It has been a weird mosquito season so far this year. We had a really early spring, which segued right back into winter before warming up again. It has been mostly rainy and humid since, with short periods of just hot. The mosquito onslaught got off to a slow start in a lot of places, but that changed, especially with the floodwater nuisance species. Currently, we are seeing a lot of WNV+ mosquitoes in the four counties doing testing, but there have yet to be any human or horse cases reported. Our first WNV+ mosquito pool was collected in mid-June. So how does this compare to last year, and why? In 2017 we had one human West Nile Virus Georgie’s Drive Thru case reported in April. By the end of July, we had 15 WNV cases reported. The total for the year was 63 (this includes both symptomatic cases and viral positives by blood test). We had one WNV+ horse reported in early June (2017 total was 11), and 105 WNV+ mosquito Greene County pools reported from three counties of the five that were testing (2017 total was 265 pools). In 2017, Hello! I’m Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state promoting Georgia’s the first WNV+ mosquitoes were detected in mid-June. The last WNV+ pools were collected in No. 1 industry, agriculture! Everybody knows the University of Georgia has a bulldog. mid-October. Peaks in numbers of WNV+ pools occurred in July. But did you know they have a horse, too? Up on Georgia Hwy. 15, between Watkinsville So, what was the difference? In 2017, we also had an early spring. We then had a spell of hot and Greensboro, lies the Iron Horse Farm. And on that farm, there is a horse…E-I-E-I-O! dry weather, which kept the mosquitoes in the wooded areas, allowing the virus to build up in the The 12-foot Iron Horse sculpture was built for UGA back in the 1950s by an artist named bird and mosquito populations. In 2017, we did not see the drop back into winter that we expe- Abbott Pattison. The horse was placed in front of one of the new dormitories on campus rienced this year. That cold spell didn’t do much to kill off the mosquitoes, except for a few that named Reed Hall. Boy, it got a lot of attention from students with too much free time on were already out and flying, but it did their hands. They tried feeding it lots of hay one night. When it didn’t eat any, they tried slow everything down. Since WNV is to set it on fire. Some people just don’t appreciate good art.

However, humans do not produce much virus, so we can’t infect mosquitoes. WNV transmission depends on the vector species, Culex quinquefasciatus (and a few others), feeding on non-immune birds and spreading the virus in the bird populations. Culex quinquefasciatus is primarily a bird feeder, but it will bite mammals, so if there are enough infected birds to infect a lot of mosquitoes, the risk to humans and horses goes up. If the cycle in the birds gets an early start due to an early spring season, then the risk to humans goes up. That didn’t happen this year. However, it is not that straight-forward. Weather conditions throughout the season continue to have an impact on transmission of mosquito-borne diseases. So, given the current variable weather conditions, right about now I need a crystal ball to figure out just what is going to happen next.

Barkin, M.S., Ph.D.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were 3,945,875 babies born in the United States in 2017. This means that close to as many women became mothers for the first time or welcomed another child – or children – into their families. Being a mother to an infant is hard, as women are in a position of having to integrate child-care tasks into their already busy lives. In those early months and years of their child’s life, women often juggle multi- ple roles (mother, wife, daughter, employee, friend, community member) and child-care responsibili- ties (doctor’s visits, infant feedings, taking care of other children). Sleep loss, which is common for new mothers, can make this change more difficult and lead to depressed feelings and mood swings. Many women find themselves taking a closer look at how they spend their time after having a child. This is perfectly normal and healthy. However, it is important not to eliminate activities that are fun and relaxing, such as spending time with friends and family, exercising, reading or watching movies. In fact, feeling supported by family and friends is very important in new motherhood. Social Special photo The Georgia 4-H Forestry Team, from left: Morgan Brantley, Hannah Eckerman, Andrew support can help new mothers maintain their emotional balance and avoid getting overwhelmed. Eckerman, Kendall Eberly and Katie Burch (coach). Too drastic a change in daily life can be painful, confusing and may lead to feelings of “loss of self.” So, while it’s true that becoming a mother requires some sacrifice, it is important for new mothers to practice self-care and to be aware of their moods and emotions. Georgia 4-H Forestry Team competes This does not mean that all changes in mood after childbirth are dangerous or will lead to postpar- at national 4-H Forestry Invitational tum depression or anxiety. Most women experience the “baby blues,” which can mean having less patience, crying more often, feeling anxious or irritable, and having trouble concentrating.

Field Day offers farmers a free preview of October Expo MOULTRIE – It’s the end of July in Southwest Georgia. The cotton stands about waist-high to a scientist, its cream and pink flowers shouting down his technical review of crop conditions with more colorful talk of the coming crop. The corn, meanwhile, is still reveling in summer, shooting tassels into a bright blue sky like fireworks on the Fourth of July. Acres of soybeans, peanuts and turfgrass stretch as far as the eye can see, waving in the breeze like green water on a warm Georgia lake. This is what Field Day at the Sunbelt Agricultural Expo looks like. It’s the peak of growing season, the halfway mark to harvest, the time of year when farmers leave their fields to sit a spell and catch up on the latest news in the industry. Field Day is a free annual event that offers growers and agribusiness representatives a sneak peek of the equipment and technology that will be on display at the Sunbelt Ag Expo in October. It’s also an opportunity to hear directly from scientists, researchers and ag extension agents about weed and In the spotlight – UGA extension weed scientist Stanley Photos by Amy Carter/GDA disease pressures on current crops, and the steps they are tak- Culpepper draws the attention of a videographer from WTOC-TV Field talk – Trams stop at 30 different stations on the 600-acre ing to understand and manage the various agents that work to in Savannah while talking about the value of doing “applied Darrell Williams Research Farm on Field Day, where speakers undermine the Georgia farmer’s success. research” at Sunbelt, which is “research that can help the grower cover a range of topics.

The value of Georgia’s turfgrass sector was validated in 2014, when the Georgia General Assembly approved $11.5 million for facility upgrades for statewide turfgrass facilities during the legislative session. This afforded the replacement of outdated facilities on all three UGA campuses. Nearly nine million dollars of the enhancement budget was allocat- ed to building new offices, labs, greenhouses, a headhouse, growth chambers, classrooms and conference rooms at the turf research and education center at UGA’s Griffin Campus, said Waltz. “It’s a state-of-the-art facility that matches the notoriety and historical production of the turf program,” said Waltz. “We want to maintain our academic prowess and hire-in future faculty members to replace those who are retiring, and we have to have the facilities to recruit them and retain Brian Schwartz, Ph.D., turfgrass breeder at UGA Tifton, distributes them.” Kendall McWilliams/GDA marking flags while administering a tour of the UGA Tifton turfgrass The efforts of industry partners to maintain the integrity The DawgBone Turf Plots are used for research trials and testing on research plots after the 72nd Annual Southeastern Turfgrass and reputation of Georgia turfgrass through successful re- UGA’s Tifton Campus.
