COVID-19 is the mother of invention
Beef producers become processors to overcome challenges of pandemic recovery

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
Beef producers like Joseph Egloff are finding new ways to sell their beef in the wake of COVID-19. Demand for beef is strong, but processors cannot expand production due to labor shortages.
Those factors, along with new interest from consumers to buy locally, are reshaping the beef market, according to Egloff. He runs a small ranch in Monroe County and saw an opportunity to open a processing operation to package his meat and meat from other ranches nearby.
"When you sell beef instead of cattle, you become a price setter instead of a price taker," he said. "When you take those cattle to the stockyard, someone else decides what they're worth that day. When you take your beef to a farmers market, you decide what that beef is worth, and if somebody chooses not to buy it, then you can put it back in the freezer."
The COVID pandemic created upheaval across traditional supply chains for all agricultural commodities when schools, restaurants, hotels, and other businesses closed. Egloff explained that demand for food remained, but people were finding different ways to purchase beef. He said he did well at farmers markets and with online sales and continues to do so today.
"People who had never bought from us before bought beef from us and fortunately a lot of those people have continued to buy from us, even as the grocery stores have started to fill back up," he said.
According to Dale Sandlin, executive vice president of the Georgia Cattlemen's Association, what has driven Egloff and

others to consider selling beef directly to customers is a labor shortage among large processors nationwide.
The workforce lost last year has been slow to come back, and that has caused the number of slots places where ranchers can schedule a cow to be processed to shrink.
Sandlin said wait times for processing slots are up to nine months, making it difficult for ranchers.
"By the time it takes us to get a cow ready to go to market, we're looking right at 24 months," Sandlin said. "Now, (ranchers) are having to build in nine months backward, and that takes a considerable amount of time to make sure that you're hitting that timing just right."
Sandlin said the cattlemen's association wants to help the industry by partnering with technical schools and local school systems to develop a training program for meat processing. He said the hope is to provide a skilled workforce to the beef industry that is ready to work sooner.
Meanwhile, Will Godowns, a beef producer with Caldwell Farms in Concord, said they had to adjust when it became difficult to get cattle to the stockyards to finish and set up for slots at the processors.
"We were selling cattle in truckloads to the Midwest trying to capture as much money as we could, and the farm, we figured, was breaking even," Godowns said. "So, we're like, `Well, we got to do something. There is a demand for this now,' so we've kind of gone this direction."
In addition to selling to processors, Caldwell had a wholesale and direct-to-consumer business. Still, they started to depend less on their cow-calf operation with fewer slots and move toward finishing cattle themselves.

Reader Profile: Four-leaf clovers are good luck for Market Bulletin advertiser

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

By Ava Jane Teasley
The luck of finding four-leaf clovers for David Colley evolved into a therapeutic mechanism that helped overcome setbacks from a stroke suffered in August of 2020. Colley and his wife, Chris, of Loganville delight in find-

ing four leaf clovers and share that joy with people across the country.
The Colleys began planting both annual and perennial clover to attract deer and as a cover crop for their garden. The love of finding four-leaf clovers was rooted in their childhoods, but over time they noticed that the clovers they were growing were a bit unusual.
"The two types of clovers had developed traits from one another. Annuals usually grow quicker and larger than the perennials. You very rarely find a four-leaf clover in annuals. The perennials are always a lot smaller, and you usually find four-leaf clovers in perennials," Colley said. "Over time the perennials started growing up a lot quicker and a lot larger like the annuals. That's because they were cross pollinating"
Colley said the more they found four-leaf clovers, the more time they spent looking and the more time they spent looking, the more they found.
To save the clovers the couple first would tape the clover to a piece of paper. But eventually the clovers began to turn brown. To secure the green color and beauty of the clovers the couple began to laminate the clovers on acid free cardstock.
The Colleys would give the preserved clovers as gifts to friends and family.
"Everybody seemed so excited about them because they were so unique," Colley said. "We thought maybe we should try selling them. Everyone who received one would al-

David Colley
ways tell us that they'd never seen anything like it."
In 2018 the couple began listing the clovers in the Handicrafts and Supplies section of the Classifieds in the Market Bulletin. Other than word of mouth, the ad is the only other means of advertisement of the clovers. The Colleys said that once people bought some, they always came back. People who received them as gifts would call and order some to give as gifts, too.
But in August of 2020 the clover picking was put on pause. Colley suffered a stroke that

required him to be in a wheelchair. For a period of time, the clovers were not even listed for sale in the Market Bulletin.
"I've gone from being in a wheelchair to using a walker, a cane, and now walking on my own," Colley said. "I get a lot of exercise by looking for clovers. It really helped me."
The excitement of looking for the four-leaf clovers pushed Colley to move and work his muscles. The walking mixed with bending over to comb through the clover was good exercise, and calming.
The Colleys are back in business and selling their clover again. To make the clover even more unique, the couple has added elements such as flags, butterflies, and deer stickers to make each laminated card more personalized.
Colley said the clover range in price from $3.50 to $12. The price depends on the size, uniqueness, and how much work goes into making them. They sell around 200 clovers a year, and even have a waiting list for the very unique clovers like five-leaf clovers.
"Each clover really has its own personality, I know that sounds funny," Colley said. "Different clovers look better displayed on different colors and with different designs."
Above all the fun and work the clovers are, the Colleys said that the real reward comes when customers call to say how excited they are to receive their clover.
To purchase from the Colleys, find their ad in the Handicrafts and Supplies category of the Market Bulletin Classifieds.

Forestry Matters: `Ask the Arborist' offers online advice for tree care

By Stasia Kelly
Georgia Forestry Commission
Effects of the global pandemic on different business sectors have been far-reaching and the agriculture community has endured its share. Recently, the Farm Service Agency announced the Pandemic Assistance for Timber Harvesters and Haulers program. PATHH is not a traditional FSA program, so state forestry agencies are helping reach out to impacted timber harvesting and timber hauling businesses. More information on PATHH can be found at https://www.farmers.gov/pandemic-assistance/pathh.
Service charges are changing for GFC's tractor and bulldozer services. Beginning September 1, 2021, the hourly rate for all tractors will be $190, with a one hour minimum, which includes the transportation fee. The rate for each additional hour will be $130. The rate change applies to the installation of firebreaks using fire plows, harrows, and/or front-mounted blades.
The rate also applies to all pre-suppression and extraction services, as well as wildfire suppression charges. For more

It's the dead of summer. Do you know how your trees are faring?
Too much rain, too much heat, pesky pests and nearby activities can all affect a tree's health. Their stress may be reflected in any number of ways, from discolored leaves and needle drop to root failure and mortality. Do you need some expert advice, but where to turn? Fortunately, help is just a few clicks away on the Georgia Forestry Commission's "Ask the Arborist" page at gatrees.org.
"Ask the Arborist" is a place to ask technical questions about tree management, planting and care. By answering questions on a simple form, landowners provide essential information to GFC's certified arborists, who use the specific details and corresponding photos, if provided, to help diagnose tree health issues. Insect and disease issues can be diagnosed and possible treatment methods suggested. Answers are returned electronically to the sender in a timely manner.
There's a good chance that the problems being described have been experienced and

solved in the past. That is why a thorough list of resources is included on "Ask the Arborist." Numerous helpful tips and best practices are available on a wide variety of fact sheet topics, including: best watering practices and best pruning tips and techniques; structural issues such as girdling roots and leaning trees; how to plant trees and proper mulching; and guidelines on the importance of utilizing the services of a professional certified arborist.
Sometimes the best way to truly understand a subject is to see it demonstrated visually. A growing "Ask the Arborist" video library is offered as well. Need to sharpen your pruning skills? We've got a video that shows how to prune properly. Trying to save money on energy? Check out the video on tree placement for energy efficiency. Wondering if a storm-damaged tree can be salvaged? Our video can help you decide.
The Georgia Forestry Commission provides leadership, service, and education to protect and conserve Georgia's forest resources. "Ask the Arborist" is one of the easiest ways to learn about your very own trees, which hold an important place in Georgia's rich forest canopy.

Georgia Forestry Commission Community Forestry Specialist Seth Hawkins puts his experience to work in the field and on GFC's "Ask the Arborist" web portal.

Guest Column: GDA summer internship is an eye-opening, core-building experience

By Ali Ikner
ali.ikner@agr.georgia.gov
My summer as an intern in the Georgia Department of Agriculture was set into motion by what I felt, at the time, to be misfortune. I had planned to spend the summer studying abroad in Morocco and Finland, to learn about culture, international agriculture, and the philosophy of food. The beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic brought those plans to a screeching halt, as international travel was off the table and both study abroad programs were canceled. With a summer now free of other commitments, I applied for an internship with the GDA. I was selected to intern with the Structural Pest Division and was exposed to an industry I had long been aware of but had not understood, and certainly had not fully appreciated. Now, over a year later, I am writing this as a full-time field inspector for the division, following the completion of a second internship. My first summer as an intern was spent primarily in the Atlanta office. I spent much of my time answering phone calls or doing data entry. Though such tasks may sound menial, I was quickly impressed by the rigorous standards required to become licensed in structural pest control in Georgia, and the continuing education required to maintain certification. This was also in the earlier months of the COVID-19 pandemic, and I was struck by the resiliency of the industry professionals. While much of the nation was shutting down, pest control was deemed an essential service. There were still homes and businesses to protect from wood-destroying organisms and household pests, so the work carried on though temporary adjustments had to be made. I was also impressed by the members of the Structural Pest Division stationed at the Atlanta office. They seemed capable of answering every obscure question about regulation hurled their way. This also happened to be around the time the Asian Giant Hornet was making a buzz. They were

broadcast on local news stations under their sensationalized name "murder hornets," though they had not made it to Georgia yet, or anywhere east of the Mississippi River, according to the University of Georgia Extension Service.
The GDA office staff patiently answered each call made by panicked Georgia residents convinced the murder hornets were in their own backyards. The office staff would explain it was almost certainly a European Giant Hornet or Cicada Killer, and direct them to resources to help them identify the insect. They also helped those who wouldn't accept that explanation to get in touch with entomological experts who could give them a definitive answer. The GDA staff answered each call with empathy for the panicked callers, even though each one was a false alarm. Even now, a year later, the Asian Giant Hornet has not been found in Georgia.
Though my time in the Atlanta office gave me a glimpse of what it means to be a public servant, responding to the concerns of consumers and industry professionals alike, it wasn't until I began a second internship, this one in the field, that I got a full understanding of what being an inspector for structural pest entails. I had never been in a crawl space before this internship, so learning that inspecting them was one of the many things the job may require made me a bit apprehensive.
However, once I got under the first house and was able to lay my eyes on the damage wood-destroying organisms can cause, I quickly came to understand how important such inspections are to catch signs of infestation as early as possible and treat them properly. It turned out looking for evidence of wood-destroying organisms was quite interesting and made the time in the tight crawl spaces easier to bear. My nervousness was misplaced it was the day after the crawl I should have been apprehensive about. My core muscles were so sore I had to plead with my coworkers at school not to make jokes because it hurt to laugh.
Though every day was not filled with such excitement, I recognized the importance of the more routine inspections as well. Pest control companies are trusted to apply treatment measures inside homes, schools, restaurants, and businesses. Ensuring everything is done correctly and safely is important. Many of the company representatives I met as an

intern at routine inspections were willing to share their expertise and helped further deepen my understanding of their industry.
Some months into my field internship I got to assist with my first treatment on a structure, a historic home infested with wood-boring beetles. The home had multiple crawl spaces, so inspectors were dividing into teams in order to treat them all. We donned coveralls, respirators, gloves, and goggles and set to work. Even with all of us working, it took us several hours spread across two days to finish the large task of treating the entire structure.
Though I had been in enough crawl spaces for inspections at this point that the crawl itself did not cause me any soreness, I was certainly not used to having to pump up a sprayer in such close quarters and lacked any semblance of grace maneuvering with the sprayer. I emerged from the crawl space both days filthy, exhausted, and with a terrible ache in my arms and shoulders. I have the utmost admiration for anyone who does such work frequently!
There is so much I have gained through my internships with the GDA. I have gotten to meet some phenomenal industry professionals and learn from brilliant scientists in structural pest management. I was encouraged to do new and challenging things. I was a touch squeamish about bugs before this job, but after spending an afternoon sharing a crawl space with house centipedes I think I've overcome that as well.
The internships even led me to a career I had never considered before. I'm now part of a wonderful team doing work I feel is meaningful in the division. Though I'm sure not every GDA intern will leave with an entirely new goal for their life, I am certain they will be exposed to new challenges and experiences and will get to work with talented people. I highly encourage any student who thinks they might be interested to apply. Applications for the next year typically open in December and close in February.

Feds seek input on WOTUS rule
WASHINGTON The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Department of the Army announced plans for upcoming community engagements to inform their efforts to revise the definition of "waters of the United States."
Congress enacted the Clean Water Act in 1972 with the statutory objective "to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nation's waters." One of the act's principal tools in achieving that objective is a prohibition on the discharge of pollutants from a point source to navigable waters unless otherwise authorized under the act. Navigable waters are defined in the act as "the waters of the United States, including the territorial seas."
On June 9, 2021, EPA and the department of the army announced their intent to revise the definition of WOTUS. Upon review of the Navigable Waters Protection Rule, the agencies determined that the rule is significantly reducing clean water protections.
The agencies intend to revise the definition of WOTUS following a process that includes two rulemakings. A forthcoming foundational rule would restore the regulations defining WOTUS that were in place for decades until 2015, with updates to be consistent with relevant Supreme Court decisions. A separate, second rulemaking process would refine this regulatory foundation and establish an updated and durable definition of "waters of the United States."
EPA and Army will offer a series of engagement opportunities, including an opportunity for stakeholders and the public to provide written recommendations and a series of public meetings in August to hear perspectives on both rules.
Additionally, the previous rulemaking efforts have highlighted the regional variability of water resources and the importance of close engagement with stakeholders to understand the specifics of how they experience regulation under varying definitions of waters of the United States. For that reason, the agencies plan to convene 10 regionally focused and inclusive roundtables during the upcoming fall and winter. These roundtables will allow a full range of stakeholders to engage and discuss their experience with definitions of WOTUS including what has worked and what has not within their geographic areas. The roundtables will provide opportunities to discuss geographic similarities and differences, particular water resources that are characteristic of or unique to each region, and site-specific feedback about implementation.
For more information on submitting written recommendations or to register for the public meetings, see www.epa.gov/wotus.

UGA faculty host avian academy for Georgia educators embarking on new poultry science pathway

By Claire Marie Coleman The University of Georgia

Agriculture and science educators from around the state participated in the University of Georgia's 2021 Avian Academy program to learn about the state's No. 1 industry through hands-on labs led by teaching faculty in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.
Hosted by the Department of Poultry Science in late June, the free, three-day program allowed participants to explore various areas of poultry science and the poultry industry through lessons on internal anatomy, embryology, processing, poultry judging and more.
"The approval for the poultry science pathway elevates our connection to agricultural education and STEM teachers and their students. Both the curriculum and our Avian Academy program provide tangible and hands-on ways of learning life science concepts through practical applications," said Todd Applegate, professor and head of the department of poultry science.
"Bridges such as these between our faculty, college and university resources, and our educators throughout the state are key to helping students envision career pathways and opportunities, especially in the approximately 170,000 Georgia jobs that are directly or indirectly connected to the poultry sector," Applegate added.
The labs and lessons are designed to be easily replicated by participants in their own classrooms with the goal of introducing middle- and high-school students to the vast array of career opportunities within the poultry sector. In addition, teachers are equipped with the knowledge and hands-on experience to feel more comfortable bringing poultry science into their classrooms during the 2021-2022 school year following the approval in June of Georgia's first Poultry Science Pathway by the Georgia Depart-

ment of Education under the Georgia Standards of Excellence.
Cassidy Samples, a first-time Avian Academy participant, is an agriculture teacher at Pickens County High School, which will be one of the first schools to adopt the poultry science pathway.
"Avian Academy was such an engaging couple of days that really helped kickstart so many ideas I have for this upcoming year," Samples said. "I am so excited to start the poultry science pathway and see students engage in curriculum that is so relevant to our area of the state. I'm grateful to all those that helped make this new curriculum and pathway happen."
The new pathway consists of three courses basic agriculture, poultry science, and avian science and biotechnology and is designed to prepare students for further education and careers in poultry and avian science industries, food science, professional and graduate school studies and more.
By partnering world-renowned CAES faculty with agricultural educators through programs like avian academy and spearheading advancements such as the poultry science pathway, the department of poultry science will continue to broaden the reach and impact of the department's undergraduate recruitment efforts.

GDA confirms second case of Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease in Georgia
The Georgia Department of Agriculture's Animal Industry Division confirmed Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus 2 in domestic rabbits at a single Gwinnett County premise. This is the second confirmed case this year. The investigation is ongoing to determine the source of the virus and currently it does not appear to be linked to the earlier case diagnosed in Cobb County.
The premises will remain under quarantine pending additional investigation and development of a site-specific response plan.
GDA has approved the importation of RHDV vaccine by Georgia licensed veterinarians for administration to domestic rabbits living in Georgia. Once the vaccine is available in Georgia, GDA will post contact information for veterinary practices that will be administering vaccine. Georgia licensed veterinarians interested in more information regarding vaccination should contact the GDA Animal Health office at 404.656.3667 or AnimalHealth@agr.georgia.gov.
Previously on June 22, 2021, the Georgia Department of Agriculture's Animal Industry Division confirmed Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus 2 in domestic rabbits at a single Cobb County premise. The investigation is ongoing to determine the source of the virus and there are currently no other confirmed or suspected cases in Georgia. The remaining rabbits in the herd are completing a 90-day quarantine in an isolation facility. The affected premises are undergoing cleaning and disinfection before it will remain fallow for a minimum of 30 days
Georgia requires an official Certificate of Veterinary Inspection issued within the previous 30 days for domestic rabbits entering the state for sale, trade, adoption or exchange for a fee or other type of compensation. GDA is currently reviewing this rule and if appropriate, will post any updates to entry requirements regarding CVIs for rabbits coming into Georgia.
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 the office of the USDA Area Veterinarian in Charge (AVIC) 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.
For more information on national RHDV2 outbreak areas, please visit https:// www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/maps/animal-health/rhd.

Georgie's Drive Thru Fort Valley
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our No. 1 industry, agriculture! It's that time of year

again when the school bells ring in the start of the great Blue Bird school bus migration! The Blue Bird Bus Company is in Fort Valley, but do you know where the first Blue Bird bus was made? It was built at the Ford dealership on the corner of Commerce and Ball streets in downtown Perry. The owner, Albert Luce Sr., came up with the idea to help kids like my grandpa Daniel get to school safer. He had to walk to school in the snow uphill both ways, he said. Mr. Luce built his first bus from a Model T Ford in 1927. The body was made of steel and wood in a shop on the second floor above the dealership. This creation was named Blue Bird No. 1 and is on display at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. Spanish moss that grew near Big Indian Creek was used as stuffing for the seats. If there were any red bugs in the moss, I bet those kids were itching to get to school!

"The amount of infrastructure and capital that it took to make that happen is pretty astonishing, almost overwhelming, and would be for some folks," Godowns said. "But that Godfrey (feed) truck comes every week, whether you have made any money this week or not. You've got to keep feeding those cattle and projecting that you're going to have kill dates so that you can deliver product to the consumer."
Godowns said Egloff's processing plant, which is nearby, has helped reduce transportation costs. Egloff can also label the package with Caldwell's logo and adjust cuts as needed.

Godowns said he hopes to follow Egloff's success in selling beef directly and while continuing to grow their business to restaurants and other wholesale customers.
Sandlin said a big drawback for ranchers to sell beef directly is supply. As the business grows, they may face the same problems in supply as the large processors face today with a labor shortage.
"If you're trying to sell, like Joseph (Egloff) does at the niche market, you may not have as much supply as what your sources want to purchase," Sandlin said. "So, you may run out

of supply of the meat you have available when you get to the farmers market."
Egloff said he believes the market is open for smaller, regional beef producers as people continue to seek locally produced food.
"I feel like the small farmer is going continue to see some growth," he said. "When you raised the cow yourself, you processed him and delivered to the consumer, you take a lot of people out of that chain."
