Georgia Farm Bureau members celebrate 85 years at annual convention
MACON The Georgia Farm Bureau celebrated its 85th anniversary during the group's annual convention held on Dec. 4-6 on Jekyll Island. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp noted accomplishments in agriculture during the past year and looked forward to 2023.
Over 1,400 delegates attended the convention and tradeshow this month with the theme "85 Years and Growing." The theme offered delegates a chance to look back at the work of the GFB since it began in 1937 while also celebrating new ag development and awareness programs.
Kemp acknowledged the importance of Georgia farmers, saying, "Agriculture is our No. 1 industry. I know that and won't forget it." He also thanked Commissioner of Agriculture Gary Black for his 12 years of service in leading the Georgia Department of Agriculture and building the Georgia Grown brand for products made in the Peach State.
Kemp touted the successes from the 2022 General Assembly session with the Right to Farm Act, expanding the ag elementary education program, and the passing of Senate Bill 396, which establishes the framework for Georgia food banks to purchase fresh produce directly from Georgia farmers.
"Senate Bill 396 empowers us to fully utilize the Georgia Farm to Food Bank Pro-

gram. In a time when Georgians are facing record-high inflation, more Georgians are facing food insecurity. Some Georgia farmers have trouble getting all their crops to market. Senate Bill 396 connects food banks directly with farmers to give more Georgians access to fresh food and vegetables."
Kemp said the Georgia General Assembly invested $800,000 in the program for the current fiscal year, acknowledging outgoing Rep. Terry England, who chaired the House Appropriations Committee.
GFB President Tom McCall delivered his annual address during the general session and
discussed the significant changes Georgia farmers have seen in the past 85 years.
"Our advancement in technology is mind-blowing from the early days of steelwheeled tractors, like my granddaddy bought new in 1934, to tractors that drive themselves using Global Positioning System satellites. Technology has improved our lives and made us more efficient and productive." McCall said. "It's hard to grasp what agriculture may look like in 85 years, but I believe strongly that Georgia Farm Bureau must continue our work in making it better, just like those original farmers did for us."
The delegates also honored Black, who is completing 12 years as Georgia commissioner of agriculture and heard from Commissioner of Agriculture-elect Tyler Harper. Black began his career at Georgia Farm Bureau as its Young Farmers and Ranchers coordinator, then led the Georgia Agribusiness Council before being elected ag commissioner in 2010.
McCall presented Black with an honorary lifetime membership in recognition of his contributions to Georgia agriculture.
With his usual dry wit, Black shared lessons from serving in and running for public office. These lessons included: being prepared to work hard once you're in office and

GDA launches newly designed website next month

The new year will bring a new look to the Georgia Department of Agriculture online with a complete redesign of the department's website, www.agr.georgia.gov, which promises to be more accessible and easier to navigate across different devices.
The change to the new design is scheduled for the first week of January, which will be the first significant redesign of the GDA website since 2011. William Rutherford, GDA chief information officer, explained the age of the current website is evident in how information is organized.
"This is a long overdue project, and we are excited to give our citizens and customers a new, improved avenue to communicate with the department and gain knowledge regarding our programs," Rutherford said.
The current website is organized more like an organizational chart; visitors need to know which GDA division does the service they are looking for, like licensing or food recall announcements. The new design was done with customer experience as a priority, according to Maris Wynn, GDA information technology manager.
"The focus for this new design is for our customers to get the information they need as quickly as possible," Wynn said.
The current website has drop-down menus that list the 18 GDA divisions. The new website will reorganize the divisions into six service areas Animals, Food and Fuel, Plants and Soil, Pest Control, Agribusiness, and Ag Programs along with a News/ About menu.
GDA Information Technology Division partnered with Mediacurrent, a web development and design company based in Alpharetta, Ga., to create the new website. IT managers and Mediacurrent surveyed GDA employees and customers to find the essen-

tial needs of everyone using the website. The survey results showed that the largest
use of the public visiting the GDA website is licensing, so a link to the Licensing Division is at the top of the home page. The link to licensing will be on every page of the website.
The web designers also looked at the websites of other state departments of agriculture to get a sense of what functions worked and could be applied to the GDA website.
The Market Bulletin page will also get a makeover. Subscribers will access their account page with a "Subscriber Login" button at the top of the screen. Three other buttons offer visitors choices to advertise, subscribe and renew their subscription. The login page will remain the same, along with content pages to search, place ads and view electronic versions of the current issue and Bulletin

Mercer Medical Moment: Subtle Signs of a Heart Attack in Women
By Melanie Shoemaker Third-year MD student
Mercer University School of
Medicine
In the United States, someone experiences a heart attack once every 40 seconds. While the classic signs of uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, or pain in the center of the chest will quickly compel you to visit the emergency room, heart attacks do not always present this. Moreover, about 1 in 5 heart attacks are silent, meaning the person is unaware that damage has occurred. Silent heart attacks are especially prevalent in women, who are more likely to experience less common signs of heart attack. Being unaware of these subtle signs can lead to a delay in life-saving treatment and worse outcomes. Some of the signs of a heart attack that are more common in women include:
Chest pain or pressure: Chest pain or pressure is the most common symptom of a heart attack in women.
Dull ache in the chest: Instead of a sharp and sudden pain in the chest, heart attacks can feel more like a dull ache in the chest.
Pain in the arm: Chest pain or pressure is typically accompanied by pain that radiates down the left arm, but it can include both arms.
Back or jaw pain: Stress to your heart can be felt in your back or jaw. It may be your heart if you have a backache or jaw pain unrelated to any apparent injury.
Shortness of breath: If you feel out of breath while doing activities that generally would not cause you to breathe hard, it could signify a heart attack.
Nausea and vomiting: While nausea and vomiting are common symptoms of many illnesses, they can also signify a heart attack in some women. Women often attribute these symptoms to acid reflux, the
flu, or normal aging. However, when it comes to heart attacks,
every second counts. Heart attacks occur when a blood clot blocks the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your heart muscle. Consequently, your heart cannot get the oxygen it needs to pump blood to the rest of your body. The longer the heart muscle is deprived of oxygen, the more likely the damage will be permanent. Irreversible damage from a heart attack begins within 30 minutes of the blockage. This damage can cause lifelong disability and overall lower quality of life. Therefore, it is vital to seek medical attention as soon as you suspect a heart attack.
It is also equally important to work to reduce the risk of heart disease and heart attack. Start by eating a well-balanced diet that incorporates a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, and healthy protein sources. Additionally, aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity daily, and avoid smoking. Adopting a nutritious diet, exercising regularly, and not smoking can reduce the risk of heart attack by up to 90 percent.

taking responsibility for everything that happens in the office you lead.
"You own everything. Not your staff, not your spokesperson, and not your political spokesperson," Black said.
Black also told delegates another important lesson: trying not to lose is the enemy of winning. "Playing defense is the opposite of winning," he said. "The future will demand that we all step up."
Harper said agriculture has great potential and is an exciting time for the state's farmers despite the challenges they face.
Harper, a seventh-generation farmer from Irwin County, touted some of agriculture's biggest legislative victories: the Georgia Agricultural Tax Exemption and the Freedom to Farm Act. He stressed that constituent engagement would be key to pushing forward to support Georgia's farmers in other ways.
"We've got to work that together to ensure that agriculture continues to thrive, to ensure that your business and your industry every day continues to thrive," Harper said, "We can do that as a team."
Harper celebrated Georgia's establishment of elementary school agricultural education programs. He noted that Georgia is the first state with ag education available from kindergarten to adulthood, a crucial effort to ensure that agricultural businesses can thrive and that consumers understand the origins of their food.
In support of education, Harper said it's also essential to continue the expansion of broadband internet availability. Harper closed by emphasizing agriculture as a national security issue.
American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall touched on supporting the military, surviving trade wars and
the COVID-19 pandemic, waters of the U.S. regulation, labor, input costs, California's Proposition 12 and mental health issues.
Looking ahead, Duvall said one of the biggest challenges is that almost half of Congress 260 representatives and senators is either new or has been in office less than four years and has never been part of writing a farm bill. Duvall emphasized that while AFBF can make contacts and present the organization's stance on policy issues, the real power lies in members contacting their members of Congress and sharing how the farm bill has helped them.
"They need to know you are the geniuses, you are the experts," he said. "You are the ones they need to hear it from. Because when you tell them that story because when we're engaged with Farm bureau at that level, we can make things happen."

GFB announces 2023 Board of Directors
GFB members install new officers, re-appoint others to leadership
MACON Georgia Farm Bureau (GFB) voting delegates elected the organization's 2023 board of directors on Dec. 6 during the 85th Annual GFB Convention on Jekyll Island.
GFB voting delegates re-elected Tom McCall to a second, two-year term. He was first elected in 2020. McCall and his family grow various grain crops, sweet corn, hay and straw, along with beef cattle, hogs and sheep on their farm in Fortsonia in Elbert County. He and his wife, Jane, have two adult children: Al (wife Rachel) and Katie M. Archer (husband Bristol), two grandsons and one granddaughter. McCall has been a Farm Bureau member since 1978.
GFB members in the organization's south region re-elected Daniel Johnson of Pierce County to a third, three-year term representing their 53-county region in the southern third of the state as GFB South Georgia vice president. All GFB voting delegates designated Johnson to serve as GFB 1st vice president from among the organization's three regional vice presidents. The GFB first vice president would be tapped to lead the organization should the president be unable to serve.
Johnson, who grows tobacco, corn, cotton and peanuts, previously represented the organization's 10th District on the GFB Board of Directors from 2006-2016. He is vice president of Pierce County Farm Bureau and previously served as PCFB president for 25 years. Johnson chairs the Georgia Agricultural Commodity Commission for Tobacco. He and his wife, Patricia, have four children and three grandchildren.
Ralph Caldwell of Heard County begins the second year of his three-year term as GFB Middle Georgia vice president, that members in the organization's Middle Georgia Region elected him last year. The GFB Middle Georgia Region includes 56 county Farm Bureaus in the middle third of Georgia, stretching from the Alabama line to Georgia's coast.
Caldwell and his wife, Kim, farm with his father, Gwen, raising poultry and cattle while growing corn and soybeans. The couple's son, Colton, who is married to Delayna, helps on the farm when he isn't at his law practice. Caldwell, a preacher for over 30 years, is currently serving as a fill-in pastor for area churches.
Bernard Sims of Catoosa County begins the third year of
his fifth, three-year term as the GFB North
Georgia vice president. The GFB North Geor-
gia Region includes 49 county Farm Bureaus
in the northern third of Georgia. Sims serves
as the Catoosa County Farm Bureau president,
a position he has held since 1979. Sims and his
wife, Janet, grow turf grass, small grains and
hay and raise cattle. The Simses have two sur-
viving adult children and eight grandchildren.

Georgia Cooking: Collard Greens Georgia style
As a traditional southern staple, there are many a twists on the time-honored classic collard green recipe. While these fibrous leafy greens are available yearround, collard greens are at their prime from January to June! High in vitamin A, C, K and B6, collards are also a rich source for manganese as well as calcium and iron.
Ingredients 2-3 meaty ham hocks
(1 to 1 lbs.) 2 medium sweet onions,
chopped 4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 quarts of chicken stock 3 lbs. collard greens Apple cider vinegar, to taste Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions In a large pot, combine ham hocks, chopped onions, minced garlic and chicken stock. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for 2/3 hours. Once tender, remove ham hocks from chicken stock, pull meat from bones and chop into small chunks. Discard bones and fat and return chopped ham hocks to the chicken stock. Chop collard greens
into desired thickness and add to the chicken stock. Return to a simmer and cook uncovered for 45 to 50 minutes (or desired
tenderness). Season with salt, pepper and apple cider vinegar to taste.

Market Watch: Sutherland's Foodservice celebrates 75 years of service
By Jay Jones jay.jones@arg.georgia.gov
Sutherland's Foodservice started 75 years ago when A.W. Sutherland ripped out the back seat of his car to deliver eggs wholesale to customers. Bonnie Wilson said her grandfather got to know his customers very well, which she believed was vital in keeping the business going. She added that the same friendly service is still essential today.
"That is how we grew from eggs to chickens, cheese, turkeys, and then into the grocery business. One of our customers said, `Y'all already do a good job for us this way; we need a new supplier for this. Are you interested?'" Wilson said. "That is what we try to look at every day. How can we make it better for this community, our team members, our customers and our vendors."
Today, Sutherland's has about 77 employees and runs distribution out of the Atlanta State Farmers Market in Forest Park. The business has stayed in the family. A.W. started it as Sutherland's Produce. J.E. "Gene" Sutherland, Sr. worked for his father at the start, and he became president when his father retired in the 1970s.
The company became Sutherland's Foodservice in the 1990s to reflect the company's expanded product line. Gene's children run the company today: Gene, Jr. is president, with his sisters Bonnie Wilson and Connie Hopkins as vice presidents.
Sutherland's also shares its history with the Atlanta Farmers Market. The company started just down the street from the market's original location in downtown Atlanta. They followed the market when it moved to the Murphy Triangle at Murphy Avenue and Sylvan Road in southwest Atlanta in 1941. The company moved to its current location in Forest Park, with the new market opened in 1958.
Sutherland's started out selling eggs, and their first customer was Kroger. They expanded to poultry, produce, meats, packaged foods

company in 1947 near the corner of Trinity Ave.
and Washington St., just down the street from the
original Atlanta State Farmers Market. (Special

and other products and delivered to restaurants and grocery stores across Georgia and neighboring states.
Gene Sutherland, Sr. was well-known across Georgia and in his community. He was recognized for his leadership in the poultry and egg industry and was inducted into the Georgia Agricultural Hall of Fame in 2011. He served on the state boards such as the Agricultural Exposition Authority, which oversees the Georgia National Fairgrounds and locally as a member of the governing boards of Woodward Academy and Piedmont College.
Gene, Jr. said his father could get along with anyone he met and was willing to help. Bonnie said the "why not?" approach her father developed through the years was part

of the company's success. "He had so many different resources to draw from and be a resource to other people," Bonnie said.
"When people thought about things, they would say, `Let's call Gene and see if Sutherland's can do it," she said. "We're thankful for that because every time our business grew in a big leap, it was usually from somebody we knew, a customer we already had who wanted us to handle something new for them."
Bonnie, Connie and Gene said working for their father at the farmers market growing up helped them learn about the business and appreciate hard work.
"He was pretty tough on us, but that's how he built the business. You have got to be here working. It took hard work and still does today," Gene said. "This is a hands-on business. There's just no other way around it. You talk
about farming; that is kind of what we are doing. We're just doing it up here on the concrete."
For the future, they said it comes back to what their grandfather and father did to start and build the business: hard work and serving customers with a personal touch. Gene said they instill those qualities in their employees. "We try to keep our employees engaged, not just with us. We want them engaged with our customers," Gene said.
"They (our customers) can always get us, but if they can't, our employees have that personal touch with them, and there's something to be said of that," Gene said. "At a lot of places, you're a number, and we don't want that. If we treated customers like a number, then we wouldn't still be in business. People still want that personal service."
