GDA fuel inspectors find 10 credit card skimmers in July
Consumers advised to be aware, rethink paying at the gas pump

By Amy Carter
amy.carter@agr.georgia.gov
Inspectors for the Georgia Department of Agriculture's Fuel and Measures Division discovered 10 credit card skimmers concealed inside gas pumps in Southwest Georgia in July. That number represents nearly half of all skimmers found by state inspectors since 2015.
Cedric Lloyd, deputy director of Fuel and Measures in Atlanta, said inspectors have been checking for credit card skimmers as part of their routine verifications of fuel quality and equipment accuracy since the crime became a problem in Florida. According to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the number of skimming devices found by fuel inspectors there has more than tripled from 169 in 2015 to 1,205 in 2018. Year-to-date, Florida inspectors have found 960 skimmers.
Inspectors in Florida look for skimmers during every

scheduled inspection, during all complaint inspections and on periodic skimmer sweep inspections. That intense focus may be why Georgia is seeing an uptick.
"They may be moving this way," Lloyd said of the criminal enterprises that defraud consumers using skimmers.
Skimmers are electronic devices installed inside fuel pump cabinets. The skimmer bypasses the legitimate card reader and scans the magnetic strip on a credit or debit card that contains the cardholder's financial information.
Clint Bush, resident agent in charge of the United State Secret Service Resident Office in Albany, said there's no way for a consumer to know they've encountered a skimmer until they become a victim of financial fraud. Most skimmers nowadays are Bluetooth-enabled, which allows a criminal to sit in a car 100 to 150 feet away, pair his smart phone with the skimmer and capture every card transaction made on a pump.
That is how a skimmer was found at a Northwest Georgia

Welcome to our world, little ones
Stephanie Peterson and her second-grade students discuss the chicks that hatched in their classroom at Westside Elementary School in Valdosta. Westside is one of 20 elementary schools statewide that are participating in a three-year pilot program to establish an agriculture curriculum in elementary schools. Peterson explained that agriculture offers a mix of science, business administration and civics. Her class will also grow vegetables in the school garden during the growing seasons. Students will eventually sell their produce at the school's farmers market to raise money for other class projects. (Beth Meeks/GDA)

News reports highlight the importance of preventing algal blooms in ponds, lakes
By Sharon Dowdy and Merritt Melancon

The sudden and unexpected death of a Marietta couple's beloved dog after swimming with its owners in Lake Allatoona has filled social media feeds since the incident on Aug. 10. The incident brings to light the dangers of toxic algae growth. In neighboring North Carolina, another couple lost three dogs in one day after an afternoon swim in a pond.
The cause has been identified as the blue-green algae species Microcystis aeruginosa, a cyanobacteria that produces a potent liver toxin.
Algae often grows in ponds and lakes during abnormally dry conditions such as those Georgia is currently experiencing. Toxin-producing algae can be lethal to livestock who use farm ponds as their water source, but common toxins like microcystins can also impact larger bodies of water, said Gary Burtle, University of Georgia water quality and fisheries expert.
While Georgia isn't officially in a drought, areas of the state have been hotter and drier than normal, Burtle said.
Conditions like these can cause more algae to grow and bloom in bodies of water as a result of the increased nutri-
See AGAL BLOOMS, page 15

UGA graduate student Jamie Morgan tests the water in an algae-filled pond in Dacula in this UGA file photo. UGA's Cooperative Extension Service is urging Georgians to keep animals away from ponds that may contain high levels of toxin-producing algae due to the recent heat and dry weather.

GATE Corner:
Answers to your questions about Georgia's Agricultural Tax Exemption Program

By Bryant Kersey

Welcome to the GATE Corner.

My name is Bryant Kersey, GATE

(Georgia Agricultural Tax Exemption)

Program Manager. It is the goal of the

GATE program to provide important in-

formation and bring awareness of issues

concerning the farming and agricultural

Bryant Kersey

community. My staff and I will also be available to answer any questions that

come in from our subscribers that are farm or agriculture re-

lated. Please email your questions to me at FarmTax@agr.

georgia.gov.

Let's start by saying the 2019 GATE program is a success

and thriving. The farming community has adopted chang-

es made to the program in 2018 and navigated through our

new website with very few problems. In order to make the

program more efficient for retailers and merchants, we have

developed a new feature under "2019 Card Status." This fea-

ture allows for verification of current and past status of the

card holder. Also, updating your account information has never been
easier. With the replacement card feature, with its small fee, you are just a review and a click away from receiving your new updated cards. Remember, you may review the FAQs on the website at https://forms.agr.georgia.gov/GATE/, where you'll find answers to most questions you might have. Under the "Other Information" link we try to supply you with commonly needed forms for reimbursements.
In order to assist you further, we have a fully staffed Call Center. These professionals are available between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday thru Friday and may be reached at 855.327.6829.
Our Compliance Officers cover all 159 counties in Georgia and are available for group meetings and one-on-one discussions about the GATE program. Their contact information is available under the "Related Resources" (overview) link on the website.
Until our next issue of the Market Bulletin, remember: "To farm is to enjoy something that's worthy of your time and talent."

My Tractor Story:
A love of red tractors runs in the family
By Adam Hayes Summerville

Georgie's Drive Thru Americus
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our No. 1 industry, agriculture! Charles Lindbergh made the first solo, non-stop transatlantic flight in history in 1927. But his first solo flight ever was at Souther Field (now called the Jimmy Carter Airport) near Americus. Lindbergh earned money for his first flying lessons as a wing-walker at barnstorming shows in the early 1920s. He came to Americus in 1923 and purchased a surplus World War I trainer biplane for $500. After studying the controls for 30 minutes or so, he took off and practiced flying through the skies of South Georgia for about a week. Four years later, he worked with two businessmen from Missouri to build a single-engine high-wing monoplane christened the Spirit of St. Louis. Lindbergh took off from New York in that plane on May 20, 1927, and landed near Paris 33 hours and 450 gallons of fuel later. An officer in the U.S. Army Air Corps Reserve at the time, Lindbergh won the highest military decoration the United States gives, the Medal of Honor, for that flight. A statue at Souther Field in Sumter County, Georgia, reminds everyone of how a young wing-walker came to Americus to buy a plane and became a hero to little boys and pups like me for generations.

We have a small hobby farm in Summerville where we grow and sell produce and cut and sell firewood.

We love red tractors and take some of our antique tractors to area shows. We have several Farmalls: a 1941 B, 1941 H, 1952 Super A (which was my grandfather's) and a 1960 International 240. The 1995 Massey Ferguson 1160 in the photo with my son Jack's pedal tractor is the workhorse on the property.

Our son Jack is now 2 1/2 years old, and he loves tractors.

Jack is shown in May 2018 with the family's 1941 Farmall H.

Adam Hayes is driving his 1995 Massey Ferguson 1160, while Jack is driving his Case IH Magnum with matching trailer.

Three generations: Alison Hayes, Jack Hayes and Adam Hayes with their 1941 Farmall B at the Bostwick Cotton Gin Festival in November 2018.

Do you have a tractor story to tell? We'd love to share it with our readers. Write to Lee Lancaster in care of the Market Bulletin, or email lee. lancaster@agr.georgia.gov.

Mercer Medical Moment:
Health information fact or fiction? Tips for evaluating online websites

By Carolann Curry, MLIS and Carolyn Klatt, MLIS

Have you ever searched for health-related information online? Have

you ever viewed or shared a health post on a social media platform? Or

have you ever installed a health app on your mobile device? If so, you are

not alone.

According to a 2013 Pew Research Center Report, six-in-ten (59 per-

Carolann Curry

cent) of U.S. adults say that within the past year they have gone online to look for health information for either themselves or for someone they

know. Of those information seekers, only 13 percent began their search

at a website that specializes in medical information. This is a potential

concern because there is no overarching body that regulates online infor-

mation, so whatever medical information that you stumble across online

may be at risk of being outdated, biased or outright wrong.

So how can you trust the health information you find online? The Na-

tional Institutes of Health's Center for Complementary and Integrative

Health recommends that information seekers evaluate the quality of a

health website by asking five quick questions:

Carolyn Klatt

Who? Who runs the website? Who is the creator of the app? Look for information that is backed by governmental agencies (e.g. the Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention) or professional health organizations (e.g. the Ameri-

can Heart Association). Websites affiliated with clinics or hospitals (e.g. the Mayo Clinic)

and sites affiliated with colleges or universities are also good choices for reliable health

information. Sites that end in ".gov" (a government entity) or ".edu" (a higher educational

institution) are more likely to be credible.

What? What is the site offering? Do the claims seem too good to be true? Oftentimes less

trustworthy websites use sensationalized language and text formatting. Be wary of CAPI-

TAL LETTERS AND EXCLAMATION POINTS!!! Reputable health information should

be presented in an objective manner, not appealing to emotions.

When? When was the information written or last reviewed? Is it outdated? It is always

good practice to view the "published on" or "reviewed on" dates. The medical field is rap-

idly developing and information changes constantly with the publication of new research.

Information posted just one year ago can already be outdated.

Where? Where does the information come from? Is it based on scientific research? Do the

claims reference any sources? Websites and mobile health apps should always be transpar-

ent with where they are retrieving information from. Be wary of websites where the content

authors are not listed. Ideally, information will be clearly sourced so you can verify it from

another resource.

Why? Why does the website exist? Are they trying to sell you a product or service? When

looking at health information, consider why the website, app or social media post exists.

Links to products usually mean that the content originator receives compensation for pur-

chases made through the site. When a site ends in ".com." it means that the site is a com-

mercial organization and potentially generates revenue through sales or advertisements.

These sites could be biased in the information they present as they are financially-driven.

Don't fall victim to health information fiction. When evaluating online content, always utilize the five quick questions: Who? What? When? Where? Why? If in doubt, the Mercer School of Medicine hosts a site specifically for consumer health information at https://med. mercer.edu/libraries/consumer-health.htm. Here readers can find links to toll free numbers and online medical reference sources, including tips on finding a health care provider, consulting with a health care provider, interpreting laboratory tests, understanding health insurance resources, and identifying prescription drug cost and medical cost assistance.

FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN 404-656-3722 agr.georgia.gov

MB Classified rules get an update

The Georgia Department of Agriculture enforces certain rules regarding Classified advertisements published in the Farmers and Consumers Market Bulletin. Our over-arching rule is that items advertised be farm- or agriculture-related. More important is the requirement that livestock owners provide documentation attesting to the health of their animals before we publish ads offering those animals for sale. Our goal is to protect the viability of Georgia Agriculture and the farmers and consumers who look to us as a reputable venue for buying and selling goods and services. As part of our year-long transition to a new software platform that will modernize production of this paper, we've also been working with various divisions of the GDA and other state agencies to update the rules that govern Classified advertisements submitted for publication. Those rules are accessible online at http://www.agr.georgia. gov/advertising-information.aspx, and will be published in the paper periodically as space allows. Below is a more specific explanation of our requirements written by Allison Hawk, a senior at the University of Georgia majoring in Agribusiness and Agricultural Communications. Allison served a summer internship with our Communications Division.

Animals in General: Animals advertised for sale must be healthy and free of disease to protect consumers from purchasing unhealthy animals, and to prevent the spread of disease to other animals.
Out-of-State Animals: To ensure consumers are purchasing healthy animals and to protect the health of animals already in Georgia, out-of-state animals must meet all Interstate Animal Health Movement Requirements along with other requirements for specific species.
Goats and Sheep, Swine, and Poultry/Fowl for sale: Licenses and health requirements for these categories are in place to protect the livestock industry from disease and prevent the spread of disease. These regulations also assist in monitoring the movement of the animals throughout the state. Certain requirements in these categories comply with federal law.
Equine for Sale: According to the rules of the Georgia Department of Agriculture Animal Industry Division, equine being sold must test negative for equine infectious anemia within the previous 12 months, and the original test record issued by the laboratory must be transferred to the new owner.

Boarding Facilities: Rules regarding stables in the Georgia Animal Protection Act set a standard by which equine should be cared for. Boarding and breeding facilities must be licensed to confirm they are adhering to these rules and are caring for equine in a humane manner.
Poultry/Fowl Requiring Permit/License: Wood ducks are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which was enacted to preserve the populations of native birds in the United States. Under this law, it is illegal to sell any protected birds without a valid federal permit. Georgia law does not allow for quail to be used for commercial purposes unless it is a quail that has been hatched and raised in a pen or coop. The Commercial Quail Breeder's License assures the birds being sold satisfy these requirements.
Non-traditional Livestock: The Georgia Department of Agriculture follows regulations set in place by the United States Department of Agriculture. Since both Brucellosis and Tuberculosis are contagious and can be transmissible to humans, certain species of non-traditional livestock for sale must be accompanied by negative tests. Identification of individual animals allows for easy traceability of movement and helps prevent the spread of disease.

Ag Seed for Sale: A current state laboratory report verifies the seed for sale has reliable quality as well as accurate labeling information. The accuracy of the required labeling information allows consumers to make informed decisions before purchasing.
Flowers Requiring Permits: A permit to sell protected plants is required to maintain the population of such plants and keep them from extinction by trade. Ginseng is protected under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, so dealers and growers must register with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) annually. This allows for the DNR to keep track of growing and selling, as well as protect ginseng from extinction.
Fish and Supplies: Grass carp are a non-native species in Georgia. To prevent grass carp from reproducing and becoming an invasive species, breeders must obtain a Wild Animal License that ensures the carp being sold are sterile. It is illegal to catch and sell game fish from public waters. Entities producing and selling these fish must have an Aquaculture Registration Permit that certifies they were raised domestically.

Farmers and Consumers Market Bulletin Classified Guidelines

The guidelines listed here apply to specific Classified categories. All categories are published in every issue. Ads in all categories are limited to 25 words and run for two consecutive issues.
Animals in General All animals offered for sale in the Market Bulletin must be healthy and apparently free of any contagious, infectious or communicable disease. All animals advertised must be individually and specifically identified. Ads for free or unwanted livestock will not be published.
PLEASE NOTE: Individuals may sell their own animals; however, livestock dealers are required to have a Livestock Dealer License from GDA. For more information, please call the Animal Protection Division at 404.656.4914.
Aquaculture & Supplies Advertisers selling sterile triploid grass carp must submit a current Wild Animal License from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. Ads submitted without this license will not be published. In addition, entities producing and selling or reselling domestic fish in Georgia are required to obtain a free Aquaculture Registration permit. For more information on aquaculture rules and licensing in Georgia, including a listing of domestic fish and other fish species requiring a Wild Animal License, visit https://georgiawildlife.com/aquaculture or call 770.761.3044.
Boarding Facilities The Georgia Animal Protection Act requires boarding and breeding facilities to be licensed. A current license number must be submitted with notices for publication in the "Boarding Facilities" category. Notices submitted without this information will not be published. For more information, please call the GDA Equine Health Division at 404.656.3713.
Employment Farm Help Needed and Seeking Farm Employment ads must be related to agricultural farm work. Ads submitted for domestic help, companions, baby sitters, housekeepers, etc. will not be published.
Equine Advertisers in the Equine or Equine Stud Services categories must submit current negative Coggins tests for each equine advertised. This includes horses, ponies and donkeys. Buyers are urged to request verification of a negative Coggins from the advertiser before purchasing any equine. Generalized ads, such as those selling "many horses" or "variety to choose from," will not be published. For more information, please call the GDA Equine Health Division at 404.656.3713.

Farmland for Sale Realtors or anyone holding a real estate license, even if not currently a practicing Realtor, may not advertise in this category, unless advertising personal property. Farmland for Sale ads must include county and city the farmland is being submitted for. Farmland advertised must be owned by the subscriber placing the ad.
Farmland Rent/Lease, Wanted Realtors or anyone holding a real estate license, even if not currently a practicing Realtor, may not submit ads in these categories, unless advertising personal property. Farmland advertised must be owned by the subscriber placing the ad.
Farm Machinery Please indicate if machinery advertised is in running condition.
Farm Supplies Please indicate if machinery, power tools or equipment advertised is in running condition.
Firewood Firewood must be cut from the advertiser's personal property. Ads for firewood must use the cord when specifying the amount of firewood for sale.
Goats and Sheep All goats and sheep offered for sale must be individually identified in compliance with the USDA Scrapie Program. For more information, please call the GDA Animal Protection Division at 404.656.4914.
Heavy Equipment Please indicate if equipment advertised is in running condition.
Lawn and Garden Please indicate if machinery, equipment or power tools advertised are in running condition.
Non-traditional Livestock Advertisers selling fallow deer, axis deer, sika deer, elk, red deer, reindeer and caribou must submit a current deer farming license with their ads. Farmed deer greater than 12 months old are required to have a negative Brucellosis test within 30 days and a negative TB test within 90 days to move intrastate. Ads submitted without a copy of the license and negative sample results (if applicable) will not be published. For information about deer farming licenses, contact the Georgia Department of Agriculture Livestock and Poultry Section at 404.656.3665. For information on other hoofed stock, excluding llamas and water buffalo, contact the Georgia Department of Natural Resources at 770.761.3044.

Camelids (llama, alpaca) must be individually identified; bison (some people mistakenly call them buffalo) and water buffalo must meet the same requirements as cattle. Antelope must be individually and officially identified, and 6 months of age and older are required to have a negative Brucellosis test within 30 days and a negative TB test within 90 days prior to entering Georgia.
PLEASE NOTE: Importation of any cervid into Georgia requires a special permit from the GDA State Veterinarian and DNR. At this time, cervids are not permitted into the State.
Out-of-State Animals All out-of-state animals offered for sale in the Market Bulletin must meet all Interstate Animal Health Movement Requirements including appropriate testing for the species and a current official Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (health certificate) or NPIP 9-3 for poultry. For more information, please call the GDA Animal Protection Division at 404.656.4914.
Plants/Flowers Advertisers selling officially protected plants must have a permit to sell such plants. Ads submitted without this permit will not be published. For information on the sale or shipment of protected plants, visit https:// www.fws.gov/Endangered/permits/index.html or call the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at 404.679.7097. For questions about ginseng, visit https:// georgiawildlife.com/ginsengprogram or call the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Ginseng Management Program at 706.557.3213.
Poultry/Fowl for Sale Any person engaged in buying live poultry of any kind for resale, or in selling live poultry of any kind bought for resale, must be licensed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture. Possessing such a license does not by itself disqualify an individual from advertising poultry in the Market Bulletin. Chicks, ducklings, etc., must have been raised by the advertiser before offering them for sale in the Market Bulletin. Mallard ducks must be at least three generations from the wild before they can be advertised in the Market Bulletin. Advertisers must include this information in notices submitted for publication.
PLEASE NOTE: Out-of-state poultry must have a negative Avian Influenza test and negative pullorum test within 21 days of entering Georgia. For more information, please call the GDA Animal Protection Division at 404.656.4914.
Poultry/Fowl Requiring Permit/License Advertisers selling wood ducks must submit a Waterfowl Sale permit with the ad. Ads for wood ducks that do not have this permit will not be published. For permit information, email permitsR4MB@fws.gov or call the U.S.

Fish & Wildlife Service at 404.679.7070. Advertisements selling pen-raised Bobwhite quail must be accompanied by a copy of the Commercial Quail Breeder's License. Ads for quail that do not have this license will not be published.

Stock Dogs Advertisers must submit a copy of a current Rabies Vaccination Certificate signed by a licensed veterinarian for dogs 12 weeks and older. Ads submitted without this information will not be published.
Swine Advertisers submitting swine ads must submit proof of a negative brucellosis and pseudorabies test from within the past 30 days. Exceptions are swine from a validated brucellosis-free herd and/or qualified pseudorabies-free herd; these operations must submit proof of those certifications. Buyers are urged to request proof of a negative brucellosis and pseudorabies test prior to purchase.
PLEASE NOTE: Feral hogs may not be offered for sale or advertised in the Market Bulletin. For further information on the transportation and holding of feral hogs, please refer to GDA Rules Chapter 40-13-15 located at http://agr.georgia. gov/Data/Sites/1/media/ag_animalindustry/ livestock_and_poultry/files/Feral-Hog-Rules2018-FINAL.pdf.

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.

Submit samples for the Southeastern Hay Contest by Sept. 19
Winners will be announced at the Sunbelt Ag Expo in October

By Clint Thompson

Hay producers interested in participating in the Southeastern Hay Contest should enter by Sept. 19. The winners of this year's hay contest will be announced at the Sunbelt Ag Expo in Moultrie on Oct. 15. (UGA photo)

During the Southeastern Hay Contest at the 2019 Sunbelt Ag Expo, Georgia hay producers have a chance to compare the quality of their hay and win cash prizes.
Any producer in Georgia and other Southeastern states including Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma (east of I-35), South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas (east of I-35) and Virginia can submit a sample, but entries must be submitted by the farm where the forage was grown.
Those interested in submitting an entry can download the rules and entry form at Southeastern Hay Contest website, www. site.caes.uga.edu/sehaycontest/. The deadline to enter is Sept. 19.
The entries are divided into seven categories with a $150 prize for first place, $100 for second place and $75 for third in each category. The categories are warm season perennial grass hay; cool season perennial grass hay; perennial peanut hay; alfalfa hay; mixed annual grass or other hay; legume baleage; and grass baleage.
A grand prize winner of $1,000 and the use of a Massey Ferguson RK Series rotary rake or a new Massey Ferguson DM

Series Professional disc mower for the 2020 hay production season will also be announced.
"From an Extension point of view, the purpose of the contest is to encourage producers to test their hay samples. Regardless of whether they win or not, that's going to help them to know how they need to feed that hay in the winter," said Lisa Baxter, University of Georgia Cooperative Extension forage agronomist. "It can save them money down the road."
Entries will be judged by the UGA Feed and Environmental Water Lab using near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy testing procedures. The sample with the highest relative forage quality score wins. The RFQ score rates the forage quality based on protein, energy and fiber digestibility.
While all farmers should regularly test their hay, Baxter admits not all do. This contest provides added incentive for all hay producers.
"It does cost to submit a sample to a UGA lab or other labs and to enter the contest, but when you consider what that could save you this winter and knowing how you need to feed that hay, it generally pays for itself," Baxter said. "This is especially true

in a year like this where we run a risk of high-nitrate or low-quality forage. That $20 hay sample is a lot cheaper than what it would cost to replace an animal."
Nitrates refers to nitrate ions in the forage, which can kill forage animals. This happens when farmers apply too much nitrogen in anticipation of rain, which would promote regrowth and lower nitrate levels. However, rains were sparse this summer and nitrate levels will peak immediately following a rain event. Although producers may be tempted to turn animals onto the forage or cut hay/baleage, they should wait a minimum of seven days from application to allow the nitrates concentrations to decrease, Baxter said.
"What's going to throw a lot of people out this year are the nitrates. You could have the best sample in the world, but if it's more than 5,000 (parts per million nitrate-to-nitrogen), you're immediately disqualified," Baxter said.
The winners of this year's hay contest will be announced at the Sunbelt Ag Expo in Moultrie on Oct. 15.

Algal Blooms: Humans, animals should avoid affected water bodies
Continued From Page 1

ent load in ponds and lakes, he said. In ponds used to water cattle and horses, this might lead to problems with toxic algae and unsightly water.
Color changes in a pond can be a clue that algae are blooming. Blooms of algae and cyanobacteria often look like green, blue-green or reddish-brown paint floating on the surface of small bodies of water, usually near the shoreline. This scum formed by algae is an indicator that the pond may be unsafe, Burtle said.
"Humans should not swim in this water and animals should not be allowed access to it until the bloom returns to normal by dilution from rainfall or treatment with algaecide," said Burtle, who has fielded numerous calls

from UGA Cooperative Extension agents this week as questions have poured in from the public. "You know a pond is headed for trouble when the algae bloom is so thick that visibility is less than 12 inches into the water column."
In 2012, Georgia experienced serious drought conditions and some Gwinnett County cattle died as a result of a cyanobacteria bloom. Animals affected often appear weak, exhibit muscle tremors and convulsions, and have bloody diarrhea.
Farm animals should be kept away from the water source and provided with an alternative source of clean water until the pond has been tested and is declared free of toxins, Burtle said.

"If you have a fear about the water, move your animals to a safe water source," Burtle said. "Install a water tank and fill it up every day or so. And use common sense. If there's a scum on the pond and you think there might be a problem, exclude your animals and have the water tested."
UGA Extension agents can help Georgians test their pond or lake water for the presence of toxins from algae blooms through UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences laboratories.
Cyanobacteria blooms in ponds and lakes are difficult to control, Burtle said. Using chemicals releases more toxins into the pond, rendering it useless as a water source for weeks or months. High daytime temperatures

can also force the cyanobacteria blooms to the bottom of the pond, where toxins are released.
Harmful algal blooms need nutrients, sunlight, and warm, stagnant water to develop.
To help prevent blooms, UGA Extension urges pond owners to leave vegetated buffers around ponds, to limit livestock access and to avoid over-fertilizing surrounding areas. Pond owners who would like to learn more about controlling algae should read UGA Extension Bulletin 1445, "Managing Algal Blooms and the Potential for Algal Toxins in Pond Water."

Credit Card Skimmers: Secret Service works with local, state authorities to investigate

gas station in May 2018. The GDA inspector for that area was contacted by Catoosa County Police after multiple people reported their bank accounts were hacked at a single station.
"Inspection led to the discovery of a possible skimmer device, which I removed and turned over (to police)," the inspector wrote in his report. The station owner was advised to install security seals on the fuel dispensers, but even those are no guarantee that a pump is safe. Counterfeit security seals are for sale online for anyone to buy, Lloyd said.
And while a lock may look secure, the keys to unlock most fuel dispensers are universal.
"It's a one key fits all type thing," Bush said. The Secret Service works with state inspectors and local law enforcement to investigate when credit card skimmers are found. In fact, agents in the

Albany office initiated a special inspection in Lee County in late July when a skimmer was found. Two agents accompanied Inspector Tony Davis to a station on U.S. Hwy. 82 West in Leesburg, where he found two Bluetooth-enabled skimmers in two different fuel cabinets.
"The Secret Service has always been involved with assisting local law enforcement when they do receive skimmers and through your inspectors behind the scenes," Bush said. "We have a great relationship with the inspectors. They call us almost weekly, even if it's just to talk about new types of skimmers, ways of installing them and keeping us abreast of the latest ways they're perpetrating this crime. Unfortunately, gas pump skimmers are a growing type of fraud and something that we're seeing pretty routinely not just in South Georgia but throughout the Southeast and throughout Georgia."

Avoid fraud at the gas pump
Take a close look at the pump: Avoid using pumps that are open or unlocked, have had the tamper-evident security tape cut or removed, or otherwise appear unusual. Some newer pumps may also have encrypted credit card readers. Look for an illuminated green lock symbol near the credit card reader.
Use a credit card, not a debit card: If a credit card number is skimmed, you're protected by the card issuer's zero-liability policy, but a stolen debit card number could be far more damaging. If you must use a debit card, choose to use it as credit, instead of selecting debit and entering your PIN.
Pay inside, with cash or credit, instead of at the pump: It takes just seconds for criminals to place a skimmer in a gas pump, but it's far less likely that a fraudster placed a skimmer on the payment terminal in front of the clerk inside the gas station or convenience store.
Choose gas pumps closest to a physical building: Don't use gas pumps out of the attendant's line of sight, such as those around a corner or behind a building.
Check your card statements and sign up for fraud alerts: Nearly every credit card issuer offers fraud alerts, and many will email or text you when your card is used at a gas station. Check your credit card and debit card transactions frequently to make sure no fraudulent activity has occurred.

Ian Bennett of Georgia is one of 36 FFA members nationwide to be honored as New Century Farmers

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
University of Georgia student Ian Bennett knew from an early age he wanted to have a career in agriculture having grown up on his family's cattle farm. He got a glimpse of the future attending the FFA's annual New Century Farmer conference in July.
"The conference really centered around people who either want to go back home to the family farm or just go to work in production ag in general," Bennett said. "The skills and ideas that those people need, that is what (the conference) was all about. I thought it was excellent."
Each year, the National FFA selects an elite group of FFA members between the ages of 18 and 24 to participate in the New Century Farmer program. Bennett was one of 36 college-age individuals chosen this year, and the only one from Georgia, who attended the New Century Farmer conference in Indianapolis.
The program helps aspiring farmers develop personal and professional skills. They learn about new farm business opportunities, emerging technology, business alliances with other producers and more.
Bennett said he was impressed by Dr. David Kohl, a professor emeritus at Virginia Tech, who discussed market trends with the young farmers. They talked about what food will look like in 10 years and the things farmers will need to consider adjusting to consumers' taste.
"That doesn't necessarily mean lab-grown meat or things

on those lines. People want more of an experience with their food," Bennett said. "People are looking for more out of their food than they have in the past. They want their food to be more unique.
"I thought it was interesting coming from a close-knit family, and coming from the South, that there are a lot of cultural foods that people eat in the Southeast that you don't see anywhere else. I think we're going to start seeing more of a trend of those kinds of things coming back."
The conference is the latest step Bennett has taken in preparing for a career in agriculture. He worked at the family business, Bennett Farms in Sparks, since he was a young boy. His grandfather, Marshall "Buck" Bennett Sr., started the farm 60 years ago. The farm continues with his father, Dr. Marshall Bennett Jr., an Adel veterinarian.
"When I was two years old, we moved into town, I guess you could say. We lived 30 minutes from the farm, but I worked there growing up," he said. "We raise registered Charolais cattle. We sell a lot of herd bulls and replacement cattle to a lot of people."
Bennett said he was active in the FFA since high school in Lowndes County. After graduating from Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton, Bennett continued his studies at UGA. He took a year off from school last year to travel across the country when he was elected a national FFA officer.
Bennett also has a podcast, Setting Roots, that he started to chronicle his time on the road. He interviewed people he met during his time as an FFA national officer. His guests have included science researchers, farmers, CEOs and public offi-

cials. U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue is one of his podcast interviews.
"I spent over 300 days doing that on the road," Bennett said. "I got to see and do a lot of really interesting things."
Back at UGA, Bennett will finish school soon and then begin his career. He said his goal is to farm full time.

Traveling Smithsonian exhibit examines rural life Crossroads project will tour Georgia through next June

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
The Smithsonian Institution's traveling exhibition Crossroads: Change in Rural America began a six-city tour of Georgia this month to examine how rural communities have evolved over the last 100 years.
Georgia Humanities and the Smithsonian Institution are presenting the exhibition which will be in Thomaston until Oct. 4 and continues to five other cities across the state through June 2020.
Crossroads provides interactive features and displays local historical items that tell the story of how rural communities have changed since 1900. Robbie Davis, project director of Museum on Main Street, the Smithsonian's traveling exhibition service, explained the exhibit looks to open communication among visitors to talk about their experiences and to hear from others.
"We talk about change but from a much more human perspective and about how much it affected people at home and how their own families reacted to it and what does it mean," Davis said. "It's not just a scholarly look at it but also in a very human way to look at change."
There is a lot to talk about when it comes to change in rural America. Davis noted that Census records showed that since 1900, the percentage of Americans living in rural areas dropped from 60 percent to 17 percent. However, Americans still rely on rural communities for food and other resources that power the nation.
During the exhibition, visitors will be asked to fill out re-

sponses to general questions on postcards. Questions include "If you were mayor, what would you do?' and "If you had to leave this community, what are three things you would miss and why?"
Visitors place their responses in a mailbox. Local curators then review the responses and post the most interesting ones on a magnetized display wall.
"They can pull ones that they find particularly intriguing or to start a conversation. Then, visitors who come the next day can see what people from the day before said," Davis said.
Crossroads also includes several exhibits covering land,
Crossroads: Change in Rural America is a traveling exhibit that started touring Georgia earlier this month. The exhibit looks at how change has affected rural areas and its impact on people living there. The exhibit will include several interactive features like the ones pictured from a recent stop in Union, SC. (Smithsonian Institute photo)

identity, persistence and managing change. One feature is a wheel that visitors can spin to present song lyrics by musicians who have been inspired by rural living. Another feature is a replica radio that plays short stories collected by the Smithsonian from people describing a significant change in their lives. One account is from a woman who describes what it was like when her family got electricity in their home for the first time.
"Our hope is that communities can build a conversation about what it means to live there through that process," Davis said. "The idea is not just to tell people about rural America but to tell them that what they think about it is important, too, and they have a stake in where their community is going."
The Smithsonian's Museum on Main Street started the Crossroads exhibitions in 2014 with versions traveling to five states concurrently through 2024. The exhibition is also going through Idaho, Tennessee, Indiana and Michigan.
Ann McClary, director of the Public History Center at the University of West Georgia, assisted Georgia Humanities in developing Crossroads for Georgia. McClary and her students worked with local historical societies to gather items for the exhibition. Georgia EMC and the Georgia Department of Economic Development are also supporting the Crossroads exhibition with Georgia Humanities.
Other stops on the tour are McRae-Helena (Oct. 12 to Nov. 23), Monticello (Dec. 7 to Jan. 11, 2020), Cuthbert (Jan. 18 to Feb. 29), Summerville (Mar. 7 to Apr. 18) and Blue Ridge (Apr. 25 to Jun. 6).
