Southeast Regional Fruit and Vegetable Conference draws 3,300 growers, 280 exhibitors

By Amy Carter amy.carter@agr.georgia.gov
SAVANNAH More than 3,000 fruit and vegetable growers and 280 exhibitors from throughout the Southeast as well as California, Michigan

and Pennsylvania attended the annual Southeast Regional Fruit and Vegetable Conference Jan. 10-13.
"This is a grower show," said Charles Hall, executive director of the Georgia Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association, which cohosts the show with the South Carolina Peach Council.
"Growers come to learn more from the education sessions, to learn more about their production practices and, from the trade show standpoint, to learn more about what new equipment, what new products, what new services would help them with fruit and vegetable production."

Amy Carter/GDA
Charles Hall, director of the Georgia Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association, with Georgia Watermelon Queen Savannah Hartley.

Big Business
The conference has proven so popular through the years that the association maintains a waiting list of vendors seeking space on the 85,000-square-foot exhibit floor at the Savannah International Trade and Convention Center on Hutchinson Island. Hall said 80 vendors were on the waiting list this year.
Among the companies exhibiting was Mattracks of Karlstad, Minnesota. The company offers rubber track systems to retrofit nearly every type of farm machinery, from tractors and sprayers to pick-up trucks of various sizes, ATVs/UTVs and blueberry and cotton pickers.
"We build for mud, sand, snow, rocky terrain," said Paul Brazier, who represented the company in Savannah.
The track system replaces conventional tires to give heavy machinery a bigger footprint that navigates rough terrain smoothly and causes less ground compaction.
On the business side of farming, Richard Bertrand with Harvest Scale Systems of Orlando offered growers a look at his company's harvest scale system, a self-contained unit mounted in a Pelican hard case that manages employee payroll and field traceability data such as palletization and field variety from the picking level to the packing house. The unit's scale weighs the fruit picked by each employee and credits them for payroll

Guest Column:
2019 legislative session promises positive change for rural Georgia

By David Bridges Interim Director, Georgia's Rural Center President, Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College

Aside from my parents, the single greatest influence on who I am and what I've been able to accomplish is this: I am from rural Georgia.
I realize that I am fortunate to have been brought up where and how I was brought up, and my roots are still firmly planted in the red dirt of Terrell County, just as they have been for the past six decades. That is why I consider it a tremendous honor and responsibility to lead the Center for Rural Prosperity and Innovation, or as our team calls it, Georgia's Rural Center. It is also the reason why I am reaching out to all rural Georgians to Photo courtesy Herb Pilcher join the center, rural legislators and me in making this a historic year for rural people and the places they call home. Hard work by Speaker Ralston, the Rural Development Council, the Georgia House of Representatives, the Georgia Senate and former Gov. Nathan Deal led to passage of HB951 during the last session. In addition to re-creating the Rural Development Council, the bill established Georgia's Rural Center and tasked it with facilitating innovation and economic development in rural Georgia. The center exists to reconnect rural and urban Georgia and reinvigorate once-vibrant places by re-creating proven, innovative business models and investing our state's most valuable resource human capital where it's needed most. As the 2019 legislative session began Jan. 14 in Atlanta, Gov. Brian Kemp and rural legislators pledged to work on behalf of rural Georgians. The staff of Georgia's Rural Center and I are ready to tackle the challenges that face the people of Georgia's small towns and rural communities. I urge you to join our team. If you've spent a lifetime in rural Georgia like me, you have undoubtedly noticed how the place you call home has changed over the past few decades. While I hope all Georgians share my pride in and appreciation of the economic upsurge our urban areas have enjoyed during this time, we are wise to recognize the geographical extent of that success. Outside the state's largest cities, the scene is a stark contrast. Georgia's rural areas are faced with challenges distinct from other regions of this state: population loss, inadequate access to health care, disintegrating infrastructure, diminished opportunity for quality education, scarcity of employment opportunities, overall absence of economic growth and, sometimes, lack of cultural amenities. Rural Center staff participated in all of the House Rural Development Council listening sessions across the state. We joined other rural leaders in sharing not just the challenges we see facing rural Georgia, but also potential solutions to those challenges. As a result of these gatherings, the HRDC drafted a set of recommendations that will guide their efforts during the 2019 legislative session. Released in mid-December, the recommendations focus primarily on economic development, rural infrastructure and health care needs and reflect some of the most pressing obstacles to rural prosperity and innovation. We anticipate that elected officials will work swiftly and precisely on the recommendations. Never in my recollection has there been such widely held support for rural people and places as there is in Georgia's Capitol right now from both political parties and a broad range of public officials. The time to make specific, meaningful and positive change for rural Georgia is now. I encourage you to play your part by reading the HRDC's legislative recommendations on our blog at www.ruralga.org/blog and keeping up with what is happening throughout the session on our Facebook page and blog. I urge you to contact your state representatives, Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan and Gov. Brian Kemp and share with them your thoughts on rural issues and the efforts being made by our elected officials. As a proud product of rural Georgia, I am certain that with the right approach, we will not only rediscover the power and potential of the state's less populated areas, but also redefine what it means to be rural in this state. It is time to reinvest in small towns and rural communities, and there's no better opportunity than while lawmakers are in Atlanta over the next few months. I hope you will join us in this vital work today.

Georgie's Drive thru Indian Springs
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state promoting our No. 1 industry agriculture! So much of what we do in agriculture depends on the weather, and more specifically on the arrival of spring. The other day I went to Dauset Trails Nature Center near Indian Springs to see someone who knows more than anybody about predicting spring's arrival: General Beauregard Lee, otherwise known as Georgia's Official Weather Prognosticator. Like his more famous cousin in Pennsylvania Punxsutawney Phil Beau draws lots of attention on Groundhog Day. The first official Groundhog Day was celebrated Feb. 2, 1887, at Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, Pa. The weather on the second day of February has historically been seen as a predictor of the remainder of winter. The story goes that a groundhog emerging from his home under a clear sky would see his shadow. That would spook the marmot back into his den, meaning six more weeks of winter. But a cloudy day would not cause a fright-inducing silhouette, indicating an early spring. Georgia's own "Beau" looks to improve his 94 percent success rate predicting the first day of spring at a ceremony beginning at 7:30 a.m. Feb. 2. He has been prognosticating for the past 40 years and moved to his new home at Dauset Trails last January.

Wood ash from winter fires can be added to garden soil in moderation

By Sharon Dowdy

Many Georgia families enjoy building roaring fires in their fireplaces or wood-burning stoves during the winter. Whether as a source of heat or for enjoyment, when the flames die down, a pile of wood ash remains.
University of Georgia Cooperative Extension agents get calls this time of year from gardeners asking if they can add wood ash to their garden plots. UGA Extension Consumer Vegetable Specialist Bob Westerfield says the answer is "yes, but in moderation."
"At the end of the day, ashes are a source of nutrients; primarily potassium or potash," he said. "You can add wood ash to your garden and get the soil to a level where it's good for your vegetables, but the problem is adding too much."
This potash is a stable nutrient, so it doesn't "go away quickly" from the soil once you add it, he said.
Adding wood ash to a garden plot also adds calcium and magnesium to the soil, similar to applying lime. Like lime, this will increase the pH level in your soil, Westerfield added.
"Again, once the pH hits a proper level and you have a slightly acidic soil, if you keep throwing ashes out there it's just going to skyrocket the pH. Your soil will end up going the other direction and become too basic," he said. "Your vegetable plants will start to yellow because the plants will no longer be able to absorb the nitrogen. They essentially begin to starve themselves to death."
Slightly acid soil at a pH level of 6.5-6.8 is perfect for most vegetables and ornamentals.
When too much wood ash is added to the soil, the pH will "jump up," nutrients can get out of balance and the roots can't absorb the nutrients.
To safely add wood ash to your home vegetable garden, Westerfield recommends adding no more than five pounds of wood ash per 1,000 square feet per year. To check the pH level, take a soil sample to your local UGA Extension office and have the soil tested every two years.
"The soil test will tell you the pH level and if you are at a level where you need to hold off on adding more wood ash," Westerfield said.
Wood ash should not be added to compost piles. "Compost needs an acidic environment. The wood ash may slow down the microbes," he said. "This is also why UGA Extension agents and specialists say not to add lime to your compost pile. You can add a little fertilizer, though."

UGA student-volunteers help rural Georgians file taxes, get bigger refunds

By Ellen Hallman for UGA CAES News
For more than a decade, the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program offered through the University of Georgia College of Family and Consumer Sciences Department of Financial Planning, Housing and Consumer Economics has offered free tax help to Georgians with low-to-moderate incomes, persons with disabilities, the elderly and limited-English-speaking taxpayers.
In 2017, with help from UGA Cooperative Extension, the program expanded to offer online services to reach eligible taxpayers in more rural areas of Georgia.
Joan Koonce, UGA Extension financial planning specialist, is looking forward to watching the program grow again this year after watching the progress of the online program with UGA Extension. The program began in 2017 with agents from southwest Georgia and now includes agents from all four districts.
"We only did it a few days each week for one month in the first year," Koonce said. "We saw what worked well and what didn't work well. Really, we had greater demand than we could actually keep up with."
To develop the online program, Koonce worked with Lance Palmer, financial planning professor and director of VITA for UGA, and Andrea Scarrow, director of UGA Extension's Southwest District, who was the district's FACS program development coordinator at that time.
"I wanted to expand as much as we possibly could to serve as many people as possible," said Koonce, adding that agents completed 115 tax returns in 2017. With the help of numer-

ous county Extension agents, taxpayers from every district in Georgia received assistance in 2018 and the service more than doubled the number of tax returns completed to 387.
Like last year, the service will be offered throughout the tax season, from Feb. 1 through April 12, when taxpayers from districts all over Georgia will be able to go to select county extension offices to meet with county agents who conduct a brief interview and gather the required documents. Afterward, the county agents return the required documents to Koonce using an encrypted email service and an email set up specifically for the program.
Students on UGA's Athens campus prepare the tax returns early each week, then hold virtual meetings with individual taxpayers later in the week to discuss the returns.
"The students are a big part of this," Koonce said. "It's a lot of work, but it is so rewarding."
The service benefits both Georgia taxpayers and UGA undergraduate and graduate students, who gain real-world training in addition to the course credit they earn for their participation.
"We have a lot of elderly people who are in the southwest and southeast districts who have retirement income and all kinds of tax-related things going on," Koonce said. "So, the students get to really learn about a variety of tax situations."
She estimates VITA saves each taxpayer served an average of $300. But perhaps the greatest return is captured in what Koonce says motivates her, and many others, to contribute their time and their efforts to this program.
"I enjoy helping people," she said.

The UGA Extension offices in the following counties participate in the Vita program: Appling, Bibb, Clayton, Crisp, Colquitt, Dougherty, Elbert, Lincoln, Morgan, Oconee, Quitman, Richmond, Spalding, Sumter, Tattnall, Tift, Washington and Wilkes. To find a participating UGA Extension office near you, call 1.800.ASK.UGA1 (1.800.275.8421).
The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program offered through the UGA College of Family and Consumer Sciences has expanded its free tax assistance program to include taxpayers in more rural areas of the state.

USDA reopens FSA offices for additional services during government shutdown

WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue announced Jan. 22 that all Farm Service Agency offices nationwide will reopen to serve farmers and ranchers during the lapse in federal funding. Certain FSA offices have been providing limited services for existing loans and tax documents since Jan. 17. Beginning Jan. 24, however, all FSA offices opened to offer a longer list of transactions.
Additionally, Perdue announced that the deadline to apply for the Market Facilitation Program, which aids farmers harmed by unjustified retaliatory tariffs, has been extended to Feb. 14. The original deadline was Jan. 15. Other program deadlines may also be modified.
"At President Trump's direction, we have been working to alleviate the effects of the lapse in federal funding as best we can, and we are happy to announce the reopening of FSA offices for certain services," Perdue said. "The FSA provides vital support for farmers and ranchers and they count on those services being available. We want to offer as much assistance as possible until the partial government shutdown is resolved."
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has temporarily recalled more than 9,700 FSA employees to keep offices open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays beginning Jan. 24. For the

first two full weeks under this operating plan (Jan. 28 through Feb. 1 and Feb. 4 through Feb. 8), FSA offices will be open Mondays through Fridays. In subsequent weeks, offices will be open three days a week on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays if needed to provide the additional administrative services.
FSA can provide these administrative services, which are critical for farmers and ranchers, because failure to perform these services would harm funded programs:
Market Facilitation Program. Marketing Assistance Loans. Release of collateral warehouse receipts. Direct and Guaranteed Farm Operating Loans, and
Emergency Loans. Service existing Conservation Reserve Program contracts. Sugar Price Support Loans. Dairy Margin Protection Program. Agricultural Risk Coverage and Price Loss Coverage. Livestock Forage Disaster. Emergency Assistance Livestock, Honey Bees, and
Farm-raised Fish Program. Livestock Indemnity Program.

Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program. Tree Assistance Program. Remaining Wildfires and Hurricanes Indemnity Program
payments for applications already processed.
Transactions that will not be available include, but are not limited to:
New Conservation Reserve Program contracts. New Direct and Guaranteed Farm Ownership Loans. Farm Storage Facility Loan Program. New or in-process Wildfires and Hurricanes Indemnity
Program applications. Emergency Conservation Program. Emergency Forest Rehabilitation Program. Biomass Crop Assistance Program. Grassroots Source Water Protection Program.
Updates to available services and offices will be made during the lapse in federal funding on the FSA shutdown webpage, www.fsa.usda.gov/help/shutdowninfo. Programs managed by FSA that were re-authorized by the 2018 farm bill will be available at a date yet to be determined.

UGA Ag Forecast Series helps farmers plan for a fresh start in 2019

By Amy Carter amy.carter@agr.georgia.gov
MACON With the wounds from Hurricane Michael still fresh and growers' hopes for immediate federal assistance dashed by a partial government shutdown, the University of Georgia is helping farmers plan for another go at it in the new year with its annual Ag Forecast series. The first meeting in the series was held Jan. 22 at the headquarters of the Georgia Farm Bureau.
"We would not be farming if we were not optimists," said Georgia Farm Bureau President Gerald Long. "This coming year is going to be, how can I put it, an exciting, concerning, challenging year. But we as farmers, as an agriculture industry, we will survive it."
Farm Bureau is expecting storm-related insurance claims to total as much as $160 million. Multiple commodities experienced catastrophic losses valued at $2.5 billion.
Widespread rain in the months since the storm further dam-

aged crops statewide. Cotton farmers have been trying since October to harvest the remnants of what promised to be a historic crop.
"I've never picked cotton in the first of another year," Long said.
Long said a neighbor in Bainbridge recently gave up trying to harvest his crop and mowed under 1,200 acres of cotton.
The ongoing government shutdown and international trade disputes made it difficult to deliver predictions for Georgia agriculture market conditions in the coming year. Additionally, provisions of the 2018 Farm Bill won't figure into those predictions until the U.S. Department of Agriculture drafts new rules and regulations implementing the new policies, said Adam Rabinowitz, assistant professor in UGA's Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics.
Long and Sam Pardue, dean of the UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, said many growers are eager to see Georgia develop a plan for growing industrial hemp as allowed by the Farm Bill. The bill authorizes state

departments of agriculture to consult with their governors and chief law enforcement officers to develop a program to license and regulate industrial hemp with a THC content of 0.3 percent or less. THC is the primary intoxicant in marijuana.
At a recent meeting of the American Farm Bureau Federation in New Orleans, an educational session on hemp drew a standing-room-only crowd, Long said.
"That tells you everyone, every farmer, is looking for something, trying to figure out some way to survive this dilemma that we're in," he said.
Pardue said UGA wants to assist Georgia in developing its own hemp program but warned that it is a volatile crop.
"Colorado State said there is potential for hemp but there's also considerable risk associated with industrial hemp production because there's going to be volatility in price, yield and regulatory environment," he said.
Pardue said the state of Kentucky, which is currently piloting a hemp research program, has reported losses of $1,500 per acre and profits of $2,700 per acre.
