Georgie's Drive Thru Middleground
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our No. 1 industry, agriculture. Did you know farmers grow tons of carrots in Georgia? Now you do. Georgia farms grow more than 1,000 acres of carrots annually. Many of the carrots grown here are the Maverick variety, producing more than 25 tons per acre. Most carrots are grown in the winter and take about four months to mature. One of the most important health benefits of Georgia carrots is beta-carotene. Beta-carotene converts to Vitamin A, which gives you good eyesight, and it also gives carrots their orange color. It's probably the reason why Mama told me, "Carrots make your hair curly and your teeth white." The other day, I went to Deal Farms outside Statesboro to see something special: a carrot harvester. Out in a field between Middleground and Clito, I found a huge, green monster pulling carrots out of the ground, three rows at a time. The 3-wheeled, self-propelled machine gently lifted them out of the ground by their green tops, cut off the tops, and conveyed them into a trailer that was traveling alongside. If only Bugs Bunny had one of those, he'd never have missed that left turn in Albuquerque!

USDA, NASA sign agreement to improve agricultural, Earth science research

WASHINGTON, D.C. The U.S. Department of Agriculture and NASA have signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at strengthening their longstanding partnership on spacebased assets benefitting life on Earth.
The agreement brings together NASA's experience with technology development and spaceborne Earth science measurements and USDA's scientific experience and knowledge of agricultural production, resource conservation, food security and safety, and forests and working lands.
USDA and NASA will explore research gaps of importance to the agricultural community that could be addressed through innovative Earth observation systems and technologies

developed over the next decade. The collaboration also will address recommendations made in the 2017 National Academies' Earth Science Decadal Survey.
"As we've seen over the past 100 years, increasing innovation in agriculture is limitless," said U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue. "This partnership between USDA and NASA will bring together the best research, science, and technology we have to offer to help produce more food to feed the growing world. We are continuing an already great collaborative effort to utilize space-based technologies across sectors and into agriculture."
"When we combine research on the International Space Station with the amazing capabil-

ities that Earth observation provides, I believe that NASA, in partnership with USDA, could transform farming and bolster agricultural production in ways we can't even imagine today," said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine. "Microgravity research can unlock secrets in a wide variety of fields, and I'm particularly excited about our agency's potential impact on the next-generation agricultural techniques."
The agreement also will leverage USDA's connections with the agricultural community and the global marketplace.
The partnership outlined in the agreement will benefit a variety of Earth and space-based goals, including activities in support of NASA's Artemis program, which will land the first

woman and the next man on the Moon, and establish sustainable exploration with commercial and international partners. Plant-based research on the International Space Station, and other space or ground platforms, may lead to creative new ways to improve American and global agriculture, protect the environment, and contribute to better human health.
In addition, the agencies collaborate on education and communication activities to inspire youth in America to pursue careers in STEM and agriculture through the National Science and Technology Council's Committee on STEM Education.

Researchers hunt the successful recipe for growing Christmas firs in Georgia

By Dr. Mark A. Czarnota
University of Georgia, Griffin
In the United States more than 20 million cut Christmas trees are sold every year during the Christmas holiday season. Unfortunately, growers cannot meet the needs of consumers, and every year, there is a shortage of trees. The main reason for the tree shortage is due to the incredible losses of susceptible firs (Fraser, Balsa, Canaan, etc.) to the root fungus Phytophthora.
Georgia and other Southeastern States import more than 50 percent of their fresh cut Christmas trees. The fresh cut Christmas trees that Georgia growers currently provide include Leyland cypress (X Cupressocyparis leylandii), Arizona cypress (Cypessus arizonica), Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana), and Virginia Pine (Pinus virginiana).
In the early 1990s, attempts were made to introduce Momi fir (Abies firma), which is a heat tolerant fir that can grow in the Southeast. Furthermore, Momi fir has proven itself over the last 25 years as the only known fir species resistant to Phytophthora root disease and could make a good Christmas tree/ornamental/timber species.
In North Carolina, because of the more desirable Christmas tree characteristics of Fraser fir, many growers have been grafting Fraser fir (Abies fraseri) scion wood (shoot wood) to Momi fir rootstock. This enables you to grow a Fraser fir that is on Momi fir root stock in Phy-

tophthora infested soils.

Although grafting

can be used to provide a

solution to this situation,

grafting can be prob-

lematic. Grafting is very

os of Momi Fir growing in Georgia. In the near er firs such as Fraser or Balsa, hybrid embryos

could be rescued, cultured into embryos, and matured into seedlings.
If a hybrid could be developed, it could provide an endless supply of a Phytophthora resistant hybrid fir tree for the Christmas tree, ornamental, and forestry industry in Georgia, and the Southeast.
This could open up fantastic financial opportunities for all of these industries in Georgia and the Southeast.
In order to create these hybrid firs, Momi fir trees growing in Athens, Griffin, and Terrytown, Ga., will be observed for female cone development. Once immature female cones are observed, they will be covered with pollen bags to prevent from being pollenated by other Momi firs.
When male cones are observed releasing pollen on Momi fir, covered female cones should be receptive, and would be pollenated with pollen of Fraser or other desirable fir trees. When mature embryos are observed, hybrid cone embryos will be harvested and cultured to produce embryos and eventually seedlings. With any luck, these hybrids will be Phytophthora resistant, and forever change our abilities to grow firs in the Southeastern United States.
Wish us luck!
-Dr. Mark Czarnota is an associate profes-
sor of Horticulture at the University of Geor-
gia's Griffin Campus. He is leading a research
project seeking a hardy fir species for Christ-
mas tree growers in Georgia.

UGA economists will discuss pandemic's impact on agriculture during virtual forecast Jan. 29

By Josh Paine
University of Georgia
Economists from the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences will discuss the effects of COVID-19 on farming, highlight agritourism impacts in the state, and give a forecast of top commodities for the next year during the annual Georgia Ag Forecast.
The live seminar will take place via Zoom webinar Friday, Jan. 29, beginning at 9:30 a.m. Registration is free and required to receive a link to the online event.
Two keynote sessions by CAES Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics faculty will be broadcast prior to concurrent sessions of commodity outlooks. John Salazar, associate professor and coordinator of the college's Hospitality and Food Industry Management program, will give an overview of agritourism's impact in the state and discuss the important linkages between local, county and state tourism efforts. Sharon Kane, senior public service associate, will present the results of surveys conducted by the UGA Center for Agribusiness and Economic Development about the impact of COVID-19 on agriculture around the state.
CAES is offering the 2021 Ag Forecast event free of charge as a service to farmers, agribusinesses and elected officials across the state. Normally held at various Georgia locations each January, the event provides timely updates for the state's largest

economic sector an estimated $76 billion in output according to the Center for Agribusiness and Economic Development. Insights from university economists help farmers and agribusinesses make planting and logistical decisions for the coming year.
Following the keynote presentations, there will be four breakout sessions covering livestock and poultry; row crops including cotton, peanuts, grains and oilseed; green industry and horticultural crops including fruits, vegetables and tree nuts; and forestry and land taxation by faculty from UGA's Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources. The full written report from UGA

faculty authors will be available on the event website the day of the event.
"It's a nice combination of a recap of 2020 into an outlook for the next year. It'll be the first time we share the in-depth information for both years," said Mark McCann, assistant dean for UGA Cooperative Extension. "The breakout sessions will also allow for more in-depth discussions on commodities than in previous years."
The pandemic presented many challenges on top of issues farmers already face including weather, disease and labor, but there were some industries that rebounded or turned markets around.
"Even with the pandemic and supply chain issues, there are some industries that have had some really bright moments, such as the horticulture industry," McCann said.
The event will also include remarks from incoming CAES Dean and Director Nick Place, who will begin his appointment Jan. 1.
Georgia Ag Forecast is sponsored by Farm Credit Associations of Georgia, Georgia Farm Bureau, Georgia Agribusiness Council, Georgia Department of Agriculture and Georgia Grown.

Steam traction engine tradition rolls on in Forsyth County
Appreciation for farm antiques is shared by young and old

By Amy Carter
amy.carter@agr.georgia.gov
FORSYTH COUNTY The Cumming Steam and Gas Show is an event filled with sound and fury, signifying the power of old iron fueled by fire and water and the will of steam enthusiasts united by the singular goal of keeping old farm machines alive.
They gather at the Cumming Fairgrounds the second weekend of every November bringing massive steam traction engines that tell the story of agriculture's early transition from man, horse, ox and mule power to machines that huff and puff on 50 psi.
Forsyth County's history with steam traction engines is traced to a man named A.G. "Glen" Thomas who, in 1958, conducted a one-man 4th of July parade driving his 1912 45 HP Case steam engine around the Cumming town square with four or five children on bicycles following in his wake.
Other collectors joined him for subsequent parades and a holiday tradition was born that continues to this day with upwards of 30 steam traction engines chugging the main streets of a city that is home to about 6,000 souls. Cumming is the seat of Forsyth County, one of Georgia's fastest growing counties with a population approaching 250,000 lured by the northward expansion of Atlanta's suburbs. But the steam engine pastime that is a throwback to the county's rural roots shows no sign of abating.
"If you grow up here in our county, it's just something that you want to do, I guess, if you appreciate the older things, the stories and everything," said Michael Moore, show organizer (or herder of cats, as he described himself).
Moore acquired a 1907 15 HP Case about 20 years ago. "It came out of Ohio. I had it trucked down. It was originally from Nebraska," he said. While more common in the Midwest where they were used to pull 12- or 14-bottom plows to bust Prairie sod, steam engines were also used in Georgia to power sawmills and cotton gins and to pull threshing machines and road scrapes back when dirt roads outnumbered paved ones. The Cumming show was first organized by the city about 20 years ago and taken over by the Cumming Antique Power Association about a decade ago. "It was too good of a thing from the perspective of the older generation sharing the knowledge they have to let it die down," Moore said. "This is for the older generation so they can teach the younger generation. "We're all getting older. We're getting older, the equipment's getting older and if there's no young folks coming behind us that part of our heritage will die." Josh Hubbard, 25, has been around steam engines "ever since my great-grandpa had me on his hip. I ran my first engine not long after I learned to walk." Hubbard's great-grandfather was Roscoe Thomas nephew of Glen Thomas who worked with his brothers, Doodler and Bud, to take the steam engine tradition to younger generations. Hubbard has his great-grandfather's 24 HP Russell Engine that was used on a sawmill until the late 1950s, then became a parade engine. Hubbard acquired his first engine at 23, bought out of Maryville, Tenn. Last year, he purchased a 1922 65 HP Case in Missouri. While engine owners range in age from their 20s to their 70s or older, most of the operators are in their late teens or early 20s or 30s. That is by design, Moore said. At 16, teens who've earned certification through a series of courses on the properties of steam and the safe operation and maintenance of boilers can run the engines by themselves. It takes about two hours to safely build 50 psi of steam, enough to move the 1915 Case traction steam engine Casey Bennett, 32, operated at the show. Weighing out at 14 tons with wood, coal and water on board, the engine has a cruising speed of two miles per hour. A snail's pace, you might think, until you're standing behind the wheel. "It doesn't seem that fast as far as when you say it by the speed limit but when you're on it and everything's happening so fast, it's flying. It doesn't work by the second. You can't turn

these on a dime. You can't stop them on a dime," Bennett said It takes three full revolutions of the steering wheel to start
moving the Case engine in the direction you want to go, and as soon as it starts heading that way you need to be turning the wheel the other way to straighten out.
"It's not like power steering in a car where you barely turn the wheel and you're back straight," Bennett said.
Making steam takes water, and anything less than half a sight glass of water is no good. Building a fast fire in the box will also compromise the integrity of the metal. It takes patience, Bennett said.
"You don't just fill the fire box slap full of wood and walk off. You start a small fire to get going get a bed of coal, throw three or four pieces of wood in there build slow."
Those are the lessons young people learn in the steam engine club.
"We do this to encourage the younger generations and hope they get inspired to say, `Hey I want to go buy a tractor and redo it.' Not even to the point of using it for what it was intended but just get involved," said Bennett, who attended his first steam parade at age two and missed only one in the ensuing 30 years.
As a teen, he learned about engines from the families of friends who owned them.
"I was fortunate enough that some of the elders that have passed on now taught me," he said.
Twenty-two-year-old Sawyer Orr said he has been around

the steam engines "since I could walk," but didn't get hooked on them like his friend, Josh Hubbard.
"I've steered a steam engine. It's a bunch of pulling and a bunch of pushing and that's about all I know about them," he said.
Orr is a collector of International Harvester tractors he brought to the show a 1973 International 2500 industrial series painted yellow instead of red and a 1980 model 485, a 50 HP tractor with power steering.
"It's a good tractor. I have a bunch of pictures of me sitting in my Granddad's lap on it. Me and my Dad farmed with it and me and my Grandpa farmed with it," he said.
He lost father and grandfather within months of each other earlier this year, but he's carrying on the family traditions he learned from them which include the steam and gas show.
"You can't quit," he said. "You just have to keep going." Living on land that's been in his family since 1867 where he grows tomatoes and sweet corn Orr said he's happy with the life his grandfather and father taught him to live in Forsyth County. "I love it here. Everybody asks me why I want to stay. Everybody feels like they want to get out of here," Orr said. "They don't have much of this anywhere else. You can't get together with your buddies and hang out and look at a bunch of cool tractors."
As long as the water and fire are managed properly on a steam traction engine, maintenance isn't too much of a chore for owners.
"If you take care of them, keep the water out of the boiler when you're not using it, have it dried out, and as long as you grease and oil everything, they seem to hold up pretty good," said Michael Moore, organizer of the Cumming Steam, Antique Tractor and Gas Show. "The flues will go bad every 20 to 30 years and you have to replace those, but everything else seems to hold up pretty good."
Except when it doesn't. And that's where the adventure begins, because there is no after-market for century-old steam traction engine parts.
"You can't go to the parts store to buy parts for them. You have to have them re-cast," said Casey Bennett. "Everything down to the handles, everything the flywheel, the wheels themselves is hand-forged. Lucky for us, the Amish still re-cast."
Members of the Cumming Antique Power Association turn to Cattail Foundry in Lancaster County, Penn., to forge new parts for their century-old engines. The foundry is owned by an Amish farmer and his son, who are well known in the American steam engine community for their work forging new parts for old machines.
Google the foundry and you'll find plenty of discussion about them, but no website by or for them. One cannot place an order or pay for new steam engine parts online only by mail and phone. Because their Amish religious beliefs limit their exposure to certain technologies, the foundry's phone is in its own 10 ft x 10 ft building, along with an answering machine, Moore said.
Once a day the foundry owner checks the messages and calls back to clarify. He then mails the finished product with a bill. Like the engines themselves, it's a process that harkens to a simpler time.
