Georgia Grown members look for success in 2023

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@arg.georgia.gov
For many businesses, 2022 was a transition time from the effects caused by the Covid pandemic. After the shutdown in 2020 and then reopening in 2021, last year was expected to be a rebound year business-wise.
Agriculture saw continuing adjustments to the business landscape as the country's distribution network recovered. The following Georgia Grown members took a break from the Macon Shopping Showcase before Christmas to give their take on 2022 and what they hope for in the new year.
Kristina Madh, Cloudland Coffee Kristina Madh and her team at Cloudland Coffee roast coffee beans in the back of their store in Johns Creek. She started the business in 2015 and today offers several varieties of coffee wholesale, online and from their retail store.

She said 2022 was a good year overall.

10 0 t1h9A17nniv2e0r1s7ary Madh said she saw her business grow. "My sales definitely increased. The dynamics shifted from 2020 when we had so many online sales, then wholesale started going back up, so I would say it's more of a balance," Madh said.

The biggest challenge she faced last year

was the transport and shipping costs. Madh

said she hoped those expenditures would ad-

just for the better in 2023.

"I think the challenge will be from the

supply chain for me to get products to roast

and then to ship out my product to my cus-

tomers," she said. "I don't want to pass it all

onto my customers, but it will affect my prof-

it margins."

Madh said her goal this year is to spread outside or inside. The room also allows the

the word about her products. She attended Alberts to host events.

in Cobbtown in Tattnall County three years ago. They are getting help through the Georgia Grown Innovation Center in Metter, a business incubator focusing on agriculture. The GGIC is a partnership between Georgia Grown and Georgia Southern University.
"They are teaching us how to use our UPCs (bar codes on the packaging) and label our bags and what to put on them and how to make them pretty," Collins said. "I'm new in business, and this is our third year, so we got it going on. We are trying to get with the farmers' markets, so I'll have someone to sell my pecans."
She hopes to keep building the business and purchase a new pecan shelling machine
in the coming year. "We can then have our own operations
on the farm where my husband has lived all of his life, so we're making the farm better. When the next generation comes and picks it up and keeps it going," Collins said.

Georgia Grown trail to promote ag businesses in seven counties
By Jay Jones jay.jones@arg.georgia.gov

Travelers driving along US Highway 27 in northwest Georgia will soon see road signs designating the route as the state's newest Georgia Grown Trail. Businesses in the area see the route as a new way to promote agritourism there.
Georgia Grown Trail 27 was created by state legislators in 2021 and stretches from the Tennessee state line in Walker County through Catoosa, Chattooga, Floyd, Polk, Haralson, and Carroll Counties. The designation establishes the fifth Georgia Grown trail and the first in north Georgia.
"I think there is a huge movement for people to shop and eat more locally. For our area, it will bring to light the folks doing exactly that - providing services and food and homegrown products for consumers," said Lisa Smith, executive director of Georgia's Rome Office of Tourism.
"Sometimes, you may not know what is out there because you're not in that network.

Motorists along US Highway 27 in northwest Georgia will soon see more of these signs after the Georgia General Assembly designated the route as the fifth Georgia Grown Trail to promote agritourism in the region. (Special Photo)

I think it will be brought to light with this support local farms and producers and put

UGA researchers develop market for jellyfish proteins in Georgia

By Lillian Dickens University of Georgia CAES
The protein collagen can be extracted from cannonball jellyfish and used in dietary supplements and other areas, creating a U.S. market for jellyfish, according to a study led by researchers at the University of Georgia.
After trading complications halted the exportation of jellyfish from Georgia to China, industry officials reached out to UGA's Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant, who brought in the Department of Food Science and Technology and food process engineer Kevin Mis Solval, an assistant professor in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CAES).
Under the guidance of Mis Solval, CAES doctoral candidate Peter Chiarelli is studying how collagen peptides can be broken down into gelatin and powder form to make the product more marketable.
"The whole scope of our research is to see if we can pro-

duce food applications for U.S. consumers because no one wants to consume a whole jellyfish," said Chiarelli, lead researcher on the jellyfish project.
To gather jellyfish to use in this research, Mis Solval and Chiarelli worked with UGA Marine Extension agents to visit a Mexican jellyfish processing facility, where the group harvested jellyfish and took 3D images and videos of the facilities and their fishing operations.
Using these images and videos, the researchers built a virtual reality matrix to review the trip from their lab on the UGA Griffin campus.
The jellyfish originally used in this research were salted and dried before processing, but Chiarelli is now studying how fresh jellyfish can be used to make gelatin.
"I took over the project from another master's student, who developed the foundation to create the gelatin, so I further optimized the method that she created during my master's studies," explained Chiarelli. "We have been able to get some preliminary products for the fresh jellyfish gelatin, so what we're trying to do is remove the flavor notes. So when you're eating it, you're not tasting a fishy flavor or anything like that."
Chiarelli's goal for this research is to make jellyfish products "a household name," with an abundance of cannonball jellyfish off the Georgia coast and a variety of potential uses for jellyfish collagen.
In an interview about this research for Farm Monitor, Mis Solval explained that the gelatin produced from the collagen that is found in these jellyfish is water soluble and can be used as a food thickener.
The collagen could also be used in dietary supplements for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
With more application in the U.S. market, the shrimp industry in Georgia would also be able to benefit from harvesting the jellyfish.
"The fishermen here are excited about catching jellyfish, especially because jellyfish are more abundant during the off-season of shrimp," said Mis Solval. "They have an

opportunity to get more income during the off-season of shrimp catching. They are very excited to develop a bigger industry for cannonball jellyfish here in Georgia."

Georgia Cooking:
Chinese Southern Cocktail Meatballs with Sweet Chili Peach Glaze

Inspired by Natalie Keng and her sauces at Chinese Southern Belle, these are homemade meatballs that take advantage of an unlikely Southern ingredient: fresh, local, seasoned pan sausage. This recipe combines Natalie's Sweet Chili Peach sauce with Carroll's mild pan sausage to create a Chinese-inspired meatball, but one that is just as delicious and still suited to a slow cooker or multipot.
Ingredients 1 pound mild pan sausage cup finely chopped scallion, about
2 large scallions or 4 small ones cup finely chopped cilantro 1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh ginger 1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh garlic 1 1/2 tsps toasted sesame oil cup cooked rice tsp soy sauce 1 Tbsp Xiaoxing cooking wine or
cooking sherry Black pepper, about teaspoon 2 tsps canola oil, for browning 1 cup Chinese Southern Belle Sweet

Chili Peach sauce (for a sweeter glaze), or Soy Ginger Vidalia sauce 1 tsp corn starch Thinly sliced scallion, for garnish Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
Stovetop directions: Combine first 8 ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly to combine. Shape into ounce 1 ounce balls, place on a baking sheet, and refrigerate until ready to cook.
Place the cornstarch into a bowl large enough to hold two cups, then whisk 1 tablespoon of Sweet Chili Peach sauce into the cornstarch so there are no lumps. Whisk in the rest of the sauce into the cornstarch mixture, then set aside.
Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Brown meatballs in one layer, or in batches on two sides, about 10 minutes. Add sauce mixture, toss meatballs, and

bring to a boil for about 1 minute, then lower to a simmer, cover and cook for another 10 minutes. Remove the lid and let simmer uncovered for another 5 minutes. Toss again with the thickened sauce. Place on a serving dish and sprinkle with thinly sliced scallion and toasted sesame seeds. Serve hot, with toothpicks if desired.
Slow-cooker or Multipot directions: If using a slow cooker or multipot, first brown the meatballs in a skillet or with

Ania Rynarzewska, Lux Leonis
For six years, Ania Rynarzewska has made luxury soaps and face, hair and body care products with her business, Lux Leonis. Rynarzewska said supplies and shipping costs went up last year, which has been her biggest challenge.

business called Lu's Famous Cheese Straws three years ago. They make four flavors of straws - Asiago Basil, Classic Cheddar, Ghost Pepper, and Roasted Garlic and Herb. Their shortbreads come in different flavors, like Blueberry Delight and Honey Lavender, and they always try new flavors.
"After retirement age, we figured we would have a hobby, but the hobby has turned into a full-time job," Robert said.
About 2022, Robert said business was slow at the start of the year but is finished strong. They sell their product wholesale to outlets along the Georgia coast and in shops in Marietta and Clayton. Robert said they hope business continues going well.
"The biggest challenge is keeping up," he

But she has high hopes for 2023. She sees opportunities with hotels wanting their lines of care products. "Scent is a very strong reminder of good times," she said.
Rynarzewska also wants to build the wholesale side of her business and hire someone to help.
"Ultimately, I want to be on the management and design side and have someone else make it and offer job opportunities, but I'm just not there yet," she said.

The other Georgia Grown Trails are Trail 37 from Fort Gaines to Homerville; Trail 41/341 from south of Barnesville to Lake Park; Trail 1 from Augusta to Folkston; and Trail 17 from Kingsland to Savannah. Trail 27 will run from Rossville to Roopville.
The trails are part of Georgia Grown, the marketing brand of the Georgia Department of Agriculture, in partnership with Georgia's Rural Center at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. Cheryl Smith, GDA agritourism manager, explained the trails are one of the best tools available in marketing Georgia agribusinesses, big and small.
"The new Georgia Grown Trail 27 in north Georgia will allow visitors to travel the backroads of the region while experiencing all the wonderful agritourism sites along the way," Smith said.
Agritourism is a growing economic sector in Georgia, according to recent studies. John Salazar, a University of Georgia's Department of Agricultural and Applied

Economics professor, noted that 11 million people visited Georgia in 2018. Since 2014, Georgia's domestic travel expenditures have grown 17 percent from $23.7 billion to $27.9 billion in 2018.
During the annual UGA Ag Forecast last year, Salazar said Georgia agritourism was making a solid recovery and in a position to continue to grow as people traveled more and looked for more outdoor experiences.
Georgia's Rural Center helped with the Trail 27 designation by working with each county, State Rep. Steve Tarvin, R-Chickamauga, and the Northwest Georgia Joint Development Authority. Janet Cochran, project manager for Georgia's Rural Center, said Trail 27 brings together two of Georgia's largest industries, tourism and agriculture, to support economic growth and sustainability in this rural part of the state.
Smith said the destination marketing organizations in each county along US 27 would move forward to build trail membership and a plan for promoting the route to visitors. Interested businesses must be Georgia Grown members to take advantage of the Georgia Grown trails and other marketing programs.

Georgie's Drive
Thru Savannah
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our #1 industry, agricul-

ture! Ever since James Oglethorpe settled on Yamacraw Bluff, Savannah has been a popular place to visit.
I was traveling through town the other day, I sat on a park bench next to a man that asked me if I'd like a piece of chocolate, so I traded him a Georgia Grown Magazine for one. He quoted his mama a lot and talked about all the movies that had been filmed in Savannah while we waited on the Number 7 bus. He mentioned one of the first movies filmed in town was a chase scene between Burt Reynolds and Savannah Police where he wrecked his wife's car in the original version of the Longest Yard.
Other movies he mentioned included Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, Glory, Sponge Bob: A Sponge Out of Water, and a movie named Forrest Gump that he really enjoyed. In 2019, a little-known racetrack at the south end of Hutchinson Island was transformed into the Circuit de la Sarthe, the famous track near Le Mans, France, for the final act in the movie Ford v. Ferrari.

UGA's Bertioli looks for genetic key to stronger peanuts

By Khushi Kapadia The Red and Black

After living in Brazil as a professor at the University of Brasilia and studying peanuts, David Bertioli and his wife Soraya Bertioli are working in the lab again at the University of Georgia to create peanuts that are resistant to certain diseases.
When it comes to agriculture, diseases and pests cause significant challenges to farmers. To prevent the spread of diseases or eliminate the problem, farmers either spray their plants with pesticides or cultivate plants with genetic resistance.
"The focus is that we use wild species to bring in genetic diversity into the peanut crop," said David Bertioli, a professor at UGA's College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.
Bertioli, who studies peanut genetics and evolution, said the achievement of this genetic diversity involves cross-pollinating desired peanut traits with the traits from wild species of peanuts in the Georgia, Florida and North Carolina regions.
"We then have to use genetics, assays of diseases, field assays and selection, over a number of generations. What we do is we go select all of the good things about the cultivated field leading up to the cultivated peanut," Bertioli said.
Assays are a biological testing process used to determine the amount of a certain gene or characteristic in the peanut.
Bertioli chooses the desired traits from wild peanuts used to create a resistance in the cultivated plants.
"Essentially it's a bit like a 23andMe for peanuts," Bertioli said.

fighting diseases and pests. Bertioli uses DNA markers to identify which of the chromosomes contain the resistance.
When beginning the process, Bertioli has to recreate the hybrid peanuts by doubling the amount of chromosomes. After this, the peanuts are crossed together.
This process repeats with numerous peanut samples, until a desired trait or genetic resistances is developed throughout the various generations.
The type of resistance Bertioli develops in the peanuts depends on the most prevalent diseases in different parts of the world. Bertioli works with peanuts grown in various countries such as Nicaragua, Haiti, Senegal, Uganda and Brazil.
Bertioli uses newly developed technology and methodologies with genome sequencing to identify a source of resistance in a wild species and uses those characteristics to develop peanuts with a genetic resistance.
One of the main benefits of creating peanuts with a genetic resistance is to help farmers prevent the usage of chemical spray on these crops.

USDA to survey sheep and goat operations

ATHENS The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) began measuring sheep and goat inventories and wool and mohair production through a nationwide survey.
"Interest in sheep and goat data continues to grow with increased diversification in agriculture and consumer demands," said Southern Regional Director Anthony Prillaman. "The Sheep and Goat Survey gives producers the opportunity to report the latest information on conditions and trends in the industry."
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina operators surveyed will be asked to provide information about their

sheep and goat inventories, counts of lambs and kids born during 2022, and production and prices received for wool and mohair. In Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, NASS will contact about 1,700 operations to request their responses to the survey.
"Accurate data on sheep and goat inventory and production is a significant decision-making tool for USDA and the industry to be more responsive to domestic and international markets and consumer needs.
The information can also help create public appreciation for the many benefits of U.S. sheep and goats and their needed products," added Prillaman.

To make it as easy as possible for producers to participate in the survey, NASS offers the option of responding online, by telephone or by mail. The results of this survey will be available in aggregate form only, ensuring that no individual operation or producer can be identified, as required by federal law.
NASS will publish the survey results January 31, 2023, in the Sheep and Goats report. This and all NASS reports are available online at www.nass.usda.gov/Publications.
For more information, call the NASS Southern Regional Office at 800-253-4419.
