BLACK, COMMISSIONER WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21, 2017 VOL. 100, NO. 13 COPYRIGHT 2017 GEOR GIA DE PAR T M E NT O F AGR I CU LT U R E GA RY W. BLAC K, COMMISS ION ER Gov. Deal to Avian Influenza Response Team: "Thank you. Job well done." By Amy H. Carter amy.carter@agr.georgia.gov Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal met personally with employees of six state agencies June 12 to offer his thanks for their work to contain an occurrence of low pathogenic avian influenza in a commercial flock of chickens in Chattooga County earlier this year. "Ask the average Georgian what this is all about and they'd probably have no clue, none whatsoever," Deal said. "Many of you, especially those of you who work in emergency situations whether it be law enforcement or health or otherwise you know that many times the best result is one where the public really never knows how great the danger was, and that's the situation here. You dealt with it effectively, quickly, and you contained it and that's what we're all here to say thank you for." A presumptive low-path strain of the AI virus was detected in the Georgia flock during routine pre-sale screening in late March amid an outbreak of high pathogenic AI in Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama. Although low-path AI may only cause mild sickness in poultry, it can mutate into the lethal high-path strain if allowed to circulate. For that reason, the state depopulated the affected flock and established a surveillance area around the affected farm, along with restrictions on livestock movement, to prevent the spread of the disease. Employees of six state agencies were recognized by Gov. Nathan Deal June 12 for their efforts in containing the state's first confirmed outbreak of Avian Influenza last March. Leaders of the involved departments pictured with Gov. Deal on the front row are, from left: Col Mark McDonough, Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Public Safety; Gary Kelley, Inspector General for the Georgia Department of Agriculture; Brenda Fitzgerald, M.D., Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Public Health; Gov. Deal; Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black; and Homer Bryson, Director of the Georgia Emergency Management Agency. (Photo courtesy of the Governor's Office) "In 48 hours we had the situation handled without federal involvement," said Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary W. Black. "As a governor, that makes me very proud of you," Deal said. "That's the way states ought to operate. That's really what our founding fathers intended for them to do. That's why the Tenth Amendment, I think, is so important in our Constitution. States have responsibilities. States always want to talk about the responsibility and the power and scope of what we're allowed to do, but then when the doing it comes along we run to someone else to ask them to help us do it. You were prepared." Neither strain of the AI virus poses a risk to the food supply, and the chance for human infection is extremely low. Both pose a significant economic threat to Georgia. "We are the number one poultry producing state in the nation. On any given day, (poultry) has a $25 billion economic impact on our state and employs thousands of Georgians," Black said. Since 2015, the Georgia Department of Agriculture has invested thousands of man (and woman) hours in hundreds of meetings, planning sessions and emergency drills to prepare for a possible outbreak of AI. The department's response to the March outbreak and preparation of the emergency plan that dictated that response was drafted and executed in coordination with the Georgia Emergency Management Agency, Georgia Department of Transportation, Georgia State Patrol, Georgia Forestry Commission, Georgia Department of Public Health, Georgia Department of Natural Resources and the Georgia Poultry Lab Network. "Two hundred of our 600 (agriculture) employees have been somehow engaged not only in this enterprise but were engaged in tracking this effort over the years," Black said. "That's literally one-third of our team." Deal called it a truly remarkable effort. "I think it demonstrates the cooperation that does exist across agencies and across departments, and that's what the citizens of this state expect," he said. Reader Profile: Agriculture Committee Chair Tom McCall Mail to: Published by the Ga. Department of Agriculture Gary W. Black, Commissioner By Amy H. Carter amy.carter@agr.georgia.gov If humility grew like sweet corn, Tom McCall would be up to his ears in the stuff. In his home county of Elbert, he's widely known for the sweet corn he grows and sells. He plants about 10 acres each season and picks it by hand each morning to ensure that his primary customers women who buy the corn to "put up" get their money's worth. "The reason I pick every bit of it is, I'm real funny about what it is," McCall said. As an extra measure of protection against the odd bad ear, he adds one to every dozen he sells. The practice is so ingrained on the McCall farm that daughter Katie, who recently graduated college, answered "13" when asked early in her school career how many items make up a dozen. "I don't want some little old lady to get home and have a bad ear she can't make up with an extra one," McCall said. "If they're all good, that's okay, too, and if you buy a truckload you get a heap of free dozen ears of corn, 'cause I don't care if you buy a hundred dozen or one dozen, you're going to get 13 to a dozen." That is how McCall upends the notion of a gentleman farmer being nothing more than landed gentry dabbling in the agricultural arts. The fourth generation to farm his land, he wears the cloak of the humble servant in all that he does. Standing in the Rotunda of the State Capitol on a busy day during the 2017 legislative session, he frowned and shook his head when addressed as "Chairman McCall," then leaned in to make himself heard. "None of this Mr. Chairman, Rep. McCall or sir stuff," he said. "My name is Tom. Call me Tom." Chair of the House Agriculture and Consumers Affairs Committee, Tom has represented Elbert County and the surrounding Tom McCall and his grandson, Winn, 1, on their family farm. (Photo by Jane McCall) countryside in the Georgia House of Representatives for 23 years. The previous holder of his office tapped him to run one afternoon in 1994 while Tom was waving the weed-eater under a pasture fence. To hear him tell it, he was a reluctant recruit. Naturally that begged the question of why he's stayed so long, and that elicited a chuckle from Jane, Tom's wife of 32 years. "I want to hear this," she said. Did the idea of the Senate or the offices of Lieutenant Governor or Governor never appeal? "No, no, no. I got a whole 'nother life here that's more important," he said before an impish grin spread across his face. "I don't want to take a demotion and move to the Senate. I tell people they got so many rules over there being in the House is like going to a church picnic and being in the Senate is like going to a funeral so I'd a whole lot more like to stay where I am." And then, in all seriousness: "I like the job but I hate politics. I hate politics. You're supposed to do what's right and not worry about what's politically right. What I worry about is, in Georgia half the population lives within 40 miles of the capital, and the other half lives everywhere else. Half of us represent that 40mile circle. They don't understand (agriculture). They think Kroger's where your food comes from. They don't understand not just agriculture but what country people do. They don't understand that you've got to ride 50 miles to get to Sam's. We don't even have a car lot in Elberton. We have probably the smallest Walmart in the Southeast. We just got a Tractor Supply." Tom confessed that he hasn't been out there, yet. He shops the local feed-and-seed, where he can trade wheat straw for just about anything he needs. In fact, he once traded 13 See READER PROFILE, page 9 PAGE 2 FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN 404-656-3722 agr.georgia.gov WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21, 2017 Advertise in the Market Bulletin Classified advertisements in the Market Bulletin are free to subscribers and limited to one ad per issue per subscriber number.

DeKalb and Clayton County mobile farmers markets bring produce to the people By Merritt Melancon It's almost summer, and for the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension staff in DeKalb and Clayton counties, that can only mean one thing -- road trip! Both offices will be taking their nutrition education programming on the road this summer along with all the fresh fruits and vegetables needed to put those good dietary intentions into action. DeKalb County's Mobile Market program, which began its third season May 20, will be crisscrossing the county providing supermarket-priced produce at schools, apartment complexes and community centers located in neighborhoods that are underserved by full-service supermarkets. "Over the past two years we've seen the number of people who shop at our market double," said Vonsuela Baker, Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program agent for UGA Extension in DeKalb County. "That tells us that there is an unmet demand for fresh fruits and vegetables in the neighborhoods that we're serving, and we're excited to continue to meet that demand this summer. "Our goal is to help to DeKalb Countians eat more fruit and vegetables, and with the mobile market and the cooking classes that are part of the market experience, we're doing just that." Baker urges everyone in DeKalb County to keep a look out for the mint green "Fresh on Dek" bus in their neighborhoods and give the market a try. The program is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and sponsored by UGA Extension, the DeKalb County Board of Health and the DeKalb County Board of Commissioners. The DeKalb Mobile Market began its weekly schedule on June 6, and the program will run Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at locations in Decatur, Lithonia and Stone Mountain. The complete schedule is posted at www.dekalbmobilemarket.com. In Clayton County, UGA Extension Agriculture and Natural Resources Agent Winston Eason is working with the office's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education staff to coordinate a mobile market to serve areas of the county designated as "food deserts" by the USDA. Their mobile market program, dubbed Clayton Fresh, held a kickoff party on May 13 at the Jonesboro Farmers Market. The Clayton Fresh program will travel the county throughout the summer and provide nutrition education classes and bags of fresh produce. All of the produce will be provided by the Lovejoy Community Garden, a 10-acre small suburban farm in Lovejoy. The produce will be available for free for those who take the nutrition class and will include the ingredients that they need to try the recipes used in the class's cooking demonstration. "Our goal is to provide nutrition information to the public, and this is a roundabout way to reach targeted groups with information about health and nutrition," Eason said. A complete schedule for Clayton Fresh will soon be listed at ugaextension.org/ county-offices/clayton.html. -Merritt Melancon is a news editor with the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. Georgia sees an increase in cases of Canine Influenza Virus Georgia State Veterinarian Dr. Robert Cobb confirmed an increase in the prevalence of canine respiratory disease found in dogs associated with exhibitions and assemblies. As a result, dogs from multiple states have been diagnosed with Canine Influenza Virus infections. This increase in infection is associated with a high virulence and infection rate. The strain of CIV currently observed in this event is H3N2. "Contact your private veterinarian immediately if your dog develops canine influenza like symptoms," Cobb said. "Common symptoms can include coughing, sneezing, lack of appetite and fever. To prevent the spread of the virus, be sure to establish and maintain proper biosecurity procedures." In May, dogs from multiple states attended a dog show held at the Georgia National Fairgrounds in Perry. Many of the dogs had recently attended dog shows in other states. Following the show in Perry, multiple attendee dogs developed respiratory disease and have been found positive for H3N2. Several kennels in Georgia are reporting increased respiratory disease. Isolation and testing is in progress. At this time, three reported confirmed positive cases of H3N2 CIV have been found in Georgia. The virus does not appear to affect humans, but is highly contagious in dogs. The mortality rate for canine influenza is low and most dogs recover without any complications. Affected animals should be isolated until a diagnosis is made and appropriate veterinary action taken. Canine Influenza is not reportable to the Georgia Department of Agriculture. For more information regarding the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of Canine Influenza visit www.agr.georgia.gov.

Arty's Garden: Plant a blue bridge By Arty Schronce Ithuriel's spear (Triteleia laxa) recently finished blooming in my garden. It is also known as triplet lily, common triteleia or simply triteleia. I like the name "Ithuriel's spear," a reference to an angel in Paradise Lost, but for brevity's sake I will call it triteleia. Call it whatever you want, but please consider giving it a try. Triteleia is a bulb (technically a corm) that is planted in the fall and blooms in May. It is easy to grow and is a reliable perennial in Georgia. It provides shades of blue that are uncommon and that blend well with many other colors. As I sit here writing, I cannot think of a color that would not go well with the gentian blue of my triteleias. My favorite pairing is to sow the standard orange California poppy with it. The plants look natural together (both are Western natives) and their complementary colors pop. Our native orange butterflyweed is another good partner, not only for its color but because it can take the summer dryness that triteleia prefers. Native to northern California and southwest Oregon, triteleia likes full sun to half shade and prefers well-drained soil in summer when it is dormant. Brent Heath of Brent and Becky's Bulbs, a major bulb supplier, gave me an easy-to-remember instruction: "It likes to sleep in a dry bed." A few other companions to plant with it are rose campion, Shirley poppies, Egyptian walking onions, bearded iris, dusty miller, Indian primrose, clasping heliotrope, gaillardia and purple coneflower. When planted with daffodils it provides a second wave of color after the daffodils die back. Brent told me that Becky, his wife, calls it a "bridge bulb," because it blooms after the rush of spring bulbs but before the glads, crinums and other summer bulbs kick in. As a cut flower, triteleia offers long-lasting blooms and stems that are thin, but sturdy. Its wiry stems and accommodating blue flowers mean it can be added to almost any bouquet. The fact that it is grown in massive quantities for the Dutch cut flower market is one of the reasons triteleia is inexpensive for American gardeners, according to Brent Heath. Queen Fabiola is the most common, and perhaps the best, variety of triteleia. Other less common varieties are Rudy, Foxy and White Cloud. Although inexpensive and easy to grow, it has not found its way into many gardens. You may find some for sale at garden centers in late summer and fall or in bulb catalogs. You may get a discount if you order early. Don't let its unfamiliarity or assortment of unusual names there is even disagreement on how to pronounce triteleia discourage you from giving triteleia a try. -Arty Schronce is the department's resident gardening expert.

Cook Georgia Grown: Okra with corn puree, BBQ baked peanuts, popped sorghum By Jason Paolini This dish pairs some of my favorite summer vegetables with delicious Southern flavors. For the BBQ baked peanuts, make sure to source shelled raw or green peanuts and try to make the baked peanuts a day in advance. You can source the sorghum seed and syrup at most specialty markets or online. Try to source the corn and okra from one of your local farms or farmers markets. Ingredients and Preparation: Corn Puree 10 ears of corn, shucked, kernels shaved from cob (save the kernels and cob) 1 small Vidalia onion, diced 2 cups corn stock (recipe below) 1 cup corn juice (recipe below) 1 clove garlic, minced Zest of 1 lemon 1 Tbsp. peanut or canola oil for cooking For the Corn Stock Place the corncobs in a pot and cover with water, simmer for 30 minutes. Strain the liquid through a sieve, save the liquid and discard the cobs. For the Corn Juice Take of the corn kernels and juice them through a vegetable juicer; reserve the corn juice for later. For the Corn In a large pot or skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. peanut oil on medium heat. Saut the onions and garlic until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the corn kernels and continue to saut until the corn is soft, about 3 minutes. Add the corn stock and simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated, 10 to 15 minutes. Add 1 cup of corn juice and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until it is thick like creamed corn. Season with salt, pepper and lemon zest. Optional: Puree the corn in a blender to make a nice smooth corn puree or leave the creamed corn as is; it's delicious either way. Popped Sorghum Seed lb. sorghum seed 2 qts. peanut or canola oil Place the peanut oil in a medium pot and heat to 400 degrees. Once the oil is hot, sprinkle a small amount of seeds into the oil. The seeds will begin popping in about 5 seconds and float to the top. Note: Try not to overcrowd the oil with seeds. As they pop they will rise out of the oil. Use a small mesh strainer to scoop the sorghum popcorn from the oil and place on a small sheet tray lined with paper towels. Season with salt. The whole process will take about 10 seconds. Repeat until all seeds are popped and look like tiny pieces of popcorn. BBQ Baked Peanuts 1 lb. raw or green shelled peanuts 5 cups vegetable or ham stock 1 small Vidalia onion, diced 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 Tbsp. whole grain mustard 1 tsp. ground ginger 1/2 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper 3/4 cup sorghum syrup cup apple cider vinegar 1 cup BBQ sauce of your choice Salt to taste Add garlic, cook a few minutes, then stir in mustard, ginger, pepper, sorghum syrup and vinegar. Add peanuts and stock, season with salt and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and simmer for 1 hour. After 1 hour, place lid on the pot and bake in a 275 degree oven for 3 hours. After 3 hours add BBQ sauce. If the peanuts are dry, add another cup of stock. Cover and put back in the oven for an additional 1-2 hours. The peanuts are done when they have absorbed most of the liquid and are soft like baked beans. For the Okra 1 lb. okra 2 Tbsp. peanut oil Salt and pepper to taste Soak peanuts in water overnight in a 2:1 ratio water to peanuts by volume. Next day, strain the peanuts from the remaining water reserving the peanuts and discarding the water. In a large thick bottom pot, saut onion in peanut oil on medium heat until light brown. Remove the stems of the okra and cut in half lengthwise. In a large mixing bowl, toss the okra with salt, pepper and peanut oil. Place the okra cut side down on a metal baking sheet. Do not crowd the pan. There should only be 1 layer of okra on the pan. Photo by Fraser Reade Bake at 450 degrees for 8 minutes and remove from oven. To Plate Once ready to serve, be sure to warm the puree, peanuts and okra. On the center of the plate, spread the corn puree. Spoon 2-3 Tbsps. of the baked peanuts on top of the puree. Place 8 to 10 pieces of okra over the peanuts. Garnish with popped sorghum. -Jason Paolini is the executive chef at the Atlanta Botanical Garden's Longleaf Restaurant. He is a 2017 member of the Georgia Grown Executive Chef Program. This dish was served at a Georgia Grown Dinner hosted by the James Beard House in New York City June 3.

Tom McCall Continued From Page 1 rolls of hay for the engine out of a scrapped bulldozer from the local granite quarry. "They use bulldozers to push the rock off that they don't use. They tear them all to pieces on the undercarriage, but the engines aren't hurt," he said. "Now I'm running a bulldozer engine in a farm tractor for 13 rolls of hay." By Tom's reckoning, there are fewer than 10 farmers left in the Georgia General Assembly, which, ironically, still convenes on an agrarian timeline. "That's why we meet in January, February and March. That's when the flat time in farming is," he said. That's also when Tom forgoes his favorite pastime "piddling in the shop" to represent Georgia's farmers and rural denizens in the lawmaking process. When environmental rules, animal welfare issues and even tax exemptions are discussed, the rural view is always tied to economics. But measures intended to help the farmer such as the Georgia Agricultural Tax Exemption program and Conservation Use Valuation Assessment for farmland are often perceived as special favors to enrich him or her, Tom said. "If a farmer saves $500 on a load of fuel, he ain't gonna put that in some bank savings account. It's going to be put back into the local economy of his area," he said. "It keeps money flowing." In today's material world, few are as frugal as a farmer Tom included. Having read the Market Bulletin since childhood, when his grandparents and parents took the paper, he buys what he can't make or trade for from the Market Bulletin classifieds. "I think the first big tractor I bought was in Dalton. I bought it in the '80s," he said. "We don't buy anything new. I'd rather buy it used. I think we bought one new tractor and two new grain drills. Those are the only two things we've bought new. Everything else is broke in." The McCall family's history with the Bulletin isn't just restricted to the family farm, however. "My Mama was a caterer, and other than growing up in the farming business, I grew up doing weddings, too," he said. "Lots of times I'd come in on Saturday and get the grease off of me and go get a bride down the aisle." The dishes he served at the receptions that followed were often taken from recipes printed in the Market Bulletin.

PAGE 12 FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN 404-656-3722 agr.georgia.gov WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21, 2017 Coping with the special challenges that come with aging on the farm By Arty Schronce arty.schronce@agr.georgia.gov The average age of principal farm opera- tors in the United States is 58, according to the USDA's most recent Census of Agriculture, published in 2012. In Georgia, the average age of the principal farm operator is 59.9. People may joke about 60 being the new 40, but the rising age of American farmers has some asking whether this poses problems for the future of agriculture. There is no single rea- son why the average age of American farmers is ris- ing, according to Rebecca Brightwell, co-director of the Farm Again/AgrAbility Project at the University of Brightwell Georgia. "The reasons are varied and, at times, complex," she said. Among the contributing factors she cited are smaller families, the lure of economic op- portunity in cities, farmers working past the retirement age of 65, and difficulty acquiring land and equipment to get started. "The land alone is a sub- stantial investment," said Kent Wolfe, director of the UGA Center for Agribusi- ness and Economic Devel- opment. "Combined with the uncertainty that comes Wolfe with farming, young people may not want to take it up or have the resources to get established. A young person starting out may have to find a niche because he or she cannot compete head-to- head with larger producers." He noted that many families do not have a transitional plan that will allow the farm to continue when a parent dies. "The children may get hit with a high tax bill. One may want to continue farming, but the siblings may want to sell the land in order to buy a beach house or to get the fast return from a developer," he said. Aging farmers may need practical advice and assistance with transition plans, according to Brightwell. "Providing local experts in financial plan- ning and legal services at a low cost to farmers could result in saving some farms from clos- ing permanently," she said. Charles "Buddy" Leger, 85, is a watermelon and pe- can farmer in Cordele who turned the day-to-day busi- ness of farming over to his son 10 years ago. "If you have a son or a Leger daughter interested in taking over the business, you need to bite the bullet and turn it over to them. It is not an easy decision," said Leger. The difficulty of Leger's decision to hand over the reins was not due to lack of confi- dence in his son, but was a realization that, although he started and built the business, he needed to let go. "When you get older late 70s or early 80s you can't do everything you used to be able to do. You have to fall back on someone younger," he said. Leger timed the transition with an eye toward being available to counsel his son as long as possible. "I wanted to give him the opportunity while I'm still alive and have my faculties and can provide advice if he needs and asks for it," he said. "It would be a terrible thing to never give him the opportunity to make his own de- cisions." Although he's not the key decision maker anymore, Leger is not retired. "I don't ever intend to retire. I have some- thing to do. In the busy time I am here every day from about 5:30 (a.m.) to 1 or 2 in the af- ternoon," he said. Leger isn't unusual among farmers in that regard. "Most farmers will keep farming until they literally cannot physically do the job any- more," Brightwell said. As they age, farmers face special chal- lenges. "The primary challenges for older farmers are hear- ing loss, arthritis and stress, which leads to all kinds of problems, including injury," said Deborah Reed, director Reed of the Occupational Health Nurse Ph.D. Training Pro- gram at the University of Kentucky. Reed said the two best ways to stay healthy, especially with a physically demanding job like farming, is to deal with stress by keeping lines of communication open at home and to take a break every once in a while. "Sometimes you need to get away from looking at everything that needs to be done," she said. Maintaining overall health is important for farmers of any age, but for older farmers, halt- ing damage to hearing and joints is especially important. "Prevention is the key," Reed said. "Farm- ers need to take efforts to conserve what they have and prevent further damage." For those trying to work around injuries and disabilities, the Farm Again/AgrAbility project has helped hundreds of Georgia farm families with chronic health conditions and/or disabilities stay productive. "There is a cattle farmer well into his 90s who was using his cane to open gates," Brightwell said. "We modified his gates and built ramps to help him drive his utility ve- hicle to check on his cattle." The project also assisted an elderly organic farmer by creating a mobile chicken coop she could easily move that was easier for her to maintain and healthier for the chickens. A farmer with Parkinson's benefitted from spe- cial "walk-through" gates and step extensions to allow him to climb onto his tractor. "We have a shop at the Tifton UGA cam- pus where we can fabricate some of the things farmers need," said Brightwell. The project is funded through foundations and federal grants, and staff services are pro- vided at no cost to the farmer. 10 tips for farmer health and safety By Deborah Reed, PhD, RN, FAAOHN University of Kentucky, College of Nursing 1. Tell your health care provider about your farm work. 2. Check tetanus immunization status. Update every 10 years if no wounds, more often if injured. 3. Evaluate: hearing and vision, balance and recovery, range of motion, grip strength, reaction time, skin (especially back and ears), medication use, temperature tolerance. 4. Start the day by stretching in bed works fine to limber up first. 5. Have a clear communication plan and use it i.e., have someone check in on you periodically. 6. Plan work to conserve energy. 7. Minimize twisting, lifting and climbing. 8. Take frequent breaks and hydrate. 9. Get plenty of sleep. 10. Invest in earplugs, a wide brimmed hat, sunglasses, gripper gloves, roll bar for tractor, mirrors for tractors and machinery, communication devices, a sturdy walking stick, hand sanitizer, fire extinguishers, a whistle and utility vehicles.

An extended warm winter was punctuated by a mid-March freeze that heavily affected the agricultural industry as a whole, from livestock to commodities such as blueberries and peaches. The late snow and blizzard conditions in other parts of the country caused cattle fatalities. "It was one of the warmest on record, although not unprecedented the third warmest (winter) on record since 1895 for Georgia," said Pam Knox, agricultural climatologist for the University of Georgia in the department of crop and soil science. These record breaking temperatures mean only one thing more fleas, ticks and flies to pester livestock this year. "If warmer than normal winters become more frequent, livestock producers can ex- pect to see an increase in the overwintering of pests each year," Knox said. "That will harm the cattle's health and require cattlemen to treat them, adding expense to their production costs." Flies are most heavily affected by weather. "Since most of a fly's life cycle is spent off the host, these stages are more exposed to ambient conditions, therefore flies are more impacted by weather variations," said Nancy C. Hinkle, Ph.D., professor of entomology at UGA's College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. Fleas and ticks are not affected by weather conditions as adults but are in the egg stage. Ticks hatch in warmer weather conditions, and having such a warm winter has provided a longer period of reproduction for them. Pests such as ticks and flies bring serious concerns to the health of cattle. "Ticks can transmit dozens of disease agents that cause illness, abortion and death in cattle. Flies, likewise, can transmit numerous bovine disease agents," said Hinkle. "A single fly species, the horn fly, is estimated to cause economic losses exceeding $1 billion annually in the U.S." Allen Wiggins, a livestock market operator and member of the Georgia Commodity Commission for Beef, said that flies, and especially horn flies, are the worst he's seen. "I know people say that every year, but they really are," he said. Wiggins said he has seen ticks earlier this year, and in places where he wouldn't normally expect to see them, such as the ears of cattle as young as two months old. "Fly control has been nearly impossible. A mineral I have used with fly control hasn't touched them," Wiggins said. If such mild winters are to continue, the cattle industry will have to work harder in the fight against pests. "Pests are just a fact of life in the cattle industry, and we are just going to have to deal with them the best we can," said Ernie Ford, a commercial cattle producer who also sits on the Georgia Commodity Commission for Beef. -Savannah Hartley is a rising senior at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton, majoring in Agricultural Communi- cations.

Treating for horn flies Experts agree the most effective way to protect cattle from horn flies is with ear tags containing insecticide that is released in small amounts during grooming or rubbing. Ear tags even help prevent ticks in the ears of cattle. Certain ear tags are known to work effectively for fly control. In a horn fly study funded by the Georgia Commodity Commission for Beef in 2016, UGA Veterinary Entomologist Nancy Hinkle concluded that XP 820 ear tags were the best fly control solution because they were the least labor intensive. One tag lasts for the whole season with no additional treatments required.
