BLACK, COMMISSIONER WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19, 2014 VOL. 97, NO. 6 COPYRIGHT 2014 Cowbells to wedding bells: Farms provide venue option to tie the knot Get inspired to throw your own Southern chic wedding or event! Check out our board at www.pinterest.com/gamktbulletin. What was once a storage barn has been transformed into a rustic wedding venue. Katlyn Foulks tied the knot on her mother's farm, Alt Creek Ranch Event Center, in November 2011, and incorporated many Southern chic elements. Photo courtesy EHF Photography By Dallas Duncan Whether they arrive in a Clydesdale-drawn carriage, a vintage Rolls Royce or on horseback, Georgia's farm wedding venues have something to offer for every Southern chic bride. The key elements to a Southern chic wedding? Burlap, lace, Mason jars, hay bales and being outdoors, said Julie Curran, wedding coordinator for Willowick Farm in McDonough, Ga. Willowick is a 70-acre Morgan horse farm-turned-wedding venue. 2014 is the first year it is open for weddings, and Curran said there are events planned in May, June and October. "You wouldn't know you were in the city because it's all surrounded by pasture, woods and farmland," Curran said. Brides can get married on any part of the farm, including in front of a large oak tree, a gazebo or the barn. Though Willowick is new to the outdoor wedding scene, it follows a rich legacy of Georgia's Southern chic venues. Gin Creek in Hartsfield, Ga., was the state's first. After co-owner Richie DeMott's family turned their pond into a 20-acre lake, they decided to clean up the landscape and hold some birthday parties there. Six months later, DeMott thought about adding weddings to Gin Creek's repertoire. "I picked up a Southern Living weddings book. I started looking through it and I had a daughter that was 16 at the time and asked, if she were looking for the perfect wedding, tell me what you like. She told me all the things and she gave me direction," he said. "We try to treat the bride like she is a Southern belle." The first wedding on the premises was held in 2003. The next year there were 19 weddings, then 39, and the number rises each year. The staff dresses to the nines in black tuxedos and white Panama Jack hats to take care of the happy couple's every need. DeMott believes this wedding trend evolved from society's desire to get back to their roots. "As people grew outwardly, they wanted to get back to nature. As everyone pushed buying local, we're getting earthy," he said. "People decided they wanted to enjoy nature, and they started getting married outdoors." For other brides, like Cherry Tolliver's daughter in Bowman, Ga., the Western, country-style atmosphere lends an event to a more relaxed feeling. "She wanted an outside wedding and we decided that with the expense, it would be better to have it here," Tolliver said. The bride's attire will include cowboy boots and the groomsmen will be clad in black jeans, boots and hats. "I bought these big grapevine wreaths and we're going to extend those from the ceiling of the barn, and from those we're going to hang the Mason jars with pre-lit candles. For the table centerpieces ... we decorated some birdcages and we're going to sit those on the table and set potted flowers around them," Tolliver said. Katlyn Foulks, now living in Wake Forest, NC., tied the knot on her mother's Griffin, Ga., farm in November 2011.

Students invited to enter contest to name Georgia Grown foal By Dallas Duncan The newest addition to Georgia's horse herd is a fiberglass foal with a Georgia Grown brand and a Peach State-shaped star on his forehead. The colt will spend the next few months traveling to schools and popular sites around Georgia. He's already visited the Georgia Farm Bureau building in Macon, Ga., the state Capitol and several elementary schools, with many more on the agenda. "The new foal was born right after the first of the year, and he's been weaned off and Commissioner Gary Black has sent him on his way around the state of Georgia so the kids of Georgia can name him," said John Clements, chair of the Agricultural Commodity Commission for Equine. That's right: the foal doesn't have a name yet. "We're going to send him to all four corners of the state to meet the youth of the state," Clements said. "We're going to ask the kids to name him." See FOAL, page 7 John Clements, left, chair of the Agricultural Commodity Commission for Equine, and Jadi Gay of Dodge County FFA, teach students at North Dodge Elementary about Georgia's equine industry and the contest to name the new foal.

Black, Commissioner GEORGIA GROWN PROFILE: Georgia Fruit & Vegetable Growers Association Group promotes networking, industry trends to membership By Erica Lummus, spring intern The Georgia Fruit & Vegetable Growers Association was established to help support Georgia's produce industry and to increase the members that make up its network. By increasing the members who are involved, it will improve and increase the profitability of the industry. "We are an ally for the industry and have a seat at the table with decision makers in both state and federal governments," said Directory of Communications Samantha Tankersley. The services that GFVGA offers are intended to grow productivities, provide educational opportunities to members, promote new markets in the industry and improve communications between GFVGA members and industry suppliers. The association makes it a priority to keep members as educated and fully informed of new information on new industry trends. GFVGA provides services such as food safety consultations, legislative representation and educational workshops. It also coordinates and plans the annual Southeastern Regional Fruit &Vegetable Conference with the Georgia and South Carolina peach councils. Many of the members of GFVGA are also members of Georgia Grown and the association sees it as yet another chance for the state and the industry to work together as a team to support local, home-grown produce. The association is a proud supporter and promoter of the Georgia Grown program and is involved in many educational events and programs throughout the year at which it offers opportunities for Georgia Grown to be advertised. The association is looking forward to continuing working with Georgia Grown to represent the state and hopes to continue educating people about the agriculture industry in Georgia and to help show how vital it is to the state economy's success.

Vernon West Newnan 770-304- Milledgeville 478-451-4735 1637 PUBLIC NOTICE: SPECIALTY CROP BLOCK GRANTS The Georgia Department of Agriculture is pleased to announce the competitive solicitation process to award the 2014 Specialty Crop Block Grant. The SCBGP funds projects that "enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops." Specialty crops are defined as fruits, vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits, horticulture, Christmas trees, turfgrass, sod, nursery and greenhouse crops, including floriculture. The United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service will make grant funding available, with Georgia's share being approximately $1.2 million. Grant amounts will be awarded from $10,000 to approximately $150,000 per project. Grants will be awarded for up to three years. The Department>s intent is to fund projects that can produce the highest degree of measurable benefits to Georgia's specialty crop producers, in relation to each dollar spent. The Department is seeking applications from organizations that seek to enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops in Georgia including: nonprofit organizations and corporations, commodity commissions, associations, state and local government entities and colleges and universities. Applicants must reside or their business or educational affiliation must be in Georgia. USDA-AMS rules state: Grant funds will NOT be awarded for projects that solely benefit a particular commercial product or provide a profit to a single orga- nization, institution, or individual. Single organizations, institutions, and individuals are encouraged to participate as project partners. Grant applications must be received by the Department by Friday, April 18, at 4:30 p.m., via email in Word format. Please refer to the Department's grants webpage for the application, guidelines and additional information. Once all applications are submitted to the Department, each one will be carefully reviewed and evaluated by a Review Committee. Compliance and/or non-compliance of previous sub-grantees fulfilling their annual and final reporting require- ments of their past grant award agreements is an important evaluation criterion. All Department-approved projects will then be combined and written as one grant submission to USDA-AMS. Upon approval from USDA, the Department will notify applicants (sub-grantees) of their status. No awards to any sub-grantee will be made until a final grant award is made to the Department (grantor) by USDA. Final approval is expected in early September 2014, but is subject to change.

PAGE 6 FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN 404-656-3722 WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19, 2014 GUEST COLUMN: Taking home canning to the next level After the recent article "Pickling solves problems of preserving fresh produce" from the Market Bulletin's Feb. 19 issue, we received some questions about re- quirements for taking your home canning or pickling recipe to the next level. In an effort to help answer those questions, we thought we'd share the guidelines with all BADOUR Market Bulletin readers. Anyone in Georgia who wishes to make pickled or canned products to sell either through a farmers market, grocery store or other retail or wholesale outlet must meet specific regulations and become a licensed and registered food processor in the state. Why all the regulations? Acidified and low-acid canned foods are considered "potentially hazardous," and therefore have stringent rules associated with their production. Ex- amples include salsas or pickled vegetables. The primary pathogen most commonly associated with these foods is Clostridium botulinum, which causes botulism, a rare and potentially fatal illness. Foodborne botulism is classified as a "public health emergency" because many people can be poisoned by eating a contaminated food. What are the regulations? The regulations are under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Code of Federal Regu- lations. Title 21 specifically addresses acidified and low-acid canned foods in "LACF and Acidified Regulations," 21 CFR 108, 113 and 114. When a processor plans to manufacture these foods, he must register with the FDA. Registration includes information such as the name of the establishment, primary business loca- tion, locations where processing takes place, processing meth- ods and a list of all foods processed in each establishment. How are products classified and approved? FDA requires that certain forms be filled out covering each indi- vidual acidified or low-acid canned food. The forms cover the style of product, container type and size. In addition, any time a change is made or if the business relocates additional Scheduled Process forms must be filled out. All of these forms are available on the FDA website. Once FDA regulations are met, the product then must be classified and process-approved. The University of Georgia offers this through its Food Science Extension Processing Authority, the contact information of which can be found below. Depending on the product, you might need to attend the Better Processing Control School as well check out the Grocery Manufacturers Association website for course offerings. Are there other options for producing these products? Yes. Georgians who want to take their home canning to the next level but lack some of the necessary resources may want to look into the option of a licensed co-packer. Copacking allows you to contract with a company that will manufacture and pack your products. With established production systems in place, going through them can mean reduced start-up time and costs. UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences offers a list of Georgia co-packing facilities online. Is this similar to the cottage food Industry? No. Georgia does have cottage food regulations in place, which make it feasible for entrepreneurs to produce a variety of products that are considered "low risk," or "non-potentially hazardous" from a food safety standpoint. Stay tuned for a story on Georgia's cottage foods industry in a future issue of the Market Bulletin. Jessica Badour is the recall outreach specialist for the Department's Food Safety Division. Consumers purchasing acidified or low-acid canned foods from farmers markets are encouraged to ask the seller to show his license indicating he is an approved source. If a seller in Georgia does not have a license, please contact the Food Safety Division at 404-656- 3627 to let us know about it. Consumers interested in reaching the UGA processing authority can call 706-542-2574 or visit www.efsonline.uga.edu.

GUEST COLUMN: Georgia's Equine Liability law Georgia has an Equine Liability stat- ute that offers liability protection relating to equines and equine-related activity, but it is not an absolute shield to liability involving equines. Most horse owners are aware of the requirement to post a sign with the warn- ing that, "under Georgia law, an equine activity sponsor or equine professional is not liable for an injury to or a death of CHAPMAN a participant in equine activities result- ing from the inherent risk of equine activities, pursuant to Chapter 12, Title 4 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated." However, most are not aware of the limited protection of the statute. The statute was designed to encourage equine activities and education and would protect most organized activities. In order to understand the statute, one must examine the specific elements of the statute. The elements include: Equine activity sponsor or equine professional Injury or death to a participant In equine activities The horse owner may not be protected from injury or death resulting from an equine-related accident under any other circumstances. In fact, a horse owner that is not an "equine professional" is not protected, unless they are a "sponsor" of an equine activity. In addition, the person who suffers the injury must be a participant in the activity. Below is a partial list of examples where the liability statute may not offer protection. The list is not intended to provide anything more than examples of possible scenarios: A horse escapes from a pasture through a defective or open, fence, gate, trailer, etc. The horse then runs out into traffic and is struck by a vehicle. The injured motorist was not participating in an equine event and the owner would not be protected by the statute. A family member of an equine event participant is bitten, kicked, stepped on while observing the event. The injured person was not participating in an equine event and the owner would not be protected by the statute. A family member of a student taking riding lessons is injured by equipment, a fall or other instrument, while a guest on the property or in the barn. The injured person was not participating in an equine event and the owner would not be protected by the statute. You own horses and you let someone ride one of your horses. The horse bites, kicks, throws or otherwise injures the person. Unless you are an equine professional, you would not be protected by the statute. It is imperative to know and understand the limits of the liability protection offered under Georgia law. A horse owner should have liability insurance that covers their horses and injuries resulting from their horses' actions. In addition, if you have a barn, premises liability insurance is a must, and you need to know and understand exactly what is covered by the policy. Finally, it is very important to keep fences, gates and other structures and equipment in good repair. Wondering how to protect yourself? The Georgia Horse Council's $1,000,000 excess liability insurance policy covers many scenarios the equine liability law does not. Christopher Chapman, attorney at law, is president of Georgia Horse Council. For more information on GHC's li- ability insurance policy, visit www.georgiahorsecouncil.com. If you have specific questions or concerns, contact an attorney with knowledge of and experience with equines and equine law.

In this case, my cup is my calendar, and it runneth over with wedding invitations! Since graduating college in 2011, I've been invited to nine weddings, attended six, and there are invitations for five more hanging on my refrigerator. Last year I was a bridesmaid twice and in roughly 10 days I'll be standing next to one of my best friends as a bridesmaid for a third time. There is a high probability I might be the star of "27 Dresses: Part Two." Mom, when you read this ... don't worry, I am not getting married any time in the foreseeable future! But y'all, I gotta confess, I love weddings. I love the idea of weddings. I love any excuse to get gussied up and put on a pair of heels. I also love any excuse to enjoy time with my favorite people, who are usually the ones getting married. I am one of those people who stays up late on Fridays to watch TLC's wedding show marathon and I wake up early on Sundays to catch a few episodes of "Four Weddings." I've seen the entire episode list of "My Fair Wedding with David Tutera" and I could probably school you pretty quick on how to turn a Monopoly-themed disaster into a classy soiree with uplighting. Yes ... that was an actual episode. One of my favorites (naturally, because what Southernat-heart girl wouldn't have this as a favorite episode) was when Tutera traveled to Texas to take on a bride who wanted a country chic wedding. Though I don't remember the specifics of her original idea, the final product was beautiful. There were Mason jars with lit tealights hanging from trees and scattered around tables; burlap and lace table runners; cowboy boots; the works. Even though I saw that episode long before I was offered this position, the rising trend of country or Southern chic weddings enchanted me. I loved the idea of utilizing a family farm and paying homage to our agrarian roots on what most people consider the most important day of their lives. In fact, this was a story idea I've been turning around in my head for months. Aside from my personal love of weddings, this is a story I wanted to write because for some producers, turning a farm into a wedding venue can be a pretty lucrative parttime business. As I've learned from my super-scientific study of watching wedding shows, a lot of families don't hesitate at spending a lot of money on weddings. Now, this of course does not speak for everyone, but if you think about it, weddings in general can get pretty pricey. Think about it if you throw the word "bridesmaid" in front of a plain, strapless black dress, the cost of that dress rises exponentially. I'm not saying you should rent out your barn for $6,000 per hour just because you can, but brides and grooms and mothers-of-the-happy-couple want a wedding day to be perfect. And for so many brides in the South these days, perfection isn't perfect unless there's a barn in the background, signature drinks in Mason jars and twinkling firefly lights intertwining with Spanish moss in south Georgia trees. There are agricultural wedding venues, including family farms, vineyards and agritourism destinations, around the state. For those with a tight budget, but want to incorporate this trend, even if a farm isn't a "wedding venue," per se, perhaps you can approach the owner about renting it for the event. I've said it before in this column and I'll say it again: the South's pastoral, agrarian roots are coming back in more ways than one. Be it local-made jam as a wedding favor, sporting cowboy boots in the engagement photos or a "trash the dress" photo shoot with the bride riding bareback, even weddings are an opportunity for Georgia's farms to shine. And that, my friends, is agriCULTURE.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19, 2014 FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN 404-656-3722 PAGE 7 ARTY'S GARDEN: Red maples provide an early sign of spring In late winter and early spring, Georgia's landscape begins blushing red maples are in bloom. Although we most often associate colorful fall foliage with maples, it is worth noting that it was the flowers, not the leaves, that gave the red maple (Acer rubrum) its name. The winged seeds are also tinted red until they mature. Perhaps it is because its flowers, although abundant, are small, that the red maple is not honored as a harbinger of spring. True, the flowers are not showy like those of flowering dogwoods or cherries, but they are attractive and one of the first signs of winter coming to an end. The red maple is one of the most common trees, not only in Georgia but in all of eastern North America. Any tree that can be found from deep in Canada to the Everglades is bound to be durable and withstand a wide range of conditions. You can find red maples thriving on dry sites as well as moist ones. In fact, its association with wet areas is why another one of its common names is "swamp maple." Any species so numerous and dispersed over such a large area is bound to exhibit numerous genetic differences. For example, a tree from Florida may not survive a New England winter. Fall foliage may be crimson, scarlet, orange, yellow and combinations of these. Leaf shape is also variable. Flower color can vary from crimson to maroon to rusty red. It is even possible to find a few with yellow flowers. Georgia nurseries and garden centers may carry seed-grown red maples or cultivars selected for specific traits. October Glory and Red Sunset are two readily available cultivars with excellent fall color. One caveat about red maples is their fondness for moisture. If planted near septic lines, the roots may find their way into them. Take time now to look up and appreciate the blushing red maples. They are warming up landscapes across Georgia and preparing us for more glories to come. Arty Schronce is the Department's resident gardening expert. He is a lifelong gardener and a horticulture graduate of North Carolina State University who encourages everyone to discover the pleasures of plants and gardening. FEATURE RECIPE: Broccoli, chicken and rice casserole FOAL: Contest aims to educate about equine industry From Page 1 The foal's name must contain the word Georgia, and the student who submits the winning name will receive prizes that include tickets to the Georgia National Fair in Perry, Ga., this October. The purpose of the colt's visits, aside from getting an official name, is to raise awareness of Georgia's equine industry, Clements said. "One of the best things for kids are horses because it teaches them responsibility, because this animal depends solely on them for its wellbeing," said MAT Thompson, the Department's Equine Health Section manager. "We're working as a team to promote youth interest, No. 1 in the horses and also in supporting the horse industry," Thompson said. "The horse industry is one of the leading agriculture aspects in Georgia. It is important to Georgia's agriculture." Thompson said the Department wants to stress that owning a horse is a commitment of both time and money, and he hopes students will have a greater understanding of that commitment and the animals themselves after hearing the presentations. "Georgia's equine industry has a $342 million dollar impact on our state's economy, and is continuing to grow," Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture Gary W. Black said. "We're looking forward to this opportunity to educate our young people on horses through this unique program provided by the ACC for Equine."

Georgia professor honored by Queen Elizabeth II for honeybee research By Dallas Duncan University of Georgia Entomology Professor Keith Delaplane received a special honor last month at the behest of Queen Elizabeth II herself. Delaplane learned last summer that he was a candidate for induction into the Order of the British Empire. "The nominees had to be personally approved by the Queen. I was sworn to abject secrecy," he said. The induction ceremony was held at the British Embassy in Washington, DC., on Feb. 12. "They really put on the dog. It was really impressive," Delaplane said. "I felt like I was in excellent company." He was among four Americans honored, including a marine who defied protocol and went back to save British comrades under fire in Afghanistan. The Order was created in 1917 to recognize combatants and civilians helping the war effort. It was the first time women were included in an order of chivalry, according to information from Kelly Hysan, communications manager for the British Embassy. Today, it honors those who provided "valuable service" to the British democracy. There are several levels: member, officer, commander, knight or dame commander and knight or dame grand cross. "Mostly it's an honorific. I can add `MBE' after my name," Delaplane said. "I did see that I'm qualified to get married in St. Paul's Cathedral in London." His involvement with the United Kingdom came after meeting a colleague who is a leader in British beekeeping organizations. He brought Delaplane to the UK to give guest lectures, which led to research with the UK's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. "The induction into the Order of the British Empire is sort of a fusion of my education work over there, which has been very well-received, and the research," Delaplane said. "I was a regular repeat invitation to speak to national, regional and local beekeeping organizations. It's just been a cascade of good events." Delaplane has been working across the pond for about a decade, including a two-year sabbatical in York, England. He's most well-known for his work on varroa mites. "'Vampire mites' is actually a very good nickname. I call them bee ticks. The verroa mite is about the size of the head of a pin," he said. Varroa mites suck at honeybees' blood, then reproduce in the bee larvae, which can drastically shorten their lifes- pans. Not to mention, verroa mite vectors are viruses, which Delaplane said could be as bad as the mites. "There's kind of a double whammy going on. They're just hands down the biggest problem in beekeeping today," he said. Much of his latest research centers on how genetics can solve the issue. "[The bee queen] mates with many males, and she can store that sperm for the rest of her life, and therefore her colony is a mixture of different father lines. This, in evolutionary time, is a strategy for the colony to be genetically diverse," Delaplane said. In the wild, honeybee queens mate with about 15 males. But in the lab, he said, the number can be tweaked: queens are inseminated with 15, then 30, then 50 drones. "As we increased that number, the colony got better on every metric that we used. All that is required is mating the queen with a lot of males," Delaplane said. Though back in the States for the time being, Delaplane said he's keeping his eyes open for more collaborative research opportunities, as well as options for entomology students to become involved. "I see no end to this," he said. "It's a special relationship."

"My husband and I wanted our day to not really be about our- Lace, burlap, neutral colors and natural elements are keys to help bring Southern chic weddings together. Photo courtesy Gin Creek selves, we wanted it to be about the Lord God who brought us together," Foulks said. "We thought getting married outside would be a perfect way to be in God's creation." After looking at north Georgia barn venues, she said it finally clicked that they could hold the wedding on the farm. "I was drawn to the lace and burlap; the elegant, romance-y look that it gives to the rustic barn," Foulks said. "Even me and my bridesmaids, we wore cream colors so everything was cream and neutral based. Our flowers were peachy and we did a lot of greenery in the barn, and it just made it look absolutely beautiful." Though no longer a working farm, Foulks' family is hard at work turning Alt Creek into a popular wedding site for Southern chic brides. "My mom's done a lot. She just installed a whole chef's kitchen in there. They can have caterers come there and cook. She installed air conditioning and heating and she's about to install a room to get ready in," Foulks said. When turning a farm into a wedding venue, Tolliver advises producers to look at the initial cost of getting things in shape, especially if it's going to be rented to other people. DeMott advises producers to make sure they have the right insurance to cover farm use as well as good places for the couple and wedding party to get dressed in. Adequate power and restroom facilities are important. Tables, chairs and linens could be purchased and rented out to guests as well, Tolliver said. It's also good to have an alternative plan in the event of inclement weather. "If someone's going to start their own venue, get a game plan, a business plan of how much it's going to cost and how many weddings you're going to have to have to pay for it," Tolliver said. Georgia Grown program to partner with subscription box service By Dallas Duncan Members of Georgia Crafted will be getting a surprise next month: a box of Georgia Grown products delivered to their doorsteps. "I thought this would be a win-win for both of us. [Georgia Crafted is] promoting Georgia artisans and we need a Georgia Grown box to promote our members and give them a different avenue to advertise their products," said Kelli Williams, northern marketing coordinator for the Department. Georgia Crafted is a subscription box service that features non-perishable foods, bath and body products, music, stationary and other items created by Georgians. The FIND GEORGIA'S BEST LOCALLY GROWN FOODS Online at georgiagrown.com company offers three different subscription options: a one-time box, three-month membership and six-month membership. To get the Georgia Grown box in April, owner and founder Erin Zwigart said consumers should subscribe by March 31. "This is the best box we've ever had. I don't know if we're ever going to top this one. I'm so, so excited," Zwigart said. "We got a tremendous response. I'm in Atlanta, and it's very easy to focus on who's in Atlanta, but to branch out is kind of challenging. This has really opened the door to be able to feature all of Georgia." The boxes ship to between 150 and 250 subscribers across the US, she said. "Each month we're shipping out boxes to our subscribers that contain four to five fullsize products made by Georgia artisans," Zwigart said. The Georgia Grown box will be the first Georgia Crafted box to feature six products, highlighting members Stripling's General Store, Week's Honey Farm, Verdant Kitchen, Jaemor Farms, FreshTape and Maga and Pop's. "I love subscription boxes. I thought it was a great idea to have a subscription box for Georgia products and to have one that features Georgia Grown products," said Chandler Case, marketing coordinator for Verdant Kitchen. "I thought it was a really good opportunity for us." Verdant Kitchen specializes in USDA Organic ginger and subtropical spices, grown and processed in Savannah, Ga., said Ross Harding, company co-founder and chief executive officer. The produce is turned into syrups, beverages, candies and more. "We think anything that we can do to promote our products in association with Georgia Grown is just good business sense for us. I think if we can build that strong relationship and we can get more people accessing Georgia Grown products, we think that's a good thing for all of us involved," Harding said. For Ashley Goss, being part of the box is a way to share her family's agricultural history. Goss, marketing manager for Stripling's General Store, is the third generation in the business, which began with a grocery store in downtown Warwick, Ga. The grocery store transitioned into an on-farm meat market called Sausage Kitchen. In the 1990s, the former Sausage Kitchen moved to Moultrie, Ga., and became Stripling's. "We're known for our sausage and our beef jerky," Goss said. "Those have been the backbones of our business." She said the box is a great partnership for the two programs. "Georgia Grown and Georgia Crafted kind of go hand-in-hand," Goss said. "They really kind of speak for the same purpose, so it makes them stronger to partner together." And, she said, it's a great option for those who move out of state: it gives them a way to get a taste of home. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19, 2014 VISIT WITH A VET: Heat safety tips for pets Visit with a Georgia veterinarian in this monthly feature. This edition comes from Dr. Cheryl Coplon, a veterinarian with North Springs Animal Clinic in Atlanta, Ga., and in- cludes contributing information from Drs. Jay and Andrew Empel. As spring rolls around the corner this month, the classic Georgia heat and humidity are sure to soon follow. The safety of pets is important to keep in mind in these conditions. Whether at the beach or at a park, make sure dogs have access to shade and water at all times, allowing them to stay out of the sun's harsh rays. Dogs and cats can get sunburned, just like humans. However, doghouses are not recommended as shelter on hot days, as they can trap heat. A good way for pets to cool off is to fill a child's wading pool with fresh hose water for them to have access to. In addition, avoid sea water when at the beach it can cause severe dehydration and salt toxicity. It is also recommended to avoid strenuous exercise on hot days. Walk your pets in the early mornings or evenings when the sun's heat is less intense. This will also prevent prolonged exposure to hot asphalt or sand, which can burn paw pads. Make sure your pets' vaccinations are up-todate the warmer weather means they'll want to enjoy being outside more, and tend to come into contact with other animals more often. Spring also means that it's time to landscape, so keep pets off lawns that have been chemically treated or fertilized for 24 hours, and away from potentially toxic plants and flowers as well. Pests such as fleas, ticks and mosquitoes, which carry heartworm disease, are prevalent during warmer weather as well. Ask your veterinarian for an effective preventative to keep those parasites at bay. Dogs that are brachycephalic, or short-faced, such as bulldogs, boxers, Japanese chins and Pekingese, have an especially hard time in the heat because they do not pant as efficiently as longerfaced dogs. These pets should remain indoors with air conditioning when it's hot outside. Never leave pets in closed vehicles on warm or hot days. The temperatures inside vehicles can rise to more than 100 degrees in a matter of minutes, and heatstroke and death can occur quickly. Heatstroke can be a serious and often fatal result of an animal's prolonged exposure to excessive heat. Signs of heatstroke in dogs include excessive panting or difficulty breathing, increased heart and respiratory rates, drooling, mild weakness, stupor or even collapsing. If your pet experiences these symptoms, immediately head toward shade, grab cold water and apply cool, wet towels to the animal to cool her off. If she begins to show white or blue gums, labored or noisy breathing, increased lethargy, uncontrollable urination or defecation, call your veterinarian. For more information on the dangers of heat- stroke and other heat-related issues to pets, con- tact your local veterinarian. WWW.AGR.GEORGIA.GOV FIND GEORGIA AGRICULTURE ONLINE!
