Fallout from historic storm may reshape the state's No. 1 industry

By Amy Carter
amy.carter@agr.georgia.gov
Danny Bledsoe is stoic in the cab of a John Deere cotton picker as he tries to salvage what's left of a bumper crop so many farmers saw as their salvation after two years of bad weather, pestilence and volatile markets.
"That's 50 percent of my crop right there, at least," he says, nodding toward the cotton scattered like snow between the rows of plants on his Hawkinsville farm. The big lumbering picker won't touch that cotton on the ground. In fact, the seeds in much of it have already put down roots and sprouted foliage, and the fiber that's left on the mature plants was either strung from limb to limb by the wind or hard-locked in the burr so the picker slings it out like a rock.

It wasn't supposed to end this way. This year's cotton crop was setting up to be the best most farmers had ever seen. Danny, who's been farming for most of his 72 years, said he saw one other crop in the late 1970s that looked nearly as good. So, cotton growers throughout South Georgia invested heavily in everything from fertilizer to extra plastic wrap for the multitudes of bales they hoped to harvest before Hurricane Michael blew it all to the dirt Oct. 10.
Of all the things that can and do go wrong on a farm in Southwest or Central Georgia, who would

Forestry Matters:
Georgia's pine, hardwood forests sustain nearly $1 billion in damage from Hurricane Michael

By Chuck Williams Director, Georgia Forestry Commission

Like most of you with deep agriculture roots in Georgia, we at the Georgia Forestry Commission have been consumed with the aftermath of Hurricane Michael. No amount of video or verbiage can adequately express the anguish so many are experiencing as we work to put the pieces back together as best we can.
It's been a privilege to see the Georgia Forestry Commission team in action during this emergency. From the days before landfall in Florida, we joined the Southeast, watching Michael's course and beginning to calculate the implications. The day before the storm hit,

The Georgia Forestry Commission deployed 10 chainsaw crews and 90 personnel to clear trees felled by Hurricane Michael, which hit the far southwest corner of Georgia with extreme winds of up to 150 mph Oct. 10.

GFC began delivering logistical supplies and providing forklifts and operators to load and unload supplies a service that continued weeks into recovery. As soon as it was safe to enter the affected areas, GFC dispatched 10 chainsaw crews with 90 personnel working to clear critical infrastructure under the guidance of the Georgia Emergency Management Agency and local EMAs. We partnered with numerous state and local authorities to prioritize and address the many needs in the storm's path. In all, more than 8,000 hours were dedicated to Hurricane Michael response by GFC employees.
One of the biggest challenges was compiling an assessment of forest damage. The need was great and immediate, and met by GFC's forest health and community foresters. The entire report can be accessed online at https://bit.ly/2SbTBSu.
While this report is thorough, many questions re-

Georgia Department of Agriculture using new technology to assess food safety after Hurricane Michael

In response to Hurricane Michael, the Georgia Department of Agriculture Food Safety Division broadly leveraged new Geographic Information System technology for the first time to conduct emergency assessments of food facilities across the state. The technology helped inspectors conduct assessments more accurately and efficiently, with results shared in real time.
Previous paper-based forms and manual entry were transformed for the Hurricane Michael response, using a new electronic survey with a data analysis platform. To enhance the GDA's ability to quickly and effectively conduct emergency assessments, inspectors collected data through a custom survey that captured the level of damage to Georgia's food facilities. This included a review of each firm's status of electricity, potable water, sewage system, food handling and preparation areas, and lost food product due to physical damage, loss of power, flooding, etc. The survey also actively tracked whether a food inspector took any regulatory action, such as witnessing a firm's destruction of product,

ment (for example,

FACING THE STORM

Hurricane Michael struck the heart of rural Georgia in early October. The storm's track took a staggering toll on the state's No. 1 industry, which generates $73.3 billion annually for the economy. Damage estimates as of Oct. 29 total approximately $3 billion. Adding insult to injury is the fact that this year's cotton crop was so good, many farmers expected it to erase the hardships caused by weather and market forces in recent years. "This was a catch-up year, hopefully, to make a payment we haven't made in a couple of years," said State Rep. Clay Pirkle of Sycamore. Now, the best hope farmers have for regaining their financial footing is federal disaster
assistance with no strings attached. "Nobody wants to take a payment," said Whitney Bledsoe, whose family lost more than half of their 1,300-acre cotton crop in Hawkinsville. "We wanted the bumper crop to get ourselves out, and now here we are stuck."

STUART GRIFFIN, GRIFFIN FARM
Stuart Griffin raises approximately 2,000 head of cattle on his family farm in Bainbridge. Griffin Farm also grows peanuts and corn on the 6,400-acre operation. One of the biggest obstacles Griffin faces after the storm is replacing and repairing damaged infrastructure, including pivot irrigation systems, fences and grain storage facilities.

STATE REP. CLAY PIRKLE, TURNER COUNTY
Clay Pirkle is a fourth-generation cotton farmer in Sycamore. He earned his undergraduate degree in economics at Georgia Tech, and his MBA from the University of Georgia. He was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives in 2015, representing all of Ben Hill, Irwin and Turner counties and portions of Tift and Coffee counties.
The very first call I made Thursday morning was to my banker... and I said, `I want you to know it's as bad as it gets. I went from a bumper crop to no crop overnight and there is no way I am going to be able to pay you back for my seed and fertilizer and chemicals, much less any term debt that I have, and I want somebody to feel almost as bad as I do this morning.'

I don't know how we're ever going to come back from this, but farming is all I know how to do. All I've ever done.
It's under my fingernails. It's in my veins.
GREG MIMS, MIMS FARMS

BILL BRIM, LEWIS TAYLOR FARMS
Bill Brim is CEO of Lewis Taylor Farms, a family-owned and -operated vegetable and greenhouse operation founded in the 1930s in Tifton. The farm now grows more than 6,500 acres of produce annually and employs 700 people. Brim was one of several Southwest Georgia farmers who met with President Donald Trump on Oct. 15 to discuss storm damages.
This storm has really just kicked us in the stomach. We lost $31,750,000. We're really in a mess.

SHEILA RICE, CALHOUN PRODUCE
Sheila Rice's family farm in Ashburn, has evolved from a row-crop operation to a fully diversified agribusiness since her parents founded it in 1982. From the spring strawberry u-pick fields to the fall corn maze, the farm is a year-round draw. Hurricane Michael flattened the corn maze, laying 10-foot stalks on the ground. With 300 elementary school children due for a field trip the Monday morning after the storm, Rice purchased 180 bales of hay and built a hay maze. Power was restored to the farm at 9:20 the morning of the field trip. Kids started arriving at 9:30.

Greg Mims raises cattle and grows corn, cotton, peanuts and soybeans on his family farm in Donalsonville. Chairman of the Georgia Soybean Commission, Greg was selected to meet with President Trump Oct. 15 in Macon.
This will be felt for many years to come and it's going to take some financial assistance. This is serious.

"There is no crop insurance for agritourism. You take the loss."

FACING THE STORM
GERALD LONG, LONG FARMS
Gerald Long is the 12th president of the Georgia Farm Bureau. He is a diversified farmer from Decatur County. He raises cattle and grows peanuts, vegetables, corn, cotton, hay, small grains and timber in Bainbridge. Long was one of the Southwest Georgia farmers selected to meet with President Trump on Oct. 15 in Macon.

MOSS FAMILY FARMS
The Moss and Jimmerson families operate a third-generation farm enterprise in Southwest Georgia. Their losses range from wine grapes to cotton, which sustained more than 50 percent loss. Renee, 41, is shown in one of the damaged cotton fields.
This is such a deep emotional loss that we all feel like someone has died.

"We've got a good many retired farmers, or getting ready to retire, that maybe had 50, 75 or 100 acres of timber out there. That was their 401K. That was their retirement, and it's not there now. It's gone."
KEVIN RENTZ, RENTZ FAMILY FARMS
Fourth-generation farmer Kevin Rentz, 35, farms in Decatur County, Georgia, and Jackson County, Florida. The Rentz family also raises cattle and grows cotton, peanuts and soybeans. He also operates a farm supply and peanut buying point in Brinson.
"I asked my insurance agent, `What are we going to get if they zero us out?' Which we have nothing, so they should zero us out. He said that on just one of my farms he guarantees that we will get about $400,000 and that was covering like 800 acres. That won't even cover the growing cost. That's half the growing cost."

BLAKE AND WHITNEY BLEDSOE, LIMESTONE PLANTATION
Blake and Whitney Bledsoe stand with their youngest son, Lawson, in a field hit hard by the storm. Their 1,300-acre crop was a 50 percent or more loss. Whitney was selected to meet with President Trump in Macon on Oct. 15, and said it was good to hear someone in authority say, "Don't worry. We're working on this."
"We know that the Lord is here. We know that He provides the crop and we know that He is going to take care of us. Somewhere in here is a lesson for us to learn and we're just having to trust in that. Obviously we're hoping in the federal government but we're resting in Him, that He's going to take care of us and provide. We're not without hope because we have Him."

TOMMY DOLLAR, DOLLAR FAMILY FARMS
Thomas H. "Tommy" Dollar II serves as CEO of Dollar Farm Products Co and President of Dollar Family Farm in Bainbridge. The Dollar family raises cattle and grows cotton, peanuts, corn and soybeans. Dollar met with President Trump in Macon on Oct.15 to discuss the impact of Hurricane Michael and hosted Vice President Mike Pence for a post-storm farm tour.

CASEY COX, LONGLEAF RIDGE
Sixth-generation farmer Casey Cox, 27, grows sweet corn, peanuts, pecans and timber on her farm, Longleaf Ridge in Camilla, and was one of the Southwest Georgia farmers selected to speak with President Trump about Hurricane Michael's devastation on Oct.15 in Macon.

Photo by Anna Kinchen
"We've lost 14 out of 26 irrigation pivots personally. The latest count I got yesterday talking to four or five different people and making sure they were not counted twice, I believe there are 523 pivots down in Decatur, Seminole, Miller and lower Early County."

We have been knocked down, but we will not give up. We have our faith. We have each other. We will get through this. Stay strong, farmers. We are in this together.

Georgie's Drive Thru Tennille
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state promoting agriculture and the Georgia Grown program. Last year during football season, I was traveling from Wrightsville to Tennille and saw a man painting a barn alongside GA Hwy 15. His name was Ross and he was painting the final score from the 2017 Georgia-Florida game. He told me he started painting that barn when he was a student in Athens to express his opinion of the Bulldogs' coach. The coach got fired after that season, but Ross kept up the tradition of painting that barn. And that barn is pretty famous nowadays. Would you believe it has its own Facebook page? And just the other day, I saw it on ESPN! When Ross told me he'd been painting that barn for 17 years, I said, "Gosh! I figured you'd have been finished by now!"

Cook Georgia Grown
Haymaker's Switchel

Editor's Note: Ed Parent of Fort Valley shared this recipe with us recently. He found it in a cookbook belonging to his mother that included recipes like this one, clipped from the pages of the Market Bulletin. According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, Switchel or Haymaker's Punch was popular with Colonial farmers. The Almanac calls it "Nature's Gatorade" because most of the ingredients are excellent sources of potassium. It was often consumed by farmers during haying, hence the name. Typically a warm-weather drink, it's still good for those days when fall and winter forget Georgia exists.

Ingredients: 1 cup brown sugar 1 tsp. ground ginger cup sorghum, honey or molasses

cup vinegar 2 qts. water

Preparation: Mix all ingredients and chill. Serve iced. Some hardy souls add a cup of hard cider to the mixture.

Georgia Organics presents Golden Radish Awards Oct. 22
Eighty-four of Georgia's 181 school districts were recognized for farm-to-school excellence at the Fifth Annual Golden Radish Awards at the Georgia Freight Depot in Atlanta. These districts served 109 million school meals made with locally grown food to more than 1.3 million students. They also taught more than 61,000 curriculum-based lessons incorporating food and agriculture. Carrollton City Schools received the Outstanding District Award for establishing a STEM-focused farm-to-school model encompassing school gardening and an after-school culinary club. The district also served food from local farms during school meals.

Guest Column:
How to manage the emotional toll of a natural disaster

By Judy Fitzgerald, Commissioner
Georgia Department of Behavioral
Health and Developmental
Disabilities
After a natural disaster, many resources are needed to support recovery in the affected communities. These resources often include financial assistance, personnel, food and supplies. While people are busy taking care of immediate needs for survival, behavioral health needs can be overlooked. The consequences of ignoring these concerns can be tragic. The Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities is here to support people in Southwest Georgia in the aftermath of Hurricane Michael. Following the hurricane, DBHDD was awarded a Federal Emergency Management Agency grant to support crisis counseling. This program, called the Georgia Recovery Project, is available in counties that have received a presidential disaster declaration for Individual Assistance Programs. That list includes Baker, Dougherty, Early, Lee, Miller, Terrell and Worth counties (served by Aspire Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities), and Decatur, Grady, Mitchell, Seminole and Thomas counties (served by Georgia Pines Community Service Board). More counties may be added. The project provides crisis counselors who go door-to-door offering a "listening ear" for disaster survivors to talk about how they've been affected by the storm. Crisis counselors are also at disaster recovery centers, donation distribution centers and other community areas.

Following a disaster event, it is not uncommon to feel upset, anxious, angry, depressed, confused, scared or overwhelmed. After basic needs have been met, many people can resume their daily routines and activities, but stress and anxiety may persist. Here are tips to help cope with stress after a disaster:
Take care of yourself and your loved ones Feelings of stress are better handled when talked about. Talk
with family members and friends about your experiences and your feelings. Eat a healthy diet, avoid the use of drugs and alcohol, and get regular exercise. Activities as simple as taking a walk, stretching and deep breathing can help relieve stress. Stay informed. Your community's emergency management team will provide information about local relief efforts. Limit your consumption of news, use social media carefully and follow trustworthy sources. The constant replay of news stories about a disaster or traumatic event can increase stress and anxiety and make some people relive the event over and over. Get enough "good" sleep. If you have trouble sleeping, only go to bed when you are ready to sleep, avoid using cell phones or laptops in bed, and avoid drinking caffeine or alcohol at least one hour before going to bed. If you wake up and can't fall back to sleep, try writing what's on your mind in a journal or on a sheet of paper. Establish and maintain as much structure and routine as possible. This includes eating, sleeping, exercising and fun. Plan family fun times each week and spend weekly one-onone time with each family member. Reach out to family, friends and the community to seek the support you need and ask for what you want from the people who are likely to give it. Be hopeful. Many of us have experienced crises and survived. Families are resilient and include survivors who may need to be reminded of their strengths.

Find support. If the feelings of stress continue and begin affecting daily activities, reach out to a mental health or medical professional for additional help.
Warning signs and risk factors for emotional distress It is common to feel stress symptoms before or after a di-
saster. Most stress symptoms are temporary and will resolve on their own in a fairly short amount of time. However, for some, these symptoms may last for weeks or even months and may influence relationships with family and friends. Common warning signs of emotional distress include: Physical signs: headaches, backaches, eating irregularities, sleep disturbances, frequent sickness, ulcers or exhaustion. Emotional signs: sadness, depression, anger or blame, anxiety, loss of spirit or loss of humor. Behavioral signs: irritability, backbiting, acting out, withdrawal, excessive drinking or violence. Cognitive signs: memory loss, lack of concentration or inability to make decisions. Self-esteem: "I'm a failure," "I blew it," "Why can't I...?"
Ask for help If you or your loved ones continue to have feelings of anxi-
ety, fear or anger for more than two weeks without improvement, it's best to seek professional help. Call 1.800.985.5990 or text TalkWithUs to 66746 to connect with a trained crisis counselor at the Disaster Distress Helpline. Find a local support group. For behavioral health services, to find a local crisis center, or if you or someone you know is thinking about suicide, call the Georgia Crisis and Access Line at 1.800.715.4225. In Southwest Georgia, please also consider contacting Jennifer Dunn in DBHDD's local field office at 229.977.4885. Visit http://georgiadisaster.info/ for more information about local efforts.

Gov. Nathan Deal and a host of dignitaries helped Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black cut the ceremonial ribbon that marked the official opening of the Georgia Grown Baby Barn at the Georgia National Fair in Perry Oct. 4. While no official count was taken, we estimate that several thousand fair-goers visited the newest addition to the Georgia Grown Experience at the annual fair to see and this is an official count 20 live births of 21 calves (one set of twins) to Holstein dairy cows that delivered in our maternity ward. If you are among the few who missed it, be sure to visit us at next year's fair, Oct. 3-13, 2019!
