CDC: Take care when handling backyard poultry flocks

Salmonella contracted from backyard poultry has sickened at least 163 people in 43 states including nine in Georgia prompting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to issue reminders about safe handling of backyard flocks.
Salmonella bacteria live in the intestines of people and animals. According to the CDC, people get salmonella infections by eating contaminated food or drinking contaminated water, or by touching infected animals, their feces, or their environment.
Most people infected with Salmonella experience diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps that begin six hours to six days after infection and last four to seven days. Most people recover without medical attention, but the elderly and young children are susceptible to more severe illness.
To avoid infection through backyard poultry flocks, the CDC recommends that you: Wash your hands
o Always wash your hands with soap and water immediately after touching backyard poultry, their eggs, or anything in the area where they live and roam.
o Use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not readily available. Consider having hand sanitizer at your coop.
Be safe around backyard flocks
o Don't kiss or snuggle backyard poul-

try, and don't eat or drink around them. This can spread Salmonella germs to your mouth and make you sick. o Keep your backyard flock and supplies you use to care for them (like feed containers and shoes you wear in the coop) outside of the house. You should

also clean the supplies outside the house. Supervise kids around flocks
o Always supervise children around backyard poultry and make sure they wash their hands properly afterward.
o Don't let children younger than 5 years

touch chicks, ducklings, or other backyard poultry. Young children are more likely to get sick from germs like Salmonella. Handle eggs safely
o Collect eggs often. Eggs that sit in the nest can become dirty or break.
o Throw away cracked eggs. Germs on the shell can more easily enter the egg though a cracked shell.
o Rub off dirt on eggs with fine sandpaper, a brush, or a cloth. Don't wash them because colder water can pull germs into the egg.
o Refrigerate eggs to keep them fresh and slow the growth of germs.
o Cook eggs until both the yolk and white are firm and cook egg dishes to an internal temperature of 160F to kill all germs.
Call your healthcare provider right away if you have any of these severe symptoms: Diarrhea and a fever higher than 102F. Diarrhea for more than three days that is
not improving. Bloody diarrhea. So much vomiting that you cannot keep
liquids down. Signs of dehydration, such as:
o Not urinating much. o Dry mouth and throat. o Feeling dizzy when standing up.

Black farmers are focus of online photo exhibit
Federation of Southern Cooperatives looks back in time to raise awareness

By Jay Jones jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
The old saying goes, "A picture is worth a thousand words."

The Federation of Southern Cooperatives and Land Assistance Fund is proving that point in an online photo exhibit that showcases the lives of black farmers 50 years ago and tells their stories as food providers and keepers of the land.
Titled "Bridging Art and Farming: Celebrating Black Family Farmers, Landowners and Cooperatives," the exhibit offers a glimpse at the lives of black farmers in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi in the late 1960s through the early 1980s.
The exhibit is online but was initially planned last year as an in-person experience at the Carter Center in Atlanta. The event was postponed due to the COVID pandemic.
Donna DeCallie, FSC/LAF communications and member relations director, said most of the photos are being seen for the first time in public. The photos were assembled shortly after the federation's founding in 1966 as part of a project to document the lives of black farmers.
"When I came to the federation and saw the multitude of photos that we had spanning over 50 years, I realized that a lot of people hadn't seen those photos," DeCallie said. "I thought it was a great idea for folks to really kind of see some of those historical photos of black farmers, cooperatives and landowners."
The exhibit has three sections: Resil-

Georgia Cooking: Lemonade two ways

Blueberry lemonade
Yields 1 drink

Watermelon lemonade
Makes 1 quart of lemonade, 3-4 servings

Ingredients 2oz blueberries 3oz lemonade
Directions Gently press blueberries to release juice. Add lemonade and ice cubes to glass. Gently mix items together. Garnish with blueberries and lemon wedge.

Ingredients 3 cups diced watermelon, in halfinch pieces cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice, from 3-4 lemons cup sugar cup water 1 cup ice cubes
Directions Place watermelon in a blender and puree until smooth. Let puree

settle for about 5 minutes until the pulp rises to the top and the clearer juice remains at the bottom. Pour through a fine-mesh strainer, and rub with a spoon to extract juice from the pulp, leaving about 2 teaspoons of pulp behind.
Place cup sugar and cup water in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. When sugar is completely dissolved, turn off the heat. Add sugar syrup, lemon juice, and 1 cup ice to strained watermelon puree, and stir to melt ice. Taste and check for the balance of lemons juice to sugar, and adjust if necessary.
For minty watermelon lemonade, rub 2 sprigs of mint in between your palms until bruised and very fragrant. Add to lemonade.
Serve over ice with lemon slices and watermelon triangles.

Georgie's Drive Thru Fort Mudge
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our No. 1 industry, agriculture! "We have met the enemy and he is

us!" is a quote by Pogo the Possum, one of the most popular comic strips of all time. Set in the Okefenokee Swamp around Waycross and Fort Mudge, Pogo was the creation of Walt Kelly, who came up with the idea of a comic strip featuring swamp animals, including Pogo the Possum and Albert the Alligator, while visiting the area in 1942. Looking at the illustrations and reading the dialog, it's hard to believe he was not from Georgia and didn't live here while creating the adventures of his famous possum. Pogo found huge popularity in the 1950s blending political and social satire with the backdrop of the famous South Georgia swamp. Walt Kelly created and produced the cartoon from the late 1940s until his death in 1973. It was then carried on for a short time after his death by his children and then made a comeback in the late 1980s. The only trace left in Waycross of Pogo the Possum is the huge painting of him on a water tank that welcomes visitors to town on U.S Highway 84.

Pogo welcomes visitors to Waycross. (Lee Lancaster/GDA)

Market Watch: Local Farmbag seeks to connect farmers with community

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
For Local Farmbag, a produce home delivery service based out of the Savannah State Farmers Market, it is all about connecting the community with good food.
The company connects local farmers with customers by delivering seasonal agricultural products as close to farm to fork as one can get. Their pitch, called The Farmbag Way, is "Get to know us, choose your bag, Enjoy local!"
Their story began in 2009 when a small farmers market in Savannah's historic district closed. Howard and his partner operated a restaurant and were also organizers of the market.
Howard said they thought the market was a great way to connect with people and wanted to keep it going somehow.
"When that shut down, we knew all the farmers, so we just said, `Hey, why don't we try to deliver it?'" Howard said. "We threw out an email and had 30 deliveries that first week, and it grew to about 150 deliveries pretty quick after that. It just kind of morphed into the current business we have."
Local Farmbag customers sign up to get a produce bag delivered weekly or every other week in Savannah and surrounding areas. The bags come in four sizes starting with a mini size with four items. Other sizes are small at 8-11 lbs. of local produce; medium, with homemade bread at 14-17 lbs.; large bag at 20-25 lbs. Customers can customize their bags to avoid allergens or, as the website puts it, "Have an irrational fear of some weird-looking vegetable? We will leave it out."
"The produce bag and program are really based on whatever is in season," How-

doorsteps each week.

"It's pretty small and fortunately, Rita

(Davis, market manager) was nice enough to

allow us to take over the market's conference

room when we got busier with the COVID

thing, which really helped us out," Howard

said. "We still operate out of that little ware-

house. We've just become a lot more effi-

cient."

And in a similar way of connecting with

customers and farmers, Local Farmbag has

always sought to connect with the commu-

nity further. They donate to local food banks

and homeless shelters regularly and on Sat-

urdays give away produce bags to those in

need.

Local Farmbag works with local farmers and producers to deliver food and offers different size bags. Customers can add on meats, fish, and other products to their bag. (Special Photo)

1974 traveling across the South taking photos for the FSC/LAF. She explained it was quite a culture shock for her.
Goudvis, who is white, was 21 years old and traveling by herself through the South for the first time. She said the openness of people she met was striking.
"People were incredibly friendly and welcoming," she said.
Goudvis also recalled seeing poverty every place she went, and the difficulties black farmers faced. A challenge for her then was how to tell their story with film in a respectful way.

very deep privilege." Goudvis took thousands of photos across
several states, from a pulpwood operation to farm families and cooperatives.
One such place was the Greene-Hale Sewing Cooperative of Greenville, Ala. The sewing cooperative employed 50 women and had contracts with the national retailer JC Penney to sew undergarments in the early 1970s. The cooperative closed when apparel jobs moved overseas.
However, other cooperatives are still here, such as the West Georgia Farmers' Cooperative in Harris County, one of the first co-

"It was quite an amazing trip for me, for somebody from a different part of the country, and I was a little bit young for much of the civil rights movement," Goudvis said, "and I think that is what motivates people who go into documentary photography or filmmaking. It is sort of a ticket to go places and meet people and be in situations that otherwise you just would not be able to. The camera opens that door, and I think that is a

Larry Herman, who photographed the cooperative members, noted that places like the West Georgia cooperative seem like a faraway land now as the number of black farms has dwindled since then.
"I photographed them in their environment and how they were organized to defend a culture under profound economic and so-

cial pressure," Herman said. DeCallie explained the photos offer a
glimpse of the past while also helping the future of black farms by highlighting the challenges of segregation and economic disadvantages. She said they hope to organize the photos to promote awareness in preserving farmland and helping black farmers keep their land.

According to the federation, the number of farms owned by African Americans in the United States decreased from 925,000 to 18,616 between 1920 to 1992. That drop has stabilized in recent years, but according to the 2017 Census of Agriculture by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, there were 35,470 black-owned farms in the United States or less than 1 percent of all farms.

The West Georgia Farmers' Cooperative in Harris County was formed by black farmers in 1966 to pool their resources in agriculture and small industry. Still operating today, the co-op sells produce, arts and crafts and operates a museum on farming and homestead skills common to the Deep South. (Pat Goudvis/Special Photo)

Georgia 4-H celebrates winners of its double-elimination State 4-H Dairy Quiz Bowl

By Heather Shultz
University of Georgia
On May 13, 40 youth participated in the virtual 2021 Georgia 4-H Dairy Quiz Bowl supported by The Georgia Dairy Youth Foundation and Milk Check-Off.
Youth participating in the quiz bowl receive a better knowledge of dairy-related topics and learn to demonstrate that knowledge in a competitive and thought-stimulating environment and gain important life skills, such as confidence, independence and compassion. They also strengthen decision-making and leadership skills in an environment which allows contribution to a group effort, encouraging teamwork and collaboration with a diverse group of peers.
"Every year that I work with this contest, I'm astounded by the depth and breadth of knowledge of our young people in the state," said Jillian Bohlen, University of Georgia Cooperative Extension dairy science specialist. "The youth this year came to the contest not

only with understanding of the dairy industry but with enthusiasm for the competition. A hard-fought double elimination event, they thought, collaborated, buzzed, laughed and made a great 2021 State Dairy Quiz Bowl competition. Congratulations to all competitors as you should all be incredibly proud."
Two divisions of teams compete during the quiz bowl, junior and senior, and each county was permitted to enter two teams in each division. If a team contained more than four members, the top three individual scores were used to establish the team score.
Senior competitors were given one attempt to complete a 100-question multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank test in a limited time frame to gauge their knowledge of dairy nutrition, calf management, parlor management and reproduction, as well as current events and statistics within the dairy industry.
A team plaque will be presented to the first place junior and senior teams. The winning senior team will also represent Georgia at the North American Invitational 4-H Dairy Quiz

Bowl Contest in November in Louisville, Kentucky.

Giving beetles the boot
GDA Structural Pest Inspectors learn on the job and save history in the process

By Amy Carter amy.carter@agr.georgia.gov BARTOW COUNTY Inspectors employed by the Structural Pest Division of the Georgia Department of Agriculture recently learned by doing and helped preserve a piece of Georgia history in the process.
Bob and Mary Norton, fifth generation owners of Valley View Farm, hosted a twoday training session for newly hired inspectors May 17 and 18. The training covered safety and other issues unique to the job and offered a hands-on lesson in the professional treatment of invasive wood pests that can damage and weaken structures and furnishings.
Inspectors access a crawl space beneath the dining room at Valley View through a trap door in the floor.

The Structural Pest Division does not engage in pest treatment as a rule, but it does license and regulate pest control companies operating in Georgia. State inspectors are tasked with responding to consumer complaints involving the pest industry.
Structural Pest Director Derrick Lastinger said the training offered the new inspectors valuable insight into the workings of the industry they regulate.
"We do these once or twice a year," Lastinger said. "I think they're great for learning and for team-building."
Unlike other divisions of GDA, Structural Pest works face-to-face with consumers throughout the state, and they are doing it with a smaller and younger work force, Lastinger said.
The section's inspection staff has shrunk from 24 to 12 due to budget cuts through the years, but recent hiring has filled every inspector position, including those left open by the retirement of seasoned personnel. Carl Schnabel, a structural pest inspector who previously worked in the private sector, led the training that saw the inspectors treating affected crawlspaces and wood furniture with Bora-Care.
Dr. Reid Ipser, director of technical services for manufacturer Nisus Corp., said the product has been on the market since the 1980s and is used to treat a variety of household pests including termites and carpenter ants as well as wood rot. Since 1990 the product has been used as a preventative treatment in all new home construction.
Nisus donated nearly $1,000 worth of Bora-Care to the project for remedial treatment at Valley View, a 10-room house built in the 1840s. The structure, which has remained in the same family for five generations, was occupied by Union troops during the Civil War. Today it is host to powder post beetles.
Dr. Dan Suiter, extension entomologist on the Griffin Campus of the University of Georgia, said wood-boring beetles are attracted to dead wood and often enter crawlspaces through vents to feast on floor

joists. The beetles eat holes in the wood where they deposit their eggs. Subsequent generations live their life cycles eggs, larvae, juveniles, adults inside the wood and emerge on two-year cycles to mate and die. Emergence in Georgia typically occurs in late spring.
Each room of the farmhouse at Valley View has its own crawlspace, and inspectors sprayed all of them as well as antique furniture with Bora-Care to prevent future infestations. Clothed in Tyvek suits, gloves, respirators and goggles, the inspectors maneuvered through trapdoors cut in the wood floors of the house armed with whisk brooms to brush away the cobwebs. They used gallon sprayers and paint rollers to coat the sills and joists with product.
The owners of Valley View sought GDA's assistance with the beetles back in 2006. On the advice of a specialist at the University of Georgia, the homeowners installed French drains to carry moisture away from the house, but the beetles persisted.
According to Valley View owner Bob Norton, the materials used to build Valley View were organic to the farm. The bricks were baked in the front pasture, the limestone used in the mortar was dug on the farm, and the wood was harvested from trees on site.
"These bricks, having been made on the property, they're like a clay pot. When it rains they absorb the moisture so the crawl spaces tend to stay wet," said Nancy Collier, a supervisor in the Structural Pest Division who has worked with Turner for several years to get a handle on the beetle problem.
When it became apparent that treatment would be necessary, Collier who also serves as coordinator of outreach and special projects saw an opportunity to do good beyond training the next generation of inspectors.
"This is a historic structure in Bartow County and we're glad to be able to help," she said.
Valley View has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1974.

A GDA inspector suited up for battle against the powder post beetle.
