Harper addresses ag workforce needs at Senate study committee

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tyler Harper emphasized the importance of agricultural education programs, focused on growing the workforce in the state over the next generation, to a legislative study committee on workforce expansion.
Harper spoke to the Georgia Senate Study Committee on Workforce Expansion in Commerce on Sept. 19 to present information on agriculture and discuss industry challenges. Sen. John Albers, R-Roswell, chairs the committee, and has held meetings across the state to gather information on workforce development for all industries in Georgia.
Harper said that labor was the critical issue facing agriculture. "We've had these con-

versations about the top three issues in agriculture, and it's been said the top three issues
10 0 t1h9A17nniv2e0r1s7ary are labor, labor and labor," he said. Harper discussed the technological advances in agriculture regarding what farmers use in the fields. He explained that 1954 was the first year that tractors outnumbered mules in the fields in Georgia. Agricultural technology advanced significantly between then and 2000, making farming more efficient with fewer workers.
However, since 2000, the workforce has remained almost unchanged, Harper said. He explained that as existing workers age and retire in the coming years, there will be a great need to bring in new ones to replace them.
According to a survey conducted in 2006 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the av- Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tyler Harper. erage age of all farm workers is 39.7 years old. (Special Photo)

"At the same time (between 1954 and 2000), we've produced more food, fiber and shelter. When you look at where we need to be by 2050, we need to be producing twice the amount of food we produce today," Harper told the committee. "If we are going to do that, we're going to have to have more help. We have got to have more labor. We got to have individuals involved in the agricultural industry, and we got to find ways to encourage that."
Harper's recommendations to the committee included investing in training opportunities for educators to develop curricula for primary and secondary, technical, college and graduate programs across the state to train future workers on skills needed in the agriculture sector.

Schools celebrate National Farm to School Month with focus on locally-grown foods

By Jay Jones jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
October is National Farm to School Month, and Georgia Organics is helping schools across Georgia celebrate through classroom and cafeteria activities designed to foster healthy food choices and strong bonds between farmers and educators.
Throughout October, Georgia Organics is providing resources to schools to promote Pepper-palooza, the promotional theme for
Students at Adairsville Elementary School in Bartow County line up at their cafeteria during a Tuesday Takeover, including apple sauce and class lessons on Georgia-grown apples. All 19 Bartow County public schools will have activities and lunch menu items for National Farm to School Month this month. (Bartow County School Nutrition/ Jessica Chandler)

Georgia. Yaza Sarieh, Georgia Organics community collaborations coordinator, said participating schools will have teachers incorporate peppers into lesson plans. School cafeterias will include peppers in their meals and participate in learning activities.
This year marks Georgia Organics' 10th anniversary in celebrating National Farm to School Month. The organization has highlighted a specific fruit or vegetable annually - last year was "Spinach to Win It." Sarieh said over 800 educators signed up this year to participate and will reach about 1 million students from Pre-kindergarten to 12th grade.
"It's been really exciting this year, and it's just a fun way to get folks interested in eating healthier as well as making them aware of the different produce that grows in Georgia and where they can source it," Sarieh said.

Georgia Organics offers classroom materials from posters to lesson plans for all grade levels in the months leading up to October. Participating schools used the materials to develop activities that teachers and nutritionists can use in the STEM and CTAE class curriculum.
Also, school cafeterias that include peppers at least one time per week can enter for prizes.
The promotion also encourages schools to post their activities on social media using hashtags #pepperpalooza, #farm2school, and #NationalF2SMonth.
Jessica Chandler, school nutrition specialist with the Bartow County School System, said this was the first year her system was participating in National Farm to School

UGA Extension food scientist hosts new brewing workshop

By Lillian Dickens The University of Georgia

A new workshop brewed up by University of Georgia Cooperative Extension food science and technology process specialist Kaitlyn Casulli opened the tap on insider knowledge for craft brewers seeking to start a business.
Casulli, an assistant professor in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Department of Food Science and Technology, is a food safety engineer and craft beer aficionado. During the August workshop, she presented the logistical and cultural side of craft brewing, focusing on opening a brewery rather than the technical aspects of brewing beer.
"I really wanted to focus on taproom and company culture. All of our attendants already knew how to brew beer, so we wanted to help them with things like how to decide what your scale is going to be, how to pick out your equipment and new trends in the market," Casulli said.
The food science and technology department hosts

Heat Stress: Combatting the silent killer in the workplace

By Rachel Gonzlez
Georgia Tech, SHES
The summer of 2023, which The National Aeronautics and Space Administration
recently announced as Earth's hottest summer since global records began in 1880, has ended. As we transition into cooler months, the feeling of the unrelenting sun, perhaps as we walked across an asphalt parking lot to our air-conditioned car, likely lingers in our memory. For many workers throughout the United States, the feeling of laboring in the heat, dehydrated, and to the point of exhaustion is likely a vivid and painful memory. Some may even be reminded of the co-workers they lost due to heat stroke. According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, since 2011, there have been 436 documented heat-related deaths caused by environmental heat exposure among workers in the United States. However, according to The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the total number of heat-related illnesses and fatalities is ultimately unknown, as heat-related events are often not recognized, and the cause of death is frequently listed as a heart attack, rather than exposure to a heat-related hazard. Research suggests more heat-related deaths may occur in the workplace than recorded. A 2022 study conducted by researchers at the University of Connecticut found that 91.9 percent of 1,682 severe exertional injuries that were reported to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) between 2015 and 2022 were heat-related, as well as 87.6 percent of the 4,598 exertion-related fatalities investigated by OSHA between 2017 and 2020. It's important to note the study only looked at reported injuries (defined by OSHA as an injury resulting in an in-patient hospitalization, an amputation, or a loss of an eye) and fatalities. Many heat-related injuries occurring

at workplaces in the U.S. may not be severe enough to be reported to OSHA. However, that does not mean their impacts are unsubstantial to the worker and their employer.
What is Heat Stress?
Heat stress, which in recent years has been referred to as the silent killer, occurs when the buildup of heat in the body cannot be removed by natural mechanisms, such as convection and evaporation (i.e., sweating). Heat stress may occur when physical work is performed in conditions with high ambient heat, especially when combined with humidity and inadequate cooling. Heat stress can be manifested in several ways.
Employees may experience heat rash, cramps, and heat exhaustion, resulting in symptoms including profuse sweating, weakness, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and heat stroke. Common symptoms of heat stroke include extremely high body temperature (104 F-105 F or higher) and rising, shortness of breath, nausea and vomiting, seizures, disorientation, hot, dry skin, and coma. If employees exhibit heat stroke symptoms, medical attention must be provided immediately, as fatalities are possible.
Employees working in agriculture are especially vulnerable to heat stress, as they often spend hours each day working outside. Employees working in buildings with heat-producing equipment, such as ovens, and employees who perform moderate or higher physical activity or wear heavy or bulky clothing or equipment are also at a high risk of heat stress. Further, those working in hot environments are at a higher risk of injury, as heat may result in sweaty palms, fogged-up safety glasses, dizziness, and reduced brain function.
OSHA's National Emphasis Program
OSHA recognizes that occupational exposure to heat is a serious hazard. Recently, the agency implemented a National Emphasis Program (NEP) to protect employees from heat-related hazards and resulting injuries and illnesses in outdoor and indoor workplaces. The goal of the NEP, which became effective on April 8, 2022, is to encourage early interventions by employers to reduce heat stress hazards. To achieve this goal, OSHA is conducting targeted enforcement inspections

To prevent heat illness, employers can ensure their employees are protected from occupational heat hazards. To do so, companies can develop and implement heat stress prevention programs, provide effective training to employees, provide time for acclimatization of new and returning workers among other measures and know the signs of heat stress. (NOAA/Special Graphic)

and compliance assistance and outreach activities related to heat-related hazards in the workplace.
Finding Help
Ultimately, employers must ensure their employees are protected from occupational heat hazards. To do so, companies must develop and implement heat stress prevention programs, provide effective training to employees, provide time for acclimatization of new and returning workers, and provide: Unlimited cool water Access to shaded or cool areas Scheduled rest breaks for employees
When it comes to heat stress, prevention is key. Fortunately, numerous resources are available to employers to help them develop and implement heat stress prevention programs. In addition, tools and applications have been developed to aid supervisors and managers in monitoring environmental conditions in the workplace. For example, The OSHA-NIOSH Heat Safety Tool Application is a resource that provides the forecasted and current heat index and its associated risk level.
The Safety, Health, and Environmental Services (SHES) unit at Georgia Tech is actively working to support small and me-

dium-sized businesses in Georgia with the development of their heat stress prevention programs. Companies can request free and confidential safety and health consultations through our website: oshainfo.gatech.edu/. You can also find heat stress training lesson plans, training guides, and a template for a heat stress prevention program under the Resources tab.
Rachel Gonzlez provides occupational safety consulting services for small to medium-sized businesses in Georgia through the OSHA 21(d) Consultation Program at Georgia Tech. Most recently, Ms. Gonzlez was awarded a Susan Harwood Targeted Topic Training Grant from the Department of Labor to develop and provide training on temperature extremes in the workplace.

Georgia Cooking: Okra fritters or "hoe cakes"

This recipe for okra fritters, also called hoe cakes, was part of Georgia Organics' 2021 National Farm to School promotional campaign called "Livin' La Vida Okra." The recipe comes with an instructional video on making the fritters and a short history on hoe cakes on the Georgia Organics YouTube channel at https://bit.ly/3ZKOQCY.
Ingredients 1 cup cornmeal 1 cup All-purpose flour 3 tsp salt 2 tsp baking powder 2 eggs 1 cup water 1 tsp black pepper 1 cup yellow onion, finely chopped 4 cups okra, thinly sliced

cup olive or canola oil blend
Instructions Mix together the cornmeal, flour, 1 tsp of salt, and the baking powder in a mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and water, then stir into dry ingredients, until just moist.
Sprinkle the remaining 2 teaspoons salt and the black pepper over the onion and okra, and toss. Fold the vegetables into the batter.
Heat the oil in a large flat skillet over medium heat.
Drop large spoonfuls of the batter (carefully) into the hot oil. Fry until the bottoms of the fritters start to brown,

then flip to cook the other side. Fry the fritters until browned evenly.
Remove with a slotted spoon or spatula and drain on paper towels or a wire rack.

Ag Workforce: Harper encourages Ag curriculum, hands-on learning to build farming work force
Continued From Page 1

In recent years, Georgia has expanded agricultural education in public schools as part of the Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education (CTAE) curriculum developed across the state. Last year, Georgia became the first state in the country to offer an agricultural curriculum in elementary schools following a three-year pilot program. There were 26 elementary schools in 2022 offering students ag education. This year, 39 elementary schools have an ag curriculum.
"We are the first state in the union to offer ag education in K-12, but I think there is an opportunity to do more and find ways to invest in this industry and allow agriculture to be successful," Harper told the study committee.
Harper added that regionalized training could benefit local agriculture in the state. He cited the example of Gilmer County High School in north Georgia, which has the first hands-on learning poultry facility in the U.S. to teach ag students about

the poultry industry. He also mentioned the development of ag curriculum at North Georgia Technical College in Blairsville tailored to local industry.
"Those are examples in our state where we can partner with our K-12 schools, technical colleges and our universities to provide those experiences, those hands-on opportunities," Harper said, "and give people the understanding that in agriculture it's more than cows, plows and sows and there are opportunities in this industry that most folks don't even know exist."
Albers explained the Georgia General Assembly created the committee during its last session to gather information on the state of the workforce in Georgia and across different industries and trade. Albers said the committee will present a report at the end of the year offering recommendations to the General Assembly on how the state can help to strengthen

and expand the state's workforce. Albers said agriculture is unique because of the vast array
of opportunities from production to technology and support industries like trucking and research. "The stuff they are doing on farms now is pretty amazing," he said.
"We also have to make sure people know this: it's a great job, it's a great career and a great opportunity to be a part of," Albers said. "I think the commissioner's focus on doing that in breaking down the bureaucracy and barriers, and that is really important. We want people to farm."
Upcoming meetings of the Georgia Senate Study Committee on Workforce Expansion will be on Oct. 26 in Dalton and Nov. 14 at the Georgia State Capital in Atlanta.

Mercer Medical: Early detection, awareness are key in breast cancer prevention

Sinead O'Bryant
Third-year MD student
Mercer University School of Medicine
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer of women in the United States. Breast cancer occurs when breast cells begin to divide abnormally compared to healthy cells, accumulating into a lump or mass. These cells may also spread to other parts of the breast, to lymph nodes, or throughout the body (also known as metastasis). While breast cancer can also occur in men, it is much more common in women. Breast cancer has many risk factors, including hormonal, lifestyle, and environmental factors. However, breast cancer can also be spontaneous or inherited as well. Research has not clarified why some individuals with no risk factors develop breast cancer while others with risk factors do not. Scientific advancements in breast cancer research show that breast cancer is likely caused by a complex interplay of an individual's genetics, environment, and lifestyle. Breast cancer risk factors include the following: Being female Older age Family history of breast cancer Inherited gene mutations (as mentioned below) Radiation exposure (from previous treatments)

Obesity Alcohol consumption Beginning period before age 12 Beginning menopause after age 55 Having a first child after age 30 Having never been pregnant Having other breast conditions Previously have had breast cancer Post-menopausal hormone therapy
Inherited breast cancer makes up 5-10 percent of all breast cancers. Genetic mutations passed from family member to family member cause these inherited changes. The most common inherited breast cancer genes are BRCA1 and BRCA2. If you have a strong family history of breast cancer and other forms of cancer, talk to your doctor about testing for BRCA gene or other genetic mutation detection.
There are some methods of prevention in breast cancer development, but it is important to know that sometimes breast cancer can still occur despite preventive efforts. Early detection is an important component of a good outcome for breast cancer.
Breast cancer prevention measures include the following: Discuss with your doctor about regular breast exams Yearly mammogram screenings after age 40 Alcohol consumption in moderation Exercise at least 30 minutes a day, most days of the week Limit post-menopausal hormone therapy Maintain a healthy weight Choose a healthy and balanced diet Perform regular self-breast exams to look for signs of
breast cancer

Self-breast exams are convenient because they can be performed by yourself. Self-breast exams are important to understand your breasts' normal look and feel. To perform a breast exam, first look into a mirror. Face forward and look for any changes in size, shape, or symmetry of each of the breasts or the nipples. Lift your breasts to inspect the bottom of the breast as well. Next, lay down flat on your back, and press down along the breast using the pads of your hands. Go in a methodical fashion, sectioning the breast into portions, starting at the outside and working towards the nipple.
Signs of breast cancer to look for when doing a self-breast exam: A breast lump Dimples, bugles, or ridges Breast skin thickening A feeling of breast fullness Change in the symmetry, size, shape or appearance of a
breast A newly inverted nipple Bloody nipple discharge Redness, swelling, or pain in an area of the breast Peeling, flaking, or hyperpigmentation of the skin sur-
rounding the nipple Over the past decade, the number of deaths because of breast cancer has been decreasing every year. This increase in breast cancer survivorship can be attributed to advances in breast cancer awareness and research funding, changing the landscape in breast cancer care from earlier detection to personalization of treatment, and new disease understanding.

Farm to School Month: Fun is the key ingredient in students learning about good nutrition
Continued From Page 1

Month. She said individual school cafeterias already do an activi-
ty called "Takeover Tuesdays" that promotes Georgia-grown foods throughout the year. Farm to School would be the first promotion tried across all Bartow County schools simultaneously.
"I've been telling everyone that this is kind of a beta test for all 19 schools to get their STEM students to plant the seeds and get everybody involved," Chandler said. "It's been a vessel for me to get the schools together and say, `Hey, we're going to have a competition in the cafeteria, and this what we would love for STEM to do and get the kids to compete.'"
For example, "Takeover Tuesdays" allows schools to feature food grown in a school garden or locally sourced on their menus. The schools have recently partnered with Georgia apple farmers, poultry producers and dairies in those events.
For Pepper-palooza, students have planted peppers in their school gardens with plans to provide them to their cafeterias and supplement them with locally-grown peppers. The competition will be about how much they can grow and

incorporate into their lessons and school menu. This month, the Bartow County elementary school menus have planned to include sliced bell pepper and carrot dippers and lasagna dishes as their Farm to School meals.
Michelle Gambon is a master gardener in Cobb County who is also known as the "Compost Queen" for her work teaching local elementary school students about composting, sustainability and growing the environment. She started participating in Farm to School Month in 2012, which she said overlaps nicely with her ongoing work.
One activity she does for Farm to School Month is a "Don't Yuck My Yum" taste test. She works with the school's nutrition department to create the recipes. Children will then rate the food on a scale ranging from "tried it before and liked it" to "tried it and didn't care for it." During the taste testing, Gambon will talk with the children about the produce, how it's grown, its place in Georgia's agriculture and economy and health benefits.
Gambon said getting children to try new things is easier than you think. The key is to make it fun, whether it's kale, spinach, turnips, or this year with peppers.

"Kids don't hesitate to pop something into their mouths. They will stick their hand into whatever, they'll pop whatever in their mouth and try it," Gambon said. "There's a trust, and there's not this `eww, this is gross' reaction."
Georgia Organics also helps school systems and food distributors connect with farmers in their areas to provide food. Sarieh said she hoped to develop the annual promotion in Georgia to produce educational videos to show students what the farmers in their area look like and what they do.
"It's important because we need to set our children up for the healthiest futures that they can have, so nutrition education is really important not only for their futures but also for ours," Sarieh said. "It has a big economic benefit for our local farmers when we provide more resources for them to source local produce and create opportunities for them."

Brewing Workshop: Participants learn from each other with brewery visits, hands-on brewing

workshops and on-site training sessions to help the public and food industry members minimize the spread of foodborne pathogens and contamination of food products.
While some courses provide certifications for food production, the new brewing workshop focused on fostering a network between a group of budding brewers from across the state and established local brewers in Athens.
Extension Program Coordinator Charlie Evans said the brewing workshop attracted an intimate group for its inaugural run.
"Ideally, we want to reach as many people as possible, but honestly, staying small was the goal. It also gave the attendants the chance to get to know each other better. I've noticed in some of our bigger workshops that people don't really network as well, or they stay in pods of people that they know," Casulli said. "By the end of the first day of the brewing workshop, everybody was exchanging contact information and saying to each other, `If you ever need anything, reach out to me,' or `Come visit our brewery,' or `Taste our samples.' It was just a really nice way to keep it intimate and keep networking a little bit easier."
The three-day workshop consisted of panels, talks with local brewers, and tours of different breweries, capped off by a handson brewing day.
Attendees met with the owners of six local breweries, includ-

ing Brock Toole and Dutch Guest from South Main Brewing, Spike Buckowski from Terrapin Brewing Company, Paul Skinner from Athentic Brewing Company and more.
Over the course of the workshop, the group made stops at Creature Comforts, Southern Brewing Company, Terrapin Beer Company, Athentic Brewing Company, Normaltown Brewing Company and South Main Brewing.
Casulli pronounced the department's first brewing workshop a success, and workshop participants reported that their new breweries would create more than 50 jobs in Georgia.
"I would 100 percent do this workshop again in the future. Working in a small group together and getting to be hands-on with equipment -- all while having the opportunity to network with other brewers -- was an amazing thing to witness and put on," Casulli said.

Georgie's Drive Thru Port Wenworth
Editor's note: Georgie is very busy this month at the Georgia National Fair helping out where he can in the Georgia Grown building. Below is a classic Georgie from October 23, 2019. Georgie will be back next issue with a new adventure.
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our No. 1 industry agriculture! Everybody knows that Eli Whitney invented the modern mechanical cotton gin. But did you know that he invented it in 1793 near Port Wentworth in Chatham County?
Born and raised in Connecticut, Whitney was on a ship headed to South Carolina to begin his career as a teacher when he met Catharine Greene, the widow of the Revolutionary War Hero Nathanael Greene and owner of Mulberry Grove Plantation. Gen. Greene was given the plantation as a gift from George Washington after the previous owner was kicked out for supporting another George, King George III of England. Whitney came to the plantation to tutor Greene's children and tinkered with an idea he had for separating cotton lint from seed.
When he perfected his design, he built a full-size gin at Mulberry Grove. The only remnants of the plantation are a few brick foundations. The rest was destroyed during Sherman's March to the Sea.

A modern gin has come a long way since Eli Whitney invented his hand-cranked gin in 1793. Today, only a few technologically sophisticated firms produce cotton gins based on the designs of specialized engineers. The largest of those companies, the Lummus Corporation, is based in Savannah.

Fair rides and food are great, but the livestock shows stand out at the fair each year. Thousands of exhibitors came to the fair to show off their animals and compete against others across the state. Here, a girl pauses with her cow at the livestock barn.

The Georgia Grown Baby Barn captivated audiences with live births of dairy calves during the fair. Here, University of Georgia large animal veterinarians assist with the birth of Reba, the second calf born at this year's fair.

Thousands were welcomed to the 34th annual Georgia National Fair in Perry with beautiful fall weather this month. Many came to the Georgia Grown building for the Baby Barn, the Market Store, featuring Georgia grown and made products, and the new Seed to Shirt exhibit. (GDA/Nick Vassy)
The Georgia Department of Agriculture offered the Baby Barn School House, where children on school field trips stopped to learn about agriculture. Along with lessons, children toured the fair's livestock barns and witnessed educational demonstrations.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, First Lady Marty Kemp and others joined Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tyler Harper in opening the Seed to Shirt exhibition inside the Georgia Grown building. Visitors saw the story of cotton, one of Georgia's largest commodities, from planting to the final product.
