Increased emphasis on biosecurity is reducing the spread of disease

Biosecurity is good for the chicken's soul. A statewide campaign designed to protect Georgia's valuable poultry flocks from Avian Influenza is having the added benefit of halting the spread of other avian diseases, as well. "Good biosecurity is important for every disease," said State Veterinarian Dr. Robert Cobb. Biosecurity is nothing more than consistent behavior modification. It's shielding other people from possible infection by coughing and sneezing into the crook of your elbow rather than your hands. Similar rules governing human interaction with poultry are helping to prevent the spread of disease among birds. "In the AI outbreak of 2015, a large part of the cause related directly to breaks in biosecurity," Cobb said. "Wild birds brought the disease in but it was spread by people." The AI virus can be transported on equipment, shoes and clothes. To keep it from reaching the flock those items must be contained and decontaminated. "It can be simple or complicated," Cobb said. "You establish a line and on one side of this line is the world and all that happens in it. On the other side of this line, you decide what's coming in and what happens to it." Last summer and fall, various entities involved in efforts to keep AI from infecting Georgia's poultry began urging grow-

ers to enact strict biosecurity measures on their farms. Since that time, reports of compliance have steadily increased, said Dr. Louise Dufour-Zavala, director of the Georgia Poultry Laboratory Network, which monitors the health of Georgia's poultry.
As compliance has increased, the incidence of all diseases has decreased. AI has not been detected in Georgia, but other poultry diseases have, such as Mycoplasma synoviae, a disease that is transmitted bird-to-bird like AI but is not usually fatal to them. Last year's push for increased biosecurity came during the third year of an ongoing outbreak of MS.
Between October and December 2015, the number of new

MS cases being diagnosed by the lab fell back to baseline (normal) levels, Dr. Zavala said.
"January 2016 is the first month without new MS cases in three years. The last month with zero cases was February 2013. In the absence of other factors to explain this trend, this is extremely exciting for the Georgia poultry industry and demonstrates the role of enhanced farm biosecurity in the control of diseases, even in the presence of high poultry density and high challenge," she said. "We are so, so proud of our companies and growers."
Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary W. Black said the lab's findings are proof that months of intense planning and preparation for the possibility of AI are paying off.
"Is that why we don't have AI? I don't know, but at least we'll be prepared," Black said.
In January, a fresh outbreak of AI occurred in Indiana, just 200 miles as the crow flies from Dalton, one of Georgia's biggest commercial poultry production centers. With the disease circling ever closer, consistent adherence to recommended biosecurity measures is crucial to protecting Georgia from an outbreak.
"We're in a new normal," Cobb said. Learn more about biosecurity online at www.allinallgone. com/the-georgia-poultry-federation

Women's Agricultural Leadership Summit seeks paths to power for women in agriculture

By Amy H. Carter
A riddle: A father and son are involved in a car accident and are both badly hurt. They are taken to separate hospitals. When the boy is taken in for an operation, the surgeon says, "I can't operate on this boy. He's my son." How can this be?
A reality: Loni Rikard is a farmer in Lexington, S.C. Because her name is Loni, customers who've never seen Rikard faceto-face assume that the owner of her farm is a man. When it comes time to do busi-

ness, many will ask to see her husband/ father/brother.
Just as the surgeon referenced in the riddle is the boy's mother, Rikard is the farmer of her land; her husband teaches small-engine repair to high school students, helping her on weekends and during his summer break when needed. While some may consider their situation unique, The Southern Region Women's Agricultural Leadership Conference held at the University of Georgia Feb. 8

Georgia Grown Profile: Thompson Farms grows fresh in the heart of Dixie

Andrew Thompson's roots are planted deep in the soil of South Georgia.
In the early 1930s, his grandfather, Raymond, established the family farm on 350 acres east of Boston down near the Georgia-Florida line, and cultivated produce for the area. In time, he took up hog-farming.
"My father was in the hog business before I was born. We've always had hogs," Thompson said.
The tremendous agriculture market upheaval of the 1980s prompted some soul-searching for the Thompsons, and a new business plan.
"We lost some hog buyers," Thompson said. "It was either get out of the business or ship them four or five states away."
That's when Thompson Farms added a smokehouse and began selling farm-raised pork products directly to consumers. They're an all-natural operation that still relies on the knowledge handed down by "Grandaddy Raymond" to butcher, smoke or salt-cure pork. About four years ago, the farm added a slaughter operation which they're expanding to in-

clude cows and goats. A farrow-to-finish hog operation that rais-
es hogs from birth and sustains them right on through to processing and packaging, Thompson Farms can honestly say they offer fresher meat than any grocery store. Society's growing emphasis on sourcing and consuming locally grown foods has helped their operation tremendously, Thompson said.
Thompson Farms offers online and phone ordering and ships its products anywhere there's a demand. In addition to farm-fresh bacon, sausage, center-cut pork chops and spare ribs, they offer jams and preserves, sauces and

syrups. Special packages such as the "Thompson's Breakfast Special" include smoked sausage links, country bacon, Thompson's Biscuit and Pancake mixes and Thompson's Peach Cobbler Syrup and Strawberry Jam.
"Being out in the country we can expand without any problems," Thompson said. "As long as the good Lord blesses us there's no telling how far we can go."
Being members of the Georgia Grown program has benefitted the farm by assuring consumers that they're getting fresh, local foods from local farms that invest their money in Georgia.
"Our labels have the Georgia Grown logo on them," he said. "We have a little gift bag, almost the size of a grocery bag, with our logo on one side and Georgia Grown on the other. If I didn't think highly of Georgia Grown I definitely wouldn't have it on the same bag as my name and logo."

Division seeks private land for
habitat expansion program
Looking for a new way to utilize your land? Want to get paid for it or benefit otherwise? Consider participating in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Voluntary Public Access/Habitat Incentive Program, coordinated by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources' Wildlife Resources Division.
"Hunters surveyed had high remarks for the first year of the VPA/HIP program in Georgia," said Region Operations Manager Don McGowan. "For this coming year, we want to further expand opportunities to more dove fields and other hunting or wildlife-related opportunities. In return, the landowner benefits financially and receives habitat-related technical guidance as well as on-theground habitat management where appropriate."
Georgia has a relatively small amount of public land compared to other states. In fact, nearly 93 percent of Georgia's land base is in private ownership. Through the VPA/HIP partnership between private landowners and public agencies, multiple parties will benefit.
Eligible landowners include private citizens, agricultural producers, timber companies and timber investment management organizations.
Objectives of the program are as follows: Meeting the increased demand from hunters for more public access to dove fields. VPA/HIP
funds would be used to enter into temporary lease agreements with private landowners and agricultural producers to provide public dove hunting managed by WRD. Initiating the Outdoor Heritage Recreational Access Program. Opportunities through OHRAP may be directed to specific segments of the public, such as minorities, youth, disabled or other special needs hunters as directed by the donor or specified by the agency. These lands may be used with additional partnership with such non-governmental organizations as Ducks Unlimited, National Wild Turkey Federation or others to donate an outdoor experience opportunity. Providing other wildlife-related outdoor recreational opportunities such as fishing and bird watching.
Furthermore, in the spirit of one of the VPA/HIP desired national outcomes, WRD field staff will offer wildlife habitat technical assistance to enrolled private landowners.
How do you start the process of participation? Visit the Georgia Wildlife Resources Division website at www.georgiawildlife.com/Hunting/Resources/VPAHIP and print the application/bid sheet. All required information including submission date is available on the form.
For more information visit www.georgiawildlife.com/Hunting/Resources/VPAHIP.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has announced the establishment of the Natural Resources Conservation Service Wetland Mitigation Banking Program, made possible by the 2014 Farm Bill. Through the program, NRCS will provide $9 million to help states, local governments or other qualified partners develop wetland mitigation banks that restore, create or enhance wetland ecosystems, broadening the conservation options available to farmers and ranchers so they can maintain eligibility for other USDA programs.
"Over the past seven years, USDA has worked with private landowners to enroll a record number of acres in conservation practices, and we are seeing significant reductions in nutrient runoff and greenhouse gas emissions. Wetland Mitigation Banks will give farmers and ranchers more conservation options so they can find the best solution for their land and circumstances and produce even more results," Vilsack said.
NRCS is seeking applications from eligible third-parties to develop wetland mitigation banks or modify existing banks to better serve agricultural producers. These third-parties include federally recognized Indian tribes, state and local units of government, for-profit entities and nongovernmental organizations.
USDA is now accepting project proposals for this program. Proposals are due to NRCS before 5 p.m. EST on March 28, 2016. The announcement and associated forms for this funding opportunity can be found at www.grants.gov.
Wetland mitigation banking is a market-based approach that involves restoring, creating or enhancing wetlands in one place to compensate for unavoidable impacts to wetlands at another location. Wetland mitigation banking is commonly used to compensate for wetland impacts from development but can also be used to offset impacts from agriculture. A small number of banks have been developed in the U.S. specifically to assist agriculture, and the mitigation banks established under this program will be used to help agricultural producers who need to mitigate wetland losses to maintain eligibility for USDA programs.
The maximum award provided through this announcement is up to $1 million. This funding may be used to cover the administrative and technical costs associated with the development of a wetland mitigation bank or banking program. Funding may not be used to purchase an easement or any other interest in land.
Partners will develop, operate and manage the wetlands mitigation banks with technical oversight from NRCS, and will market mitigation credits to farmers and ranchers. Credits must be made available to producers within two years after the agreement is signed.
NRCS is prioritizing funding to locations that have a significant known wetland compliance workload. These locations include the Prairie Pothole Region, California Vernal Pool Region, Nebraska Rainwater Basin Region, and other areas that have significant numbers of wetlands compliance requests. Priority will also be given to applications based on the speed with which mitigation credits can be made available to agricultural producers.
Learn more about NRCS conservation programs online or visit your local USDA service center.

Guest Column: Our Journey into Aquaponics

By Nalini Isaac
My husband, Vimal, and I are both interested in sustainable living. Many years of enjoying ornamental Koi in our backyard pond gave Vimal valuable hands on experience with fish, which led to a passion for aquaculture.
I love gardening (not yard work!) and always had a desire to grow nutritious, pesticide-free food for our family and to share with others. Back in 1997, soon after moving to Georgia, I took the "Master Gardener" course and was real proud to have passed it. However my job and other responsibilities did not allow me the volunteer time to become a "Master Gardener."
In 2009 Vimal began designing a "Net Zero" house for our retirement. His research into sustainable living
Nalini and Vimal Isaac
options led him to aquaponics, which was actively promoted by the Australian government. Considerable research by James Rakocy, PhD, was also being carried out at the University of the Virgin Islands. Upon retirement and after extensive reading and research, Vimal decided to set up an aquaponics system in our backyard. He attended several meetings at Fort Valley State University on aquaculture and linked up with a group of like-minded people.
In May of 2014 we set up our first fish tank and three grow beds. Vimal was given 17 small tilapia from the Fort Valley aquaculture set up. Over many long days, Vimal used his design background (he is an architect and a LEED AP) to build out our small system, including all the plumbing and pumps. He designed an automated system of "flood and drain" using Bell Siphons to control the drain. He is currently working with a programmer to design an automated monitoring app to monitor the various components of the system.
We used lava rock and experimented with broken stone (granite chips) as our media in the first grow beds. With much enthusiasm, we planted our first set of plants which included tomatoes, pepper and okra, basil and cucumber, pineapple, papaya and so forth.
We were thrilled to have our fish spawn in June 2014, and were amazed at the yield from our aquaponic plants. Plants from the same batch, planted in the ground, were at least 30 percent less productive than their aquaponic siblings. I loved the fact that there was no watering or weeding, just careful pruning with creative supports for the plants. Since our grow beds are raised, we had the luxury of harvesting at eye level. We practiced organic pest control and judiciously used neem oil extract and soap to deter adventurous pests.
Gung-ho from our experience we decided it was time to learn from the pros. In August we dug into our savings and paid big bucks to attend an Aquaponics Conference in Denver. Our learning continues daily. In late September we got to eat our first "farm-to-table"

meal with fresh tilapia from our first batch of fish and a colorful supporting cast of AP grown veggies. It was out of this world and we were well and truly hooked.
Aquaponics is so amazing; it opened our eyes to many applications. From a desire to give back and share this wonderful technology, we are in the process of setting up a 501c3 non-profit called Teach a man.fish
Our two-plus years in aquaponics has taught us practical ways to modify our system. We have gained experience and wisdom on what to do and what not to do. We now have five fish tanks and around 350 fish. This year we envision the real possibility of dining on our fresh fish on a weekly basis and on our AP produce daily.
As we began to share our story, we had several people visit with hopes of building their own systems. In May 2015 we built and set up a pilot aquaponics educational system at the Warner Robins Nature Center for their Earth Fest. Later a friend shared the world of aquaponics with a buddy, who just happened to be the Mayor of Milan in Dodge County. They excitedly discussed the possibilities of setting up a "Demonstration and Teaching Aquaponics" unit in Milan. In due course, Mayor Jimmy Kirkland made a commitment to pay for all the components of the unit and also provided a building and green house to house the system. Fish were provided by the Fort Valley State University and plants were donated by many of us.
Vimal, applying the mission of "Teach a man.fish," provided the design, material lists with specifications and a time line for the project. He was on site for several days, providing hands on labor and technical assistance to the volunteers who came out to build the system. Fortunately, we had a motivated, hardworking group with construction skills. With site preparation and erecting the green house, the system was built out in just five days. It was opened to the public on Aug. 17 under the name "Milan Aquaponics." The plants and fish are thriving and the system is performing better than our expectations. Thrilled by the outcome, the mayor is sharing the story with other leaders and has had a string of high profile community leaders visit the project.
Since the project opened there have been many requests for information, resources and training made by community members interested in aquaponics. There are aquaponic training opportunities out there. However, the courses are geared to commercial growers with a price tag of several thousand dollars to participate in the training.
This is a major deterrent for people interested in learning about small-scale aquaponics, whether they are starting a back yard system; building urban community systems for food banks; providing employment, income, therapeutic and rehabilitation opportunities for veterans/individuals with disabilities/seniors; or piloting small commercial farming operations.
To address these requests, a collaborative group of aquaponics enthusiasts and the Georgia Aquaponics Association are preparing to host a series of affordable workshops to provide knowledge and support for would-be aquaponians. The workshops will have an introductory session of four hours, followed by an advanced class lasting three days.
The first workshop is scheduled from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, April 2, at the Municipal building in Milan. There is a nominal registration charge of $25 to cover costs including light refreshments. For more information, contact:

Georgia Department of Agriculture is taking applications for the 2016 Specialty Crop Block Grant Program
The Georgia Department of Agriculture is pleased to announce the competitive solicitation process to award the 2016 Specialty Crop Block Grant. The Specialty Crop Block Grant Program funds projects that "enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops." Specialty crops are defined as: fruits, vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits, horticulture, Christmas trees, turf grass/sod, nursery and greenhouse crops, including floriculture. Please see the specific listing of all eligible crops at www.ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0/scbgp.
The United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Marketing Service will make grant funding available. Georgia's share will be approximately $1 million this year.
"The goal of this grant program is to help fund projects that can produce the highest degree of measurable benefits to Georgia's specialty crop producers in relation to each dollar spent," said Agriculture Commissioner Gary W. Black. "We encourage organizations such as IRS-designated non-profits, commodity commissions, associations, state and local government entities and colleges and universities to consider applying."
Note that USDA-AMS rules state that grant funds will not be awarded for projects that solely benefit a particular commercial product or provide a profit to a single organization, institution or individual. Single organizations, institutions and individuals are encouraged to participate as project partners with eligible entities.
"The process is slightly different this year in that we will take Concept Proposals for review. By March 4th, those who have the strongest Concept Proposals will be invited to submit a full application. Once finalized, each application will be carefully reviewed and evaluated by a Review Committee sometime in June," said Jeanne Maxwell, director of grants for GDA. "Then, all departmentapproved projects will be combined and written as one grant submission to the USDA/AMS. Upon approval from USDA we will notify applicants of their status, which we expect to be in September 2016."
Please refer to the links available on the GDA grants webpage located at www.agr.georgia.gov/grants.aspx for the Concept Proposal/pre-application form and additional information. For additional questions please contact Jen Erdmann at Jen.Erdmann@agr. georgia.gov or 404.586.1151.
School districts are invited to apply for the Department of Agriculture's Feed My School for a Week Program
The Georgia Department of Agriculture is accepting new applications for school districts interested in participating in this year's "Feed My School for a Week" program in Georgia.
Feed My School first launched in 2011 with a goal to help bridge the gap in the nutritional value and quality of food served in Georgia schools, while providing more farm-to-cafeteria opportunities. The end result will be healthier Georgia students, decreased barriers in farm to school efforts and increased awareness as students learn and experience, both educationally and nutritionally, where their food comes from. This will be the fifth year of the program.
"Not only does Feed My School for a Week allow students to learn about where their food comes from, but also how it is grown here in Georgia and the process of how it ends up on your plate," Black said. "It is about offering fresh, healthy Georgia Grown foods that are locally produced while raising awareness about nutrition."
In addition to new school systems participating in the program this year, GDA plans to continue working with previous participants for the next three years. During this time, last year's participating counties will continue building their farm-to-school approaches, illustrating sustainable farm-to-cafeteria efforts while continuing to identify needs and best practices.
Previous schools include: Norman Park Elementary in Colquitt County; Wauka Mountain Elementary in Hall County; Bleckley County Elementary in Bleckley County; Southside Elementary in Grady County; West Chatham Elementary in Chatham County; Skyview Elementary in Bibb County; Sharon Elementary in Forsyth County; and Colbert Elementary in Madison County.
Applications can be found at www.feedmyschool.com and are due April 3. If you are interested in nominating your school for the program, have your nutritional director contact Misty Friedman at Misty.Friedman@agr.georgia.gov. To learn more about the program, visit www.feedmyschool.com.

Arty's Garden:
Bletilla the Thrilla, an
orchid anyone can grow
By Arty Schronce
I have not had any luck with indoor orchids. It has been years since I have attempted any, so it is about time for me to try again. (Perhaps I will receive one for Valentine's Day....) In the meantime I will focus on my success with an outdoor orchid that is easy to grow and is just as beautiful, if not more so, than its hothouse cousins.
I am referring to the bletilla orchid (Bletilla striata). I have had many years of good luck with it. It is sometimes called the hardy ground orchid and Chinese ground orchid, which are appropriate, albeit boring, names. It is winter hardy, native to China (also Japan, Korea and Myanmar) and grows in the ground, but it deserves to be known by the more poetic bletilla epithet. Sometimes I call it "Bletilla the Thrilla."
Bletilla orchid offers rosy purple/orchid flowers, pleated foliage that turns an attractive yellow in the fall and seed pods that look like miniature Zeppelins. Despite the resemblance to its tropical kin, bletilla orchid is fully hardy throughout Georgia.
Bletillas prefer partial shade and soil that has been amended with organic matter. They are a good companion for azaleas and rhododendrons and work well with other shade-loving perennials such as Lenten rose and other hellebores, hostas, rohdea, ferns and hardy begonias.
There are white-flowered varieties and ones that vary in the amount and depth of the purple. One variety has leaves rimmed in white. There are some hybrids as well as a yellow-flowered species (Bletilla ochracea). All these are less readily available and more expensive, but I hope to try them one day.
Look for bletilla orchids in the perennial section of your local garden center this spring. You may also find the bulbs (technically pseudobulbs) in catalogs or inside along with packages of other summer bulbs.
Plant one and prepare to be thrilled.

Notice

County: ______________________________________________________ Farm name:___________________________________________________

Due to the recent finding of H7N8 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in Indiana on January 14, 2016, and in an effort to minimize the risk of introduction of HPAI into our Georgia poultry flocks, effective immediately and until further notice, all Georgia Organic and Free Range Poultry Producers must implement the following:
All poultry with outside access must be moved into biosecure housing immediately. If this is not possible, Georgia Department of Agriculture should be notified.
Implement strict biosecurity on these premises. Alert all company personnel, growers, farm workers and service personnel of the increased risk of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI). Especially focus biosecurity methods on preventing any exposure to wild waterfowl or their droppings.
Monitor all flocks for increased mortality or clinical signs consistent with Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), and report any concerns immediately.
The consistent clinical sign in all the current reported cases to this point has been a marked rapid increase in mortality over several days.
Please contact the HPAI HOTLINE for reporting or for questions related to HPAI.

Classroom series addresses the application of auxin herbicides to auxin-tolerant crops

Cotton and soybean varieties with tolerance to auxin herbicides (2,4-D or dicamba) are nearing commercialization. Prior to making applications of dicamba to dicamba-tolerant cotton/ soybean or 2,4-D to 2,4-D-tolerant cotton/soybeans in Georgia, growers will be required to attend the training, "Using Pesticides Wisely," offered by the University of Georgia and the Georgia Department of Agriculture.
The training will focus on helping applicators/growers make wise decisions when applying not only 2,4-D and dicamba but all pesticides. Growers are strongly encouraged to bring their applicators with them. Attendance is suggested for all on-farm applicators to confirm that they are educated in best management practices when applying all pesticides.
The Georgia Department of Agriculture has approved this classroom training to meet the training requirement for 2,4-D and dicamba use on auxin-tolerant agronomic crops. For more information please contact the Georgia Department of Agriculture, Ag Inputs Section, at 404.656.4958.
Growers who attended training during 2015 as registered participants are not required to attend the meetings again but may if they choose. More than 1,000 Georgia growers completed the required training last year. A survey of participants found that 99 percent of these growers felt the training was worth their time and 98 percent of them felt the training would help them increase on-target pesticide applications.
If you have questions concerning your 2015 registration, please contact your local county extension office.
For growers who have not attended this

training, options for 2016 are provided here. Select a time/location and RSVP to the specific location for attendance. The required trainings will cover a 2- to 2 -hour time period and will provide pesticide credit. Snacks and drinks will be provided.
