| Hello/Intro Agritainm Return to index of stories... |
You're looking at scenes from Apple Hill Farm in Concord-- our latest stop as we take the program on the road to connect with you in your community. Hello, I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. Agriculture. It's big business in New Hampshire. The industry brings in more than 935-million dollars. Apple orchards, like this one, account for a small piece of the pie. The Agriculture Industry continues to change -- as farms and growers look to compete in a global economy. To stay competitive -- many are re-inventing the way they do business. |

NATSOUND: music from applecrest band, people having fun, buying things at the farm TRACK: Farming in New Hampshire and around New England is turning into what some are calling "agritourism" -- a unique and entertaining farming experience. In order to help make ends meet some farms are becoming destinations offering things to see and do as well as produce and gifts to buy. SOT: Ben Wagner Applecrest Farm We try to do everything imaginable to try to get people to buy apples. We have all the activities you see here, we have pick your own apples, pumpkins, make your own scarecrow, press your own cider, take a horse drawn hayride, roasted corn, applepie and icecream. And then we have our live bands on Saturday and Sunday. NATSOUND: more music with activities TRACK: Applecrest Farm Orchards in Hampton Falls used to rely on wholesale revenues for 90-percent of its income. That's now down to less than 20-percent. SOT: Ben Wagner Applecrest Farm The demand for wholesale apples from our orchard as well as others has diminished greatly to make up for it to find a home for our apples. we had over 200 acres of apples and you dont need 200 acres to do retail you only need 50 to 75 acres so that's been a huge change. Also, more and more young people with families are anxious to bring their children out to the country to experience the good old days so we try to give them a touch of that. TRACK: This new kind of enterprise is characterized by a close link between producer and consumer, and to help establish that relationship, some farmers are turning to new technology. Charlie Moulton and Frank Clay started up a website to help sell their maple products. SOT: Charlie Moulton NH Gold We always marketed our syrup here at the farm and had a few wholesale markets out in the area. But when the website avenue came along to market our syrup, we looked at that and thought well here's something in the future and as we looked at that harder, my partner Frank, who has alot of ability in that technical world, helped me put the website together, the two of us. SOT: Frank Clay NH Gold As it first started we were slow and learning how the web works and how to get the hits and get the customers to come. Orders started to slowly come in and they'd come in bunches and over the 2nd yr its grown quite a bit and we have regular orders coming in all the time now so we're really pleased. And we've continued to improve upon the web site and add new things and new ideas and we are constantly looking for oportunities that may present themselves. TRACK: NH Gold's Internet business has boomed since we first spoke with company owners. So much so, they decided to simplify their lives and they just shut down their traditional retail store. SOT: Chuck 4:15-4:26 Family farms are certainly under stress, but if you're willing to change and think outside the box, I think there's a future, I really do. TRACK Here at Apple Hill Farm, Chuck and Diane Souther have been thinking outside the box for nearly thirty years. SOT Chuck We wanted to do something tangible on the land. My wife and I wanted to work together. It just seemed like a good thing. It's a great life. TRACK Still, economic realities in New Hampshire have forced family farms to evolve. Author Helen Brody believes it's a message that needs sharing. So she visited Apple Hill farm and 29 others in the Granite State to profile for her book, From Farm to Kitchen. SOT HELEN The goal of the book is to visit the farms, but more than that. to promote agriculture in the state. BROLL TO COVER HERE SOT HELEN The way that farms are going to survive is finding a nitch market and that's what all of the farms I've chosen have done. SOT CHUCK We've got an English cooking apple. It's another thing we do here to get people here. Come here and get something different….they can go to the grocery store to get their food they come here to get something different. * TRACK The farm also specializes in Black currants, rarely grown in this area. SOT CHUCK We kind of got hooked on them in Europe it seemed like a good drink to buy wow this is great! That's what got us started on it. SOT HELEN And when I heard they were growing black currants, which is very rare around here that's another reason I visited this farm. SOT CHUCK It's a small berry if you popped it in your mouth if you cooked it up they have a unique flavor. Very fruity flavor. TRACK The fruity flavor is captured in a family recipe for black currant jelly that Diane shared with Helen for the book's recipe section. Here they cook up a batch. SOT Dianne Now it's just beginning to simmer. it's getting thicker runny at this stage because of the heat. SOT We're at the point now that we can pour some in. Seal it up tight. SOT HELEN It's a labor of love, because it is very, very time consuming thing. it's just delicious. SOT DIANE Any time I can represent NH and the cooking I do, I I think it's great. The black courants are definitely unique to our area. and I'm more than willing to share. that's one thing we do here at the farm is sharing recipes. SOT T1 HELEN Honestly, every farm we visited, they have been so welcoming and great, great people, and I just think the word needs to get out, that's all. |

Much of New England suffered thru a wet spring -- and when it comes to apples, or any crop WEATHER is always a huge factor. Joining us at the Apple Hill Farm, Steve Taylor, NH's Commissioner of Agriculture. Q Overall how are crops faring this FALL? Can we expect a good APPLE season? what about PUMPKINS? Q Not much you can do When WEATHER deals you a bad hand. What are farmers doing to stay current and profitable? more agri-tourism, if you will? Q Have to talk about the E-Coli Spinach Scare. Which lead to SHOPPERS changing their buying habits. What IMPACT did they have on LOCAL spinach growers? Does locally=grown PRODUCE benefit -- or, do shoppers not DISCRIMINATE? people know where it's coming from and how it's produced Q Is NH continuing to lose its farms and farmland? Should we be worried.what impact would that have on the state's economy? STEVE TAYLOR |
| Intro Graymist - Tuttle Return to index of stories... |
Small, family-run dairy farms have been forced to come up with creative ways to diversify their business in order to survive. We first visited one such farm in Groveton in 2002. Outlook's Susan Hajdu has that story. |
| Graymist TuttleFeature Return to index of stories... |
Kelly 1-7:22ish "There have been so many farms that have gone out, especially up here. I hate to see that happen to us." Narr 1: Kelly Gray grew up working on this 500 acre farm with her four siblings. It's a family-owned business that began as a dairy operation. Her sense of environmental stewardship and love of farming are strong. But it wasn't always that way. Kelly 1-3:09 3:20 "We always had to help out, my sister, one of my sisters who is close to the same age as me always had chores to do, feeding calves was our job, and cleaning out the barn. At the time we hated it, at the time we wanted to be anywhere but here." Narr 2: But, as time passed, so did those feelings. After high school, Kelly left Groveton and headed south to Durham, where she studied horticulture at the University of New Hampshire. She graduated in 1997 and returned to Graymist Farm with a new vision. Gordon 3:23:30ish "She has a lot of practical ideas, hands-on ideas that she got from college, which is good. Things we can take right out there and we can put to work." Nancy 4-33:20ish "We put up the greenhouse to start most of the vegetables. We used to purchase them and put them in the garden but she wanted to start her own. It just amazed me, when we went out there when she telling me what to do, how to fertilize, and it really impressed me what she had learned, all the hands-on stuff. And she knew exactly what she was doing and how to start everything from seed." Stand-up: 5-05:45 to 5:55 While the dairy is the foundation of Graymist Farm, economic pressures have led the family to diversity by operating a composting business and growing a wide variety of vegetables. Kelly 1- 10:035 "We have started to grow more of a variety of things that aren't traditionally seen in supermarkets around here, specialty things like hot peppers. You might have it or you might not. Or, even baby corn or snow peas or baby eggplant, something that you'd find in supermarkets in the southern part of the state that, up here, maybe it's a little harder to come by." Gordon 3-24:11 "She has also gotten a business degree, which is real helpful. She started in marketing and ended up in business - the combination of that has been excellent. She has a bunch of marketing ideas that we are hoping to do in the future. And, just business in general, keeping track, she has done a lot with spreadsheets, tracking sales and customers, what goes on day to day, things that we never looked at." Nancy 3-31:46 "She also worked while she was at Plymouth State getting her business degree. She worked at a pretty good size supermarket in the Plymouth area. And watching what people bought there gave her the idea that maybe we should be bagging lettuce, and mesculin, and making our own coleslaw. That has really been a big addition, they really like the convenience of that, she has really seen a big difference in sales." Kelly 1-14:00ish "With our stand, too, we've found that just offering vegetables, we do well, but if we have other things like maple syrup, and honey, other types of products, even gift shop type products, we've done better and had more people coming in, spending more time looking around, and spending more money, too. So I think diversification is something that we need to continually look at and keep on top of." Narr 3: Diversification extends beyond what is grown in these fields. With 100 cows, there are a lot of by-products. And what's waste to some has become profit for Graymist. Gordon 4-30:40ish "We have a lot of manure here, and bedding, and I started mixing it and playing with it, and over the years got better at it." Narr 4: Last spring, the family sold 350 cubic yards of odorless, organic compost to area vegetable growers, home gardeners and landscapers. Gordon 4-25:00 "The demand is there. It's just our time to make the compost and time to deliver it. So it's a good problem to have but it can be frustrating in the spring when we are trying to get vegetable crops in, as well as field crops. That's when everybody wants their compost." Narr 5: As the Grays look for new ways to stay profitable, their long term goal is keep the farm family-owned. Gordon 3-26:50 "We'd love to have someone in the family keep it going, obviously as long as it's economically feasible. And as far as the vegetables go, I think it is, that has done well." Nancy 3-30:30 " What has Kelly brought to the farm? Enthusiasm and a desire to keep the farm going and keep it in the family. She has a lot of really good ideas of what we can do for the future. She wants to be a part of that. Of all the kids, she the one who seems most centered to the farm." For NH OUtlook, I'm Susan H. |

Innovation and the environment It was also TOP OF MIND for a group of NH students over the summer. With high gas prices the students turned to alternative fuel for their 7-thousand mile trip to California. How did they do it? Outlook's Phil Vaugn met up with one of the students to find out. |

N3- Aislinn Johnson is a UNH student. Last spring she and a friend shared a dream. Aislinn holding photo - this is me and my friend Sarah Aislinn 900/918 "Originally we wanted to see the country. We are both in college and don't have a lot of money - we wanted to do it as cheaply as possible." N4- So, they bought a van - this van for 300 dollars. Aislinn 1849 "We wanted it because it's diesel." N5- And large enough to move Aislinn, Sarah, and two friends from NH to California. Aislinn 1905 "So that's why we wanted it and we wanted to convert it to vegetable oil." Slo-mo shot of veg oil N6- Vegetable oil - the same kind you cook with. Aislinn 1955 "Originally the purpose was to see the country but when we found out about vegetable oil we changed our purpose and made it an educational trip." N7- About alternative fuels and global warming. Michael 3922 - "You have much lower greenhouse gas emissions - potentially zero greenhouse gas emissions." N8 - Michael Briggs teaches at the University of NH. He's part of the Biodiesel Group researching alternative fuels. Michael 4121 "The vegetable oil, when you burn it you still get carbon dioxide out the tail pipe the difference is the carbon that comes from that oil came from plant matter - as those plants grew the carbon that's in them came from the atmosphere so there's no net release from burning the vegetable oil itself. So you have no net greenhouse gas emissions." Aislinn 1935/810 "It's easy to convert a car to vegetable oil. Our mechanic did the conversion for free we just had to pay for the parts. The parts cost 450 dollars." N9- Vegetable oil will burn only in diesel engines. Aislinn 2210 "You have to drive for 10 minutes off diesel before you can switch to vegetable oil." Micheal 4305 - "What you want to do is heat up the oil to reduce its viscosity. So, you modify the vehicle by adding a second fuel tank and heating the oil with the car's coolant system." N10 - The Canola Strolla, as they call the van, already had two fuel tanks when Aisleen bought it. Aislinn 3715/2210 "This is the vegetable oil tank and that is the diesel tank - the fuels never mix. There's a toggle switch in the front of the van and when you want to switch between the two fuels just flip the switch." N11 - The cross-country trip began in early summer. Aislinn and her friends were on the road to enlighten all who would listen to them about global warming and alternative fuels. Aislinn 1145 "We met people who were willing to support us and help us spread the word." N12 And along the way they had to search for fuel in unconventional places. Sound of traveling shot Aislinn 1326 "In the beginning it was tough because we'd waste a lot of time looking for restaurants." N13 - Fast food joints weren't very helpful. Smaller restaurants were. Aislinn 1354/410 "We realized that Asian grease was the best." Shot of Thai Cuisine/Aislinn collects oil N14 - This is Aislinn's favorite fuel stop in Dover. Aislinn 205/3848 "What happens is the restaurants get oil in containers like this and when the oil gets dirty they dump it back in and I come around and pick it up. These are the filters - pour oil in and collects crumbs, fries and other particles." Restaurant owner 550/612 "I was surprised - didn't know that people would do such a thing. It makes so our garbage can not so full by the end of the week so it helps me and everyone else." N15 - The Canola Strolla made it to the coast and back - well before summer's end. Aislinn 2030 "The trip was about 7000 miles." N16 - The travelers spent less than 500 dollars on diesel fuel during a season of record high prices. The vegetable oil was free. Aislinn 2045 "There were no challenges burning vegetable oil, the van loves it - it ran better." Shot of Aislinn and Tom walking to van N17 Aislinn is back in school. She has sold the van to Portsmouth filmmaker Tom Jackson. He'll be taking the Canola Strolla and his latest film on tour. Tom 2500 "I'm going to be taking the film production which is about global warming and things we can do and be going to colleges and universities and showing it and talking about what we can do. One of which is driving alt fuel vehicles." Aislinn 2320 "I'm thrilled tom is buying the van because he's going to teach people about important issues that are important to me too." N18 - But the question remains - how practical is all of this? Aislinn 2800 Burning vegetable oil may not be practical for many people but if you want to change vegetable oil into bio-diesel that is practical." Michael 3737 "Biodiesel is where you take vegetable oil and you alter it into something else. It's a different chemical than vegetable oil. So you go through a chemical process where you are breaking apart the vegetable oil molecules and producing a bio-diesel so you don't have the problem of needing to start up on another fuel and heating the vegetable oil." Shots of UNH bio-diesel event N19 - Last summer, the state introduced bio-diesel to some of their pumps at UNH, in Durham. There are more than dozen bio-diesel outlets in the state. Briggs believes we're 5 to 10 years away from producing large supplies of bio-fuel. The biggest challenge for producers, he says, is to compete with oil companies. Michael 4427 "So if a company started building processing plants to produce bio diesel much cheaper than gas - the price of oil would decrease to the point it needs to force out competition." N20 - But for Tom and Aislinn, the future of alternative fuels is more than a dream. Aislinn 30 "The trip was a dream that we came up with and we didn't want to keep it as a dream we wanted make it come true and not say what if - we made that possible. It's an incredible thing to follow your dream and make it happen." N21 - For NH Outlook, I'm Phil Vaughn. |

| Are You in Pain Return to index of stories... |
Are you in pain? From my experience, pain can be physical emotional or spiritual. Pain can keep you from being productive, sleeping well, enjoying family and friends. Pain can make you feel afraid or depressed. You are not alone. Pain can be managed. I learned how to reduce my pain, it took some time, and I did find the right kind of help. You can find the right kind of help, too. Start by talking to your doctor. For more information about the New Hampshire Pain Initiative, log on to www.NHHPCO.org/NHPI.htm |
