Extension seeks to make our food system fully sustainable by teaching Integrated Pest Management (IPM), variety selection, pest management and improved marketing skills. Ø Producers were able to identify and control pests based on Extension recommended thresholds on 80% of peanut, cotton and soybean acreage (8,000 acres). Eliminating one pesticide application resulted in savings of $80,000 ($10 per acre) in pesticide cost. Ø IPM is also a technique that is important to the economic success of farmers. Farmers were taught how to identify and scout for kudzu bugs, a new insect pest in Okaloosa County in 2013. In a University of Georgia study, the average yield loss to kudzu bugs was 18%. We estimate that 800 acres of soybeans were planted in 2013 with an average yield of 42 bushels/acre. Thus, the economic loss of $78,624 (6,048 bushels at $13/bushel) due to kudzu bugs was avoided by Okaloosa County farmers. Packet Pg. 99 MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS LAST YEAR (Horticulture): Ø More than 1000 soil & water samples were submitted and processed. Ø Florida law requires that pesticide and fertilizer applicators obtain the proper license through education and follow correct safety and handling procedures. Ø State law requires all commercial fertilizer applicators be licensed by January 1, 2014. Completing the Green Industries Best Management Practices (GI-BMP) training and passing the test is mandatory to obtain the license. Ø The Commercial Horticulture program in Okaloosa County enabled 739 Green Industry professionals to obtain and maintain the state required licensing for pesticide and fertilizer application. In doing so, these individuals alleviated the potential for fines from non-compliance, learned how to protect themselves and others from harmful effects of pesticides and acquired the knowledge needed to prevent environmental damage. Ø Seventy-five Master Gardeners provided 8849 hours of volunteer service, teaching 4237 residents Florida Friendly practices in maintaining their lawns, landscapes and gardens. Using the 2013 accepted $18.66 value for volunteer time, Okaloosa County Master Gardeners contributed a net in-kind donation of $165,122 to Okaloosa County. Packet Pg. 100 MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS LAST YEAR (4-H): Ø Okaloosa County 4-H reached 1,574 youth through clubs, camps, day camps, school enrichment, and after-school programs in 2013. These youth learned science, engineering and technology, healthy living, leadership and citizenship skills. Young people in 4-H report better grades, higher levels of academic competence, an elevated level of engagement at school, and are 2 times more likely to plan to go to college to pursue a degree in science, engineering, or computer technology than their peers.

Ø Eight hundred seventy youth demonstrated knowledge and understanding of ecosystem function and plant care techniques by successfully raising 1000 Sea Oat plants during the school year and successfully restored 5000 square feet of coastal dune system. Ø The Marine Agent worked with a regional team to host the Artificial Reef Regional Workshop, educating 273 participants on updated reef and fisheries practices, new tools and materials and creating an open forum for program leaders.

They reported savings of $125,444, monthly savings goals of $1925 and $5500 had been paid on debt. Mass media outreach included billboards, newspaper, radio, TV and web, with an estimated 6 million contacts.
