Department of Agriculture activates emergency preparedness plans for Hurricane Matthew

Hurricane Matthew took a toll on Georgia's cotton and pecan crops that may be felt for years to come.
"After surveying the damage, I think it is safe to say that it is certainly not as bad as it could have been, but it is quite a bit worse than we expected it to be," said Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary W. Black, who toured affected farmlands in South Georgia Oct. 12.
"It can be hard to quantify damages in situations like these. The losses that occur are not always clear-cut. Anytime you have a major disruption to the production cycle, you are going to have a cost associated with that as well."
Although the worst of the storm stayed offshore, Hurricane Matthew struck a glancing blow to Georgia before making landfall as a Category 1 storm near Myrtle Beach, S.C. The storm triggered widespread flooding on Georgia's coast and extensive wind damage inland. Wind damage to cotton and pecans that were ready for harvest will mean lower profits and decreased future production capabilities, particularly for pecan farmers who lost mature trees to the storm. It can take newly planted trees up to seven years to reach full production potential.
While the losses suffered by Georgia's farmers are still be-

ing measured, the loss to consumers and to owners of livestock and companion animals in the state is minimal, thanks to careful planning and preparation.
The Georgia Department of Agriculture launched a broad response to the threat and aftermath of the storm that was informed, in part, by the department's preparations for an outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza.
"The efforts that have been done over the past 18 months to prepare ourselves for HPAI have greatly assisted us in responding to Hurricane Matthew," Black said. "We have a wonderfully talented and dedicated team that sacrificed many hours to the response efforts. They should all be commended for their service."
More than 70 staff members representing various disciplines within the department responded to the threat of Matthew before, during and after the storm. Personnel in the department's food safety, fuel and measures, companion animal and livestock programs began reaching out to licensees of their respective divisions on the Monday before the storm reached Georgia, and followed up with those affected in the days after the storm had passed.
Members of Georgia's Food and Feed Rapid Response

Team some of whom had to evacuate themselves checked in with licensed food, feed and meat facilities in the days before the storm to make sure they had emergency plans and equipment such as generators to enable quick recovery afterwards. They also called on some 1,200 licensed.
"Field visits were made beginning on Tuesday, Oct. 11, to inspect retail and manufactured food establishments in the affected area and take regulatory action when necessary," said Natalie Adan, director of food safety. "Our main focus is to protect the public and ensure that food offered for sale is safe and honestly presented."
Inspectors assigned to the department's companion animal and equine programs began contacting horse stables and animal shelters, animal rescue facilities and kennels that board animals to measure their preparedness for the storm about four days before it arrived.
"We had two battle grounds here," said Mark Murrah, director of the companion animal division.
"We had the coastal areas that were going to be affected, and we also had the areas that animals and people were evacuating to, so we really had two fronts. We had to incorporate

Regents approve bachelor's degree in Ag Education for ABAC

ABAC students Anna Marie Pugh, a junior agriculture major from Montgomery, Ala., and Mitchel Sheffield, a junior biology major from Donalsonville, joined ABAC President David Bridges for the announcement Oct. 18 of the new bachelor's degree in Agricultural Education during the 2016 Sunbelt Agricultural Exposition.

During its regular monthly meeting in Atlanta, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia gave its approval for Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College to offer a Bachelor of Science degree in Agricultural Education.
"The State of Georgia has had a deficit of vocational agriculture teachers for 30 years," said ABAC President David Bridges. "Thanks to the positive vote from the board of regents, we are now in a unique position to provide a solution to that problem."
ABAC introduced bachelor's degrees to its curriculum in 2008 when 42 students began taking junior and senior level classes. The number of students enrolled in bachelor's programs at ABAC now exceeds 1,800 of the

total enrollment of 3,477 students. "We are uniquely different from
any other state college in the university system,"
Bridges said. "The other state colleges have a limited number of typical
bachelor's programs, such as education, business or the liberal arts.
"We have those, too, but ABAC has national name recognition (for) unique programs in agriculture, natural resources and rural studies, and a biology program that prepares students for a professional field of study. We also have a beautiful rural campus and modern housing whichallows us to attract students from all over the world." Jerry Baker, dean of the School of Agriculture and Natural Resources at See ABAC, page 6

Georgia Grown appeals to young consumers at the Georgia National Fair

The Georgia Department of Agriculture's

Georgia Grown program connected with con-

sumers big and small at the 27th annual Geor-

gia National Fair in Perry, Oct. 6-16. The Geor-

gia Grown Building was a hub of information

about agriculture for fair-goers of all ages, but

especially children, who flocked to "Georgie's

Farm" to play games, "pick" Georgia-grown

fruits and vegetables, and hear stories about ag-

riculture read by Georgia celebrities. The farm

was named for the Georgia Grown program's

mascot, Georgie, who appears on all of the pro-

gram's marketing and educational materials for

children.

Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle conducted the first

reading on Georgie's Farm for a group of Bibb

County school children. He read the book, "Hi, I'm Billy Blueberry: This Is My Story," written by Alma blueberry grower Brian Wade with the assistance of the Georgia Farm Bureau.

Georgia Grown mascot Georgie and Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle read to young visitors at Georgie's Farm.

Commissioner Gary Black visits Georgie's Farm.

Cagle praised the success of the Georgia Grown pro- prior to a special ribbon-cutting ceremony that marked the of-

gram in remarks ficial opening of the Georgia Grown Building. Cagle recalled

the inception of Georgia Grown five years ago and marveled

at the successful partnerships it has forged for Georgia farm-

ers. Those partnerships include sponsorship of Georgie's

Farm by Publix supermarkets, as well as a recent statewide

advertising campaign by SUBWAY touting its purchasing

agreements with growers of tomatoes and bell peppers in

South Georgia.

Cagle said that when he first heard Georgia

Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black speak of his

plan for the program five years ago, "I thought it

was a wonderful vision, but I must say to you I

never had any idea that it was going to develop

into what it has. As recently as last night I was

eating in a restaurant in Atlanta and everything

they had on their menu was Georgia Grown

products."

With major companies like Subway using the

Georgia Grown logo in their marketing campaigns,

awareness is growing.

"Riding down the interstate we see the Subway

billboards with Georgia Grown on them, and every aspect

of what has been created makes us very proud and it creates

an enormous amount of value to the farmer and to agriculture

as a whole," Cagle said.

Georgia Farm Bureau President Gerald Long said children are a crucial audience for the state's agricultural producers. The Farm Bureau was one of several industry partners that joined Georgia Grown at the fair to educate consumers about the state's most valuable industry.
"It's amazing. Some people who have lived in Georgia all their lives don't even realize what Farm Bureau is, really, and we're trying to educate them that we're advocates of agriculture and the consumer, because we're all consumers. That's our biggest challenge," Long said.
"The next challenge is bringing the young people to get them involved (in agriculture) and see how important it is. We preach to them that they're our future leaders, but so many times they think, `Oh, yeah, but that's a long way off, if forever.' It gets here pretty quick ... so we've got to stay on top of communicating with them."
Other components of the Georgia Grown Building included a popular store where visitors could shop for food products made by Georgia Grown members; a movie theater where visitors could watch two short films about Georgia growers of blueberries and peanuts; information booths staffed by Georgia Grown members and partners; and Georgia's second annual Presidential Peanut Poll, hosted by Secretary of State Brian Kemp. In 2015, Georgia's Peanut Poll drew nearly Madelynne Gabelman, 7, of North 20,000 more voters than Carolina milks GiGi on Georgie's Iowa's Straw Poll, making Farm. it the largest in the nation.
"Every year we challenge ourselves to improve the understanding and importance of the agricultural industry to the public, and I am so proud of our team for continuing that effort in such innovative and engaging ways in our always improving Georgia Grown Building here at the fair," said Agriculture Commissioner Gary W. Black.

ABAC: Students already interested
Continued From Page 1
ABAC, said the primary goal of the degree is "to achieve and maintain a level of graduate production and job placement to contribute to the sustainability of agricultural education programs in Georgia's middle and high schools."
Baker said the new degree is designed for students who desire to teach agricultural education in secondary schools or pursue other careers as educational specialists for industry, nonprofit organizations and government agencies.
"We currently have 107 students at ABAC who have expressed an interest in pursuing the Ag Ed major," Baker said. "We are excited about the addition of this new program to our other excellent degrees. We have seen growth in our programs because our graduates have good skills and they are prepared for the work force."
Bridges said the agricultural education major fits in perfectly with the new ABAC strategic plan, titled "Destination ABAC."
"As Georgia's agricultural state college, our focus is on programs in agriculture and natural resource management that prepare students for careers in Georgia's leading industry, which has always been agriculture," Bridges said. "ABAC's existing degrees in agriculture and ag-related fields provide a strong infrastructure on which to build a premier agricultural education program to help provide needed professionals in an important area of the state's work force."
ABAC now offers bachelor's degrees in agriculture, biology, business and economic development, nursing, environmental horticulture, natural resource management including tracks in forestry and wildlife and rural studies including tracks in writing and communication, politics and modern cultures, social and community development, and ag communication.

House vs. Senate: Georgia General Assembly members compete in the livestock ring

Have you ever wondered which member of the Georgia General Assembly is the best showman of the lot? Rep. Scot Turner, R-Holly Springs, answered that question in the livestock ring during the 2016 Legislative Showdown held at the Georgia National Fair in Perry Oct. 8. The showdown is an annual competition between members of the State Senate and House of Representatives, who partner for a day with experienced 4-H and FFA students who coach them on proper animal handling, showmanship and ring etiquette.
This year's student coaches were: Anna Bass (Elbert County 4-H), James Cagle (Morgan County 4-H), Jana Everett (Macon County 4-H), Trent Maddox (Jasper County 4-H), Elizabeth Mansour (Coweta County 4-H), Daisy Dawson (Habersham Central FFA), Emma Newberry (Oconee County FFA), Haley Pulsifer (Perry FFA), Maelynn Ruff (Elbert County FFA), and Leah Smith (North Hall FFA).
Sens. Elena Parent (D-Atlanta), John Kennedy (R-Macon), Butch Miller (R-Gainesville), Michael Rhett (D-Marietta), and Larry Walker (R-Perry), made up this year's senate team. Reps. James Beverly (D-Macon), Bruce Broadrick (R-Dalton), Bubber Epps (R-Dry Branch), Wes Cantrell (RWoodstock), and Scot Turner (R-Holly Springs), made up this year's house team.
The legislators were judged by two professional livestock judges, Benjamin Newberry and Fowler Branstetter, on the presentation of their animals, cleanliness of the animals and how well the animals cooperated with them.
Sen. John F. Kennedy (R-Macon) reviewed the lessons his student coach, Jana Everett, taught him prior to entering the ring.
"Keep your hands in place. Keep her head up. We're going to walk, and hopefully when we walk, she'll walk at a good pace. Stop in front of the judges. Her back leg should be in the most rearward position on the side that the judges are on. Her hooves should be kind of together. Did I get that right?" he asked Everett, who affirmed his understanding of ring procedure.
Turner, who's never shown livestock before, won top individual honors for his work with a commercial dairy heifer trained by 15-year-old Anna Bass of Bowman. Turner's fiveman team from the House won the day against five members of the Senate.
"He has no farm experience," said Turner's wife, Kelly, after the competition was through. "He was very nervous go-

ing into today, but he was very excited." Anna's mother, Laura Bass, said her daughter was also
excited by the opportunity to teach Turner the finer points of showing dairy cattle. Anna began showing lambs in the first grade and dairy heifers in the fourth grade.
"I think she has learned that if you don't put in the work at home, you're not going to have the results in the ring," Laura Bass said.
Carol Williams of Madison, president of the Georgia Dairy Youth Foundation, served as guest announcer for the competition. The foundation sponsors a commercial dairy heifer program that allows high school students to borrow heifers from local dairies to show. Anna Bass is a member of the Junior Board of Directors of the foundation, which had 14 calves in the show.
Ninety percent of the kids who participate in the loan program do not live on farms, Williams said.
"I've had kids keep calves in the backyard of their house inside a chain link fence," she said.
The experience of raising, training and showing a farm animal teaches youth the importance of a strong work ethic, time management and leadership skills, Williams said.
"I love to watch these kids develop," she said. "When we get them, a lot of times they look at their toes, and suddenly you see their shoulders come up and they look the judge in the eye. We've had several go on to get doctorates in agriculture. Several have gone on to be veterinarians, so it has taken some kids that might not have picked agriculture as a career and put them in agriculture."
The program also spreads the word about Georgia's dairy industry.
"We get the kid, and by teaching them about dairy and the dairy calf, we also teach the rest of their family, so that family spreads it and we're helping with the dairy industry as a whole."
While his team came in second in the competition, Kennedy considered the day a valuable learning experience. Aside from getting a better understanding of the differences between dairy and beef cattle, he also gained a greater understanding of, and appreciation for, Georgia's farm families.
"Farming operations are one of the unsung heroes, quite frankly, of not only our country but especially of Georgia, and agriculture is the biggest business we've got going on," Kennedy said. "Good families and good people."

HURRICANE

inspectors in Middle Georgia and those on the coast." Nearly 150 facilities were in the path of the storm, Murrah said, "Some of them already had host agreements with inland shelters that
could host their animals. Some of them did not and had to rely on us to set up pet-friendly shelters to bring their animals to during this disaster," he said.
Of the four pet-friendly shelters established to benefit hurricane evacuees, the largest was at the fairgrounds in Ware County, where 200 dogs were lodged. Murrah said 110 of those were evacuated from Glynn County Animal Services.
The fuel and measures division of the department, directed by Rich Lewis, contacted the Georgia Oilmen's Association and the Georgia Association of Convenience Stores ahead of the storm to remind them to put new caps on their underground storage tanks to prevent water from contaminating the supply. After the storm, the division inspected tanks located in areas that flooded.
"Luckily, people had heeded the warning and put new caps on their underground tanks," said Gary Kelley, inspector general for the department.
The department's response to the storm was led by Kelley and Venessa Sims, the department's emergency management director.
"We're blessed to have someone with the knowledge base that Venessa has, the experience that she has, the reputation she has around the state," Kelley said. "She has fostered good relationships and partnerships with folks around the state of Georgia."
Agriculture staff was present in the state's emergency operations center for the duration of the event, and Black visited on two different occasions to encourage the agriculture team and other state agencies coordinating the state's response to the event. Kelley even stepped up to serve as chief of state operations when the need for a new leader arose in the aftermath of the storm.
"It was a privilege and an honor to work with the state team," Kelley said. "It was a privilege to see how well the team comes together when the citizens of the State of Georgia are in need."

A bouquet of blue mist flowers and marigolds from Arty's Garden.
Arty's Garden:
Valued by some,
criticized by others
I value our native blue mist flower (Conoclinium coelestinum) for several reasons. Its purple-blue flowers are the perfect complement to the brassy marigolds and bright yellow goldenrods of fall, both in the garden and in bouquets. The fuzzy flowers are favorites of monarchs and other butterflies and also native bees.
I like blue mist flower, also known as wild or hardy ageratum, even though it can be an aggressive spreader. I have found it easy to control. It pulls up readily when it spreads or sows itself where it is not wanted.
Because it is so vigorous, you may consider planting it in a meadow garden or with other perennial plants of equal vigor and constitution. Good companions for it are obedient plant, cut-leaf coneflower, monarda, various mountain mints (Pycanthemum spp.), most goldenrods, swamp sunflower and anise-scented salvia. Planting things with similar growth habits next to each other is generally a good idea. Aggressive spreaders can compete without overwhelming each other and may even help keep each other in check. I would not plant any aggressive plant in a rock garden or where it would overshadow and out-compete shorter, slower growing plants.
The hardiness and spreading nature of blue mist flower make it a good choice for contained areas such as sidewalk planting strips, islands in parking lots and large planters. Blue mist flower also works in mixed plantings with shrubs such as Virginia sweetspire, American beautyberry and glossy abelia.
I have blue mist flower in my front garden and in my sidewalk strip. A neighbor recently asked me about it. I told him it was aggressive but I found it easy to control and said so in "Consumer Qs," the department's weekly questionand-answer column (http://agr.georgia.gov/1consumer-qs. aspx). One reader sent me a scathing assessment of blue mist flower calling it a "scourge" and "worse than Original Sin."
Well! Obviously there is some disagreement in the horticultural world over this plant. I'll admit that my garden is crammed to overflowing with other strong-willed plants that may help keep my blue mist flowers in check, but compared to the hundreds of sweet-autumn clematis, Chinese privet, alstroemeria and periwinkle plants I've had to dig and scrape out, blue mist flower seems like a 98-pound weakling. There is even a fungus that always kills some of mine every year.
