BLACK, COMMISSIONER WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2014 VOL. 97, NO. 24 COPYRIGHT 2014 Mail to: Published by the Ga. Department of Agriculture Gary W. Black, Commissioner American Standard Bronze Turkeys at White Oak Pastures in Bluffton, Ga. Photo courtesy White Oak Pastures Free-range fowl dominate state's turkey industry By Beth Mohler, fall intern The turkey, very nearly the national bird, instead serves as the centerpiece for Thanksgiving feasts. According to the National Turkey Federation, the average American consumes nearly 16 pounds of turkey annually, meaning these birds are in hot demand. "Traditionally turkey production is vertically integrated, much like the Georgia chicken industry," said Julie DeYoung, vice president of communication with Perdue. "Turkeys are bought by the company and contracted out to farmers to provide care and lodging. The company will often pay for feed, veterinary costs and the poults [young turkeys]. For their services, farmers are then paid a fee per head raised to maturity." Though this style of turkey production is popular in other states, it is not the model used on Georgia's 326 turkey farms. Nearly all of the farms in the state produce free-range, heritage breed birds, while operating on relatively small scales, according to the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Services. "We produce American Standard Bronze turkeys. During our peak season, near Thanksgiving and up on `til Christmas we have nearly 6,000 birds on the farm," said Will Harris, owner of White Oak Pastures in Bluffton, Ga. "These birds are allowed to roam freely on the farm and have a range of two or three miles. We're a lot smaller than some of the large farms that produce for big companies, but we use a lot more land and are able to produce other livestock on the same tract of land at the same time." To help overcome some of the adversity associated with this unique industry, farms rely on innovative ideas and technology, often building equipment themselves. For alternative housing, farmers created "turkey mobiles," as they are called at Hunter Cattle Company, which recently ventured into the turkey business in Brooklet, Ga. "We were approached by people who really want healthy, responsibly sourced, local meats, and we thought, why not turkeys," said Kristan Fretwell, a representative of Hunter Cattle Company. These "turkey mobiles" are open-sided, portable roosts where turkeys are fed and watered.

Former Georgia FFA president to lead national organization By Dallas Duncan Hear from newly inducted National FFA President Andy Paul in our latest video at www.youtube.com/user/gamktbulletin. This time last month, 19-year-old Andy Paul was a sophomore at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton, Ga., deciding what clothes to pack for National FFA Convention in Lexington, Ky. Now, he's on a whirlwind to finish his fall semester early so he can spend 300 of the next 365 days traveling the US and Japan, representing Georgia as the National FFA president. "We're all excited for Andy not only because it's going to be a great opportunity for him, but every time he goes anywhere, he'll be introduced as `National FFA president from Georgia,'" said Ben Lastly, Georgia FFA executive secretary. Paul is the 15th national officer and third national president to hail from the Peach State. He follows former national presidents Jim Thomas, 1959 to '60, and Hillary Smith, 1997 to 1998. Paul will take a year off of school to fulfil his presidential duties. "He'll do some local chapter meetings, local chapter banquets, corporate events. He'll probably travel to eight or 10 state FFA conventions," Lastly said, adding that Georgia's convention next May will be a pit stop for Paul. Paul is most excited about working with the nation's more than 600,000 FFA members during his term. He's also looking forward to practicing for his future career as an agricultural education teacher. "There's such a gap between the 2.2 million that are on the farm and those that aren't," See FFA, page 12 National FFA President Andy Paul stands at his favorite place on campus at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, a prayer garden funded by Georgia FFA in 1974. Paul will lead the national organization and represent more than 600,000 FFA members during the next year. Photo by Dallas Duncan GEORGIA GROWN PROFILE: Snyder's-Lance, Inc. Georgia branch home to bakery, candy plant and more By Beth Mohler, fall intern Snyder's-Lance, Inc. is the second-largest salty snack producer in the United States. It was formed in 2010 by the merger of Lance and Snyder's of Hanover. The company owns 14 different brands including Krunchers!, Cape Cod Potato Chips, Jays, Snyder's of Hanover, Lance, Grande and Toms. Snyder's-Lance distributes its products widely through grocery and mass merchandisers, convenience stores, membership club stores and food service outlets. Snyder's-Lance prides itself on its values of supporting local communities, quality, sustainability and its history and culture. Snyder'sLance helps support nine different states with production facilities, including Georgia. "We now are the peanut nucleus for the entire corporation, as we shell our own peanuts and process the peanuts into snack nuts ... and produce peanut paste [for peanut butter] and ship to our bakeries," said Jonathon White, the assistant peanut commodity manager. The branch in Columbus, Ga., houses a bakery, peanut plant, candy plant and distribution center. The location, formerly the home of Tom Huston Peanut Co., was purchased by the company in 2005. At this facility, Snyders-Lance does a little bit of everything. The company makes granola and snack bars in the candy plant and ships out orders to wholesale locations from its distribution center. With products from so many of the company's brands, the Columbus branch is a great sampling of all the tasty treats Snyder's-Lance offers, White said.

Wait, I know what you are thinking: farmers market "sea- son" is spring and summer. We are about to celebrate Thanks- giving and head into our winter months. Certainly this article has been published in the wrong issue! Let me explain. According THOMPSON to the Cambridge Dictionary, a farmers market is "a regular event in a town or city when farmers come to sell their fruit, vegetables, eggs, meats, etc. directly to consumers." We have seen this to certainly be true with the recent popularity and demand for local foods. One can likely find a market in their home- town on a Saturday morning or a given weekday afternoon for the majority of the "growing season." Luckily, Georgia has such a diverse growing season that we are able to find some type of fresh, local produce year-round, including fall and winter. The Department operates nine state markets in Forest Park (the Atlanta Market), Macon, Cordele, Moultrie, Thomasville, Cairo, Valdosta, Savannah and Augusta, many of which operate all year. The Atlanta State Farmers Market is the largest market in our network. What was once referred to as the "World's Largest Roadside Stand" has become the terminal market for the Southeastern United States. A terminal market as defined by Wikipedia is a "central site, often in a metropolitan area, that serves as an assembly and trading place for com- modities. Terminal markets for agricultural com- modities are usually at or near major transportation hubs." It stands to reason with that type of responsi- bility that the Atlanta Market is one that operates on a year-round basis, with produce being shipped in and out 24-7, 365 days a year. Aside from the wholesale produce trade, the market offers a garden center, retail produce and two on-site restaurants for your enjoyment. Year-round opportunities exist on just about ev- ery other state market as well. Get out and visit the meat market and the several hardy produce vendors who call the Macon Market home. Although our Cordele Market is thought of as a seasonal market that explodes with business in cantaloupe and watermelon season, there are a few vendors operating just about year round here as well, taking off for a bit of R&R in the winter months before getting ready for another season. Try the Moultrie and Thomasville Markets for fresh, local produce from one of the vendors who operate all year as well as onsite restaurants on each market that do a wonderful job. A trip to the Cairo market will yield two vendors operating under the "shed" with a variety of produce to choose from. Head east from Cairo to the Valdosta Market to find great vendors with a wide range to choose from, as well as a business specializing in pecan sales. Continuing on east, a trip to the Savannah Market will find another wonderful restaurant and several wholesale and retail produce dealers operating year-round. Wrap up with a trip to the Augusta Market to find fresh greens in the winter and a variety of produce in the spring and summer months. As you are making out the Thanksgiving menu, make sure visit these markets and add some Georgia-grown items to the plate. Sweet potato souffl covered in pecans, pecan pie and a fresh batch of the greens of your choice are just several ideas to add to your menu. When Thanksgiving lunch is over and you're ready to decorate for Christmas, don't forget the markets for your Christmas tree shopping experience. The Atlanta, Macon and Moultrie markets have a wide variety of fresh Christmas trees, wreaths and garland. Give your nearest market a call to see what is available and then head out for a market trip whenever the mood strikes, not just in the spring and summer. Paul Thompson is the director of markets for the Department. For questions about the Atlanta State Farmers Market, call 404-675-1782.

Dates to be announced in future issues. agriCULTURE Letter from the editor Happy (almost) Thanksgiving, Market Bulletin readers! As we gather around the table this week and dive into turkey, stuffing, dressing, pies, green bean casserole, rolls and all of the other mouth-watering goodies that await us, I want you to join me in reflecting on a major thing to be thankful for: safe food. Georgia is home to thousands of farmers of all shapes and sizes who work day in and day out to ensure that what is grown in their fields, cultivated in their gardens and raised in their pastures is safe to eat. Georgia is also home to hundreds of federal, state and local agriculture and public health inspectors whose jobs are to make sure that once that food leaves the field and hits further processing, restaurants or straight-up store shelves, is still safe to eat. I've heard it said before that the US has an increasing number of food recalls. People who get their information from incredibly credible sources like The Internets, Dr. Google and Dr. Oz sometimes get the notion that these food recalls are because farmers, inspectors, retailers or aliens from Venus pump food full of chemicals that make people sick. No. Just ... no. Here's why food recalls happen: we are increasingly aware of our food. There are stringent label requirements, detailed HACCP plans (that's the Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points plan that processors, abattoirs and other such facilities must create before they can even open their buildings) and rigorous testing that all surround food. Despite all of the controls and monitoring in place, sometimes an ingredient gets left off the label. Boom, food recall! Occasionally a chocolate bar is made and the wrapper designer accidentally leaves off an egg or dairy allergen warning. Wham, food recall! One time, glass of all things ended up off the processing line and in jars of salsa. Bam, food recall! A concerned mother purchases a bag of trail mix that got swapped in the line and it's actually granola inside the wrong package. Yikes, food recall! And yes, every now and then, there's a serious foodborne pathogen that leads to a food recall Salmonella, E. coli, Clostridium botulinum, for starters. When a recall happens, for any reason, Department retail and food safety inspectors are on the case, making sure recalled products are off the shelves and consumers are aware of the recall. Food recalls are kind of like opening mail every day. For every 30 envelopes that enter your mailbox, you probably manage to get a paper cut from opening one. You're always careful because you know paper cuts sting, but sometimes, it happens. And for a food manufacturer or farmer, the sting caused by a food recall can really sting. I'm talking millions and billions of dollars in lost sales, lawsuits and closed businesses sting. So it's in absolutely no one's best interest to intentionally do anything that could lead consumers to get ill, either from a food allergy or a foodborne pathogen. That being said, a portion of our safe food is also up to us, the consuming public. We must make sure that the food that stayed safe from the moment the seed hit the ground to the second the carrot wound up in our grocery carts is still safe when we pop it in our mouths on Thanksgiving Day as part of a carrot souffl. That means wash your produce before you cut into it (otherwise, your knife is drawing potential contaminants from the surface into the "meat" of the produce). It means don't cross-contaminate, so wash your utensils between uses and don't chop your romaine lettuce on the same cutting board you just laid the raw turkey on. Oh, and stuffing! Don't cook your stuffing inside your turkey (that's just asking for a side dish of something not-sosavory). Cook it as a separate dish and stuff the cooked turkey right before serving. Lastly, make sure you properly reheat and refrigerate leftovers after the main meal. Even though our families will graze throughout the afternoon and evening, we don't want to serve them botulism alongside room-temperature deviled eggs. Just as the grower, the manufacturer and the inspectors do their part to keep our food safe, we must do our part too. We've got some more Thanksgiving-specific food safety tips posted to the Bulletin Blog (you can find the website address at the bottom of page 12) to help you make sure your Turkey Day feast is memorable for all the good, safe food without a side of Salmonella.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2014 FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN 404-656-3722 PAGE 7 ARTY'S GARDEN: Gifts for gardeners I am sometimes asked about what to give gardeners for Christmas. Here are a few suggestions: A beginner with an empty garden may desire almost any plant and accept it eagerly, but you may not want to give a plant to a longtime gardener unless it was expressly asked for. Your friend may love irises, but might not have room for another or want one that doesn't fit into his or her garden design. This is doubly true for trees and shrubs: loving apples does not mean that someone wants an apple tree. Although you may not think it is imaginative, a gift certificate from a nursery is probably more appropriate for both beginner and advanced gardeners. It's beneficial to go to the nursery with the beginning gardener to answer questions and to help plant what is chosen. Avoid gadgets no matter how cute the name or clever the sales pitch. People have been gardening for thousands of years. If a new design is found for a hoe, you are not going to hear about it from an infomercial at 3 a.m. And none of those tools has ever been tested in hard red clay. If you are going to give a tool, find out what the gardener needs and buy the best one you can afford. Go for quality and stick with the classics. Novices and experts enjoy visiting other gardens, so consider a membership or a ticket to a botanical or public garden. A few in Georgia that come to mind are Coastal Georgia Botanical Gardens in Savannah (www.coastalgeorgiabg.org), Atlanta Botanical Garden (www.atlantabotanicalgarden. org), Gibbs Gardens in Ball Ground (www.gibbsgardens. com), Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain (www.callawaygardens.com) and the State Botanical Garden of Georgia in Athens (www.botgarden.uga.edu). With skin cancer rates on the rise, help protect your friend with a wide-brimmed garden hat or a havelock-style cap. Baseball caps are popular, but do not protect the ears and neck. Throw in a tube of sunscreen with the highest SPF possible. If your gardener has a bird feeder, consider a bag of birdseed. Slyly check beforehand to find out what kind is used Safflower? Black-oil sunflower? A rain gauge or outdoor thermometer will help the gardener compare notes with the weatherman. Go for quality, not decorativeness. Since gardening and cooking are sister arts, does your friend need a cast-iron skillet, colander, cutting board or knife to prepare the vegetables, fruits and herbs he or she grows? Garden books are also a great idea. My favorite garden writer is Marietta-born Elizabeth Lawrence. She has been called the "Jane Austen of Garden Writing." Other favorites include Roger Swain, William Lanier Hunt, Henry Mitchell, Allen Lacy and Nancy Goodwin. A subscription to Horticulture or another garden magazine is like a flower that blooms all year. Another gift that gives all year is the Farmers and Consumers Market Bulletin. It has something for everyone, including seeds, plants and supplies for those who garden, recipes for those who cook and articles and notices about horticulture and agriculture. But you knew that... Arty Schronce is the Department's resident gardening expert. He's a lifelong gardener and a horticulture gradu- ate of North Carolina State University who encourages everyone to discover the pleasures of plants and gardening. PROFILE: Snyders-Lance joined program at Founder's Circle level From Page 1 Snyder's-Lance pantry come from the buying point that is sourced by a large number of Georgia peanut producers, according to the company website. Snyder's-Lance produces 18 million pounds of peanut butter annually with all of those nuts sourced from the Southeast and nearly 50 percent annually coming from Georgia. The company joined Georgia Grown at the Founder's Circle level. "Georgia Grown seemed like a natural partnership for us and a great platform to promote our business across the state and the Southeast," White said. Snyder's-Lance utilized this opportunity to get in- volved and get exposure by participating in events such as Agriculture Day at the Capital and hosting a booth at the Georgia National Fair. "We need to encourage, educate and expose as many children as possible to agriculture to ensure that we have a bright future for our kids and our farms," White said. Snyder's-Lance feels that it is important for people to know just how important agriculture is not only for its business practices, but for the state as well. "It's really important for us to develop relationships throughout the agribusiness sector," White said. "You meet so many great folks."

Georgia's turkey producers also have alternative feed for their flocks. "Since turkeys are omnivores, they eat both grains and insects, and that's exactly what we feed them," Fretwell said. "We've developed a way to harvest insects from our compost here on the farm. The insects and worm larvae are harvested from the composter on the farm, allowing us to get even more use out of waste." Nearly two-thirds of the cost of raising a poult to maturity is feed costs, so farms that must outsource their processing will often only process the turkeys that have been presold. "We really can't process a turkey without someone to buy it. If the bird is not sold one year, we can keep it alive, keep it growing and try to sell it again next year," Fretwell said. "We really don't have that happen that often though. The birds practically sell themselves: people want to eat them, they're healthy and good for you and they taste a lot of people say better then store-bought turkeys." Social media and the Internet act as huge benefactors for the industry by providing both a larger customer base with little extra cost associated with heavy marketing campaigns, and an outlet for education. "People are able to purchase our turkeys and turkey products, from home, over the Internet and then have it delivered to their door," Harris said. "They can also come out to the farm and tour the processing plant, and come see the turkeys out in the pastures. It's a pretty wild thing. We feed them and water them daily by hand and you'll walk out there and 6,000 birds just surround you. People really get a kick out of watching that." FFA: Paul reminds students to not be defined by `potholes' in their journeys From Page 1 Paul said. "Agricultural literacy is at the time of its greatest need. When people think about agriculture, they think of that picturesque barn with the rolling hills and a red barn and some dairy cows. They don't realize agriculture is involved in everything." Travis Sertich, Paul's former agricultural education teacher at Oglethorpe County High School, said it's a "pretty big thing" for the county to be home to the national president. "I don't believe he's the national president by accident. He worked hard. He deserves it," Sertich said. "We're proud that we can call him one of our own." During his time with Oglethorpe FFA, Paul served as a chapter officer, competed in livestock judging and placed in a number of contests. He even got to bring a show pig to the Georgia Department of Education building in Atlanta for a "kiss the pig" contest. "Andy's always had leadership capabilities as far as being an officer. He's always been eager to learn and to improve and develop his knowledge of agriculture in many different ways," Sertich said. Paul began his foray into agriculture after his sister started showing swine. He followed her footsteps into the show ring and into an Oglethorpe FFA officer jacket several years later. But where his sister did not pursue state or national leadership, Paul decided to forge a path of his own. He likens his journey to national president to driving his "tiny Ford Ranger" down a pothole-studded road. "I got in the truck, I cranked it up and I started moving and I was able to get elected as a chapter officer," Paul said. "My truck was smooth sailing down the highway. My sophomore year of high school, I decided I'm going to run for area office. I had my truck going, had my speech ready bam, there's a pothole. I didn't get elected to area office, something I had worked really hard for." He said "OK," and swerved back onto the road. "My junior year, I decided I was going to run for state office. I didn't let my failure running for area office define my experience, so I kept going. Bam, another pothole I made it past the first round, got up to give my speech and then the next day came and they started playing all the suspenseful music, and my name wasn't one of the eight that was called," Paul said. "Every day after that for the next year I woke up thinking, `I could be a state officer right now. I could be doing something different.' It just ate me up." So, Paul said, though he had a long way to go and a short time to get there, he jumped back in the Ranger and took things up a notch. He got involved in as many Career Development Events as he could and met as many people as he could. And this time, his harder work paid off: Paul was the 2013 to 2014 Georgia FFA president. "I remember the exact moment [I wanted to run for national office]. I was sitting with Bainbridge High School's chapter officer team. We were sitting around having a little bit of facilitated discussion," Paul said. "I had an opportunity to sit there and watch these chapter officers' tears fill their eyes. They wanted to have the best year possible. That's the moment I knew I wanted to serve this organization in the best capacity that I could." Even with a newly embroidered blue corduroy jacket, Paul is "just Andy," Lastly said. "He's not a big guy. He'd probably tell you he's even a nerdy guy. He is just so comfortable in his own skin," he said. "He's very bright, got a ton of personality just so genuine and good with people. Our students loved him. When he speaks to students, he really makes an impression." Paul hopes his journey to national office serves as inspiration to fellow FFA members in achieving their goals. "Through this organization, I've had an opportunity to grow and I hit all those potholes, but those potholes don't define my experience," he said. "What defines my experience is working around those potholes and keeping on going down the road." VISIT WITH A VET: Livestock wellbeing begins on the farm Visit with a Georgia veterinarian in this monthly feature. This edition comes from Dr. Lee Jones of the University of Georgia-Tifton Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory. Producing healthy, low-risk calves begins on the farm. It is important to assess our own farms and make sure we are doing everything we can do to improve the lives of the animals in our care. It is just good stewardship. The question we could ask is, "Am I doing all I can to make sure my cattle are healthy and produce calves that are not high-risk cattle?" On-farm practices that have the most benefit on the health and wellbeing of calves are low-stress weaning, vaccinations, deworming and proper castration and dehorning. There is a lot of information about the benefits of low-stress weaning. Some people just remove their calves from their mama cows and take them to the sale barn. Many of these calves sit at the barn for a day or two before being sold and taken to a gathering facility. Commingling abruptly weaned calves is one of the most significant causes of stress and disease in young calves. Anybody who has taken their young children to a new kindergarten class knows that something is going to be passed around pretty quickly. Since many of these calves are not vaccinated against respiratory diseases they are easily infected and often get sick within seven to 10 days of being exposed. Some producers practice fence-line weaning or a two-step weaning process. Fence-line weaning allows the calf to be close to its mama, but keeps it from nursing. The calves fuss some, but not nearly as much as with a complete, abrupt separation. Because the calves are calmer, they also eat better, don't get hoarse from bawling and don't lose as much weight during weaning. Two-step weaning uses nose paddles clipped into the nose that keep the calf from nursing, but allow it to still graze next to mom or eat creep feed. These weaning methods have been proven to reduce stress in calves and improve calf health. Vaccination to enhance the immunity and resistance to common diseases is a good management practice. Vaccines stimulate the immune system by mimicking natural infection. The type of vaccine, selection of antigens and timing of administration are important. Typical calf vaccination programs include the respiratory viruses that cause pneumonia. It is important to follow the label instructions when vaccinating calves with a modified live vaccine, or MLV. MLVs are not recommended for calves nursing pregnant cows that have not been vaccinated with a MLV vaccine. Clostridial organisms also cause diseases in cattle, such as tetanus, blackleg and intestinal disease. Ideally, calves should receive a combination seven-way clostridial toxoid vaccine by 2 to 3 months of age with a booster three to four weeks later. Bulls castrated by banding should also be vaccinated with tetanus toxoid two weeks before banding. Internal parasites can cause significant health problems and production losses in cattle. Often, production losses caused by parasites are subtle, but severe infestations cause disease and even death in any age of cattle. Subtle infestations can reduce the animal's immunity and resistance to infections. There have been reports of cattle intestinal parasites that are resistant to our generic pour-on wormers due to their overuse. Overgrazing increases the likelihood calves will get infected by parasite larvae on pasture. Rotational grazing helps break the lifecycle of internal parasites and reduces the need for regular deworming and the negative environmental effects of some products. Preferably, castration and dehorning should be done by 4 months of age to reduce the effect on the calf. The easiest way to dehorn calves is by using polled bulls. Age of calf, available facilities, time of year and experience of person performing the procedure may determine the method selected. Some producers believe later castration will aid in weight gain, but delayed castration has been proven to increase pain, stress, bleeding, reduce feed intake and increase risk of disease after the procedure. These practices and good nutrition can get our calves off to a healthy start. We have the power to make a positive difference in the lives of our cattle with very little effort and expense.
