UGA Ag Forecast 2021

Economists find hope for ag in the new year

By Jay Jones jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
Agricultural economists expressed hope for steady recovery from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic as they discussed the coming year during the University of Georgia's annual Ag Forecast meeting. Due to concerns about the pandemic, the session was held virtually on Jan. 29.
Nick Place, newly appointed dean of UGA's College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, opened his first ag forecast acknowledging the challenges of 2020 and the optimism many hold for 2021.
"We all know 2020 was a very diffi-

10 0 t1h9A17nniv2e0r1s7ary cult year. We faced struggles not only with
health and a global pandemic but also with budget cuts," Place said. "Luckily, our 2021 forecast predicts a more positive, upward trend and recovery from this COVID recession that we are in."

Place also highlighted the Rural Scholars program that began last year, which will award full, four-year scholarships for up to five CAES students each year from the state's rural communities.
The keynote speakers offered perspec-

on their operations. Kane explained the survey was done in two parts initially in May and the follow-up survey in December.
They hoped the surveys could provide more current insight into the economic effects of the pandemic. The 2021 Ag Snapshots, UGA's annual focus on Georgia's agricultural sector, provides information for 2019, the most recent statistics available, and showed agriculture contributed $70.1 billion to the Georgia economy and provided 359,000 jobs.
"To take a look at what had happened to agriculture in 2020, we kind of wanted to see where we stood in 2019," she said.

Repurposing Central State Hospital

FoodService Partners introduces agribusiness to historic site

By Amy Carter
amy.carter@agr.georgia.gov
MILLEDGEVILLE At its peak of service, the Bobby Parham Kitchen produced 30,000 meals per day for the Central State Hospital complex. Built in the early 1960s and expanded in the 1990s, the kitchen facility measured 108,000 square feet including an acre of freezer space and presented a sizeable opportunity to community leaders when a shift to deinstitutionalize mental health services led to the reduction of inpatient care and closure of the state-run kitchen.
Once the largest psychiatric institution in the country, the hospital housed more than 12,000 patients cared for by 6,000 staff members on an 8,000-acre campus. In a stra-

tegic downsizing that culminated in 2011, Central State reduced its footprint to 65 acres and 11 buildings dedicated to secure custody of mentally ill inmates of the state.
With the help of the Georgia General Assembly and Govs. Nathan Deal and Brian Kemp, some 600 acres of the hospital grounds and several historic buildings are in the hands of the Central State Hospital Local Redevelopment Authority, which capped four years of negotiation in August 2020 with an anchor tenant that plans to enlist Georgia farmers in a global food production business housed in the Parham Kitchen.
"Part of the purpose of this is to create an international food center, buying everything they possibly can within 250 miles of Milledgeville, Georgia, which is going to
See CENTRAL STATE, page 16

The Powell Building (formerly the Central Building) has been a landmark on the Central State Hospital campus since the mid-19th century. Officials hope future development will preserve the historic faade of the building while attracting new business and jobs to the site.

Tim Lowrimore. Tim says stepping into his new role is a lot like "coming home" because he served the GFC as a field forester many years ago, after graduating from the University of Georgia with a forestry degree. In the years that followed, he held various positions in private industry and public service, each of which contributed to his leadership capabilities and importantly to his passion for Georgia's forest industry.

Georgie's Drive Thru Macon
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our No. 1 industry, agriculture! If there's one thing I've learned over the last few years writing these articles, it's to appreciate our history and the sacrifices made by the people of Georgia. Last year, I stopped in front of the Macon Centreplex to pay tribute to Rodney M. Davis, a brave Marine who sacrificed everything for his fellow soldiers. Sgt. Davis joined the Marines in 1961 and was transferred from Camp Lejeune, N.C., to Vietnam in 1967. On Sept. 6 of that year, his platoon was pinned down in a fierce battle in the Que Son Valley. He ran down the line and encouraged his men to keep fighting. When he saw an enemy grenade land in the trench at his feet, he jumped on top of it without hesitation. By sacrificing his life to save his friends, he was honored with the Congressional Medal of Honor two years later. In 1987, the USS Rodney M. Davis, an Oliver Hazard Perry class guided-missile frigate of the U.S. Navy, was named in his honor. And his hometown of Macon erected a statue of Sgt. Davis kneeling in his battle fatigues and holding his rifle, keeping watch over a memorial to the soldiers, policemen, EMTs and firemen who lost their lives, or went missing in action, while protecting the rest of us.

Cook Georgia Grown: Romance in four courses

Editor's Note: With Valentine's Day on the horizon, these four oldies from our archives seemed to tell a fun little story of affection's ebb and flow. Believe it or not, these four courses are based on a scientific classification of the phases of marriage, compiled from several sources, including the University of Florida.
First Course (Courtship) Science says chocolate increases levels of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a mood-enhancing chemical released when one is happy, such as (presumably) when one falls in love. That makes fudge a love potion. Don't forget to invite us to the wedding.
Valentine Fudge
Ingredients: 2 squares unsweet chocolate 2 Tbsps butter 1/8 tsp salt 1 lb box powdered sugar 1 egg white (slightly beaten) 2 Tbsps evaporated milk 1 tsp vanilla cup toasted chopped almonds cup raisins (dark or light)
Directions: Melt chocolate and butter over hot water. Add vanilla and salt. Mix in of the powdered sugar and blend well. Add egg white and milk and the rest of the powdered sugar and blend well. Add the almonds and raisins.
Spread into buttered 8-inch square pan. Chill until firm, then cut into small squares. Keep refrigerated. Makes about 1 lbs.
-Submitted by Mrs. Doshia Trimble of Shelby, Ohio; published Feb. 12, 1975
Second Course (Marriage) Old wives say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. This might not be the healthiest dish for his heart, but it checks all the boxes for satisfying a manly appetite.
Husband's Delight
Ingredients: 2 lbs ground beef 1 cup chopped onion

8 oz cream cheese 1 can golden mushroom soup cup catsup 8-10 refrigerator biscuits
Directions: In a large skillet brown ground beef with onion, drain grease. Add cream cheese, soup and catsup to ground beef and transfer to a large casserole dish.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 10 minutes; top with biscuits and bake an additional 10-20 minutes until biscuits are browned.
-Submitted by Frankie Phillips, Union City; published Dec. 26, 1984
Third Course (Rebellion) A recipe for those times when you're feuding and you want them to know you're mad, but not mad enough to let them starve.
Broken Glass Cake
Ingredients: 1 box lemon gelatin 1 box lime gelatin 1 box orange gelatin 1 box strawberry gelatin 6 cups hot water (1 cups for each box
of gelatin) 1 envelop plain gelatin 1/4 cup cold water 1 cup pineapple juice cup sugar 1 pint whipping cream 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (About
32 cracker squares crushed) 6 Tbsps sugar 2/3 cup butter
Directions: Prepare each box flavored gelatin with 1 cups hot water. Pour in separate ice trays and let set overnight in refrigerator. Do not place in freezer section. When chilled overnight, cut up gelatin in each tray to resemble cubes of broken glass. Return gelatin cubes to refrigerator while remainder of recipe is being prepared.
Dissolve plain gelatin in cold water. Add pineapple juice and sugar. Mix and heat until warm. Set warm mixture aside to cool.
Whip the cream until it is stiff. Using a rubber spatula, fold whipped cream,

gelatin cubes and gelatin mixture into large bread pan or Pyrex dish, 9x3 inches, which has been lined with graham cracker crust. Crust is made with prepared graham crackers crumbs, about 32 finely crushed graham cracker squares, which are held together with mixture of sugar and butter. Enough dry crumbs to sprinkle over top of cake should be reserved before making crust.
Chill cake in refrigerator at least 2 or 3 hours before serving. Cut in 1518 squares to serve at party or large gathering, or to allow family or small group "seconds" as wished.
-Submitted by Mrs. Bessie Cain of Suches; date unknown
Fourth Course (Reunion) We didn't name this one, and the person who submitted it did so anonymously. Feel free to draw your own conclusions.
Hanky Panky Cake
Ingredients: 1 pkg white cake mix 1 pkg instant pudding mix, pistachio
flavor 1 cup vegetable oil cup chopped pecans 3 eggs 1 cup club soda
Directions: Mix together all ingredients and beat well. Pour batter into prepared cake pans (2 layer pans or one 13x9-inch pan). Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-40 minutes. Remove from oven, cool and ice.
Cover-up icing: 1 envelope whipped topping mix, 1 cup cold milk, 1 pkg pistachio pudding mix, plus one or more of these: coconut, nuts or Maraschino cherries. Beat first three ingredients together until thick. Spread on cake and cover with one or more of the last three ingredients. Keep cake in refrigerator.

2020 Georgia Quality Cotton Award winners announced during virtual meeting

The 2020 Georgia Quality Cotton Awards were presented at the 2021 Georgia Cotton Commission Virtual Annual Meeting on Jan. 27. The awards are co-sponsored by the Georgia Cotton Commission and Bayer Crop Science/Deltapine and administered by the University of Georgia Cotton Team. Dr. Yangxuan Liu from the UGA Cotton Team conducted the analysis and presented the 2020 Georgia Quality Cotton awards at the annual meeting.
The purpose of the awards is to recognize producers and ginners of high-quality cotton fiber and to identify their general management practices for the benefit of other growers. The producers and their gins received a plaque, and the winning producers received a $500 cash award. The UGA County Extension Agent for each winner was also recognized as they work closely with the farmers during the growing season.
The awards are given in each of these three cotton acreage categories: 1) Less than 500 acres, 2) 500 to 1,000 acres, and 3) Greater than 1,000 acres within the four regions of the state. Winners in these categories are determined by the loan value and premiums of their cotton. The winners' excellent achievements are due largely to their management practices and ex-

pertise. The sponsors of this program congratulate the following winners:

AG Forecast: Agritourism gets a boost

Continued From Page 1

The spring survey's key findings showed farmers were most concerned with the financial impact from COVID-19 and worried about market loss and price declines. Kane said 82 percent of participating said they experienced a revenue loss due to COVID-19 and anticipated an annual loss of $49,000.
In the second survey conducted December through January, financial worries continued, with 91 percent of respondents saying COVID-19 significantly impacted at least one commodity. According to Kane, farmers estimated that only about 20 percent of their crop losses would be covered through federal and state relief programs.
Kane noted that as the pandemic wore on, health impacts became a greater concern, including emotional impacts driven by the respondents' financial concerns. Those without any emotional concerns were stable from spring to fall at around 19 percent, but those expressing "very concerned" jumped from 35.7 percent to 45.9 percent.
"Mental health is certainly one of the concerns when everything in your world is a little bit different," Kane said. "Those who were not concerned seemed pretty solid with about 20 percent, but there was a jump up for those very concerned about the emotional impacts on the operations."
Kane reported farmers felt better with their responsive measures to the pandemic as the year went along as they instituted social distancing and personal protection equipment into their operations. Those who had to close or reduce operations partially rose from 8.3 percent in the spring to 12.1 percent in the fall. Those who closed down completely hovered around 5.5 percent across both surveys.
"All of that leads to financial concerns which are pretty solid throughout the pandemic, but we are also seeing health and emotional impacts increasing as the pandemic goes on, so we're hoping that 2021 is looking better for this," Kane said.
Salazar, who serves as UGA's hospitality and foodservice management program coordinator, said agritourism is poised for significant growth in the next few years. He explained agritourism has steadily grown up until the pandemic. In 2018, the UGA Farm Gate Agritourism Value showed a

6.9 percent increase from 2015, from $65.7 million to $70.3 million.
Salazar noted that 55 percent of Georgia counties, or 87 counties total, are considered rural, and in 2019, visitors spent almost $3 billion in those counties. That broke down to $34 million in average direct spending per rural county.
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted tourism across the state, but Salazar said that rural areas were less affected than urban areas. Hotel occupancies in urban areas of the state dropped by 28.2 percent last year, but only 16.7 percent in rural areas.
Tourism surveys conducted last year by Salazar's office also showed an increased willingness of potential travelers to take trips from their home through the fall and continue through this year.
"Interestingly, the economy or transportation costs remain low in terms of their impact on future travel, but you can see that COVID is having less of an impact," he said. "It gives me a clue that individuals might now start understanding what it's like to travel during COVID. We also see that being couped up is kind of getting to the traveling population."
Salazar added that it is essential for those in agritourism to collaborate with local chambers of commerce, Hometown or Main Street programs. They are responsible for coordinating marketing tourism destinations that are funded through local hotel fees and tax collections.
The research also showed that people are planning to do more than one activity on a trip. Salazar said agritourism operators would need to understand this dynamic and that it brings even more importance in coordinating with local officials in the hospitality industry and local governments promoting tourism in their communities.
"What we are thinking in the broader hospitality and tourism world that there is a pent-up demand out there, and our survey sentiments are picking that up," Salazar said. He added that as travel uncertainty decreases, he anticipates more traveling as the weather warms up in the spring and summer.

UGA: Pandemic disruptions alter commodity outlook for 2021

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
Economists and experts at the University of Georgia's annual Ag Forecast meeting reported that 2020 was a terrible year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but offered mixed bag of recovery for Georgia's agricultural commodities in 2021.
Overall, the economic forecast is upbeat with hopes of a steady recovery as Georgia and the rest of the world move past the pandemic. Peanuts, vegetables and food processors are expected to do well this year, while a mixed year or slower recovery is expected for livestock, blueberries and cotton.
Jeffrey Humphries, director of the Selig Center for Economic Growth at the University of Georgia's Terry College of Business, reported that Georgia's recovery will continue and may outpace the country. He said Georgia is in a good position economically thanks to a strong housing market. Food processors, the state's largest manufacturing sector, entered the new year in good shape thanks to increased sales to grocers, he said.
As people are ready to move forward, consumer spending will be a factor, which will depend on COVID-19, Humphries said in his report.
"COVID-19 is the main recession risk. The availability of a vaccine would remove that risk," he said. "We assume that will happen in mid-2021. If correct, Georgia's economy will shift onto a steadier, above-average growth trajectory."
Peanuts and Cotton Peanut farmers, many of whom also
plant cotton, planted more peanuts as a cover for dropping cotton prices. According to Adam Rabinowitz, UGA peanut economist, that resulted in an increase of 125,000 more acres of peanuts planted, which was the third-highest number of acres in production since 1991.
"Demand for edible peanuts increased substantially as people sheltered at home during the Coronavirus pandemic and chose peanut products for an affordable, quality protein," Rabinowitz wrote.
Upward trends in peanut butter, peanuts in candy and snack peanuts are expected to continue through the first half of the year.
Cotton suffered greatly from the pandemic's effects as textile mills and shopping centers temporarily closed and caused demand to evaporate. U.S. cotton production for 2020 is projected at 17.1 million bales, about 14 percent below the 2019 crop, according to UGA Economist Yangxuan Liu.
Liu was optimistic for cotton in 2021 but noted it would be challenging for cotton producers.
"The long-term damage to cotton consumption by the pandemic may take a while to resolve, and producers need to adjust their production practices to improve productivity or cut costs," Liu said in her report.

Livestock Livestock producers were struck hard
by the disruptions in processing and supply chains last year. The timing was bad because the beef industry had entered the liquidation phase of the current cattle cycle, according to Tommie Shephard, public service associate with the UGA Center for Agribusiness and Economic Development.
Shephard explained the beef industry traditionally goes through production cycles that follow market demand over a span of 10 years. Cow numbers increase, followed by a liquidation phase where producers send more cows to slaughter, and fewer heifers are held back for breeding.
Shephard said the extended supply-chain disruptions caused beef prices to spike in the summer, but prices returned to normal by the end of the year as processors were able to work off the backlog with extra weekend shifts.
However, Shephard said the damage was done. Beef production will continue to increase, and prices will drop while fewer cows will be in production in the coming years.
Shephard said producers would continue to see the pandemic's lingering effects this year, with a more noticeable recovery in 2022.
Fruit and Vegetables Vegetable producers entered 2020 with
an increase in prices continuing from the previous year before the pandemic caused a dramatic decline. Esendugue Greg Fonsah, UGA Extension Service economist for fruit, vegetables and pecans, noted in his report that vegetable prices recovered in the fall and should continue strong this year.
Fonsah noted that most of the top 10 vegetables in Georgia experienced increased prices in 2019 and trended that way in the first quarter of 2020. He added that research showing that Americans are eating more vegetables than in previous years is also encouraging.
Seasonal fruit and vegetable growers are starting 2021 seeking federal help in protecting their crops from imports. Blueberry growers in Georgia have called for protections through a federal trade safeguard investigation known as a Section 201 investigation arguing that Mexican imports have significantly harmed them.
Fonsah said that argument has weight. U.S. domestic price for a flat of blueberries was $12 in May 2019, compared to $19 per flat at the same time in 2010. Although U.S. blueberry consumption increased prices dropped, which many people blame on Mexico timing their blueberry exports to arrive at the same time Georgia growers are marketing their berries.
"If Mexico's current blueberry production and export trends persist, then sluggish prices, finger-pointing and requests for Section 201 global safeguards will persist," Fonsah concluded in his report.

Central State: Redevelopment authority is hopeful other agribusinesses will follow FSP

be a big benefit for the farmers in Georgia," said Baldwin County Commissioner Sammy Hall.
Last summer, FoodService Partners celebrated the completion of renovations to the Parham Kitchen. The company plans to ramp up operations from 30 employees currently to upwards of 60 this summer, augmenting a food production and distribution network that stretches from Union City, Calif., to Amarillo, Texas, to New York City to Roanoke, Va. and now Georgia.
FSP built its business on food service to hospitals, but also produces food for commercial retailers using custom recipes (co-packing) and formulas developed in FSP's kitchens (white or private label foods). Georgia producers will be an integral part of that process, said Justin Bizzarro, executive director of business development and client relations.
"We handle production, logistics and distribution it goes in our trucks to stay in our cold chain from farm to the fork or farm to the client and then to their consumer's fork," Bizzarro said.
Growing Entrepreneurs While the other FSP kitchens around the
country were built to serve hospitals or other health-care facilities, the Georgia location will cater to commercial customers and use its excess capacity to develop its own online grocery service (primalrockgroceryhouse. com). The company is also working with value-added producers in Georgia to sell existing products and help them develop more robust product lines. Georgia Grown members they're working with include H.L. Franklin Honey of Statesboro, Doux South Pickles of Atlanta, Pride Road LLC of Lithonia, White Oak Pastures of Bluffton and Hunter Cattle Co. of Brooklet.
Deborah Michas, also executive director of business development and client relations, said the company is forging relationships with cattle producers to develop its own supply chain of grass-finished beef for clients and for its own purposes.
Bizzarro said the company's goal is to use as much of the raw materials it procures as

possible. With the ability to Instant Quick Freeze (IQF) unused product, FSP can assist clients in developing new products.
"We don't want to get rid of extra meat and fruit and vegetables we can't use for our clients, so this gave us the ability to create something and not have to waste," Justin said.
Whether it's developing a new recipe with an entrepreneur looking to expand or packaging excess meat or broccoli into individual frozen meals people can order and consume, "it's just as good and fresh as from the farm and we're not throwing it away. We're being good stewards," Bizzarro said.
Reuse and Recycle That's the same philosophy that drives
redevelopment of the Central State Hospital site, said Mike Couch, executive director of the redevelopment authority. A native

of Milledgeville who retired from the U.S. Army in 1993, Couch found a second career repurposing military bases decommissioned by the U.S. Department of Defense through the Base Realignment and Closure process.
"I cut my teeth in real estate and understood the power of being able to leverage real estate for economic development with BRAC," Couch said.
His first project was repurposing Fort Benjamin Harrison, a U.S. Army post in Indianapolis, Ind.
"What started as a vision in 1997 at Fort Ben Harrison is just being finished today but there's about a billion dollars' worth of new construction and 14,000 new jobs," he said. "Central State Hospital will evolve over the next 15 years, but we've got a good start on it with 45 public and private partners up there, so I'm very pleased."
Couch returned home in 2010 at the request of a friend seeking help with the Central State site. Like most families in Baldwin County, Couch has long ties to the hospital. Three generations of his family worked there. His mother served as director of nursing at one time.
"Probably 70 to 80 percent of all (local) families have a tie back to the hospital campus, so I was honored when I got a chance to look at the property," he said.
The community was reeling not only from the downsizing of the hospital but also the loss of two major manufacturers. Unemployment was in the double digits.
"It was like getting hit with two bricks at one time," he said. But he drafted legislation creating the redevelopment authority, received the support of the Legislature and Governor, and began entertaining suitors with the singular goal of job creation.
He's hopeful that FSP's presence will attract other agribusinesses to the site. With some 200 buildings in his inventory, there's plenty of room to grow. The most challenging piece, however, will be the historic heart of the campus, the pecan orchard which resembles a college campus quad and the historic buildings that surround it. Most notable among them is the Powell Building. The central structure of the building was

standing when Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman's troops camped on the grounds of the hospital on their march from Atlanta to the sea.
Couch is in talks with a prospect from Boston to repurpose the pecan orchard area for senior residential housing using a combination of new construction behind the historic facades of the buildings standing there now. Long abandoned, those buildings are beyond repair, he said.

Robotic: Using food as a reward, automation allows dairy cows to set milking schedules

dairies. The company has a significant presence in the Midwest and is looking to expand its Southeast market. Rodgers noted that Clemson University and a dairy in Edenfield, S.C., are the other two dairy operations in the South using DeLaval's VMS, short for volunteer milking system.
As the name suggests, the cows decide when to be milked. The robots look like stalls located on the outer edge of a parlor shed. Cows are taught to enter the stall by receiving feed dropped into a bin at the stall's front. As the cow enjoys the feed, robotic arms activate and are guided by a camera to the cow's udders. One arm washes the teats, and another arm places cups on each teat to begin milking. Rodgers said learning how the VMS works was more straightforward than teaching his cows to go to the milking stalls. "It's kind of like teaching your dog to lay down, sit up and do all these things except you're doing this with a bovine, which is extremely more challenging," he said. The cows wear collars with electronic pods that the robot uses to identify each cow. As the system learns about each cow, it sets permissions to allow cows to enter for milking. The robot will not allow a cow to re-enter a stall if they were just milked. Rodgers said the cows like the feed, and some like it too much. "If she turns around and goes right back in because she's a chow hound, you know, just going back for more pellets, it will refuse to milk her," he said. The VMS adds precision to the milking process by monitoring milk quality. The robot's sensors can check for inconsistencies and notify operators if something doesn't look

right. The robots can separate bad milk from the system and discharge it. The good milk goes directly to chilling tanks and is then pumped into tanker trucks to be transported to a dairy processor.
It is that efficiency that appeals to Martin. "We still struggle producing enough milk, especially in the latter part of the year, to build the demand down here," he said. "So, for us moving out of our conventional setup into a more comfort-oriented facility will help us balance the milk that we produce in the spring versus the fall." Amanda Bellamy-Phinazee, a dairy field supervisor with the Georgia Department of Agriculture's Food Safety Division, said increased production and lower labor costs could be a big incentive for more dairies to install robotics in the future. "I definitely think it's a safe way to produce milk," Bellamy-Phinazee said. "I don't know if it's any safer than what conventional farms do. Only time will tell in Georgia." From a regulatory standpoint, the robotic system eliminates the need for paper reports. Data inspectors look for when they visit the dairy can be obtained with the press of a button. In addition to greater efficiencies, the robotic system offers more consistency, removing the potential for human error, she said. But it also removes the constant human oversight that catches problems early. Rodgers explained the data collected on each cow can alert workers if a cow isn't behaving as expected, like a GPS collar showing a cow not coming in to be milked. Testing for abnormalities in the milk can also alert workers to check on a cow.
