Commissioner Black seeks resolution to H-2A labor woes

By Amy H. Carter
Editor
Three Georgia farmers accompanied Agriculture Commissioner Gary W. Black to Washington, D.C., Sept. 29 to meet with representatives of the U.S. Department of Labor regarding farm labor issues that adversely affected the state last spring. Drew Echols, Russ Goodman and Chris McCorkle expressed the many challenges they faced while attempting to secure foreign labor through the federal H-2A temporary agricultural worker program. The meeting was arranged by U.S. Sens. Johnny Isakson (R-GA) and David Perdue (R-GA).
"First, I would characterize the meeting as very constructive and respectful," Black said. "We have Sen. Isakson and Sen. Perdue, and their staffs, to thank for making all the arrangements. They helped pave the way to get the right people to the table, and we were thankful to be able to bring three of the farmers who had stories to tell."
Drew Echols of Jaemor Farms in Alto said it helped both sides to put faces "with the boots on the ground." Echols said the farmers were able to make the case that the way things are written and the way they work in the real world are often

very different. "The main thing over all is those guys up there, those di-
vision heads, were able to sit across from three farmers and hear their concerns and why they are concerns the real world practicality of the program, what's working and what's not," he said. "Those folks being able to hear from the farmer and not an ag-work contractor, I think it was better for them than for us. They were very receptive. They were way more receptive than I thought they would be."
Last year, Georgia farmers submitted a record number of H-2A applications, Black said, and the labor department found significant deficiencies on many of them. That prevented the timely arrival of workers to harvest crops, resulting in significant losses to some farmers.
Because most H-2A applications are prepared by staffing companies or contractors and not by farmers themselves, farmers are not alerted when deficiencies that can delay the arrival of labor need to be addressed.
"The application is so complicated I can't do it myself. I've got to pay somebody to do it for me," Echols said. "DOL doesn't even see the farm name in a lot of cases."
Black's solution is to develop a ranking system of labor con-

tractors that will allow farmers to choose from the most reliable and reputable companies.
"We are committed to working with the department of labor to assimilate information and to make that information available to producers so they can make a better decision as to who to choose as a contractor or agent," Black said. "We're going to form an `Angie's List' for farmers."
Echols said this year was the first that he applied for foreign workers to assist in harvesting 300 acres of fruit and vegetable crops growing on his family farm. The job market is tight in North Georgia, he said, and no one wants a seasonal job when permanent work is so readily available.
As part of the process of applying for H-2A labor, farmers must prove that they cannot hire domestic help. For Echols, that meant advertising the 20 positions he had to fill in five newspapers across several states and on the Georgia Department of Labor's website. He received three responses to ads that ran from Feb. 25 until July 11. Only one of the three qualified for the job because she had on-farm experience. Echols hired her to harvest strawberries, a job that's fun "for about 10 minutes," he said.
"She worked four hours," Echols said. "That's why that program is so important. You've got to have people here."

South Georgia farmer produces record soybean crop

By Clint Thompson University of Georgia, College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences
South Georgia farmer Randy Dowdy is the new world record holder in soybean yield. A farmer in Brooks County, Dowdy produced 171.8 bushels per acre of soybeans. That is 10 bushels more than the previous record holder.
According to UGA Extension Agronomist Jared Whitaker, that yield was unattainable just a couple of years ago. Georgia farmers average 37 soybean bushels per acre every year, although that number increases to more than 60 bushels per acre for farmers who irrigate their soybeans.

Still, Dowdy's feat is more than four times the state average. He is the only Georgia farmer to have officially produced more than 100 bushels per acre. It's a staggering accomplishment considering Dowdy has only been farming soybeans since 2014.
"He has taken what the University of Georgia has done and worked with a lot of industry people to try to push the boundaries of yield potential," Whitaker said. "The first year he did it, he broke 100 bushels and he's increased that each year."
Whitaker said Dowdy's achievement is extremely impressive considering the environmental factors that soybean producers must overcome in South Georgia.

39th Annual Sunbelt Ag Expo
has something for everyone
By Chip Blalock, Executive Director
Sunbelt Agricultural Expo
The 39th Annual Sunbelt Ag Expo is shaping up to be the best ever. From farmers to merchants, and students to homemakers, we have something for everyone. As North America's Premier Farm Show, we host 1,200 commercial exhibitors with more than 4,000 product lines featuring the latest advances in technology, goods and services that the Ag marketplace has to offer. Unique to the expo is our 600-acre working research farm, where manufacturers and dealers can demonstrate their latest equipment. Take a front row seat and see how these innovative products and cutting edge technologies might fit into your operation.
On Tuesday, the 27th Annual Swisher Sweets/Sunbelt Expo Southeastern Farmer of the Year will be chosen from 10 outstanding nominees. John and Paula McCormick of Sylvania are Georgia's 2016 state winners.
Rather than just kicking the tires, visitors to the expo will be able to get an up close and personal driving experience during test rides on specially designed tracks. Company representatives will be available to answer questions and review the unique features of their equipment.
Chevy, Honda and Yamaha ATV test tracks will be located inside the exhibit grounds on the east side. The latest cotton pickers, corn and soybean combines, peanut inverters and combines, and hay equipment will be running in the field demos. John Deere Gators, Titan Tire, Ram Commercial truck and Ford truck test tracks will also be running in the field demos. AGCO/Massey, John Deere, Kubota and Hays LTI will be showcasing new equipment this year. Highland Precision Ag is a new exhibitor this year.
The Compact Tractor driving range, where visitors can test drive and learn more about smaller tractors in the 20-40 horsepower range, returns for the second year. Stop by and take a test drive on a variety of models.
The Hoss Tools Sustainable Living Center will offer knowledge about sustainable living, including growing fruits, vegetables and flowers. The Georgia Metals Pavilion at the Hoss Tools Sustainable Living center will be full of exhibitors showcasing the tools of the trade.
Edutainment opportunities at the expo include stock dog trials, horsemanship demos, and a chance to meet our 2016 Sunbelt Ag Expo Rodeo Queen, Brittany Howard, and her court. Take a walk back in time at the antique tractor section and parade.
More than 300 interactive educational exhibits, guided tours and demonstrations will showcase how agricultural researchers and educators are addressing important issues, safeguarding and improving the food supply and the environment, and helping to enhance the efficiency and profitability of agriculture and its related industries.
The Sunbelt Ag Expo owes its continued success to the hard work and dedication of many, but most especially to Georgia's farmers and the agricultural community. You are the reason we do what we do. So come join the fun and fellowship, and leave with a renewed sense of community and confidence in our future as the agricultural leader of the world.
The expo is located on Georgia Hwy. 133, southeast of Moultrie. The gates open at 8:30 a.m. each day of the show and close at 5 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, and 4 p.m. on Thursday. Purchase advance one-day tickets online. Buy before midnight Oct. 14 at a discount. Admission at the gate is $10 per person. Children 10 and younger are admitted free with an adult.

Monsanto invites Georgia farmers to support

charitable giving campaign

ST. LOUIS, Mo. Rural communities are the backbone of America, and now through Nov. 30, 2016, farmers residing in eligible Georgia counties will have the opportunity to win a $2,500 donation to direct to a local eligible nonprofit organization. As part of the America's Farmers Grow Communities program, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, farmers will direct more than $3 million dollars of financial support to eligible nonprofits across rural America in 2017.
Since the program began in 2010, the America's Farmers Grow Communities program has awarded more than $22 million in donations to a broad cross-section of organizations that reflect the makeup and character of rural America, including emergency response organizations, schools, youth agriculture programs and many others. More than $550,000 has been awarded to nonprofits in Georgia.
"We are excited to team up with farmers once again to help support the causes that mean the most to them and that have an impact in their local communities," said Al Mitchell, Monsanto Fund president. "Because of their commitment to this program, thousands of nonprofit organizations have been able to enhance the important pro-

grams and services they provide, having a positive impact on the communities they serve."
Eligible farmers can enroll or learn more about the program by visiting www.GrowCommunities.com, or calling 1.877.267.3332. Additional information can also be found on Facebook at facebook.com/AmericasFarmersGrowCommunities.

Soybean: Farmer overcomes challenges

Continued From Page 1

"It's a world record, which stands on its own. But the fact that it came from South Georgia is the most impressive thing," Whitaker said. "Our soils are dry to the point of drought. Our temperatures are hot. Soybeans typically do not flourish in those environments. The fact that it's a world record in South Georgia is beyond my belief."
Dowdy credits knowledge gleaned from UGA sources for the accomplishment.
"We always have ideas and we always have concerns and we always have things that we don't understand as farmers, and I have tapped into the UGA resource quite often, whether it's at the local county agent level or at the university level," Dowdy said. "They bring a wealth of information. They've been doing this for a long time. I'm not interested in reinventing those wheels. They're open to new ideas and vetting new concepts. That's been a good deal."

Dowdy's record-setting yields occurred on 3.15 of the 2,000-plus acres he farms. The crop was planted April 22 and 23 in Brooks County and was harvested on Aug. 28. Ben Shirley, the UGA Extension Agriculture and Natural Resources agent in Brooks County, confirmed Dowdy's contest entry.
"Specifically, Randy works diligently to eliminate stress to the plant via soil fertility and soil moisture and to limit losses via insects and diseases. He also harvested the crop in an extremely timely manner," Whitaker said.
According to the UGA Center for Agribusiness and Economic Development, more than 289,000 acres of soybeans were planted in Georgia in 2014, with a farm gate value of over $125 million. Brooks County is the top producer of soybeans in the state.
Dowdy holds the world record in corn yield. He also grows peanuts and wheat.

Arty's Garden: Plant a garden and party for the bees

By Arty Schronce
Bees have been in the news lately due to declining populations of certain species. Some have drastically declined. This is disturbing news for agriculture and the environment.
People are looking for ways to help not only the familiar honeybee but also our native species such as bumblebees and halictid bees. Slightly amending your home landscape and planting a garden (or even just a few plants) for them will help these pollinators and the farmers who depend on them. Here are a few tips to keep in mind as you work to help the bees:
Choose native plants. While many non-natives are excellent sources of nectar and pollen, by choosing native plants you can almost assuredly help native bees. Did you know there are at least 542 species of bees native to Georgia? These bees are valuable pollinators, but do not get the attention honeybees do. To learn more visit http:// native-bees-ofgeorgia.ggc. edu/
Avoid doubleflowered varieties. These have more than the normal number of petals but produce less (if any) pollen and nectar. You may think these are pretty, but they can actually be detrimental to bees by confusing and distracting them from flowers that help them. The overblown doubles are also not as attractive to butterflies.
Try to have a long period of blooming with overlapping bloom times. A wide diversity of plants is better than one single kind.

Avoid insecticides. If a flower requires

spraying, save yourself time and money by

growing a flower that doesn't.

Protect and create nesting and egg-laying

sites. Native bees need sites in the ground or

woody vegetation and nesting material. Leave

dead tree snags and branches, if possible. Some

bees nest in the stems of flowering plants, so

don't cut them down until the following spring,

after the bees have emerged. Create sites for hi-

bernation and overwintering such as brush piles,

rock piles, log piles and hedgerows.

A shallow concrete birdbath makes a good

water source for bees.

Don't think that because you live in the city

that you can't do anything. A few flowers on a

deck or balcony may help.

Here are a few bee favorites you can plant or

preserve on your property. They represent only a There are many species of goldenrods native to Georgia. Contrary to popular

Educate your friends and neighbors about the importance of bees. We would not have fruits and vegetables without these pollinators. Also, buy local honey and support local

beekeepers; they are working hard to protect honeybees and

will appreciate the help you give to them and other bees,

too. One way to educate is to host a honey-tasting party.

Provide your guests with a copy of "Protecting Georgia's

Pollinators" and give them a packet of seeds of a plant (or

the plant itself) that is a bee favorite.

To get a copy of "Protecting Georgia's Pollinators,"

contact your county Cooperative Extension office or visit

the Georgia Department of Agriculture website (www.agr.

georgia.gov/protecting-georgias-pollinators.aspx) to view

it online. The booklet is a collaboration of the Georgia

Department of Agriculture and faculty of the Department

of Entomology at the University of Georgia. It provides

suggestions to anyone interested in pollinators, encourages

communication between landowners and beekeepers, and

encourages protection of managed bee colonies and native

Industry: Keepers of backyard flocks should follow biosecurity protocol, too

trucks, trailers and people, who carry the virus on their clothing, shoes or hands.
Different strains of HPAI caused outbreaks in the U.S. in 1924, 1983 and 2004. The Eurasian strain triggered outbreaks in 21 states between December 2014 and June 2015. That strain is thought to have been passed to North American wild waterfowl by migrating Asian and European waterfowl at shared summer breeding grounds in Siberia and Alaska.
"The 2015 outbreak was very unusual," Webster said. "It spread very, very quickly and affected so many birds. There was something very special about that strain, and it exposed some weaknesses in biosecurity."
Those weaknesses have been addressed, and the industry is stronger for it, said Mike Giles, president of the Georgia Poultry Federation in Gainesville.
"Biosecurity has always been stressed as important, but the outbreaks in the United States during 2015 caused the industry to reevaluate the protocols in place," Giles said. "The poultry industry is much more secure and prepared to respond than it was prior to the outbreaks."
In fact, both Giles and Moon noted that more diligent adherence to biosecurity has led to a lower incidence of all types of disease in Georgia's commercial poultry flocks. Getting similar compliance from citizens keeping backyard flocks is

crucial to prevent an outbreak of avian influenza in Georgia, Webster said.
"Backyard flocks are of concern because the community that has backyard flocks is not as prepared to deal with AI," Webster said. "They may not be very aware of the danger or do not have very well established biosecurity procedures. Also, their birds have more opportunities to be exposed to the disease. Once AI is there it can spread again before the owner knows he or she has got a problem."
The threat of an outbreak of the Eurasian strain still lingers. The virus was detected in a mallard duck taken Aug. 26 by a hunter in an Alaskan wildlife refuge. Since the first outbreak of the Eurasian strain in the winter of 2014, high-path viruses have been detected in wild birds sampled from three of the four migratory flyways that cover the U.S. In January the USDA predicted that high-path viruses will be brought to the Atlantic flyway which includes Georgia by migrating ducks. It is possible that the viruses are already present but undetected in the resident wild duck population of the Atlantic flyway, the agency said.
Moon doesn't have to be reminded of the risk. "This is our livelihood. It's some of our main income. If we don't protect our livelihood we won't survive," he said. "If AI moved into Northeast Georgia it would devastate the econ-

omy in this area. Madison County is the number one county in the state in Ag income, and that's predominantly because of poultry. It would devastate this area. That's why we all have to take every precaution and do absolutely everything we can do to prevent it."
Bruce Webster developed an Avian Influenza Decision Guide for Small Flocks to assist UGA Extension Agents in identifying AI in sick backyard flocks. The form is available to all small flock owners online at extension.uga.edu/topics/poultry/ avian-flu/documents/Small-Flock-Decision-Guide-fillable.pdf. If you suspect your flock has AI, call the Georgia Poultry Lab Network's Avian Influenza Hotline at 770.766.6850 or the Georgia Department of Agriculture's AI Hotline at 855.491.1432.

From our Archives:
Not for farmers only

The Dec. 14, 1988, issue of the Farmers and Consumers Market Bulletin included this list of ornamental trees suitable for planting to add fall color to the landscape. Information with such general appeal was not typically offered in the pages of the Georgia Farmers' Market Bulletin during the first 52 years of its existence.
Founded as a vehicle to report agricultural market prices during a time when few other means of mass communication were available, the bulletin focused exclusively on the needs of Georgia's farmers. The editorial content we offer today

had its genesis in the occasional tidbits of "women's news" that were offered for the benefit of "the farm wife."
Markets for handicrafts and canned goods, news of household innovations for the homemaker, and sources for purchasing ornamental plants and seeds for the garden were the purview of the "Woman's Department."
It wasn't until 1969 that we added recipes, gardening advice and even quilting patterns to our editorial mix. That addition coincided with a change in name to the Farmers and Consumers Market Bulletin.

Following is a list of trees that add to the color spectrum of the garden and the yard. And, since fall is the best time for planting most trees, they are worth a look, possibly as Christmas gifts for your resident gardener.

Sunbelt Power Solutions delivers affordable energy to Georgia farmers

By Amy H. Carter Editor

They say there's nothing new under the sun, but a small

family-owned business in Douglas is out to prove them

wrong. Solar power is new every day the sun rises and shines,

and Sunbelt Power Solutions in Douglas has found a more

economical way to deliver that power to almost everyone, in-

cluding farmers and ranchers.

Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity,

which makes it one of the cleanest and most sustainable en-

ergy sources available. It is also the most abundant energy

source on Earth. According to the U.S. Department of En-

ergy, 173,000 terawatts of solar energy strikes the Earth con-

tinuously. That's more than 10,000 times the world's total

energy use.

A properly sized solar panel array will reduce reliance on

conventional power sources by as much as 65 percent during

daylight hours, according to Hamp Gillis of Sunbelt Power

Solutions. Additionally, a system that is plugged into the con-

ventional power grid will feed excess electricity into the main

system, generating a bill credit toward future consumption

if not a slight profit from conventional power providers. A
