Tim Bays. Every year, millions of anglers along the East Coast in the Gulf of Mexico pit their skills against what's been called one of the greatest game fish in the southern United States. Red Drum, also called channel bass spot tail or redfish, haven't appealed. It's hard to explain history of red drum fishing in the Gulf of Mexico and off the coast of the southeastern United States stretches back nearly 300 years since the 17 hundreds, anglers have pursued these fish in the near shore waters and estuaries where Red Drum spend most of their lives. Today, fishermen invest a lot of time and a lot of money going after Red Drum. It all began on a cool fall day in the mountains of North Georgia, or so the story goes. It was 18 20 games, and young Benjamin Parks was walking quietly through the woods, looking for deer. As he wandered, his foot struck an unusual looking rock, one whose deep yellow color made it stand out on the forest floor. This, it's been said, was the first discovery of gold in Georgia. This story, though, while widely known and often repeated, is only one of many popular legends about the start of Georgia's gold rush. And while Benjamin Parks may not have been the first to find gold here, he was far from the last. Here at Florida's natural, we pour the collective wisdom of several generations of Citrus growers into every glass of juice within the Florida's natural grower community. It's not unusual to find families that have been in Citrus for three generations. Being a Florida's natural grower is steeped in tradition, family and time honored ways of doing things. The past is very much a part of the present in our growth. We have a deep respect for our heritage that comes from our close tie to the land, to the trees and to the fruit itself. These connections these values are the legacy of our fathers and grandfathers, and we're proud to continue their tradition of producing the finest Citrus in the world. The civil war began on April 12 18 61 with the bombardment of Fort Sumpter in Charleston, South Carolina. Within days, President Lincoln ordered the blockade of all southern ports. Although the war would be largely fought on land, the survival of the South depended on the seas. Because the South had little manufacturing capacity, it needed to trade with Europe for weapons, materials and medicines. Savannah, the largest city and port in Georgia, was crucial to the southern cause, and a line of defensive fortifications was quickly planned for the city. Stout masonry forts like Pulaski and Jackson protected the main shipping channels, but Savannah was still vulnerable to attack from the maze of waterways that surrounded it. None was more important than the deepwater of the O Geechee River, which, if left unprotected, could bring union troops to within 12 miles of Savannah, Tennessee. Farmers Cooperative is proud to announce this year's winner of its highest honor, the James B. Walker Cooperative Spirit Award.
