Dear Subscriber:

It's been a year of big changes to the Market Bulletin, changes intended to make

the paper more useful to you, the farmers and consumers we serve. We appreciate
10 0 t1h9A17nniv2e0r1s7ary the enthusiasm you've shown for the new categories in the Classifieds section, the
added upsells like photos and borders to make your ads stand out, the retail advertising program we hope to build upon in months to come, and the expanded editorial content all of this allows us to offer to you.
Our aim first and foremost is to be helpful to you in buying and selling farm goods, then informative and maybe a little entertaining. For the most part, I think

we're getting close to the mark. I heard from a subscriber recently who said the new

and improved Market Bulletin is better than snuff, so there's one fan.

For those of you who make use of the online component of your subscription

either to read the digital edition, search our Classifieds or place a Classified ad we

have another big change to announce. On March 1, we will be eliminating the need

to sign-in online using your subscriber number. This transition should not affect

your ability to access our website that day, but it's possible we might be unavailable

for a brief time.

When we replaced our old software package last spring, we kept the old way of

logging in to make the transition easier for you. Perhaps I'm pushing you a little

farther into the sausage factory than you'd care to go, but that initial login with your

subscriber number delivered you to our website, where digital editions are stored. If

your intent was to place a Classified ad or search the Classifieds without having to

flip through the digital paper, you were required to login a second time by entering

your email address and password of your choosing, or your last name, phone num-

ber, street number and zip code. That process delivered you to a platform hosted and

maintained (securely) by our new software provider.

We received many complaints about that two-step process, so we're eliminating

the unnecessary component.

If, upon logging in the new way, you encounter an error message that says

your account can't be found, the reason might be:

1. We do not have a current phone number on file for you,

2. We do not have an up-to-date mailing address on file for you,

3. We do not have an email address on file for you,

4. Your subscription has expired.

All four can be easily remedied with a phone call to us at 404.656.3722. We

won't use the information you give us to call you unnecessarily or bombard you

with unwanted emails. The only regular email correspondence you'll receive from

us is our biweekly notice that the latest issue of the paper is available online. There

is a link on that email that allows you to unsubscribe from that campaign if you

wish.

Note that you may login two ways to read the Market Bulletin online, search and enter Classified ads: (Address Tab)

We'll update you next issue if any glitches arise. As always, we're here if you With your Last Name, Phone Number, Street Number and Zip Code, or (Account Tab) with your subscriber number

need us.

Growers in the `two Georgias' face markedly different conditions going into spring
By Jay Jones jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov

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

A wetter and warmer winter will have a significant impact on spring planting and harvesting this year as Georgia farmers and ag producers enter into the growing season.
Pam Knox, University of Georgia climatologist, described a story of two Georgias this spring. North Georgia is water-logged from excessive rains while South Georgia has been relatively dry. Those differences drive the narrative for farmers getting into their fields and orchards.
"It takes a while for the soil to dry out especially in North Georgia because we have so much clay that I'm afraid that farmers are really going to have trouble getting into the field for a while," she said.
Knox had another concern for North Georgia farmers getting in the fields too early and compacting the soil with heavy machinery.
"Even though we're supposed to get into fairly warm temperatures that will dry out the surface, underneath it's still going to be wet," Knox said.
She said rain is expected to continue through March as the weather track is "just kind of locked in place over North Georgia and into the Tennessee and Ohio river valleys."
On the flip side of the coin, parts of South Georgia have remained dry. Knox said the warm temperatures might dry the soil out more. Though farmers won't have much trouble getting into the fields, they will have to consider moisture conditions of the soil.
See TWO GEORGIAS, page 15

Overhead irrigation protects blueberries from frost. If temperatures aren't predicted to be too low, applying water just before temperatures drop can help insulate plants. The UGA Extension Service recently published Bulletin 1479, "Commercial Freeze Protection for Fruits and Vegetables," with tips for protecting crops during cold and variable months.

My Tractor Story:
You can go home again

By Lewis Chapman

I was born in Blairsville, Georgia,

in 1951 and my family moved to

Chamblee, Georgia, in 1952. I began

school in DeKalb County around 1956.

In 2nd grade I had a classmate named

John Maloney and we became lifelong

friends. My family would return on

weekends to Blairsville as both sets of

grandparents were still alive.

My maternal Grandfather, R.L.

Lance, owned a 100-acre farm that

he and his family worked. In 1955 he

bought a 1952 Model Farmall Cub

to make work on the farm a little

easier. He did not particularly care

for mechanical things. The whole

time that I knew him he complained

about driving. He had a 1950 Model

Chevrolet pickup truck but I'm not

sure that he ever really learned to

drive. He could get around Union

County and the surrounding area but

that was about it.

When I was a teenager, I would

spend time during the summer with

him. I saw my Grandfather (Bob, as

we called him) work with his Cub

tractor on occasion in the 1960s,

mowing and cultivating. Bob passed

away in 1971.

For the most part the tractor sat

under a shed until 2004. I knew that

John had restored several tractors,

both red and green. I began to ask him about a possible restoration, and he agreed to help me

with it. So, in February 2004 he and I pulled the Cub out from under the shed where it had been

sitting for 30-plus years. Someone had the forethought to leave antifreeze in the engine, so the

radiator and engine block were in good shape. With a new battery, even the headlights worked!

The restoration was finished in September 2004.

In 2018 my wife and I were able to move back to Blairsville and now live on the same farm that Bob purchased in 1925. His Farmall Cub is stored near where it was in 1955. Sixty-eight years later the Cub and I are back where we started!

Do you have a tractor story to tell? We'd love to share it with our readers. Write to Lee Lancaster in care of the Market Bulletin or email lee.lancaster@agr.georgia.gov.

Georgie's Drive Thru Brunswick
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our #1 industry agriculture! There are lots of important things that were invented in Georgia, like Coca-Cola and the cotton gin. But no family reunion meal or church social would be complete if Brunswick Stew hadn't been invented! Although other places claim to have invented it first, we invented it, too. I even found the pot it was invented in, in downtown Brunswick. Sitting next to the farmer's market in Mary Ross Waterfront Park, the pot is displayed with an inscription that reads: "In this pot the first Brunswick Stew was made on St Simon Isle July 2 1898." You'll never guess what I found one day at the Golden Isles Welcome Center on I-95 another stew pot! But, it's not the original one. A local Boy Scout troop gave them a new one with a display stand in 1988. The staff said they enjoy watching people get their picture taken with and even inside their famous Brunswick Stew pot. They do have the original recipe for Brunswick stew, which includes onions, tomatoes, corn, beans, cow, pig, and chicken, but no squirrel. Communities in the Southern Appalachians also lay claim to developing this savory winter stew, and insist it tastes best with fresh small game squirrel, rabbit, opossum and whatever local ingredients are on hand.
Stirring the stew pot in Brunswick. (Lee Lancaster/GDA)

Cook Georgia Grown: Goat Cheese and Seasonal Greens Fondue

Ingredients: 1 cup chopped turnip greens 1 Tbsp olive oil cup white wine 1 tsp garlic, chopped 2 Tbsps onion, diced finely 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves 1 cup Thomasville Tomme, shredded 8 oz Goat Cheese tsp cornstarch cup heavy cream Assorted vegetables and toasted ciabatta for dipping (suggestions: roasted root vegetables and/or mushrooms, raw radishes and/or apples)

Directions: Toss grated Thomasville Tomme with cornstarch. Set a small pot of water to boil.
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until translucent. Add garlic and thyme and stir until fragrant.
Increase heat and add turnip greens. Sautee until fully wilted. Add wine and heavy cream and heat until just beginning to bubble.
Transfer mixture to a stainless-steel

mixing bowl that fits over the top of the saucepan. Fill saucepan with boiling water and place mixing bowl over it to create a double boiler. Do not allow bottom of mixing bowl to touch the water. Add Thomasville Tomme to the wine and cream mixture one handful at a time, stirring until mostly melted before adding the next handful. Add crumbled goat cheese all at once, stirring until fondue is melted and smooth. Do not allow mixture to come to a simmer or fondue will break and become grainy.

Season to taste with fresh black pepper. Serve warm with assorted cooked and raw vegetables and bread for dipping.

Mercer Medical Moment: The symptoms of a heart attack aren't always easy to spot

By Calleigh Hitt
A heart attack happens when one of the blood vessels providing your heart with blood gets blocked either partially or completely. Usually this is due to plaque building up in your arteries, which is an accumulation of fatty particles that begins after an artery is damaged. The plaque itself can be damaged as well, and your body tries to fix that by making a clot. That clot slows down or even stops blood flow to that area of the heart. When the heart doesn't get enough blood flow, you can have a heart attack. Risk factors for having a heart attack are commonly related to the risk factors for having plaques in your arteries. There are some risk factors that run in families, so if you have a family history of heart disease it is very important to talk to your doctor and support system about ways to decrease your risk. High levels of bad cholesterol (also known as LDL) and low levels of good cholesterol (HDL) are also risk factors; these are influenced by diet and exercise. Smoking tobacco is also a risk factor for plaque development, and it increases the risk of clot formation on top of that. High blood pressure is another risk factor for plaque forma-

tion because of the stress it puts on your arteries all of the time. Diabetes is a risk factor for similar reasons; the amount of sugar in your blood should stay relatively the same, so when the body isn't able to regulate it like normal and there is too much glucose in the blood, it can cause damage to the blood vessels.
Outside factors can trigger a heart attack. Common triggers include emotional stress as well as physical activity. Both of those increase activity of the sympathetic nervous system (the "fight or flight" system), which increases heart rate and overall the work that the heart is doing. This in turn puts stress on any plaques in the arteries of the heart and can cause them to rupture, which can cause excessive clotting and block that artery.
The classic signs of a heart attack are recognizable for most people: Pain right in the center of the chest, along with pain in the left arm, neck, jaw, or even back pain. The person might fall down, and if people are around they are likely to call 911. However, someone else could have the exact same problem but look a lot different. Women and people with diabetes especially tend to have symptoms that don't fit that classic picture of a heart attack, so we call the other symptoms "atypical." Some people even have no symptoms at all.
Atypical symptoms of a heart attack include feeling like you cannot catch your breath, nausea, significant sweating, bad indigestion, and a fast heartbeat. The pain of a heart attack can also feel like chest tightness, burning, squeezing, general dis-

comfort, or like a gas bubble. A heart attack can also cause the heart to beat irregularly, also known as an arrhythmia. Some people believe they are having a panic attack or that they have eaten some bad food.
The American Heart Association recommends calling 911 immediately if the chest pressure, pain, or other discomfort lasts longer than a few minutes or if it gets better and then comes back.
Rapid treatment is very important in the case of a heart attack. The lack of blood supply causes some problems immediately, but those problems get worse the longer that the affected part of the heart is separated from its blood supply. If the heart attack happens with atypical symptoms, people are less likely to seek appropriate treatment because they do not recognize the problem for what it is.
Heart disease is an important health problem, especially in rural areas. Being able to recognize the symptoms of a heart attack, especially an atypical one, can enable you to get appropriate care faster. That in turn makes it more likely that you can make a good recovery.

Farm to School: Cherokee County shops, grows local

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.

School System: Cherokee County School District, Canton Meals served: 4.7 million (2018-2019 school year) Number of Students: 422,000 Most popular menu items: Tex-Mex chicken bowl (middle and high schools menus), kale salad with diced apples, dried cranberries and homemade vinaigrette.

The nutrition staff at Cherokee County School District found an innovative way to publicize its Farm to School program with students dancing with kale and a social media hashtag #kickinitwithkale.
The hashtag points to a video on the school district's YouTube channel (https://youtu.be/3Yf7T9gNom0) and was used to promote October as National Farm to School Month. CCSD Chief Communications Officer Barbara Jacoby said the district's nutrition program makes a concerted effort to tell their story of getting students to learn about healthy eating and locally grown foods.
"It's clear from the feedback we receive that our efforts to promote CCSD's School Nutrition programs are making a difference," Jacoby said. "Our community is more aware of our excellent staff, ingredients, recipes, facilities and collaborations, such as our award-winning Farm to School initiative."
Another video highlighted harvesting vegetables by students from their gardens at Holly Springs Elementary School in Canton. The unique lesson had first-grade students pick vegetables in the fall that they seeded in the spring as kindergartners. The students then planted butternut squash, brussels sprouts and radishes for their fall crop.
"This helps get some farm to school products to the students that we may not get elsewhere," said Melinda Wehunt, school nutrition manager, in the video.
The nutrition staff uses the produce in the school's cafeteria to make kale salad, which is a favorite at Holly Springs Elementary. Kale from the school garden supplements kale from other Georgia growers to make the simple but delicious salad with diced apples, dried cranberries and homemade vinaigrette.
Tina Farmer, CCSD director of nutrition, said Holly Springs served as a test school for the kale salad. The school district now provides the dish at other schools. She explained that other elementary schools in the district also have their gardens with students, teachers and nutrition staff working

FFA students at Creekview High School became certified in egg
candling as they harvested fresh eggs from a local farm that was
used for dishes served at the school's cafeteria. The activity was part

District)
provides chicken produced in Georgia that is served three times a week. The district works with its produce vendor, Royal Food Service, to give preference to locally grown items for fruits, vegetables and eggs.
The district also sources produce and value-added products from Georgia producers throughout the year, including citrus, watermelon, peaches and coleslaw.
High school students are offered opportunities to learn about nutrition through the family and consumer sciences classes. At Etowah High School, a team placed in the statewide Farm to School Student Chef competition. The students prepared a Tex-Mex chicken bowl made with all locally

Woodstock Elementary School students celebrate a bountiful harvest

grown ingredients. Farmer said the Tex-Mex bowl is now a regular on all mid-
dle and high school menus in the district. Farm to School also has opened partnerships in the com-
munity with schools. At Creekview High School, FFA students harvested fresh eggs from a local farm that were used by the school's nutrition staff. As part of the lessons, the students became certified in egg candling to allow the use of the eggs in the school's cafeteria.
Farmer said the Farm to School program brings together many components for the teaching experience, much like bringing ingredients together for a great recipe.
"Farm to School allows the school nutrition program to provide an interdisciplinary approach to nutrition education by partnering with students, teachers, farmers, chefs and our local Farm Bureau," Farmer said.

Invasive tick species is cause for concern
Individuals, pet owners, livestock producers urged to be vigilant

and Warnell School of Forestry and
Natural Resources
Most of us think Georgia has enough ticks 22 species but the Asian Longhorn Tick (Haemaphysalis longicornis) is lurking less than 100 miles away in both North Carolina and Tennessee, so Georgia probably should prepare for an addition to its tick fauna.
The ALT was first reported in continental North America in 2017 from a sheep in New Jersey, but archived specimens confirm its presence in West Virginia in 2010. It has since been reported in at least a dozen states along the Eastern Seaboard down to Arkansas, Tennessee and North Carolina. Its mode of distribution is unknown, but this rapid spread bodes poorly for containment.
Originally from northeast Asia, this tick was introduced to Australia and New Zealand more than 100 years ago, where it established and became a major problem on cattle and sheep. ALT presents a serious threat to livestock. In fact, in Australia it is known as "the cattle tick." But it appears this tick has not met a warm-blooded animal it doesn't like, having been found on more than two dozen hosts (including birds, which has serious implications for movement). They readily feed on ruminants, horses, dogs, cats, humans and several common wildlife species.
Why is this tick of particular concern? Be-

All pets should be on appropriate tick preventatives. Another important tactic is conducting daily tick checks of yourself, your children and your pets. Fortunately, ticks are slow in initiating feeding, so the consensus for most pathogens is that if we remove ticks within 24 hours of attachment, the risk of pathogen transmission is slight.
Researchers at the University of Georgia have been collaborating with state, federal and academic partners to conduct surveillance for ALT in the eastern United States. UGA maintains a weekly-updated map, available at https://scwds.shinyapps.io/haemaphysalis/.

New test detects deadly mushroom toxins in seconds Can help treat cases of human, canine poisoning

Two Georgias: Early bloom expected
Continued From Page 1

By Kim Kaplan
ALBANY, CALIFORNIA A simple, portable test that can detect the deadliest of mushroom poisons in minutes has been developed by Agricultural Research Service scientists and their colleagues.
Eating toxic mushrooms causes more than 100 deaths a year, globally, and leaves thousands of people in need of urgent medical assistance. Amanitin is the class of mushroom toxins that cause the most serious issues.
The new test can identify the presence of as little as 10 parts per billion (equivalent to 10 cents out of $10 million) of amanitin in about 10 minutes from a rice grain size sample of a mushroom or in the urine of someone who has eaten a poisonous amanitin-containing mushroom. The test also works with dog urine, as dogs are known to indiscriminately eat mushrooms.
"We developed the test primarily for mushrooms as food products. Serendipitously, it was sensitive enough to also detect the toxin in urine," said ARS microbiologist Candace Bever, who worked on the development. Bever is with the Foodborne Toxin Detection and Prevention Research Unit in Albany, Calif.
No definitive point-of-care clinical diagnostic test currently exists for amatoxin poisoning. Early detection of amanitin in a patient's urine would help doctors trying to make a diagnosis.
"Our hope is that doctors and veterinarians will be able to quickly and confidently identify amatoxin poisoning rather than having to clinically eliminate other suspected gastrointestinal diseases first," she added. "We also hope that will give patients a better chance at recovery, even though there are no clearly effective, specific treatments right now."
The test also could be a practical and definitive way for mushroom foragers to identify and avoid eating mushrooms with amanitin toxin if a commercial partner can be found to produce and market a test kit. This test is the most sensitive and reliable field method available to chemically identify amanitin-containing mushrooms. Although mushroom experts can identify deadly mushrooms just by look-

ing at their appearance, experts cannot see the toxin chemicals that lurk inside.
Still this test only identifies the presence or absence of this specific class of toxin; it does not detect other compounds such as hallucinogens or toxins that cause other gastrointestinal or neurological symptoms. So, it cannot determine if a mushroom is edible.
Mushroom hunting has gained in popularity in the last several decades. A single mushroom identification group on Facebook, among many, has more than 166,000 members. Foraging for mushrooms is popular throughout most of Europe, Australia, Japan, Korea, parts of the Middle East, and the Indian subcontinent, as well as in Canada and the United States. Distinguishing toxic from nontoxic mushroom species is based on first correctly identifying the mushroom and then referencing a mushroom field guide to determine if it is known to contain toxins or not. But mushrooms of the same species can vary in appearance, especially at different life stages and habitats, making them very difficult to identify.
Many poisonous mushrooms closely resemble edible wild mushrooms. For instance, the Springtime Amanita (Amanita velosa) is a highly desirable edible wild mushroom in the Pacific coastal United States. But to the untrained eye, it can appear similar to the Death cap mushroom A. phalloides. The Death Cap accounts for more than 90 percent of fungus-related poisoning deaths in Europe.
"This test can provide more information about a wild mushroom beyond physical appearance and characteristics and detect something we cannot even see the presence of amanitins," said Bever. If an affordable product like this was available, foraging could become even more popular and possibly safer.
The new test is an immuno-assay and depends on a very specifically reactive monoclonal antibody a lab-produced protein that detects and binds only with a specific target. Scientists from the University of California-Davis, Pet Emergency and Specialty Center of Marin and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also contributed to this project.

"What that means is that soils are going to dry out more quickly in the areas that aren't getting rain, especially if they're sandy soils, and so those soils may be a little bit dry to plant in because you've got to have some moisture so the seeds can germinate."
She noted early stages of drought conditions have already begun to creep into the state along the Florida border.
Fruit growers may feel the most significant impact from a warm winter. Just as yellow dandelions are popping up, fruit trees are coming out of dormancy early. Knox explained plants will use up more water as they start budding. While that may not be a problem in North Georgia, in the south the plant activity will dry out the soil even more.
The looming issue for fruit growers now is preparing for a late cold snap just as their plants become active. Knox said she believes growers expect their fruit trees and plants to bloom early this year.
"The big problem with that is if we do switch weather patterns, we could still see a late frost, and on average in Georgia, the last frost of the year has been getting later over the last decade or so," Knox said.
Al Pearson of Pearson Farms in Fort Valley said every grower is aware of the possibility of a spring frost. Pearson explained peach trees, along with other fruit crops in Georgia, require an adequate amount of cold weather to bloom in the spring. He thinks his trees have gotten enough cold weather this winter.
Pearson added that each season is different as the buds will speed up as the weather warms and slow down as it cools. Pearson said he could only predict one thing: There will be a cold snap at Easter.
Easter is traditionally observed on the first Sunday after the first full moon occurring on or after the vernal equinox, recognized as the first day of spring. This year, Easter falls on April 12.
"It might be a cold snap down to 25, and it might be a cold snap down to 35. At that same time, that's when peaches are either blooming or have recently bloomed, so it's something that peach growers grow up with. We understand that the bloom period is a fragile period," he said. "If we plant the right varieties in the right place, then most years we'll come through with a pretty good crop. Maybe not a full crop, but a pretty good crop."
Climatologist Knox said there is a trend toward warmer winters in recent years, along with later frosts. The two trends are different in that warm winters are caused by the overall climate, while late frost is caused by weather patterns that occur when the seasons change.

FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN 404-656-3722 agr.georgia.gov

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2020

Harmony Klemp, 8, fell hard for Georgie the Georgia Grown mascot during his visit to Ellijay Elementary School on Valentine's Day, otherwise know as "I Heart Georgia Milk Day."

Got Georgia Grown?

The Georgia Grown brand appeals to all ages in all corners of the state, from Ellijay to Jekyll Island and everywhere in between. Year-round, the Georgia Grown marketing team puts the logo and the wide range of Georgia-grown and Georgia-made products it represents before a diverse audience of consumers.
Over a week's time in February, that effort included three disparate events, starting with Whiskey, Wine and Wildlife, a fundraiser for the Jekyll Island Foundation. Some 30 Georgia Grown members introduced their products to an affluent audience on Jekyll Island, a popular tourist attraction that once served as the winter playground for America's industrial-age millionaires.
Next up was the Georgia Grown Symposium in Macon, an annual gathering of Georgia Grown members for networking and learning more about making a successful agribusiness. Attendees got to see a few successful agribusinesses firsthand

on a farm tour that visited Hardy Peanuts in Hawkinsville, Ellis Bros. Pecans in Vienna and Stripling's General Store in Perry.
And finally, more than 30,000 elementary and middle school students got a taste of Georgia's dairy industry with the first "I Heart Georgia Milk Day," an event that celebrated Georgia's dairy industry in 41 school districts statewide. Georgia Grown Farm to School Coordinator Misty Friedman worked with the Georgia Department of Education to coordinate the event, which included classroom instruction and menu components.
Ricky Martin, the only dairyman still operating in Banks County, visited Banks County Middle School to encourage young consumers to read the labels on milk jugs and buy milk processed in the South. "Georgia's dairy industry is troubled," Martin said. "We used to have 1,600 dairies in the state. Today we've got less than 200."

Georgia Grown Chef Olivia Rader grills burgers and steak from the Reedy Creek Meat Company in Metter. Rader seasoned the meats with products from The Salt Table, Beautiful Briny Sea and Wisham Jellies, then grilled them on a Big Green Egg, a long-time supporter of Georgia Grown. Samples of the beef were handed out to the crowd along with a Spring Mix Salad from Better Fresh Farms in Metter drizzled with Terra Dolce olive oil from Lyons and lemon juice from The Fruit Factory in Pavo.

Nydia and Garrett Ganas of Waycross brought a full complement of pecan products from their fourth-generation farm located about 60 miles west of Jekyll Island. Their product line includes pecan brittle and Cheecans pecaninfused cheese straws.

Jonny Womack, founder of Big Boy Cookies based in Statesboro, discusses his involvement with Georgia Grown on the Atlanta Magazine stage at Whiskey, Wine and Wildlife Feb. 8. Big Boy offers "cookies for grownups" with flavors like Banana Puddin', Jalapeno Corn and Maple Bacon Bourbon.

Banks County Middle School cafeteria staff Juanita Ledford, Amanda Morris, Cindy Low, Peggy Bosclair and Jennah Hamilton dressed for the occasion.
Georgia Grown Symposium:
At Hardy Farms in Hawkinsville, the tour included a view of raw skinless peanuts being oil-roasted.

Maddox Wood Design of Sugar Hill wowed the crowd with custom serving trays and cutting boards, including one specially made for Georgia Grown.

Companies that make valueadded products from Georgia
fruits and vegetables are a big component of the Georgia Grown program. The homegrown product line at Stripling's General Store in Perry was on display at
the farm tour Feb. 12.

The second day of the Georgia Grown Symposium consisted of a farm tour through Middle Georgia. At Ellis Bros. Pecans
in Vienna, the tour saw workers sorting pecans.
