 --> 18:22.401 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% species that have been brought in over the 18:22.501 --> 18:25.304 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% years for landscaping, such as Chinese silver 18:25.404 --> 18:29.108 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% grass from this campus. So, consider using native 18:29.208 --> 18:32.711 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% grasses when you can. They put down a very deep 18:32.811 --> 18:35.447 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% root system, which makes the drought tolerant and 18:35.547 --> 18:40.953 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% they do very well. This plant is a chinquapin, 18:41.053 --> 18:45.257 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% a close relative of our American chestnut. 18:45.357 --> 18:48.861 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% It's in the same genus, castanea and it also 18:48.961 --> 18:51.930 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% produces a fruit similar to a chestnut, except 18:52.030 --> 18:55.567 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% smaller, black, encased in a prickly burr 18:55.667 --> 18:58.804 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% it's almost impossible to get through until it 18:58.904 --> 19:02.107 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% splits open. Once it opens, the 19:02.207 --> 19:04.676 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% wildlife really zone in on it. 19:04.776 --> 19:07.079 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% You can see some of the flowers on this 19:07.179 --> 19:09.615 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% chinquapin that have turned brown 19:09.715 --> 19:13.218 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and hopefully they've already been pollinated. 19:13.318 --> 19:15.554 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Some part of the top inflorescence is still 19:15.654 --> 19:18.924 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% white. Well, thank you for taking 19:19.024 --> 19:22.628 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the time to take a little tour of our yard. I hope 19:22.728 --> 19:25.731 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% you found it informative and enjoyable. 19:25.831 --> 19:27.900 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And remember if you've got any questions about 19:28.000 --> 19:31.537 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% landscaping for wildlife on your property, you can 19:31.637 --> 19:34.640 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% always give us a call at one of the Extension offices. 19:34.740 --> 19:36.875 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% I'm in the Lee County office in Bishopville, 19:36.975 --> 19:39.278 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% I'll be glad to talk with you, any time. 19:39.378 --> 19:41.280 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100% I hope you have a great day. 19:43.482 --> 19:44.449 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% TJ. has a fascinating 19:44.550 --> 19:47.819 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% landscape and I think we should all try to emulate 19:47.920 --> 19:50.222 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% planting things that don't just bring joy to 19:50.322 --> 19:54.326 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% us but also nourish the animals that live 19:54.426 --> 19:56.828 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% around us in the environment. 19:56.929 --> 19:59.631 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Terasa I think that you've got a question that might 19:59.731 --> 20:04.002 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% be a good one for Zack. I sure do. You know certain 20:04.102 --> 20:06.638 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% plants perform better in South Carolina than 20:06.738 --> 20:09.808 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% others. For example, a tomato that I might have 20:09.908 --> 20:13.412 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% really enjoyed growing in my home state of New York might 20:13.512 --> 20:16.181 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% not do so well in the climate here in South 20:16.281 --> 20:19.618 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Carolina. How exactly do we determined the best 20:19.718 --> 20:23.055 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% varieties to grow here? Well goodness. I guess one 20:23.155 --> 20:25.357 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% thing is that we have research stations 20:25.457 --> 20:27.793 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% scattered around the state because we have a 20:27.893 --> 20:31.563 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% lot of different areas of growth here. You know. 20:31.663 --> 20:34.766 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% It varies, the zones and all. Zack, you're down there in 20:34.866 --> 20:38.070 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the coast where things are warmer. 20:38.170 --> 20:41.673 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% You do things with variety trials. And how does 20:41.773 --> 20:44.910 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that reflect and how does that help our farmers? 20:45.010 --> 20:47.713 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% So, you have to do variety trials that are 20:47.813 --> 20:50.582 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% region specific because as Terasa mentioned, 20:50.682 --> 20:54.186 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% certain things do well in certain areas of the state. 20:54.286 --> 20:56.555 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% And they don't do well in 20:56.655 --> 20:58.390 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% other areas of the state even though 20:58.490 --> 21:00.459 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% we're a really small state. Luckily for me, 21:00.559 --> 21:02.928 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% I'm working a lot with the coastal research center. 21:03.028 --> 21:05.631 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% My brother works out there. So, it's a lot easier 21:05.731 --> 21:07.799 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% to get space out there to do research 21:07.899 --> 21:09.701 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% trials now than it used to be. 21:09.801 --> 21:13.171 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% but I work with a lot of industry, a lot of seed 21:13.272 --> 21:16.475 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% companies, doing variety trials on 21:16.575 --> 21:18.610 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the varieties that are, what we call standard 21:18.710 --> 21:20.912 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% varieties, and then some of the varieties that might 21:21.013 --> 21:23.815 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% be you know a little bit different or a little bit 21:23.915 --> 21:26.251 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% more unique or something that may be a chef 21:26.351 --> 21:28.654 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% or someone at a farmers market is looking for. 21:28.754 --> 21:32.024 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% So, I really like to try to stay on top of you 21:32.124 --> 21:34.626 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% know what the industry is putting out well as 21:34.726 --> 21:36.795 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% far as new varieties and colors and tastes 21:36.895 --> 21:39.364 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% and shapes and textures and what not. 21:39.464 --> 21:42.668 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And so it's really cool to have these research 21:42.768 --> 21:46.571 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% plots at the station. This past year, I did a 21:46.672 --> 21:50.742 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% pepper trial. So, peppers are really a cool thing to 21:50.842 --> 21:53.345 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% grow up for farmers, especially you know, 21:53.445 --> 21:56.281 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% this time of year when nothing else other than okra 21:56.381 --> 21:58.617 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% is coming in. And so 21:58.717 --> 22:02.087 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the restaurant's really like peppers. Shishito 22:02.187 --> 22:05.123 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% peppers are a really hot item, right now. And so I 22:05.223 --> 22:07.793 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% tried a couple different varieties of those from a 22:07.893 --> 22:10.829 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% couple of different seed companies. 22:10.929 --> 22:14.199 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And what I do is I grow them out, and I'll share 22:14.299 --> 22:17.369 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% them with the farmers and I'll taste them for myself, 22:17.469 --> 22:19.971 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% but then I also share plants and seeds with the 22:20.072 --> 22:22.607 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% local farmers. And so they get a hands on experience 22:22.708 --> 22:25.410 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% of okay I'm growing this Shishito pepper 22:25.510 --> 22:27.746 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% compared to my old variety. This new variety 22:27.846 --> 22:30.415 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% might be more productive or might yield more. Or it 22:30.515 --> 22:33.652 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% might come in later in the season when nothing 22:33.752 --> 22:36.421 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% else is. And so it really gives them a firsthand 22:36.521 --> 22:38.724 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% chance to try some of these things that I'm 22:38.824 --> 22:42.127 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% trying as well. And so Zack one of the things 22:42.227 --> 22:44.529 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% that I think happens is that in 22:44.629 --> 22:48.066 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% Charleston, where people sometimes are 22:48.166 --> 22:52.371 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% farming on a smaller acreage, they need to grow 22:52.471 --> 22:55.907 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% some of these specialty crops that they can 22:56.007 --> 22:59.544 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% ask a higher price for because of these high end 22:59.644 --> 23:02.047 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% restaurants that are there. And so you can 23:02.147 --> 23:03.982 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% sometimes keep them from making a mistake. 23:04.082 --> 23:06.618 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Perhaps, they thought they might want to grow one thing 23:06.718 --> 23:09.388 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and you said boy I tried that and it just didn't 23:09.488 --> 23:12.190 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% really work much for me. Is that one of the things 23:12.290 --> 23:14.426 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% that comes out of your work sometimes? 23:14.526 --> 23:16.495 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Absolutely! And a good example is you know 23:16.595 --> 23:19.765 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% arugula. We hear a lot of arugula for salads down 23:19.865 --> 23:22.067 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% here in the restaurants. It's a really 23:22.167 --> 23:24.736 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% high price item. But, you know once arugula kind of 23:24.836 --> 23:27.606 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% caught on, everybody started growing the same variety 23:27.706 --> 23:30.242 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% of arugula. So this past year I did a variety 23:30.342 --> 23:32.477 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% trial and I had six different varieties. 23:32.577 --> 23:35.347 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Well, it's all arugula but you know some are a little 23:35.447 --> 23:37.516 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% spicier. Some have a different shape, a different 23:37.616 --> 23:39.918 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% texture, a different crisp. And so you know 23:40.018 --> 23:42.988 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% growing those, seeing that I saw that two varieties 23:43.088 --> 23:46.258 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% just did not do well at all. And so knowing that 23:46.358 --> 23:48.894 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% and having that knowledge, I can pass that along to 23:48.994 --> 23:51.530 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% farmers when they ask. 'Hey! How does this variety of' 23:51.630 --> 23:54.232 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% 'arugula do?' Well, it didn't do that well 23:54.332 --> 23:57.202 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% for us and you know getting creative with it 23:57.302 --> 23:59.971 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% on a small scale, not growing that one variety, 24:00.071 --> 24:02.307 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% but growing maybe four or five different varieties and 24:02.407 --> 24:05.444 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% bagging them together, That way you have a nice mix or 24:05.544 --> 24:08.780 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% something. And so you know really small nuances like 24:08.880 --> 24:11.817 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that. But, the key is to stay ahead of it by 24:11.917 --> 24:14.753 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% trying these new varieties and being aware 24:14.853 --> 24:18.790 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% of them really before they become mainstream. 24:18.890 --> 24:20.625 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% That's interesting because the last time I 24:20.725 --> 24:23.228 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% was in the store they were two bags of arugula 24:23.328 --> 24:26.164 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% and one was regular instead of organic arugula. 24:26.264 --> 24:28.700 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% The other one was wild arugula. 24:28.800 --> 24:30.902 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% I got one of each because I thought well 24:31.002 --> 24:33.438 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% this is fun and I wanted to see what the 24:33.538 --> 24:37.442 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% differences were. So, Zack I know sometimes since 24:37.542 --> 24:41.079 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% you're such a skilful grower that you have 24:41.179 --> 24:45.150 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% some extra produce. And what do you do with that? 24:45.250 --> 24:48.253 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% Well, I like to try the produce myself 24:48.353 --> 24:51.523 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% because you know part of it is what does 24:51.623 --> 24:53.792 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% it taste like? It's not worth anything if it 24:53.892 --> 24:56.361 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% doesn't taste good. So, you know there's only so 24:56.461 --> 24:59.130 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% many peppers or squash or you know salads may have 24:59.231 --> 25:02.367 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% arugula. So, I share with the research station, the 25:02.467 --> 25:05.136 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the people that work out there. And then I'll take 25:05.237 --> 25:08.440 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the leftovers to the local food bank. 25:08.540 --> 25:11.710 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% There's one on James island where I live that I take it to. 25:11.810 --> 25:14.012 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% And they're very grateful for the things 25:14.112 --> 25:16.281 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that you know we're taking them and they 25:16.381 --> 25:18.517 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% can really do a good deed for the public 25:18.617 --> 25:20.352 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% by providing them fresh fruits and 25:20.452 --> 25:22.888 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% vegetables. A lot of times, the food 25:22.988 --> 25:25.190 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% banks, you know, people donate a lot of pantry 25:25.290 --> 25:27.826 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% items. And it's kind of rare that they get fresh 25:27.926 --> 25:30.161 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% local produce that they can give to the people 25:30.262 --> 25:32.697 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% who come there and shop. 25:32.797 --> 25:36.701 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% It's been very rewarding taking produce to them 25:36.801 --> 25:39.037 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and getting to know the people that work there 25:39.137 --> 25:41.439 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and the people that visit regularly. I would 25:41.540 --> 25:43.508 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% encourage anybody you don't think you have 25:43.608 --> 25:46.411 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% to have a farm or a hundred acres to 25:46.511 --> 25:49.381 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% grow food for a food bank. A lot of the churches, the 25:49.481 --> 25:52.551 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% local crisis ministries, they're really small 25:52.651 --> 25:55.587 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% operations. So, they might need smaller 25:55.687 --> 25:57.789 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% volumes. And so that's what's been nice about 25:57.889 --> 26:00.692 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% working with the one on James Island is you know 26:00.792 --> 26:02.160 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% they don't need truckloads of stuff. 26:02.260 --> 26:05.363 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% They need you know half a bag of this, half a bag of 26:05.463 --> 26:08.033 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that. And so it's been nice being able to take 26:08.133 --> 26:11.236 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% stuff to them each week. Well, Zack I loved hearing 26:11.336 --> 26:13.405 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% about what you're doing. It sounds like you're 26:13.505 --> 26:16.141 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% finding ways to help a multitude of people and 26:16.241 --> 26:18.810 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% we thank you for all of the good service to the 26:18.910 --> 26:23.081 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% State of South Carolina. Thank you. Amy Dabbs is the 26:23.181 --> 26:26.251 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% coordinator for the school and community gardening 26:26.351 --> 26:29.988 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% program that goes on. And goodness gracious. 26:30.088 --> 26:31.990 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% She just needs 95 different hats because 26:32.090 --> 26:35.527 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% this is a very complex but wonderful program. 26:35.627 --> 26:38.597 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Because we are ensuring that we will raise a new 26:38.697 --> 26:41.333 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% generation of people interested in gardening 26:41.433 --> 27:01.019 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and in fresh produce in South Carolina. 27:01.119 --> 27:04.189 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% I speaking with Amy Dabbs. Amy and I met when she 27:04.289 --> 27:08.326 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% was a horticulture agent and I was too. We both 27:08.426 --> 27:10.629 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% are doing different things now. Tell us about your 27:10.729 --> 27:13.498 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% new job and why it brings such joy to your 27:13.598 --> 27:16.635 align:left position:37.5%,start line:0% size:62.5% life. Thanks Amanda. 27:16.735 --> 27:19.037 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100% So I am still doing horticulture work but I'm 27:19.137 --> 27:21.406 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5% now statewide and I'm coordinating school and 27:21.506 --> 27:24.976 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5% community gardening. 27:25.076 --> 27:27.679 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% I can remember when they would always be a teacher 27:27.779 --> 27:30.081 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% who would call the extension office 27:30.181 --> 27:32.917 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and want to start a garden and it is usually 27:33.018 --> 27:35.720 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% one person and they would it be too big and they 27:35.820 --> 27:38.823 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% would get you know worn out. And it just seemed 27:38.923 --> 27:41.493 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% like and then that person would leave and then they 27:41.593 --> 27:44.396 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% have this place that was full of weeds. 27:44.496 --> 27:47.365 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And is that kind of what led to the need to have 27:47.465 --> 27:49.734 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% kind of a framework and some guidance for these 27:49.834 --> 27:54.272 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% teachers? It absolutely did. One Spring, many 27:54.372 --> 27:57.509 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% years ago, we had a little water cooler conversation 27:57.609 --> 27:59.978 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and several agents down in the Charleston office 28:00.078 --> 28:03.081 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and I we counted up at least just our memory 28:03.181 --> 28:06.785 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% between us 40 to 50 calls that we had 28:06.885 --> 28:09.721 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% gotten in the last you know six months about 28:09.821 --> 28:12.691 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% teachers wanting to garden and really not knowing 28:12.791 --> 28:16.394 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% where to start. And you're right. It often 28:16.494 --> 28:18.997 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% starts with kind of a really big idea with a 28:19.097 --> 28:21.433 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% little you know maybe a little out lack of 28:21.533 --> 28:24.302 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% knowledge or you know sort of a lack of 28:24.402 --> 28:27.072 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% confidence about how to get started 28:27.172 --> 28:29.774 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% with a vegetable garden for students to 28:29.874 --> 28:32.610 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% grow their own food in. So, yeah we were 28:32.711 --> 28:37.649 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% able through some initial funding from 28:37.749 --> 28:39.984 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Boeing South Carolina in partnership with the College of 28:40.085 --> 28:42.220 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% Charleston. Back in 2012, we 28:42.320 --> 28:44.622 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% were able to start a school gardening for 28:44.723 --> 28:48.059 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% South Carolina educators program. And it kind of 28:48.159 --> 28:50.462 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% pulled some of the best elements as you mentioned 28:50.562 --> 28:52.964 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% from the master gardener program. You know we just 28:53.064 --> 28:56.034 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% moved the course online back then. And so that was 28:56.134 --> 28:59.104 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100% sort of fresh in our mind. 28:59.204 --> 29:01.539 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% You know, most teachers are very busy people. 29:01.639 --> 29:04.542 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% They have a lot on their plate. And we really wanted to 29:04.642 --> 29:07.345 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% just break it down for them 29:07.445 --> 29:09.647 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% where they could garden successfully with their 29:09.748 --> 29:13.985 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% students with as little guesswork as possible. 29:14.085 --> 29:17.155 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% That was the main the main goal. So, that's how 29:17.255 --> 29:20.225 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100% we did it. Amy, you first had to 29:20.325 --> 29:23.061 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% come up with the curriculum that would fit 29:23.161 --> 29:26.264 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% school standards and also incorporate the 29:26.364 --> 29:28.967 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% horticultural basics so that they could be 29:29.067 --> 29:32.704 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% successful. So, how did y'all meld those two needs? 29:32.804 --> 29:36.908 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Well, it sort of all came together. Fortunately, 29:37.008 --> 29:38.810 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Zack Snipes, on our commercial horticulture 29:38.910 --> 29:42.580 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% team and I worked together on some seasonal planting 29:42.680 --> 29:44.649 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% guides and calendars that are more like the 29:44.749 --> 29:47.385 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% technical guides. Teachers sign up for the 29:47.485 --> 29:50.188 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% online course. They get two books. They get a 29:50.288 --> 29:52.290 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% seasonal planting guide and calendar 29:52.390 --> 29:55.560 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% and then they get a curriculum. It's a K 29:55.660 --> 29:58.963 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% through eight curriculum, called Stem in the Garden. 29:59.063 --> 30:01.533 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% It is aligned to South Carolina state teaching 30:01.633 --> 30:04.002 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% standards for grades kindergarten through 30:04.102 --> 30:07.539 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% eighth grade, although it has been 30:07.639 --> 30:09.741 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% utilized by teachers and other grades who've been 30:09.841 --> 30:12.677 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% able to kind of make it fit for older kids or younger 30:12.777 --> 30:15.113 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% kids. You know if they are trying to work something 30:15.213 --> 30:18.783 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% in. And so far the response has been amazing. 30:18.883 --> 30:21.085 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% So, the cost of the class is $25 30:21.186 --> 30:24.022 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% per one teacher. And they get both 30:24.122 --> 30:27.225 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% books, the planting guide and the curriculum. What we 30:27.325 --> 30:30.295 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% really prefer however is a group or team of three 30:30.395 --> 30:33.097 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% teachers to take the course. We want to build 30:33.198 --> 30:35.466 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% sustainability into a school garden from the 30:35.567 --> 30:38.036 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% beginning. They take it online and then have 30:38.136 --> 30:40.972 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% some hands on instruction and 30:41.072 --> 30:43.508 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% how long does it take. Can they usually 30:43.608 --> 30:47.679 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% fit it in their schedule? Exactly yes! 30:47.779 --> 30:51.149 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% It's a five week class. It is asynchronous, self paced, 30:51.249 --> 30:54.285 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% so modules open every week. And each week we hit 30:54.385 --> 30:57.422 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% a different topic. Teachers or educators 30:57.522 --> 31:00.592 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% who are in the course, will do a reading, watch a 31:00.692 --> 31:04.262 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% video, answer discussion 31:04.362 --> 31:06.698 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% questions, maybe do something at the 31:06.798 --> 31:09.400 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% school, like complete checklist that we have in 31:09.500 --> 31:12.036 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% the workbook that they can go through and make sure 31:12.136 --> 31:14.572 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% they sort of thought through the process. And then we 31:14.672 --> 31:16.841 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% culminate with an in- person training. And this 31:16.941 --> 31:19.677 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% is almost a day long workshop. 31:19.777 --> 31:22.947 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% So much fun. It's really a confidence 31:23.047 --> 31:27.085 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% builder. It's a great time. We get together and we 31:27.185 --> 31:30.054 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% love to see the faces of these teachers that we 31:30.154 --> 31:32.724 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% only seen online for five weeks. But, I 31:32.824 --> 31:34.993 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% think what it does is it gives everybody the 31:35.093 --> 31:37.195 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% clear understanding that Clemson Extension is 31:37.295 --> 31:39.497 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% there for them. There are so many resources 31:39.597 --> 31:42.300 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% available to school learners across the state, 31:42.400 --> 31:46.037 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% not just within our organization. We often 31:46.137 --> 31:48.206 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% have guest speakers from different groups around 31:48.306 --> 31:50.909 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the state, South Carolina Farm Bureau, Ag in the 31:51.009 --> 31:53.544 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% Classroom, their wonderful coordinator 31:53.645 --> 31:56.648 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% Ms. Kelly is a frequent guest speaker 31:56.748 --> 31:59.350 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% because teachers love to incorporate reading into 31:59.450 --> 32:01.486 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% their school learning curriculum. She's got so 32:01.586 --> 32:06.691 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% many agriculturally accurate books that works so well 32:06.791 --> 32:11.129 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% with school garden topics. We also invite Ben Sease 32:11.229 --> 32:13.731 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% from the South Carolina Farm to School program. 32:13.831 --> 32:16.567 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% He's with the Office of School Nutrition. 32:16.668 --> 32:19.170 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% He comes and talks about grant opportunities 32:19.270 --> 32:21.072 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% across the state and beyond, even 32:21.172 --> 32:23.207 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% larger these bigger regional grants that are 32:23.308 --> 32:27.445 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% available. And we just you know the 4-H team is 32:27.545 --> 32:30.114 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% always in attendance. Sumter is always a 4-H 32:30.214 --> 32:32.583 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Extension Agent at one of our workshops to really 32:32.684 --> 32:35.687 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% help teachers understand that one: 32:35.787 --> 32:37.322 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% there are so many resources available. 32:37.422 --> 32:40.858 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% And two: to model some of the curriculum. 32:40.959 --> 32:43.094 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% We actually will bring worms from our work 32:43.194 --> 32:45.964 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% compost bin and that's a big part of our 32:46.064 --> 32:48.399 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% curriculum is we really want to teach those 32:48.499 --> 32:51.436 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% cycles of life within and without of the 32:51.536 --> 32:54.072 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% garden, the connections. Teachers have such a hard 32:54.172 --> 32:56.140 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% time even getting paper towels sometimes with 32:56.240 --> 33:00.378 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% the classroom. And I think you all have assembled a new 33:00.478 --> 33:06.017 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% really remarkably foolproof system. 33:06.117 --> 33:08.920 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% I believe that you can deliver kind 33:09.020 --> 33:11.990 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% of a train of raised beds to fit together. 33:12.090 --> 33:14.425 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% You don't even need a screwdriver. And then a 33:14.525 --> 33:18.997 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% remarkable assembly of the products to fill this 33:19.097 --> 33:23.167 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% bed with. And you even teach lasagna gardening. 33:23.267 --> 33:26.571 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% So, let's talk a little bit about how these boxes 33:26.671 --> 33:29.040 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% fit together and then what all you provide to 33:29.140 --> 33:32.076 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% school in mid months and all that. 33:32.176 --> 33:34.879 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And then the lasagna gardening aspect of it, 33:34.979 --> 33:38.683 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% which is just a wonderful way to garden. Thank you. 33:38.783 --> 33:41.486 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% This has been really one of the biggest obstacles 33:41.586 --> 33:44.055 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% as you mentioned, sourcing material. 33:44.155 --> 33:47.091 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% A lot of times educators or even school district will 33:47.191 --> 33:50.495 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% get grants. But finding the time to research the 33:50.595 --> 33:53.297 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% right materials, get them ordered in and 33:53.398 --> 33:55.933 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% have them delivered to school or obtained for the 33:56.034 --> 33:57.635 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% school can be just so time consuming. 33:57.735 --> 34:00.371 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% We thought you know one of the things we can do 34:00.471 --> 34:02.573 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% since we're out in the county you know during 34:02.673 --> 34:06.811 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the work, we can put together a kit that is 34:06.911 --> 34:10.982 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% like you said very simple. We have raised beds there 34:11.082 --> 34:13.451 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% for raised beds that fit together in the end to 34:13.551 --> 34:17.488 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% make a sixteen foot long bed. And within those four 34:17.588 --> 34:19.724 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% beds the crops that are planted in them are 34:19.824 --> 34:23.027 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% rotated and so that we can have as 34:23.127 --> 34:25.930 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% successful a garden as we can. 34:26.030 --> 34:29.067 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% It includes all the fill. And as you mentioned, we do 34:29.167 --> 34:33.104 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% teach lasagna gardening, or sheet composting. 34:33.204 --> 34:34.972 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% This is so fascinating because we're basically 34:35.073 --> 34:37.508 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% teaching kids how to make their own soil and they 34:37.608 --> 34:40.311 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% gets to you even save food scraps to put in the 34:40.411 --> 34:43.047 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% layer to show how we can recycle nutrients things 34:43.147 --> 34:45.483 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that would normally go to the landfill can become 34:45.583 --> 34:48.619 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% part of the food system and they are participating in. 34:48.719 --> 34:52.123 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% So it has just been very 34:52.223 --> 34:54.692 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% enlightening. A lot of the teachers say 'I never thought' 34:54.792 --> 34:57.095 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% 'about this as being a way to garden. 34:57.195 --> 34:59.363 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% So then they'll go back into their own homes, 34:59.464 --> 35:01.732 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% which as an extension agent that reach 35:01.833 --> 35:04.435 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% is just, it's incredible when somebody takes 35:04.535 --> 35:06.204 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% something you teach that in one moment 35:06.304 --> 35:09.474 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% and applies it down the line. That is exciting. 35:09.574 --> 35:12.877 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% With the planting guides, y'all even source 35:12.977 --> 35:16.581 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the transplants and have them delivered to the 35:16.681 --> 35:19.584 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% school at the appropriate time of year I believe. Yes. 35:19.684 --> 35:22.954 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% we have two amazing groups that 35:23.054 --> 35:26.724 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% we work with. We work with botanical interest seeds 35:26.824 --> 35:29.026 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and Bonnie plants. And they're just so generous 35:29.127 --> 35:33.064 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% to donate materials to our school garden program. 35:33.164 --> 35:36.334 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% We pull out all the seeds that the teacher or the school 35:36.434 --> 35:38.903 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% garden will need and we send those for the entire 35:39.003 --> 35:42.573 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% year in one package.

Do they go to the cafeteria? 37:11.596 --> 37:13.965 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Did the children take them home? 37:14.065 --> 37:16.968 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Does it depends from school to school? Yes to all 37:17.068 --> 37:21.138 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% of that. We have examples of all of that and more. A 37:21.239 --> 37:23.708 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% lot of schools will use some of the produce in 37:23.808 --> 37:26.978 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the cafeteria. They do taste tests, especially 37:27.078 --> 37:29.313 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% with the younger kids. They do the yum, yuck 37:29.413 --> 37:32.049 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% test where they do smiley faces on the 37:32.149 --> 37:34.986 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% grass or a frowny face if they don't like it. 37:35.086 --> 37:37.255 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% But it's been it's been exciting to see kids 37:37.355 --> 37:39.290 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% try something that they grown. Maybe something that 37:39.390 --> 37:43.628 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% they wouldn't normally eat like kale or 37:43.728 --> 37:46.430 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% you know radishes or things like that. 37:46.530 --> 37:48.733 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% That is exciting. Amy, you 37:48.833 --> 37:52.103 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% started this when you were at the Botanical 37:52.203 --> 37:54.905 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Garden. You've been working with children and 37:55.006 --> 37:58.976 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100% gardening for a long time. 37:59.076 --> 38:01.812 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% I know it really is an important part of your 38:01.912 --> 38:04.715 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% soul and your consciousness. 38:04.815 --> 38:08.686 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% What do you hope twenty years from now 38:08.786 --> 38:10.721 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% some of these children who participated? 38:10.821 --> 38:14.525 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100% What's your dream for them, Amy? 38:14.625 --> 38:17.895 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Well, my dream for them is that they will enjoy 38:17.995 --> 38:21.499 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% learning as much as you and I do. And all the people 38:21.599 --> 38:24.135 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that we around all the time. I mean we we're 38:24.235 --> 38:26.203 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% around a bunch of gardening nerds all the 38:26.304 --> 38:28.806 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% time. All we talk about is plants. 38:28.906 --> 38:31.776 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% But on a bigger scale really you know the horticulture 38:31.876 --> 38:35.246 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and agriculture industry is aging. We're not able 38:35.346 --> 38:38.115 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% to fill all the jobs that are out there, which is 38:38.215 --> 38:39.884 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% shame. Because you know that does are 38:39.984 --> 38:43.254 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% some really good jobs. They're very fulfilling. People who are 38:43.354 --> 38:45.623 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% in this industry always have jobs. We always have 38:45.723 --> 38:48.693 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% work. It maybe back-breaking some days and 38:48.793 --> 38:52.129 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% hot. But, usually it's very rewarding and can be 38:52.229 --> 38:54.732 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% quite lucrative depending on what you know you're 38:54.832 --> 38:57.034 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% not doing. So, I really just want kids to 38:57.134 --> 38:59.837 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% understand that there are opportunities out there. 38:59.937 --> 39:02.273 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And I think that starts with you know planting 39:02.373 --> 39:05.810 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% a seed and really being overtaken by that moment 39:05.910 --> 39:08.913 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% of awe where you realize that seed equates to that 39:09.013 --> 39:11.048 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% rainbow carrot. You know that you did 39:11.148 --> 39:13.351 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that and you can do it for yourself. 39:13.451 --> 39:15.886 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% You know it's very empowering to be able to grow 39:15.986 --> 39:17.722 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% your own food and particularly for our 39:17.822 --> 39:20.424 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% students across the state and beyond who maybe are 39:20.524 --> 39:23.260 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% not in control of their day to day circumstances. 39:23.361 --> 39:26.497 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% You know, maybe there's not always food 39:26.597 --> 39:28.632 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% ready. I mean how incredible would that be 39:28.733 --> 39:31.001 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% to be able to go home and grow food. 39:31.102 --> 39:33.237 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Just like the teachers are doing. They're taking 39:33.337 --> 39:35.639 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% these lessons home. They're gardening for their 39:35.740 --> 39:38.075 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% own families and we hope that the kids will start 39:38.175 --> 39:42.580 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% to do the same thing. So we are huge I think a 39:42.680 --> 39:44.348 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% huge interest in gardening in particularly 39:44.448 --> 39:47.017 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% right now. You know people are really responding to, 39:47.118 --> 39:50.921 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% you know, pressures and you know stressors in 39:51.021 --> 39:55.226 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% the world by gardening.

So, I really love those 42:46.530 --> 42:50.234 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% plants. I planted them. I plant three in my yard in 42:50.334 --> 42:53.904 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% the past year. And the nice thing I like 42:54.004 --> 42:57.174 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% about this is, you've got varieties that can stay 42:57.274 --> 43:00.911 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% four to six feet tall or you can get some of these 43:01.011 --> 43:04.448 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% larger varieties that look more like a tree. 43:04.548 --> 43:07.818 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And they are resistant to most of the pests 43:07.918 --> 43:11.522 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that some of our other landscape trees can find. 43:11.622 --> 43:15.092 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% So they're resistant to our weather, 43:15.192 --> 43:19.663 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% resistant to our pests. For a plant that you 43:19.763 --> 43:23.067 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% want to be able to smell, it's just a all out 43:23.167 --> 43:25.803 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% winner. Plus, you can get different colors of 43:25.903 --> 43:29.473 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% flowers. With us being Clemson 43:29.573 --> 43:31.742 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% there are orange flowers, but typically what you 43:31.842 --> 43:34.712 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% see are the creams to a white color. 43:34.812 --> 43:36.880 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Really it's the smell that just hits you. 43:36.981 --> 43:39.650 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% It's almost like having a gardenia in October. They 43:39.750 --> 43:43.954 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% are incredibly fragrant. But it's funny, Adam. 43:44.054 --> 43:46.624 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Sometimes, the ones that are close to my house and 43:46.724 --> 43:49.426 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% I planted some big ones. And I planted them too close. 43:49.526 --> 43:51.996 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% I'm going to remind people to be sure that they've 43:52.096 --> 43:54.765 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% got one of the old fashioned ones to give it room. 43:54.865 --> 43:57.334 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% Sometimes it's just dramatically 43:57.434 --> 43:59.637 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% fragrant and then one day it's like it's just 43:59.737 --> 44:02.840 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% decided to put a stop on the bottle for a day or 44:02.940 --> 44:05.776 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% two. Have you ever noticed that? Yes ma'am. If only 44:05.876 --> 44:08.245 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% I could just keep it going all year long. 44:08.345 --> 44:10.648 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% They have a beautiful evergreen foliage too, 44:10.748 --> 44:13.517 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% which is another plus. Don't you think? Yes ma'am. 44:13.617 --> 44:18.856 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% So they can be used as a hedge, 44:18.956 --> 44:22.026 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% general border. Some varieties actually hold 44:22.126 --> 44:25.429 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% up to pruning very well for that. The varieties I put 44:25.529 --> 44:28.065 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% in, their natural shape makes it where I 44:28.165 --> 44:30.834 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% don't have to prune it very often. 44:30.934 --> 44:33.804 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% If I want to I can prune them 44:33.904 --> 44:37.775 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% in late Winter, early Spring, because they 44:37.875 --> 44:42.012 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% flower on the new growth that they have 44:42.112 --> 44:45.349 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% once it gets to the Fall. Well, it just sounds like 44:45.449 --> 44:48.652 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% an ideal flowering plant, all those small 44:48.752 --> 44:50.954 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% flowers. And I hope everybody will install one there. 44:51.055 --> 44:52.956 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% We want to thank you so much for 44:53.057 --> 44:54.425 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% sharing that information with us. 44:55.826 --> 44:59.997 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Well, if you think that a pail and a three 45:00.097 --> 45:03.167 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% legged stool is how the milk comes out of the 45:03.267 --> 45:06.370 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% cow that ends up in your local dairy, I've got 45:06.470 --> 45:09.239 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% some news for you. 45:09.339 --> 45:11.241 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% If we go to Lemaster Dairy Farm 45:11.341 --> 45:15.846 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% at Clemson, it was the most amazing experience I've 45:15.946 --> 45:18.449 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% had in many, many years. 45:20.651 --> 45:33.597 align:left position:50%,start line:93.33% size:50% ♪ 45:33.697 --> 45:35.933 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100% We're at the Lemaster Dairy Farm 45:36.033 --> 45:39.036 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% at Clemson University. I'm speaking to Steve 45:39.136 --> 45:41.672 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Wagner who's the manager of the dairy herd. 45:41.772 --> 45:44.541 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Steve, thank you so much. And this has been one 45:44.641 --> 45:47.010 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% of the most remarkable tours, I've ever had. 45:47.111 --> 45:50.080 align:left position:25%,start line:0% size:75% Talk about what y'all did 45:50.180 --> 45:52.649 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5% with this cutting edge facility, 45:52.750 --> 45:55.018 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5% the things that are incorporated into it, please. 45:55.119 --> 45:57.554 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5% We started looking at this about five or six years 45:57.654 --> 46:00.224 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100% ago as far as we were gonna have to do something. 46:00.324 --> 46:02.659 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% The old facilities were at a point that they were 46:02.760 --> 46:05.462 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% basically wore out and we were going to need to do 46:05.562 --> 46:08.232 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% something. So, we hired some people who are very 46:08.332 --> 46:10.367 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% knowledgeable at what they do. And how they 46:10.467 --> 46:13.003 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% designed these facilities. But we looked at these 46:13.103 --> 46:16.340 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% facility incorporated robotics into it as a 46:16.440 --> 46:18.942 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% cutting edge thing. that is coming on now to 46:19.042 --> 46:22.713 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% benefit labor, health and all of the 46:22.813 --> 46:25.916 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% issues that we deal with on a day to day basis. 46:26.016 --> 46:29.219 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% This has been designed for the comfort and 46:29.319 --> 46:32.389 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% health of the cow. And so the design of the 46:32.489 --> 46:34.925 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% building is quite unusual compared to what we're used 46:35.025 --> 46:38.095 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% to seeing. It seems very open and airy. Yeah, what 46:38.195 --> 46:40.063 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% we're seeing nowadays with the design of 46:40.164 --> 46:43.433 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% these new dairy facilities is cow comfort. And what we're 46:43.534 --> 46:46.637 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% finding out these high eaves, high roofs draw 46:46.737 --> 46:49.373 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% natural ventilation. We actually put this dairy up on 46:49.473 --> 46:52.209 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% this hillside you know with the west east 46:52.309 --> 46:54.611 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% would draw the natural ventilation in the air 46:54.711 --> 46:57.114 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% through. And you can tell a big difference 46:57.214 --> 46:59.449 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% especially in the Summer time with the 46:59.550 --> 47:02.753 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% fans and sprinkler systems, we have to cool the cows. 47:02.853 --> 47:05.489 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% And you even have apparently, they enjoy the 47:05.589 --> 47:08.425 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% tactile sensation of having a brush their back 47:08.525 --> 47:11.128 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% scratched. And I have the cow brushes down there for 47:11.228 --> 47:13.530 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% their comfort as well. And you know you'll see 47:13.630 --> 47:17.301 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% cows fighting over it, sometimes. They like 47:17.401 --> 47:20.938 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% those also. And they are working hard making milk 47:21.038 --> 47:23.941 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and they do occasionally like to lie down. So, you 47:24.041 --> 47:27.477 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% have an unusual bedding system for them. We use sand 47:27.578 --> 47:30.914 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% recycle bed, sand bedding to keep cows comfortable. 47:31.014 --> 47:33.884 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% So, the cows are either laying down, producing milk 47:33.984 --> 47:36.687 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% or eating. That's what your goals are to have the cows 47:36.787 --> 47:39.990 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% back in a comfortable position to make milk. 47:40.090 --> 47:43.627 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% The bedding is designed so that the rear end of 47:43.727 --> 47:47.097 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the cow it's kind of hanging out over a 47:47.197 --> 47:51.668 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% gully. And that allows the solid waste to generally 47:51.768 --> 47:55.239 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% land in that gully. And I believe you're using 47:55.339 --> 47:57.674 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% people aren't having to go out there to push brooms. 47:57.774 --> 48:00.911 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% You're using water flow to flush that? Yes we're 48:01.011 --> 48:04.181 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% recycling water from a lagoon to basically flush 48:04.281 --> 48:07.284 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% away all the solid materials and sand. 48:07.384 --> 48:09.753 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% The sand is settling out and we're re-claiming that 48:09.853 --> 48:12.723 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% sand through a wash system. They cow stalls are 48:12.823 --> 48:14.958 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% designed for those cows to be kind of sticking 48:15.058 --> 48:17.327 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% out into the alley way, so that manure 48:17.427 --> 48:20.364 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% naturally falls in the alleyway to be flushed and not 48:20.464 --> 48:23.867 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% landing in the beds for them to relay. But the cows 48:23.967 --> 48:27.404 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% have first of all, I think they've got 48:27.504 --> 48:30.340 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% one of those, what do people call them the spit bits? 48:30.440 --> 48:32.843 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% It's kind of a cow fit bit, but it's actually 48:32.943 --> 48:36.113 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% called a pedometer, where it measures their steps, 48:36.213 --> 48:38.715 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% which helps us with re-probe issues. And also it 48:38.815 --> 48:41.551 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% can - be a little sick or 48:41.652 --> 48:44.187 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% offbeat or where they're not moving as much. 48:44.288 --> 48:46.523 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% They're not making as much effort to 48:46.623 --> 48:49.192 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% get to the food or milk products. So you could see 48:49.293 --> 48:52.596 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% that too. Since there is a gateway into the robotic 48:52.696 --> 48:55.732 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% milking machine, I believe that's 48:55.832 --> 48:58.035 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% controlled by an electronic device in your 48:58.135 --> 49:00.537 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% ear. Can you explain that to us, please? Yeah the 49:00.637 --> 49:02.906 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% RFID tag in the ear controls pretty much 49:03.006 --> 49:06.310 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% everything the cow does. When she hits the entry gate, 49:06.410 --> 49:08.912 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% it picks up her information sends it 49:09.012 --> 49:12.149 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% in the computer. Robotics are all tied to the computer. 49:12.249 --> 49:14.818 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Once she gets determination, she's ready to be 49:14.918 --> 49:18.588 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% milked. She's put into the robot. 49:18.689 --> 49:21.525 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Once she enters the robot, it picks up that tag again 49:21.625 --> 49:25.028 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and tells the robot how much your expected 49:25.128 --> 49:28.432 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% production should be on each quart. How do you - 49:28.532 --> 49:31.902 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% how does the milk get out of the cow? 49:32.002 --> 49:34.171 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Basically, by the milking machines. Explain that. 49:34.271 --> 49:36.773 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% They're set up on a vacuum thing whereas 49:36.873 --> 49:40.110 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% their on and off like a 60- 40 ratio. It's just 49:40.210 --> 49:42.646 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% like just like you're milking a cow by hand. 49:42.746 --> 49:45.882 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% That control is the same control that's in 49:45.983 --> 49:49.152 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% that cup milks that quart from the cow. 49:49.252 --> 49:53.290 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% They're washed and various things in between. And you 49:53.390 --> 49:56.526 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% said that this is an improvement over the 49:56.626 --> 50:00.497 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% older machines where every teet was 50:00.597 --> 50:04.568 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% stripped and treated as if they were all for the same or 50:04.668 --> 50:08.071 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% actually each one has a different supply of milk. 50:08.171 --> 50:09.973 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Right each quart gives a different amount. 50:10.073 --> 50:12.642 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% You can say all that information in the robot 50:12.743 --> 50:15.512 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% computer. And like I say, this is a better - we 50:15.612 --> 50:18.448 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% think is going to be better for health issues because 50:18.548 --> 50:21.818 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% of cows not be over- milked. With the old 50:21.918 --> 50:25.655 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% system, you put all four on and stayed on all four till they 50:25.756 --> 50:28.625 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% come off, whereas now they come off individually as the cow 50:28.725 --> 50:32.629 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% finishes milking that quarter. This also lets you see as the 50:32.729 --> 50:36.900 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% milk production hits it's apex. And then begin to decline 50:37.000 --> 50:38.902 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% and that's a symbol and 50:39.002 --> 50:40.971 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% indicates to you when they would be inseminated 50:41.071 --> 50:43.807 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% and when they would be put back into the pasture and 50:43.907 --> 50:45.842 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% dried out for a while. Right. Everything is 50:45.942 --> 50:48.912 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% tracked through the computer that's hooked to the robot. 50:49.012 --> 50:51.748 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Every cow that comes through is milked every quarter and it 50:51.848 --> 50:54.151 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% actually tracks setting. It'll put out a 50:54.251 --> 50:57.921 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% graph showing you what the lactation is doing. 50:58.021 --> 51:00.023 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Y'all have a very large holding tank. Is that 51:00.123 --> 51:01.658 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% where the milk is stored? 51:01.758 --> 51:04.661 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% How often does the truck have to come? And where's it 51:04.761 --> 51:06.830 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% going? The trucks pick up every three days. 51:06.930 --> 51:08.565 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% South Carolina allows a three day 51:08.665 --> 51:11.134 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% pick up. It's actually picked up here and goes 51:11.234 --> 51:14.771 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% off to be marketed, wherever it needs to go. 51:14.871 --> 51:18.041 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% They actually test every tanker, goes in with antibiotics 51:18.141 --> 51:20.744 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% and stuff like that. So it's a real stringent cleaning 51:20.844 --> 51:23.480 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% before it leaves here. Even coming from such a 51:23.580 --> 51:26.083 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% facility, there are always safeguards in place to 51:26.183 --> 51:28.351 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% protect the public. Right. You still have green 51:28.452 --> 51:31.988 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% pastures with cows in them. And who are the cows that are out of 51:32.089 --> 51:34.524 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the green pastures? All the cows in the outside 51:34.624 --> 51:37.627 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% pastures now are the young stock that's coming in 51:37.727 --> 51:39.996 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% to replace these cows. We hope they'll have better 51:40.097 --> 51:43.233 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% genetics in the next generation of animals coming out. 51:43.333 --> 51:46.403 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Also our dry cows, once they get a little rest period 51:46.503 --> 51:48.438 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% before coming back in production, they're turned to 51:48.538 --> 51:49.973 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100% pastures. So, the ones that are 51:50.073 --> 51:54.044 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% inside are being actively milked. Cows under this 51:54.144 --> 51:57.848 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% facility are being milked here. And they are under a 51:57.948 --> 52:00.717 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% watchful eye. While I've been here, 52:00.817 --> 52:03.386 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% you've taken out your phone and looked at it several times. 52:03.487 --> 52:06.389 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% You told me that at home there are several people who 52:06.490 --> 52:08.391 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% receive alerts in case anything does go wrong. 52:08.492 --> 52:12.095 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% This is the most incredibly monitored cow 52:12.195 --> 52:14.898 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% comfort and health facility that exists in 52:14.998 --> 52:18.435 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the in the country today. I'm happy to say that our 52:18.535 --> 52:22.973 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% our staff is really proud of what they do and what they 52:23.073 --> 52:25.442 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% watch. Of course, we're monitored by animal 52:25.542 --> 52:27.777 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% stuff on campus too. So, you know, we have 52:27.878 --> 52:30.413 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% to be accountable for stuff. And this system we 52:30.514 --> 52:33.884 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% can really keep a closer eye on the cows than we have 52:33.984 --> 52:37.354 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% before. And as we move into the future, we know that the 52:37.454 --> 52:39.823 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% successful farmers are the ones who are going to 52:39.923 --> 52:43.093 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% embrace technology and we want to make certain that 52:43.193 --> 52:45.428 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% all the areas of agriculture in South Carolina can 52:45.529 --> 52:48.632 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% remain strong and healthy. This is an example of how 52:48.732 --> 52:51.434 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% dairy can continue for centuries to come I hope. 52:51.535 --> 52:54.104 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Yeah, I think so and plus in the South Carolina 52:54.204 --> 52:56.640 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% Dairy and even Dairy men in the south east are 52:56.740 --> 52:58.675 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% interested in what's going on with these systems. 52:58.775 --> 53:01.745 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% They're looking at them. Well, if people want to know 53:01.845 --> 53:04.147 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% more about this fascinating experiment 53:04.247 --> 53:07.017 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and facility that's here, what's the best way to get 53:07.117 --> 53:09.452 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% information? You can go to our Clemson 53:09.553 --> 53:12.522 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Research Farms website and the dairy farm has its 53:12.622 --> 53:15.792 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% own website within that. It has information from contact 53:15.892 --> 53:19.129 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% to me, my assistant manager or any way you get contact to get 53:19.229 --> 53:21.831 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% information. Thank you for sharing this with us 53:21.932 --> 53:24.134 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% today. It really has been an extraordinary journey. 53:24.234 --> 53:25.402 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100% You're welcome. Enjoyed it. 53:25.502 --> 53:49.326 align:left position:50%,start line:93.33% size:50% ♪ 53:49.426 --> 53:50.627 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% The research that goes on 53:50.727 --> 53:53.930 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% at Lemaster Dairy Center is going to make it 53:54.030 --> 53:56.433 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% easier for people to remain in the dairy 53:56.533 --> 53:58.902 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% business. And we are very grateful for the 53:59.002 --> 54:01.438 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% progress that they've made there. Terasa, what 54:01.538 --> 54:04.140 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% else have you got that we can ask these smart 54:04.241 --> 54:06.142 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% guys while we got them with us tonight? 54:06.243 --> 54:09.846 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Well, COVID -19 has affected so many aspects of our daily 54:09.946 --> 54:12.716 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% life, from the way we shop to the way we dine. 54:12.816 --> 54:15.252 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% What our viewers would like to know is how has 54:15.352 --> 54:17.887 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the virus affected farmers. 54:17.988 --> 54:20.557 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Whew! Well, Zack you're down there with a variety of 54:20.657 --> 54:23.360 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% farmers and I know a lot of them were wanting to 54:23.460 --> 54:25.662 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% just sell wholesale to some of these fancy 54:25.762 --> 54:28.598 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% restaurants. But what have they done? 54:28.698 --> 54:30.767 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Amanda, a lot of our farmers have had to 54:30.867 --> 54:33.403 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% diversify. It's really forced them to do that. 54:33.503 --> 54:36.039 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% So there you know they're selling a little to wholesale. 54:36.139 --> 54:37.874 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% They're selling some to restaurants. They're selling 54:37.974 --> 54:41.011 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% some direct market. and then they're having some 54:41.111 --> 54:43.346 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% people come to the farm and actually do U-Picks. 54:43.446 --> 54:45.682 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% So I think this has been a really good 54:45.782 --> 54:48.618 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% thing overall for the farmers to kind of 54:48.718 --> 54:51.621 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% diversify their business. I will say that the U- 54:51.721 --> 54:54.958 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% pick operations of the strawberries, tomatoes 54:55.058 --> 54:58.261 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% blackberries. Those operations have really 54:58.361 --> 55:00.530 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% picked up business this year. And I think it's 55:00.630 --> 55:03.433 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% because you know people were at home. 55:03.533 --> 55:05.101 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% They're looking for something to do. 55:05.201 --> 55:07.437 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% They get to go to a farm. They get 55:07.537 --> 55:09.739 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% to have a family experience and experience some fresh 55:09.839 --> 55:12.876 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% air, as well as meet their local farmers. 55:12.976 --> 55:15.578 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Local farmers are the best people. They're the salt 55:15.679 --> 55:19.015 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% of the earth. And it's just really neat 55:19.115 --> 55:21.251 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% seeing these people and the relationships that are 55:21.351 --> 55:23.887 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% formed. And so a lot of these farmers because 55:23.987 --> 55:27.223 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% they had such good a year this year, they've 55:27.324 --> 55:29.993 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% actually plan to expand for the upcoming year. 55:30.093 --> 55:32.228 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% So, what I encourage people to do, we're 55:32.329 --> 55:35.865 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% planning those crops now. And so support your local 55:35.965 --> 55:38.501 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% farmers next year more so than you did this year 55:38.601 --> 55:41.604 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% because they planned on that to happen. 55:41.705 --> 55:44.407 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Well and when people do this that is going to 55:44.507 --> 55:46.943 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% ensure that land can remain in farming in 55:47.043 --> 55:50.013 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% South Carolina a goal of all of us.
