Georgia Pecan growers open a new marketing channel for Georgia Grown members
eCommerce site allows direct sales to Chinese consumers

By Ava Jane Teasley
ava.teasley@agr.georgia.gov
The Georgia Pecan Growers Association is offering businesses enrolled in the Georgia Grown marketing program the opportunity to sell directly to China through an established eCommerce storefront.
"The eCommerce program provides a platform through which Georgia producers can market their products directly to Chinese consumers and without paying tariffs," said R.G. Lamar, president of the association. "The Georgia Pecan Growers have done much work to get the program set up, and it is growing steadily each year."
In 2017, the association was awarded a specialty crop block grant to help fund the eCommerce project. The grant helped connect the association with an international

The addition of other products will expose consumers to Georgia Grown products that they might not have originally sought out. In the future, there are hopes that the site can support itself with restocks quarterly.
"A presence within a Chinese eCommerce puts Georgia Grown branded products for consumers to buy at a click of a button," said McLeod. "The consumer can see directly where their pecans come from."
McLeod said that having the eCommerce in China was attractive because the Chinese market is very large and already trusts products grown and made in the United States.

Bill creates Companion Animal Trust Fund
The Georgia Department of Agriculture and members of the Georgia Pet Coalition met with Gov. Brian Kemp recently to celebrate the signing of House Bill 574, which created a Local Government Companion Animal Trust Fund. The bill allows the department to endow the fund using a portion of the revenue generated from license fees paid by pet dealers, kennels, stables, and animal shelter operators. Local governments may apply to the department of agriculture for reimbursement of expenses incurred when impounding large numbers of neglected or abused animals. Pictured left to right: Peggy McCarthey and John Copenhaver, both of the Georgia Pet Coalition; Mark Murrah, manager of the Companion Animal Program for GDA; Gov. Brian Kemp; State Rep. Beth Camp, sponsor of the bill, and her husband, Mark; and Amir Sports, social media coordinator for the GDA. (Photo courtesy of the Office of the Governor)

U.S. Forest Service tests drones for lighting, managing prescribed burns in North Georgia
By Jay Jones jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov

Drones in the air may one day be as common to prescribed

burns as boots on the ground, thanks to a pilot program by the

United States Forest Service in the Chattahoochee-Oconee Na-

tional Forests.

According to Amy McClave, fire management officer for the

U.S. Forest Service's Chattooga River Ranger District, there is a

great potential of using drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles, to

make prescribed burns more efficient and safer.

The forest service uses helicopters for overhead observation

and fire ignition in their fire management work. McClave said the

UAVs could be used for small, controlled burns or to augment ae-

rial coverage with helicopters for larger burns.

"There are only so many helicopters to go around for all of us

who want to do these big, prescribed burns, so if we have these

UAV modules available, we're able to conduct more prescribed

burns within our limited burn windows," McClave said. "It's really

exciting to have that expansion of capacity in that way."

Prescribed or controlled burns are important in reducing

ground cover and overgrowth in forests, which is an effective way A U.S. Forest Service ranger checks the drone, or unmanned aerial vehicle, before to prevent wildfires or reduce their impact. In Georgia, the forest flight during a prescribed burn earlier this year in the Chattahoochee National Forest. service partners with the Georgia Forestry Commission, Georgia The forest service is training rangers to fly the drones and use them in setting and

Georgia Cooking: Pepper jelly glazed BBQ shrimp with fresh yellow corn grits

Courtesy of Chef Julio Delgado
Ingredients
For the shrimp 20-24 jumbo Georgia white shrimp, tail
on, peeled and deveined cup BBQ rub 2 tbsp olive oil Salt cup pepper jelly
For serving cup chopped chives and parsley 1 lemon, cut in half
For the yellow corn grits 12 ears fresh yellow corn, shucked cup finely grated parmesan cheese 10 tbsp butter, cut into tablespoons
Directions
For the yellow corn grits Cut the stem end off each ear of corn, just enough to create a flat surface on which to stand each ear vertically.

With a sharp paring knife, cut off only the tips of the kernels on all sides so that the pulp inside each kernel is exposed. Reserve the partial kernels. With a large spoon, scrape the pulp from each ear and add the pulp to the reserved partial kernels.
Heat 1 tbsp butter over medium high heat and add the corn mixture to the pan. Stir frequently and cook for about 4 minutes. Whisk in the remaining butter tablespoon by tablespoon. Add parmesan cheese and stir. Taste for seasoning.
For the shrimp Season the shrimp with the BBQ rub and salt. Heat the oil on high in a saut pan. Sear the shrimp over high heat in batches, about 2 minutes on each side. Set

aside. Heat pepper jelly in microwave for about 30 seconds or until melted. Use this to glaze shrimp with a silicone brush or by tossing each shrimp in the hot pepper jelly.
Assembly Place the corn grits in a bowl or plate and arrange 3 or 4 shrimp on top of

each serving. Garnish with herbs and a squeeze of lemon.

Larry For The Country: Papa was a true Renaissance man

By Larry Walker
lwalker@whgmlaw.com
For those of you who know or knew us Daddy, David, Lynda, Charlie, and me it might come as a surprise to you that all the Walkers are not short, small people. In fact, my Grandfather Walker, Papa, had a brother, Uncle Charlie (one of 15 brothers and sisters), who was a tall, large man as were his children. And several of Papa's other siblings were above average in height. So, there are some big Walkers, although Papa himself was a small man. About like Daddy. Daddy came to Houston County in the late 1930s and left when he died, March of 2002. He used to say, "I weighed 135 pounds when I came here, and I will weigh 135 pounds when I leave." Papa was about five feet six inches and maybe 150 pounds, or less. He was a small man. It is about Papa that I write today. Papa died on January 30, 1958, and these are my memories of him, the accuracy being tested by the erosion of time. I've told you he was small. He was also quiet, largely uneducated, and unsophisticated. Except on Sundays, and when he went to Sandersville or Sparta on Saturdays, he wore overalls and sensible brogan shoes. I don't know for sure I've never heard it discussed but I am confident that he did not graduate

from high school. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that he never even attended high school.
The only thing I ever saw him read was a newspaper and, perhaps, The Progressive Farmer. He listened to Grandma or me or another grandchild read the Bible, but I never saw him read it himself. To my knowledge, he never held any kind of an office not even one in the church or a farmer's organization. Until I wrote about him, other than his obituary, I doubt that his name ever appeared in print. All in all, an unimportant, non-significant person? I don't think so. Let me tell you why.
Papa could do so many things. Often, he did most of these things in a single day. Let me give you some examples. He could hitch up the mules to the right plows for the day's work. He could plow a mule planting, cultivating, fertilizing, or whatever it took to get the job done. He ran his and Grandma's tiny country store, keeping it supplied, and turning enough of a profit, small though it was, to help with the living.
He could build a birdhouse, a rabbit box, or a porch on the house. He could, and did, make many sling-shots out of tree branches, and rubber inner-tubes, and strings. He hand-milked the cow every evening and strained the milk for drinking, cooking, and making butter. He killed hogs, made soap, and cured meat. He could barbeque a hog and did every July 4.
He could, and did for me, identify all the birds and trees. He always had a ripe watermelon for us by July 4 (although I've eaten a few on July 4 that weren't completely ripe!) He cut and kept wood for the stove and oven. He kept a good garden every year! He made syrup. He could fool you into eating a

green persimmon one time! He could fix (for you Yankees, this means repair) most anything and did.
Evidence of this gift is still with us. He kept fishing poles (cane) "rigged up" (black nylon line, cork, lead, and hook) at Grandma's request although I never remember him doing any fishing. He had a fish bait-bed and catalpa trees. He could cut an absolutely perfect hole in an orange for sucking or strip sugar cane for chewing. He grew the cane but not the oranges. He could cure most any cut or scrape or hurt with kerosene. He once killed an alligator in Alligator Creek (was that the creek's name before or after the killing?) and hauled the amphibious reptile out with a mule.
He worked every day except Sunday, regardless of the weather or how he felt. I guess he even milked the cow and fed the livestock and brought wood to the stove on Sunday. He could sharpen an ax or knife or hoe. In short, it appeared to me that he could do most anything. A true Renaissance man.
Uneducated? Unsophisticated? Unimportant? I hardly think so. In fact, I believe that he is one of the most important people that ever lived at least to me. Thanks David Flournoy Walker of Warthen, Georgia. Thanks, Papa. I loved you, miss you, and even after all these years, think of you often.

Georgie's Drive Thru Bellville
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our No. 1 industry, agriculture! Georgia is the No. 1 producer of forest

products in the country. Trees are harvested to make all kinds of important stuff like houses, food packaging, board games and notebook paper. Pine trees are grown in abundance here, and there are 10 native species of pine trees in Georgia, two of which are used in what is called tree farming: slash and loblolly. To protect valuable trees from damage from tree rust, slash pine is usually planted below the Altamaha River, while loblolly is planted above it. When a forest is harvested, it is then replanted with new trees. I went to see Danny and Gary Bell, in Bellville of all places, to see where tree seedlings come from. They plant slash and loblolly seeds in beds that are eight rows wide in the spring. During the fall and winter months, they lift the seedlings up with their special harvester and wrap them in bundles of 1,000 to be shipped all over the state. Foresters then replant 600 to 700 trees per acre, by hand or mechanically. The Bells grow 15 million pine seedlings a year and have been in business since 1984.

Mercer Medical Moment:
Lingering COVID symptoms pose a challenge for Georgia agriculture

By Peter J. Huwe, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor of Biochemistry
Mercer University School of Medicine
Early in the pandemic, people focused on two simple outcomes of a COVID-19 infection: death or a full recovery. This, however, remains an over-simplistic description of the disease. Over the past year and a half, scientists and medical professionals have learned much more about the coronavirus and how it impacts different people in different ways. Some people get severely ill before recovering, while others seem to have minimal symptoms. We now also know that even individuals who have mild cases of COVID-19 can suffer long-lasting side effects from the disease. Midway through 2020, most Americans began hearing reports of "COVID long-haulers." Long COVID also called Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19, or PASC refers to symptoms that exist at least four weeks after the initial diagnosis. For some people, the same symptoms from their initial illness just keep lingering on. For other people, PASC manifests as new symptoms. These symptoms can be very different in different individuals. Some people experience chronic fatigue or joint aches or muscle pains. Others might have heart palpitations or chest pain. Others might experience shortness of breath or chronic coughing. Others have reported headaches or difficulty concentrating. Altered smell. Depression. Anxiety. Dizziness. Hair loss. Erectile dysfunction. The list goes on. People who have a more severe bout of COVID-19 are more likely to experience PASC. However, even people who did not experience any symptoms when they were infected can develop PASC weeks or months later. One study found that 1 in 10 healthcare workers who initially had rel-

atively mild cases of COVID-19 were still dealing with at least one moderate-to-severe symptom eight months later.
Multiple studies have documented cases of PASC in children who had mild symptoms or no symptoms at the time that they were diagnosed with COVID-19. Some of those children were later hospitalized for severe PASC symptoms. Another study reported that more than 1 in 3 previously healthy college athletes who were recovering from mild to moderate COVID-19 infection showed signs of heart injury (specifically, pericardial inflammation) in imaging studies. Anyone who gets infected with COVID-19 is at risk of developing PASC.
The potential impact of PASC presents unique challenges for Georgia's agricultural workers. Georgians living in rural areas thus far have had a lower COVID-19 vaccination rate and disproportionally higher rates of hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19.
Hispanic immigrant workers make up a large portion of the state's agricultural workforce, and the Latino community in Georgia currently has a lower vaccination rate than other ethnic/racial populations in the state. All together, these factors put Georgia's agricultural sector at particularly high risk of being negatively impacted by PASC.
Because of the physical nature of farm work, certain PASC symptoms like breathing problems, joint aches, fatigue, and others have the potential to impact the productivity of workers. A recent study by Lusk and Chandra estimated that almost 1 in 10 U.S. agricultural workers have been infected with COVID-19, and these infections are expected to reduce the U.S. agricultural output by about $309 million.
It is currently unclear how long it takes to recover from PASC. Some individuals return to normal after a few months. Other individuals still suffer from symptoms more than a year later. The good news is that the COVID-19 vaccines that are freely available in Georgia do a great job of warding off COVID-19 illness and subsequent PASC symptoms. PASC is preventable.

USDA launches new poultry
biosecurity outreach effort aimed
at youth and student audiences
WASHINGTON, D.C. The United States Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is launching a new outreach effort specifically aimed at helping youth and student poultry owners learn about and practice good biosecurity. This new effort is called #FlockDefender.
Youth are the future of our nation's poultry farming and industry. The #FlockDefender outreach program shares the agency's existing Defend the Flock message that encourages and prepares all poultry owners to implement diligent biosecurity practices with future and aspiring growers. APHIS provides youth, students and their leaders and teachers with many electronic resources they can use during meetings, classes and when caring for their flocks. APHIS is also encouraging these young poultry enthusiasts to share photos of their poultry or biosecurity practices.
With a growing number of small poultry flocks across the country, now is the time to spread the word to young enthusiasts. It's always best for flock health to have solid biosecurity in place from the very beginning. Making biosecurity an every day, every time practice helps keep poultry healthy and prevent the spread of infectious poultry diseases.
But it's not just youth anyone who works with or raises poultry should follow good biosecurity practices all the time. Some European and Asian countries are dealing with highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreaks right now. These practices will make a difference in protecting your flock, should we face similar circumstances in the future. Here are some tips anyone can follow: Choose new birds from National Poultry Improvement Plan
participating flocks. Quarantine new birds for at least 30 days before introducing
them to an existing flock. Designate a Line of Separation between your flock and the rest
of the world, along with rules for crossing that line. When launching #FlockDefender, APHIS updated and refreshed the whole Defend the Flock website. You can explore the site, the campaign resources and more detailed biosecurity information at www.aphis.usda.gov/animalhealth/defendtheflock.

The Georgia Department of Agriculture's Animal Industry Division has confirmed Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus 2 in domestic rabbits at a single Cobb County location. The investigation is ongoing to determine the source of the virus and there are currently no other confirmed or suspected cases in Georgia.
RHDV2 is a highly contagious Calicivirus that affects domestic rabbits, as well as wild or feral rabbits and hares. The virus is shed by infected rabbits, and transmitted through direct contact, fomites (bedding, water, feed, hay, etc.) and mechanical vectors (i.e., insects). The virus is hardy in the environment, especially when protected by organic material and survives in extreme temperatures.
Clinical signs for RHDV2 in rabbits range from sudden death to anorexia, lethargy, conjunctivitis, respiratory signs and bloodstained noses or mouths.

Good biosecurity practices are the best defense against RHDV2 infection and rabbit owners are strongly advised to take the following measures to protect rabbitries: Keep domestic rabbits separate from
other pets, livestock, and wild animals. Wash hands thoroughly before entering rabbit housing areas or interacting with domestic rabbits. Use dedicated clothing and footwear when interacting with domestic rabbits. Clean and disinfect equipment, materials and surfaces used for rabbit care. Properly dispose of animal waste, bedding, and supplies. Quarantine newly acquired animals from other pets and livestock for at least 30 days. Establish a working relationship with

a veterinarian to review biosecurity practices and health concerns. RHDV2 is a reportable disease in Georgia. Veterinarians should report sick or dead domestic rabbits to the State Veterinarian's office at 404.656.3667 or 404.656.3671, or the office of the USDA Area Veterinarian in Charge at 770.761.5420. Sick or dead wild rabbits should be reported to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources at 1.833.557.3303 or 706.557.3333. -Georgia Department of Agriculture Communications Division

Urban Atlanta farm show depicts life as it once was in rural Georgia

Every two years, John and Betty Maloney invite the public to their backyard farm show in Doraville. COVID-19 delayed the 2020 show. Here, the couple is shown with their collection of butter churns at the rescheduled event held June 12 and 13. (Photos by Amy Carter/GDA)

DORAVILLE One of the best lessons in old-fashioned farming to be had can be found inside the perimeter in Atlanta, 15 miles from downtown and just a stone's throw from Interstate 285 that rings the city, dividing the metro area from the suburbs.
Collector John Maloney and his wife, Betty, have everything from Prince Albert in a can to Better Mouse Traps. There's a working 1947 International Harvester stationary square bale hay press, a 1941 John Deere G, a series of vintage wringer washing machines, a hog oiler that runs on burnt motor oil and swine ingenuity, and a lacing machine used to repair the flat belts farmers used to transfer power from tractors to machinery like hay balers and feed mills.
Once every two years, the Maloneys host a backyard farm show where they offer hands-on demonstrations of daily life before all manner of modern conveniences came to be.
The show is a particular hit with children, who learn to wash clothes, churn butter, milk a cow and make rope, animal feed, grits and hay the way it was done in the early to mid20th century. Maloney began collecting farm antiques in the 1980s. The closest he ever got to active farming was helping in the family garden, but his grandfather operated a dairy in Doraville where a General Motors plant was later built.

At left, the Ottawa 6 HP log saw sold for $39 when new (in the 1930s) and did the work of more than 10 men, according to its own hype.
At right, John Maloney's collection of antiques

GDA ensures safety, efficacy of fumigation projects in Georgia

By Amy Carter
amy.carter@agr.georgia.gov
WHITESBURG New inspectors with the Georgia Department of Agriculture's Structural Pest Division were introduced to a large-scale fumigation project to eliminate wood-destroying powder post beetles recently, part of their ongoing on-the-job training program.
State regulations require pest control operators to notify the department of agriculture 48 hours before fumigating, allowing inspectors to ensure compliance with the pesticide label instructions and state rules dictating proper security (signage, an alert guard on the premises for the duration of the fumigation, locks or other measures to se-

cure doors and prevent entry). State regulations also require pest control
operators to notify local police and first responders three hours before gassing a structure due to the lethal nature of the sulfuryl fluoride gas used as a fumigant to destroy termites and other wood-destroying insects. The Whitesburg project, performed by Barnes Lakeside Exterminating in Jackson, used a product called Vikane.
Fumigation works through "tenting" of the infested structure with tarps that are taped and clipped to prevent gas from escaping. The thickness of the tarp is dictated by pesticide label instructions.
The Whitesburg project injected 375 lbs. of gas into 140,000 cubic feet of living space.

Prior to releasing fumigant gas to kill pests, applicators deploy a warning agent called chloropicrin, which affects humans and animals like tear gas.

Fumigating a structure requires tenting it with plastic tarps that are taped and clipped together. The Whitesburg structure represented 140,000 cubic feet of living space created by numerous additions to the main structure. Barnes Lakeside Exterminating spent five days wrapping the building prior to fumigating for wood-boring powder post beetles.

Fire Drones: Most UAV operators must be licensed pilots under FAA Part 107 regulations

Continued From Page 1

Department of Natural Resources and local county fire departments in conducting prescribed burns.
However, as effective as prescribed burns are, they have to be carefully planned and can take months to schedule. Even then, the burns are dependent on specific weather conditions. The window of time to conduct burns is small, so McClave said UAVs could be valuable in maximizing resources and personnel.
The USFS in the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests completed the first year of a two-year pilot program for drones in partnership with the U.S. Department of the Interior, which has used drones for several years in land and wildlife management. Last year was the first time the forestry service used drones for fire management in Georgia. McClave said the program's focus is to train pilots to fly the drones and develop operational plans to coordinate those working on the ground.
The rangers used the drones to drop incendiary spheres, called "dragon eggs," to start prescribed burns and then monitor fire's progress using onboard cameras and alert rangers to trouble spots.
McClave said they are learning that it is indeed a team effort to use drones to manage a prescribed burn.
"What we have found here in Georgia is that having the separation of duties helps not get anyone bogged down," she said. "This allows the pilot to focus on the drone."
The pilot works closely with the fire boss, whose job is to coordinate efforts on the ground.
McClave said they also believed drones could improve safety during burns. She said parts of the national forest are rugged and dangerous for helicopter pilots, particularly in low-level flying. "If it's not the safest area for operations, we can take that risk away from people in the air and just put it directly onto that machine," she said.
Cole Fagan, a graduate student at Oklahoma State University, has focused on prescribed fires as part of his work toward a Master's Degree in Natural Resource Ecology and Management. He and McClave gave a presentation on June 3 for the North Georgia Prescribed Fire Council's annual meeting, where they discussed the use of drones in fire management.
Fagan has worked with landowners in Oklahoma using drones mounted with infrared cameras and wrote the Okla-

homa State Extension Service fact sheet guide on using the devices in prescribed fire management. He said the technology of drones and cameras had made them an incredible tool.
"They are pretty dang handy. With the infrared setups, you can see right through smoke, see exactly how the fire is behaving, and you can see personnel and equipment side-by-side," Fagan said. "It takes a little bit of getting used to on the infra-

red screen and knowing what is what, but once you figure it out, it's pretty easy to use."
The downside of drone use in fire management is the limits of the technology. McClave said battery life and radio range between controller and device are shortfalls she and her colleagues are trying to work around.
Licensing is another consideration for using drones. Fagan explained most pilots are required to get a license to fly a drone from the Federal Aviation Administration, known as a Part 107 license, which refers to the section of federal regulations covering professional UAV operation.
Fagan advised checking the FAA website for changes to the regulations. He noted that as UAVs are relatively new technology, regulations for them are evolving.
Based on what they have seen so far, McClave and Fagan said they expect drones to play a more significant role in fire management in the coming years.
"The drone we have is four years old, so it's been outdated twice now since they come out with new models every other year," Fagan said. "They just keep getting better."
