`Make Ready' program upgrades Atlanta State Farmers Market for hybrid vehicles

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

By Amy Carter amy.carter@agr.georgia.gov
FOREST PARK The Georgia Power Co., Collins Brothers Produce, and the Georgia Department of Agriculture are harnessing the power of electricity to make the Atlanta State Farmers Market a more energy-efficient place to do business.
Georgia Power and Collins have installed 71 of a projected 107 stand-by power stations around the Collins Brothers warehouse at the market. The stations will allow cargo trucks idling at the loading dock to switch from diesel fuel to electricity to power the compressors on their refrigerated units.
"We're delighted to have partnered up with Georgia Power to create a shore power system so that when we back our trucks in they don't have to run on diesel fuel, we can just plug them into the electric stand-by units," said David Collins, owner of Collins Brothers Produce. "It's been a project we started on two or three years ago. We've talked about it,

The project will accomplish savings on two fronts, said Ed Harmon, manager of Georgia Power's Electric Transportation Pro-

gram.

"Diesel is close to four bucks right now.

For every $3 of diesel spent it's $1 in elec-

tricity, so there's a fairly decent cost savings

and it also reduces the environmental impact

because now instead of (a truck) sitting out in

the yard and idling diesel he's switched over

to electric," Harmon said.

The project came about as construction

Collins' distribution arm, Phoenix Wholesale

Foodservice, in place of six open-air sheds

that dated back to the 1950s. The 150-acre market opened in 1959 adjacent to the freeway that would become Interstate 75, in the shadow of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Inter-

Farmers look for savings, ROI in technological advances

By Jay Jones jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
The latest agricultural technology promises increased efficiency in the field, but the bottom line for producers remains the return on investment.

Recovered profits using precision equipment in the field are hard to find at first, said Wes Porter, Crop and Soil Science researcher at the University of Georgia's College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. The savings come from the edges of a field where a producer precisely marks an end of

a row for planting, input applications and harvesting.
In Georgia, row crops are the easiest to see a rapid return on investment of new technology. For peanuts, plants will grow beyond the row's end and make it challenging to harvest. He said a technology like auto-steer that drives a tractor in precise straight lines helps in all seasons.
"If we can't find it with our digger, we leave a lot of those peanuts in the ground, and we've lost a lot of money," Porter said. "If we can come back dead-on top of that line where we planted them and harvest them, we've regained our efforts during the season, and we can pay for that system quickly."
Auto-steer has been around for more than 15 years and has proven itself beneficial to producers. Along with its obvious function of making straight lines in the field, auto-steer offers other benefits that are not as measurable.
"It allows us to do more in the tractor at that particular time," Porter said. "If we're not having to focus so much on driving straight and this sounds simplistic we're then able to add some potential control systems. That can be a controller on a sprayer, on a fertilizer applicator, or a section control that makes us more efficient in the tractor

Crop insurance deadline nears in Georgia for
barley, canola, oats, and wheat growers
VALDOSTA The USDA's Risk Management Agency reminds Georgia barley, canola, oats, and wheat growers that the final date to apply for crop insurance coverage for the 2022 crop year is Sept. 30. Current policyholders who wish to make changes to their existing coverage also have until the Sept. 30 sales closing date to do so.
Federal crop insurance is critical to the farm safety net. It helps producers and owners manage revenue risks and strengthens the rural economy. Coverage is available for barley in Crisp, Jefferson, Pike, and Walton counties. Coverage is available for canola in Bartow, Calhoun, Chattooga, Cherokee, Floyd, Franklin, Gordon, Hart, Murray, Polk, Walker, and Whitfield counties. Coverage is also available for oats and wheat in select counties. Please contact your insurance agent to see if your county is covered.
Growers are encouraged to visit their crop insurance agent soon to learn specific details for the 2022 crop year.
RMA is authorizing additional flexibilities due to coronavirus while continuing to support producers, working through Approved Insurance Providers to deliver services, including processing policies, claims, and agreements. RMA staff are working with AIPs and other customers by phone, mail and electronically to continue supporting crop insurance coverage for producers. Farmers with crop insurance questions or needs should continue to contact their insurance agents about conducting business remotely (by telephone or email). More information can be found at farmers.gov/coronavirus.
Crop insurance is sold and delivered solely through private crop insurance agents. A list of crop insurance agents is available online using the RMA Agent Locator. Producers can use the RMA Cost Estimator to get a premium amount estimate of their insurance needs online. Learn more about crop insurance and the modern farm safety net at www.rma. usda.gov.

Berry's Tree Farm is going to Washington
A Georgia-grown Christmas tree will be displayed in
the Vice President's residence this holiday season

Berry's Tree Farm in Covington was recently named the 2021 Reserve Grand Champion in the National Christmas Tree and Wreath contest hosted by the National Christmas Tree Association. The honor brings with it the opportunity to furnish a live, farmgrown Christmas tree to the residence of the Vice President of the United States during the upcoming holiday season.

The award brings with it the opportunity to deliver a Georgia-grown Christmas tree to the official residence of the Vice President of the United States later this year. (Provided photo)

Berry's Tree Farm was established with the planting of its first crop of Christmas trees in 1977, but the land itself has been farmed by the Berry Family since 1894. Their first crop of Christmas trees matured in 1983. The farm now sells more than 3,000 trees per year. The farm is an agritourism draw, with a miniature train and petting zoo and a concession stand.
The farm has provided trees to Stone Mountain, the Georgia State Capitol building, and the Governor's Mansion. Their trees were even featured in the movie Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love, based on the life of Dolly Parton and filmed in Covington. Get a behind-the-scenes look at production of the movie online at https://www.exploregeorgia.org/blog/

The National Christmas Tree Association was founded in 1955. It is the national trade association and advocacy organization for the farm-grown Christmas tree industry leading its public policy/governmental affairs and serving as the "voice of the industry" with the media.
NCTA represents hundreds of active member farms, 38 state and regional associations, and more than 4,000 affiliated businesses that grow and sell Christmas trees or provide related services. To learn more about the NCTA, visit www.realchristmastrees. org, or call 800.975.5920.

Mercer Medical Moment: What you need to know about strokes

By Sinad O'Bryant Second year MD student Mercer University School of Medicine, Savannah
Strokes are the fifth leading cause of death in the United States.
A stroke happens when the blood flow to the brain is decreased or stopped. This decrease in blood flow is commonly caused by a blocked artery or a brain blood vessel bursting open. Sometimes the blood vessels to the brain can also be closed temporarily, causing a mini stroke. A mini stroke usually resolves within a few minutes but is very serious because it can mean a full stroke is on its way. Without the proper blood flow bringing oxygen and nutrients to the brain, brain cells begin to die. This can cause permanent damage to the brain, leading to longterm disability. Because the brain is important for all bodily functions, a stroke is considered a medical emergency, so it is key to know the signs, risk factors, and how to prevent a stroke.
Signs of a stroke The American Stroke Association has a handy acro-
nym to remember if you think you or someone else is having a stroke, F.A.S.T.
Face drooping Arm weakness Speech slurred Time to call 911!
Some other possible signs of a stroke include sudden onset of muscle weakness, numbness, confusion, trouble seeing, trouble with walking, impaired balance, and severe headache. Time is critical during a stroke, so if you or someone else is experiencing any signs of a stroke, call 911 to receive help as soon as possible. Immediate treatment can lessen many long-term effects of having a stroke and in some cases can even prevent death.
Prevention Stroke prevention can start today. Understanding what
may increase your chance of having a stroke is essential

for prevention. However, some risk factors can be out of our control.
You may be at higher risk for stroke risk if you are: Over 55 years old African American Male With a family history of strokes
Some other risk factors can be modified, known as lifestyle risk factors. These factors include:
Uncontrolled high blood pressure. Being overweight. Physical inactivity. Drinking too much alcohol. Cigarette smoking or secondhand smoke exposure. High cholesterol. Diabetes. Obstructive sleep apnea. Cardiovascular disease. Heart arrhythmias. COVID-19 infection.
Knowing your own stroke risk factors can help to form a plan of action in leading a healthy lifestyle.
Stroke prevention can be found in many aspects of everyday life:
Eat a balanced diet with grains, protein, fruits, and vegetables and limit salty, processed, and fast foods.
Have an exercise routine of activity you enjoy for at least 30 minutes a day.
If you smoke, find support to quit smoking. Drink alcohol in moderation. Manage and control any underlying conditions,
such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol by following treatment plans given by your doctor.
Strokes can be a scary possibility. But the encouraging news is that, according to the American Stroke Association, 80 percent of strokes can be preventable through healthy lifestyle choices. Strokes, when treated quickly, can leave limited or no lasting disabilities. And recovering from a stroke is doable, as stroke rehabilitation paves a way closer to the normalcy of life. Just remember to think F.A.S.T., and you could save a life, including your own.

Larry For The Country: My tribute to grandma

By Larry Walker
lwalker@whgmlaw.com
The shoes. One of my enduring memories is of her shoes. They were either dark blue or black with squatty heels and sometimes buckles and sometimes laces. She wore them, except on Sundays, without socks or stockings. The shoes were what we today would call "grandma shoes."
I can see her in my memory coming around the corner of her modest frame house in her cotton dress probably made from a feed sack her hair in a bun, with hoe or broom brush in hand wearing her "grandma shoes." A kinder, gentler woman never lived, and she loved me (called me "Lallie Boy") and all of her family very deeply. She would be amazed to know that all these years after her death someone was writing a column about her something, save a brief obituary, that never happened in her 74 years on this earth. She was Josephine May until she married David Flournoy Walker in 1889 and then she was Josephine Walker. But what I heard her called most often outside the immediate family was "Aunt Jodie." It was not until I was grown that I understood

why my grandparents were "Uncle David" and "Aunt Jodie" to so many. You see, Papa had 15 brothers and sisters and Grandma had 10 or 12, resulting in many nieces and nephews. My father, Cohen Walker, told me that he had "living at one time 76 first cousins." No wonder I thought as a child that "Uncle" and "Aunt" were parts of their names.
Grandma and Papa lost a 15-year-old son, Clyde, to a hunting accident, and I had heard through the years that Grandma never really got over this. Perhaps that was why she was so determined that her other two children, Lillian and Cohen, would get an education. Both got college degrees and both started their careers as school teachers.
Grandma made wonderful peach tarts. She liked her iced tea very sweet and with "plenty of ice." She knew I liked strawberries and saw to it that I got these home-grown delicacies often, with plenty of sugar how good! Her most valuable possession was probably a standard upright piano and while she didn't play, some of her grandchildren did. She loved to gather the family around the piano for singing hymns. She helped with the hog killing, syrup making, and other farm and household chores. She read her Bible and the Sunday School material, regularly. She was a faithful member of Pine Hill Methodist Church. She liked to fish and to cook and eat fish. Also, she liked barbeque. She didn't have a mean or pretentious bone in her body. She was sweet just like her iced tea.

Outside of her family, I believe Grandma loved her flowers as much as anything in her life. Her beds of Zinias, Nasturtiums, Roses, Amaryllis, Camellias, Petunias, and others rimmed her grass-free swept yards and she called on me to help hoe and weed which I didn't like to do. She also told me to help keep the chickens out of the flower beds which I did like to do.
I said she was kind. Once, she spanked me. Probably not hard enough to break an egg. Then she must have apologized 15 times for this punishment saying, "Lallie Boy, you are the only grandchild I ever spanked." Let me tell you why I got this punishment. Grandma and Papa had an open well. Afraid I might fall in, she forbade me to "look in the well." When she went around the corner, back to the well lookin' I went, resulting in corporal punishment! Six grandchildren, many years, one deserved spanking.
Grandma, I am sorry I looked into the well when you told me not to. I wish I had been more willing to help you get the nut grass out of the flower beds. I regret that I did not thank you more for the peach tarts and strawberries. I wish I had been more cooperative when you asked me to sing hymns with you. But I did love you very much, and I think you knew that. I know that you were a wonderful grandmother, and I forgive you for the deserved spanking you gave me. I miss you and look forward to our being together, again, some day.

cab." Porter also defined precision ag as an um-
brella term that includes new equipment and new farming techniques. He said the next step is in variable rate technology, in which GPS is used to map out sections of a field to determine soil conditions in each. A producer can then adjust fertilizer application based on the need of each section. Variable rate technology's promised benefit could allow a producer to spend less on fertilizer.
"We can take and apply precision ag to soil sampling, and then we can collect spatial samples throughout that field and do a better job with fertilizer placement for our crops," Porter said. "If we have issues across the field, we can address those with precision ag technology using that technique."

Bob Davison grows cotton and peanuts on 1,200 acres in Brooks County, where auto-steer technology has proven its worth to him.
"I hardly know anybody that doesn't use it," he said. "A few guys have tractors that aren't capable of receiving it, but they're few and far between."
Davison said he isn't sold on variable rate technology yet. He said he doubts the cost savings because several soil testings are required throughout the year, which a soil lab or subcontractors do. He said for now, he will put that money into extra fertilizer.
"I guess that people who do it can explain it better for me. Farmers could give me a testimony and say, `Yes, I did field A and field B side by side, and I was more than satisfied

with the outcome,'" Davison said. "There's a lot of salesmanship involved, and there's a lot of salesmanship in everything, but that's the quickest way to get your attention when you start telling people, `I can save you money.'"
At field day in Midville on Aug. 11, researchers tested precision ag involving current use sprayers. Simerjeet Virk, a UGA crop and soil science researcher, demonstrated several methods for inputs.
Virk discussed pre-plant fertilizer methods using a 2-row strip-till modified for application within the soil. Other input methods are being tried, including dragging tubing along the base of plants for nitrogen application. The device is called a "Y-drop" that drops two tubes from the nozzle down

to the ground. For pesticides, researchers are working with hooded sprayers to reduce drift.
Virk also discussed new methods in planter speed for peanuts and cotton. He explained that proper settings during planting are critical for good crop yield, but other factors like weather and soil conditions can affect producers. The research looks to find a way to put seeds into the ground as quickly and efficiently as possible.
"Every year, we get a lot of weather challenges or other types of challenges during the planting season, so our planting window is getting narrower and narrower," Virk said. "When these growers are trying to plant, they want to see if they can plant a little faster or try to get more acres planted."

Connect the clotsl

Connect the clotsl for such a long list is the boll weevil, which took hold in 1915, forcing farmers to grow anything but cotton for about 70 years. It's hard to imagine, but when the boll weevil arrived, cotton was grown from Atta-

pulgus to Cornelia and all the way to the Tennessee

state line. Luckily, a man named John W. Clayton

delivered a new crop apples into North Geor-

new industry, the Southern Railroad commissioned

A correction and a clarification to our heritage poultry breeds story

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
The story, "Heritage poultry breeds bring color, variety to the hen house," in the Sept. 8 Market Bulletin misstated the egg production from Black Copper Marans. Casey Ritz, a University of Georgia Poultry specialist, said Black Marans typically are expected to produce 200 eggs annually, or 2-to-3 a week. Ritz said that number is only an estimate and added that nutrition, lighting management, and general care of the birds all play a role in the productivity of hens.
Fernando del Aguila Jr., Georgia representative for the American Poultry Association, agreed. He said Marans are a dual-purpose breed that can be used for both eggs and competitive shows.
"You can breed for higher egg production or less egg production," del Aguila said. "But on average, that is about what you get with Marans, about 200 per year. And that's the run across the breed, not just Black or Black Copper.

There are a ton of them." A good marker to follow is that the darker the egg, the
less production you can expect from the hen because the egg will stay in the hen longer.
Bob Berry, owner of Bob's Biddies in Ray City, said Marans are good-natured toward people, making them a favorite for hobbyists, but they are limited in egg production.
"A lot of people use Black Copper Marans in shows, and a lot of people have them for pets, and they're awesome, but they don't hatch well," Berry said.
To clarify, the Georgia Poultry Laboratory Network in Gainesville monitors the health and safety of Georgia's poultry flocks through testing and diagnostic services. Those interested in starting a flock should contact their local UGA Extension office for information about starting and keeping chickens.
As a reminder, a candling certificate is required to sell "shell-eggs" for consumption in Georgia. There is no candling requirement for selling hatching eggs.

The Georgia Poultry Laboratory Network provides monitoring and diagnostic services to contribute to the safety and health of poultry flocks, eggs, and poultry products. You can find information on common poultry diseases on their website at https://www.gapoultrylab.org/ resources/disease-information/.
For basic information on starting your flock, please reach out to your local extension office. To find your local agent, call 1.800.ASK.UGA1, or go to the online listing of extension offices at https:// extension.uga.edu/county-offices.html.
