Black: `Help is finally on the way for our farm families'

State will begin accepting applications for Hurricane Michael relief March 18

By Amy Carter

Nearly 18 months after Hurricane Michael struck at the heart of Georgia agriculture, producers in 95 affected counties can finally look forward to a share in federal relief dollars to help them rebuild, repair and replant.
In a joint press conference with Gov. Brian Kemp at the State Capitol Feb. 26, Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary W. Black announced that the department reached a long-awaited agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture for the disbursement of $347 million in disaster aid to address losses suffered by timber, dairy, beef, poultry, fruit and vegetable, and pecan producers. The Georgia Farm Recovery Block Grant program also includes a plan to address certain losses for uninsured infrastructure.
"No one will approach being made whole, but our hope is that these resources will help restore a measure of confidence in the marketplace," Black said.

Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary W. Black and Gov. Brian Kemp were joined by members of the Georgia General Assembly and heads of various state departments Feb. 26 to announce the Georgia Farm Recovery Program for agricultural producers who collectively suffered billions of dollars in losses to Hurricane Michael in October 2018. (Amy Carter/GDA)

A three-week enrollment window will open March 18 and close at midnight on April 8. Applications will be accepted online only at the GDA's dedicated website, www.FarmRecovery.com. Black encouraged affected producers to visit the site prior to March 18 for a checklist of required documentation (also included on Page 15 of this issue) and for updates on the program.
Black said he anticipates disbursing funds to qualified producers in two payments.
"Our goal is to move swiftly" once the application period closes and demand is calculated, he said. "When I say swiftly, I like to believe this will be a spring-time activity. I certainly don't want to go into other seasons of the year before we're finished."
By most accounts Hurricane Michael's winds were still well above 100 mph when the storm crossed into Southwest Georgia on Oct. 10, 2018. Michael was a Category 5 storm at landfall, as measured on the Saffir-Simpson wind scale, with maximum sustained winds of 160 mph. Though

Forestry Matters: Applying for the Farm Recovery Block Grant

By Stasia Kelly Georgia Forestry Commission
As you've likely heard and are reading about elsewhere in the Market Bulletin, federal aid designed to help farmers and forest landowners impacted by Hurricane Michael has been rolled out under the Georgia Farm Recovery Block Grant. Tree farmers in 95 Georgia counties could be eligible for assistance. The sign-up window is short March 18 to April 8 and will be handled entirely online at www.farmrecovery.com.
There, forest landowners can create an ac-

count and apply for assistance for each of their land parcels. Two types of funding will be available for timber: Comprehensive or Self-certification. Comprehensive will have a higher per-acre payment rate than self-certification but will require additional documentation, such as an IRS 4684 Casualty Loss Form. The exact per-acre payment for each funding level will be based on the overall demand for funding.
We are thankful for the tireless efforts of Gov. Brian Kemp and Georgia Department of Agricul-

ture Commissioner Gary Black

to secure this needed funding

for Georgia landowners. Go to

www.farmrecovery.com for the

latest information.

the many benefits of trees including clean air and water, homes for wildlife, thousands of products and jobs, energy savings, beautification and much more.
Georgia's Arbor Day is always held on the third Friday in February, which this year was Feb. 21. It coincides with Georgia's ideal tree planting season, which runs from December through March.
Many Arbor Day events honored Tree City USA locations. Tree City is a program of the National Arbor Day Foundation that recognizes cities actively protecting their tree canopies through municipal funding, advocacy

Enrollment portal is open to prospective hemp processors seeking state permitting GDA, USDA working to approve plan for grower licenses

By Amy Carter
amy.carter@agr.georgia.gov
On March 2, the Georgia Department of Agriculture activated its online application portal for those desiring to process and handle hemp at any location in Georgia. The Hemp Processor Permit Application can be found online at www.agr.georgia.gov/georgia-hempprogram.aspx.
Any person processing or intending to process hemp must have a valid Hemp Processor Permit before receiving, processing, handling or storing hemp. A valid permit means the permit has been issued and is unexpired, unsuspended and unrevoked. Processor permits are issued annually. The initial permit fee is $25,000. The annual renewal fee is currently set at $10,000.
As part of their applications, processors must submit to the state department of agriculture supporting documentation as outlined in

the Georgia Hemp Processor Permit Application Guide printed on Page 14 of this issue and posted online at www.agr.georgia.gov/georgia-hemp-program.aspx.

Georgia's Hemp Program FDA rules about the use of Cannabis and
Cannabis-derived products (including Cannabidiol or CBD oil) The full text of HB 213, Georgia's Hemp Farming Act USDA Hemp Production Program Questions and Answers.
The GDA and USDA are still working out details of the state's grower license program. Updates on that process will be posted online at www.agr.georgia.gov/georgiahemp-program.aspx.
The 2014 Farm Bill made limited allow-

ances for hemp cultivation. The 2018 Farm Bill fully legalized hemp as a commercial crop under regulation by the USDA or individual state departments of agriculture. In Georgia, growers and processors must be licensed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture.
Hemp is defined as the Cannabis sativa L. plant and any part of the plant, including the seeds and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts and salts of isomers. Whether growing or not, the plant must have a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration of no more than 0.3 percent on a dry-weight basis to comply with the Georgia Hemp Farming Act.
Essentially the same plant as marijuana, the distinction lies in the concentration of THC, the primary intoxicant in marijuana. Federal law defines Cannabis sativa L. as hemp when it contains less than 0.3 percent THC by dry weight. The THC content of marijuana typically ranges from five to 20 percent.

My Tractor Story: One thing leads to another

By Lee Lancaster lee.lancaster@agr.georgia.gov

One of Hamilton Halford's earliest memories of the farm was mowing a pecan orchard with a John Deere 620 Orchard Special, a rare tractor very few people have ever seen. After graduating from school and working for a few years, he began to look for that 620 from his childhood. The hunt led him to other rare pieces including an orange John Deere 330 with mower. All John Deere 330s are rare. Less than 1,800 were made from 1958 through 1960. Seventy-six were painted yellow, four were red, and only two were painted orange. A man from Tennessee once asked Halford if he knew anyone who might be interested in buying a 330. He said he might be. When he got there, he saw orange beneath the peeling paint of that 330. Halford learned that the tractor was originally painted orange when it was used to mow rights-of-way in Ohio in the 1960s. He restored it to its original color and equipped it with a mower, just like it would have been back then.

Cook Georgia Grown: White Chicken Chili

This recipe is the winning entry from Brooks County High School in Quitman for the annual high school Student Chef Competition held at Helms College in Macon on Feb. 20. The students used Georgia-grown ingredients such as red onions, Jalapeno peppers, tomatoes and green bell peppers. They will take this recipe to the Southeast regional competition on May 7 and 8 in Louisville, Ky.
Ingredients
Chili: 15 oz or about 8 pieces chicken 1 Jalapeno pepper 3 garlic cloves 24 oz chicken broth (low sodium) 15 oz Cannellini beans 6 oz diced green chilies 1 Tbsp Cumin, ground tsp salt, kosher tsp black pepper tsp red chili flakes tsp Cayenne pepper oz margarine cup cilantro (save half for salsa)

Pico de Gallo salsa: 1 medium tomato 2 cups red onion cup green bell pepper 2 Tbsps cilantro 1 Tbsp lime juice
Garnish: 4 oz avocado 1 oz shredded yellow cheese cup sour cream 1 oz fried tortilla strips, spinach and white
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F to roast chicken pieces for 20-30 minutes.
Blend cup of beans with a splash of chicken broth in a frying pan. In a sauce pot or steam kettle, add margarine and heat over medium-high heat to warm, then add onion, jalapeno, green chilis and saut for 7 minutes or until softened.
Remove bones and place chicken in

oven and heat to 165 F.
Add garlic to the sauce pot and saut for 1-2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, chicken and beans in the sauce pot, stir, then add lime juice, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, red chili flakes, cayenne pepper and bring to a boil. Allow mixture to boil gently for 7-10 minutes. Add water to thin chili as desired. Add half of the cilantro and boil for 1 minute (the rest will be added to the Pico de Gallo salsa).
While the chili cooks, prepare the Pico de Gallo salsa for garnish. Combine diced tomato, onion, bell pepper and in a bowl with lime juice and reminder of cilantro. Let sit.
Serve chili with Pico de Gallo, sour cream, sliced avocado, shredded cheese and tortilla strips. Serves 6.

Georgie's Drive Thru Sgoda
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our No. 1 industry agriculture! My family lives below the Gnat Line, aka the Atlantic Seaboard Fall Line, where the Piedmont meets the Coastal Plain. Many important Georgia cities are located on the Fall Line Augusta, Macon and Columbus, for example. These towns were settled because river-going vessels could carry their cargo only so far inland before they hit rocky outcrops, like the shoals near Juliette. Sandersville, Toombsboro and Dry Branch gained importance with the discovery of what's underneath the Fall Line, a mineral called kaolin. I talked to an engineer at the KaMin mine near Sgoda the other day about kaolin's uses. It gives paper its glossy appearance on magazine covers. Kaolin is also added to paint and ink to give them a longer lasting color. Kaolin is used in wires, cables, plastics, car tires, cement, receipts, lottery tickets, pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. Because 30 people a year trespass in mines and lose their lives, the folks at the Georgia Mining Association have an important message: Stay out! Stay alive! That's good advice to keep in mine!

TRESPASSING KILLS
Over 30 deaths per year occur due to trespassing in mines. Drowning is the leading cause of death, followed by ATV accidents. Georgia Mining Association is committed to reducing trespassing.
To preserve your safety, trespassers will be prosecuted.

Guest Column: How 'bout them apples?

By Josh Fuder UGA Extension Agent
Up until about five years ago I had never really given much thought or consideration to apples. I was born with horticultural genes inherited from my mother and grandfather, but apples were green and tart or red and sweet to me. I knew more about the various devices bearing an apple logo than the history and intricacies of apples. That all changed when my wife and I bought our house that happened to come with 20-some apple trees of various varieties.
As my apples started ripening that first summer into fall, I became introduced to the wide world of apples through charac-

ters like "King David," "Jonathan," "Grimes Golden," "Lady" and others. And just like characters in a good book these varieties came with interesting histories, flavors and personalities.
The history of "Grimes Golden" is particularly well documented. The best information is that a pioneer settler, Edward Cranford, planted an orchard from seeds in Brooks County, W.Va., around 1790. The farm was sold to Thomas Grimes in 1802, who found one particular tree that produced a fine, golden fruit with excellent quality and keeping ability. These qualities led to it being replicated by grafting with entire orchards being planted for commercial purposes.
Eventually the original "parent" tree met its end in 1905 when it was blown over with a full load of nearly ripe apples. The tree was so important that gavels were made from the wood of the old tree and given to prominent men in the area. And to this day there is a granite monument where that old tree lived on State Route 27 two-and-a-half miles east of Wellsburg in the Grimes Golden Apple Park.
The apple has high genetic variability which is part of the reason why we have more than 7,500 known varieties and cultivars, many of which are chance seedlings. At one point there were close to 1,600 cultivars grown in the South. In 2010 the genome of "Golden Delicious," whose parent is "Grimes Golden," was sequenced. It contained about 57,000 genes, the highest number of any plant genome studied to date and more genes than humans.
Since apples must be cross-pollinated, we cannot plant the seeds from that fruit and expect the variety to have the same characteristics of the mother tree. So when a desirable variety is discovered, or bred in more modern times, cuttings from that tree are taken and propagated asexually. This type of propagation, also referred to as clonal, can be done by rooting these cuttings but most often it is through grafting. Grafting is a horticultural technique that attaches the desired variety or scion to a rootstock or branch to another variety. So the "Grimes Golden" in my backyard is an exact clone of the original tree that was planted as a seed around 1790 and died in 1905.
If you are interested in learning how to graft, Cherokee County Extension will be hosting two apple grafting sessions on Thursday, March 26 at the Ball Ground Community Center. Classes will be from 2 p.m. until 4:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. until

Apple scions used for grafting to produce new varieties.
(Photo by Leslie Wade)
8 p.m. Each session will start with a lecture on the science behind grafting and will then be fully hands-on.
Participants will be provided with all the materials needed to graft including five semi-dwarf rootstocks and a wide variety of scions to choose from. So if you would like to acquire a "Grime's Golden" or another of the 46 varieties that will be available, don't miss out on this class.
This type of propagation sounds advanced. I assure you it is quite simple. Last year we had 62 people attend our grafting class from across the state and all but a handful had no prior grafting experience. In following up with everyone since last year the average success rate of the grafts was 80 percent.

USDA-NRCS is accepting applications for conservation easements

ATHENS State Conservationist Terrance O. Rudolph, for the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service in Georgia announced a sign-up for the 2020 Agricultural Conservation Easement Program. To be considered for the fiscal year 2020 funding pool, applications must be submitted by March 31, 2020.
The ACEP, created through the 2014 Farm Bill and reauthorized in the 2018 Farm Bill, is a program that has two

ble partners. These eligible entities may submit proposals to NRCS to acquire a conservation easement on eligible agricultural land. NRCS does not accept applications for ACEPALE directly from producers. Producers will need to work with an eligible entity to pursue funding for an ACEP-ALE conservation easement. Some examples of eligible entities include county boards of commissioners, land trusts and land conservancies.

"ACEP's ability to help different types of landowners gives NRCS some unique tools to find the conservation solution right for our customers," said Rudolph. "We encourage Indian tribes, state and local governments, non-governmental

ducers on eligible lands. These easements will restore and enhance wetlands and improve habitat. Eligible lands include farmed, prior converted or forested wetlands that can

type they are interested in. Approved ACEP-ALE easements would prevent productive working lands from being converted to non-agricultural uses and maximize protection of land devoted to food production. Cropland, rangeland, grassland, pastureland and nonindustrial private forestland are eligible.

Georgia Grown Profile: Big Daddy Biscuits

By Alexandra Woodford
Lauren Janis is the owner of Big Daddy Biscuits, an Atlanta-based company that makes all natural and organic dog biscuits. Janis first got the idea to start her own dog treat business from her niece and nephew while looking to take her career in a new direction. Her niece and nephew tossed around a few names and felt that "Big Daddy Biscuits" was the perfect name for the business since Janis' rescue dog named Big Daddy would be the head dog in charge, taste-testing all of the products.
This is a non-discriminatory dog biscuit company as one of her goals was to create treats that all dogs would be able to eat.
"I say that dogs are like people," she said.

"We don't eat everything."
Therefore, all treats available for purchase contain simple ingredients. Janis regularly visits farmers markets and feels that if she has the luxury of knowing where her food comes from, owners and their beloved pups should be granted the same opportunity. Her products contain benefits that vary from bettering a dog's digestion to curbing its bad breath or flatulence.
The treats are made with or without grain, including a grain-free peanut butter that

takes only four ingredients to make. Turkey bacon or crunchy peanut butter flavored biscuits are also offered if you're looking for treats that contain grain.
"As my mother once said, if you were stranded and needed something to eat, these would help you sustain yourself," Janis said.
She launched Big Daddy Biscuits as a vendor at the Marietta Square Farmers Market. Other vendors there encouraged her to become a member of Georgia Grown, the marketing and eco-

nomic development initiative of the Georgia Department of Agriculture. Janis found that a membership gave her the chance to learn how to promote her business and gain more support in numerous new ways, so she jumped at the opportunity. Janis said being a member of Georgia Grown is an honor, and as a plus, her customers love seeing the Georgia Grown logo on her products, adding another level of pride in what she does.
"To be able to shout to the world that we are from Georgia, have the support of a community and our state that wants to help small businesses flourish...and having the encouragement and resources to help us grow and succeed is just amazing," Janis said.

Forestry Matters: The difference a year makes

the storm weakened rapidly as it tracked inland from Donalsonville, it destroyed what promised to be a record cotton crop worth an estimated $300 million-$800 million. Timber accounted for $1 billion of the $2.5 billion in damages to farming interests.
Within weeks of the storm, former Gov. Nathan Deal called the General Assembly into special session to approve a $270 million disaster aid package that included $55 million in direct loans to affected producers. The General Assembly funded an additional $20 million worth of loans under Kemp's leadership in early 2019.
Black said 276 loans averaging $280,000 per producer came out of those allocations, and many of the recipients would not be farming today if it weren't for that initial action.
Rep. Sam Watson, R-Moultrie, a vegetable grower and member of the House Agriculture and Consumer Affairs Committee, said the federal block grant program offers hope to that population of producers who were unable to participate in the state's loan program.
"The ripple effects of this are going to be tremendous," Watson said. "Good things come to those who wait, and I think this is going to be great for not only the farmers but for local communities and it will be another step in rebuilding because we're going to be rebuilding for a long time."
State Rep. Tom McCall, R-Elberton, chair of the House Agriculture and Consumer Affairs Committee, said the block grant funds will help stabilize economies in rural southwest Georgia and start farm families on the long road to recovery.
"I'm proud for Southwest Georgia to finally get some stability, as little as it may be. It's time. Some farmers lost everything they had in the field and I worry about the pecan people probably more than anybody because it takes a lifetime for a pecan tree to be replanted and then back in production," McCall said.

and education. Tree Campus and Tree Line programs honor universities and utilities, respectively, for the same criteria.
Here's a sampling of the special activities with which GFC was involved, in recognition of Arbor Day: Augusta-Richmond County Arbor Day
at Pendleton King Park in Augusta, Feb. 7. Celebrating its 29th year as a Tree City! Nine new oaks and crape myrtles planted in the park, along with a tree planting demo and seedling give-away. State Arbor Day in Macon, Feb. 12. Special education sessions for arborists and tree advocates; Tree City recognitions. Macon-specific Arbor Day, Feb. 20, during which two flowering cherry trees were planted in front of the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame and Macon announced its designation as a "Tree City of the World."

Winterville Arbor Day, Feb. 20. In the driving rain, Winterville Elementary students came out to read poems and help plant a bald cypress.
Georgia Southern University, Feb. 21. Students and staff learned about the benefits of trees as they work toward becoming a Tree Campus USA. Twenty 10-to15-gallon trees and 100+ seedlings were planted. Other locations marking Arbor Day
in February and March include: Athens, Cumming, Good Hope, Monroe, Lexington, Dahlonega, Woodbine and Dunwoody,

where National Arbor Day President Dan Lambe, Georgia Forestry Commission Director Chuck Williams and other dignitaries led a tree planting ceremony and Trees Atlanta volunteers planted 200 trees in Brook Run Park!
And... if it happens to be raining today and you're feeling blue, just remember this: it was a short five months ago that Georgia was experiencing a record drought and wildfire danger was extremely high. Time now to be grateful that two out of every three raindrops that fall in Georgia fall on forestland!
