Harper: Ready for the next chapter in the story of Georgia agriculture
By Tyler Harper
Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture
Thomas Jefferson said, "Cultivators of the earth are the most valuable citizens. They are the most vigorous, the most independent, the most virtuous, and they are tied to their country and wedded to its liberty and interests by the most lasting bands."
As I embark on this journey as our state's 17th Commissioner of Agriculture, I'm struck by the quintessential truth in those words--and honored to have the opportunity to serve our state's number one industry. For a 7th generation South Georgia farmer who still tills the same piece of dirt that's been in my family for over 125 years, it's a dream come true to serve such a vigorous, virtuous, and vibrant industry at such a critical time for our state.
Growing up on that farm, I learned that being involved in agriculture was more than just a job or a hobby. It was--and still is to this day--a way of life. We learned that what we do each day empowers and sustains communities not only in our state, but across the country--and it is important to keep sharing in that work and spreading that story.
As I take the reins from Commissioner Black, I want to take this opportunity to thank him for 12 years of dedicated service to our state and the Georgia Department of Agriculture. I appreciate his help, guidance, and cooperation during
the transition period and our team is ready

Southeast Regional Fruit and Vegetable Conference highlights issues growers face in 2023
By Jay Jones jay.jones@arg.georgia.gov
The Southeast Regional Fruit and Vegetable Conference in Savannah kicked off the new year, providing an opportunity for regional farmers and industry leaders to meet. The conference also offered the latest information from researchers covering everything from blueberries to watermelons.
Organizers of the annual event said attendance was up 12 percent from the previous year. Over 3,000 people attended the event held on Jan. 5-8 at the Savannah Con-
vention Center and 293 exhibitors showcased their products and services on the conference's trade show.
"We were thrilled with the increase in attendance. It affirms the need and value of growers gathering together to learn from each other and from all of the wonderful resources we are able to bring together for the conference," said Chris Butts, executive vice president of the Georgia Fruit and Vegetables Growers Association, which co-hosted the conference with the South Carolina Peach Council.
Butts also noted the industry is optimis-
tic for 2023, but there will be challenges. He said the most significant issues this year would include competition from imports, farm labor and the new Farm Bill, the legislation updated every five years and dictates how the federal government will regulate agriculture.
"The continued crushing impact from cheap imports along with the drastic 14 percent increase in H2A wages are just two of the issues we are working on behalf of growers in 2023," Butts said. "We are hopeful that the Farm Bill may offer opportunities to provide some relief to Georgia grow-
ers who are only looking for a level playing field."
Among the exhibitors was Randy and Marie Bowman of Munger, Mich., representing their company, Ike's Welding and Manufacturing. Randy co-founded the company with Jeff Vehmlander and had recently stepped away from the business. Jeff was busy with work and asked Randy to fill in for him. "I was retired, but I came to cover this show," Randy said.
Ike's Welding sells agricultural equipment and services, focusing on harvesters

Avian Influenza update: The outbreak isn't over!
By Marcus J. Webster
Associate State Veterinarian
Georgia Department of Agriculture
State animal health officials are encouraging owners of domestic poultry and fowl flocks to continue being diligent and protect their birds from disease. Despite less news media coverage of avian influenza (AI), the AI outbreak remains a concern.
Avian influenza is a viral disease that can infect many different species of wild birds, such as waterfowl and raptors, pet birds, and poultry species. Based on the genetic makeup and severity of the disease, avian influenza viruses are classified as either low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI), which causes mild disease, or highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), which causes severe disease and death. Since February 2022, over 400 backyard flocks and more than 300 commercial poultry flocks have had confirmed detections of HPAI nationally. The Georgia Department of Agriculture has responded to two confirmed detections of HPAI in backyard flocks to date. Even in the face of this devastating disease, pet bird and backyard flock owners are not defenseless and can empower themselves to protect their birds. Biosecurity and understanding environmental risks are critical components for equipping yourself against the potential spread of AI. Well-designed housing for your birds is a critical biosecurity component to promote flock
health. Constructing a coop that adequately protects against wind, environmental exposure, precipitation, pests, and predators will provide safeguards to prevent the entry of AI when coupled with other good biosecurity practices.
Other biosecurity practices include, but are not limited to the following: Regularly clean and disinfect equipment used to care for
your flock, use clean clothing and shoes dedicated to your flock, and wash hands. If you or a visitor recently interacted with birds (wild or domestic) that are outside of your flock, do not make direct contact with your birds until appropriate cleaning and disinfection have been completed. Removing and properly disposing of trash and materials that attract wild birds to your property and properly storing feed. Do not allow your birds access to open water sources that are potentially contaminated and discourage wild waterfowl and vultures from developing feeding and nesting colonies near your flock.
Avian influenza is a global challenge with significant financial and emotional impacts on flock owners and managers worldwide. Implement good biosecurity and environmental management to protect your birds from this threat. You also have a team of state, federal, and poultry industry experts to support your efforts to maintain a healthy flock. Visit the Georgia Department of Agriculture's Avian Influenza webpage for more information on domestic birds and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources webpage for information on wild birds.
AI is a reportable disease in Georgia. To report sick domestic poultry, call the Avian Influ-
enza hotline at 770-766-6850 or visit https://www.gapoultrylab.org/avian-influenza-hotline/.
Monitor Flocks: Keep an eye for signs of AI
Along with taking biosecurity measures to protect your birds, GDA Animal Health officials also suggest you know the signs and symptoms of possible AI infection among your birds. Observation includes monitoring production parameters (feed and water consumption, egg production) and increased morbidity and mortality. Any changes in production parameters that could indicate HPAI should be reported.
Signs and symptoms of Avian Influenza include:
Drop in egg production, soft eggshells
Discolored combs and feet
Birds stop eating or drinking
Diarrhea
Sudden mortality
Promptly report any observations of domestic birds with the signs described above. For domestic birds, call the AI Hotline at 770-766-6850. Testing is free through the Georgia Poultry Lab.

USDA to measure financial well-being of farmers and ranchers in survey
ATHENS The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is gathering information about farm economics and production practices from farmers and ranchers, as the agency conducts the third and final phase of the 2022 Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS).
"ARMS is the only survey that measures the current financial well-being of producers and their households as a whole," said Anthony Prillaman, director of the NASS Southern Reginal Field Office. "The data will help inform decisions on local and federal policies and programs that affect farms and farm families."
In an effort to obtain the most accurate data, NASS will
reach out to more than 35,000 producers nationwide, including 4,600 in the Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina between January and April. The survey asks producers to provide in-depth information about their operating revenues, production costs, and household characteristics. The survey also includes questions to help measure any impacts of COVID on farms, farm and household finances, and offfarm employment.
"In February, our interviewers will begin reaching out to those farmers who have not yet responded," said Prillaman. "We appreciate their time and are here to help them with the questionnaire so that their information will continue supporting sound agricultural decision making. Completing
this questionnaire fulfills your 2022 Census of Agriculture requirement."
Information provided to NASS is kept confidential, as required by federal law. The agency only publishes data in aggregate form, ensuring that no individual respondent or operation can be identified.
The expense data gathered in ARMS will be published in the annual Farm Production Expenditures report on July 21, 2023. That report and others are available at www.nass. usda.gov/publications. More reports based on ARMS data and more information about ARMS are available at https:// ers.usda.gov/arms.
Neighbor's tree fell on my property
Consumer Ed says:
Under Georgia's Fallen Tree Responsibility laws, if a tree falls on someone's property, it is generally that property owner, and not the owner of the tree, who is responsible for any property damage, as well as the costs of hauling away the tree.
There is an exception, however. When a tree from your neighbor's property falls and injures someone or causes damage to your property, if the neighbor should have reasonably known that the tree was dead or diseased either because a) the fallen tree showed visible signs that the tree was dead or had a disease, for example, if the tree had no bark or no leaves in the summertime; or b) if the owner of the tree received written notice from an arborist, building tenant, or another third party that there was a problem with the tree before it fell, then he or she would likely be responsible for paying damages.
As a general rule, if your neighbor should not have reasonably known there was a problem with the tree before it fell, you are responsible for removing the fallen tree from your property. You do not, however, have to clean up any tree debris located on your neighbor's property.
You may also want to consult with an attorney to confirm your legal rights and responsibilities in this situation.
Dear Consumer Ed:
There's a tree between my neighbors and my property that fell and landed in my yard. I asked my neighbor to split the costs with me for removing the tree, but he says the tree is in my yard now, so I should pay. Who is right?

Georgia Cooking: Warm Collard Green Cheesy Bacon Dip
Here at the Market Bulletin, we like to switch up the perennial Super Bowl spinach dip and add a hefty dose of collard greens instead!
Don't be afraid to halve the measurements if you are going to a small gathering. Dips like these are very forgiving, but just make sure to use a smaller baking dish to ensure that it stays creamy in the oven. This recipe serves 10-12.
Ingredients 8 slices thick cut bacon, diced 14 cups chopped collard greens;
stems removed 1 cups diced onions 3 Tbsps minced garlic 3 cups grated cheddar cheese (12
ounces)
1 cups grated parmesan cheese, divided
1 cup mayonnaise 8 ounces cream cheese 16 ounces sour cream 3 Tbsps hot sauce Salt and pepper
Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon from pan, draining on paper towels, reserving cup of bacon grease.
Add onion and garlic to reserved grease, cooking until translucent. Add collard greens in batches, stirring to wilt before adding more. Once all collard greens are wilted, add cream cheese. Stir cream cheese until melted then add sour cream, mayonnaise and
hot sauce, mixing well to combine.
Add 1 cup parmesan, cheddar and bacon to pan, stirring until cheese melts. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour mixture into ovenproof dish. Sprinkle remaining parmesan over
dip. Bake 30 minutes or until bubbly and brown. Serve with tortilla chips, crackers or French bread. Courtesy of the Georgia Grown

and hydraulic systems for in-field and warehouses. They also fabricate custom parts for customers. Bowman explained they are a small company, but they have attended the regional conference in Savannah for 15 years because it has been good for business.
"Up north, we have a lot to do with sugar beet growers, but we can custom build for almost any produce," Bowman said. "In Georgia, we have a lot of pickle farms we do work for. Business here has picked up since one of the pickle companies moved a pickling plant from Michigan to South Carolina."
Bill Brim with Lewis Taylor Farms in Tifton attended the conference. He was encouraged by the new year despite reporting the severe freeze in December wiped out all of the farm's winter greens about 600 acres of kale, cabbage, lettuce and broccoli.
"We're stripping down some of the plants to three leaves to help them the best we can and see if we can get some production out of them," Brim said. He added that they
might get some greens from a second winter crop, but production overall will be down.
Kashi Sehgal was attending her first conference representing Retaaza, a food distribution company she started in 2021. Sehgal explained they offer another option for farmers to sell their produce. Retaaza's mission is to support farmers while making local food more accessible and affordable to families struggling with food insecurity. To do so, Retaaza looks for excess produce farmers are unable to sell to the large food distributors and sell it locally.
"We buy food from farmers when it's going to waste, and we pay a fair price," Sehgal said. They call us and tell us they are about to throw something out at the end week, `I don't have a customer for this,' or `I had to pick it early,' and we will come and pick it up for our markets, so it's an economic solution for them."
Retaaza's wholesale customers include companies that provide produce to their employees as a healthcare benefit. Clinch Memorial Hospital in Homerville was their first
corporate client. The company's name combines English and Hindi: "Re" is the English prefix for again, and "Taaza" is Hindi for fresh.
Sehgal said the company started during the height of the pandemic, and there was some doubt about getting into the food distribution business at a difficult time for supply chain. "People thought I was crazy, but I actually think that's the best time to start something like this," she said.
"People are struggling, and you really have the pain points highlighted," Sehgal said. "I don't have a background in agriculture, which I think can often be helpful and can often hurt you. But at least from some perspectives, it's been really helpful because I am not tied down to how things have always been done. I don't know how much you need to pay for transportation. I just figure out how to cover the cost."

Georgie's Drive Thru Round Oak
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our #1 industry, ag-
riculture! You know, Georgia is a big ol' state that produces a lot of cattle. I was pleasantly surprised the other day when I stopped in Gray to pay my respects to one of my favorite singers of all time and found that he had been a cattle farmer, too. Otis Redding was born in Dawson in 1941 and moved to Macon early on. He sang at church and in talent shows at the Douglass Theatre downtown.
He hit it big in the music industry with his first song "These Arms of Mine." In 1966, Redding and his family moved to Round Oak and established a cattle farm called the Big "O" Ranch, which is still owned by the family today. When Redding bought the farm, he renovated the house, built a 90,000-gallon swimming pool in the shape of an "O", and started raising Black Angus Cattle. In December of 1967, Otis Redding recorded his biggest hit "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay." Before the song could be released, he was killed in a plane crash near Madison, Wisconsin four days later.
The memorial marker located at the corner of Ga. Highway 11 and US Highway 129 in downtown Gray, was unveiled in 2015 to honor legendary soul singer Otis Redding to highlight his ties to the city of Gray and Jones County. Redding's Big O Ranch is nine miles north of Gray in Round Oak. (Special Photo)

Tornadoes cause damage to UGA Griffin campus and across central Georgia
By Jay Jones jay.jones@arg.georgia.gov
Tornadoes tore through central Georgia earlier this month, causing significant damage to agriculture businesses and research facilities.
According to the National Weather Service, a line of thunderstorms moved through north and central Georgia on Jan. 11 and through the next day, bringing high winds and rain. The NWS confirmed the weather system produced eight tornadoes in Cobb, Troup, Meriwether, Henry, Pike, Spalding and Jasper counties.
Two tornadoes occurred in Spalding County, which caused significant damage at
the University of Georgia Griffin Campus. Laura Dean Johnson, UGA associate dean for Extension, said there was severe damage to some buildings and research areas. The campus was open at the time of the tornado, but no one was injured.
UGA Meteorologist Pam Knox said two weather stations were operating on the Griffin campus. One at the main campus recorded wind gusts of 74 mph, while another at the campus's Dempsey Farms had wind gusts of up to 81 mph before it stopped working.
"We don't know yet if it blew away or got hit by something," Knox said, responding by email. Knox added that the storms also knocked out the UGA Weather Network,
which returned online the next day. The tornado causing the most damage
in Griffin started in northwest Pike County and traveled northeast through Spalding County to Locust Grove in Henry County, causing damage to commercial and residential structures across the area.
The Georgia Department of Agriculture's Rapid Response Team did damage assessments across the state of agricultural facilities and businesses. GDA field inspectors reported that a dairy in Spalding County had extensive damages.
Venessa Sims, director of the GDA Emergency Management Division, said five meat processing facilities reported short outages of an hour or less. She added there
had been no reports of disruptions of licensed facilities.
GDA Emergency Management continued performing storm damage assessments using mapping technology to pinpoint damages. Brandon Sauceda, a member of the GDA's Rapid Response Team for IT development, explained that using the geographic information system (GIS), such as mapping the tornadoes' paths, will help recovery efforts in the coming weeks.
"By visually seeing the exact tornado path and intensity, we can prioritize state resources in the most effective manner to protect consumers and assist the industry in recovery," Sauceda said.
Photos show the tornado damage at the University of Georgia Griffin Campus. On Jan. 11, a weather system moved through north and central Georgia, bringing damaging winds, thunderstorms and several tornados across the area. (Special Photos/UGA-CAES)
Percy Hunter Stone inducted into National 4-H Hall of Fame
By Josie Smith
University of Georgia
Percy Hunter Stone, Georgia's first Black 4-H state leader in the era of segregation, was inducted into the National 4-H Hall of Fame on Oct. 7, 2022, in Washington, D.C. Stone led the organization formerly known as the Negro 4-H Club. He was recognized for his unwavering dedication to creating equal opportunities for all 4-H'ers.
Stone is credited with the establishment of Dublin 4-H Center, opened as the first state center for Black 4-H'ers in the U.S. in 1957. The center was recently named to the National Register of Historic Places by the National Park Service.
Born in Virginia in 1893, Stone earned an undergraduate degree from Hampton Institute, now Hampton University, before moving to Georgia in 1919 to begin his career as a Cooperative Extension agent in Clarke County. Four years later, he was transferred to Savannah to assume the role of state leader of the Negro 4-H Club.
Upon his arrival in Savannah, Stone began working to remove barriers preventing Black students from participating in 4-H. He strengthened all facets of 4-H programming by incorporating more organization to the club's framework, including expanded leadership training for members and greater incentives for competing in judging, exhibits, project production and record books.
As membership steadily increased, Stone

and his state staff decided to consolidate the girls' and boys' programs. The first State Federation for Negro 4-H Club Boys and Girls was established in August 1933 at Georgia State Industrial College, now Savannah State University. An equal number of boys and girls were elected to fill the officer positions.
Stone is credited with nurturing the sup-
port of the Savannah business community for 4-H, believing that "the community is the basis of club organization." Mills Bee Lane Jr., a young Savannah banker, began sponsoring the Negro 4-H Calf Clubs in 1936 by financing 26 steers for participants. Other businesses followed suit and opportunities for Black 4-H'ers continued to improve.
Camping became Stone's next priority. Black Extension agents dreamed of a centrally located 4-H facility that would be controlled by the Cooperative Extension Service, similar to Camp Wilkins, Camp Wahsega and Camp Fulton, which were available to white 4-H members. In 1939, he assisted with the acquisition of property in Laurens County to begin construction of the Dublin 4-H Center.
World War II and its aftermath slowed the construction of the new facility, but Stone persisted with his initiatives and by 1954 there were 50,000 Black 4-H members in Georgia.
After 37 years of service, Stone retired in 1956 and moved to Washington, D.C. to serve in the Federal Extension Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. He returned to Georgia in 1957 for the opening and dedication of the Dublin 4-H Center. Thanks to the work of Stone and other Black Extension agents, the center served Black 4-H'ers and their families until it closed in 1968 after the integration of Georgia 4-H programs.
Stone changed the course of history for Black youth in Georgia by creating oppor-
tunities for them to develop and belong as 4-H'ers. "It was only 65 years ago that Dublin 4-H Center was dedicated," said Fred Harrison, retired director of Extension and dean emeritus of Fort Valley State University. "The 4-H program in Georgia was segregated, we had two separate camps ... the reason we can confidently say today that the Extension programs in Georgia are combined is because people like Percy Hunter Stone worked hard and did not quit."
The history of Dublin 4-H Center and Stone will be commemorated with permanent signage installed at the entrance to the Emery Thomas Auditorium. Replicas have been installed in Sutton Hall at Rock Eagle 4-H Center in Eatonton.
"We are committed to making sure this history is remembered," said Arch Smith, retired 4-H state leader, who nominated Stone for the National 4-H Hall of Fame. "The 4-H'ers of tomorrow will have the opportunity to learn about the work that was done by those who came before them."
Georgia 4-H empowers youth to become true leaders by developing necessary life skills, positive relationships and community awareness. As the largest youth leadership organization in the state, 4-H reaches more than 225,000 people annually through UGA Cooperative Extension offices and 4-H facilities.
