Dr. Joseph Cain received the eighth annual Farming Heritage Award from the West Virginia Farm Bureau and the State Fair of West Virginia August 15. “It’s quite an honor for me and the community.

I hope many of you made it to the State Fair this year. By the looks of the crowds I saw, it appeared that a good portion of the state decided to take advantage of
several days of nice weather.
Rita and I had a great time touring the grounds and the barns, and chatting with many of the people we met along the way. I’d like to compliment the Department staff for their work on getting the Ag Building ready, providing educational materials for the public, and for their work in protecting the health of the many animals that went through the fairgrounds over the 11 days of the Fair.

At a special meeting, she told the board that she usually gets calls on both sides of any issue, but in this case, every call she received was in favor of keeping the agriculture program alive at Harman. She also noted that neighboring Tucker County High School has grown its agriculture program from nine to 60 students in the past year. The growth in Tucker County mirrors what I’ve been seeing during my travels through the state. Agriculture is alive and moving forward in the Mountain State because of great farmers and great educators who are demonstrating to our young people that agriculture is a viable profession and a great way of life. Agriculture is also an important part of West Virginia’s economy. The leading sector is the commercial poultry industry, which generates 53 percent of our state’s agriculture revenue. I was in Moorefield in early August for the annual Poultry Festival and Convention. It’s a great event, and I’m continually impressed with the efficiency of that industry and sheer volume of birds produced in Hardy and surrounding counties.
The 2012 West Virginia Conservation Farm of the Year tractor presentation was recently made to brothers Greg and Bruce Butler Jr., and their families, owners and operators of B&G Orchards in Martinsburg. Steve Cronin of Middletown Tractor Sales in Fairmont presented the Butlers with a new John Deere that they will have the use of for 200 hours. They are the fifth generation on the farm that has been in their family for more than 100 years. They currently raise cattle and 75 different varieties of fruits and vegetables. I was pleased to be on hand for the event, and want to congratulate the
Butlers for both their successful business – and their outstanding conservation efforts. Congratulations also to Peach Queen Sarah Sine and Peach King Zane Sine, whom I crowned during the first
annual Peach Festival in Romney. Peaches are one of the farm products we’re known for here in West Virginia, and I hope this event thrives in the future. I am very proud to have participated in this inaugural event. Finally, A. Goff & Sons Polled Herefords in Harrisville is marking its 103rd year in operation and its 60th Production Sale will be held on October 19. Six guest consignors are expected to attend. This is the oldest Polled Hereford Farm east of the Mississippi, and possibly
the United States, so if you’re in the market, this would be a great opportunity to take part in a historic sale.

Apple Nut Muffins Mexican Corn Soup¾ pound chicken (boned) 2 cloves garlic 1 small onion, chopped 2 tablespoons butter 1 cup chicken stock 1 pint fresh or frozen corn 1 tablespoon oregano
¼ teaspoon coriander ¼ teaspoon cumin ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon pepper 1 jalapeno pepper, chopped fine 1 cup milk 8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese 1 fresh tomato, cubed
Enjoying the Early Fall Harvest
Summer is coming to a close, but that doesn’t mean the end to eating fresh local foods. September is a great month to enjoy end-of-summer crops and the beginning of the first fall harvests. Produce, meats, cultivated mushrooms, eggs and honey are still available at West Virginia farmers’ markets. Nothing heralds the arrival of fall like apples, and the sweetness of an apple muffin will compliment any of these soup recipes that are sure to ward off September’s early chills. Respect what nature has to offer at this time of year, and appreciate the variety of the harvest.
## Recipes
Sauté chicken, garlic and onion in butter until chicken is cooked. Set aside. In another pot, combine chicken stock and corn; simmer for 30 minutes. Process corn mixture in blender and return to pot. Add chicken, spices, jalapeno pepper, milk and cheese. Simmer for 15 minutes. Place a spoonful of tomatoes in bottom of soup bowl. Ladle hot soup on top. Garnish with more cheese, if desired. This soup tastes even better if it is reheated and served the next day.
Heat olive oil and butter in large saucepan. Sauté garlic on medium heat. Add mushrooms; cook for about 5 minutes until moisture from mushrooms disappears. Add chicken broth, thyme, bay leaf and Maggi seasoning. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Add flour/Half-and-Half mixture and cook until mixture thickens. Season with salt and pepper. Serve garnished with thyme sprigs, if desired.
¼ cup butter, softened½ cup sugar 1 large egg½ cup sour cream½ teaspoon vanilla 1 cup finely chopped apple 1 cup all-purpose flour½ teaspoon baking powder¼ teaspoon baking soda¼ teaspoon salt Topping¼ cup packed light brown sugar½ teaspoon cinnamon 1 tablespoon melted butter¼ cup chopped nuts
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line muffin tins with paper or foil muffin cups. Cream butter and sugar in medium bowl. Beat in egg and sour cream with a spoon. Stir in vanilla and apple. Sift flour, baking powder, soda and salt into large bowl. Add apple mixture and stir until dry ingredients are barely moistened. Spoon into muffin cups, filling two-thirds full. Combine topping ingredients. Sprinkle on top of batter in cups. Bake 20-25 minutes, or until muffins are slightly brown and springy to the touch. Immediately remove muffins from the pan and cool on rack. These muffins have better flavor if served at room temperature. Depending on the size of the muffin pan, this recipe will yield 9-12 muffins.
Sausage, Potato & Kale Soup 2 cups potatoes, sliced thin¼ cup sliced carrots 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 medium onion, chopped½ pound Polish sausage, cut into bite-size pieces
2 cups beef broth2 cups Half-and-Half½ teaspoon red pepper flakes 2 cups kale, torn into bite-size pieces Black pepper, to taste
In small saucepan, boil potatoes and carrots in salted water until tender. Drain and set aside. In large soup pot, sauté onion and sausage in olive oil until onions are translucent. Stir in potatoes and carrots. Add broth. Simmer until heated through. Stir in Half-and-Half and red pepper flakes. (Note: If soup is too thick, more Half-and-Half or milk may be added to desired consistency.) Heat, but do not boil. Add kale; simmer about 10 minutes or until kale loses its crispness. Season with black pepper. Ladle into bowls and serve.
#Recipes#
Fresh Mushroom Soup2 cups fresh mushrooms, cleaned and chopped (I used Shiitake and oyster mushrooms)1 tablespoon olive oil1 tablespoon butter2 cloves garlic, minced1 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried1 bay leaf¼ teaspoon Maggi seasoning1 tablespoon flour blended into 1 cup Half-and-Half Salt and pepper to taste Thyme sprigs for garnish, optional

Greenbrier counties, has recently launched a new local foods branding program – Greenbrier Valley Grown. The Greenbrier Valley Grown logo certifies that “local” foods are truly locally produced within the Greenbrier Valley. The GVLFI, which is an Initiative of the Greenbrier Valley Economic Development Corporation, views local agriculture as a valuable economic sector and seeks to promote local foods, sustainable farming, and profitable agricultural ventures through appropriate planning, infrastructure, and development. Greenbrier Valley Grown offers certification standards for food producers, value-added product producers, farmers’ markets, retail outlets, and businesses that serve freshly prepared foods, such as restaurants. For further information about Greenbrier Valley Grown, please visit the GVLFI website at www.greenbriervalley.org or call 304-497-4300.
One of West Virginia’s most worrisome forest pests will have fewer places to hide in 2014. The West Virginia Department of Agriculture (WVDA) has announced it will greatly expand the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA) Cooperative Pilot Project, started in 2011 to provide private landowners with an affordable option to save hemlock trees from HWA, a non-native insect that feeds on Hemlock trees. The project originally covered only the area around the New and Gauley Rivers. The 2013-2014 HWA Program will expand to the 46 West Virginia counties HWA is known to occur: Barbour, Berkeley, Boone, Braxton, Cabell, Clay, Fayette, Grant, Greenbrier, Hampshire, Hardy, Harrison, Jackson, Jefferson, Kanawha, Lewis, Lincoln, Logan, Marion, Mason, Mercer, Mineral, Mingo, Monongalia, Monroe, Morgan, McDowell, Nicholas, Pendleton, Pocahontas, Preston, Putnam, Raleigh, Randolph, Ritchie, Roane, Summers, Taylor, Tucker, Tyler, Upshur, Wayne, Webster, Wirt, Wood and Wyoming counties. West Virginia Commissioner of Agriculture Walt Helmick said the program is the only one of its type in the country. “HWA treatment has been done in parks and on other public property, but this is the first one that is working to limit this pest on private property,” said Commissioner Helmick. “We found there was interest in areas that were not included in the program last year, so we decided to expand the program.” HWA is an insect that appears as white, woolly masses on the underside of hemlock needles and eventually kills the tree, according to Tim Tomon, Forest Entomologist with WVDA’s Plant Industries Division. “Hemlock trees are an important component of West Virginia ecosystems besides their value as lumber, but even more so for their unmatched aesthetic appeal,” said Tomon. “They also create habitat for songbirds and other wildlife, including shade that keeps water at trout-friendly temperatures.”
Interested landowners have until September 30 to apply for the program. All work will be performed by employees of the WVDA. Treatments should protect trees for about four years. Landowners accepted for the program must pay either $1.50 per inch of diameter at breast height (DBH) to $2 per DBH inch depending on treatment type. The type of treatment depends upon distance of the tree to open water. Landowners must complete an application and submit it with a map of their property, along with a $100 deposit that will be applied to treatment costs. WVDA will evaluate landowner sites to ensure they meet the following project qualifications:
• Only private lands within the project area are eligible.• More than 50 percent canopy cover of hemlocks.• A woodlot with a minimum of five acres. Adjacent and
otherwise eligible landowners may cooperate to meet the minimum acreage requirement.
• Landowners with less than five acres may qualify if the proposed treatment area is adjacent to land being managed for HWA.
• Trees must have more than 50 percent foliage.• Trees may not have been treated within the last
four years.• Treatment must not pose a safety risk to WVDA
field personnel.• Pesticides used in treatments must be
purchased directly by WVDA.

4-H Happenings Dr. Jean M. Woloshuk, WVU Extension
Specialist, 4-H Youth Agriculture
Fall is just around the corner and so is reorganization for the 4-H program. October 7-11, is National 4-H Week and all West Virginia counties will be celebrating the 4-H youth and adult volunteer leaders who have made an impact on the community and who are stepping up to the challenges of a complex and changing world. Also during National 4-H Week, youth from all around the state and nation will complete a single, innovative experiment on 4-H National Youth Science Day, which will be held October 9, 2013. This event, which takes place in urban, suburban and rural communities across the country seeks to spark an early youth interest and leadership in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) careers in an effort to keep America competitive in those fields. This year, the National Science Experiment will be – 4-H Maps & Apps! Designed by Colorado State University Extension, this year’s set of activities will turn young people into geospatial thinkers as they design and map their ideal park, use GIS mapping to solve community problems and contribute data about their community to the United States Geological Survey. Currently, more than five million young people across the nation participate in 4-H STEM programming in topics as varied as robotics, agricultural science, rocketry, wind power, environmental science and alternative energy. 4-H members from throughout the state participated in the 2013 State 4-H Dog Skillathon held in conjunction with State 4-H Days, July 26 in Morgantown. The event was underwritten by the West Virginia Veterinary Medical Association. 4-H’ers from Monongalia, Ohio, Preston, Wayne and Wood counties participated in the Junior Division of the Skillathon. The 1st Place Junior Individual in the skillathon was Abby Rose Sisler, Preston County; 2nd Place Junior Individual, Ashlee
C. Smith, Wayne County; and 3rd Place Junior Individual was Emilee V. Ellison from Wood County. The skillathon consisted of 5 sections: Parts of the Dog, Breeds of Dogs, Conformation of Tails, Grooming Equipment, and Conformation of Front and Rear Legs.
