UGA Ag Forecast seminars set for new yearBy Merritt Melancon

The Georgia Ag Forecast seminar series will be held Jan. 30 through Feb. 7 at six sites across the state. University of Georgia agricultural economists will present insights into the latest market and regulatory conditions for the state’s largest industry – agriculture.

Hosted by the UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, the 2018 seminar series will be held in Athens, Bainbridge, Cart-ersville, Lyons, Macon and Tifton. Registration for the series is now open at georgiaagforecast.com.

More than 1,000 producers, agribusiness representatives and community leaders attend-ed the seminars in 2017.

“The main objective of the Ag Forecast sem-inar series is to provide Georgia’s producers and agribusiness leaders with information on where we think the industry is headed in the upcom-ing year,” said Kent Wolfe, director of the UGA Center for Agribusiness and Economic Devel-opment. “It helps producers plan for the next year, but it’s also good for bankers and others who have businesses involved in agriculture or who will be impacted by the farm economy.”

Economists from the center and from the college’s department of agricultural and applied economics will deliver the economic outlook, which will focus on Georgia’s major commodi-ties and the way that global markets, weather patterns and historical trends will affect them.

In addition to the economic outlook for 2018, attendees in Bainbridge, Lyons, Macon and Tifton will hear from Bob Redding of the Redding Firm in Washington, D.C. Redding will discuss major themes that may be ad-dressed in the 2018 farm bill and moderate a discussion on the bill.

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service began mailing the 2017 Census of Agriculture to the nation’s producers in late November. Conducted once every five years, the census aims to get a complete and accurate picture of American agricul-ture. The resulting data is used by farmers, ranchers, trade as-sociations, researchers, policymakers and many others to help make decisions in community planning, farm assistance pro-grams, technology development, farm advocacy, agribusiness setup, rural development and more.

“The Census of Agriculture is USDA’s largest data collec-tion endeavor, providing some of the most widely used statis-tics in the industry,” said U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue. “Collected in service to American agriculture since 1840, the census gives every producer the opportunity to be represented so that informed decisions can support their ef-forts to provide the world with food, fuel, feed and fiber. Every response matters.”

The census will be mailed in several phases through De-

cember. Farm operations of all sizes which produced and sold – or normally would have sold – $1,000 or more of agricul-tural product in 2017 are included in the census. The censusis the only source of uniform, comprehensive and impartialagriculture data for every state and county in the nation.

NASS revised the census forms in an attempt to document changes and emerging trends in the industry. Changes include a new question about military veteran status, expanded ques-tions about food marketing practices, and questions about on-farm decision-making to help better capture the roles and con-

tributions of beginning farmers, women farmers, and others involved in running a farm enterprise.

“Producers can respond to the census online or by mail. We highly recommend the updated online questionnaire. We heard what people wanted, and we made responding to the census easier than ever,” said NASS Administrator Hubert Hamer. “The online questionnaire now has timesaving fea-tures, such as automatic calculations, and the convenience of being accessible on mobile and desktop devices.”

The census response deadline is Feb. 5, 2018. Responding to the Census of Agriculture is required by law under Title 7 USC 2204(g) Public Law 105-113. The same law requires NASS to keep all information confidential, to use the data only for statistical purposes, and only publish in aggregate form to prevent disclosing the identity of any individual producer or farm operation. NASS will release the results of the census in February 2019.

Cook GeorGia Grown:Black-Eyed Pea Salad

Field notes:A woman’s workBy Amy Carter

Agriculture touches every aspect of our lives, some-times in the most unexpected ways. Like the day a story for the Market Bulletin took Kendall McWilliams and me to the front door of the Governor’s Mansion, where we spent a nervous minute debating whether we should knock, ring the bell or just walk right in. We were ex-pected, after all, and even passed muster with the State Trooper at the gate.

We were there to see the Georgia-grown Christmas tree featured in Kendall’s story on Page 16. It’s a fun, feel-good story about Georgia school children helping to decorate that tree with handmade ornaments spotlighting their home counties. The idea took shape during a con-versation with our co-worker, Erin Burnett, whose nine-year-old sister, Mia, submitted an ornament on behalf of Mitchell County.

In the process of gathering facts for the story, Ken-dall was offered an interview with First Lady Sandra Deal. Suddenly, this fun little feel-good story became a rare and important opportunity with an accomplished and gracious woman. From the moment we walked in – after ringing the doorbell – until our departure nearlytwo hours later, Mrs. Deal treated us like we were dearfriends just popping by for a visit.

I’m not ashamed to tell you that when Kendall and I left the Governor’s Mansion, we were walking on air. As I said earlier, this business of telling the story of Geor-gia agriculture takes us to surprising places sometimes. It also introduces us to people we never dreamed we’d meet face-to-face.

I can only hope such opportunities will keep our awe-some team of talented young women – Kendall, Erin and Leslie Davis – interested in making their careers in this industry. The USDA’s most recent Census of Agricul-ture, compiled in 2012, counted more than three million farmers in America. Fewer than one million of them were women. I have scoured the internet looking for statistics regarding women like us who work in related roles supporting those farmers. If those numbers exist, they are not easy to find.

However, if I make inferences based on the amount of correspondence we receive addressed to “Gentlemen” and “Dear Sirs,” we are an anomaly in the industry, if not actually then perceptually. We persevere regardless, and it is an appreciation for the importance of the work and the men and women who do it that drives us.

Kendall, who graduated earlier this year from the

University of Georgia’s College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences with a BSA in Agricultural Communication, initially considered majoring in busi-ness, pre-pharmacy or social studies education. She was moved to return to her roots after hearing classmates with no direct knowledge of agriculture propagate mis-conceptions about it.

“Agriculture is an integral part of my life and up-bringing,” she said. “I grew up rip-romping through pas-tures, riding in the cab of the tractor with my Daddy, and bottle-feeding calves when their mothers couldn’t sustain them. I know, from experience, the beauty of ag-riculture because I’ve lived it. I was just a farm kid who was afforded the opportunity to receive an education from one of the best public universities in the country, and I figured the least I could do was get a degree in something I’m passionate about.

“Farmers don’t yell from the rooftops about the im-portance of agriculture; it takes a field of communicators to preserve the reputation of this wonderful industry. In my career, I hope to promote the growth of the agricul-ture industry. I want to provide people with the insight and the information that will allow them to make edu-cated decisions about their food. I want to give my all for an industry that has given so much to me, an industry that even helped me pay for that college degree. (Thanks Dad!)”

I’d say the future of agriculture is in good hands, wouldn’t you?

The Georgia Department of Agriculture admin-isters the rules and regulations related to animal feed through its Feed Program, housed under the Agricultural Inputs Section of the Plant Industry Division. This program is responsible for the licens-ing of feed manufacturers and consumer protec-tion related to animal feed. Consumer protection is achieved through product sampling and four types of inspections: BSE, MFI, cGMP and VFD. Each type of inspection has specific rules and regulations, including:

• BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy or“Mad Cow Disease”) is a type of transmis-sible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) thataffects cattle. TSEs are progressive and fatalneurodegenerative diseases. There are mul-tiple TSEs which affect different species ofanimals including scrapie in sheep and chron-ic wasting disease (CWD) in deer. BSE in-spections focus on determining if prohibitedmaterials, such as meat-and-bone meal, arepresent, commingled, or have the potential tobe commingled with ruminant feed. Regula-tions from the FDA under Rule 40-5-1-.02have prohibited the inclusion of mammalianprotein in feed for cattle and other ruminantsand have also prohibited high-risk tissuematerials in all animal feed. BSE presents apublic health concern because occurrences ofvariant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) inhumans have been linked to the consumptionof food containing ingredients derived fromBSE-infected cattle.

• MFI (Medicated Feed Mill Inspection) is atype of inspection conducted at feed millsmanufacturing medicated animal feed. Thesefacilities are required to obtain a license withthe FDA. These licensed facilities are allowedto manufacture animal feeds from CategoryII, Type A medicated articles. The medicatedfeed mill licensee certifies that animal feedsbearing or containing animal drugs are manu-factured and labeled in accordance with theapplicable regulations and they will establishand maintain all records required. Medicatedanimal feeds are important tools for animalproducers, but the feeds must be used correct-ly to ensure the safety of food produced by the

animals. MFIs confirm that the added drugs have not reached their expiration date and that they are added at the correct dosage to feed. MFIs also confirm that feed is adequately la-beled.

• cGMP refers to the Current Good Manufac-turing Practice regulations enforced by theFDA. The cGMPs provide baseline safety andsanitation standards for the manufacturing,processing, packing, and holding of animalfood. These cGMPs address general animalfood safety and sanitation concerns and serveas a foundation for preventive controls. ThecGMP inspections help facilities determinewhether they comply with the cGMPs in Rule40-5-1-.02 and provide additional informa-tion for compliance.

• VFD (Veterinary Feed Directive) is a rule out-lining the process for authorizing the use ofVFD drugs. Over the past several years, stepshave been taken toward change in how medi-cally important antibiotics can be legally usedin feed or water for food-producing animals.The VFD inspection is comprised of a recordreview of VFD orders on file. A VFD order isa written statement issued by a licensed veter-inarian that authorizes the use of a VFD drugor combination VFD drug in or on an animalfeed. The written statement authorizes theclient to obtain and use animal feed bearingor containing the VFD drug or combinationVFD drug to treat a specific set of the client’sanimals.

The Feed Program also provides information for pet owners on what is inside your pet’s food, how to safely handle your pet’s food, and who to call if your pet is sick or if you have a pet food complaint.

Georgie’s Drive through Santa Claus, Georgia

Hello! I’m Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state promoting Georgia agriculture. In early November, I was headed to Lyons Upper Elemen-tary for a Feed My School event and went through a town just south of Lyons on U.S. 1 called Santa Claus! I turned down Noel Street and found the city hall at 25 December Drive. I went inside and met Mrs. Sue, the town secretary. She told me that Santa Claus was incorporated in 1941 and people from all over Georgia bring her their Christmas cards each year to be stamped with the Santa Claus postmark. The streets in town are all named with Christmas themes, like Dasher, Dancer, Rudolph, Rein-deer and Salem. The biggest business in town is a tractor dealership. So if you buy a tractor down there and your neighbor asks where it came from, you can say, “I got it from Santa Claus!” Before I left, Mrs. Sue invited my whole family to the annual Christmas tree lighting in town on the Thursday after Thanksgiving. After the school event that day, I rushed home and told my wife about us being invited to the tree lighting. She asked me if such a place really exists and I replied, “Yes, Georgina, there is a Santa Claus!”

A simple glass ornament adorned with blue, yellow and red ribbon hangs from a branch on a beautiful Fraser fir in the ball-room of the Georgia Governor’s Mansion. Jayden Bright, a child from Haralson County, submitted this ornament to First Lady Sandra Deal and her staff in hopes of bringing atten-tion to autism, a disorder he has lived with from an early age.

Mrs. Deal is tasked with choosing the man-sion’s theme of décor each Christmas. Last January, Mrs. Deal and her staff started gen-erating ideas for this year’s theme – Celebrat-ing Georgia’s Courthouses: Wisdom, Justice and Moderation – and planning an elaborate display of firs and spruces to fill the rooms of the executive residence. As a former educa-tor, Mrs. Deal has vowed to utilize this annual opportunity to educate visitors to the mansion each holiday season. Each year, she dedicates a tree to the children of the state.

Jayden’s ornament hangs on this tree alongside ornaments submitted by children from all 159 counties of the state. The spe-cial invitation to submit allowed children throughout the state to showcase their creativ-ity, capture the spirit of home, and highlight issues near and dear to their hearts.

“(Jayden) is a very sweet boy diagnosed with autism at a very young age,” Sandi Couch of the Haralson County Board of Commissioners wrote to the mansion staff. “He and his family were so excited and hum-bled that you all would dedicate a tree to the children of the state.”

The towering Fraser fir was donated by Weatherby Farms in Marietta.

“Tanya Weatherby has been such a faith-ful friend to the Governor’s Mansion,” said Mansion Director Joy Forth. “Next year will be her 25th year donating a Christmas tree to the Mansion. We are so grateful.”

Students from elementary school age to high school se-niors used everything from cardboard paper towel rolls to hand-held 3D printers to cre-ate ornaments of all shapes and sizes. County officials chose the finalists and submitted their selections to the First Lady’s staff earlier this fall. Mrs. Deal explained that because of her background in education, she enjoys giving Georgia children to opportunity to be a part of the annual Christmas display.

“I just think it’s really special to have the children participate,” said Mrs. Deal. “Having been a teacher and a 4-H leader, I love all of this.It’s something they will alwaysremember.”

In addition to Mrs. Deal’s request for hand-crafted orna-ments from Georgia students, she also chose to pay tribute to the beauty of our state’s historic courthouses this holiday sea-son, another vein for her educa-tional expertise.

“We have to come up with a theme ev-ery year, and I figured with so many people that come through, it needs to be educational, not just entertaining,” Mrs. Deal said. “I can’t help but choose something educational.”

Mrs. Deal requested that each county sub-mit an ornament that depicted their county courthouse. Each region of the state is rep-resented by its own tree, and the courthouse ornaments hang alongside other decorative ornaments provided by counties in their re-spective regions.

“Using ornaments from each of the 159 counties in Georgia to decorate the Mansion is a charming way of showing pride in this

great state that we live in,” wrote Houston County Board of Commissioners Chair Tom-my Stalnaker.

In addition to the tribunal ornaments, sev-eral counties are represented in the Gover-nor’s Mansion with papier-mâché models of their courthouses. Each model was specially and intricately made using various crafting materials to bring to life the true beauty Geor-gia’s historic courthouses.

Perhaps more interesting than the replicas themselves are the people who crafted them; incarcerated offenders built each model, and the replicas will be sold at auction for charity. All proceeds from the sale will be gifted to HeartBound ministries, a nonprofit outreach organization that supports programs within

the prison community.From Jayden’s simple glass ornament to

the detailed courthouse models, the pride of the Georgia people from past to present is something that Mansion visitors will relish this Christmas season.

“This (house) belongs to the people. It doesn’t belong to me any more than it belongs to you,” said Mrs. Deal. “I think it’s impor-tant for children to understand that this is ‘The People’s House.’ They can grow up and live here, too.”

From the coastal plains of South Georgia to the northern mountain region, Georgia resi-dents have a little piece of their home repre-sented in “The People’s House” this holiday season.
