What a difference a year makes
Cooler winter temperatures impact Georgia agriculture across the board

By Kendall McWilliams kendall.mcwilliams@agr.georgia.gov
With snow in South Georgia and frigid blasts holding temperatures below freezing throughout much of the state, it would appear that Georgia is experiencing a much different winter than last year. But despite the lower, cooler temperatures and higher winds of late December, average temperatures for the month were still relatively warm, according to University of Georgia Climatologist Pam Knox.
With the current La Nia a natural cycle of cool water temperatures in the Pacific Ocean that serves as a driving force for weather patterns in the winter months the Southeastern U.S. could continue to see inconsistent temperature patterns over the next several months.

"In a weak La Nia like this one, the wave patterns can set up in odd ways, leading to crazy things like Alaska being warmer than Georgia," said Knox. "If you look at the global temperature maps, we are one of the few regions in the world that is currently below normal."
So, what does this mean for farming operations across the state? The impact of these frigid temperatures varies from sector to sector. According to Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black, the cold weather will show a positive trend in the number of chill hours needed to have a successful growing season for specialty crops.
"The cold weather is providing us much-needed chill hours for peaches and blueberries," said Black.
Wade Parker, agriculture and natural resources program development coordinator for UGA Extension in Statesboro,

said the cold snap will also help fulfill chilling hours on pecans and small grains such as wheat. The number of chill hours this year has already surpassed the number of chill hours that Georgia crops were exposed to last winter.
Cooler temperatures may also help reduce whitefly populations.
"We are hopeful that these weather conditions will have a positive impact on reducing the whitefly pest population in produce and cotton areas of the state," Black said.
Last year's mild winter allowed for a significant increase in the whitefly population, which plagued crops and affected yields in the last growing season.
"Of course, the extreme temperatures also have the potential to present great challenges as well, such as increased heat-

Registration open for Georgia Ag Forecast series
UGA agricultural economists hitting the road to present economic outlook for 2018

ATHENS -- The Georgia Ag Forecast seminar series will be held Jan. 30 through Feb. 7 at six sites across the state. University of Georgia agricultural economists will present insights into the latest market and regulatory conditions for the state's largest industry agriculture.
Hosted by the UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, the 2018 seminar series will be held in Athens, Bainbridge, Cartersville, Lyons, Macon and Tifton. Registration for the series is now open at georgiaagforecast. com.
More than 1,000 producers, agribusiness representatives and community leaders attended the seminars in 2017.
"The main objective of the Ag Forecast seminar series is to provide Georgia's producers and agribusiness leaders with information on where we think the industry is headed in the upcoming year," said Kent Wolfe, director of the UGA Center for Agribusiness and Economic Development. "It helps producers plan for the next year, but it's also good for bankers and others who have businesses involved in agriculture or who will be impacted by the farm economy."

Economists from the center and from the college's department of agricultural and applied economics will deliver the economic outlook, which will focus on Georgia's major commodities and the way that global markets, weather patterns and historical trends will affect them.

In addition to the economic outlook for 2018, attendees in Bainbridge, Lyons, Macon and Tifton will hear from Bob Redding of the Redding Firm in Washington, D.C. Redding will discuss major themes that may be addressed in the 2018 farm bill and moderate a discussion on the bill.
Attendees in Athens and Carrollton will hear from Matt Hauer of the UGA Carl Vinson Institute of Government Applied Demography Program. This program provides state and local leaders with current demographic data and detailed population projections that enable Georgia leaders to more effectively address issues and plan for the future. In 2017, Hauer worked with the Georgia House of Representatives Rural Development Council to provide the demographic data they needed to make recommendations for potential legislation.
Individual seats are $35 per person and a table of eight is $240. All seminars begin at 9 a.m. and are followed by a networking lunch, except for the Tifton event which will open with a 7 a.m. breakfast, followed by the seminar.

Registration ends Feb. 8 for UGA's 2018 Flavor of Georgia contest

Mail to: Published by the Ga. Department of Agriculture Gary W. Black, Commissioner

ATHENS -- What's better than reaching into your pantry or refrigerator and pulling out a delicious product that's made in your state? The University of Georgia's Flavor of Georgia Food Product Contest helps to highlight the state's burgeoning food product scene with its annual competition.
Registration for the 2018 contest, which is coordinated each year by the UGA Center for Agribusiness and Economic Development, is now open online at flavorofga. com.
Now well into its second decade, the competition serves food entrepreneurs assisting them in testing new products and reaching a larger audience and established brands, helping them break into new markets and receive accolades for established product lines.
"My sales are up just over 300 percent compared to last year," said Jeff Campbell, who won the barbecue sauce category in 2017 with his Wicked Que Georgia Vinegar Sauce. "This is in big part due to the contest. Not only winning it but just being a part of it has spurred me on to call on more stores and work harder on my sales."
To date, more than 1,200 food products have been entered in the contest. Many of these products are sold in regional and national markets. As a result of the contest, some have increased their wholesale distribution or internet sales or experienced better traffic at local farmers

markets. "Flavor of Georgia participants tell us that the contest provides rec-
ognition, credibility and exposure for their products," said Sharon P. Kane, the contest coordinator and food business development specialist
in the UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. "It also provides a valuable resource for networking with other food entrepreneurs and industry experts." Product categories include barbecue sauces, beverages, condiments and salsas, confections, dairy, honey, jams and jellies, meats and seafood, meat-alternative products, sauces and seasonings, snack foods, and miscellaneous products. There is no limit to the number of products an individual business can submit. The early registration fee is $100 per entry and continues through Jan. 19. After that date, the price increases to $150 and remains open until Feb. 8. All entries are featured in the annual product directory, which is
seen by leading food industry buyers and media outlets. Contest finalists will be invited to participate in the final round of judging in Atlanta on Tuesday, March 20, through a live pitch to judges, with an awards reception immediately following. The grand prize winner will be awarded an exhibit space for up to two registrants at the Georgia Food Industry Association annual convention a value of more than $1,500 and three consultation sessions

Editor's Note: Hitting the reset button

By Amy Carter
amy.carter@agr.georgia.gov
We hear from lots of subscribers who've managed to resist the siren call of technology, and right now we're envious of your willpower. As you've no doubt heard, the Georgia Department of Agriculture recently experienced a cyber event that temporarily prevented us from accessing several important digital databanks, including our Market Bulletin subscriber and advertising databases.
The good news is that no data was compromised, nor was it released publicly. However, the event did occur during a busy time of year when the department is handling thousands of license renewals for gas stations, food retailers and processors. This is also the time of year when farmers renew their Georgia Agriculture Tax Exemption (GATE) cards. And then there's your Market Bulletin, which we work diligently to deliver to 40,000 of you on time, every two weeks. We fell a few days short of that mark with our Jan. 3 issue, for obvious reasons. It took a little ingenuity, a lot of midnight oil and gobs of elbow grease, but we got a smaller version of the paper out for you.
Our IT staff has been working nights and weekends for the past several weeks taking off only for Christmas and New Year's Day to restore our connections to our networks. They hope to have us fully operational again

by the end of January. In the meantime, we're thinking creatively
about work-arounds that will allow us to hit our deadlines with minimal disruption to you. This is our 101st year in print, and thank goodness the pundits were wrong about print being dead! However, it takes a ton of new-fangled technology to get this old-fashioned paper on the press, so we'll be asking for your continued patience as we get back to business as usual. I hesitate to say "get back to normal" because I was challenged over the dubiousness of that phrase by a gentleman caller recently. He was frustrated by repeated attempts to renew his subscription online and by phone, so I offered him the option of mailing his renewal to us or leaving his name and number with me so I could let him know when things got back to um, well, you know.
"I insist that you call me back if you find normal," he interrupted. "I've been looking for normal my entire life."
Touch, sir, and thank you for not giving up on us.
I cannot begin to tell you how grateful we are for those of you who've offered encouragement rather than complaint these past few weeks, and we especially appreciate those of you who've taken the time to tell us how much you enjoy the Market Bulletin. It's good to know we're not playing to an empty room. To make up for any inconvenience this event has

caused you, we'll be extending the accounts of current and pending subscribers (as of Feb. 1) by three months. If you pre-scheduled ads online with us prior to Dec. 11, 2017, we encourage you to resubmit them to us to ensure that they run.
Please feel free to write or call Kendall McWilliams or me any time that we can be of service to you. On behalf of the Georgia Department of Agriculture and the Georgia Grown program, we wish you a happy, healthy, safe and prosperous new year!
To submit an ad online: Visit agr. georgia.gov, click on the Market Bulletin icon in the middle of the page, and look for "Submit an Ad" on the right-hand side of the page. That link will take you to a new form for submitting your ad. Please note that if you pre-scheduled ads for future issues, we are unable to access those at this time. Resubmit your ad and let us know in the ad text box when you'd like it to run. We'll edit the ad so that your instructions to us do not publish.
To subscribe: Please mail your $10 payment for a 12-month subscription to the Georgia Department of Agriculture, Attn: Market Bulletin, P.O. Box 742510, Atlanta, GA 30374.
