BLACK, COMMISSIONER WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 2019 VOL. 102, NO. 2 COPYRIGHT 2019 Georgia's Top 5 Food Safety Stories of 2018 The Georgia Department of Agriculture's Food Safety Division is tasked with licensing and inspecting retail/wholesale grocery stores and other retail food establishments, seafood facilities, dairy farms, milk processing plants, grain mills, food manufacturing plants, bottled water plants and food storage warehouses in Georgia. Currently, that includes more than 18,000 establishments, including 15,500 retail and convenience stores, 2,300 food processing facilities and warehouses, and 733 dairies. The division and its 90 employees also stand ready to respond to any disaster that threatens the integrity of the state's food supply and is recognized and respected by its peers in other states and nations for its risk-based approach to inspection that identifies potential hazards before they become problems. In addition to performing 30,573 inspections between dairy, retail and manufactured food in fiscal year 2018, the division also reported the following actions during the calendar year: 1. Georgia sustains a Category 3 hurricane. Hurricane Michael's track took a staggering toll on agriculture, which is a $73.3 billion industry in Georgia, making it the No. 1 contributor to the state's economy. Damage estimates as of late October 2018 exceeded $2 billion in direct commodity loss. Cotton loss was placed at $550 million; vegetables, $480 million; pecans, $560 million; poultry, $25 10 0 t1h9A17nniv2e0r1s7ary million; peanuts, $20 million; timber, $374 million; and the landscape and green industry, $13 million. From a food safety standpoint, hurricanes often result in power loss, structural damage and flooding, and destruction of food prod- ucts impacted by the storm. In response to Hurricane Michael, the GDA Food Safety Division broadly leveraged new Geographic Information System technology for the first time to conduct emergency assessments of food facilities across the state.

I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state promoting our No. 1 industry, agriculture! I'm always meeting new folks and hearing new stories that reinforce my belief that our farmers and their families are the best in the country. One day I was traveling through Washington County on Ga. Hwy. 272 when I saw a sign that read, "Pig Monument." I had to stop! There, in front of a dry shallow well, was a granite memorial with the picture of a pig on it. According to the monument, a farmer named Bartow Barron lost track of his prize winning Duroc hog for two solid weeks back in 1933, during some of the worst days of the Great Depression. He finally found the pig staring up at him from the bottom of the dry well, which was 40 feet deep at the time. Mr. Barron came up with the idea to slowly fill the well with dirt, so the hog could climb up little by little and jump out. For 12 days, he tried to fill the well by himself. When he was about ready to give up, his neighbors pitched in to help and they rescued that animal together. The monument celebrates "the spirit of friendship and community so characteristic of those times." Auxin Training Requirements: Georgia 2019 NOTICE: U.S. EPA-Industry mandated label changes to dicamba products Engenia, FeXapan, and XtendiMax are now effective for the 2019 growing season. Engenia, FeXapan, XtendiMax 1. As mandated by federal labels, one must hold a private or commercial pesticide applicator license to purchase and use these restricted use herbicides. Use is limited to ONLY those persons holding a private or commercial applicator certification.* It is no longer permissible for non-certified applicators to apply these products under the direct supervision of the certified applicator. 2. Prior to applying these products in 2019, ALL applicators must be trained according to the federal labels. In Georgia, applicators must complete the 2019 Using Pesticides Wisely classroom training. If you attended this training in 2015, 2016, 2017, or 2018, you must re-take the training in 2019. 3. Industry applicator trainings are encouraged and beneficial; however, they will not fulfill Georgia's requirement for auxin training. 4. Each label requires certified applicators to document application information. Forms have been designed to help with this challenge and can be found at your local UGA Extension office, from the herbicide registrant, or at http://agr.georgia.gov/24c.aspx Enlist Duo or Enlist One 1. All persons in charge of in-crop applications (planting through harvest) of Enlist Duo or Enlist One in Enlist cotton or soybean must complete the Using Pesticides Wisely classroom training. If you attended this training in 2015, 2016, 2017 or 2018, you must re-take the training in 2019. *For those seeking certification as a private pesticide applicator: Initial certification to become a certified private pesticide applicator requires the completion of an interactive, online Private Applicator training program administered by University of Georgia Extension (http://extension.uga.edu/programs-services/pesticide-safety-education/ private-applicators.html). The online training and testing requires a total time commitment of approximately 4-5 hours and a $25 fee. Applicants MUST be able to read and understand a label. Application of auxin herbicides carries certain inherent risks associated with off-target movement. Anyone applying them should be well-trained, have a clear understanding of the potential for off-site damage, and be able to make complex decisions on when and where these products should be applied. Applicants and their employers should carefully consider who is capable of applying these products safely before beginning the certification process.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 2019 FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN 404-656-3722 agr.georgia.gov PAGE 7 Mercer Medical Moment: On lead and the health of your children By Brad Lian, Associate Professor, Department of Community Medicine, School of Medicine, Mercer University and Adam Kiefer, Professor, Distinguished Professor, Department of Chemistry, College of Liberal Arts, Mercer University We've all been told, or at least realize by now, that lead is hazardous to our health. The evidence is clear on this. And it's especially harmful to infants and children. Even very low levels of lead exposure during the first five years of life have been linked to neurological and nervous system damage, lower IQs, seizures, behavioral problems, ADHD and damage to developing internal organs such as the kidney. These problems or issues are often related to future learning, behavior and health problems that last lifetimes (higher risk of dropping out of school, higher levels of delinquency, lower paying jobs, medications, etc.) and affect not only the health and well-being of the individuals directly affected, but the broader society. This is why over the past 40 years laws and regulations have been implemented aimed at limiting lead exposure. Paint and gasoline, for instance, no longer contain lead, and there are much more stringent standards regarding the amount of lead allowable in consumer products, plumbing products, and food and liquid containers. The good news is that these efforts have paid off. The percentage of children five years old or younger with excessive blood lead levels (defined as levels greater than 10 micrograms per deciliter of blood back in the 1970s but now defined as greater than five micrograms per deciliter) has gone from nearly 90 percent in the 1970s to less than 10 percent today, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Clearly, we can reduce or eliminate lead problems once we recognize it is an issue. The bad news is that about 10 percent of all children in the U.S. may still have excessive blood lead levels. But what about your kids? Are they part of that 10 percent? To find out, you can begin by answering the following seven simple questions developed by the Georgia Department of Public Health's Healthy Homes and Lead Poisoning Prevention Program: 1. Does your child live in or often visit a house that may have been built before 1978? 2. Does your child live in or often visit a house built before 1978 that is being remodeled or is having paint removed? 3. Does your child live with or often visit another child that had or has an elevated blood lead level? 4. Does your child live with anyone that works at a job where lead may be found or has a hobby that uses lead? 5. Does your child chew on or eat non-food items like paint chips or dirt? 6. Does your child live near an active lead smelter, battery recycling plant or other industry likely to release lead? 7. Does your child receive medicines such as greta, azarcon, kohl or payloo-ah? If you have one or more "yes" or "I don't know" answers out of these seven questions, the health department recommends that you get your child's blood tested immediately. Medicaid and most private health insurance cover these tests, so contact your doctor or local health department right away. Again, we can do something about limiting the impact lead can have on our health and the health of our children, who are the most vulnerable. And it's easy. But it all starts with talking and asking a few questions. UGA names new area onion agent at Vidalia Onion and Vegetable Research Center By Clint Thompson Chris Tyson, a University of Georgia Cooperative Extension agent for more than 10 years, has been named the new area onion agent at the Vidalia Onion and Vegetable Research Center in Southeast Georgia. The Vidalia Onion and Vegetable Research Center, located between Reidsville and Lyons in Toombs County, is home to specialized onion research conducted by researchers in the UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. Tyson has worked in onion research alongside past area agents Reid Torrance and Cliff Riner while serving as a UGA Extension agriculture and natural resources agent in nearby Tattnall County. Tyson will continue the onion research being conducted at the Vidalia Onion and Vegetable Research Center, working with industry leaders to evaluate new varieties being released and sharing updates with growers. "A lot of that foundation in research has already been laid for me. One of my biggest responsibilities will be managing the official Vidalia onion variety trial, which evaluates onion varieties each year for yield and grade and flavor. We're responsible for making a recommendation on which onions should be called Vidalia onions and which ones don't make the cut," Tyson said. "It's very exciting to be able to have this opportunity. I don't take it lightly because it's a critical position in Georgia. I look forward to trying to help the growers and work with the growers and the industry to continue to move forward and make sure we have sweet onions in Georgia." Tyson also will collaborate with CAES scientists, including UGA Extension weed scientist Stanley Culpepper on herbicide research and UGA vegetable specialists Tim Coolong and Andre da Silva on fertility issues. "Andre and I and some of the other county agents hope to do a research trial this year where we look at nitrogen management on some newer onion varieties," he said. "We think we can reduce nitrogen use on some of the newer varieties and still make good onions. If we Chris Tyson UGA photo can reduce it to some degree, that's good for everybody involved." Georgia onion producers started the planting season in early November, but due to heavy rains this fall, some growers are behind, according to Tyson. The extremely wet conditions have kept farmers out of the field, and planting could be stretched into January this season, he said. Onions account for 13 percent of Georgia's vegetable crop. In 2017, the farm gate value for onions was $140.6 million, according to the UGA Center for Agribusiness and Economic Development. The Southeast Georgia counties of Tattnall and Toombs have the largest share of Georgia's farm gate value for onions, with $50.8 million and $46.8 million, respectively.

Radon occurs naturally in Georgia's granite bedrock and can leach into homes without warning. This presents a hidden danger, as radon exposure is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S., according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Radon Educator Derek Cooper is working to shine a light on this invisible hazard with the university's Georgia Radon Program. January -- National Radon Action Month -- is a great time for Georgians to take steps to protect their families against the threat. "Families have a lot to think about, and I know radon isn't always at the top of the list," Cooper said. "The beginning of the year is a good time to take a moment to make sure your family's home is safe. Testing for radon can save a life, and it's quick and easy." UGA Extension offers a low-cost service for those who need to test their home for radon and can provide resources for those who find high levels of the gas in their home. There are ways of removing radon from a home, but homeowners won't know to take action unless they test, Cooper said. higher amounts of granite bedrock in that region. About 46.6 percent of homes tested in Haralson County had elevated radon levels -- the highest rates in the state. In addition to Haralson, Barrow, Butts, Douglas, Fannin, Gilmer, Hall, Jackson, Lumpkin, Union and Walton counties are the counties with the highest percentage of elevated radon levels in the state, according to tests conducted through UGA Extension. To learn more about household radon and to order a $13 radon test visit www.fcs.uga.edu/extension/ home-radon or contact a local UGA Extension Office at 1-800-Ask-UGA1. During January, Georgians can get a discount of $3 off the $13 price of a test kit when they enter the code NRAM2019. -Merritt Melancon is a news editor with the Univer- sity of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmen- tal Sciences. What is radon and where does it come from? Radon gas is essentially broken-down uranium that is present in Georgia's granite bedrock. It can seep into homes through their foundations or through well water. It is odorless, tasteless, colorless and virtually undetectable without a test. The gas can collect in homes during the winter months when weatherproofing seals air indoors, but it's a threat year-round. Homes of all ages and sizes are vulnerable to radon, but risk varies depending on the area of the state. Homes in the northern half of the state, for instance, are at greater risk of having elevated radon levels due to The second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, radon is an odorless, invisible, tasteless radioactive gas released by the natural decay of uranium in soils and rocks. University of Georgia Cooperative Extension offers a low-cost service for those who need to test their home for radon.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 2019 FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN 404-656-3722 agr.georgia.gov PAGE 11 Partial shutdown of federal government forces USDA to curtail services WASHINGTON, D.C. The lapse in federal funding for Fiscal Year 2019 is affecting certain services and programs of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Certain USDA activities remain active because they are related to law enforcement, the protection of life and property, or are financed through available funding (such as through mandatory appropriations, multi-year discretionary funding, or user fees). During the first week of the shutdown, 62 percent of USDA employees were either exempted or excepted from shutdown activities. That percentage will decrease as the shutdown continues, and activities will be reduced as available funding decreases. USDA activities continuing beyond Jan. 1, 2019 include: Meat, poultry, and processed egg inspection services. Grain and other commodity inspection, weighing, grading, and IT support services funded by user fees. Inspections for import and export activities to prevent the introduction and dissemination of pests into and out of the U.S., including inspections from Hawaii and Puerto Rico to the mainland. Forest Service law enforcement, emergency and natural disaster response, and national defense preparedness efforts. Continuity and maintenance of some research measurements and research-related infrastructure, such as germplasm, seed storage, and greenhouses. Care for animals, plants, and associated infrastructure to preserve agricultural research and to comply with the Wild Horses and Burros statute. Eligible households will still receive monthly Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits through February. Most other domestic nutrition assistance programs, such as the Commodity Supplemental Food Program, WIC, and the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations, can continue to operate at the state and local level with any funding and commodity resources that remain available. Additional federal funds will not be provided during the period of the lapse; however, deliveries of already-purchased commodities will continue. The Child Nutrition Programs, including School Lunch, School Breakfast, Child and Adult Care Feeding, Summer Food Service and Special Milk will continue operations into February. Meal providers are paid on a reimbursement basis 30 days after the end of the service month. Minimal administrative and management support, including to excepted IT systems and contracts, will be maintained to support the above activities. Natural Resources Conservation Service offices will remain open to support conservation technical and financial assistance (such as Environmental Quality Incentives Program and easement programs). Market Facilitation Program payments for producers that have already certified production with the Farm Service Agency. Trade mitigation purchases made by USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service. Agricultural export credit and other agricultural trade development and monitoring activities. USDA's Market News Service, which provides market information to the agricultural industry. USDA activities which will not continue during the shutdown include: USDA Farm Service Agency county offices closed at the end of business on Dec. 28, 2018. Provision of new rural development loans and grants for housing, community facilities, utilities and businesses. Recreation sites across the U.S. National Forest System, unless they are operated by external parties under a recreational special use permit, will be closed. While technically closed, many will still be physically accessible to visitors at their own risk, but without staffing at ranger stations and without access to facilities such as public restrooms. New timber sales. Most forest fuels reduction activities in and around communities. NASS statistics, World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report, and other agricultural economic and statistical reports and projections. Assistance for the control of some plant and animal pests and diseases unless funded by cooperators or other non-appropriated sources.

Top 5 Stories: GDA wins award Continued From Page 1 The GDA welcomed Superintending Veterinary Inspector Ann Scanlon and Dairy Controls and Export Certifier Damien O'Meara from AFM in the exchange. The two have extensive background knowledge of Ireland's meat industry and spent a week helping to broaden and share best practices with the GDA. Their visit to Georgia included meeting state and federal officials at the GDA in Atlanta, touring laboratories, shellfish facilities, dairy farms and milking plants, and a sheep processing facility. The importance of an integrated food safety system means taking an international approach to enhancing food safety for consumers on every continent. With the conclusion of the exchange program, the GDA and AFM plan to continue building and maintaining interagency collaboration. The two organizations hope to generate national and international awareness by sharing the successes and cooperative learning experiences gleaned from the program. 3. Georgia investigates E. coli contamination of romaine lettuce. In three outbreaks in 2018, romaine lettuce was named as the source of nearly 300 infections that sent 128 people to the hospital with six deaths. Both U.S. and Canadian food safety experts named romaine as the culprit, with romaine products pulled from retail shelves as recently as the day before Thanksgiving but no official recalls were ever issued. The first outbreak was declared "over" in the U.S. in late January 2018. Leafy greens were not officially identified as the problem here in the U.S. (but were in Canada). The second outbreak came in the spring of 2018 with a warning to the public from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and U.S. Food & Drug Administration to avoid romaine from the Yuma, Ariz., growing region. In April, here in Georgia, illness cases from a restaurant chain were reported to the Cobb Douglas Health Department. Those customers reported eating romaine and were ultimately linked to the outbreak. Information gathered from the restaurant was utilized by the GDA to traceback to a distributor, which confirmed a connection to the Yuma growing region. Information from Georgia was shared with the CDC and FDA. In total, Georgia had seven cases included in the multi-state outbreak. Two of those Georgia patients developed hemolytic uremic syndrome, which is a serious complication of contracting an E. coli O157:H7 infection. Federal investigations into the two later outbreaks found the outbreak strain of E. coli in canal water in the Yuma growing region and in the sediment of an irrigation reservoir. 4. Georgia investigates Salmonella in kratom. After a 41-state outbreak of Salmonella infections were linked to kratom products last year, FDA issued a report stating, "Kratom is not legally marketed in the U.S. as a drug or dietary supplement. Kratom is an opioid, is addictive and has been linked to severe health consequences and deaths among users." Here in Georgia, we had three confirmed cases of Salmonella illnesses linked to the multi-state outbreak. The Georgia Department of Public Health led the investigation, with one on-site visit to a smoke shop selling kratom products. In the overall public health investigation, 74 percent of the 103 people interviewed said they consumed kratom via pills, powder or made into a tea. Products were purchased in retail stores and online. By the end of the outbreak, 199 people in 41 states were reported with Salmonellarelated illnesses, including at least 50 hospitalizations, all tied to various kratom products. The FDA closed its investigation in July, concluding "anyone consuming kratom may be placing themselves at a significant risk of being exposed to Salmonella." Kratom has no proven medical uses, and the public is strongly advised not to consume any kratomcontaining products. 5. Georgia receives the 2018 Elliot O. Grosvenor Food Safety Award. The Elliot O. Grosvenor Food Safety Award was created to recognize leaders who best showcase improvement, innovation or sustained high performance within a food safety program. A food safety program could include responsibility for: food safety, food protection and food defense or food sanitation. Each year, the Association of Food and Drug Officials seeks nominations from throughout the food safety community and convenes an independent panel of food safety experts from academia, industry and the regulatory community to select the winners. Nominations are evaluated based on proven achievements that further food safety breakthroughs, systems improvements, education and training, and community outreach. The GDA was found to "exemplify the spirit of advancing a nationally integrated food safety system" by maintaining conformance with the Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards and providing the FDA the foundation to improve the quality of contracts, coordination of inspections, investigations and enforcement to effectively and efficiently protect public health. "By using the standards as a road-map, the GDA has made tremendous strides in building a high quality regulatory program that is organized, focused and accountable. GDA continues to build capacity and maintain the foundational core necessary to sustain a robust integrated system by relying on mutual reliance tactics that protect public health," the association said in a press release in June. As part of an international exchange, inspectors from Ireland's Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine visited the GDA to learn about food safety practices.

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue on Jan. 8 extended the deadline for agricultural producers to apply for payments under the Market Facilitation Program as provided by the trade mitigation program administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The original deadline was Jan. 15, 2019, but farmers have been unable to apply for the program since the lapse in federal funding caused the closure of USDA Farm Service Agency offices at the end of business on Dec. 28, 2018. Secretary Perdue issued the following statement: "President Trump instructed me, as Secretary of Agriculture, to craft a program that would protect farmers from unjustified retaliatory tariffs from foreign nations. As part of that package, the Market Facilitation Program has been making payments directly to farmers who have suffered trade damage. Using existing funds, we were able to keep FSA offices open as long as possible, but unfortunately had to close them when funding ran out. "We will therefore extend the application deadline for a period of time equal to the number of business days FSA offices were closed, once the government shutdown ends. Farmers who have already applied for the program and certified their 2018 production have continued to receive payments. Meanwhile, I continue to urge members of Congress to redouble their efforts to pass an appropriations bill that President Trump will sign and end the lapse in funding so that we may again provide full services to our farmers and ranchers."

Farmers Under 40: Cason Anderson Farm: CCA Pecan Hometown: Kathleen Age: 25 By Kendall McWilliams Q: How did you get your start in farming? A: I was always interested in tractors and heavy equipment as a child but being able to grow up on 50 acres allowed me to experiment and find out how much I loved working outdoors with dirt. Being a part of FFA and ag class as a student confirmed my interest also. Q: What kind of farming do you primarily spend your time doing? A: Growing pecans throughout Middle Georgia generates 100 percent of my income. After two hurricanes and a trade war that impacted pecans, I have strongly thought about diversifying with a seasonal farm market or second crop to grow and sell. Q: How do you think being a young farmer affects you and your business? A: Being a young farmer is fun but definitely a challenge. So many goals can be easily accomplished within the first five years. I remember when all I wanted when I started was an irrigated farm or a 100 horsepower cab tractor. Q: What advantages and challenges come with being a first-generation farmer? A: It's hard to say if advantages outweigh disadvantages when you're a young farmer. Pros of being young is that we can see some of our land improvements pay off long term. I am young enough to benefit directly from planting pecan trees, but not old enough in the business to have the cash to do it large scale. Putting 20 percent down on a piece of land by yourself is very hard. The biggest challenge when first starting is access to good land to rent or purchase. Eventually, as a young farmer, your business will expand. It's tough to take 300 acres of revenue one year and finance 500 acres of expenses the following. Q: What is the best piece of advice someone has given you? A: "Don't wish your life away" - my dad. When I first started farming I'd say, "I wish I had this certain piece of equipment," or "I wish I farmed here and there." The early years went by so fast, now I just sit back and try to truly enjoy what's going on with what we have. Q: Who is your biggest role model in farming? A: I have many role models in the middle Georgia farming community. Dennis James, Frank Bledsoe, Mike Jaros, Jim Parks, Trent Mason and Tom Cleveland have all inspired me somehow in my career. Q: What are your hobbies and interests outside of farming? A: When I'm not farming, I like to eat somewhere good and listen to live music. Floating the Ocmulgee River during the summer is always fun. Q: What do you think is the most important thing that a young farmer should know? A: A young farmer should learn everything they possibly can about what they grow. Show the others you are just as capable at growing a good crop as someone older. Keep a good banker, mechanic, dealership, employee, landlord and farm friend close by and good things will happen.
