GDA suspends poultry events statewide as HPAI cases rise in U.S.

No cases have been identified in Georgia

Effective Feb. 16, the Georgia Department of Agriculture is suspending all poultry and feathered fowl exhibitions, shows, sales (flea markets, auction markets), swaps, and meets in Georgia until further notice. Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza has been identified in commercial poultry operations and a backyard flock in Indiana, Kentucky, and Virginia. No cases of AI have been identified in Georgia.
The United States Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service announced confirmation of the latest incidence of HPAI on Feb. 15 involving birds in two states a flock of commercial broiler chickens in Fulton County, Ky., and a backyard flock of mixed species birds in Fauquier County, Va.
APHIS is working closely with state animal health officials in Kentucky and Virginia on joint incident responses. State officials quarantined the affected premises, and birds on the properties will be depopulated to prevent the spread of the disease. Depopulation is complete in Virginia. Birds from the flocks will not enter the food system.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, these avian influenza detections do not present an immediate public health concern. No human cases of these

National FFA celebrates the legacy of New Farmers of America

New archives will tell the story of NFA members

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

"I keep records of receipts and disbursements just as Washington kept his accounts -- carefully and accurately. I encourage thrift among the members and strive to build up our financial standings through savings and investments. Booker T. Washington was better able to serve his countrymen and posterity, because he was financially independent."
By Bev Flatt Reprinted with permission from the FFA New Horizons
While the majority of FFA members can recite the first two sentences of this quote from memory, the third is less familiar. These words have not been spoken in an official agricultural education meeting since the New Farmers of America (NFA) and the Future Farmers of America (now National FFA Organization) became one organization more than 50 years ago.

While labeled a merger in 1965, the NFA was basically absorbed by FFA. At the time, both organizations were independently successful in honing leadership skills and providing professional development opportunities for young men in agriculture. Since combining, however, the number of Black Americans who benefit from activities in FFA and agricultural education has decreased drastically. Many of the traditions, history and culture of Black agricultural education have been erased or forgotten.
With recent research by Antoine Alston, Ph.D., professor and associate dean at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, and Dexter Wakefield, Ph.D., professor and associate dean of academic programs at Alcorn State University, more is known about the experiences of former NFA members.
"If you think about the age of a former NFA member or even NFA teachers today, they would be more than 75 to 80 years old,"

Four members of the North Carolina Association of New Farmers of America (NFA) attend state convention (c. 1950). (Special Photo)
says Alston. "Our time to learn from these early, Black agricultural leaders is running out. If we don't capture their experiences and their memories now, it may soon be lost to history."

Market Watch: Minor markets have big impact on state

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
The Ellijay Apple House and Glennville Farmers Market are the smaller siblings among facilities operated by the Georgia Department of Agriculture. Still, they have a significant impact in supporting small local farmers.
John Reece of B.J. Reece Orchards and Barry Pritchett of Pritchett Family Farm are the last tenants still using the Apple House, located in an industrial area in Ellijay. Both families operate agritourism destinations at their farms where visitors can pick apples or rent out banquet facilities. At the orchards, they sell apples by how much a visitor picks. At the Apple House, they sell apples wholesale by the truckload.
"We depend on those coolers for storage, and it's a place to load and unload tractor-trailers that we don't have room to do that at the orchard," Reece said.
Pritchett said the Apple House used to be very busy. "It has a very unique history. Ellijay used to be the first to pack Red Delicious apples anywhere in the United States before the advent of hydro-coolers," he said.
In Glennville, Shad Dasher describes himself as the last of a kind operating as a grower and packer of Vidalia Onions. The farmers market located on Veterans Boulevard in Glennville has been around since the 1940s. Before onions, Glennville was better known for tomatoes, like Cordele is known for watermelons. But now, it's all about onions, and most farms have grown in size to pack and ship out direct from field to truck.
"Used to, I would say there would be 15 onion growers packing here on the market. Now, it's down to the lone Indian: me," Dasher said.
Dasher farms grows about 200 acres of Vidalia Onions. His customers are not grocery stores but Rotary clubs, church groups and Boy Scout troops who sell bags of his Vidalia Onions for fundraising.
Dasher said most of his customers would buy a pallet or half-pallet of onions, too small for the large farms. He said he found his market niche attending a trade conference years ago.
"A fellow came up to me and said, `Your competitor over there said I would have to buy 20,000 onions before he would talk to me. How many onions do I have to buy from you for you to talk to me?'" Dasher recalled. "I said, `Brother, I've got five young'uns at the house. If you come to the shed to

buy onions, I'll sell you one bag.'" Daniel Dreggors is the other tenant in Glennville and
operates Norris Dreggors and Son Farms out of one of the sheds. They used to pack cucumbers, squash and bell peppers but now transport produce from one point to the next. Dreggors said he uses the docks to transfer loads from one truck to another.
"I used to have a retail place up front, but I stopped using it in 2008, so mainly I use it to ship and dock stuff on my side, and (Dasher) will pack onions on his side," Dreggors said. "During the onion season, he'll use my side when I don't need it, and we just swap back and forth."
The history of both facilities goes back generations. In Ellijay, the Reece and Pritchett families have used the Apple House for more than 40 years. Pritchett and Reece worked there growing up and have since taken over operations from their fathers, who started their businesses. Though the Apple House is mainly used for storage, they said they have no plans to leave. The place has served them well.
"Yeah, the sign is still on the front. It's in pretty good shape," Pritchett said.
In Glennville, the farmers market goes back to the 1940s and hosted a regional tomato auction for the Southeast.

Dreggors and Dasher have been tenants at the market since the 1980s and farmed with their fathers. "We probably grew up 300 yards away from each other. We went to school together, too," Dreggors said.
Dasher said his father sold his produce at the farmers market starting in the 1950s. When tomatoes played out, they switched to onions. Dasher said they worked together until his father passed away last year. He hopes to keep working out of the farmers market for just as long.
"Well, as long as the state holds on to the market, I plan on being here. I'm in my mid-50s. My dad was 82, and he was still getting out in the onion fields. So, I hope that I live to be 80 something years old and still growing a few onions."
The Ellijay Apple House is located at 295 Industrial Blvd., Ellijay, and the Glennville Farmers Market is located at 1213 S. Veterans Blvd., Glennville. Both facilities are operated by the Georgia Department of Agriculture along with major and community markets in Atlanta, Augusta, Macon, Savannah, Thomasville, Cairo, Cordele, Moultrie and Valdosta. To learn more about lease opportunities available at the markets and other facilities, go to http://agr.georgia.gov/ marketing-division.aspx or contact the Marketing Division at 404-656-3368.

The Apple House in Ellijay, pictured, and the Glennville Farmers Market are facilities operated by the Georgia Department of Agriculture that serve small farming operations. In Ellijay, the facility provides cold storage for Pritchett and B.J. Reece apple orchards. In Glennville, the market is home to Onionman Company, a small Vidalia farm and packer, and Norris Dreggors & Son Farms, a produce transportation company. (Special Photo)

Larry For The Country: Peace of mind

By Larry Walker
lwalker@whgmlaw.com
If you were born after 1980, do not waste your time reading this. First, you probably won't understand much of it, and the part you do understand will likely not be favorable to you. Secondly, you will feel that your time would have been better spent with checking your emails, sending emails, scanning your iPad, responding to all of this technology communication, and, most importantly, making sure that you are current and up-to-date on all social media. So, I know you do not want to spend 10 minutes reading the rest of this. "Happiness Lost." I think that more than any one thing all people want peace of mind. You know, happiness, being content with your life, satisfied, peace of mind. Sadly, it is my strong belief that most have less contentment and satisfaction with their lives than their forefathers had. Let me elaborate. Religion and the Church (by whatever name called) have significantly declined in importance to Americans. That's my opinion. When I was living at home, and until I had my own home, I was expected to attend church or

church-related meetings up to five times a week: Church, Sunday School, Sunday night church, Wednesday night supper and, when I became a teenager, Methodist Youth Fellowship.
Now for my wife Janice and me, it's twice a week: Sunday church where we have a young, smart, energetic minister, Tom Carruth, who teaches the Bible, but also talks about current problems and challenges and how to deal with them as a Christian should. I think the church, the Bible, and our preacher help me to have more peace of mind than I would have without the church and these teachers. Peace of Mind. My belief: If we lose our churches, we will lose our country as most know it. We are already heading down this road.
Food: In many places, here in our country, and all over the world, people do not have enough to eat. And yet, many restaurants in our country are serving unreasonably large amounts of food to their customers. No wonder that so many are grossly overweight. Cutting down on what we eat and eating better (health-wise food) would serve us well. And, there would be more for the millions that do not have enough to eat.
Television Commercials: I will keep this brief, but I am not happy with the trend as I see it, of many of the commercials on television. These ads are more and more suggestive and are increasingly graphic. Where will it all end? Will it ever end? I hope so, but probably "no."

Travel is a hassle and is getting worse. Crime seems to me to be increasing and your chances of being a victim of crime, innocent or otherwise, seems to be going from possibility to probability.
I could go on and on but you already know of the things I have already written and other things that contribute to our lack of peace: climate change, weather changes, light pollution, threats of nuclear annihilation, rampant epidemics, invasive plants and animals, inflation, stagnation, etc. And this does not even include itching skin, wrinkled faces, irregularity, aging spots, memory loss, etc., etc.
Oh, for the old days, after electricity of course, but before social media. This is all just an old man's expressing what all old men express: "It used to be better back then." Still, I say that folks do not have the peace of mind that they used to have. And, by the way, if you follow a mule and a plow all day, as many of our forefathers did, you don't stay awake all night worrying about what you have to do all the next day. You already know that you will be watching the same mule's rear-end all day until you are through with planting, cultivating, and making the crop.
Most of this article has been very negative. I will try to do better next month.
Ecclesiastes 1:9 What has been done will be, and what has been done is what will be done; there is nothing new under the sun.

Mercer Medical Moment: February is American heart month

By Stormy Orlin
Second Year MD Student
Mercer University School of Medicine
Did you know February is American Heart Month? In 1963, the United States government recognized the increasing need to improve the heart health of our citizens, so we have been turning our attention to the ticker every February to bring awareness and information on the leading cause of death in Americans.
To get a better idea of how common heart disease is in the U.S. consider these stats from the CDC: On average, every 40 seconds someone has a heart attack. Nearly 659,000 people die from heart disease each year. That's 1 in every 4 deaths. About 18 million adults over 20 have Coronary Artery Disease. Knowledge is power! It is important to understand your risk of heart disease so you can consider prevention measures. Americans most at risk for heart disease are those with existing conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes to name a few. Other factors that may increase your chances of heart disease include smoking, consuming alcohol, obesity, lack of physical activity, and family history of heart disease. While some risk factors are beyond our control, like family history, most are reasonably modifiable. It is more important than ever to learn ways in which you can improve the health of your heart through

prevention and simple lifestyle modifications. Prevention is always preferred over scrambling to cure or manage an incredibly difficult illness.
Check your fridge and pantry. What is your go-to when you need a nibble? Here are a few easy, and tasty, swaps that can seriously improve your overall health. Swap your candy for blueberries and raspberries that
boost your metabolism and immune system. Instead of ice cream try low-fat whipped cream on top of
a sweet, sliced Georgia peach. Replacing soda for brewed tea or black coffee has been
shown to decrease risk for diabetes as well as promoting healthy weight loss. Potato chips are full of empty calories that leave you just as hungry as when you started while adding little nutritional value. Almonds and walnuts have been shown to lower the risk for additional heart complications in those with previous heart attacks. Even one of these substitutions can go a very long way. As with everything, moderation is key. Portion size and daily intake should be observed on all nutrition labels. Keeping portion sizes small and within healthy limits is especially important for fruits and veggies that are full of natural sugars and starch (carrots, potatoes, cherries). Starting with small, attainable goals is a great way to kick off your new year. An easy rule of thumb is to keep snacking, sodium, high-fructose corn syrup, and refined sugars to a minimum. However, if you're in need of something to hold you over, try and pick an item that grows from a tree or the ground (walnuts, peaches, almonds, spinach, broccoli etc.). Keep an eye out for "trans fat" labels. Trans fat can actually lower your good cholesterol (HDL) and healthy cholesterol is

key to a healthy heart and body. Another helpful hint is to think about where you find most
of your food at the grocery store. The perimeter of the store is usually where you can find heart-healthy veggies like cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, as well as lean meats. The center of the store typically houses the processed boxed and canned items. Try filling your cart with more fresh items than boxed next time you are grocery shopping.
Physical activity is a crucial part of heart health. These simple activity boosters can easily be added into your daily routine. Stand up. If you work at a desk, set a reminder to stand
up at least once an hour. You can either do a quick stretch, grab a glass of water (8 cups per day is the goal), or walk to the bathroom to get your circulation moving. Rebooting your circulation can help you think clearer while increasing your movement throughout the day. Park your car. Next time you go to the grocery store, a doctor's appointment, or drive to work, choose a parking spot in the back. This is an easy way to incorporate additional physical activity without massive modifications to your daily routine. Find a walking buddy. Walking just 30 minutes a day can lower your risk for heart disease, improve muscle strength and boost your mood. This is a great activity to do with your spouse, family, or friends. There is no step too small when working towards better health. Whether it's throwing out the cigarettes, one less soda a day, or an extra walk for your dog every healthy choice is a victory. I challenge you to make at least one positive modification to improve your health this month and stick to it. Your heart will thank you!

FFA: Integration brought the end of NFA
Continued From Page 1
NFA National Board of Trustees in 1956. (Special Photos) Understand the History
The roots of NFA can be traced back more than 140 years to Booker T. Washington, an influential educator, author, and civil rights leader.
In 1880, Washington, the son of former slaves and an advocate for black progress through education and entrepreneurship, established an agricultural class for Black boys in his one-room school in Tuskegee, Ala. Beginning in 1896, the segregation of races in educational establishments was instituted under the "separate but equal" doctrine created by Plessy v. Ferguson, a U.S. Supreme Court case in which the Court decided that racial segregation laws were constitutional as long as the facilities for each race were equal in quality. It would remain in practice by the United States for the next 70 years, and ultimately led to the creation of similar but separate organizations like NFA and FFA.
Later, passage of the Smith-Hughes Act of 1917 barely 50 years removed from the end of slavery provided funding to states for vocational and agricultural education. Dr. H.O. Sargent was soon appointed as the first federal agent of vocational agricultural education for special groups, which included Black, Hispanic and Native American citizens. He was widely accepted by Black agricultural educators, and under his leadership, Black agricultural education expanded and many Black teacher-trainers were awarded fellowships for graduate studies. Understand the Journey
In 1927, Sargent teamed up with G.W. Owens, a teacher- trainer at Virginia State College, to draft the first constitution and bylaws for New Farmers of Virginia, an organization for Black agriculture students. That same year, 400 New Farmers of Virginia members from 18 chapters held a state rally to create more interest in the vocation of farming, encourage cooperative effort among agricultural students and develop rural leadership.
From 1927 to 1935, plans for the national NFA organization took shape and it was officially formed Aug. 4, 1935, at Tuskegee Institute in Tuskegee, Ala. From then on, an emblem compris-

Georgie's Drive Back

Thru Kettle Creek

Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel thru Georgia promoting the Peach State's No. 1 industry, agriculture! I love to travel to new places and make new friends. When I tell them that I'm from Milan, they say one of two things: either "Where is that?" or "We call it Millen." I then tell them where Milan is or talk about how there's a Milan and a Millen. Through the years, I've found out there are also three Jacksonvilles along with a Jackson, Jackson County, Unionville, Union City, Union County, Richmond Hill, Sugar Hill, Tunnel Hill, and Ben Hill County -- none of which is anywhere near the others. And let's not forget Adel, Rochelle, Coverdale, Austell, Lindale, Ellabell, Riverdale, Clyo, Nunez, and Conyers. Well, I found out last week that there's a better one than all of those. There's a Washington County and a Wilkes County. It doesn't seem that confusing until you realize that the city of Washington is in Wilkes County instead of Washington County. No problem till you put it in the paper. Kettle Creek Battlefield is in Wilkes County, only about 50 miles from Washington County. We reported it incorrectly Feb. 9, and we appreciate everyone who pointed out the error of our ways. Until next time, we wish you safe, and accurate, travels.

A monument to the Battle of Kettle Creek in Wilkes County reads: This battle of the American Revolution in which the British were severely defeated checked their invasion of Georgia. (Lee Lancaster/GDA)

Brianna Bell of Social Circle didn't answer the age-old question of which came first, but she did a fine job of identifying the life cycles of the chicken and the egg.

PRESERVING THE PAST
The National FFA Organization is
helping to fund the NFA Archives
project in 2022 to ensure these
important perspectives are not
lost. Antoine Alston, Ph.D, and
Dexter Wakefield, Ph.D, are also
creating an NFA pictorial to doc-
ument the history of NFA through
photos.
NFA operated autonomously from its inception in 1935 until 1941. During this time, NFA grew to consist of 1,004 chapters in 12 states and more than 50,000 members. In 1941, the U.S. Department of Education which didn't employ a single Black person to represent NFA brought NFA under its own authority, removing authority from the NFA leaders of that time. NFA leaders recognized the need to secure leadership positions in education departments to support their interests at the local, state, and national levels. Over the next two decades, NFA leaders made repeated attempts to gain representation.
Meanwhile, momentum for "separate but equal" legislation began to slow. In addition to other court cases, in 1954, the Supreme Court

opportunities in all positions and activities. It did not happen."
These long-lasting impacts are still felt today. In 1965, more than 52,000 young men were members of NFA. Today, just 36,000 FFA members identify as Black, which accounts for only 5 percent of membership.
But Alston says not all of NFA disappeared.
"While there was significant loss, there are a lot of NFA activities that still exist as a part of FFA today," says Alston. "The challenge has been around access. It's all about resources when it comes to being an effective organization. Decades ago, resources were a barrier when agricultural education membership [costs] went from 5 in the NFA to 50 in FFA. Back then, it was typically not fea-

is made up of more than 700,000 members, each with their own unique history, heritage, interests and vision for the future. We honor and respect the differences among us that make us stronger."
Learning what happened in 1965 may inspire members to take action and ensure the NFA culture is not lost. What could this look like? Movements start at the grassroots level with members and chapters. Perhaps members can initiate a scavenger hunt through the NFA archives. Or chapters can invite community members who were students during segregation to share their experiences or become an honorary chapter member. Maybe members will find inspiration in the former NFA talent programs and host a quartet competition. Chapters may look
to supplement copies of the Official FFA Manual with additional historical material on NFA to ensure the past is not forgotten. Start small now, then think bigger.
Regardless of the actions members are inspired to take or the emotions processed, recognition of the NFA perspective is a step to reevaluate a decades-old absorption and turn it into a true merger making FFA an organization for all. Understand Our Potential
For one FFA member in Tennessee, a gap in a history lesson led to a drastic shift in the way NFA history is taught at his school.

Georgia FFA
honors the NFA
Camp John Hope FFA-FCCLA Center in Fort Valley has installed a permanent exhibit of New Farmers of America memorabilia. The camp was founded in 1937 as an educational and recreational retreat for young Black men and became a hub of activity for the New Farmers of America in Georgia.
The centerpiece of the camp's exhibit is the NFA jacket worn by Dr. Ira Hicks, who spent 22 years teaching agriculture in Georgia. Born to sharecroppers in Macon in 1928, Hicks spent his childhood working in cotton fields and later attended Fort Valley State College, paying his tuition with money he earned picking apples.
He was active as an FFA and NFA adviser, and 12 of his students served as state or national officers in both organizations. During segregation he served as president of the Black agricultural teachers association in Georgia. In 1976 he was named dean of instruction in the School of Agriculture, Home Economics, and Allied programs at Fort Valley State University, serving until his retirement in 1985. Dr. Hicks died Jan. 13, 2021, at the age of 92.
