EstablishEd 1917 a CEntury of sErviCE GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE TYLER HARPER, COMMISSIONER WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19, 2023 VOL. 106, NO. 8 COPYRIGHT 2023 Southeast prescribed fire training center attracts students from U.S., abroad By Jay Jones jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov The Prescribed Fire Training Center (PFTC) is using Georgia as a classroom for firefighters worldwide to learn the latest techniques and methods for prescribed fire to lessen the dangers of wildfires and other benefits including land management and encouraging wildlife habitat to name a couple. Conner Chaffee attended a session earlier this year with a group of firefighters from the western United States and Canada, for a series of sessions. As a firefighter with the U.S. Forest Service in western Colorado, Chaffee said the Southeast is a great place to learn about prescribed fire. The advantage here is there are property owners who welcome prescribed burning on their property. "In the Western states, we struggle with 10 0 t1h9A17nniv2e0r1s7ary Trainees and instructors from the Prescribed Fire Training Center perform a training module at the Tall Timbers Research Station in Bainbridge, learning the latest techniques and methods for prescribed fire. The PFTC attracts firefighters and land managers from all 50 states and 17 nations. (Special Photo/PFTC) wildfires all year long, so a lot of people see the fire in a bad aspect as opposed to out in the East where people are comfortable with burning, whether it be for turkey hunting, quail hunting, or habitat improvement," Chaffee said. "It's really cool to come out here and work in an environment where people are more supportive of it." Located in Tallahassee, FL, the PFTC runs sessions through the burn season, January through April. Groups travel here for sessions that are held in 10 states, from Texas to North Carolina. Land to burn is the biggest need for prescribed fire training, and the center has many options across the lower Southeastern states. The PFTC works with several state agencies, state and national parks, utilities, and other entities. In Georgia, the PFTC partners See PRESCRIBED FIRE, page 16 UGA Extension, CAES partner with Georgia Organics to support state growers By Emily Cabrera The University of Georgia What began as a grassroots growers cooperative in the 1970s has become one of the Southeast's most prestigious member-supported non-profit farming organizations. After 25 years as a 501(c) (3), Georgia Organics continues to hold its ground in one of the country's most agriculture-rich states, supporting organic growers and championing the local food movement. In a region where the climate lends itself to abundant plant diseases, weeds and insect pests, organic farmers face greater challenges than those of conventional agriculture. Organic production, by its very nature, compels farmers to exhaust alternative management tools before using organically approved chemical products. "Organic farming starts with living, healthy soil and that is the foundation of organic production," said Alice Rolls, president and chief executive officer of Georgia Organics. "As my mother was a children's librarian, I was always a fan of Aesop's tortoise and hare allegory. You can go fast, or you can go slowly, thoughtfully and with purpose to build something that hopefully creates lasting change. It's not always easy, but sustainability and resiliency won't happen unless we take the long view." During the pandemic, when shutdowns exposed vulnerabilities in the nation's food supply chain, Rolls said small and organic farmers, who were rooted in local communities, experienced an all-time high in demand during the early months of the pandemic. "I hope that this recent experience will lead us to support a more localized food system, where consumers, schools and businesses are buying from networks of local farmers in their own community. We have tremendous buying potential within communities, so lets keep those dollars local, eat seasonally and lift the farmers who are building soil and public and environmental health," she said. With its roots in farmer education and networking, the Georgia Organics annual See ORGANIC GROWERS, page 16 Organic growers participated in hands-on demonstrations on soil fertility, greenhouse production, field cultivation and food safety at an organic farmer field day last month at UGA's Durham Horticulture Farm.

Department of Agriculture Tyler Harper, Commissioner Centennial Farms applications due May 1 State program recognizes farms in same family for 100 years By Jay Jones jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov The Georgia Centennial Farm program, which recognizes farms that the same family has owned for at least 100 years, is accepting applications for this year's class of recipients through May 1. The Georgia Centennial Farm program was established in 1993 by the Georgia Department of Agriculture to honor and preserve the state's agricultural heritage. To qualify for the program, a farm must meet certain criteria, including being owned by the same family for at least 100 years, having a minimum of 10 acres of the original property still in agricultural use, and demonstrating a continuous agricultural operation. The Historic Preservation Division of the Georgia Department of Community Affairs currently administers the program and is supported by Georgia Farm Bureau, Georgia EMC, Georgia Forestry Commission, and Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter. "As a seventh-generation farmer who still tills the same piece of dirt that has been in my family for over 125 years, I know firsthand the incredible amount of hard work, determination, and perseverance our farmers put in every day in order to pass their operations on to the next generation," said Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tyler Harper. "Georgia has a rich agricultural history and is proud to recognize the generational farms and the farmers and producers who have maintained their operations for over a century." Families interested in applying for the program must complete an application form, provide ownership documentation, and provide a written history of the farm and its operation. A panel of judges will review applications, and those farms that meet the program's criteria will be designated as a Georgia Centennial Farm. In addition to the recognition and honor of being designated as a Georgia Centennial Farm, the program has other benefits. Designated farms receive a plaque, a historical marker, and a certificate of recognition. They are also invited to participate in the annual Georgia National Fair, where they are recognized during a special ceremony. The Georgia Centennial Farm program has recognized over 600 farms since its inception in 1993, and the program continues to grow. "I strongly encourage all farmers who believe they qualify for the Georgia Centennial Farm Program to take advantage of this opportunity to celebrate their family's contribution to the story of Georgia agriculture," Harper said. To nominate a farm for recognition, access the application form and other information, go to https://www.dca.ga.gov/georgia-historic-preservation-division/historic-resources/centennial-farms or email outreach@dca.ga.gov. Applications must be postmarked by May 1.

Good to Grow: Keeping fire ants at bay requires early treatment By Jay Jones jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov You may not see fire ants, but they are there, and spring is the perfect time to get a start on fire ant eradication before their red mounds rise among the green grass of summer. Fire ants are active now as the weather gets warmer. The colonies wake up from under- ground and begin brooding. New queens are born and will fly away to establish their own colonies. If kept unchecked, mounds will start popping up. Baiting for fire ants now can save homeowners' yards before the big mounds develop, said Dan Suiter, a University of Georgia entomologist. "Now's a good time because you're head- BULLETIN Machinery Exemptions www.forms.agr.georgia.gov/GATE/ Exempt: ATVs and o -road vehicles used for farm, ag processing, and ag service purposes.

Suiter said solid baits, like Amdro, are the best method homeowners have to kill fire ants. The bait is made from corn grit carrying the active ingredient dissolved in an oil. The ants remove the oil from the grit and take it back to the mound, where they share it with the other ants. When used correctly, ant bait products are the safest and most efficient way to control fire ants, Suiter said. "Amdro is meant to be eaten by the ant, so about half a handful spread around the mound, not on top of the mound, is a good way to do it in the yard," Suiter said. "What the ants will do is in the afternoon, when it's dry and warm, they will forage and pick it up." Suiter suggested dropping a potato chip or a piece of a hotdog in the yard to determine if the ants are foraging. "If the fire ants are forging, they'll cover it up in short order," he said. Incorrect application can waste time and money and does not stop fire ants. Placing bait directly on top of the mound does nothing, Suiter said. Over the years, Suiter said he's seen people pour water into the mound with the bait, which will ruin the bait. Suiter added that fire ants prefer warm and dry conditions with temperatures in the upper 70s to mid-80s. The morning dew will hamper the application and may dilute the bait. In the summer, fire ants will avoid hot conditions of temperatures hitting 90 and above in the afternoons. Suiter suggested waiting to apply bait in the evening during the summer months when there is enough daylight left after 6 p.m. for ants to do their foraging. Fire ants do not harm vegetable plants, but they can be a pest in spring as gardeners till the soil for planting. Suiter said fire ants like open areas with lots of sun, where gardens are located. The soft garden soil also appeals to them to build a nest. "One of the things we will tell people to do is put a little bit of fire ant bait on a milk carton cap and put it outside the garden," Suiter said. "Fires ants will find it, and they will recruit to Fire ants are active as the weather warms and will start foraging for food in the spring. Solid baits spread around mounds can keep ant mounds away. Proper application and following label directions are the best methods for homeowners to eliminate fire ants efficiently. The best time to apply is during warm and dry conditions. (Special Photo/USDA) it, and they remove the granules. And there's a good chance that the fire ants that are inside the vegetable garden will be the ones that find the granules." Suiter added that after a couple of hours, you can pick up the remaining granules and put them back in the bag or throw them in the yard. Suiter advises everyone to take the time to read the labels of insecticides and baits before use. Also, various over-the-counter products are not as selective as granular bait for fire ants. Some insecticides contain bifenthrin, a pyrethroid insecticide that is nonselective and capable of killing any insect it comes in contact with. Suiter recommended homeowners avoid these products for outdoor use because of the risk that they could leech into nearby waterways or kill pollinating insects.

That was the challenge given to some of Georgia's top chefs by the Georgia Restau- rant Association for Georgia Pecan Restau- rant Week. The chefs were asked to develop unique pecan-inspired dishes and cocktails, which were featured in their restaurants. Georgia Pecan Restaurant Week ran April 8-16, which coincided with National Pecan Day on April 14. Georgia is the nation's top producer of pecans, growing an estimated 100 million pounds of the nut annually. According to the press release announcing Pecan Restau- rant Week, Georgia pecans are particularly popular with chefs, as they have a unique flavor and texture and are used in various dishes. Robert Butts with Twisted Soul Cook- The Deconstructed Pecan Pie was created by Jamie Keating, executive chef at Epic Restaurant in Columbus, for Georgia Pecan Restaurant Week, which coincided with National Pecan Day on April 14. Keating was one of 11 chefs in Georgia who created new dishes using roasted pecans, pecan flour and pecan oil.

When we do that, it will organically have different trout over creamy grits with wilted greens and a bourbon textures. Some will be a fine meal within that mix along with pieces that are definitely identifiable as pecans." Keating had used pecan oil in the past. "We used it with a dropper where it's just little drops to accent a salad or use in a dish because it's pretty powerful." For this promotion, Keating's team used pecan flour for macarons. The Georgia Restaurant Association held Georgia Pecan Restaurant Week in partnership with the Georgia Pecan Growers Association. For more information, visit https:// georgiapecan.org/. Chefs in Atlanta, Athens, Columbus, Macon, Roswell, and Savannah participated in the Georgia Pecan Restaurant Week this month where they created new dishes for their menus highlighting Georgia's number 1 nut.

Hopefully, the sunny weather and new growth will bring you joy; however, you are not alone if you are low on energy and feel tired! Pollen is a major culprit for seasonal allergies and runny nose that may be zapping your energy.

SAD commonly occurs in the fall and winter; however, the opposite pattern is observed with the onset of symptoms in spring and summer. This form is typically associated with trouble sleeping, decreased appetite, weight loss, anxiety and increased irritability. If you believe you may be suffering from seasonal depression, first ask yourself these questions. Do your symptoms start around the same time every year? Have you lost interest in your usual hobbies or activities? Do you have low energy, or are you experiencing any cravings?

Georgia Cooking: Blue Cheese Stuffed Vidalia Onion Vidalia onions are hitting the stores this week, and like an old friend, we welcome them back. We got a good response from last week's Onion and Short Rib soup recipe as a delicious, and some would say fancy, dish since it was served at Churchill Downs for the Kentucky Derby. This week, we offer a simpler recipe that requires just four ingredients. I grew up with a father who would admit he could have been a better cook, but baked Vidalia onion was one of the few dishes he could make. For him, butter, salt, pepper, and onion made the perfect hot snack. This recipe gets a little fancy, not by much, though, by adding blue cheese. Serves 4. Serve with Shitake Smothered Grilled Steak and Grilled Baby Potatoes (recipes for both can be found at https://georgiagrown.com/ recipes/). (Georgia Grown) Ingredients 4 medium Vidalia onions, peeled, top and bottom cut off 4 cloves roasted garlic cup blue cheese or gorgonzola, crumbled Salt & pepper Worcestershire sauce, if desired Hot sauce, if desired Instructions Preheat grill or oven to 350 degrees. Using a small ice cream scoop or melon baller, scoop center out of onions, making a 1 to 1 inch cavity. Reserve scooped onion for another use. Season cavity with salt & pepper. Put one roasted garlic clove and one tablespoon blue cheese in each cavity. Drizzle a few drops of Worcestershire Georgia Grown in Season Cabbage Carrots Collards Kale Lettuce Spinach Mushrooms Strawberries Vidalia Onions Turnips and hot sauce over blue cheese. Wrap each onion in aluminum foil, gathering foil on top, forming a pouch. Grill over indirect heat or bake for 4560 minutes or until soft. Unwrap and serve hot. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19, 2023 FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN 404-656-3722 agr.georgia.gov Fun on the Farm! An acre of activities for young people. PAGE 15 Georgie's Drive Thru Starr's Mill Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our #1 industry, agriculture! The other day, I detoured through Fayette County on the way home to visit Starr's Mill. The old mill sits silent on a mill pond where Whitewater Creek crosses Highway 85 near the Coweta County line. The first mill was built there by Hananiah Gilcoat when it was the edge of civilization in 1825. The area was named after Hilliard Starr, owner of the mill from 1866 through 1879. The current building was built by William T. Glower in 1907 and operated until 1959. It used a water turbine to power its machinery instead of a large external wheel like many other mills. Starr's Mill featured a corn mill, sawmill, cotton gin, and even a dynamo to produce electricity for nearby Senoia. Along with numerous other Georgia locations, including downtown Crawfordville, Starr's Mill was featured in the 2002 movie "Sweet Home Alabama." A painting of the property hung in Jake Perry's house and served as the storefront for his glassware business. The movie was released several years before the area was used as the backdrop for the television series, "The Walking Dead." Starr's Mill in Fayette County near Senoia was established in 1825 with the current structure built in 1907. The mill operated until 1959, using a water-powered turbine, to grind corn and operate a sawmill. (GDA/Lee Lancaster) Recipes for Tiny Tasters! Turkey bacon pinwheels Hey there kids!

Lameiras The University of Georgia An innovator in agribusiness and an exemplary public servant in Extension will be inducted into the Georgia Agricultural Hall of Fame on April 29 during the 67th University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CAES) Alumni Association Awards in Athens. The honorees are Raybon Anderson, the founder of Bulloch Fertilizer Company, Anderson's General Store and president of Raybon Anderson Farms Inc., and John C. Callaway Jr., a 1969 CAES alumnus and longtime UGA Cooperative Extension agent who has had an outsized impact on the cattle industry and youth livestock programs in Georgia. Established in 1972, the Georgia Agricultural Hall of Fame honors individuals making extraordinary contributions to agriculture and agribusiness industries in the state. Described as a steward and ambassador of the state's No. 1 industry, Raybon Anderson was raised on a farm in Nevils, a small community southwest of Statesboro in Bulloch County. Just months after graduating from Bulloch County High School in 1956, Anderson joined the U.S. Department of Agriculture, building a strong network of agricultural leaders across the county, in surrounding areas and throughout the state. In 1963, he founded Bulloch Fertilizer Inc. to provide local Raybon Anderson (left) and John C. Callaway Jr. are the 2023 inductees to the Georgia Agricultural Hall of Fame. producers with all their agricultural needs, from fertilizer and agricultural chemicals to services and livestock products, in one location. The company has garnered loyal customers over 60 years of operation, expanding to offer products and services to support the turfgrass market. In 2007, Anderson founded Andersons General Store, a retail operation supporting Bulloch Fertilizer Company and the community. John Callaway Jr., was born and reared on his family's farm outside of Hogansville, in the Corinth Community at the intersection of Troup, Heard and Coweta counties. It was at his family's farm that his love for agriculture was born. After graduating from CAES in 1969 with a degree in animal science, Callaway joined UGA Extension as an assistant county agent in Clarke County. After earning his master's degree in business administration in 1973, Callaway moved to Haralson County to become an Agriculture and Natural Resources agent, a position he served in until his retirement in 1998. Callaway's involvement in the Georgia Junior Livestock program has impacted hundreds of youth throughout the state. Upon his retirement from Extension, Callaway led efforts to build a county livestock pavilion for the 4-H and FFA youth of the community. During his career and beyond, Callaway has maintained a herd of beef cattle with mostly Angus and Simmental concentrations. Most recently, he created the 366-page Georgia cattle history book "Herds and Heritage" with the help of an editor. The 67th UGA CAES Alumni Association Awards will be held at noon on April 29 in the UGA Tate Student Center Grand Hall. Individual tickets and table sponsorships are available on the CAES website, https://www.caes.uga.edu/ news-events.html. Maria M. Lameiras is a managing editor with the Univer- sity of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. Prescribed Fire: PFTC provides guidance for using fire as a proper land management method Continued From Page 1 with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the U.S. Forest Service. They work with the federal Departments of Defense and Energy for prescribed burns at military bases and the Savannah River Site in South Carolina. The PFTC also trains on private land through its partnership with the Georgia Forestry Commission, according to Greg Seamon, a PFTC fire training specialist. "We get people from all over the country, and all over the world actually, because the Southeast is a place that is known for being able to do prescribed fire and do it under broad weather parameters. It's the perfect place to come and get that hands-on learning," Seamon said. Seamon explained that prescribed fire is an important management tool to reduce fuel loads, control invasive species, and promote ecosystem health. However, it is also dangerous and requires proper training and preparation. Training sessions cover basic prescribed fire methods and leadership skills for supervisory burn bosses and engine bosses. Seamon explained that prescribed fire is both an art and a science. It's science-based on methods used to burn to get the desired outcome, but also an art for adjusting to conditions at a moment's notice. "It can't all just be numbers and models," Seamon said. "When you put fire on the ground, things are going to happen, so you have to be fluid enough to move with that and keep changing to meet your objectives as weather or fuel conditions change." Seamon added that the number of days students have to burn is another factor that makes the Southeast an excellent place to train. "It's not unusual for a module with good weather where they are going to burn five, six, maybe eight days in a row before they have a weather pattern that knocks them out for a day," Seamon said. "It's that repetition and not where we will do it once and watch for the next 5-6 days, which may happen out West. Here, you have the opportunity to do it on Monday and then on Tuesday at a different site. The fuels are going to be different, and the objectives are going to be different." Seamon said the tactics learned by the trainees are guided by their objectives. One property may need to clear out dense underbrush, while at another site, the goal is to develop a better habitat for deer or quail. Other prescribed burn objectives benefit the timber industry, where trainees kill off competing hardwoods on a tree farm or perform a burn to limit scorching on pine trees. "We always say it's not just to make the ground black because if that's the case, you could light it one way, you would lose a lot, and you would have made it black, but that's not the idea. It's to burn to meet the objectives of that piece of property," said Seamon. For more information about the Prescribed Fire Training Center, go to www.nafri.gov/ pftc. Organic Growers: Non-profit supports agriculture with roots in farmer education, networking Continued From Page 1 conference has been at the core of the organization's history and mission, centered on farmer prosperity, environmental stewardship, climate change and racial equity. Having just wrapped up its 25th annual conference in Perry, the organization continues its longstanding partnership with the University of Georgia's College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and UGA Cooperative Extension. UGA Associate Professor and Extension Plant Pathologist Elizabeth Little, who presented at this year's conference, is on the organization's board of directors. Little, who describes organic production as a labor-intensive, complex process of problem-solving, has worked one-on-one with organic growers to help prevent disease by utilizing better production practices. "Disease management is especially challenging because there aren't any organic fungicides that work well, there is no silver bullet. I help farmers with growing techniques to prevent disease formation in the first place," she said. Despite its inherent challenges, organic production in Georgia is expanding but most likely underreported through the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Organic Program. While many farmers adhere to organic growing practices, they face challenges in the organic certification process, which can be cumbersome to acquire for new farmers due to extensive required paperwork and a high application fee. Georgia Organics endeavors to help farmers overcome these obstacles through their Farmer Services program, which pro- vides financial and technical assistance for farmers and ranchers transitioning to organic. Being counted as an official organic farm is important so that legislators see the value of organic production in the state, Little explained, because most research initiatives in CAES are predicated on the needs of Georgia farmers. At the county level, UGA Extension Agriculture and Natural Resources (ANR) agents are a unique asset to the organic farming community, providing free, science-based educational resources and services to directly support growers throughout the state. Beyond the services Extension provides to conventional producers, Clarke County ANR agent Laura Ney works directly with organic growers, carrying out on-farm research trials, connecting them with specialists and helping them find funding to help grow their businesses. In partnership with neighboring ANR agents from Barrow and Oglethorpe counties, Ney helped start the Athens-Area Sustainable Growers Network, which provides hands-on learning opportunities focusing on practical applications and creating networking opportunities for sustainable growers to support each other. "The good thing about the organic farming community is they are so tight-knit," said Newton County ANR agent Ashley Best, who hosted an organic farmer field day last month at UGA's Durham Horticulture Farm. Several CAES faculty members gave hands-on demon- strations on soil fertility, greenhouse production, field cultivation and food safety. "I got connected with the Farmer Services program at this year's Georgia Organics conference and asked for help advertising the field day. Through word of mouth, growers shared the information, and we had a great turnout of experienced organic farmers from around Georgia looking for more in-depth, technical growing information," Best said. When thinking about the future of organic production in Georgia, Rolls said continued partnerships and leadership initiatives like these will help accelerate the local and organic food movement. "Finally, we need major shifts in public policy," Rolls said. "Feeding our country and communities fresh, healthy food from local farmers should be at the center of our biggest food and farm legislation. That can work in tandem with proactive strategies to build soil health to draw down carbon. Its complex and challenging, but the local and organic food movement's dramatic growth and public support over the last 25 years should give us hope that positive change is indeed possible."
