Georgia creates lasting legacy during its year as the Sunbelt Ag Expo's Spotlight State
By Dallas Duncan

Thousands of visitors from across the country stepped through the new Spotlight State Building at the 2014 Sunbelt Agricultural Exposition in Moultrie, Ga., on Oct. 14 through 16. The Georgia exhibit featured a massive mural and giveaways representing the state's diverse crop and livestock production. Photo by Dallas Duncan

Despite a wet and muddy start, the 37th annual Sunbelt Agricultural Exposition drew record crowds this year. Approximately 75,000 visitors from across the country made the trek to the three-day farm show.
"There was a silver lining with the rain on Tuesday [Oct. 14] that was, the farmers couldn't get in the field on Wednesday and Thursday, so it really enhanced the quality of our crowd. They had a chance to come to the show," said Chip Blalock, the Expo's executive director.
That was good news for vendors like Rusty Harris, territory manager for DuPont Pioneer.
"Here on Wednesday [Oct. 15], there's a very large crowd and I visited with a lot of customers and plenty of other folks who've come by, so it's been a good, productive year so far," Harris said.
Expo had something to offer for visitors of all ages, even 3-year-old Wyatt Cook of Ashburn, Ga. His favorite part was getting to sit on four-wheelers and tractors, and he said he liked the "orange Kubota" best.
Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture Gary W. Black said Expo was "another blue ribbon edition" and called it one of his favorite weeks of the year.
"Sunbelt is one of the few places in America where farmers really get hands-on, literally ground-proofed data on equipment, seed varieties, livestock and technology that can immediately have a positive impact on their operation," he said.
The focal point for many attending Sunbelt this year was the new Spotlight State Building, created by the Georgia Spotlight State Committee as a permanent way to honor the highlighted state each year.
"Since Georgia is the host of Sunbelt Expo, we wanted to capitalize See EXPO, page 7

Georgia edges out Michigan to take top spot in blueberry production

By Dallas Duncan
Georgia might traditionally be a red state in terms of politics, but when it comes to produce, it's all blue: Georgia now leads the nation in cultivated blueberry production.
The state produced 96 million pounds of blueberries in 2014, edging out the traditional blueberry capital of Michigan, which grew 91.5 million pounds this year, according to the North American Blueberry Council.
"This is just one more feather in Georgia's highly decorated agricultural cap," Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture Gary W. Black said. "We continue to rank No. 1 in the nation for poultry, peanuts, pecans and wood pulp, and now adding blueberries to that list simply reaffirms agriculture's staying power and impact on Georgia's economy."
Black attributes the industry's 15 to 20 percent annual growth to a collaborative effort between researchers and producers.

One of those researchers is Scott NeSmith, horticulture professor at the University of Georgia-Griffin Campus. When NeSmith first came to Georgia in 1990, the state only had 3,000 acres of blueberries and produced between 3 and 5 million pounds of fruit. A few years later, he took over the blueberry breeding program and the infant industry blossomed.
"We've been trying to work hard and make varieties to help our growers out," NeSmith said. "It was a pretty good combination of growers' ingenuity, their desire to do something new and try new things. They worked closely with us in research and Extension and allowed us to do things on their farm."
One of those things was lengthening the growing season. Georgia's original blueberry season was late May through mid-July, but it now goes back into mid-April.
"That's a pretty big thing in itself," NeSmith said. "Georgia has one of the longest blueberry growing seasons in the nation."

Blueberries are also bred to flower later to miss spring freezes, to have better shelf quality and to increase yield, he said.
There are two types of blueberries grown in Georgia: rabbiteye and Southern highbush. Improved varieties of rabbiteye include TifBlue, Brightwell, Alapaha and Vernon, bred for earlier ripening and improved fruit quality, NeSmith said. Southern highbush improved berries include the Rebel, Suziblue and Camellia.
"They seem like they're going to catch on and provide some people with the varieties that they want," NeSmith said. "With blueberries, there's no one berry that's the magic bullet that does everything for everyone at the right time."
Producers can obtain these patented cultivars by purchasing from a licensed grower, a list of which can be obtained from UGA, said Brent Marable, UGA plant licensing manager.

GEORGIA GROWN PROFILE: Chteau lan

Resort aims to be most prominent winery on East Coast

By Beth Mohler, fall intern
Chteau lan Winery & Resort, regarded as the largest and most awarded winery in the state of Georgia, is located on a 30-acre estate vineyard in Braselton, Ga. The property features a full production winery and luxury resort with 63 holes of golf and European spa and fitness centers. In addition to offering winery tours, tastings and special events, the resort is home to tennis courts, equestrian facilities and culinary experiences. Chteau lan also launched a new wine program, which includes a replanted estate vineyard, a renovated winery building and an internationally awarded wine maker, all in a commitment to premium quality wine production.
"Our goal is to be the most prominent winery on the East Coast," said Sean Wilborn, the wine sales manager for Chteau lan.
Chteau lan is a big proponent of Georgia wine production. It was

only natural to join Georgia Grown, as its philosophies and vision were well-aligned with the goals set out by the Georgia Grown initiative, Wilborn said.
"There are new and exciting innovations in Georgia agriculture that go beyond our coveted peaches, peanuts and pecans. We can also produce premium wine grapes, exotic ginger and world-class olive oil," Wilborn said. Part of how Chteau lan is able to promote Georgia agriculture is through featured retail products. About 90 percent of the products featured are from local producers and artisans, many of which
are a part of the Georgia Grown program. Chteau lan also uses the Georgia Grown label in marketing pieces and advertising to highlight its membership.
"We're proud to share Georgia pride with other hardworking Georgia entrepreneurs," Wilborn said.

TAKE 5: Meet Georgie Grown
1. Tell us about how you came to be the Department's mascot.
Like many dogs and cats in Georgia, I was adopted from a local animal shelter. Commissioner Black and the Department rescued me and I became part of their family. I love agriculture (and playing in the dirt), so Commissioner Black asked me if I would be interested in serving as the mascot for Georgia Grown and the Georgia Department of Agriculture. It was like a dream come true! Now I travel around our beautiful state teaching students about the importance of agriculture.
2. What is your favorite part of going to Georgia Grown events?
The best thing about going to Georgia Grown events is making new friends! Like most dogs, I love meeting new people and getting lots of exercise. I love to travel to different places and teach students about the different types of agriculture in Georgia. Many people come to Georgia Grown events to sell their unique products. Some of the Georgia Grown items you can buy include jellies, granola, barbecue sauces and cookies! But there are so many amazing Georgia Grown members that there really is something for everyone.
3. Everyone loves Georgia Grown products, even pups like you but there are some foods that canines shouldn't
eat. What are some examples of Georgia-grown foods that are best kept at the dinner table and not in the dog
bowl?
It is true that some Georgia Grown foods are not safe for dogs or cats. According to State Veterinarian Dr. Robert Cobb, you should avoid giving human food to your pet unless recommended by your veterinarian. Chocolate, coffee, grapes, raisins and macadamia nuts are just a few examples of human foods that can be harmful to your pet. If you suspect your pet may have eaten a dangerous food, contact your veterinarian immediately.
4. We saw your new coloring book and cookbook at the Georgia National Fair and Sunbelt Ag Expo this year!
Tell us a little about those and how our readers can get a copy.
We are so excited about these! My coloring book, Georgie Grown's Adventures in Agriculture, is filled with fun learning activities about Georgia agriculture, and my Georgie Grown Cookbook has some of my favorite recipes that are healthy and kid-friendly. You can get your own copy at one of our Georgia Grown events, or visit www.georgiagrown. com and click on the Farm to School link.
5. As an official mascot, you've got a lot of appointments on your schedule. Where can Market Bulletin readers
go to meet you at an upcoming event?
Please go to www.georgiagrown.com and click on the Events page. My Department family will do their best to bring me to most Georgia Grown events listed on the calendar. If you are interested in having me come to your school, please contact Misty Friedman at Misty.Friedman@agr.georgia.gov or 404-859-5029.
Georgie Grown took on the role as the official Department and Georgia Grown mascot in 2013. The Market Bulletin staff would like to thank Chris Green, special assistant to the commissioner, for helping connect us with Georgie.

GUEST COLUMN: Georgia Farm Bureau Young Farmers

As the largest general farm orga-

nization in Georgia, Georgia Farm

Bureau fully understands the need to

sustain a positive future for agricul-

ture in our state. One way Georgia

Farm Bureau does this is through the

GFB Young Farmer Program.

The GFB Young Farmer Program

brings young adults (18 to 35 years

of age) together from across Georgia

EVANS

to increase their participation in Farm Bureau activities and increase leader-

ship abilities. The Young Farmer Program is designed

for young Farm Bureau members who have an interest in

agriculture and wish to become more involved in Farm

Bureau on the local, state and national levels. With Ameri-

cans being further removed from the farm than ever before,

it is critical that young agriculturalists work together to

advocate on behalf of our state's largest industry. The GFB

YF is one vehicle for doing this and serves as a common

ground for agriculturalists from all backgrounds. Through

the GFB YF program, young farmers can stay informed

and become better educated about agricultural issues that

will help better prepare us to take actions that benefit our

families, farms and the entire agriculture industry.

As young farmers, we must understand the impor-

tance of getting "outside of our fence rows" and working

together to create sound policy so that we can continue

to feed and clothe the world. As the world becomes less

knowledgeable about true farming practices, it is impera-

tive that we work together to educate consumers, elected

officials, teachers and children about where food comes

from and how we produce the safest, most affordable and

most abundant food in the world. Agriculture is Georgia's

leading industry, but with a smaller percentage of American

citizens working in the farm sector, it is more important

than ever that we work together to tell our story and make our voices heard.
The GFB YF program expands the opportunities young agriculturalists have by providing opportunities to learn through educational conferences, interact and exchange ideas with fellow young farmers and agricultural supporters, develop leadership skills and attain the latest information regarding issues and challenges affecting agriculture and farm families. On the state level, there are two particular programs that young farmers should be aware of.
Each July, the GFB State Young Farmer Committee hosts the annual GFB Young Farmer Leadership Conference in Jekyll Island, Ga. Roughly 400 young farmers gather together for a time of networking, learning and competing for three days. This conference allows young farmers to strengthen bonds and create new friendships across the state that allow us to more effectively share our agricultural story while increasing the power we have as a group of young farmers in shaping the future of our industry.
A second event is the annual Young Farmers to Washington trip, where 30 young farmers from across Georgia travel to DC to share concerns and ideas with our representatives and senators. On this trip, young farmers learn how the federal policy making process works while sharing with elected officials our concerns and needs we have back home. Each of these events will help further develop the leadership skills of young farmers and help advance our industry.
The GFB YF program works very closely with Georgia FFA, Georgia 4-H, Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College and the University of Georgia and serves as a natural progression for young agriculturalists graduating from these schools and programs.
For more information about the GFB YF program, visit
www.gfb.org/yf or stop by your county Farm Bureau office.

Letter from the editor
We're No. 1! We're No. 1! This is an opinion-type column, so I will unabashedly cheer for our blueberry industry. As Elle Woods so excitedly said in her Harvard Law School graduation speech in Legally Blonde, "We did it!" And by "we" I mean the team of incredible researchers, awesome Extension agents and dedicated producers who committed their careers, their land and their expertise to turning what Professor Scott NeSmith called an "infant industry" into the king of the hill it is today. Oh, right. I suppose "we" should also include those of us who like blueberries, blueberry juice, chocolate-covered blueberries and everything else made with this fruit. So, basically that's all of us in the state of Georgia, give or take a few people who choose to eschew these tasty little morsels from their daily diets. Arty Schronce, who you may recognize as the author of our famed "Arty's Garden" column over on page 7, came in my office this morning and we discussed how amazing it is to see excuse the pun the fruits of this labor, decades in the making. He made a very good point: most consumers don't think about those decades when they're picking up a clamshell of blueberries at the grocery store. Georgia didn't go to the top spot overnight. Joe Q. Public in Alma didn't plant a blueberry bush Monday and by Tuesday his neighbors all caught on and planted a couple themselves and by Friday we had 96 million pounds of blueberries popping up all over the Peach State. Exactly the opposite, in fact. You try telling a third-generation row crop farmer that he should plant a few blueberries because maybe in like, 10 more years, we'll have the longest growing season in the country and we need more farmers to try out how this variety grows in his soil. Sounds like telling a die-hard Coke fan to start drinking Pepsi. Blueberries do grow well in Alma, Waycross and Homerville, Ga., as well as anywhere there were previously pine trees, because the soil is acidic, according to NeSmith. But growers across the state can treat their soil and adapt it to the plant, even if they once had row crops. You can do this in your backyard, too, not just on a multi-acre farm. County Extension agents can be reached at 1-800-ASK-UGA1 to give tons of planting and growing advice, as well as recommendations for which improved or native varieties will grow best in your climate. There's another facet to the growth of our blueberry industry, aside from convincing more and more producers that they're worthy of planting. That's convincing the rest of us non-farmers that they're worthy of eating (the second part of the "we" I mentioned above!). According to the US Highbush Blueberry Council, blueberries are excellent sources of vitamin C, which promotes wound healing; good sources of manganese, which helps our bodies process cholesterol and other nutrients; and are also good sources of dietary fiber this can help reduce the risk of heart disease and help make people feel fuller faster. The increased awareness consumers have for food and nutrition is probably a big contributor to per capita consumption of blueberries increasing from 193 million pounds in 1995 to a projected 735 million pounds by next year, according to data on the council's website. I mean, we all know by now that I prefer steak to salad and bacon to beets. But I do like me some blueberries, so news like all that about its nutrition makes me hanker for a smoothie. Maybe I'll get a large-size one to help bump up blueberry demand so we can keep Michigan out of the running again next year ... We need a little bit of revenge from that 2012 bowl game
loss to the Spartans, anyway.

ARTY'S GARDEN: Shrubs can add
fall color to Georgia landscapes

FEATURE RECIPE:
Celebrating Georgia's fall crops

I love to go to the mountains to see the leaves, but since I can't always make it to north Georgia in October, I am glad that more people are including plants with colorful fall foliage in their gardens.
Trees ginkgo, sugar maple, sweet gum, sourwood, Japanese maple, red maple, hickories, American beech, scarlet oak, flowering dogwood and sassafras, to name a few are not the only options for those wanting to brighten their home landscapes. I urge gardeners, especially those without much space, to consider shrubs that send the color wheel spinning in the fall. Some of these can even fit into townhouse or condominium gardens.
Here are a few to consider along with an indication of their possible color range: fothergillas (yellow to orange and scarlet), Virginia sweetspire (crimson to scarlet), oakleaf hydrangea (red to maroon and orangey brown), staghorn sumac (yellow to orange and scarlet), shining sumac (crimson to scarlet), blackhaw viburnum (red to deep red and purple), arrowwood viburnum (yellow to reddish purple), aronia (red to crimson), sweet-bubby bush (yellow), pomegranate (yellow), cutleaf Japanese maple (yellow to scarlet and burnt orange) and blueberry (crimson to scarlet). The sumacs, viburnums and the cutleaf Japanese maple can grow to be considered small trees, but the maple takes considerable time to do so and the others are not huge even if allowed to reach full size.
Burning bush (Euonymous alata) has striking red foliage in the fall, but has become so invasive in our woodlands that it is no longer recommended. Plant a blueberry bush instead. Besides colorful autumn foliage, blueberries have attractive white, urn-shaped flowers in spring, stems that can take on a rosy glow in winter and berries that you or songbirds may enjoy.
Also, don't overlook the fall color that comes from berried shrubs such as American beautyberry and winterberry, or flowering shrubs such as sasanquas. Many roses are at their peak in early fall and may also offer colorful fruits known as hips. The foliage of perennials such as royal fern, cinnamon fern, bletilla orchid and hostas adds yellows and browns. And, of course, there are plenty of

FOTHERGILLA (front), witch hazel (right) and oakleaf hydrangea are three good choices for fall color in Georgia gardens. The oakleaf hydrangea here is just beginning to show signs of wine-red leaves.
fall-blooming perennials such as native asters and goldenrods.
Visit a botanical garden or another public garden to see some of your options: the plants mentioned in this article are only a sampling of the possibilities! A horticulturist at your local nursery or garden center will be able to provide more information and assist you with your decisions.
Arty Schronce is the Department's resident
gardening expert. He is sometimes called the "Fall
Guy" because he is constantly encouraging gar-
deners to plant for autumn beauty.

Editor's Note: Fall brings to mind warm, comforting dishes with a dash of cinnamon and maybe some pumpkin spice. Celebrate the flavors of Georgia's autumn crops with a breakfast (or dessert!) dish and a savory side to keep in your recipe box for upcoming holiday meals. The French toast can be prepared the night before serving, and the dressing is best served with chicken or turkey.
Pecan French toast

Ingredients: 4 eggs 1 cup milk cup sugar teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Eight-ounce loaf French bread, cut inch 12 one-inch pieces
1 cup chopped Georgia pecans 3 tablespoons melted butter 3 tablespoons powdered sugar Maple syrup

Instructions: 1. Combine eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Whisk to combine. 2. Place sliced bred in a buttered 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour egg mixture
evenly over the bread. Turn slices once; cover and refrigerate overnight. 3. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. 4. Bake 20 minutes, then add pecans and melted butter. Bake an addition-
al 10 minutes until brown and bubbly do not allow the pecans to burn. 5. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve warm with a side of maple
syrup.

EXPO: Georgia celebrates year as Spotlight State

with building, Farmer of the Year winner

From Page 1

on that," said Carla Wood, director of signature events for the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. "After all of the efforts we'd be putting into this project, why not leave a lasting legacy? We didn't want it to be three days and done."
UGA CAES was one of several agricultural organizations charged with creating Georgia's Spotlight State exhibit, the first to be featured in the new building.
The new building features inlaid granite seals representing each of the 10 states that participate in the Expo, as well as the Sunbelt seal. Even these seals have a Georgia spotlight: they were created by a UGA alum at Keystone Memorials in Elberton, Ga. Another draw was the mural showcasing Georgia's crops and livestock.
"The public that we saw and interacted with, they loved the mural and loved how it depicted Georgia agriculture," Wood said. "It depicted basically Atlanta from Savannah, and we tried to incorporate rural agriculture and urban agriculture in one mural."
Like the Spotlight State Building, Wood said the committee hoped that the mural would not be a "one and done" thing. Other organizations are already requesting for the artwork to travel to agricultural events throughout the state in the coming year.
And to cap off Georgia's year as Spotlight State, visitors were in for a sweet surprise Philip

Grimes, owner of Docia Farms in Tifton, Ga., was selected as the overall Swisher Sweets Farmer of the Year at a luncheon on Oct. 14.
"For me to be the top winner was overwhelming," Grimes said. "I feel good about that, being the Spotlight State and the Georgia winner at the same time."
He said the Farmer of the Year experience was a memory to last a lifetime, and he hopes it will inspire his family to carry on and maybe follow in his footsteps in years to come.
"It's a very humbling experience. It's a great honor to be up there with this group of farmers that I was," Grimes said. "They're hardworking guys; they've all got something special on the farm that they're doing, and it's just been a great experience to be here and meet these guys."
Blalock credited Grimes' selection to a number of his farming practices, including environmental stewardship, diversification, incredible crop yields and confidence in trying new things.
"All 10 of our Farmers of the Year are A-plus farmers. The judges had the incredible task of deciding which one was A-plus-plus," Blalock said. "It's just an honor for us to have a farm family of the caliber of Philip and Jane Grimes as our Farmer of the Year."
He said everything about the Spotlight State this year was "first class," and looks forward to Mississippi and South Carolina continuing the legacy In 2015 and 2016.

Apple and sausage dressing

Ingredients: 1 tablespoon butter 1 cup onions or green onions,
chopped 1 pound hot sausage 3 cups French bread, cubed

1 egg, beaten 1.5 cups chopped Georgia apples 1 cup chicken broth Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. 2. Melt butter in a large skillet and saut onions. Place aside in a large bowl. 3. Cook sausage until done. Drain and place in the bowl with onions. Add
bread, egg and apples to the bowl. 4. Place mixture in an 8x8-inch casserole dish and pour chicken broth over
the top. 5. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

VISIT WITH A VET: Encephalic listeriosis in goats and sheep
Visit with a Georgia veterinarian in this monthly feature. This edition
comes from Dr. Marcia Ilha of the University of Georgia-Tifton Veterinary
Diagnostic Laboratory.
Listeriosis is caused by Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium found in the environment that can multiply in diverse conditions. Listeriosis usually has a distinct seasonal occurrence with the highest prevalence winter and early spring December through May. Listeriosis is also known as "silage disease" due to a strong association of outbreaks with consumption of spoiled silage. The bacterium proliferates in rotting vegetation, including spoiled silage or haylage, rotting hay and decaying forage at the bottom of feed bunks.
Listeriosis can show itself as three separate disease syndromes: abortion; septicemia, or systemic infection; and encephalitis, or neurologic disease.
With winter approaching, sheep and goat farmers should be aware of the third form of listeriosis in small ruminants. Encephalic listeriosis is also known as "circling disease" because most affected animals move in a characteristic circular pattern. Clinical signs in sheep and goats include loss of coordination, head deviation, head tilt, walking in circles, facial paralysis with drooping of the ear, paralysis of the lips and drooping of the upper eyelid. Poor jaw muscle tone or a dropped jaw may also be seen. Infected animals have difficulty picking up food and eating, and may stand for long periods drooling saliva and with food hanging from their mouths. Infected animals may exhibit ataxia, or jerking, uncoordinated movements, and may fall to one side or lean against a fence or other structure.
Cows are also affected by the encephalic form of listeriosis. A few cases of encephalic listeriosis are seen in small ruminants and cows at the Tifton Diagnostic Laboratory each year.
Though most cases are associated with contaminated forage, listeriosis can occur sporadically in animals on pasture that have no access to silage. The disease can be seen in a single animal or as a flock or herd outbreak. Clinical signs are usually observed 10 to 21 days after exposure to contaminated feed material. Often 2 percent of the flock or herd can be affected in an outbreak. In exceptional circumstances, it may affect 10 to 30 percent of the animals.
To definitively diagnose listeriosis, a postmortem examination is required. Producers must submit either the entire carcass or the head and brain of the affected animal to the laboratory for microscopic and microbiological testing.
A laboratory diagnosis is very important in cases of neurologic disease in farm animals, since rabies, pregnancy toxemia, brain toxemia and poisoning are other potential differential diagnoses for ruminants showing similar neurologic signs. Proper diagnosis of neurologic disease in sheep and goats is also important for Scrapie eradication programs. If you have an animal affected by a neurologic condition, both of the University of Georgia Vet-
erinary Diagnostic Laboratories can provide postmortem diagnostic assis-
tance. Please consult with your local veterinarian to arrange submission of
the affected animal to the laboratory. For more information about listeriosis
and postmortem testing, please contact the Athens or Tifton labs at 706-542-
5977 and 229-386-7128, respectively, or visit www.ugavetlab.org.

Farmers encouraged to sign up for feral

swine hunting partnership

By Dallas Duncan
Georgia has a serious problem with feral swine, according to State Veterinarian Dr. Robert Cobb. Nationwide, the swine cause $1.8 billion dollars in crop damage and are known to transmit diseases to humans, pets and livestock.
Cobb said Georgia has a serious problem with feral hogs.
"We want to do all we can to facilitate the control and eradication of feral swine," Cobb said.
Enter the Hunters Helping Farmers program. The partnership between the Department and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources debuted in mid-October as a way to link producers who have feral hogs with hunters who want to eradicate them.
"We're providing basically a dating service type of thing. DNR is providing us with a list of hunters that they've approved," Cobb said. "We're able to field calls from farmers that had a feral swine problem and offer them an option of utilizing these approved hunters to come onto their property if they so choose. The farmers can set the rules as to what they can and can't hunt, and when they can come."
Hunters with a valid hunting license are eligible to participate, according to DNR. Farmers will be given hunters' contact information to call them directly. The type of hunting method, amount of animals killed and other details are up to the discretion of each producer. Hunters can take the carcass to a Department licensed custom exempt slaughter facility to be processed for their own needs or they

can bury the carcass according to dead animal disposal rules, Cobb said.
Though feral swine are common in wetlands, Cobb said people are noticing them in other areas as citizens transport feral hogs to other parts of the state and release them for hunting leases.
"That's one of our major problems: the movement of these swine," Cobb said. "Feral swine produce litters and it takes three months, three weeks and three days the typical gestation of pigs to produce a litter of eight to 12 animals. They can possibly have at least two litters a year, so their numbers can increase rapidly."
He said they're even found in some urban areas now as Georgians start to feed them.
"These pigs are not nice guys," Cobb said. "Pets as well as people are in danger around these animals. They can be pretty big and they are really mean and fast."
Producers who have an issue with feral swine on their farms are encouraged to look at the Hunters Helping Farmers program as one option to alleviate their situations, Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture Gary W. Black said.
"It is a natural fit for us to help facilitate a relationship between farmers looking for ways to control hog issues on their land, and hunters looking to hunt them," Black said. "It is just one tool in the toolbox in combating this problem. In no way will this be a silver bullet, but hopefully one small way we can help assist in this huge issue for our farmers."

Department, Governor's Office of Highway Safety kick off 2014 road safety campaign

By Dallas Duncan
The Department is again partnering with the Governor's Office of Highway Safety this fall for the fourth campaign to improve Georgia's yield behind the wheel, encouraging drivers to be aware of farm machinery on the road, and vice-versa.
"We're continuing to see a problem with the number of injuries and fatalities involving crashes between farm vehicles and passenger cars and trucks," said Harris Blackwood, GOHS director.
In 2013, there were 463 crashes involving vehicles and farm machinery, Blackwood said. Those crashes caused 169 injuries and 10 fatalities. This year's partnership follows the theme of "don't plow into a tractor."
The Thomasville post for Georgia State Patrol has already seen one fatality this year from a crash involving a passenger vehicle and a tractor, said Post Commander Sgt. Tommy Peeples.
"The one fatality we have had this year was the result of a motorist just not noticing the tractor in front of him and running into the rear of him," Peeples said. "We ask that you drive the speed limit, wear your seatbelt and we can prevent most of the injuries and fatalities on most of the roadways."
Blackwood shared the story of a south Georgia farmer who was injured last year and is still recovering from his injuries. The lengthy recovery hurt more than just the farmer it affected his production as well.

"Often it is the farmer or a key member of his team that is injured in these crashes and it hurts the farming operation," Blackwood said.
Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture Gary W. Black advised farmers to make sure their equipment is properly maintained, and to display flashing lights and slow-moving vehicle signs as necessary. Peeples said motorists need to anticipate what farm machinery operators will do and adjust their speed and space between vehicles accordingly.
"These farm tractors are traveling at a slow rate of speed. You'll be up on them before you realize it," Peeples said. "These tractors are usually very large and the operator of the tractor can't see very well."
Blackwood said drivers must remember that when they drive 55 miles per hour, they travel the distance of a football field in about five seconds about the time it takes to react, slow down and avoid a crash.
"We understand the physics of this," he said. "A big piece of equipment versus a two-ton car: the big piece of equipment is going to win, but sometimes it is the driver of that tractor that is ejected. It's happened too often."
The most important thing drivers can do is to pay attention, put the phone down and drive, Blackwood said.
"Pay attention to the roads of this state, and let's make Georgia safer for everyone who uses our roads," he said.

be tangibly attributed to our college. It truly is a `success story' of how a landgrant university can come alongside a very small industry and be with it step by step as it grows to heights that were never imagined just 20 short years ago," Marable said.
Richard Byne, owner of Byne Blueberry Farms in Waynesboro, Ga., has been following Georgia's blueberry journey since the 1980s.
Byne said he anticipated peoples' eating habits changing, and he felt he could do more with crops on 1.5 acres than he could with livestock.
"We grow 20 acres of blueberries," Byne said. "We get about 5,000 pounds an acre, so you can figure about 100,000 pounds of blueberries."
He said Georgia's top spot is testament to the state's "aggressive, but yet progressive" farmers who want to do a good job.
Byne said his family is selective about which berries are sold fresh. That means he and other growers must be inventive about how to package the rest of their harvest. His farm won at the category level at Flavor of Georgia 2012, 2013 and 2014 contest for chocolate-covered blueberries, the Georgia blueberry bar and blueberry juice.
"It was easy to do jams, jellies and preserves. The other products that we did were like the bar, the chocolate blueberries and the blueberry salsa, trying to be innovative in products," Byne said. "A blueberry should be available for everybody. Everyone has a different taste bud or different palate. I think by coming up with more and more products, you're giving them that choice."
This isn't the end of Georgia's climb to blueberry royalty. Though Georgia is the No. 1 producer of cultivated varieties, NeSmith said Maine still edges Georgia for native blueberries, 95 percent of which go into processing. There's plenty of room for growth, he said.
"I knew we were getting bigger all the time," NeSmith said. "This year I think things came together and we had pretty good production. We had potential to do 25 percent more if things come together. The growers had their plants in the ground and our potential is there, so it's a matter of weather cooperating."
