AgTech Summit discusses next steps in using new technologies

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
Technological innovation in agriculture and food production promises to make the work more efficient. Attendees of the AgTech Summit in Macon addressed the obvious question: How do we use this new technology?
The Georgia Department of Economic Development hosted the summit on June 7 at Middle Georgia State University's Macon campus. Last month's first International Conference for Integrative Precision Agriculture held at the University of Georgia showcased new technologies and was presented by scientists and academic researchers. The AgTech Summit featured lenders and entrepreneurs working in agriculture to discuss ways to use the technology now and pave the way for its use in the near future.
In welcoming remarks, Dominic LaRiccia, director of field services at the Georgia Department of Agriculture, evoked the story of Adam and Eve, where God cast them out of the Garden of Eden. "Since the beginning of time, and thanks to Adam and Eve, we've had to take care of God's garden," he said.
"But we have to make sure the garden is here for future generations. That is sustainable agriculture. How do you achieve sustainable agriculture?" LaRiccia said. "With innovation. With technology. With precision. All of

The keynote panel at the Georgia AgTech Summit in Macon discussed how farmers and producers can take advantage of new technologies. From left to right: Jamal Lewis, Partnership for Inclusive Innovation; Krisztian Varsa, Working Farms Fund; Kashi Sehgal, founder and CEO of Retaaza; Lily Baucom, Georgia Foundation for Agriculture; and Alex McLemore, Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. (Georgia Center of Innovation/Bonnie Moret)

these things will work together to make sure that 150 years from now, generations will have somewhere to plant and grow and harvest and process the food, fiber, and fuel this country needs."

During the keynote panel discussion, the moderator, Jamal Lewis, Economic Opportunity manager for Georgia's Partnership for Inclusive Innovation, asked the panel what changes are needed now to foster innovation

in agriculture. Kashi Sehgal, founder and CEO, Retaa-
za, specializes in supply chain efficiency and reducing food waste. She said better coordination between food distributors and farmers could benefit both.
"We are at a place and time where we can create something like this. It may be a public-private partnership, but why can't we create something that leads the nation in how we treat our farmers, educate our farmers, and handle the food waste," Sehgal said. "If we would sell the food that goes to waste here in Georgia, just by farmers, our industry dollars would skyrocket. Thirty percent of food grown here goes to waste, so think about that in terms of dollars and the impact it would have on local economies."
Alex McLemore, an Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College professor, addressed what farmers can do now with technology, especially small farm operations. McLemore leads an ABAC project to teach farmers to use advanced technology.
He said the key for today's farmers is using tools available now, knowing what kind of data from the operations would be useful, and then finding a way to collect the data to make informed business decisions.
"I think the one thing on a small farm to

Georgia growers riding high on cotton boom during 2022 season
By Emily Cabrera The University of Georgia

Georgia cotton growers are starting the 2023 season with a boost from near-record-breaking yields last year. The United States Department of Agriculture released final yield data in late May, confirming the second-highest yields on record, as University of Georgia cotton experts in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences forecasted.
"Our final number last year was 1,002 pounds per acre," said Camp Hand, assistant professor in the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences and cotton specialist for UGA Cooperative Extension. "The record was set in 2012 with 1,091 pounds per acre, so it was a very close second."
Cotton ranks No. 1 in production value among row and forage crops in Georgia and second in the nation, according to the 2023 Ag Snapshots report produced by the UGA Center for Agribusiness and Economic Development. On average, cotton contributes more than $1 billion annually to the state's economy.
See COTTON BOOM, page 16

Cotton growers had an exceptional year in 2022 with near record-breaking yields and high market prices for the state's top commodity crop. (UGA-CAES/Clint Thompson)

Mercer Medical: Beat the Heat by knowing how to prevent heat stroke

By Matthew Beblowski Third-year MD student Mercer University School of Medicine

As we enter the summer months and temperatures rise, it is important to avoid heat injuries. Heat stroke is a potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when the body's core temperature rises above 104 F due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures. It can affect anyone, but is particularly dangerous for the elderly, young children, athletes, and individuals with certain medical conditions. Fortunately, heat stroke is preventable by taking simple precautions and following a few key guidelines. This article outlines steps you can take to avoid overheating and heatstroke.
Stay Hydrated. One of the most important steps in preventing heat stroke is maintaining your hydration. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even when you don't feel thirsty. Increase the amount of water you drink when doing physical activity. Sports drinks, in moderation, can be used to replenish lost electrolytes when exercising. Avoid alcoholic, caffeinated, and sugary beverages because they can lead to dehydration.
Dress Appropriately. Wear clothing that is loose-fitting, breathable, and light colored. Wearing heavy clothing or tight clothing can inhibit your body's ability to cool itself. Apply sunscreen to prevent sunburn, which can impair your body's ability to regulate temperature. Additionally, consider wearing hats and sunglasses to protect yourself from direct UV exposure.
Avoid the Hottest Times of the Day. Be aware of peak temperatures throughout the day. This is usually between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm. Try to spend most of your outdoor time in the morning and evening when temperatures are relatively cooler, and you're not exposed to direct sun rays. If you are out for prolonged periods, remember to seek shady areas or create your own with an umbrella.
Take Regular Breaks. Whether you are camping, hiking, exercising, or engaging in outdoor work, remember to take regular breaks. Try to take breaks in shady or air-conditioned areas. Use this time to hydrate and rest your body. This will allow you to continue to enjoy your outdoor activities.
Stay Informed. Be aware of the different signs and symptoms of heat stroke. This includes high body tempera-

ture, profuse sweating or dry hot skin, flushed skin, rapid breathing, heart racing, headache, nausea, dizziness, and confusion. If you or someone you know has these symptoms check the body's temperature and seek medical attention. Identifying these warning signs and acting appropriately can be lifesaving.
Pace Yourself. Allow yourself time to adjust to the rising temperatures. Gradually increasing your exposure to heat will give your body a chance to adapt to the heat. People who are not acclimated to hot conditions are more susceptible to heat stroke. Pace yourself and listen to your body. If your heart starts pounding or you begin gasping for air during activity, stop and seek out a cool place to rest and hydrate.

Keep an Eye on Vulnerable Populations. Pay attention to the elderly, young, pregnant, and individual's with chronic illnesses (heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes, etc.) or disabilities during summer months. These groups are susceptible to dehydration and heat stroke. Check on these individuals regularly, ensure they are staying hydrated and are taking regular breaks.
Heat stroke is a potentially life-threatening condition, luckily it can be avoided easily. To stay safe during the summer months, it is important to prioritize these measures. By adopting these practices, we can significantly reduce the risk of heat stroke. Remember prevention is key to enjoying the summer while keeping ourselves and our loved ones safe.

Celebrate Georgia dairy this month and year round

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
June is recognized as National Dairy Month, which began as a way for grocers to distribute extra milk during the warm months of summer. The commemoration was established in 1937 by grocery organizations sponsoring National Milk Month. By 1939, June became the official dairy month, encouraging families to make milk their beverage of choice based on its nutritional value.
Trusted for decades, dairy farm families pride themselves on producing dairy foods that help their families grow up strong and healthy. Dairy farmers strive daily to produce wholesome milk and milk products that families can feel good about eating. June is recognized as National Dairy Month to pay tribute to nutritious dairy products like milk and the hardworking dairy farmers who help produce it.
Milk contains thirteen essential nutrients for building healthy bodies, and Georgia's dairy farmers work daily to ensure their communities have access to nutritious dairy products. These local dairy farms help supply schools, restaurants, and grocery stores with delicious milk, cheeses, ice cream, yogurt and more.
Dairy's rich history continues with communities, companies and people from across the country observing National Dairy Month and recognizing the contribution of dairy farmers throughout the year. You can learn about Georgia's dairy industry by planning a visit to a dairy farm to learn directly from the

state's hardworking dairy farmers. Several dairies in Georgia are open to the
public. Many others across the state offer tours to local schoolchildren.
Mountain Fresh Creamery, Clermont:
At this family-owned dairy farm and creamery, the public can experience the final stages of real-time production of high-quality, farmfresh milk, butter and ice cream. To learn more, visit https://mountainfreshcreamery.com.
Hillcrest Farms, Dearing: The 90-minute tour at Georgia's first robotic dairy farm

is taken by a trolley ride through all parts of the farm. Visitors can watch the cows being milked at the Robotic Observation Room. To learn more, visit www.hillcrestdairy.com.
Big Sandy Creek Dairy, Madison: Big Sandy Creek Dairy offers the opportunity to watch a live milking demonstration and other farm activities, like a hayride, petting zoo, ice cream and more. Farm tours are approximately 90 minutes long and vary based on the group size. To learn more, visit www.bigsandycreekdairy.com.

Rock House Creamery, Newborn: Immerse yourself in the world of Rock House Creamery and Garden. You can meet beautiful dairy cows, learn about the cream-line milk process from cow to bottle, and sample milk and Rock House Creamery's delicious cheese curds. To learn more, visit http://rockhousecreamery.com.
Sweet Grass Dairy, Thomasville: Sweet Grass Dairy is a 140-acre family-owned and operated farm in southern Georgia. Their award-winning cheeses are made from the milk of Jersey Cows and delivered with exceptional quality at their restaurant and store in downtown Thomasville. To learn more, visit https://sweetgrassdairy.com.
Dairy is an essential commodity in Georgia. Our state has 95 dairy farms with a total herd of 92,000 dairy cows. In 2022, Georgia dairy cows produced 235 million gallons of milk. According to the Dairy Alliance, Macon, Sumter, Brooks, Burke, Morgan, and Putnam are the top five milk-producing counties.
You can support Georgia dairy producers by purchasing brands produced here in Georgia, such as Mountain Fresh, Southern Swiss, Rock House, Sweet Grass, and Hobo Cheese Company. Purchasing a jug of Kroger, Publix, Mayfield, or PET brand milk also supports Georgia producers.
This summer, take a family drive to the country and visit a dairy in Georgia. The Dairy Alliance has a webpage to locate a dairy in the Southeast at https://thedairyalliance.com/group-classroom-dairy-farm-toursstate/.

work on is methods on collecting data efficiently and automating that, and that's not necessarily having expensive sensors; That's using the phone you have in your pocket now and getting that into structured data," he said.
McLemore offered as an example of technology now the smartphone app IFTTT, which can connect devices and services and log them into a spreadsheet. The app's name comes from the programming condition statement, "If this, then that."
"You can have it where you push a button, and it automatically logs, you've done this, and you've done that, and that right there will put structured data in a spreadsheet," McLemore said. "At the end of the month or end of the pay cycle, you can look down and see where they spent their time and spent their money."
Lily Baucom, executive director of the Georgia Foundation for Agriculture, spoke about preparing the next generation of farmers at elementary schools now. She said students

are interested in technology but don't know much about agriculture. She said the challenge is how to pair the two together.
"It's really about planting the seed at the elementary age to get them interested in and excited about agriculture," Baucom said. "We're not just talking to them about cows and plows but also about drones and what the future of farming will look like."
Georgia has an agricultural curriculum at the middle and high school level, where classrooms can blend in with extra-curricular activities in 4-H and FFA. Last year, ag education classes were expanded to elementary schools.
To help in that area, the GFA launched a mobile agricultural classroom called the Georgia Ag Experience. The high-tech classroom on wheels provides activities and lessons that show how technology and agriculture come together. Baucom said last school year, Georgia Ag Experience reached 40,000 students.
"It's really important that we start talking

about what farming in Georgia looks like and what it can look like," Baucom said. "The kids are interested in the industry through a technology lens because that's their language."
Krisztian Varsa, program manager in Georgia for the Working Farms Fund, talked about how to help farmers through access to capital to purchase or expand farming operations and conserve farmland. The Working Farms Fund is a program of the Conservation Fund geared toward preserving farmland across the country.
Varsa was asked what is needed to foster entrepreneurship in agriculture. He said entrepreneurship comes from the people who want to get into agriculture. The key is providing them with opportunities to do so.
"Farmers bring entrepreneurship. We come behind and bring the capital," Varsa said. "Capital is the No. 1 way to foster entrepreneurship. Someone who has an idea and wants to execute that idea needs the resources

to do so." Varsa thanked Georgia Agriculture Com-
missioner Tyler Harper for lobbying for Senate Bill 220, signed into law by Gov. Brian Kemp earlier this year, that created the Georgia Farmland Conservation Fund. The Department of Agriculture will administer the fund and provide matching grants to certain holders or prospective holders of agricultural conservation easements.
"What that means is that farmers across the state could have the opportunity to expand their entrepreneurship in being paid for a conservation easement on their property," Varsa said. "It gives them the ability to transition land into cash that they would be able to reinvest into their farm."

Georgie's Drive
Thru Lyons
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our #1 industry, agriculture! As we celebrate Independence Day, let us give thanks for those who gave their lives to keep us free. In the heart of Lyons, there is a memorial to one of these heroes where he once played football for the Toombs County Bulldogs at Booster Stadium. Staff Sergeant Dustin Wright was a green beret who was killed in an ambush in 2017 by ISIS fighters in Niger, a country in central Africa.
His memorial quotes a Facebook post he made shortly before his death. "War does cost an enormous amount in money and lives. But, if we, America, aren't going to stop the pure evil in this world, then who else can or will? I joined the Army knowing I was going to war. I knew the risks to my life, as did everyone in the service. Let us do our job. Because stopping tyranny, oppression and pure evil shouldn't have a price tag. Especially when there are people willing to give their lives to stop it. All that is necessary for the triumph of evil, is that good men do nothing."

Thousands of festival goers and over 180 arts and crafts vendors filled the streets of downtown LaFayette for the annual pollinator palooza featuring music, food, and craft vendors across the region.
GBA members provided information on the role of honeybees in pollinating plants that make the food we eat every day, shared recipes that use honey creatively, and spread the word about Georgia's Save the Honeybee license plate.
The Georgia honeybee license plate is available to anyone - not just beekeepers. Anyone purchasing a Georgia honeybee license plate can contribute to the grant program that makes educational programs like these possible across Georgia. For more information, visit https://gabeekeeping.com.

Cotton Boom: Good weather conditions contribute to strong 2022 cotton harvest
Continued From Page 1

Although planted acres will likely be down by about 100,000 acres this year due to normal crop rotation, Hand hopes cotton growers will see another good year for yields weather-depending.
"Cotton is one of those crops that is highly dependent on the weather," said Hand. "Much of last year's success can be attributed to the exceptional environmental conditions we experienced throughout the season."
While higher-than-normal temperatures last June may have set other crops back, Hand believes it was a contributing factor to high cotton yields.
"The heat early in the season slowed down plant growth and forced the plant to conserve energy and redirect plant nutrients and resources into fruit retention. A cotton crop only retains about 40 percent of the fruit that it produces over the entire season, as it can only

support a certain fruit load," he said. "Because plants slowed down in response to the higher temperatures, growers didn't need to apply as much plant growth regulator, which had positive, long-lasting impacts for the rest of the season."
Cotton typically grows throughout August and fully matures by September, when the harvest season begins.
The weather at harvest is critical, Hand explained. Overcast, rainy, and humid weather prevails in Georgia from late August into early September, increasing the risk of crop loss to diseases such as boll rot and a condition called hard lock, which occurs when a boll opens but remains damp and fails to fluff out normally.
"The weather is honestly what can make or break a season. There's only so much we can do as researchers. A lot of the way things shake out has a lot more to do with the specific

conditions of the year," said Hand. Due to cotton's nature and weather vari-
ability, members of the UGA Cotton Team have a unique relationship with growers, with near-constant monitoring and regular information sharing to help keep growers and industry stakeholders apprised of the latest recommendations through their newsletter, blog, training, and direct communications with industry members and growers.
"Members of the cotton team can't assume credit for such high yields last year; the environmental conditions we had were fantastic," said Hand, "but I will say that some of the things that we're researching, such as new varieties and pest management techniques definitely help put growers in the position to take advantage of those good environmental conditions and capitalize on them."
Fortuitously, market prices for cotton were

at a near all-time high last year, further benefiting growers, Hand said. "It's usually one or the other, either high yield or high prices, so it was a great year for cotton all around."
Last year, contracts went for between $0.95-$1.25 per pound a great price for cotton, said Hand. He added that contracts are hovering between $0.80 and $0.85 per pound this year.
"In the meantime, I'm out driving around the state, walking through fields, writing blog posts, and talking with my colleagues to get the best, most timely information out the door for growers to take advantage of whatever conditions we have this year," Hand said.
