April flood puts metro farmers out of business

Global Growers seeks new farm site to serve refugees, immigrants

By Amy Carter

STONE MOUNTAIN There was nothing perfect about the storm that befell Bamboo Creek Farm on April 19. It started with heavy rain that turned the trickling waters of Snapfinger Creek into a flood, which inundated 10 acres cultivated by refugee and immigrant farmers making a fresh start in the suburbs of Atlanta.
Spring crops were in full production, and about 80 percent of the farm's summer plantings were in the ground. Two seasons were lost in one fell swoop. Adding woe to hardship was a new set of food safety regulations that prohibit the sale of any crop touched by flood waters. And because the storm wasn't an organized system, no federal disaster aid is available. Just like that, five farmers were out of business.
"It's a bit painful even for me to be out here, because this was a farm that we poured our blood, sweat and tears into for years to get set up as kind of this unique model of co-farming," said Robin Chanin, executive director of Global Growers.
Global Growers is a non-profit working with immigrants who brought extensive farming knowledge with them but lack the capital to establish their own farms in

America. Global Growers creates a shared infrastructure that includes irrigation, cold storage, an aggregation and distribution network, a community tractor and hand tools.

Farmers lease their plots on land owned or leased by Global Growers and work their beds themselves, turning over each bed as often as six times a season.

Although more labor intensive than traditional row-cropping, this style of production was fruitful enough to be the sole financial support for three of the five farmers displaced by the flood. Altogether, the Global Growers network realized more than $200,000 a year in retail and wholesale income.
Bamboo Creek Farm was the hub of this operation. A former horse farm situated at the back of a residential neighborhood, the farm was a model of ingenuity. The barn was retrofitted to serve as a packing house with two wash stations. Two shipping containers insulated and fitted with window air conditioning units provided continuous cold storage for different crops, proving more reliable than a traditional refrigerated unit, according to farm operations manager Todd Eittreim.
Making use of skills that might otherwise have been left at the border, the growers at Bamboo Creek Farm utilized resources at hand, rarely tapping into the mass-produced convenience of modern agriculture drip

Stock dog herding tests handler and dog for precision and skill

MOULTRIE Stock dog herding is all about moving livestock from point A to point B. It's the part in between those points

that makes the competition so intriguing. "There is a lot going on, and there is a lot
that can go wrong," said Donna Brisbin of Aiken, SC. "It can be a humbling sport."
Brisbin discussed the sport during the stock dog trials at the Sunbelt Agricultural Expo last month. Her Border Collie, Turk, still has a lot of puppy in him and misbehaved as she talked. A scratch under his chin calmed Turk down.
Dogs herd sheep from field to pen with basic voice commands or a whistle from their handlers. Brisbin said the whistles are simple high-low, low-high to move the dog left-to-right. A loud "Down!" or "Up!" will start or stop the dog.
"You can whistle Dixie if you want to, but that would take too long," she said.
Stock dog trials are held all over the world. The International Sheep Dog Society sanctions international trials with participants mostly from Great Britain, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. In the United States, state associations and associations based on breeds organize many of the trials.
The Georgia Stock Dog Association organizes the Sunbelt Expo trials and holds several competitions across the state throughout the year. Jim Shepherd, a show coordinator at the Sunbelt Expo, said the best way to get into stock dog herding is to go to a competition and ask questions. If the next step is to purchase a dog, he said the trials are the best

places to look since many of the handlers are also breeders.
Border Collies are popular and are the dominant breed at the trials in Moultrie, but there are many other stock dog breeds, such as Australian Shepherds and Belgian Malinois.
"The one thing I tell people thinking about getting into it is that these are not AKC

Border Collies. They're not pretty. They are working stock dogs. Their moms and dads did that for a living, and the pups come that way," Shepherd said.
Each trial at the Sunbelt Expo is seven minutes long. During that time, the dog and handler maneuver three sheep across a course laid out in an open field. The dog

Forestry Matters: Shop local for your Christmas tree this year

By Stasia Kelly Georgia Forestry Commission

One of the most gratifying aspects of working around trees

and forests is the realization that this amazing natural resource

contributes positively to the life of every single person in Geor-

gia. Our state's 24 million acres of forestland provides each of

us with oxygen to breathe and filters the water we use - all while

furnishing us with thousands of products, providing places for

recreation and homes for wildlife, and delivering a powerful

punch to the economy. So, when Christmas time comes around,

we're especially proud to join our partners around the state in

recommending everyone "buy real, buy local" this year!

The Georgia Forestry Commission maintains a list of growers

throughout the state who can supply you and your family with

a fresh, fragrant Christmas tree. Find the list online at http:// www.gatrees.org/resources/directories/christmas-tree-vendors/.

FORESTRY

The Georgia Department of Agriculture's Georgia Grown pro- M A T T E R S

gram highlights its tree grower members at https://www.geor-

giagrown.com/find/forestry-products/christmas-trees.

The Georgia Christmas Tree Association (www.gacta.com) represents 85 family tree

farms, and Executive Officer Linda Wilson said 2019 is turning out to be a "good year."

Rains at the right time, in spring after replanting, boosted tree growth. Plus, "there was no

hurricane!"

While some people choose artificial trees for convenience or preferred appearance,

there's plenty of debate about whether a real tree or a manufactured tree is ultimately better

for the environment. Some reports can be found at www.christmastree.org (the National

Christmas Tree Association) if you're interested in learning more.

We, on the other hand, stand solidly behind our Georgia growers and the time-honored

process of picking and choosing a live tree to take home for the holidays. Is that a tradition in your family? If not, you may want to give it a try this year.
You'll undoubtedly find yourself caught up in the magic of the journey to the lot, the thrill of the hunt for the perfect tree, and of course, the unmatchable pleasure of breathing in that fresh-cut tree aroma! Many of Georgia's tree farms also offer other Christmas temptations such as visits with Santa, holiday stores and home-made goodies that make nice gifts or indulgent snacks for the ride home.
A few facts you might not know about live Georgia-grown Christmas trees:
It takes 5-7 years for a tree to grow to cutting height.
The most chosen Christmas trees are Leyland, Carolina Sapphire and Blue Ice cypresses.
The average customer makes two cuts on their chosen tree before turning the task over to a pro at the farm!
Another plus for the live tree option is that the growing/harvesting process has a very low impact on the land. In addition, very few pesticides are used on the trees. Wilson of the Georgia Christmas Tree Association said we can expect prices on pick-and-cut trees this year to average $7-$8 a foot. And again, local farmers and local economies benefit when crops are good, and business is brisk.
One more thing: When you're ready to close down Christmas, your tree is fully recyclable. Many counties offer chip-to-mulch services. Mulch is routinely utilized in yards, on trails and in parks. People also tell us they sink trees in their ponds or lakes for fish habitat, and that deer enjoy snacking on them. A new meaning for "farm-to-table?"
-The Georgia Department of Agriculture and the Georgia Forestry Commission partner each year to publish a list of choose-and-cut Christmas tree farms in the Farmers and Consumers Market Bulletin. Look for that list in our Nov. 20 issue.

My Tractor Story: Nothing beats a rugged little one-lunger

By Charles Stone
Evans
We moved to Fairfield County near Newtown, Conn., in 1944, I think. I was about 13.
My folks bought a 9-acre farm which had a Shaw Du-All tractor, green in color with all the implements. I used it to plow a garden, pull 4-H members all over the place, cut hay and anything else needing a small tractor to pull.
We moved back south to Norcross, Georgia, in 1946 on a 47-acre farm. My folks had the tractor shipped by rail from Connecticut to Atlanta, then we pulled it the 20 miles out to our farm in Norcross with an old beat up 1936 Buick straight eight, which got eight miles to the gallon. That is another story. The trip took about three hours since we could only pull it six-to-eight-milesper-hour as the gears made a terrible racket as if they were going to tear apart. I rode the tractor and my Dad pulled it with the car.
I used it for all kinds of work as we were building a house and I had to haul dirt, cement blocks, lumber and other building materials.
The Farmall Cub came out about then. It had a four-cylinder engine. My

Shaw was a one-lunger. My little Shaw would outpull the Cub all day long. It was a fantastic, rugged little beast as I mistreated it pretty badly.
Wish I still had one.
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, email lee.lancaster@agr.georgia.gov, or come see us at the Georgia National Antique Agriculture Show in Perry Nov. 14-16.

Georgia Farm Bureau announces self-insured health plan for agricultural employers

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2019

MACON Georgia Farm Bureau will offer a new health insurance program for those underserved in the agriculture industry across the state through a partnership with insurance provider Anthem/Blue Cross Blue Shield.
The partnership grants a license to the Georgia Farm Bureau Member Health Program Trust to operate as a multiple employer self-insured health plan in Georgia. The health program is considered a multiple employer welfare agreement and is an innovative way to address the many challenges faced by Georgians regarding health care access and affordability, according to a GFB press release.
A MEWA is a way for small businesses to offer employee benefits when a group of employers combine their contributions in a self-contributing plan for the benefit of their employees.
Georgia Farm Bureau President Gerald Long said GFB members have longed asked for health insurance options.
"In 1959, Georgia Farm Bureau started an insurance company to meet the insurance needs of its members, particularly those living and working in rural Georgia," Long said in a statement. "Now, 60 years later, we are partnering with Anthem to continue the tradition of meeting the insurance needs of our members by provid-

ing a health insurance program that will reach all areas of Georgia, both rural and urban."
Gov. Brian Kemp joined officials with the Georgia Department of Insurance at the State Capital to announce the partnership between Anthem and Georgia Farm Bureau in September. He thanked the parties involved for bringing new access to healthcare coverage to Georgians.
"I certainly want to take this opportunity to thank the Georgia Farm Bureau and Anthem/Blue Cross Blue Shield for working together," Kemp said. "For partnering on this worthwhile endeavor and for listening to the needs of hardworking Georgians in every part of our state."
Georgia Farm Bureau will market the healthcare program toward small business employers who are either a sole proprietor or a group with at least two enrolled and no more than 50 eligible employees that fall within a broad range of agricultural industry SIC codes, according to the release. The only other requirement for an employee to participate is that he/she be or become a member of Georgia Farm Bureau.
To learn more about the Georgia Farm Bureau Member Health Program Trust, go to www.gfb.org or visit your local GFB county office.

Georgie's Drive Thru Oakfield
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our No. 1 industry, agriculture! When I was driving through Oakfield in Worth County the other day, I saw a historical marker about an event that took place more than 300 years ago. Between the time when Christopher Columbus proved that the Earth was round and our founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence, Spain and England fought over what is now South Georgia. The two empires' armies added to their numbers by allying themselves with two opposing Native American tribes, the Apalachees and Creeks. The Creeks were allied with England and camped out near the Flint River, a few miles north of present-day Albany. When a warning was received of an attack by the Apalachees one night, the Creeks decided to turn the ambush around on their attackers. They fixed their beds around several campfires to look like they were all asleep. When the Apalachees fired into the camp, they killed 500 blankets, but no people! Before they could reload, the Creeks came out of their hiding places in the woods and returned fire. The victory resulted in a Spanish retreat and it would forever be known as the Battle of the Blankets.

Stock Dogs: Trials allow trainers to test their skills against the best of the best

Continued From Page 1

must herd the sheep around obstacles and end with the gate closing on the sheep after they enter a pen. A perfect score is 100. Dog and handler are judged on execution of commands and precision to keep the sheep on course.
Brisbin explained breeds are different in personality and approach.
"Borders are sometimes called headers because they like to run to the front to control the stock," Brisbin said. "Aussies are healers because they tend to go to the back of the stock."
Variables in the trials can make or break a showing. Brisbin explained dog and handler must have a strong connection between them to gather the sheep and drive them through the course. During a few of the trials, dogs could be seen standing at attention, ears up, and looking back at their handlers waiting for the next command while the sheep wandered across the field.
The sheep also must be willing participants. In the case of one trial, the three sheep became skittish and headed straight

toward the holding corral behind the judge's stand. "Sometimes, you just have to let it go and move on to the
next event," Brisbin said. Alasdair MacRae has seen a lot of stock dogs in his life-
time. He is a 12-time U.S. National Sheep Dog champion and breeds Border Collies. He learned how to train stock dogs on his father's sheep farm in Lochailort, Scotland. As a teen, he worked dogs that were rejected by neighbors and was able to turn them into great herders.
At the Expo trials, MacRae said the stock dog trials in the Southeast are very different than in the western United States. He said part of the reason is the terrain, and part of the reason is the type of sheep.
"It's two extremes, really. The sheep are tough out there and aren't afraid of the dogs; and the fields are big, and there's not as much precision most of the time," he said. "Out there, it's like all the handlers are trying to beat the sheep. But here, all the sheep are similar, so the handlers are trying

to beat each other." In Great Britain, sheep farmers work with large herds, so
the skill level is very different for the dogs and their handlers. "When you're out in the middle of nowhere, there's no
fences, there's no corrals, there's no nothing. You have 10 sheep, and you can't take them all. You'll have to shed off the ones you want, and the dog has to know how to do that," McRae said. "Say some sheep are pregnant. You don't want to bring them all two, three miles back to the homestead because that's wasting your time and wasting their energy at a time where they don't need to do it."
McRae added that despite the regional differences, the goal for stock dog herding is the same: Finding out who is the best.
"It's a test to see how precise you can be and how well the dog is trained," he said.

Peanut Poll results are peachy
Voters at Georgia National Fair give new paper ballot system the thumbs-up

PERRY Voters in a straw poll conducted at the Georgia National Fair are feeling peachy about the new voting machines they used in the mock contest.
Peaches came out the winner in voting on the favorite Georgia-Grown food, followed by pecans, peanuts and blueberries. If nuts and berry supporters were dejected by the results, they could have found comfort in knowing the election was secure, according to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.
Raffensperger, Georgia's chief election official, noted that the new voting technology's paper ballots provide an audit trail to ensure election tallies are accurate in case the second-place candidate or crop requests a recount. Georgia conducts recounts when requested by candidates coming within 0.5 percent of the winner.
"Paper ballots are the secure way Georgia elections will be handled statewide, starting with next year's presidential preference primary," Raffensperger said. "From now on, no one will feel sour about the integrity of the results."
More than 3,700 ballots were cast by fairgoers who came by the Georgia Department of Agriculture's Georgia Grown Building, where the touchscreen voting was on display. Peaches topped the balloting for favorite Georgia-grown foods with 1,399 votes. Coming in second were pecans with 973 votes; peanuts with 703; and blueberries in

fourth place with 639. Peaches also racked up 514 votes as the
best ice cream flavor. The Secretary of State's Office annually
conducts straw polls at the 11-day fair on topics like foods, ice cream, fair foods and favorite professional teams. The first Peanut Poll was in 2015.
This year Raffensperger wanted to showcase the new voting system that will replace the machines Georgians have used since 2002.
A multi-agency committee evaluated proposals from national voting-system manufacturers with guidelines enacted into law by the General Assembly. In July, the state contracted with Dominion Voting Systems for touchscreen voting stations that print paper ballots.
As voters at the fair learned, they can check the printout for mistakes before casting their ballot. Reaction from those trying the machines was overwhelmingly positive.
"Try it out. It's really easy. Really, really easy. No confusion," fairgoer Rhonda Stone told 42NBC.
As a pilot, the new system is being used in an actual election for municipal contests in six counties: Bartow, Carroll, Catoosa, Decatur, Lowndes and Paulding. In a seventh county, Cobb, voters are using hand-marked ballots that will be counted by scanners that are part of the Dominion technology.
Early voting in those municipal elections

began Oct. 14. In the first five days in the pilot counties, 2,606 people cast ballots. Local officials say voters have been very supportive.
"Voter surveys are 95 percent positive," said Deb Cox, supervisor of elections in Lowndes County.
The experience is the same in the other pilot counties.

At Work With the GDA

Livestock and poultry inspectors work to ensure animal health

By Jay Jones

PERRY The public can see animals up close at sales, shows and markets, but livestock and poultry inspectors with the Georgia Department of Agriculture's Animal Industry Division look further to ensure animals are healthy and venues follow state and federal health regulations.
An inspector's primary duty at such events involves making sure health papers for each animal are in order, and livestock ear tags match documentation. The inspectors serve as the first line of defense at auction markets to ensure that unhealthy animals don't enter the food chain, or continue to move in commerce, said Courtney Wilson, Livestock and Poultry program manager.
At the hog show held last month at the Georgia National Fair one of the largest in the state eight inspectors were called in to work the event. The inspections went smoothly with more than 752 animals moving into the swine barns at the fairgrounds.
"Everyone knows why we're here and first and foremost, it's for the health of the animals," Wilson said.
She added that inspections at shows like the one at the fair are only a small part of the inspectors' responsibilities across Georgia.
Inspectors also regulate deer farming, disease surveillance, livestock truck wrecks, poultry pits, dead animal disposal, feral hog holding facilities, rendering plants and concentrated animal feeding operations. The inspectors also test and sample poultry, hogs, goats, sheep and cattle for diseases like scrapie in goats and sheep and avian influenza in poultry. They also gather data from livestock market auc-

tions and report that information to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Statewide, the GDA Livestock and Poultry program has 14 inspectors, three field supervisors and four part-time market news reporters. The inspectors work across the state, each in an assigned territory.
Jonathan Bryant has been a livestock and poultry inspector for six years. He said agriculture has always been a part of his life. He raised chickens and cattle and worked at an auction market before joining the GDA's Animal Industry Division.
"I just enjoy working with people and being around them and realize that my job is to work with people to keep everything going and keep the world fed," Bryant said.
Chelsey Daughtry and Chyanne Pope became inspectors after graduating from Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in 2017, both with degrees in diversified agriculture. They said internships at ABAC, and previous work experience helped them be prepared to work as inspectors.
Daughtry said she grew up on a farm and knew she wanted to work in agriculture at a young age.
"I love it. We're in the industry every day and around livestock, and that's something that you don't get to do in a typical job. We're outside and not behind a desk," she said.
Pope said she showed animals in high school, which sparked her interest in agriculture. She said working for the GDA offers an education unto itself.
"I like being outside and seeing all the different things you encounter as an inspector," she said.
The GDA is always looking for candidates for inspectors. The department looks for candidates with a background in agriculture and experience with animals or an educational

background in biology, public health, animal science or other related fields of study.

Tractor Supply's Fall Paper Clover campaign raises $967,681 for 4-H Youth Nationwide

NASHVILLE, TENN. Tractor Supply Company customers and team members raised $967,681 for the National 4-H Council during the 12-day Fall Paper Clover campaign. Combined with the proceeds of a similar fundraiser last spring, Tractor Supply is contributing more than $1.8 million to 4-H this year.
"The Paper Clover program gives 4-H youth the opportunity to learn and grow in subjects they are passionate about, and we are thrilled that our fall Paper Clover campaign allowed us to raise $967,681 to benefit our future leaders," said Phil Reiter, vice president of national and local marketing at Tractor Supply Company. "We are proud to work with cus-

tomers and team members who are dedicated to serving 4-H clubs."
The money raised goes to scholarship funding for numerous state-level 4-H programs, benefiting youth within the state it was collected. The camps and leadership experiences for scholarship recipients provide learning opportunities in animal care, woodworking, government and networking practices.
"We count on programs like Paper Clover to support the development of our students' skills and passions," said Jennifer Sirangelo, president and CEO of National 4-H Council. "Learn-by-doing programs help our youth become great

leaders in their communities and beyond, and we are incredibly grateful to Tractor Supply for helping us provide new opportunities to 4-H chapters across the country."
In the 10th year of partnership between Tractor Supply and National 4-H Council, the Paper Clover fundraiser has raised more than $14.1 million for 4-H students across the country thanks to the dedication and in-store involvement of Tractor Supply customers, team members and local 4-H groups. The 2020 Spring Paper Clover program will continue in March.

Practitioner Profiles:
Dr. Edmond "Tyson" Strickland
This is the third 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 yearlong service period is completed.
Dr. Edmond "Tyson" Strickland graduated from the inaugural class of participants in 2018.

Tyson Strickland, DVM Veterinarian Custom Livestock Solutions, Comer
Hometown: Perry School: University of Georgia
Question: What attracted you to become a large animal veterinarian? Answer: I've always had a love for agriculture and working with livestock. I started at UGA and the College of Agriculture with an animal science major, and this is something that I had always wanted to get into since middle school. The classes I had in animal science at UGA pointed me in the right direction. I had some great professors and they signed my ticket to work in this field.
Q: What excites you most about the future of large animal veterinary science? What I get excited about is my producers. I see their passion, and I see

them work hard every day to make what they do better. They are always striving to make their operations a safe food source. To me, it's a great opportunity to work with those producers.
Q: What advice would you offer to someone considering a career as a large animal veterinarian? Start as early as possible to build those relationships and take the time to work with producers and ranchers. That's the biggest key to success in moving forward in the food animal industry. We're all working toward common goals.

USDA announces 1890 National Scholars Program funding opportunity

WASHINGTON The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced the opening of the 2020 scholarship application cycle for the USDA/1890 National Scholars Program Oct. 29. The program aims to increase the number of students studying agriculture, food, natural resource sciences and other agriculture-related disciplines. The program is available through the USDA Office of Partnerships and Public Engagement.
The USDA/1890 National Scholars Program was established in 1992 as part of the partnership between the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the nineteen 1890 Land-Grant Universities. The program provides full tuition, fees, books, room and board to students pursuing degrees in agriculture, food, natural resource sciences or related academic disciplines. When the student has completed the academic and summer work requirements of the scholarship, USDA may convert the student to a permanent employee without further competition. Currently the USDA and 1890 Land-Grant Universities are providing scholarships to 109 students.
"The Scholars Program is an important way to collaborate with historically black land-grant universities and train the workforce for 21st century agriculture," said Mike Beatty, director of USDA's Office of Partnerships and Public Engagement.
This program is among several USDA efforts to build the capacity of Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Since the passage of the Second Morrill Act of 1890, USDA has supported scholarships, research, education, extension activities and grants for facilities and equipment at these institutions.
The USDA/1890 National Scholars Program is available to high school seniors entering their freshman year of college, and college sophomores. General requirements include U.S. citizenship, a GPA of 3.0 or higher, a score of 1080 or more on the SAT or 21 or more on the ACT, and acceptance to, or currently attending an 1890 University to study agriculture, food, and natural resources. The scholarship is renewable each year and is con-

tingent on satisfactory academic performance and normal progress toward the bachelor's degree. Additional requirements are listed in the application package.
All application materials must be postmarked by Friday, Jan. 31, 2020. Visit https://www.outreach. usda.gov/education/1890/ for more info and applications, or email 1890init@usda.gov.

April Floods: Global Growers is in the market for a new farm site in the metro area

irrigation being the most notable exception, Eittreim said.
The bamboo stand that gives the farm its name and serves as a riparian buffer with Snapfinger Creek provided both a sustainable cash crop bamboo shoots and the structural support for high tunnels, low tunnels and trellises.
Global Growers does not own the Bamboo Creek site, and that makes it difficult to justify the investment required to bring the site back into production, Chanin said. The topsoil was washed away and replaced by sand, and all the plants in the ground had to be tilled in.
"We had to wait a minimum of 60 days after the flood to be able to replant, so then you're looking at another 60 to 90 days past that when you'd even have your first crop," she said. "There was no market to get into at that point in the year and so much effort that goes into it that you weren't going to be able to recover your costs from doing it, so it just made for this economic equation that put us out for the whole year and then how do you put that much money into a property you don't have a long term interest in?"

While Eittreim works to close Bamboo area on which to site its replacement. ClarkCreek Farm, Chanin is looking for proper- ston in DeKalb County is the first stop for ty in the northeastern quadrant of the metro most refugees coming to Georgia, she said,

but as they seek more permanent housing, they move toward Snellville, Loganville, Stone Mountain and Tucker.
"We're going to try to follow that same pathway out," Chanin said.
The ideal location will be large enough to accommodate 10 more refugee farmers. Chanin is working to assemble the capital now, through fundraising and financing.
Kentucky-based Brown-Forman Corp., which owns the Jack Daniel's brand among others, is making a major donation to the organization's flood recovery effort through a fundraising campaign called "When It Rains, We Pour." Built around the company's newest brand, Slane Irish Whiskey, the fundraiser will generate $5,000 for Global Growers through the sale of Slane cocktails at 50 restaurants and bars in Atlanta.
Amber Aristy, Brown-Forman's Atlanta account manager for Slane, called the partnership "a no-brainer" due to similarities in the sustainable farming missions of Global Growers and the founders of Slane, who raise livestock and grow produce and barley on a 1,500-acre estate outside of Dublin, Ireland.
