In addition, the two Universities welcome all persons without regard to sexual orientation. North Carolina State University, North Carolina A&T State University, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and local governments cooperating. Buncombe County Center, 94 Coxe Avenue, Asheville, NC FAX: Join the 10% Campaign! a center for Environmental Farming Systems Initiative The campaign is an effort to encourage North Carolina consumers to spend 10 percent of their food dollars on foods from local sources. Through the campaign website -- consumers and businesses will pledge to spend 10 percent of their food dollars locally, purchasing products from area farmers and food producers. Campaign participants will receive weekly reminders to report how much money they spent on local food. The website will show consumers how their dollars spent on local foods grow. North Carolinians spend about $35 billion a year on food. If each person spent just 10 percent on food locally roughly $1.05 per day then approximately $3.5 billion would be available in the state s economy. Cooperative Extension s local foods coordinator, Melinda Roberts, will help connect consumers and food producers and support local businesses and organizations who want to spend 10 percent of their food dollars locally. Local food coordinators will personally contact businesses and organizations that register through the website to help them develop a plan for purchasing local products. In addition, the 10% Campaign website provides a Find Local Foods page with links to help consumers find local food and farm products in their own communities. A Learn More page includes links to information on a variety of partner organizations, such as Slow Food USA and Eat Smart, Move More NC. There are also links to educational information on topics ranging from how to set up a workplace community-supported agriculture program to how to cook seasonal, local products. To find out what s happening with local foods in your county, visit your Cooperative Extension website where the link to the Local Foods page can be found on the left hand column of your county center s home page. The Compass Group of Charlotte, the world s largest food service provider, is leading the way in the campaign by pledging to purchase 10 percent of its food from local sources. Compass Group is developing a parallel model farm-to-institution buying program and will purchase 10 percent of the produce it serves in its North Carolina accounts from local farmers in the state. Funding for the 10% Campaign and website is provided by Golden LEAF. Persons with disabilities and persons with limited English proficiency may request accommodations to participate in activities mentioned in this newsletter. Please contact Amanda Stone at during business hours at least 3 days prior to the event to discuss accommodations.

Thousand Cankers Disease on black walnut, Juglans nigra was just recently detected in Knoxville, TN. It s only a matter of time before we find it in our area. Unfortunately this means the loss of black walnut in our region. This is a deadly disease caused by the fungus Geosmithia morbid, with an insect vector, the Walnut Twig Beetle that helps to spread it from walnut tree to walnut tree. I am now regretting all those times I cussed the walnut trees in my yard because I couldn t grow a vegetable garden. Walnut trees secrete allelopathic compounds that prevent other plants from growing around them and vegetables are particularly sensitive. Thousand Cankers Disease has been in the western states where black walnut is planted but not native. Colorado State University has a website on this disease: For more on identifying the disease, view the archived webinar at: Thousand Cankers Quarantine! States affected by the quarantine include Tennessee, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and any other states found to be infested. The quarantine affects black walnut seedlings, lumber, logs and all hardwood firewood originating from a quarantined state. The quarantine is needed to prevent the establishment, dissemination, or potential spread of Thousand Cankers Disease and its vector, the Walnut Twig Beetle, into North Carolina and other states. Please help get the word out on this and if you suspect an infected tree, call your local Extension Agent.

5 Page 5 Emerald Ash Borer Approaches North Carolina Steven D. Frank Assistant Professor and Extension Specialist, Department of Entomology, North Carolina State University On July 27, 2010, Tennessee Department of Agriculture announced the discovery of emerald ash borer (EAB) at a truck stop in Knox County near the Loudon County line. This was the first detection of EAB in Tennessee and is about 30 miles from North Carolina. EAB only attacks ash trees, Fraxinus americana, Fraxinus pennsylvanica and other Fraxinus species. Our native mountain ash, Sorbus americana is not a true ash and therefore not affected. It is believed to have been introduced into the Detroit, Michigan area 15 to 20 years ago on wood packing material from Asia. Since then, the destructive insect has also been found in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin. Unfortunately North Carolina is likely to be infested by EAB sooner or later due to our proximity to other infested states, tourism related to outdoor activities (many campers bring fire-wood from out-of-state), large nursery industry that receives plants from all over, and growing population which leads to importation of plants from other states. Early detection will be key to minimizing economic damage. What can be done? Keep your eyes open. Arborists and landscape professionals see more trees in one day than most people see in a year. Look for D-shaped holes and signs of decline in ash trees such as branch dieback, bark splitting, or sucker growth. EAB adults are ½ inch long and metallic green. Larvae live beneath tree bark and create serpentine galleries (see pictures below). If you find suspicious damage on ash trees or see the beetle or larvae contact the NCDA&CS hotline at: or newpest@ncagr.gov Tennessee press release and EAB info: US Forest Service information: Photo: Howard Russell, Michigan State University Photo: Art Wagner, USDA APHIS PPQ
