BLACK, COMMISSIONER WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2019 VOL. 102, NO. 21 COPYRIGHT 2019 Come see us at the Georgia National Fair! Georgia Grown Marketing Representative Lee Lancaster constructs a storefront in the Georgia Grown Building in Perry. To be a farmer is to be a Jack of all trades 10 0 t1h9A17nniv2e0r1s7ary (and, with no disrespect to whoever said it first, master of all). Nowhere is that more obvious than in the Georgia Grown Building at the Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter in Perry in the weeks leading up to the Georgia National Fair. Personnel from various divisions of the Georgia Department of Agriculture meet there in early September to begin the process of building the Georgia Grown Baby Barn and the Georgia Grown Experience. From nurturing expectant sows whose piglets will make their debuts alongside dairy calves born in the center ring of the Baby Barn to building the facades and assembling the displays that will educate and inform hundreds of thousands of fairgoers, the GDA does double-duty on behalf of Georgia agriculture. See the finished product at the 30th Annual Georgia National Fair Oct. 3-13! The Baby Barn, Georgia Grown Store and Georgia Grown Experience take shape, while an expectant sow stays hydrated in the maternity ward nearby.

"We have everybody with zero experience to some who are very experienced and just need help," she said.

The ring gauges determine the minimum circumference of the citrus for labeling used in packaging and juicing the fruit. (Jay Jones/GDA) so it's not very feasible," she said.

I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our No. 1 industry, agriculture. As you know, Georgia's #1 crop is cotton. Georgia is also the second largest cotton-producing state in the country. Over the past few years, most farmers have replaced their cotton pickers, boll buggies and module builders with cotton balers. These giant machines not only harvest six rows at a time, they also roll the fiber into 5000-pound bales. Most of these machines then wrap the 8-foot-wide by 8-foot-long bales with yellow plastic wrap. But last year as I drove through Warwick in Worth County, I saw something really special: pink cotton bales! I had to investigate! I found out that back in 2013, a young cotton farmer from Missouri named Jason Chandler wanted to raise awareness for breast cancer by replacing his yellow wrap with pink. He wanted to honor his sister, who died of the disease when she was only 33 years old. Nowadays, cotton farmers can order either yellow or pink from their equipment dealer. The pink bales are especially popular in October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I think I've got a new favorite color John Deere Pink!

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2019 FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN 404-656-3722 agr.georgia.gov PAGE 9 My Tractor Story: Well, sorta By Roy Demonbreun Clarkston This will not be a typi- cal "tractor," nor probably a unique story. We moved to the "country" when I was four and had undergrowth to clear along with three acres of yard and field to keep down. In 1971 or '72 my dad bought a new Gravely "walk behind" one-cylinder small tractor. It had an incredible number of implements that could be attached to it. We mostly used the mower, tiller, harrow, grading plow, an attachable "sulky" (to cut out some of the walking), and a sickle cutter/mower. Gravely made many other attachments we did not need on our place. My dad (and I) used it for 20 years. When my dad passed from a sudden heart attack, my mom could not use it, so it sat in the dirt under her porch for another 20-plus years. My wife and I bought a place five years ago with an incredible amount of under- growth, vines and small saplings that needed clearing. I thought of the Gravely. My mom needed some work done on her home and wanted to pay me to do it. I responded that I would do the work for free in exchange for the Gravely. Her response? "You'll never get that thing to run. It hasn't been used in decades!" Reluctantly, thinking my barter was a "fool's errand," she agreed. The Gravely had sunk into the dirt tires dry rotted, gas tank full of rust. After getting my mom's work done, I drug it out from under her front porch and onto my truck with a winch and ramps and headed home. I had promised my wife that in one month it would be working or gone. So, I got to work some nights and weekends. I started with the obvious: drained the gas tank and treated it for rust, rebuilt the carburetor (after finding a rebuild kit), changed out the fuel filter and lines, installed a new spark plug. It's a pull start with a rope that has to be wound around a pulley each time you try to start it. The first few times I tried, nothing happened. A few carburetor and timing ad- justments and it sputtered to life running poorly but running! More adjustments and it started running strong. Smoke billowed for some time from an engine that had not turned in 20 years. Knowing it ran, it was time to make it work-worthy; tires, clean-up, sharpening the blade. I use it every week now. It only takes one or two pulls to start it. I've cleared about an acre of undergrowth with the "Grizzly Gravely" (our affectionate nickname). Probably not the type story you were looking for, or the type of tractor; but it is true and mine. Every time I start the Gravely, I remember Saturday evenings after a day of cutting, the exhaust glowing in the near dark, walking back to the house with my dad tired, dirty, sweaty, looking over a beautifully cut lawn, field or garden. I probably should have named it Lazarus. Too late now. I think it's partial to its name. 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. Cook Georgia Grown: Grits Breakfast Pie Grits Pie Crust Ingredients: 7 cups water 2 tsps salt tsp black pepper 2 Tbsps butter 1 cups stone ground grits Directions: In a medium saucepan, bring water, salt, pepper and butter to a boil. Whisk in grits, bring back to a boil then lower to a simmer and cook 45-60 minutes, stirring periodically. Grits should be thick and tender when tasted. You may need to add more water while cooking depending on the grits you are using. The consistency should be very thick. Let cool. Line a deep-dish pie plate with foil. Scoop cooled grits into pie plate, pressing up sides to form a crust. As grits begin setting, you can press into shape forming a thick pie like crust. Refrigerate until completely chilled and firm, several hours or overnight. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Filling Ingredients: 1 cup cooked sausage, bacon or ham 2 cups grated cheese 6 eggs cup half & half Salt & pepper Directions: Distribute meat and cheese over prepared grits crust. Whisk eggs and half & half in a separate bowl. Season egg mixture with salt & pepper. Pour mixture over meat and cheese. Bake about one hour or until eggs are set. Let rest about 10-15 minutes. Cut in wedges and serve. Serves 8.

Georgia Farm Bureau funds research into production issues affecting farmers MACON Georgia Farm Bureau awarded $94,000 in research grants to seven Georgia scientists and their research teams who are addressing production issues impacting Georgia farmers. GFB President Gerald Long announced the recipients of the organization's Harvest 20 Research Grants Aug. 8 during the 2019 GFB Commodity Conference held at the UGA Tifton Campus Conference Center. "Supporting agricultural research that addresses production problems Georgia farmers are facing on their farms is one of the many ways Georgia Farm Bureau is support- ing Georgia agriculture and our farmers," Long said. A review committee selected the following research projects from 32 proposals to receive GFB grants: Can Common Nutritional Strategies Have a Negative Impact on Beef Production? principal investigator Dr. Lawton Stewart; The Etiology & Epidemiology of Cotton Blue Disease in Georgia, principal investigator Dr. Sudeep Bag; Surveying & Monitoring Wood-Boring Ambrosia Beetles in Tree Nurseries, Tree Fruit & Pecan Orchards, principal investiga- tor Dr. Angelita Acebes; Assessing Potential Impacts of a new strain of the bacterium Xylella Fastidiosa on Blueberry Bushes, principal investigator Jonathan Oliver; Antimicrobial Waxes for Produce Application, principal investigator Dr. Govindaraj Dev Kumar; Evaluating Snap Bean Cultivars & Germplasms for Resistance/Tolerance, against Cucurbit Leaf Crumple Virus, principal investigator Dr. Bhabesh Dutta; Evaluation of the Effect of Foliar Fertilizer in the Early Soybean Production System, principal investigator Dr. Mark Freeman. The grant recipients have been invited to present their research results in a poster session at the 2019 GFB Annual Convention in December. "I'm looking forward to seeing the research findings presented at our annual convention in December," Long said. This is the second year Georgia Farm Bureau has awarded grants to Georgia researchers who are tackling production issues. Last year GFB awarded almost $42,000 in research grants to five Georgia scientists and their research teams working to help beef, poultry, vegetable and row crop farmers. PAGE 14 FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN 404-656-3722 agr.georgia.gov WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2019 New apps connect growers with consumers seeking fresh, local food By Amy Carter amy.carter@agr.georgia.gov Technology brings the world to our doorsteps often the same day we order it. Combined with a food distribution system that thrives on volume and a transportation network designed for distance, it's also made it easier to buy a tomato from another country than one grown in the next county. Two Georgia entrepreneurs are leveraging the very technology that made global seem local to reunite neighbors and make homegrown more accessible again. Ken Parris and Chris Damico have developed two separate virtual marketplaces that unite growers with consumers and businesses seeking homegrown food that's affordable and easily accessible. Parris, who grew up in Marietta when it was still bucolic, designed his app "eieio" with the notion of reuniting neighbors. He recalled his childhood, when so many people had backyard gardens and swapped and traded with one another to share the bounty of overabundance. The lost art of farming on a small scale, the convenience of grocery stores and the pace of modern life have disrupted that kind of connectivity. "I live in Athens. We have a great organic grocery store. Often, I go in the middle of our tomato season and the tomatoes are from Florida or from California or from Chile," Parris said. Many communities have occasional farmers markets, but limited hours keep many consumers from visiting. "I never seem to get to the farmers markets," Parris said. "If I do get there, I'm often too late and the best vegetables are gone." eieio creates a seven-day-a-week farmers market so people in the same community can buy locally grown vegetables, he said. Growers can snap photos of fruits and vegetables on the vine and harvest when the demand arises, preventing waste. Leftovers after a day at the farmers market can also be photographed and posted on the app for sale. Consumers can set up their profiles within the app to find produce, protein and value-added farm products in proximity of their geographical location. They can place their order and pay through the app, which deposits the money directly into the seller's bank account. The app then puts buyer in touch with seller to coordinate delivery or pick-up. Damico, a former restaurateur who grew frustrated with the middle men separating his patrons from farm-fresh food, developed "Farm'd" to link growers with chefs seeking a true farm-to-table experience at an affordable price. "It's not farm-to-table if it's coming from a warehouse," Damico said. He cited a common statistic that says most food products travel more than 1,000 miles from farm to consumer, "yet we have all this abundance of local food around us. It's because the logistics infrastructure for last-mile food doesn't exist. The system's set up for volume. It's not set up for small, local food." His solution is a virtual marketplace that facilitates a direct connection between seller and buyer. Farm'd handles the logistics of delivery by contracting with refrigerated truck drivers, most driving Sprinter vans or smaller vehicles. "Creating a logistics system around picking up at farms and delivering right to the end-user was kind of a, `Why aren't we already doing this?' moment," Damico said. eieio and Farm'd both rely on robust regional networks of sellers and buyers. The developers of both apps are hoping to attract more Georgia growers to sign on and try out the apps. And both are members of Georgia Grown, the marketing and economic development arm of the Georgia Department of Agriculture. Currently, eieio is only available on the Apple platform, downloadable to iPhone and iPad from The App Store. Parris said a desktop version will be available soon. Visit the Apple Store to learn more about the app. Farm'd is available on desktop, and as an app for IOS and Android. Visit farmd.com for more information.

While some of its farmers grow Certified Organic crops exclusively, organic production is a small percentage of overall operations for others. Shingler and the founding GOPA members credit recent research done to create more productive agronomic systems and marketing opportunities for Georgia peanuts. Without the research, they said the move to forming an association for organic peanuts would not have been possible. University of Georgia plant pathologist Dr. Albert Culbreath and Dr. Carroll Johnson, a weed scientist with USDA Agricultural Research Service (retired), performed research that expanded the possibilities for organic peanuts by helping to develop better seed genetics and technical methods to control weeds. Perri Campis, a member of the Farmer Services program at Georgia Organics, an Atlanta-based nonprofit, also worked on developing a local market for organic peanuts since 2013. Campis said she received calls at Georgia Organics every week from peanut roasters nationwide looking to source organic peanuts from Georgia. Even though Georgia annually led the nation in peanut production, Campis said there were only a couple farmers in the state growing peanuts organically at the time. Almost all the organic peanut production in the U.S. was in west Texas and eastern New Mexico. "It wasn't just that they wanted organic peanuts. They specifically asked for organic peanuts from Georgia," she said. "There's so much inherent value in the Georgia name, and consumers want to know where their food comes from. I hated having to tell them to look to Texas." "All of us had been involved in organics before, and some had been growing organic peanuts for more than a decade," Shingler said. "We knew that organic farming could work in body. For farmers in Georgia, Campis said the biggest challenge to growing organically is weed control. But timely cultivation and the vigorousness of recent cultivars developed by UGA and other land grant institutions in the Southeast have made organic peanuts a promising crop. "There's a misconception that organic farming is going back in time," Campis said. "We believe it's important to keep alive the agricultural knowledge and practices that were in use before herbicides became such an important tool, but organic farming is all about using the latest genetics, technological precision and advanced data. With the growing customer demand for organic food, it's as modern as you can get."

Score: Successful tour may mean more such events in the future Continued From Page 1 buying some land and getting a few cows, and this is what has grown into," "It was never a life-long dream to be a rancher. It was just the way the Lord has taken us." Now, the couple has 145 acres and is working with USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service and Farm Service Agency to grow their operation. Minks said his interest is in developing a market for certified organic beef in Georgia. He said higher costs and the certification process would discourage large cattle producers from raising organic beef, but there are plenty of opportunities to help others. "According to demographics, it takes about a million cows a year to feed Georgia, so there's plenty of market here for everybody. But it's the smaller producers, the beginning farmers with 50 acres or less, who tend to be underserved," Minks said. "If there was an avenue for them to start producing organic cattle, and a place to sell organic cattle at a premium, then we might get more organic cattle producers here in the state of Georgia." Zeanah called the Farm Tour a success and hoped to organize more tours. She said the tour was a great example of what SCORE does in connecting those with knowledge with those looking for knowledge. "Some are beginning farmers, and some have been farming for a long time, and they just want to venture out into something new," she said. "They want to know what else is out there."

By Stasia Kelly Georgia Forestry Commission Though burning leaf piles and campfires are hallmarks of fall, Georgia's current drought is impacting decisions to burn outdoors. The Georgia Forestry Commission is urging everyone to follow established procedures and exercise extreme caution when using fire outside. "There's a five-step fire danger system used nationally, and right now Georgia is in the four and five categories, indicating very high fire danger," said Georgia Forestry Commission Chief of Protection Frank Sorrells. "The decision to burn must be made on specific weather criteria in each location, and because safety is always our top concern, burn permitting may be restricted based on the fire danger forecast." Burn permits issued by the Georgia Forestry Commission are required for any outdoor burning in the state to help prevent wildfires and problems generated by smoke. In 54 counties, primarily in North Georgia, the Georgia Environmental Protection Division sets annual summer burning restrictions to reduce emissions from ground level ozone that may jeopardize air quality. Those restrictions were lifted Oct. 1. "The GFC will resume issuing burn permits on a day-to-day basis, following our established fire danger and smoke management procedures, in those counties which have been under the EPD Burn Ban since May first," said Sorrells. "We recognize the importance of and promote prescribed burning for the many wildfire prevention, forest management and agriculture benefits it provides. However, right now we're asking everyone to be extremely vigilant when doing any open burning, including burning yard debris." Wildfire activity is on the rise statewide, according to Sorrells. Over the past three months, Georgia Forestry Commission wildland firefighters have responded to 41 percent more fires than its previous five-year average. Sorrells said escaped debris burns are the number one cause of wildfires in our state, and it may be necessary and wise to delay or postpone open burning if local conditions are unfavorable. The GFC recommends those who burn keep tools on hand such as water, a shovel and a cell phone. "Never hesitate to call 911, and never leave your fire unattended" Sorrells said. For specific information about conducting open burning, permitting requirements and current fire conditions in your area, contact your county's GFC office or visit GaTrees.org. The Georgia Environmental Protection Division lifted the summer burn ban for these 54 counties Oct. 1: Banks, Barrow, Bartow, Bibb, Butts, Carroll, Catoosa, Chattooga, Cherokee, Clarke, Clayton, Cobb, Columbia, Coweta, Crawford, Dawson, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Floyd, Forsyth, Fulton, Gordon, Gwinnett, Hall, Haralson, Heard, Henry, Houston, Jackson, Jasper, Jones, Lamar, Lumpkin, Madison, Meriwether, Monroe, Morgan, Newton, Oconee, Paulding, Peach, Pickens, Pike, Polk, Putnam, Richmond, Rockdale, Spalding, Troup, Twiggs, Upson, Walker and Walton. At Work with the GDA Meat inspectors in the Animal Industry Division ensure safe food supply By Jay Jones jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov To be a meat inspector with the Georgia Department of Agriculture means playing a vital role in ensuring the public receives wholesome, safe and truthfully labeled meat and meat and poultry products every day. Inspectors work out of the GDA's Animal Industry Division which licenses more than 160 slaughter and processing facilities in Georgia. Inspectors are assigned to two or three facilities on a circuit that covers animal slaughtering and meat processing. The work is not glamorous but necessary, according to Adam Buuck, Animal Industry Division director. "Every meat eater in Georgia benefits from a thorough meat inspection program," Buuck said. "Folks who work here are motivated in the purpose of making sure our meat supply is safe to consume." Georgia began its meat inspection program 50 years ago and was among the first state programs in the nation, along with South Carolina and Texas. Meat inspections in the United States began on the federal level following the 1905 publication of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, which highlighted poor working conditions in a Chicago meatpacking house.

PAGE 16 FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN 404-656-3722 agr.georgia.gov WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2019 Georgia Agriculture Museum blends the past with the future `Destination Ag' introduces elementary students to modern farming By Amy Carter amy.carter@agr.georgia.gov TIFTON Lessons in rural living once handed down from generation to generation are the same lessons taught today at the Georgia Museum of Agriculture and Historic Village, long known as the Agrirama. For 41 years, the museum complex has offered visitors a look life in the 19th century, before the advent of many modern conveniences common today. More than 35 restored or preserved buildings on the grounds including a schoolhouse, drug store, cotton gin, Masonic Hall and Victorian house are staffed by interpreters in period costume performing many of the tasks of daily living appropriate to the period. The museum was inspired by a single piece of machinery a mobile peanut combine developed in 1948 by James L. Shepherd, a research scientist at the Coastal Plains Experiment Station in Tifton. Shepherd's widow and former State Sen. Ford Spinks spearheaded construction of a museum of Georgia agriculture around the combine. The museum was originally modeled and named after the Cyclorama, a commemoration of the Battle of Atlanta during the American Civil War, that now resides in the Atlanta History Center. In 2010, the 95-acre living history museum moved under the umbrella of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College and the University of System of Georgia. Now, in addition to its focus on historic preservation of antiques, artifacts, old ways and structures, the museum is teaching children about modern agriculture. With funding assistance from the Harley Langdale Jr. Foundation based in Valdosta, the museum has added to its grounds an outdoor classroom complex called "Destination Ag." Boasting everything from an aquaponics station populated by channel catfish and Brussels sprouts to a fire ecology stop featuring a CASE wheel loader, drip torch and box blade, the complex hosts 21,000 elementary school students a year for interactive lessons in modern agriculture and natural resources. Sara Hand, assistant director of the museum, said the staff saw the need to focus more educational efforts on modern ag through conversations with parents and teachers accompanying children on historic tours and workshops. Hand recalled one conversation with a teacher who insisted that bacon doesn't come from a pig. "These are parents and teachers from South Georgia. They see peanuts growing, although they may not realize it. They see cotton growing but they just don't pay it any attention," said Hand, the granddaughter of museum founder Ford Spinks who also followed her father in the employ of the museum. "They don't have that direct connection (to farming) any more. They go buy their food from a grocery store. They might go to a farmers market but still that connection has been lost these last few generations as we've moved off the farm, so that's what we're trying to do is help make that connection again." Museum Director Garrett Boone said Destination Ag makes learning fun with interactive exhibits, water, heavy machinery and a gopher tortoise in his mid-30s named Ernest. A subtle component of every lesson is a discussion of the potential careers associated with it that also incorporates elements of math and science in conformity with curriculum standards set by the state. "These children we're teaching, they are future consumers. They are a potential workforce, and without their interest, without the proper information, they're not going to be that workforce. They're not going to know the opportunities that exist," Boone said. To help impart that new-found knowledge in fun and memorable ways, the museum employs student instructors from ABAC, who sometimes discover new opportunities in a field they thought they knew. Katie Horlock, a junior from Woodstock, is one of several student instructors who report to work daily to set up the learning stations, deliver the lessons and also help around the grounds feeding the animals in the museum's nature center, doing lab work, conducting outreach activities and contributing to the museum's social media presence. "I wanted to be a high school agriculture teacher and once I started here it made me realize I want to teach elementary school, so I plan to transfer to UGA and get my master's in early childhood so I can teach elementary agriculture," Horlock said. Georgia initiated a three-year pilot program for teaching ag- riculture in 20 elementary schools around the state this year. "When I saw that come out all I could think was, `This is my dream to do this,'" Horlock said. "I may have to start as a regular elementary teacher for a while because that may not be available as soon as I graduate. I just have to think of the possibilities and come to whatever is offered, but I am really hoping that somewhere there will be one offered." The Georgia Agriculture Museum and Historic Village will be testing out new lesson plans for Destination Ag for school classes making field trips to the National Antique Agriculture Show at the Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter in Perry Nov. 14-16. "We'll have 20 stations providing the educational component for the fairgrounds," said Sara Hand, assistant director of the museum. "We'll talk about cotton, herpetology, agriculture and natural resources history, different components. We'll have interpreters in historic costumes talking about history, students from Destination Ag talking about modern agriculture." They'll also take a few of the 22,000 artifacts from their collection, including a Ford Model T truck. "Our running joke here is if it's not nailed down, it's going," Hand said. This is a new show at the fairgrounds and a fresh chance to debut new learning stations for the museum. "This is the first time they're doing this event and it gave us a good opportunity to create some outreach programming and a good setting to test it and get feedback from a lot of teachers at one time, so we're really excited about it." Old South Farm Museum to close after cultivating learning of agrarian past By Jay Jones jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov WOODLAND After 23 years, the Old South Farm Museum and Ag Learning Center is closed. Paul Bulloch kept a lot of memories from his collection of farm items from the early 20th century, and he is proud to have made new ones during his museum's run. The museum catered mostly to school field trips, and Bulloch remembered when he got children to write letters to farmers. "I told the kids to write a letter to tell the farmers we appreciated what they did like soybean farmers or cotton farmers or beef farmers and tell them, `Mr. Farmer, we just thank you for food and fiber, for feeding us and giving us milk,'" he said. "And you know, I'd hear from these farmers, `Hey, I got a letter from these children!' I mean, it brightened their day. They're out there farming all this time, and you come and get a nice letter from a school group. It made their day and showed them that people really do care." Since 1996 the museum allowed visitors to travel back in time to the days when Georgia's was an agrarian economy nurtured by hand labor. Owned and operated by Bulloch, the museum features a wide variety of common household goods, tools and farm equipment found in Georgia during the 19th and 20th centuries. The collection is housed in two large warehouses containing more than 30,000 square feet of displays. The collection is a picker's paradise with several tractors, a sawmill, a cane mill and several cotton gins including one gin dating to the 1840s that Bulloch said is home-made and designed to be powered by a horse. Bulloch said he couldn't pick one item that is the most unique, though he can tell a good story about Tom Huston's peanut roasters, items that date to the beginning of Columbus-based Tom's Foods snacks.

I got two of them," he said. "They would get out on the streets on Saturday nights back in the '20s and '30s and sell roasted peanuts a dime a bag. I also got some wood splitters Tom Huston made." Before opening the Old South Farm Museum, Bulloch spent 30 years educating farmers and members of the community as a county extension agent in Bibb, Carroll and Talbot counties. He explained that he worked a lot with 4-H and FFA groups, and he opened his museum to teach youth about farming. For years, the Old South Farm Museum attracted about 5,000 visitors a year who were mostly children on school field trips. Children had the opportunity to milk a cow, gather chicken eggs and shell corn. Bulloch said for many of the children, it was the first time for them doing any of those farm-related things. "As they did it, we were talking to them and telling them this is how people did it a long time ago," he said. They had to dig the well and draw the water out with hand pumps." However, with more than 50 years in agriculture, Bulloch said it is time to close the museum. He had an assistant for most of the time to help run the museum, but the man left, and Bulloch said it is challenging to keep it going. "I'm 77, and I don't have anybody to help me anymore," he said. "When you get old, you can't get up to do what you used to do. I get around, but I don't do what I could 20 years ago. Some days I feel good, and some days I don't." Bulloch said he hopes to keep his collection together. If he can't find a new home for everything, he said he would auction the items. He noted the museum carries a lot of memories and stories, but one he cherishes is how he was able to create new ones and have an impact on others. "I remember this seventh-grade girl coming on a school field trip, and she had never seen a chicken in her life until she came here," he said. "I met up with her years later and found out she started raising chickens, then went to college and studied agriculture and eventually got a good job in the field. I'm sure glad I was able to talk to her." The Old South Farm Museum is located at 80 Pleasant Valley Road in Woodland, about 40 miles northeast of Columbus in Talbot County.
