Business Management in the
Wild World of Global Economics
Dr. Dave Kohl
By Dr. David M. Kohl
In my travels I frequently mention to
groups that the older I become and the
more I travel, the less I seem to know. The
world is a big place, and it is often difficult
to grasp and “get your arms around” all the
factors that impact business and family
decision making. Let’s take some of the
global challenges and opportunities, and
bring them down to your kitchen table,
iPad, or board room.
Anyone involved in agricultural
decision making needs to keep the
emerging markets, often called the BRICS
nations of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and
South Africa on their radar screen. These
nations have represented 50 percent of
world economic growth since the year
2000, and therefore have contributed to
increased global demand for food, fiber
and fuel. The growth of these nations has
resulted in a “Swiss cheese” agricultural
economy. That is, certain segments and
enterprises that align with these nations’
demands have had growth and have become
“islands of prosperity.” However, others
in the agriculture industry, particularly
segments of the protein sector, have
experienced elevated input costs, margin
compression, or negative margins.
In your decision-making, remember,
the 8-5-3 Rule. If the GDP (gross domestic
product) of the BRICS nations grows
at approximately an 8 percent rate,
commodity prices will do well, everything
else equal. However, if they slide to a 5
percent growth rate, expect a 20 percent
reduction in commodity prices. If the
GDP growth of these nations falls to a 3
percent rate, it is an indicator of recession
for the BRICS, so expect major correction
of commodity prices.
A key variable that could impact the
BRICS’ growth rates is how the European
economy handles sovereign debt issues.
The European region is one of China’s
largest customers. Recently China eased
bank lending requirements in an attempt
to stimulate growth in response to the
slowing of its economy, partially due
to decreased exports. If the euro was to
break up, this could result in a ripple effect
through the world economy. Currency
valuations and trade agreements would
be in a turbulent mode.
Another factor one must weigh in
global economics is that the BRICS nations
have avoided a period of adversity so
far, unlike others around the world. For
example, the euro sector was doing fine
until the world economic collapse shocked
its nations and banking system, resulting
in discourse amongst the sector. If an
adverse political, military, or social event
was to descend on China and the rest of
the BRICS, surprising their economies, the
implications could be immense for U.S.
agriculture. History has shown the way a
nation handles adversities is similar to an
athletic team aspiring for championship.
An adverse event will either knock them
off track, or they will gather strength and
come back stronger. Only time will tell if
or when this will occur.
The ever-present “black swan” of
oil prices will be a factor in agricultural
decision-making for an extended period
of time. Maintain close surveillance on
issues in the Middle East, particularly
involving Israel, Iran, and Saudi Arabia.
Any disruption could result in a spike of
oil prices, possibly to as high as $200 per
barrel. While the probability is small, this
planning aspect needs to be considered.
Shifting focus to the developed
countries including the U.S., business
models and planning must be developed
for a 1 percent to 2 percent GDP growth
rate for these regions of the world, with
the constant threat of recession. Several
major headwinds to these countries are high
levels of federal debt, an aging population,
and expensive entitlement programs. These
factors, along with a dismal housing market
and high rates of unemployment, will be the
variables that contribute to slow to modest
growth at best for industries and enterprises
tied to developed countries’ economies.
While my comments thus far may
sound somewhat negative regarding global
economics, opportunity abounds for the
agricultural industry. One must conduct
financial scenario planning to outline strategies and actions given volatile times. Next,
if your operation is profitable, develop a
plan to allocate profits to their best uses,
and build reserves of working capital and
cash in case of financial adversity. Position
your business for the next opportunity with
a disciplined growth strategy. Yes, global
economics are intimidating and sometimes
difficult to comprehend; however, sound,
disciplined decision making in conjunction
with a strong relationship lender and team
of advisors will be critical in navigating the
global economic whitewaters. z

“Feed My School for a Week”
Pilot Program Launched
Bleckley, Colquitt, and Hall County Schools Slated to Participate
Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary W.
Black and State School Superintendent Dr.
John Barge have announced a partnership
aimed at increasing awareness about the
importance of proper nutrition and healthy
eating. The “Feed My School for a Week”
program will also teach Georgia students
more about where their food comes from.
Bleckley, Colquitt, and Hall counties
have been selected as the three school systems
to pilot the “Feed My School for a Week”
program during the 2011-2012 school year.
“This is a great leap forward to help
show young Georgians where the food they
eat is grown,” said Commissioner Black.
“Through this program, students will learn
about the processes taken to bring their
school meals from a local Georgia farm to
the cafeteria table, while simultaneously
receiving a healthy, delicious meal.”
“Georgia is second in the nation in
childhood obesity,” Superintendent Barge
said. “The ‘Feed My School for a Week’
program is a great first step in raising
students’ awareness of nutritional options
as well as promoting healthier meals in
our schools.”
The phrase “Farm-to-School” is
becoming increasingly popular in the U.S.
when it comes to offering healthy, fresh
produce options to students. To keep
Georgia a step above the rest, the State
Departments of Education and Agriculture
have combined their efforts to better assist
all school districts in this initiative.
The “Feed My School for a Week”
program aims to help bridge the gap in
the nutritional value and quality of food
served in Georgia schools, while providing
more farm to cafeteria opportunities. The
result will be healthier Georgia students,
decreased barriers in farm to school efforts
and increased awareness as students learn
and experience, both educationally and
nutritionally, where their food comes from.
Each of the three school systems will
be represented by an elementary school in
their district. During a one-week period
in the spring semester, all lunches served
out of each selected school’s cafeteria will
consist of 75-100 percent Georgia-grown
food. The schools will host an agriculture
guest speaker, hold “taste tests” for Georgia
commodities, and conduct an essay contest.
There will also be an art contest at each
school that is focused on a single Georgia
commodity, in addition to several other
educational activities throughout the
designated week. z

Tyler Johnson—
Small Town Entrepreneur
By Mary Kiley
As one of the youngest business owners
in Warren County, Tyler Johnson has
taken a local feed and seed company and
expanded the business to include a custom
fertilizer operation that would be the
envy of many older, more experienced ag
services providers.
Born and raised in Warrenton, Tyler
grew up working on the family’s cattle
farm. And like most all the farmers in the
area, he knew the owner of the local feed
and seed store, Mr. Gene Smith, who had
run Smith Farm Supply since the mid-1950s.
While Tyler was a junior in college, Mr.
Gene decided it was time to retire as he
was approaching the age of 70. He told
Tyler that he was ready to sell the store
and offered Tyler the opportunity to
purchase the business. So Tyler Johnson left
the halls of higher education and entered
the world of feed, seed, lawn and garden,
hardware, fencing, animal health supplies,
and fertilizer. For several months beginning
in the fall of 2007, he worked with Mr.
Smith and the staff of the store to learn
the business; at the age of 21, he became
the proud owner of Smith Farm Supply in
Warrenton, Georgia.
His first year in the business, Tyler had
five fertilizer spreaders; he bought a truck
and spreader for chicken litter and has in
succeeding years continued to expand the
custom fertilizer segment of the business.
There is now a fleet of 14 spreaders for litter,
liquid and granular fertilizer, herbicide
and pesticides as well as tender trucks,
nurse tanks, and portable storage tanks. “I
wanted to expand the original business to
emphasize the custom fertilizer operation
but still keep the local feed and seed store,”
says Tyler. Liquid nitrogen is one of their
biggest sellers; in 2010 he increased the
on-site storage from 36,000 to 250,000
gallons. “We do a lot of business trucking
and spraying liquid nitrogen.”
“Warrenton is a good location for a
custom fertilizer business. North of town
is mostly cow-calf operations; south of us
is mostly row crops, so we’re in a good
One of the biggest markets is liquid nitrogen.
In December of 2010 storage was increased to
250,000 gallons.
The custom fertilizer business now consists of a fleet of 14 spreaders as well as tender trucks, nurse
tanks and portable storage tanks.
At top: Smith Farm Supply still is the place to
go in Warrenton for hardware, fencing, feed,
seed, lawn and garden supplies and animal
health supplies.
“Whether a farmer needs liquid nitrogen or a custom blend of fertilizer
we have the resources to target their specific nutrient requirements.”
location to serve both worlds,” Tyler
continues, “We fertilize a lot of hay but
also cotton, corn, peanuts, and small grains
as well as some pecan groves and food plots
for hunters. Whether a farmer needs liquid
nitrogen or a custom blend of fertilizer, we
have the resources to target their specific
nutrient requirements.”
In 2008 the price of fertilizer soared,
making customized fertilizer plans even
more important for controlling input
costs for crops. Farmers depend on soil
sample reports to determine the necessary
balance of fertilizer inputs for each crop
and field. The employees at Smith Farm
Supply customize fertilizer blends based
on soil sample reports. They also can apply
chemicals, herbicides, and pesticides for
any size job. “We do it all, any size job from
a 1/10 of an acre deer food plot to 10,000
acres of row crops. It is a seasonal business.
April and May are crazy months,” says
Tyler, “We are busy with lime, granular
fertilizer, liquid fertilizer, and chicken
litter. During the summer months we
work mainly with liquid nitrogen, and
late summer through early fall we do a lot
of food plots for hunters.”
With the recent opening of a second
store in Lincolnton, the fertilizer and
chemical operation serves an area of a 50-60
mile radius from Warrenton, including
the counties of Wilkes, Lincoln, Greene,
“We do it all, any size job
from a 1/10 of an acre deer
food plot to 10,000 acres of
row crops. It is a seasonal
business. April and May
are crazy months.”

McDuffie, Burke, Jefferson, Glascock,
Washington, Richmond, and the area
around McCormick, South Carolina.
Even though the custom fertilizer
business has grown in the past few years
the feed and seed side of the business
continues to be an important landmark
in the community. The building housing
the feed and seed store was originally
constructed in the 1930’s as a cotton
warehouse; Tyler’s grandfather helped
build the structure. As the name implies,
a lot of feed is warehoused and sold here;
feed for everything from cats and dogs,
goats, birds, horses, and cattle.
“None of this would have been
possible without the help of Farm Credit,”
says Tyler. He has been a member of
AgGeorgia for about two years now. “We
did most of the work for the loan over the
phone with Valda Tanner.”
“Tyler has a good head for business,
a good business plan, and works hard to
make his operation a success,” says Kay
Bedgood, Tyler’s Farm Credit loan officer
since Valda Tanner retired last year.

Farm Supply, their feed, or custom fertilizer
business, give Tyler Johnson a call at

2012 Designated as the
“International Year of Cooperatives”
By James T. Midcap and Henry Clay, Extension Horticulturists, Retired
United Nations Resolution 64/136, adopted
by the General Assembly on December 18,
2009, designates the year 2012 as the “International Year of Cooperatives.”
During the first session of the 112th
Congress of the United States the Senate
passed resolution #87 designating the
year of 2012 as the “International Year
of Cooperatives.”
Just how important are cooperatives
in the United States? Take a look at these
statistics from the Senate resolution:
•There are more than 29,000 cooperatives with 120,000,000 members in
the U.S.
•Cooperatives in the U.S. generate
2,000,000 jobs and contribute substantially to the economy with annual
sales of $652,000,000,000 and assets
of $3,000,000,000,000.
What is a cooperative?
A cooperative is a user-owned and usercontrolled business that distributes
benefits on the basis of use. To understand
what these terms mean, let’s compare a
cooperative to other forms of business.
In the United States, most businesses
are owned by individuals, partnerships
or corporations.
•An individual who owns a business
is called a sole proprietor. The sole
proprietor controls the business
and receives all the profits the
business makes.
•In a partnership, the partners own
and control the business and share its
profits in proportion to each person’s
percent ownership in the business.
•In most corporations, stockholders
own the business. When people buy
stock in a corporation, they become
owners of the business. Usually, a
stockholder’s voting power or control
of the corporation is determined by
the number of shares of stock he
owns. When the corporation makes
a profit and declares a dividend, the
stockholders receive dividends. Each
stockholder’s share of the corporation’s profits is based on the number
of shares of stock they own. This
type of corporation is often referred
to as investor-owned or investororiented corporation, also called an
IOF (investor-owned firm).
Cooperatives are also organized
as corporations; however, they operate
differently than investor-oriented corporations in three fundamental ways. In a
cooperative corporation:
•The people who use the cooperative
own the business. In most cooperatives, that means that the only people
who can purchase stock in the
cooperative are those who are using
its services. For example, you must
borrow from a Farm Credit cooperative in order to own Farm Credit
stock or participation certificates.
•The people who use the cooperative
control the business. In most cooperatives, that means the only people who
can vote on cooperative matters are
those who use the cooperative (and,
thus, own stock in the cooperative).
•The profits of the cooperative are
distributed to the users of the
cooperative. Each user’s share of the
cooperative’s profits is based—not
on the amount of stock the member
owns—but on the amount of business
the member has done with the cooperative. In a Farm Credit cooperative,
only eligible borrowers stand to share
in the association’s profits, and each
borrower’s share is proportional to
the amount of interest the association
earned on the borrower’s loan.
Why are cooperatives
formed?
To understand why cooperatives are
formed, let’s go back in time to the birth
of the United States. In colonial times, there
wasn’t a lot of capital or money available
to farmers to finance their businesses.
There weren’t banks in rural areas where
farmers could borrow money to purchase
land. That’s why farmers organized their
own credit cooperatives wherein members
of the cooperatives pooled their money and
loaned it out to other members to finance
land purchases.
Why were these colonial cooperatives
formed? Because the marketplace was not
meeting the needs of the colonial farmer.
Market failure is one of the primary
reasons cooperatives are formed. Other
reasons include:
•To benefit from economies of size.
One farmer, acting on his own, may
not be able to afford the costs of
building and maintaining a vegetable
packing plant or cotton gin. But
several farmers can join together to
form a cooperative to own and operate
the packing plant or gin.
•To provide missing services. Rural
America was kept in the dark for 50
years after the invention of the electric
light bulb. By the mid-1930’s, only one
in 10 farms in the U.S. had electric
power. Why? The electric companies
could not provide electricity to rural
areas because farmers lived too far
apart and were unable to pay the rates
necessary to make service profitable.
With help from the Rural Electrification Administration, farmers and
others living in rural areas formed
electric cooperatives to bring
electricity to the farm.
A cooperative is a user-owned and user-controlled business
that distributes benefits on the basis of use.
•To achieve market power. Farmers
often join together to purchase
supplies in bulk. Doing so enables
them to lower the cost of supplies
to each individual farmer. Similarly,
by forming bargaining cooperatives,
farmers can negotiate with commodity
buyers to assure themselves of competitive prices for the sale of the products
they produce.
•To assure a source of supplies.
Farmers need sources and markets
they can depend upon. During the
energy crisis of the 1970’s, domestic
fertilizer prices were controlled.
Investor-owned U.S. fertilizer
companies sold their output to the
highest bidders on the world market,
creating fertilizer shortages at home.
However, farmers who belonged to
supply cooperatives had first call on
their cooperatives’ output.
•To assure markets for commodities
produced. Access to a market is a
major concern to farmers who produce
perishable crops, such as fruits or
vegetables. If a farmer loses his market,
he can lose all of his investment in
his crop. Therefore, membership in
a cooperative may offer farmers more
security than a year-to-year contract
with an investor-owned processor.
The Basic Cooperative
Principles
Soon after the Revolutionary War in the
United States, routes to the West opened
up to Americans. Farmers who needed
land simply picked up and moved west to
claim new land. As a result, the demand for
credit to finance land purchases abated, and
the Colonial cooperatives died out in the
U.S. But the ideas upon which they were
founded didn’t die. Instead, they traveled
across the Atlantic to Europe and were
used to develop a system of cooperative
Land Banks in Germany. This was called
the German Landschaft System.
President Woodrow Wilson (seated) signing the Federal Farm Loan Act on July 17, 1916.
In 1852, a group of 28 merchants
formed a cooperative in Rochdale, England.
The merchants, who came to be known as
the Rochdale Pioneers, formed a consumer
cooperative selling primarily consumer
goods such as food and clothing. The
group wanted their business to succeed,
so they studied the successes and failures
of several cooperatives that had preceded
them. From their studies, they formed a set
of rules for organizing and conducting their
cooperative. Today, these rules are known
as the Rochdale Principles.
The Rochdale Principles worked so
well that they were adopted by many of the
cooperatives that followed in time. Today,
Farm Credit and most other cooperatives
follow some of the Rochdale Principles.
These principles include:
•Service at cost. Service at cost doesn’t
mean non-profit. Cooperatives are
expected to earn profits. It’s what the
co-op does with its profits that distinguish it from other businesses. In the
Farm Credit philosophy, service at cost
means that our cooperative returns to
users (borrower/members) earnings
over and above the amount needed for
capital and operating expenses.
•Financial obligation and benefits
proportional to use. This means
that cooperative members have an
obligation to finance the cooperative—
that is, to provide capital for the
cooperative—and the amount of an
individual’s investment in the cooperative is determined by the amount of
business he does with the cooperative.
The more business a member does, the
greater the financial obligation. It also
means that the benefits the member
derives from the cooperative are based
on his use of the co-op’s services.
Continued on page 12
2012 Designated as the “international Year of Cooperatives” (continued from page 11)
In the Farm Credit philosophy,
this means that each member has an
obligation to capitalize the association, and his investment or stock
requirement is based on the amount
of money he borrows—to a point.
This principle is demonstrated
by your ACA’s Capitalization Plan
which requires members to purchase
stock in your ACA in an amount
equal to 2% of their loans. “To a
point” is demonstrated by the fact
that the stock requirement is capped
at a maximum of $1,000. The stock
requirement is capped at $1,000
because we believe that most of our
capital should come from earnings,
not from member investments.
Members receive benefits in a
cooperative according to their use
of the cooperative’s services. A Farm
Credit member’s primary benefit is
his patronage refund.
•Limited return on equity capital.
This principle means that the cooperative returns benefits to members
based on usage, not equity ownership.
Members should not join a cooperative
with the objective of getting a return
on their equity investment (stock)
in the cooperative. Instead, their
objective should be to obtain a service
at the lowest cost after the cooperative
meets its operating expenses and
capital needs.
•Democratic control. Democratic
control of the cooperative is the last
basic cooperative principle. In Farm
Credit and most other cooperatives,
this means “one man, one vote” or,
better said, “one member, one vote.”
Cooperative pioneers recognized
that a cooperative must be governed
by its members on their basis of their
status as member-users (C stock versus
A stock) and not as investors in the capital
structure of the cooperative. Voting
power, the voting process and director
selection rules and member rights to
participate in cooperative affairs express
the member-control principle.
Patronage Refunds
Patronage Refunds differentiate us in
the marketplace.
Other lenders can match us headto-head on rates, products and service.
However, it is our ability to share our
profits with our borrowers that distinguishes us in the marketplace and is often
the primary reason a borrower will choose
Farm Credit over the competition.
How does Farm Credit share its profits
with its member-users?
Most businesses return their profits
to their investors, not their customers.
However, because your association is
organized as a cooperative, it can return its
profits to its customers, or member-users.
One of the basic cooperative principles is
the “user-benefit principle”; that is, users
stand to benefit from a cooperative’s
successful operations.
Here’s how Farm Credit practices that
principle: At the end of each fiscal year,
your Farm Credit association determines
its total income and expenses. Income
Farm Credit puts our
profits in your pocket!
remaining after all expenses are deducted
(net income) can then be distributed in
accordance with the bylaws.
Your association’s board of directors
can elect to:
•retain all of the net income to
strengthen the association’s capital
position, or
•distribute some or all of the association’s net income to members by
declaring a dividend on stock or
declaring a patronage refund.
What is a patronage refund?
A patronage refund:
•is a way of distributing the association’s net income to borrowers. A
borrower’s refund is based on the
proportion of interest earned on his
loan to the total interest earned by
the association.
•may be paid in cash, allocated
surplus, stock, or any combination
of these items.
How do patronage refunds benefit your
Farm Credit association?
Patronage refunds can help your
association reduce its tax expense, and
maintain a strong capital position.
This helps the entire membership
because an association with a strong capital
position is better able to offer competitive
interest rates, ensure a constant supply
of credit and provide for the retirement
of member equity held in the form of
allocated surplus.
Unlike other corporations, where
profits are taxed twice—when earned
by the corporation and when distributed
to owners as dividends—a cooperative’s
profits are taxed only once when they’re
distributed as a patronage refund.
Your cooperative is allowed a tax
deduction for the amount of net income
that it distributes in the form of a qualified
patronage refund. Therefore, to effectively
manage the association’s tax expense and
maintain a strong capital position, your
association’s board may elect to distribute
taxable earnings to members as a qualified
patronage refund.
What is Allocated Surplus?
Members, through their boards,
usually elect to leave a portion of the
patronage refund in the cooperative
to help keep its operations on a sound
financial basis.
The retained portion of each member’s
patronage refund is recorded on the books
of the association, or allocated to each
member’s equity account. This retained
patronage refund is called Allocated
Surplus. Allocated Surplus can be either
Qualified or Non-Qualified.
Qualified Allocated Surplus
•is a portion of the patronage refund
your association retains for the
purpose of accumulating capital.
•can be retired only when approved by
the association’s board of directors.
The association’s goal is to operate
efficiently and maintain a strong
permanent capital base. It is the
board’s responsibility to continually
monitor the financial position of the
association. The board may vote to
retire Qualified Allocated Surplus
when it determines the association
does not need it for capital.
•is issued in annual series, with each
series being identified by the year
in which it was issued. Similarly,
allocated surplus can be retired only
by series, or portions thereof. Under
the by-laws, the association cannot
honor requests from members to retire
individual allocated surplus accounts.
The Internal Revenue Code allows
your association to claim a tax deduction
for a patronage distribution made in the
form of Qualified Allocated Surplus in
the year it is issued, as long as at least 20
percent of the total patronage refund is
paid in cash. Since the Internal Revenue
Code requires that patronage distributions
in the form of Qualified Allocated Surplus
be treated as taxable income in the same
manner as cash distributions, association
members must declare such patronage
refunds as taxable income in the year they
receive them.
Members do not have to pay tax on
Qualified Allocated Surplus when it is
retired since they paid tax on it when it
was issued.
Non-Qualified Allocated Surplus
•is another way your association can
distribute its net income. If your
association’s board declares part or
all of a patronage refund in the form
of Non-Qualified Allocated Surplus,
the association will pay tax on the
Non-Qualified Allocated Surplus
portion in the year it is issued.
•Members do not pay tax on this part
of the refund in the year it is issued.
However, when the association’s
board elects to retire Non-Qualified
Allocated Surplus, the association
may take a tax deduction on the
amount retired, and the amount
retired will become taxable income
to association members.
How does a board determine when to
revolve (or retire/redeem) Qualified or
Non-Qualified Allocated Surplus?
Just as a farmer needs an adequate
net worth or equity position to grow and
protect his business during lean years,
an association needs a strong permanent
capital base to grow and maintain a sound
financial condition. In accordance with
FCA Regulations and sound business
principles, each board has adopted a plan
to accumulate and maintain sufficient
permanent capital.
It is the board’s responsibility to
continually monitor the financial position
of the association. The board may vote to
retire Qualified Allocated Surplus when it
determines the association does not need
it for capital.
The board considers several factors,
many of which are outlined in its Capitalization Plan, before it decides to revolve
or retire Allocated Surplus. These include:
•Capability of management,
•Quality of operating policies, procedures and internal controls,
•Quality and quantity of earnings,
•Asset quality and the adequacy of
the allowance for losses to absorb
potential loss within the loan and
lease portfolios,
•Sufficiency of liquid funds,
•Needs of the ACA’s customer base,
and
•Other risks as the association’s operations may expose it to.
How do patronage refunds benefit Farm
Credit borrowers?
Patronage refunds benefit borrowers
by reducing their cost of borrowing. We
charge competitive rates on our loans—
rates comparable to those charged by other
lenders for similar loans—and we reduce
our borrowers’ effective cost of borrowing
when we pay patronage refunds.
How are patronage refunds issued?
The cash portion of a member’s
patronage refund may be issued by check
or recorded on the association’s books in
a special account. When any portion of a
patronage refund is paid in cash, the board
of directors may elect to set a minimum
check amount as a means of controlling
expenses. Cash distributions below the
minimum check amount are recorded in a
special account called Patronage Payable.
On the Notification of Patronage Refund,
refunds placed in Patronage Payable appear
under “Not Distributed.”
Members may request a check for
monies in their Patronage Payable accounts,
request that these amounts be applied to
their loans, or leave these distributions “on
account” with their association.
Patronage refunds issued in the form
of allocated surplus can only be retired,
or paid to members, upon approval of the
board. Under the bylaws, the association
cannot honor requests from members to
retire individual allocated surplus accounts.
Each time a patronage distribution is
issued, your Farm Credit association will
notify eligible members of their patronage
refunds. The notification will include a
breakdown of the amount paid in cash (by
check or Patronage Payable entry) and the
amount paid in allocated surplus or stock. z

New Outdoor Recreation Pass
Needed at 32 State Wildlife Areas
The new Georgia Outdoor Recreation Pass
has been in effect a few weeks and will help
with much-needed maintenance on state
wildlife areas.
Thirty-two sites managed by the
Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
now require the Georgia Outdoor Recreation Pass (GORP) for visitors ages
16-64. Exempt from the requirement are
individuals who have a valid WMA License,
Honorary License, Sportsmen’s License,
Lifetime License, or Three-Day Hunting
and Fishing License.
In all, Wildlife Resources Division
manages more than 100 properties across
the state. However, GORP impacts only
about one-third of the areas—the spots
with the highest traffic by all users.
The GORP requirement began Jan. 1,
although communications outreach about
“The GORP revenue will be directed to long
overdue maintenance projects such as roadways,
trails, parking lots, and other facilities.”
the new pass going into effect began in fall
2011. Signs are posted on affected properties
and a complete list of sites is online at
www.georgiawildlife.com.
The new access pass provides for
users including hikers, birders, cyclists,
and horse-riders to help cover maintenance
at designated wildlife management areas,
public fishing areas, and natural areas. That
work has been funded mostly by hunters
and anglers.
“As budgets have become tighter over
the last few years, maintenance funds have
been stretched thin,” says Dan Forster,
director, Wildlife Resources Division.
“Hunters and anglers have been paying the bill
through state license fees and federal excise
taxes to maintain these properties. However,
other users contribute to the general wear
and tear of the sites too. The GORP revenue
will be directed to long overdue maintenance
projects such as roadways, trails, parking lots,
and other facilities.”
Quick Notes on GORP:
Forster explains that the 32 statemanaged properties were chosen through
extensive public involvement. GORP was
addressed in a total of 12 public meetings
in 2010 and 2011. The sites were identified
as experiencing the most impact by recreational visitors. Because GORP is a new
requirement, enforcement will be an educational process, Forster adds.
For individuals, a GORP costs $3.50
for three days or $19 for a year. For groups
of eight or fewer people, the pass is $10
(three days) and $35 (annual). A transaction fee applies ($2.50 online, $3 at retail
license agents or $5 by phone).
On sale since November 1, 2011, the
GORP is available at www.georgiawildlife.
com/recreational-licenses, by calling 1-800366-2661, or through retail license agents.
To learn more, see a map of the areas
or review frequently asked (and answered)
questions, please visit www.georgiawildlife.
com/Georgia-Outdoor-Recreational-Pass. z
•You can purchase a GORP at www.georgiawildlife.com, by phone
(1-800-366-2661) or at a license retail agent (agents are listed online).
•A GORP is $3.50 for three days, $19 for an annual pass. Group passes are
also available. Transaction fees apply.
•GORP requirements apply only to people age 16-64. Youth ages 15 and
under are exempt from GORP. Adults 65 and older are also exempt.
•People who have a valid WMA License, Honorary License, Sportsmen’s
License, Lifetime License or Three-Day Hunting and Fishing License.
These licenses already provide for access to the properties. Other hunting
and fishing licenses do not qualify for a GORP exemption.
UGA’s Ag Leadership Program
Ready to Launch
Dr. Rochelle Strickland
By Hannah McClain, Ag Communication Major
An agricultural leadership program in
Georgia is scheduled to launch in the
fall of 2012 at the University of Georgia’s
College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. The Advancing Georgia’s
Leaders in Agriculture (AGLA) program,
is designed to develop individuals within
agriculture and natural resources to
become more effective spokespeople for
their industry, establish strong allegiances
across the state and nation to work
together on issues, and further develop
their personal and professional leadership
development skills and abilities.
Director of the leadership program, Dr.
Rochelle Strickland, is a faculty member
within the Department of Agricultural
Leadership, Education, and Communication and has a strong interest in adult
leadership development, specifically
within the agricultural industry. Prior to
coming to UGA, Strickland worked with
the Wedgworth Leadership Institute for
Agriculture and Natural Resources at the
University of Florida and focused her
research on the outcomes and impacts of
similar programs. From these experiences,
Strickland is basing the program model
upon the successful and effective models
used throughout the U.S. in states such as
Oklahoma, Kentucky, and Washington,
just to name a few. Similar to many of the
other state programs, the UGA program
will include a national and international
study trip along with the in-state travel
throughout Georgia and consist of a
two-year period for each class.
The immediate focus for the program
is participant recruitment. Participants
will be selected through a nomination,
application, and interview process.
Nominations can be made by individuals
from within the state of Georgia that are
involved in Georgia’s agriculture and
natural resources industries. AGLA will
begin accepting nominations for the first
class in May 2012 with applications to be
accepted through July 2012.
“Advancing Georgia’s Leaders in
Agriculture is an opportunity to bring
together individuals from across the state
of Georgia to continue their growth as
leaders, provide them with a stronger
understanding of issues, and assist them in
becoming more effective advocates for the
agricultural industry as we are faced with
new challenges each day,” said Strickland.
The class will consist of approximately
25-30 diverse individuals to establish a
stronger, more in-depth level of discussion,
perspective, and expertise. The 22-month
long program will consist of approximately
“Advancing Georgia’s Leaders in Agriculture is
an opportunity to bring together individuals from
across the state of Georgia to continue their growth as
leaders, provide them with a stronger understanding
of issues, and assist them in becoming more effective
advocates for the agricultural industry as we are faced
with new challenges each day.”
50 days and utilize over 300 expert speakers,
discussion panels, tours and other adult
learning methods to enhance the participant’s experience. The locations and
topics of the program will be based upon
the current issues surrounding Georgia’s
agriculture and natural resources industries,
such as water, immigration, and regulation.

Bringing Families Together
in the Kitchen
Family Features
It’s not always easy to make healthy
food choices, particularly if it involves
changing your eating habits. Start by
bringing your loved ones together in the
kitchen - studies have proven that cooking
together as a family not only strengthens
the bond between parents and children, but
encourages healthy eating habits.
Allowing kids to help in the kitchen
and get their hands dirty by washing,
measuring and mixing teaches them where
their food comes from and builds a sense
of accomplishment. Cooking healthy meals
together is the perfect family activity to
encourage healthy habits and reinforce
family time. The trick is finding recipes
that encourage participation from children
of all ages and make parents happy with
good healthful nutrients and flavor.
“Cooking recipes that include whole
grain ingredients like rice can lead to
better meal options for your family as it
attracts healthier, more colorful foods such
as vegetables and fruits,” says Chef Chris
Skolmutch, Culinary Innovation Manager
for Mars Food USA and participant in the
Chefs Move to Schools campaign. “Rice
serves as the perfect kitchen ingredient
because kids enjoy making and eating meals
that are simple yet tasty, while parents
want to make sure they’re eating something
full of proteins, fiber and vitamins.”
For families looking for ways to get
together in the kitchen and start cooking,
here are a few tips provided by Rachael
Ray’s Yum-O, a non-profit which empowers
kids and their families to develop healthy
relationships with food and cooking:
• Measuring: Allow your kids to measure
ingredients using traditional tools (i.e.
cups and teaspoons), and nonconven-
tional methods (i.e. pinch and dash),
to build their own sense of taste.
• Knives and cutting: Instruct your
children on how to use kitchen shears
instead of knives to cut things like
herbs and soft fruits and vegetables
until they (and you) are comfortable
with them using knives.
• Clean up time: Teach your children
the importance of cleaning cutting
utensils and cutting boards after
finishing up, especially when
handling raw meat or poultry.
