Invasive Asian Longhorned tick identified in Pickens County

The Georgia Department of Agriculture Animal Health Division has confirmed the presence of the Haemaphysalis longicornis tick (otherwise known as the Asian Longhorned tick) on a cow in Pickens County.

10 0 t1h9A17nniv2e0r1s7ary identified in Georgia and the investigation is
ongoing to determine the extent of the tick's presence in the area.
The Asian Longhorned tick is native to eastern Asia. In 2017, the USDA confirmed

Subsequently, it's been identified in several eastern states.
According to the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, the Asian Longhorned tick can be found anywhere in

domestic animals and wildlife hosts. The GDA recommends the following ad-
vice to farmers, foresters, and those who frequent areas where ticks are abundant: Wear long pants, with shoes and socks

any ticks immediately. If possible, have someone else check the back of your neck

and other hard-to-see places. Work with your veterinarian and exten-

sion agent to discuss an appropriate tick

strategy for your flock or herd.

Check cattle, horses, sheep, goats, and

other free-ranging animals routinely for

any kind of ticks and remove immediately.

While there are no approved insecticides for the Asian Longhorned tick in the U.S.,

many of the commonly used permethrin preparations used in the country today are

effective. Livestock producers must observe

tissue withdrawal times for all insect preven-

tion or treatment preparations used in or on

food animals.

If you find a large number of ticks on an

individual animal in your herd, call your veterinarian and report it to GDA Animal

To remove a tick:

1.Use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin as you can.

2.Pull upward with steady, even pressure. Don't twist or jerk the tick.

3.After removing the tick, clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol or soap and water.

GDA teams up with State Rep. Wayne Howard to make trips to the gas pump easier for disabled Georgians

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

Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black and State Rep. Henry "Wayne" How-

ard, D-Augusta, are traveling the state together to unveil a bipartisan collaboration, Assistance at the Pump, for the benefit of disabled drivers who may face hurdles at the gas pump.
Over the next 18 months, all gasoline pumps in Georgia will get new Georgia Department of Agriculture inspection stickers directing those who need assistance pumping gas to call the store for help. Howard proposed the idea with the introduction of HB
Inspection stickers affixed to every gas pump in the state by Georgia Department of Agriculture Fuel Inspectors will now include phone numbers that disabled Georgians may use to call the station attendant and request assistance pumping gas.

437 during the regular General Assembly session in February. The bill would require attendants at self-service gas stations to assist disabled drivers with pumping gas, and to advertise that service with decals affixed to the pumps that prominently display the store's phone number.
The bill was passed by the House but referred to a Senate study committee, so Black proposed accomplishing the same result by updating inspection stickers currently used by GDA fuel inspectors who routinely inspect every gas pump in the state every 18 months to include the phone number of the store and instructions to physically challenged drivers for contacting the clerk inside for assistance.
"This is not only a victory for our disabled community, but also proof that bipartisan collaboration is always a viable option when attempting to solve an issue," Black said. "We would like to thank Representative Wayne Howard for his leadership in bringing this concern to our attention and working with us to find a workable solution for all involved."
-GDA Communications Office

Commissioner Gary Black joined State Rep. Henry "Wayne" Howard, D-Augusta, and Matthew Wilson, D-Brookhaven, at the Brookhaven RaceTrac to demonstrate how to use the new pump stickers that help physically challenged drivers in need of assistance at gas stations. (GDA Photo)

2-.10(1)(c). Expand and clarify signage require-

Good To Grow: Initiative looks to connect gardeners with local food pantries

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
Gardeners looking to share their backyard harvest have a new way to connect to food pantries through an initiative by Bonnie Plants and the non-profit organization Ample Harvest.
Grow More. Feed More. was launched last year to encourage home gardeners to donate 10 million pounds of fresh, home-grown vegetables to local food pantries. The idea then was to make it easier for gardeners to give back to their communities as the COVID-19 pandemic increased need across the United States.
Mike Sutterer, president and CEO of Bonnie Plants, said the effort in 2020 had 21 million people making a fresh produce donation to a food pantry for the first time and that many returned this year to continue donating extra vegetables from their gardens.
"One of the things we really want to do, and our partners at Ample Harvest want to do, is to make donating part of your vegetable harvest to your local food pantry," Sutterer said. "We want to make giving just a part of what it means to garden."
Ample Harvest created an online database to take the frustration out of finding a food pantry. Food pantries looking for fresh produce can register online at www.ampleharvest.org. Gardeners can go to the website and type in their zip code to generate a list of food pantries near them. The gardener can then call to determine what is needed and when to drop off a donation.
Ample Harvest was started in New Jersey in 2009 by Gary Oppenheimer. While serving as director of a community garden, he noticed that many gardeners left large amounts of their produce unharvested. The gardeners planned to collect the extra produce to donate but found it difficult to find a food pantry nearby.
Today, Ample Harvest has 8,000 food pantries registered in all 50 states and has enabled 42 million gardeners to donate garden surplus.
Sutterer said Bonnie Plants pitched in last year by converting their test gardens in Alabama and Ohio into production

gardens to donate as part of its Grow More. Feed More. initiative. That effort generated 10,000 pounds of harvest in the last two years.
The company has also committed to providing five percent of all its online plant sales during the spring planting season to Ample Harvest, which is estimated to result in more

than four million servings of fresh produce donated over five years, according to Ample Harvest.
Sutterer said that working with the South Alabama Food Bank which supplies food pantries in communities near the headquarters of Bonnie Plants in Union Springs, Ala. allows the company to coordinate donations to ensure the produce ends up on someone's table within 24 hours.
"It is an extremely efficient way to get food from gardeners to the people who need it the most. You really don't lose anything," Sutterer said. "You've got all of that freshness that is essentially taken directly from a garden to a food pantry and ultimately to someone's home."
Annette and Jared Thurmon in Adairsville used Ample Harvest to connect with a food pantry in Rome to make donations. They operate Azure Farm, a small hobby farm where they grow vegetables, apples and blueberries and raise small livestock.
They connected with the food pantry using Ample Harvest this year and donated extra bell peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, and other produce. Annette Thurmon said she thought food pantries could not accept fresh produce but learned through Ample Harvest that fresh produce was not only needed but sought after for being more nutritious than canned food.
"Families sign up for donations, and the pantry assigns them a certain time of the day to pick up. Some food pantries do it every day, and others do it three times a week," she said. "The food pantry will say you can bring your donations on Mondays and Thursdays because people come to them Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays or something like that."
They donated produce when they had extra, and Annette Thurmon said they hope to donate more as their farm grows. She said they plan to donate part of their fall crop, too. Regardless of the amount or size of the garden, she encouraged everyone to donate. "I tell people that if you are able to do just a grocery bag of something once a season, that is still more than nothing and will certainly help somebody."

ABAC President David Bridges announces his retirement

TIFTON Dr. David Bridges announced plans to retire from his position as president of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College.
"I have some other things in my life that I want to do," said Bridges, the longest-serving president in the 113-year history of ABAC. "I believe it is the right time. The institution is on solid footing for the future."
Bridges plans to retire from the position on Dec. 31.
"As the longest-serving president among our 26 institutions and ever in the history of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, President David Bridges for the past 16 years has been a leading voice for rural Georgia and its students," said Teresa MacCartney, acting chancellor of the University System of Georgia. "An ABAC graduate himself, he skillfully guided the college through the addition of bachelor's degrees, consolidation with the former Bainbridge State College and record growth in enrollment.
"Before that, he spent two decades as a faculty member and administrator at the University of Georgia. The son of a farmer and a teacher, he never strayed far from his roots.

The University System of Georgia is better for it, and we're incredibly grateful for his service to our students and state."
A native of Parrott, Bridges is the only ABAC president to have once been an ABAC student, receiving his ABAC associate degree in 1978 before completing his undergraduate and graduate degrees at Auburn University and his Ph.D. at Texas A&M University.
Prior to becoming the 10th president of ABAC on July 1, 2006, Bridges was the assistant dean of the Tifton Campus of the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. He joined the UGA faculty in 1987 as an assistant professor in the department of crop and soil sciences.
Bridges cited the introduction of bachelor's degrees as his greatest accomplishment at ABAC. He said several of the degree programs required extraordinary work and patience.
"Many people doubted whether ABAC could ever offer a bachelor's degree in forestry or agricultural education," Bridges said. "It did take a long time, but we did it."
After offering only associate degrees for

David Bridges
75 years, the college began offering bachelor's degrees in 2008. ABAC now offers 12 different bachelor's degrees with an enrollment that reaches toward 4,000 students from 155 of Georgia's 159 counties, 52 of Florida's 67 counties, 19 countries, and 18 states.
Through Bridges' work with the ABAC Foundation Inc., the college now offers more than $800,000 in scholarships for students,

the largest amount of scholarship funds in the history of ABAC.
In 2010, Bridges navigated the addition of the Georgia Museum of Agriculture to the ABAC campus. Formerly known as the Georgia Agrirama, the facility is still open to the public, and ABAC students guide thousands of school children annually through the Museum in the Destination Ag program.
In 2017 and 2018, Bridges concentrated his efforts on the consolidation of the former Bainbridge State College into ABAC. At its fall and spring commencements, ABAC now conducts three ceremonies, two for ABAC students in Tifton and another for students in Bainbridge. These are two special days that Bridges treasures each year.
"Graduation days are the days I will miss the most," Bridges said. "Seeing those students walk across that stage in Tifton and Bainbridge are always my favorite days at ABAC. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve my alma mater. It has been the greatest of times for me."

STEM Challenge for elementary schools will net winners $350 in prizes

MACON Georgia elementary classes in third through fifth grades are being challenged to put their science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills to work to explore the role healthy forests play in creating healthy communities by protecting our air, soil and water resources.
Elementary teachers and their students may enter the fall '21 Healthy Forests, Healthy Communities STEM Challenge by Nov. 12 for the chance to win a prize package totaling $350 for their class. The top grade winner from the third, fourth and fifth grade entries will each receive a prize package. The winners will be announced later in November.
The Georgia Association of Conservation Districts, a non-profit organization that works with the state's Soil and Water Conservation Districts to promote the conservation of natural resources, is sponsoring the statewide competition, which is being coordinated by the Georgia Ag Experience and Georgia Foundation for Agriculture.
Teachers interested in participating in the Healthy Forests, Healthy Communities STEM Challenge may visit www.gfb.ag/stemchallenge for more information and to register for the program. Once teachers register their class, they will receive access to a digital resource

toolkit that equips the class for participating in the Healthy Forests, Healthy Communities STEM challenge.
"The Georgia Association of Conservation Districts is excited to partner with the Georgia Foundation for Agriculture on its second statewide STEM Challenge," said GACD Executive Director Katie Sponberger. "This challenge, which focuses on the importance of forests, will help students understand and appreciate Georgia's diverse natural resources and learn how to conserve those resources for future generations."
Each participating class is being asked to explore products we use every day that are made from trees and how tree farmers grow a sustainable crop.
The GACD is also holding its annual poster contest this fall

with the theme of "Healthy Forests, Healthy Communities." Schools that submit their STEM Challenge entries by Nov. 1 and indicate they wish to be considered for the annual GACD Poster Contest will also be considered for the prizes that contest offers.
"We developed the Georgia Ag Experience/Georgia Foundation for Agriculture STEM challenge as a way to connect elementary students to Georgia agriculture. Every year students will have a new opportunity to solve a real world ag problem with a different community partner" said GFA Executive Director Lily Baucom.
The purpose of the challenge is to encourage elementary teachers and students in grades 3-5 to explore aspects of Geor-
gia agriculture by applying their STEM skills to solve real-world problems that farmers face in producing our food and fiber.
The Georgia Ag Experience/Georgia Foundation for Agriculture STEM Challenge is designed to be a bi-annual competition with a spring and fall contest. The GACD is the 2021 challenge sponsor.

Our new kids page, Fun on the Farm!, premiered in the Sept. 8 issue of the Market Bulletin. It caught the attention of subscriber Eddie Gentry, who shared the page with his 10-year-old granddaughter, Kate, a student at Calhoun Elementary School. According to her grandmother, Anne, Kate grabbed her crayons and set to coloring, producing the masterpiece you see here in about an hour. We're so happy the page has proven to be a hit with our young readers. Please share future versions with young people you know and be sure to send their work to us so we can show our readers all the young talent that's growing in Georgia!

Georgie's Drive Thru Five Otters Olive Orchard

Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our No. 1 The signature crop at Five Otters Olive Orchard.

industry, agriculture! Last week, Skip, Ginny, and I

went to see one of the newest crops grown in the

state of Georgia at Five Otters Olive Orchard near

Eastman. Sharon and Mike Flannagan have tended

their orchard of Arbequina, Arbosana, and Koronei-

ki olive trees for the past seven years. These green

olive varieties are native to the Mediterranean region

and are grown to be pressed to make some of the

best cooking oil on the market. When we visited the

orchard, they were picking some olives by hand and

some with a New Holland/Braud 9090X. The 9090X

drove over each row and gently pushed against the

trees to drop the olives into two rows of cups running

on belts that emptied the olives into hoppers on the

back of the machine. When the hoppers were full,

a conveyor belt dumped the olives into field bins.

These olives have been selected for their high oil

production, but still only produce between 20 and 40

gallons of oil per ton.

A Youngster's Perspective:
Every kid should have farm animals
By Caleb Mitchem
W hat's your favorite farm animal? Is it a horse or donkey? Or might it be ducks or chickens? I think you should have them, and here's why. Not only will animals teach you responsibility, but also they will learn how to do chores. Because of this they will be more independent, so they will gain useful skills for the future. And people learn most of what they know as a kid, in my opinion.
Another reason is that kids will learn how fun they are. They will want to groom them and cuddle them. Or you could just watch what funny things they do. What would you do?
Finally, they will learn to get dirty, like stepping in mud or chicken or duck poop. If so, they won't be afraid to get dirty period. And they'll get used to shoveling manure from a horse or donkey. Do you get dirty daily?
As you can see, this farm life is good because the only way they will get spoiled is with animals. So you could have sheep, donkeys, goats, horses, ducks, chickens or hogs (pigs). What's your favorite animal? Tell me. (P.S. Mine's a goat.)
-Caleb Mitchem, 11, lives on a hobby farm in Al-
abama with his parents, dogs, horses, a mini-don-
key, and numerous chickens and ducks. He is the
great-grandson of Market Bulletin subscriber John Bartlett of McDonough.

A nearly normal October

Georgia National Fair returns with old and new attractions

By Amy Carter
amy.carter@agr.georgia.gov
You don't have to see the smile on Stephen Shimp's face to know it's there as he talks about the return of the Georgia National Fair. The show is on again after a COVID-induced hiatus in 2020, and no one is happier about it than the executive director of the Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter in Perry.
"Last year, the best way to describe it was depressing," Shimp said. "The fair is our number one event that we have every year and to see those dates come and go without the fair, it was hard on me and all of our staff. It just made the year feel different. But we've had two years to put this one together so we're hoping it will be the best one we've put on."
The gates will open on the 32nd year of the Georgia National Fair at 3 p.m. on Oct. 7. In deference to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, masks and vaccinations are recommended for all who attend. With a few modifications, all aspects of the traditional fair experience will be offered daily from Oct. 8 through Oct. 17.
"We're really just asking our fairgoers to be courteous to each other," Shimp said. "If they don't feel well, stay home. If they don't feel comfortable in the buildings, there's plenty to see outside. We're leaving it up to the fairgoers to make those decisions on their own. Give each other space and come out and have a good time."
Not far from the barns that host youth livestock shows both weekends of the fair, an acre of ground near the South Gate of the fairgrounds has been transformed into the Starbuck Learning Farm, an urban mini-farm demonstration site.

The site was prepared in partnership with Massey Ferguson and Super Sod. Flint River Fresh out of Albany will cultivate the site and conduct daily workshops throughout the run of the fair teaching the basics of urban farming using conservation practices such as cover crops, crop rotation, drip irrigation and composting. The site will support seasonal crops, with the harvest donated to area food banks, and create an outdoor classroom for hands-on learning.
Maggie Dimes, newly appointed director of marketing and business development at the fairgrounds, said several new acts will bring fresh entertainment opportunities to the fair. The Bird Man of Las Vegas is booked for his first visit and will bring free-flying exotic birds such as condors, macaws, parrots, and a singing kookaburra.
Randy Cabral will combine comedy and juggling in daily shows on the American Stage, while a sister act, Presley & Taylor, will bring a modern country vibe to the usual slate of daily concerts featuring various musical groups. The price of the concerts is included in the cost of admission this year, and all concerts will be outdoors.
The Baby Barn will once again be a main attraction hosted by the Georgia Department of Agriculture inside the Georgia Grown Building. The department has reduced the number of nursing and expectant mothers inside the building to two sows and three cows this year, and organizer Lee Lancaster of GDA said fairgoers can expect to see one calf born daily, if things go as planned.
The Georgia Grown experience on the other side of the building will be scaled back, as well, to include several static and interactive displays. The Georgia Grown store will still be in operation selling goods grown and made by Georgia

producers. A full midway operated by Reithoffer Shows will include
rides and games. Youth educational and home arts and fine arts exhibits will also be on display in the McGill Marketplace, Miller-Murphy-Howard Building and Heritage Hall for the duration of the fair.

43rd Sunbelt Ag Expo offers the latest in farm technology, research

By Jay Jones

Like an old friend returning after a long trip, the Sunbelt Ag Expo opens later this month in Moultrie after a one-year absence due to concerns from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The agriculture trade show opens on Oct. 19 and runs for three days at Spence Field in Moultrie. Chip Blalock, executive director, said they are looking forward to welcoming people back for the first time since 2019. He said it has been quiet on the Expo grounds over the last 18 months. The Sunbelt Expo chose to hold its annual summer research Field Day virtually this year.
"Exhibitors are just excited to get back out and show their wares. The internet and virtual meetings are wonderful things, but agriculture is and always will be a people business, and there is no better way to achieve that than at a farm show," Blalock said.
COVID remains a concern, and Blalock said the expo will encourage visitors to wear face masks and practice social distancing.
Blalock noted that the number of vendors will be down between five and 10 percent from the 1,200 vendors at the 2019 Expo. He said COVID concerns caused some vendors to choose not to attend this year, while some international vendors could not travel here in time to prepare for the show.
"It is going to be a little bit different and a little bit unique, but we're looking forward to having it," Blalock said. He added that the expo's largest U.S. vendors will be there showing off their newest farm implements and technological advances.
Expo visitors will be the first in North America to see the new John Deere CP770 round-bale cotton picker demonstrated. The picker is fitted with high-speed stalk lifters and faster spindles. According to John Deere, the CP770 can wrap and eject a module in just over 30 seconds.
Manufacturers, including Georgia-based KMC and AGCO, will also demonstrate current and new models in peanut harvesting. Hay cutters, along with tedders, balers and rakes will also be demonstrated.

Hundreds of learning opportunities will be offered daily on the grounds. Among them will be chefs Holly Chute and Olivia Rader with the Georgia Department of Agriculture, who will hold cooking demonstrations several times each day inside the Georgia Grown building.
Though there will be many things to see for large farm production, Blalock said there will also be opportunities for backyard gardeners to learn new things.
Fredando "Farmer Fredo" Jackson, executive director of the Flint River Fresh Sustainable Living Center in Albany, will host a series of gardening demonstrations at the expo's garden plots, including weed control, irrigation, container gardening and growing food year-round.
Blalock also said the expo would again have an educational component for youth this year.
Advocacy in Action is a team event that challenges high school and collegiate teams to create a video based on a presented topic and submitted before the show. The finalists named will then work with agricultural leaders to create a video during the expo advocating agriculture.
The Youth Educational Challenges will offer floral designing, horticulture, wildlife, animal science, and mechanics identification competitions.

Blalock explained the Sunbelt

student competitions offer a great

opportunity for educators to prac-

tice running a large competition

while preparing students to enter

state or regional competitions.

"It gives us an excellent oppor-

tunity to help educators and to also

interact with the next generation of

our consumers and future farm-

ers," Blalock said.

The expo also will offer exhib-

itors providing various services to

farmers and those in the agricul-

ture fields.

One of those services includes

providing more locally grown

beef, pork, lamb, and goat to Geor-

gia hospitals. Robin Rau, chief

executive officer of Miller Coun-

ty Hospital in southwest Georgia,

helped develop the initiative to

what is now known as the Georgia

Rural Hospital Collaborative.

Rau, who also operates a cattle

farm, said the idea came about a

few years ago to find a better way

for hospitals, nursing homes and other healthcare facilities to

obtain protein for their patients. The problem was amplified

early into the COVID pandemic when hospitals found it dif-

ficult to purchase the food they needed.

Rau explained that the food collective acquired a process-

ing facility in southwest Georgia and has agreements with

several local farmers to sell beef, pork, and lamb to supply

healthcare facilities.

She and representatives of the food collective will be

at the expo to recruit producers, with plans to expand

with processing facilities across the state in the next three

years.

"It's about the farmer who gets a fair share for that ani-

mal that he has raised, and it's about the healthcare facilities,

most of whom are not for profit themselves, who will be able

to get a comparable product that is locally grown right here

in Georgia," Rau said.

Daily discussions covering cattle management, equine,

poultry, aquaculture, sheep, goats, and natural resources

management are also on the schedule.
