Protecting poultry

Propane industry offers fire as an alternative for sanitizing chicken houses

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
Chicken farmers have numerous tools to protect flocks inside their broiler houses from dangerous pathogens, such as the virus that causes Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza. Chemicals and disinfectants are the most common, but the propane industry is offering another tool: fire.
The Propane Education and Research Council said in a recent press release that propane-powered poultry house fire sanitizers could effectively produce enough heat when appliedto floor litter to kill organisms that could be harmful to the birds.
Pulled by a tractor, the implement shoots flames from torches under a steel hood that can generate 1,400 degrees F. According to the manufacturer, Flame Engineering Inc., the flame sanitizer kills pathogens and burns off ammonia vapors.
Dan Richardson of Conger Gas in Tifton said many poultry producers in Georgia already use propane or natural gas for heating their houses, which is especially important when the chicks first arrive. As the chickens mature, climate

control inside the house with heating and ventilation remains an integral part of the process.
Richardson argued applying high heat from the flame sanitizer to the litter materials of poultry houses between flocks can be more efficient than broadcasting chemicals. Richardson also said that organisms could become resistant to some applications, and the producer may need to change chemicals.
"Whenever you're applying heat, and if it's applied properly, there's not a lot of ways (microbes) can adjust to that," Richardson said.
The litter -- which consists of bedding material, feathers, wasted feed, and poultry manure -- provides a habitat for chickens, insulates the floor from cold, absorbs moisture from waste, and gives birds a chance to clean their feathers by dusting, so keeping the litter sanitized is important. The industry-wide method to sanitize is in-house litter pasteurization between flocks followed by chemical application as needed.
Litter pasteurization is done after a flock is harvested and producers remove the hardened top layer,a process called decaking. The remaining litter is then piled into rows, typically

Hail to the queen
Revived beekeeping program at Jimmy Carter Boyhood Farm highlights pollinators

ARCHERY Some advice, if we may: The sting of a Presidential honey bee is just as potent as that of her civilian cousins, so if you plan to visit the Jimmy Carter Boyhood Farm to see what early life was like for the 76th

Governor of Georgia and the 39th President of the United States give the bee boxes wide berth. But don't bypass them altogether.
Take a few moments to marvel (from afar) at their organization, their industry, their sheer numbers. Anywhere from 40,000 to 60,000 honey bees make up one hive, and there are now eight boxes containing single or double colonies beneath the canopy of pecan trees Carter helped plant as a child growing up on his family's homestead outside Plains.
Carter's father, Earl, moved his family to the farm in 1928. They grew cotton, peanuts, sugar cane and corn to sell, and kept more than 20 beehives that produced honey for their own table and for sale in the farm store that served workers on the farm and people in the surrounding community, according to the National Park Service.
The bees are part of an ongoing effort to show visitors the closest possible approximation of rural life during Carter's childhood after indoor plumbing but before electricity. Former President Carter left the farm after graduating from Plains High School in 1941, and his father sold the place in 1949. The National Park Service purchased 17 acres of the original 360-acre farm in 1994 including the family's farmhouse and farm store and added it to a complex of historic sites in Sumter and Webster counties associated with Carter's early life and political career.
Brett Morgan, a park ranger with the Jimmy Carter National Historical Park, manages the Jimmy Carter Boyhood Farm, where

President Carter was raised. Not long after taking the post, he discovered two bee boxes that had been overtaken by hive beetles. Morgan wanted to save the colonies, so he called on Dale Richter, a master beekeeper in Southwest Georgia, for assistance reestablishing honey bees on the property.
"I said, `Hey, we got bees and I don't know what to do but I do know that the Carter Family would have had bees and used honey so what do we do?'" Morgan said.
Since then, Morgan has learned to deal with everything from hive beetles to honey bee swarms, often in phone consultations with Richter, a beekeeper for some 60 years who studied at his grandfather's knee. That's a lot of bee cred, but even he'll admit there's more to learn. Richter explained that bees swarm for many reasons, such as overcrowding or the presence of a second queen.
Whatever the reason for departure, scout bees fly ahead of the swarm to find a new home for the breakaway colony, Richter said. It could be a nearby building, a hollow tree trunk next to the established hive, or some other place five miles away.
"They're called scout bees,
See BEEKEEPING, page 16

Jill Stuckey, superintendent of the Jimmy Carter National Historical Park, looks on as park ranger Brett Morgan tests his smoker prior to opening a hive. The smoke masks bees' alarm pheromones, saving the beekeeper from getting stung. (Amy Carter/GDA)

Larry For The Country: A life, part one

By Larry Walker
lwalker@whgmlaw.com
It started for me on March 9, 1942, as I was delivered at the Macon Hospital (no longer in existence, as such) and where I spent my first 10 to 14 days (Mother told me she "stayed in the hospital in Macon for 10 days or two weeks and was brought home to Perry by ambulance"). I hope that it was not me that caused the "problem," but I could have been. She also told me that "the peach trees were in full bloom and were beautiful." So, all but about 10 to 14 days, I have lived in Perry, and have never wanted to live anywhere else. I was born into a wonderful situation. A father, "Daddy," loaded with common sense and who was one of the finest people I have ever known. A mother, "Mama," who was smart, kind, gentle, a great cook, and equally fine. Daddy and Mama, a great team who wanted the best for my siblings and me. There was David, four years younger, and then twins, Charles and Lynda, nine years younger. The three of them have all stayed in Perry to live and are all great people. I could not have had better brothers, and my sister, mother of seven children, is a wonderful and special person. Then, there were my four grandparents, Charles P. Gray and Hazel Nichols Gray, who lived three houses up Swift Street in Perry from where we lived. Charles P. Gray

"Grandbuddy" to me (they say I named him) was originally from Danville, Va., and then he moved to Danville, Ind., where he met and married my grandmother. On the day they married, they boarded a train to Los Angeles where Grandbuddy worked in Hollywood as a cameraman for Universal Studios. Grandbuddy and Grannie later went to Tombstone, Ariz., where they homesteaded. Grandbuddy told me that while they were living in Arizona, Pancho Villa and his army were riding across into Arizona and he and Grannie could hear them shooting. It all sounded mighty exciting to me.
Fortunately for me, Grandbuddy and Grannie moved to Perry (probably in the 1920s) and were living three houses up from us on Swift Street when I was born. I ate many meals with them and loved all the considerable time I spent with them.
Grandbuddy, a staunch Republican in the Democratic South, became the Chevrolet dealer in Perry. He was on Perry's City Council and later served as its Mayor (despite being a Republican!). He lost a bet on the Hoover-Roosevelt presidential race resulting in his having to roll a peanut down Perry's main street, Carroll, with his nose! That's probably why the voters elected him Mayor!
Then there were my Walker grandparents, David Freeman Walker and Josephine May Walker, both from Washington County, who lived there between the confluence of the Centralia Rachels and Sparta Davisboro dirt roads for all of their married lives.
Papa farmed with mules. I remember Molly, Dixie, and Kate. There was a fourth mule whose name I cannot remem-

ber. I spent much time with Grandma and Papa in Washington County and loved both of them very much. I also loved the mules. Once Papa let me plant a row of peas with a mule pulling the planter. It was probably the most crooked row of peas ever planted, but they still tasted good when gathered and eaten!
Grandma, the kindest person I ever knew, and Papa, small, quiet, unassuming, and a hard worker, were exceedingly good to me. I thought both of them were simply wonderful in their small world of church, Saturday trips to Sandersville or Sparta, reading or listening to the Bible being read at night, hog killings, syrup makings, praying for rain and attending and supporting Pine Hill Methodist Church. They loved me, and showed it, and I loved them. I hope I showed it.
Not only did I love Grandma and Papa, and Grandbuddy and Grannie, but I loved Papa's hard-working mules, and the Brown family Ruth, Solomon, and Amos who lived on Papa and Grandma's farm. And I have loved so many of the older people in Perry and Houston County who have now gone on, Black and white, and people I knew from being in politics, my law practice, and my church, Perry United Methodist, and our large family with my having three siblings, four children, nine grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren, with one more on the way.
All of this and I haven't even mentioned my wife, Janice. That will be in my next column. But in the meantime, listen to the song Wind Beneath My Wings and you will understand how I feel about Janice. That, and other things, will come next month in part two.

Mercer Medical Moment: A quick check-up for your mental health

By Matthew Beblowski, Second year MD student
Mercer University School of Medicine
May is Mental Health Month and a great time to check in with our loved ones and ourselves.
The last two years have been difficult for our communities, our country and the world. The COVID-19 pandemic introduced new sources of stress, fear, loneliness, and sadness, and many families were personally impacted.
During these trying times, it is important to take care of our loved ones. In order to take care of others, however, we must first take care of ourselves. This Mental Health Month, take the time to check in with yourself to see how you're feeling by answering these simple questions: 1. Have you had changes in your sleep habits?

2. Are you having difficulty concentrating? 3. Have you experienced a change in weight? 4. Do you feel down all the time? 5. Have you lost interest in your hobbies? 6. Do your thoughts or movements feel sluggish? 7. Do you experience physical aches and pains? 8. Have you consistently felt hopeless or guilty? 9. Have you thought about suicide? 10. Have you experienced sexual dysfunction?
If you answered yes to five or more of the above questions and have been facing feelings of depression, you may be experiencing a depressive episode.
Depression is more than just feeling down all the time or going through a "rough patch." It can affect every part of your life and have devastating effects on your work and family life. Depression is a serious mental health condition that can affect any individual, male or female, young or old.
Things to know about depression: Depression is one of the most common mental health
disorders in the United States. An estimated 21 million

adults (8.4 percent) in the United States are affected. In adults 18-25 years old, 17 percent experience at least one episode of depression. While depression can occur as a singular episode, most people experience repeat depressive episodes. These episodes can last from months to years. Depression is treatable. With early detection, diagnosis, and treatment, many people experience improvements in their mood. If you believe that you or a loved one is experiencing depression or any other mental condition, it is important to reach out to your primary care physician to discuss treatment options. You can also contact the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration National Helpline. It is a free, confidential information service for individuals and families facing mental health problems and it is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Call the helpline at 1-800662-HELP (4357) to find treatment options near you or visit samhsa.gov to learn more.

Georgie's Drive Thru Broad River
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our No. 1 industry, agriculture! The other day, I crossed the Broad River into Elbert

County, the Granite Capital of Georgia. We headed east to see Nancy Hart's cabin. The replica was built in 1932 on her original home site. During the Revolutionary War, Nancy was home with only her thirteen-year-old daughter when a group of British soldiers arrived unannounced. The group had killed her neighbor, Colonel John Dooley, earlier that day, so she knew she and her daughter were in grave danger. According to popular folklore, she began to cook the last turkey her family had and hid her anger as she "entertained" her uninvited guests. While the five Tories sat and drank, she slid each of their weapons to her daughter through a hole in the wall and almost removed all the guns when one of the soldiers got wise to her. When they all jumped up from their chairs to rush her, she killed three of them and held the other two at gunpoint until her husband and all her neighbors arrived. Hart County and Hartwell are named in her honor, as well as Wahachee (or Wahatche) Creek, meaning "War Woman," according to the marker erected nearby by the Georgia Historical Commission.

The Civilian Conservation Corps rebuilt Nancy Hart's cabin in the 1930s, using stones from the chimney of the original structure. (Lee Lancaster/GDA)

Market Watch: Friendly competition means success for vendors, consumers in Augusta

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
Tucked away under a shed at the Augusta State Farmers Market are two men who share more than 80 years' experience selling produce. Terry Judge and Leroy Tibbs operate separate businesses but often help each other out for the benefit of their customers.
"Oh, yeah, I help him out whenever, and he helps me out," Tibbs said. "There're times when he needs some extra tomatoes, and I'm able to give him some, or I'll run out of okra, and he keeps me going. We're both just trying to make a living."
As competitors, they have a lot in common. Both men grew up on farms. Their fathers were farmers, and they stayed in the business. Both also grow most of the produce they sell at the farmers market.
Tibbs has a small farm in Edenfield County, S.C. Judge's farm is located in Keysville in Burke County. They grow tomatoes, squash, okra, peas, greens, peppers, onions and more.
Though consumers can find produce more conveniently at a grocery store, the selling point for Judge and Tibbs is that most of their fruits and vegetables are fresh and grown nearby.
Judge called it "truck farming," which he explained is growing enough for a pickup truck and buying from other farmers as

needed. The men open their stands when they're
ready, and Judge was first this year, setting up shop the first weekend in May.
Judge had a small selection from an early harvest of cabbage and tomatoes. He supplemented his offerings with watermelons, which he got from Florida, and peaches. He hoped people would be craving watermelons and peaches before they were in season here.
The strategy paid off as Amy and Joe Kim pulled up. They were visiting their son, who was competing in USA Cycling Collegiate Road National Championships held in Augusta from May 6-8. The Kims traveled from Bethesda, Md.
"We came here to see our son, and I told my husband I had to get some fresh fruit," Amy Kim said. "We Googled produce markets, and this was one of two that came up. We are glad they are here."
Next door, Tibbs said he had some work to do before opening. He had a stack of empty produce baskets strewn around the dock that were left over from last year. He wielded a leaf blower to clear off the winter's dust and dirt from his area.
"I really need to do some work to clean up this place and make it look like something," Tibbs said.
It was a slow start for the men but that's expected. The State Farmers Market is off

the beaten path in an industrial area south of downtown. Still, Judge and Tibbs said they do well through the growing season. Tibbs said they serve many big families looking for deals on produce. They also offer flexibility that grocery stores cannot. He noted that okra is not typically sold in large quantities in stores, but he and Judge will sell you as much okra as you need at their stands.
Both men know what it takes to grow a large family, another of the many things they have in common.
Tibbs has nine children, and all of them helped him along the way. All grown up, Tibbs' children continue to help him. At 79, Tibbs is in good shape, but when asked if his children worry about him continuing to work, he laughed and said they couldn't stop him. One reason is that he is not ready to retire yet,

and the second reason is that he still enjoys the work.
"They tell people to let him do what he's doing because that's all he knows," Tibbs said.
Judge has had all five of his children help him at the market and some of his grandchildren. He said his children "grew up at the market" and believed the experience helped them understand work and family responsibilities.
"I had two daughters, one 8 years old and the other 10 years old, and at one time I could leave and let them run things," Judge said. "That impressed customers; those kids ran the stand, and they did a good job."
Judge, who is also in his 70s, said he is not ready to retire either.
"I just love watching things grow," he said.

Terry Judge, left, and Leroy Tibbs have operated their produce stands next to each other for over 40 years under the Augusta State Farmers Markets sheds. Each man grows most of their produce and purchases other items as needed. (Jay Jones/GDA)

Judge Produce and Tibbs Produce are open weekends starting in May and running through the fall at the Augusta State Farmers Market, located at 1150 Fifth St, Augusta, Ga. 30901. Call the market at 706.721.3004 for more information.
All nine state farmers markets are open to the public, with five of the nine markets Atlanta, Augusta, Macon, Savannah, and Thomasville offering fresh produce year-round. Four markets Cairo, Cordele, Moultrie, and Valdosta focus on seasonal produce. Call the office at each market to check the availability of produce.

Poultry: A combination of methods works best to protect commercial flocks from disease

Continued From Page 1

3-5 feet high and running the length of the house. Microbes in the litter piles will generate heat up to 130 degrees F, which is high enough to kill pathogens.
Brian Fairchild, a University of Georgia poultry science professor, explained sanitizing products available to producers work toward reducing bacteria growth and lowering ammonia, a gas released that can hinder young birds in their growth development.
The chemicals used to sanitize the litter don't kill microbes as a disinfectant would. Instead, the treatment adjusts the alkalinity of the litter to make it good for chickens and bad for microbes.
"Most have some sort of acidifying properties to them that work towards dropping that litter pH, which makes it less hospitable for microbe organisms to flourish," Fairchild said. "And some of them will have the ability to bind up the ammonium, so it doesn't get

converted into ammonia by bacteria." Fairchild added that a combination of
products and methods that work best for the producer is the best approach to getting the results they need. The goal is always to maintain a healthy environment for birds to thrive.
"Anything that we can do to reduce that bacterial load in the environment, the litter, is going to be helpful keeping them from contracting or picking up harmful bacteria," Fairchild said.
Disinfectants in the poultry industry are used mainly on hard, non-porous surfaces and are applied as sprays, aerosols or fumigants. According to Jennifer Wren, director of the Ag Inputs Division of the Georgia Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency lists about 200 products registered for use against Avian Influenza A, the virus responsible for the HPAI.

Several state and federal agencies offer online information about the current outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza in the United States.
For information or to report concerns about avian influenza in birds, call the Georgia Avian Influenza hotline at 770.766.6850 or visit https:// www.gapoultrylab.org/avian-influenza-hotline/. For updates and more information, visit agr.georgia.gov/avian-influenza.aspx.
Also, the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service provides national HPAI updates and alerts at https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ newsroom/news/all-program-updates-bycat?filters=News/HPAI.

HPAI remains a concern for the poultry industry, with the latest USDA reports showing the disease confirmed in 34 states among commercial and backyard flocks since February. Georgia, a leading poultry and egg-producing state, has had no confirmed domestic flock cases. State officials credit that success to preventative biosecurity efforts producers have been following, such as keeping their flocks indoors, keeping a close eye out for signs of sickness among the birds, and restricting access to the flocks.
Wren said that pathogen resistance to chemicals is a common concern in the medical and agricultural sectors. She explained resistance develops when the same chemicals or family of chemicals applied by the same mode of action are used repeatedly.
Producers can prevent pathogen resistance using Integrated Pest Management methods in protecting their flock. "IPM systems usually incorporate multiple pest management strategies, e.g., physical and chemical controls, rather than relying on one tool," Wren said in an email.
"I believe that pesticides are irreplaceable and necessary tools in our toolkits, but they must be used judiciously and in accordance with label directions if we want them to remain that way," Wren said. "In the ag world, many pesticide labels now include a resistance management section with recommendations to prevent widespread resistance."
Wren said that resistance doesn't occur

using physical methods, like heat, to disinfect or sanitize, but neither should be used exclusively.
Richardson said he hopes more farmers will consider adding fire sanitation equipment as part of their strategy to keep their flocks safe. He noted that propane technology continues to advance where the equipment is becoming more efficient.
However, cost remains a deciding factor for farmers as input costs rise.
"If you talk to the farmers, they're not getting increases on the revenue side, so they're constantly looking for some way that they can decrease either labor or any of their overhead costs, and definitely, fuels are one of those costs, and probably one of the biggest costs," Richardson said. "So, they're always looking at which way to go with different things."

Beekeeping: Honey bee exhibit will help educate children on the importance of pollinators
Continued From Page 1

technically, but I call them Realtors, because they go out looking for a home, and whichever one comes back and says, `Hey, I got the spot,' the swarm will take off and they're gone. It's like a tornado," Richter said.
Part of Richter's business is capturing swarms, and one reason that's possible with minimal drama is because the bees gorge themselves on honey prior to departure. They also have nothing to protect, making them very docile. That doesn't make them one bit more malleable to the will of man, though.
In early spring of this year, a hive in the Carter pecan orchard cleaved in two and the breakaway bees took up residence on a fence

To learn more about the Jimmy Carter Boyhood Farm and the Jimmy Carter National Historical Park, visit www.nps.gov/jica
post. Morgan said there are many ways to capture a swarm some right, some wrong. When bees swarm a tree limb, the beekeeper can cut the limb and carry limb and bees together in a five-gallon bucket to a new bee box.
To capture swarms in places other than the Carter farm, Richter has used an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (commonly known as a drone,

but not to be confused with drone bees, a small number of males tolerated by a hive of females for their ability to service the queen for purposes of procreation). By attaching pheromones to the drone, Richter lures bee swarms out of trees or other high perches. They literally follow the drone to the ground.
Morgan had to gently brush the fencepost swarm into a Tupperware container with holes punched in the lid and transport them to their own box, separate from the original hive.
"I got them off the fencepost the first time and I got a call literally an hour later: `They're back,'" Morgan said.
Thinking he failed to capture the queen, Morgan went back and hunted for her the queen likes dark spaces, and the colony protects her fiercely.
"The hardest thing about capturing a swarm is the fact that it is hard to tell if you got the queen," Morgan said. "It's a trial-and-error process. You relocate them to a new box and once they settle, you inspect and locate the queen. If there is no queen or if you are unsuccessful with locating her, the bees will swarm again."
After a couple more tries at relocating the colony, the theory developed that although the box Morgan put them in had not housed bees in two years, the lingering pheromones of a previous queen signaled to the new residents

that they were trespassing in another's home. Morgan is working with Richter to build
the Carter farm honey bee colony back to the level the Carter family maintained. Morgan is also working on a curriculum for school children to educate them about honey bees.

Master Beekeeper Dale Richter, far left, helped the National Park Service re-establish honey bees on the grounds of the Jimmy Carter Boyhood Farm. With Richter and the hives are Jill Stuckey, park superintendent, and Brett Morgan, park ranger.

Young Harris Beekeeping Institute celebrates 30th anniversary

By Jordan Powers
UGA College of Agricultural and
Environmental Sciences
Beekeepers are gathered in the North Georgia Mountains for the 30th Young Harris Beekeeping Institute. The event, held in person at Young Harris College May 18-21, is an immersion experience for anyone interested in bees and beekeeping, regardless of experience level.
"For brand-new beginners, we offer classes on everything you need to know to start beekeeping. For hobbyists, sideliners and professionals, we offer classes on the latest science-based recommendations for improving your skills, the health of your bees and the bottom line of your beekeeping business," said Keith Delaplane, professor in the Department of Entomology at the UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and one of the founders of the Young Harris Beekeeping Institute. "The optional trainings master beekeeper, welsh honey judge and certified bee removal operator offer experienced beekeepers the chance to be recognized for their expertise and specialize their skills."
Becky Griffin, CAES community and school garden coordinator at the Georgia Mountain Research and Education Center in Blairsville, said that the biggest impact of the institute is the new knowledge that beekeepers take home to their apiaries, whether they are a commercial beekeeper or a new hobbyist.

"Beekeeping is challenging and tackling bee problems involves multiple approaches," Griffin said. "The institute is a forum for experts to introduce new research on bee issues and for fellow beekeepers to share their experiences. Every beekeeper leaves the institute with something new to try."
Delaplane said that the institute serves to add to the growing pool of more than 1,000 certified Master Beekeepers across the state of Georgia and the Eastern U.S. who serve as credible ambassadors for bees and beekeeping in their home communities.
"Another long-range impact is the Welsh Honey Judge system introduced to the U.S. through a long collaboration between the Young Harris Beekeeping Institute and colleagues in the United Kingdom," Delaplane said. "This system of honey judging takes a more sensory, as opposed to analytical, approach to judging the market quality of beehive products think wine tasting versus a chemistry lab."
Julia Mahood, master beekeeper and longtime institute attendee, said many participants in the institute come for the master beekeeper-certified program, where four levels of testing are offered, or the Welsh Honey Judge training program. This year, the institute will also offer a new training on completing bee removals from structures, which will be required by law starting in 2023.
"Having one conference that covers all of these programs is unique," Mahood said. "The knowledge you come away with is

spectacular a really nice bonus is meeting beekeepers from all over and seeing old friends."
Also new for this year's institute is the launch of the "Creating a Buzz" award. Designed to show appreciation for county extension programs that are excelling in

pollinator education, the award offers 10 counties the opportunity to send a delegate to the conference.
"We are excited to host the 30th annual institute and especially excited to celebrate this long-term success by offering scholarships to these 10 counties so that we can encourage even broader participation," said Laura Perry Johnson, head of UGA Cooperative Extension.
Griffin added that the opportunity to send delegates from 10 counties means more beekeepers across the state will have access to the important information coming from the institute as attendees report back to their extension beekeepers and local beekeeping clubs.
"In my 20-plus years of being a beekeeper, I've attended hundreds of bee meetings," said Jennifer Berry, an apiculture research professional and lab manager for the UGA Honey Bee Program. "To me, the institute is by far the most welcoming and fun meeting. We make it our mission, for beekeepers of all ages and backgrounds, to enjoy themselves, learn from fellow beekeepers and feel they are a part of this amazing world of beekeeping."
