Praying for a good season
By Amy Carter

BRUNSWICK You won't find many atheists aboard tractors or trawlers.
Faith is as integral to making a successful or even passable living at farming and fishing as sufficient water, good soil, warm sunshine, strong seeds, reliable hands, efficient machines, fair winds and following seas.
For the better part of a century, shrimpers in Brunswick have started their season with an appeal to God for bounty and safe passage. The 83rd annual Blessing of the Fleet, scheduled for May 8 on the East River, will continue a tradition begun by Portuguese immigrants who settled on Georgia's coast in the early 20th century.
Before they arrived, locals had little regard for shrimp.
"My Daddy was born in 1912 and he used to catch them with set nets and figured they were just some kind of bug," said Stewart Sadler of Brunswick, a lifelong shrimper.
Most locals used them for bait, said Matthew Hill, director of the Brunswick Downtown Development Authority, which oversees planning for the Blessing of the Fleet and its associated festival.
"When the Portuguese came to Brunswick, their culture was that the sea provides a lot, so I think the shrimp were kind of overlooked until they came because they were familiar with prawns and things from Europe," Hill said.
Prawns are similar to shrimp but live in fresh or brackish water. Shrimp live in salt-

A late freeze, heavy rain and hail bring damage to spring crops
Weather may have delayed plantings for fall

10 0 t1h9A17nniv2e0r1s7ary April has lived up to its reputation as the cru-
elest month for Georgia farmers, delivering a late freeze over Easter weekend that damaged berries, vegetables, and previously emerged corn in the northern and middle parts of the state. A significant rain event April 24 dropped 8-10 inches of

rain and hail as big as golf balls throughout South

Georgia, leading to further damage there. Grow-

ers are working to salvage as much as they can.

Among the crops impacted were:

Blueberries Fruit was knocked from bushes

and bruised. Some fields sustained losses of up

to 26 percent.

Vegetables South Lowndes and Echols

counties suffered major hail damage. Peppers,

squash and eggplant were affected to varying

degrees, from minor foliage damage to plants

stripped of their leaves.

Tobacco Heavy rain and washing caused the

most damage to growers. Some replanting will

be necessary.

Sweet corn, cotton, peanuts High rainfall

totals in Southwest Georgia may slow sweet

corn growth. Field work was delayed and some

fields with cotton or peanuts may have to be Fields of squash and eggplant were beat down by several inches of rain and hail as big as golf balls

In the Field: Blueberries

By Jonathan E. Oliver Fruit Pathologist and Extension Specialist University of Georgia Tifton Campus TIFTON Blueberries are ripening across southern Georgia, and in the coming weeks the harvest of Georgia blueberries is expected to begin. Southern highbush blueberry varieties will ripen and be harvested first, followed by the later maturing rabbit eye blueberry varieties. All told, this year's blueberry harvest season is anticipated to extend from late April through June across the southern blueber-

ry belt within the state. Year in and year out, Georgia is one of the nation's top producers
of fresh blueberries. Our acidic soils and abundant moisture provide excellent building blocks for the production of delicious Georgia blueberries. In addition, our warmer climate, relative to other major blueberry producing states like Oregon, Washington, Michigan, and New Jersey, allows our berries to mature earlier and reach the market prior to berries harvested in northern climes.
The story of this year's crop really began last year, as the buds on blueberry plants that give rise to leaves and blooms form during the summer and fall of the prior growing season. These buds remain dormant during the winter, waiting until the time is right to grow again. Our blueberry plants began to leaf out and bloom in early February this year, and growers have spent the last few months ensuring that the crop is adequately irrigated, fertilized, and protected from diseases and pests.
During bloom and berry formation, blueberries are especially vulnerable to extreme weather events (such as freezes or frosts) as well as to disease and pest infestations. Once bloom is over and the green berries are present, freezes can be particularly damaging to the crop. The recent early-April cold spell is likely to have affected this year's blueberry crop to some extent, depending on the temperature reached, variety grown, and deployment of freeze protection methods (like overhead irrigation) in a given location. Ultimately, time will tell how this year's weather impacted Georgia blueberry production. Nonetheless, as the anticipated harvest season approaches, blueberry growers remain hopeful to bring in an excellent crop of delicious Georgia blueberries in 2021.

Georgie's Drive
Thru Knoxville
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our No. 1 industry, agriculture! Knoxville is a place few people out-

side Crawford County know. Though it is still Crawford County's seat, the town was unincorporated in 1995. Even so, it has an important place in Georgia history. Our most famous inventor, John Pemberton, was born in Knoxville in 1831. His family moved to Rome when he was a child. After graduating from medical school in Macon, he opened a pharmacy in Columbus. During the Battle of Columbus in the final month of the Civil War, he was wounded by a federal sword. The wound aggravated him for years, causing him to become dependent on the painkiller morphine. Seeking an alternative to morphine that would still treat his pain, Pemberton accidentally landed upon the formula for Coca-Cola. Shortly before his death in 1888, he sold that formula to an Atlanta pharmacist named Asa Candler for $1,750, the equivalent of about $50,000 in today's money. I don't think the formula for New Coke would've brought that much!

John Stith Pemberton invented Coca-Cola while searching for a morphine-free painkilling concoction. (Lee Lancaster/GDA)

GDA assists Delta Air Lines with emergency regulatory approval of new COVID-fighting surface coating

By Amy Carter
amy.carter@agr.georgia.gov
The Georgia Department of Agriculture requested and received a federal public health emergency exemption on behalf of Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines for use of a new adhesive film with antimicrobial properties that kills COVID-19 on nonporous surfaces such as gate counters, seat backs, overhead storage bins, and touch screens.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approved the exemption for the unregistered pesticide product BiaXam on April 21. The exemption covers Delta planes and facilities operating in Georgia, Utah, and Minnesota.
BiaXam is a solid but transparent material that can be applied as a coating or a peel-and-stick film on a range of hard, non-porous surfaces like railings, armrests, seatbelt buckles, window shades, printers, elevator buttons and desks. According to the EPA, laboratory testing data submitted by the company indicates that BiaXam kills 99.999 percent of SARS-CoV-2 particles. Based on differences in cleaning and disinfection frequency and protocols used in airport ter-

minals vs. airplanes, it remains effective for up to 100 days on airport surfaces and up to 200 days on airplane surfaces.
The GDA's Ag Inputs Division which regulates pesticide licensing and use in Georgia has been working with EPA since December 2020 to review the effectiveness and safety of the product prior to submitting a request for the emergency exemption.
Ag Inputs Division Director Jennifer Wren made the request under Section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, which authorizes EPA to allow unregistered uses of pesticides to address emergency conditions.
Wren said the exemption permits Delta Air Lines to make limited use of the pesticide in defined geographic areas for a finite period.
"In a nutshell, if approved, a Section 18 exempts a pesticide product from having to go through the standard Section 3 registration process, which can sometimes take years. There is still a thorough review process, but it is expedited due to concerns related to the `emergency condition,' in this case, the pandemic," Wren said. "And the exemption from the usual process is temporary. Exemptions for public health

emergencies are limited to just a year. After that time, they must show progress towards (full) registration."
Wren said the GDA is required to monitor use of the product throughout its one-year registration period, and then provide a detailed report to EPA after the registration expires.
"We believe that BiaXam is unique due to both its efficacy, durable and residual properties that distinguish it from other technologies that require a more frequent application or treatment. We are not aware of other available technologies that provide the long-lasting, durable protection that BiaXam can offer. Moreover, while other antimicrobial products are based upon a chemical as the active ingredient, BiaXam is a polymer, and the antimicrobial properties are an inherent feature of the polymer design," said Kevin M. Fogarty, president, and chief executive officer of BiaXam's maker, Kraton Corp., in a prepared release.
"This new technology offers an exciting new layer of protection that will help us maintain and enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of our protocols and build customer confidence both during the pandemic and beyond," said Mike Medeiros, vice president of Global Cleanliness at Delta.

Georgia Department of Agriculture bids farewell to Jack Spruill

He led the successful effort to revive the Georgia Grown brand

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
Jack Spruill, retired Marketing Division director at the Georgia Department of Agriculture, was recognized last month for his 10 years of service that saw a revitalization of the Georgia Grown program and improvements to operations of the nine state-operated farmers markets.
Spruill had difficulty accepting the accolades during a dinner held at Gin Creek Plantation near his home in Colquitt County on April 20. The dinner included his wife Ada and most of his three adult children and 11 grandchildren, but Spruill wanted to talk about his other family, the people he worked with at the department.
"I've just always decided to say, `I'll lead by example, we'll work hard together, we'll share each other's troubles and miseries, we'll share each other's joys,'" Spruill said. "That's what a family is all about, so I always considered it very much a work family."
Agriculture has always been a part of Spruill's life. A native Georgian, he grew up on a farm and was active in the Future Farmers of America in high school. He graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in Animal Science.
Spruill worked in production agriculture after college at his farm in Jackson County for 16 years. "We were in the dairy business and the hog business and grew soybeans and wheat," he said.
Before joining the department to head the marketing division in 2011, Spruill worked as a regional manager for DeLaval Inc., a manufacturer of dairy farm equipment. Before then, he worked in sales for Birchmore Dairy Supply.
Spruill needed all his business experience upon his arrival at the GDA when Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black gave him the task of restarting the Georgia Grown marketing program. Spruill said it was one of his proudest accomplishments.

Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary W. Black presents Jack Spruill
with a proclamation naming Spruill a Distinguished Agricultural
Steward of Georgia during a dinner last month. (Erin White/GDA)
"Well, it was quote-unquote under my reign, but not because of me as an individual. It was because of the team," Spruill said. "I'm real proud of the relaunch of the Georgia Grown program, which had become so stagnant and almost nonexistent. Georgia Grown almost was an afterthought to the department of ag when the commissioner and I got there, and that turned into being a challenge that we had to try to get done."
Today, Georgia Grown is a nationally renowned state program with more than 1,000 paying members. The program is a marketing and advertising program that assists farmers and small businesses in selling their products.
Spruill also shepherded the startup of the Georgia Agriculture Tax Exemption, or GATE program, which offers qualified agriculture producers a sales tax exemption on agricultur-

al equipment and production inputs. He added that he was glad to help turn around the finances
of the state farmers markets, too, which had been losing money at the time. Again, Spruill applauded the work of others in making it happen. "All of them still aren't in the black, but by gum, a whole lot of them are now that weren't."
Black spoke at the dinner and thanked Spruill for his work at the department. He presented Spruill with a proclamation naming Spruill a "Distinguished Agricultural Steward of Georgia." Black also talked about all the ideas he had when first elected Agriculture Commissioner in 2008. He highlighted Spruill's leadership in accomplishing some of those ideas.
"You write stuff down and say, `what if,' but you've got to go beyond the what if and actually get on the field of play to get it done, putting a team together and to score to where it goes from concept to delivery," Black said. "And that was what Jack did. You couldn't have a better quarterback, a better all-star, than Jack Spruill."
Spruill explained that in work, as in life, not everything is a success. He said that it was easy to feel bad at not accomplishing a goal, but there is always a lesson in failure.
"We did some things that were not successful but rather than go wallow in the pity of, `My goodness that didn't work,' we were hard on ourselves in evaluating what we did wrong so we could do better or different next time," he said. "We didn't want to make the same mistake twice."
The Spruills have three children: Robert, a physician in Moultrie; Carol, who operates a horse stable on the family's former dairy farm in Hoschton; and Abby, who is a former ag teacher in Blairsville.
Known as a tinkerer of farm equipment, Spruill said he plans to farm some, work on old tractors and spend time with his family. During the dinner, Spruill was gifted a tumbler that summed up his philosophy: The view is always better from the top of a tractor.
