USDA encourages poultry biosecurity with `Defend the Flock' campaign

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
Georgia poultry producers will have more resources this year to keep their birds healthy and protect them from disease through the "Defend the Flock" educational initiative by the United States Department of Agriculture.
Defend the Flock began last fall through the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service to promote biosecurity of the nation's poultry sector. Dr. Chrislyn Wood, an APHIS poultry specialist, explained the initiative grew from a 2004 campaign called Biosecurity for Birds. She said Defend the Flock is an expanded version of the previous campaign.
"It combines education for smaller yard poultry growers as well as the poultry industry, and it tries to tie in folks in between including veterinarians, scientists, feed truck drivers, delivery people, so everybody in the poultry industry has a good understanding of biosecurity, diseases and how to prevent them," she said.
The campaign also follows one of the worst instances of avian influenza recorded in the United States. More than 232 poultry farms were affected by the outbreak across 21 states in 2014 and 2015 that caused estimated losses of $3.3 billion from the death and culling of domestic poultry.
"It was a combination of commercial farms

that were affected as well

and viruses."

USDA launched a new web page for the campaign

Wood also recommended purchasing birds from a source that is in the National Poultry Improvement Program. Birds from NPIP sources are tested for dif-

feeders and waterers on a regular basis so they Hennebelle said.

Hennebelle said the past year has been quiet nationally with regards to avian influenza. Other states have reported the detection of low-pathogenic avian influenza, not the high pathogenic strain that occurred during the 2015 outbreak.
The biggest concern in the United States today is the report of a new Virulent Newcastle disease in California. Hennebelle said Virulent Newcastle disease is being closely watched but appears to be limited to backyard flocks that may have been infected from other species of birds.
"They have had a couple of commercial flocks involved, but thankfully it has stayed out of the commercial industry, but it's been quite devastating to folks who have a couple of chickens in the backyard exhibition birds and that kind of thing," she said.
The GDA works closely with the Georgia Poultry Lab Network for poultry testing and reporting throughout the state.
"We have a very robust surveillance system for infectious diseases," Hennebelle said. "They also house several poultry veterinarians who are poultry subject matter experts for the state."
Poultry producers can report any concerns they have through the state's avian influenza hotline by calling 770.766.6850; by emailing AIhotline@gapoultrylab.org; or by submitting an online form through the lab's web page, www.gapoultrylab.org.

The Market Bulletin web site at agr.georgia.gov may be unavailable May 18-19 as we undergo a software update. We will tell you more about this upgrade and how it will improve
your Market Bulletin experience in our May 22 issue.

Getting an early start
The Farmers and Consumers Market Bulletin means different things to different people. What it meant to young Will Southerland in this moment we don't rightly know, but we were thrilled to receive this photo of Will "reading" the paper from Rhonda Williams, office manager/program specialist for Habersham County Farm Bureau in Clarkesville. Will is the son of Shaun and grandson of Winston, both of whom farm in Habersham County. The photo was not staged, Williams assured us.

Cook Georgia Grown:
Blueberries from first course to last

Georgie's Drive Thru Mendes
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state promoting our No. 1 industry agriculture! Farmers have used equipment to harvest crops for more than 100 years. There are thousands of cotton pickers, peanut pickers and grain combines that come to life in Georgia every fall and spring, gathering cotton, peanuts, corn, wheat, rye, oats, soybeans and grain sorghum. But last week, as I was driving through Tattnall County near Mendes, I found something rare and special, a Vidalia Onion Harvester! This machine reminded me of the cucumber harvesters I saw near Milan last year. Ray Farms in Glennville has used their Top Air Onion Harvester for several seasons. This machine picks more than five acres of sweet onions per day, lightning fast if you consider it takes about five people to hand-pick one acre of onions in that same amount of time. The machine gently lifts the onions and "tops" them, meaning it removes most of the dried leaves and roots, leaving only the bulb. The rest of the unwanted dried material is removed at the shed using a Topn-Tail machine. You might say this harvester is the QuickerSweet-Onion-Picker-Upper!

Lack of rural broadband access limits the use of technology on Georgia farms

By Clint Thompson
TIFTON Georgia farmers have technological advancements at their fingertips, but many are not able to use them to their fullest extent due to the lack of broadband internet access, according to Wes Porter, University of Georgia Cooperative Extension precision agriculture and irrigation specialist.
"We're creating all sorts of useful data on machines in the field but if we don't have a reliable way to get it off the machines, processed and back into the farmers' hands, it's not going to be utilized," Porter said.
Rep. Buddy Carter of Georgia's 1st District, Rep. Austin Scott of Georgia's 8th District, and Federal Communications Commission Commissioner Brendan Carr met with members of the UGA Precision Agriculture team and stakeholders from the Georgia Cotton Commission, Georgia Peanut Commission, Georgia Pecan Commission and the Flint River Water District April 17 to discuss the importance of broadband access for the future and sustainability of Georgia agriculture.
"The important thing is that the FCC commissioner got to hear firsthand from the people who need this technology to produce sustainable crops. However, it's not just for them, but it's important to ensure prosperity for the rural economy. If the farmers are doing well, the whole rural economy's going to do well," Scott added.
In a step toward taking advantage of new technologies, Gov. Brian Kemp signed three pieces of legislation into law last month designed to expand internet access to rural areas.
Two bills Kemp signed, Senate Bills 2 and 17, allow the state's 42 electric membership corporations and telephone cooperatives to sell Internet services. The third bill, Senate Bill 66, allows telecom companies to set up 5G technology equipment on public land.
In the April 17 meeting, Porter and UGA Agricultural Engineer Glen Rains made it plain that tools such as autosteer technology, variable rate irrigation, in-field controllers, smartphone apps, soil moisture sensors and unmanned aerial vehicles are all critical precision agriculture tools they use in their research for the UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. These technologies help UGA scientists be more efficient in the field. Unfortunately,

many of the state's producers are restricted by the lack of broadband access or poor-quality broadband service.
"We're sitting on the cusp of all of this new and innovative technology. Most of our farmers have this technology, but it's underutilized for that one reason," Porter said.
Variable rate irrigation allows farmers to use water more efficiently by only applying water to the areas of the field that need it. Smartphone apps and soil moisture sensors enable producers to know when to schedule an irrigation application and how much to apply. Unmanned aerial vehicles allow producers to know when crops are stressed by disease or lack of nutrients.
"We know that information regarding our crops can

change, sometimes hourly. We know we definitely need daily decisions when we're looking at it. We need the data uploaded and a decision made within a day, maximum," Porter said. "Sometimes we may want it a little faster if it's a fast-moving disease. We just don't want the information to be sitting on a controller or field computer for weeks or seasons at a time. The timeliness is gone. There's very little use for it anymore."

USDA is accepting applications to fund highspeed internet extension to rural areas

WASHINGTON The U.S. Department of Agriculture is now accepting online applications for funding through the new ReConnect Rural Broadband Pilot Program. These funds will enable the federal government to partner with the private sector and rural communities to build modern broadband infrastructure in areas with insufficient internet service. Insufficient service is defined as connection speeds of less than 10 megabits per second download and 1 megabit per second upload. ReConnect funding applications can be submitted at reconnect.usda.gov.
Congress first appropriated funds for the new Rural e-Connectivity Pilot Program, known as ReConnect, in 2018. The program will be a proof-of-concept, enabling USDA to create and implement innovative options for rural connectivity by providing various financial packages to our customers.
In this first round of funding, USDA is making available at least $600 million in rural broadband projects, through $200 million in grants, $200 million in loan and grant combinations, and $200 million in low-interest

loans. The application deadlines for each of these funding packages are as follows: May 31, 2019, for projects seeking federal funds from
the grants-only package; June 21, 2019, for projects seeking a combination of
federal loans and grants; and July 12, 2019, for projects seeking low-interest federal
loans. This $600 million appropriation from Congress more than doubles federal funding available through USDA's longstanding broadband programs. Future rounds of funding for ReConnect will be announced later this year. USDA Rural Development provides loans and grants to help expand economic opportunities and create jobs in rural areas. This assistance supports infrastructure improvements; business development; housing; community facilities such as schools, public safety and health care; and high-speed internet access in rural areas.

SWAG workshops teach women the skills and knowledge

necessary to confidently run a successful cattle operation

By Amy Carter amy.carter@agr.georgia.gov
TIFTON There's something empowering about putting the spurs to a Ford F-250 Super Duty pick-up truck, twirling the steering wheel as far left as it will go and then watching in the rearview mirror as the 20-foot gooseneck stock trailer hitched to the bed pirouettes as gracefully as Ginger Rogers waltzing with Fred Astaire.
No humans, machines, barns or animals were harmed in the execution of that U-turn, and no voices were raised before, during or after it happened. In fact, Lucy Ray gave the order to goose the gas, swing wide and watch what happens as casually as she might have asked for a bottle of water. And that's what drew some 20 women to the University of Georgia's Animal and Dairy Science and Black Shank farms April 29-30 for a two-day class in advanced cattle management.
It was a class for women, taught by women as part of the "Southern Women in Ag" series presented by the UGA Extension Service and the Animal and Dairy Science Department. The Tifton classes were funded by the Georgia Agricultural Commodity Commission for Beef.
Kelli Long of Bainbridge assembles a ratchet strap to secure a round bale of hay to a flatbed trailer.

Catherine Gill of Fayetteville, at left, and Dawna Bicknell-Tanner of Cairo work together to extract a model of a newborn calf from a calving simulator. The simulator, on loan from the Georgia Beef Commission, allows ranchers to work through difficult calving scenarios they might encounter on the farm.

A clever cartoonist once noted that while Fred Astaire got the glory for all those elegant dance routines projected on movie screens in the 1930s and '40s, few celebrated the skill of his dancing partner, Ginger Rogers, who did everything he did, only backwards and wearing high heels. Women have historically been the accompaniment to men, helpers but not the star attractions, too delicate to do the heavy lifting. However, on a family farm where labor is at a premium and deadlines are tight, such notions are archaic, unproductive and unfounded.
"All of us come from a farm background and we're all running farms today," said Ray, a member of the UGA Extension team that led the course. Ray is an agriculture and natural resources agent in Morgan County.
Tammy Cheely holds a similar position for UGA Extension in Warren County. She teaches low-stress cattle management what she calls "cow psychology" under the SWAG banner, but remembers scoffing at the idea of a women-only workshop when it was first suggested more than four years ago.
"My first thought was, `I've spent my entire life being the only girl at the stockyard. Why would I want to do a women thing and put a spotlight on it when I've spent all these

years trying to not be (seen as) the woman?'" Cheely said.
She was a believer after the first of six cow psychology sessions she conducted at the first SWAG workshop held in Athens.
"I realized these women would have never asked the things of me that they asked if it had been a mixed group or if I had been a man teaching," she said.
Just as her course is the antithesis of the "stress and drama and hooping and hollering" school of cattle herding, so is the entire SWAG curriculum.
Ray was getting positive feedback after her first lesson in proper trailer hitching and towing techniques on April 29.
"At least two of the ladies today were like, `You're so encouraging. My husband would have been yelling at me by now,'" Ray said.
That's the benefit of having time to practice and ask questions as you go, said Katie Hammond, superintendent of UGA's Northwest Research and Education Center in Calhoun. Hammond teaches SWAG participants how to operate tractors and equipment. Trying to teach someone new skills like those while you're under the gun puts undue stress on everyone, Hammond said.
"With your spouse you really don't want

to let them down. You're trying hard to do everything perfectly," she said. "Here, there's no pressure."
Participants in the Tifton SWAG class ranged in age from 27 to 71. Some were there to learn how to take some of the burden off their husbands or fathers, the principle farmers back home; some were there to learn for themselves how to improve existing cattle operations or start new ones. They received hands-on experience at calibrating sprayers, installing pasture fencing, and intervening when cows have difficulty calving. The pressures of farm work being what they are, none of those topics could have been covered as comprehensively through on-the-job training.
Kelli Long's farming pedigree is as impressive as they come. The daughter of a South Florida vegetable grower, she married a son of Gerald Long, president of the Georgia Farm Bureau. Since Long was elected to that office, Kelli Long has been asked to assume greater responsibilities on the family's Bainbridge farm.
Theirs is a diversified business that includes cow/calf operations and accompanying hay production, pecans, row crops and a 100-acre vegetable u-pick farm. With three

children ranging in age from 1 to 7 years, there's little time to practice things like backing a stock trailer and working cattle through the chute.
"If I had all the time in the world at the house, that would be different," Kelli Long said.
Ultimately, the course objective is to give women confidence in their abilities.
"A lot of times a lack of knowledge is a lack of confidence," Hammond said.

Mechanical onion harvester is an unusual sight in Georgia
Our roving reporter, Lee Lancaster, an area marketing coordinator for the Georgia Department of Agriculture, caught the Top Air TL2600 at work in a field of Vidalia onions in South Georgia. The harvester is being pulled through the field by a Case 240. A New Holland TB120 is running alongside pulling a flatbed wagon with bins to receive the harvested and inspected onions. The harvester is referred to as a Topper-Lifter because it lifts the onions from the field and removes the husks and roots. The onions are then deposited on an onboard inspection table before being delivered into the bins via a conveyor belt. The harvester idea has not caught on in Georgia because Vidalia onions are softer than western onions. What makes them sweet also makes them vulnerable to damage from mechanical harvesters.
