Regional coordinators help retailers, consumers get the most out of the program

Figuring out what is tax exempt and what is not can be a challenge for producers in the Georgia Agricultural Tax Exemption program. Inputs like fertilizer for crops and fuel for farm equipment are straight-forward. Other items, like tires, can create a pause.
"Tires confused me when I started," said John Allen Bailey, a GATE regional compliance officer who serves Southeast Georgia. "You can buy trailer tires if you're hauling wood on it or equipment, but you can't buy tires for the truck that's pulling the trailer."
Across Georgia, the GATE program is best defined by cardholders and their retailers working together to make sure everyone follows the rules. The program began in 2013 to allow state and local sales tax exemptions on eligible agricultural purchases by qualified agricultural producers. Last year, state legislators made changes to the program that included raising the annual income requirements to participate in GATE from $2,500 to $5,000. Other changes included extending the renewal period from one to three years and requiring producers to use a state tax ID number recognized by the Georgia Department of Revenue.
Bailey and the four other GATE regional compliance officers work statewide to educate the public and help them better understand the program and its rules. The GATE program is a partnership between the Georgia Departments of Agriculture and Revenue. The Department of Revenue's role is to determine what is exempt and what is not, while the Department of Agriculture manages and administers the program.
On the GATE Web site (www.agr.georgia. gov/GATE), items defined as exempt fall un-

and equipment, agricultural production inputs and energy used in agriculture.
Still, that leaves some need for better understanding for both cardholder and retailer, and that is where the compliance officers earn their
law states that lumber is only tax-exempt if it is being used to build a fence to keep livestock.

that causes confusion for a lot of people. The Bailey said it can be tough for a retailer to
turn down a purchase. He explained the one thing that makes GATE successful is the people, both retailers and customers, participating in the program.
"You have to have trust in people to do the right thing," he said. "We don't want anybody to go out of business or lose business because of it, but we do want the county to get their fair share (of sales tax)."
Barry Deas, who covers counties in Southwest Georgia, said compliance officers' training has significantly helped everyone in the program. He said overall, most people work to comply.
Stowers added, "Generally if people know what to do, they are going to follow the rules."
Along with compliance, keeping up with technology is another factor for GATE administrators to consider moving forward. Stowers said that technological advances move just as quickly in agriculture as in other professions. The state's list of items allowed tax-exempt status will have to be updated periodically as a result. Stowers offered technology for poultry house heaters as an example.
"Heaters used to be very simple. You had a pilot light and a thermostat, and then the heater came on," Stowers said. "Now, you have electronic pieces that tell the heater when to turn on and run. The electronics are not tax-exempt the way the law is written, but the heater will not run if they do not have the electronic device. As technology changes, we're going to have to figure out some way that the law can be changed."

Under Waller's direction, the Union
County Schools Nutrition Department joined
forces with its Agriculture Education De-
partment to buy cattle and hogs for students
to raise, show and then sell to the nutrition
department for use in student meals.
The plan was suggested by Dawn von
Hof, cafeteria manager at Union County
Middle School. Von Hof said she was in-
spired while attending FFA livestock shows
with her daughter, Hannah.
"I went to Ms. Waller who, without Ms.
Waller, none of this would be possible," von
Hof said. "Everybody we went to (said) `No,
you can't do this. Nobody's ever done this
in the state of Georgia. It can't be done.' But
she worked and worked and worked, and the
first year we got one cow."

have allowed the ag department to add hogs
to the herd, as well. The program came full circle on May 3
when 600 middle students dined on tacos made with beef raised by their peers at the Union County Schools second annual Farm Meets School Nutrition event, held at the Union County Agricultural and Events Center. In fact, most of the meal served that day was produced in and around Union County and served by lunch ladies wearing T-shirts proclaiming Union County to be the place "Where School Nutrition Meets Local Agriculture."
Hosted jointly by the ag education and nutrition departments, the event exposes middle schoolers to various aspects of agriculture. Some stations were manned by producers, and some by FFA officers.
"Everything they see today, everything they hear, feel, touch, eat comes from our county or surrounding counties," said Ryan Talton, ag teacher and leader of the Young Farmer program in Union County.
"We're here today trying to teach these kids the importance of agriculture and realizing that, let's say you have a chicken... chicken doesn't just fall out of the sky and land on your plate. We're letting them know

Starting a fire for a prescribed burn. (GFC)
Ken Parker says, based on averages, Georgia is about one-half million acres behind on its prescribed burning over the last two years, due to that rain. That could mean increased demand for assistance with plowing and burning as the season approaches.
Forest landowners who want to become certified prescribed burners have upcoming opportunities for learning. Two programs are being offered in coming months: one in Statesboro (Oct. 1-2) and one in Jasper (Dec. 3-4). It's not a slam-dunk process, however.
Applicants must pass a written test, have two years of experience and have been in charge of five prescribed burns before becoming certified in Georgia.
If you're ready to sign up for assistance with pre-suppression firebreak plowing or prescribed burning, contact your local GFC office, where we endorse the advice of author and time management guru, Alan Lakein: "Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now!"
My Tractor Story: A tale of fancy war machines and an Allis Chalmers "B"
By Carl Nelson
Atlanta
The story of my 1946 Allis Chalmers "B" tractor actually starts in 1945 with my cousin, Tom, returning from overseas at the end of World War II. In those days, the only news that people received about the war was through radio and newsreels, so they were anxious to hear Tom's first-hand accounts of the war.
As Tom told about German airplanes that didn't have a propeller but were so fast you couldn't shoot them down (the jet propulsion ME-262) and German tanks that were so heavily armored that bullets and shells would just bounce off of them, people began to give him incredulous looks. It was clear that they didn't believe him, making comments like, "Thomas, if the Germans had weapons like that they would have won the war!"
The men walked away saying, "What's gotten into that boy, thinking we would believe stories like that?"
After that, no one asked Tom any more questions about the war.
Despite people not believing his stories, Tom had learned from his war experience the
value of modern equipment. Having the proper machine to perform the designated job was key to success. At a time when everyone he knew was still farming with a mule, Tom realized things had to change.
He purchased a new 1946 Allis Chalmers "B" tractor and was immediately the center of attention among his relatives and neighbors. People would literally drive from miles around to see Tom's new tractor and watch it perform. He was the envy of everyone, and eventually the people he knew began to follow his lead and purchase their own tractors.
The Allis Chalmers didn't have a battery or electric starter, so Tom would have to crank it using the hand-crank. He would hold up two fingers, indicating it would crank on the second try; usually he was right.
Carl Nelson restored the 1946 Allis Chalmers "B" tractor his cousin, Tom Dotson, bought after World War II. (Family photos)
He used the Allis Chalmers for more than 50 years, until his death. Tom never married, so he fed all of the members of his extended family from the vegetables he would harvest every year from his garden.
His family, knowing that I enjoyed tractors and farming, gave the Allis Chalmers to me after Tom's death. The tractor had never been under a shed the entire time Tom had it, so I decided to refurbish it and try to return it to the way it looked in 1946. During this
restoration period, I had an electric starter installed and had Tom's name painted on the side of the tractor. I drove the tractor in a number of local parades but never farmed with it.
Both the tractor and I are now retired. I keep it for sentimental value in memory of my cousin. It sits under its own shed and I sit in my swing on the back porch a few feet away. Every once in a while, I go out and crank it, just to hear it run.

Georgie's Drive Thru Lothair
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our No. 1 industry agriculture! One of the places I travel through on a weekly basis is Lothair (pronounced Low-thair). Signs near Lothair point to a small community called Troup's Tomb. There you'll find a field containing a stone memorial. Former Gov. George M. Troup and his brother are buried inside the stone hewn walls that surround the memorial. Troup was born during the American Revolution near modern-day Mobile, Ala., when Georgia stretched all the way from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River. Troup grew up to be a state legislator, U.S. Congressman, U.S. Senator (two different times), and a twoterm Georgia Governor. Troup County is named after him, as well as Troupville, the former seat of Lowndes County. The present-day seat of Lowndes County government is named after the plantation where Troup lived, called Valdosta. But, the original Valdosta is in Laurens County, not Lowndes. You'll find it just south of Dublin on GA Highway 199, near where Valdosta Baptist Church and Riverbend WMA are now located. Troup owned a second plantation near Lothair, called Rosemont, where he was visiting one day later in life and died in 1856.
where their food comes from," said Logan Hart, Union County FFA president. "Agriculture is important and no matter what it's always going to keep growing."
Hart himself had no experience in the field until someone pointed him toward an ag class in middle school. He was inspired to start his own farm, which consisted of 150 chickens and 50 rabbits. And while he conceded that one can never be sure if students are really learning at off-site events or just

reveling in a day away from the classroom, planting the seed with just one student will pay dividends down the road.
"With any event you're going to have people that are like, `Ugh, I don't want to be here,' and people that are like, `Oh, this is really interesting,' but I definitely think no matter what background they're coming from they're going to go home with some kind of knowledge and something that sticks with them, no matter what."
We Want Your Opinion
The Market Bulletin is migrating to a new software program for Classified management in July, and this new program will offer a greater degree of flexibility with the information contained in our Classified ads. Quite a few advertisers have communicated some concern about our practice of using first and last names in our Classified ads, and in fact, it's not common practice in the newspaper industry. Our new software will make this an option rather than a requirement going forward, but before we take a stand one way or the other, we want to hear your thoughts. If you have strong feelings one way or the other, please drop us a line at MarketBulletin@agr.georgia. gov or call 404.656.3722 and tell us what you think.
Lee Lancaster/GDA Georgia-grown beef, apples, strawberries and sweet corn were on the menu.
Cook Georgia Grown:
Desperately seeking Char House Strawberry Icebox Pie
Editor's Note: Like Sherlock Holmes working a mystery, we have been looking for the recipe to the Strawberry Icebox Pie served at the Char House restaurant, late of Sandy Springs. Reader Patricia Kennedy set this hunt in motion. She retired to Florida after living in metro Atlanta for many years and swears that the Char House pie was a slice of heaven right here on earth.
We took up the challenge, and as Holmes would say to Dr. Watson, "The game is afoot!" We have seen a few recipes on the Internet, and one claims to be the Char House recipe. However, Ms. Kennedy says they are false flags. The game continues.
Since publishing Ms. Kennedy's initial appeal in our June 19 issue, we've received two recipes that are strong candidates for being THE Char House recipe, and a couple of letters from readers who share Ms. Kennedy's fond memories for the pie.
Can you help? Write to Associate Editor Jay Jones, jay.jones@ agr.georgia.gov, or call us at 404.656.3722.
Dear Editor, I do so hope you were able to place a few words in your today's edition of the Bulletin's recipe column for the pie. Please let me know. I'm so anxious. Many thanks, Patricia Kennedy
Dear Editor, We lived in Sandy Springs for two years, from 1964 to 1966, and became acquainted with the strawberry pie at that time and
absolutely loved it! We have been in search ourselves for this recipe. There was one on the Internet that attempted to duplicate it a few years ago, but now I cannot find it. If any of the readers of the Market Bulletin provide you with this recipe, I would love to have it also!
Lover of Char House Strawberry Pie, Donna Carter
Dear Editor,
If you receive that recipe, will you email it to me? Sounds fabulous.
Thanks, Judy Dunn
Strawberry Icebox Pie Recipe No. 1
A woman called in the first recipe to us over the telephone. She declined to give her name, but said this recipe is from her mother, who lived in Sandy Springs and knew the Char House's Strawberry Icebox Pie very well. The woman declined to say whether this was THE recipe, or her mother's attempt to copy the Char House pie:
Ingredients (Crust and Filling): 2 cups finely chopped pretzels 2 cups butter melted cup of firmly packed light-brown sugar 2 cups strawberries 14 oz. sweetened condensed milk of an 8 oz. pkg. of cream cheese 4 Tbsps. and 1 tsp. of strawberry gelatin mix 2 cups whipping cream 1/3 cup of granulated sugar
Directions (Crust): Preheat oven to 350 F.
Stir together the chopped pretzels, butter and brown sugar. Firmly press the mixture into the bottoms and sides of a 10-inch pie plate. Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly brown. Allow to cool completely, minimum 30 minutes.
Directions (Filling): Process strawberries in a food processor until finely chopped; scrape down the sides. Set aside.
Place the condensed milk, cream cheese and gelatin in a mixer and mix until smooth. Add the strawberries and mix at a low speed until blended. Transfer to a large bowl.
Beat the whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipping cream into the strawberry mix. Spoon into the pie crust. This should leave about 1 cups of the filling mixture. Keep for topping.
Cover and freeze for 12 hours or until firm. Beat the remaining filling mixture until foamy; add the granulated sugar. Continue beating mixture until soft peaks form and spread over top of pie. Freeze for 1 hour or until topping is firm.
Strawberry Icebox Pie Recipe No. 2
The second recipe comes from Chris Colley in Loganville. Chris said she got this recipe from her boss when she worked at S & H Green Stamps years ago.
"She gave me this pie recipe and said this is exactly the same as the pie at Shoney's and that restaurant in Sandy Springs," she said. Could "that restaurant in Sandy Springs" be the Char House? You be the judge:
Ingredients: 1 qts. strawberries (must be fresh berries) 1 cups water
1 cups sugar 9 tsps. corn starch Red food coloring 6 Tbsps. strawberry gelatin mix (equals to one
small box) Two 8-inch baked pie shells
Directions: Place strawberries in fridge to cool before preparation. Mix water, sugar, corn starch and a few drops of red food coloring into a sauce pan. Cook mixture until thick, then add the gelatin mix.
Allow all mixture to cool, then add the strawberries. Pour mixture into two baked 8-inch pie shells.
Keep in refrigerator and enjoy.
"You don't freeze it," Chris Colley said. "I think all recipes from the '60s said that at the end: `Keep in refrigerator and enjoy.'"

These are the types of open burning that are legal in Georgia, but that may be prohibited during the Georgia Environmental Protection Division's Open Burn Ban that lasts from May 1 through Sept. 30. Note that the burning of garbage or lumber, even in a burn barrel, is illegal.
Burn Type 1: Reduction of leaves on premises of origin. Burn Type 2: Agricultural procedures for production or harvesting of
crops (if land tract is 5 acres or less). Burn Type 3: Burning vegetative material for agricultural operations
(if land tract is greater than 5 acres). Burn Type 4: Prescribed burning. Burn Type 5: Recreational purposes and cooking. Burn Type 6: Fire-fighting training. Burn Type 7: Acquired structure burns. Burn Type 8: Vegetative debris from storms. Burn Type 9: Weed abatement, disease and pest prevention Burn Type 10: Open-flame devices. Burn Type 11: Land clearing, construction and right-of-way
maintenance
Some Georgia counties and cities have burning restrictions that are more stringent than the open burning ban. You may need a burn
permit from the Georgia Forestry Commission before conducting any burning. EPD recommends that citizens check with their local Fire Marshall and the Georgia Forestry Commission before conducting any burning.

Novel watermelon rootstock knocks out disease and pests
By Sandra Avant USDA Public Affairs Specialist
CHARLESTON, S.C. A new water-
melon line, developed by Agricultural
Research Service and Clemson University
scientists, gets to the root of the problem
of a major disease and pest of watermelon
crops in the southern United States.
Carolina Strongback is a rootstock wa-
termelon that is resistant to Fusarium wilt
and the southern root-knot nematode, ac-
cording to William "Pat" Wechter, plant
pathologist with the ARS U.S. Vegetable
Research Laboratory in Charleston, S.C.
Fusarium wilt, a soilborne disease that
threatens vegetable crops, can stay in the
soil for 30 years or longer, and fumigants
used to control it are no longer available,

are especially brutal on crops in the Southeast.
Susceptible watermelons can be grafted onto resistant When tested in highly infested soils with fusarium and
rootstocks of other vegetables such as squash and pumpkin to nematodes, Carolina Strongback performed well and main-

possessed resistance to Fusarium wilt and nematodes. Work-
ing with USVL geneticist Amnon Levi, Wechter crossed the Citrullus amarus lines, and then made selections for numerous generations to produce the best plants. Wechter partnered with Clemson University horticulture scientist Richard Hassell, an expert at grafting rootstock, to test the plants. They continued to make more selections to produce the final resistant line Carolina Strongback.
Selected for its grafting qualities and seed production, Carolina Strongback material can be used by seed companies, vegetable grafting companies and watermelon growers as a rootstock for growing susceptible watermelon cultivars in soils infested by the watermelon Fusarium wilt pathogen and root-knot nematodes.
ARS has filed a Plant Variety Protection on this technology and is working with a commercial company on a licensing agreement.

Horse club gives back to community, helps maintain public trails
By Jay Jones jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
Members of the Kel-Mac Saddle Club prove that there is more to horseback riding than hitting a trail on a weekend ride.
The club hosts several shows each year to support nonprofit organizations and horse trails at state and local parks. They also hold trail clean up days throughout the year. As club member Lori Williams explained, the outlook of club members is that putting saddles on their horses before a ride is the reward following a lot of volunteer work.
"It's social, and it's also service," Williams said. The club hosts four horse shows each year in the spring and fall as its major fundraising events. The club announced last month they finished 2018 raising $5,000 from horse shows that helped support nonprofits like the Georgia Equine Rescue League, Morgan County Empty Stocking Fund and the Calvin Center's Horses and Warriors veterans' rehabilitation program. Part of the money raised from the shows also goes to support the maintenance and improvement of equestrian facilities and trails at state and local parks. The club supports trails and facilities at state parks including A. H. Stephens in Crawfordville, Hard Labor Creek in Rutledge and Watson Mill Bridge in Comer, as well as locally owned parks such as Oconee County's Heritage Park in Watkinsville. The shows are open to anyone and offer opportunities for riders to test their skills across breeds and classes from beginner to experienced riders of all ages. Classes in each show cover English and Western riders. The shows also have judging classes for gaited horses. "Any type of equine that you've got can compete in these classes: horses, ponies, mules, donkeys," she said. "It's just a fun day to come and learn new things." Williams also noted the separate trail challenge area at the shows that demonstrate teamwork between horse and rider. "The trail challenge area shows how you and your horse work as a team handling obstacles backing up, side-passing or moving sideways or moving one part of the body," she said. "It's a way of challenging yourself on your relationship with your horse and the training you both have done." Williams said the shows also display the spirit of the club's members to help whenever they can. Club members put in over 3,000 hours of volunteer work to run the horse shows

that are held in April, May, September and October. Founded 43 years ago, Kel-Mac Saddle Club has grown
to more than 100 members, many of which are family group memberships. Williams said that the club is very much like a family that crosses generations. She said parents, grandparents and children participate in club activities each year.
Symbolizing the family connections in the club, Williams said club founder Norm Grayson died in April, but his legacy continues when his great-grandson competed in a horse show last fall.
"That was pretty cool to have four generations participate over the years," Williams said.
Kel-Mac's next horse shows are Sept. 21 and Oct. 12 at the Morgan County Agricultural Center, located at 2380 Athens Hwy, Madison, Ga. 30650.
