Research shows peaches arrived in Georgia much earlier than thought

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
Georgia is called the Peach State today, but a new archaeological study appears to show that Georgia was THE Peach State in the 1530s earlier than previously thought.
Jacob Holland-Lulewicz, an assistant archaeology professor at Penn State University, led the study that utilized new technology in carbon dating on peach pits excavated from sites of Native Americans villages in the Oconee River valley before Georgia Power dammed the river to create Lake Oconee. The peach pits were excavated during the 1970s between Athens and Milledgeville and stored at the University of Georgia Laboratory of Archaeology.
In his study, Holland-Lulewicz used carbon dating on the peach pits to show that Native

Americans had peaches as early as 1530. That leaves the question of how did they get there.
Holland-Lulewicz, who earned his doctorate at UGA, explained his interest in interactions with Southeast indigenous people. He explained peaches could be used to tell that story.
"This fruit that is so central to our culture today in Georgia, the Muskogee, the Creek Indians, played a really big part in that," Holland-Lulewicz said. "It's like, `yes, it's European settlers, but it was also very much their interactions with indigenous people that made the peach so widespread. It's cool to bring them into the story of the Georgia peach."
Peaches are not native to North America but were introduced by the Spaniards. Hernando de Soto was the first European who explored the Georgia interior in 1539-40. After

UGA awarded $4 million to design farm of the future

Researchers at the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences have been awarded nearly $4 million from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) to develop a climate-smart "4-D Farm."
The project, The Digital and Data-Driven Demonstration Farm (4-D Farm): Juxtaposition of Climate-Smart and Circular Innovations for Future Farm Economies, is part of NIFA's investment in regional innovations for climate-smart agriculture and forestry.
Led by principal investigator Glen Rains, the project involves an interdisciplinary team across CAES, including researchers in sustainable precision agriculture, data science, livestock management, grass and forage management, crop production, UGA Extension and education programming, and autonomous and intelligent rover research and develop-

ment. Two sub awards were given to Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College (ABAC) and Clemson University. The project also includes a contracted social economist from Kansas State University.
The long-term goal of the 4-D Farm is to develop climate-smart production systems leveraging renewable energy, automation, intelligence and human capital to meet the required food and fiber needs of a burgeoning world population.
Executed across multiple sites in Georgia, the 4-D Farm will feature a 90-acre Demonstrating Applied Technology in Agriculture (DATA) farm on the ABAC campus in Tifton. With roughly half the acreage under a center-pivot irrigation system, researchers will rotate what is in the field to test various management systems.
"We'll start by adopting things we already know and then adapting them, whether it is precision planting and irrigation or UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles). It'll be a challenge, but we hope to be able to show what type of management

LERP Training: Preparation is key for responders to safely respond to livestock road accidents

Continued From Page 1

Later that year, on Oct. 1, another accident involving cattle occurred in Cobb County on I-285 at the intersection of I-75. That crash involved 89 calves from Florida. Eleven animals were killed in the crash. Some cows were trapped in the trailer, while others escaped and wandered into nearby woods.
Duggin explained that the number of traffic incidents in Georgia involving livestock has increased in recent years. Agriculture is Georgia's largest economic sector. The state leads the nation in poultry broiler production and has a significant local market for beef, hogs, goats and sheep.
Also, Georgia sits between Kentucky and Florida, both significant in the equine business, which means a lot of horses are transported through here. Duggin estimated roughly 400,000 head of livestock travel through Georgia daily.
"We've had noteworthy incidents, especially here in Cobb County, that you see all over the news, but they can happen on any interstate and any roadway in the state," Duggin said.
He added that the training in Cobb County was essential because metro Atlanta is a junction point where many animals pass through. Police, fire, medical, hazmat, and first responder personnel from other agencies near Atlanta also attended the training.
Proactive planning was the main message for LERP to help law enforcement and firefighters with the unique challenges they face during highway crashes involving farm animals. LERP training was first designed in the Midwest and in

collaboration with veterinary professionals and agricultural experts to empower first responders with the knowledge and strategies needed to handle such incidents effectively to ensure the safety of both humans and animals.
"Ideally, you want to have your plan in place and ready to go. You never want to start working on your plan on the side of the road at the scene of an incident," Duggin said.
Freddie McNabb with Marietta Wrecker Service said he found the training very useful. McNabb's company works with several public safety agencies across northwest metro Atlanta, and they will have their own LERP in place when called upon.
"The biggest thing is lining up everybody where we have their contact information. We have that list in our vehicles, so we know who we need to call because as soon as we get the call, we have to have our plan ready," McNabb said. "If they say cows are overturned, I need to get the cowboys in line, the veterinarians in line, and start calling these people to give them a head's up and know what's coming."
Duggin and Courtney Wilson, a GDA compliance specialist, discussed the importance of having a plan to contact anyone who could help in a livestock emergency on the highway.
Duggin urged the attendees to connect with local ranchers who could help round up stray animals or provide a place to keep them temporarily.
He suggested to the group that corral panels are a good

item to have or know where to get them quickly. He noted that the local University of Georgia Extension office is an excellent source for lining up people and resources.
As an accident scene is being secured and traffic management put in place, the health and welfare of animals in a highway incident is the primary concern.
Wilson said the GDA should be among the first to call after an accident and can assist in animal removal and safety. Having a veterinarian on call can also help emergency personnel assess and stabilize injured animals. A veterinarian can help coordinate necessary medical care on-site. When euthanasia is deemed necessary due to severe injuries, veterinarians can train responders to perform it humanely and responsibly.
State Veterinarian Janemarie Hennebelle said the Georgia Veterinary Medical Association is a great resource and has a find-a-vet feature on its website (https://gvma.net/directory-search/)
Duggin said LERP training sessions in Georgia are held three times each spring and twice each fall. The Cobb County session was the third scheduled this spring. Duggin said the fall sessions will be held in Jackson and Greene counties.

Support Georgia farmers, buy Georgia Grown

By Tyler Harper Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture

When you go to the gro-

cery store to buy food for

your family or to your fa-

vorite restaurant for a meal,

how often do you think

about the farmer who grew

the food you're about to en-

joy? For most Georgians,

particularly those who re-

side within our larger cities,

I think it's safe to say the

answer is not very often.

As Georgia's newly elected

Commissioner of Agricul-

ture, one of my goals is to

change that, because the reality is that every meal you enjoy, every product you

Tyler Harper, Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture

buy it all starts with a farmer.

Agriculture is Georgia's number one industry generating

more than $70 billion in economic impact annually, but for

the 400,000 hardworking Georgians who work in our indus-

try it is way more than just a job it's a way of life. Agricul-

ture is the backbone of our state, and the story of Georgia ag-

riculture is one rich with tradition and history. It's the story

of thousands of hardworking farm families who rise before

the dawn and work until after dusk to grow the food, fiber, and shelter that the rest of us rely on. For this 7th generation South Georgia farm boy, that's a story worth telling, and I can think of no better way to tell it than through the food our farmers grow.
The Georgia Grown program was established in 2012 to help us do just that by connecting farmers with consumers and new markets for their products locally and on a global scale. Georgia Grown is its own division within the Georgia Department of Agriculture with a team of dedicated professionals who help the more than 2,000 farmers and businesses who participate in the program increase the visibility of their products. From small mom-and-pop shops to operations farming thousands of acres, Georgia Grown members are certified local producers who proudly stamp their products with the Georgia Grown logo and their products are available for purchase at grocery stores, farmers markets, and restaurants across the state.
We are blessed to be one of the most agriculturally diverse states in the nation with more than 9.9 million acres involved in production agriculture and our favorable climate allows our farmers to grow a wide variety of seasonal crops. Whether it's sweet, juicy Georgia peaches in the spring or crisp North Georgia apples in the fall or the world renown Vidalia Onion, the quality of the products grown by Georgia farmers is unmatched. We are the number one producer in the nation of broiler chickens, peanuts, pecans, and forestry products, we're second in cotton lint and watermelon, and third in blueberries, peaches, and cantaloupe. More than in

any other state, Georgia consumers have the opportunity to purchase an incredibly wide variety of locally grown goods from corn to collards, strawberries to steaks, and everything in between.
Buying Georgia Grown products is a win-win for consumers and farmers alike. For you as a consumer, buying Georgia Grown means buying the freshest, most nutritious, and highest quality goods available while at the same time supporting the local economy. For our farmers, it means a greater share of the retail dollar goes back to the family farm and the farmer who grew it.
Georgia Grown products are available on the shelves at your local grocery store, at the weekend farmers market, and even online through direct-to-consumer sales. I encourage you to visit the Georgia Grown website to find markets and retailers near you - or take it a step further and visit one of our many agritourism operations and see the farmer you're supporting for yourself.
I am proud to represent Georgia's agriculture industry and the thousands of farm families who ensure its success. As your Agriculture Commissioner, I am also committed to ensuring our consumers are protected, that our food supply is safe and secure, and that you're able to find those fresh, Georgia Grown products at your favorite store, market, or restaurant across the state. So next time you visit the grocery store or visit your favorite restaurant to order that meal, I hope you think about the farmer, and I hope you'll choose to support that farmer by purchasing Georgia Grown products whenever you can.

Rhododendron announces spring in big way
Teresa Quinton of Loganville said she's not one to attract attention, but one cannot say the same for her rhododendron bush. "Everyone who sees it says it's the biggest they have ever seen," she said. Rhododendrons contribute to the color and smells of spring in Georgia, with some species growing up to 15 feet tall. Teresa said she wasn't sure exactly how tall her rhododendron was, so she had her grandson, Levi, who is five feet, three inches tall, stands in front of it for reference. (Photo: Teresa Quinton)

Georgia FFA-FCCLA Camp receives fencing donation
Harry Thompson, Ex Officio member of the Georgia Equine Commission, donated a quarter mile of fencing material to the Georgia FFA-FCCLA Camp in Newton County for their Equine Program at the Georgia FFA Convention in Macon on Friday, April 28. The camp has long had a horse program and housed several horses for use during camp and other events. The camp is working on improvements to the program this year, including new fencing. In addition to the planned improvements, some of the fences at the camp were damaged by thunderstorms and tornadoes this year. Thompson, president of the Colquitt County Cattlemen Association and a retired Agriculture teacher, won the fencing at the Georgia Cattlemen Convention in March and donated it to the camp to assist the program.

Georgie's Drive Thru Darien
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our #1 industry, agriculture! In Middle Georgia, the Ocmulgee and Oconee rivers merge near Uvalda (You-Val-Duh) to form the mighty Altamaha that flows into the ocean south of Darien. The river was named after the chief of the Yamasee tribe that lived near the mouth of the river. Even before European settlers came to the area, a strange and elusive creature, known as the Altamaha-ha, was said to lurk in the shallows and channels of McIntosh County.
Estimated sizes of the mysterious "Altie" range between 10 and 50 feet, with descriptions of the lizard-like animal swimming in an up-and-down motion. It has been spotted numerous times in the waters around Butler Island where rice patties once covered the landscape. If you want to try and find the Altamaha-ha, start your search along the Butler and Altamaha rivers near Butler Island where manatees can also be spotted swimming and foraging. The most recent sighting of "Altie" was by me, at the Darien-McIntosh County Visitor Center. There sits a beautiful, lifelike model of the Altamaha-ha created by Rick Spears, the model builder of numerous displays at museums throughout the state including the Fernbank Museum.

Peaches: Study shows peaches spread quickly from Georgia across Southeast in precolonial time

Continued From Page 1

St. Augustine in Florida was established as the first permanent Spanish settlement in North America in 1565, peaches became widespread across Georgia. Peaches eventually spread across the region over the next 30 years.
Holland-Lulewicz is working on publishing his findings and continuing the work to see how Native Americans spread peaches across the Southeast 200 years before Oglethorpe arrived in Georgia.
"Georgia is where I've done all of my preliminary dating, and now I'm going out from there," he said. "I've got some to date from North Carolina, from Tennessee, from Alabama and Arkansas, so if you imagine a big map and I'm trying to put arrows on maps with dates about when peaches showed up, and what I found is that peaches first spread into the what is now the United States through Georgia. This IS the Peach State."
Holland-Lulewicz's work could not have happened without Dean Wood and other UGA archaeologists. Wood, now an archaeologist with Southern Research Historic Preservation Consultants, was an archaeology graduate student in the 1970s when he directed excavations at four sites along the Oconee River that would later be submerged under Lake Oconee.
Wood explained that the Oconee River valley was one of the richest areas in Georgia in terms of Native American archaeological sites, where he and other UGA archaeologists spent time exploring and documenting.
The items the archaeologists found were stored at UGA for future study. Today's technology allows for more precise dating, but Wood noted that other research also provided a good reason to revisit the peach pits.

Researchers using carbon dating technology recently dated peach pits discarded by Native Americans in the Oconee River Valley from 1525 to 1530, much earlier than previously thought. The findings may provide new clues into how pre-colonial communities interacted with each other. (Photo: Jacob Holland-Lulewicz)

"Peach pits weren't that big a deal back then. We knew they were Spanish, but we really didn't understand exactly when or how they got there," Wood said, "so Jacob and his colleagues have decided to jump into it again and take the older data, run all these brand new radiocarbon dates, and come up with some pretty cool stuff."
Wood pointed to the research of Mark Williams, a co-author of the study. Williams, a retired archaeology professor at UGA, studied Oconee Valley chiefdoms, including the Ocute, ancestral people to the Muskogee Indians, and the first indigenous people DeSoto encountered. Also, through the years, written accounts from soldiers who traveled with DeSoto have been discovered and studied.
It is also a new approach to archaeology to engage with

Native American nations to try to tell the complete story of the early colonial period of the United States. RaeLynn Butler and Turner Hunt with the Muscogee Creek Nation's Historic and Cultural Preservation Department are co-authors of the study.
Holland-Lulewicz said he looks forward to exploring the social dynamics involved between indigenous people and seeing how society worked then. The peach arrived in Georgia first but spread rapidly across the Southeast to where it was a common sight by 1680.
"This is an entire interconnected landscape of indigenous communities through which peaches are spreading, so it's really cool," he said. "And especially being someone who loves Georgia and calls Georgia home, understanding how peaches became so central was a really cool thing to explore for me."

4-D Farm: Researchers look to integrate new technologies into farming practices
Continued From Page 1

programs pay off if producers want to integrate precision ag into their farming," said Rains, a professor in the CAES Department of Entomology.
Multiple Emerging Technology and Data Sites will be located on UGA research farms and a Data Management and Analysis Center will be housed on the UGA Tifton campus at the Future Farmstead Carriage House. The center will allow researchers to share real-time data collection, which could be a game changer for farmers.
"The goal is to be able to collect data and make in-season decisions on irrigation, fertilizer and growth regulators to make a better crop that same year," Rains said. "Traditionally we haven't been able to do much until yield is determined at the end of the growing season, then we make changes for the following year. Providing better, real-time information to reduce risk and increase knowledge is doable with advanced data analytics."
Michael Toews, professor and assistant dean of UGA-Tifton, is proud to have the project based on the south Georgia campus.
"This project leverages a wide breadth of scientific expertise to develop climate-smart technologies and solutions that are cementing UGA-Tifton's legacy as the destination for applied

research, Extension and instruction programs," Toews said. The 4-D Farm will diversify precision agriculture manage-
ment systems as well as the crops and livestock in the field. Researchers hope that their methods will provide more information about creating a diversified farming operation that is more profitable for farmers while showing increased efficiency and environmental benefits.
"Most currently funded research is driven by individual commodity and discipline needs and rarely investigates integrating multiple agricultural enterprises to improve farm resilience, so that the farmer does not have all their `eggs in one basket,'" Rains said. "In this project, data-driven farm strategies will be implemented to create an interdependent and diverse crop and livestock rotation that addresses the reduced effectiveness of chemical inputs, climate change effects, feeding an increasing population, loss of biodiversity and pollinators, water quality and quantity, rural economic sustainability, labor shortages, and supply chain disruptions."
Researchers will collect data on plant growth, air quality, soil health and more to develop and test resilient agricultural practices and assess the socioeconomic consequences of the

new technologies and practices. If successful, the project could benefit both producers and the planet.
Farmers and producers visiting the 4-D Farm will be able to see new technologies and practices in a hands-on environment, helping them determine whether they should invest in new management systems. The farm's multiple crop rotations will enable producers to see how to manage -- and make a profit from -- a different type of farming.
But Georgia's No. 1 industry should not be the only benefactor.
"If these practices show the benefits, we think they will -- reduced nitrogen, water waste, CO2 emissions, etc. -- and farmers adopt them, it creates a much better environment and climate conditions overall," Rains said. "This project can help us shape the future of farming, and I think we have the team in place to determine how to make it happen."

Georgia Cooking: Georgia Cane Syrup Glazed Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Just a touch of Georgia cane syrup amplifies the sweetness achieved through caramelizing the natural sugars in the sprouts during the roasting process. Pecans and pecan oil provide texture and a nutty flavor that complements the crispy charred bits. Maple syrup or molasses will work too, but Georgia cane syrup has a deep, unique flavor all its own.
Serves 8
Ingredients
2 lbs. Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved, with loose leaves
2 Tbsps pecan oil Salt and pepper cup pure cane syrup, maple syrup or
molasses

2 tablespoons chopped toasted pecans (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. In a bowl, toss Brussels sprouts with pecan oil, salt and pepper. Set bowl aside.
3. Arrange onto a rimmed baking sheet large enough to accommodate them in one layer.
4. Roast Brussels sprouts for 20 minutes, tossing halfway through the baking time, until the smaller leaves are crisp and the sprouts are beginning to brown in places.
5. Place syrup in a small microwave safe dish and heat for 1 minute. Remove

sprouts from the oven. Transfer to the bowl and toss with the hot syrup.
6. Return Brussels sprouts to the pan and roast for 10 minutes more.
7. Arrange on a serving dish, and sprinkle with the chopped pecans, if using. Serve immediately.
