The questionnaire will be available in 12 non-English languages. National Census Day is April 1, 2020.

Fowler Vision is extremely important for our everyday lives. When you look at an object, light reflected from the object enters the eye through the pupil and is focused on an area at the back of the eye called the retina. The retina is responsible for converting the image into electrical signals that the brain can understand, and then transmitting those signals back to the brain. The retina is essential for vision, and without a healthy retina our sight cannot be improved even with glasses. Diabetes is a lifelong disease that affects many organs throughout the body. In the eyes, diabetes damages small blood vessels in the retina leading to areas of oxygen deprivation. Without sufficient oxygen, sensitive cells in the retina are not able to survive. Eventually these damaged cells release signals to the body that more blood flow is needed, which results in growth of new but abnormal blood vessels. These fragile vessels grow in a disorganized manner and are prone to leakage, leading to swelling and irreversible damage in the retina. Diabetic eye disease is common, and it is estimated that more than one-third of diabetic patients develop eye manifestations. Patients usually do not notice the slow progression of vision loss until the damage is permanent, so it is extremely important to have regular dilated eye exams with your ophthalmologist. Symptoms that may occur in late stages of diabetic eye disease include blurry vision that is not improved with glasses, visual distortions, a dark area in part of the vision, a sudden increase in floaters, and even blindness. Your eye doctor will dilate your pupil to look for damage in the back of the eye and may want to take pictures of the retina to look for swelling. Another common test involves injecting dye into a vein in the arm and then taking pictures of the back of the eye to see if there is leakage from the vessels. Both tests allow the eye doctor to look for swelling, leakage, bleeding or other damage in the back of the eye. If possible, make sure to bring a list of your recent blood sugar measurements, the medications you are taking, your last hemoglobin A1C measurement, and any questions you have for your doctor. Be honest with your doctor about your blood sugar control so that they can work with you to develop a personalized plan. Depending on the stage of disease, your doctor may recom- mend various treatments. In some cases, the damage can be slowed with better control of blood sugar and blood pressure. If the disease has progressed, they may recommend shots into the eye of a medicine that inhibits the signal for blood vessel growth. Other patients may need laser treatment to prevent the damaged areas from recruiting new vessels, or even surgery to prevent the jelly in the eye from pulling on the fragile retina. If you have already had permanent vision loss, your ophthalmologist may be able to refer you to a low vision center, where professionals can assess your home and activities to improve your function as much as possible. Your sight is important. If you have diabetes, talk to your eye doctor about ways to reduce your risk of diabetic eye disease. Make sure to follow their screening recommendations and to control your blood sugars as well as possible. Diabetic eye disease is extremely common, but with good glucose control and regular eye exams many people with diabetes never lose vision. -Teresa Fowler is a fourth-year medical student at Mercer University School of Medicine. She is interested in Ophthal- mology and hopes to practice in Georgia when she completes her medical training. Cook Georgia Grown: Baker Farms Greens and Cornbread Sliders Georgia Grown Chef Todd White, head chef and chair of Albany Technical College's Culinary Arts Program, developed this recipe for the Georgia Grown Event Stage at the 2019 Georgia National Fair in Perry. Collard Mix Ingredients: 32-oz bag Baker Farms Shredded Collard Greens 1 lg onion, small diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 cup Ricotta cheese cup cream cheese cup parmesan cheese 4 eggs Salt and pepper to taste cup oil Directions for collard mix: Saut collards, onion and garlic in 2 Tbsp oil for 5 minutes in a large pan on high heat, in batches if necessary. Remove from pan, after sauting, remove large stems, and place into a strainer to press out as much liquid as possible. Put into a large bowl. Add the ricotta, cream cheese, and parmesan, mix and allow to cool for a few minutes. Next, add salt and pepper to taste and then incorporate eggs one at a time. Heat pan to medium heat and then add remaining oil. Scoop cup portions of the mix and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side. Add to cornbread as a slider with bacon or sausage and hot sauce, if desired. Serve. Toppings: lb Carroll's Smoked Sausage, sliced thin and crisped in a pan, or cooked bacon, cut into 3-in pcs Your favorite hot sauce Cornbread ingredients: 6 Tbsps unsalted butter 1 cup cornmeal 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 Tbsp sugar 1 tsps baking powder tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp salt 2 lg eggs, lightly beaten 1 cups buttermilk Hint: Cornbread can be homemade or bought premade. Toppings can be added to fit your palate. Cornbread directions: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8-inch baking dish. In a large bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs, buttermilk and butter. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the cornmeal mixture and fold together until there are no dry spots (the batter will still be lumpy). Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake until the top is golden brown, and tester inserted into the middle of the cornbread comes out clean, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the cornbread from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving. My Tractor Story: Memories of father and his John Deere tractor By Jean Polk Sigmon Cumming 1930: My dear father and I. He would hold me with his left hand and drive the tractor with his right. The tractor did not have rubber tires but steel-pointed wedges made into iron wheels. He only bought one more tractor and three cars paid cash. What a wonderful memory for me and my always hero I remember so well at 93! A friend painted this picture for me to give to my great-great-great-nephew four years old who even farms now and will continue for the seventh generation on land in Caldwell County, Western Kentucky.

I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our #1 industry agriculture! The other day I was driving through Jasper County on GA Hwy 11. Near a community called Eudora between Monticello and Mansfield I spied a huge rock with a plaque on it next to the roadway. I thought I imagined the sight until I found someone who knew all about it. Dow's Pulpit is called Preacher's Rock by the locals and the Georgia Department of Agriculture's own Andy Stanton. The Pulpit is a stone outcrop, shaped like a pulpit, sitting just south of the Jasper-Newton County line. A famous walking evangelist named Lorenzo Dow used to come and preach from atop the rock back at the turn of 19th century. About 80 years ago, a plaque was placed on the formation to tell people about the history of this special place. The inscription on Dow's Pulpit reads: On this rock in 1803 Lorenzo Dow of Connecticut, famous pioneer evangelist, preached the first gospel sermon in Jasper County according to well-founded tradition.

Georgia's Farm to School Program: Effingham Co. centers ag ed on district-owned farm Editor's Note: The Georgia Farm to School Program is a partnership of the Georgia Department of Education, the Georgia Department of Agriculture, Georgia Organics and the Georgia Department of Public Health. Farm to School is an effort to bring locally grown foods to schools and educate children about nutrition and agriculture. For more information, go to www.gafarmtoschool.org. By Jay Jones jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov School System: Effingham County Schools, Springfield Meals served: 1.6 million (2018-2019 school year) Number of Students: 12,700 Most popular menu items: Seasonal vegetables year-round. Currently offering kale, mustard greens, collard greens, shallots and green onions. From the smallest seeds grow learning opportunities and good nutrition at Effingham County Schools' Honey Ridge Agricenter, part of the district's Farm to School program. First grade students visit the 310-acre farm located three miles south of Guyton and plant seedlings of vegetables as part of their agriculture curriculum. Then, the county's middle and high school horticulture students tend the seedlings. From greenhouse to fields, the produce is locally grown, harvested and then prepared for meals served in the system's school cafeterias. The goal is to involve all grade levels in the Farm to School experience, said Jessica O'Leary, Effingham County School Nutrition director. The Agricenter, purchased by the school system in 2016, is central to that effort. "Farm to School efforts help make the connection from farm to fork," O'Leary said. "Students have a better under- Students from Marlow Elementary School in Effingham County learn about honey bees at the Honey Ridge Agricenter during a November field trip.

Students are currently growing kale, mustard greens, collard greens, cabbage, shallots and green onions at Honey Ridge. Other items that are planted and served include radishes, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, tomatoes and peppers. The Agricenter also has bees for honey and cattle that are part of the system's agriculture education curriculum. "Agriculture students tend to and take care of the animals through the veterinary science curriculum, and agriculture mechanic students assist through keeping the structures safe and secure and building new ones when needed," O'Leary said. They also make a great effort to involve the community in Farm to School events. This year, Effingham County Schools hosted a "Feed My School for a Week" event where agriculture professionals talked with students about farming methods and products. Parents and grandparents were also invited to read agriculture-related books to their elementary students. O'Leary added they had a successful Ag Field Day during the week where volunteers helped with the petting zoo and Ag Expo. Visitors also enjoyed hamburgers that were processed from a cow the students raised at the Agricenter. In the classrooms, teachers offer taste tests with local produce to introduce students to new things. Farm Bureau agents and farmers visit to help with hands-on activities from cooking lessons to setting up school gardens, O'Leary said. A new agriculture project involves high school students establishing an orchard at the Agricenter with assistance from the local University of Georgia Extension office. To round out the agriculture curriculum, students take field trips to local farms such as Hunter Cattle Company in Brooklet, Rahn's Greenhouses in Springfield and Freeman's Mill in Statesboro. All three are Georgia Grown members. Students also visited Ottawa Farms in Bloomingdale, a fish hatchery in Richmond Hill and several timber plantations. "We strive to incorporate Farm to School through various means and incorporate all sectors of the agriculture community," O'Leary said.

UGArden readying itself for its 10th year of growth and community By Merritt Melancon ATHENS There is a lot more growing at UGArden the University of Georgia's student-run community farm than just vegetables. Student involvement, community outreach and adoption of sustainable practices are all products of the work of students and staff at the garden. In May 2020, the garden will celebrate 10 years of excellence, all thanks to the continuous commitment from students, faculty, staff and donors. UGArden farm manager JoHannah Biang said the garden effectively integrates learning opportunities for students into the daily work they do on the farm, an experience they would not have without support from donors and the community. "Having an experience with food is a really important perspective for everyone to have. Without that support, we could not let just anyone come work here," Biang said. Financial gifts have helped improve infrastructure and pay student interns, for example, but eager volunteers have created a sense of community for students, said Biang. "It makes them feel like they are not only a part of UGA, but a part of Athens as well." Located roadside on South Milledge Avenue, UGArden is deeply rooted in giving back to the community in a way that is both educational for local elementary and middle school students and sustainable for the Earth, said student assistant farm manager Victoria Luna, a fourth-year horticulture student. "The staff here does not forget about the UGArden's focus to educate," said Luna. "Even if it takes extra time, knowledgeable people who work here take the time to show students how to get things done around the farm. What makes it all so special is that the work here is done in a sustainable, affectionate way, and then the crops go right back into the community."

The UGArden farm on South Milledge Avenue has significantly expanded its operations since its inception in 2010.
