Vidalia onions are making their way to stores
Georgia's exclusive sweet onion will go to the Kentucky Derby, too

From the Vidalia Onion Committee and
Market Bulletin staff reports
Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black celebrated the opening day of Vidalia onion season April 12 at Hendrix Produce in Metter. Grown exclusively in a 20-county area of South Georgia, Vidalia onions are available for a limited time each year. Black, in concert with growers, sets the official pack date that marks the appearance of Vidalia onions on grocery shelves.
"Each year, I, along with the Vidalia Onion Committee, look forward to sharing when Vidalia onions will be on their way to stores," Black said. "Cultivated for more than 80 years, Vidalia onions mean a great deal to the state of Georgia, earning a renowned reputation for their sweet distinct flavor and versatility beloved by chefs and home cooks alike."
The industry marked the pack date by announcing a collaboration with the chef at Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby.
"We're proud to announce our continued partnership with the Kentucky Derby this year, once again bringing together two `rites of spring,'" said Cliff Riner, chair of the Vidalia Onion Committee. "It's an exciting time of year for us as we ship Vidalia onions to grocery store shelves for all to enjoy in their spring and summer recipes."
Vidalia onions are featured in several dishes on the official Derby menus, including: Seared Chicken Breast with Pancetta, Vidalia Onion and Fennel Cream; Short Ribs with Vidalia

Onion Demi; Twinkle Light Succotash; and Green Eggs and Ham.
"When discovering seasonal delights to cook with, Vidalia onions have always stood out as an intriguing ingredient for me to prepare," said Churchill Down's Interim Executive Chef Kenneth Hardiman, "Their sweet, mild flavor plays well in a variety of dishes, making Vidalia's the perfect fit for Derby fans to enjoy when at the racetrack or entertaining at home."
The Vidalia Onion Committee is also partnering with Chef Alon Shaya, James Beard award winner and owner of New Orleans-based Pomegranate Hospitality, to create two additional unique recipes for home chefs and Vidalia onion enthusiasts alike. These include Vidalia Onion and Chicken Gumbo as well as Caramelized Vidalia Onion and Mushroom Toast with Sherry and Gruyere Cheese, which will also be available on the Derby's website.
"As we get ready for the 2022 Kentucky Derby, we're thrilled to have the Vidalia Onion Committee as a returning sponsor," said Mike Anderson, president of Churchill Downs Racetrack. "We're looking forward to enjoying the official menu dishes including this unique sweet onion, while we eagerly watch the races."
While all Vidalia onions are sweet, not all sweet onions can be called a Vidalia. A distinct Granex seed is grown in 20 South Georgia counties, blooming into a sweet, juicy bulb that is harvested, packed and sold on or after the official pack date determined by the state's agriculture department, result-

Pecan growers are optimistic after tough times in 2021
Crop was down by half last year; input costs strain budgets

By Jay Jones jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
Georgia Pecan growers are looking to rebound from a disappointing 2021 with hopes of good weather and a marketing campaign heralding Georgia-grown pecans as the go-to healthy snack.

Georgia pecan production for 2021 was the shortest in over a decade, about 70 million pounds compared to 145 million pounds in the previous year. The shortest pecan crop in state history occurred in 2006 when growers harvested 42 million pounds.
A wetter and cooler spring was cited as the main reason for the 2021 shortage. During the annual Georgia Pecan Growers Association conference in Perry on March 29-31, growers said they are keeping a close eye on the weather and rising costs for inputs this year.
Philip Doles with Green Jaros Farms in Fort Valley refers to his trees lovingly, calling them his children. He said regardless of the concerns listed above, pecans growers will move forward and do what it takes to have a good year.
"You're always making economic decisions, but those are our children, and you don't want to hamper your children, so you put forth everything you can," Doles said. "We're not skimping on anything. We're going to go at it like any other year. Whatever the good Lord gives us, we're going to make the best of it."
Farmers have talked about inputs rising since last fall due to supply chain problems for manufacturers and distributors, a lasting effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. Federal statistics are bearing that out.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service, total manufactured input farm expenses includ-

ing electricity, fertilizer, fuel/oil and pesticides are 18 percent higher than in 2020, the most recent data available. The USDA expects fertilizer costs alone to be 28 percent higher than two years ago.
Doles said he and other growers have been adjusting to meet the expected cost increases. He bought inputs like fungicide early to store on his farm rather than calling on their supplier as needed.
"I keep pretty good spray records, so I went back to get an idea of what we needed

for our chemical distributor and what chemicals weren't going to be available or difficult to get," Doles said. "We went ahead and planned out the year and bought them."
David McEachin, who recently planted 20 acres of his Tifton farm with pecans, said he took additional soil samples to know exactly what he needs so as to avoid buying more inputs than needed. He said that input costs were also a factor in choosing pecan tree va-

Good To Grow: How to deal with unwanted wildlife in the garden

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
Few things goad a gardener or homeowner more than wildlife nesting in the attic or wandering about the yard, munching on flowers and plants. As the weather warms up, squirrels, deer and other critters appear as unwanted guests who can't take a hint to leave.
"I do have pesky geese from time to time, and Goose be Gone, or something like that seems to work temporarily, along with putting objects on the sand where we really don't want them," said Doug Crumbley, a Henry County master gardener. "I tried some pink flamingos last summer, but I wouldn't say any success is guaranteed for very long with any product."
The University of Georgia Extension Service receives many calls from homeowners frustrated with unwanted animals coming into their homes or yards. Tim Daly, a Gwinnett County UGA Extension agent, explained that to get rid of these animals, you have to get into their heads by asking, why is this critter here and not somewhere else?
"They require three essential things for survival: food, water, and shelter. You could unknowingly provide these pestiferous animals with one or more of these basic needs. The challenge is figuring out what is attracting them," Daly said.
Gardens are an excellent food source for animals, so they are harder to protect. Crumbley said deer is his primary garden pest. He installed plastic deer mesh around his garden, about 10 feet high and 40 feet by 50 feet across.
Distracting animals with another food source can also help, like Carol Jenkins' strategy for her garden in McDonough.
"I planted blueberry bushes outside of the retaining wall along the back, and that has kept the deer out of the vegetable garden," said Jenkins, who also surrounds her garden with a plastic mesh fence. "Feral cats have helped keep some other animals out, but rabbits and squirrels still get their share."
Daly said a 9-foot-tall fence is ideal for deer but admitted it might not be practical for most gardeners. Taste repellents sprayed on the plants can provide an unpleasant smell and taste that helps deter deer and other animals. "The main drawback is that these materials break down in sunlight, and rain can wash them off the plants, so repeated applications may be necessary," he said.

Preventing deer from eating valued plants and gardens is one of the
biggest outdoor challenges homeowners face. (Pixabay.com)
Homeowners can also consider using plants that deer do not like as another way to keep them away. Hostas and daylilies not in a fenced yard will certainly get hit by hungry deer. Jenkins said she cut back her annuals to planting only begonias, which the deer do not seem to like.
Squirrels are in a class unto themselves as animal pests. According to Blake Carter, an Effingham County UGA Extension agent, Georgia is currently home to several tree squirrels. The most common is the gray squirrel, followed by the fox squirrel and the southern flying squirrel. Regardless of the species, squirrels tend to leave gardens alone but are a nuisance if they get close to a house, where they can cause damage to wires and siding.

Carter said the best way to discourage squirrels from a house is to keep tree limbs trimmed six to eight feet away from the roof.
"Now, does that mean that if you cut your branches, that will stop the squirrels coming to your house? Negatory. Those things can jump, and they can climb," Carter said. "It doesn't stop the problem, but it hinders them from an easy entrance to your house."
Carter said repellants can offer some help against squirrels. Polybutene is a sticky contact repellent that deters the squirrels from climbing on a building or house side.
Other repellants can alter the taste of food for squirrels to make it unpleasant. Brand name products like Ropel contain a bittering agent, and Miller Hot Sauce, which contains capsaicin, are the most common taste repellents available.
And just as Jenkins tempts deer away from her garden with blueberry bushes, Carter said homeowners could change the habits of squirrels by having an alternative feeding spot away from the house.
Residents call their local extension office seeking advice on unwanted animals every year, and Carter said the list has grown as human development encroaches on wildlife areas.
Carter said his office, located near Savannah, is getting more calls about armadillos. Beavers have become nuisances, too, in recent years.
"They come up through the river to places where a lot of these housing subdivisions are coming up, and they are interning an area that used to be wooded," said Carter.
The University of Georgia Extension Service provides
information on pest control for homeowners at
local county Extension offices and online at https://
extension.uga.edu/publications/.
Suggested resources available on the Extension
website include Circular 985, "Deer-Tolerant
Ornamental Plants," Bulletin 1248, "Resolving
Human-Nuisance Wildlife Conflicts," and Circular
910, "Chipmunk Control."

Georgia Cooking: Pink and green spring salad

Salad Ingredients 12 cups tender lettuces, washed
and spun to dry cup radishes, cut into thin
wedges 8 medium, ripe strawberries,
trimmed and cut into 8 wedges each 1 ripe avocado, diced 1 recipe Pink-Pickled Vidalia onions 1 recipe Quick Candied Pecans 1 recipe green goddess dressing
Pink-Pickled Vidalia Onions Makes 1 quart of pickled onions.
Ingredients red onion, thinly sliced Vidalia onion, thinly sliced 1 cup water 1 cup vinegar tsp peppercorns 1 small jalapeo pepper, sliced into
rings (optional) 1 tsps kosher salt, or tsp table
salt 1 tsps sugar
Directions
Pack sliced onions into heatproof quart container or mason jar.
Place water, vinegar, salt, sugar, peppercorns, and sliced jalapeo

in a pot. Bring just to a boil, and turn off the heat, stirring to dissolve sugar and salt. Pour mixture over onions. Let cool completely at room temperature with the lid off, about 1 hour, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 more hour before using.
Quick Candied Pecans (or other nuts/seeds)
Ingredients cup chopped pecans, almonds,
or walnuts, or whole cashews or pumpkin seeds, preferably toasted 2 Tbsps sugar Pinch salt A few drops of neutral oil, such as canola
Directions Place sugar and salt in a dry skillet over medium heat and shake to distribute evenly across the pan. Let sugar melt. Once all of the granules are melted and sugar has turned a light golden caramel, add nuts and a few drops of oil and stir. They will stick together in clusters but you will be able to break them apart later. Turn nuts onto a parchment lined metal pan and let cool completely. Placing the pan of nuts briefly in

the freezer will accomplish this quickly. Once they are completely cool, break them apart with your hands. Store up to 2 weeks at room temperature in an airtight container.
Green Goddess Dressing Yield: Makes 2 cups.
Ingredients Use roughly of a cup of a combination of fresh, soft herbs for this recipe, using whatever you have available. Chop up the tender stems of basil, parsley and cilantro for more flavor and less waste. Below is a suggested mixture, but a mixture of three of these will work just as well. 1 Tbsp roughly chopped dill 1 Tbsp roughly chopped chives 1 Tbsp roughly chopped mint 3 Tbsps roughly chopped parsley 2 Tbsps roughly chopped cilantro cup roughly chopped basil cup mayonnaise cup sour cream or Greek yogurt 2-3 Tbsps olive oil 2 Tbsps fresh lemon juice 1 clove garlic, grated 2 oil-packed anchovy filets,
chopped, or 1 teaspoon fish sauce Salt and pepper

Directions Place all ingredients except salt and pepper in blender, adding a tablespoon or two of water to assist blending if necessary. Blend until smooth and only a few flecks of green remain, scraping down the sides of the blender jar as needed. If too thick, thin out with water to desired consistency. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
After dressing salads, reserve remainder for another use. Can be used as a dipping sauce, sandwich spread, or spooned over fried eggs on avocado toast. Remaining herbs can be used for more green goddess dressing if you are so inclined, made into another sauce such as pesto, chimichurri, or salsa verde, blended with mayo, garlic, and lemon for an aioli, tossed into a frittata or omelet, or used to garnish this salad as well as many other hot and cold dishes.
To assemble salad
Place 3 cups of tender lettuces in each salad bowl. Top each salad with equal parts radishes, strawberries, candied nuts,

Market Watch: Atlanta Market co-op aims to re-educate consumers about food

By Jay Jones jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
FOREST PARK With a name like Eat Right Atlanta, customers know what they are getting into when they buy produce from the food co-op based at the Atlanta State Farmers Market.
Nicole Folkes-Johnson, who started the business in 2011 with her husband, Donsha Johnson, explained that their work has evolved beyond selling produce boxes at pop-up markets and through home delivery. It's a lifestyle change for their customers.
"We do a lot of education. In doing this, we learned that many people do not know how to cook their food anymore because it is so easy to get something in a package or it's easy to get something delivered," she said. "Yes, it's fast, it's quick, but it's not what your body can use. What we are doing is encouraging people to get back into their kitchen."
Eat Right Atlanta delivers fresh fruit and vegetables to homes across the Atlanta area, sourcing their produce from Atlanta Farmers Market and local farmers. The choices available for order on their website vary in size and variety. A family can select a large box, while an individual can get a "Mini-Me" box.
They also have a "Pick 10" box where customers can choose which five fruits and vegetables. They also sell fruit for smoothies in a "Juicer Bag."
Nicole explained that variety is important, not just to offer different products but to encourage people to eat what they get. She noted that it is different from traditional Communi-
Eat Right Atlanta holds pop-up farmers markets at 43 Atlanta area hospitals that started as an employees' wellness program at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. The markets became more popular at the beginning of the COVID pandemic, when hospital nutritionists then started sending their patients to the market to get healthy food. (Special Photo)

ty Supported Agriculture (CSA) box services, where people don't get much choice.
"Some CSAs would say, `Well, here's the box of the week, and this is what you have to take,' and people would throw half of it out because they didn't like it or just didn't eat it," she said. "I thought that was defeating the purpose if we're giving people food that they were not consuming, so we allow people to take this, not that with our boxes."
Eat Right Atlanta started with one truck and a daycare facility. In 2011, both Nicole, who worked at an advertising agency, and Donsha, who drove a produce delivery truck, lost their jobs during the recession following the 2008 national mortgage crisis. Donsha's company closed, and he found out while out on his route on a Friday. Unable to contact the company about the truck, he drove it home. The following Monday, a daycare called him asking about their delivery of milk and fruit.
"We decided, we had a truck, and we had severance pay, so we said, `Let's fill this order,'" Nicole said. "After that, the lady said we have seven more daycares and asked if we wanted to do it. So, all of a sudden, we had a business!"
They grew the business to offer home delivery of produce baskets in their neighborhood, using social media to advertise. "We thought we could get this food in bulk and share with everybody so that they could get good food for a cheaper price," Nicole said.
A woman working for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta ordered a box and asked Donsha and Nicole to work with them on the hospital's wellness program for their employees. That led to operating the pop-up markets at all CHOA hospitals.
Afterward, other hospitals approached Eat Right Atlanta to operate similar pop-up markets at their locations. Nicole said when the COVID pandemic began, the markets took on more customers.
"At the start of the pandemic, we were in 43 hospitals feeding hospital staff because that was what they brought us in to do, but then it grew into its own thing," she said. "Nutritionists began sending their patients down to us. It was eye-opening to see a lot of these illnesses, like a 7-year-old with hypertension or a 12-year-old with diabetes, and how we could help them with good, healthy food."
Since then, they have added Wellness Bags for sick customers on a special health-related diet that includes selections of organically grown fruit and vegetables and "Clean 15" vegetables that are not organically certified but grown with fewer inputs.
They also have donation boxes. The "Food2Fight" box is delivered to women affected by cancer "to have one less thing to worry about, eating healthy," Nicole said. The other donation box is designed to help feed families in need.
Nicole said when they started, they never intended to sell produce for the long-term, but that is how it worked out for

Donsha Johnson and Nicole Folkes-Johnson started Eat Right
Atlanta vegetable and fruit cooperative in 2011 and are based out
of the Atlanta State Farmers Market. They began with one truck
and a daycare and expanded their business to service Atlanta area
hospitals with pop-up markets and home delivery of produce that
serves 350-500 families per week. Nicole said the business's mission
is to get good food to people and back in the kitchen for a good price.

them. What started as just the two of them and a box truck has grown to 13 employees supplying home delivery and pop-up markets. They recently started a new service for offices called Eat Right at the Office, meant to replace vending machines.
Nicole explained that for her previous work in advertising, it was her job to convince people to buy a product whether they needed it or not. With Eat Right Atlanta, the dynamics changed for her.
"I didn't necessarily feel good about it," Nicole said. "But with this, when I talk to people about what we are doing, I know we're doing the right thing. We're helping people every day."

Larry For The Country: Books to read

By Larry Walker
lwalker@whgmlaw.com
Mother said that the first word I ever uttered was "read." I would get the Atlanta Journal, point at the funny papers (cartoons), and say to Daddy, "read, read." And read he would, with me sitting in his lap. It was the start of a lifelong love of books and reading. It is as if I never have enough time to do all the reading I want. Also, my eyes don't last as long as they used to. Presently, I am reading Watergate: A New History, by Garrett M. Graff. This book is 679 pages of fine print and is loaded with footnotes. I'm on page 401, having read every word to this point, and every footnote. The book is excellent, and probably would be in my Top 20 books read in a lifetime of reading. I read All The King's Men, Robert Penn Warren's Pulitzer Prize winner, when I was working at Texas Steel Company in Fort Worth, Texas, in the summer of 1963. It's fiction but based on the life of former Louisiana Gov. Huey Long. This book was first copyrighted in 1946. I read it, again, every word of it, finishing it on Dec. 15, 2017. In about 15 years, if I'm still around, I'll read it again! Check me out and see if I

kept my word. I've read at least eight of Pat Conroy's books. All were
good, but my two favorites were The Prince of Tides, which I finished on Aug. 2, 1987 (I started the book during the 1987 General Assembly session and finished it during a fishing trip to Alaska, July 30-Aug. 2, 1987) and My Losing Season. Like Conroy, who played basketball at the Citadel, I was on a losing basketball team as its point guard and playing for Coach Eric Staples who had only one losing team, mine, in 32 years of coaching at Perry High School. I could relate to Conroy's experience at the Citadel.
Like Conroy's eight, I believe I have read at least eight of Rick Bragg's books. They are all excellent. Let me recommend three: Where I Came From, which I finished on Dec. 25, 2020, with my grade of a 9.5 on my 10 scale; My Southern Journey, finished on Jan. 2, 2022, with a 9.85; and Jerry Lee Lewis, His Own Story, which I finished on Nov. 8, 2014. I wrote in the front of the book, these words: "awesome and amazing...so bizarre it seems to be fiction...one of the most interesting books I have ever read." Note: I have not even mentioned his best and best-known book, All Over But The Shoutin.' You'd love all four of these books. Then there are David McCullough's books, John Adams and Truman. And Robert Caro's books on Lyndon Johnson, The Path To Power, Master of the Senate, and The Passage of Power. These

Caro books total over 2,000 pages of fascinating reading! I finished Master of the Senate on Dec. 28, 2002, and wrote "...what a complicated, flawed and talented man!"
And, what about that great southern (Mississippi) author, Willie Morris, now deceased. Try North Toward Home and My Dog Skip. If you like Southern authors and just Southern stuff, you'll want to read all of Morris' books.
Empire of the Summer Moon by S.C. Gwyne. The Dallas Morning News called it a skillfully told brutally truthful history, and I wrote in this book, "...an excellent, excellent, book...a must read for anyone who is interested in the formation of our country...read it, and you will gain additional respect for the American Indians, especially the Comanches."
I've got to stop, and I haven't even mentioned any of the 30 or so excellent John Grisham books; Founding Brothers by Joseph J. Ellis; Grant by Ron Chernow; To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, with sales of 40 million, to date, which tops Gone With The Wind's 25 million; or any of the excellent books by Jimmy Carter, Zell Miller, or Lewis Grizzard.
Then there is my book, Tales From Georgia's Gnat Line, of which Gary Black writes: "Tales From Georgia's Gnat Line is right on time for this generation. Wisdom and humor from this gifted Georgia statesman leap off each page."
Like I told Daddy, "Read, read, read!"

Mercer Medical Moment: Count the kicks to decrease stillbirths

By Merritt Daniels McGowan
Third-Year MD Student
Mercer University School of
Medicine, Savannah Campus
It's 2022 in the United States, and the field of medicine continues to grow in healthcare research, interventions, and access. However, despite these continual advancements the United States is suffering from an ongoing silent epidemic: stillbirth. This includes the state of Georgia where an average of 1,041 babies are lost per year to stillbirth. What is a stillbirth? A stillbirth is the birth of a baby who has died any time from 20 weeks through the end of the pregnancy. The baby may have died during the pregnancy or, less commonly, during the birth. The most common cause of stillbirth includes placental issues, umbilical cord accidents, infections, and genetic or anatomic abnormalities. Is a stillbirth the same as a miscarriage? A stillbirth is different from a miscarriage. A miscarriage occurs when a pregnancy ends before 20 weeks of pregnancy. What are the risk factors? Stillbirth can happen in any family. However, some women are more at risk of having a stillbirth. Knowing the risk factors can help reduce the risk of stillbirth and may prevent a stillbirth from happening. Some risk factors can't be changed, such as age or having a previous pregnancy loss. Some risk factors can be changed, like quitting smoking. It is important for women to discuss their health history

with their doctor to determine if they fall into the high-risk category. It is especially important for women with risk factors to attend all prenatal care appointments and monitor baby's movements, or "count the kicks," starting in the third trimester. What does it mean to count the kicks?
The link between fetal movement and a healthy baby is clear, but research continues to uncover more about the importance of tracking baby's movements. Counting kicks is a simple way to monitor baby's well-being. Paying attention to fetal activity helps expectant parents notice changes in what is normal movement for their baby. How to count the kicks?
There are many ways to count baby's movements. The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that mom time how long it takes her to feel 10 kicks, flutters, swishes, or rolls. Ideally, mom would want to feel at least 10 movements within 2 hours. However, it is more than likely mom would feel 10 movements in less time than that. Start: Begin counting baby's kicks in the third trimes-
ter (27 weeks of gestation) Time: Start a timer and record the time it takes to feel
10 movements Count: Pick a time during the day when baby is usually
active to start counting, preferably the same time every day Pattern: After each counting session, compare that time with past sessions Contact: Contact healthcare provider if there are any major changes in the amount of time it takes to get to 10 movements

There's an app for that!
The "Count the Kicks" app is an easy, free, reliable way for expectant parents to monitor their baby's well-being in the third trimester in addition to regular prenatal visits. After a few sessions on the app, users will start to notice an average amount of time it takes baby to get to 10 movements. The app is available for download in the Apple Store and on Google Play. What are the possible warning signs?
If there is a big change in the strength of baby's movements or the time it takes baby to get to 10 movements, moms should call their healthcare provider right away. A doctor should also be contacted right away if mom: Thinks baby has stopped moving or is moving differently
or less than usual. Has strong pain or cramping in her abdomen or back. Gets a hard knock or blow to her abdomen. Is bleeding or leaking more discharge than normal from
the vagina. Feels dizzy, experiences changes in vision, or has severe or
long-lasting headaches. Has sudden swelling in the face, feet, or hands, or has pain-
ful swelling in the legs. Has severe or ongoing nausea and vomiting that affects eat-
ing or drinking. Has a fever or chills. Senses that something doesn't feel right.
If the doctor cannot be reached, mom should go to the nearest hospital for medical assistance. Learn more!

ing in a Vidalia onion. Since their discovery in the 1930s, Vidalia
onions have continued to grow in popularity, earning a trademarked name by Georgia state legislature in 1986 with the Vidalia Onion Act. In 1989, the U.S. Department of Agriculture issued federal protection of Vidalia onions, organizing the VOC to support marketing and research initiatives. As of 1992, the state of Georgia was deemed the official owner of the Vidalia onion trademark.
"In the 2022 season, approximately 10,000 acres of Vidalia onions were planted by 60 registered farmers across 20 southeastern Georgia counties," Riner said. "Representing about 40 percent of the sweet onion market across America, Vidalia onions are sold in all 50 states and most of Canada."
For more information on Vidalia onions,

please visit VidaliaOnion.org and follow the season's news on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and YouTube.
About the Vidalia Onion Committee Because Vidalia onions are sweetly
unique, farmers united to seek legal protection for their crop and its name. Federal Marketing Order No. 955 was established in 1989, to stipulate where the crop can be grown and help with research and promotion of Vidalia onions. The Vidalia Onion

Committee administers FMO No. 955 and authorizes production research, marketing research and development and marketing promotion programs. This federal program along with Georgia state laws that protect the Vidalia trademark have provided a legal framework for the industry. So, you can try to grow a sweet onion elsewhere, but you cannot call it a "Vidalia," unless it is from Georgia! For more information, visit VidaliaOnion.org.

Georgie's Drive Thru Columbus
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our No. 1 industry, agriculture! Georgia grows more peanuts than just about everybody else put together. About 100 years ago, that fact prompted a man named Tom Huston to move from Henderson, Texas, to Columbus. He contracted with Columbus Iron Works to manufacture a peanut shelling machine he'd invented in his teenage years. He then decided to get into the snack food business. He bought peanuts from local farms, and then shelled, toasted, and bagged them in bulk, which was a novel idea at the time. His first test run in Columbus sold out before the route driver could make it back to the plant! By 1928 just four years into this new venture the company sold more than $1 million worth of toasted peanuts. Mr. Huston developed a friendship with a professor at the Tuskegee Institute named George Washington Carver, who was working on new ways to use and preserve peanuts. Things were going so well that he offered Carver a job in his company, but Carver declined. Unfortunately, Mr. Huston fell on hard times during the Great Depression and the bank took ownership of his snack food company. Huston's legacy lives on today in the Tom's Snacks Co. based in San Antonio, Texas.

Tom's Roasted Peanuts were produced here in the early 20th century, selling for a nickel a bag. (Lee Lancaster/GDA)

Commercial, domestic poultry growers urged to remain vigilant for AI

From Market Bulletin staff reports
Since Feb. 8, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has reported outbreaks of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza in 25 states affecting more than 22 million commercial and domestic chickens, turkeys, and other birds.
Although there have been no cases of avian influenza identified in commercial or domestic poultry in Georgia, the Georgia Department of Agriculture has suspended all poultry exhibitions, shows, sales, swaps, and meets in the state until further notice. This order does not apply to sales between individuals.
Avian influenza is a viral disease of poultry. It can be of low pathogenicity (LPAI), causing mild disease, or of high pathogenicity (HPAI), causing severe disease and death. There are different strains of the virus, for example H1N1 or H7N3. Some AI LPAI viruses can mutate and become HPAI viruses. Waterfowl contribute to the spread of avian influenza.

The Georgia Poultry Federation prepared the following checklist for commercial poultry growers to ensure their flocks are protected from Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza, a disease carried by wild birds that is fatal to domestic birds. Although targeted to commercial interests, the information can easily be adapted for use by keepers of backyard flocks.
If you suspect your birds have avian influenza, call Georgia's AI Hotline at 770.766.6850. Testing is free through the gapoultrylab.org/avian-influenza-hotline/. For more information regarding Avian Influenza, visit the Georgia Department of Agriculture

online at https://agr.georgia.gov/avian-influenza.aspx. Are you ALL IN with biosecurity on your
farm?
How many of these questions can you answer "YES" to? q Do you prohibit ALL non-essential visi-
tors on your farm? q Do you make sure ALL equipment used
on your farm is cleaned and disinfected before use every single time? q Do you have a biosecurity entry procedure, such as dedicated footwear or disinfectant foot bath, that you and your workers use to enter your poultry house which separates the outside (dirty) from the inside (clean)? Is this procedure followed EVERY time you or your workers enter the poultry house? q Do you have a sign-in log for ALL essential visitors coming to your farm (repairmen, serviceman)? q Have you told your workers and family that they can't have ANY contact with

other chickens or wild birds when they are away from your farm? q Do you ALWAYS use hand sanitizer (or wash your hands or wear gloves) before and after you go inside your chicken houses? q Do you ALWAYS dispose of all dead birds in a timely and approved manner? q Do you know how to recognize the signs of bird flu? q Do you report any abnormal mortality promptly to your company's service personnel? q Do you have an insect and rodent control program in place that is ALWAYS maintained properly? q Do you prevent wild birds from EVER entering your poultry house? q Do you keep ALL things off of your farm that could attract wild birds (feed spills, bird houses etc.)? q Do you use water from a well or utility in your poultry house or cool cell instead of pond water?

Georgia Hall of Fame inducts Massey, McCall at annual banquet

By Maria M. Lameiras
University of Georgia
A pioneer in poultry and a producer who has been a strong advocate in agricultural policy were inducted into the Georgia Agricultural Hall of Fame on April 9 during the 66th University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Alumni Association Awards in Athens.
The inductees are the late J. Henry Massey, who earned both bachelor's and master's degrees in poultry science at CAES, a steadfast leader in the poultry science industry in Georgia, and Georgia Farm Bureau President and third-generation farmer Tom McCall, a 1980 animal science CAES alumnus.
Established in 1972, the Georgia Agricultural Hall of Fame honors individuals making unusual and extraordinary contributions to agriculture and agribusiness industries in the state.
Inductees are nominated by members of the public and selected by the awards committee of the UGA CAES Alumni Association. Those nominated must be of impeccable character, have outstanding leadership skills, have made noteworthy contributions to Georgia's agricultural landscape and been recognized for achievements in agriculture as well as other areas.
J. Henry Massey Known nationally as a leader in the poultry science indus-
try, Massey spent 26 years with UGA Cooperative Extension, starting as a specialist and ultimately serving as head of North District and Extension Poultry Science. Throughout his career, Massey developed applied-research and educational programs for his constituents, finding practical, research-based solutions for the state's poultry producers, and many credit his leadership during the 1950s and 1960s with facilitating the success of what is now Georgia's No. 1 agricultural commodity.
In nomination materials for the honor, Louis Boyd, a 2013 inductee to the Hall of Fame, said, "Before I was thrilled to move to Georgia more than 40 years ago, Henry Massey was well-known in the USA as Mr. Poultry Science of the South. He indeed deserves to be in the Georgia Agricultural Hall of Fame."

J. Henry Massey, at left, and Tom McCall are the 2022 inductees to
the Georgia Agricultural Hall of Fame.
A U.S. Marine Corps veteran, Massey earned the Okinawa Battle Star during World War II, then spent 33 years in the Marine Reserves, serving as president of the Georgia Reserve Officers Association and on the Resolutions Committee of the National Reserve Officers Association. He was a recipient of the Brigade Volunteer Award, only the fourth Georgian to ever receive the recognition.
Massey served on the Governor's Committee on Georgia Agriculture and the Advisory Council for Vocational Education in Georgia. After his passing in June 1995, both the Georgia Senate and House of Representatives recognized Massey's outstanding accomplishments with separate resolutions commending him for his service to Georgia agriculture and the state.
Massey's dedication to agriculture began at CAES, where he served as president of the Ag Hill Council and was elected to the prestigious AGHON Society. He was an active member of the CAES Alumni Association, serving as its president in 19821983 and receiving the Distinguished Service Award in 1984.
Massey was a member of the committee that saved the old UGA Dairy Barn from demolition, raising funds to renovate it into the Four Towers Building, which now houses the CAES Alumni Association, the Georgia Agricultural Hall of Fame, the CAES Department of Agricultural Leadership, Educa-

tion and Communication, and the UGA Visitors Center. UGA named the Henry Massey Pavilion at the Poultry Research Center in his honor, recognizing his contributions to the poultry industry, the university and its students and Georgia 4-H.
Tom McCall
McCall, who owns and operates a grain and livestock farm in Elberton, served in the Georgia House of Representatives from 1995 through 2020, representing House District 33. During his tenure, he served on the Natural Resources and Environment; Transportation; and Game, Fish and Parks committees, and he chaired the House Agriculture and Consumer Affairs Committee from 2005 until 2020.
He was the author of important legislation in 2009 and 2019 that protected producers' rights to farm and operate agritourism businesses.
Hailed as "one of Georgia agriculture's most modest and influential stewards" in his nomination to the Georgia Agriculture Hall of Fame, McCall was instrumental in legislation pertaining to agriculture that passed the Georgia General Assembly during his 25-year tenure.
His roots in Georgia agriculture are strong, having served as Georgia Farm Bureau Young Farmer Chairman in 1982, as president of the Elbert County Farm Bureau, a member Farm Service Agency's Elbert County committee, as a state board member for the Georgia Farm Bureau from 1984 through 1996, and as a Soil Conservation District supervisor.
A former 4-H'er and ardent supporter of Georgia 4-H, McCall received the 2016 Georgia 4-H Green Jacket Award, one of the organization's highest honors, and a National Honorary American Degree by FFA in 2005.
He is an active member and volunteer with the Friends Helping Friends Club, a nonprofit service organization dedicated to providing inclusive educational opportunities to special-needs students in Elbert County at no cost to the school system or the students served. The organization was formed by his daughter, Katie McCall Archer, in honor of his late son, Bud McCall.

versity of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental
Sciences.

rieties to plant. He planted some Lakota this year to go along with McMillan and Elliott trees.
"Some varieties supposedly require lower amounts of inputs than others, so we were careful in what varieties we planted to try to minimize things like scab or need for inputs to treat various things," McEachin said.
To market Georgia pecans, the Georgia Pecan Commission presented an update of its ongoing consumer-focused marketing campaign, #ChooseGeorgiaPecans, to bring attention to pecans as a healthy and nutritious snack nut.
RG Lamar, chairman of the Georgia Pecan Commission, highlighted the top pecan nutrition research projects funded by the commission, including results of a study last year by the University of Georgia College of Family and Consumer Sciences showing that pecans can dramatically improve a person's cholesterol levels.
Lamar touted another study by UGA researcher Ronald Pegg that looks at the antioxidant effects on a cellular level from consuming pecans.
However, despite those studies, consumer awareness of the health benefits of pecans remains low. Lamar explained the commission's annual consumer survey results showed that consumers believe almonds have a higher nutritional value.
"Everybody in this room knows higher

antioxidants value is true of pecans and not almonds, but consumers don't know that. Consumers say almonds are better, so we've got work to do," Lamar said.
The consumer survey showed that pecans remain popular as a snack, and Lamar said the deciding factor is flavor and taste.
"Everybody thinks pecans taste better, so our battleground is down here on antioxidants and heart-healthy perception," Lamar said. "If we can win the consumers on that, I think we will have a lot more people consuming pecans."
Robert Redding of the Redding Firm in Washington, D.C., reported to growers on upcoming trends they should watch for at the national level.
As Congress began committee hearings for the 2023 Farm Bill in March, Redding said there were early conversations over whether to make the Farm Bill permanent law rather than new legislation created every five years. Redding explained the main driver of the conversation was population shifts in the country, reflecting a decline of rural representation in Congress.
"Right now, it's hard, and every state is experiencing the same thing of people further and further by generation moving away from farms and ranches," Redding said.
Another Washington trend Redding noted was the possibility of creating a permanent agriculture disaster relief program. Redding

said the idea received attention because of the federal government's delayed response to producers affected by Hurricane Michael in 2018.
Redding said pecan imports to China should continue despite recent U.S. trade policy trends. He added that the National Pecan Federation is working with federal trade representatives to find ways to open India to U.S. pecans. Redding said India could be receptive to pecans, but restrictive tariffs by the Indian

government keep that market closed. For more information on business and cul-

The Georgia Pecan Commission is funded through a grower-approved assessment of crops to support pecans' cultivation and nutrition research and marketing. For more information, go to https://georgiapecans.org/.
