The Problem with Pigweed

By Mary Catherine Cromley
Monster. Nightmare. "Superweed". Pigweed. Palmer amaranth. All of these words have become synonymous to researchers, scientists, and farmers across the country over the past decade. One person who has become all too familiar with this nuisance is University of Georgia Weed Scientist Dr. Stanley Culpepper. Dr. Culpepper confirmed the first case of Roundup resistant pigweed in the world on a farm in Macon County in 2004. Since this discovery, much of his time and research has been focused on developing programs to help farmers combat pigweed.
"The programs to control pigweed are much more challenging [than other weeds] and farmers have to definitely be much more aggressive. This is in part due to the management tools that we have available," Culpepper said.
Palmer amaranth is indeed a very aggressive, invasive species that can grow over two inches per day and produce over one million seeds per plant. Its rapid growth rate, high seed count, and resistance to herbicides have left producers and researchers alike desperate for a solution. Native to northern Mexico and the southwestern United States, Palmer amaranth is now a common sight across Georgia and the southeast. Among other factors, poorly managed practices regarding weed resistance contributed to the emergence of herbicide resistant pigweed in Georgia.

Although present in other crops, such as corn, soybeans, and peanuts, pigweed has been more difficult to control in cotton. Pigweed contends with the king of the south during growth, and if not treated, also becomes a serious problem at harvest time. For example, pigweed competes for nutrients and root space with cotton during production resulting in significantly lower yields, and in extreme cases can cause farmers to abandon parts of or entire fields. During harvest, pigweed that was left in the field can become excess trash if it gets into the cotton bale, resulting in a lower quality grade. In Georgia alone, cotton farmers have lost over $1 billion fighting pigweed over the past 10 years.
"Pigweed has been one of the biggest things to hit farmers since the boll weevil," said Tyson Joiner, a farmer with Sikes Farms in Bulloch County, Ga. "With new technologies and good residual programs, we have finally been able to get a good hold on controlling pigweed," Joiner said.
Great strides have been made in the last decade in educating producers about pigweed and what they can do to control it, but there is still a long way to go. One of the most recent advances is the USDA's deregulation of the dicamba tolerant trait in cotton and soybeans. Unfortunately for producers, the dicamba herbicide itself will likely not be approved by the EPA in time for use during the 2015 growing sea-

Tracking Pests at the Port
By Mike Evans

Recently, GDA Plant Industry Division staff attended a pest risk workshop at the Port of Savannah. The cooperative training involved several agencies and representatives including U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), USDA, Georgia Port Authority (GPA), US EPA, UGA, exporters and pest management experts.

What do fire ants, Japanese beetles, and the chestnut blight disease have in common? They are all invasive pests that have become established in the U.S. According to researchers, the impact on the U.S. economy from invasive plants, insects, and disease is almost $120 billion per year. Not only can invasive pests damage crops, kill trees, and increase production costs - they can also lead to U.S. producers losing markets in other states or countries over concern for these pests.
The first lines of defense for protecting U.S. agriculture from foreign pests are the ports. Here, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) personnel look for foreign pests in luggage, food items, and shipping containers. In a typical day a total of 425 pests are found at all U.S. ports of entry, in addition to discovering 4,447 plants, meat items, animal byproducts, and soil that are prohibited from entering the U.S.
The main ports in Georgia are Hartsfield-Jackson Inter-

FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN 404-656-3722
Decoding Product Label Claims

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2015

By Dallas Duncan
Editor's Note: This is the second in a two-
part series of consumer shopping tips.
Manufactured food products are no stranger to food and health trends. But when it comes to designing food labels that promote these trends, there's a sea of guidelines to navigate.
Take the Certified Organic seal, for example. The use of the seal is regulated by the US Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service, which houses the National Organic Program.
"For processing, to get the organic label category, all the agricultural ingredients must be Certified Organic," said Miles McEvoy, deputy administrator of the National Organic Program. "There is an allowance for some non-agricultural ingredients. For instance, dairy cultures if it's a yogurt or cheese, or bread, leavening agents can be used for baked items; pectin for preservatives."
In addition, a product can still have the Certified Organic label if an organic ingredient is not available.
Organic products can be labeled 100 percent organic, which can use the certified seal.
"They're usually very simple products like apple juice, for instance 100 percent organic apples and any of the pressing aids would have to be 100 percent organic," McEvoy said.
There's also a category called "made with organic."
"This is for a multi-ingredient product that has at least 70 percent organic ingredients. Then the non-organic ingredients cannot be

[genetically modified], irradiated or produced with sewage sludge," McEvoy said.
An example of this label would be soup containing organic carrots. The main display panel can have the product name, and underneath in a smaller size font, the claim "made with organic carrots." This category cannot use the Certified Organic seal, McEvoy said.
Whether it's organic or not, there are some things required on all product labels, said Patricia Batten, a Manufactured Food Program associate for the Department.
The Department does not approve labels, but it does look for the five things the US Food and Drug Administration requires on a label: the common name of the product, a net weight statement including metric measurements, ingredients listed in order of predominance by weight, the company's name and address and nutritional facts.
Other label claims are optional, but must meet FDA guidelines, FDA Spokesperson Siobhan DeLancey said.
"At its very most basic, the food label must be truthful and not misleading," DeLancey said. "The FDA has taken action in the past against companies that made claims that

couldn't be validated." These include statements about nutrition
and health. "Claims like `fat-free' and `low-sodium,'
along with claims of `reduced' or less,' are considered nutrient content claims, and there are very specific definitions of these claims," DeLancey said.
For example, low-sodium products must have 140 milligrams or less sodium per service size, and reduced sodium products have to contain at least 25 percent less sodium per serving than the product that claim is based on. Health claims must be approved by the FDA before they can be used. These include reducing disease risk, such as the association between calcium and the risk of osteoporosis, DeLancey said. "It's also important to note that food labels can't claim that their
products will diagnose, treat, cure or mitigate disease," she said. "These claims are limited to approved drugs."
Batten said food producers should be able to provide evidence that their product does what it says on the label, in case consumers or other entities raise questions.
"A lot of times when you see sugar-free or

low-sodium and stuff like that, you really need to have a nutritional fact paneling to prove that it [meets those claims]," Batten said. "The only way you can really prove that it is, you have to get a nutritional analysis done."
The University of Georgia offers this service for free to producers, she said.
To ensure customers who want organic products are getting what they pay for, McEvoy said to first check for the Certified Organic seal, then to look for the accredited certifier name on the package.
"It's required to say who the certifier is," he said. "If there is not that statement, [the customer] should file a statement with us and we'll take appropriate action."
The only exception to having an accredited certifier named on the label is for organic farms that sell less than $5,000 a year.
Operations are inspected to ensure they're producing food meeting all the requirements of their organic label claims, McEvoy said. If a facility is found to be using a prohibited ingredient or not producing to organic standards, the facility must undergo corrective actions. For more serious violations, the facility could be suspended, its organic certification revoked or even civil penalties applied.
Bottom line, Batten said, if it goes on the label, a company needs to back it up with documentation.
If a company is found to be falsely advertising claims, the FDA will issue warning letters and require the company to provide a plan to fix the problem within three weeks, DeLancey said.

Farmers can nominate their school districts

to receive grants of up to $25,000

Science, technology, engineering and math education continues to be a priority for U.S. school districts. Investing now is vitally important, as the fastest-growing occupations require proficiencies in these subjects. However, securing financial support to expand curricula and provide hands-on learning opportunities can be challenging, especially in rural areas. Public school districts in rural communities can help prepare their students for future academic and career success by applying for $2.3 million in math or science grants from America's Farmers Grow Rural Education, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund.
It all starts with the farmers in those communities. Between now and April 1, 2015, farmers can nominate a public school district in their community to apply for a $10,000 or $25,000 grant. Nominated school districts can then submit grant applications, through April 15, 2015, to compete for the funds to enhance their math or science programs.
"Grow Rural Education is our way to partner with farmers across rural America to provide top-quality education to students in their local communities," said Michelle Insco, Monsanto Fund program officer. "Helping students acquire proficiency in math and science will assist in creating the next generation of problem solvers."
America's Farmers Grow Rural Education launched nationally in 2012 after a successful pilot. Since that time, it has awarded over $7 million to more than 500 school

districts, leading to innovations and improvements in math and science education across rural America. Georgia school districts have received $60,000 in grants from the program over the past three years.
School districts that apply for a $10,000 grant compete against other school districts in the same USDA-appointed Crop Reporting District. School districts that apply for
a $25,000 grant compete against schools that are located in the same state or designated region. All applications will be evaluated based on merit, need and community support. The America's Farmers Grow Rural Education Advisory Council, a group of farmer leaders from across the country, will select the winning grant applications that will be announced in August.
America's Farmers Grow Rural Education is part of the America's Farmers initiative. Since 2010, the America's Farmers campaign and programs have advocated on behalf of farmers and their efforts to meet society's needs through agriculture. Today, consumers are more interested than ever in agriculture and how food is grown. Consider joining the conversation and helping to raise awareness about agriculture.

Georgia is Growing Access to Farm
Stands and Farmers Markets
As spring marches closer, farmers markets across Georgia are ramping up or reopening for the season. In addition to year-round staples like eggs, honey, jelly and barbeque sauce, the stars of the season-- strawberries, blueberries, peaches, and Vidalia onions-- are beginning to make their debuts. In a few months' time, the markets will be in full swing, bursting with berries and zucchini and other summer fruits and vegetables. During this time, the Georgia Department of Agriculture is working hard to ensure that all Georgians have access to this healthful, local bounty.
Remarkable progress has been made in providing better access to Georgia's 450+ farmers markets and farm stands. Consumers can easily find farmers markets near them by using the Georgia Grown Locator at www.GeorgiaGrown.com.
Furthermore, The Georgia Department of Agriculture and the USDA are working together to increase SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) recipients' access to farmers fresh products and farmers markets. More than 150 markets and direct marketing farmers now redeem SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits. Total Georgia SNAP redemptions at farmers markets in 2013 were over $3.8 million.
Georgia farmers that sell directly to consumers have a number of options to help them accept SNAP benefits. These options include free wireless devices, printers, free EBT payment processing accounts and affordable transaction fees for credit and debit. Grants for free wireless Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) equipment help create a win-win-win situation for farmers, customers, and local economies. Farmers expand their customer base with access to new customers, SNAP recipients gain access to fresh fruits and vegetables, and more dollars stay in the local economy.
To learn more about these programs Georgia Farmers can visit www.marketlink.org or attend the Farmer SNAP/EBT workshop on February 27th in Atlanta (RSVP to spierce@wholesomewavegeorgia.org).

ARTY'S GARDEN: The Sycamore Majestic, Musical and More

Winter is the best season for sycamores, I think. Their white bark gleams in the winter sun making them one of America's most distinctive trees. Against a clear blue sky or in front of a bank of Southern magnolias, a sycamore is a majestic sight.
The sycamore was one of the first trees I learned to identify as a child. In Sunday school we sang:
Zacchaeus was a wee little man
And a wee little man was he.
He climbed up in a sycamore tree
For the Lord he wanted to see...
The song comes with hand motions, which help children engage with the lyrics, and is based on a story from the Gospel of Luke about a rich publican who "was of little stature" and had to climb into a sycamore tree in order to see Jesus as he passed by. The Lord saw him and told him to hurry down because he was going to abide at his house. This shocked the crowd who considered Zacchaeus disreputable. However, Zacchaeus "made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully" and announced a change of heart, "half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold."
My mother told me that Zacchaeus slid down so fast he skinned the bark off the sycamore and it has not been able to properly stay on to this day. The combination of music, theology and horticulture made an already distinctive tree even easier to remember!
In actuality, the tree Zacchaeus perched in was a sycamore fig (Ficus sycomorus). If he had climbed into our sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), he might have had an even better view since it is such a tall tree. In fact, our sycamore, more precisely known as Eastern sycamore, American planetree or American sycamore, is one of the tallest trees native to the eastern United States. Mature specimens can reach 100 to 150 feet tall or more under ideal conditions.
The lower trunk of sycamore has an undistinguished grayish brown bark. About a quarter to halfway up the tree, the bark begins to flake off in large scales, leaving an arctic camouflage effect. On the limbs and farther up the trunk, the bark is chalky white with a smooth texture similar to that of crape myrtles. There doesn't appear to be a scientific consensus about why the bark is this way, but I'm willing to enjoy it without explanation, or just with the one provided by my mother.
A line of sycamores on the horizon usually means a

With its tall stature and white bark, the sycamore is one of our most distinctive trees. This one graces the grounds of the Georgia Capitol.
river or stream is ahead. Sycamores are the giants of our floodplains, clustering along riverbanks like skeletons of the Titans wiggling their toe bones in the mud. They do not require wet ground, however, and will grow in ordinary soil.
One thing they do require is room. Sycamores are not for confined spaces or small yards. They are good choices for

churches, schools, college campuses, cemeteries, rest stops, parks and grounds of government buildings places where they can grow tall and wide without encumbrances. One of my favorite sycamores is on the grounds of the Georgia Capitol.
Among the virtues of the sycamore is longevity. There are specimens scattered around the country that are 200 or 300 years old or older. Take a look at some of these ancient giants at www.monumentaltrees.com/en/trees/platanusoccidentalis/records/. This longevity is why I think they make good choices for landscapes that are safe from bulldozing. They can become a piece of living history in an historic setting.
The sycamore is not perfect. Diseases can cause leaf drop and twig dieback. Some people think it is somewhat messy, but I get irritated with those who can only focus on faults, those who only look down at the mud when they should be looking at the stars or at least into a bright canopy.
Besides the Sunday school ditty, the sycamore has found its way into other songs, perhaps most famously in the touching "On the Banks of the Wabash," one of the best-selling songs of the 19th century and the state song of Indiana:
Oh, the moonlight's fair tonight along the Wabash,
From the fields there comes the breath
of new-mown hay.
Through the sycamores the candle lights
are gleaming,
On the banks of the Wabash, far away.
Take a listen to this version recorded in 1913 by the American Quartet at www.loc.gov/jukebox/recordings/detail/id/2966/ or this version recorded by the Mills Brothers at www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qVjOJq9IXQ. Sycamores also make an appearance in this ballad of mining sung by Judy Collins: www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4kuFs8u7PA.
If you drop by my office in the Agriculture Building, I'll be glad to show you the sycamore gracing the state Capitol, sing the praises of sycamores in general and maybe even sing a few lines of "On the Banks of the Wabash" and the Zacchaeus song, including the hand gestures.

Pigweed: Finding solutions

son, but is expected to be available in 2016. Although these new technologies are cutting edge, they are simply additional tools available to producers in the fight against pigweed.
"The first thing to realize is that there's no silver bullet in managing pigweed; the most effective programs are those that are thought out and implemented on a timely basis, regardless of the technology being used. It doesn't matter which tool or technology you pick, the key is you the grower implementing it timely and wisely," Culpepper said.
From an environmental standpoint, pigweed has forced some producers to abandon conservation tillage in favor of conventional tillage, leaving the soil more susceptible to higher rates of wind and water erosion, as well as reducing the level of valuable organic matter in the soil. Conventional tillage is also not as sustainable as conservation tillage for farmers because it increases costs of production due to more trips across the field. The new technologies, such as dicamba and dicamba resistant seed, create the potential for farmers to move back towards more conservation tillage.
Preparation and system development are so

essential to pigweed control due primarily to the speedy growth of the plant. Once the weed becomes established and begins producing seeds, treatment becomes very expensive and it is almost impossible to eliminate the weed entirely. Although the use of dicamba and the dicamba tolerant seeds may seem like an "easy fix" upon first glance, producers must decide how to best integrate these technologies into their current systems.
"Palmer amaranth is just as big and bad as ever. These new technologies don't kill pigweed bigger than three inches. The systems that have to be created are quite effective, but they rely back on the grower," Culpepper said. "The whole story needs to be back on the grower preparing: preparation, timeliness, and program follow through are essential. These technologies don't change that one bit."
Still, farmers see the recent advancements as a big step in the right direction.
"Even though there's still a ways to go, we would not be nearly as far along in controlling pigweed as we are now without the tireless work of our extension agents and researchers across the state," Joiner said.

Pigweed continues to plague cotton farmers.

Georgia Agricultural Commodity
Commission for vegetables
Marketing Order Referendum to be held in March
The Agricultural Commodity Commission for Vegetables will hold a 30-day grower referendum to allow producers an opportunity to vote on a new Marketing Order for Vegetables which establishes a 1 cent per marketing unit assessment on fresh vegetables produced for sale in this State. The order applies to growers with 50 acres or more of total annual production and only applies to beans, bell pepper, specialty pepper, Broccoli, beets, cabbage, cantaloupe, carrots, cucumbers, eggplant, greens including collards, turnips greens, mustard and kale, squash including, yellow, zucchini and winter squash, sweet potato and tomato. Collected assessments fund programs of research, promotion and education on behalf of Georgia Vegetables. This marketing order is to replace the marketing order which failed to pass in 2014 grower referendum.
In order for the Marketing Order to be approved, 66 2/3% of those ballots returned must be in favor of approval of new the Marketing Order. Also 25% of ballots of eligible voters must be returned for referendum to be valid. Upon approval, the Marketing Order would be in effect for three (3) years beginning May 1, 2015 and ending April 30, 2018.
The balloting period for the proposed Marketing Order has been set for March 1, 2015 to March 30, 2015. Ballots must be postmarked no later than midnight March 30, 2015 to be eligible to be counted. Please mark and sign your ballot and complete the production information and return it in the postagepaid envelope as soon as possible.

Pests: Port of Savannah Hosts Workshop for State and Federal Partners

national Airport, the Port of Brunswick and the Port of Savannah. The Port of Savannah is the nation's 4th busiest container port, handling 3.14 million shipping containers in FY14 (all shipping containers measure either 20- or 40feet in length).
"In 2014, we saw phenomenal growth in every category," said Georgia Port Authority Executive Director Curtis Foltz. "Georgia's ports benefited from an improving retail economy, renewed strength in manufacturers' orders of raw goods, and the expanded population in the Southeast." Bulk cargo such as forest products, wood pellets and agricultural products saw an 5.7 percent increase.
Last October, employees from the Georgia Dept. of Agriculture's Plant Protection and Structural Pest Sections met with CBP personnel in Savannah. During the 2-day meeting, Department employees worked with CBP agriculture investigators and inspected containers that had been selected from incoming ships. Several pests were found and one container was contaminated with soil and required cleaning prior to CBP releasing it into U.S. commerce.
These types of interagency training meetings are beneficial not only because inspection tips and techniques can be shared but each agency gains a better understanding of the other's actions, focus and goals.
"CBP personnel at the Port of Savannah understand the importance of and enjoy working in a collaborative environment with stakeholders and industry partners,"

said Lisa Beth M. Brown, Area Port Director for U.S. Customs and Border Protection in Savannah, Ga. "There are many networked facets to our Nation's pest risk enforcement strategy. Knowing our partners and sharing information on intercepts, techniques and trends is paramount to success."
The Georgia Dept. of Agriculture, the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, and CBP have a long history of working together to prevent pests from entering and becoming established in the U.S. Each year, the Plant Protection Section takes part in the USDA's Cooperative Agriculture Pest Survey. Although CBP agriculture investigators do their best to find pests, it is inevitable that some will make it onto U.S. soil. It is impossible to know every insect, weed, or plant pathogen that could become a problem in the U.S., there are a few organisms that are considered to be serious invasive pests in almost every situation. Visual surveys and insect pheromone traps are used in efforts to detect these specific pests. If an insect is found that resembles a serious pest, or if it is unidentifiable, the specimen is submitted to USDA for identification.
While not every Georgian can inspect international cargo for pests, there are things consumers can do. Do not bring fruits, vegetables, or plant into the U.S. without a permit from USDA and do not order them from internet sites that are outside of the U.S. Never release plants from an aquarium into the environment.
