Georgia Grown Market Store brings all that's good in the state to one place

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
In one place for 10 days, fairgoers can experience the wide variety of Georgia Grown products on sale at the Market Store during the Georgia National Fair this month.
Located inside the Georgia Grown building near the fairgrounds' clock tower, the store will have products from over 45 Georgia-based businesses with food, home accessories, soaps, skin care products and other items for sale.
Matthew Kulinski, Georgia Department of Agriculture's director of Marketing, described the Georgia Grown Market Store as an excellent opportunity for customers and businesses. He added that the fair celebrates Georgia's rich agricultural heritage and serves as a launchpad for local entrepreneurs.
"The Georgia Grown Market Store offers vendors a unique, low-overhead opportunity to showcase and sell their products directly to the community," Kulinski said.

Happy Wyatt, Georgia Grown marketing representative for Middle Georgia, has worked putting the store
10 0 t1h9A17nniv2e0r1s7ary together at the fair every year since it began in 2013. She
said the Market Store is one of the easiest ways Georgia Grown members can sell their products because the fairgrounds provide the store's staff, and the fair brings foot traffic to the store.
"The popularity keeps escalating every year. I have people who are repeat visitors to the fair who will literally only show up to go to the Georgia Grown store to buy their Christmas gifts," Wyatt said. "I've seen people spend $300-$500 in one visit just buying gifts because they want to keep that money local. The Market Store is a great place to have a huge variety of products in one spot."
The fair is the biggest event for Georgia Grown members to sale their products, but there are other chances to get their products to customers. The Market Store is a consignment-based store where members provide products that the fair staff sells. Kulinski said the Georgia Grown

A history project shows connections between community and old Nashville State Farmers Market

By Jay Jones jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
The Nashville State Farmers Market produce shed is long gone, but the memories linger. That is what Skeeter Parker is discovering in his research about the facility. He hopes to preserve the history of a different time.
"It's just one of those things that in a small South Georgia town, you have differ-

story on page 9.

ent venues that sort of become a center of the town's life," said Parker. "When I was growing up, the farmers market parking lot was where parades always started. Even when the market was closed, you had that connection to it because that's where the Christmas parade started or that's where the homecoming parade started. It's just always been one of those buildings you've seen there and gone through different uses."
Today, there are nine state farmers markets operated by the Georgia Department of Agriculture, but back in the 1930s, there were plans for hundreds of them to be

built thanks to federal Works Progress Administration (WPA), a part of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal programs to address the Great Depression. The WPA employed millions of unemployed workers to carry out public works projects.
According to articles and editorials in local newspapers, Parker found that Berrien County officials sought to build a curb market in Nashville. This small market sold produce to the public and trucks traveling through town. "A curb or farmers market is certainly a subject that deserves much attention, and one that,

45th Sunbelt Ag Expo offers the latest in farm technology, research

Farmers from across the Southeast will gather in Moultrie this month for the Sunbelt Ag Expo, where vendors will show off the latest techno-

logical innovations in farming and its heritage. The agriculture trade show opens on Oct. 17 in Moultrie and runs for
three days. Chip Blalock, executive director, said he expects about 1,000 exhibitors to attend the event. The Expo has 100 acres of indoor and outdoor exhibit space and a 600-acre research farm to provide everything of interest to farmers, ranchers and agricultural producers.
Blalock said he expected strong attendance this year in keeping with an upward trend after they canceled the 2020 Sunbelt Expo due to the Covid pandemic.
"(Attendance) definitely dropped off in 2021, rebounded in 2022, and we look forward to another rebound in 2023," Blalock said. "People are getting out and about more. Our biggest adversary right now is the price of gas. It's costing more to come to shows like ours."
Blalock added that his takeaway from the past few years is that in-person trade shows still matter. Several vendors who did not attend the Expo in 2021 did demonstrations online instead. Blalock said that experience showed that the internet is an excellent marketing tool to compliment companies in selling their products but not the only tool to use.
"We've been talking about the internet for 25 years and how it's going to affect trade shows. Agriculture is a people's business. People like to deal with people face-to-face and not over the internet," Blalock said. "You look at our field demonstrations, and you can do your homework and see the features of a machine online, and then come to the show to see it work. You can tug on the bale, compare and contrast where you can't do that online."

In Loving Memory

Mrs. Ella Mae Tritt Beach
January 17, 1924 - August 22, 2023
Ella Mae's love for nature was evident in her green thumb. As an employee of the Georgia Department of Agriculture for 19 years, as assistant editor of the Market Bulletin, and as a nurturer of vibrant and beautiful flowers, with daffodils being one of her specialties. She shared her gardening expertise with others by selling daffodils and seed. Her flowers brought joy to countless lives, and her legacy continues to bloom through the gardens she tended and the lives she touched. Ella
Mae's dedication to her family and community, as well as her love for nature, will serve as a lasting tribute for us to cherish and remember her by.

Forestry Matters: Timber industry takes a hit from Hurricane Idalia

By Stasia Kelly
Georgia Forestry Commission
The Georgia Forestry Commission released a timber impact assessment on damage from Hurricane Idalia's visit through southeast Georgia on Aug. 30 that reported about 11,000 acres of timber were damaged and valued at $9.3 million.
The assessment report was released in September, and noted winds ranged from 20-70 miles per hour in the storm's path, and rain amounts totaled from two to eight inches. Most of the damage was located around the Valdosta area. Landowners impacted by the storm can contact their local GFC forester for assistance in evaluating timber damage on their property.
The Farm Service Agency (FSA) has the Emergency Forest Restoration cost-share program that can assist with forest debris removal, site preparation and planting costs. See the full Idalia Timber Damage Assessment here: https://bit.ly/ Timber-Damage-Assessment.
GFC foresters have been visiting landowners in several counties where aerial surveys showed signs of bark beetle activity. So far in 2023, beetle activity has been low overall, with an area of high activity noted in August across middle Georgia. If you suspect southern pine, Ips, or black turpentine beetles are present on your property, contact your local GFC office.
Speaking of pests, GFC foresters have hung 92 emerald ash borer (EAB) traps across the state this year. So far, EAB has been found in three new counties in 2023: Bibb, Haralson, and Towns. To see the complete trapping update and learn more about bark beetles and managing healthy forests, go to https:// bit.ly/forest-management-conservation.
The annual summer burn ban has been lifted in 54 counties, mostly in north Georgia. Imposed by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division, the restrictions aim to lower ozone levels that may cause respiratory issues. The annual ban runs from May 30-Oct. 1 in the following counties: Banks, Barrow, Bartow, Bibb, Butts, Carroll, Catoosa, Chattooga,

Cherokee, Clarke, Clayton, Cobb,

Second yellow-legged hornet nest found, destroyed; Harper encourages public awareness in on-going effort

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
In telling about the eradication of a second nest of the bee-killing yellow-legged hornet, officials with the Georgia Department of Agriculture, U.S. Department of Agriculture and the University of Georgia were encouraged in their efforts to keep the invasive species from spreading.
The second yellow-legged hornet nest was found in Savannah on Sept. 15 under a bridge on Wilmington Island near Savannah, Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tyler Harper announced at a press conference in Atlanta on Sept. 20.
Harper called the discovery of the nest a significant victory in the GDA's effort to stop the hornet from establishing itself here. Harper and Dr. Tim Davis with the University of Georgia Chatham County Extension Office said public involvement was a big part of the trapping and tracking teams' success.
"While this eradication is a win for our state and our agriculture industry, we'll continue working around the clock to find any additional hornets, eradicate this invasive pest, and protect our states agriculture industry," Harper said.
Harper explained that effort has been coordinated between GDA officials deploying traps and responding to sightings in the Savannah area and UGA Extension providing expert assistance and community education and awareness.
The GDA tracking team has deployed 134 traps in the area around the time of the initial detection on Aug. 9. Harper said they made confirmed detection of the yellow-legged hornet in 12 different locations around Wilmington Island, White Marsh Island and the town of Thunderbolt. Of those 12 confirmed sightings, nine were done responding to residents reporting a sighting and three from the GDA traps.
The GDA found the first yellow-legged hornet nest on Aug. 23, about 85 feet up a pine tree near the first confirmed sighting by a local beekeeper.
Harper said the timing of finding this recent nest was important. All worker hornets in a nest are sterile females, and the species procreates when a nest develops a queen and

male. An analysis of the nest destroyed on Sept. 15 showed it had yet to reach that point, and no queens were found.
The yellow-legged hornet is a threat to pollinators, especially bees, who are essential to Georgias agriculture sector. The hornet is native to tropical areas of Southeast Asia. The hornet has also established itself in most of Europe and parts of the Middle East.
Since the first hornet confirmation on Aug. 9, the USDA has helped Georgia agricultural officials with additional operating funds to continue eradication efforts. Harper said the GDA's partnership has expanded to include Clemson Univer-

sity and the University of Florida. Davis said UGA Extension has worked with local bee-
keepers and master gardeners to spot threats to their hives and gardens. The yellow-legged hornet is the latest threat, and Davis said he was encouraged that a beekeeper, who had taken Extension training on identifying pests, was the one who reported the first sighting.
"They took pictures, they sent it to my office and sent it to Mike (Evans, GDA Plant Protection Division director) and said we think this is what it is," Davis said. "My master gardeners took pictures and said, `We think this is what it is.' That started this whole process, and it's exciting when your job is to educate and teach people about science and see it come to fruition."
Davis said the next step would be to talk to pest control operators and train them to be on the lookout for the yellow-legged hornet. "The most important thing of this will be the public involvement," he said. "We need them to keep reporting, keep looking, keep trapping, so we can continue to define where they are and use the information to find these nests."
Harper also encouraged public involvement regardless of where they are in the state. GDA has additional information on the department's website, www.agr.georgia.gov, regarding the yellow-legged hornet and an easily accessible form to report potential sightings. Georgians with additional questions or concerns are encouraged to email yellow.legged. hornet@agr.georgia.gov.
Harper said they have received reports from across the state, but the only confirmed hornet sightings so far have been in the Savannah area. He said the public has played a vital role in this effort and asked Georgians to continue reporting any suspected sightings directly to the Department.
"We eradicated the first nest, and now, here we are a couple of weeks later in finding a second nest," Harper said. "Our team is going to remain vigilant. This is going to be a long process. For eradication, that means no sightings within a three-year period, and I think that is important to point out. Our team is going to work really hard to ensure that we get to that point."

History: Old state farmers market woven into fabric of Berrien County history

Continued From Page 1

if perfected, would be of untold benefit to the farmers and truck growers of Berrien County," the Nashville Herald wrote in an editorial in 1935.
A few months later, the Herald reported that Berrien County would get one of 300 markets of different sizes and functions to be built in Georgia. The WPA would build the largest markets in 14 cities, including Atlanta, Macon, Savannah and Columbus and serve as major distribution hubs in the state. According to the Herald, a second tier of markets was to be built in cities like Valdosta, Gainesville and Brunswick.
The paper reported that Nashville was among the 72 communities where curb markets would be built, which included a single building and shed.
It started as a small curb market in the middle 1930s near the courthouse at the time of the WPA announcement. The farmers market was built south of downtown on Hazel Street in 1948.

Parker said that from his research, newspaper archives, and people's recollection, the Nashville State Farmers Market was a wellused place of business until it closed sometime in the early 1960s.
Parker's journey to writing about the local farmers market is a story unto itself. A life-long Berrien County resident, he grew up there and worked as a teacher there for 28 years until he retired in 2021.
Parker, a local history buff, had worked on local high school sports and wrote several books on local history. He explained that Berrien County was celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2006, and the local historical society asked him to write a story about the farmers market.
"I started by doing the sports histories for Berrien County High School, going back and looking through the microfilm of the paper and pulling scores and going to Valdosta and Tifton and looking at the microfilm of those papers," Parker said. "These were back in the

days before you could get it digitally off the internet, so you spend a lot of time in front of a microfilm reader, but I've enjoyed history, especially local history."
While teaching, he also helped out the local newspaper, The Berrien Press, calling in sports scores and other assignments. Today, he's the news editor.
"I had written for the paper on sports and various things over the years, and eventually, I came up here, and I was supposed to just be the three-day-a-week flunky," Parker said. "I was here about two weeks, and it became, `Congratulations. You're the new editor.'"
Along with newspaper coverage of the farmers market, Parker interviewed residents who remembered the market. He also has collected and digitized hundreds of photos about agricultural life in Berrien County. There are several photos of parades a man wearing overalls with a mule and a plow in a parade in one photo, a pretty young girl serving as tobacco queen in another parade and

riding in the back of a pickup truck. Today, a hotel and an office building are
located where the market's parking lot and shed once were. A local business has refurbished the market's warehouse and uses it as a retail antique store and banquet facility.
Parker said he continues his work on the old farmers market and hopes to have enough material for a book.
"I want to find more photos and get more input from people, even if it's secondhand where they say, granddaddy used to sell there, or my uncle is the one who had the tomato market there," Parker said. "I want to include those stories and make it more than a bunch of newspaper articles and try to tell some of the stories and history behind it and events that people remember happening there."
Anyone with information or photos about the Nashville State Farmers Market can reach Parker at skeeterparker@windstream. net or call him at the Berrien Press at 229686-3523.

Georgie's Drive
to the Fair
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our #1 industry, agriculture!
I love the Georgia National Fair because it celebrates everything that makes our state great, from our delicious food and friendly people to our beautiful landscapes and rich agricultural heritage.
One of my favorite things to do at the fair is visit the Georgia Grown Building. This building is packed with all sorts of amazing products from Georgia farmers and producers. I love seeing all the different fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses, and other goodies grown and made right here in our state. There are all sorts of fun and educational activities for the whole family at the fair. I especially love the Georgia Grown Baby Barn, where you can see baby calves being born and learn about animal care. I also love all the rides and games at the fair. My favorite ride is the Ferris wheel because it gives you such a great view of the fairgrounds.
There's something for everyone to enjoy, and you're sure to have a great time. I hope to see you at the fair!

Rock House Creamery announces voluntary recall on whole milk, buttermilk distributed in Georgia

Staff Reports
ATLANTA The Georgia Department of Agriculture announced that Rock House Creamery, based out of Newborn, has issued a voluntary recall for whole milk and buttermilk effective Sept. 18. The affected products were distributed to Madison, Mansfield, Athens, Atlanta, and Milledgeville retailers.
All stores have been notified, and products have been removed from retail shelves to protect public health. Consumers are strongly urged to dispose of any product remaining in their refrigerators. Affected products include:

Rock House Creamery whole milk with best buy dates of 9/10/2023, 9/17/2023, 9/20/2023, 9/24/2023, and 10/01/2023.
Rock House Creamery buttermilk with a best buy date of 10/02/2023. "The Georgia Department of Agriculture's Food Safety pro-
fessionals worked to ensure the safety and security of our state's food supply, and we're grateful our team quickly identified and took action to correct this issue," Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tyler Harper said in the announcement. "Rock House Creamery has issued a voluntary recall, and we'll continue to work with them to ensure all affected products are removed from retail shelves and properly disposed of."
During a routine inspection conducted by the GDA on Sept. 13, pasteurization records were found incomplete for select lots in September. Since these pasteurization charts are the primary

record of pasteurization, Rock House Creamery is performing a voluntary recall.
Drinking raw milk that has not undergone pasteurization to kill disease-causing germs can lead to serious illness.
There have been no illnesses reported to date. Rock House Creamery has identified the cause of the issue, and corrective actions have been taken to resolve the matter.
Consumers with questions may contact Brad Kelly at Rock House Creamery 770-385-1187.
To view a comprehensive list of food and feed recalls affecting Georgia, please visit https://www.agr.georgia.gov/recalls. The website will provide the most up-to-date information if this recall expands or additional information becomes available. Also, follow the GDA on X, formerly known as Twitter @GDAFoodSafety for recall alerts and food safety tips.

Can landlord forbid smoking
in apartment?
Dear Consumer Ed: Can a landlord forbid smoking in an apartment? Consumer Ed says: Yes, landlords have the right to restrict or prohibit smoking the same way they can pro-

hibit things like waterbeds or excessive noise. Generally, a no-smoking policy would be part of the lease agreement. When tenants sign a lease agreement, they agree to be bound by its terms. Tenants who violate the terms of their lease risk early lease termination or eviction.
However, if the current fixed-term lease does not contain a no-smoking policy, a landlord cannot add a new policy before the lease expires unless the tenant agrees to the change in writing. In Georgia, when a month-to-month rental agreement is in place, a landlord can only make a change after giving the tenant 60 days' notice, in writing, before the new policy begins.
More generally, tenants don't have a universal right to smoke in their apartments. There is no state or federal law that provides people with the freedom to smoke when and where they want, nor are bans on smoking considered to be discriminatory under the law. If the landlord has a no-smoking policy for the rental property, he/she has the right to refuse to rent to an applicant who discloses the intention to smoke in the apartment.
For more information, you can look to your local housing and health codes, as well as the Landlord-Tenant handbook (www.dca.ga.gov/node/2945) available on the Department of Community Affairs' website (www.dca.ga.gov).
-The Georgia Department of Law answers questions on consumer-related law through Ask Consumer Ed. Submit your own question to Consumer Ed online at https://consum-
ered.georgia.gov/articles/ask-consumer-ed. The Georgia Department of Law does not give
legal advice. Always consult a lawyer about legal issues.

Sunbelt Ag Expo: Three days of everything agricultural in the Southeast offered at annual trade show
Continued From Page 1

One thing they retained from the pandemic is the drive-through experience of Sunbelt's Field Day demonstrations in July. Attendees drive their vehicles on a course to each test plot and demonstration and are connected to online videos by the presenter. Attendees can pull over and talk with the presenters if they have questions.
Michael Ray, sales manager for Arcusin, a manufacturer of hay baling equipment, said the company attends about 10 trade shows each year. He explained the Sunbelt Expo is a good show for their products for location with room to show off their latest models.
"They offer demo areas for our machine, and it's just a good area for our products," Ray said. "A lot of people know us there. People have our machines around that area, and it's

just a good place for making hay." Attendees this year will see Arcurin's E-14
multi-pack bale bundler. Ray explained it can bundle 14 small square bales at a time at about 650 bales per hour. The E-14's strength, Ray said, is its automation capabilities.
"It's all automatic. There's no levers to be pulled, no strings to attach. It's all completely hands-free. You just have to drive straight," Ray said.
This year's new feature at the Expo will be what Blalock called "edu-tainment," with a daily demonstration of antique tractor pulls from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event will include mini tractors and lawnmowers, which Blalock said could turn into a full tractor pull competition at the 2024 expo.
Other points of interest at the Sunbelt Expo

include the following: Alabama will be the 2023 spotlight state at
the Expo to provide attendees with a comprehensive view of its agricultural products and industry accomplishments. Learn more about Alabama agriculture by visiting www.sweetgrownalabama.org. Education is a key component of the Expo, with over 300 seminars and demonstrations offered over the three-day event. Experts will host seminars and demonstrations in exhibit areas for beef, dairy, poultry, forestry, pond management, equine, and cattle management. The Expo will feature Youth Educational Challenges sponsored by Country Financial for 6th-12th graders as a competitive and fun opportunity for students to demonstrate

their knowledge in five different content areas. The Backyard Garden Area focuses on topics for the specialty gardener. Flint River Fresh, created by the Flint River Soil & Water Conservation District (FRSWCD) and run by Fredando Jackson, "Farmer Fredo," will organize the display to attract gardeners and offer gardening tips, tools, recipes and more. The Georgia Department of Agriculture's pavilion will offer information about Georgia-grown products and hold daily cooking demonstrations. The Sunbelt Ag Expo will be at Spence Field in Moultrie. For more information, call 229-985-1968 or go to www.sunbeltexpo.com.

Georgia Cooking:
Brown butter Georgia mountain trout with mushrooms and apples

Every fall, Georgians flock to the Appalachian foothills for harvest celebrations of apple picking, corn mazes, and the beauty of the autumn leaves. Although river trout is best fished from the cool waters fresh in the spring, it pairs so well with signature North Georgia products such as apples, cold-weather cabbage and Shiitake mushrooms that it's worth it to go fishing early in the year if you can and freeze the whole fillets to enjoy for an autumn cabin feast.
Ingredients 4 trout fillets, skin-on 6 Tbsps butter, divided 6 fresh sage leaves cup apple cider cup bourbon 2 cups sliced apples, skin on 3 cups sliced Shiitake mushrooms Salt and pepper
Instructions Heat 4 tablespoons butter in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Season trout fillets with salt and pepper. When the

butter turns light brown, add trout fillets skin side up and sage leaves. Cook 1-2 minutes until golden. Turn fillets over so skin side is down. Cook additional 2-3 minutes or until fish flakes slightly. Remove trout fillets and sage leaves from pan, set aside and keep warm.
Add sliced apples and mushrooms to pan. Cook, stirring occasionally until mushrooms turn light brown. Add bourbon and cook about 30 seconds. Add apple cider to pan, stirring to incorporate. Simmer uncovered until the liquid reduces by half. Stir in remaining butter a tablespoon at a time until emulsified into a glossy sauce. Adjust seasoning. Spoon mixture over trout fillets and serve with braised red cabbage (recipe below). Serves 4.
Braised Red Cabbage
Ingredients 4 cups red cabbage, cut in large chunks cup diced onion 2 Tbsps butter 1 cup apple cider

cup apple cider vinegar Salt and pepper
Directions Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once butter is melted, add onions, and cabbage and cook until slightly softened. Add apple cider and vinegar to saucepan. Bring liquid to a boil then lower heat to simmer. Season with salt and pepper, cover and simmer about 30 minutes or until tender.
