Fatigue. Mr. Webster defines fatigue as mental or physical exhaustion. Who in our industry is not mentally and physically tired right now? It is difficult today not to succumb to the general weariness we all feel during these tumultuous economic times. The U.S. credit rating was downgraded from an AAA rating to AA+ rating. Simply stated, after a chain of events, the opinion of Standard and Poor’s 500 on the general

credit worthiness of the United States government is no longer worthy of carrying its highest rating.

How does this relate to us as an industry? It certainly does not instill confidence in our government. It brings up questions such as: Are we headed for a double-dip recession? When will the economy turn around now? With the federal interest rates promised to stay near zero for another two years, will banks continue to constrict the availability of money to small businesses (when they can continue to make 2-4% on Treasury bills with little to no risk)?

It brings me back to fatigue. It’s difficult not to be tired and want to throw in the towel some days. It may be difficult to justify spending money on Association dues when it’s hard enough simply to find new landscape jobs, new customers, more sales, or even make the week’s payroll. “Why should I join FNGLA and what am I getting for my dues?” It’s a question some of us hear often and for the last three years it’s one being asked more and more. As our membership numbers show, it makes one wonder what’s the correct answer?

I’m surprised at how often past, current, and contemplative members ask this question. This week alone I was approached three times: two phone calls and a letter faxed to my office. Last week, it was posed to me by two members in person. All of these members have different stories and virtually all of them are fatigued. They are questioning their own futures and looking to this Association for answers. As a new year for FNGLA begins, we need to have solid answers for the new leaders that are coming on board as Chapter officers and volunteers.

Now, you may be wondering how I’ve answered them. I wish I could tell you that I had a silver bullet answer for all of them. I wish I knew the correct response with absolute conviction. Then I could deliver a succinct, convincing answer every time so everyone would pass it on, instilling further confidence in all current, past and potential members. If I could do so, then who could resist joining such a tremendous and powerful Association?

Unfortunately, and truthfully, it’s not possible for me to do this. Every answer I’ve given has been different. Each of our members is different and unique in our own ways. FNGLA means and brings something different to each of us. Like our family, our friends, our church, our country, or our jobs, each of these things carries stronger implications to each of us. Each of us weighs and ranks these convictions, values, and entities differently.

You may think it’s too much to throw association in there with the likes of family, church, friends and country. Perhaps it is. However, this Association itself is providing a daily service that is difficult to quantify financially. It protects our nursery and landscape industry from too much government in some instances -- and not enough government in others. FNGLA offers a common sense approach to our state legislators who look to our industry itself for answers on thorny issues, such as our immigrant workforce and local fertilizer ordinances. On a federal level, FNGLA fights for a common sense approach to an affordable crop insurance program that does not cost a second mortgage, baffle an MIT math team to calculate, or allow us an option other than a complete and utter catastrophic event that wipes an entire business operation off the map. FNGLA is much like the insurance we all pay every day for the many different facets of our lives and businesses: It’s sometimes tough to pay annually, but you’re sure glad you have it when you need it.

We have many other tangible benefits as well. Go to our website www.fngla.org and click on membership, then “Why Should I Join” button for a list of tangible benefits. However, ask yourself at the end, what does it mean to me to be a part of FNGLA? Then ask yourself the question, what can I do to help make a difference in this Association and our industry?

I don’t write any of these answers above to “sell” more memberships. This is not a silver tongued approach or a politically correct message I’m trying to deliver to the membership today. I speak from the heart in regards to the horticultural industry and FNGLA. I’m unable to reply to the question straightforward, “why should I join” for those who seek a response or for those of you looking for answers to pass on. True, it’s difficult to justify asking people for their hard-earned money for any association today. Yet, I do believe in the cause. I believe in each and every member who steps forward and joins annually and wants to make a difference. I truly believe in FNGLA’s motto: “In unity, there is strength.”

Yes, I’m fatigued, yet I believe our economy will stabilize and strengthen again. When asked the question, I always ask back, “What do you want from FNGLA?” Then the conversation flows from there. If someone takes the time to ask that question, then it shows they care. They deserve an honest, open answer. If people are searching for answers, then they’re committed on a level. They’re taking the time to determine if this is the best fit for them. I believe in each and every member who has been a part of this Association for many years and I thank them. I am thankful there are so many FNGLA members out there today who still care and want to make a difference. We’re all fatigued, yet we all shall press on and continue to make a difference in our industry.

Very Respectfully,

Halsey W. BeshearsFNGLA President

These results are softened by last year’s results showing record-breaking growth. Additional findings include:Reasons for Gardening: Three in ten consumers cite beautifying their surroundings as their primary reason for gardening. Environmental Concerns: Nearly three in four (73%) of gardeners are concerned about the environmental impact of products they buy.Recycling: Consumers were asked about their likelihood to recycle while maintaining or modifying their lawn or garden:

NEWS & CERTIFICATION

Applications Being Accepted for Orlando FNGLA Certified Landscape Maintenance Technician ExamFNGLA’s landscape certifications return to Orlando in 2011. Join FNGLA and Sea World Parks & Entertainment for FNGLA’s Certified Landscape Maintenance Technician (FCLMT) exam on Saturday, October 22nd.

The FCLMT exam links closely to BMPs – Florida Friendly Best Management Practices for Protection of Water Resources by the Green Industries. Exam applications must demonstrate proficiency in: Plant ID, Integrated Pest Management, Fertilization, Vehicle Operation, Irrigation Maintenance & Repair, Pruning, Quality Control, and Turf Management.

Applications for the exam will be accepted through September 30th. Complete information about the exam – and a short 10-minute video that describes FNGLA’s certification programs – can be found on the certification section of FNGLA’s website, www.fngla.org.

New Mini-Grants to Help Florida Teachers use School Gardens for EducationFlorida Agriculture in the Classroom is offering a new grants program to help educate Florida’s students about the importance of agriculture. The program will provide 222 $500 mini-grants that must go toward creating or improving a school garden that grows Florida fruits and vegetables.

Certified, general education Florida teachers and agri-science teachers engaged in classroom instruction at the pre-kindergarten through 12th grade level are eligible. The grants will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Proposals can be submitted through the Florida Agriculture in the Classroom website beginning Sept. 1 until the grant funds are depleted. More information will be available online Sept. 1. Teachers who receive the grant will receive a copy of Florida Agriculture in the Classroom’s new resource, Gardening for Grades.

The full-color, 142-page book was written for educators and shows teachers the entire process of starting and maintaining a classroom or schoolyard garden. The book helps teachers decide what types of plants, fruits and vegetables to plant depending on their location, and it includes guidance on using the garden to teach core subject areas. There are a dozen lessons and activities in the book that show teachers how to use the garden to teach language arts, math, science and social studies concepts.

Gardening for Grades will be offered free to Florida teachers, thanks to a partnership with the Florida Department of Education’s Office of Healthy Schools and Food & Nutrition Management Section. Teachers can order the book from the Florida Agriculture in the Classroom website.

Florida Agriculture in the Classroom’s primary source of funding is from sales of the specialty license plate known as the “Ag Tag.” Ag Tag money is being used for this project as well. Workshops will be held throughout the state in the fall of 2011 to train teachers on how to use the book.

For more information on this press release, contact Florida Agriculture in the Classroom Executive Director Lisa Gaskalla at 352-846-1391 or visist www.FAITC.com.
