EstablishEd 1917 a CEntury of sErviCE GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE TYLER HARPER, COMMISSIONER WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2023 VOL. 106, NO. 3 COPYRIGHT 2023 Recession, tight monetary policy drives economic forecast for 2023 By Jay Jones jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov As the overall economy shakes off the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, economists and commodity experts were cautiously optimistic for the year in their reports during the University of Georgia's annual Ag Forecast held in Tifton on Jan. 27. Nick Place, dean of UGA's College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, opened the meeting, noting the school's efforts to help farmers in research and education. He touted the university's new Institute for Integrated Precision Agriculture. The institute opened last year, and its work will involve precision agriculture research and the development of new technologies to improve crop and livestock yields. "The significance of that is it brings together not only our college but a number of other colleges across the whole of the University of Georgia (system), which is pretty darn cool," Place said. "It brings together engineering, veterinary medicine, forestry sciences to really push this forward so that we can really put a flag in the ground related to the innovative technology in support of agriculture." Place also reported that CAES currently has about 1,500 undergraduate students and 700 graduate students and will work to increase enrollment by 2,000 and 1,000, respectively, in the next 5-6 years. William Chambers, deputy chairman of the USDA World Agricultural Outlook media reporting on the macro, or worldwide, economy. They included "U.S. and Global 10 0 t1h9A17nniv2e0r1s7ary Inflation," "Ukraine-Russia conflict," "Energy Prices," and others. Chambers used the illustration to make the point that a lot of factors are going into how the economy will work this year, and while things appear to trend for the better re- cently, there is still a lot of uncertainty. "The economy was very pessimistic ear- lier in (2022), but that pessimism seemed to peak, I would say, around October," Cham- bers said. "I don't know if I can say we are optimistic now, but we are certainly less pes- simistic." Among factors that have an effect on agri- culture, Chambers said he could be optimis- tic about a drop in worldwide oil prices and natural gas. Both oil and natural gas spiked upward at the start of the war in Ukraine last year. Since then, prices and uncertainty have dropped as the markets adjusted. "It was a crisis earlier. There was a Rus- sian invasion, and there were all sorts of Nick Place, dean of UGA's College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, opened the school's annual Ag Forecast on Jan. 27 held at the UGA Tifton Conference Center. UGA economists said they expect a mild and short recession this year and Georgia's economy will be do better that the U.S. economy. (GDA/Jay Jones) problems. The price of gas spiked, and there were fears of shortages. It was very high and volatile, and then the situation resolved somewhat. I'm not sure if natural gas is cheap, but it's down from where it was. It's less pessimistic. It's not as bad a problem as we would have thought, say, in September." Board, provided the keynote address, over- Chambers said another point to be more viewing what occurred in 2022 and provid- optimistic about is inflation. The federal ing some of his thoughts for the coming year. Consumer Price Index in December was With a presentation slide, Chambers down from the previous month. The CPI showed a list of words and phrases that he measures consumers' average price change said many in the audience may have seen in for consumer goods and services. Although the CPI dropped in December, it remains up from the previous year. How the CPI affects agriculture remains to be seen as the Federal Reserve attempts to lower inflation. Chambers tempered anticipation in the room by noting the Federal Reserve will still likely increase federal interest rates but less than was done in the previous year. Chambers said cotton experienced some of the most significant effects in the past two years of all the commodities the USDA's World Agricultural Outlook Board follows. USDA data showed that global cotton consumption fell to the second-lowest level in the last nine years. In turn, the U.S. experienced its lowest cotton exports in seven years. In researching the reason for the drop in cotton, Chambers said he went so far as to look at data on clothing imports in the U.S., which also experienced a sharp drop. He asked rhetorically if this was the answer. Chambers said, "Not sure." "Back when people were really pessimistic, maybe people pulled back. We've had these supply chain issues, and we read sometimes the importers had more than they knew what to do with, then they had bulk and had to move product, so maybe that affected it, which all would suggest that this is going to bounce back."

Department of Agriculture Tyler Harper, Commissioner Georgia Cotton Commission names inaugural Trustees Award winners Staff reports Louie Perry, Jr. of Moultrie and Mike Lucas of Cochran were named recipients of the inaugural Trustees Award winners by the Georgia Cotton Commission at the commission's annual meeting on Jan. 25. The commission created the Trustees Awards to recognize individuals who have dedicated themselves to the advancement of the cotton industry in Georgia. Producers, research and extension specialists and other cotton industry associates who have given exceptional service to the cotton industry are eligible to receive this award, according to a press release announcing the award winners. The award was named after the Georgia Colonial Trustees, who set out to create an agricultural colony and expedite agricultural productivity. In 1734, the trustees established a 10-acre Trustee Garden in Savannah to display modern farming techniques. They experimented on many crops that first year, but cotton was the crop that thrived and has been planted in Georgia every year since. Perry is the fifth-generation farmer to own, operate and live on his family farm, The Georgia Cotton Commission named Louie Perry, Jr. of Moultrie and Mike Lucas of Cochran as the first recipients of the Trustees Awards, which were presented in Tifton on Jan. 25.

Perry also raises purebred limousine and commercial cattle and grows peanuts, grain, hay, corn and tobacco. He began his farming career in partnership with his father on Pineywoods Farms in Moultrie in 1962. His great-great grandfather established Pineywoods with a 490acre land grant from state of Georgia in 1830. Over the decades, the farm's acreage has expanded to 1,300.

Leading up to the deadline for this issue, we had National Pie Day on Jan. 23 and National Peanut Butter Day on Jan. 24. Our friends at the Georgia Peanut Commission combined the main ingredient of those two days into a delicious peanut pie recipe. Ingredients 20 Ritz crackers, crushed fine 1 cup sugar 3/4 cup roasted peanuts, chopped 1/4 tsp cream of tarter 3 eggs whites 1 tsp vanilla grated unsweetened chocolate Instructions Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Combine crackers, peanuts and 1/2 cup sugar. Set aside. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff, gradually adding other 1/2 cup sugar. Stir in vanilla. Fold the cracker/peanut mixture into egg white mixture. Bake in pie pan (use your favorite pie crust recipe) for 25 minutes at 350 F degrees. Cool and top with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate. Submitted by Jamie Cromley, Brooklet, Ga. to the Georgia Peanut Commission.

Circle all the tools that can be used in the kitchen to cook. Georgie's Drive Thru Buena Vista Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our #1 industry, agriculture! There are lots of brave young men and women who were born and raised in this state. The other day, I found the monument to one of our heroes in his hometown of Buena Vista. Luther Story served as a private in Company A, 9th Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division during the Korean War. On September 1, 1950, Private Story's regiment was repeatedly attacked and nearly surrounded by enemy forces. He took the machine gun from a wounded trooper and killed about one hundred enemy soldiers crossing a river. He stood in a road in front of an approaching troop transport throwing every grenade he had at it. His position was overrun, and he had to run for cover in a rice paddy. At that position, Private Story was severely wounded and knew he would slow down his troop's withdrawal. He volunteered to stay behind and cover his troop's exit. He threw everything he had at the enemy to slow them down. He was never seen again alive. On the courthouse square, there is a bronze plaque in honor of his posthumously receiving the Congressional Medal of Honor. Kale Smoothie Kale is a nutritious food rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, vitamin K, and beta-carotene. It also contains nutrients that can support eye health, weight management, heart health, and more. Ingredients 2 cups lightly packed chopped kale leaves, stems removed 3/4 cup skim milk 1/2 frozen banana cut in chunks 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt 1/4 cup frozen pineapple pieces 1/2 cup frozen strawberries 2 tsp sugar Directions Place all ingredients in the order listed, in a blender.

We choose pineapple and ham for this recipe, but pepperoni works, too.

Next have them place a spoonful of pizza sauce on the bagel and spread it around. Have the children place ham and diced pineapple on top of the sauce.
