Governor's Office of Highway Safety, GDA urge drivers to be aware of slow-moving farm vehicles

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
MOULTRIE Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture Gary Black joined state highway safety officials and farmers at the Sunbelt Ag Expo Oct. 16 to urge motorists to slow down and be aware on rural roads to prevent accidents involving farm vehicles.
The agencies along with the Georgia Farm Bureau were making an annual call for safe driving at the Expo. Allen Poole, director of the Governor's Office of Highway Safety, reminded people that there is more farm equipment on the road now with the fall harvest season in full swing. As farmers work to get their crops to market, Poole said drivers need to pay attention when traveling on rural roads.

"Many drivers feel that they can since 2014 where 28 people were

is to have zero accidents involving farm equipment. He believes that goal is attainable, but it will take the work and awareness of both farmers and drivers.

families being negatively impacted

Georgia Grown Baby Barn is a labor of love for GDA

Long hours, hard work show the reality of farming

By Amy Carter amy.carter@agr.georgia.gov
PERRY Dawn is hitching a ride on the tailgate of Tommy Sheffield's state-issued pick-up truck, paying its fare by illuminating the twisting ribbon of asphalt leading him far afield of the Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter. Up ahead where it's still dark, Corey Cravey and Jason Beck are hauling a livestock trailer loaded with two mama cows and the babies they delivered at the Georgia Grown Baby Barn on the opening day of the Georgia National Fair.
Bound for the dairy the cows call home, the three part-time cowboys are embarking

on an 11-day stint transport-

ing cows to and from the

Baby Barn before reporting

for their regular schedule of

duties on behalf of the Geor-

gia Department of Agricul-

ture. For the second year, the

Baby Barn offered hundreds

of thousands of fairgoers

many of whom lack farm

experience the opportuni-

ty to witness the live births

of Holstein calves and watch

newborn piglets eat, sleep

and play. The Baby Barn is staffed

ployees with livestock and

behind the scenes making the attraction safe ical labor: building corrals, herding cows,

shoveling feed and manure and scrubbing water troughs often while answering questions from a curious public watching them do their chores.
More than just an opportunity to pet a piglet or hear a calf's first "moo," the Baby Barn offers a live look at the daily life of a farmer or rancher. To a person, the employees who volunteer for this unusual assignment say it's a privilege to tell the story of an industry they know and love.
"It's enjoyable," said Carrie Crabtree, assistant director of the GDA's Tifton Lab. "To me, working with animals is a peaceful thing, but then also getting to talk to the kids and the people that come through is nice."
She said it's also an opportunity to ease the work load for inspectors in the GDA's Livestock and Poultry Division, who stay busy during the fair checking in thousands of an-

Good morning, sunshine!
First Lady Marty Kemp brought sunshine to an otherwise cloudy opening day of the 43rd Sunbelt Agricultural Expo when she joined Georgia Grown Executive Chef Holly Chute Oct. 15 for a Georgia Grown cooking demo. The pair prepared a Kale, Apple, Bacon and Egg White Breakfast Burrito for the early crowd in Moultrie. The dish incorporated Georgiamade foods including Baker Farms Kale, bacon from Carroll's Sausage, Jaemor Farms apples, Ol tortillas and Bootlikker Hot Sauce. See more photos from opening day of Expo in Moultrie on page 16.

Georgie's Drive Thru

Port Wentworth

Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel

the state of Georgia promoting our No. 1 industry agricul-

ture! Everybody knows that Eli Whitney invented the modern

mechanical cotton gin. But did you know that he invented

it in 1793 near Port Wentworth in Chatham County? Born

and raised in Connecticut, Whitney was on a ship headed

to South Carolina to begin his career as a teacher when he

met Catharine Greene, the widow of the Revolutionary War

Hero Nathanael Greene and owner of Mulberry Grove Plan-

tation. Gen. Greene was given the plantation as a gift from

George Washington after the previous owner was kicked out

for supporting another George, King George III of England.

Whitney came to the plantation to tutor Greene's children and

tinkered with an idea he had for separating cotton lint from

seed. When he perfected his design, he built a full-size gin

at Mulberry Grove. The only remnants of the plantation are

a few brick foundations. The rest was destroyed during Sher-

man's March to the Sea.

A modern cotton gin. (Lee Lancaster/GDA)

My Tractor Story: Fred Bracewell's 1948 Ford 8N
By Lillian Bracewell and Ginger Bracewell Weeks
Dodge County
Fred R. Bracewell from Dodge County bought his 1948 Ford 8N tractor from Saunders Ford Motor Company in January 1948. It was the first new tractor delivered to Dodge County after World War II.
Fred farmed 150 acres of his land and rented land to have enough work until he set out pines and went to work with the Dodge County ASCS and then with the U.S. Soil Conservation Service until he retired. He continued to use the tracto maintain his pasture and to set out pine trees.
The tractor was overhauled in May 2014 by Wayne Dennard, for shop teacher at Dodge County High School, and is still going strong Fred's family to maintain his farm.
Fred passed away on May 17, 2019 Do you have a tractor story at the age of 93. He was still proud to tell? We'd love to share of his Ford 8N tractor and counted it with our readers. Write to on Lillian, his wife of 72 years, his Lee Lancaster in care of the daughter, two granddaughters and Market Bulletin, or email lee. three great-granddaughters to look lancaster@agr.georgia.gov. after it for years to come.

Cook Georgia Grown:
Apple Potstickers with Milk Jam Dip

By Georgia Grown Chef Deborah VanTrece Twisted Soul Cookhouse & Pours, Atlanta
Ingredients
Milk jam: 1 qt whole milk 1 1/2 cups granulated Sugar 1/2 tsp baking soda tsp pure vanilla extract,
or vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped
Directions

Apple Potstickers: 1 pkg potsticker or wonton
wrappers 3 apples 1 Tbsp lemon juice 1/3 cup brown sugar 1/8 tsp cinnamon 1/8 tsp cardamom 1 pinch ground ginger 1/8 tsp lemon zest 1/8 tsp orange zest 2 Tbsps unsalted butter 4 oz local goat cheese Canola or other neutral oil for frying Cornstarch as needed

Milk Jam: Combine milk, sugar and baking soda in a large saucepan and heat over medium. Add scraped seeds and split vanilla bean. Bring to a simmer and stir to dissolve the sugar.
Once sugar has dissolved, reduce the heat to a low simmer. Stir occasionally and allow mixture to reduce to about 1 1/4 cups. Mixture will darken in color and reduce in approximately two hours. There may be some separation.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer. Store in a sealed container and refrigerate.

Apple Filling: Peel and medium dice the apples. Place in a medium bowl and toss with lemon juice.
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add apples and remaining ingredients and combine until apples are well coated. Cook until apples begin to just soften. Set aside and allow to cool.

Assemble: Lightly dust the work surface with cornstarch to keep wrappers from sticking. Lay out 4-6 wrappers at a time and place a teaspoon or so of apple mixture in each round. Moisten edges with water, fold in half and seal edge by pressing down with a fork. Place on sheet pan or platter and refrigerate 30 minutes or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Heat oil in a large skillet to about 375 degrees F, and fry the potstickers, a few at a time, about 1 minute per side. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Drizzle the apple potstickers with warm milk jam and sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese to serve.

Practitioner Profiles: Dr. LeAnna Carney

This is the second in an occasional series of profiles of large animal veterinarians who have given a year of service to rural communities in exchange for financial assistance from the Georgia Veterinary Education Loan Repayment Program.
The State Veterinary Education Board of Georgia administers the GVELRP and works alongside the Georgia Student Finance Authority to make payments on the student loans of the program's participants after their year-long service period is completed. Dr. LeAnna Carney graduated from the inaugural class of participants in 2018.

Question: What attracted you to become a large animal veterinarian? Answer: In my sophomore year in college, I started working for a large animal veterinarian (same vet she is working for now) and I knew right then and there that's what I wanted to do. Up until that time, I was kind of undecided. I knew I wanted to go into the medical field. I figured it would be along the human side, but then I jumped into a mixed animal practice and fell in love with working with the large animals. I enjoy going out to the farm and being outside. Every day is different. No day is ever the same. There are always different cases, problems. All the cows are different, so I enjoy the variety.
Q: What excites you most about the future of large animal veterinary science? I don't know if anything really excites me. I've got to keep doing what I'm doing because I don't think there are many veterinarian students going into the field, so I am a little bit concerned about it. I'm going to work as long as I can to give these local farmers the security that they know there is somebody who will come

(Provided photo)
out and do it. I don't know what the future holds for large animal. I just know the large animal veterinarians coming out of college are few and far between and that does scare me.
Q: What advice would you offer to someone considering a career as a large animal veterinarian? You don't necessarily have to have a large animal background to go into large animal medicine, but I do believe you need to work for a large animal practitioner. Also, make sure you understand the dedication, the hours and the case load that you're getting into before you do it because it's very demanding. It takes a special kind of person in my opinion to be a large animal vet. We don't work 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. days.

Mercer Medical Moment: Prevention of fall injury related to common medications in the elderly

By Jaehwa Choi and Hye Yoon Mercer University Medical Center

Slips, stumble and falls are very

common in the elderly. As much as

one in four people aged 65 years and

older experiences a fall each year.

About half of them fall at least twice

or more times each year. Falls are

more common among the elderly in

nursing homes up to half of them

fall. Falls become more common with

increasing age. As one ages, the abil-

Jaehwa Choi

ity to balance may decline as the decrease in the level of activity lessens a

person's agility and muscle strength.

Falls are the leading cause of in-

juries in older Americans. Although

most falls result in minor injuries,

visits to the emergency department

and/or hospitalization may occur.

Falls can even be fatal due to frac-

tures of the hip, wrist and arm, head

injury, and complications. The total

healthcare costs on both fatal and

nonfatal falls in the United States in

Hye Yoon

2000 were $19.2 billion.

In addition, quality of life after the

fall is impacted by loss of mobility and even the fear of fall-

ing. The older population is more likely to have fractures and

head injuries during the fall and consequently, more serious

fall injuries. The number of deaths from falls increased with

age and more than doubled among the elderly (75 years and

older) from 2000 to 2016. Several risk factors have been identified for recurrent
falls. Women are more likely to fall than men. Low level of activity, mobility impairment, previous falls and fear of falling increase the chance of recurrent falls. Health conditions such as arthritis, Parkinson's disease, vision or hearing problems, cognitive impairment, postural hypotension, depression, urinary incontinence, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases, pain, and other chronic diseases also contribute to recurrent falls.
Although some risk factors such as aging and gender are not controllable, increasing activity and mobility, minimizing environmental hazards through decluttering walking paths, and treating underlying health conditions can be a part of prevention efforts.
Drugs may increase the risk of a fall injury, particularly in the elderly. Researchers have found that over half of the 20 drugs that are most frequently prescribed to older adults may increase fall injury. A study reported that the majority (72 percent) of people aged 55 years and older use at least one drug. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Center for Health Statistics have reported that about 67 percent of Americans aged 65 years and older have taken three or more prescription drugs in the last 30 days and more than 40 percent have taken five or more prescription drugs.
Researchers have found that some prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and dietary supplements may increase an elderly person's fall risk. These include antithrombotic agents (e.g., blood thinners to prevent blood clots and heart attacks), diuretics (e.g., Lasix for anti-hypertension medication), acid reflux or heartburn medications (e.g., Prilosec), pain medications (e.g., aspirin, Advil, Motrin, Midol,

Aleve, opioids), constipation treatments and sleep aid drugs. Dietary supplements such as vitamin B12, folic acid, and
calcium supplements also increase the fall risk. Medications that affect heart and blood pressure can lower the amount of blood that circulates in the body. Decreased blood flow to the brain may cause dizziness and fall, particularly when a person stands up quickly from the lying position. Any medications that impair brain function directly, such as antipsychotics, antidepressants, anticonvulsants, sleep pills and pain medications increase risk of fall.
The CDC developed the Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths and Injuries initiative to promote fall prevention. STEADI encourages review and management of medications to reduce fall risks in the elderly related to medications. Drugs are given a score from 1 to 3 based on their potential for increasing fall risk.
Drugs that cause drowsiness and diminish the ability to think clearly, such as pain medications, sleep aids, and epilepsy and psychosis treatments are given the highest score of 3. Drugs that are used to treat hypertension and other heart diseases are given a medium score of 2. Diuretics that increase the need for walking are given the lowest score of 1. A patient's total score of more than 6 points shows that he/ she is at a higher risk of falls and may need an in-depth evaluation by a physician and/or pharmacist.
Fall injury in the elderly can be prevented by increasing the level of activity (e.g., exercise for increasing strength) and by managing medications wisely to reduce risks for fall. However, in most cases, stopping certain drugs may not be a realistic option because treating the underlying disease is more important than preventing fall injury. Therefore, consultation with your doctor and pharmacist for an entire drug review regarding possible fall risk is critical.

Crop insurance deadline
nears in Georgia
Pasture, rangeland and forage and apiculture producers need to make insurance decisions soon
VALDOSTA The USDA's Risk Management Agency reminds Georgia forage, livestock and honey producers that the final date to apply for crop insurance coverage for the 2020 crop year is Nov. 15. Current policyholders who wish to make changes to their existing coverage also have until the Nov. 15 sales closing date to do so.
Federal crop insurance is critical to the farm safety net. It helps producers and owners manage revenue risks and strengthens the rural economy. Acreage intended for grazing and haying is insurable under the Pasture, Rangeland, and Forage program, and colonies of bees are insurable under the Apiculture program. The PRF and Apiculture programs for 2020 are under the Rainfall Index insurance plan. Coverage is available for PRF and apiculture in all Georgia counties. For more information regarding coverage, producer can access RMA Apiculture Grid ID Locator and the PRF Tool online.
Producers are encouraged to visit their crop insurance agent soon to learn specific details for the 2020 crop year. A list of crop insurance agents is available at all USDA Service Centers and online at the RMA Agent Locator. Producers can use the RMA Cost Estimator to get a premium amount estimate of their insurance needs online.

GATE Corner: New 2020 cards will be issued soon

By Bryant Kersey
GATE Program Manager
And we're back... The GATE Corner would like to remind you that letters and emails will be sent soon regarding the different renewals for Georgia Agriculture Tax Exemption cards. All current cards will expire Dec. 31, 2019. The two- and three-year renewals will receive their new cards with the new expiration date of 2020. The applicants that were on the one-year renewal will receive their renewal invoice for the three-year renewal at that time. New cards are issued each year, so expiration of these new cards will be 2020. Any new applicant whose paperwork is received after the 2019 cut-off date of Dec. 2 will be put on a three-year renewal. The new card will be valid Jan. 1, 2020. Retailers and merchants are reminded that the new cards for 2020 will display a different color. Consumers should present their GATE card at each purchase. The top three questions this week are ones we've received in weeks past. There still seems to be some

confusion about qualifying for GATE under long-term category "C." This qualification is for a crop that may take several years to yield fruit or for a herd that takes a year or two to mature. When considering the number of trees planted or the number of cattle to purchase, make sure the return will average out to the $5,000 minimum the program requires.
The question of what form or schedule is right for your farming operation is still causing some confusion. This is something that must be discussed with your tax preparer. The 1040 tax form alone will not qualify you for the GATE Program. There are six different schedules/forms that are agriculture-related that have been selected by the Georgia State
Legislature to qualify for GATE benefits. These qualifying tax forms are listed on our website. Non-profit organizations that do not file one of the six selections will not qualify. Any selection of "other" will be left up to the review and evaluation of the Gate Program Staff.
Now, in closing this week, know that "A farmer has to be an optimist or he or she wouldn`t still be a farmer."

GDA, educators partner to bring Georgia grown food to schools

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
School children across Georgia this fall are reaping the harvest of good nutrition with local food on their plates.
October is National Farm to School Month to spotlight a national effort to improve student health while also strengthening communities. In Georgia, the initiative is a partnership between the Georgia Departments of Agriculture, Education and Public Health and Georgia Organics to help schools source lunchroom menus with locally grown food.
Misty Friedman, the GDA Farms to School coordinator, said the program also strives to teach students where their food is from and why it matters.
"One of the biggest things about Farm to School is working with as Commissioner (Gary) Black puts it our youngest consumers, and showing them the Georgia Grown label and teaching them about what all grows in our state," she said.
Part of that work is to make learning fun for children. A "Harvest of the Month" calendar is created to spotlight a specific food item that is in peak season, which is then used to develop lessons and activities for the students.
September was apple month, and many schools across the state held "Apple Crunch for Lunch" events where children munched on apples together at noon for "The Crunch Heard Around the State!"
October's spotlight food is zucchini. School cafeterias will offer zucchini as a vegetable choice for student lunches for the month. Cafeterias at some schools will help teachers with taste tests among students to pick out popular dishes prepared with zucchini.
Holly Thaw, Farm to School specialist with the Georgia Department of Education, said that kind of in-school collaboration is another benefit of the program.
"It provides an opportunity for the cafeterias to connect with the classrooms. By focusing on a harvest of the month item, they can work with their classroom teachers and share information about the item, about the farm, about where it comes from in Georgia," Thaw said.
Other Harvest of the Month items include sweet potatoes in November, root vegetables like carrots and beets in March and strawberries and blueberries in the spring. Friedman noted that the timing of Harvest of the Month calendar items allows schools to get fresh, locally-grown food year round.
"You think of Georgia as peaches and pecans, peanuts and Vidalia onions, and then you really see the amount of other ag products produced in this state," she said. "We can truly serve one item every single day to every single student that is a Georgia-produced or -grown product. That's the impact of Farm to School."

Thaw admitted some food items are a tougher sell to children than apples, peaches and watermelon. Later during the school year, Harvest of the Month items will include lettuce in December and collards, mustard and turnip greens in January.
"Certainly, there are some items that appear to be more challenging than others, but you would be surprised," she said. "Students are more adventurous than you think, especially if the environment is presented well."
The Farm to School program also helps school districts procure locally grown food while also meeting state and federal food regulations. Thaw said those regulations might be daunting at first, but once reached, most rural school districts, depending on its size, can buy directly from local farmers. Larger districts like Cobb, Gwinnett, Fulton and outside the Atlanta area will work with their distributors to buy local.
"There might not be just one farm that can provide a Gwinnett County, but several apple orchards or zucchini farmers can come together to sell to the school district," Thaw said. "Because we are part of the National School Lunch program, we do purchase under procurement laws. We do a lot of work to make sure our schools understand how they can purchase

locally and be comfortable to do so correctly." Farm to School is in all 50 states that involve over 40,000
schools and 23.5 million students reached. Georgia began its program in 2007 and currently has 92 percent of state public schools considering Georgia-grown products in planning their meal menus. Thaw said the hope is to continue expanding the program and finding new ways to introduce farm-fresh foods from Georgia beyond growing vegetables in a school garden.
Friedman added that all the work in Georgia Farm to School efforts is driven by the program's 2020 vision for school nutrition. Along with making nutritious foods available to Georgia's students and teaching them about the origins of those foods, the program also works to support agriculture and strengthen local markets.
"That's big in that we are able to document growth in consumer dollars that are staying here in Georgia with schools purchasing directly from farmers and having school purchasing contracts consider foods grown in Georgia," Friedman said.

Producers are reminded to sell only to licensed and bonded brokers
According to the University of Georgia's 2017 Ag Forecast, vegetables, fruits, and nuts make up approximately $1.84 billion of Georgia's agricultural farm gate value. With prime produce season upon us, the Georgia Department of Agriculture wants to ensure that our producers are protected against the growing trend of non-payment.
The Georgia Dealer in Agricultural Products Act was first enacted in 1956 and has undergone several changes over the years, with the latest change being in 2013. However, the primary purpose of the law has remained the same: to protect Georgia producers from non-payment by ensuring that people who are buying from producers are licensed and bonded by the GDA.
Our biggest obstacle to effectively enforcing the law is knowing who is purchasing from Georgia's producers. Dealers and brokers from all over the United States come to Georgia to take advantage of the year-round availability of fruit and vegetables. We want to encourage all producers to better protect themselves from non-payment by asking one simple question to each dealer or broker who wants to purchase from them: "Are you licensed and bonded with the State of Georgia?"
If the answer is yes, then the producer is protected under the Dealer in Agricultural Products Act. However, if the answer is no, then there is no protection in the event of non-payment. We understand that it is hard to pass on a sale, but in the ever-changing agriculture market, the risk may not be worth the reward if the reward never comes and it costs a family its livelihood.
Producers can contact the Georgia Department of Agriculture's Warehouse and Bonding Section to confirm whether a dealer or broker is licensed and bonded. Please be advised that if producers choose to do business with non-licensed dealers or brokers, then they will be doing so at their own risk because the GDA will not be able pursue payment on behalf of these producers.
Again, we urge all producers to ask each dealer or broker with whom they are conducting business whether the dealer or broker is licensed and bonded with the State of Georgia. If the dealer or broker is not licensed and bonded, please reach out to the Department. Far too often, the GDA is unable to help producers secure payment when we could have, if only the producer would have ensured that the dealer or broker was licensed and bonded.
It is the Georgia Department of Agriculture's goal to protect every Georgia producer, but we cannot do this on our own. Please feel free to reach out to the Georgia Department of Agriculture Warehouse and Bonding Section at 404.656.3676 or by email to jason.wamba@agr.georgia.gov.

Crop Insurance Deadline Nears in Georgia
Georgia growers need to make insurance decisions soon
VALDOSTA The USDA's Risk Management Agency reminds Georgia apple, blueberry and peach growers that the final date to apply for crop insurance coverage for the 2020 crop year is Nov. 20. Growers who are interested in the WholeFarm Revenue Protection policy and are late fiscal year filers have until Nov. 20 to apply for crop insurance. Current policyholders who wish to make changes to their existing coverage also have until the Nov. 20 sales closing date to do so.
Federal crop insurance is critical to the farm safety net. It helps producers and owners manage revenue risks and strengthens the rural economy. Coverage is available for apples in Fannin, Gilmer, and Rabun counties. Coverage is available for blueberries in Appling, Atkinson, Bacon, Berrien, Brantley, Burke, Clinch, Coffee, Colquitt, Jeff Davis, Lanier, Long, Pierce, Ware, and Wayne counties. Coverage is also available for peaches in Bacon, Banks, Bleckley, Brooks, Crawford, Dooly, Hall, Henry, Macon, Meriwether, Monroe, Morgan, Oconee, Peach, Pierce, Pike, Schley and Taylor counties. Coverage is available for Whole-Farm Revenue Protection in all Georgia counties.
Growers are encouraged to visit their crop insurance agent soon to learn specific details for the 2020 crop year. A list of crop insurance agents is available at all USDA Service Centers and online at the RMA Agent Locator. Growers can use the RMA Cost Estimator to get a premium amount estimate of their insurance needs online.

Baby Barn: Even the children of farmers are enthralled

imals for various livestock shows. "There are so many animals from so many different places
coming in and they have to make sure the health papers are in order ... so nobody gets sick (in the livestock barns)," she said. "This gives us volunteers an opportunity to step out of our normal roles in the department."
It's not so much unusual work for Sheffield, Cravey and Beck as it is early, although they're not complaining. Throughout the 11-day run of the fair, they leave in the pre-dawn hours from Dodge County and environs to pick up cows and calves in Perry. As they roll further west to drop off four animals and pick up two more, the rising sun spotlights peanuts stacked around poles to dry the old-fashioned way, leading one to wonder if the two-lane country road Sheffield is traveling has transformed his truck into a time machine. A few more revolutions of the wheels reveal a field dotted with thousand-pound rolls of hay baled the 21st century way.
Still, certain tableaux are timeless. Orchards of broad-shoul-

dered pecan trees stand sentry in ruler-straight rows while a white-columned Missionary Baptist Church reminds all who pass that God also has the watch. On down the road a piece, the incandescence of a field of mature cotton is muted by a filmy blanket of low-hanging fog.
That view is a perk universally enjoyed by the early crew, and one Livestock/Poultry Division Manager Dan Duncan said he looks forward to daily when he makes his first run to the dairy to shovel silage for the cows in the Baby Barn.
Such scenery isn't unfamiliar to Sheffield, a supervisor in the GDA's Companion Animal/Equine Section that Cravey and Beck also work for. Sheffield's territory covers nearly 70 counties west of Interstate 75 between the Florida line and Rome. Within that area, a diverse list of crops attests to the bounty and beauty of Georgia agriculture. By Sheffield's accounting they include cotton, peanuts, soybeans, corn, olives, citrus, blueberries, tobacco, tomatoes, peas, beans and squash. For the past few weeks, he's witnessed the peanut

harvest in Georgia. It's one of the sweetest smells in agriculture, he said.
"I did my mileage report for September and I had driven thirty-one-hundred-and-seventy-five miles in the state truck, and then I probably drove that much again in my personal vehicle, dropping the young'uns everywhere, so I feel like a truck driver most of the time," said the father of four children who range in age from five to 20.
His children haven't grow up around livestock like he did, so Sheffield takes them to the Baby Barn for a glimpse of farm life.
"Last year the two youngest ones they just wiggled their way right up through the crowd and got right up by the fence and were sitting on the floor watching it. The 15-year-old, you know she thought she was too cool to get down there, but she was standing on the bleachers trying to crane her neck to see," he said. "It doesn't matter how many times they've seen it already, they have to go back to the Baby Barn and see more."

No terrible twos for the Georgia Grown Baby Barn
Attraction remains a big draw for fairgoers
By Jay Jones jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov

Dr. Lee Jones can't quite get used to the standing ovation he receives after helping a heifer deliver a calf inside the Georgia Grown Baby Barn.
"As long as I've been doing this, no one has ever stood up and applauded when we've delivered a calf," said Jones, a veterinary medicine professor at the University of Georgia. "The farmer and I, you know, we were happy to get it out alive, and we might have congratulated each other but we've never gotten applause for that outcome."
The Baby Barn is in its second year at the fair and remains a major draw for fair goers. Public birthing and nursery exhibits for farm animals are commonplace at state fairs in the Midwest. Georgia Department of Agriculture officials traveled to the Minnesota State Fair to observe the birthing centers there as they started developing Georgia's Baby Barn.
The goal of the Baby Barn is to give the public an opportunity to see live births of cows and see newborn piglets on display. Jones said from the questions he hears at the fair he believes many people are unclear about the care and breeding of cattle and dairy cows.
"That is something that is one of those unintended consequences of improving production," he said. "If you improve production and efficiency you have fewer people involved in production. The fewer people involved, the fewer people are aware of practices."
Cows do not operate on a fair schedule, so a push notification through the Fair's smartphone app is sent out when a cow shows signs of a possible delivery.
People gather, and audience participation is part of the Baby Barn experience. Four names are picked at random, and then the audience gets the opportunity to name the newborns by voting with their smartphones.
Michelle Head of Commerce suggested the name "Crawford" for a bull calf born this year. Head works in Jefferson and offered the name in honor of the town's favorite son, Crawford W. Long, inventor of anesthesia. Although her suggestion lost out to the name "Bo,"

Head still enjoyed her visit to the Baby Barn. "I love it," she said. "I think it gives a lot of people an experience they would otherwise
not have the chance to see."

together, are preventable. We can stop injury. We can stop loss of life, if we just work together," Black said.
Jody Redding of Moultrie spoke from the experience of a near miss he had with a

speeding semi-truck while moving his grain drill on a rural road in Colquitt County last year. The two vehicles met on a bridge, and despite having his son driving an escort vehicle ahead of him, the semi came inches away

from striking him. Redding told the gathering that distract-
ed driving with cell phones and driving too fast are sure ways of having an accident with a farm vehicle. He asked everyone to "put

the phone down and stay vigilant. Life is too short, and we don't need to make it shorter."

Scenes from Opening Day Spence Field in Moultrie hosted the 42nd Sunbelt Agricultural Expo Oct. 15-17. Opening day dawned with some much-needed rain, while more than 1,200 exhibitors

at Sunbelt Ag Expo

welcomed show-goers who braved the drizzle to see the latest farm technology and hear expert advice from leading scientists and vendors in the industry.

U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue toured the livestock barn at Expo, where he met up with diversified producer Bo Herndon of Lyons, center, and Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black.

Fredando "Farmer Fredo" Jackson and Flint River Fresh took over sponsorship of the Sustainable Living Center at Expo this year. Expo Director Chip Blalock praised Farmer Fredo's work cultivating the garden at the center prior to a ribbon cutting ceremony.

Georgia Grown comes into its own at the Georgia National Fair

PERRY In a world where you can buy almost anything with a click of a computer mouse, Margaret Amos says she relishes coming to the Georgia National Fair each year to sell her artisan cheese straws in the Georgia Grown building.
"Of course, people can buy the items online. It's just that they like coming here, saying hello, and getting what they want," Amos said.
It is that personal experience that has attracted vendors and fairgoers to the Georgia Grown building. Officials with Georgia Grown, the marketing division of the Georgia Department of Agriculture, said a lot has changed since their first presence at the fair in 2011 selling T-shirts in a wooden kiosk on the midway.
Matthew Kulinski, assistant marketing director for the GDA, said making the jump from the midway to a large multipurpose building in 2013 was a challenge.
"We had so much space. We didn't know how we would fill it up at first," he said.
There was an exhibit displaying a pile of food to show what a Georgia family would eat in a year. Another exhibit featured a Christmas tree decoration contest, space for corn hole matches and Georgie's Farm for children's activities. Kulinski said Seasons and Faces, a display of photographs of farmers

and producers in the field, was a big hit with fairgoers in 2014.
A movie theater and the Kings Hawaiian stage for cooking demos followed. The Georgia Grown Baby Barn arrived 2018, along with a live auction of products and uniquely Georgia experiences donated by Georgia Grown members.
This year's auction even featured a Georgia-grown auctioneer, Tim Yoder, 30, of Montezuma, who won the 2019 International Livestock Auctioneer Championship earlier this year at the Calgary Stampede in Calgary, Alberta.
"I love the auction business and auctioneers and the chant and the rhythm. It just always fascinated me, and I mean from a little kid, barely able to walk," Yoder said.
As a child, Yoder would practice behind the barn or in the cow pasture, finally making it official in September 2013 by attending the Worldwide College of Auctioneers in Denver. Breaking into the business is hard, he said, but he's built a presence selling everything from cars to livestock.
He won the International Livestock Auctioneer Championship his second time entering by conducting a sale with live buyers.
"There is a transaction that takes place while the contest is happening," he said.
The Georgia Grown Auction raises money for the Georgia 4-H and Georgia FFA Foundations, and drew big crowds of willing buyers both years. Every new attraction added to the Georgia Grown building makes it that much more appealing to a broader demographic.

"We added something each year with the idea that we had at the very beginning to make it educational, help Georgia Grown members sell their Georgia-grown products, and to make it an attraction," Kulinski said.
Amos, who owns Southern Straws in Columbus with her son, Neal, has been coming to the fair for five years, and has enjoyed being part of the transformation.
"Five years ago, people would walk in and say, `What is this?'" she said. "Now, it's many people who say it's the first thing they come to at the fair looking for cheese straws, pecans and honey."
Clay and Valerie Oliver sell cooking oils and gluten-free flours at their booth in the building in the Georgia Grown building. Valerie Oliver said people come back each year looking for her as if they are old friends.
"We've met so many people, and they will buy a gallon of oil from us after meeting us for the first time," she said. "It's such a wonderful experience to be able to make an impression on people here."
The reunion of kindred spirits that occurs every year in the Georgia Grown Building isn't confined to vendors and their loyal customers. There is also a spirit of teamwork among the businesses themselves, with each rooting for the others' success.
That was apparent as they marked the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Michael's landfall in Southwest Georgia on Oct. 9. For the first time in its 30-year history, the gates to the fair were closed in 2018 and remained so for a day-and-a-half. None of the vendors made sales.

This year, they decided to break the bad spell of that memory by betting amongst themselves on who would make the first sale of the day.
When David Goodson of Goodson Pecans yelled, "I got it!" everyone nearby applauded.
"There is a lot comradery here, and we try to help each other out," Amos said. "I will sell some cheese straws, then tell them, `Have you tried the pecans over there?' or `They have really good pickles next door.'"

For the second year, the Georgia Grown Baby Barn hosted opening ceremonies for the fair, where Gov. Brian Kemp and First Lady Marty Kemp, Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black, House Speaker David Ralston and other members of the General Assembly assisted the fair board in a ribbon-cutting.
