New compliance officers hired: GATE team ensures proper use of sales tax exemption on agriculture purchases

By Amy H. Carter Editor
The Georgia Department of Agriculture is deploying a team of ambassadors to advocate statewide for the fair and proper use of the Georgia Agricultural Tax Exemption (GATE). The five compliance officers are tasked with educating retailers and farmers about allowable applications of the sales tax exemption to purchases made for farm-related use.
Reggie Stowers of Dawsonville, Susan Hilliard Harden of Savannah, Barry Deas of Manor, Ben Lane of Dahlonega and Wesley Pope of Hogansville, will work five territories of the state visiting retailers and talking with GATE participants about legal uses for the exemption.
"We are the face of GATE," said Pope, a cattle rancher who utilizes GATE in caring

To the Readers of the MARKET BULLETIN

Notice
Ads for the Sept. 28 issue -- including Farmland for Rent/Lease -- are due by
noon, Sept. 14.

On the front page of our Aug. 17 issue we reprinted a special notice to Market Bulletin readers pulled from our March 27, 1930, issue. Unfortunately, our reprint was difficult to read, an irony since it was an appeal addressed specifically to all who could read and write. We've heard from a few readers who had trouble making out the words of that notice, so we're reprinting it here again. We'll be featuring excerpts from past issues often as we approach the 100th anniversary of the Market Bulletin March 1, 2017. We'll make sure our future offerings are easier on the eyes.
-Amy H. Carter, editor

March 24, 1930 As you know, the United States census enumerators will begin taking the census on April 2. One question that will be asked of every person above the age of ten will be: CAN YOU READ AND WRITE? It is the solemn duty of every person who has attended school and who can read and write any to tell the enumerators YES. On account of the low rank that Georgia made in 1920 the state has been subjected to severe criticism by the rest of the world. Hence, now is our opportunity to set ourselves right by cooperation with the census takers in giving the correct answer to the question, CAN YOU READ AND WRITE? They will not require any person to read, write or sign anything for proof of this ability.
Yours truly, J.O. MARTIN,
State Supervisor of Schools

Georgia Poultry Improvement Association celebrates 80 years

The Georgia Poultry Improvement Association is marking its 80th year in service to Georgia's poultry industry. The association was created in the mid-1930s to irradicate pullorum and to prepare Georgia's poultry industry for growth. Today, Dr. Louise DufourZavala and the Georgia Poultry Improvement Association conduct research and community outreach to protect Georgia's flocks from Avian Influenza and various other diseases.
"We are proud to be a vital part of this important industry," said Dufour-Zavala, executive director of the association. "It is our job to work with our partners to help protect our poultry through research and testing. We are happy to say that we have done that successfully for over 80 years and look forward to continuing that effort for the next 80 years and beyond."
In 1956, broilers dethroned King Cotton as Georgia's No. 1 farm

income producer, and the industry has grown steadily every year since. Poultry-egg production and processing contributed $25.5 billion and nearly 103,770 jobs to the state in 2014. The poultry improvement association provides stability and security for a major part of the world's poultry production and receives nominal state investment.
"I am extremely proud of the overwhelming success of the Georgia Poultry Improvement Association," said Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black. "The work that has been accomplished over the years has aided Georgia in becoming the number one state for the poultry industry and another prime example of why Georgia is the number one place to do business."

USDA offers monthly price reporting from state farmers markets

For 100 years, USDA Market News has been collecting and disseminating market information to assist producers, ranchers, processors and other stakeholders with marketing and production decisions to meet changing

consumer demands and marketing practices. Now, USDA Market News is investing
time and resources into creating market transparency and providing producers and consumers access to prices from farmers markets,

food hubs, Farm-to-School programs, and direct-to-consumer sales. Reports will be posted on the new USDA Market News Local and Regional website, which provides producers and consumers a one-stop shop for reports on

local and regional food outlets: http://www. ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0/MarketNewsLocalRegional. Georgia market prices will be published monthly in the Market Bulletin.

Cook Georgia Grown:
Save the figs

If you've got a fruitful fig tree in your landscape, we've probably caught you pondering the fate of your tasty but short-lived harvest. The fig was one of the first fruits cultivated by humans, which makes the question of what to do with all that fruit one of the earliest ponderings by man. Figs have a very short shelf life because they do not ripen further after picking. That is why you usually see them dried, frozen or stuffed inside a cookie. Readers of the Market Bulletin know they're also good as preserves and even pickles. In 1969 the Market Bulletin added recipes to its mix of editorial content, and solicited submissions from readers to create a forum for sharing family favorites with neighbors all over the state. The archival record of these recipes shows an overwhelming fondness for figs. We're offering you reprints here of a few we've chosen to represent the whole. Unfortunately our deadline did not afford the opportunity to test these recipes, contributed by long-ago readers, but our predecessors on the staff found them worthy of publication, so we feel confident recommending them.

Fig Pickles

Fig Cookies

Cover 3 quarts figs with 2 quarts boiling water and allow to stand 5 minutes.

Make syrup of: 1 cup water 6 cups sugar 1 cup vinegar

Small cheesecloth bag containing whole spices, cloves, stick cinnamon.

Drain figs and boil in this syrup 3 consecutive mornings, 10 minutes each morning, then pack into clean jars. Put on cap, screwing the band tight. Process in water bath 10 minutes. These are very good.

Polly's Fig Preserves

Ingredients: 1 cup shortening 2 cups brown sugar 2 eggs 4 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp. vanilla Pinch salt 1 tsp. baking soda,
dissolved in cup water 1 cup fig preserves

Directions: In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients, except preserves. Roll two-thirds of batter into small balls and place on cookie sheet; imprint thumb in each cookie. Fill imprints with fig preserves and top with a small bit of remaining batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.

Fig Cake with Buttermilk Glaze

Ingredients: 10 lbs. figs 2 Tbsps. Soda 7 lbs. sugar

6 cups hot water 1 Tbsp. cloves 2 lemons

1 cup buttermilk 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1 cup chopped fresh figs
(stems removed) or fig preserves 1 cup chopped Georgia pecans, optional Buttermilk Glaze (recipe below)

Make a syrup using 7 lbs. sugar with 6 cups of hot water and 1 Tbsp. of cloves in a little bag. Slice 2 lemons and add with the figs. Boil for 30 mins. Let stand overnight then continue cooking the next day to desired thickness.
Submitted by Mrs. R.P. Darsey (Published Aug. 2, 1972)
Mock Strawberry Fig Preserves
Ingredients: 5 cups raw figs 5 cups sugar 1 family size or 2 small packs of strawberry Jell-O

Directions: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Sift together first 7 ingredients. Stir in eggs, oil and buttermilk, blending well. Stir in vanilla; fold in figs and pecans. Pour into a greased and floured 13x9-inch pan. Bake for 55 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Pierce top of cake several times with wooden pick; pour Buttermilk Glaze over warm cake.

Buttermilk Glaze

Ingredients: 1 cup sugar cup buttermilk

1 tsp. light corn syrup 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions: Wash, stem and mash figs; bring to boil. Cook 20 minutes on low flame, as figs will burn easily. If you prefer a more jelled consistency add 1 package of SURE-JELL.
Submitted by Mrs. Zora W. Carver, Gulfport, Miss. (Published Sept. 6, 1972)

Directions: Combine all ingredients in medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook 3 minutes. Remove from heat and pour over warm cake.

Arty's Garden: Cloudless sulphurs brighten late summer and fall gardens

By Arty Schronce Knowing my fascination with rocks, my Aunt Frances
bought me a collection of minerals during a motor trip through the West during the early 1970s. The minerals were glued to a piece of cardboard with each identified by name. One that I can still see to this day is sulfur. It was pure bright yellow. I had never seen a rock like it.
A male cloudless sulphur feeds at anisacanthus, a flower that is also a hummingbird favorite.

I don't know what happened to that souvenir, but I still remember the sulfur and Aunt Frances when I see the sulphur butterflies in my garden. (Sulphur is an older spelling of sulfur, and it is retained as a group name and in the individual names of some of the yellow butterflies of the family Pieridae.)
Of the sulphurs that visit my garden, my favorite is the cloudless sulphur. (Some entomologists call it the cloudless giant sulphur.) It is called "cloudless" because it is almost solid yellow, while some of the other common sulphurs have gray patterns or markings on their wings.
Cloudless sulphurs are more abundant in my garden in late summer and fall than in spring or early summer. I love watching them; they brighten my garden and usually my mood.
Planting or protecting the larval plants (plants the adults lay eggs on and that the caterpillars eat), as well as the nectar plants the adults feed on, are the best ways to attract any butterfly. Larval host plants for cloudless sulphurs include partridge pea, clovers, Argentine senna (Cassia corymbosa), wild senna (Cassia marilandica) and other legumes, especially sennas (Cassia spp.). Among the favorite flowers where adult cloudless sulphurs gather nectar are pineapple sage (Salvia rutilans), firecracker vine (Manettia cordifolia), Turk's cap mallow or wax-mallow (Malvaviscus arboreus var. drummondii), anisacanthus (Anisacanthus wrightii), Texas or tropical sage (Salvia coccinea), cardinal flower (Lobelia cardinalis), jewelweed (Impatiens capensis) and single-flowered zinnias. They also like native asters and blazing stars (Liatris spp.)
Besides being beautiful, cloudless sulphurs are interesting. They are one of the few species of butterflies that will migrate south for the winter. They also prefer to feed at flowers frequented by hummingbirds instead of those normally favored by butterflies. If you are planting flowers for hummingbirds, you are planting some things that cloudless sulphurs will utilize too.
Due to its size and color, the cloudless sulphur is easy to spot in the air, but when it lands to feed, it folds its wings and

goes quite still. It can look like a leaf, a momentary camouflage. Then it is off; a blast of sunshine even on dark days.

GEORGIA GRAZING SCHOOL SET
FOR SEPT. 20-21 IN TIFTON
University of Georgia Cooperative Extension forage specialist Dennis Hancock has organized the annual Georgia Grazing School Sept. 20 - 21 at the National Environmentally Sound Production Agriculture Laboratory (NESPAL) building on the UGA campus in Tifton.
This two-day workshop will focus on soil fertility, forage crop establishment, plant growth, animal nutrient requirements, and management-intensive grazing. Training will take place in both classroom and field settings.
Multiple classroom lectures addressing plant and grazing management will be combined with farm visits. The first farm visit will be to the UGA Bull Evaluation Center for hands-on learning and demonstrations. Then the group will visit Deep Grass Graziers, a grass-fed beef farm in Irwinville, where intensive grazing management is practiced. Participants will also hear from George Owens, a North Florida cattleman who has developed a silvopasture production system on his farm.
Cost of the two-day program is $150 for the first person from each farm and $75 per person for each additional person from a farm or family. Registration includes lunches, break snacks, dinner on the first night and a grazing school handbook. Registration is limited and participants are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
For more information on the Grazing School, visit www.georgiaforages.com.

Notice of Public HeariNg

Pursuant to the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, O.C.G.A. 2-7-204 and 50-134, notice is hereby given that the Georgia Department of Agriculture will be holding a public hearing regarding the adoption of new Chapter 40-13-15 entitled "Transportation and Holding of Live Feral Hogs." Said hearing will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2016, at 1 p.m. at the Macon State Farmers Market, located at 2055 Eisenhower Pkwy, Macon, GA 31206. The Department previously accepted written comments regarding the proposed rules, and will hereby extend the opportunity to submit written comments from Aug. 19, 2016, to close of business (4:30 p.m. EST) on Sept. 19, 2016.
SYNOPSIS, MAIN FEATURES AND DIFFERENCES The Department is proposing to adopt a new Chapter, 40-13-15, entitled "Transportation and Holding of Live Feral Hogs," which is necessary to administer O.C.G.A. 2-7-200 et. seq. Proposed Rule 40-13-15-.01 entitled "Definitions" would provide definitions for "Feral Hog" and "Taken." Said definitions would be the same as provided in O.C.G.A. 27-2-1. Proposed Rule 40-13-15-.02 entitled "Applicability of Rules" would establish that these rules apply to the transportation and holding of live feral hogs within the State of Georgia. Proposed Rule 40-13-15-.03 entitled "Transportation of Live Feral Hogs" would provide that no person shall transport live feral hogs in Georgia without having a valid Feral Hog Transport Permit and that live feral hogs shall only be transported to approved slaughter facilities, licensed Feral Hog Facilities, or other premises for immediate personal consumption unless a special written exemption is obtained from the State Veterinarian. This proposed rule would also establish additional requirements for the transportation of live feral hogs including, but not limited to: premises registration for carriers and conveyance used to transport live feral hogs, sanitation requirements for carriers and conveyances used to transport live feral hogs, and Department approved ear-tags on all live feral hogs transported. Proposed Rule 40-13-15-.04 entitled "Feral Hog Transport Permit" would establish the procedure for obtaining, and requirements for maintaining, a Feral Hog Transport Permit. This rule would provide that, among other things, the permit application shall be made online at the Department's website, would provide that the permit is valid upon the date of issuance and expires annually on Sept. 30, would provide that the annual permit fee is $15 and shall be remitted before the permit is issued or renewed, would provide that the permit is valid only for the applicant stated on the permit and is not transferable, would provide that the permit must be carried on the person of the permit holder at all times during transportation of live feral hogs, and would provide that the holder of the permit must maintain complete and legible records on all feral hogs transported by the permit holder for three (3) consecutive years. Proposed Rule 40-13-15-.05 entitled "Feral Hog Facility Requirements" would provide that a license is required for the operation of a Feral Hog Facility which holds live feral hogs. This proposed rule would also require premises registration for all physical locations where live feral hogs are held, would provide that any operator of a licensed Feral Hog Facility who intends to personally transport live feral

hogs is required to obtain and maintain a Feral Hog Transport Permit, would provide that live feral hogs held at a licensed Feral Hog Facility may only be transported to approved slaughter facilities, other licensed Feral Hog Facilities, or for immediate personal consumption unless a special written exemption is obtained from the State Veterinarian prior to transport, would establish official brucellosis and pseudorabies testing requirements, would establish fencing requirements, would require that live feral hogs be maintained in secure escape-proof pens, would reiterate that it is unlawful for any person to accidentally or intentionally release a live feral hog, require that all live feral hogs shall have a Georgia Department of Agriculture approved ear-tag, would provide that feral hogs held at a licensed Feral Hog Facility shall not be permitted to breed, would provide that all boars shall be castrated or maintained in separate confinement from female hogs until castration, and would provide that all progeny of female swine bred prior to introduction to the facility be held and treated in accordance with these rules. Proposed Rule 40-13-15-.06 entitled "Feral Hog Facility License" would establish the procedure for obtaining, and requirements for maintaining, a Feral Hog Facility License.

Georgia celebrates certification of 100th organic farm: New campaign pushes for 200 certified producers

By James Carr
Nuri Icgoren is a soft-spoken, generous farmer with a heart of gold and an active mind. He has a vision for his five-acre property south of Grant Park that's as much about community revitalization and self-sufficiency as it is about food production.
His ultimate vision entails a mixed-use development with residences, office space, natural pools and lots of community events, all orbiting the central core of the site, the popular farm Urban Sprouts.
Icgoren has been strategic and innovative with his buildout of the farm since founding Urban Sprouts in 2011. He's tapped into resources and support provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service to expand the farm's infrastructure with installations of a high tunnel, well and irrigation system, and enhanced wash station.
He also tapped into Georgia Organics' 100 Organic Farms Campaign to fast-track the transition to certified organic, while being reimbursed for all of his certification costs. That enabled him to sell his popular starter plants at the Grant Park Farmers Market in the spring of 2016 as certified organic seedlings, an appealing product for gardeners who want to raise fresh vegetables at home with the certainty that they aren't genetically engineered or sprayed with dangerous pesticides.
Urban Sprouts is one of the many farms Georgia Organics has assisted with the transition to certified organic.
In the winter of 2014, Georgia Organics and the Georgia Department of Agriculture launched the 100 Organic Farms Campaign, a statewide collaboration to grow Georgia's organic industry from 75 certified organic farms to more than 100 certified organic farms by the end of 2016.
In the spring of 2016, Georgia surpassed that goal, reaching 103 farms in a 16-month period, a 36 percent increase. After achieving this historic milestone, Georgia Organics and the Department of Agriculture are kicking off the 200 Organic

Farms Campaign to further support farmers pursuing organic certification and boosting the ever-growing organic industry.
Agriculture is Georgia's top industry, and as organic product sales continue to grow, the state's farmers stand to benefit in a big way.
"Organic agriculture is entering a new phase of growth in Georgia, which is now competing squarely with other southeastern states on the number of organic operations," said Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black. "With growth like this we can say we are proud of what our organic community has accomplished and excited about economic opportunities that will benefit urban and rural areas of the state."
With $43.3 billion in total organic product sales nationwide, the industry saw its largest dollar gain ever, adding $4.2 billion in sales in 2015, up from the $3.9 billion recorded in 2014. For the fourth year running, the industry saw growth in the double

digits at 10.8 percent. To date, the industry has shown continuous and steady gains since the economic downturn of 2009 with a growth rate well beyond that of the overall food market at 3.3 percent in 2015.
That's why Georgia Organics and the GDA are launching a historic partnership to help more farmers take advantage of the rapidly growing organic market by providing funding and training for farmers who want to become USDA Certified Organic.
"Georgia can become a major player in the organic sector, but we have to help farmers overcome barriers," said Georgia Organics Executive Director Alice Rolls. "This partnership with the Georgia Department of Agriculture is ultimately designed to put more Georgia Grown organic food on Georgia tables and help farmers thrive."
The 200 Organic Farms Campaign removes the financial barrier to USDA Organic Certification by reimbursing the full cost of organic certification up to $1,000 for farmers pursuing it for the first time. The GDA will fund 75 percent (up to $750) and Georgia Organics will provide the remaining 25 percent (up to $250).
In addition to financial reimbursement, farmers who participate in the 200 Organic Farms Campaign will also receive marketing assistance, access to workshops and online resources covering topics like business training, working with distributors and institutional buyers, and guidance on the certification process.

SUDIA names new general manager: Doug Ackerman takes over in 2017

The board of directors of the Southeast United Dairy Industry Association appointed Doug Ackerman general manager of the organization effective Jan. 1, 2017. Ackerman will succeed Cheryl Hayn, who is retiring after 28 years of service.
"After a comprehensive search process which included reviewing over 150 resumes, the board is pleased to have found the best individual to represent our Southeastern dairy farmers," said Glen Easter, a South Carolina dairy farmer who serves as president of the SUDIA board.
"Once we spoke with Doug we knew he was the right person for the job due to his passion for the agriculture industry, extensive experience in retail and marketing and a proven history of leadership."
Ackerman is a native of Austin, Texas, who earned his Bachelor of Business Administration

at Sam Houston State University and his Master of Business Administration from the University of Tampa. Ackerman's work experience encompasses retail, marketing, consumer packaged foods, state government, and more than 22 years of leadership and service through the National Guard, including two deployments in the global war on terror.
Most recently he worked as executive director of the Florida Department of Citrus.
"I am looking forward to working on behalf of our Southeastern dairy farmers and promoting delicious dairy products," Ackerman said. "There are lots of exciting opportunities in the dairy industry and I am eager to continue helping our dairy farmers meet the needs of consumers in the Southeast."
