Researchers introduce latest findings at Midville Field Day

MIDVILLE University of Georgia researcher Glen Harris talked with farmers about improving soil fertility. Harris was one of several researchers demonstrating their work to farmers during field day on Aug. 10. Harris's work boiled down to economics; how much money can a farmer spend on inputs to get the most out of their crops?
"It's about getting your money back from putting on extra fertilizer and taking all the other things and economics out of the picture," Harris told the producers as he acknowledged rising prices for fertilizers.
About 150 farmers from east Georgia attended the field day this year held at the Southeast Research and Education Center. Researchers with UGA's College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences gave presentations on pest and disease management of row crops, soil nutrition, soil conservation, water management, precision agriculture technology and new hybrids for peanuts, cotton, soybeans, and corn.
Harris, who is a University of Georgia crops and soil science researcher, spoke about adjusting the NPK balance nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) in his study plots to determine optimal yield for

cotton and peanuts. Along with presenting the UGA recommended NPK ratios, Harris advised producers to set reasonable yield goals.
He added that increasing yield could work for cotton farmers if commodity prices were high enough to sell enough cotton to cover inputs. But Harris added that cotton prices could drop, leaving a farmer in a tough spot.
"It's all about risk and reward sometimes, right?" Harris asked.
Some of the research projects addressed climate change, with this year's weather as an example. It was very dry and hot in June and early July, then it became wet with plenty of rain.
Burke County UGA Extension Agent Peyton Sapp and UGA graduate assistant Mary Logan Tostenson presented their work on soil water holding capacity. Sapp showed how he applied blue dye to the ground to see

how water and soil interacted. A hole dug into the ground showed how deep the dye penetrated the soil and how long the soil retained water under different tilling methods and cover crops.
Tostenson's research involved using sensors placed in a field that used soil electroconductivity to measure the moisture content of a field. She explained that the results would help UGA Extension advise farmers on their irrigation programs.
Story Gaines, a Burke County farmer, watched the demonstrations with interest.

An aerial ballet over the fields of Georgia
Crop dusters bring flair, daring to the science of growing healthy crops
By Amy Carter amy.carter@agr.georgia.gov

Crop dusting is a lot like life. One minute you're flying along, wings level, horizon clear, and then bam! Up is down or sideways or somewhere around here, and that horizon one of the few relatively straight lines in this topsy-turvy world is just plain gone. Your pilot is cool and calm, his tone matter-of-factly hospitable in the headphones as he asks (coffee? tea? air sick bag?) "You okay back there?" Ag pilots make it look easy, all that gravity-defying flying for the sake of healthy crops. Viewed from the ground, the pattern resembles pure seat-of-the-pants daredevilry, flying 150-plus miles an hour, skimming the tops of cotton, soybeans, or blueberries low enough in the old days to snag leaves and limbs in the landing gear before climbing straight up and banking hard for another go at the next row. In truth, agricultural aviation is equal parts nerve, skill, science, and sound Georgia-grown manufacturing. Most of the crop-dusting planes flown in Georgia are made in Albany by Thrush Aircraft, successor to a manufacturing lineage that began with North American Rockwell in 1970. "Every aircraft on this field right now is

Fellow pilots look on as a crop duster tests his spray pattern at Souther Field at Jimmy Carter Regional Airport in Americus in April. The pilot aims for a string line anchored by tripods in a field and sprays dyed water that leaves a pattern on the string. (Amy Carter/GDA)

Thrush except for one Cessna," said Clint Hubbard, chief financial officer of Thrush Aircraft, as he surveyed some 20 planes parked on the tarmac at Jimmy Carter Regional Airport in Americus during an annu-

al fly-in for ag pilots held in the spring. The Georgia Agricultural Aviation As-
sociation hosts the fly-in clinic every year to help ag pilots check their spray patterns

Rising temperatures mean significant impacts for Georgia

By Pam Knox
University of Georgia
Halfway through 2022, Earth is on course for another top-10 finish in global temperature. After six months, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported that the period from January through June 2022 was the planet's sixth warmest on record, with observations that go back to 1880. July has also been warmer than normal in most regions, so that top-10 status is not likely to change. Getting warmer
By comparison, Georgia was in a cooler spot on the globe this year. January through June totals were only the 16th warmest for records that go back to 1895, with an average temperature of 62.2 degrees Fahrenheit.
The warmest January through June half-year was in 2017, and the three warmest years were all in the last decade -- 2017, 2012 and 2019. Other recent warm January through June periods were 1927 (during an exceptional drought) and 1974, during a strong El Nio.
While there is a lot of year-to-year variability in temperature, Georgia is getting warmer along with the rest of the globe. The major cause of this increase is the addition of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Those gases trap heat near the surface of the earth, where we live.
Other smaller contributions to the warming trend include the expansion of urban areas and the increase in humidity due to warmer ocean temperatures. Higher humidity leads to warmer nights since water vapor also traps heat near Earth's surface. This is bad for humans as well as livestock since both need cooler nights to recover from the daytime heat.
More urban areas mean more pavement, which heats up during the day and releases the heat at night. There are also fewer trees to produce shade. The increase in humidity is due mainly to the rise in sea-surface temperatures around the globe and the consequent evaporation of water from the oceans. Outcomes for Georgians
In Georgia, warmer temperatures in winter can cause problems for peach and blueberry farmers, since those crops need plenty of cold weather to produce a large yield in the next growing season. They can also cause problems for commodity crops like corn and cotton, since warmer winters allow insect pests and diseases to overwinter, making them more likely to occur during the next growing season. In the winter of 2021-22, some areas of southwest Georgia did not see their first frost until mid-January, which caused problems for farmers as their crops developed over the summer.
Warmer temperatures in winter can lead to lower pow-

er bills, as heating may be needed for fewer hours. But in summer, air conditioning costs are expected to increase significantly since hotter summers require more cooling. This is especially serious for people who live in cities, where the heat is often 10 degrees or more higher than rural areas outside the populated areas. If residents in those areas do not have access to good air conditioning, they are in danger of dying from heat-related illnesses.
Warmer temperatures also have other effects. The growing season is starting to occur earlier than it has in the past. This may be good for farmers who are eager to start a crop, but it means that pollen also starts earlier and the pollen season lasts longer than it did years ago. It also means that flowering trees and plants that provide food to birds and pollinators may start to bloom so early that the animals that depend on those plants have not migrated north into our area. This means they are likely to starve due to lack of suitable food sources.
That said, warmer conditions do have some positive effects. Warmer conditions allow farmers to grow new crops like satsuma citrus, olives, and pomegranates, which need warm conditions to thrive. A longer growing season could give farmers more chance of growing two crops in one year, a method known as "double-cropping."
While temperatures are getting warmer, precipitation is also changing. Higher temperatures lead to more evaporation and an amplified water cycle. That means more floods and

droughts may occur because rain will come down in heavier bursts, with longer dry spells in between. This will cause problems for agriculture, transportation and other infrastructure, and human health. Melting sea ice
The NOAA report also stated that sea ice is decreasing in both the Arctic and Antarctica as a consequence of warming global temperatures. According to NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information, Antarctica saw its lowest June ice coverage on record.
As the sea ice melts, the poles get even warmer than the mid-latitudes because of the decrease in reflective snow and ice. This can have consequences for Georgia by changing the large-scale weather pattern across the Northern Hemisphere, which is driven by temperature differences between the Equator and the North Pole. If that temperature difference changes, the pattern of atmospheric flow may also shift, bringing unexpected weather to our state.
By reducing the emission of greenhouse gases, we may be able to reduce the amount of warming in the future. You can help by reduscing your use of power and fossil fuels and cutting food waste, which releases methane, another powerful greenhouse gas, when the unused food decays.

Georgia Cooking: Easy green bean casserole

Not your typical green bean casserole, this recipe replaces the canned green beans and condensed soup with fresh green beans and creamy homemade mushroom sauce, substituting sweet caramelized onions and a buttery bread crumb topping for French-fried onion rings.
Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 45 minutes Total time: 1 hour Servings: 8
Ingredients 1 1/2 lbs green beans,
trimmed 1 large sweet onion, thinly
sliced 6 Tbsps butter, divided 2 (8-oz) packages sliced
cremini mushrooms

1 tsp salt, divided 1 clove garlic, minced 3 Tbsps all-purpose flour 2 cups milk, warmed 1 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme 1/2 tsp pepper 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/2 cup panko-style
breadcrumbs
Instructions Bring a large pot of water to a boil and blanch the green beans for 7 minutes. Shock the green beans in a bowl filled with ice water, then drain into a colander and set aside to dry.
Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet. Saut onion 10-12 minutes until caramelized. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Place the same pan back on the cooktop; melt another 2 tablespoons butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Saut until mushrooms are soft and lightly caramelized. Stir in minced garlic; cook 2-3 minutes longer. Sprinkle flour over cooked mushroom mixture, stirring until well combined. Gradually pour in warm milk while stirring.
Heat to a low simmer and cook until sauce begins to thicken. Add about 1/4 cup of the caramelized onions to sauce and stir in remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add green beans and stir to coat.

Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in microwave-safe bowl, gently stir in breadcrumbs until butter is absorbed; set aside.
Pour green bean mixture into a cast-iron skillet or baking dish; top with remaining caramelized onions and breadcrumb mixture. Place under broiler for 8-10 minutes or until top is lightly browned. Serve immediately.
Note: Can substitute lactose-free milk.

Market Watch: Valdosta's Farmer Brown's Produce offers good conversation, produce for 44 years

By Jay Jones jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
Customers walking into Farmer Brown's Produce store at the Valdosta State Farmers Market will find just about anything they need in produce and Georgia-grown products. They may also find good conversation from the owners, Rex Ethridge and his son, Phil.
"Man, the one thing I love about working here is dealing with the customers, talking to folks," Phil said. "I love it. I love talking with people."
The sense of community is a hallmark of Farmer Brown's. Along with their wide selection of vegetables, fruit, jams, jellies, meats, and other agricultural products, the Ethridges will offer a handshake and a good deal.
Rex started the business in 1978 as a produce stand. Over the years, they grew with the farmers market to expand as wholesalers serving restaurants and stores. Rex explained the business today is about half wholesale and
The Valdosta State Farmers Market is located at 1600 South Patterson St, just south of downtown Valdosta. The Valdosta market is also home to Carter and Sons Produce, Facebook: @CASProduce and B.E. Guess & Sons Pecan Company, https://guesspecan. com.

half retail. Regardless of who's buying, he said the customers are why they are there.
"I ain't saying anything where it sounds like you're bragging about yourself because I'm not that type of a person," Rex said. "I'm 80 years old, and I don't have to brag, but we take care of our customers here."
After 44 years, Rex said he still works six days a week. "I take Sunday off because that's the Lord's day, but Sunday is one of our busiest days with folks driving through town, so we're open. Some of our employees need to work on Sundays, but if they can't, we can make arrangements," he said.
Rex said he likes to work and is willing to help when needed and say hello.
"When we're really busy, I'll go out here, and I don't care if who you are, I will go out there and talk with our customers," Rex said. "I tell them how much I appreciate them shopping with us. I even sometimes go up to the cash register. When we're busy, I even tote stuff out."
Farmer Brown's Produce operates yearround and makes a point to buy from local farmers. Tomatoes are a popular item; they source them first from Georgia, and then as the local harvest season closes, they will get them from north Alabama and Tennessee. Georgia peaches are another popular item when they are in season. Rex said they sold out fast of Georgia peaches this summer and had to turn to South Carolina suppliers.
Rex estimated that they buy from over a hundred farmers, with the majority a car drive away from the store.
"I always figured that if I help a local farmer around here, that farmer might come back and buy from me. It's just the right thing to do," Rex said.
"Farmers from way off, they aren't going

Phil, left, and Rex Ethridge operate Farmer Brown's Produce at the Valdosta State Farmers Market.

to trade with us. Farmers in Florida aren't going to drive up to trade with us. We really look

out for our farmers around here." Another summer product at Farmer
Brown's is a Southern delicacy, White Acre peas. White Acre peas are a local favorite among customers and do not last long in the produce stand.
Considered by many in the South as the good peas to serve at important meals, they are known for a creamy texture with a naturally buttery taste. The peas are a favorite for family gatherings and church dinners. Rex said he buys one farmer's acre peas in small qualities, 100-200 bushels. "About as soon as we shell them, they are gone," he said.
Phil said he started working full-time with his father in 1995, but he had on-the-job training since he was nine years old when Rex started the produce stand.
"I don't know how old you are, but I remember toting out those glass, two-liter bottles of Coke-Cola. There were six of them that came in a case, and I can think in my mind right now how heavy those jokers were."
Phil said he didn't understand his father's work ethic when he was younger. But later in life, he realized the joy of working with their employees, customers and suppliers.
"I think my daddy just always loved to work. I didn't at one time, and I'm not saying I didn't want to work, but I didn't have the love for it like he had, and I really didn't understand it," Phil said. "As I've gotten older, I see it a lot more.
"I would say the biggest thing, the one thing I love so much, is dealing with customers and talking with people. I've met so many people I've been friends with for years who I've met here in the store."

Mercer Medical Moment: August is immunization awareness month

By Skylar Faul, Fourth-year MD student
Mercer University School of Medicine
August is immunization awareness month and the events of the COVID-19 pandemic have put vaccines in the spotlight now more than ever. It's important to understand basic information about how vaccines work, the benefits and risks of receiving vaccines, and common vaccine schedules for all ages. What are vaccines and how do they work?
Vaccines use the natural tools our body is already equipped with to fight bacteria and viruses that cause infection and disease. The first time your body encounters a germ, it immediately begins building an immune response to weaken and defeat it. Vaccines work by shortening the time it takes for your body to build up an immune response once infected. By exposing your immune system to a low-dose or killed part of the virus or bacteria, it can begin preparing for battle before you are even infected. Benefits and Risks of Receiving Vaccines
Vaccines give you an advantage when it comes to tackling infection and disease. Vaccines can prevent serious diseases that once harmed or even killed many people of all ages. Many diseases have been almost completely eradicated in the United States due to vaccine efforts, including polio and smallpox.
The only identified risks associated with receiving vaccinations include possible side effects. These side effects can include fever, feeling tired, body aches, and other mild symptoms. These reactions usually quickly resolve and are much milder than the serious symptoms associated with being infected with a vaccine-preventable disease. Common Vaccines by Age Group
Every age group requires different amounts and types of vaccines. With each age group, all vaccines are typically given based on a schedule rather than all at one time. Schedules can vary, but most healthcare providers follow guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, outlined below. The COVID-19 vaccine is also recommended for most age

groups as well. Visit the CDC website or contact your healthcare provider for more information on the COVID-19 vaccine. Pregnant Patients
Vaccines during pregnancy not only provide protection for mom, but also can pass immunity to baby. This helps protect babies during their first few months of life as their immune systems get up and running. Many vaccine-preventable illnesses, such as rubella, can also cause miscarriages and birth defects. The vaccines recommended during pregnancy include MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) at least one month before becoming pregnant, Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) during the third trimester, and a yearly flu vaccine. Birth to age 2
The first two years of life are extremely important and formative for children. Vaccines help kids get off to a healthy start. Often, more than one dose is needed for many vaccines to help build long-term immunity. The recommended vaccines for this age group include: Chickenpox (varicella) Hepatitis B DTap (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis) MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) Flu vaccine Pneumococcal (PCV13) Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b) Polio (IPV) Hepatitis A Rotavirus Preschool and elementary school ages 3-10
As kids enter daycares or schools, they are exposed to more germs than ever. It is important for them to receive some additional doses of vaccines for protection and many schools often require a certificate of vaccine completion. Chickenpox (varicella) MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) DTap (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis) Polio (IPV) Flu vaccine Preteens and adolescents ages 11-18
As children grow older, protection from childhood vaccines grows weaker, and additional doses of vaccines are

needed to kickstart immunity once again. Additional vaccines are also required for this age group due to increased exposure to certain diseases. Many colleges require up-to-date vaccination records as well. Flu vaccine Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) HPV (human papilloma virus) Meningococcal conjugate vaccine Adulthood
Once adulthood is reached, the only frequently administered vaccine is the flu shot which should be received annually before flu season in the winter. Other recommendations to consider are: Adults need a Tetanus-diphtheria (Td) vaccine every 10
years Healthy adults 50 years of age and older should get a shin-
gles vaccine Adults 65+ need one dose of pneumococcal conjugate
(PCV13) followed by one dose of pneumococcal polysaccharide (PSV23) Adults may need other vaccines based on their medical history, travel habits, career, etc. Conclusion
Vaccines are an effective, safe, and easy way to keep people of all ages alive and healthy.
Vaccines go through a rigorous approval process before being offered to the general population. The timing of vaccine administration is based on likelihood of exposure to diseases and how your immune system responds to vaccines at various ages. It is impossible to predict who will get serious infections that may lead to hospitalization or death. This uncertainty is one reason to protect yourself by getting vaccines.
Vaccines not only provide protection to yourself but can also prevent transmission of diseases to loved ones. If you have questions concerning vaccines, please ask your healthcare provider. Resources

UGA Extension tests peanut herbicide for 2023 registration by the U.S. EPA

By Maria M. Lameiras
University of Georgia
Peanut, although a major crop in Georgia, is a minor crop in the U.S., with only about 1.5 million acres planted versus approximately 90 million acres each of field corn and soybeans.
Due to its limited acreage, there are not many herbicides solely developed for peanuts by major agrichemical companies. Unfortunately, emerging herbicide resistance problems in pernicious weeds like Palmer amaranth are of increasing concern in peanut-producing states, and growers need more tools to combat these weeds.
University of Georgia Cooperative Extension weed scientist Eric Prostko has the job of finding new control methods for producers facing herbicide resistance in combatting problem weed species.
Brake (fluridone) is a herbicide used on cotton and in the aquatic market (Sonar), and Prostko has been testing the herbicide on peanuts since 2013. This herbicide brings a different mode of action to the peanut market that hasn't been used in peanut before, he said.
The Weed Science Society of America Group 12 herbicide fits the typical southern row crop rotation schedule, which is why it could make a good fit for producers in Georgia, according to Prostko. He and his team have been working with SePRO, the manu-

facturer of Brake herbicide, and

intended to address a serious Palmer

are hopeful that a full Section

Georgie's Drive Thru Covington
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel thru Georgia promoting the Peach State's No. 1 industry, agriculture. A few months back, I took a detour while I was headed home from Athens. I drove in the heat of the night and passed a police car from Sparta, Mississippi. That was

the biggest cop I've ever seen in my life. Named Lt. Bubba Skinner, he told me to slow down while I traveled through his sleepy little town. When I tried to ask for directions, I saw a sign to Mystic Falls, Va., where a lady was reading a vampire's diary. I continued on through town and could smell the sweet magnolias as I passed by the Corner Spa in Serenity, S.C. At the courthouse square, I saw a Hazzard County Sheriff's deputy chasing an orange car with the number 01 painted on the door. The Dodge Charger got away by jumping over the sheriff's car and running a white Cadillac convertible off the road. That was some kind of place! I had just gone through four states in five minutes, but as I turned onto Pace Street, I saw a mural that read, "Welcome to Covington, Georgia."
Television shows referenced above (in order of ap-
pearance). All were filmed in and around Covington:
In the Heat of the Night (NBC, CBS) 1988-1995
The Vampire Diaries (The CW) 2009-2017
Sweet Magnolias (Netflix) 2020 - present
The Dukes of Hazzard (CBS) 1979-1985

and calibrate their nozzles, said Stephanie Williams, who organizes and hosts the fly-in as head of both the association and Souther Field Aviation.
Aviators who participate in the fly-in earn points toward their pesticide applicators license required by law and provided by the Georgia Department of Agriculture. Fliers take off with 100 gallons of water dyed red and fly over a test string at their typical spraying altitude and speed. The dyed water lands on the string, which is reeled in and analyzed by a consultant for a final report showing where the pilot needs to adjust.
"We come to this clinic to see if what we've done all year is right," said Ron Everidge, a grower and ag pilot who runs what he calls "a small family farm operation" on 3,000 acres in Dooly County.
Everidge's father taught him to fly. He

bought the Thrush he flies today in 1998 and had the signature Thrush yellow repainted white with blue striping. When the stripes didn't quite suit, he had them redone.
"Ag pilots are a little bit of a unique breed," he said. "They like something that describes them."
They also hold onto things that work. The oldest plane on the field for the fly-in was a 1970 model, a tribute to sound craftsmanship. Despite the punishing use, those planes hold their value and then some. Hubbard pointed to a 1974 model that is worth more today ($1.2 million) than it sold for back then ($400,000).
"Crop dusters are purpose-built to carry a large weight, be maneuverable, and to spray," Hubbard said.
The hoppers in the nose of the plane carry up to 700 gallons of fertilizers, pesticides,

Did you know?
Aerial applicators, i.e. crop dusters, must receive a Part 137 license for Agricultural Aircraft Operations from the Federal Aviation Administration, and they must be certified as commercial pesticide applicators by the Georgia Department of Agricuture under Category 34 for Aerial Methods.
Category 34 requires that Aerial Applicators must also be certified in one of the GDA's other commercial categories as well. Those include Agricultural Plant Pest Control, Agricultural Animal Pest Control, and Forest Pest Control.
Manned vs. unmanned application
Unmanned aerial vehicles drones are being tested for use in the aerial application of pesticides and herbicides to small-scale crops. Due to range and battery issues, drones aren't yet practical for aerial application on a large scale.
In the U.S., there are 1746 Part 137 certificated operators (1689 crop dusters and 57 Unmanned Aerial Vehicles/drones)
In Georgia, there are 53 Part 137 certificated operators (52 crop dusters and 1 drone)
-License statistics provided by the FAA

fire retardant or water. In addition to its ag production, Thrush also builds planes for firefighting and, occasionally, military use.
Hubbard said studies suggest aerial spraying of crops versus tractor spraying uses a lower volume of chemicals and results in less crop damage. It also saves a lot of growers from tying up capital in equipment they use only a few times a year.
Everidge said capital is a precious commodity in farming.
"The general population thinks farmers are rich. Well, there's a bunch of rich ones out there but they didn't get rich by farming. They got rich by doing other stuff. I'm a fourth-generation farmer. We've pretty much struggled from day one. Farming is what they call a year-to-year lifestyle. We made it through this past year. We're going to go into it again and hope for the best," Everidge said.
"I've grown cotton my whole life with the exception of the 2021 season, when we grew

all soybeans. Both cotton pickers caught on fire in 2020 and I said, `This is a good time to shift gears and put some rotation in it.' I didn't want to purchase another million-dollar cotton picker."
Evergidge, who is licensed by the GDA as a commercial pesticide applicator and operates Daddy Rabbit Aviation, said he flies primarily for himself.
"I do fly for the public, but that aircraft is for me and for when I need it but if somebody else comes along and needs something, I'm there for them."
Another big investment of time and money in a field full of such demands on growers, aerial application is a matter of efficiency for pilots like Everidge.
"I do have a ground rig for herbicide work and some sensitive work, but when it comes to stink bugs or worms, I can spray everything I got in one day, whereas it would take me a week with a ground rig."

USDA will drop oral rabies vaccine via airplanes, helicopters in Georgia during October

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service will begin its annual distribution of RABORAL V-RG, an oral rabies vaccine bait, in select areas in the eastern United States to prevent the spread of raccoon rabies into America's heartland.
APHIS' Wildlife Services and its cooperators began distributing ORV baits in August across rural areas by airplane

and in suburban or urban areas by helicopter, vehicle and bait station. ORV baits are coated with a fishmeal attractant and are packaged in two-inch plastic sachets or one-inch square cubes.
Wildlife Services and cooperators will distribute ORV baits in select areas and time periods as follows: In Northeast to Mid-Atlantic States during August:
The Houlton, Maine, project will cover parts of northern Maine and distribute approximately 348,000 ORV baits by airplane and vehicle.
The Upshur, W.V., project will cover parts of western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and a small area in southwestern Virginia, distributing approximately 535,000 ORV baits by airplane and vehicle.
In Massachusetts from mid-September through mid-
October:
The Cape Cod, Mass., project will cover parts of peninsular Massachusetts and distribute more than 70,000 ORV baits by helicopter, bait station and vehicle.
In Southern states, during October:
The Abingdon, Va., project will cover parts of North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia and distribute more than 880,000 ORV baits by airplane, helicopter, and vehicle.
The Dalton, Ga., project will cover parts of Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, distributing approximately 820,000 ORV baits by airplane and helicopter.
The Gadsden, Ala., project will cover parts of Alabama (including the Greater Birmingham area) and distribute approximately 1.1 million baits by airplane, helicopter, and vehicle. The RABORAL V-RG vaccine has been deemed safe
in more than 60 different species of animals, including domestic dogs and cats. Humans and pets cannot get rabies from contact with the baits but should leave them undisturbed if they are encountered. Dogs that consume large

in Georgia in October. (Special Photo)
numbers of baits may experience an upset stomach, but there are no long-term health risks. If adults or children come in contact with baits, immediately rinse the contact area with warm water and soap.
Rabies is a serious public health concern. While rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms appear, it also is 100 percent preventable. Human exposures can be successfully remedied if medical attention is sought immediately following exposure. Costs associated with rabies detection, prevention and control may exceed $500 million annually in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 90 percent of reported rabies cases in the U.S. are in wildlife.

Field days abound in coming weeks

Late summer is when growing winds down and producers begin thinking about harvest season. It is also a good time to stop and see how to do things better and more efficiently at various field days conducted across Georgia.
The University of Georgia hosts several field days annually at their experiment and research centers across the state, including the Midville Field Day, which focuses on row crops in east Georgia. Commodity associations and other agricultural organizations also host field days. The events offer producers a chance to meet and talk about farming and see new methods in production farming and ranching demonstrated.

The Carroll County Young Farmers recently hosted their grazing field day on Aug. 12 at Sweet Shrub Farms in Carrollton and John Lyons in Piedmont, AL. Ryan Ayers, Young Farmers advisor for Carroll County Schools, said producers from three states participated in learning about improving soil and animal health.
"Participants were impressed with the ability of switchgrass at Sweet Shrub Farms to improve soil quality," Ayers said in an email. "The switchgrass improved soil structure dramatically turning a hard clay soil into a very arable soft soil in a matter of five years was impressive to participants and the farmers."
John Lyons explains the virtues of adaptive grazing to participants of the Carroll County Young Farmers grazing field day held at his farm and Sweet Shrub Farms in Carrollton. (Ryan Ayers/Special Photo)

Producers also saw demonstrations on increasing Katahdin sheep production with minimum hay, seed, and fertilizer inputs at Sweet Shrub Farms. At John Lyons, farmers saw methods to reduce carbon emissions, improve organic matter, and improve water retention in continuous grazing operations.
