I join the chorus of producers who believe that our future is under attack.
Free trade is a bit of a misnomer. Free is free if you are not the one paying. Imports from Mexico have grown exponentially because of unbridled access to our market window. Our producers are the ones who pay when on-farm domestic prices are crushed by products dumped into the market below cost.

Partnership with UGA puts historic Market Bulletins online

Database of ag history is available through the Digital Library of Georgia

By Amy Carter amy.carter@agr.georgia.gov
Have you ever wished you could step back in time say 50, 75 or 100 years ago to see what life was like then?
You can, virtually, with nearly a century's worth of Georgia Market Bulletins now living in the digital realm. The University of Georgia's Map and Government Information Library and the Digital Library of Georgia recently completed scanning and cataloguing more than 1,700 printed issues dating back to the oldest known surviving is-

sue, published on Jan. 7, 1926. On that date in history, the front
page of the paper offered 13 New Year's Resolutions for readers. No. 12 resonates still: Resolved, that I will help to put the unity in community by taking and making opportunities to work with others to improve agricultural and economic conditions.
In the Classifieds section, J.A. Goforth of Gainesville advertised an 8-month-old Raleigh bull for $50, or to exchange for a registered heifer cow or chickens.
Mrs. S.P. Reed of Varnell was selling 2-year-old budded Hale and Elberta
peach trees for 15 cents and 25 cents each, or to exchange for pecan trees.
Mrs. J.M. Stallings of Pavo had

150 lbs. of No. 1 Stuart pecans for sale at 40 cents per pound.
Mrs. S.W. Whitaker of Bainbridge advertised a new silk quilt with fancy hand embroidery for $15 or to exchange for Rhode Island Red pullets and two cockerels.
And J.H. Leverett of Parrott was selling a 6HP Alamo gas engine for $125; a horse-powered IHC hay press for $100; a 16ft Benthal peanut picker for $225; a 6 HP Fairbanks Morse gas engine without magneto for $75 or to exchange for 4 and 5ft budded Stuart pecan trees, a cutaway harrow, drag tooth harrow or other farm machinery of equal value.

Get "Georgia Pecans Blues" for a good cause

Please deliver this paid subscription to: Published by the Ga. Department of Agriculture Gary W. Black, Commissioner

Leopold's Ice Cream in Savannah blended two of Georgia's top crops in a special ice cream flavor that will be offered for a limited time at the ice cream parlor to benefit the annual fundraising campaign of the United Way of the Coastal Empire. Savannah Mayor Van Johnson joined Police Chief Terry Enoch, 2020 Campaign Chair for United Way of the Coastal Empire, and Stratton Leopold, owner of Leopold's Ice Cream, on Sept. 10 for the ceremonial first scoop of the newly created "Georgia Pecans Blues." The flavor was created with the cooperation of Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black and the Georgia Department of Agriculture to feature Georgia-grown pecans and blueberries.
Each year, United Way raises millions of dollars to support more than 50 local nonprofit agencies that provide critical health and human services to thousands of people in a four-county region of Bryan, Chatham, Effingham and Liberty.

Stratton Leopold is a renowned ice cream maker and Hollywood film producer with credits that include The General's Daughter (1999), The Sum of all Fears (2002), Tears of the Sun (2003) and Mission: Impossible III (2006). He hails from Savannah, where his father, Peter, and unclesGeorge and Basil founded Leopold's Ice Cream in 1919.
Some of Leopold's signature original flavors include Tutti Frutti, Rum Bisque and Savannah Socialite, and they have since expanded their staple and seasonal offerings to include several vegan ice cream flavors and the pet-friendly Doggie Sundae.
In addition to its Creamery location and stores located in the heart of downtown Savannah and in the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport, Leopold's Ice Cream offers catering and nationwide shipping. For more information, visit https://www.leopoldsicecream.com/ or call 912.777.5340.

Mercer Medical Moment:

Prostate cancer, the silent killer

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2020

By Cody Blanchard
Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in men in the United States. Almost 200,000 men are diagnosed each year, and one in nine men will develop prostate cancer at some point in his lifetime. There are more than 30,000 deaths due to prostate cancer each year, making it the second most common cause of cancer death in men behind lung cancer.
The prostate is a walnut-sized gland that is located between the bladder and the rectum. The urethra, which is the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body, runs through the center of the prostate. Prostate cancer is the abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells inside this gland.
There are many risk factors that increase your risk of prostate cancer, most of which cannot be controlled. As men age, the risk of prostate cancer increases dramatically. The disease is rare in men under age 40, but the incidence rises rapidly after the age of 50. Sixty percent of cases occur in men over age 65. Having a father or brother with prostate cancer more than doubles a man's risk of developing this disease.
Prostate cancer occurs more often in African American men and Caribbean men of African ancestry, and African American men have the highest incidence and death rates. Newer studies have also found a link between increased cancer rates and a diet high in red meat and fatty foods, with low vegetable and fruit intake.
Early prostate cancer has no symptoms, but more advanced prostate cancer can cause difficulty urinating, including a slow or weak stream or the need to urinate more often at night, blood in the urine, and erectile dysfunction. These symptoms are more likely to be caused by something other than prostate cancer, but it is still important to tell your health care provider about any symptoms you are having so that they can decide the best course of action.
There are multiple different components of a screening protocol that may be used to examine and test for prostate cancer. The first test involves the prostate-specific antigen test, or PSA count. This protein is made by both normal and

cancerous prostate cells, and a blood test can detect your level of PSA, with a higher amount indicating there may be a problem with the prostate. Another test that is done is a digital rectal exam, where a physician manually feels through the rectum for abnormalities of the prostate. If either of these tests have an abnormal result, a biopsy will usually be done. These tests are both simple and quickly done in a physician's office, and many community groups across the state offer free screening as well.
Many organizations have varying recommendations for screening populations, but in 2018, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, which is the leading governmental organization for healthcare decision making suggestions, made the following recommendations about prostate cancer screening:
Men who are 55 to 69 years old should make individual decisions about being screened for prostate cancer with a PSA test, and this should be discussed with your physician to determine the potential risks and benefits of screening and make a shared decision about whether to be screened.
Men who are 70 years old and older should not be routinely screened for prostate cancer. This information can be found along with other general notes about prostate cancer on the Centers for Disease Control website at cdc.gov/cancer/ prostate and from the Georgia Prostate Cancer Coalition at georgiapcc.org.
In summary, prostate cancer is a very common cancer for men in the United States that is largely determined by factors that cannot be changed, like age and ethnicity. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and diet is important for good health in general, and new research is beginning to find a link between these healthy choices and lower rates of the disease.
If you are ultimately diagnosed, there are many effective treatments and support groups, including both the statewide and local chapters of the Georgia Prostate Cancer Coalition, to help you deal with the diagnosis.
You should speak with your primary care physician about any questions or concerns you have about this disease and the screening methods used, and to ensure you make an informed decision on getting screened.
-Cody Blanchard is a second-year medical student at
Mercer University School of Medicine. He is interested in
increasing the use of preventive screening tests in the com-
munity.

Georgie's Drive Thru Doerun
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our No. 1 industry, agriculture! Last year I went through Worth County on my way to the Sunbelt Expo in Moultrie. Just north of Doerun, I saw a sign pointing to the Tyson Wildlife Museum, which may be the largest privately owned collection of taxidermy in the state. James Tyson retired from Tyson Steel Buildings in 1991 and set out to collect game animals from across the globe. The museum is inside the office building at Tyson Steel and contains about 250 full body and shoulder-mounted animals from most every continent. The best thing about this collection is all the animals are posed together with a background that matches their natural habitat. There is a scene from the Arctic Circle, the Rocky Mountain slopes, the Alaskan tundra, a Georgia swamp and the African Serengeti, including all of the African Big 5 animals: a lion, a leopard, a cape buffalo, a rhinoceros and an elephant. Along with the Big 5, there are also two giraffes, a hippopotamus and every gazelle you can name!

Good to Grow: Heritage Garden grows Georgia history

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
Georgia's history grows in the Heritage Garden in Athens, tracing how people cultivated food from Native Americans to P.J. Berkman's nursery in Augusta.
Located in the State Botanical Garden at the University of Georgia, the Heritage Garden is a living tour of Georgia that provides a place for plants that made their mark on the state.
Georgia is known as the Peach State, but that would not have happened without Berkman, said Gareth Crosby, Heritage Garden curator.
"Berkman is the father of the peach as we know it in Georgia," she said. "Because of the heat and humidity peaches were susceptible to fungal disease, so he collected cultivars and developed new cultivators that could stand up to the heat."
After the Civil War, Berkman built his Fruitland Nursery business through a mail-order catalog that sold peach and apple trees along with pears and plums trees and hundreds of other plants, trees and ornamentals. Many of the plant cultivars developed by Berkman sold still grow in Georgia. The Fruitland Nursery property was sold by the Berkman Family in the late 1920s, and became the Augusta National Golf Club.
The method of grafting and splicing cultivars to create new plant subspecies is also part of Georgia's agriculture history. Crosby explained that growers were always looking for plants that would thrive in Georgia. That meant plants introduced to Georgia in the 1800s were grafted to different varieties of the species to make hardier versions. That grafting over the years meant it has become harder to find originals.

with Groundskeeper Kylie Amunda and Assistant
Jim Moneyhun. (Amy Carter/GDA)
"Back then, horticulture was all about the next new thing, so that makes it harder to find older cultivars," Crosby said. "I'm looking for Camellias now (because) we have this old, old cultivar in the nursery that is about finished. I've looked all over, calling other heritage gardens to find one. Last week, I put in a call to Monticello (Thomas Jefferson's home in Virginia) to see if they had one."
In a nod to Victorian-era gardens, a fountain topped by a bittern sculpture is at the Heritage Garden center. The garden has four parts that include an orchard and sections for

ornamentals, native plants, fruits and vegetables.
The public can walk the garden grounds seven days a week and see what grows and what can inspire. Crosby holds grafting pruning classes along with conducting tours and garden rambles. She hopes to develop a course on the functional uses of plants. A variety of sorghum was grown for more than a century specifically to make brooms. Other plants were grown for fibers and dyes.
The vegetable sector is a working garden that has a plant pallet for each growing season. Crosby said they are now working on the fall garden and will plant garlic onions, leaks and different types of collards, like Ole-Timey Blue and Morris Heading.
"We grow parsnips, too, and I encourage everyone to try then. They look like a white carrot but are sweeter than a carrot," she said.
They save seeds each year for a seed bank in the garden. Crosby said saving seeds is not only a long-held tradition, but it is also an

excellent method for selecting the best and brightest from the garden.
"I always use the biggest and brightest tomato for seeds because you know you're going to get more," she said. "With squash, I usually have to grab the first (one) because you never know if you're going to get any more good ones."
The State Botanical Garden at the University of Georgia is located south of downtown Athens at 2450 S. Milledge Ave. The ground and gardens are open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more information, call 706.542.1244 or go to www.botgarden.uga.edu.

Just When You Think: Finding hope in the next generation of growers

Continued From Page 1

fruit, vegetable and pecan producers are now figuratively "searching for the heifer calf" with the same apprehension I was. They have experienced foul play and are genuinely concerned about the next generation.
I salute U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, Ambassador Gregg Doud (lead agricultural negotiator), Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross for recently conducting special hearings for Southeastern producers and listening to their concerns. I was honored to join Congressmen Austin Scott, Buddy Carter and Doug Collins in offering testimony. Georgia Farm Bureau President Gerald Long and Georgia Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association Executive Charles Hall anchored a strong team of Georgia Grown producers who simply told the truth to federal officials. It made a difference.
I am encouraged by USTR's enforcement proposals, particularly for blueberry. Coupled with continued aggressive domestic marketing, I'm hopeful we can craft more fair trade in the future.
I admit the challenges of trade, regulation, capital investment, sputtering markets and scores of other variables occasionally lure me to question if there will be a next

generation of farmers who will want to or be able to answer the call. Then "just when I think" such nonsense, young people like Cohen McClure come to the rescue.
I met this bright student on Sept. 3. Our wonderful Farm to School Coordinator, Misty Friedman, and her husband, Rich, school nutrition director for Commerce City Schools, assembled a quick meeting with Cohen and one of his recently produced watermelons. Accompanied by his two-time National Middle School Ag Teacher of the Year, April Davis, Cohen told me about his one-half acre plot.
"I sold some watermelons in the community, but the coolest thing was that I got to sell some to school for our lunch," Cohen told me.
Cohen outlined for me his Supervised Agricultural Experience (FFA project) in meticulous detail.
"I think I'll expand to a full acre next year," he said.
It didn't take long for him to start thinking like a veteran.
Cohen, you are an inspiration. Young FFA and 4-H members like you help some of us shake the cobwebs out just when we are tempted to think the unthinkable. Press on my young friend. We are all cheering you on.

Digital Library: Voices of the past speak to the present through historic documents

Continued From Page 1

connected buyers and sellers of agricultural goods and services and gave casual readers a glimpse into the value of farming and horticulture. It was the Facebook and Craigslist of its day, giving a voice to populations unheard in contemporary media or the history books.
That is what makes the digital collection of government publications like the Market Bulletin such valuable historical resources, said Sheila McAlister, director of the Digital Library of Georgia, housed within UGA's library system.
"When people hear about government publications, they don't understand the richness of the information that's in there. They're thinking more about data and rules, whereas this is really capturing sort of a picture of what life was like in the state at the time for various different kinds of com-

munities," she said. Digital copies of the Market Bulletin are deposited on-
line within the Georgia Government Publication section of the Digital Library of Georgia. The government documents project is a dynamic collection of reports and papers published by the state of Georgia. Most modern documents are "born digital," but printed publications, such as the Market Bulletin and reports of the Railroad Commission of Georgia forerunner of today's Public Service Commission must be scanned.
Valerie Glenn, head of the Map and Government Information Library at UGA, said the effort to preserve as many government documents as possible in digital form provides a record of the government's work. It also makes that in-

formation available to a much broader audience, including those with disabilities that make it difficult if not impossible to visit a bricks-and-mortar library and pull a book from the shelf.
Because digital documents are enabled for text-specific searching, it's possible to enter specific terms and go straight to the volume, page and paragraph that contains those words. Sarah Causey, Georgia State Documents librarian, said printed books and documents aren't hidden among the stacks in a traditional library, but it can sometimes feel that way.
"To digitize information opens it up so much more where people expect to find it," Causey said. "It's nice to bridge that gap."

Although the Georgia Department of Agriculture maintains a complete physical archive of the Market Bulletin back to 1926, early issues are deteriorating with time. Shown is detail of the spine of a bound edition from 1927 captured on the scanner display at the UGA Main Library. With the entire archive digitized, the information contained in those papers won't be lost to time.

The University of Georgia Map and Government Information Library and the Digital Library of Georgia recently completed a months-long project to scan and digitize historic issues of the Market Bulletin dating back to the earliest known surviving issue, Jan. 7, 1926.
The project digitized issues from 1926 through 1963. Issues from 1964 forward were already housed on the DLG site. Current issues are produced in print and digital form and shared with the library shortly after publication.
To access the entire database of historic Market Bulletins, go to https://dlg.usg.edu/ online, and search for "Farmers and Consumers Market Bulletin," or follow the link on our website at http://agr. georgia.gov/market-bulletin.aspx.

Think outside the pie

Fall campaign pitches Georgia pecans to sports fans

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
The Georgia Pecan Commission wants you to think outside the pie.
The commission is rolling out a new marketing campaign reminding Georgia residents that there is more to the native nut than dessert.
Commission member Robert Gainer "RG" Lamar said the marketing and advertising effort is different for the commission than the usual nationwide campaign. They want to remind Georgians that the pecan is one special and versatile nut.
"We used to spread our resources pretty, pretty thinly across a large number of people, but we've decided to focus on the state of Georgia," said Lamar, who operates his family pecan farm and business in Hawkinsville. "We think there's a big opportunity for us to educate the population of the state on what a wonderful crop we have here and how proud we ought to be of it right here at home."
As part of the campaign, television viewers of the University of Georgia football broadcasts will notice former Bulldog quarterback D.J. Shockley extolling pecans' versatility. In another ad on Atlanta Braves radio broadcasts, play-by-play announcer Joe Simpson and Lamar talk about how pecans can be a big hit for snacking.
Lamar said he hopes the campaign brings home the message that Georgia pecans are considered the highest quality pecans globally and should be a point of pride.
"People think of Georgia peaches, and I think that's probably nationally what we're most known for," he said. "We all know how great the peaches are here, which they are, but pecans deserve an equally prominent place in our state pride, I think."
The campaign also extolls the health benefits of pecans. Studies cited by the Georgia Pecan Commission show that pecans are a low carbohydrate food and fit well into Keto and Mediterranean diets. Pecans are also high in antioxidants and

healthy fats. Lamar added pecans are also a versatile food. "We all love pecans in a pie, but they are really underuti-
lized as just an everyday snack because of the health benefits," Lamar said. "We would love to see people think of pecans as a daily snack and used in other ways. I eat them on my oatmeal in the mornings. A lot of times, I put them on salads. They're just a great all-around nut."
The new marketing approach comes as pecan growers continue to recover from the damage caused by Hurricane Michael in 2018. But signs are pointing toward better times to come.
According to Lenny Wells, University of Georgia Cooperative Extension pecan specialist, the pecan crop is expected to be very good this year. As growers enter the prime harvesting season for pecans this month, the harvest is estimated at 87 million pounds for Georgia, up from 67 million pounds in 2019.
"The crop in 2019 was light, as we expected coming right off the heels of that hurricane," Wells said. "Based on what we had seen in other states that had suffered major hurricanes, we expected that a couple of years later that we would have a pretty good crop and that's indeed what has happened. We have a good crop in the state this year. It's come back much better than most people thought it would."
Lamar said the COVID-19 pandemic and trade war with China have also reduced the market for pecan growers. China is the largest importer of Georgia pecans.
"Between those two things we've been hit very hard in our exports for Georgia," he said.
Despite the downturn of exports, Lamar said the one constant with pecans is the quality that can be found nowhere else than in Georgia.
"A lot of people don't realize, but we actually grow the best quality pecans in the world, and that's why we think Georgians should be so proud of them because they really are the best in the world."

USDA to issue first pecan
forecast for 2020 crop
ATHENS During the last week of September, pecan growers will receive a survey from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service. Information from this survey will be used to forecast pecan production for 2020.
"The pecan industry is an important part of U.S. agriculture, especially in southern states, and it is crucial for us to have accurate data about this key sector of the economy," said Anthony Prillaman, director of the NASS Southern Regional Field Office. "Around 2,600 producers from across the country, including more than 300 in Georgia, will be contacted to accurately measure 2020 acreage and production for pecans. The data collected from this survey will help set pecan acreage and production estimates at both the state and U.S. level."
As an alternative to mailing the survey back and to help save both time and money, growers will have the option to respond to the survey securely online. Growers who have not responded by Sept. 29 will be contacted for a telephone interview by a National Association of State Departments of Agriculture enumerator.
NASS safeguards the privacy of all respondents and publishes only aggregate data, ensuring that no individual operation or producer can be identified.
Survey results will be published in the October Crop Production report, to be released on Oct. 13. These and all NASS reports are available online at www.nass.usda.gov/publications. For more information call the NASS Southern Regional Field Office at 800.253.4419.
