Water plants right to get them through the summer heat

By Sheri Dorn
The University of Georgia
As summer heats up, Georgians tend to worry about how hot it's going to be and how dry. To properly care for the plants in our landscapes and gardens this July, also known as Smart Irrigation Month, residents need to pay a little extra attention to temperatures and rainfall in order to supplement water when needed.
It is easy to get busy with summer activities and forget to water or even overwater our plants because we want to be sure they will survive the heat. Monitor rainfall amounts regularly and consider using reminders on your phone or calendar to check on your plants.
Identify how much water your plants need On average, plants need an inch of water per week for growth and development. Summer rainfall can produce this amount of water, but it may come all at once, in a short storm, and not truly soak into the ground. Checking weather apps or websites like the Georgia Weather Network can provide information about weekly rainfall and soil moisture, or you can monitor soil moisture the old-fashioned way -- go outside,

stick your finger in the soil, or try to dig up a scoop. There are times when providing extra water is especially
important for plant survival. When they are first installed, plants need water more frequently. Depending upon how the plant was produced and site conditions like sun exposure, wind, soil characteristics and temperatures, newly installed plants can require water daily until they root in enough to use water in the surrounding soil. As these new plants get established, the need to provide supplemental water decreases.
Water is also critical to plants in their first year. If you installed new plants earlier this year to take advantage of cooler temperatures and spring rains, be sure to check them throughout this summer and fall. If the summer turns out hot and dry, they'll need some additional water. They simply do not yet have expansive root systems to access moisture in the soil as summer gets warm and dry. If we go longer than a week without rain, especially with temperatures above 85 F, consider providing supplemental water to prevent or reduce plant stress.
Just as it is important to give plants enough water, it is equally important to avoid overwatering them. Too much wa-

New book details Georgia's part in 1970s farmers' protests

By Jay Jones jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov

Lee Lancaster said he wanted to document a part of history in his book, "The Georgia Farmers' Strike," that many people may not know about. The book grew from an article he wrote for the Market Bulletin after watching news coverage of the truckers' convoy in Ottawa, Canada in early 2022. (Special Photo/Lee Lancaster)

The Market Bulletin's Lee Lancaster recently published "The Georgia Farmers' Strike," a book providing a look at the Georgia experience in a national movement by farmers in the late 1970s. Farmers then faced high input costs against low payment for their crops on the market or through crop insurance coverage, which led them to organize protests.
The climax of the protests was a tractorcade of thousands of farmers driving their equipment to Washington, DC, in 1979. Farmers in Georgia organized themselves,

led protests in then-President Jimmy Carter's hometown of Plains, and drove tractors onto the steps of the Georgia Capital in Atlanta a year earlier.
Lancaster said the similarities between today and 45 years ago are striking. Inflation was high, a Democratic president was in his first term, and Congress debated a new Farm Bill. "We are reliving a lot of that now," Lancaster said. "The Russians attacked Afghanistan then, and now we got Russians in Ukraine. There's so much going on now that mirrors what happened back in those days."
The conversation here has been edited for length and clarity.

What got you started in writing this book?
There was a truckers' strike in Ottawa (the "Freedom Convoy" in early 2022), and somehow the conversation shifted to an event that happened in Washington. Tucker Carlson was covering the Ottawa strike on his show, and he then, just in passing, alluded to the fact when tractors came to Washington.
My daddy had always talked about the time they drove the tractors to Atlanta, and I asked him if he had any pictures. Amy (Carter, previous Market Bulletin editor) asked if I could get a story together.

Mercer Medical: What you need to know about COPD

By Sinead O'Bryant Third-year MD student Mercer University School of Medicine

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, abbreviated COPD, is a lung disease that causes airflow to become blocked within the lungs. There are over 15 million adults with COPD in the United States, where it is the fourth leading cause of death. The percentage of adults in rural areas diagnosed with COPD is nearly double that in large metropolitan areas.
In COPD, air can flow into the lungs but becomes trapped in air sacs and cannot move out of the chest when breathing out. Over time, less and less air is able to flow into the lungs. COPD is most commonly caused by long-term exposure to cigarette smoking, pipe smoke, and secondhand smoke. Less common lung irritants causing COPD include air pollution and frequently breathing in dust, smoke, and/or fumes. COPD is hereditary in about 1 percent of all patients with COPD who have the genetic disease Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Deficiency. Some common symptoms of COPD include: Difficulty with breathing or shortness of breath, especially with exertion Chronic cough Mucus (also known as sputum or phlegm) production Wheezing or chest tightness Frequent respiratory infections ranging from the common cold to pneumonia COPD can be broken down into two common conditions. Most patients will have a combination of these conditions, which can vary in severity: 1. Chronic bronchitis: the tubes carrying air throughout the lungs (known as bronchi and bronchioles) become inflamed. This causes the production of mucus (sputum/ phlegm) in the airways. 2. Emphysema: the air sacs (known as alveoli) within the lungs are damaged due to lung irritants such as cigarette smoke. Normally, these air sacs fill up and deflate with air, like a balloon. These air sacs are important for exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide between your breath and the blood in your bloodstream. However, in COPD, the air sacs cannot let the air flow out; and the air becomes trapped

Over 15 million adults have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the US, and the percentage of adults in rural areas diagnosed with COPD is nearly double that in large metropolitan areas. There is no cure for (COPD), but with good management, patients can control symptoms and pursue an excellent quality of life. (CDC/Special Photo)

inside the lungs. Your doctor can use spirometry testing to diagnose COPD. Spirometry is a non-invasive test that measures how well your lungs function and is used to assess the severity of COPD according to different standards of classification. COPD is a progressive disease that can continue to worsen over time. Some individuals with COPD may also experience acute flare-ups or worsening of their COPD symptoms, known as exacerbations. COPD may also increase the risk of developing lung cancer, pulmonary hypertension, recurrent and prolonged respiratory infections, and heart disease. Because COPD is a progressive disease, there are some

ways to prevent its progress: Most importantly, STOP SMOKING. Talk to your doctor
about strategies and medical therapy to quit tobacco use. Talk to your doctor about what medical treatment would be
right for you. Exercise and eat a well-rounded diet. Make sure you are up to date on vaccinations and annual
flu vaccines. Although there is no cure for COPD, with good management, patients with COPD can have manageable symptom control and excellent quality of life.

Georgia Cattlemen's Association seeks to grow membership

Staff Reports

Georgia Cattlemen's Association announced a new mem-

bership drive for the year called the 110x10 Drive intending to

increase GCA rolls by 23 percent in new and returning mem-

bers.

GCA President Joe Garner an-

nounced the goal during the GCA state

convention at the Iron Works in Colum-

bus this spring. He said the GCA has

provided a strong voice for ranchers at

the State Capital and throughout the

year to support issues important to the

cattle industry in Georgia. He noted

that GCA representation could be even

stronger with a larger membership.

"We must unite as one voice under

Joe Garner

our GCA umbrella to ward off undue

causes that may negatively impact our

operations. We believe in the cattle industry, so therefore, we

work hard to increase membership which currently totals 5,000

members," Garner said.

"We must continue to reach out and enlist new members and

renew tardy members so our voice can be heard," Garner said.

"The membership drive is called the 110x10 campaign. We are

asking 110 members to sign up 10 new or overdue members." Garner will serve as a co-chair of the 110x10 Membership
Drive. Other drive leaders include Cleve Jackson, co-chair; Danny Bentley, Billy Moss, Justin Hand, Howard Johnson, Bryson Smith, Travis Young and Hailey Partain. Dale Sandlin, GCA executive vice president, will also serve.
Cleve Jackson and his family own Jackson Farms in Cave Springs, manage 115 commercial Angus cows, and sell black or black bald-faced feeder calves each fall. He is a member of the GCA Executive Committee.
Danny Bentley is the current Executive Committee vice president. Bentley's passion for the cattle industry started in high school while working for Windsweep Farm in Upson County.
Billy Moss is the secretary-treasurer of the Jackson County Cattleman's Association and enjoys a small herd of Sim-Angus cattle. He joined GCA in 1974 when he was an Agriculture teacher.
Justin Hand currently serves as president of the Young Cattlemen's Council. His father is a cattle buyer, and Hand started his herd from purchases at a local auction. Hand is the ANR agent at the Tift County University of Georgia Extension Service.
Howard Johnson has 34 years of business experience. He championed member recruitment for the GCA and is a mem-

ber of the GCA Events Committee. Johnson has a local freezer beef business.
Bryson Smith is president of the Georgia Junior Cattlemen's Association and is a junior at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, working on a degree in livestock production. He works for the UGA Bull Test Center in Tifton.
Travis Young is GCA regional vice president for Region 11. Young is also the local president of the Laurens Cattlemen's Association. Young operates several businesses with his cattle operations, including home construction and custom hay baling.
Hailey Partain is president of the Georgia Cattle Women's Association. Partain works for UGA Extension in Lamar and Upson counties and supports statewide animal science programs for youth and adults.
GCA has worked for ranchers since 1961 by offering legislative representation and producer education, marketing development, and community outreach. For more information, visit https://georgiacattlemen.org, click on the membership tab and choose your category.

Focus on Food: Steps to take to advance a new food business

Editor's note: Wendy White with Georgia Tech's Georgia Manufacturing Extension Partnership (GaMEP) starts a new monthly column for the Market Bulletin that will offer information on starting and improving businesses with a focus on food processing, safety and quality.
By Wendy White
Georgia Tech, GaMEP
Recently, Georgia is experiencing a surge of new farmers, food processors, livestock operators, and agritourism, covering everything from urban greenhouses to beekeeping. This entrepreneurial renaissance was primarily caused by unexpected free time and sporadic food shortages from the pandemic. Unable to access restaurants and forced to stay home, people started experimenting with flavors and expanding home gardens. Some hit gold and realized they might be able to share their passion with others and make some extra money. Many have found that creativity is the easy part, but turning a hobby into a real company can be a daunting process. It's important to create a business plan, understand the proper licensing and applicable food safety regulations, and take advantage of all available resources.
Creating a Business Plan A written business plan is vital to capture your overall strategy, document the costs and resources, identify your target customer, and obtain the necessary processing space and equipment. You'll have to consider the logistics of processing your product and getting it to your customers. There are many different options for production, such as working out of your home, using a shared kitchen, having a co-manufacturer make your product, or finding a processing space of your own. There are product considerations to keep in mind, like scaling up your recipe, shelf-life, refrigeration, packaging, special labeling, and applicable regulations. There are also many options for selling your products, such as farmers' markets, local retail stores, and online sales. Many creative entrepreneurs are eager to offer dozens of different colors and flavors, but it might be best to limit your offerings initially. This will decrease necessary ingredients, allow you to increase batch size, simplify production, and lower costs. It's also vital to conduct interviews to really know your target customer, to make smart business decisions, and properly market your brand. Make sure you have a sufficient customer base. For example, the demand for kombucha (fermented tea) is really starting to take off in larger cities in the South but isn't so popular in more rural areas. Finally, it's important to truly understand your costs and create a realistic budget. While many businesses take

Tech, including a food safety workshop last year. (GaMEP/Special

time to turn a profit, you don't want this new venture to hurt your family financially. Stable growth is almost always the secret to long-term success.
Getting Started with the Correct Licenses There are a few licenses that are required for all food businesses in Georgia. The first stop should be the Georgia Secretary of State's website. You'll also need to check if a county or city business license is required where you live. Next, you'll need to determine what governmental agency will oversee your business. County health departments oversee restaurants, catering, and food trucks. The Georgia Department of Agriculture (GDA) oversees food production and retail stores. They manage a wide variety of food products. Still, the main types of GDA food licenses are Retail Store Food Safety Licenses and Cottage Foods Licenses for production of low-risk foods (baked goods, candy, jelly, etc.) made in your home and sold directly to the consumer. Most all other food production (refrigerated foods, sauces, etc.) is covered by a Manufactured Foods License for food made in a commercial kitchen. Bigger production facilities might also need to be federal-

ly inspected by either the United States Department of Agriculture for meat, poultry, and processed eggs or the Food and Drug Administration for most other food items, dietary supplements, drugs, and cosmetics. There are also special food safety regulations for items such as seafood, juice, acidified foods (BBQ sauce, salsa, etc.), low-acid canned foods, dairy products, etc.
Finding Help Starting a small business is challenging, but there are many resources available to help you along the way. University extension is an excellent source of knowledge, utilizing experts from across the state. Here are just a few options: Georgia Tech's Georgia Manufacturing Extension Partnership (GaMEP): https://gamep.org/industry-focusareas/food-beverage/. UGAs Cooperative Extension Agents: https://extension. uga.edu/county-offices.html. UGAs Food Science Department and Food Product Innovation Center (Food PIC): https://foodscience.caes. uga.edu/extension.html and https://foodpic.uga.edu/. UGA's Small Business Development Center (SBDC): https://www.georgiasbdc.org/. ABAC Agricultural Extension: https://www.abac.edu/ department/ag-natural-resources/education/. There are non-profit organizations which provide a community of people with similar goals to offer advice and support: Georgia Grown and the Georgia Grown Innovation Center: https://georgiagrown.com/. Food Well Alliance: https://www.foodwellalliance.org/. Georgia Organics: https://www.georgiaorganics.org/. Thousands of Georgians have been able to turn their passion into a thriving food business, but it takes careful planning and support to turn these dreams into a reality.

Farmers' Strike: Book spotlights Georgia farmers who protested in Atlanta, Washington in the 1970s

Continued From Page 1

Lee added that the story he wrote (June 1, 2022, in the Market Bulletin) was the basis for the book. "That one article on the back page of the Bulletin is pretty much part of a chapter in the book," Lancaster said.
What was going on back then to get
farmers angry enough to protest?
Earl Butts was the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture in the early 70s, and he told everybody to buy bigger equipment, get big or get out -- plant from post to post; basically, over plant. After Jimmy Carter was elected in 1976, commodity prices were 40 percent of its production cost. It basically cost $5 to produce a bushel of wheat, but that bushel was bringing $2. That's where the strike came from. Also, remember we were coming out of the oil crisis when gas prices sky-rocketed, so farmers were dealing with that, too.
They said, `We're not going to produce anything else until we get parity.' You heard that a lot about parity back then. It was an old formula the USDA came up with around World War II that said if it costs this much to produce, it should cost that much at the marketplace. That's where the parity came in. Stock traders didn't want to give you par-

ity. They wanted to give you as little as they possibly could, whether or not it was less than what it cost to produce. That was the farmers' problem.
Who did you talk to for the book?
I talked to everybody my daddy's age and older who is still alive. There are a lot of farmers that I have known since I was a little boy. Luckily, they were glad to talk about it because the knowledge of it is like sand slipping through your fingers. Tommy Kersey had died. Leighton Kersey had died, and Tommy Fulford had died. All three were really big participants in the strike.
My daddy drove a John Deere 2020 to the state capital. When I started, I talked with Sonny Stapleton, and that was when I found out something had happened that I had never known about. What Sonny told me was so foreign to my ears that I could not understand what he was talking about.
Sonny went to Washington and saw tractors parked on the National Mall. The farmers planned on driving the tractorcade through Washington, DC, every day until they got what they wanted. Well, that didn't happen because they got trapped in the mall. He said the city parked a bunch of buses

around the mall to keep the tractors in. And this was not a bunch of guys out of
Nebraska. They got those buses all around

to block the tractors. People from Eastman, Unadilla. People from Bainbridge, Moultrie, Springfield, Dublin, Alamo, Alma, all these places. They all went up there, driving 18-16 MPH to make a point.
What do you hope people get out of reading the book?
A lot of stuff went on in other states, but I wanted it to be about what was going on in Georgia. And if it didn't happen in Georgia, I wanted to get the perspective of Georgia farmers. It was the Georgia farmers' strike, even though it was part of a nationwide deal. I laid the foundation about what happened and where it came from and showed how it related to people in Georgia.
"The Georgia Farmers' Strike" is available for pre-order online through Amazon and Barnes and Noble and other retailers.
Lee Lancaster, who is a contributing writer for the Georgia Farmers and Consumers Market Bulletin, published his first book this year. The book recounts events in Georgia surrounding the
American Agriculture Movement during the Carter
Administration in the late 1970s. (Special Photo/Lee

Georgia Cooking: Summer Succotash Salad

Our friends at the Georgia Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association offered this recipe for their "Every Bite Counts" promotion in 2022, which educated the public on the importance of buying local produce. Succotash is a popular Southern dish that is easy to make and adds color to any table. Add a cup of grilled zucchini or yellow squash chopped to increase servings and add more color to this colorful dish.
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serves 4-6
Ingredients
8 ears corn (in husks) 1 Vidalia Onion 2 cups edamame peas 1-2 cups cherry tomatoes

1 cup olive oil cup tarragon
Instructions
Peel back corn husk halfway and soak corn in cold water for 15-20 minutes.
Slice onion crosswise 1/2 inch thick.
Place both corn and onion on grill and cook for 5-10 minutes. Be sure to flip them every so often. Remove from grill.
Slice corn kernels off of the cob. Roughly chop the onion into bite-sized cubes.
Boil edamame for 2-3 minutes.
Add the mixture of corn, onion, and edamame pieces together into a large bowl.

Summer Heat: Watering strategy key in protecting plants from heat, using water wisely

Continued From Page 1
ter can lead to root rots and plant death, not to mention high water bills. Use the information available to you to make sound decisions about watering your plants. Water when necessary, in the amount that is needed.
How to water your plants We all want to be good stewards of our water, so it's important to apply it efficiently and effectively. Remember to water late in the day or early in the morning. There are several ways we can get water to our plants, with varying levels of expense and effort. Hand watering: If you need to get water to plants, the simplest solution is extending a hose or using watering cans. Ollas: Ollas are unglazed clay pots set deeply into the ground with the neck just above soil level so that the pot can be filled with water. Slowly, the water in the olla seeps

into the surrounding soil, providing supplemental moisture for plants that are in close proximity. Ollas can be used strategically for high-value plants that can benefit from supplemental moisture in hot, dry conditions, but should ideally be set in the soil at plant installation so as not to disturb roots.
Soaker hoses: These hoses are designed to deliver water slowly over a broad area. They are especially helpful for providing supplemental water to larger planting beds or evergreen hedges. They soak the soil rather than wetting plant foliage, so they don't typically contribute to foliage disease.
Sprinklers: Connected to a water hose, sprinklers can help get water to larger areas in a pinch, but they are not the best option for routine watering. Water can be lost to evaporation while the sprinkler is running, espe-

cially if it is run during the day, and plant foliage will likely be wet, increasing risk of disease.
Irrigation systems: Drip irrigation is an efficient way to get water to plant roots. Set zones and timers to deliver supplemental water only when needed. Connecting to rain gauges avoids running irrigation systems when it's raining or when soil conditions are moist. Avoid excessive wetting of plant foliage to reduce the incidence of disease. Improving soil health for better hydration
When it comes to keeping our plants hydrated and healthy, it always pays to follow good practices from the time of planting. Remember to properly prepare your soil prior to planting so that root systems can get established. Incorporate organic matter, like compost, to improve the soil's ability to re-

tain moisture. Compost added to heavy clay soils im-
proves drainage and aeration. Apply mulch around plants to protect them from trimmer and lawn mower damage. Mulch also protects the soil from the erosive forces of rain, reduces weeds, and helps keep soils and plant roots cooler during the summer.
As you enjoy your summer and your landscape and gardens, take a few minutes to consider the water needs of your plants. Timely application of water in the proper amounts can keep them healthy and beautiful, protecting your investment.

Poultry Processing: New technology provides effective tool for pathogen control in poultry processing

and how to reduce bacterial contamination," he added.
By identifying "hot spots" within the processing facility, processors can better allocate resources to reduce microbial risk in those areas through incorporating antimicrobial interventions or optimizing the parameters such as concentration, exposure time, or type of antimicrobial to reduce the risk.
"This is where creating a biomapping program can prove more effective, depending on the product being processed," Singh said, adding that the system is similar to the root cause analysis tool used by regulatory agencies investigating foodborne illness outbreaks.
Using a customized biomapping program for each facility allows processing plant managers to systematically monitor conditions unique to that plant and maintain the micro-

biological safety of poultry and poultry products.
To develop a biomapping program, it is necessary to determine what needs to be evaluated in each facility and what organisms to look for as an indicator for poultry-related pathogens such as Salmonella or Campylobacter. Based on the data collection results, customized plans can be made to develop corrective actions.
The first step in the process is to develop a process flow diagram for the facility, outlining each sequential step of the production process and identifying which areas are microbial hot spots. Then plant managers can evaluate the effectiveness of antimicrobial interventions and optimize the process for improved microbial control by improving resource utilization and adapting new technologies.

"Poultry processing is a dynamic system that must be continuously monitored to minimize potential pathogens in high-risk areas," Thippareddi said. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service is evaluating the poultry production-processing continuum to evaluate locations where control can be put in place to reduce the risk of Salmonella from poultry products effectively.
Salmonella is the No. 1 cause of foodborne illnesses in the U.S., with an estimated 1.35 million infections, 26,500 hospitalizations and 420 deaths per year. When there is a poultry-related foodborne disease outbreak, poultry sales usually go down across the board.
"Chicken is responsible for 15 to 20 percent of illnesses. Proper application of biomapping, followed by systematic monitoring

and preventive actions, can reduce foodborne illnesses related to poultry and ultimately enhance public health," Singh said. "This can also help producers optimize resources and utilize interventions judiciously to reduce costs, but the main goal is to reduce the incidence of foodborne illness. Food safety economics do not matter if public health is compromised."

Georgie's Drive Thru Hawkinsville
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our #1 industry, agriculture!

People don't realize how much they need firemen until they have a fire. That's what happened in Hawkinsville in 1879 when Hawkinsville's entire business district was burning to the ground and the closest fire engine was located in Macon. Hawkinsville's town council voted to buy their own fire engine but had the purchase blocked by a judge because it couldn't cover the entire town. The local businesses then raised enough money to purchase the equipment on their own and created the Pulaski Fire Company No. 1.
Back then, fire engines were horse drawn and the water pump was powered by steam that was produced by a fire in a small firebox at the rear of the engine. When the time came to name the engine, the name "Katie" was chosen, after the daughter of Hawkinsville's first fire chief, Joe Jelks. In 1917 when a newer fire engine was purchased, "Katie" was retired and stored inside the new fire station where it was sat for over 100 years. The engine has been restored and is now shining on display in the new Hawkinsville City Hall.

The horse-drawn Katie fire engine in Hawkinsville was purchased by local businesses after a fire destroyed downtown in 1879. The engine is now on display in the Hawkinsville City Hall. (GDA/Lee Lancaster)

Georgia Grown members attended the annual Atlanta Market trade show held at AmericasMart in Atlanta this month as part of Georgia Department of Agriculture's Domestic Marketing Program.
The Domestic Marketing Program is a cost-sharing effort that allows Georgia-based companies to partner with the Department's Georgia Grown marketing brand at national trade shows. The program's goal is to increase demand for Georgia agriculture products domestically and, in turn, create jobs and bolster the state's economy.
Sarah Cook, GDA director of business development, explained the cost of booth space at a national trade show can be out of reach for many Georgia Grown members. She said the program is ideal for companies that are on the cusp of expanding to a national audience for their products.
Forty-four Georgia Grown companies attended the Atlanta Market trade show July 10-13 through the program.
The program allows producers to join the GDA Marketing team to several approved national trade shows each year.
Applications for participation in the Domestic Marketing Program for 2024 will be accepted beginning on Aug. 1 and due by Oct. 1. For more information, contact Cook at sarah.cook@agr.georgia.gov.

Commodity News: Growers approve crop assessments for pecans, corn

Staff Reports
In balloting from May 1-30, Georgia pecan growers approved the continuation of the one cent per pound assessment for the Georgia Pecan Commission. This assessment is applicable to growers with 30 acres or more of pecans in Georgia. The vote was 82.7 percent voting in favor.
Collections are authorized under the Georgia Pecan Commission Marketing Order which must be approved every three years. This assessment is separate from the Federal Market Order for Pecans Checkoff. The

Georgia assessment of one cent per pound supports research and marketing activities of the Georgia Pecan Commission for the benefit of Georgia pecan growers.
The marketing efforts focus on a targeted audience and increasing the awareness of Georgia pecans as a snack option over other nuts and snack items as well as promoting Georgia pecans at many trade events. Some of the research projects funded with The University of Georgia and ARS/USDA are on production practices, disease and insect control, variety development, water management, and health benefits of pecan included in diets.

Georgia corn growers vote to continue
corn crop checkoff
In voting from May 1-30. Georgia corn growers voted to continue the one cent per bushel assessment as authorized in the Georgia Corn Commission Market Order. This assessment has to be voted on every three years. The one cent per bushel is collected on corn grown and marketed for grain by Georgia producers. The approval passed with 92 percent of those voting to approve the continuation of the assessment.
Funds collected by the Georgia Corn Commission are used for research projects

conducted by the University of Georgia, ABAC, and ARS/USDA. Some of the areas of research funded have been on water utilization and management, fertilizer uptake and utilization, minor nutrients, precision ag projects, insect, and disease management, as well as breeding research.
Corn is a very important crop in Georgia for the poultry and dairy industry in their feeding programs but as a rotational crop for the other important row crops in Georgia.
