The storm’s track took a staggering toll on the state's No. 1 industry, which generates $73.3 billion annually for the economy. Damage estimates as of Oct. 29 total approximately $3 billion. Adding insult to injury is the fact that this year’s cotton crop was so good, many farmers expected it to erase the hardships caused by weather and market forces in recent years. “This was a catch-up year, hopefully, to make a payment we haven’t made in a couple of years,” said State Rep. Clay Pirkle of Sycamore. Now, the best hope farmers have for regaining their financial footing is federal disaster assistance with no strings attached. “Nobody wants to take a payment,” said Whitney Bledsoe, whose family lost more than half of their 1,300-acre cotton crop in Hawkinsville. “We wanted the bumper crop to get ourselves out, and now here we are – stuck.” STUART GRIFFIN, GRIFFIN FARM STATE REP. CLAY PIRKLE, Stuart Griffin raises approximately 2,000 head of cattle on his family farm in Bainbridge. Griffin Farm also grows TURNER COUNTY peanuts and corn on the 6,400-acre operation. One of the biggest obstacles Griffin faces after the storm is replacing Clay Pirkle is a fourth-generation cotton farmer and repairing damaged infrastructure, including pivot in Sycamore. He earned his undergraduate irrigation systems, fences and grain storage facilities. degree in economics at Georgia Tech, and his MBA from the University of Georgia. He was elected to the Georgia House of Representa- tives in 2015, representing all of Ben Hill, Irwin and Turner counties and portions of Tift and Coffee counties.

The very first call I made Thursday morning was to my banker... and I said, ‘I want you to know it’s as bad as it gets. I went from a bumper crop to no crop overnight and there is no way I am going to be able to pay you back for my seed and fertilizer and chemicals, much less any term debt that I have, and I want somebody to feel almost as bad as I do this morning.’ BILL BRIM, LEWIS TAYLOR FARMS Bill Brim is CEO of Lewis Taylor Farms, a family-owned and I don’t know how we’re ever going to -operated vegetable and greenhouse operation founded in the 1930s in Tifton. The farm now grows more than 6,500 come back from this, but farming is acres of produce annually and employs 700 people. Brim was one of several Southwest Georgia farmers who met all I know how to do. All I’ve ever done. with President Donald Trump on Oct. 15 to discuss storm It’s under my fingernails. damages. It’s in my veins. This storm has really just kicked us in the stomach. We lost $31,750,000. GREG MIMS, MIMS FARMS We’re really in a mess. SHEILA RICE, CALHOUN PRODUCE Sheila Rice’s family farm in Ashburn, has evolved from a row-crop operation to a fully diversified agribusiness since her parents founded it in 1982. From the spring strawberry u-pick fields to the fall corn maze, the farm is a year-round draw. Hurricane Michael flattened the corn maze, laying 10-foot stalks on the ground. With 300 elementary school children due for a field trip the Monday morning after the storm, Rice purchased 180 bales of hay and built a hay maze. Power was restored to the farm at 9:20 the morning of the field trip. Kids started arriving at 9:30.

Greg Mims raises cattle and grows corn, cotton, peanuts and soybeans on his family farm in Donalsonville. Chairman of the Georgia Soybean Commission, Greg was selected to meet with President Trump Oct. 15 in Macon. This will be felt for many years to come and it’s going to take some financial assistance. This is serious. “There is no crop insurance for agritourism. You take the loss.” PAGE 8 FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN – 404-656-3722 – agr.georgia.gov WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2018 WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2018 FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN – 404-656-3722 – agr.georgia.gov PAGE 9 PAGE 10 FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN – 404-656-3722 – agr.georgia.gov WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2018 FACING THE STORM GERALD LONG, LONG FARMS MOSS FAMILY FARMS The Moss and Jimmerson families operate a third-generation farm enterprise in Southwest Georgia.

“We’ve got a good many retired farmers, or getting ready to retire, that maybe had 50, 75 or 100 acres of timber out there. That was their 401K. That was their retirement, and it’s not there now. It’s gone.” KEVIN RENTZ, RENTZ FAMILY FARMS BLAKE AND WHITNEY BLEDSOE, LIMESTONE PLANTATION Blake and Whitney Bledsoe stand with their youngest son, Lawson, in a field hit hard by the storm. Their 1,300-acre crop was a 50 percent or more loss. Whitney was selected to meet with President Fourth-generation farmer Kevin Rentz, 35, farms in Decatur Trump in Macon on Oct. 15, and said it County, Georgia, and Jackson County, Florida.

Somewhere in here is a lesson for us to learn and we’re just having we have nothing, so they should zero us out. He said that on just one of my farms to trust in that. Obviously we’re hoping in the federal government but we’re resting in Him, he guarantees that we will get about $400,000 and that was covering like 800 that He’s going to take care of us and provide.

He found it in a cookbook belonging to his mother that included recipes like this one, clipped from the pages of the Market Bulletin. According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, Switchel – or Haymaker’s Punch – was popular with Colonial farmers. The Almanac calls it “Nature’s Gatorade” because most of the ingredients are excellent sources of potassium. It was often consumed by farmers during haying, hence the name. Typically a warm-weather drink, it’s still good for those days when fall and winter forget Georgia exists.

Ingredients: 1 cup brown sugar ¾ cup vinegar 1 tsp. ground ginger 2 qts. water ½ cup sorghum, honey or molasses

Preparation: Mix all ingredients and chill. Serve iced. Some hardy souls add a cup of hard cider to the mixture.

Georgie’s Drive Thru Tennille -Originally submitted to the Market Bulletin by Elaine Brown of Jackson. Date unknown. Hello! I’m Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state promoting agriculture and the Georgia Grown program. Last year during football season, I was traveling from Wrightsville to Tennille and saw a man painting a barn alongside GA Hwy 15. His name was Ross and he was painting the final score from the 2017 Georgia-Florida game. He told me he started painting that barn when he was a student in Athens to express his opinion of the Bulldogs’ coach. The coach got fired after that season, but Ross kept up the tradition of painting that barn. And that barn is pretty famous nowadays. Would you believe it has its own Facebook page? And just the other day, I saw it on ESPN! When Ross told me he’d been painting that barn for 17 years, I said, “Gosh! I figured you’d have been finished by now!”

Georgia Organics presents Golden Radish Awards Oct. 22 Eighty-four of Georgia’s 181 school districts were recognized for farm-to-school excellence at the Fifth Annual Golden Radish Awards at the Georgia Freight Depot in Atlanta. These districts served 109 million school meals made with locally grown food to more than 1.3 million students. They also taught more than 61,000 curriculum-based lessons incorporating food and agriculture. Carrollton City Schools received the Outstanding District Award for establishing a STEM-focused farm-to-school model encompassing school gardening and an after-school culinary club. The district also served food from local farms during school meals.
