VISIT WITH A VET: Monitoring for Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus to begin next month

Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus is highly contagious in swine. It has not yet been found in Georgia, but producers are encouraged to take biosecurity and other measures to prevent PEDv from making its way to their farms. File photo
Visit with a Georgia veterinarian in this monthly feature. This edition comes from State Veterinarian Dr. Robert Cobb in Atlanta, Ga., and follows up on a previous Visit with a Vet story on Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus from the Oct. 30, 2013, issue.
The US Department of Agriculture recently announced it will be instituting a monitoring and control program to prevent

the spread of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus, a viral disease of swine associated with fever, severe diarrhea and vomiting. Right now, PEDv is considered a production disease, and is not regulated by the World Health Organization, known as OIE, or the Department. However, USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service will issue a federal order in May that requires mandatory reporting of all herds diagnosed with PEDv. Herds will be required to identify themselves and provide location information. In addition, animal health laboratories that receive diagnostic samples will be required to provide positive tests and location information to USDA.
The disease is highly contagious and is caused by a coronavirus. PEDv mimics a common pig disease called transmissible gastroenteritis, or TGE, which is also a coronavirus. Only lab tests can tell the difference between the two. PEDv is not a zoonotic disease, meaning it does not affect people. It does not affect other domestic species and is not a food safety concern.
The disease is most severe in young piglets, but can affect pigs of any age. The disease can cause death and loss of production. Introduction of PEDv into a swine herd with no previous exposure to the virus typically results in acute outbreaks of abortion, severe diarrhea, vomiting, high morbidity often 100 percent and variable mortality, as high as 100 percent in pigs younger than 3 weeks of age. The incubation period is short, three to four days, and natural immunity develops. Pregnant sows often abort due to fever; however, older pigs usually recover from the disease within seven to 10 days.
PEDv exists in many parts of the world. The disease is very

common in China, Korea and other Asian countries. In May 2013, the disease was first diagnosed and confirmed in the US, in Iowa. It is unknown how the virus entered the US. There is some concern that feed products, such as porcine plasma products sprayed on pellets in certain rations, was responsible for introduction or spread of the disease. PEDv is not a listed disease of the World Organization for Animal Health, or OIE; is not considered a foreign animal disease in the US; and there are no international or interstate trade restrictions pertaining to PEDv in US swine.
The disease has spread to 28 states and to Canada, causing millions of dollars of damage due to losses from abortions, mortality and poor feed conversion. The number of confirmed cases is more than 5,500. In the Southeast, only Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana and Arkansas have not had a reported case of PEDv.
There is no specific treatment or commercially available vaccine for the disease. Supportive therapy is useful in the treatment of older animals, and sows that have recovered from the disease pass immunity to their offspring. Recovered animals can shed the virus for up to a month after recovery.
PEDv can be spread in several ways. The fecal-oral route involves healthy animals ingesting the fecal matter of infected pigs. Fomites, which are inanimate objects such as trailers, chutes, buckets and waterers, clothing, boots and contaminated feed have all been shown to spread the virus as well. The virus is hardy and can survive for long periods of time, especially in

Agricultural documentary takes Georgia farm to the silver screen
By Dallas Duncan

Georgia agriculturalists are raving about the new agricultural documentary Farmland, which hits theaters this week.
"All in all, I thought it was a balanced presentation," Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture Gary W. Black said. "I think it accurately tells the story that our policies shouldn't be either-or, our policies should accommodate all types of agriculture."
The documentary follows six young producers, including Georgia's own Leighton Cooley, on the day-to-day operations of their farms. Cooley's Roberta, Ga., poultry houses were the highlight of his portion of the film, but other operations showcased row crops, vegetable crops, swine and cattle.
"The film is so genuine, I think is what's so captivating about it," Cooley said. "We're certainly not actors, we're farmers; we certainly didn't have a script."
Actors they are not, but that didn't stop the paparazzi at the nationwide premiere April 17 at the Tribeca Film Festival.
"It was pretty cool in New York," Cooley said. "We had a really

GEORGIA GROWN PROFILE: Georgia Pest Control Association
Members do far more than killing bugs

By Erica Lummus, spring intern
"Killing bugs, inspecting for bad things under houses, working with chemicals; sometimes it's all that folks think about when they hear about the members of the Georgia Pest Control Association," said Executive Director Valera Jessee.
Aside from the obvious, GPCA also deals with food safety, protecting the structural integrity of a structure and ensuring the health and wellbeing of Georgia's citizens.
GPCA was established in 1950 and has been around for 64 years. Because GPCA works with pesticides and remedies for infestations, each of its members is licensed, regulated and educated. The company not only educates its own members, but also the general public about the industry and how important its services are to the health and wellbeing of the community.

The association has 1,000 members that attend training about the biology, identification and management of every possible home-invading critter.
"From lady bugs, who by the way are just a big nuisance, to bed bugs, who are a serious problem, there are products, methods and solutions that will protect your home, health and food," Jessee said.
The University of Georgia established one of the largest urban entomology departments in the nation with the help of GPCA. The association has three committed researchers and professors who are well-respected as leaders in urban pest management. "So, next time you wonder if your house will get termites like-
ly it will or if you can get rid of those persistent ants yourself very challenging think about calling in a professional. We do good work, we give guarantees and we offer peace of mind," Jessee said.

GUEST COLUMN: Ignite 86th Georgia FFA Convention

35,500: the number of Georgia

FFA members.

285: the amount of FFA chapters

in Georgia.

6: Six different areas compose

Georgia FFA.

1: One blue jacket, one state

convention, one Georgia FFA.

For 86 years, Georgia FFA

members from all across this state

PAUL

come together once a year to attend

the state convention. This year is no

different. On May 1 through 3, blue and gold jackets will

flood the great city of Macon, Ga., in preparation for the

86th Annual Georgia FFA Convention.

As a high school student, attending the state FFA

convention was easily one of my favorite times of the

year. My excitement would build for the entire year

and then culminate when I had the chance to walk

through the Macon Centreplex doors. I can definitely

say that after serving as a state FFA officer this past

year, my excitement for this year's convention is off

the charts. It is amazing how much is accomplished

during the three short days in Macon. The theme for

this year's convention is "ignite." No other word can

quite as accurately describe what will happen at the FFA

Convention.

Students will ignite their passion. We will recognize

members for their outstanding work in their supervised

agricultural experience programs by presenting

proficiency awards and naming four members the

2014 State Stars of Georgia in agriscience, agricultural

placement, agribusiness, and the State Star Farmer. FFA

members will showcase their years of hard work as we

congratulate state career development event winners

and agriscience fair researchers. This passion will not

fizzle out, but rather flame up into future careers and

opportunities. Members will ignite a difference. More than 400 FFA
members will participate in a day of service, benefiting neighborhoods in Macon. A difference will be made in the lives of students after hearing the encouraging words of Gov. Nathan Deal, keynote speaker Josh Shipp and National FFA Secretary Mitch Baker. No matter what students carry on their shoulders into the Centreplex, the message brought from these speakers, along with many others, is sure to put smiles on their faces and determination in their hearts.
Blue Jackets will ignite relationships. The state FFA convention is one of the few times that members get to see people from the opposite ends of the state. Friendships and memories will be made, and the convention will culminate with the ultimate team relationship with the election of the 2014 to 2015 State FFA Officer Team. Convention is a place to not only meet and greet, but to love and to learn.
The 86th Georgia FFA Convention is sure to be one for the record books, with more than 5,000 members, advisers and guests expected to attend. Every year, students arrive at the convention with wide eyes and excited minds, and leave the convention with a desire to make a change in their hearts. This year will be no different. As Georgia FFA members, we plan to ignite FFA and agricultural awareness all across the great nation, for the fires that emit the most heat, the fires that provide the most light, always burn blue.

GUEST COLUMN: Plant Protection section aims to keep

invasive pests out of Georgia

Have no fear, Plant Protec-

tion is here. As we thaw out from

record-breaking temperatures and

newsworthy traffic jams, spring is

finally upon us. With the blossom-

ing of dormant plants and shaking

off the dust from a long winter, it

is time to be back outside enjoy-

ing warm weather, family vaca-

tions and pretty landscapes. These

WALDEN

landscapes are a bountiful buffet for

both native and invasive insects that

you might accidentally bring home from a weekend at

Grandma's.

Georgia is no stranger to invasive pests, as experi-

enced with imported fire ants, the hemlock woolly adel-

gid and kudzu bug. Recently, field inspectors with the

Department's Plant Protection section distributed various

types of traps designed to monitor for and catch invasive

insects that could be detrimental to home landscapes and

agricultural production across the state.

This annual trapping is one of our strongest tools for

insect and pest detection. Through cooperative agree-

ments with the US Department of Agriculture, the Farm

Bill and other resources, field inspectors will place traps

in nursery settings, retail outlets, row crop operations

and roadside tree lines to monitor for more than a dozen

different insects of concern.

As a consumer, it is important to remember to please

leave these traps alone as they are a vital part of protect-

ing this state's largest industry. With the introduction of

new insects on a regular basis as was experienced last

summer with the emerald ash borer we cannot afford

to be nave about these efforts. The trap used specifi-

cally for EAB is a large purple prism hanging on one

end with sticky sides, paired with a pheromone lure and set in an area around ash trees. This also happens to be the general design of most of the traps we use, with the exception of a white bucket.
Targeted insects are mostly moths or beetles, but some can be dual threats and vectors of various diseases. These insects feed on anything from hibiscus and peppers to peaches and cotton. Some that simply stop off on a plant for a quick meal can cause damage that could introduce other pathogens, further harming the plant.
Some of the insects are in the US and, thanks to USDA quarantines, have not been able to spread too far from their initial discovery. The biggest movement of insects is hitching: insects have been known to latch onto vehicles or luggage, as seen with introduction of the kudzu bug. Specifically the movement of firewood is a major means of insect relocation, and was most likely the cause of the EAB introduction to the metro Atlanta area. If you find yourself camping this year, please buy firewood when you arrive at your destination and either burn it all or leave it behind.
Simple steps like these can help to ensure a strong ecosystem is maintained, your home and the agricultural products of Georgia are protected from invasive insects or other pests. The goal for these surveys is negative data (not finding the targeted insect). Hundreds of samples were collected last year and all came back negative and hopefully that will be the case this year.

Department. Originally from Stockbridge, Ga., Walden

Letter from the editor
Earlier this month, I had the privilege of attending the Atlanta early screening of Farmland. If you have the chance to see it in Macon or Atlanta this week, do it. Check out the Bulletin Calendar for film dates and theater locations. If you don't have the ability to get to one of those theaters, rent it on DVD or pay-per-view when it comes out.
Hopefully since you're on page six of the Market Bulletin, you've read the story about the documentary that's on page one. But in case you haven't, the quick synopsis of Farmland is that it's a film that follows six young American farmers including one from Georgia! telling their agriculture stories straight from their mouths. By no means am I a film critic, but I hope y'all will humor me for a few moments and let me share a few thoughts on the piece.
Its visuals are stunning. There are detail shots, there are landscapes, close-ups, even a few animated graphics.
Not only is it pretty to look at, it's pretty accurate in its subject matter. Instead of presenting a purely pastoral view of a farmer in overalls walking through a field (like many in Hollywood are wont to do), Farmland presents daily life on actual modern farms. There are hardships it's difficult to harvest when there aren't any crops sprouting up. There is technology tractors equipped with GPS systems and computer software are key components to several of the featured farms. There are families, be it a multigenerational family farm or a first-generation farm supported by family in the city. There's an appreciation of tradition: one producer chooses to eschew some of the technology and drives around machinery from decades of old.
One thing I found most fascinating was the type of farms selected. Cattle, poultry and swine are all represented, as well as row crops and produce. But what stood out to me most is the representation of two organic producers.
In my experience, many consumers equate the word "organic" as synonymous with local, natural and small when describing an agricultural operation. However, the agricultural community knows this is not necessarily the case. One producer in Farmland is indeed a small-scale organic producer with, if I remember correctly, fewer than 200 acres on which vegetables are grown. The other organic producer, whose operation is also produce-based, has a larger-scale operation with multiple employees and hundreds of thousands of acres. I think that is going to be a light bulb moment for the general public.
Farmland also challenges the perspective of agriculture by demonstrating that farming is hard. I know from observation and writing about farming that it's one of the most difficult and unpredictable professions but a lot of people don't. You say "farmland" and folks picture pretty fields of grain or corn, or cattle munching on grass behind a white picket fence. The documentary challenges this perception by showcasing that fields of grain don't just pop up overnight. They have to be planted. And when it doesn't rain or when it rains too much someone's got to go in the field and painstakingly check every row to see if the seeds are salvageable. Those fresh carrots you bought at the farmers market weren't picked from the ground by glittering fairies: a woman was on her hands and knees, smudging her face with mud as she wiped the sweat from her brow, pulling up bunches of carrots, row by row, to have enough to sell and distribute to customers who pre-paid.
Reading this, if you're not a farmer, you might think that there's a lot of dust and dirt and toil involved in farming. You might think that people must be crazy to want to grow plants or animals for a living when the industry they want to work for isn't always pretty.
No, farming as a whole is not always pretty. But the fact that there are individuals who shove that thought to the side and take on the challenges of the incredibly laudable mission of providing food for the world is more than pretty.
It's beautiful.

VET: Biosecurity best way to keep virus off Georgia farms

From Page 1

cold, damp weather. A strict biosecurity program is the only way to pre-
vent introduction of the virus. Thorough cleaning and disinfecting of trailers and equipment is essential to keeping the virus out. Be diligent about personnel and visitors, but also consider supplies, feed ingredients, food items, etc. that might be of international origin. To check the origin of a product or ingredients, contact the supplier and request that information. The creation of a "clean crossing line" will help to prevent contaminated personnel or products from entering the farm.
Additional biosecurity recommendations include thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting anything coming onto the farm; enforcing downtime requirements and maintaining a log of visitors; properly disposing of dead livestock; isolating new animals; continue vet-to-vet dis-

cussion about animal health at the herd of origin; and showering into the facility and changing into clean boots and overalls. Veterinarians should also be careful not to transport the virus between herds on their person, equipment or vehicles.
All hog farmers are encouraged to monitor the Department website for news and updates on PEDv.

ARTY'S GARDEN:

Fringe tree deserves to be in the mainstream

It's sometimes hard to agree on how to describe Chionanthus virginicus. It goes by several common names including fringe tree, old man's beard and grancy graybeard. The latter is a corruption of "grand sir graybeard" because the frilly flowers look like the beard of a distinguished old gentleman (think Santa Claus or Col. Sanders).
Despite the "fringe tree" label, it is sometimes more of a large shrub than a tree. And the flowers don't look like typical flowers. They do look like fringe or a beard, or white Spanish moss, confetti, fleece, fluffs of cotton and cotton candy.
Though some British garden writers consider the fringe tree one of the most beautiful of American plants, Elizabeth Lawrence, the renowned American garden writer, was less impressed. She wrote that the flowers reminded her of slaw. Well, the petals are narrow with a shredded appearance and do start out green before turning white, but I think I'll have to disagree with Lawrence on this.
To me, when the fringe tree is in bloom it looks like it has reached into the sky and captured a cloud in its branches. I saw a spectacular specimen on a rainy afternoon several years ago. It was as if a bank of fog had rolled in and was caught in the tree. Carlos Linnaeus, the Swedish botanist and

taxonomist, also had weather in mind when he affixed the genus name: Chionanthus means "snow flower."
There is a Chinese fringe tree (Chionanthus retusus) that is generally more treelike with slightly larger flowers that open later in the spring. It is a fine tree, but in my eyes does not measure up to our native fringe tree. Ours looks distinctly different from other flowering trees and has an air of mystery the Chinese species lacks.
Our native fringe tree is a good choice if you are looking for something other than the more common flowering cherries or crabapples. Adults appreciate its unique beauty and gentle fragrance. Children also think the flowers are pretty and enjoy using them to make pretend beards. It tolerates a wide range of conditions and is easy to grow. Like so many of our native plants, grancy graybeard/fringe tree/old man's beard, whatever you call it, should be more widely planted.

PUBLIC NOTICE: Marketing Order for Pecans

The recent referendum, which ended March 30, resulted in the required number of producers voting in favor of approving the major amendment to the Marketing Order for Pecans. The major amendment reads:
472-1-.09 Method of Finance, Amended
Projects, undertakings and expense incurred under this Order shall be financed by an assessment and levy of not more than one cent per pound on in-shell pecans produced in this state for sale. The assessment and levy shall be against the affected producers of pecans. Upon approval of this requisite number of affected producers and effective as of Aug. 1, 2014, a levy assessment of one cent per pound on in-shell pecans is hereby made. Such levy shall continue of force and effect until this Order is suspended or superseded as provided by law and during the time this order remains of force and effect. Producers are also asked to note

the change in the following: 472-1-.10 Method of Col-
lection The levy and assessment
provided by this Order shall be collected from affected producers. As aid in such collection, buyers, handlers, distributors, sales agents and processors shall deduce amount of such levy and assessment from each payment made to the affected producer and they all remit the same to the Commissioner of Agriculture for the account of the producer. The first handler will collect and remit the one cent per pound assessment on all pecans purchased from affected producers. Therefore, beginning Aug. 1, 2014, all in-shell pecans grown by affected producers in Georgia for sale will be assessed at a rate of one cent per pound. Assessment payments should continue to be sent to the Georgia Agricultural Commodity Commission for Pecans, and be addressed as follows: 19 MLK Jr. Drive SW, Room 324, Atlanta, GA 30334.

Peanut genome project to lead to faster development of new varieties

By Dallas Duncan
Recent breakthroughs in peanut breeding could significantly decrease the time it takes to develop new cultivars.
The International Peanut Genome Initiative, of which University of Georgia's Scott Jackson was chair, completed sequencing the entire peanut genome this spring.
"The state of Georgia produces 40 percent of the US peanuts," Jackson said. "One of the things we wanted to do was accelerate the improvement of peanuts get better faster and finding varieties of peanuts with improved traits and characteristics and yield we can provide to the farmers."
And one of the best ways to do that, he said, is to understand the genetics of the peanut itself.
"The genome sequence gives us a picture of all the genes in the cultivated peanut in one database," Jackson said. "Now the hope is that we can use this information to make more informed decisions on what genes to move into improved varieties and how to deploy those, how to stack genes and get improved yield and improved disease resistance."

The peanut joins a list of other organisms with sequenced genomes, including the chicken, peach, rice, soybean and even human, which is only slightly larger than the peanut genome. The peanut genome initiative was funded through commodity groups, shellers, growers and packers, he said.
Based on genetic studies, breeders can look at which pieces of DNA correlate with a trait. This leads to using the DNA and not a trait to base selection on, said Peggy OziasAkins, horticulture professor at the University of Georgia Tifton campus.
"It's more long-term to actually select based on the trait," she said. "If you've already shown that DNA is associated with resistance to that disease, then you can still make progress in that year selecting lines out of the population that would carry resistance."
Without a sequenced genome, it could take anywhere from 10 to 20 years to determine what genes control certain traits. Jackson hopes that the sequenced peanut genome will cut that time to less than a decade.
"Before, a breeder had to grow the plant for a whole season to see if it contained a particular trait," said Don Koehler, executive di-

rector of Georgia Peanut Commission. "Now after the initial cross takes place ... he can look for specific markers to know if a gene is present or not."
The actual sequencing process is like a complicated jigsaw puzzle, Jackson said.
"We take the DNA from a plant and chop it up into very small fragments and we sequence those fragments using machines ... then we use computer algorithms to try to put it back together in the correct order," he said.
In other words, Jackson said, it's as if that jigsaw puzzle was a picture of blue sky.
The next step uses more computer calculations to determine where the genes are in that puzzle, and tie the genes to a function, such as disease or drought resistance.
"The actual figuring out of what the genes do will take a number of years," Jackson said. "We're already making progress."
Some of the major diseases affecting Georgia peanuts are tomato spotted wilt virus, white mold and leaf spot.
"By finding resistant gene strains in the peanut, the technology will allow for peanut cultivars that will help enhance production on the farm and save the farmer time and money when treating the disease," Koehler said.

Now that the peanut genome has been sequenced, breeders will be able to create resistant cultivars at a faster pace using traditional breeding methods. Photo by Dallas Duncan

FILM: Stars hope audiences gain

good turnout plus a really good response from everybody." The day before the premiere, the stars and filmmaker James
Moll had a call with more than 20 members of the press. "It's fun to be put in exciting positions, I suppose, like in a
movie or being in the shoes of a star for a night or two," Cooley said. "We got to walk the green carpet; everybody wants to take your picture. Everybody does look at you like a celebrity."
In addition to getting the star treatment, the Farmland farmers got to meet the band Everclear and rock star Liz Phair, who performed at the end of the film.
"It's exciting and humbling at the same time, I suppose," Cooley said. "I'm glad I got to come back home and be a farmer again."
He said Moll's focus was to "capture the American farm in its most pure form."
"The film was made by James Moll to really give a voice to the farmers and ranchers who produce food for the US, and provide conversation about how the food is raised," said Gwen Venable, vice president of communications for US Poultry & Egg Association. "The purpose is to really make sure that consumers understand their food supply and the passion that farmers and ranchers have in growing food."
Black said he hopes audiences appreciate the stars of the show. "I hope that they embrace the believability of the characters, because you're talking about something that's totally unscripted," he said. "You hear the passion in their voice. You can see the believability in their eyes." And though the six farmers have diverse backgrounds conventional, small organic and large organic; multi-generational and first-generation the film strives to portray America's myriad styles of family farms. "Sure, we have different thought processes, which is why we farm different things. Sure, we maybe do things differently or have different production methods," Cooley said. "But at the end of the day, we're farmers. We all have the same goal and task at hand."

2014 marks 20th anniversary for Georgia's Certified Crop Advisers program

By Dallas Duncan
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Georgia Certified Crop Advisers.
"A certified crop adviser is really a number of things," said Eric Welsh, program manager of marketing and communications for the national Certified Crop Advisers. "It's someone who can give advice, is well-rounded in our four core areas of nutrient management, integrated pest control, soil and water management. We don't certify our professionals unless they are well-disciplined in every aspect of agriculture, and first and foremost they operate with an owner's mindset."
The national CCA group was established in the early 1990s in response to a need for agronomic expertise and to address environmental concerns in agriculture, Welsh said. Georgia's CCA program started in 1994, and last year Georgia and Alabama merged programs to form the Southeastern CCA Board, Chairman Jake Redmon said. He said Noble Usher Wood of the Phosphate and Potash Institute and Bill Segars with Cooperative Extension were "instrumental" in getting the program up and running.
"Back 20 years ago, the fertilizer and chemical dealers and others were accused of not having any training," Redmon said. "The perception nationwide ... was that a lot of uneducated people are out here making recommendations to the farmers. One of the purposes of the program was to have some way that the adviser salesman can become certified and prove that they're not uneducated."
To become certified, professionals must have two to three years' experience under their belts. They have to pass both a local board exam as well as an international exam. CCAs must sign a code of ethics and obtain continuing education credits in order to maintain a CCA status, Welsh said.
"They're a business partner in terms of crop planning and any kind of land usage planning," Welsh said.

"You're going to get a more complete package with a CCA. You're not just going to have that single focus on pest management or fertilizers."
This means the day-to-day job of a CCA can vary greatly.
"You may get to work in the morning and a farmer calls you and says, `I've got a problem with my wheat. What do I need to put on it?'" Redmon said. "You go out and survey it and determine if it's a disease problem or an insect problem or what, and come back and determine what the best cure is for a problem. In most cases you also sell the product or have access to the product."
And what happens if the CCA's company doesn't sell the right product?
"That's where the integrity part of it comes in," Redmon said. "Hopefully if you go out and there's a problem and you don't have a product to cure it, you don't just throw anything at it."
There are about 13,000 CCAs in North America, including more than 130 in Georgia. Most are associated with retail and wholesale outlets, but some do act as individual consultants, Redmon said.
"Certified crop advisers are an asset to our agricultural community, bringing a level of professionalism and expertise that Georgia farmers have grown to trust," Commissioner of Agriculture Gary W. Black said.
CCAs around the country are already looking to advise the next generation of farmers. Welsh said they hope younger leadership will step up and join the "industry's elite."
To be part of the elite group, CCAs must demonstrate that they stay up-to-date with trends and show they're going to go an extra mile for growers, Welsh said.
"We've done studies where you can make up to at least $25 an acre more profit with a CCA as a resource than without," Welsh said. "It makes you more profitable and it makes you a better steward of the land to work with a CCA."
