For all who have served, we give thanks. Veterans Day, Nov. 11, 2016 GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE GARY W. BLACK, COMMISSIONER WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2016 VOL. 99, NO. 23 COPYRIGHT 2016 In the wake of Hurricane Matthew: Flooding in Coastal Georgia raises concerns of potential pest problems The heavy rains and subsequent flooding caused by Hurricane Matthew in early October produced a bumper crop of mosquitoes on Georgia's Coast. The Georgia Department of Agriculture is advising coastal residents to be aware of the equally heavy threat that termites can pose during this time of repair and rebuilding. "This is a good time to ensure that the homes and buildings are protected against subterranean termites," said Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary W. Black. The winds and storm surge generated by Hurricane Matthew along the Georgia coast destroyed many homes and businesses, and damaged many more. Soil-applied termite treatments protecting those structures prior to the storm may also have been disturbed. Owners of damaged structures should contact the pest management company that applied the treatment prior to the storm to determine if retreatment is needed. Derrick Lastinger, program director of the department's structural pest division, said re-treatment will be needed if there is movement of the foundation or adjacent slabs such as patios or walkways. If repair work is done, soil in these areas should be treated. Any reconstruction of landscaping that disturbs the treated soil may also compromise the overall protection of the structure. If a termite baiting system was installed prior to the storm to protect the structure, then the pest management company that installed it should evaluate the condition of the stations and service them as needed. Flooding that compromises the treatment also compromises any warranty the pest control company offered at the time of service, Lastinger said. "This situation is unfortunate and neither the fault of the owner nor the pest management company," he said. He urged property owners to review their termite control contracts to determine who is responsible for the reestablishment of the termite protection, which should be listed under the "terms and conditions" within the contract. If retreatment is necessary and the home is covered under flood insurance, the retreatment costs might be covered under that policy. Consumers are urged to use licensed professional pest control companies. If a company is not licensed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture, it is illegal for them to practice termite control work. Consumers can find a list of all licensed professional pest management companies by visiting http://agr.georgia.gov/structural or by contacting the Structural Pest Section at 404.656.3641. The Georgia Department of Agriculture has identified the following pests that are of the utmost concern in the wake of Hurricane Matthew: Mosquitoes: Standing water is a major issue in the aftermath of a flood, as it provides the ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes. Residents should apply an insect repellant containing DEET, picaridin, IR3535 or oil of lemon eucalyptus when spending time outdoors to minimize the chance of being bit by a mosquito. Flies: Filth flies are attracted to spoiled food items and overflowing sewage, both of which are common in the wake of a flood. This type of fly often lays its eggs in rotting organic material. Sanitation is crucial to prevent a fly infestation in the home. Rodents: Rising waters force rodents nesting in sewer systems to seek refuge on higher ground. The delay in garbage pickup that many areas might experience from the flooding can attract rodents to the property. Homeowners should store trash in sealed plastic receptacles until clean-up is finished. Termites: Any wood that may have come in contact with water will be attractive to termites. Homeowners in flooded areas should contact a licensed pest control professional to inspect their properties for signs of damage to existing termite protection measures. Ants: Red imported fire ants form a ball that acts as a raft to survive floodwaters. People should be aware of these floating islands to avoid accidentally disturbing a nest, which could result in painful stings.

Nathan Deal speaks during the Willie B. Withers Sunbelt Ag Expo luncheon in Moultrie Oct. 18. "This continues to be a place that I look forward to visiting every year," Deal said. The Governor arrived at the expo two hours before the luncheon to stroll through the livestock barns and various exhibit halls. Among the most useful tchotchkes given out by the 1,200 exhibitors at the expo were handheld fans, which the Governor and hundreds of other luncheon attendees deployed against the gnats. "If you've not already done so, I urge you to visit the exhibit halls. As you visit those exhibit halls they're going to give you lots of paraphernalia, and sacks to put it in," Deal said. "I invite you to use those sacks to take as many of these gnats back home with you as you want. We are willing to share. We are a good neighbor." Read more about expo on Page 12. Mail to: Published by the Ga. Department of Agriculture Gary W. Black, Commissioner Discovery of New World screwworm in Florida prompts advisory to animal owners The Georgia Department of Agriculture is encouraging animal owners to carefully examine their pets and livestock for signs of screwworm. (Assistant State Veterinarian Dr. Janemarie Hennebelle explains the origins and symptoms of screwworm in a guest column on Page 6.) On Sept. 30, New World screwworm was found in wild deer and pets in the Florida Keys. New World screwworm has not been detected in Georgia. In an effort to protect the health of the Georgia Animal Industry and to safely maintain animal movement, the Georgia Department of Agriculture instituted special health requirements for animals moving from Florida into Georgia. Animal screwworm special import requirements apply only to animals exiting the Florida Keys traveling to Georgia to remain for a period of time. They do not apply to animals transiting Georgia without stopping. No permit number will be required. All animals leaving the Screwworm Quarantined Area in the Florida Keys and traveling to Georgia will be required to: Obtain a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI or Health Certificate) Provide the following veterinary statement on the CVI: "The animals listed on this Certificate of Veterinary Inspection have been examined by me and found to be free of Screwworm." Report suspicions or findings of screwworm to the Georgia Department of Agriculture by calling 404.656.3667 during business hours (8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday), or online using the Reportable Animal Disease Form found on the department's website at http://agr.georgia.gov/animalhealth.aspx.

They are pointed at one end and blunt at the other end with rings of brown spines around their bodies. Screwworms feed on living tissue rather than dead tissue like other flies. There are two main types of screwworms: New World and Old World. Old World screwworms are larvae of the Chrysomya bezziana fly and are not found in the Western Hemisphere. New World screwworms are caused by larvae of the fly Cochliomyia hominivorax and are normally found in tropical and semitropical areas of the Caribbean and South America. Other than isolated cases from imported animals, the United States has largely been free of self-sustaining New World screwworm populations since the 1960s. The Pest and Its Cycle Screwworms can infect any warm-blooded animal, including humans. Infestation occurs when a blowfly lands on the edge of a wound and deposits eggs. Larvae then enter the wound to feed for about five to seven days before dropping out of the wound onto the ground to continue development. The larvae bury into soil to pupate and emerge as flies from seven to 60 days later depending on warmth and humidity. Screwworms do not like freezing temperatures or extended periods of cold, dry weather. Once the flies emerge, the life cycle continues with males and females mating after about three to five days. Male flies will mate multiple times, but females usually mate only once. A male fly lives for about two weeks while a female can live anywhere from 10 to 30 days. Signs of Screwworm Myiasis (infestation) It is a good idea to observe your animals for wounds, particularly wounds that become infested with maggots. Screwworm larvae can enter wounds as small as a tick bite. It is common to find them around castration or dehorning sites, in the navels of newborn animals, in deer shedding velvet, etc. Wounds will often have an odor as well as a discharge that can be bloody. Owners may notice their animals have a decrease in appetite, wish to be alone and separate from a herd or other animals, have decreased milk production, or general discomfort. If you notice any of these signs, talk to your veterinarian and he or she can evaluate your animal for screwworm infestation. Get them checked early because an infestation that goes untreated can result in very poor health and even death for animals. Treatment and control Fortunately, screwworm infestations respond to treatment, especially when caught early. An effective option is to treat wounds over several days with an approved chemical that kills the larvae. Applying topical insecticides to animals may protect them against screwworms for a period of time. Treatment should be repeated to ensure that all larvae are killed and no re-infestation occurs. The best strategy is eradication of screwworm, something that is achievable, as demonstrated by earlier efforts in the United States that included releasing sterile flies so that mating cannot take place and the life cycle is interrupted. Through this process, the United States eradicated New World screwworms in this country by 1966. Now that they have returned to the Florida Keys, sterile flies are being released once again to eliminate this threat. A veterinarian who wants to rule out a screwworm infestation should remove larvae from wounds using tweezers and place them in alcohol. Then contact the state veterinarian's office and a veterinary medical officer will arrange submission of the larvae for identification.

Arty's Garden: Are you talking or are you listening? By Arty Schronce The notion of talking to plants to help them grow was so faddish in the mid-1970s it was practically expected: If you love plants you talk to them. My family ran a greenhouse and nursery back then, and I remember being asked about it constantly. We sold a lot of hanging baskets with petunias, geraniums and fuchsias that were popular gifts for Mother's Day. Sometimes customers would purchase them in advance and pick them up on the Saturday before. We marked these with the customer's first name. Upon seeing these tags, one customer exclaimed, "Oh, you must talk to your plants. I see you've given them names!" I almost felt a little ashamed to admit I didn't talk to plants. I loved plants, but even though the years twixt 12 and 20 were often lonely I never felt the need to get chatty with a geranium. I didn't think the geranium would get much out of it either. I thought more of the notion (also a fad at that time) that plants prefer one kind of music over another. A researcher conducted experiments on the effect of music on plants and concluded that playing various types of soothing music to plants was beneficial, while playing hard rock and dissonant music was detrimental. Since I disliked hard rock and gravitated to ballads and music on the softer and more melodic side, I thought that both plants and I had better taste than most of my classmates. It's easy to embrace a concept that aligns with your point of view. I even bought an album named "Music For Your Plants," which contained selections by Vivaldi, Mozart, Beethoven, Grieg, Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky. (Naturally, Tchaikovsky was represented by "Waltz of the Flowers" from his Nutcracker Suite.) I enjoyed the album, but I never got around to playing it for any plants. I lost interest somewhere in the second movement of Mozart's Clarinet Concerto. I think I had also begun to more fully realize that I had much more to gain by listening to my plants than by forcing them to listen to me, or even my music. Our tongues are not attached to our eyes, but our constant yacking does blind us at times. And the bombardment of music and news that was bad then is far worse now. I remember seeing actor and art lover Vincent Price discussing promising young artists on a television show many years ago. One artist was a young man who was deaf. Mr. Price showed one of his works and said that the young man often painted "listening" paintings, "paintings of people listening, listening to a flower. ..." Mr. Price cupped his hand to his ear to demonstrate. That image has stuck with me. I don't have much to say to my plants, at least not in words, but I am trying to listen. I think they have much to tell me. Arty Schronce is the department's resident gardening expert. Write to him at arty.schronce@agr.georgia.gov, or in care of the Market Bulletin. Crop insurance deadline nears in Georgia Pasture, rangeland, forage and apiculture producers need to make insurance decisions soon VALDOSTA The final date for Georgia forage, livestock and honey producers to apply for crop insurance coverage is Nov. 15. Current policyholders who wish to make changes to existing coverage also have until Nov. 15 to do so. Acreage intended for grazing and haying is insurable under the USDA's pasture, rangeland and forage program, and colonies of bees are insurable under the apiculture program. The PRF and apiculture programs for 2017 are under the rainfall index insurance plan. Crop insurance provides protection against a loss in production due to a natural peril such as drought. Coverage is available for PRF and apiculture in numerous Georgia counties. Information about these crop insurance programs and resources are available on the USDA Risk Management Agency's website. Producers and agents are encouraged to use this information to learn more about these programs and determine insurability. The federal crop insurance program includes more than 118,000 coverage options for 543 varieties of crops, nearly doubling from the roughly 64,000 different coverage options that were avail- able in 2009. The total crop insurance liability rose from $79.5 billion to $102.4 billion over the same period. USDA estimates that 85 percent of planted acreage for major crops is now covered by crop insurance, while 73 percent of planted acreage for eligible specialty crops is covered. The number of acres covered by crop insurance increased from 264.7 million for 2009 to 297 million for 2015. Coverage for fruit, vegetables and other specialty crops alone has grown from 7.7 million acres in 2009 to nearly 8.3 million acres in 2015. Producers are encouraged to visit their crop insurance agent soon to learn specific details for the 2017 crop year. A list of crop insurance agents is available at all USDA Service Centers and online at the Risk Management Agency Agent Locator. Producers can use the agency's cost estimator to get a premium amount estimate of insurance needs online.

Drought takes a toll: Southeastern cattle industry is suffering through a slump Persistent drought conditions are forcing cattlemen in North Georgia to make significant reductions to their herds. "I've been talking with a couple of cattlemen in Northwest Georgia and they have already started culling a fourth to a half of their herds because they're in such a bad drought situation," said Chris Prevatt, livestock and forage economist for the University of Florida. "A lot of them have been feeding hay since July and August. Hay supplies have been tight and they've had to make some hard decisions." Prevatt presented a beef cattle industry forecast for 2017 at the Sunbelt Ag Expo in Moultrie Oct. 19. The crowd applauded his presentation at the end, but one farmer qualified his praise with the disclaimer that it was for the messenger, not the message. From drought to falling prices, the news was not good. The U.S. Drought Monitor on Oct. 27 made note of deteriorating drought conditions in the Southeast, with North Georgia recording its driest 60-day period on record. Much of North Georgia now falls into the Extreme or Exceptional Drought categories, as defined by the U.S. Drought Monitor. Drought conditions are forecast to persist in the Southeast through next July, Prevatt said. This coming winter is also forecast to be warmer than normal. "Warmer than normal is not necessarily worse for us on the forage side of the situation, because we're going to get some temperatures that will allow us to grow some additional grass on some of those days that we wouldn't get the temperature high enough. The warmer than normal we can deal with, but the drier, that's going to be hurting us in the next six months," he said. On top of that, auction prices are trending downward, ending nearly seven years of gains. "At the top of this price cycle in the 2013 to 2015 time period we saw significant profits in the cattle industry," Prevatt said. "Currently we're in this downward price transition phase, and for a lot of people that's going to include some profits and losses, declining profitability overall. We've already started seeing that as these prices have significantly dipped lower. We're looking at 2018-2020 for that bottom of price cycle. There are some losses out there ahead of us unless there are some significant changes in the cattle industry going forward." Market prices for feeder calves have fallen from a high of $289 per hundredweight in 2014 to a current low of $124. "Now we're trading at a point we were at on Nov. 19, 2010," he said. Slaughter steers coming out of the feed lots are selling in the $100-$110 per hundredweight range. "Some of these feeder calves that are coming out of these stockyards are trading in about the same range as these slaughter animals that are coming out of the feed lot. Typically we don't see that," Prevatt said. It could be a sign that slaughter steer prices will decline over the next year, he said. Because the market is not expected to hit bottom for another two to three years, Prevatt suggested that cattlemen start adjusting their business plans now. "Overall the beef cattle industry in the Southeast is smaller compared to 2007. Just for example, in Georgia we have 80,000 head less today than we had in 2007," he said. Alabama has 14,000 fewer head, South Carolina has 28,000 fewer and Florida has 35,000 fewer. In 2015 and 2016, the herd expanded slightly. Florida added 9,000 head of cattle in that time frame, and Georgia added 26,000. In North Georgia and North Alabama, where drought conditions are extreme, Prevatt said he expects those numbers to be significantly lower by the end of January. "We really fell off a cliff there for the last year and a half. As we're still in this downward price transition, we have to manage our cost of production, our stocking rates," he said. "Our returns on variable cost are only $100 per head. That's really tight for those fixed costs for our barns, our machinery, equipment, our cow pens. How are we going to make that work? We've really got to work on managing our cost of production and get those costs lower as we move forward."
