COVID-19 redefines laws of supply, demand

Produce growers fret over lost buyers Dairy farmers struggle with dumping orders

Bill Brim has heard the stories from friends in Florida about farmers who have plowed squash, beans and other produce into the ground because there is nowhere to sell them. He had to mow a couple of fields of collards at Lewis Taylor Farms in Tift County, but it hasn't gotten bad enough to start taking those types of losses elsewhere.
"It's really got us worried where the markets are going to be when we get everything coming in like bell peppers, cucumbers, squash and eggplant," he said. "We just have to see, but I tell you one thing, if it's 50-60 percent off, you can come on over and get my farm."
That reality is faced by Georgia's produce farmers who have been affected more so by the COVID-19 economic shutdown than other growers. It's bad all around for agriculture, but for vegetable and fruit growers, timing is essential to getting crops harvested and to shippers.
"When produce gets ready, you've got to pick it. It ain't like going to a grocery store and getting a can of fruit or vegetables," Brim
See PRODUCE GROWERS, page 13

As a consumer, it's hard to reconcile images of thousands of gallons of deliberately spilled milk with visions of empty dairy cases at the local grocery. Or full dairy cases plastered with signs limiting the quantities consumers can buy. It's been tough for the dairy industry to understand, too.
That's because the COVID-19 outbreak is hitting milk producers at peak production, during the so-called "spring flush."
"Dairy cows produce more milk between February and May than any other time of year. The climate is right, it's not real cold, it's not real hot, they're out grazing, the grass is growing really fast. It's just that time of year when everything starts coming alive, and dairy cows are no different," said Matt Johnson, owner of Providence Dairy in Climax, a town about 10 miles east of Bainbridge.
Typically, the extra milk goes to balancing plants. There are two that receive milk from Georgia producers one in Alabama that makes processed cheese, and a second that removes the water from milk to make condensed products.

Guest Column: Read labels, exercise caution when using disinfectants

By Michael Merchant, PhD, BCE
Professor and Extension Urban Entomologist
Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service
DALLAS, TEXAS What do "pest control" and public health campaigns against SARS CoV-2 have in common? Both activities use pesticides. In the eyes of the law, sanitizer and disinfectant products are considered pesticides. And if you're a little wary of using pesticides, you should exercise the same caution when choosing and using a disinfectant.
Let's start with some basics. The term "pesticide" refers to any substance or mixture of substances used to prevent, destroy, repel or mitigate a pest. All pesticides are regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which gets to decide if, how and where they can be used.
Pesticides that fight microbes are generally called antimicrobials. Antimicrobials that fight germs affecting human health can be further classified as sanitizers, disinfectants, virucides and sterilants.
About 275 active ingredients are found in antimicrobials, and must have an EPA-approved label (a few sanitizer products such as alcohol gels for use on skin are considered drugs rather than pesticides, and are regulated as such by the Food and Drug Administration). Most of the effective products that fight the SARS-CoV-2 virus (the virus that causes coronavirus or COVID-19) are considered disinfectants or virucides.
Since January we've watched endless news clips of sanitary workers cleaning surfaces, and even entire buildings, with disinfectants. Shopping for groceries has become an adventure in disinfectant wipes and hand sanitizer. And the empty shelves in the cleaning supply sections of stores attest to our new obsession with clean, clean, clean!
But how many of us stop to consider the health effects of disinfectants, or to read the labels on these products? If you find yourself using disinfectants, or touching disinfectant-treated surfaces, now's an excellent time to brush up on disinfectant safety. Specifically let's review some of the important things we all need to know about reading and understanding disinfectant labels.
Read the label Unlike instructions on a box of mac and cheese, instructions on
a disinfectant label are the law, not suggestions. Using even a little more disinfectant than the label allows in a cleaning solution or failing to wear the proper safety gear specified on the label, to give two examples, is a violation of state and federal pesticide laws. Look for an EPA registration number (see label to right). This is a unique number that tells you the product has been reviewed

by the EPA and allows you to reference it. For example, the EPA has developed a list of all disinfectants that are believed to be effective against the SARS-CoV-2 virus (List N). If you want to know whether your disinfectant is likely to be effective against coronavirus, you can look it up by its registration number. Read the precautionary statements. Precautionary statements include specific requirements on what you must wear when applying the product. If you're an employer or supervisor, it's critical you provide training to ensure employees know disinfectant instructions and have the proper safety equipment. In a recent case, employees of a large company were told to switch from mild green-cleaning agents to a powerful disinfectant to deal with the coronavirus emergency. Not used to the new product, janitorial staff became ill and suffered red, itchy skin and burning eyes. Pay attention to contact times on the disinfectant label. Many disinfectants must remain wet on surfaces for an extended time (usually 1 to 10 minutes) to effectively kill viruses and bacteria. Don't assume you can immediately wipe down a surface that you treat with a disinfectant. When deciding on a safe disinfectant to use in your home or workplace, consider the signal word. The signal word provides a quick reference to the relative hazard associated with using a product. One of three signal words DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION must be on the front panel of any disinfectant product. DANGER signals the highest warning. Such products may be highly toxic when ingested or may induce irreversible eye or skin damage if used without proper protective gear. WARNING labeled products are moderately toxic if ingested or may cause reversible skin or eye irritation. CAUTION labeled products will be the least hazardous, and would be best for home environments, especially where children are present. Pay attention to what surfaces the disinfectant is designed to be used on, and what kind of application methods are allowed by the label. If a product is labeled for use on hard, non-porous environmental surfaces, it shouldn't be used on carpet or furniture. Something designed to be applied with a sponge should not be used in a fogger or sprayer. Care should be taken with even with the simplest task of removing disinfectant wipes from their plastic tubs. We have reports of people getting disinfectant in their eyes from tiny droplets erupting when towels are pulled too quickly from the container.
Treat all disinfectants with the same respect you would any pesticide. Since coronavirus began its spread, the EPA has been receiving more health-related emergency calls about improper use of disinfectants. One common problem occurs when people use Clorox wipes to wipe their faces not good. One couple thought they could drink bleach to cure COVID-19. And there are many more cases of people being hurt by mixing chlorine- and ammonia-containing products (resulting in production of the toxic gas, ammonium chloride). None of these are good ideas and none are recommended on the label.
Our office provides training throughout the year to folks in the pest control, public health and outdoor landscape maintenance industries. One of the things we drill into our students is the importance of reading the label for safety and legal purposes. All of us need to exercise the same caution when using disinfectant products. They are, after all, pesticides.

Georgie's Drive Thru Gainesville
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our No. 1 industry agriculture! Have you ever made a model of the solar system? You know, take a couple of coat hangers and paint some Styrofoam balls, then turn it in during science class. Well, somebody built a scale model of our solar system in downtown Gainesville about 20 years ago. It serves as a walking tour that covers nearly two miles in the downtown area from start to finish. At the starting point on the town square is a model of the sun. A large polished ball is fixed atop a pedestal that describes the solar system, the speed of light, the size of the sun and lots of other information that I had forgotten through the years. Each planet and the asteroid belt are represented by similar pedestals. The sun's pedestal also shows the scale of the model, which is 2 billion miles=1 mile, so each celestial body is spaced out to scale from the sun. The closer planets of Mercury, Venus, Earth and Earth's moon are all in the town square with the sun monument. Mars, the asteroid belt and Jupiter are nearby and across the street. The rest of the system is scattered throughout the downtown area. Being true to scale, Pluto is 1.83 miles from the sun in Longwood Park!
The sun always shines in Gainesville. (Lee Lancaster/GDA)

Cook Georgia Grown: Tamale Pie with Vidalia onions

-Adapted from Serious Eats Tamal de Cazuela
Ingredients
For masa crust: 3 cups masa harina (found in the Mexican or
baking section of the grocery store Maseca is a widespread brand) 3 cups chicken broth cup cold shortening 1 tsp salt 2 tsps baking powder
For the filling: 1 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs 2 Vidalia onions, sliced thinly 2 Tbsps canola oil 6 cloves garlic 1 tsps ground cumin 1 tsps ground coriander tsp ground cloves tsp ground allspice 1 tsp dried thyme 1 tsp dried oregano 2 canned chipotles in adobo, plus 1 Tbsp
adobo sauce 2 Tbsps tomato paste

2 Tbsps pepper jelly 2 Tbsps apple cider vinegar 2 cups chicken stock 1 can of black or pinto beans with liquid 1 orange, half zested, then juiced 3 Tbsps masa
Directions
Make masa dough: Combine masa and chicken stock in a bowl and mix thoroughly until smooth. In another larger bowl, combine shortening, salt, and baking powder. Using a mixer, whip shortening mixture together. Add 1/4 of masa dough into shortening mixture at a time, beating between each addition until thoroughly incorporated. Cover and refrigerate.
Preheat broiler and lightly coat 4 unpeeled cloves of the garlic with olive or canola oil. Roast until soft, about 5 minutes. Peel garlic and set aside. Roughly chop remaining 2 cloves.
Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a large, heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium high heat. Remove any excess moisture from chicken thighs. Season with salt and pepper. Brown

chicken thighs in batches, and set aside.
Add half of the onions and saut until soft, charred in spots and golden. Transfer to another container and reserve. Continue to saut remaining onions, adding more oil as necessary. Add chopped garlic to the pot and saut until fragrant. Add spices, chipotles and adobo sauce, pepper jelly and tomato paste and saut until fragrant and darkened slightly. Add orange juice, vinegar and chicken stock and transfer mixture to a blender with roasted garlic. Puree until smooth, then place puree back in the pot with chicken thighs and let mixture simmer until reduced and thickened slightly, about 30 minutes.
Remove chicken thighs from the pot and shred. Place back into the pot with the reserved onions, masa, and can of black beans and let simmer for another 10 minutes until thickened and flavors have melded completely.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Rehydrate masa dough by whipping again with a couple of tablespoons of water. Lightly

grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet or 3-quart casserole dish. Scrape 2/3 of masa dough into the skillet and press to form an even layer on the bottom and sides of pan. Add 2 cups of the filling, and gently form a top crust with remaining filling, folding the edges down slightly to bind together.
Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool slightly before serving, then slice and serve with sour cream, hot sauce and cilantro.

COVID-19: Healthful living benefits immunity

By Salima Makhani, MS
Mercer University School of Medicine
Year 3 Student
Today more than ever we appreciate the human body. This body gives us energy when we are happy. It listens and cries when we are sad. It pushes us to make that homerun on the baseball field. And it learns to fight against disease.
COVID-19 may be a mysterious virus our body hasn't encountered before, but every day the medical and research communities are learning and moving one step closer to finding the cure. Until then, let's use this time at home to heal and strengthen ourselves. It is never too late to take control and change the way we live. By making the decision to stop smoking, the better controlled your diabetes and hypertension will be and the better you will be able to fight off this virus. By being the best version of ourselves, we can be there for those we love most. As you start your day, take a second to clear the mind and be present in this very moment. No matter how big the pandemic is right now, our faith, love and belief in one another is much stronger than our fears. With a clear mind, we turn to the body. Just like a gardener, we need to water our bodies and drink at least eight glasses of water a day. When it comes to food, remember to "eat the rainbow" and include up to seven vegetables and three servings of fresh, local fruit every day. Try making a breakfast dish with avocado and bright red apples, spread the berry jam on whole grain toast, slice open an orange, saut those colorful bell peppers, sprinkle some parsley on the chicken and simmer soft tomatoes in some broth. All these foods (and many more) are a great source

of vitamins and minerals, such as zinc, that research has shown to make our bodies stronger to fight off diseases. If you need help finding healthy food for your family, the Georgia Food for Health program is a great resource.
The spring-time breeze makes this a great time to go out and get at least 30 minutes of exercise every day. Whether it be walking around the neighborhood with six feet of distance from others, or taking a stroll along a nature trail, allow yourself to get out and breathe. Go fishing or sit out by the creek on a sunny day. For those who have health problems, take it slow and enjoy activities at your own pace. Any effort to be active is a step in the right direction.
As you wind down and prepare to rest, set up a bed-time ritual; sleep has been shown to do wonders for the body. By dimming the lights, lighting a candle, drinking warm tea, reading a book or saying a prayer, our body begins to secrete melatonin, which has shown to help calm down our immune system and allow our body to recover through the night.
Trying to rest your mind and nourish your body with food and activities may be difficult when you are separated from the people you love. If you are missing a loved one who is far away, send a handwritten note in the mail or drop off a flower on your friend's doorstep to stay connected. If you have an old computer lying around, send it to granny and help her learn how to video chat. Mail a flip phone to someone you love just to hear their voice. Social-distance-friendly scavenger hunts around the neighborhood, anyone?
Even though we are living in a time where we are physically far away from our family and friends, you are not alone. We are all in this together.
Now as this article comes to an end, take a moment to breathe and count down from 10 with me -- 10) rest, digest, let go of the stress, 9) let your light shine, 8) glasses of water a day, 7) hours of sleep, 6) feet of faithful distance, 5) servings of veggies, 4) go out and play some more, 3) servings of fruit, 2) cherish the mind and body, 1) breath is truly a blessing...

My Tractor Story: Short or tall, the Oliver 66 served them all
By Lee Lancaster lee.lancaster@agr.georgia.gov
Johnny Holland's father-in-law, Julius Perkins, bought this 1952 Oliver 66 row crop new from a Cochran Buick dealer, along with bottom plow, harrow and cultivators. Julius was one of three Perkins brothers, along with Max and "Cub," who farmed in southern Bleckley County near Empire. While the tractor was on display at this year's Roddy Roundup at Greene Acres Farm in Cochran, Mr. Holland pointed out a board under the seat that matched the Oliver Green paint. "Cub" Perkins by all accounts "a short man" used the board to lift the seat up higher than normal, allowing him to operate the tractor. The Oliver 66 was a part of the Fleetline Series that was built from 1948-1954. The 66 had a 4-cylinder Waukesha gas engine that produced 27 horsepower. Mr. Holland's fatherin-law gave him the tractor about seven years ago. He displays it at local shows and parades with the Ocmulgee Antique Truck and Tractor Club.

if half of the typical farm gate value of Georgia produce between $500 million and $750 million cannot be recovered. "I realize that's a broad range, but that's historically where we're going to be. Saying that 50 percent of the produce goes
into food service if you look at that low number, that $500 million, and we lose 50 percent of that market or let's just say even 40 percent, we could look at it as a loss of $200 million and upwards of $400 million," Hall said.
Hall said growers are looking at different solutions that would help until the economy restarts. They have considered developing more direct sales from farms to consumers. However, Hall noted one problem is the distance between consumers, most living in urban and suburban areas of the north, and farmers mostly in South Georgia.
Hall added that online purchases have potential since many farmers grow a variety of crops to sell. "The problem that growers have is that they are not used to selling on a box basis. They're used to selling on a pallet or truckload basis, so there will be some challenges with that."
Russ Goodman of Cogdell Berry Farms in Homerville said he has a great crop of blueberries this year and is also concerned where he can market them. Goodman said blueberry harvests come in waves. The first wave did well, but he wonders what will happen when the second and third waves of blueberries are picked in the coming months.
Goodman said his co-op has worked to deliver directly to stores as commercial distributors have trouble keeping their centers staffed. Food banks are another route they are trying. Goodman noted news of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos pledging $100 million to food banks to help in feeding increased numbers of unemployed, so he has contacted food banks in Lowndes

and particularly local farmers in a way that may be a reckoning on how the country gets food. "I hope that when we come back from this that people realize you've got to keep the American farmer in business, and
I hope programs like Georgia Grown and Sweet Home Alabama and Fresh From Florida have more meaning to people because of what's going on," Goodman said.

Paul Thompson, deputy director of Georgia Grown, said his office is looking for ways to get produce directly from farms to schools that continue to distribute meals to students, many of whom depend on school meals each day as their main source of food.
Thompson said Georgia Grown is also working to find ways to utilize freezer space across state farmers markets and private distributors for processing and storing fruits and vegetables. He said all the efforts show promise but are in the early stages of development.
"I've been on the phone this morning with some tenants at the markets to see if there are some freezer space or processing facilities that we could use and put this together," Thompson said. "I feel like there are no dumb ideas at this point. We have got to do something that we've never done before, so it's going to take somebody thinking, and I hate the words `outside the box,' but we have to be thinking atypically to figure out something that's never been done or else. Food services aren't there to take up that slack, so we have got to figure something else out."

Community farmers markets make changes to conduct safe commerce during COVID-19 epidemic

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
Local farmers markets across Georgia face a tough decision whether to open this spring as the state remains under a shelter-in-place order to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus. While several markets have closed, others have moved operations online or instituted social distancing rules for vendors and patrons.
Relinda Williams, manager of the Statesboro Farmers Market, said they already had an online purchase option in place. That allowed them to close the Saturday morning market and go 100 percent online.
"We thought that we would be best off not opening the Saturday market, which for us is a very social thing," Williams said. "There are crowds and it's definitely very social with people sitting down at the tables to eat some of the prepared foods and things like that. We thought we would be better off turning our attention to the online part of our business. In fact, we've turned it into a drive-thru operation."
The Statesboro market uses an online tool called Market 2 Go (www.locallygrown.net), which provides virtual space for vendors to sell their produce and value-added products. The online market is open Friday through Tuesday. Customers make their choices on the website and the system distributes the orders to the farmers and producers. They bring their items to the market's pick-up location on Wednesday, where market staff and volunteers sort the orders to be ready for pick-up on Thursday.
Williams said the online service had been informal before COVID-19. Now that the market is entirely online, business has boomed.
"That was a crazy big jump even when we went to the first week, like $4,000, and

by the second week, it was more than double that at $10,500," she said. "We just closed the orders for this week's pickup (April 9), and it's at $16,700."
Other markets have decided to open but with reduced hours and social distancing rules to keep vendors and patrons safe. Greg Dennis, manager of the Cotton Mill Market in Carrollton, said the market had always been well attended with people enjoying the spring weather. Now, it's different.
"Normally we would have a hospitality tent set up with tables and chairs and coffee where people can lounge and visit. Now we don't set that up because we're trying to discourage people from staying," he said. "That may be strange for a farmers market, but we're trying to discourage hospitality."
Cotton Mill vendors set up 10 feet apart, and market organizers are instructing pa-

trons to keep the recommended six feet of distance away from one another even when they are in line to purchase from a vendor.
"The customers have caught on quickly and understand the necessity for it," he said. "It has not impacted attendance. We would normally be a four-hour market this time of year, but we are staying with our winter hours at two hours and trying to encourage people to get in, get their stuff and get out."
Dennis said the first week saw the same panic-buying as grocery stores, but demand has calmed since.
"It was the same number of customers in week two and by week three, it was less intense but basically the same number of customers," he said. "They seemed to realize that they don't have to be there between 9 and 9:15 a.m. to get what they want."
Katie and Dave Bridges of Chewy's

Backyard Farm had sold their produce at the Dallas Farmers Market but are now doing so on their website, get an error trying to access, probably because of hyphen using Google Forms. People can visit the website, select what they want from the produce the Bridges' have for sale, and then pick it up on Saturdays.
The Dallas Farmers Market is using the online Local Harvest service to promote its vendors. The Bridges have also tried to find new markets on their own. A bakery in Marietta invited them to come out and sell to their customers. The Bridges also contacted their local chamber of commerce to get on a list of open businesses.
"We started growing hydroponic lettuce this year, and we've actually had a couple of orders from restaurants in Cedartown," Katie Bridges said. "A lot of them are trying to buy local because some are having trouble getting their orders filled from their big commercial suppliers."
Bridges said she remains optimistic as she wonders what life will be like after the threat of COVID-19 subsides. She believes the current experience may cause people to seek out more locally grown foods.
"I'm hoping that some of us smaller farmers can pick up the slack and still be able to provide produce, but I think you'll see a change. And I think the smaller farmers will survive," Katie Bridges said. "It'll be rough, but I think the tenacity that comes with being a farmer will get us through this."
Locally Grown is a network of hundreds of farmers markets across Georgia. Go to www.locallygrown.net to find a farmers market near you.
Local Harvest provides online space for farmers markets, farmers and producers to sell their products directly to customers. Go to www.localharvest.org for more information.

The University of Georgia Extension Service released guidance for farmers markets operating during the COVID-19 pandemic. See that guidance online at https://extension.uga.edu/topic-areas/timely-topics/emergencies.html and on the facing page.

Open for Business

spection are operating similarly. However, like the seed lab staff, most members of the Animal Industry staff have no choice but to report to their usual workspaces.
"We have staff in the field that are having to cover inspected meat establishments. That's something that we haven't stopped doing. We basically have about 82 of Animal Industry's 150 staff that are out in the field just about every day doing meat inspections, livestock market inspections, doing market news, disease investigations," Buuck said.
"We have directed them to maintain social distancing, we've provided them with (personal protective equipment) like gloves and masks and hand sanitizer. We're just asking them to be as safe as possible while they're conducting their mandatory duties. But this stuff has to continue in order for the production chain to continue."
State Chemist and Tifton Lab Director John Shugart, whose facility provides the science behind the investigations of several divisions including Ag Inputs and Fuel and Measures is supplementing those efforts by developing hand sanitizer for field staff who could be at risk due to shortages of commercial hand sanitizer.
As word leaked of his efforts, Shugart entertained a great deal of internal interest in that project but stressed that handwashing with soap and water is still the best prevention. He then deflected attention to Seed Lab manager Dedria "DeeDee" Smith and her staff.
Unable to ride out the COVID-19 storm at home, Smith's group shows up daily sometimes working 12-hour days to conduct germination tests on peanut seeds. Samples come to the Tifton lab from Georgia as well as Alabama, Florida and Texas, and growers await those results before planting in late spring when the soil temperature consistently measures 70 degrees or higher.
Testing was critical this year, according to Don Koehler, director of the Georgia Peanut Commission in Tifton. Quality issues with some varieties have doubled testing requirements on some samples at the lab.
Despite budget restrictions forced on state agencies last fall that prevented Smith from hiring her usual complement of temporary workers to help with the rush of peanut season, the seed lab processed 1,113 more peanut samples in March 2020 than in March 2019, in addition to about 1,000 samples of various other crops.
The germination tests the lab performs inform the planting decisions of farmers in the Southeast. None of those tests can be performed from a lab worker's home, and growers would be flying blind without the data the lab provides, Koehler said.
"None of (the lab employees) have been working from home. None of them have been sheltering at home. They've been in that lab, made early adjustments for the six-foot rule, and the job they did is phenomenal, and I hope the people on that staff know how much they're appreciated by the farmers."

Dairy Farmers
Continued From Page 1
"Both plants, customers of their milk are almost exclusively food service," Johnson said. That demand fell off a cliff when schools statewide were closed, and restaurants were ordered to cease dine-in service to help stop the spread of novel coronavirus. Then Georgians were ordered to shelter at home, and consumer demand for milk went through the roof. It was the same panic-buying that emptied meat cases, produce bins and paper goods aisles in the early weeks of the outbreak. "Retail milk sales increased 55 percent," said Farrah Newberry, director of the Georgia Milk Producers in Watkinsville, an organization funded by Georgia dairies for educational and promotional purposes. Despite the spike in demand, producers in the largest dairy cooperative, Dairy Farmers of America, were asked to dump milk a couple weeks into the COVID-19 crisis. "It was really hard for us to understand. When there's no milk on the shelves, why do we have to dump?" Newberry said. About 50 Georgia dairies produce milk for the co-op, which sells it to processors who pasteurize it, package it and sell it for wholesale and retail distribution. About a dozen of the largest dairies in the co-op were instructed to dump milk the last week of March and first week of April. Georgia lost about 70 tanker loads, or 3.4 million pounds (395,348 gallons) of milk, Newberry said. Johnson dumped about 22,000 gallons in early April but stressed that he has not been asked to dump again since. Calvin Moody, owner of Brooksco Dairy in Quitman, dumped 27 loads of milk over a seven-day period that ended April 8. The loss wasn't his alone. "When dairy farmers dump milk there is zero dollars of income generated by dumped milk but what happens is that the losses are shared collectively by the producers. For example, if I dump five loads and my neighbor doesn't dump any, it impacts us the same," Moody said. "Because we're part of the co-op, all of our sales we generate are pooled together and divided amongst us based on the amount of milk we produce. We count the pounds we produce even to share losses with other producers. We're not paid for our losses." Newberry said the Georgia Milk Producers and the Dairy Alliance in Atlanta, a nonprofit dairy advocate funded by dairy producers in eight Southeastern states, are asking the public to notify them when they see signs at the grocery limiting milk purchases. "We're trying to contact those stores individually. What we're seeing is it really is a store decision putting up those signs. It's not coming from corporate. We're asking them to take those signs down and let people buy as much milk as they want," she said. Contact the Georgia Milk Producers at gamilkproducers@gmail.com or 706.310.0020, or The Dairy Alliance at 800.343.4693.

Finding a new normal
Venues take festivals, events online as COVID-19 forces cancellations

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
The COVID-19 outbreak has forced the cancellation of many festivals and events that Georgians look forward to when winter gives way to spring. It's also given the organizers of many others the opportunity to leverage technology and foster virtual togetherness and learning.
The Georgia 4-H Environmental Education Program switched its camps to an online series, "From The Mountains To The Sea," which provides lessons from each of the 4-H centers across the state. The series continues with a new lesson added each weekday through May 22.
Melanie Biersmith, associate state 4-H leader, said their facilities typically host thousands of K-12 students at this time of the year to participate in field studies. She said the goal for the online lessons is that 4-H can be a classroom without walls with a click of a computer mouse as everyone shelters in place.
"We hope that by offering these short programs each weekday, we can give youth and adults a way to stay connected to our facilities and our programs during this time when we aren't able to physically participate in field studies," Biersmith said.
Lessons or live streams are posted daily. Lessons cover a range of topics such as herpetology, entomology and beach or stream ecology. The lessons also highlight specific amenities at the 4-H centers, including historic landmarks, salt marshes, tidal creeks, natural history museums and species exhibits.
Georgia 4-H has six facilities providing lessons for the online series: Rock Eagle 4-H Center located in Eatonton; Wahsega 4-H Center in Dahlonega; Fortson 4-H Center in Hampton, near Atlanta; Burton 4-H Center on Tybee Island; and Georgia 4-H at Camp Jekyll and 4-H Tidelands Nature Center on Jekyll Island.

To join in on the lessons, follow the Georgia 4-H Centers on social media or review the lessons in the series archive at https://georgia4h.org/environmental-education/from-themountains-to-the-sea-archive/.
Georgia Grown's annual Georgia Ag Week celebration planned for March 23-27 was among the first events to be cancelled due to concerns of spreading the COVID-19 virus. However, Georgia Grown, the marketing arm of the Georgia Department of Agriculture, launched an online effort that celebrated Georgia's top industry and helped families sheltering at home learn more about farming.
Each day of Ag Week had a theme where people could participate through social media using #GeorgiaGrown. The week started with Monday as Hand-On Garden Day and followed with Buy Georgia Grown Products Day (Tuesday), Ag Hero Day (Wednesday), Ag Literacy Day (Thursday) and Make My Plate Georgia Grown Day (Friday).
Go to feedmyschool.org to find related educational materials and games for children to complete while sheltering at home.
Organizers of the Conyers Cherry Blos-

som Festival canceled the March 2122 event for the first time in its 39-year history. The festival is trying to help vendors by setting up a virtual marketplace online at www.conyerscherryblossomfest.com.
Jill Miller, festival director with the city of Conyers, said the idea was suggested by two vendors. The virtual marketplace is a webpage that has links to vendors' websites and social media pages.
"It's become what we felt we could do for them," Miller said. "We can't do a whole lot more for them other than giving their money back or making sure they are involved next year, but it's just given us further connection with our vendors so they know that we care and understand they are losing out. Hopefully, this will help them."
Kristin Newton of Lotus Runner Nursery in Watkinsville was a festival vendor. She said that she appreciated the effort to help. She is a retired teacher and had worked at a heating and air company before starting her business selling ornamental plants and cacti at festivals across Georgia. "I had been dabbling in it for a while, and I had a boss who was generous to let me off on some Fridays to go to festivals, but it just got cut short because no one is going out and festivals are canceling," she said. "I think I have about a month, month and a half, and then I will have to go back to work for somebody. We'll see." The Sautee Nacoochee Center in northeast Georgia canceled all upcoming events, including the Fiber Arts Festival it planned for this month. However, the release of a smartphone app has helped the center stay connected with people through virtual tours of points of interest in White County. The app provides users with photos and recorded narrations that cover historic sites and hiking trails, along with information about folk potters, shops and art galleries. The app is called "Explore Helen Sautee

GA," and has recorded 800 downloads across iPhone and Android devices since it became available just before the COVID-19 closings. Jennie Inglis, the center's marketing and development coordinator, said the app had been in the works for a few years and may be useful for people currently sheltering at home.
"We do keep our local community in mind, as well as all the visitors that come through here, so we are hoping our local folks can use it. I didn't grow up here, but I've lived here for 20 years, and there's new information in there that I suspect a lot of folks don't know. So we're hoping that it can be a rich resource for those that are regulars up here."
The app also offers the chance to explore activities and sites from home and possibly plan for a trip later this year. Users can touch a map or use a menu to find different photos and narrated tours of trails and historical sites such as the Nacoochee Mound, a Native American landmark that dominates the local scene and dates back 2000 years.
The Explore Helen Sautee GA app is free and can be downloaded for iPhone and Android devices. A printed version in the form of a brochure is also available by contacting the center. For more information, go to www. snca.org.

Activities, virtual marketplace keep
kids and grownups busy
Georgia Grown is offering a host of children's activities, recipes and other resources supporting agriculture to help families as they shelter at home to stem the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Many activities were developed as part of the online celebration of Georgia Ag Week last month. They remain available to help parents keep children learning, pick up a quick and easy recipe or learn more about agriculture, Georgia's largest industry.
Georgia Grown, the Georgia Department of Agriculture's Marketing Division, partnered with Georgia's Feed My School program to bring resources online at www. feedmyschool.org.
The website has several activities for children to stay engaged and learn about nutrition and agriculture. Click on the "Georgia Grown at Home" link to download and print daily activity sheets that include coloring sheets, word searches and mazes along with lessons on agricultural themes like food safety, Georgia geography and gardening.
GeorgiaGrown.com also has a large inventory of recipes to draw from that covers main courses, side dishes, salads, sauces and desserts all made with Georgia-grown farm products. An online marketplace hosts more than 200 small businesses and farms offering a wide assortment of products that are all made in Georgia through online purchasing.
To stay up to date on the latest about Georgia agriculture, visit the program's social media pages on Facebook (Georgia Grown), Instagram (@iamgeorgiagrown) and Twitter (@GeorgiaGrown).
