Centennial Farms awards honor historic farms

PERRY Century-old family farms were honored on Oct. 11 at the 29th Georgia Centennial Farm Awards Ceremony to celebrate the role of preserving historical and family-owned farms in Georgia and recognize their importance to the state.
Farm owners and their historic properties were recognized in an event hosted by the Historic Preservation Division of the Georgia Department of Community Affairs, Georgia Farm Bureau, Georgia Department of Agriculture, Georgia EMC, University of Georgia Cooperative Extension and Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter at the 2023 Georgia National Fair.
Farms hold a central role in the heritage of our state, having formed the economic, cultural, and family foundation for generations of Georgians. All farms earning recognition have continuously operated for 100 years or more.

More than 624 farms have been recognized through the Georgia Centennial Farm Program since its inception in 1993, accord-
ing to the DCA. Farms recognized this year include the
following: Boggy Branch Farms, Bulloch County L&M Farms, Bulloch County Teloga Springs Farms, Chattooga
County Stone Family Farm, Cook County Ash Farms, Effingham County

The Threatte Farm at Bunton Place, Evans County
Price Family Farm, Franklin County J.B. Gay & Son, Jenkins County R.E. Roberts Farm, Jones County Ganas Farm, Lanier County White Family Barn Farm, Lumpkin
County Rolling D Farms, LLC, Murray County Fulghum-Beusse Farms, Wilcox County
Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tyler Harper said in his remarks to the group that family farms are vital to Georgia agriculture and the state's economy. He said the success of farms is important for preserving the past and securing the future for the state as a whole.
As a seventh-generation farmer who works the family farm in Irwin County, Harper said as a child, he played with toy tractors in front of his family's farmhouse and grew up to work the land with "bigger

State agencies launch collaboration to combat farmer mental health crisis

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

The Georgia Department of Agriculture partnered with the state's public health officials and others to hold listening forums across the state to address farm workers' mental health.
The first of the listening forums was held at the Sunbelt Agricultural Exposition in Moultrie last month in conjunction with the formal announcement of agency leaders.
Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tyler Harper joined Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) Commissioner Kevin Tanner and Dr. Laura Perry-Johnson, associate dean for Extension at the University of Georgia, for the announcement.
Tanner said in his remarks that mental health is a difficult issue for

people to talk about, "but it is something that we will have to learn to talk about." He hopes the listening forums will offer opportunities and inspire people in the state's farming communities to seek help regarding their mental wellbeing.
"This joint effort will sow the seeds of hope, resilience and recovery, nurturing the mental wellbeing of those who sustain our agricultural heritage and guide our spiritual journeys," Tanner said.
The forums' dates and times will be announced in the coming months by DBHDD. The stated goal of holding the forums by the agencies is to foster understanding, compassion and support within Georgia's farming and faith communities. The forums are designed to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health, raise

Forestry Matters: Non-native, invasive vines pose a threat to trees

By Stasia Kelly
Georgia Forestry Commission
In Georgia's open forests and urban yards, vines are often part of the picture. They can be pretty or problematic, depending on the species. In either case, their proper management makes living alongside vines a wise landscape habit.
Vines fall into two important categories: native and non-native. Native plants supply a number of benefits that non-natives ("exotics") do not. Native plants are better adapted to soil, moisture and weather than exotics. Natives need less fertilizers and pesticides and tend to use less water. They are less likely to escape and become invasive, destroying natural habitats. In addition, native species support wildlife, providing food and shelter for native birds and insects.
Vines can be very attractive additions to the landscape, so consider these native species when planting new ones: Muscadine grape; Trumpetcreeper, Virginia Creeper or Woodbine; Climbing hydrangea; Carolina jessamine; Clematis.
Of course, native doesn't always mean "good." Remember, poison ivy and poison oak are native bad guys!
Generally, most attention is given to the non-native invasive vines such as Kudzu,

Chinese wisteria, Japanese climbing fern, and Old World climbing fern. Kudzu is the poster child for invasive species. It's been growing across the Southeast since the nineteenth century. Chinese wisteria growing in the woodlands is often evidence of an old home site from years ago. English ivy, once planted around home sites, escaped over time and encroached into the adjacent woodlands.
Vines can be sneaky in how they spread and climb. Here are the different types that dictate their modes of operation: Twine: a vine that twines will physical-
ly wrap itself around small branches or trunks of other pants or support structures. Ex.: Japanese Climbing fern, passionflower, honeysuckle, Carolina Yellow Jessamine and wisteria. Cling: a vine that clings will physically attach itself to a wall, fence or another plant. Ex.: Virginia creeper and wood vamp. Tendril: a vine that anchors itself to another plant or thin support via curly tendrils. Ex.: Grape, peppervine and Clematis sp. Ramble: a vine that rambles is really a shrub with long branches and usually requires physical support. Ex. Roses. Vines grow up and over all vegetation, including trees, in an effort to gain sun-

light. Over time, vines will kill trees and other plants by restricting available sunlight to the tree while also twining themselves around the tree itself, creating a girdling effect. These stresses to trees over time degrade their health, eventually impacting their ability to survive.
Severing the undesirable vines growing up into the tree's canopy at or near ground level is a good way to begin the vine removal process. These cut vines can then be treated with an approved herbicide. It is very important not to cut through the tree bark when cutting twining or clinging vines. Otherwise, damage to the tree itself will occur. This process must be repeated over time to gain complete control.
Foliar herbicide applications are also commonly used to control vines. Every site should be evaluated individually with a prescription written accordingly. Herbicide labels must be read and carefully followed. One excellent reference on the subject is "A Management Guide for Invasive Plants in Southern Forests" by the USFS. It lists multiple treatment options for many invasive species, including vines. h t t p s: // w w w. f s. u s d a. gov/ r e s e a r c h / t r e e search/36915.
Your local Georgia Forestry Commission Forest Health specialist can help as well. Locate yours at www.GaTrees.org.

Chinese wisteria can look pretty but as an invasive plant species, the vine can cover trees and eventually kill them by restricting available sunlight to the trees. The Georgia Forestry Commission advises to cut the vines at the base in the start of a process to eventually control them. (Special Photo)

seen dousing the area in an accelerant and then throwing an ignited object to begin the fire," King said. "Several units used to conduct business were damaged by the resulting fire, with one unit suffering a heavy loss of inventory."
King urged anyone with information on the suspects to call the Georgia Arson Control Hotline at 1-800-282-5804.
The sheds are open-air markets and covered where several wholesale and retail produce businesses operate.
The fire nearly destroyed Naomi's Tomatoes, a long-time produce distributor at the market. Reached a few days after the fire, Naomi Santiago said she was still trying to sort through the damage that she estimated would be in the thousands of dollars.

Santiago worked at the market for almost 30 years, first for a distributor before starting her own business there. She said she could not make any sense of arsonists targeting her business.
"We just ask everyone to hope and pray they catch these people," Santiago said. "I don't know who it is. I don't know their intentions or who it was meant for. I mean, if it was for us, if it was personal or hate, I really don't know. It makes no sense. We feel that we have no enemies here on the market."
The Atlanta Farmers Market at Forest Park is the largest of nine markets owned and operated by the Georgia Department of Agriculture. It is a major food distribution center for the Southeast and is home to several food companies.

King said in the announcement that the public should pay close attention to the clothing details and build of the suspects, in addition to the unique characteristics of the vehicle used to escape. "We ask that any details that can be provided to state investigators in this case be reported as soon as possible," King said.

Georgia Cooking: Georgia cane syrup glazed roasted brussels sprouts

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

Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
In a bowl, toss Brussels sprouts with pecan oil, salt and pepper. Set bowl aside.
Arrange onto a rimmed baking sheet large enough to accommodate them in one layer.
Roast Brussels sprouts for 20 minutes, tossing halfway through the baking time, until the smaller leaves are crisp and the sprouts are beginning to brown in places.
Place syrup in a small microwave safe dish and heat for 1 minute. Remove sprouts from the oven. Transfer to the bowl and toss with the hot syrup. Return Brussels sprouts to the pan and roast for 10 minutes

more. Arrange on a serving dish, and sprinkle with the chopped pecans, if using. Serve immediately.
Serves 8

Mental Health: Listening forums seek to end stigma of talking about mental health

awareness about the unique challenges these communities face, and develop resources tailored to their specific needs, according to the DBHDD's announcement.
A video of the announcement is available on DBHDD's Facebook page (type "DBHDD" in Facebook's search bar).
The forums are the latest efforts of state agencies to improve access to mental health resources for citizens since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. The need came to light from a study conducted by the Georgia Rural Health Innovation Center at Mercer University in collaboration with the Georgia Foundation for Agriculture, highlighting significant mental health challenges farmers face in the agricultural community.
A 2022 survey conducted for the study contacted 1,651 individuals and showed 96 percent of farmers experience moderate to high stress levels. Almost half of the respondents said they felt sad or depressed, while 39

percent said they felt hopeless. The study also found an alarming num-
ber of respondents who contemplated suicide. Twenty-nine percent of farmers said they think about dying by suicide at least once a month, and 42 percent said they have thought about it at least once in the previous 12 months.
Reaching out to talk with someone about suicide is difficult, more so in rural areas where healthcare resources are less accessible. Most farmers reported in the survey that they could not access a psychologist by telephone, online or in person. Approximately 60 percent of farmers do not have access to basic medical care, according to the study.
Harper said he and the GDA will continue working with the state's public health officials and UGA Extension Cooperative and continue to find ways to help.
The GDA has made a substantial investment of $500,000 in mental health resourc-

es and awareness using a USDA NIFA-SDA Georgia Healthy Farmer Mindset Grant. Over the past five years, the GDA has dedicated this funding to various critical initiatives, including training, outreach, education and collaboration with partner agencies. Training efforts encompass staff and public outreach, veteran training, and legal and financial training.
The funding has also supports awareness efforts in Georgia, such as Mental Health Day at the Capitol, Mental Health Awareness Month, and World Mental Health Day.
"In Georgia, our farmers and producers are the backbone of our state and our state's economy, and we're proud to partner with DBHDD and UGA Extension to make significant investments in mental health resources and awareness to ensure Georgia farmers have access to the quality mental health care they deserve," Harper said.
Johnson described UGA Extension as

uniquely positioned to help as "boots on the ground" from Extension offices across the state. "We look forward to expanding our efforts in health and wellness across the state in collaboration with DBHDD, Georgia's Agriculture Department, the Georgia Farm Bureau and other local partners," she said.
UGA Extension increased its assistance in farming communities after hurricanes Irma and Michael in 2018. The COVID-19 pandemic further stressed those communities. UGA Extension began to educate and expand personnel in the field. UGA Extension formed a Behavioral Health Team with a diverse range of experts and secured nearly $2.2 million in grant funds for behavioral health and rural stress work since 2020.
UGA's "Rural Georgia: Growing Stronger" program also offers workshops, online courses and a holistic approach to improving mental health outcomes for farmers and their families.

Centennial Farms: Designation secures families' history for generations
Continued From Page 1

toys that cost a lot more money." He added that he would work to continue the success of family farming in Georgia as the state's agriculture commissioner.
"It's that investment in the next generation ensuring that agriculture continues to be successful every single day," Harper said. "It also ensures young men and women have opportunities just like I did as a young boy."
Harper continued, "Like many of you who've had their operations for a long time, I still till the same piece of dirt that's been in my family for almost 150 years, so I understand. I encourage you to continue to invest in those young men and women. If not for that investment, I would not be where I am today."
Georgia Farm Bureau President Tom McCall commented on the bonds developed in a family-owned farm and their positive impact on the farm operations and the community.

"If y'all are Centennial farmers now, I hope your grandkids will be," McCall said. "I say all the time I did not inherit my farm from my ancestors; I'm borrowing it from my grandkids, and that's what y'all are doing, and thank you for taking care of your farms so your grandkids will have somewhere to come back to if that is what they want to do."
Beth McLaughlin said that is her hope with her family's Ganas Farm in Lanier County. At the ceremony, McLaughlin introduced her granddaughter, Athena, 4, and said the designation as a Georgia Centennial Farm means their family history will be there for Athena and her siblings and cousins.
"I just thought it was a wonderful way to preserve our family history and for the families who come later to know their history because we are just stewards of the land," McLaughlin said. "We don't own this prop-

erty, per se. We are just taking care of it and passing it on to the next generation."
McLaughlin's farm began in 1922 by her grandfather, Joel Newton Ganas, when he purchased a 50-acre tract of land next to his father's farm. McLaughlin's mother and Ganas's daughter, Sarah Elizabeth Ganas, inherited the farm when her father died and when she was 18 years old. She managed the farm, supervised the workers there, and grew cotton, corn, peanuts and tobacco.
McLaughlin added that her mother preserved stories about the farm and their family, and the designation will allow her legacy to live on. She said a cousin had operated the farm for her over the years, but the place remained close to her mother.
"We didn't grow up on that farm. Mama was raised there, and she would take us back to visit. I thought of her as the keeper of the graves there because of the family graveyard. It was very important to her,"

McLaughlin said. Recognition is given to farm owners an-
nually through one of three distinguished awards: The Centennial Heritage Farm Award honors farms owned by members of the same family for 100 years or more and listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The Centennial Farm Award does not require continual family ownership, but farms must be at least 100 years old and listed in the National Register. The Centennial Family Farm Award recognizes farms owned by members of the same family for 100 years or more that are not listed in the National Register. Nominate a farm for recognition online at https://www.dca.ga.gov/ georgia-historic-preservation-division/historic-resources/centennial-farms, or contact Rose Mayo at rose.mayo@dca.ga.gov. The postmark deadline for applications is May 1 of each year.

A day of learning at Meriwether County Ag Day

The Meriwether County Cattlemen's Association held an Ag Day for fifth-grade students from the county's public schools and Flint River Academy earlier this year.
The event was held Sept. 28 at Oakhill Cattle Ranch near Greenville and organized by Darrell McCoy, Oakhill owner and president of the local Cattlemen's Association, and Dustin Owens, a member of the Ag Day's organizing committee.
During the day-long event, the students saw several farm demonstrations and agricultural information programs. The Coweta County 4-H flag riders performed midday for everyone.
Owens explained the event was the first Ag Day held by the local Cattlemen's Association, and they look to make it

an annual event. "It was a resounding success," Owens said. "Everyone
was talking about it afterward." Organizations participating in the Ag Day included the
Georgia Dairy Association, Georgia Forestry Commission, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Georgia Beef Board, UGA Extension Cooperative, Fitzgerald Fruit Farms, and local farmer Brian Massengale, who did a poultry demonstration

Georgie's Drive to the Governor's Mansion
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our #1 industry, agriculture! This week, Ginny and I traveled to the Governor's Mansion to attend the fifth pet adoption event held there by Georgia's First Lady, Marty Kemp! There were dozens of pets that found new homes on Oct. 21. A Georgia Grown village was also set up in the orchard nearby where lots of Georgia Grown products were offered for sale.
After the event, Ginny and I went to see the "First Flock." Established in 2020, the First Lady worked with several folks from 4-H, FFA, UGA and the Georgia Poultry Federation to build a working chicken flock at the mansion. After a statewide design competition was held, the Warren County FFA chapter's coop design was selected and used in the construction of the First Flock's new home. The coop contains several breeds of popular backyard chickens: Australorps, Barred Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, and Ameraucanas. These birds all produce brown eggs except for the Ameraucana, which is also known as the "Easter Egg Chicken" because it produces eggs that are blue, green or pink. The First Lady also established the "First Hive," a working beehive on the grounds in 2022.
