Georgia Peanut Commission Holds Ribbon Cutting
and Open House for New Headquarters
The Georgia Peanut Commission (GPC)
board of directors concluded the commission’s
50th anniversary by holding the official ribbon
cutting ceremony and open house at the new
headquarters in Tifton, Ga., on July 31. The
new headquarters is located off Interstate 75
in Tifton at exit 63B.
“We are proud of the new energy
efficient headquarters and the opportunities
that exist to promote peanuts to millions of
consumers traveling through Georgia,” says
Donald Chase, GPC Building Committee
chairman and peanut farmer from Oglethorpe,
Ga. “The principles of forward thinking in the
design of the new headquarters is a testament
to the forward thinking of farmers in the
peanut industry here in Georgia.”
The new headquarters, designed by
Cadmus Design-Build, will be the first
net-zero energy building for state government
in Georgia. Cadmus Design-Build provides
architectural design and construction
management in the Master Builder tradition
towards net-zero energy, environmental
sustainability and economic feasibility goals.
These high performance standards are met
through a holistic approach to energy and
water efficiency, conservation, environmental
impacts and waste management as part of
design, development, construction and
ongoing building maintenance and operations.
The new headquarters was designed
and built to meet criteria for LEED
Certification at a Platinum Level with a
combination of systems which provide
synergies that result in enhanced performance overall. The site selection, development, building placement, design,
engineering and orientation all contribute
to low-impact and high performance results.
Beyond building to LEED Certification
standards, the new headquarters has fully
integrated alternative/renewable energy
systems that enhance performance capabilities
towards the near- and net-zero energy goals.
The new building’s integrated systems
include both passive and active geothermal
systems, passive solar architectural design and
engineering, solar photovoltaic systems, solar
thermal systems, natural/daylight harvesting
systems, rain and condensate harvesting,
Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture Gary Black and Georgia Farm Bureau President Zippy Duvall, joins the Georgia Peanut Commission board members for
the ribbon cutting at the new building.
“Not only does this building represent a huge commitment and
achievement from Georgia’s peanut farmers, but it will serve as an
achievement for the entire peanut and agricultural industry in Georgia.”
—Don Koehler, Georgia Peanut Commission executive director
and so many other materials and methodologies that all contribute to the Cadmus
Design-Build mission of “Building a Better
Environment.”
During the ceremony Debbie Cannon
with U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss’ office
presented a U.S. flag flown over the
U.S. Capitol in honor of the GPC’s 50th
anniversary. Congressman Austin Scott
commended the GPC on an excellent job and
stated that he looks forward to continuing to
represent them in Congress.
Commissioner of Agriculture Gary Black
also presented Georgia Grown products to the
GPC and stated that the department is having
a Georgia state flag flown over the Georgia
State Capitol in honor of the GPC. The GPC
was presented with congressional records on
their 50th anniversary from Sen. Chambliss,
Sen. Johnny Isakson, Congressman Scott and
Congressman Sanford Bishop.
“The commission is proud of the fact that
we have used local contractors and businesses
in the construction of the new headquarters
which has helped strengthen the economy
in the south Georgia area,” says Armond
Morris, GPC chairman and peanut farmer
from Ocilla, Ga. “The new headquarters will
assist the commission in fulfilling its mission
of educating consumers and telling the peanut
farmers’ story.”
During the ceremony Don Koehler,
GPC executive director, noted that
the new facility lacks only one thing,
“We’re absent of a mortgage because
it’s paid for.” He also said the cost of
the building was $87 per square foot.
“Not only does this building represent a
huge commitment and achievement from
Georgia’s peanut farmers, but it will serve
as an achievement for the entire peanut and
agricultural industry in Georgia,” Chase says.
“We have had numerous partners throughout
the industry that have seen the value of the
new headquarters and educating consumers
about agriculture.”
The new headquarters has been
made possible through sponsorships and a
commemorative brick and bench program.
The sponsors include:

A Caretaker of the Land
By Mary Kiley
“They’re not going to make any more land.”
Roy Malone frequently heard this nugget
of wisdom from his father, A.C. Malone, Sr.
He has passed it along through the years to
his children and grandchildren as he has
admonished them to care for the land of their
inheritance.
A farmer and caretaker of the land for
well over seven decades, today at 91 Roy
still takes pleasure in walking in his woods,
marking the timber for harvest and planning
for the future of his family’s farm.
“My grandfather moved to Laurens
County from Jasper County when my papa
was about 14, back in the late 1800s. He saw
how poor land management had eroded
away the topsoil. He learned something from
that, and he taught my papa about taking
care of the land. My papa taught me,” says
Roy. The lesson on land stewardship has
resulted in numerous accolades for Roy and
his Goose Hollow Farm. Among his awards
and recognitions he was selected as “Man
of the Year” in conservation for Laurens
County in 1962, recognized as an outstanding
forest landowner by the Georgia Forestry
Commission and received the Outstanding
Forest Stewardship award in 1995.
Roy’s dad was a farmer in the 1920s
when Roy was born; he and his siblings were
raised with a strong work ethic as they lived
through the depression of the 1930s. Roy
remembers picking cotton for neighbors from
daylight until dark. He had four jobs as he
completed two years of college at Abraham
Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton, where
he received his degree in 1941.
After graduation he told his dad that he
wanted to farm. His dad sold him 50 acres of
land and told him he would record the deed
when Roy had paid off the land. To earn
money to pay the debt Roy caught a bus for
Los Angeles, where his brother was working
at Lockheed and got a job there.
Wanting to fly, Roy then joined the
Army Air Corps and was sent to Texas for
flight training. Then it was on to Meridian,
Miss., for more training. By December of
Top of page, Roy and Sarah Malone have a love for the land they and their family have lived on and farmed for more than 70 years.
Below, Lt. Colonel Malone’s collection of World War II memorabilia includes the Longines-Wittnauer clock from his P-51 Mustang Fighter plane, “The Georgia
Rebel” and the flight log book he used in the Pacific theater.
“[My grandfather] saw how poor land management had eroded
away the topsoil. He learned something from that, and he taught
my papa about taking care of the land. My papa taught me.”
1944, he was headed to the Pacific where he
flew 65 combat missions in a P-51 Mustang.
He didn’t think much about the dangers of
being a fighter pilot during wartime, but after
returning from the missions the pilots were
given a couple of ounces of liquor for their
nerves. Since Roy didn’t drink he stashed the
liquor in a bottle and eventually traded it to
an infantryman for a Japanese sword, which
he still has in his collection of memorabilia
from the war.
Life was rough in the Pacific during
World War II. Meals were mostly K-rations.
One Christmas, Roy was hoping for a good
meal for the holiday; when he went to the
mess hall for dinner he says, “They put a
bunch of peas on my plate with some bread,
grits and syrup.” That was Christmas dinner.
He and his fellow pilots lived in tents. “We
dug fox holes next to our tents in case of an
air raid,” says Roy. “We had to be ready to
go on missions at any notice and never got
any time off.”
After the war Roy took his separation
pay and bought more land to farm. He
came home to Georgia, graduated from
the University of Georgia with a degree in
agriculture, married Sarah Weaver, started
a family and farmed. And he stayed in the
Air Force Reserves until his retirement as a
Lt. Colonel after nearly 30 years of service.
Roy Malone has seen many changes in
farming throughout his career and he has
been instrumental in making some of those
changes. Included in his resume are:
ŪŪ Past Vice President and member of
the board of the Mutual Production
Credit Association
ŪŪ Past Member of the board of South
Atlantic Production Credit Association
ŪŪ Past Vice President and board
member of the Dublin Federal Land
Bank Association
ŪŪ Past Member of the Agriculture, Small
Business and Labor Advisory Council
to the Federal Reserve Board of Atlanta
ŪŪ Past Chairman of the Hampton Mills
Community Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation Committee, 1963
and 1965
ŪŪ Member of Positioning Agriculture for
Rural Economic Advantage through the
UGA Cooperative Extension Service
in 2000
ŪŪ Past Chairman and member of the Board
of Directors of the Georgia, Florida and
Alabama Peanut Association
ŪŪ Certified Forest Steward
ŪŪ Past Member of the Georgia Commodity
Commission for Peanut Advisory Board
His awards and tributes are too many to
mention. But they all honor a remarkable man
who has lived his lifetime dream of being a
good farmer and steward of the land.
Today, Roy and Sarah’s son James does
most of the farming on the 2,000-acre farm.
Their other children, Pam Mullis and Gail
Poole, have other interests. Son, Pat, passed
away several years ago. Roy and Sarah
Malone hope that someday one of their 13
grandchildren or 19 great-grandchildren will
continue farming and conserving the land of
middle Georgia. z

Frequently Asked Questions
about Farm Credit
What is Farm Credit?
The Farm Credit System is a federally
chartered network of borrower-owned
lending institutions and related service
organizations, exclusively dedicated to
supporting agriculture and rural communities. We serve nearly 500,000 memberborrowers nationwide and provide more
than $170 billion in loans to farmers, ranchers,
rural homeowners, aquatic producers,
timber harvesters, agribusinesses, as well
as agricultural and rural utility cooperatives. A government-sponsored enterprise
(GSE) established by Congress in 1916, the
System provides more than one-third of the
credit used by those who live and work in
rural America.
to enhance the flow of credit to targeted
sectors of the economy. The Farm Credit
System was created in 1916 to provide a
stable and reliable source of debt capital for
the nation’s agriculture system and rural
America. Congress provided seed money
to help the System get started. The System
repaid all government capital by 1968, and
today operates without any financial support
from the federal government.
Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the
Federal Home Loan Bank System are also
Government Sponsored Enterprises.
Help Grow Your Farm Future
How is Farm Credit different
from other lenders?
Farm Credit’s cooperative structure means
that member-borrowers have a say in how
Farm Credit does business. Borrowers own
their local Farm Credit associations and
elect its board members. In accordance with
cooperative principles, Farm Credit banks
and associations often distribute a portion
of their earnings to member-borrowers in
the form of patronage refunds.
For nearly 100 years, Farm Credit has
been solely dedicated to helping farmers,
ranchers and rural communities. Customers
know they can depend on Farm Credit’s
expertise and commitment in good times
and bad.
The System’s size, structure and performance have earned worldwide support of
investors who continue to finance U.S.
agriculture and rural America by purchasing
Systemwide Debt Securities.
What is a GSE?
The term Government Sponsored Enterprise, or GSE, refers to a financial service
organization created by the U.S. Congress
As a GSE, the System is regulated by the
Farm Credit Administration, an independent
federal agency. Members of Farm Credit
Administration’s Board are appointed by the
President with the advice and consent of the
Senate. Having GSE status helps the Farm
Credit System ensure that rural America has
steady access to competitively priced funds
that are necessary to finance growth and
maintain the quality of life in rural communities and on the farm. z
Beginning January 2013, America’s farmers
and ranchers will have the opportunity to
make a positive impact on their communities by taking part in the Census of
Agriculture. Conducted every five years
by USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics
Service (NASS), the Census captures a
complete count of all U.S. farms, ranches
and those who operate them.
Census data are used by all those
who serve farmers and rural communities
from federal, state and local governments
to agribusinesses and trade associations.
Companies and cooperatives use the information to determine the locations of facilities
that will serve agricultural producers. Legislators use the information when shaping
farm policies and programs. And, of course,
members of farm organizations use Census
data to help make informed decisions about
the future of their operations.
As preparations continue for the 2012
Census of Agriculture, we call on farmers
and ranchers to share their stories, ask
questions and talk to their fellow producers
about this critical effort. Your answers to
the Census help grow your farm future;
shape farm programs; and boost services
for you, your community and your industry.
NASS will mail out Census forms in
late December, and responses are due by
February 4th, 2013. Producers also have the
option to complete their forms online. After
all, the Census is your voice, your future and
your responsibility. For more information

gov or call 1-800-4AG-STAT (1-888-4247828). The Census of Agriculture is your

Your Good Credit
Understanding Your Credit Report
By A. Michael Rupured, UGA Extension Consumer Economics Specialist
What do you do when someone asks to
borrow money or a personal item from you?
Your decision about whether or not to lend
will likely be based upon your perception of
that individual’s character, his or her capacity
to pay you back, any collateral offered in
exchange, perhaps your knowledge of capital
they hold in reserve, and conditions— the
situation they are in and the cost to you. We
call these factors the Five C’s of credit.
Lenders and other entities rely upon
these same factors when making decisions
about whether to do business with consumers
and businesses. Instead of gut reactions and
informal agreements, the world of credit relies
upon formal agreements that are regulated by
the federal government. Federal law determines the information that can and cannot
be used by lenders, employers, and others to
make decisions about doing business with
you. When you complete an application to
apply for a loan, lenders cannot ask about
your age, religion, race and other factors that
have nothing to do with your ability to repay
the loan. Credit Reporting Agencies (CRAs)
collect information about you from financial
institutions, court documents, public records,
companies with which you do business,
your employers and other entities. CRAs
make money by charging for access to the
information they have collected about you
for a wide variety of purposes including to
verify information you provide on job and
credit applications.
The CRA file about you is your credit
report. Your credit report documents the Five
C’s of credit as they relate to you and is the
basis for your credit score. Understanding
how your credit report is compiled and used
is essential for your long term economic wellbeing and overall financial security.
In a 2005 Government Accountability
Office (GAO) survey, the average score on
a knowledge test about credit reports and
credit scores given to consumers was just
55 percent. Two-thirds of the respondents
were unable to correctly name any of the
major Credit Reporting Agencies (CRAs).
An equal percentage did not know that credit
histories could impact insurance premiums
and possibly even employment. Nearly threefourths (72%) did not know that CRAs investigate incorrect information on one’s credit
report for free. Lastly, more than half (52%)
were not able to identify factors that affected
credit, and nearly one-third (32%) did not
know the definition of credit score.
Establishing, maintaining, and
protecting Your Good Credit can save you
thousands of dollars over time and may
mean the difference between you and your
competition for job opportunities. Federal
law (FACTA) allows all consumers to
obtain one free credit report every year from
EACH of the three major CRAs (Equifax,
Experian and TransUnion). You can request
your first free copy from each CRA online
(http://www.annualcreditreport.com) or toll
free (1.877.322.8228). Georgia residents are
entitled to a second free credit report from
each of the three major CRAs. To obtain your
second free copy you need to contact each
CRA individually. When you use the Internet,
they may ask for a credit card number before
determining that you are a Georgia resident
and eligible to receive a free copy. Providing
a credit card number is not required when
you call the toll free number for each CRA.
Negative information in your report that
is accurate remains on the credit report for
seven years; ten years in the case of Chapter 7
bankruptcy. Positive information may remain
on your report indefinitely, but is often purged
after seven years. Negative information may
reappear at a later date if the obligation is
still outstanding.
If your credit report contains inaccurate
information, follow the instructions that
came with the report for disputing errors.
The CRA has 30 days to confirm receipt of
your inquiry, and 60 days to investigate. You
may need to contact the creditor reporting
inaccurate information about you to clear
up the problem. Once the problem has
been resolved, wait two or three months
and request a copy of your credit report to
make sure the inaccurate information has
been removed.
Understanding how your credit report is compiled and used is essential
for your long term economic well-being and overall financial security.
What’s on Your Credit Report?
Personal Information including your name,
current and previous addresses, current and
previous employers, your Social Security
number, your telephone number, and your
date of birth are on your report. Age cannot
be used as a factor in employment or credit
decisions. Your date of birth is collected in
most cases to verify identity. Your credit
report does NOT include gender, ethnicity,
religion, political affiliation, medical history,
criminal records or your credit score. Credit
history includes information about credit
accounts that were opened in your name or
accounts for which you are an authorized
user. Accounts may include retail credit cards,
loans from a financial institution or finance
company, mortgages and home equity loans,
and bank credit cards. It generally does NOT
include information about your experience
with checking or savings accounts.
For each account, your credit file
includes the creditor’s name, your account
number, how much you borrowed, how much
you still owe, your credit limit, dates the
accounts were opened, updated, or closed, and
your repayment history. Repayment history
categories include: paid as agreed, 30 days
or more late, 60 days or more late, 90 days or
more late, and closed by lender due to default.
Inquiries are recorded on your credit
report any time someone requests access to
your file. There are three types of inquiries.
Consumer-initiated inquiries are the result of
your application for credit, employment, or
service leading to a request from the business
for your credit report so they can verify the
information you provided on the application.
There are also “Promotional Inquiries,” such
as when a credit card company is looking
for consumers with a particular profile for
marketing purposes, such as credit card offers.
Finally, there are “Administrative and Account
Management Inquiries” from businesses
you owe money to in order to verify that
your financial situation and ability to repay
hasn’t changed. Public Records include tax
liens, bankruptcies and court judgments. As
noted above, criminal records are NOT part
of your credit file. CRAs can and do create
specific credit reports to meet the needs of
the requesting entity.
When you request a copy of your credit
report from one of the three major CRAs
(Equifax, TransUnion and Experian), the
copy you receive includes everything so you
can verify the accuracy of the information
and address any errors. Requesting entities
may see all or part of that information, and in
some cases, more. Information not included
as part of your credit file, such as education
verification, Department of Motor Vehicles
record checks and criminal record checks, may
be combined with the report by entities that
specialize in background checks. z

Hunters Encouraged to
Review Tree Stand Safety Tips
Though commonly used by deer hunters
everywhere, tree stands often are improperly
installed. As a result, they are considered the
leading cause of hunting-related incidents,
according to the Georgia Department of Natural
Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division.
Not every tree stand is the same. Hunters
should be familiar with their particular
model’s features. Following are recommended
safety tips:
ŪŪ When using a non-climbing portable or
ladder stand, hunters should securely
fasten the stand to the tree and install
ladders or steps according to the
manufacturer’s directions.
ŪŪ Hunters should ALWAYS wear a FallArrest System (FAS)/Full Body Harness
during ascent and descent. Be aware that
single strap belts and chest harnesses are
no longer recommended and should not
be used. Failure to use a FAS could result
in serious injury or death.
ŪŪ Hunters should ALWAYS attach their
FAS in the manner described by the
manufacturer. Failure to do so may
result in suspension without the ability
to recover into the tree stand. Be aware
of the hazards associated with full body
harnesses and the fact that prolonged
suspension in a harness may also be fatal.
ŪŪ Have in place a plan for rescue, including
the use of cell phones or signal devices
that may be easily reached and used
while suspended. If rescue personnel
cannot be notified, you must have an
alternate plan for recovery or escape. If
you have to hang suspended for a period
of time before help arrives, exercise your
legs by pushing against the tree or doing
any other form of continuous motion or
use your suspension relief device.
ŪŪ Consider your personal physical
condition before going out. If you do
not have the ability to recover or escape
from a FAS, it is recommended that you
hunt only from the ground.
ŪŪ Hunters should ALWAYS use a haul line
to pull their gear and unloaded firearm
or bow into their tree stand. Never
climb with anything in your hands or
on your back. Prior to descending, lower
equipment to the ground on the opposite
side of the tree.
ŪŪ Staying awake and alert is important.
Hunters should avoid taking medications that cause drowsiness prior to
hunting. Also, never use alcohol or drugs
before or while hunting.
ŪŪ Hunters should always inform someone
of where they are hunting and what time
they expect to return. z

Agriculture in the Next Decade
Dr. Dave Kohl
By Dr. David M. Kohl
It is not often one gets to return to their alma
mater to be part of a distinguished panel to
address the future of agriculture and rural
America. Cornell University, in Ithaca, N.Y.,
overlooking Cayuga Lake, one of the Finger
Lakes, was the backdrop for this production. I
spent three years and six months here earning
my master’s and doctorate degrees. I shared
the panel with Dr. Kathryn Boor, Dean of
the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences,
and Mr. Chuck Connor, President and CEO
of the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives. The panel was moderated by one of my
former classmates, Mr. Bill Lipinski, CEO of
Farm Credit East. Let us explore some of the
thoughts and perspectives shared that day.
The Agricultural Marketplace
First, the food, fiber, and fuel marketplace
will undergo more change in the next 10 years
than it has in the past 50. Local, natural and
organic agriculture will be a growing segment
of the market, particularly in the population
belts of the eastern part of the United States
extending into Canada, where nearly 40
percent of the affluent population is located.
Globally, the emerging marketplace
will present tremendous opportunities
for producers in the food, fiber and fuel
businesses. The key will be to deliver products
to a global populace, in which 27 percent live
on less than a dollar per day and another 20
percent live on less than two dollars per
day. It was the consensus of the panel that
the U.S. agricultural industry needs to more
fully understand global emerging trends and
the needs of diverse cultures in regions with
growing populations.
Consumer Relations
The panel was in agreement that more time
will be needed with government agencies
and the public sector going forward. With 85
percent of Americans two generations away
from the farm, connecting with consumers
concerning market trends, and social and
natural resource issues needs to be a high
priority for any individual or group linked
to agriculture. Understanding the emotional
“hot buttons” of the public and developing
proactive, fact-based, educational response
programs are going to be critical to garner
support. More time will be spent across the
spectrum with local, state, national, and international government agencies and centers
given these challenges. One must be engaged
with consumers and be an advocate for the
agricultural industry.
The panel was asked how risk in the
agricultural industry has changed. Volatility
at the extremes in market dynamics, that
being cost, revenue, and bottom line net profit,
was the most frequent response. Volatility
will create more opportunity for success, but
it also comes with more opportunity to fail.
Success in Agriculture
This leads to the final issue of how one can
succeed in agriculture in the next 10 years.
Regardless of the agricultural endeavor, being
associated with the right people and having
effective “people skills” will be essential.
Networking with others and establishing
customer advisory groups in the business will
be critical to connect with the marketplace
and people outside of agriculture. Internally,
advisory groups can bring expertise and a
critical eye to business strategies that ensure
the operation stays on course, ensuring
a profitable, sustainable business and a
rewarding lifestyle.
Preserving flexibility in business
strategies and maintaining proper levels
of financial debt and working capital will
assist in navigating through the downturns
of economic cycles. This will also allow the
business to “hit the ground running” when
opportunities arise on the other side of a
downturn. These strategies apply regardless
of business size, enterprise or location.
All the panelists were bullish on the
next decade for the agriculture industry and
the opportunities it will present, not only
for business, but for a lifestyle that can be
a foundation for strong family values and
education of our youth. z
David Kohl received his M.S. and Ph.D.
degrees in Agricultural Economics from
Cornell University. For 25 years, Kohl
was Professor of Agricultural Finance and
Small Business Management and Entrepreneurship in the Department of Agricultural
and Applied Economics at Virginia Tech,
Blacksburg, Va. He was on special leave
with the Royal Bank of Canada working on
advanced initiatives for two years, and also
assisted in the launch of the successful entrepreneurship program at Cornell University.
Kohl is Professor Emeritus in the AAEC
Department at Virginia Tech.
