Former Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue takes the helm at USDA

Washington, D.C. Former Georgia Gov. George Ervin "Sonny" Perdue III was sworn in as the 31st U.S. Secretary of Agriculture by fellow Georgian and Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court Clarence Thomas in a brief ceremony April 25 at the Supreme Court building. The U.S. Senate confirmed Secretary Perdue by a vote of 87-to-11 the evening before. After Secretary Perdue took the oath of office, he addressed employees at the U.S. Department of Agriculture before getting to work on his first day.
"The only legacy that I seek is the only one that any grandparent or parent seeks to be good stewards, and to hand off our nation, our home, our fields, our forests and our farms to the next generation in better shape than we found it," Secretary Perdue said. "Making sure that Americans who make their livelihoods in the agriculture industry have the ability to thrive will be one of my top priorities. I am committed to serving the customers of USDA, and I will be an unapologetic advocate for American agriculture."
Georgia Department of Agriculture Commissioner Gary W. Black traveled to Washington to attend Perdue's swearing in ceremony.
"We are very pleased that the confirmation process is complete and now the real work can begin," Commissioner Black said. "We look forward to working with Secretary Perdue as he focuses fully on the issues and concerns currently facing the agricultural community."
U.S. Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga., a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, presided over the vote to confirm his first cousin.
"As Secretary of Agriculture, my cousin has a big job," Sen. Perdue said. "I look forward to working with him as a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee to make our agriculture, farming and ranching industries vigorous and strong now, and for future generations."
Capping a busy first day on the job, Secre-

tary Perdue joined President Donald J. Trump for a "Farmers Roundtable" at the White House, where Trump signed an executive order establishing an Interagency Task Force on Agriculture and Rural Prosperity. American Farm Bureau President Zippy Duval of Greensboro joined Secretary Perdue and more than a dozen farmers and other members of the agriculture community to discuss a variety of topics, including agricultural trade, regulatory reform, rural investment and infrastructure, labor issues and the Farm Bill.
"The Farmers Roundtable provided the chance for the President to hear directly from the people on the front lines of American agriculture about what they are dealing with every day," Secretary Perdue said. "By hosting this discussion, the President has demonstrated his awareness of the plight of American farmers, ranchers, foresters, and producers, his intention

Fred Barnes of Tifton is many things husband, father, grandfather, retired agricultural researcher, gardener and pen maker. He is also a giver who likes to stay busy.
Barnes, 75, retired from the University of Georgia Coastal Plain Experiment Station after 36 years.
"I worked with a lot of different crops," he said. "I enjoyed the plant variety tests best."
Barnes came to the Market Bulletin's attention through a photograph of him holding a perfect cluster of sweet potatoes.
"My father grew sweet potatoes. I've been around them all my life. I love to eat them, and I love to grow them. I think my wife and I eat more sweet potatoes than any two people in Tift County," he said.
When asked his secret for sweet potato success, Barnes shared, "They need to be set in a

bed with a lot of soft soil. I dug one clump with 19 in it without separating them. That tells you my soil is soft."
His years of variety trials at the research station left him with an appreciation of velvet beans, a running bean with fuzzy pods often used as a cover crop to add nutrients to the soil or as a fodder crop.
"A lot of people used to plant them with corn. They look like kudzu. I probably picked and grew more velvet beans than anyone around here. I sold many a velvet bean through the Market Bulletin. Smaller amounts we mailed. Those wanting large amounts would come pick them up. One man bought 20 bushels at one time," he said.
The seeds of velvet beans contain L-Dopa, or Levodopa, which is used to treat Parkinson's Disease. Scientists synthetically produce LDopa today.
Barnes still grows some velvet beans. "I'm trying to keep the seed of them," he

said. Barnes cultivates two garden spots with
a 50-year-old tractor, purchased through the Market Bulletin, as well as a fence row planted with various crops. Depending on the season, his garden may contain cabbage, rutabagas, Irish and sweet potatoes, onions, broccoli, garlic, squash, bell pepper, string beans, okra, wa-

Field Notes:
We're from the government,
and we're here to help you
By Amy H. Carter
Editor
I was a 23-year-old newspaper reporter with two years on the job the first time I asked an emergency first responder how he coped with memories of the miseries he witnessed on a near daily basis. His name was Jesse, and he was a deputy fire chief for rescue services. A bear of a man at least 10 years my senior, Jesse stared through me for what felt like an eternity before he put his head in his hands and sobbed. It was the kind of soulshaking cry that makes your ribs sore. That was a cruel day in April many years ago, after we'd both done our respective duties at the fiery scene of a commuter plane crash that claimed 23 souls, including a former U.S. Senator and his daughter from Texas, a NASA shuttle astronaut from Warner Robins, and a nine-year-old boy named Brian, who was flying from Atlanta with his sister, Laura, 6, to spend spring break with their grandparents at the beach. They died two miles from their destination. It was another cruel day this past April that prompted me to ask that question of an emergency aid giver for just the second time in my career. It was on the tip of my tongue to ask Jessie Murray as we stood stroking the lice-infested mane of a three-year-old filly named C.J., who was steadily munching hay while suspended in a sling secured by heavy chains affixed to the trusses of the Georgia Department of Agriculture's Impound Barn in Mansfield. C.J. was one of several horses surrendered by a neglectful owner in Putnam County just four days earlier. Jessie stayed with C.J. until 8 o'clock the night before my visit, worrying that the horse would not survive. C.J. went down while grazing in the sun around 4 o'clock that afternoon and would not (or could not) rise again on her own, hence the sling. At the time, C.J. weighed just 480 pounds, about 400 pounds less than she should. Her former owner was literally starving her to death. The image of her hip bones, ribs and legs a skeleton upholstered in hide, basically haunts me still. Jessie, who has worked in the Equine Program for seven years, sees this on a regular basis. How does she come back smiling, day after day? Two weeks after leaving Mansfield, I finally mustered the courage to ask her via email. "Unfortunately we don't save them all. Sometimes they don't make it," she wrote back. "It is devastating. It does take a toll on me personally, because I treat every horse that comes through the door as if they were my own horse. If there is a possibility of saving these horses within our capabilities and means (donated means), we do all we can for them. I have to know that I did all I could for them, and I have to know they are no longer suffering. I guess I look to the next horse that needs our help and that keeps me concentrated on what they need now." I've been a state employee for two years, one month and 24 days as of this printing, and I'm still surprised almost daily at the reality of government work as compared to how I perceived it as an outsider. Government workers like newspaper reporters get a bum rap sometimes. I'll take my lumps for my own performance on both fronts, but people like Jessie put the civility in the title "civil servant." A grateful horse can't say thank you or write a letter to Jessie's boss praising her willingness to go the extra mile to save his life, and yet she persists. That's good people.

termelons, pumpkins, sweet corn, a little sugar cane, peanuts and "lots of tomatoes." "Someone said it's cheaper to buy vegetables at the grocery store than to grow them
yourself. That may be true if you're buying for one or two people, but you don't get to share. I wouldn't have the joy of giving if I did that," he said.
Barnes especially likes to share with those who can't grow their own. He doesn't spend all his time in the garden, though. Helping his brother cut down a leaning sycamore that was endangering the house led to a new pursuit and a new opportunity to give. The brothers gave the wood to a local wood turning club who, in turn, invited them to their meetings. That's where Barnes learned about woodworking and began making wooden pens. He has made bowls and vases, but admitted "pens are my thing." He has worked with black cherry, persimmon, dogwood, pear and apple wood. He also rescues wood from old buildings that are slated for demolition. He recycled mahogany from an old church and oak from an old school that was torn down. "Now people have pens made of wood they walked on as young people," he said. He's also made pens from tobacco sticks the pieces of wood that tobacco was hung on to cure. He sells some and gives some away. He started giving them to the women at church for their birthdays, but things progressed and now he has given a pen to everyone at his church. "I always have to have something to do. Like they say, `Idle hands and minds are the devil's workshop,'" he said. "If the Lord lets me work until the day I die, it would be great."

Arty's Garden:
Learning from the robins

By Arty Schronce arty.schronce@agr.georgia.gov

Robins built a nest in the camellia, or perhaps I should say the remains of the camellia,

at the end of the porch. The camellia was there when I moved into the house, and I've never

liked it. Its flowers are those jumbled types with stamens sticking out in various places.

I pruned it mercilessly over the years. Now it

looks like a camellia lollipop a mass of leaves

atop a barren trunk. I had plans of whittling it

away entirely and planting something else.

The robins nested there again this year any-

way, just as they have several times before. They

win. The camellia stays. If I can't appreciate its

flowers, I appreciate the robins.

I didn't notice when they actually started

building, but even though there wasn't much of

a canopy, the birds found a perfect foundation of

branches and enough leaves to conceal the nest

from full view.

Robin nests are masterfully constructed of

mud, twigs, grass, plant fibers and occasionally

manmade materials. People who have never seen

a nest recognize "robin's egg blue" as a color

similar to one of those prized boxes from Tiffany

& Co.

A nest so close can be an inconvenience. I

had to stay out of the porch swing, speak in quiet

tones and move slowly when I was near. I put

off repairing the porch spigot. A plumber would

be too disruptive. I used another source to water plants and fill birdbaths. Robins are worth the inconvenience, however. I love them. They were among the first birds I learned as a child. When

One of last year's crop of robins, photographed shortly after it left the nest in April of 2016.

I created my first vegetable garden in 1972, a

robin came almost within reach, like a pet, waiting for me to turn up an earthworm. That

familiarity along with its distinctive appearance (rust breast and charcoal back) and hab-

its (industrious, brave and vocal) has brought the robin flocks of admirers. Connecticut,

Michigan and Wisconsin named it their state bird.

I especially enjoy watching robins patrol lawns and gardens. They are the personification

of the early bird getting the worm, as they start before the crack of dawn. They alternatively

hop like little feathered kangaroos or stroll rapidly, moving both legs before abruptly stop-

ping like a wind-up toy. They cock their heads to the side as if listening for something. This

has to do with their monocular vision and

nothing to do with their hearing, however.

And they are pros at spotting worms and

bugs. I spent several hours quietly watching

both parents bring meals to the three nest-

lings. They landed and launched about every

four minutes. Each landing would bring a

chorus of chirps. It was like watching a song-

bird version of the Berlin Airlift.

On April 25 they took wing. When I came

home at lunch, two had already flown and one

stood on the rim of the nest ready to launch it-

self into the post-nest world.

Robins, however friendly, are still wary

of humans, especially when nesting. My pair

eyed me suspiciously every time I appeared.

How little did they know I was changing my

life to accommodate them, including haul-

ing gallons of water from inside the house to

make sure they had a ready supply for drink-

This photo was were taken several years ago behind the Georgia Department of Agriculture building. The nest was in a flowering cherry growing at the base of an embankment.

ing and bathing. Some of their nest materials were clippings I scattered around the garden for birds to use. I even placed a half-eaten strawberry nearby and watched the mother gobble it down.
Of course, I didn't expect thanks from a

wild animal. I had my rewards, though. I also had a lesson. How often have I been oblivious

to the care and protection of God and others parents, teachers and people whose names I

never knew. Robins remind me I am the one who should say thanks.

Cook Georgia Grown: Shrimp and Grits

May 10th is National Shrimp Day. Shrimp is Georgia's most valuable seafood crop, but Georgia shrimpers are a dying breed. The Coastal Resources Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources issues fewer than 300 commercial licenses per year to fishermen seeking to trawl for white and brown shrimp along Georgia's 100-mile coastline. In the past, as many as 500 trawlers worked the sounds and state waters up to three miles off the coast. In the 1970s, a year's haul could exceed six million shrimp. Today's average annual harvest is down by half or more, due largely to farm-raised imports. Support a Georgia shrimper. Buy Georgia-grown shrimp. -Amy H. Carter, editor

Ingredients: 1 cup course ground Gayla's
Grits* 4 cups chicken broth 2 Tbsp. butter 1/2 tsp. pepper 8 oz. smoked Gouda 1 large Vidalia onion, chopped 2 Tbsp. Georgia Olive Farms Olive
Oil** 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. sugar 1 lb. large Georgia white shrimp,
peeled and deveined 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 stick butter, melted 2 Tbsp. fresh rosemary, chopped Directions: For the grits, bring the chicken broth, butter and pepper to a boil. Add the grits to the broth mixture

and cook covered over low to medium heat for one hour, stirring frequently. Add water of a cup at a time as needed during the cooking to keep the grits from sticking. During the last 15 minutes of cooking, add the cheese to the grits and stir to allow it to dissolve into the grits. This part alone is creamy delicious comfort food. For the onions, place the olive oil in a skillet over low to medium heat and add the Vidalia onion, salt and sugar. Cook for 20 minutes until caramelized. For the shrimp, spread the shrimp on a greased baking sheet. Melt the butter and mix in the garlic and rosemary. Pour the butter mixture over the shrimp and roast the shrimp in a 400 degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes.

To serve, ladle the grits into 4 large serving bowls and top with equal portions of the onions. Place equal portions of the shrimp around the edges of the bowls.

Georgia corn growers approve continued assessment on corn
Georgia corn growers voted their overwhelming support of continuation of the assessment of one cent per bushel of corn for the Georgia Agriculture Commodity Commission for Corn. The voting for the market order was conducted from March 15 to April 14 and was reaffirmed by a 93.5 percent favorable vote.
The market order for corn requires a vote by producers every three years for continuation. Funds received by the Georgia Agriculture Commodity Commission for Corn are used for research, education and promotion projects for corn.
The Georgia Agriculture Commodity Commission for Corn was established in 1995 by the Georgia General Assembly and has continued to support important projects for Georgia corn growers in the areas of fertility, insects, diseases, hybrid evaluation, hybrid development, aflatoxin research, extension and education on production practices.
Corn grown in Georgia is utilized in Georgia to manufacture ethanol for fuel and as a feed ingredient for poultry and other animals. Corn is an important crop for rotation with the other row crops grown in Georgia, such as cotton and peanuts.

to seek input, and his determination to help." The order states, in part, that "it is in the national interest to promote American agriculture
while protecting and supporting the rural communities where food, forestry, fiber and renewable fuels are grown. It is further in the national interest to ensure that regulatory burdens do not unnecessarily encumber agricultural production, constrain economic growth, hamper job creation, or increase the cost of food for Americans and our customers around the world."
Secretary Perdue, who was born into a farming family in Bonaire and has worked in various sectors of agriculture and agribusiness, served as the 81st Governor of Georgia from 2003 to 2011.
"As secretary, I will champion the concerns of farmers, ranchers, foresters and producers, and will work tirelessly to solve the issues facing our farm families," he said. "I am proud to have been given this opportunity and look forward to rolling up my sleeves and getting to work as we continue to move the USDA and our nation forward."

Wayback Wednesday:
High Cotton
On April 27, 1955, the Market Bulletin called attention to Georgia's "champion" cotton stalk on display in the museum of the Georgia State Capitol in Atlanta. Calling it "the largest cotton stalk ever produced," the specimen measured 6 ft. wide, stood 6 ft., 10 in. tall and contained 715 bolls. It was grown in Milton County (now north Fulton County) in 1911.
On June 8, the paper reported that George E. Meriwether of Montgomery, Ala., challenged Georgia's claim and submitted a photo of himself holding a portion of a stalk grown in 1850 on the plantation of P.A. Wray, Esq., of Montgomery. The Alabama stalk bore 1,000 bolls of cotton and grew to be 20 feet high.

Athens Technical College students lend a hand to rehabilitate horses
School donates vaccinations to equine impound barn in exchange for experience providing animal care
By Amy H. Carter amy.carter@agr.georgia.gov

If horses are inclined to think they're all that and a bag of carrots, C.J. must certainly have been feeling it April 14. With the sun shining on her back, a copse of Bermuda grass under her nose, and no fewer than 10 hands brushing, petting and pampering her from mane to tail, C.J. was queen of the day. If she was feeling it, it was an elation that was long overdue.
C.J., a three-year-old filly, was delivered to the Georgia Department of Agriculture's Impound Barn in Mansfield just four days prior. She was one of several horses surrendered to Putnam County Animal Control by a neglectful owner facing criminal charges. C.J. weighed 480 pounds, about 400 pounds less than is healthy for a horse her size and age.
The timing of her arrival was fortuitous, as it occurred days before the 2017 class of Athens Technical College's Veterinarian Technician Program visited Mansfield for some hands-on application of their education. Under the guidance of Barn Manager Jessie Murray and Program Chair Dr. Carole Miller, the students vaccinated every barn cat, donkey and horse they could safely capture.
"We have done this every year since the program's inception," said Miller, who recently retired as program chair. The veterinary technician program began in 2001. It is a 21-month course that teaches students to perform a highly skilled set of duties to assist small and large animal veterinarians. Graduates of the program must pass a national exam and obtain state licensure before working in the field. Athens Technical College admits 18 students per class. Those students must go through a competitive admission process to gain admittance.
Veterinary technicians essentially act as nurses in the veterinarian's office. They can draw blood, perform lab tests, take x-rays, assist in surgery and prepare patients for surgery, apply bandaging and splints anything a veterinarian can provide orders and immediate supervision to do is within a vet tech's scope of work, Miller said. Starting salaries are nearing $30,000 per year outside Atlanta, and Miller said she encourages her colleagues to pay a decent wage when recruiting technicians.
"If we're going to be good veterinarians, we need good technicians beside us to do

that, so it's really a career choice," Miller said. "It's a less extensive amount of time to train, so you have less college expense. You get out and do it quicker and you really have more hands-on time with the animals because you're the one providing the nursing care."
That is a great help to Murray, who usually has just one other set of hands available to draw blood, vaccinate and test newcomers to the rehabilitation center she runs on behalf of the department.

"It's just a wonderful opportunity for us to have this group of people to come out with these veterinarians and do a wonderful service. They donate their time. They donate the vaccines," Murray said. "None of it is state funded and I wouldn't have all these hands to help me. It gets little hairy sometimes."
Murray has worked in the department's equine program for seven years, and has worked in the equine facility management field for 20. She draws double duty as an equine inspector, as well, serving as one of

15 statewide who investigate complaints of neglect and abuse.
Georgia's Equine Protection Program is the only one of its kind among agriculture departments nationwide. The program is authorized to impound and accept through voluntary surrender equine that have been abused, neglected and abandoned. Funds to support care and rehabilitation of seized horses come through donations of time, money, equipment and goods, primarily from the private nonprofit Georgia Equine Rescue League

Periodical cicadas emerging after 17 years underground

By Merritt Melancon
What has large, red eyes, translucent wings and an undulating, 7-kilohertz chirp that sounds like the background music to a horror movie? Georgians can find the answer over the next few weeks by traveling north into the state's mountains to witness the emergence of the latest brood of 17-year periodical cicadas.
The harmless insects started emerging from their underground burrows in late April, and will spend several weeks making a racket, mating, laying eggs and dying. They won't be seen again until 2034.

Entomologists have identified 12 broods, or distinct groups, of periodical cicadas. This brood, Brood VI, last emerged in 2000 across far northern Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. There's no good way to know exactly what parts of the state will see the most cicadas, but based on previous emergences, several thousand could be seen coming out of the ground in the mountains. Early reports indicate the cicadas emerging as far south as Cobb County already this month, so their range may have spread.
Most of the Southeast sees an annual population of "dog day" cicadas emerge in July. Periodical cicadas are noteworthy because

of the long periods they spend underground between emergences. The periodical cicadas' novelty and their sheer numbers make them one of the most bizarre and awe-inspiring phenomena in nature.
"It's a good excuse to get out in the woods and enjoy nature," said Nancy Hinkle, a cicada enthusiast and professor of veterinary entomology at the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. "It's something your kids will remember because it only happens every 17 years. There's a good chance that the next time it happens, they can take their children out to see them."

Periodical cicadas emerge from under trees that are at least 17 years old. The tree had to be present 17 years ago when the female laid her eggs to start this generation. If the tree where the eggs were laid was cut down or the area is paved, the nymphs die and no cicadas will emerge.
The last brood of 17-year periodical cicadas, Brood II, emerged in 2013.
