The Memorandum of Understanding between EPA and SCDA includes activities to promote communication and coordination; education and outreach; and recognition of environmental stewardship. Highlights include:

• Hosting agriculture roundtables and/or educational farm tours to foster a dialogue between EPA and the agricultural community on the successes, challenges, and opportunities to work together to achieve well-managed, productive farms and a clean environment.

• Participating in agricultural events such as state fairs, farm shows, and technical field days to expand open discussion between EPA and the agricultural community.

• Recognizing farmers for their environmental stewardship and conservation efforts that contribute to efficient farms, healthy soils, and clean water.

The signing also laid the groundwork for some policy discussions. Weathers and EPA officials discussed the recent federal court ruling outlawing dicamba, which has placed many farmers in a tough position.

The EPA officials also got a chance to learn about a thriving agricultural area of the Palmetto State. The EPA officials visited the Chester dairy operation Sunny Day Farm, as well as Cotton Hills Farm in Lowrys, a diversified produce farm run by the Wilson family. They visited a pecan orchard, and capped off their tour with lunch at Black’s Peaches in York: burgers, cucumber-tomato salad, watermelon, and peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream churned right on site.

“I’m proud of all of our farmers who welcomed these folks from EPA,” Weathers said.

While EPA and SCDA may not see eye-to-eye on every issue going forward, the Memorandum of Understanding shows a shared commitment to working together on issues that affect farmers and agribusiness.

SOUTH CAROLINACOMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE

I hope by now you’ve heard about Farmers to Food Banks,

a program created by SCDA and South Carolina Advocates for Agriculture to help fill some gaps in the food system as the COVID-19 pandemic continues.I’m so proud of what we’ve been able to do with this program in just a few short weeks. After a brief fundraising period, we solicited proposals from distributors and food hubs, selecting nine to participate. Beginning June 15, they bought produce from South Carolina farmers and worked with food banks to create produce boxes for families around the state. In just two weeks, we were able to support farmers and needy families by buying more than 300,000 pounds of produce.This couldn’t have been done without a great team in our state: farmers with great products, wholesalers and distributors with resources to utilize, food banks with passionate personnel, and of course our donors who made it all possible.We’re still accepting donations to Farmers to Food Banks. If you’d like to contribute, please contact Cristina Key in my office at ckey@scda.sc.gov or 803-734-2190.I visited several food bank sites to get a first-hand look at the program. I came away impressed with the way so many people are involved in

FEEDING OUR NEIGHBORS

Recently, the South Carolina Department of Agriculture and Region 4 of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency took a key step toward future collaboration by creating a first-time Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the two agencies.

Through the years, the EPA has sometimes been at odds with the agriculture community. The MOU is a symbol of the agencies’ commitment to working together, and also establishes some concrete areas of collaboration.

EPA Region 4 Administrator Mary S. Walker and EPA agriculture advisor Susan Park traveled to South Carolina on June 17 to meet with South Carolina Commissioner of Agriculture Hugh Weathers and SCDA Assistant Commissioner Aaron Wood, tour farms in the York and Chester area, and sign the MOU.

“[This] MOU with the South Carolina Department of Agriculture formalizes our commitment to the partnership between our organizations to help address important agricultural-environmental issues within the state,” Walker said at the signing ceremony. “EPA is proud to work alongside the South Carolina Department of Agriculture and advance solutions to today’s pressing agricultural

challenges.”

Commissioner Weathers was similarly positive.

“This historic agreement between EPA and the South Carolina Department of Agriculture is an acknowledgment of what farmers have known for a long time: When it comes to protecting the environment, agriculture is part of the solution,” Weathers said. “We’re thrilled to have a positive foundation for future collaboration with EPA.”

helping get food to those in need around South Carolina – and a greater appreciation of the impact of COVID-19.While COVID-19 has changed a lot this year, it hasn’t changed the fact that July is a busy month for South Carolina agriculture. Farmers are picking summer produce and finishing up fall planting. Markets and roadside stands are bustling with customers. Combines will begin to roll through corn fields in the lower part of the state. And, of course, everyone is gearing up for the Fourth of July.Fortunately, fireworks are an activity where it’s easy to socially distance. And South Carolina offers some excellent farm-fresh food for your July 4 family cookout. Peaches are at their peak, while tomatoes, sweet corn, cucumbers and watermelon are hitting their stride. Head to certifiedsc.com to find out what’s in season, locate markets and farms near you, and support the farmers who are working hard to support you.By the way, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, you may have forgotten that hurricane season is well upon us – and it’s looking like it might be a busy one. Visit scemd.org for the 2020 South Carolina Hurricane Guide, which will help you find your hurricane zone, make an emergency plan, and more.

EPA Region 4 Administrator Mary Walker and S.C. Commissioner of Agriculture Hugh Weathers share a fist bump after signing a Memorandum of Understanding.

Agricultural producers can apply for USDA’s Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP), which provides direct payments to offset impacts from the coronavirus pandemic. The application and a payment calculator are now available online, and USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) staff members are available via phone, fax and online tools to help producers complete applications. The agency set up a call center in order to simplify how they serve new customers across the nation.

“We know South Carolina producers are facing a tough time now, and we are making every effort to provide much needed support as quickly as possible,” said Boone Peeler, state executive director for FSA in South Carolina. “FSA is available over the phone and virtually to walk you through the application process, whether it’s the first time you’ve worked with FSA, or if you know us quite well.”

Applications will be accepted through August 28, 2020. Through CFAP, USDA is making available $16 billion for vital financial assistance to producers of agricultural commodities who have suffered a five-percent-or-greater price decline due to COVID-19 and face additional significant marketing costs as a result of lower demand, surplus production, and disruptions to shipping patterns and the orderly marketing of commodities.

“We also want to remind producers that the program is structured to ensure the availability of funding for all eligible producers who apply,” Peeler said.

In order to do this, producers will receive 80 percent of their maximum total payment upon

approval of the application. The remaining portion of the payment, not to exceed the payment limit, will be paid at a later date nationwide, as funds remain available.

Producers can download the CFAP application and other eligibility forms from farmers.gov/cfap. Also, on that webpage, producers can find a payment calculator to help identify sales and inventory records needed to apply and calculate potential payments.

Additionally, producers in search of one-on-one support with the CFAP application process can call 877-508-8364 to speak directly with a USDA employee ready to offer assistance. This is a good first step before a producer engages the team at the FSA county office at their local USDA Service Center.

A P P LY I N G F O R A S S I S TA N C EProducers of all eligible commodities will apply through their local FSA office. Those who use the online calculator tool will be able to print off a pre-filled CFAP application, sign, and submit to your local FSA office either electronically or via hand delivery. Please contact your local office to determine the preferred method. Find contact information for your local office at farmers.gov/cfap.

Documentation to support the producer’s application and certification may be requested after the application is filed. FSA has streamlined the signup process to not require an acreage report at the time of application and a USDA farm number may not be immediately needed.

A D D I T I O N A L C O M M O D I T I E SUSDA is also establishing a process for the public to identify additional commodities for potential inclusion in CFAP. Specifically, USDA is looking for data on agricultural commodities, that are not currently eligible for CFAP, that the public believes to have either:

• suffered a five percent-or-greater price decline between mid-January and mid-April as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,

• shipped but subsequently spoiled due to loss of marketing channel, or

• not left the farm or remained unharvested as mature crops.

More information about this process is available on farmers.gov/cfap.

M O R E I N F O R M AT I O NTo find the latest information on CFAP, visit farmers.gov/cfap or call 877-508-8364.

USDA Service Centers are open for business by phone appointment only, and field work will continue with appropriate social distancing. While program delivery staff will continue to come into the office, they will be working with producers by phone and using online tools whenever possible. All Service Center visitors wishing to conduct business with the FSA, Natural Resources Conservation Service, or any other Service Center agency are required to call their Service Center to schedule a phone appointment. More information can be found at farmers.gov/coronavirus.

raw in-shell peanuts • water • salt

D I R E C T I O N S

Preparation: Wash and place in-shell peanuts in a suitable container (glass, enamel, ceramic, plastic) to soak. Cover with medium brine: 10 ounces salt to one gallon of water. Use about twice as much water as peanuts. Place a weighted plate on the peanuts to keep them submerged. Soak overnight. Remove plate. Add water as needed to cover the peanuts.

Cook by one of the following methods:

STOVE TOP Bring the peanuts to a boil; reduce heat to simmer and continue to cook for 4 hours. Test for doneness to see if texture and saltiness are suitable. Add to cooking time in 30-minute increments if softer peanuts are desired. Allow to remain in brine to increase saltiness. Drain as soon as desired texture and degree of saltiness is achieved.

SLOW COOKER Cook soaked peanuts on low for 8 hours and then on high for 1 ½ hours. Test for

As any peanut farmer will tell you, a peanut is not a nut but a legume – and there’s no better way to remind yourself of that fact than to boil it.

Boiling in salt water softens and seasons a peanut, bringing out its sweet, fresh, beany flavors. Wet and sticky, boiled peanuts may seem an unlikely snack to the uninitiated, but they’re addictive, a classic not only in the South but in other parts of the world as well.

To make boiled peanuts, you’ll need to find raw in-shell peanuts. Freshly harvested peanuts, called “green peanuts” although they’re not green, are sold at some farmers markets and grocery stores during the summer and fall, and are prized by boiled peanut aficionados; but any raw in-shell peanut can be successfully used for boiled peanuts. Most raw peanuts used for boiling are either Valencia or Virginia varieties.

Some people are boiled peanut purists, using only salt and water, while others add a variety of seasonings, such as red pepper flakes, fresh chilies, liquid smoke, crab boil like Old Bay or Zatarain’s, and garlic or onion powder. Below is a basic recipe; feel free to vary it as you desire. — Eva Moore

doneness; increase cooking time as needed to achieve desired texture and saltiness.

When cooked, drain and serve hot as a snack or allow to cool, shell and use the peanut kernels to add flavor and zip to salads, casseroles, and dressing to accompany pork, poultry and other prepared dishes. Any peanuts not eaten immediately may be stored in the refrigerator for several days.

FREEZING BOILED PEANUTSPrepare peanuts using either method above. Drain, allow to cool, and freeze in airtight containers. They keep indefinitely.

CANNING BOILED PEANUTSPrepare peanuts and brine the same as for boiling for immediate use. Pack peanuts into jars to within one-half inch of the top, using equal weights of peanuts and hot brine (212 degrees F.). Partially submerge containers in upright position in boiling water for 10 minutes. Seal while hot and process 45 minutes at 10 pounds pressure. Cool containers in water, label, and store away from heat.

PENDLETON, SOUTH CAROLINA — An invasive species of beetle discovered for the first time in South Carolina has state and federal officials conducting surveys in Charleston County to determine the extent of the insect’s spread.

The Asian longhorned beetle was found by a homeowner in Hollywood, South Carolina, who contacted Clemson University’s Department of Plant Industry (DPI) to report it.

A DPI inspector collected the insect for identification and conducted a preliminary survey of the trees on the property. At least four maple trees appear to be infested and inspectors have captured live beetles.

“We were very fortunate that the residents reported it when they did,” said Steven Long, assistant director of Clemson Regulatory Services who oversees DPI and invasive species. “We think it is confined just to this local area, but we are just getting started with our surveys.”

Clemson’s Plant and Pest Diagnostic Clinic and the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service’s (APHIS) National Identification Services have confirmed the insect’s identity.

The Asian longhorned beetle, Anoplophora glabripennis, is a wood-boring beetle that threatens a variety of hardwood trees, including maple, elm, ash, sycamore, poplar and willow. It is not a pest of the oak species that are more abundant in South Carolina.

As the beetle bores into the tree it interrupts the flow of life-giving sap and weakens the tree,

ultimately killing it. Infested trees also can become safety hazards, since branches can drop and trees can fall over, especially during storms.

South Carolina is the sixth state to detect an Asian longhorned beetle infestation. The pest has been eradicated from New Jersey and Illinois; eradication efforts are ongoing in New York, Massachusetts and Ohio with guidance from the APHIS Asian Longhorned Beetle Eradication Program.

Residents in the town of Hollywood and in surrounding Charleston County communities are encouraged to allow state and federal access to property to survey for the pest. They can also help

by looking for the beetle and examining the trees on their property for damage beetles may have caused.

“The number one thing we need is access to property in the inspection area,” Long said. “Survey crews will be operating in the area for the next several weeks and

possibly months as we determine the extent of the infestation. Landowners’ cooperation is vital to ensuring this pest doesn’t establish a foothold.

“The second thing we need is for people to help us look,” he said. “Our inspectors are experienced in examining the tree for signs of the beetles’

presence, but the more eyes we have looking for the insect and the more obvious damage it causes, the more likely we are to find it.”

The Asian longhorned beetle is shiny black with small, white spots on its body and its abnormally long antennae. Adult beetles can grow an inch and a half long.

“There are some lookalikes, including a native sawyer beetle that has long — although not quite this long — antennae,” Long said.

“But the Asian longhorned is still rather unique. Personally, I’ve only seen one other insect like it.”

The beetle’s larvae feed by tunneling under the tree bark where they live through the winter, forming galleries in the trunk and branches. When mature they chew their way out creating round holes about 3/8 inch in diameter.

South Carolinians who believe they have found the beetle may report it online at invasives@clemson.edu or by calling DPI at 864-646-2140.

They may also make a report by calling the USDA’s Asian longhorned beetle hotline at 866-702-9938 or report online at AsianLonghornedBeetle.com.

If possible, take pictures. If you capture a suspicious insect, store it in a durable container and freeze it, which will help with identification.

To protect against the spread of this or other damaging insect pests, Long urges caution in moving firewood or other wood products. Even if no beetles are visible, an infestation may be spread by moving branches, logs, stumps, packing material, lumber, wood debris and trimmings.

The South Carolina Department of Agriculture and the nonprofit South Carolina Advocates for Agriculture teamed up to create Farmers to Food Banks, a short-term effort to use donated funds to buy food from South Carolina farmers and distribute it to local food banks to ease COVID-19 strains on the food system.

The initial round of fundraising garnered $350,000, which was used to purchase roughly 300,000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables.

SCDA and Advocates for Agriculture selected nine distributors to participate in the program, and worked with Harvest Hope Food Bank, Lowcountry Food Bank, Golden Harvest Food Bank and Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina to ensure broad distribution of produce around the state.

Between June 15 and 24, SCDA officials visited several sites to meet volunteers and staff at food banks and distribution companies, see food box deliveries, and learn about the communities the produce would be serving.

Titan Peach Farms, based in Ridge Spring, created 4,500 twenty-pound boxes of fruits and vegetables for distribution by Harvest Hope Food Bank in the Pee Dee region of the state, teaming up with neighboring farms to supply what it didn’t grow itself. Commissioner Weathers met Titan vice president and administrative manager Lori Anne Carr (second from left) and Harvest Hope Food Bank of the Pee Dee executive director Nicole Echols (center) for a June 23 delivery.

Dianne’s Call and Axiom Farms, a Midlands food hub, supplied around 9,554 pounds of South Carolina produce to more than 500 families in conjunction with Harvest Hope Food Bank. On June 24, they handed out boxes in Hopkins in the Lower Richland area.

Orangeburg food hub ACE Basin Growers created 450 “salad boxes” featuring South Carolina produce like lettuce, cucumbers and peppers for delivery to sites in Berkeley, Orangeburg and Calhoun counties, working with Harvest Hope Food Bank. Volunteers from the Beta Zeta Omega chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority help Ace Basin Grower/Foodshare Orangeburg staffers pack boxes.

ACE Basin’s Jimmy Johnson met SCDA Director of Merchandising Katie Pfeiffer and Commissioner Weathers at the packing site.
