to Farmer program a UAID sponsored program requested the services of Extension

Agent to assist small nursery operators in Guyana. I was nominated and I accepted the

assignment to spend two weeks teaching small groups as well as individuals. The subject

matter demonstrated included; characteristics of various potting substrates; the

importance of porosity; reducing and preventing soil-borne diseases and a hands on

demonstration making a potting mix using coconut fiber dust, rice hull and compost. A

total of 8 small nursery operators participated in the demonstrations in all a total of 61

contacts were made. Since returning I followed up with the host and was told that 4 of

the growers adopted the mixture I created and the mortality rate for their spinach

seedlings has moved from about 40% down to less than 5%. As result of my intervention

one operator was planning to double his output of vegetable seedlings.

23. EXTENSION PROGRAM - Delineate the major extension programs carried

The Agriculture /Horticulture/Natural Resources advisory committee last met on November

18, 2010 the minutes of the meeting was forwarded to CED and DED The committee is

comprised of ten members chosen because of their occupational background and their role in

the community. This committee is made of three female and seven male volunteers 10% of

the group is black and the other 90% is white which is reflective of the racial make-up of the

county.

On December 9th

the Wakulla County Extension Council held its organizational meeting.

The Council is comprised of members of the Advisory Committees and thirteen people were

present. The Council has seven women and six men; two members are black and eleven

members are white. This group accepted the leadership role of the Wakulla County

Extension Service to guide us beyond program planning. The main focus of the meeting was

to explore ways to help keep the Wakulla County Extension program sustainable through

tough financial times and to assist us in marketing our services to the public.

Title for Program I

Community Agriculture

Situation

Situation statement: Florida is the 4th

most populated state with the 4th

largest economy in the

country; the state also leads the southeast in farm income. Agriculture is the state’s second

largest industry next to tourism. When the event of September 11th

occurred the state had a

dramatic drop in tourism income, however, agriculture production and income stood firm. It is,

therefore, easy to see how important our food production is to the state and country.

The rising food cost that we all saw recently is not temporary but is expected to continue for

years to come. Food is critical for sustainable living and security. As our demand for food

trends upward and prices increase more families could be pushed closer to poverty. Extension

education programs are essential components to the continued profitability and sustainability

of Florida's agricultural and natural resource industries. These educational efforts ensure

continued improvements in domestic and international competitiveness.

Wakulla and Leon County Farmers are important components in the urban and rural

connections that keep our counties thriving. The expansion of our food production is of

utmost importance to our economic and social well being. There has been growing need for

expansion of community gardens in Wakulla and Leon Counties evident from the feedback

from our Advisory Committees.

Target audience(s): Commercial growers, urban families, community groups, and youth.

Program Objectives 1

After participating in 4 three hour workshops 90% of the surveyed participants will

correctly select sites and establish a home garden base on the knowledge gained. All the

participants will employ the BMPs for home gardening and reduce their annual

vegetable budget by 10%

Trevor Hylton 14

Objective 2

Establish a model community garden that demonstrates sustainability and stewardship of

the land. This facility will offer training and out reach for members and non members

Thirty percent of program participants will adopt best management practice based on

training offered by this program. This will be measured using pre and post survey and

observation; 250 area citizens participated during the year.

Educational Methods and Activities

To accomplish the program goals, group and individual meetings were held utilizing

workshops, field days and field trips, farmer to farmer sessions, and success stories.

Bulletins, flyers, fact sheets and other printed material aided in the delivery of

information. Successful growers helped to impart success achievable through BMPs.

A community garden summit was be held to create awareness and facilitate networking

among participants.

A small farm workshop that explore a variety of fresh idea about sustainable agriculture

and alternative enterprises was conducted.

As a result of the program activities 50% of the participants have started home compost piles

resulting in 1500 lb less synthetic fertilizer being used.

After 3 intense classes in vegetable gardening 96% of the 48 participants indicated that the

information was extremely useful and will be put into practice.

A growers market was established with 10 growers participating weekly while serving over 2800

consumers for the season (Feb- Sept)

This program provided Improved economic condition improved productivity, profitability,

sustainability and competitiveness of our area producers and also enhanced civic engagement

and community involvement

Success Stories The ensuing remarks are some of the individual comments that were provided by the Leon County Customer Satisfaction Survey respondents. “I have started a small 10-acre farm in Leon County; FL. Throughout the initial season, the Extension service has provided information on land and site prep, irrigation, plant and seed selection, insects, fertilizers, etc. All of the information has been timely, accurate and appropriate.” “Living in the part of Leon County that I do there are more plants/pests that I have never seen or know how to handle. The MG classes are teaching me through study and hands on work how to deal with my part of the jungle. When concerns are not addressed in class, just a question will elicit and answer or direction to a source of information”. “As I recall, I was interested in composting materials for my vegetable garden. I wanted any information available. Put it to use in creating a compost pile. The compost pile is built and it is slowly making materials for my garden”

Program II Urban Horticulture

Situation statement:

Between 1990 and 2000 the state of Florida population grew 23.5%, Leon and Wakulla

counties have both seen somewhat similar population increases. There are 132,000 households

in both counties, a large portion of these householders have at sometime planted home

Trevor Hylton 17

vegetable gardens but few harvested any crops from their hard work and have had many

expensive ornamental plants die because they lack the basic knowledge about growing and

maintaining these crops.

With the high price of food and the numerous food security issues that was recently

experienced, there has been a new thrust toward growing what we eat and eating what we

grow.

The economic value is only part of the impact which will be seen, eating wholesome food will

positively impact the quality of life of these households. They will have fewer problems with

obesity, hypertension, diabetes and other debilitating diseases.

Program Objectives

Objective I As a result of the program’s intervention 55 new households will establish home

gardens resulting in a 10% increase in vegetable consumption by the participants measured by

surveys

Objective II 70% of the participants sampled will increase their knowledge of vegetable

production this will be ascertained through survey and observation

Educational Methods and Activities

To accomplish the program goals, group and individual meetings were held utilizing workshops,

field days and field trips, one on one session, hands on demonstrations, farmer to farmer

sessions, and success stories.

Bulletins, flyers fact sheets, newspaper articles, and other printed material aided in the delivery

of information.

Success Stories

This is an individual’s comment taken from the Leon County Customer Satisfaction Survey respondents. “I enjoyed the gardening program. I found that I already knew a considerable amount of the information, though I did gain more knowledge about certain things. I also really enjoyed seeing the demonstration veggie garden and the hydroponic bed too. My husband and I have finished building a raised bed and are gradually filling it with dirt/organic matter. We've had much better luck with squash this year than in previous years.

III 4-H and Other Extension Activities

Situation

A large number of high school students in Leon and Wakulla Counties are completely clueless about the

sources of the food that they consume on a daily basis. They cannot relate to anything agriculture and will

unlikely to gravitate toward any profession that is agriculture incline. Because of this lack of agriculture

knowledge they are become oblivious of their natural resources and will not be engaging in protection and the

sustainability of these resources.

Program Objectives

After completing the process of site selection, establishing, and maintaining a school garden 90% of the

student participating will be aware of the sources of their food and have a favorable attitude towards food and

fiber production measured by pre and post survey.

Educational Methods and activities

To accomplish the program goals group meetings, field trips, work days, lectures, mentoring sessions and

many hands-on sessions were held.
