"I've never owned a tractor. I don't know a whole lot about them, but boy have I learned a lot this weekend, and that's the point of the show, for people to come who've never seen what it took for agriculture in the past to happen." A peanut thrashing and hay baling demonstration utilized machinery made in the 1930s and '40s to bring in Georgia's top crop, while the Georgia Museum of Agriculture at Abraham Melody Jarmey of Carlinville, Ill., rode her John Deere 930 VU, imported from Spain, in the antique tractor parade.

See AG SHOW, page 13 GDA is accepting applications for Veterinary Loan Repayment Program Deadline to apply is Dec. 15 Please deliver this paid subscription to: Published by the Ga. Department of Agriculture Gary W. Black, Commissioner By Jay Jones jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov Veterinarians willing to treat livestock in under-served areas of Georgia are encouraged to apply for the Georgia Veterinary Education Loan Repayment Program, which offers payments of $20,000 toward the outstanding student loan debt of those selected. State Veterinarian Robert Cobb explained the idea for a loan repayment program originated with State Rep. Gene Maddox, R-Cairo, a retired veterinarian who saw a great need for food animal veterinarians in rural Georgia. The Georgia General Assembly established the GVELRP in 2016 and funds it annually at $100,000 for five recipients each year. Cobb said the program had gone a long way in helping communities get access to veterinarian care when they need it. For recipients, the program lessens the burden of repaying student debt and provides a chance to work with people who need their services the most. "It helps veterinarians who want to get into a rural environment get there," he said. "Once they get there and establish themselves, then perhaps they will be able to stay." The program is administered by the State Veterinary Education Board through a partnership with the Georgia Student Finance Authority and administrative support from the Georgia Department of Agriculture. Applicants must devote at least 20 hours a week to providing food animal veterinary services in a rural Georgia county with a population of 35,000 or less for a year before receiving their payment. Georgia has 109 counties that meet the population requirement based on the 2010 U.S. Census. Participants will sign a service commitment with the veterinary board requiring them to meet their service obligation in the rural counties identified in their applications. The student finance authority then provides reimbursement to the recipient's loan carrier. Eleven candidates are currently enrolled in the program with their service ending in May 2020. The Georgia General Assembly approved $100,000 for FY 2020 for five new awards. A call for applications was opened earlier this year. Program administrators reopened the application process through Dec. 15. Applicants must be U.S. citizens and Georgia residents. Eligible candidates may either be practicing veterinarians or vet students in their final year of school. The GDA is coordinating the application process and will accept applications until 5 p.m. Dec. 15. To apply and to view a map of counties applicants may serve, go to http://agr.georgia.gov/georgia-veterinary-education-loan-repayment-program.aspx.

Guest Column: Millennial involvement could stem the tide of black land loss Editor's Note: As the Federation of Southern Cooperatives/Land Assistance Fund kicks off its National Heirs Property Conference in Atlanta Dec. 4-6, we wanted to share a young adult's perspective on the issue with you in this Guest Column reprinted from the Federation's fall newsletter. By Briar Blakley On a crisp fall November evening, at the age of 23, my family was gearing up for the Thanksgiving holiday. My mom was preparing and sampling her famous pecan pie as she made a call to her brother. While assisting my mom and listening to the sounds of holiday chatter throughout the house I was able to hear my uncle say through the phone, "What'd the timber guys say?" I couldn't understand the reason for such a question; was my family interested in purchasing timber? Were they considering starting a timber company? As the conversation continued, my curiosity grew until finally I heard my mom say, "It's done and I'll call you and let you know when they'll start cutting." The call ended but my curiosity continued to grow. I fi- nally asked her what the conversation meant, hoping not to overstep a boundary that could be interpreted as being disrespectful. The answer was shocking, inspirational and educational. At the same time, my consciousness was raised far beyond that associated with most millennials today such as pursuing fame and fortune. My mother's willingness to openly discuss land-related business with me made me realize the need for elders to include the next generation in conversations around land after all, it is they who could be the heirs to this valuable resource. Since that eye-opening conversation with my mom, there appears to be a growing trend of millennials becoming interested in all aspects of agriculture, especially sustainable farming but also land-based community economic development with a focus on all things "green." This trend is driven in part by the need to know the source of their food and to have a choice of what kind of food they will eat. Monica Rainge, director of land retention and advocacy for The Federation of Southern Cooperatives, contends that "millennials have become one of the fastest-growing groups of new landowners and farmers." Because so many millennials could eventually own their family farms and land, intergenerational conversations on succession planning and other land retention tools are paramount and could ensure the transference of this wealth-gen- erating asset for generations to come. The federation authored a research study that found that African Americans owned 15 million acres of land in 1910. Today, that number has dwindled to less than 3 million acres. According to Rainge, one of the primary reasons for the drastic decline in black land ownership is heirs property. Heirs property is the result of a landowner dying without a will or other form of estate planning. Heirs are left without clear title and the land is susceptible to tax or partition sales, among other barriers. A recent report from PewSocialTrends.org showed that in the United States today, 76 percent of African Americans do not have a will. Consequently, their land will likely become heirs property. The question becomes, how can the conversation on black land ownership and retention and wealth-building amongst black families help millennials protect this transformative asset for themselves as well as future generations? An article titled "Progressive Governance Can Turn the Tide for Black Farmers" by AmericanPress.org stated, that "black households hold about 10 percent of the wealth of white households." This is due primarily to a lack of resources. Land ownership and sustainable development can go a long way toward closing the racial wealth gap. Therefore, the conversation with millennials about land ownership needs to be centered on economics as well as history and culture. Cook Georgia Grown: Peanut Hummus Georgia Grown Chef Julio Delgado developed this recipe for the Georgia Grown Event Stage at the 2019 Georgia National Fair. Ingredients: 2 cups Georgia peanuts 2 Tbsps. olive oil, or Oliver Farms Green Peanut Oil 1 med. Vidalia onion, chopped 1 bay leaf 6 sprigs fresh thyme 1 sprig fresh rosemary 4 Tbsps. lemon juice 1 tsp. cayenne pepper 2 cups water cup olive oil or Oliver Farms Green Peanut Oil cup Oliver Farms Infused Peanut Oil or olive oil, plus more for serving 2 watermelon radishes or 6 med. red radishes, thinly sliced 2 green onions, thinly sliced Directions: On a baking pan, drizzle peanuts with oil and roast in oven at 300 degrees until golden brown. In a medium pan, sweat the onions with the olive oil and herbs until the onions are soft and translucent. Add roasted peanuts and water to the pan and simmer for about 30 minutes or until the peanuts are soft. Remove herbs and bay leaf. Place the peanut-onionwater mix into the pitcher of a high-speed blender. Begin blending on medium speed, then gradually add the oils with the blender running. Continue to blend until smooth. Season the mix with lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a container and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Before serving, slice the radishes. Garnish hummus with green onion and a generous drizzle of olive or infused peanut oil. Serve hummus with radishes on the side for dipping.

I travel the state of Georgia promoting our No. 1 industry, agriculture! As my children are already counting down the days till Christmas, I'm reminded that a special Middle Georgia tradition is right around the corner at the Historic Richland Church in Twiggs County. Just a couple of miles through the woods from the geographic center of the state, Richland Church has been a Middle Georgia landmark since its founding in 1811 near one of the old woodland trails leading from Savannah to Macon. The church held regular services for 100 years until 1911. To preserve this beautiful, historic place, the Richland Restoration League was chartered in 1948. For the last 60 years or so, they've held an old timey homecoming service on the church grounds in October. Then, a few years ago, the League began presenting a special performance at Christmas reenacting the celebrations held during the Civil War period, complete with soldiers, Santa Claus and cannon fire! The program features songs and clothing from the period and no central heat. Two performances of "Keeping Christmas At Richland Church" will be on Friday, Dec. 6 and Saturday, Dec. 7, at 7 p.m. My Tractor Story: ISO of one particular John Deere Model A By Kenneth Caldwell Zebulon My family farmed with a John Deere Model A, serial number 689311. We no longer have the tractor. It was sold a few years ago and I do not know who has it now. My granddad bought a John Deere Model B in 1949 for $2,200 and then traded in on the Model A in 1951. The tractor was used on the farm to pull a harrow, grain drill, mowing machine and a combine. It was used to plow the ground, cut the hay and wheat. I can remember riding on the old combine with my brother while my dad drove the John Deere Model A. We were just kids but that was the last time the combine was ever used. I drove the tractor several times after it retired. There is nothing like the sound of one of those old John Deere tractors. I would like to know who has the tractor now, so if you have Model A, serial number 689311, call me at 770.584.4447. -Editor's Note: The John Deere Model A was the company's first true row-crop tractor, placed into production in April 1934. According to TractorData.com, 300,000 were built. (Lee Lancaster/GDA) Do you have a tractor story to tell? We'd love to share it with our readers.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2019 FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN 404-656-3722 agr.georgia.gov PAGE 13 Beer brewers' waste gains farmers' attention as livestock feed By Jay Jones jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov and Keegan Perkins GDA Intern The cattle on Presley's Farm in Maysville are partial to porters and stouts. No, they are not giving beer to cows, but are using brewer's spent grain to feed their herd. Lamar Presley said the brewery where he gets the spent grain makes different beers, and he noticed that his cows like the darker grains more. Though the grains are mixed up, he explains how the cows react as he fills up feeding barrels in the pasture. "The dark beer seems to have a whole lot more sugar to it. It's a lot sweeter," he said. "I would go down through there and drop a barrel here and drop a barrel there. You will have cows come up and smell the barrels. Then, they would follow me with the trailer until I get to the last one with the dark grains." Breweries utilize grain to craft beer. After production, breweries must decide what to do with the resulting by-product often referred to as "brewer's grain" or "brewer's spent grain." The resulting by-product of crafting beer generally has no use to the brewery itself. That leaves brewers looking for ways to haul it off. The problem of spent grain disposal is growing. Eightytwo craft breweries are operating in Georgia, which is up from 62 breweries in 2017. Last year, the industry in Georgia brewed 449,485 barrels of beer, according to the Brewers Association for Small and Independent Craft Beer Makers. The spent grain could go into a landfill, which involves hiring someone to haul it off. The other option for some breweries is to find farmers to take it as feed for their animals. Presley operates Presley Farm and Garden with his brothers Richard and Larry. They produce beef, pork and seasonal vegetables. They also grow corn and wheat to save on animal feed. The spent grains help supplement what they grow on their own. Presley Farm gets its spent grains without cost from Good Word Brewing, a microbrewery and restaurant in Duluth. Good Word Owner and Brewer Todd DiMatteo said they needed help disposing of the spent grain, and the arrangement with Presley Farm works well. "Working with Lamar is very easy," DiMatteo said. "I just give him a call and let him know when I have at least Lamar Presley feeds cattle with brewer's spent grain at the farm he operates with his brothers in Maysville. Presley began hauling the spent grain from Good Word Brewing in Duluth four years ago and mixes it with ground corn and wheat they grow on the farm. (Jay Jones/GDA) six or seven of the 55-gallon drums filled, and he brings his trailer and takes them off and leaves me with empty barrels for future brews. We have purchased processed pigs from him on occasion, as well." Presley said the relationship has also been good for him. Presley noted that along with purchasing meat, Good Word promotes Presley Farm products with signage in their dining area. That has resulted in more sales at local farmers markets that Presley attends. "I'm helping Todd out, and he's sending me business, so we're helping each other out," Presley said. "It's not something that he can dump in a dumpster where he is. Todd's been good to me, and I like to be good to Todd." However, there are drawbacks to using spent grains. The grain is suitable for cattle, hogs and chickens, but it is wet and perishable. Larger breweries create so much spent grain; they find it challenging to work with individual farmers. SweetWater Brewing Company in Atlanta is the largest craft brewery in Georgia based on beer sales volume. Nick Nock, head brewer at SweetWater, said their production generates about 9,500 tons of spent grain annually. They contract with Commodity Specialists, a third-party company that transports brewer's spent grain to agricultural producers. "When we first moved here, we dealt with individual farmers living in Douglasville...but there'd be times where they'd have a flat tire or something, and all of a sudden, we got no place for our grains. That was a big issue," said Nock. SweetWater has since built silos that can hold over 50,000 pounds of spent grain. That abundant and steady supply from SweetWater and large breweries like Budweiser in Cartersville has helped Commodity Specialists create a market for spent grain, also called wet feed. Tom Wilkinson, executive vice president of brewers grains for the Commodity Specialists, explained the spent grain is high in crude protein, which is a draw for dairy producers. His company markets the spent grain as a quality feed to dairy cows. "It's a win-win," Wilkinson said. "The breweries are actually getting paid for the by-product. It's a product they obviously have to do something with, so it's a profit center for them...the mega breweries have paved the way for that to be a good market for the craft breweries as well." But small brewers cannot generate the amount of spent grain to make it logistically feasible to sell to farmers, so they end up giving it away to anyone willing to take it. Jailhouse Brewing in Hampton works with two farmers to use spent grain, free of charge. Pretoria Fields in Albany also distributes spent grain for free to several farms in Southwest Georgia to feed dairy cows, cattle and hogs. Presley said he appreciates arrangement with Good Word Brewing, but business may be too good. Spent grain volume has doubled to 12-16 barrels per weekly trip to Good Word. With each barrel weighing about 250 lbs., Presley said he requires a second man usually his nephew to come with him to Duluth to help load the barrels. "It's really time-consuming," he said. "I don't want to be negative about the situation, but when you get that many barrels where you're just not taking them out and dumping them on the ground, you're talking two people. You can almost buy feed for the time I drive. Also, if the brewery were closer to me, it would be more economical."

Made by the Fate-Root-Heath Co. from 1933 to 1950, Silver Kings initially carried the Plymouth name until the Chrysler Corp. sued and forced a name change. More than just pretty distractions, many of the machines on display had stories that intertwined with historical events current to the time of their manufacture. For that reason, many collectors identify as preservationists rather than restorers. David Hering's 1947 Empire is a direct descendant of the Marshall Plan, a $12 billion program enacted by the United States after World War II to help rebuild Western European economies. Built in Philadelphia by a former armaments manufacturer, the tractor was assembled with surplus military equipment for the export market. Later models were fitted with the same Willys-Overland engine used in the first civilian Jeep vehicle, the CJ-2. The first 50 Empires built went to South Africa, but Argentina was the company's biggest buyer, Hering said. More than 4,000 were sold to the country before the contract was cancelled. "We think that was probably due to the fact that Argentina and the U.S. government, after the war, didn't get along too well because a lot of the German Nazis were going down there for haven," Hering said. A retired Marine who lives in Cassville, Hering first learned of the Empire in 1987 from a collector at the Sunbelt Agricultural Expo in Moultrie. He and his brother have since traveled the world in search of Empires. They founded an Empire Tractor Club, host annual shows and send an email newsletter to enthusiasts in the U.S., Canada, South Africa, Argentina and Greece. Melody Jarmey of Carlinville, Ill., has a similar international connection with the John Deere 930 VU. There are three in the United States, and Jarmey and her partner, Bill Miller, own two. The tractor was made in Spain and built to narrower specs so it would fit between the rows in a vineyard. "Anything oddball we like to buy and restore," she said. "We travel around the U.S. and do shows." They grow corn and soybeans between traveling for shows and host their own show in Carlinville every other year. Jarmey is an active participant in the couple's farming operation as well as the tractor acquisition and restoration process. "I tear them down, I restore, I do the body work, I do everything. From something that is total junk to restore it to brand new, it's just like, `Wow, I did this!' It makes you feel good that you brought something back to new again and to running again that was in a boneyard," she said. "We've had some that had bird's nests and wasp's nests in them, and we brought them back to new. People go, `Wow, look at that,' and they're amazed at what they see, and it Freddie and Tricia Neely drive their 1938 Graham-Bradley 503.103.

It's history brought back to life, and it makes you feel really good." It made Kenny Crumley of Walnut Grove the center of attention when he fired up the two-cylinder engine on his 1932 John Deere GP and drove the tractor out of the Georgia Grown Building as the show closed. Like the group of young boys who were so taken by that sound they followed it right out of the building, Crumley said the distinct popping sound of his neighbor's John Deere two-cylinder made an impression on him as a child. It was what he sought out first when he began collecting tractors as an adult. "Since then, it's just been green," he said. "It's just like buying automobiles, trucks and ice cream. There are many different flavors."

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2019 FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN 404-656-3722 agr.georgia.gov Georgia students recognized at FFA national convention PAGE 15 By Jay Jones jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov FFA members represented Georgia in winning fashion with top honors for 16 events and awards, including the Outstanding Middle School chapter, during the 92nd National FFA Convention in Indianapolis. More than 69,000 FFA members from across the United States attended the convention in late fall. Members competed with their peers in seven national categories including one designated as an American Star in Agriscience, two Career Development Event winners, five national proficiency award winners and seven national Agriscience Fair winners. Among Georgia's winners was Commerce Middle School's FFA Chapter which was recognized as the nation's Outstanding Middle School chapter. The chapter was recognized in its first year of existence won on several activities and community building projects. The students organized a "Eat, Meet and Greet" event to recruit new members and connect with parents that drew over 100 people. They also held a series of workshops each week where students learned different skills and found ways to use those skills in the community. One of those workshops resulted in the chapter's Pillowcase Project where they made pillowcases for Peace Place, a local women's shelter. During the convention, judges selected the CMS Pillowcase Project as one of the top 10 Building Communities projects in the nation. April Davis, Commerce Middle School agriculture teacher and the FFA chapter advisor, said the chapter has about 100 members and they take their work seriously in choosing what activities to do and learning new skills. "We get a lot of student input because it's their organization and it's student led," Davis said. "The cool part about this is that they come up with the ideas, and we bring in people to help them. " Ben Lastly, executive secretary of the Georgia FFA Association, said Georgians can be proud of the FFA members' perfor- National FFA Advisor Steve Brown congratulates Katey Maxwell, Ivy Tolbert and Dalty Friedman, members of Commerce Middle School FFA, and their teacher advisor, April Davis, as their chapter was named National FFA Middle School Model of Excellence during the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis.

He added that regardless of outcome, the experience in FFA builds character. "For many of those students the chance to compete on the national level is the result of years of hard work and setting a goal, and maybe falling down, getting back up and regrouping to learn something new," Lastly said. "When I watched what happened at national convention, I see that commitment and determination for success from our students in middle school and high school but also from our teachers who guide them." The Georgia winners from the convention are as follows: Courtney Cameron (Lowndes County FFA) was named the 2019 American Star in Agriscience based on her plant-based research that focused on the tobacco mosaic virus and its impact on various vegetables. She now attends the University of Georgia where she studies agriscience. Career Development Events and Leadership Development Events are team and individual competitive events designed to test student's technical knowledge and ability in a variety of agricultural and leadership areas. Georgia's 2019 national CDE team champions are Cambridge FFA of Milton in Agricultural Communications and Pelham FFA in Floriculture. Cambridge competed against 34 other teams in its category while Pelham competed against 44 other teams to win top honors. Five Georgia FFA members were each named national FFA proficiency award winners for their Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) programs: Chloe Lynch (Island FFA, Savannah) in Agricultural Education; Jessica Brogdon (Walnut Grove FFA) in Agricultural Sales; Duncan Patton (Madison County FFA) in Beef Production; Dawson Peek (Lowndes County FFA) in Outdoor Recreation; and Dylan Dent (Wayne County FFA) in Poultry Production. Georgia was third in the nation with 21 national proficiency award finalists and second in the nation with five proficiency winners. Georgia FFA's seven winners in the national Agriscience Fair included: Johnathan Rivers and Rylen Mercer (Lowndes Middle FFA) in Food Products & Processing; Bethany Champion (Sonoraville FFA) in Food Products & Processing; Joseph Corbett and Cayden Mathews (Lowndes County FFA) in Plant Systems; Marin Lonnee (Oconee County FFA) in Plant Systems; Alexis Herring and Madison McDonald (Lowndes County FFA) in Power, Structure & Technology; Gracie Sutton and Jordan Brown (Lowndes County Middle FFA) in Social Systems; and Kaleb Bell (Berrien County FFA) in Social Systems. Georgia had a total of 32 national Agriscience Fair finalists who interviewed in Indianapolis. The Georgia FFA Association was also recognized as a membership growth state, marking the 21st consecutive year that the state increased in FFA membership. Georgia sent 25 official voting delegates to the convention and more than 1,500 local FFA members and advisors this year.

Ammons, Biology Major, Senior, Mercer University David H. Posas, Biology Major, Senior, Mercer University Adam Kiefer, Distinguished Professor, Department of Chemistry, College of Liberal Arts, Mercer University and Brad Lian, Associate Professor, Department of Community Medicine, School of Medicine, Mercer University Lead and lead-based chemicals are toxic, and no amount of lead exposure is safe. It can affect the nervous system, cause brain damage, stunt growth and development, affect hearing and speech, and even cause anemia. Children are most vulnerable to the effects of lead because of their size, and so lead has a relatively larger impact on their bodies and their biological development (heart, lungs, kidneys, brain and nervous, immune, circulatory, muscular and other bodily systems). The good news is that we have largely stamped out the use of lead in consumer products, particularly in batteries, gasoline, paint (since 1978), and plumbing applications. As a result, the number of cases of lead poisoning in the U.S. has decreased. The bad news is that many lead-based products or products that can lead to lead-related issues are still in circulation and rates of lead-poisoning are still unacceptably high. The cities of Newark, NJ, and Flint, Mich., for instance, have recently made headlines for having lead leached from water pipes con- taminate their drinking water, affecting the lives of tens of thousands of residents in those cities. Older houses often have lead-based paints that flake and chip over time. Some of the toys children play with and that often end up in their mouths because of their "sweet" taste still contain lead. Lead poisoning is a significant issue in many parts of rural Georgia. Indeed, a 2016 study in Ben Hill County found elevated blood lead levels in nearly 10 percent of children ages 6 and under. How can this be? As mentioned, old paints, toys and contamination from playground or other outdoor equipment and in the soil or brought in from pets are primary culprits that everyone should be aware of and try to address in some fashion. But there are other culprits we need to be mindful of as well that may be responsible for elevated blood-lead levels. Unfortunately, some of the hazards are related to hunting and fishing, activities many of us enjoy immensely. Let's think about our ammunition. Reloading ammunition, and even casting your own bullets, is a great way to save money and increase your accuracy in the field. But these processes can release lead into your work area. During the casting process, lead is given off to the air and can be inhaled, while invisible particles can settle in the room in which you are working. While it may not be high enough levels, please remember that children are more sensitive to the effects of lead. Recently there were three cases reported in Alabama where kids became very sick from ingesting lead pellets. One twoyear-old child had dangerous levels of lead in her bloodstream only six hours after ingesting some lead buckshot her father left unattended on the floor. Remarkably, the girl did not show any symptoms of poi- soning, and her parents brought her to the hospital because they recognized the potential harm. The same risk is involved when handling any lead-based fishing sinkers. A recent study demonstrated that even holding lead sinkers and then placing your hands in your mouth could lead to lead exposure. Any time your hands contact lead, you put yourself at risk of accidentally ingesting the harmful chemical. While both hunting and fishing activities will be enjoyed for generations to come, it is important that we are aware of any potential health risks that are involved and find the best methods to minimize or eliminate them. In recent years, there have been concerted efforts to prevent lead poisoning in rural areas. Education and awareness campaigns are major components of these efforts. Symptoms of lead poisoning can't be ignored because of inconveniences associated with traveling to a doctor or health clinic or because of tough-guy attitudes that the health issues will simply end up going away. They won't go away and may likely get worse. So, we need to recognize, appreciate, and act on that, the sooner the better. As the old saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Education is key! Awareness of safe handling of lead and preventing the most common types of exposure is essential. As important is knowing where to seek treatment quickly in worst-case scenarios. We can all do our part to reduce lead poisoning threats in our local environments.

"You had to have five buckets of pa- tience sitting next to you because some- thing was always breaking," said Halford, who led the demo using equipment owned by Sonny Stapleton of Webster County. Halford, about 30 years Stapleton's ju- nior, pulled peanut wagons in Early Coun- ty as a child and learned the old-fashioned practice of thrashing from Stapleton as an adult. "My daddy picked peanuts like that un- til 1955. That was the last year and then we went to the combines. Less labor," Staple- ton said.

I wanted it because Philip Gentry, agricultural/youth livestock director at the GNFA. my daddy had one like it," he said. Stapleton staged three or four demonstrations at his own farm with the thrasher and a hay press built in the same era. The thrasher separated peanuts from vines, and then the vines were fed to the press and baled for use as livestock hay. The hay press could be self-powered or connected to an external power source via a flat belt, which came in handy in Perry when water choked the baler's engine. Five demos in all drew audiences filled with young people, adults with no farming experience and seasoned growers. During the final demo on the last day of the show, Philip Gentry, agricultural/youth livestock director at the fairgrounds, made note of four children perched on the guard rail surrounding the demo area, taking a close look at the machines at work. "If we don't get the youth back involved and interested in this then some of this will go away," Gentry said. "We don't need to ever forget how hard some of this was, so we don't forget to keep innovating and keep getting smarter and better and introducing new people to this." Peanuts for the demo were dug in early October and stacked to dry around poles set in wooden pallets for transport from the field to the fairgrounds. In the early 20th century, the poles were set in the ground.
