BLAC K, COMMISS ION ER Cold weather fosters optimism for Georgia peaches To our subscribers and advertisers Number of chill hours already considerably higher than 2017 season By Kendall McWilliams In early December, the kendall.mcwilliams@agr.georgia.gov Georgia Department of Agriculture experienced a significant network outage that temporarily disabled As the mercury dips below 45 degrees Fahrenheit, confidence in a prolific 2018 harvest rises for Georgia's peach farmers.

Black. "In fact, peach and blueberry crops have received more chill hours this year than the last two years combined." Fruit crops, like peaches and blueberries, require a certain number of chill hours. These chilling requirements are necessary for the plant's growth cycle because they ensure that the trees don't break dormancy until the tender buds are ready for new growth. Temperatures less than 45 degrees Fahrenheit are tallied in the number of chill hours that fruit crops are exposed to from Oct. 1 to Feb. 15. "We're in better shape than we've been since 2011. That was the last year we had a full peach crop," said Lawton Pearson of Pearson Farm in Fort Valley. "Dormancy on 95 percent of our varieties has been satisfied, and we still have three weeks left." Last year's unusually warm winter temperatures devastated Georgia peach growers, wiping out an estimated 70 percent of the state's crop and making this year's weather patterns even more crucial. Many farm- Snow blankets a peach orchard at Pearson Farm in Fort Valley Jan. 17. Andy Harrison/GDA ers, like Pearson, are welcoming the drastic change with open arms and resounding optimism. "Bottom line, it's just what the doctor ordered and an answer to prayer," said Pearson. "We are tickled pink." However, with several weeks left in the growing season, it is crucial for growers to remain realistic about what could happen in the coming days, according to Commissioner Black. "As we experienced last year on the night of March 28, one late freeze can break an entire crop," said Black. "But as of right now, we feel blessed to have set the foundation of the chill hours and are optimistic that this season will be a productive and profitable one for our farmers."

Georgia Grown tests national ad campaign The Georgia Grown Commodity Commission is excited to officially announce a marketing plan aimed at increasing sales of Georgia's agricultural products outside the State of Georgia. "Nature's Favorite State" is a pilot branding project designed to broaden the highly successful marketing efforts of Georgia Grown. "Many consumers across the country are aware of Georgia peaches and Vidalia onions, but they may not be as familiar with some of our other delicious commodities, such as blueberries, sweet corn and pecans," said Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary W. Black. "This program will leverage brand equity created by those famous products to help Georgia sell more agricultural products." While there are many other geographic branding programs throughout the country, most focus on one specific crop. "Nature's Favorite State" is the first marketing campaign specifically designed to promote a wide selection of Georgia's agricultural products to consumers outside their state of origin. The commission is currently test-marketing advertising concepts and signage for the program. They will identify the ads that have the best consumer response and highlight them in future promotional efforts outside of the state. Georgia Grown has already created marketing concepts for sweet potatoes, pecans and greens. In the spring and summer, they will be marketing Vidalia onions, blueberries, peaches, watermelons and sweet corn. "We see `Nature's Favorite State' kind of like Georgia Grown 2.0," said Commissioner Black. "Our first phase was to promote Georgia Grown inside the state of Georgia; now we are looking to take it across the country."

I travel the state promoting the Georgia Grown program. Last week I was in Cordele, the Watermelon Capital of the World, and noticed something I hadn't paid attention to in years. Sitting at the corner of Interstate 75 and U.S. Highway 280 is a huge missile. My uncle Melvin told me when I was a pup that it belonged to the Krystal next door, so we called it the Krystal Missile. My aunt Rita told me that aliens landed in Cordele on that rocket, but I figured that was made up because the numbers on the side were in English. That's the kind of litter I was raised in. I found out the rocket really came to Cordele in the 1960s. Back then, the Rotary Club wanted something to catch travelers' attention going down the new interstate. So the Rotary president, a retiree from the Air Force, made a phone call. The owner of the Holiday Inn nearby donated land for the missile, and it's been there ever since. They got the missile for free -- well, on loan from the US Air Force. Because, I suppose, it would be illegal to own a Titan Intercontinental Ballistic Missile...

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31, 2018 FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN 404-656-3722 agr.georgia.gov PAGE 7 Guest Column: Protect yourself and others from the flu Editor's Note: Back in the saddle again, sort of By Edwin W. Grimsley, MD, MACP Winter months bring short days, cold weather and increased risk of respiratory illnesses. Influenza (flu) is certainly one of the most feared and debilitating of these illnesses. Flu can occur any time of the year, but is much more common in the winter and early spring months, because people spend more time in close contact with one another in winter, and influenza virus is more stable and stays in the air longer when air is cold and dry the ideal conditions for flu season. The name influenza may originate from an Italian word meaning "influence of the cold." Flu spreads easily from person to person through coughing, sneezing or touching surfaces contaminated by the flu virus. Flu symptoms can vary, but usually patients experience a sudden onset of high fever (greater than 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit), chills, headache, muscle aches, extreme fatigue and chest discomfort. Sometimes they have a sore throat and stuffy nose, though these are much more common with a cold. Fever is also rare with a cold. Generally, a cold is more of an aggravation, whereas the flu is severe. The fever of flu usually lasts for two to five days. Some people may experience flu complications. The most common complication is pneumonia, which can lead to hospitalization and sometimes death. Other complications include bronchitis, sinus infection and ear infections. Certain people are at higher risk of developing flu-related complications. These include: children younger than five years of age, adults older than 65 years of age, pregnant women, nursing home residents, Native Americans and patients with asthma, neurological conditions, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), cystic fibrosis, heart disease, blood disorders, diabetes, kidney disorders, liver disease, metabolic disorders, immune system disorders, extreme obesity and people younger than 19 years of age who must take long-term aspirin therapy. Symptoms usually indicate the diagnosis of flu, especially if influenza is prevalent in the community at the time. There is lab testing available, but we more often use it in high-risk patients to confirm the diagnosis. If you have a mild case of the flu, you do not need medical care or anti-flu drugs. You should stay home and avoid contact with others. Get plenty of rest, drink plenty of fluids and take over-the-counter pain medications. Children less than 19 years of age who have the flu should avoid taking aspirin. If you get better, then get worse, seek medical attention, as this could indicate a complication. You should also see your physician if you are in a high-risk group, or if you have severe symptoms, such as trouble breathing, chest pain, decreased urination, confusion or severe vomiting. High-risk patients and patients with severe symptoms may benefit by taking antiviral medications such as oseltamivir (Tamiflu). The medications work best if given within 48 hours of illness onset. In high-risk patients, these drugs can be lifesaving. Antibiotics are not useful, since a virus, not bacteria, causes the flu. However, antibiotics may be useful in the setting of certain flu complications. Getting the influenza vaccine is the most effective way to reduce the chance of getting the flu. At best, it can prevent the flu. At the least, it can lessen the severity of the flu and may prevent complications. Contrary to what some say, the influenza vaccine cannot cause the flu. Because the flu virus changes from year to year, the vaccine must be given yearly. Vaccine effectiveness can vary from year to year, but it usually prevents flu in 40 to 70 percent of those who receive the vaccine. Unfortunately, this year's vaccine may not be as protective against one of the flu strains causing illness. However, it does offer some protection against the "targeted" strain and more protection against other illness-causing strains. It takes about two weeks after the injection for the flu vaccine to become protective. Though the vaccine may cause mild reactions, the risk of vaccine complications is much less than the risk of complications from the flu itself. The influenza vaccine is recommended for nearly all people six months of age or older. Patients with mild egg allergy (such as hives) can take the vaccine. Patients who have had more severe reactions to egg should consult their health care provider. It is always better to get vaccinated than not to get vaccinated. Frequent handwashing and avoiding sick people is certainly important in preventing the spread of the flu. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates the flu infects up to 30 million people each year in the United States. Many thousands of people die from influenza, so take action to avoid becoming part of this statistic. -Dr. Edwin Grimsley is Professor of Medicine, Senior Associate Dean, on the Macon Campus of Mercer University School of Medicine. Guest Gardener: `Kanjiro' Camellias add beauty and life to the landscape By Norman Winter In Japanese, the word "kanjiro" means "you must feel." I'm not sure if that means "to touch" or "to experience," but the Kanjiro Camellia is certainly one to experience. The Kanjiro Camellia is known botanically as Camellia hiemalis and debuted in 1954. The longevity of this camellia cultivar, which is entering its 64th year, is a testament to both its character and performance in the landscape. Over the last dozen years, I've experienced the full beauty of the Kanjiro. When I was a Mississippi State University horticulturist, I had the opportunity to film several that were planted along the streets of downtown Brookhaven, Miss., as part of a beautification project. My son uses it to provide some fall-blooming razzledazzle in Columbus. At the Coastal Georgia Botanical Garden at the Historic Bamboo Farm in Savannah, we planted hundreds about five years ago as a screen for a chain-link fence. I remember thinking that these camellias would take a while to screen the fence. In the present, I think that this was a great idea. The Kanjiro is cold hardy from zones 7 through 10. In terms of geography, a little more than a third of the country can experience its beauty. It will grow in a container but must be moved to a protected space during the winter. The Kanjiro camellia is evergreen with dark, glossy leaves that seem to be the perfect backdrop for the scores of rose-pink blooms with bright, golden stamens. You can expect it to reach 8 to 10 feet in height and 6 to 8 feet in width. I always preach about the placement of the necessary bones of the landscape. An adequate portion of evergreen plant material is required to accomplish this structure. Camellias, like the Kanjiro, are a perfect choice. They have deep green, glossy leaves and offer weeks of terrific blooms. Like all other camellias, they require fertile, welldrained, acidic soil. This coming spring would be a great time to plant woody shrubs, trees and camellias like the Kanjiro. Garden centers will have their best inventory then. The camellias along the Coastal Botanical Garden's Judge Arthur Solomon Camellia Trail are all placed in a series of beds. The canopy of trees high overhead allows just the right amount of light for the camellias' vigorous, healthy growth. If we make an investment in the landscape, it only makes sense that we do it right by putting our shrubs to bed. It is so sad to see a fine camellia like the Kanjiro in a location where it's surrounded by turf. Glossy leaves and hundreds of buds and blooms that attract pollinators, including the long-tailed skipper butterfly, make the Kanjiro camellia highly desirable. I hope you will add a Kanjiro camellia to your garden this spring. -Norman Winter is the director of the Coastal Georgia Botanical Gardens at the Historic Bamboo Farm in Savannah. By Amy Carter amy.carter@agr.georgia.gov The most frequent question we hear at the Market Bulletin is this: Is the editor "the real" Amy Carter -- you know, President Jimmy Carter's daughter? Answer: Nope. And just in case I wasn't clear: Niet. Non. Nein. Negatory. The second most frequent question we hear at the Market Bulletin is this: What has happened to my Market Bulletin? Answer: It's complicated. To be a little more specific, the Market Bulletin isn't the same paper it was a year ago, or even a month ago. Why? Two reasons. First, a cyber event. Second, life -- you know, that thing that happens when you're making other plans. Even so, we've got this. We are working days, nights, weekends, snow days and holidays to reclaim information that was temporarily lost to us as the result of an unfortunate run-in with some malware in early December. We have a tenacious team of cyber warriors on staff here at the Georgia Department of Agriculture, and they've been working nonstop since that event to get us right again. They've already restored all the usual links to the Market Bulletin online at agr.georgia.gov. Barring the occasional glitch, you should be able to log in online using your subscriber number to view the digital version of the paper or to submit an ad. However, as we continue to work out the kinks, we will offer two temporary links to both functions that you may access without your subscriber number. They are located along the right-hand side of our landing page at agr.georgia.gov/marketbulletin.aspx. One link says "View the Recent Issues," and the other says "Submit an Ad (subscribers only)." As always, feel free to call or email if the occasional quirks excuse me, wonders of technology make a liar out of me. We're here to help. Happily, we're back to our fighting weight of 12 pages this issue, thanks once again to our indefatigable IT Department. The aforementioned malware temporarily prevented us from accessing our database of ads submitted online prior to Dec. 11, 2017, and also prevented us from receiving new ads via our website for a time. Hence the smaller sizes of the papers you received earlier this month. Our ad numbers are steadily climbing back to our target range, which is allowing us to resume our regularly scheduled programming. While advertising and subscription queries have commanded the lion's share of your attention and ours these past few weeks, many of you have also lamented the absence of our usual complement of editorial content. In particular, you've been missing our garden columnist, Arty Schronce. Having put in many years of dedicated service to the department, Arty has taken a well-deserved retirement. We wish him Godspeed in this new phase of his life. While no one can replicate Arty's thoughtful and informative writing style, we are looking at other options -- such as the Guest Gardener column at left -- to provide you with the horticultural content so many of you crave. In the meantime, you might have noticed the addition of a new column for kids, "Georgie's Drive through Georgia Agriculture." An educational tour of Georgia's unique rural landmarks, "Georgie's Drive" is researched and written in the guise of Georgie, our Georgia Grown mascot, by our very own Lee Lancaster. We hope you'll find Lee as amusing as we do, and share the column with your children and grandchildren. We are also excited to bring you a new monthly column from the Mercer University School of Medicine. Mercer's Medical School exists solely to educate Georgia residents in the art and science of practicing medicine in rural areas, and we know you'll find these columns to be helpful in living a healthy and productive life on the farm. For many of you, the recipes we publish are a beloved staple of our editorial line-up, and something you occasionally love to hate. Our audience seems to consist of two schools of cooks those who adore old-fashioned recipes with plenty of butter and grease, and those who don't. Be that as it may, we fully intend to keep stirring the pot with tasty suggestions for taking Georgia Grown goodies from the farm to your family. That probably sounds like plenty enough work to keep us off the streets and out of trouble, but we're out there anyway, gathering news and feature stories that enrich your knowledge of and appreciation for the business of agriculture in Georgia. We are grateful for your continued support of the Market Bulletin, and for the passion with which many of you have expressed that support in recent weeks. For as long as you'll allow us to, we'll strive to publish a paper worthy of that emotion.

PAGE 11 PAGE 12 FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN 404-656-3722 agr.georgia.gov WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31, 2018 Farmers Under 40: Jan Jones Farm: Jones Farms Hometown: Climax Age: 27 Q: How did you get your start farming? A: I've grown up on our farm, so my start came really early. I have always had chores on the farm and helped out however I could growing up, but I never planned on farming for a career; I wanted to write and/or publish books. I graduated from Mercer University in 2012 with an English degree and no job experience, so finding that dream job was a challenge. I tried teaching for a year and didn't like it, so I moved back home and continued the job search. During that time, I started working with my dad every day and soon realized I really liked what I was doing. Four years later, I couldn't imagine living or working anywhere else. Q: What does your farming operation primarily consist of? A: We have a typical South Georgia row crop operation cotton, corn, and peanuts. We also raise about 275 commercial beef cows. Q: What advantages and disadvantages do you think there are to being a younger farmer? How has being a woman played into these? A: An advantage to being a young farmer and one who has no formal Ag education is that I don't pretend to know everything. So, I question everything. How do we do this? Why do we do it that Jan Jones way and not another way? Can we do it better? I don't know if my gender has really hurt or helped me, but it's always a conversation starter. Q: Who has been your biggest role model in farming, and what is the best piece of ad- vice they have given you? A: My Dad is my biggest role model, and he's given me lots of advice over the years. The one that sticks out the most is "Stay focused," which usually means stay focused so you don't tear something up, but it also means stay focused on your end goal and find the best way to get there. Provided photo Q: What are your hobbies and interests outside of farming, and how are you able to maintain your work schedule while also participating in those? A: I am a perpetual hobbyist and am always finding some new skill that I want to learn. I took up beekeeping last year, and I've greatly loved the ups and downs of that endeavor. Most recently, I've been learning to quilt. Our "downtime" is December through February, when we're not growing any crops. We still have plenty of work to do with the cows and getting the farm ready for planting season, but that's when I have the most time to devote to hobbies. Throughout the rest of the year, I just fit them in when I can. Q: What do you think is the most important thing that young female (or male) farmers need to know? A: Find a network or support group of other young farmers, whether that means joining an organization like Farm Bureau, Georgia Young Farmers, or just creating one of your own. Farms are, of course, rural and can be isolating. It's important for me to feel connected to other people who share the same experiences. -Do you know a young farmer under 40 who would make an interesting profile in the Market Bulletin?

Sunbelt Agricultural Expo in Moultrie announces staffing changes Gina McDonald to retire after 20 years of service MOULTRIE The Sunbelt Agricultural Expo announced the appointment of Becca Turner to the position of vice-president of marketing for "North America's Premier Farm Show". "Becca brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, and we look forward to having her join our outstanding staff," said Sunbelt Executive Director Chip Blalock. Turner graduated with her Master's in Mass Communication from the University of Georgia in 2002. Since that time she has worked as the executive director of the Colquitt County Arts Center, interim director of ABAC on the Square, and most recently as associate professor of communication at ABAC. She was instrumental in developing the Rural Studies and Communications program and its curriculum for the four-year program. Turner and her husband, Richie, reside in Moultrie with their children, Carolyne and Ret. Turner will replace Gina McDonald, who announced her retirement in November after 20 years at the Expo. "It's been a great opportunity to work for the Expo. I've had the privilege to work alongside some of the best people in Becca Turner Mary Beth Watson agriculture," McDonald said. McDonald will remain on staff through March 1. "Gina's commitment to relationship-building with our community, exhibitors and visitors has taken this show to new heights," Blalock said. "We wish Gina the best in her retirement." Other Expo staff updates include the appointment of Mary Beth Watson as vice-president of accounting and administration. Prior to joining the Sunbelt staff, Watson was employed as economic development director for Southern Regional Technical College. She holds a Master's Degree in Education from the University of Georgia. Watson has served as a volunteer for many community organizations. Currently, she serves as the chairman of the Colquitt County School Board, president of the YMCA Board and is an active member of First Baptist Church. Watson and her husband, James, have a daughter, Mary Grace. -Submitted by Sunbelt Ag Expo Southeast United Dairy Industry Association rebrands itself to better reflect focus on growth, partnerships in the industry The Southeast United Dairy Industry Association has new leadership, new branding and a new name The Dairy Alliance. This change represents the new vision and mission of the organization. The Dairy Alliance has an emphasis on market-focused partnerships that proactively promote and protect the interests of 2,100 dairy farm families in the Southeast. The new branding initiative includes a new logo, a strategic mission and vision and a renewed effort to expand partnerships and provide growth opportunities in the dairy industry. "We are aligning our organization to more accurately reflect the vision of our dairy farmer board of directors and bring focus and clarity to the new mission of The Dairy Alliance," said Doug Ackerman, who joined the organization as chief executive officer in January 2017. "The rebranding is more than a new logo and a new name. It is a fundamental shift in how we position ourselves within the dairy industry, individual business channels and communities where we live and partner for a healthier future for us all." Since 1971, The Dairy Alliance has been the voice for dairy in the Southeast. The primary goal has been promoting milk and dairy foods for farmers and working with industry partners. The organization started with just four states and has grown to nine, including Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. The reorganization aims to represent its partners, to grow and to meet the challenges facing the dairy industry with knowledge and innovation. "The dairy industry is facing several challenges, including the loss of producers, globalization and regulation," said Glen Easter, a third-generation dairy farmer who serves as chairman of the board of directors of The Dairy Alliance. "This effort ensures the alliance is hitting our targets and that our families and partners are part of the conversations and, ultimately, the solutions." The Dairy Alliance uses scientificallybased research and information to champion the dairy industry to organizations around the country including farm bureaus, departments of education, school nutrition associations, state nutrition directors, health professional organizations and others. -Submitted by The Dairy Alliance The Dairy Alliance represents more than 2,100 dairy farm families across the Southeast.
